Toy factory office.

Xu Fei was reviewing the TEP foreign investment backup files sent by the Palace Bureau. When he heard the leader of the Development and Reform Commission's question, he quickly opened the application for a higher vocational position.

His gaze skimmed over the first few pages and landed on a row of majors related to the Armed Forces...

Xu Fei suddenly remembered that a few days ago, he included engineers in the higher vocational management system and had them take on apprentices as well.

Engineers possessed construction and repair skills, although they only applied to machinery and construction, they were still two major categories.

On a small scale, it could be repairing bicycles or building a small toilet.

On a larger scale, it might be polishing and waxing a helicopter, but those were just minor tasks.

When Principal Liu He was counting the majors, he probably saw too many technical skills listed by the engineers and simply copied and pasted them into the university application.

Of course, it was also possible that Principal Liu He was aware of these Armed Forces majors but didn't pay much attention when filling out the application.

After all, TEP was so powerful, it was normal to have these skills.

Thinking of this, Xu Fei suddenly felt relieved.

"Yeah, TEP is a foreign enterprise with strong capabilities. It's normal to have these things. Whether it gets approved or not is not my concern. I'm just an employee, why should I care?"

Having figured all this out, Xu Fei suddenly felt more confident.

He immediately coughed and said, "Uncle Liang, you didn't read it wrong. It really is about the maintenance and upkeep of tanks."

"..."

"The related courses include the structure and principles of automatic loading mechanisms, track structure and performance, command ceremony fire control systems, synthetic aperture radar technology and interferometric radar technology, and a brief discussion on the difference between reactive armor and composite armor..."

"..."

"Huh? Uncle Liang, are you listening?"

"Xiao Xu, running a school is not a joke. We have to be practical!"

Upon hearing the serious words, Xu Fei also spoke seriously, "Leader, I have already been very restrained."

"..."

"Leader, do you think this can be considered a key discipline or a specialty?"

"..."

The leader of the Development and Reform Commission really wanted to change the topic, but he suddenly remembered what the old leader said: TEP sold advanced diesel engine technology to Northern Industry for 150 million dollars.

He definitely knew what Northern Industry was doing.

He even knew more than anyone else.

Northern Industry used so much foreign exchange to buy a set of diesel engine technology, they definitely wouldn't use it for tractors, but for armored vehicles or tanks.

And TEP, which sold these kinds of things, was definitely an arms dealer.

Now they were trying to attract investment for the school, and they even generously offered potentially "restricted" technology...

This reminded the leader of the Development and Reform Commission of his agreement with Xu Fei: to acquire advanced industrial equipment from overseas.

"It's probably the result of Little Xu's operation."

"Although we haven't obtained the equipment for now, technology is equally important."

"Xiao Xu, you've worked hard!"

"???"

"You don't need to worry about the school anymore, whether it's a key discipline or a specialty. Wait for good news from me!"

Dudududu...

Xu Fei listened to the sound of the phone hanging up and felt a bit confused.

Worked hard?

What does that mean?

Shouldn't I reply that it wasn't hard?

These leaders... they always make things so confusing.

Clearly, they were just discussing the majors a moment ago, and suddenly, there was a 180-degree turn.

Xu Fei couldn't understand it. He sighed and checked his other emails.

One was the TEP foreign investment backup files sent by the Palace Bureau, which was the TEP organizational code he had been longing for.

Another was from Cheng Guang, regarding the Large Swamps Power Plant, with solutions to issues such as electricity pricing, tax refunds, etc.

Once the power plant was built, TEP would be responsible for its operation. However, the electricity generated would have to be sold to the power department, then bought back with money and delivered to their own factories. This process couldn't be avoided, and the value-added tax refund that occurred during this period would also have to go through the process, otherwise, where would the GDP come from?

The other was the approval result of the 3000 mu + 3000 mu + 2000 mu, totaling 8000 mu of industrial land sent by Director Shang.

Xu Fei forwarded the email to the military advisory team and the operations center, asking them to contact the relevant departments.

Afterwards, he went to the stove, lay in the rocking chair, and continued to ponder over the words "worked hard" from the leader of the Development and Reform Commission.

At 10 o'clock in the morning.

Lou Xiaohu called to inform Xu Fei that a Jingcheng 212 and three military trucks had arrived at the toy factory.

...

At the entrance of the toy factory.

Two men in green uniforms, with gun holsters around their waists, were guarding an elderly man in civilian clothes as they got out of the car.

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

The three of them first looked at Ah Jin and Ah Yin in surprise.

During this time, they couldn't help but light a cigarette.

After a long silence, the old man rubbed his old eyes that were flashed by Ah Jin and said, "We really can't learn the culture of foreign enterprises."

"But looking at this strange toad, I feel like I've seen it before." One of the security guards thought for a moment. "Doesn't it look like a bandit's lackey?"

"Now that you mention it, I do feel that way... It's probably an art piece by a famous designer from the toy factory."

As they chatted, ten strong military dogs lined up in an orderly manner, like a small train, swiftly passed through the gate of the toy factory, formed the shape of the character "门" outside, and entered the toy factory again.

The old man and the security guards witnessed this scene and fell into silence once again.

