When Qi Yan heard this, his pupils constricted in an instant. Even though his acting skills were superb, he couldn't hold back at this time, and said in a gaffe, "The patriots were actually made by our arsenal?"
How is this possible.
You must know that in this era, Huaguo's thermal weapon manufacturing has only just started. Those so-called high-tech weapons that are sold to China from abroad are actually eliminated by foreign countries, and even such weapons, The price charged for selling domestically is still very high.
Those foreigners looked kind and amiable, but inside they were full of wolf ambitions. How could they allow the Chinese to have high-end weapons
It’s not that domestic arsenals haven’t thought about making weapons, but they don’t have blueprints, so they can only imitate foreign weapons to make them. The weapons produced by the arsenal are inferior in quality and inferior to foreign ones in every respect, but even so, the supply of such weapons is in short supply.
Although Qi Yan is not involved in the arms business, he has a lot of knowledge about it. He once spent a lot of money to buy a few exquisite pistols from the corrupt country. He bought it, and he had compared the pistol he bought with those on the market in private, and found that there was a huge difference between the two, whether it was magazine capacity, weight or accuracy.
Foreign countries have developed for many years, and they are far superior to Hua Guo in every aspect, not to mention, in terms of weapon production, they even beat Hua Guo. It’s not that he looks down on Hua Guo, but these are objective facts, and they can be denied even if they want to deny them. .
Recently, some spears called Patriots have appeared in Jinling City. Although he has never seen them, he has heard people say that these spears are powerful. Although there are not many of these spears that have been handed down to the market, their accuracy and magazine capacity They are all much stronger than ordinary guns, and more importantly, the effective range of this long gun is nearly one-third longer than other long guns.
Qi Yan knew a lot of friends, many of them were friends from abroad, and they all inquired in private which country these long guns were made in, and wanted to buy a batch back.
However, no matter how much Qi Yan thought about it, he never thought that these spears called Patriots would be produced by their arsenal. How could this be possible! Qi Yan knows exactly what their arsenal looks like. Although the weapons they manufacture are slightly better than those of other arsenals, they are far inferior to those made in foreign countries. A weapon that every noble foreign ambassador would want to buy
"Father, are you kidding me? How is this possible? I have no other intentions. I just feel that our arsenal does not seem to have such conditions."
The aging of equipment and the shortage of skilled workers are all problems that cannot be ignored. How could weapons like the Patriots be made by their arsenal
Qi Yan still didn't believe it, but now that the facts were in front of him, he couldn't help but believe it. It was impossible for Qi Yuanhao to lie to him.
Seeing the unbelievable look on Qi Yan's face, Qi Yuanhao laughed heartily, he patted Qi Yan's shoulder vigorously, his face was full of complacency: "To be honest, if I didn't see the real thing, I would I won't believe it, but your elder brother has such abilities. I didn't know that he has such a talent in weapon manufacturing. Your elder brother handles the patriot spear from drawing to production. And he also said that if it weren't for the lack of funds, he could produce more advanced weapons."
Qi Yan turned his head to look at Qi Huang, a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his expression and returned to normal.
"Brother, are you so good? But I remember that you didn't like to study before, how did you know how to draw drawings this time?"
Although what Qi Yuanhao said was certain, Qi Yan still remained skeptical, and did not fully believe what Qi Yuanhao said, for no other reason than that although Qi Wang had some talent in military affairs in the past, he was not a person who liked to learn , he felt a headache from reading, and wanted to sleep when he saw the numbers. Part of the reason why his properties were handed over to Qin Minyan was because he was really busy and didn't have time to deal with these trivial things. Part of the reason is because he doesn't like to look at the ledger.
Such a person can actually draw blueprints, and it is also a weapon blueprint. No one will believe it even if it breaks the sky.
Facing the slight suspicion in Qi Yan's eyes, Qi Huang said calmly: "Everyone is subject to change, second brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time, get together less and leave more, how can you know what I will become? "
It seems that there is no problem with these words at first glance, but after careful consideration, there is always some other meaning. Qi Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he was about to say something, but was cut off by Qi Huang .
"Father, let's forget about the matter of wanting my second brother to take the money. The industries under my name are enough to support the operation of the arsenal. What's more, if I can manufacture Patriot One, I can also manufacture Patriot II. When these weapons are taken out for sale, it will generate a large amount of income, and the arsenal can be responsible for its own profits and losses, and it does not need the help of the second brother."
The expression on Qi Yan's face immediately froze, and there was a bit of embarrassment in the dark: "Brother, you misunderstood, I just want to help you, and I don't mean to covet the arsenal."
Qi Yuanhao's face was also a little ugly, and he continued: "Yes, to be honest, the production of weapons cannot be completed overnight. Before the weapons can be officially sold, the arsenal is burning money. Although you have a lot of properties under your name, But you are busy with official duties, and you have to draw pictures to make weapons, and your mother is not good at managing those industries, so you may not be able to turn over the funds on hand."
Qi Yuanhao seemed to care about Qi Huang, and he was full of words that the arsenal was a money-burning thing. Although the munitions can make money, it is not a matter of getting back the money overnight. His property cannot last, so he might as well ask Qi Yan for help.
