The Soviet-style BTR40 armored personnel carrier imitated by Chenguang Factory has a powerful and sharp shape. The front of the car is sharp and wedge-shaped, the rear of the car is square, and a circle of fence-shaped armor is installed around the body. This is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the factory.
Anti-rocket armor made with reference to the style of wheeled armored vehicles of the US military in Iraq...

Open the heavy cockpit door and get in. The interior of the car is neat and tidy, exuding the unique smell of cheap plastic products. The vehicle chassis and control equipment are all outsourced civilian truck systems, so the steering wheel and instrument panel are slightly weak. The speedometer, oil
The water temperature indicators are all mechanical pointer type, which is clear at a glance and easy to maintain. The steering wheel has no power assist and it is difficult to turn without any arm strength. The seats are made of artificial leather fabric and springs. They rattle when you sit on them, probably in the hot flash environment of Africa.
It won't feel too comfortable, but overall it fully meets and even partially exceeds the bidding requirements.
Although Liu Ziguang does not work in the factory, he still holds the position of assistant to the factory director, so the master of the finished product warehouse stood nearby and said enthusiastically: "Assistant Liu, why don't you go out for a walk?"
"Okay..." Liu Ziguang tried to start the car. There was a roar, and the vibration of the engine was transmitted to his body through the seat. It felt like a heavy truck. He put the armored vehicle in second gear and slowly drove the armored vehicle out of the warehouse.
, walking forward at a constant speed in the factory area, there are two square plexiglass windows in front of the cockpit. The field of view is not very good, but military vehicles must be designed in this way. In a combat environment, there are two iron plates above the windows that can be lowered.
, driving only by the gaps in the iron plate, if you are not an experienced driver, it may be a bit difficult to control.
Suddenly someone on the roadside yelled: "Stop! Who asked you to drive out?" Liu Ziguang stopped the car in a hurry, opened the door and smiled: "Brother Deng, it's me."
The person who came was none other than Deng Yunfeng, the director of the first workshop. When he saw that it was Liu Ziguang, his expression softened a lot. He climbed onto the car and said, "Test the car?"
"Yes, let's take a look around and experience it for users..." Liu Ziguang said.
"Absolutely, the armored vehicles produced by our factory are not bad at all." Deng Yunfeng said proudly, "The prototype uses an in-line six-cylinder gasoline engine with 80 horsepower. We use a four-cylinder heavy-duty truck diesel engine with 160 horsepower.
Horsepower, powerful and fuel-efficient, a diesel engine is not prone to explosion when shot, and is much more powerful than a gasoline engine."
"Oh, how's the fuel consumption?"
"About 30 liters per 100 kilometers, which is not high for this car. After all, it only weighs five tons."
The armored vehicle circled around the factory test site. Its ability to pass obstacles and trenches was better than expected, and its bulletproof capabilities also met the requirements. But another question came to Liu Ziguang's mind: where to find fifty people who could drive a car?
?
…
After coming out of Chenguang Factory, Liu Ziguang went directly back to Red Star Company. There was a thick stack of questionnaires on his desk. It was a basic survey that he arranged for the company to conduct on all employees while he was away. Since the establishment of Red Star Company, Liu Ziguang has deliberately collected them.
An outstanding veteran took the risk of losing money to raise a group of people in order to come in handy at critical moments, but this questionnaire made him a little disappointed...
The overall quality of veterans is indeed relatively high. They have received military training, have strong discipline, and have a sense of collective honor. However, there is another problem, that is, none of them like to fight.
For most people, serving in the military is a curved way to find employment. Although the country no longer places veterans in employment, there are always various local care policies, and veterans have employment advantages over young people in society.
There are a hundred reasons for joining the army. For them, learning skills, joining the party, attending military schools, exercising their will, and even defending their family and country are all reasonable reasons. But no one can say that I am here to learn the skills of killing.
And those who go to be soldiers...
