Chapter 729: Complete Merits
The silent silence underwater is the most unbearable, and now, the ubiquitous noise underwater can make people collapse even more.
"Baga, I can't stand it anymore!" A submariner shouted loudly, then picked up a table knife that he had already held in his hand and stabbed himself in the stomach.
"Damn it! Xiaoquan, what are you doing? Don't hurt everyone!" Before Komakijiko finished speaking, the nauseating smell of blood spread.
In a submarine, there is no need to equip firearms. After all, it is too difficult for outsiders to invade the submarine. Only the captain and those who maintain discipline in the submarine are equipped with guns. Even if the rest have guns, they are usually locked inside. The guns in the gun depot are only equipped when they are on guard duty ashore. For submariners, a steel gun is far less important than a pair of clean socks without odor.
And now, in this situation, someone can no longer hold on and wants to commit suicide in despair, so he can only choose a tool like a table knife. He also wants to draw a standard cross on his stomach, but unfortunately the table knife is not powerful. He couldn't stab himself with this knife, but could only cause himself more pain. In this pain, he suddenly regretted it. He stood up and wanted to find the medical kit. People along the way were a little frightened. Smelling the blood in the air, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled.
boom!
Komaki Second Son fired, and the guy named Xiao Inu was shot in the head, which exploded. Brains and blood spurted out to all sides, and more people started to vomit.
The air in the cabin smells even worse.
“Everyone, please don’t move and wait for rescue. If anyone is thirsty, you can drink a few mouthfuls of blood.” Komaki Second Son said.
His voice was covered by the sound of electric saws, and I didn’t know if anyone heard it. It was just that there seemed to be some special sounds in the darkness.
Time was still passing by little by little. I don’t know how long it had passed, but everyone had fallen asleep. They were not really asleep, but because of lack of oxygen. At this moment, there was a sudden banging sound, Then there was a creaking sound, and the front hatch was opened!
In the cabin at the rear of the Jiaolong that was specially designed for rescuing people, there was one more person on board this time. It was Takegami Futuguchi, an officer of the Japanese navy. When the cabin door opened, he originally wanted to get out, but he smelled something like that inside. The strange taste made his stomach churn.
This is not just the smell of feet and sweat, but also the smell of urine, feces, and blood. What exactly has been experienced here.
“Hey, is there anyone alive down there? Come up quickly!”
The second son of Xiaojuan stood up: "Yes! I'll go first!"
As a captain, you usually want to stay at the end. However, Komaki Second Son has long since lost the courage. He just wants to be the first to leave, and get out of this hellish place!
Other people also woke up and began to use their last strength to crawl. Some were even squeezed down. The scene was very chaotic.
“Damn it, where is your captain?” Takegami Futakuchi was annoyed.
"That's me." said the second son of Komaki who had already got into the rescue cabin: "Thank you to our great American friends for rescuing us."
On the mother ship.
"Dear audience friends, I will send you first-hand information at the scene. At present, the Jiaolong is about to come out of the water, and we will usher in the first batch of underwater survivors. Let us witness this great moment together. With the help of our Dongfang Mingzhou Group, the submarine soldiers of the island country were finally rescued!"
The wet Jiaolong came up. There were several helicopters circling around, and there were also media shots above. However, their positions were incomparable to Zhang Zhong. This time, Zhang Zhong once again stole the show and won the first prize. According to first-hand information, Zhang Zhong said that the program was even broadcast on the military channel at any time. After all, this matter attracted global attention.
The Jiaolong landed on the deck, the hatch opened, and right in front of the camera, a lost island man came down, staggering and unsteady, his clothes were dirty and stained with blood!
“We are very strange. We don’t know what happened underwater. We can only see blood on this man’s clothes. Now, let’s go up and interview him.”
“Excuse me, sir, how do you feel when you see the blue sky again?”
The dull eyes rolled around, as if they wanted to say something, but seemed unable to say anything.
“Excuse me, what’s with the blood on your clothes? Is anyone injured underwater?”
“The puppy committed suicide.” The man said, “I just want to rest now.”
“Baga, you Orientals are not allowed to interview us!” After Xiao Juan’s second son came down and saw this scene, he immediately shouted.
“Why? We saved you.”
"You? How is it possible? The one who saved us is the most powerful U.S. Navy!"
"Omaki-kun, this is broadcast live around the world." Moriyama Nohito came up, supported Komaki's second son, and whispered to him: "The person who saved you this time is indeed an Oriental."
