Order from the Military!

Imperial Capital, General Logistics Department.

Equipment testing centers located across the country have been sending in their latest test data. In conversations with various parties, everyone has given Kunlun Company's X2 thermal fiber exceptionally high praise, a rarity.

Testing supervisor Han Chang could no longer sit still.

After careful consideration, Han Chang decided to report to his direct superior, Ding Songlin.

Time pointed to mid-October. If they acted fast enough, everything would still be possible. They could let the frontline soldiers experience the power of this black technology this winter, be protected and cared for by it, and not have to endure such hardship in the harsh snow and wind.

With this thought, Han Chang stood up and walked towards Ding Songlin's office.

When Han Chang entered the office of the logistics bigwig Ding Songlin, he found the old man looking spirited, placing flags on a large plateau terrain map.

Artillery, infantry, rapid mechanized reserve forces, mountain tank regiments, and air support from the four surrounding airports.

"Han Chang, you've arrived at the perfect time," Ding Songlin boomed. "Do you know about plateau firing tables?"

Han Chang frowned. "You mean the ones that require countless artillery shells fired on the plateau every year? I have to say, that's incredibly expensive."

Ding Songlin laughed heartily. "Some money must be spent! Accurate artillery fire depends entirely on precise firing tables. The plateau environment is different from inland areas; the air is thin, the terrain is complex, and the wind speed is higher."

"That's why we need to collect enough samples and data through continuous firing, and then analyze them to eventually form reliable plateau firing tables."

"Guess what? I just heard that those guys on the other side don't even have plateau firing tables!"

"After all, we've been fighting with Iron Brother in Kashmir for decades. I always thought they would have plateau firing tables too, but they don't!"

"Moreover, intelligence shows that not only do they not have it, but Iron Brother doesn't either. Besides us, no one else in the world possesses this!"

"Since that's the case, it's simple! We'll place an artillery battalion here, here, and here, and then two extended-range artillery battalions capable of firing rockets in the distance, supported by rapid mobile units..."

"When the time comes, if they dare to cause trouble, we'll carpet bomb them with artillery!"

"Hmm, they seem to have quite a few imported 155 mountain howitzers, but don't worry. They don't have firing tables, so their shots won't be accurate. We've finally caught a soft persimmon, so we have to squeeze it hard, bully it to death!"

Sigh~

Han Chang looked at his excited superior and felt speechless. This logistics bigwig should really be leading troops on the front lines; keeping him in logistics to make canned goods was truly a waste of his talents.

Han Chang said, "Constantly talking about carpet bombing with artillery, you're suffering from classic firepower insufficiency phobia."

Ding Songlin chuckled. He didn't mind the younger man joking with him and said very seriously, "Our entire army's firepower insufficiency phobia has reached the advanced stage."

"Sit down. What did you want to see me about?"

Han Chang got straight to the point and told Ding Songlin that a performance-defying thermal technology had suddenly appeared on the market.

As the person in charge, Han Chang had procured a batch within his authority and sent it to several key high-altitude testing locations to evaluate the performance of this new product.

Within a few days, shocking news came from the various testing sites. Everyone involved in the tests had praised this new thermal technology without reservation, causing quite a stir in the evaluation department.

Feeling the matter was important, Han Chang didn't dare to delay and went directly to his superior to report.

"Is it really that amazing?" Ding Songlin frowned, finding it a bit hard to believe Han Chang. "If what you say is true, this technology should have caused a sensation long ago."

Han Chang handed a stack of evaluation results from various locations to Ding Songlin. "The X series fiber wasn't invented by a major manufacturer, but by a very small private enterprise in Jiangnan, so it was at a disadvantage from the start."

"There's quite a stir within the chemical fiber industry. Those international giants are even uniformly lowering their prices to target this company called Kunlun."

Ding Songlin nodded and picked up the reports, examining them in the sunlight.

Gradually, Ding Songlin's expression became solemn. When he placed the documents back on the desk, his eyes were slightly moist.

"Border defense isn't about sitting in rooms playing on phones; it also involves standing guard and patrolling," Ding Songlin sighed. "Two point two million kilometers of land territory, thousands of boundary markers and sentry posts. Regardless of the season, someone must always guard and patrol."

"This product is good, very good! If it can be equipped on the front lines, it will greatly improve the survival conditions of our soldiers in harsh environments. Not only is it warm, but it's also very lightweight, exactly what we need!"

"How about this: you personally go to Jiangnan and discuss cooperation with the manufacturer."

"The heavy snow has already started to block the mountain passes, so speed is essential!"

"Strive to get it to the front lines as soon as possible. As for other troops, we can take our time, but solving the problem for the front lines is urgent!"

