Participating in Yan Country Military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank Bidding Conference

A week passed quietly.

Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun were ready.

They took a car from their own 077 Machinery Military Factory to the location of the Yan Country Military's Main Battle Tank bidding conference.

After a three-hour journey, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun finally arrived at their destination.

The road conditions were truly terrible, and the car Lin Chenran was in bounced around violently.

Lin Chenran was fine, but Song Xiyun felt quite unwell, a little unaccustomed to it, his face slightly pale.

"Old Song, are you alright!"

"Didn't I tell you before! Let me handle this this time. You should stay at the factory and calmly handle all the big and small matters there."

After Song Xiyun recovered slightly, he said with a half-joking tone, "You brat, do you think I don't know what you're plotting in your heart?"

"You just want to keep me at the factory to help you deal with that mountain of documents, but that's impossible."

When Lin Chenran heard Song Xiyun say that about him, he immediately pouted and retorted, "Old Song, I'm doing this for your own good! What you just said is simply an insult to my character."

"How could I be that kind of person!"

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Chenran shook his head repeatedly, vehemently denying it.

No matter what, he couldn't admit it!

"You know better than anyone whether it's like I said."

"Alright, enough nonsense, let's go inside quickly!"

Then, guided by a staff member, the two prepared to enter the conference room.

Suddenly, a familiar shout came from behind: "Old Song, wait a moment!!!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun stopped in unison, turned around, their gazes falling on the familiar figure, and then they walked quickly forward.

"Old Zhu, hello!" Lin Chenran greeted with a smile.

"Old Zhu, hello!" Song Xiyun followed closely, greeting him warmly.

Standing before them was the one-armed Chief Designer who had supported half of Yan Country's tank history – Old Zhu!!!

Lin Chenran and the others were not surprised to see Old Zhu from the 617 Machinery Military Factory here.

After all, this was the bidding conference for the Second Generation Main Battle Tank hosted by the Yan Country Military.

As a major tank manufacturer in Yan Country, the 617 Machinery Military Factory would naturally not miss this bidding conference.

Next, Song Xiyun introduced Lin Chenran, who was standing beside him, to Old Zhu: "This is Director Lin Chenran from our 077 Machinery Military Factory."

A hint of admiration flashed in Old Zhu's eyes, and he praised enthusiastically, "Ah! Truly, the younger generation surpasses the old! I didn't expect Director Lin to be so young and promising."

Old Zhu had certainly heard of the 077 Machinery Military Factory. After all, being able to modify a Type 59 Tank into a civilian engineering vehicle and dominate the engineering vehicle market, defeating numerous foreign engineering vehicle companies, was not something ordinary people could achieve.

It was precisely because of Lin Chenran that the 077 Machinery Military Factory could regain its vitality.

Lin Chenran, because of this great achievement, was directly commended by the Yan Country Military in various public forums.

As for the other stagnant machinery military factories, they became negative examples cited by the Yan Country Military.

With the same conditions and the same difficulties, why could others succeed, but you could not?

The 077 Machinery Military Factory was the best example.

Facing Old Zhu's praise, Lin Chenran appeared very humble. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Old Zhu, you flatter me too much. In front of a senior as esteemed as you, how could I dare to be presumptuous!"

Hearing this, Old Zhu laughed heartily, "I never expected your teacher to be able to teach such an excellent disciple like you."

It turned out that Old Zhu also knew Lin Chenran's teacher. This surprised Lin Chenran, but at the same time, it made him respect Old Zhu even more.

He quickly said, "No, no, no! Old Zhu, please stop praising me, I feel like I'm going to float away!"

"Alright, Old Zhu, it's useless even if you praise Chenran to the skies. He's a man you'll never get in this lifetime, so give up on that idea early!" Song Xiyun said playfully.

As soon as he said this, it caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

"Alas! If only Chenran wasn't the director of the 077 Machinery Military Factory, then I would definitely find a way to poach him for our 617 Machinery Military Factory." Old Zhu sighed with regret.

"It's just a pity that it's too late now." He couldn't help but sigh heavily again.

Indeed, Lin Chenran's starting point was so high, becoming the director of the 077 Machinery Military Factory at such a young age.

And now, the 077 Machinery Military Factory was making a fortune with its modified Type 59 civilian engineering vehicle.

The personal welfare and benefits for its employees were among the best in the major third-tier military factories.

The 617 Machinery Military Factory simply couldn't offer Lin Chenran a suitable position or comparable welfare and benefits.

Thinking of this, Old Zhu shook his head helplessly.

Song Xiyun was right, Lin Chenran was destined to have no connection with their 617 Machinery Military Factory; he was a man they could never obtain.

Lin Chenran, Song Xiyun, and Old Zhu all wisely avoided the topic.

"I really didn't expect your 077 Machinery Military Factory to participate in the bidding conference for the military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank," Old Zhu asked with a puzzled expression.

You should know that the 077 Machinery Military Factory has already made a fortune with the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle, so there seems to be no need for them to get involved in the Military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank project.

Lin Chenran replied humbly, "Old Zhu, we're primarily here to learn from our fellow manufacturers at the Military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank bidding conference."

At this point, Song Xiyun, standing nearby, retorted, "What's wrong? Old Zhu, are you saying only your 617 Machinery Military Factory is allowed to participate in the Military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank bidding conference?"

"And our 077 Machinery Military Factory isn't? That's completely unreasonable!!!"

"Even though our 077 Machinery Military Factory didn't start out by manufacturing tanks, we still have a solid foundation."

Old Zhu quickly shook his head and waved his hands, denying it. "Not at all. Everyone competes fairly."

Lin Chenran, standing beside him, said calmly, "Everyone competes fairly. I'd also like to see 617 Machinery Military Factory's design proposal for the Second Generation Main Battle Tank."

Less than an hour remained until the Yan Country Military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank bidding conference.

Lin Chenran and the other two stopped discussing tanks and turned to other topics.

Lin Chenran and the other two chatted and laughed as they were guided by staff to the meeting room for the Yan Country Military's Second Generation Main Battle Tank bidding conference.

At this time, the directors or chief engineers from several Third-tier Military Factories were already waiting there.

As soon as Old Zhu entered the meeting room, they all stepped forward to greet him.

After exchanging a glance, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun walked directly to their pre-assigned seats and waited for the Military's arrival.

Apologies, the 616 Machinery Military Factory mentioned earlier has been changed to the 212 Machinery Military Factory. It was too close to the 617 Machinery Military Factory, and I was afraid I would get them mixed up.

I just got them mixed up!
