Chapter 1125 Opening Ceremony
Around 2pm.

After inspecting the construction site, Li Feng stopped for a while at Lao Ge's place and finally waited for the invited "guests".

The factory had called leaders from various departments in Beijing and invited them to attend the afternoon ceremony.

The factory invited a lot of people this time, not only leaders in Dongcheng District, but also leaders in Jingcheng City and many newspapers, all of whom made phone calls.

It's a small bridge, but the construction caused quite a big fuss, which was quite respectful. After all, one unit completed the work independently, and it still won face for the district.

“There is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has the courage to shoulder the responsibility of society and make its own contribution to the progress of the school and the country!”

“I hope that the relevant departments will not forget our steel rolling mill when they need to build bridges in the coming days. We have put a lot of effort into this Red Star Bridge. Of course, for the next bridge, we will still remember the mission of the archives and the government, pass on our efforts, continue to hone our bridge-building technology, and strive to make our own contribution to the country’s bridge cause~!”

"Whoa whoa whoa~!"

There was thunderous applause. After Li Feng finished speaking, he stepped down from the bridge and shook hands with each of the people who came to visit the inauguration ceremony of the Red Star Bridge.

Until finally, everyone took a group photo together by the Red Star Bridge.

The ceremony is completed.

From then on, the name Hongxing Bridge appeared on the map of the capital.

This "child" is quite special to the steel rolling mill. From the moment he was born, he was destined to be held up by the factory and become a prominent presence.

"Bridges can facilitate traffic between the two banks and improve traffic efficiency. On the other hand, they can also be said to be a manifestation of the city's development and progress. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, while completing its duties, also does not forget about livelihood projects and invests in infrastructure construction. This is very good."

"However, we still need to discuss your technology with the city. Road and bridge construction is a long-term project. If there is a suitable one, it will naturally be handed over to you when the time comes~!"

Li Feng understood the meaning of the words and faced the deep concerns of the city leaders. He pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

They have no technical accumulation, no well-known bridge design experts, and no professional construction team. The steel rolling mill itself is in the steel industry. It is good that they have built a small bridge alone, but if the large bridge project is handed over to them, there will still be some concerns.

"I understand. I hope the leaders can give us some opportunities in the future. The steel mill took this step first in the hope of getting the attention of the leaders. The mill is not short of funds, but opportunities to practice technology. If there are other cities that need to launch such bridge projects, I hope we can recommend them to them. We will definitely not embarrass our Dongcheng District, or even Beijing!"

At the construction site nearby in the family quarters, large trucks with their cargo beds filled with rubble had been waiting there for a long time. Following the call, four trucks loaded with rubble from the transport department drove over from the construction site, emitting black smoke.

The roar of the engines was loud, enough to prove how heavy the cargo they were carrying was. As the four trucks approached from afar, both the leaders and the reporters from the newspaper stopped to watch.

"The weight of these trucks, plus the slag they carry, has reached nearly ten tons. Although the design load of this bridge is 20 tons, the actual load redundancy is far greater than this number. Today, the opening ceremony of the Red Star Bridge will show the leaders and the people of Beijing that our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is confident that we can complete every task assigned by our superiors with quality and quantity~!"

After Li Feng finished speaking, he personally directed four trucks to slowly drive onto the bridge. This scene made the leaders look sideways. They did not expect that there would be such a show on this trip.

Some of the timid ones immediately stood by the bridge, but more people chose to trust, just like the deputy factory director was personally in charge, how could someone dare to do such a thing without some skills. The trucks lined up on the bridge also proved what Li Feng had just said.

Leaders may have concerns, but Li Feng used practical actions to prove that although this steel rolling mill was building a bridge for the first time, Li Feng had full confidence in his own products.

The bridge deck did not move at all. After four trucks loaded with rubble drove in, the bridge showed no signs of being overloaded. It seemed that there would be no problem even if a few more trucks came in.

"The material used for this bridge is a new type of steel material newly developed by our steel rolling mill. It is corrosion-resistant, tensile-resistant, and has excellent strength. So leaders, please rest assured that it can bear the load~!"

Witnessing it with one's own eyes is always more effective than Li Feng's earnest persuasion from house to house. Reporters from the newspaper stood on the side of the vehicle, taking pictures of the scene with cameras in their hands.

Words are not enough. Only with photos like this can this inconspicuous bridge at the steel rolling mill be better promoted.

With the departure of the trucks, the capital was destined to have one more design and construction unit capable of independently building bridges. Of course, this was something Li Feng had fought for.

As the leaders left, Li Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been busy until now, and the specific follow-up would only be known after they returned.

Whether we can snatch work from the Engineering Bureau, the railways, and the engineering corps depends on the newspaper reports and whether they are effective.

If only we can drink some of the remaining soup from between our fingers, the steel mills of the future will have the possibility of going further.

As the leaders left, the villagers of Maidian Village who were watching the excitement by the Liangma River bravely walked up to the bridge one after another and looked at it curiously.

They didn't understand why such a small bridge could attract so many leaders in the city.

All the villagers avoided Li Feng a little. They had recognized this young man a long time ago, and the unpleasantness that had occurred before made this meeting a little awkward.

"Let's go, let's go back~!"

Standing on the sparkling Liangma River, this simple Red Star Bridge is destined to go down in history today.

Li Feng, the instigator, was also very tired. Whether it was arranging the cadres in his own factory or arranging so many personnel from other departments, it really took a lot of energy.

After finishing official business, I have to take care of personal matters. I haven't seen my child for more than ten days, and I really miss her.

Returning from Anjiazhuang, Li Feng still took the same jeep he took. Being the deputy factory director was not an easy job for him. Since taking office, he had used the vehicle only a few times.

If there weren't so many people coming from the factory today, the driving school's vehicles would not have been used.

That night, the first photo of the opening ceremony was published in the Beijing Evening News...
