P.S.: The previous chapter has been unfrozen.
Two weeks later, the buzz surrounding Zhao Ye's wedding had died down.
It's unusual that major media outlets haven't reported on Zhao Ye's wife's background, probably out of fear of being censored.
However, based on snippets of information from the media, it is possible to roughly guess that the woman has an extremely powerful background.
Since Zhao Ye married Li Aojun, he has been completely integrated into the domestic bureaucratic ruling class.
He used to be just a businessman, but now he has military and political connections.
Wujiang Group's business in China has become smoother, and its cooperation with the military and government sectors has been deepened.
With the help of his father-in-law, companies such as Tiangong Technology, Yinhe Technology, Wujiang Microelectronics, Wujiang Communications, Wujiang Network, and Wujiang Computer have all gained the opportunity to enter the military industry.
For example, military fighter jets, military helicopters, military off-road vehicles, designing and manufacturing firearms...
Recently, Wujiang Group's newly established subsidiary, Wujiang Ordnance Manufacturing Co., Ltd., became the first private firearms manufacturer in China, holding 60% of the shares and the military holding 40%.
Starting in the 1990s, the concept of modular rifles, namely the idea of "one rifle for multiple uses", was proposed.
The term "modular rifle" refers to a rifle whose components are scientifically combined and modularized according to the overall structure of the firearm. Users can assemble the parts of the firearm as needed. This type of rifle can be used not only as an assault rifle, but also as a light machine gun and a designated marksman rifle.
Zhao Ye himself is very fond of guns, which is why he founded [Boundless Arms Manufacturing Co., Ltd.], and he also hopes that his Guardians of the Galaxy team in Africa can use rifles developed by his company.
Zhao Ye used computer graphics software to draw two classic rifles and asked the developers to study them.
One is the Mk18 close-combat rifle used by various special forces in the United States. This rifle has a shorter barrel, making the weapon more compact. This makes it easier to use inside and around vehicles and in confined spaces, making it suitable for special operations in narrow terrain.
Another option is the Belgian SCAR assault rifle. The SCAR is essentially a modular weapon with interchangeable barrels. It can meet various tactical needs and greatly improves combat effectiveness. Both the light and heavy models can be equipped with three different barrels. Furthermore, the SCAR-L will also be equipped with an additional barrel to fire Soviet/Russian 7.62x39mm ammunition.
The Wujiang Group is full of talented people. Many of the mechanical designers originally came from the Soviet Union and had worked in firearms design. Therefore, after the establishment of Wujiang Ordnance Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the company had a strong technical foundation. After Zhao Ye pointed out the direction and requirements for opening up, the mechanical designers were naturally able to design very advanced rifles.
Zhao Ye himself also expressed his expectations for these two rifles, not only because they could be sold to the national military, but also because they could be exported, generating considerable profits.
In addition, a company that can produce rifles can still exert a certain degree of influence over some local bullies in Africa.
If Galaxy Mining Group doesn't have a strong enough security force when it goes to mine in Africa, it will definitely be bullied.
Rifles, off-road vehicles, helicopters, and more will all be standard equipment for the Guardians of the Galaxy.
If African bandits dare to cause trouble, Galaxy Mining Group will directly send out the Galaxy Guardians to retaliate and wipe them out.
Zhao Ye has big ambitions; he wants to train the Guardians of the Galaxy into the most powerful mercenary force in the world. Are you scared yet?
In the future, Zhao Ye will also send the Guardians of the Galaxy into outer space to protect the safety of the space base and participate in the space battle!
We must make the Guardians of the Galaxy the most powerful special forces force in the galaxy!
...
It was the beginning of the new year in 1996.
Financial reports from subsidiaries of Wujiang Group have been released one after another.
Wujiang Group achieved another brilliant year in 1995, especially with the opening of the US market, which brought huge profits to Wujiang Group.
Wujiang Group's total revenue exceeds US$365.2 billion, encompassing computer and software sales, gaming, e-commerce, electronics sales, semiconductors, network equipment, department store retail, automobiles, finance, real estate, telecommunications services, and more.
In 1995, Walmart achieved annual revenue of $93.6 billion. However, the combined annual revenue of Wujiang Group's department store retail and e-commerce businesses was twice that of Walmart supermarkets, approaching $200 billion!
That year, India's GDP was only $360.27 billion, surpassed by Wujiang Group's annual revenue, but ranked 15th in the world in terms of total GDP.
China's GDP broke through $6.2 trillion, closing in on the US's $7.1 trillion.
Wujiang Group spent 11 years driving China's rapid economic take-off, which is truly terrifying.
At this time, China was not only a manufacturing powerhouse, but in some areas, it could even be considered a manufacturing superpower.
Semiconductors, communications, networks, computers, games, software development and design, and more – China is stronger!
Even in the field of precision manufacturing, Tiangong Technology has made outstanding contributions, with its low-end CNC machine tools aggressively seizing the global market, leaving Japanese, American and European companies scrambling to compete.
Tiangong Technology has also made great progress in high-end CNC machine tools and may achieve breakthroughs at any time.
The more prosperous China's economy is, the more international speculative capital it will attract to invest in China.
Historically, the United States was actually experiencing an economic recession in the 1980s, and even faced the crisis of being overtaken by Japan. It only began to prosper again in the 1990s, mainly due to the rapid development of high-tech industries, represented by information technology.
