That night, the news spread.
"The warehouse managers who are looking after the warehouse have decided to transform the warehouse into a supermarket!"
"Huh, they knew they were going to be diverted, so they decided to do this, right? But where did they get the money?"
"It is said that the group allocated 200,000 yuan to them, and they raised a few thousand yuan themselves and decided to open the supermarket."
"Two hundred thousand! So much? Isn't the group afraid of losing money?"
"I heard that it will be paid off in one year, and then the group will keep an amount equal to the thousands of dollars they raised. It will be regarded as a joint shareholding. The group will hold half of the shares, and the remaining people will hold the other half of the shares. .”
"Two hundred thousand, repay it in one year? Huh, the money from the group is just waiting to be wasted."
No one is optimistic about it. In their eyes, this is absolutely nonsense. How can it be so easy to succeed? The group is actually willing to pay for support. This is definitely a way to get in but not out.
"Oh, with this little money, it would be great to give us holiday benefits!"
Someone complained, but then someone became nervous: "Keep your voice down, half of the people will be laid off and diverted. It would be great if we can continue to work in this position, but don't talk nonsense. What benefits are there? This salary is not enough." Maybe I can’t get it!”
The person who just said about giving out welfare quickly covered his mouth. Misfortune comes from the mouth. Misfortune comes from the mouth. How could he say such a thing impulsively?
Fortunately, no one saw it, and they let out a long breath.
The lights in the factory leader's office were still on, and Hu De looked nervously at Zhang Guangrong in front of him.
"Director Zhang, no matter how you draw up this list, it is not appropriate. Except for the few mentioned by Mr. Qin, it is not good for anyone to be on or off. I have lost a lot of hair this day. What should I do? Ah." Hood was very anxious.
They all work in the same factory. They have been working in the same factory for decades. Some fathers have retired and their sons have taken over. Those old men were once Hu De's masters. If he dared to let his son lose his job, he would be damned if he didn't point his finger at the bridge of his nose and scold him.
"Don't call me factory director, call me director." Zhang Guangrong said, "Be careful to make mistakes!"
It was said smoothly, but there was no way to change it. But now, Hu De was also very nervous. He turned his head and looked outside, for fear of being overheard. If it reached Mr. Qin's ears, he would probably be laid off soon.
"Have you heard about what happened in the warehouse today?" Zhang Guangrong asked.
"Well, I heard that, thanks to those people's requests, I was able to have a dozen more people on my list," Hood said.
"Do you think this is our boss Qin's method?" Zhang Guangrong asked.
"Mr. Qin's method?"
"Yes, Mr. Qin was present at the time, and then these people took the initiative to make the decision. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If their supermarket opens and is still very profitable, what will happen to the other people?"
In fact, in Huating City, there are already a group of people who have become wealthy first. However, ordinary people always think that it has nothing to do with themselves. They work step by step and receive wages. They feel that such a life is good and they are too lazy to change. This is like It's like boiling a frog in warm water. I feel like I'm enjoying it and I don't want to jump out.
Therefore, we have to give them a strong drug and let them know that if they take action, a better life beckons. When they see people who were originally in the same factory, they only get one or two hundred yuan like them. Salary, suddenly, the income changes, one or two thousand, or even ten or twenty thousand, will they still be content with the status quo?
They will definitely be restless, and when the time comes, they may actively ask to resign. Instead of being transferred and diverted in the factory, they might as well use their own brains to get rich.
By then, Hood won't have a headache, because these people asked for it.
Under Zhang Guangrong's advice, Hu De naturally thought of this and nodded very happily: "Yes, Mr. Qin is a capable person. He is not the kind of person who only issues administrative orders. He pretends to be a bad person on the surface. In fact, they are also doing work for us. Those people in the Publicity Department are not very capable, so they have to let Mr. Qin personally do the work. Sure enough, it is appropriate to transfer them to different positions! "
"By the way, where is Mr. Qin?"
"I didn't see it. After arranging the transformation of the warehouse into a supermarket, Mr. Qin left. I wonder if he contacted them about the source of goods. When it comes to doing business, Mr. Qin is really good at it."
Where is Qin Tao?
Of course he went to do his own business.
It has entered winter, and it gets dark early at night. The wind was blowing the street lamp, and under the street lamp, a person's figure was swaying.
Finally, he put his hands into his pockets, no longer waiting, let's go in.
"Hey, comrade, please show me your identification. We are a confidential unit and ordinary people are not allowed in." The guard still did his duty.
"I'm going in to find my wife."
The guard was amused: "Looking for a wife? Excuse me, what's your wife's name? Which department is she in?"
