Chapter 197: Ace In The Hole Weapon
Li Muzhi arrived at the canteen.
Whether Border Region Arsenal workers or skilled workers from other arsenals.
All greeted him very respectfully and enthusiastically:
“Factory Director good.”
“Factory Director Li good.”
……
“Good, good, good, everyone good, everyone has worked hard.” Li Muzhi smiled in response.
He arrived at the serving window, and the serving lady scooped a full big spoonful of meat for Li Muzhi, but he returned half of it.
“Auntie, give me half vegetables, can’t just eat meat.” Li Muzhi said with a smile.
“Factory Director Li, Minister Zhang specifically instructed to give you more meat, look how thin you are.” The serving lady said with a beaming smile.
“Being a bit thin is healthy.” Li Muzhi insisted on half vegetables.
The serving lady had no choice but to agree with Li Muzhi and served half vegetables.
Liang Yuanze watched this scene and couldn’t help saying to Lao He: “Lao He, your Factory Director Li eats the same food as the workers, Minister Zhang didn’t arrange a special meal for him?”
Facing Liang Yuanze’s question, Lao He said seriously: “Look at our food, is there any difference from a special meal?”
“This, this, indeed no difference.” Liang Yuanze paused, the Border Region Arsenal food was indeed too good.
To put it unpleasantly, probably some arsenals’ special meals aren’t as good as their communal dining.
Lao He explained: “Previously, Minister Zhang indeed wanted to arrange a special meal for our factory director, because headquarters leader ordered Minister Zhang to take good care of our factory director’s food. Our factory director insisted on communal dining, Minister Zhang had no choice but to raise the communal dining standard to special meal standard.”
“Hahaha.” Liang Yuanze laughed upon hearing it, “Then Minister Zhang must have lost big?”
Minister Zhang was so stingy, raising communal dining standard would spread the cost much higher.
For Minister Zhang who would split one dollar into two, that would be asking for his old life.
Of course, Liang Yuanze’s view of Li Muzhi gained more admiration.
Insisting on communal dining with workers, forcing Minister Zhang to raise workers’ communal dining together.
No wonder workers respect him so much, it’s not just Li Muzhi’s military industry ability, but also personal charm.
Workers eat and drink well, their bodies are strong, military industry production naturally reaches peak production.
“Minister Zhang won’t lose, he’s much shrewder.” Lao He said.
On the surface, raising communal dining standard increases Minister Zhang’s logistics cost.
Workers eat well, bodies strong, direct meaning for military industry production is very big.
Produce more weapons and ammunition, quality also guaranteed.
Combat troops take produced weapons and ammunition for revenue generation, logistics pressure gets smaller and smaller.
Combat troops have captures, no need to rely on logistics support.
Liang Yuanze carried his meal and sat in front of Li Muzhi: “Factory Director Li, let me introduce myself, I’m Liang Yuanze, deputy factory director of Huangyadong Arsenal.”
“Deputy Factory Director Liang, hello.” Li Muzhi smiled in greeting.
“Factory Director Li, you’re really too polite, giving so much equipment to our Huangyadong Arsenal, I thank you on behalf of our Huangyadong Arsenal.” Liang Yuanze said sincerely.
“Deputy Factory Director Liang, we’re family to begin with, no need for thanks.” Li Muzhi laughed, “This is just the beginning, later if I have more unused equipment, I’ll also transfer it to you.”
“Haha.” Liang Yuanze laughed heartily, “Factory Director Li, your words make me feel really comfortable, then I’ll be waiting.”
Immediately after, Liang Yuanze asked curiously: “I just heard your workers discussing you’re making new type rockets, that can launch without cannon barrel?”
Border Region Arsenal just made shoulder-mounted cannon, that shocked people very much.
This shock just started, Li Muzhi here made new type rockets that don’t need cannon barrel, cannonballs can launch directly.
This couldn’t help but make Liang Yuanze sigh, this Factory Director Li’s energy and inspiration are too amazing.
“Deputy Factory Director Liang, when the new type rocket equipment can be obtained, if there’s excess equipment, I’ll also transfer to your Huangyadong Arsenal, let you produce such new type rockets too.” Li Muzhi said.
“Factory Director Li, you’re not joking?” Liang Yuanze shocked again.
Liang Yuanze could foresee, if Li Muzhi really makes self-flying rockets, no need for cannon barrel launch.
This must be Border Region Arsenal’s bottom-of-the-box weapon.
This bottom-of-the-box weapon, Border Region Arsenal directly shares with Huangyadong Arsenal?
This breadth of mind and vision is extraordinary.
“Deputy Factory Director Liang, I said, we’re family to begin with, family doesn’t joke.” Li Muzhi said solemnly.
Still that sentence, don’t put all eggs in one basket.
Once this new type rocket comes out, if Japanese invaders go mad, must let other arsenals produce this weapon as much as possible.
Then, this weapon blooms everywhere, can make Japanese invaders exhausted coping.
As for Liang Yuanze thinking this 107 rocket would be Border Region Arsenal’s bottom-of-the-box weapon, that doesn’t exist at all.
Mere 107 rocket, not qualified as bottom-of-the-box weapon.
