Three-Million Order? No Big Deal!!!

After hearing the news, Lin Chenran was so excited that he could hardly calm himself.

The heart he had been holding in suspense finally began to settle.

Cooperating with the government was merely a small "appetizer." What truly mattered were the steady stream of orders that would follow—those were the real main course.

Once the people from the construction site had returned one after another, a tense round of negotiations officially began.

Everyone knew that infrastructure construction was urgently needed, yet imported engineering vehicles were outrageously expensive, severely hampering the progress of all kinds of projects.

The leaders of Linjiang Province, headed by Old Liang, saw this clearly and worried deeply about it.

Now, the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle introduced by the 077 Machinery Military Factory perfectly met their needs.

Not only was it one-third cheaper than imported foreign products.

More importantly, it did not require precious foreign currency.

In that era, foreign currency was incredibly valuable.

Using it to purchase imported equipment from abroad was no easy matter.

Reports had to be submitted to higher authorities, followed by layers upon layers of approval.

But the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle from the 077 Machinery Military Factory required no foreign currency.

This was excellent news for Linjiang Province.

It meant that Linjiang Province's leaders could negotiate and purchase directly from the 077 Machinery Military Factory, eliminating many cumbersome procedures.

There was no tense confrontation at the meeting. Instead, the atmosphere was remarkably cordial, with everyone chatting and laughing.

Of course, when it came time to haggle over the price, Linjiang Province's leaders showed no mercy.

After all, sellers asked high and buyers bargained low.

After a round of bargaining, the two sides successfully reached an agreement.

Linjiang Province placed an on-the-spot order worth three million with the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

At the same time, they promised Lin Chenran that as long as the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle performed well in subsequent work, they would continue increasing their purchases.

Once the contract was signed, the employees of the 077 Machinery Military Factory seemed to ignite, cheering excitedly with uncontrollable joy written across their faces.

They clapped with all their might, their applause thunderous.

"It's alive!" someone shouted.

"The 077 Machinery Military Factory is finally alive again!" someone else cried.

At that moment, Lin Chenran stood in sharp contrast to everyone else, his expression exceptionally calm.

Then Lin Chenran walked over to Old Liang and sincerely thanked him. "Old Liang, thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving our 077 Machinery Military Factory."

However, Old Liang merely smiled and waved his hand. "Your 077 Machinery Military Factory saved itself through its own strength."

"If the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle you designed and developed had not been good enough, we would never have considered buying it."

"But we must also thank all the leaders of Linjiang Province for recognizing our Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle."

"Please rest assured. We will do everything possible to ensure both production speed and quality for this order."

Lin Chenran then joked, "If any maintenance issues arise in the future, just call our 077 Machinery Military Factory. We'll immediately send engineers to provide on-site service."

"Whether through raging wind and rain, day or night, as long as you need us, the engineers of the 077 Machinery Military Factory will arrive at the scene at the first opportunity," Lin Chenran continued with a smile.

At this, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.

They had never experienced such VVIP service before.

In the past, when they bought imported civilian engineering vehicles, any breakdown meant contacting after-sales service, only for the other side to drag its feet.

Not only were they slow to resolve problems, they also demanded exorbitant repair fees.

The comprehensive after-sales service now offered by the 077 Machinery Military Factory felt novel to Linjiang Province's leaders.

In terms of attitude, the 077 Machinery Military Factory had already far surpassed those foreign imported civilian engineering vehicle companies.

It had left them far behind.

Afterward, Lin Chenran led the employees of the 077 Machinery Military Factory away from the Linjiang Province government offices, carrying that weighty three-million order and brimming with confidence.

Before long, the group arrived at the 077 Machinery Military Factory.

The moment they stepped through the factory gates, a wave of cheers surged toward them and rang across the entire compound.

The news of the three-million order had already spread throughout the factory.

When the workers learned that the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle made by their own factory had received a three-million order from the Linjiang Province government, they could barely contain their joy.

At that moment, all their pent-up oppression and frustration were released.

Everyone had been under tremendous pressure these past days.

Now, they had finally seen a glimmer of hope.

With this three-million order, the 077 Machinery Military Factory had successfully weathered its current crisis.

More importantly, the weight hanging over the employees' hearts had finally lifted—wages could be paid on time, and their livelihoods were secure.

Most crucially, the military-industrial production and manufacturing qualification certificate that determined the factory's fate would not be taken back by the higher authorities.

After returning to the 077 Machinery Military Factory, Lin Chenran did not pause for even a moment and immediately organized a senior management meeting.

Once the senior executives entered the conference room one after another, the meeting officially began.

"The Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle we developed and manufactured has successfully secured an order worth three million!" Lin Chenran wore a smile, but his voice was unusually steady.

Though he appeared completely composed, the faint upward curve of his lips inadvertently revealed his delight.

This good news was undoubtedly a powerful stimulant for the entire factory.

Lin Chenran knew full well that the work ahead was equally critical and could not afford the slightest negligence.

After receiving Lin Chenran's affirmation, the senior executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory rose to their feet and applauded.

The applause thundered through the entire conference room.

Three minutes later, Lin Chenran waved his hand, and the applause in the conference room vanished instantly.

The executives all sat down as well.

"Although we have received a three-million order, this is merely an appetizer. Once the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle of our 077 Machinery Military Factory is accepted by more consumers, the orders to come will exceed our imagination."

Lin Chenran quietly reminded the senior executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory present.

This was only a small order. Once the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle built up its reputation, sales would make a qualitative leap.

"Right!"

"Exactly!"

"This is only a small order for now."

The senior executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory echoed in agreement.

Song Xiyun, standing to one side, voiced his concern. "Director Lin, our factory only has so many Type 59 Tanks. Once we fulfill Linjiang Province's order, there will be very few left."