"Zhao Ling, I'm not sure which department it is."
"Sorry, I haven't heard of that name."
"She just came here and has only been working for a few days."
"Then do you know the phone number of her department?"
Qin Tao shook his head.
"Sorry, I can't let you in."
Although this man was wearing a suit and holding a mobile phone, he had seen many such people. The first group of people who became wealthy in society were not the ones who could just wander in.
Qin Tao was helpless. He wanted to see his wife, but why was it so difficult? Well, the only option is to call their leader.
Soon, a man trotted out.
"Dean, you?" The guard watched in surprise as the old dean ran out and went straight to Qin Tao.
"Mr. Qin, what kind of wind brings you here? You make our institute flourish!"
Their dean is so respected that even the city leaders have never gone out to greet them when they come. After all, their unit belongs to the aerospace industry system and has a high status. Now, they can actually run to greet the people in front of them?
The guard was a little dumbfounded: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a distinguished guest of our dean, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. This young man sticks to his principles. That's good." Qin Tao first reassured the guard. Although he already had a high status, he was still very polite to ordinary people.
After finishing speaking, Qin Tao said to the dean: "I'm not here for official business, but for private matters. What time is it, and you guys are still not off work? You, the dean, are worthy of your duties."
The guard was even more surprised. Qin Tao, a young man, dared to speak to their dean in such a tone? It's like they are old friends from the same generation.
Their dean is still not angry!
"Is there any way? We don't want to complete the project as soon as possible. After we got those things, everyone worked overtime and forgot to eat and sleep. We can't wait to complete the research immediately!"
"Then I don't care. If my wife loses weight, you won't be able to get any good things in the future!"
"Our canteen is always taking special care of the technical staff. Don't worry, you won't lose weight. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."
The dean took Qin Tao straight to the R&D hall. When Qin Tao walked in, his eyes suddenly opened up. There were countless tables set up in a space that was about the same as an indoor football field. They were arranged quite regularly. On each table There were disassembled parts and countless people were busy there.
"This used to be our drawing room. Later, we carried out technical reforms and threw away the drawing board and used computers for design. We no longer need such a large space. Now the Schikili system for surveying and mapping is just in use."
The Steadfast that was towed back has only one shell left, and it is being dismantled by the shipyard. After everything is dismantled, the Steadfast will become a mystery. As for the various weapon systems above, they have been divided among various design bureaus and research institutes.
Being able to get Shikili's weapon system for surveying and mapping here is naturally a big project. It is the Tianzi No. 1 project of their research institute. However, there is a reason why they can get it. Most of the domestic anti-aircraft missiles are currently The research and development institutions are all working together to study the Hongqi-9 air defense missile, so this medium-range air defense missile has become the meat in their mouths.
Qin Tao's contribution was the greatest, so the dean respected him very much. When he heard that he was coming, of course he ran out to greet him personally.
Moreover, since Zhao Ling is also here, the dean believes that Qin Tao will come here often in the future.
"MP-710 three-coordinate search and guidance radar, illumination radar, TV head, OK-10B air situation platform, target distribution platform, precision tracking display console, OK-10 shooting console, and central computer, these systems together constitute This is the control and guidance part of our air defense missile system." At this time, on a desktop, Zhao Ling was drawing a structural block diagram, triangle, rectangle, square, with various arrows drawn on it.
When he saw her demeanor, Qin Tao felt extremely emotional, his wife, is this the way to be the project leader?
Of course, definitely not. Zhao Ling has not reached that level yet. On the other side of the table, a kind old man is smiling. This person has been to Mingzhou before, so Qin Tao knows him. Now he has been appointed as Hongqi - Zhang Lao, the chief designer of the 16 missile.
Since Zhao Ling had her back to Qin Tao, she did not see Qin Tao. Mr. Zhang, who was sitting across the table, saw it and wanted to say hello, but Qin Tao waved his hand, so Mr. Zhang smiled and continued to listen to Zhao Ling. Analyzes.
If you follow the same pattern and just disassemble the original parts and copy them, then even if you can make the same type, once it breaks down, you won't know what the problem is. Therefore, you must understand the principles of the entire system.
In such a short period of time, they started to mess with the principles, which shows that they are very active and hard working.
Qin Tao was very emotional.
"This system uses a semi-active guidance system. The design idea of the music station's target illumination radar is worth learning. However, there are also some systems that can be improved. For example, this system uses three central computers with the same functions. They are mutual backup and work at the same time. Each computer can process 12 target information. When more than 12 target information is exceeded, the other computer automatically works. But I think this operation is a bit redundant. Our computer performance has surpassed that of the Soviet Union. Just two computers are enough, and one computer can handle more than thirty targets."