When Gao Yuan heard that someone from the General Logistics Department was coming to see him, he was actually a bit nervous. After all, their background was immense.

On this day in mid-October, Gao Yuan finally met Han Chang. Han Chang was wearing casual clothes. If Gao Yuan hadn't known the inside story beforehand, he would never have associated this handsome man with glasses with the military.

During their conversation, Han Chang was approachable. He didn't directly discuss procurement but instead showed great interest in Kunlun Company's business.

"When I came, I specifically learned some information. The entire materials chemistry community believes your invention has the potential to win a Nobel Prize and is a black technology capable of rewriting history."

"But it seems you've also encountered some trouble. International giants are very wary of your technology and are willing to significantly lower their prices just to prevent you from capturing the market?" Han Chang asked curiously.

Gao Yuan smiled. "My partners and I firmly believe that technology is a force that can change the world. As for our competitors, there's really nothing we can do about it; their strength is truly immense, and they can mobilize a vast amount of resources."

"Our current sales are actually steadily increasing, just not as fast as anticipated. Based on the current market expansion, it might take us two to three years to capture the global market and secure the largest market share."

Han Chang nodded slightly. As the old saying goes, even the best wine needs no bush, but even the best products and technologies need promotion and time for consumers to gradually accept them.

Han Chang felt that if it truly took two to three years for global promotion, as Gao Yuan suggested, to become the best-selling thermal fiber in the world, that speed was already quite astonishing.

However, Gao Yuan didn't think so. The system's requirements were very clear: to sweep the global market. Only after the reshuffle was completely finished would the system begin its new journey.

Three years here, three years there. Life is short; how many three-year periods can one afford to waste?

Gao Yuan was an ambitious person. He wasn't just thinking about making money; he wanted to do more.

In his opinion, it was too slow to achieve market reshuffling with X series fiber in three years; they had to find a way to speed up this process.

Gao Yuan and Han Chang were both straightforward people. After a brief understanding of each other, they got straight to the point, discussing cooperation methods and, most importantly, pricing.

As for supply, with the secret assistance of an old man within the high walls of the Imperial Capital, it was no longer a problem for Gao Yuan.

What came out of the factory was just fiber yarn. That material couldn't be directly made into clothing; they needed to find a fabric mill to weave the fiber yarn into bolts of fabric.

During this process, they could choose the yarn count, whether to brush the nap, and the weave, such as plain or twill.

Additionally, the fabric needed to be dyed. According to military requirements, it would be dyed army green, jungle camouflage, desert camouflage, snow white, and so on.

As everyone knows, the Shaoxing region, where Kunlun Company is located, is the largest fabric processing base in the country, and even the world. Therefore, there would be no problems with production.

Once the fabric was ready, it would be handed over to factories directly under the General Logistics Department to be made into military uniforms.

Of course, private enterprises could also handle this step, but the General Logistics Department had enormous production capacity and didn't seem to need it.

The cooperation process was quickly settled, and then came the most crucial issue: pricing.

Gao Yuan was unexpectedly easy to talk to. He agreed to give the military a 30% discount on the original ex-factory price. In other words, X1 and X2 fiber yarn would cost 21,000 yuan per ton. X2 fiber plush, due to its high process requirements and low yield, was more expensive, selling for 42,000 yuan per ton.

Supplying the military at cost price was impossible. Firstly, it wouldn't align with a market economy. Secondly, Gao Yuan needed a lot of money right now to expand and strengthen his enterprise.

After all, only by expanding the enterprise could they attract talent. With more talent, they could accelerate research and development, which would lead to better products and ultimately capture the market. This was a virtuous cycle.

Even when facing the most beloved people, one couldn't do business at a loss. A 30% discount was already a great show of sincerity.

"Young Boss Gao is indeed straightforward! Then it's a deal!" Han Chang stood up and shook hands with Gao Yuan. "The speed must be fast. The front lines are already experiencing heavy snow blocking the mountain passes. If this batch goes well, the subsequent orders will be unimaginably huge! To be honest with you, our procurement scale always starts in the millions."

Gao Yuan was slightly taken aback, a look of longing on his face.

After all, it was the military. If they truly entered the military's supply system, a million-order deal might just be Han Chang's modest way of putting it.

Furthermore, entering this supply system would bring unprecedented word-of-mouth and advertising effects, potentially triggering an unimaginable craze!

I've been to Country A before. Going down the southern slope of the Himalayas, through Nepal, and then to Varanasi in India, the location of the Ganges River.

As a result, I started coughing as soon as I entered India, developed a fever when I saw the Ganges River, and was critically ill by the time I reached Kolkata. I had no choice but to flee home in a panic.

Since then, I've often visited the South Asian subcontinent. Every time I see Country A still being so hopeless, I feel very gratified.
