Chapter 55: Small-batch production of stealth combat suits approved.
Zhou Zhanming's family business is also involved in real estate in Xin'an City, and also has other industries. In business, they are competitors with the Qin family.
As the saying goes, rivals are enemies. Due to their competitive relationship, the two sides have often undermined each other in urban planning.
However, on some major issues of principle, such as safeguarding the common interests of the local forces in Xin'an City, they can sit at the same table and drink together.
Zhou Zhanming's feelings for Su Qingyue were no less than Qin Li's, and perhaps even more direct.
On one of Su Qingyue's birthdays, he gifted her a gemstone necklace worth over 6000 million RMB.
In reality, Zhou Zhanming couldn't possibly come up with that much money, but his father was very supportive.
If Zhou Zhanming coveted Su Qingyue's beauty, then his father coveted the Su family's enormous wealth and resources.
Therefore, Zhou Zhanming's father supported his pursuit of Su Qingyue.
In fact, the wealthy families in Xin'an City all have the same idea: the younger ones are eyeing people, and the older ones are eyeing other people's businesses.
However, Su Qingyue didn't even glance at it before retreating.
She has no shortage of money or material possessions, and in terms of financial control, none of the young masters in Xin'an City can compare to her.
Because those rich kids don't have much money at their disposal. Their families can only give them a few million at most, and they have no control over company funds.
But Su Qingyue is different; she has several hundred million yuan in cash flow under her own name alone.
Su Hongyi highly values her abilities in her career and has gradually allowed her to take over the company, making her a powerful figure in Shenhong Group, second only to her father, Su Hongyi.
Even for many major company decisions, Su Qingyue makes the decisions herself without consulting Su Hongyi. Her father, Su Hongyi, approves of this, and her subordinates also know this, so they all assume that Su Qingyue's intentions are Su Hongyi's.
Clearly, this is something those rich young men can't compare to.
Before those young masters formally inherit the family business, they have no way to mobilize the resources of the family enterprise.
It's not that their fathers don't want to, it's that they're worried. If they could really stand up and take charge on their own, those rich kids' fathers would be laughing in their dreams.
At the same time, she also envied Su Hongyi for having such an outstanding daughter in her career, and was glad that she was a daughter. This way, she would not become a rival. If her son could marry her, he would not only be able to integrate the Su family's wealth and resources, but also gain a capable assistant in his career.
Su Hongyi also knew what the families in Xin'an City were thinking. Shenhong Group had been very successful in Xin'an City in recent years, and everyone gave it face. Su Hongyi knew the reason behind this, but he saw through it without saying anything.
……
Three days later, a document about Lin Chuan was placed in front of Zhou Zhanming.
"Ming-ge, this is Lin Chuan's information."
Zhou Zhanming took the documents and looked through them.
Lin Chuan, 26 years old, graduated with two doctorates at the age of 22, and graduated from the same university as Su Qingyue.
In 2007, Lin Chuan co-founded Skyworth Technology with Qiu Zhanfeng. In 2010, Lin Chuan withdrew and started his second business, DeepBlue Technology, in the same year…
"this one?"
After reading Lin Chuan's personal information, Zhou Zhanming sneered and threw the materials aside. "I thought he had some amazing background, but it turns out he's just an ordinary person who dares to dream of climbing the social ladder just because he has a good-looking face."
Zhou Zhanming scoffed at Lin Chuan's background, because that was the only way he could derive a sense of superiority from it.
In other aspects, whether it's talent, education, height, or appearance, they can't compare.
Moreover, he was actually furious inside. While he was cursing the pretty boy, he was secretly envious and jealous of Lin Chuan's handsome and rugged appearance and temperament.
"Where is this pretty boy's company located?"
"In an industrial park north of Xin'an City."
"Find a pretext to get rid of him!"
"Ming-ge, should we tell the old man about this?"
"What are you talking about? Why do I need to talk to my dad about something this small? I can handle it myself."
Upon hearing this, his subordinate wisely kept quiet. Zhou Zhanming sat back on the sofa, picked up his phone, and found a number.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Lin Chuan's delivery and acceptance trip is also coming to an end. This test and acceptance went exceptionally smoothly, and the military is extremely satisfied.
The modified Type 191 rifle, in particular, passed the inspection immediately.
The ergonomics, reliability, and safety assessments were all satisfactory, and the system was ready to enter the finalization process. The military also officially confirmed the approval of the stealth individual combat system, namely the first-generation Shadow combat suit.
As a new type of equipment, it only took 18 months from project initiation to finalization, which is a very fast pace in the field of modern weapon and equipment research and development.
Typically, the process from project initiation to finalization of a new modern piece of equipment can take several years or even more than a decade.
In contrast, completing the process from project initiation to finalization in less than a year and a half demonstrates DeepBlue Technology's exceptionally high R&D efficiency, a testament to the team's unconventional "slow pace" in R&D.
"Comrade Lin Chuan, after research, the military has approved the small-batch production of this stealth equipment, which has entered the initial purchase review and confirmation stage." General Li said to Lin Chuan, "The focus going forward should shift to process stability and supply chain security. The production line needs to pass process certification to ensure that every product meets the technical standards at the time of finalization."
He paused, then added, "Key components, parts, and raw materials also need stable supply sources. Outsourcing manufacturers must also be included in the quality traceability system. Each batch of products must undergo factory inspection, and some must be sent to the testing base for random sampling and verification. In short, production finalization must ensure that manufacturing is fast and stable."
Lin Chuan nodded: "Understood."
General Li clearly took into account that DeepBlue Technology was a company founded by a group of young people and that this was their first time dealing with military products, so he explained it in great detail.
In fact, Lin Chuan knew all of this.
In his previous life, he had been involved in the research and development of many new modern weapons and equipment, both tactical and strategic.
Lin Chuan asked, "Approximately how much is the first purchase?"
"60 sets."
General Li gave the figure, then asked, "When can it be delivered?"
Hearing this, Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and replied, "It should be completed in about three months. If you're in a hurry, we can shorten the time. I'll go back and recruit more people."
Lin Chuan gave three months, based on the current manpower of DeepBlue Technology.
The company only has about 50 people so far. It is already very efficient to be able to produce 60 sets in three months, which means that one set can be completed in an average of one and a half days.
This stealth equipment is inherently difficult to mass-produce because of its complex manufacturing process and the fact that many key steps require manual crafting, making it impossible for industrial machines to complete all the processes.
