Chapter 27: A Cheap Bargain

Just then, Wang Shouxin suddenly came over with a box.

"Factory Director Zhang."

"Come and see this!"

"What is it?" Zhang Wen looked curiously at the box he was holding.

"Hehehehe!"

"Look."

Wang Shouxin opened the box, and against the backdrop of red cloth, was a glittering medal.

Tied with a red ribbon.

Zhang Wen widened his eyes.

"This is?"

"That's right." Wang Shouxin said.

"It's our collective first-class merit medal. This is one of them."

"How about it, isn't it beautiful!"

Wang Shouxin kept showing off.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off."

Zhang Wen said with annoyance.

"What are you in such a hurry for. Yours is coming soon too, but it probably won't be us issuing it to you."

Wang Shouxin said immediately.

"I have one too?"

Zhang Wen asked curiously.

"That's a must! When the time comes, there will be someone waiting for you." Wang Shouxin slapped his thigh!

"Then I'll have to take a good look when the time comes."

Zhang Wen said.

"You should be going back soon too."

"I don't have anything to give you."

"Here, take this." Wang Shouxin put a piece of black iron into Zhang Wen's hand.

"Yeah, it's time to part."

"What is this?" Zhang Wen looked suspiciously at the black iron block in his palm.

Wang Shouxin had a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"This is a piece of debris from Deng Shichang's ship, the Zhiyuan."

"What?" Zhang Wen widened his eyes.

"That's right, last year, when we were working underwater, we happened to discover it."

"Subsequently, we salvaged the Zhiyuan."

"But we found that the enemy had already carried out a great deal of destruction on it."

"We each took a piece of its debris at the time."

"Always staying vigilant."

Wang Shouxin said slowly, his eyes full of hatred.

"I, understand." Zhang Wen held this heavy black iron.

His heart was full of regret.

At that time, the level and training of the Zhiyuan were not low, and reasonably speaking, it could have fought a battle.

But it was because of the lack of military supplies, the shells didn't even match the caliber of the gun barrels, and most of them were damp ammunition.

Only then did they lose that naval battle.

He also understood what Wang Shouxin meant by giving him this piece of debris.

"May the sea waves be calm." Zhang Wen said this famous quote.

"Alright, I should go, and you should go too."

"If you have any suggestions for improvement, you can contact me; there are many problems that can be improved and avoided in the design and construction process."

Zhang Wen said to Wang Shouxin.

"Rest assured."

"When the time comes, I won't be polite with you!" Wang Shouxin laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, me too!"

Zhang Wen waved at him, formally saying goodbye to this journey.

The Navy specially prepared a military plane for Zhang Wen to return directly.

When he arrived in Sancheng City, Zhang Wen finally understood what it meant for someone to be waiting for him.

As soon as Zhang Wen got off the plane, he saw three high-end black cars parked neatly in the airport.

All the high-level leaders of Sancheng City were here.

"You finally came." The mayor of Sancheng City said politely.

Zhang Wen looked closely, they were all characters who had appeared on TV before.

Looking closely, there was also an acquaintance, it was that Secretary Gao.

Secretary Gao saw Zhang Wen's eyes looking at him, and stepped forward directly: "You've worked hard, let me take the luggage."

Subsequently, Zhang Wen was dragged into a car in a daze.

And taken back directly.

In the car, the mayor explained to Zhang Wen: "Although your name has already appeared in the news."

"But all other information has not been revealed."

"For safety reasons. I hope you understand."

Hearing such words, Zhang Wen certainly expressed understanding.

It's best if it's Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory that becomes famous, he doesn't want any fame at all.

The system didn't say that his reputation could be exchanged for rewards.

"I understand." Zhang Wen said.

"Hmm, rest assured, the National Security side has also started working on your new identity."

"Ah? Is there no need to make such a big fuss?" Zhang Wen asked suspiciously.

