Chapter 483 Production Line
At some point, Zhang Xiaoya appeared in the corridor of the garden and happened to hear the conversation between Wu Shaoting and Zhang Zhi.
In addition to the two maids who were familiar to Zhang Xiaoya, she also had her brother Zhang Zhicheng. However, Zhang Zhicheng was a few steps behind, obviously he had just arrived.
When Wu Shaoting and Zhang Zhi turned their heads and looked over, they saw Zhang Xiaoya’s face with serious expressions. Even though her dark eyes were hollow, anyone could feel the strength of this little girl.
At this time, Zhang Zhicheng also came over and said, "I talked to my younger sister before. She has nothing to do in the Governor's Office all day long. Dad, why don't you agree. This time it's a great opportunity. Industry is the basis for whether a country is strong or not. All the Western powers have established their status as a strong country with industrial strength, and even the Japanese in Japan are the same. I have learned so much science and engineering knowledge in the United States, and now it's time to show my strength."
Zhang Zhi glared at Zhang Zhicheng and said angrily: "Has I said no? But you don't know about your sister's situation, how did this make..."
Zhang Xiaoya interrupted her father and said, "Dad, do you really hope that your daughter can't do anything in her life? This is more terrible than her blindness. Her daughter always feels that she can't see things, life is never real, she does nothing in her life, and stays in the dark like this every day. You won't know how terrible this feeling is."
At the end of the day, her voice trembled faintly, as if she was choking.
Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. He always thought he was caring for his daughter, especially after his daughter was blind, and he didn't want her to suffer for half a year, but he didn't seriously consider the problem from his daughter's standpoint. He was silent for a while, finally sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, let's do it according to your wishes."
It was already past ten o'clock when he returned to the official residence that night. It was already very cold in winter in Guangzhou. Wu Shaoting took a hot shower and prepared to go to bed. Zhang Xiaoya only listened to music for a while and couldn't do many things after her eyes were blind. She took advantage of Wu Shaoting's bath, and slowly laid the bed.
After getting into the quilt, Wu Shaoting found Zhang Xiaoya sitting upright and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaoya sighed softly, then smiled again and said, "Thank you."
Wu Shaoting became even more strange: "Thank you for me, why?"
"Actually, during the two months I was in the hospital, I was almost bored. Now I am with you. You are busy with official duties every day, but I do nothing. Today you asked my father to hand over all the industries of our Zhang family to me for supervision. This is what I dream of. I have always wanted to compete with my brother. Why can't a girl's family inherit the family's industries? Not only that, I can find things to do every day, and it's still something I'm interested in." Zhang Xiaoya's voice was very sincere, and her smile was even brighter.
Wu Shaoting simply sat up, gently held Zhang Xiaoya's hand, and sighed:
"I really don't know what I should think after hearing what you said. I think your father is right. You are like this now, and I don't have the heart to let you suffer."
"It's not what you think. I became a housewife at a young age, and that's what I'm suffering and burdened. I'm fighting for my dreams, but it's much better."
Wu Shaoting laughed out loud, then kissed Zhang Xiaoya's little face.
"Since you said that, I feel relieved. Well, it's getting late, go to bed. The weather is so cold, it's not good for you to sit like this." He gently hugged Zhang Xiaoya's shoulder and helped Zhang Xiaoya lie down.
Zhang Xiaoya lay down very gently, then snuggled on Wu Shaoting's shoulder.
"Shaoting, people say that after marriage... between men and women..." Zhang Xiaoya said in a low voice in Wu Shaoting's ear, and she could hear the voice was extremely shy.
When Wu Shaoting heard this, he understood what Zhang Xiaoya meant. He laughed secretly in his heart. It seemed that the girl's love had just begun. He had not fulfilled his family because Zhang Xiaoya was weak. But now he might be too negligent. It has been so long since he has been living together with his bed every day, so he will inevitably have curiosity between men and women.
The next morning, when Wu Shaoting got up, Zhang Xiaoya was still asleep. Looking at his beautiful wife beside him, he smiled knowingly. Just after getting up, a servant from the official residence hurriedly came to inform him that the adjutant Deng Keng had an important report and was waiting in the South Hall. Since he became a family, there were female relatives in the official residence, which naturally became a place of **, and Deng Keng could no longer enter and exit as he used to be.
Wu Shaoting drank a glass of milk as breakfast, and then came to the South Hall.
Deng Keng was waiting in the lobby of the South Hall. When he saw Wu Shaoting coming out, he quickly walked up to meet him.
"Shi Yuan, what's the matter?" Wu Shaoting asked.
"Tingshuai, finally completed. The large factory in the eastern suburbs was completed last evening. The workers did not stop all night and completed all German equipment. At 3:00 this afternoon, the craftsmen and apprentices recruited in the past few months officially started to work. It is expected that thirty Shaoting automatic rifles can be produced in a day. Of course, if the work is full, the ideal situation can reach up to 80 per day." Deng Keng said excitedly. After all, he was in charge of the cooperation with the Germans.
"Is that so? Very good. As you said, those factories can't operate at full capacity?" Wu Shaoting asked.
"Tingshuai, you know that the factory is so big, and there are many craftsmen recruited. Moreover, our military industry is also a military industry, involving many military secrets, and it is impossible for everyone to recruit into the factory. Most of the people who started working this afternoon were apprentices brought from the Guangdong Arsenal, and the others were workers who had been strictly assessed and hired. What's more, the production of eighty units a day is too large, and the supply of raw materials cannot keep up, which is still in vain." Deng Keng explained.
"I also think so. The Germans only hope that we can produce in large quantities, but there are no concerns about many details. I have another plan. This time, ten new production lines have been added, and only five of them are for German production. The other five are used to produce light machine guns, mortars and supporting ammunition." Wu Shaoting said that anyway, light machine guns and artillery runs do not need to be kept so strictly confidential. These will be exported as commodity weapons, and ordinary workers can come in handy.
"Tingshuai, is this appropriate? You must know that the Germans have also sent 37 workers to work here, and there are two supervisors. If they are allowed to know about this, it will be difficult to explain!" Deng Keng said with some concern.
"They won't worry. Andrey hopes that we can produce more weapons as soon as possible. Besides, the extra production line is idle, and we are just a reasonable use. If a foreigner dares to say anything, just ask him to come to me." Wu Shaoting said lightly.
"Okay, I'll write it down." Deng Keng finally had no choice but to nod.
"I have another private matter to talk to you." Wu Shaoting changed his mind and said again.
"Please let Ting Shuai make it clear." Deng Keng was a little curious, not knowing why Wu Shaoting deliberately emphasized private matters.
Wu Shaoting looked around and confirmed that there were no idle people waiting, then lowered his voice and said:
"My father-in-law, Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Commerce, will raise funds to establish a large industrial company in the near future. This company is related to the industrial level of our entire Guangdong, so I will definitely put in a lot of effort to support it. Then you will also raise some money to invest. I will not tell this if you are not trusted. This is a good thing for you, so outsiders should not tell you."
