The reception luncheon held by Jiangnan Group and all walks of life in Lao Nanchang was unprecedented. Banners were hung high inside and outside the hotel, lanterns were decorated, more than 30 large tables were served with exquisite dishes, and the atmosphere was warm. The distinctive traditional dishes of Lao Nanchang and several Sichuan dishes were
The famous dishes are paired together, and in the middle is our signature dish, herbal stewed mutton hot pot, which is fragrant and extremely nutritious.
The entire welcome ceremony was extremely concise, highlighting the characteristics of old Nanchang as an emerging industrial base. It was presided over by group manager Zhou Chongan, and the respected chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Zhou Dashan gave a welcome speech. The Nanchang County Magistrate presented gifts, and finally the battle-hardened Jiang Dingwen
The whole process of giving a speech of thanks took less than twenty minutes, of which the excited Jiang Dingwen's enthusiastic speech of thanks took up ten minutes.
When the applause stopped, Jiang Dingwen, Yu Jishi and He Zhonghan were welcomed to the main table. Jiang Dingwen sat next to his long-lost brother Lao Shoudao, thanking the representatives from all walks of life at the table and greeting them with a smile.
An Yi and Yin Jinan sat at the same table with Kang Ze, Deng Wenyi, Lu Yixuan, Zhao Rui and others. When they saw that none of the brothers raised their glasses, they knew that they had reached a consensus. An Yi said that he would drink a glass no matter what.
Come back and drink the wine, everyone can finish it as they please.
The brothers were dubious, but couldn't resist An Yi and Yin Jinan's enthusiasm, so they reluctantly drank it. It turned out that An Yi and Yin Jinan kept their word and did not force it. They told everyone that they could drink but not eat.
Apart from the elders who came to toast, An Yi also drank very little like everyone else. He didn't refuse to drink or agree like he did at last night's dinner. Only then did everyone really feel relieved.
After having had enough wine and food, and finished their fragrant tea and fruits, the group headed to the military uniform factory to visit. They saw three tall workshops tens of meters long and more than ten meters wide, all filled with neat rows of machines and lathes.
Every process was carried out in an orderly assembly line. The members of the inspection team were amazed. They all said that this factory must have at least two thousand people, right? The accompanying factory director proudly replied: There are 3,500 people, not only producing military uniforms, but also producing military uniforms.
Civilian work clothes and standard tunic suits will be launched soon. Sportswear that students like to wear and various school bags, satchels, etc. will be launched soon.
Jiang Dingwen and others finally saw the production process of winter camouflage combat uniforms. Several enthusiastic generals even took off their clothes to try them on themselves. After they finished, they sighed and said: It is so convenient, warm, strong and durable!
An hour later, the inspection team arrived at the agricultural machinery factory that produces engineer shovels, military kettles and other military supplies. After walking half a circle in the noisy factory area, they discovered that the agricultural machinery factory with an ordinary name was not mainly engaged in the production of agricultural machinery at all.
, this large-scale factory located three kilometers southeast of the city covers an area of more than 800 acres. It is divided into an agricultural machinery branch, a casting branch, a mechanical processing branch, a hardware branch, a component factory, and a half-built factory supervised by German engineers.
Bearing branch factory, etc. Each of these branch factories with advanced equipment and leading technology will be impressive when taken alone. They are all gathered together under the sign of "Agricultural Machinery Factory", which immediately made the members of the inspection team realize that there must be something fishy.
.
Sure enough, everyone walked into the heavily guarded gate of the branch factory and saw the new general-purpose machine tools for ordnance maintenance being manufactured by the mechanical processing branch. They saw rows of semi-finished gun bolts and other weapon accessories neatly placed on the workbench of the third workshop of the foundry branch.
After that, I finally understood the true meaning of this "agricultural machinery factory".
Under the strong request of everyone, An Yi finally explained to everyone in detail: "Don't be surprised, you have just seen the production of some products, and many people have also touched engineering shovels, engineering special fasteners, and gun repair machine tools.
and gun bolts and other products, I guess I have a preliminary impression.
Our factory has received huge investment from two major chaebols, Mr. Kong and Mr. Ou, and should be among the top three in the country in terms of scale. With two more years of development, it is very likely to surpass Fengtian Machinery Factory, which is known as the number one in the country, in terms of equipment and technology.
But it is much more advanced than Fengtian Factory.
You may not have noticed that in fact, each workshop has one or two technicians from Europe under the guidance. The workshop director and branch director are experienced experts in the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Basin. Most of the workers graduated from industrial schools in the five surrounding provinces.
Or the Polytechnic School, but they are wearing the same dark blue work clothes and it is difficult to distinguish them. Their positions are written on the name tags on their left chests in different colors, which is similar to the hierarchy of our military's existing name tags."
The brothers took a closer look around and saw these neglected situations. They couldn't help but admire in a low voice. An Yi continued:
"Perhaps you are all attracted by the products and have ignored it. Many of the workers sitting around the processing table were once brothers of the independent division of the younger brother. Their legs are disabled. When I entered the door just now, Senior Brother Yu asked me why there are so many
Are there only wheelchairs for disabled people in hospitals? In fact, these wheelchairs belong to these brothers. Thanks to the provident fund system of the independent division, these brothers have their own houses after they come back alive. Many of them have married wives, and they have five oceans a month.