“Baga, we don’t need the rescue from the Orientals, we don’t need the rescue from the Orientals!” Xiao Juan’s second son had a bad temper.
He didn’t know how big a disturbance these words would cause.
From now on, don’t rescue islanders after they get into trouble, because these people are white-eyed wolves and they won’t be grateful!
They will be grateful if Americans save them, because they regard themselves as the sons of Americans. However, they will not have this attitude towards Easterners. They still have the same ideas as they did decades ago!
"This guy can't control his emotions and is not a qualified captain." Qin Tao in Qiongzhou sighed: "And, where are his men who were the first ones to come up? He actually abandoned his men and went on his own first Come up, Xiaojuan Second Son, well, that’s a good name, but it’s just a small roll of toilet paper.”
"Even if we only rescue this group, we have accomplished our merits." Wu Shengli said: "This rescue operation has achieved a complete success, and the whole world will see the glorious side of Mingzhou Group. You are famous again." Another benefit."
"These are all secondary and just clouds. The key is that our navy has got good things." Qin Tao said: "By the way, it's time for our cyber warfare troops to stop and erase all traces. Don’t let the other party see the clues.”
Wu Shengli nodded: "We have already withdrawn. We will close it when we are ready."
"This matter is finally over. Next, we should leave." Qin Tao said: "Now that we have arrived in Qiongzhou, I want to take Xiaoling to Shuangsha Island for vacation. Dad, will you go with us?"
As a boss, Qin Tao is very busy, but no matter how busy he is, he must not ignore his wife's feelings. Unconsciously, he has been working continuously for a long time, and it is time to relax for a while.
Wu Shengli shook his head: "It's not the holiday yet. Why should I go on vacation? The Navy still has many things waiting for me, especially the maritime parade. We have already pushed forward it, and we must continue to push it forward to let the superior leaders Take it seriously.”
Qin Tao originally proposed the naval parade, but he passed it after he proposed it. After all, he was not from the navy and there was no need to get involved with the navy. At this time, when he heard what Wu Shengli said, Qin Tao followed suit. He nodded: "Well, Dad, you're busy, I'll just take Xiaoling there."
"Brother Tao, don't always think about traveling. There are still many things in our group. Recently, a drone using the AI-222 engine is about to fly for the first time. Don't you always pay attention to it? Drone? Do you want to participate?"
"Drones? Yunma Factory is not Shuangyang Factory. They operate independently and have nothing to do with us. Even if Goose Factory provides them with some help and they use our engines, they are also independent." Qin Tao didn't pay too much attention to this matter. It was just a drone. It was not worth the hassle. It was more important to go on vacation and balance work and rest.
"The first flight of this drone was fully automatic and controlled without any human intervention." Zhao Ling said: "Moreover, they also made a request to us, hoping to go to the carrier-based aircraft training base, or even 001 Tested on an aircraft carrier, this UAV can meet the needs of the carrier."
“What?” Now it was Wu Shengli’s turn to be surprised: “Their drones are actually so mature? It seems like I have to go take a look.”
The maturity of these technologies has little to do with Shuangyang Factory. Shuangyang Factory is only responsible for modifying turbojet engines. The automatic driving function was developed by Goose Factory. This is why Zhao Ling hopes Qin Tao can go over and take a look.
Over the years, the Goose Factory has developed rapidly and has become a high-tech enterprise under the Mingzhou Group. This change makes Qin Tao sigh. As expected, the development of an enterprise still depends on the style of its leaders. ah.
“Okay, let’s go over and have a look.” Qin Tao nodded in agreement. His wife is still a strong woman. She only has career in her eyes. She must support her. After all, no matter where she goes, she is a husband and wife together.
"However, there is no need to worry." Zhao Ling said: "The first flight is scheduled for tomorrow. We still have time this afternoon. If you want to do some activities, you can go to the Qiongzhou Automobile Factory to have a look. It is just in time for the development of our electric vehicles. Learn from the experience.”
Qin Tao smiled helplessly. If you want to be a strong woman, you will arrange errands for me. Can't we rest in the afternoon and have a happy afternoon?
Qin Tao could only turn his mind back to his work, and soon thought of something: "What our Golden Sun Automobile currently lacks is a birth certificate. This Qiongzhou Automobile Factory does not have a birth certificate, right? What's the point of us going there to inspect?" "
"Yes, they don't have birth certificates, and the cars they produce can only be used in Qiongzhou. However, they have also developed from scratch, and it has only been in the past ten years. Therefore, their experience has great reference significance. Geshan, since you have this opportunity, you might as well go and have a look."