Should it be completely based on Lao Maozi's design, surveyed and copied, or should it be updated?
Mr. Zhang frowned there, and a designer said: "No, our current task is not to improve, but to survey and imitate. We must first solve the problem. When Lao Maozi was surveying and mapping the B-29, he also wanted to improve it. , but the Iron Giant told Tupolev that not a single screw could be moved, so the Tu-4 bomber quickly took off. Now, what we have to solve is also the problem of whether or not. This missile system is better than our own The Hongqi-61 is much more advanced, we must build it first and solve the urgent problem for the navy, and then we can improve it."
"We just need to transplant the program and modify the design parameters inside. There won't be too many problems. Even if we only have a few illumination radars and cannot deal with more targets, we can at least track enough Target, in the future sea, saturation strikes have become a trend, and we should allow the navy to have this capability." Zhao Ling said.
In fact, many circuits can be digitally transformed, but Zhao Ling did not propose it. She only proposed the simplest solution. Of course, she also knew that the progress could not be delayed.
"One move affects the whole body." At this moment, a voice spoke.
Zhao Ling looked behind her in surprise and found that Qin Tao was here. Her heart was filled with joy, but then she felt a little dissatisfied. Why was her suggestion rejected by Brother Tao?
"These weapon systems are all cross-linked with each other." Qin Tao continued: "For example, although these are all Shijili's, some channels are reserved and can be transmitted to AK630 and other close-in defense artillery. We only change Computers seem to be very easy, but they may affect many things. Now, changes are secondary, and copying them first is the most important."
"Moreover, if you want to change it, you have to make major changes together. Many of Lao Maozi's circuits are analog. If they are replaced with digital circuits, the performance of the weapon system can be better improved. Only the central computer will be changed. Performance improvements are limited.”
"Well, okay, I'm worried." Zhao Ling agreed with Qin Tao's statement.
"Mr. Qin, you are right." Mr. Zhang said: "Although you are not a professional in this field, you have a high position and have a higher view. In the future, after we have thoroughly understood the technology of this anti-aircraft missile, we will definitely further improve it. performance."
"Well, I believe in everyone's strength." Qin Tao said: "The only thing that needs to be changed at the moment is the launch method, and there is no need to change anything else. Although it is backward, it can be used. If you want to change it in the future, make a big change, even for missiles. It can be replaced with new propellant to double the range of the missile."
The current 9M38 missile can only hit more than 20 kilometers. Although it is called a medium-range air defense missile, it is actually not very interesting. If the range is doubled to 50 kilometers, it will be almost the same.
"Yes, we have this confidence." The dean said from the side.
"Well, I want to ask, what time do you plan to get off work?" Qin Tao began to care about this issue.
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, it's already past nine o'clock. Let's all leave. We'll start work again tomorrow."
"Mr. Zhang, let's go again..." Someone else wanted to say something, but they were already stopped by the people next to them.
If everyone doesn't get off work, Zhao Ling won't leave. If Zhao Ling doesn't want to leave, Mr. Qin will have to stay here together. It's already very late now, so we might as well get off work. Anyway, we can't finish this work in one day.
Everyone slowly began to walk out. Zhao Ling packed up her work materials and other things, and followed the flow of people outside.
"Brother Tao, shall we stay in a hotel today?" Zhao Ling asked Qin Tao.
After arriving at Huating, Zhao Ling moved into the dormitory. It was just a place to sleep anyway. Many people even worked too much overtime and just took a nap at work.
Zhao Ling didn't care, but it was still inconvenient to take Qin Tao back to the dormitory, so Zhao Ling planned to stay out for one night with Qin Tao.
"No, we live there." Qin Tao said, pointing to the distance.
"Overseas Chinese Village?" Zhao Ling looked at the direction of Qin Tao's finger and asked tentatively.
"Well." Qin Tao said: "This afternoon, I bought a house there. It's not too old. That will be our home from now on. When I come to see you, I will live there. If you are alone, , if you feel lonely, you can stay in the dormitory.”
"The houses there are very expensive!" Zhao Ling sighed.
"I bought it with the money left over from our last honeymoon." Qin Tao said, "It's all ours, not the group's money."
Zhao Ling was a little bit tongue-tied, but Qin Tao was normal.
He must have a house in Huating. After all, Huating is a big city and the group also has a factory. He will come here often in the future, so he can't stay in a hotel. It's so expensive. It's better to have his own house.
"It doesn't cost much to stay in a hotel. If you buy a house like this, you can live in a hotel for fifty years, no, a hundred years!"