The minimum living allowance was paid, but they were unwilling to stay at home. After the factory opened, many brothers went to the younger brother's home and told the younger brother that they had to work for no wages. They did not want to stay at home like useless people and wanted to do something for our army and people.
.
Although the younger brother refused many times, more and more people came to intercede. I had no choice but to agree. I let the brothers enter various workshops according to their hobbies and requirements. I told the factory director and directors in private that these old brothers could
You can come as soon as you come, there is no need for assessment, and the treatment is the same as that of ordinary workers. At the annual meeting at the end of last year, the factory directors told me that none of the 135 disabled old brothers in the factory had ever been absent from work.
Even if they are sick or go to the hospital for review, they will ask their mothers-in-law or neighbors to come and ask for leave first. The more than fifty foreign engineers and technicians in the entire agricultural machinery factory all gave a thumbs up and said to the younger brother with admiration: An, your
The factory will definitely take off because you have the best workers. My brother replied: Not only do we have the best workers, we also have the best people, and we have the virtues of diligence, kindness and perseverance that have been passed down by the Chinese nation for thousands of years."
Everyone was deeply moved after hearing this, and even an old man like Jiang Dingwen sighed frequently. Only He Zhonghan felt that this was probably An Yi's trick to use the topic, but everyone around him sighed and was deeply touched. He Zhonghan was too embarrassed to publicly question An Yi's ulterior motives.
I could only lower my head and follow everyone to the next workshop where new helmets and military water bottles are produced.
After watching the mechanical forging, cooling and shaping, curling, painting and high-temperature baking and other production processes, everyone was fascinated and lingered.
When they arrived at the noisy assembly workshop, everyone immediately vented their dissatisfaction. They all said that it was no wonder that the security force officers in black military uniforms all over the street were wearing steel helmets. It turned out that they were not imported from Germany but were imported by themselves.
They all asked An Yi why he didn't provide it to all the troops? Why did he only produce black helmets for the security forces and white helmets for the military police?
For a time, the scene was bustling and excited, frightening nearly a hundred female workers who were installing helmet linings and packaging finished products.
An Yi quickly called everyone out of the workshop and explained them one by one in the open space: "Please listen to me, don't accuse me wrongly. This production line has just been officially put into production for a month. It was previously produced according to the original m17 mold of the German army."
Later, I asked Dr. Kruse, the deputy director of the hospital, to lead a team of ten people and spend half a month measuring the heads of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Third Army and Security Forces. After calculating the accurate data, they immediately handed it over to
The business partners of the German foreign companies then customized a complete set of molds from Germany that met the standard specifications of our Chinese heads. After trial production and inspection, they were officially finalized and put into mass production.
The helmets you see on the street are all the styles used by the German army in the last world war. They are all trial-production gadgets. They are okay for temporary use and will soon be eliminated. The ones currently in production are
It is what we need. The style remains the same and the overall shape remains the same, but there have been significant improvements in size, curvature and depth.
Secondly, do you know where the plates for making helmets come from? Or do you have to rely on others, or do they have to be shipped from Germany to produce them? Can you tell me, how long does this process take? I don’t think about how much it cost me.
Hard work, brother, is it easy?
Besides, now that the military budget of each army is tight, and even basic clothing cannot be guaranteed, how many troops are willing to spend money to equip new helmets? If the little brother makes noise all over the world, isn't he asking for trouble? "
Seeing An Yi's extremely aggrieved look, everyone did not dare to scold anymore. Jiang Dingwen stepped forward and patted An Yi's arm to express comfort: "Everyone, what Xiao Yi said makes sense! We shouldn't express random opinions without clarifying it.
I'm ashamed... I've given you a hard time, Xiaoyi. Now that things are clear, how can we dare to complain again? Very good, very good! Let's do this. Later, you will give everyone one according to the shape of each of our heads.
As a souvenir, the black one will be black. I will have a good talk with you tonight. The requirements are not high. My first division must be equipped first. I won’t talk about the price. You can figure it out. Anyway, everyone knows it.
You An Yi is such a person that you will not enrich the country without conscience, I am very relieved!"
Everyone agreed in unison, then looked at each other and laughed. An Yi shook his head helplessly and continued to lead everyone to visit the military kettle production workshop. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Dingwen and others thanked Zhou Chongan and other managers and factory directors again and again at the gate of the agricultural machinery factory, politely declined the hosts' repeated attempts to stay, said goodbye politely, got into the car, led the inspection team directly into the recruitment office, and made a speech to more than a hundred officers and soldiers led by Huang Yingwu.
After giving a passionate speech, in the name of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, he solemnly issued a check for three thousand yuan to Huang Yingwu, walked around for a while and then returned to Nanchang City. Because after dinner, Jiang Dingwen was going to host a congratulatory ceremony for Zhonghan and Yu Jishi.