Liu Ziguang rubbed his temples, picked up the intercom and asked his foreman Shi Tao to go upstairs to talk. Shi Tao is a veteran of the Marine Corps. He has received amphibious warfare training, can use a variety of light and heavy weapons, and drives cars and speedboats. His overall quality is very high. He is
The seedling that Liu Ziguang has the greatest hope for.
Not long after, a shout came from outside the door: "Report!"
"Come in." Liu Ziguang said.
Shi Tao walked in with his head held high, and he saluted neatly, standing upright.
"Take a break." Liu Ziguang said.
Shi Tao put his hands behind his back, spread his legs as wide as his shoulders, and stood majestically in front of Mr. Liu, waiting for questions.
Liu Ziguang asked Shi Tao to sit down and asked as usual: "Have you had any difficulties in work or life recently? What are the organizational requirements?"
"Report to Mr. Liu! I am very satisfied with the current situation. The company is still supporting us despite poor performance. The comrades are very grateful. Whatever orders Mr. Liu has, we will definitely implement them..."
Looking at Shi Tao who was sitting upright, Liu Ziguang smiled softly, threw a cigarette and said, "Don't be restrained, let's chat. How much money can you make every month now? Have you found a partner?"
Shi Tao took out a lighter and lit Mr. Liu's cigarette first, then he lit it and took a puff, saying: "The monthly basic salary is one thousand and fifty, overtime pay, lunch subsidy, night shift subsidy, all added together, you can get two
She’s in her early teens and has a girlfriend...hehe."
"What are you laughing at? Whose daughter have you fallen in love with?" Liu Ziguang said with a smile.
Shi Tao scratched his head: "I know a girl who serves dishes in a restaurant. She's pretty and gets along well."
"That's right. When are you going to have your wedding candy?"
"Good morning, how can we get married if we don't have a house now? If someone wants to marry me, I'm too embarrassed to marry one. I want to work hard for two more years to buy a smaller second-hand house. This is how I have to live my life..."
Liu Ziguang praised: "I can't tell that Xiao Shi is quite good at living, but now the housing prices are skyrocketing every year. With your two salaries, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up with the down payment in two years."
Shi Tao frowned, sighed deeply and said: "My parents told me to sell the old house at home and take out all the savings over the past few decades. If the price doesn't rise again, maybe we can
For the down payment, at most it's a bigger loan, and you'll have to ask the company to provide proof of income and so on, and you may need to ask Mr. Liu for help."
Liu Ziguang said: "The income certificate company can help you open it at any time, but have you ever thought about it. Our Red Star company's performance is not good and it is getting worse. If you lose your job, who will repay the loan?"
Shi Tao was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized the reason why Mr. Liu wanted to talk to him. Could it be that the company was really in trouble?
After thinking for a while, Shi Tao sighed and said: "Brother Liu, you are a good person. Everyone understands that it is difficult for the company to leave the country. We have nothing to do all day long. In fact, everyone is prepared in their hearts. Even if the company is gone, we are still Brother Liu."
No matter what happens, all I need is a word from you!"
"Don't talk about me, tell me your plans. If the company goes bankrupt, how will you make a living?"
"It's not like I haven't thought about it. I want to drive a taxi for others, be a second driver, and set up a stall in the night market for my partner to work for. It's hard to find a job now. Neither of us has a high degree of education or any skills, so this is the only way we can do it.
..."
"It's like this, Xiaoshi, a friend asked me to find a driver, but the place of work is a bit far away, in Africa, and the place is a bit messy. We fight all day long, and the salary is not low, at least 8,000 yuan. Do you want to consider it?
." Liu Ziguang tentatively brought up this topic...
Shi Tao lowered his head and smoked heavily. He did not answer the question immediately. After a while, he said: "If it were a job like the one in Myanmar last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be qualified."
"Okay, it doesn't matter. You can go back first and help me call Lin Hao in." Liu Ziguang said.
Lin Hao is also a key employee of the Red Star Company. He once served as a conscript in the anti-aircraft artillery brigade for two years. His military qualities are quite good. Liu Ziguang once recommended him to be a driver for the then Mayor Zhou for a period of time. Later, Mayor Zhou was promoted to the provincial capital.