"The two of you are brothers in your own family, and you should help each other. Do you think this is the reason? A Yan is only paying money, and will not participate in the management of your arsenal. When the weapons can be sold, The two of you brothers will redistribute the benefits, and with me here, Ah Yan will definitely not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have."
Qi Yuanhao felt that he owed Qi Yan, so he wanted to make up for this son, and in his eyes, Qi Yan was good in everything, and there was nothing wrong with him, and he knew his duty, and it was a good idea to invest money in Qi Hua. Why do two brothers care so much about doing good deeds
He thought of everything very well, but how can Qi Wang be controlled by him
"Father, there is no need to mention this matter again. I believe that the second brother has no ambitions, but he is good at business and may not know anything about the arsenal. In addition, he has a lot of property under his name. He is already busy with these things." Here, how can I bother him?"
Speaking of this, Qi Wang suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "By the way, second brother, there are quite a few of you in my several arsenals, and I think they don't know anything about these things. , It’s better not to stay with me, I heard that you are too busy here, so I will let them come back to help you.”
Qi Huang obviously said these words with a smile, but as soon as the words came out, the expressions of the other two people in the room changed suddenly except him.
Qi Yan's face turned pale, and he subconsciously said, "Brother, is there some misunderstanding in this, I didn't..."
The people he put in the arsenal were buried extremely secretly, and those people have been honest and responsible all these years, and have not made any small moves. According to common sense, Qi Wang should not find out. What did he say? mean
And Qi Yuanhao's face also turned blue and white, and the words that praised Qi Yan turned into a loud slap in the face, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Yan, and asked sternly Said: "Ayan, did you really do that kind of thing?"
Qi Yuanhao can turn a blind eye to the matter of placing people in the property under Qi Xuan's name. After all, it is just a trivial matter, and the left and right are nothing but money losses. Both children belong to the Qi family People, whoever gets the money, just flows from the left pocket to the right pocket.
But the placement of people in the arsenal is different. You must know that the four arsenals were handed over to Qi Wang by Qi Yuanhao in the past two years. can be done in time.
Before Qi Wang took over the arsenal, there were already people from Qi Yan in it.
Attacking his brother is completely different from attacking his father, so it's no wonder Qi Yuanhao's face changed.
Qi Yan obviously thought of this too, a thin layer of sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, and a look of panic appeared on his fair face.
"Father, listen to me..."
Qi Yuanhao sneered, and said solemnly: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, I won't let this matter go so lightly."
Seeing that the father and son, who were originally loving and filial, became opposites in an instant, the harmonious and warm atmosphere between the two disappeared, and they even looked a little like enemies.
Qi Huang hooked the corners of his mouth, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
Don't look at Qi Yuanhao's awe-inspiring appearance just now, but in fact, it's just because Qi Yan didn't touch his interests and bottom line just now, that's why he turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye to be a loving father .
Look, once his interests are involved, won't Qi Yuanhao's true face be exposed
This Qi Yan is also pitiful, thinking that Qi Yuanhao has a preference for him, but in fact this preference is limited.
"Father, second brother, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. Robert, the diplomatic ambassador of Sam's country, invited me to drink tea. I have to go to the appointment."
After saying these words, Qi Wang didn't wait for Qi Yuanhao and Qi Yan to answer, and after nodding towards them, he turned around and left.
"Father, listen to my explanation. I didn't. It's my elder brother who misunderstood..."
"Very well, please explain to me carefully, I would like to see what else you have to say."
As the door was closed, the conversation between the father and son was shut inside the room, Qi Wang strode outside without looking back, and disappeared into the twilight within a short while.
***
In the main courtyard of the Qi family, Qin Minyan was lying on the bed sleepily, unable to cheer up.
This general situation appeared when Qi Yutong left, and as she left longer and longer, Qin Minyan's spirit became worse and worse.
The doctor had already come over to look at it, and said that Qin Minyan was fine, it was just a depression in her heart that affected her body, and told her to relax and stop thinking so much.
It's just that Qin Minyan keeps thinking about Qi Yutong, so how can she relax
"Mother Zhang, do you think I did something wrong? I taught Tongtong her innocence to be like that. I didn't want to break her back, but in the end I sent her so far away. My heart ah , it’s really painful.”
Although the Qin family is also a big family in Shaoxing, Qi Yutong will definitely not have a hard time after returning, but it is not her own home after all, and Qi Yutong is a delicate temperament, and she may not be able to adapt there. She and her mother Those people in the family are not very familiar, if she feels uncomfortable, she is embarrassed to say, wouldn't she have to suffer
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable Qin Minyan felt. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was about to cry. Seeing this, Zhang Ma hurriedly comforted her: "Ma'am, don't feel bad, and take care of your body."
Zhang Ma swiftly twisted the veil and wiped Qin Minyan's face, saying: "Ma'am, you are worrying too much, not to mention our status in the Marshal's Mansion, even without this, the masters and ladies of the Qin family are all kind Man, you and your brothers and sisters-in-law have been in contact with each other every year, and you have prepared a thick portion of the ceremony every year, how can they not know how good you are?"