, Kang Ze and Director Liu of the Military Supplies Department of the General Headquarters attended a small meeting to convey Commander-in-Chief Chiang’s instructions to An Yi and solicit his opinions.
Jiang Dingwen is worthy of being an old man who has been involved in official circles for a long time. He was extremely active during the entire dinner, toasting everywhere and praising the various factories he visited during the day. The more he talked, the more excited he became, as if all the factories were owned by the country and its own army.
But he himself was able to drink very little through various opportunistic methods. Anyway, most of the people in the inspection team did not need to attend the small meeting in the evening. All they could drink was public money, so why not?
Jiang Dingwen never let go of such a generous opportunity, and he hosted it with ease. As a result, everyone was happily drinking wine and their faces were all glowing. In addition, the daytime visit really opened everyone's eyes.
Harvest, after a heated discussion, everyone regarded the industrial achievements of old Nanchang as the achievements of their own country and their own army. An Yi felt helpless, but very moved, knowing that these guys did not regard themselves as outsiders.
I still think that I am one of them and will go out to lead troops to fight.
After drinking the wine, the brothers went to Jiangnan Nightclub again. Under the urging of Jiang Dingwen, An Yi ordered Lin Yaodong, Chen Mian and manager Xu Yichen to accompany the brothers and try to meet any requirements. They must let the brothers have a good time, otherwise tomorrow
Once they leave, many brothers rarely have the opportunity to come back and enjoy it.
Jiang Dingwen and others left the nightclub and walked into the lobby, surrounded by An Yi. An Yi suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice: "Brother, Instructor Liu, fellow seniors, why didn't anyone ask to visit the most important arsenal under my command today?"
Jiang Dingwen suddenly realized it and slapped his forehead repeatedly to say he was confused. Yu Jishi laughed and said: "My younger brother reminded me again and again during breakfast and lunch. Everyone also said that after seeing the recruitment office, they would go to the arsenal. Later, the time passed too fast and everyone squeezed into the car. My younger brother
I thought Brother Mingsan had other plans."
Seeing Jiang Dingwen's remorseful look, An Yi smiled and comforted him: "It's okay. Let's do it next time. Anyway, Nanjing is very close to Nanchang, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"No, Xiaoyi, brother, before I came here, Mr. Yu specifically told me to take a look at the arsenal. We will take a boat back to Nanjing at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If we don't go and take a look, we won't be able to deliver the goods!" Major General Liu Guanghua, Director of Munitions, was very anxious.
.
Yu Jishi turned to An Yi: "The principal also asked Brother Yu to take a closer look at the arsenal and report to him in detail when he returns, so Junior Brother will take us there as soon as possible."
An Yi seemed to be in a dilemma: "It's time... Although my little brother's arsenal operates three shifts, but..."
"But what? Why don't you arrange a car quickly? You can go back and forth in the blink of an eye for more than ten kilometers. It happens that there are not many people and we can keep it secret. Go quickly! Otherwise, if I don't know anything when I go back, I won't be scolded by the principal?" Jiang Dingwenting?
in a hurry.
Three hours later, two cars slowly drove from the east gate of the arsenal covered with green trees into the back gate of the Central Jiangxi Security Headquarters, passed through the well-equipped barracks of the headquarters, exited the tall camp gate, and drove to the west avenue of Old Nanchang City.
Turn directly into the city at the crossroads and soon stop in front of the brightly lit old Sichuan Tavern by the Chengbi Lake.
Jiang Dingwen and others who were having a heated conversation in the car had not yet been freed from the many surprises in the arsenal. An Yi, who was driving, had already got out of the car. Jiang Dingwen, Liu Guanghua and others in the car quickly asked what was going on? Suddenly they saw Yang Bin and Zhan Huanqi.
, Gu Changfeng, Xia Jian, Hu Jialin, Ding Zhicheng and other familiar good brothers stood outside the car with smiles on their faces, immediately opened the car door and got out to greet them.
Yang Bin held Jiang Dingwen's hand and shouted, "Thank you for your hard work, senior brother. I and Huanqi just came back from the Fengcheng Security Group and almost didn't see each other." Hu Jialin walked up to Liu Guanghua and laughed heartily and said, "Old Liu, we meet again.
When I was teaching students to ride horses in Huangpu, I went to Brother Liu's Military Supplies Department to get military supplies and was taken care of every time. Among the bosses in the school, only Brother Liu and my younger brother can talk about it!"
Yu Jishi and He Zhonghan had just gotten out of the car at the back. Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian greeted them enthusiastically and saluted and reported. Xia Jian said that his subordinates had just come back from inspecting work in the county and were sorry; Gu Changfeng said that their subordinates had just come back to inspect the work in the county.
I had just completed the mission of suppressing bandits in Northeastern Jiangxi. When I heard that the big brothers were coming, I immediately rushed back from Shangrao with Lao Ding without stopping, and finally saw them...
A group of people were happily greeting each other at the door. Lao Shoudao suddenly came out of the hotel and stood at the door and said loudly: "Ming San, it's cold outside. Come in and have a glass of wine to warm up..."