After becoming the director of education, Lin Hao returned to Red Star and continued to work as a security guard.
Like Shi Tao, Lin Hao is also a city soldier, but his personality is more easy-going. He walked into the office and nodded and smiled: "Mr. Liu, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Xiao Lin, I want to talk to you. Are you doing okay recently? If you have any difficulties, you should find the organization to solve them in time." Liu Ziguang said.
"Thank you, the leader, for your concern. I have been doing well recently. My salary is enough and I have enough time..." Lin Hao is the company's driver. His salary is about the same as Shi Tao's, about two thousand yuan. This level is considered in Jiangbei City.
It's more than enough than above, and it's really enough for a single man if he doesn't want to buy a house or support a family.
Lin Hao is a smart young man, so Liu Ziguang didn't go around so much and asked directly: "The company's business has not been very good in the past two years. Everyone knows that I have a friend who has business in Africa and needs some help."
Driver, the monthly salary is more than 8,000, and there are various insurances, but the place is a bit uneven, are you interested in doing this?"
"I...Mr. Liu, this is too sudden. Can you give me some time to think about it?" Lin Hao replied.
"Okay, it's not urgent. You can go back and think about it." Liu Ziguang sent him back and stopped asking anyone to come up. The reactions of Shi Tao and Lin Hao were representative of most people. They wanted a stable and peaceful life, even if they lived
It's better to be poorer than to make a lot of money and spend it all...
When Liu Ziguang went downstairs, he noticed that the atmosphere in the security room seemed a bit depressing. Some people were whispering to each other, and some were sighing. It was probably the two conversations that gave them a premonition that the company's end was coming.
To be honest, Mr. Liu treats them really well. Since the establishment of Red Star Company, the business volume has been very small. Most of the property security positions take care of laid-off workers in their forties and fifties. These young and strong young men are trained only and occasionally pulled out.
I just help Mr. Liu support the scene, and I get a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan. Such a good job is really hard to find.
Seeing Mr. Liu coming downstairs, the young men all came out and looked at Liu Ziguang with expectant eyes. They hesitated to speak. Liu Ziguang knew what they wanted to say and said with a smile: "Don't have any ideas."
"Mr. Liu, why don't we also open a bathing center!" Suddenly someone shouted, and Liu Ziguang understood what he meant. The most profitable business nowadays is to find other places such as bathing centers, entertainment clubs, and black casinos.
Money is fast, but also requires a large number of good players who can fight hard. According to the resources Liu Ziguang has at his disposal, this is the right way to do it.
What they couldn't understand the most was that Mr. Liu didn't seem to care at all about side business. The bathing center was left to Zhuo Li, the sand excavation field was run by Wang Zhijun's wife, and the earthmoving fleet was outsourced to a few friends, but he opened it himself.
It's really strange to think about a security company that doesn't make any money, and an airline that has no business. They spend a lot of money every month and see no benefit at all.
Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and reassured everyone: "The company won't collapse for a while. Even if it closes, I will help everyone find a way out."
…
With his heart full of worries, Liu Ziguang came to Xuanzi's auto repair shop, where ten Zhanqi jeeps were simply modified. The pivots for installing machine guns were welded on the roofs, and the doors and soft tops were removed. For light off-road vehicles,
In terms of safety, reducing the load is the most important thing. The thin body of the car cannot withstand bullets at all, so it is easier to dismantle it.
Xuanzi said: "Brother Liu, last time you told me about opening a car repair station in a foreign country, I have thought about it. I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. I have found more than a dozen people who can do this job. As long as you
One sentence can pull me away in minutes."
Liu Ziguang asked: "Didn't you tell them that the work is more dangerous?"
Xuanzi said disdainfully: "Dangerous? What can you do that is not dangerous? Who can guarantee that you will not go out and be hit by a car? These people I am looking for, let alone go to work in war-torn areas, let them carry guns and fight. These guys are all
No problem."
Liu Ziguang was puzzled: "Xuanzi, where did you find these desperadoes?"
Xuanzi smiled and said: "Brother, you don't understand this. There are such people everywhere."