"A hotel is not a home." Qin Tao said, "Only when you have your own house can you have a home."
After saying these words, Zhao Ling felt warm in her heart. Unconsciously, she held Qin Tao's hand and went home happily together.
As for the large-scale construction of commercial housing, Huating City has not yet done so. However, this does not mean that there are no houses that can be bought and sold in Huating.
In the past, Huating only had two commercial housing units built in the 1960s: Longshan Overseas Chinese Village and Hengshan Road Overseas Chinese Apartment. As you can tell by their names, they were specially prepared for foreigners.
In 1980, construction of Overseas Chinese Village started, and what Qin Tao bought was this kind of foreign-related commercial house that was less than ten years old. Fortunately, he no longer needed to buy it with US dollars.
There are actually other commercial buildings as well.
In 1988, Huating carried out the first standardized registration of real estate development enterprises, and at the same time officially opened Luoshan, Yuannan, Tianlin Xinyuan, Xinjing, Fengzhen and other commercial housing communities in the suburbs; new high-quality foreign-related commercial residential communities , the Gem Apartment in Gubei, also started construction in 1988.
It is possible to buy these houses now. However, they are far away from Zhao Ling’s work place. Most of them are in the suburbs. Zhao Ling has to be equipped with a private car and has to be lucky. Therefore, various factors make it difficult to buy these houses. Qin Tao chose the house here.
"How much did it cost?" Zhao Ling continued to ask.
"Three thousand and one square meter, a total of more than sixty square meters, which is smaller than our house in Mingzhou. We will change to a bigger one later."
Although she knew it was expensive, Zhao Ling didn't know how expensive it was. Now if she calculated it, it was 180,000 yuan!
In the early 1990s when the average salary was only one or two hundred, buying a house for 180,000 yuan was definitely too luxurious.
In fact, in 1989, Nanjing Road Exchange held the first real estate trade fair, launching a total of 2,675 units. At that time, housing prices ranged from 832 yuan to 2,300 yuan per square meter.
At that time, some people suggested that more than 2,000 yuan per square meter was too expensive, and that this was speculation, and demanded that it be banned.
However, this could only become a fantasy. Later, there were more and more commercial houses. When the story of spring started, real estate began to be developed across the country, and then it gradually became the pillar industry of the country.
Qin Tao didn't want to comment on the rights and wrongs inside. He himself would not speculate on houses. However, since he had the money and the need, of course he would buy a house to live in. There has to be a comfort zone.
"Creak." The iron security door was opened, and then Qin Tao opened the wooden door inside, and a cozy cabin appeared in front of Zhao Ling.
I just bought it in the afternoon. Qin Tao took the key and simply tidied it up, changing the sheets and quilts, etc. There were no other changes, and the traces of the previous owner were still retained.
For example, there are English letters on the wall saying Happy Birthday. It seems that the owner just celebrated his birthday and went back to China. He dealt with the house before leaving and left all the furniture with the next person.
"Thank you, Brother Tao." Zhao Ling said.
Although she knew that Qin Tao could make money and was not short of money, Zhao Ling was still a little moved when she thought that this would be their home in the future.
"I will stay in Huating in the next few days to deal with some things." Qin Tao said, "So in the past few days, we will live here, and I will also take time to clean up the house. Today we can only cook a few bags of instant noodles tonight. ”
Zhao Ling nodded: "You have been tired for a day, right? I'll do it."
"I'm fine. I just held a meeting, chased away a few people, gave them some hope, and then bought a house." Qin Tao said, "I don't feel tired at all, so I'll do it."
In the small kitchen, two people squeezed in, and the scene was warm.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from next door.
"Yes, I have already inspected it. Huating is a world-class metropolis, and our Metro company will definitely be able to develop overseas markets here! Yes, I am full of confidence!"
What? Metro?
Qin Tao suddenly showed a smile on his face. What a coincidence. He was just planning to open a supermarket today. As a result, there was a guy living next door who planned to open a shopping mall in Huating. What is this called?
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it takes no effort to get there!
Metro AG, also known as "Metro Supermarket", is the largest retail and wholesale supermarket group in Germany, the second in Europe, and the third in the world. In 1964, Metro rose rapidly and created a unique warehouse supermarket model. When Qin Tao took Zhao Ling to travel to Europe, they went to Metro supermarket. Their company is one of the world's top 500 companies, with branches in 32 countries.
However, it will be a bit complicated for them to establish their own business model in China, because so far, there is no supermarket chain owned by a multinational giant in China, so they can only achieve win-win cooperation.