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Qin Tao nodded.
There are some differences between Qiongzhou and other places. For example, it is a province composed of islands. Therefore, when the country decided to develop its economy, it had unique conditions. In 1988, it became a special economic zone. At the same time, The province decided to implement the key project of the "Eighth Five-Year Plan": Qiongzhou Automobile Stamping Parts Factory.
In the past, both Old Shanghai and Old Hongqi were hammered out bit by bit by workers. However, this manufacturing method is too backward and cannot be mass-produced at all. The accuracy is still very poor. When it is introduced to the public, After that, the country saw advanced automobile production technology and began to transform rapidly.
Qiongzhou saw this business opportunity and set up an automobile stamping parts factory to provide supporting equipment for other domestic automobile factories. Qiongzhou Automobile Factory also developed from this stamping parts factory.
The arrival of Qin Tao and his entourage was welcomed by everyone in the automobile factory. Director Jing stood at the gate of the factory and personally welcomed the arrival of Qin Tao and his entourage.
"Mr. Qin, I heard that you were on vacation in Qiongzhou recently. We have invited you several times. Today you finally came. On behalf of the 700 employees of the automobile factory, I welcome you." Director Jing said enthusiastically.
“Seven hundred?” Qin Tao was a little curious: “Does your car factory need more than 700 employees?”
Hearing Qin Tao's question, Director Jing was a little embarrassed: "Yes, Mr. Qin, our factory's annual output is only a few hundred vehicles, which is incomparable to that kind of large automobile factory."
“Yeah, it’s too difficult to start something from scratch.” Qin Tao and Director Jing said as they walked in, “Can you tell me how your production line came about?”
“Mr. Qin, the acquisition of our production line is quite special. We bought it.”
“Bought?” Qin Tao was very curious.
The car production line is not a big deal, so can you just buy it? Internationally, even if large automobile manufacturers are short of money, they cannot just sell their production lines.
"This is an opportunity we seized." Director Jing said: "In 1988, we learned that the current situation in Malaysia was turbulent and the factory jointly owned by the President of Malaysia and Ford Motor Company went bankrupt, so we took action decisively. We bought a complete set of production equipment from them, which is equivalent to moving their automobile production line directly here, so we suddenly have a professional automobile production line."
Qin Tao's eyes lit up: "You have seized this opportunity well."
"Yes, when we saw the opportunity, we immediately took action. However, with a production line, it is not possible to produce cars. This also requires a large number of supporting factories. We have been doing this from 1988 to 1993. We started working hard and introduced Western automatic welding and painting process production lines. By the end of 1993, we were truly capable of production."
Qin Tao nodded. This is not just about building a car factory, but also building an automotive supporting industry chain. In this industrial zone, a car production base has been formed.
This method is good, and we can learn from it. In the future, we will have to build an electric vehicle industry chain in Huating. However, we do not intend to build a complete set. We only need to invite bids and let other companies provide supporting equipment.
"However, we only have a production line and no products. In 1990, the president of Mazda came to us for an event. After the event, he came to visit our car factory. After that, we reached an agreement with Mazda to use our production line. , to produce Mazda cars.”
Qiongzhou Automobile Factory has finally made all the preparations for production and officially started production. Due to the introduction of Mazda as a partner, a full set of molds, fixtures and other equipment for related vehicles can be imported from Mazda. Just like that, Qiongzhou The history of the automobile factory's joint venture with Mazda.
In addition to producing Mazda station wagons, it also produces vans, cars, etc. Some of these vehicles are even equipped with automatic transmissions and have advanced performance.
"Unfortunately, we do not have a birth certificate, so so far, the cars we produce can only be sold in Qiongzhou and cannot be expanded to the whole country. Although we can produce hundreds of cars every year, we now have more than 600 million in debt, almost It's on the verge of bankruptcy." When he said this, everyone had already reached the door of the factory. Inside, the production line was still running, producing the most advanced Mazda station wagon. However, the car factory was on the verge of bankruptcy. This was still It's really touching.
“Our country is developing and there are still many systems that are not perfect. This birth certificate issue will definitely be solved in the future,” Qin Tao said.
This is the difference between a mother-in-law and a stepmother. Those state-owned car factories with long experience require state subsidies every year. It often costs tens of billions to develop a car. They don’t want to make progress, and they don’t have to worry about running out of food. However, the new automobile companies are struggling hard because they do not have birth certificates, but they are still on the verge of bankruptcy.