Real bottom-of-the-box weapon still in Li Muzhi’s brain, waiting for conditions to mature.
“Haha, Factory Director Li, yes yes yes, you’re right, we’re family.” Liang Yuanze laughed heartily again, mood extremely cheerful.
He even couldn’t help sighing: “Ah, now I finally understand why Old Qi and them voluntarily stayed, if it were me, I…”
Liang Yuanze didn’t finish, realized wrong, immediately shut up.
Just arrived at Border Region Arsenal, already wavering.
If our Factory Director Xu knew, wouldn’t skin me alive.
Lao He smiled on the side: “Deputy Factory Director Liang, our Border Region Arsenal indeed short of manpower, if you…”
“Go go go, don’t talk nonsense!” Liang Yuanze cut off the topic.
He admits Border Region Arsenal has good prospects, good food, sufficient equipment, key is this Li factory director, this core figure has great personal charm, and knows how to make new stuff.
If can follow him, in the future… cough cough!
Why am I getting restless again.
I’m Huangyadong Arsenal’s deputy factory director!
Must lead by example.
Liang Yuanze carried his lunchbox and stood up, said to Li Muzhi: “Factory Director Li, my people’s eating manners not good, I’ll go manage them.”
Huangyadong Arsenal transportation team eating manners indeed not good.
One by one like starved ghosts reincarnated, after all never eaten such good food before, Liang Yuanze’s excuse was very good.
Liang Yuanze stood and left, Lao He smiled to Li Muzhi: “Factory Director, I think we can try to win over this Deputy Factory Director Liang.”
“Is our Border Region Arsenal short of management personnel?” Li Muzhi asked Lao He.
In management, Li Muzhi basically doesn’t handle, all handed to Lao He and other management personnel.
“Family business getting bigger, management personnel shortage definitely big.” Lao He nodded.
Lao He’s meaning is, now not so short, but later definitely will be.
Li Muzhi joked: “If Deputy Factory Director Liang comes, and let him be deputy factory director, what about you?”
Li Muzhi knows, Lao He and other management personnel are competing for deputy factory director position.
Lao He paused, then stuck his neck: “I’m not someone who disregards the overall situation, if Deputy Factory Director Liang comes and his ability stronger than mine, I’ll submit to him.”
“Hehe.” Li Muzhi chuckled, said, “Just poached several senior technical talents from Huangyadong Arsenal, then poach their deputy factory director, not quite appropriate.”
“Didn’t you say, later still let them have ability to produce new type rockets, if I were Huangyadong Arsenal factory director, let alone one deputy factory director, even poach the factory director, it’s worth it.” Lao He immediately stated.
“Alright, then it’s settled.” Li Muzhi said to Lao He, “Whenever you poach Deputy Factory Director Liang over, Border Region Arsenal’s deputy factory director will be you.”
As for poaching Huangyadong Arsenal’s Deputy Factory Director Liang, that side’s Factory Director Xu may get emotional.
Li Muzhi doesn’t care anymore, anyway pressure passed to Minister Zhang.
Also, Lao He hinted Border Region Arsenal family business big, needs senior management personnel, Li Muzhi definitely supports.
Lao He upon hearing, overjoyed, looked at Li Muzhi: “Factory Director, you mean it?”
“When have I not kept my word!” Li Muzhi retorted.
“Hehe.” Lao He chuckled, thought of something, still asked, “Then poach Deputy Factory Director Liang over, what position let him take?”
“He’s deputy factory director at Huangyadong Arsenal, coming here of course still deputy factory director.” Li Muzhi said.
“Then at that time, both I and he are deputy factory directors?” Lao He paused.
“What’s wrong, not okay?” Li Muzhi looked at Lao He, “Or you give him your position?”
Li Muzhi already thought it through.
Not only promote Lao He to deputy factory director, others can also be promoted to deputy factory directors accordingly.
Border Region Arsenal family business huge, later maybe consider branch factories.
These deputy factory directors are branch factory managers.
“Hehe, Factory Director, I know my own ability well, if I become deputy factory director, definitely more useful than being director.” Lao He had a bit of self-praise like selling one’s own melon.
“Haha.” Li Muzhi affirmed, “Yes, I think so too.”
“Haha.” Lao He laughed excitedly.
……
Finished eating, Liang Yuanze took people and immediately hurried to move things again.
Lao He followed, probably to first give Liang Yuanze advance talk of poaching, Li Muzhi didn’t mind.
Prepare to first inspect each workshop, then return to office.
Although, rockets to use launch rail.
But honeycomb launch tube diagrams can be drawn in advance.
Later if opportunity, still can make some honeycomb launch tubes.
Li Muzhi just came out from first workshop inspection, saw Zhang Wanhe appear like injected with chicken blood: “Hehe, Xiao Li, the things exchanged with general’s sword, exchanged back.”
Li Muzhi upon hearing, excited: “You sure?”
Among them two things, not ordinary supplies, not that easy to get.
So fast, efficiency comes!
“Xiao Li, look at my expression, do I look like joking with you!”
Zhang Wanhe very serious expression, “Things I had people bring over.”
“Go, right to my office.” Li Muzhi didn’t dawdle, immediately had Zhang Wanhe’s people move things to office.