Including the more than thirty men in green uniforms who jumped off the military trucks and were lining up, they were all stunned on the spot.

"Commander, what about these dogs?"

"Damn it, I've been in the military for most of my life, and this is the first time I've been scared."

The old man threw away his cigarette butt, crushed it with his foot, and looked at the young man who was rushing over.

If a person can look fresh and elegant with a shaved head, with an extraordinary appearance.

Then when this person grows his hair, he must be one in a million, so handsome that words cannot describe it.

"No wonder the family behind TEP took a liking to this kid."

The old man recalled the speculation of the staff officer and showed a kind smile, "Xiao Xu, we meet again."

"Old man, you've worked hard all the way."

The two sides chatted and arrived at the meeting room.

The five temporary heaters set up by Wutai had already been turned on in advance.The old man glanced casually, suppressing his curiosity, but then glanced again, "This lamp... no, this lighting device, seems to be the infrared lamp of the Special 72?"

"Your eyesight is as sharp as a torch, you recognized it at a glance. But it's not an outdated infrared halogen lamp, it's a halogen tungsten regenerative lamp with high light efficiency, small size, adjustable brightness, and adjustable power. The internal temperature can reach 600 to 1200 degrees."

"Nonsense, an ordinary halogen tungsten lamp can also be praised by you."

"Are you warm?"

"..."

"I contacted supply and marketing cooperatives from all over the country and made the salesmen run to many appliance stores. I can be sure that this heating device is unprecedented!"

"There is some reason to it. An ordinary halogen tungsten lamp cannot achieve this effect, and ordinary people cannot come into contact with tank infrared lamps... You are cheating, using military products for civilian use."

After despising the old man, he lit a cigarette and changed the topic, "I have been reading foreign military news recently and heard reports that all the executives of your TEP were arrested?"

"Is that so?"

Due to the sufficient implications, Xu Fei subconsciously asked, then his heart trembled, and then he calmed down, "It's a small matter."

"That's good."

The old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he saw the news for the first time, he thought of the "Warsaw Pact" and immediately suspected that TEP, the shell of the United Defense Company, had been exposed.

After all, during this period, China had purchased track, chassis, and diesel engine technologies in two different identities.

These things were not smuggled goods, and it was extremely difficult to break through the layers of obstacles and transport them to China.

If there were any slight traces leaked during this period, let alone TEP, the United Defense Company behind it would probably suffer.

In the past decade or so, including before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there were countless similar examples.

The main purpose of the old man's visit this time was to ensure the safety of the transaction and not to lose this connection forever.

"I will transfer 5 million dollars to your TEP account, and there is no rush for the delivery of the diesel engine."

"No problem, it should be delivered by noon."

In order to cover up this transaction, Xu Fei specially exchanged the basic production line and had it delivered by long-distance logistics.

As for whether there were import documents for the diesel engine removed from the Grizzly tank...

It was normal not to have them, and it would be strange if there were.

The old man seemed to be not very talkative.

The two guards also had no expression and did not participate in the communication.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xu Fei thought for a moment and thought of some devices that were disassembled from light tanks but were not needed by his own company.

For example, the laser rangefinder, the engineer said it could be given to Old Xu's construction site to be used as a ruler.

But how much could the construction site use?

For example, the night vision device, unfortunately, this thing could not be exposed to light sources for more than two minutes, otherwise it could be used for nighttime monitoring.

"Old man, I have some good things here, do you want to take a look?"

Unexpectedly, the old man answered with a different question, "Xu kid, how much are your dogs selling for?"

"Huh?"

"My guards estimated that 500,000 dollars per dog, how about purchasing 20 dogs first?"

"This..."

Xu Fei was very conflicted.

Not because training the dogs required energy.

But because he didn't want others to think of him as the great Factory Director Xu who made his fortune by selling dogs.

But it seemed that the old man didn't want to not sell them.

And, this price was indeed very suitable.

"Lou Xiaohu, pack 20 dogs for the customer."

"Yes, Factory Director!"

"Pick the good ones!" The old man instructed the guards to follow and then said, "What other good things do you have?"

Xu Fei didn't speak, but clapped his hands.

The big horse that had been prepared in advance walked into the meeting room, carrying a yellow woven bag of Stanley compound fertilizer, and poured everything on the conference table.

Ten thousand meters high-precision military-grade laser rangefinder.

Bidirectional stable, three-in-one (day, night, ranging) sight (for gunners).

Bidirectional stable, independent thermal imaging sight (for tank commanders).

Spare upper reverse stabilizing fire control system.

Ballistic computer.

Gun control device.

Military-grade night vision device.

Several pieces of reactive armor.

Then, the big horse went out and brought in a pile of parts.

Loading machine, landing gear, inclined impact hammer, lifting machine components, shell ejection port...

After fiddling with them, an automatic loading machine was formed.

Xu Fei felt very flustered.

Because he had never thought that he would do this kind of business.

But he kept chanting, "I'm just a worker, I'm just a worker."

Not only did he calm down, but he also became bolder.

He took out a metal price tag used in the Three Kingdoms mechanical game from his pocket and placed it on the surface of the many "disassembled parts".

Then he turned his head to look at the stunned old man, "Old man, whichever one you like, you can place an order."

"..."