"It's very useful, and very necessary, what if you want to go abroad?"

"What if you want to attend a meeting?"

"What if you want to participate in academic exchanges?"

"These are all necessary. Otherwise, how can your safety be guaranteed? People like you are important figures in the country's future development."

"Now the country has also started to develop, and it can't be like before, letting you hide your name for most of your life."

"The reputation and other things you should have will not be missing."

Listening to the mayor's kind words.

Zhang Wen nodded.

"Good."

"You don't need to have any pressure either, they usually don't appear, and only appear when you need them."

The mayor continued to add.

"I understand."

"By the way, your missile boat is very good, and it really let me vent my anger. Hahaha."

He laughed loudly with some joy.

"That's good!" Zhang Wen also grinned and laughed.

"This way, your factory shouldn't be able to go bankrupt anymore, right?"

The mayor asked casually.

"That's right, now there are orders."

"Later there will be maintenance, upkeep, replacement work, it won't go bankrupt for the time being."

"The country is indeed very straightforward in terms

"Build! I'll pay for the ship construction!"

And the money arrived the very next day.

"That is indeed not bad."

"However, within our city, there are two other factories in a situation similar to yours before."

"It's really giving me a headache," the mayor said casually, as if just making idle conversation.

At this moment, Zhang Wen finally understood the meaning behind the mayor's words.

Having received the order and the money, things were naturally different from before; the mayor wanted him to help out and see if some simple tasks could be outsourced to them. After all, they were factories within the same city, and the mayor certainly didn't want to see them all go bankrupt.

Moreover, Zhang Wen had previously heard Chen Shifu and others say that the strength of several factories in Three Towns City was actually quite strong.

They were not at all weaker than the Qingtian Equipment Manufacturing Factory; after all, they were all old state-owned enterprises, and their technology couldn't be that bad.

It was just that their capital chains were broken, and they couldn't make up for it for the time being.

"Which two factories are they?"

"You're interested? Then I'll tell you about them."

"One is the Hongtian Airplane Factory, and the other is the 723 Factory, which is a tank factory, though they are building cars now. It's a pity their factory has always been lukewarm."

Seeing that Zhang Wen had taken the bait, the mayor revealed a fox-like smile.

At this moment, Zhang Wen was indeed extremely excited in his heart; wasn't this just perfect! One for drones to airplanes.

One for accumulating experience in electric vehicle electronic controls.

It was simply a perfect match!

No, must be a bit more composed, can't let him see it.

"Oh my, I know these two factories; their business situation isn't very good."

"And airplanes and tanks are very different from the missile boats our factory is going to build."

Zhang Wen said, pretending to disagree.

"Actually, they are all about the same; their factory has technical strength too. See if you can..."

The mayor was still persuading him.

"They are quite different. However, if the city wants me to take over these two factories, it's not impossible," Zhang Wen said, pretending to be troubled.

What? The mayor's eyes changed instantly; originally, he just wanted to introduce some orders to the two factories.

As a result, he didn't expect Zhang Wen to give him such a big surprise.

The person in front of him definitely had ability; without ability, he wouldn't have been able to build a missile boat.

However, he still offered a word of caution: "Zhang Wen, airplanes and tanks are still quite different from ships."

"Are you confident you can handle it well?"

"That depends on whether it's for military or civilian use. If it's a bit of both, I do have some ideas."

Zhang Wen frowned and said.

"Just like the Qingtian Manufacturing Factory, dual-use for military and civilian."

The mayor said decisively.

"Still a bit short on money. There's no capital on hand, and the debt of those two factories is a bit high."

"Fine, the city's bank will give you a loan, and the municipal government will give you a ten-year interest-free loan, with debt deferred for ten years. You only need to pay two yuan for the two factories."

The mayor said quickly.

"Alright. Mayor, since you've said so, I'll have to reluctantly accept."

In fact, Zhang Wen was so happy inside he could almost jump up.
