Building a Technological Power Starting with the Type 59 missile and Going Astray in Technological Development

首先，他想向林宸然了解一下情况：760匹马力的四冲程V型12缸V-46柴油发动机是否可以出售给617机械军工厂，并应用于80式坦克？
The final result made Mr. Zhu very satisfied.

Because Lin Chenran agreed to provide this powerful engine to the 617 Mechanical Military Factory to equip their Type 80 tanks.

Mr. Zhu’s second task is related to exporting arms overseas.

In fact, not only the top management of the 617 Mechanical Military Factory, but all the third-line military factories in Yan Country envied and longed for the successful arms sales of the 077 Mechanical Military Factory.

This envy became even stronger when he learned that the 077 Mechanical Arsenal had reached a cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia in the Camel region.

Although the specific amount of cooperation is still unclear, when people mention the Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region, they know that this cooperation must involve huge amounts of money.

After all, the phrase ”I am the richest man in the world with only a piece of cloth on my head” is not just empty talk.

”Mr. Zhu, your 617 Machinery Military Factory is the top tank manufacturer in the country, you should not be short of orders!”

Lin Chenran looked at Mr. Zhu and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Although the military budget cuts of the Yan State military have led to a decrease in arms orders, the 617 Mechanical Military Factory, as a long-established tank manufacturer in Yan State, should not be short of orders!
After all, with Mr. Zhu’s status and ability, it should be easy for him to get these orders.

Thinking of this, Lin Chenran couldn’t help but sigh: ”With Master Zhu here, everything will be easy!”

After hearing what Lin Chenran said, Mr. Zhu shook his head with a smile and said, ”Little Lin, do you think so too?”

Lin Chenran nodded and replied as a matter of course: ”That’s right, there are only a few major tank manufacturers in the country.”

He thought to himself that large factories have their own advantages. With advanced technology, excellent design teams and good reputation, most of the domestic tank orders would be monopolized by large factories like the 617 Mechanical Arsenal.

However, Mr. Zhu suddenly laughed, his laughter was hearty and heroic. He then said, ”Lin, you should know that even if our 617 Machinery Military Factory wins the bid for the military’s second-generation main battle tank, we can only get an initial investment of million from the military.”

After saying that, Mr. Zhu quietly observed Lin Chenran’s reaction, with a smile and expectation flashing in his eyes.

When Lin Chenran heard the news, he was shocked for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: ”What?”

Lin Chenran raised his voice by eight degrees and asked, ”Only 20 million in the early stage?”

His eyes were full of confusion and shock as he looked at Mr. Zhu, not believing what the other person said!
”US dollars or Yanbi?” Lin Chenran asked immediately, with a nervous look on his face.

If it was US dollars, it would be barely acceptable, but if it was Yanbi, it would be too much.

Although the Type 80 tank is not the best among the second-generation main battle tanks, it is hard to accept that only million was allocated for its research and development in the early stage.

”What do you say?”

Mr. Zhu asked directly.