"Besides, our lady, she is actually not as delicate as you think. Although she is a bit naive, she is sincere to others and never has any bad intentions. She is sincere to others, and they can still treat her Is it bad?"
Qin Minyan wiped the corners of her eyes, and said worriedly: "Although that is the case, but, after all, the mountains are high and the waters are far away. Even if she is wronged, what can we do?"
Seeing that Qin Minyan was starting to feel sad again, Mama Zhang secretly sighed, trying to comfort her.
"Madam, don't be like this. If the young master finds out, he should be sad. It was the young master's decision to send the young lady away. He was doing it for the sake of the young lady. If you are like this, do you blame the young master for being troublesome?"
These words are actually a bit presumptuous, but Zhang Ma has watched Qin Minyan grow up since she was a child, and the relationship is extraordinary, and some things can only be said by her. Suffering, she felt sorry for her daughter, so she inevitably felt depressed and couldn't lift her spirits.
Since Qi Yutong was sent away, no matter how busy Qi Huan was, once he came back, he would definitely come to accompany Qin Minyan for dinner. Although Qin Minyan tried his best every time, but the young master is so smart, how can he not see that Qin Minyan's mood is wrong Come
"Ma'am, I know you love Miss, but you can't just think about Miss, and ignore Eldest Young Master. Eldest Young Master is so busy every day, and you have to worry about your affairs. Isn't it a little bad for you to do this?"
This was a bit reserved and euphemistic, but Qin Minyan couldn't understand Zhang Ma's meaning, she was stunned for a moment, her expression froze for a moment, and she quickly realized that she really seemed to be blaming Qi Huang for what she was doing now. .
After all, Qin Minyan didn't agree to sending Qi Yutong away before, and it was only after Qi Wang said that it was not safe for Qi Yutong to stay behind before she agreed. Now that she is like this, how can Qi Wang not think too much
She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, and sat up in a panic: "Mum Zhang, I don't mean to blame Ah Wan, I'm just worried about Tongtong... No wonder he hasn't been in a very high mood when I saw Ah Wan these two days , Is it because I misunderstood that I have an opinion on him... "
As she said that, Qin Minyan hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up, she hurriedly asked Mama Zhang to come over and help her get dressed, she had to explain to Qi Wang, she didn't mean that.
Seeing Qin Minyan turning around in a hurry, Zhang Ma hurriedly stopped her: "Ma'am, don't worry, the young master is not that kind of person. When he comes to accompany you for dinner next time, you can just tell the young master if he wants to." gone."
After being persuaded by Zhang Mama, Qin Minyan slowly calmed down. She sat on the dressing stool and looked at the beautiful woman in the mirror. Qin Minyan couldn't help showing a wry smile on her face.
She never seems to be able to grasp the point, and always hurts the people around her. When Qi Yutong is by her side, she often mentions Qi Wang who is not in front of her. Her words are full of missing him, but when Qi Yutong leaves However, the person she missed became Qi Yutong again.
Could it be that she only misses the person who left her side, but can't see the child who is by her side
Zhang Ma could see that Qin Minyan's mood was not right, but she also knew that what Qin Minyan needed at this time was to think carefully by herself, and it was fine for others to be with her quietly.
"Mother Zhang, I haven't prepared the banquet that I said before. Bring me my notebook, and I'll take a good look at it."
Seeing that Qin Minyan's eyes regained their brilliance, Mama Zhang couldn't help but feel relieved, she responded, and hurried down to get Qin Minyan's notebook.
Self-pity is not in her nature, since she made a mistake, she should think of a way to make up for it, she has to make arrangements, make the banquet beautiful, and strive to give Qi Huangzhang a wife he likes as soon as possible.
Qi Wang who was going to the meeting in the car at this time: "..."
Is it because of the night, why does he feel a little cold
****
In a remote alley, two sneaky people got away from the crowd and secretly met here.
The two muttered and communicated for a while, and one of them suddenly raised his voice.
"Are you sure this news is true?"
"There is nothing wrong with the source of the news, and I guarantee that this news is absolutely true."
"It seems that the plan has to be advanced."
The two didn't communicate for a long time, and they separated soon. The sky over Jinling City was overcast, as if it was a sign that a storm was coming.
As the night deepened, the sudden heavy rain washed the ground, and all traces in the alley were wiped away by the rain. No one found that two people met secretly.
***
"Xu Dadong, I'm fighting with you!"
In the past two days, the pregnant women seemed to be giving birth in a crowd. Xu Shufen was too busy to keep her feet on the ground, but the harvest was gratifying. She delivered a baby to a family that day. It was a rare twin. Xu Shufen was in charge, and Xu Shufen handled things beautifully, and the owner was happy, so he gave the prime minister Xu Shufen a rare and generous gift.
When Xu Shufen came back, she was floating when she walked, thinking about what to do with the money and where to hide it.
After finally returning home, he wanted to hide the cash he earned in the place where he hid money before, but when he opened the stone slab on the ground, he found that there was not even a single copper plate in the wooden box.
Xu Shufen immediately exploded and made a fuss at home.