This situation does not only occur in the automobile factories in front of us. Several well-known domestic automobile factories are struggling for this birth certificate. They are optimistic about the automobile market, but unfortunately the country does not support it.
"Mr. Qin, our production line is very advanced. If you want to enter the automobile industry, you can acquire our company and become a subsidiary of Mingzhou Group." Director Jing said.
Zhao Ling suggested that Qin Tao come here to inspect because she had been invited here several times, and the purpose of the invitation was very simple, which was to ask for help: they were going to go bankrupt, and the best way was to find a backer.
At present, Mingzhou Group is definitely the best-developed group in the country. It is not only the backbone of the military industry, but also very powerful in the civilian sector.
So, does Mingzhou Group have any ideas to get involved in the automobile industry? With the development of the national economy, cars will enter thousands of households, and more and more people will buy cars. This market has endless potential.
If Mingzhou Group can inject capital, then Qiongzhou Automobile Factory can move towards glory.
Hearing this proposal, Qin Tao was really tempted. After all, everything here was complete. If he bought this place, he wouldn't have to worry about it. He didn't want to bother, and Ma Ming didn't want to bother either.
However, Qin Tao is not optimistic about Qiongzhou. The industrial base here is not enough and the transportation here is not convenient. It is no problem to develop the rocket industry here. After all, this industry is not large and the quantity is small. However, if the automobile industry is to be developed, other Not to mention, the transportation cost alone is much higher than that of other automobile manufacturers.
You know, there has never been a cross-sea bridge in Qiongzhou, and you have to go back and forth by roll-on and roll-off ships. One year, tourists were stranded in Qiongzhou due to weather problems. For production, this is not just a few extra days. , if the raw materials cannot be transported in, then work will have to be stopped and production will take place.
That is not something we can afford.
Moving the entire automobile factory to Huating is almost enough. However, the Qiongzhou Automobile Factory is not a private enterprise. It is an industry strongly supported by the Qiongzhou government. How can it watch the Mingzhou Group directly buy the automobile factory?
So, don’t think about it.
When Qin Tao didn't answer, Director Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, we were too abrupt."
"At present, our Mingzhou Group has no idea of getting involved in the automobile industry. I'm very sorry, but our group still needs to study this acquisition project carefully. However, our group can buy ten of the cars you produce and keep five in Qiongzhou. Our rocket company serves as a bus, and five of them are sent to Shuangsha Island for the use of tourists on the island." Qin Tao said: "Besides us, do you have any other ideas?"
“We also plan to cooperate with FAW.” Director Jing said: “Currently our biggest problem is the lack of birth certificates, so we decided to save the country through a curve. By cooperating with FAW, we can obtain the birth certificates in the name of FAW.”
This is also a way for private car manufacturers to revive the dead. Since you don’t have a birth certificate, find someone who does!
Qin Tao shook his head.
“Mr. Qin, are you not optimistic about this method?” Director Jing asked curiously.
"Your method can solve the birth certificate problem, but it will encounter a bigger problem."
"what is the problem?"
“Let Mazda and FAW establish a relationship. When your cooperation period is over, do you think Mazda will continue to cooperate with you, or will it go directly to FAW?”
Director Jing’s face suddenly changed.
Without a birth certificate, it cannot be sold nationwide. The inability to sell nationwide means that the market is not big enough and the company cannot continue to develop. Therefore, the only way Qiongzhou Automobile Factory thought of to solve the problem was to find FAW and borrow the name of FAW to sell.
This can solve the sales problem, but no one thought that there was another trap waiting for them!
Just look at it from Mazda's perspective and you will understand. As long as it has a relationship with FAW, Mazda will definitely embrace FAW's lap. A large enterprise like FAW is a better choice for cooperation, and Mazda will definitely give it a try. Kick them away from the Qiongzhou Automobile Factory!
Although Qin Tao doesn't know much about the automobile industry, he has heard of FAW Mazda and Changan Mazda. According to national regulations, a foreign-funded automobile company can have a joint venture with two domestic companies at most. Since he has not heard of Qiongzhou Mazda, he must have been kicked out. Open, climb up the branches and become a phoenix.
Mazda kicked off the Qiongzhou Automobile Plant and sought direct cooperation with FAW. For them, it was a strong alliance, but what about the Qiongzhou Automobile Plant? This is definitely drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron! Based on Director Jing's understanding of FAW, this kind of thing is definitely possible.
“Mr. Qin, please give me some advice!” Director Jing looked serious.
