Chapter 47: Finished Product of Special Steel Material

After returning to the capital, Lin Chenran rested for a few days before heading back to Linjiang Province's 077 Machinery Military Factory.

It had been a long time since he went on his business trip to Bear Country to open up the path of an International Speculator, and many matters awaited his attention.

The most important of these was the approval from his superiors to merge Linjiang Province's Second Textile Factory into the 077 Machinery Military Factory, making it a subsidiary.

This required Lin Chenran to personally handle the related affairs upon his return.

For this, his superiors had also proposed some conditions.

The two Type 61 Destroyers that Lin Chenran brought back from Bear Country would belong to the higher authorities.

Of course, they were willing to purchase them from the 077 Machinery Military Factory at scrap prices.

Clearly, many high-level officials had not given up hope; they wanted to see if these two Type 61 Destroyers could be repaired.

Even if they couldn't be repaired, they hoped to gamble on whether the gas turbines on board were still in good condition.

Lin Chenran was naturally very happy to accept.

Originally, the plan was to find a shipyard to dismantle these two Type 61 Destroyers and melt down the steel from their hulls.

Most of the Type 61 Destroyers used special steel materials, which, even after melting, would become a high-strength civilian steel material.

The decision from his superiors perfectly aligned with his expectations, solving the problem while satisfying everyone's needs.

Killing two birds with one stone!

A perfect plan!

Linjiang Province, 077 Machinery Military Factory

At this moment, Song Xiyun had already learned from the phone call that his factory director was returning from the capital.

He had already organized a group of high-level leaders and was waiting quietly at the entrance of the 077 Machinery Military Factory for the director's return.

Time ticked by, and finally, a black sedan slowly came into view and stopped in front of the factory gate.

The car door opened, and Lin Chenran stepped out.

His figure was tall and resolute, with a confident smile on his face.

He was dressed in a neat suit, looking exceptionally energetic.

When Lin Chenran saw the high-level officials of the 077 Machinery Military Factory, a wave of emotion surged within him.

Lin Chenran strode forward, clasped Song Xiyun's hand tightly, and sincerely expressed his gratitude, "Old Song, and everyone else, what is all this for?"

His tone was filled with warmth and gratitude, his eyes shining with sincerity.

"This is too grand!" Lin Chenran exclaimed, feeling the respect and anticipation from everyone.

"It's making me a bit embarrassed," he said with a smile, but his heart felt incredibly warm.

All the high-level officials of the 077 Machinery Military Factory knew of Lin Chenran's extraordinary abilities, yet he always maintained a low-key and pragmatic style.

"Director Lin, you've been on a business trip to Bear Country for so long, working tirelessly to open up a path for our factory as an International Speculator. It's only right for us to welcome you here," Song Xiyun said.

The other high-level officials of the 077 Machinery Military Factory echoed in agreement, "That's right, this is what we should do."

"Director Lin, you've worked hard!!!"

Seeing this, Lin Chenran bowed to thank everyone.

"Thank you all for your concern and support. Let's work together to make the factory better and better!"

Immediately, the high-level officials of the 077 Machinery Military Factory applauded enthusiastically.

Afterward, Lin Chenran led everyone to the conference room.

In the spacious and bright conference room, a large oval conference table was set up, surrounded by comfortable chairs.

Once the high-level officials of the 077 Machinery Military Factory were seated, the meeting officially began.

"My trip to Bear Country to establish the path of an International Speculator went very smoothly. There will be more transactions coming in succession."

Lin Chenran stood at one end of the conference table, his voice clear and firm, exuding confidence and determination.

"Later, we will need to select one of the high-level officials present to go to the border between our country and Bear Country for transactions."

Lin Chenran's gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and trust.

Lin Chenran spoke directly and to the point.

As for who to select, Lin Chenran would naturally discuss it with Song Xiyun.

There were various temptations involved in transactions, so it was necessary to select a high-level official who was "battle-hardened," "upright and incorruptible," and most importantly, a heavy drinker.

After all, the people of Bear Country were known for their heavy drinking. If one couldn't win them over at the drinking table, they might not be able to control them.

It was only when Lin Chenran drank heavily at the Red Romance Tavern in Vladivostok that he managed to catch Kovalevitch's attention, leading to their subsequent cooperation.

Once the cooperation between the two parties stabilizes, Lin Chenran will consider arranging a senior executive to be responsible for specific matters.

In the early stages, that senior executive would only be able to follow Lin Chenran to learn how to handle the affairs of the transactions between the two parties.

"The second matter is that the province has agreed that the Second Textile Factory will be annexed by our 077 Machinery Military Factory and become a subsidiary factory of our factory."

A smile appeared on Lin Chenran's lips as he took this opportunity to announce another piece of great news.

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room, lasting for a long time.

None of the senior executives at the 077 Machinery Military Factory had expected their factory director to move so quickly!

How long had it been?

The Second Textile Factory had directly become a subsidiary factory of the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

This was simply a miracle!

At the same time, they couldn't help but start to doubt their factory director's true identity.

Being able to quickly get the Linjiang Province officials to agree to the merger of the Second Textile Factory into the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

Such a thing would not have been completed so quickly without a very deep background.

It had been rumored in the factory before that Lin Chenran's background was not simple.

He was very familiar with the top leader of Linjiang Province, Old Liang.

And now it was even more extraordinary!

Only Song Xiyun knew Lin Chenran's true identity among those present!

"Old Song, you'll accompany me to the Second Textile Factory to liaise with Wu Changqing then."

Lin Chenran continued speaking.

"No problem!"

Song Xiyun replied calmly.

At this moment, he wanted to know Wu Changqing's thoughts after receiving the superior's order to merge the Second Textile Factory into the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

Wu Changqing's mood must be very complicated.

Next, Lin Chenran asked the senior executives to report on their current situations.

Song Xiyun reported first.

"Director Lin, not long ago, merchants from Sha Country in the Camel Region came to discuss matters regarding the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle."

"They requested to meet you before discussing further."

Song Xiyun's words made Lin Chenran, who was sitting in the main seat, instantly surprised.

Merchants from Sha Country in the Camel Region?

And they wanted to meet him?

Lin Chenran asked, "Old Song, did they say what it was about?"

Song Xiyun, however, shook his head.

"In that case, arrange a time on your end. We will host our distinguished guests from Sha Country in the Camel Region."

The Camel people, with a piece of cloth on their heads, are the richest in the world!

Lin Chenran certainly had to meet them.

Moreover, he had to receive them with high protocol.

Afterward, the other senior executives also reported on their work.

"Director Lin, the Special Steel Material from before has been produced."

Lin Chenran was surprised upon hearing this. "It's been produced?"
