Three Birds with One Arrow!!!

Song Xiyun's words plunged Lin Chenran into deep thought.

Indeed, 077 Machinery Military Factory did not have many Type 59 Tanks on hand.

If they resumed production of Type 59 Tanks, it would not be cost-effective for 077 Machinery Military Factory.

As for 077 Machinery Military Factory's lack of spare Type 59 Tanks, Lin Chenran had long thought of a solution.

They could acquire the Type 59 Tanks held by the military at an extremely low price.

Of course, that required powerful backing.

And Lin Chenran happened to have deep connections.

Lin Chenran's grandfather still held a post in Flame Nation's military.

And his position was not low.

Then there was the modification of Type 59 Tanks into Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicles.

For the military, that brought only benefits and no drawbacks.

Even if Lin Chenran did not have such powerful backing, as long as he submitted a report.

The military would actively support Lin Chenran and sell their outdated, aging Type 59 Tanks to him at an extremely low price.

It could not be helped. The military also wanted to upgrade and optimize the tanks in its possession.

If war broke out, using tanks from the 1950s to challenge another country's modern tanks would undoubtedly be toying with soldiers' lives.

No matter how fearless Flame Nation's soldiers were or how strong their combat capabilities might be.

Before absolute power, they would still appear exceedingly small.

"Those who fall behind will be beaten" was a famous saying passed down from their forebears.

"Old Song, I'll discuss cooperation regarding the Type 59 Tanks with the military."

Lin Chenran spoke with great confidence.

Song Xiyun understood immediately.

So he had been worrying for nothing.

He knew about Lin Chenran's backing.

Of course, Song Xiyun could also contact the military. After all, he held a place in Flame Nation's military-industrial sector.

Since the "raw materials" were already practically secured, all they had to do now was ensure that 077 Machinery Military Factory's workshops continuously produced Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicles.

"Director Lin, I still have a question." The speaker sounded somewhat uneasy, as though worried he might say something wrong.

At Lin Chenran's calm gesture, he continued, "It concerns the after-sales repair issue our factory is currently facing."

"Although a small number of engineers in the factory can already provide after-sales service support."

"According to what you said, Director Lin, sales of the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle will soon become extremely hot."

"Relying solely on the current number of after-sales engineers at 077 Machinery Military Factory, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle the massive repair demand."

Hearing this, Lin Chenran felt that the senior executive was right.

"Old Li, you're absolutely right. We really need to prepare for trouble before it happens."

"We need to prepare a large group of outstanding after-sales repair engineers for the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle in advance."

"Otherwise, once the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle has been sold in large quantities, it'll be too late to start preparing after-sales repair engineers."

Lin Chenran humbly sought Li Shuye's advice. "Then what do you think we should do?"

Li Shuye fell into thought. After considering it briefly, he slowly spoke and laid out his ideas one by one.

"Hmm, I think we can try looking for suitable candidates among retired tank crewmen."

"After all, aside from people like us who have a deep understanding of the Type 59 Tank, tank crewmen are the most familiar with it."

"They spent every day with the Type 59 Tank, and most of the time, they were also responsible for its repairs."

"Therefore."

Li Shuye answered calmly.

This would undoubtedly benefit 077 Machinery Military Factory.

The same was true for the military.

More importantly, it could provide retired tank crewmen with highly desirable employment opportunities.

This could truly be called killing three birds with one stone.

Every party could profit from it.

Following the old man's order, Flame Nation had launched an unprecedented military downsizing campaign, reducing its forces by more than a million personnel.

Now, 077 Machinery Military Factory could provide excellent jobs for some retired tank crewmen.

This would ease the pressure faced by the military.

Flame Nation's military would be one hundred percent willing.

Later, as the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicles produced by 077 Machinery Military Factory became hot sellers, the after-sales repair engineer team would inevitably continue expanding, and even more retired tank crewmen would be needed.

Of course, if they did not choose to join 077 Machinery Military Factory as after-sales repair engineers.

Opening their own engineering vehicle repair shops would also be a good choice.

"Old Li, your proposal really is excellent."

"We can indeed consider those retired tank crewmen." Lin Chenran smiled faintly and spoke softly.

"These retired tank crewmen have extensive experience and highly skilled techniques. With a little training, they can become outstanding after-sales repair engineers for the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle." His eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.

"But..."

Li Shuye hesitated. There were difficulties involved that Lin Chenran needed to resolve.

"Old Li, please rest assured."

"After the meeting, I'll report the specific details to the higher-ups."

Lin Chenran responded in a calm yet resolute tone.

His face remained completely unruffled, as though everything was under control.

To him, this matter posed no difficulty whatsoever.

For Flame Nation's military, this matter would bring countless benefits and not a single drawback. They truly had no reason to refuse.

After hearing this, Li Shuye gave it some thought and felt that it was indeed true.

The worries in his heart instantly vanished, and he relaxed completely.

This meeting lasted for two hours.

The meeting not only covered 077 Machinery Military Factory's acquisition of a three-million-unit order from Linjiang Province.

It also discussed recruiting a group of retired tank crewmen as after-sales repair engineers for the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle.

As the meeting concluded successfully, the senior executives of 077 Machinery Military Factory left the conference room with delighted smiles and light steps.

The tremendous success of the Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicle finally lifted the heavy stones weighing on everyone's hearts, leaving them greatly relieved.

After Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun left the conference room, they returned to the director's office together.

Upon entering the office, Lin Chenran personally poured Song Xiyun a steaming cup of tea.

He gently placed the cup before Song Xiyun, his eyes full of respect and gratitude.

"Old Song, while I was away from 077 Machinery Military Factory, you really worked hard, busying yourself with everything at the factory."

Lin Chenran's voice was low and sincere.

Song Xiyun smiled faintly and waved a hand. "It's what I should do."

"You've worked even harder, running around outside to secure orders."

"Without your hard work, how could the Linjiang Province authorities have placed an order with our factory for three million Type 59 Civilian Engineering Vehicles?"

Song Xiyun lifted the teacup and took a small sip before slowly setting it down.

"Everyone has worked hard!"

Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun exchanged smiles.

Laughter immediately echoed through the office.

Dear foster fathers, please save the story and keep reading.
