Chapter 648: Markkula's Supply Problem
The interception test is over here. In the headquarters, there is a live broadcast of high-speed video equipment. Looking at the scene in front of them, especially the people in the Second Artillery Force, they understand very well what the maturity of laser weapons means. For them, it means something.
How big.
Xu Ziling had no intention of satisfying other people's curiosity, nor did he want this thing to spread too quickly now, so he did not return to the camp, said hello to Fan Yi and Zhu Gang, and went back to the base directly.
After the exercise was over, Zhu Gang certainly wouldn't stay for too long. Xu Ziling and the others returned to the base, and he came back. Knowing that Xu Ziling and the others had other matters to go to, he immediately contacted the transport plane of the military region and took their
The armored vehicle returns to Star City.
In the afternoon, the transport plane took off from Lijian Airport. Xu Ziling also received a notice from Fan Yi, telling them an address and asking them to go there on their own.
I checked on the map and found that this address was also in the northwest region, and it wasn't too far from Lijian. It was too troublesome to drive, so I simply asked Lao Bai to send them there.
Xu Ziling did not dare to stay too long in a place where veteran experts gathered, and he was very careful about what he said. He stayed in the research institute code-named 301 for one night and learned about the entire project, and he left the next day.
"I already understand the structure of the project. It's not much use staying here. I will come up with a solution as soon as possible." Fan Yi was still in the Northwest Military Region and had not come over. Before leaving, Xu Ziling explained to him this way
.
Knowing that he didn't like to stay in research institutions other than military factories, Fan Yi didn't force him, "Okay, if you can help with the project, you can help. If you go to Markkula from now on, you won't be like that."
It’s convenient.”
Hearing these unreasonable words, Xu Ziling's face twitched a few times, but in the end he did not dare to say anything.
There is no other way, who would let someone be a general?
301 is closer to the city than Bijian. The few of them did not go back to the base. They went directly to the nearest city, took the train, went to Lanzhou, and then took a civil aviation flight back to Star City.
As soon as he returned to Star City, the first thing he did was to find a reliable shipping channel for the three armored vehicles and related equipment and send them to Markkula.
"How many people have you gathered together in the past few months?"
"Two hundred and thirty-five people." Yang Kaiming answered immediately.
"Let them go with the ship this time, just in time to escort the cargo."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
These hundreds of people have been recruited one after another in the past few months. Some have just retired this year, and some have been retired for several years. During this period, they have more or less been trained in the military factory for a period of time.
Everything has almost returned to its previous state, and on Markkula's side, the infrastructure project will be completed in half a month, so it's time for them to go there.
The delivery channel is the most reliable, but it has to pass through the Strait of Malacca and the North Indian Ocean on the way. These areas are infested with pirates. It is better to add insurance. Going with the ship can be regarded as their first mission.
Three days later, a group of people and their goods were on board a ship in China Shipping, starting a new chapter of their lives. Xu Ziling, the old god, was sitting in the office, listening to Gu Hongyuan's report through a video conversation.
"In the past, the people from Haijian for the port construction directly contacted people in China. I didn't know some things. Now that I am responsible for the construction of our own factory, I understand how poor this country is. A salary of five US dollars a day, and countless people are rushing to get it."
Come on, boss, you don’t know yet. When the recruitment was open, a lot of people were holding
They came over with guns. At that time, we thought there was a riot. Unexpectedly, these guys waved their guns and kept shouting. In addition to hiring them, they can also help protect factory safety. What do you think this country is?
What's wrong?" After finishing talking about the business, Gu Hongyuan started talking to Xu Ziling about some gossip.
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Ziling asked in surprise, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
"Such a big mistake, I didn't have the nerve to say it at the time, but now it's over, it doesn't matter anymore." Gu Hongyuan said matter-of-factly, and Xu Ziling hesitated and almost choked.
Knowing that this guy was thick-skinned, he didn't bother to say anything to him, "What did you do in the end?"
"What else can we do? Anyway, we just need people, so just keep them. I asked and found out that they are all tribal peoples within a hundred kilometers. Either there are too many people in the family, or the harvest this year is not good, or that
A small tribe member is often robbed by bandits. According to what you said, give him every day
They provide a meal of rice and some daily medicines. Do you know what they usually do? Most of the boys who are 1.5 meters tall can run around with two bags of cement on their backs... They are simply desperate to do things. I understand.
After a moment, they worked so hard just to avoid being fired, alas..."
