The conference room was eerily quiet. The three bosses didn't speak, and Qin Shi could only stand there quietly, thinking about how to give them advice.
The arresting cable is an important arresting tool on an aircraft carrier, but as a person reborn from the future world, Qin Shi knows a secret that no one else knows.
That is, China actually has the ability to produce arresting cables, but it has never been discovered, so it has been suppressed by the United States in this regard for many years.
The manufacturer of this arresting cable is called...
"What was it called?" Qin Shi only remembered that it was a private enterprise, but he couldn't remember the specific name. After all, the Third World War had already broken out at that time. It was just a manufacturer of arresting cables and could not play a decisive role.
But for China today, it is not just about saving some money. Any spark, given enough time, can ignite a prairie fire.
It’s a pity that although Qin Shi works in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, he can’t remember the name of that company at all.
"Old Liu, calm down. We didn't expect this result. Since the Russians have rejected it, I'm talking to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see if the Eagle Sauce can offer a lower price. Thirty million per stick is really too expensive!"
To outsiders, the people in the Ministry of Finance seem to be spending money like water, but only insiders know that the Ministry of Finance’s money is not spent casually. It is watched by the people of the whole country every day.
"That's all we can do for now. I know this cable is a consumable, but I really can't live without it!"
Officer Liu also expressed helplessness in the face of the Finance Department's response, and then directed his anger to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
"My friend, I still have to say you, if China could make it, would we have to suffer so much?"
"Old Liu, it's not easy for me either. You see that China seems to be thriving, but many technologies are being held back by foreigners. You work hard, but it's difficult for us too!"
Important figures from three important parts of the country are now complaining to themselves because they feel inferior to others because of a product.
"Leaders, with all due respect, I don't think we absolutely have to import. Our country's existing industrial system is already very complete. Why don't we look for opportunities within our own companies?"
Seeing that the three people stopped arguing, Qin Shi hurriedly put forward his own opinion.
"You are...Oh, Xiao Qin, right? There's nothing for you to do now, go back!"
Minister Tie understood the thoughts of his subordinates, but the country had no experience in this kind of thing. The technology alone was twenty years behind that of the Americans. It was not an easy task.
"Let's try our best. What if there is some useful information? We can't always be strangled by foreign countries!" Seeing that Minister Tie didn't believe it, Qin Shi hurriedly continued to persuade him.
It would have been inappropriate for Qin Shi to say a word in this situation, and now he is still asking questions, which is really rude.
But Qi Tian knew that this was just like a man having an affair. Once you missed it, you really missed it.
"That's right, Lao Liu, you should also look for it in China. Even if there is nothing, spread the word. We have to deal with it in the future!"
"Yes, if you need any money, you should bring it up this year so I can prepare it for you in advance. At worst, you can just put up with it for a few years. Once you develop the technology, we can turn things around!"
Seeing that people from the other two departments had spoken, Minister Tie didn't know what to say. Although he knew very well that the country did not have the strength, he still had to have faith.
"Okay, Xiao Qin, I'll leave this matter to you. Go promote it and explain the importance of this thing to the people below. This will also give you a chance to gain experience!"
"Hey buddy, we're going to sign the contract with Eagle Sauce next Monday. If you really have any news, please let us know in advance!"
"Okay, okay! Come on, have some tea! Xiao Qin, go get busy!"
Minister Tie drank some tea with the two men before sending them away. By this time, he had long forgotten the task assigned by Qin Shi.
As the leader of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are so many things to do in a day that he can't count them all. As soon as he sees people off, he goes into another meeting room and continues to be busy.
But Qin Shi didn't care. He rushed back to his workstation immediately and drafted a bidding document.
Today is already Wednesday. If we don't hurry up, the Ministry of Defense will sign a contract with the Americans on Monday.
When it was almost time to get off work, Qin Shi came to Director Lu's office with the documents. For a small bidding lot like this, Director Lu only needed to sign and confirm it.
"Xiao Qin, what kind of bidding is this? Why is the number not in the system?" Director Lu looked at the unfamiliar bidding document, especially the content on it, which puzzled him.
"Is this the steel cable that Minister Tie and the others talked about during the day?" Director Lu asked quickly before Qi Tian could say anything.
"Yes, Minister Tie personally sent a message this morning, asking for cooperation from the country. I've been busy all day, and it needs to be done before next Monday!"
"It's already Wednesday today, how can you still make it in time?" Director Lu looked up at Qin Shi.
"There's nothing I can do. I also said it couldn't be completed. As a result, Minister Tie scolded me in front of the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Finance. I just delivered a document, how did it cause such a trouble? Why don't you go and explain it to Minister Tie!" Qin Shi also looked embarrassed and reluctant.
Although Qin Shi had only been working for a year, he remembered that he had worked in the government system of the previous world for more than ten years. If he wanted to accomplish something like this, he must have some means.
If we follow the normal process, this tender will not be approved in half a month!
"I'll go find..."
Qin Shi's words made Director Lu feel troubled. It was obviously other departments that were causing trouble, and he couldn't handle it, so he took it out on his subordinates. If he really went to complain to Minister Tie, he would be regarded as a typical example of lazy governance.
"Forget it, let's not get into this bad luck. I'll make the call myself!"
Qin Shi used his position as minister to organize a bidding activity, and then Lu Changqing actually managed to get it done before leaving get off work.
"The bidding will be posted online tomorrow morning. Xiao Qin, keep an eye on it. I'll leave the follow-up to you. I'm on a business trip tomorrow!"
Lu Changqing knew exactly what was going on, and he didn't want to get involved in this mess. Xiao Qin was the perfect candidate to take the blame.
"Don't worry, Director Lu, I will definitely keep an eye on it myself!"
Qin Shi completed one thing on the first day he returned to fifteen years ago, but it is unknown how much deviation this thing will cause in the trajectory of history.
Can China complete its transformation before the Third World War?
Qin Shi didn't know what his actions could bring to China, but he had no golden fingers and no technology tree, so he could only rely on his frail body to find a way to prevent China from hitting the oncoming iceberg.
The road is long and getting harder.
