Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

960 Factory.

"Wasn't the meeting over long ago? Why hasn't Yangzi returned yet?" Qin Baoguo paced anxiously in the room.

"Lao Qin, just sit down, will you? I'm getting dizzy with you walking back and forth like that," Zhou Yongfei said.

"The meeting ended the afternoon before yesterday. He should have been back yesterday. I waited all day yesterday, and now it's already the afternoon, how can I not be worried? Could something have happened on the road?"

He was afraid that Yangzi had taken the 212 back in the middle of the night the day before, and what if the driver fell asleep and the car plunged into a ditch?

Qin Baoguo was very anxious.

Ding-ling-ling!

Just then, the phone rang. Qin Baoguo grabbed it, and the anxious voice of the gatekeeper came from inside.

"Hello, Factory Director, Director Dong is here!"

Director Dong? His arrival definitely isn't a good thing!

They were caught off guard. When they rushed down to greet Director Dong, Zhu Zizhong spoke first: "Director Dong, what instructions do you have for visiting our factory this time?"

Everyone was stunned.

Someone must have been creating obstacles, because they just couldn't reach an agreement with the relevant departments, and the relocation work couldn't proceed. Now it's actually been negotiated? Who negotiated it?

"The higher-ups ordered me and Engineer Qin to jointly promote this project, but Engineer Qin has other tasks, so I came to coordinate it myself," Director Dong continued to explain.

"Other tasks?" Qin Baoguo was even more surprised: "Director Dong, what tasks did Yangzi receive?"

"That's a long story. It involves secrets, so you don't need to ask too much. Let's discuss the relocation issue first. Who in your factory is responsible for this?"

"I am!" Zhou Yongfei was very excited.

"First, transfer 500,000 yuan from your factory's account. I'll take you to the brick factory to buy bricks and build the factory's walls first. Once the perimeter is up, everything else will be easier."

"Yes, yes! Director Dong, you don't need to come. I can go by myself."

"The higher-ups instructed that the relocation must be completed within three months. Time is tight, so we can't afford to argue. Let's go, let's set off now!"

Watching the leader leave, Qin Baoguo still couldn't believe his ears. What mission did Qin Yang have? And it involves secrets?

"Yangzi is worth two people! There's nothing he can't do!" Zhu Zizhong was very happy: "Once the factory completes the overall relocation, it will be able to develop and grow better in the future! Lao Qin, when I retire in the future, the position of factory director will be his!"

There was no prospect of development in the mountain沟沟. I don't know how many people were clamoring to return to the city. Back when Yang Zhaoxiang was here, he made a lot of money by arranging for people to return to the city. Now, those people must be regretting it.

Factory 960 was completely relocated to Shahe! Everyone went back, and Factory 960 is thriving!

Qin Yang has made a huge contribution to the development of the factory!

At this time, Qin Yang, who was being talked about by everyone, was standing on the tarmac of the capital airport, waiting listlessly.

Although he unexpectedly accepted such a ridiculous task, Qin Yang was at ease since he was already here. He knew that Steyr would definitely win in the end. Steyr's manufacturing of heavy trucks was just a sideline. In later generations, it was directly sold off because it wasn't profitable. Their main business was manufacturing weapons!

Having a good relationship with Steyr would make it easier to purchase electroslag remelting steel and other equipment.

In the 1980s, airports didn't have arrival and departure halls with direct access to the planes. The planes parked on the tarmac, and passengers had to walk or take a shuttle bus to cover that distance.

However, anyway, not many people could afford to fly in this era, the airport wasn't very busy, and there wouldn't be any situations of boarding the wrong plane.

"These foreigners are really rich. After hearing about our bidding, they actually chartered a transport plane to airlift their cars over!" Yu Changhong, the factory director of the Yellow River Factory, said with emotion beside Qin Yang.

"No, Director Yu, this is because the Austrians value our project. Would Mercedes-Benz be willing to spend money to charter a plane? It would definitely be shipped by sea," Wang Mangui, the factory director of the Hongyan Factory, said: "However, this Steyr is indeed not well-known."

"Steyr is not well-known because everyone hasn't heard of it. In fact, Steyr is also very famous in the industry." Hearing these people's comments, Qin Yang couldn't help but speak up.

"Famous in the industry?" Several people were stunned: "Then we are really ignorant."

"It's not that you are ignorant, but because the industry I'm talking about is not the automotive industry, but the arms industry." Qin Yang had nothing to do, so he chatted with everyone.

"The arms industry?"

"That's right. Steyr flourished because of weapons. In 1864, a company named Josef Franz Werndl was founded in Steyr, Austria. Its main business was manufacturing firearms. Since then, Steyr has been manufacturing firearms, and later began to get involved in automobile manufacturing. Speaking of making guns, Steyr has always been very good. The bullpup rifle that is popular all over the world was first created by Steyr."

The structure of ordinary rifles has already been finalized. The buttstock is at the back, the receiver is in the middle, and the barrel is at the front. It is already considered the most mature layout, but it is often inconvenient to use, such as in cities, in armored vehicles, etc. The shorter the gun, the better.

Some people began to use their brains. Could the receiver be placed in the position of the buttstock? This would greatly reduce the overall length of the gun!

In fact, if you say that the layout of the bullpup rifle was not first created by Steyr, the British would definitely be unhappy. However, it was Steyr who truly promoted the bullpup rifle. In 1978, they manufactured the famous STG77 rifle, which was not only used by themselves, but also exported in large quantities under the name AUG, which then triggered a bullpup rifle revolution. Even in shooting games, its shadow often appears.

After that, countries such as the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Israel developed their own bullpup rifles. In China, there is also the famous 95 family of rifles, which are all bullpup rifle structures.

"Their AUG rifle is 790 mm long overall, and the barrel is 508 mm long. Look at the M16, with the same 508 mm long barrel, the overall length of the gun is 986 mm," Qin Yang said: "This is the advantage of the bullpup rifle. However, Steyr's famous works are not limited to this one. The sniper rifles they produce are also excellent."

Qin Yang was talking eloquently here. Anyway, everyone present was making cars and didn't know how to make weapons, so he could brag as he pleased.

However, he didn't notice that several people were approaching, one of whom was a translator, who translated Qin Yang's words to them. These people listened to his introduction with great interest.

After Qin Yang finished his introduction, these people applauded.

"I didn't expect that there would be someone in the East who knows so much about our Steyr." One of the middle-aged men said: "We are more confident in opening up the Eastern market!"