…
Listening to Gu Hongyuan's somewhat emotional words, Xu Ziling also felt something in his heart, but he also knew that there are poor people in any country, but here in Nitan, poor people make up the majority, but so what?
He is not an angel, nor is he God. He can only give them some help within his ability. With so many people in the world, it is impossible for him to take care of them one by one. Besides, the poverty problem in his country has not been solved yet, so he cannot blindly take care of them.
to help people in other countries get rid of poverty and become rich.
Of course, he is not the kind of bloody capitalist who only exploits others. After thinking about it, he told Gu Hongyuan: "Try to relax a little and don't be too harsh. I will send some technicians over in the next two days. You choose some suitable people. Right
They conduct training. If the factory is to be put into production, it will definitely need a lot of people. It is impossible for all of these people to be drawn from China."
He has had this idea for a long time. Looking at countless companies and overseas factories, they usually only use domestic people at the top or middle managers. Front-line workers and lower-level managers will all be hired locally, but they
We have just started, and this needs a process to be perfected. Before, the infrastructure project of the factory area was not completed, and there was no place for training, so we did not do this. Now that the construction of the factory area is almost complete, these things should be done.
"Okay, the preliminary work is no problem. We also have a lot of highly educated people in our team. They can manage it casually. But if there are more people, it will definitely not be able to cope with it. I think we need to send a manager here."
"I will consider this issue."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Ziling fell into thinking, not about factory personnel, but about daily supplies.
Nitan is a well-known poor country in the world. Not to mention the industrial base, which can be said to be in its infancy, the agricultural system is also extremely underdeveloped. More than 70% of the country's food is imported, and vegetables are extremely expensive.
, he also stayed in Markkula for a while, also
Knowing that the base would go to the local city for procurement every three or two days, he happened to meet him one time. He asked casually and got a shocking result: Beef sold for 2 US dollars per pound, but eggplant cost 3 US dollars.
Per pound, this price is completely opposite to that in China.
There are so many people in the military factory and the port. What to do with supplies? If everything is imported or purchased, how much of an expense will it be? Isn’t the expenditure of the military factory more than the labor wages?
Thinking of this, he immediately called Fan Yu: "Are you familiar with any agricultural experts?"
"Why are you looking for an agricultural expert?" Military industry and agriculture are really two completely unrelated industries. Fan Yu really didn't understand why Xu Ziling suddenly asked the agricultural expert.
"You are stupid. In a few months, we will be working in Africa. If we want to eat rice, we have to import it. If we want to eat cabbage, we have to import it. If we want to eat dumplings, there are no leeks to make stuffing. We have to wait.
It will be flown over, you can wait."
…
Unexpectedly, Xu Ziling would have such a reason. Fan Yu was stunned for a long time before she realized that if she wanted to take root in Markkula, the cost of living would be a big problem.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I have a friend whose father is from the Ministry of Agriculture. Let me ask you."
"Okay, you can help me ask, what kind of vegetables are suitable for growing in Makula, can I grow rice? And can you help me find some experts in related fields? In the past, people had an annual salary of one million, and their comings and goings, and accommodation expenses were all made by
The company is responsible." At least he has to stay in Africa for several years. In order to be able to eat fresh vegetables at any time, Xu Ziling feels it is necessary to open up the military factory's own agricultural base. Not to mention making a profit, it is good to be self-sufficient.
.
"OK."
Fan Yu hung up the phone and immediately contacted her friend.
They say they are friends, but they are actually her high school classmates. Her father is a deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. Because they live in the same city, and because of other reasons that are not in common with outsiders, the two of them can see each other often, but she is also
She didn't want to contact this "friend" because she didn't want to tell anyone about it, but Xu Ziling had some serious business, and she only had one acquaintance in agriculture, so she had no choice but to dial the number that had always been on her phone.
.
"Xiaoyu, why did you call me today?" The phone was connected, and a man's surprised voice came from the other party.
Fan Yu frowned slightly, obviously she had some objections to the name "Xiao Yu", but for some unknown reason, she didn't say anything in the end, and didn't say much to him. She said directly: "Zhao Zheng, uncle is still in agriculture."
Come on, do me a favor."
When I heard that he was asked to help, Zhao Zheng was on the other end of the phone, like a pug, nodding his head and saying with a smile: "What do you mean? I will definitely help you get it done."
Over the years, Fan Yu had long been accustomed to Zhao Zheng's appearance. She was too lazy to be polite to him and told her what Xu Ziling had told her. At the end, she did not forget to say: "This thing shouldn't be difficult, right? Qian
