Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle.

Chapter 155: Mr. Wu asks for help, Yang Ning is on a business trip to Shanghai (Subscription Request)

When comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade came to them to negotiate, Lou Shouxing himself did not expect that he would be able to get such a large market share.

Although it seems that the economic conditions in the area represented by Mr. Huo are better now, Lou Shouxing, who has connections with both Jiaobenji and the principal, has his own unique judgment.

Although the current economic conditions of Jiaobenji and the principal's place cannot compare to Hong Kong and Las Vegas, the education level in Jiaobenji is obviously higher than other places. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in Asia.

As for the principal, since becoming the master of the island, he has attached great importance to the cultivation of talents.

Although there is not much effect now, Lou Shouxing can judge with his businessman's acumen that as long as there is no trouble in these two places, the economy will be able to develop quickly.

Considering the relationship between these two places and us, although the cost of opening up the relationship between the two places is very high, it is totally worth it.

Lou Shouxing didn't believe that our leaders above us didn't see this.

Just when he was feeling confused, the leader of the Foreign Trade Department mentioned Yang Ning vaguely, and he suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was because of this. Although he had guessed that Yang Ning was extraordinary from what he had seen at Yang Ning’s wedding, he was still shocked by Yang Ning’s influence.

Just so that Yang Ning could work with peace of mind, the higher-ups actually gave him such a generous gift.

Then he shook his head and smiled helplessly. No matter how influential Yang Ning was, he would have little to do with his family in the future.

When they returned to Hong Kong with the agency contracts, John Bull could no longer sit still. After making inquiries, the businessmen repeatedly guaranteed the rights of these people and asked them to act as matchmakers, and they also obtained the agency rights in Europe and the United States.

But this time there is only one product called "Shenbao".

However, this also made these John Bull merchants very satisfied. After all, the biggest market for this thing is in Europe and the United States. Is there any place where people can play more extravagantly than in these two places?

But none of this mattered to Yang Ning, as he was called to the Atomic Research Institute by Dean Qian.

In Dean Qian's office, in addition to Yang Ning and Dean Qian, Mr. Wu, who was responsible for the research of Type A separation membrane technology, was also there.

Type A separation membrane technology, as the heart of atomic bomb technology, has always been a technology that Big Brother has kept absolutely secret.

Even if Big Brother is willing to support our research on the atomic bomb in a few years, he will definitely not agree to hand over this technology to us, let alone now.

When we decided to research the atomic bomb ourselves, we handed over the research of this key technology to Mr. Wu.

Shouldn't he be in Shanghai now? Why is he in Beijing?
"Okay, Mr. Wu, Comrade Yang Ning is here. If you need any help from him, just tell him."

After asking Yang Ning to sit down, Dean Qian looked at Mr. Wu and said.

At this time, Mr. Wu looked at Yang Ning with embarrassment.

"Comrade Yang Ning, I came here to ask for help. I heard that you know welding technology?"

"I understand a little bit. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me. After all, we are all working towards the same goal now."

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight!" After hearing Yang Ning's words, Mr. Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You also know that our institute has taken on the task of researching Type A separation membranes. However, during the research process, we found that the common welding technology used in the past could not meet the design requirements. We would like to invite you to come over and see if there is any solution?"

"Let me go to Shanghai?"

After hearing what Mr. Wu said, Yang Ning himself was also a little moved.

After all, the farthest place he had been to since traveling through time was Hongdu a few years ago.

And that time was also to solve the welding problem of the fuselage.

No wonder it is said that the five elements of the south are fire. Otherwise, why do companies in the south always ask me to do welding when they hire me?

"Mr. Wu, I personally have no objection to this matter, but you also know my situation, so I'd like to trouble you to report this to the higher-ups."

Yang Ning smiled and said to Mr. Wu that if he didn't need approval from above every time he traveled, he would have wanted to pack up his bag and leave with Mr. Wu right now.

Shanghai! That’s the Magic City. In his previous life, Yang Ning wanted to go there many times to experience the charm of this metropolis.

But every time he was short of money, he was unable to make the trip until he traveled through time.

How could he not be excited when he had the opportunity to go there on a business trip this time.

"Don't worry, I will arrange it!" When Mr. Wu heard that Yang Ning agreed, he felt relieved.

Because the research on Type A separation membrane technology is related to the separation of uranium 235, the raw material for atomic bombs, Mr. Wu's application was approved soon after it was submitted.

It was the same team that went to Hongdu last time. Taking Yang Ning's situation into consideration, they simply sent Hu Yinghong along to take care of her daily life.

As for the second weirdo, well, if Hu Yinghong hadn't mentioned that once the two of them left, there would be no one to take care of the second weirdo here, Yang Ning would have almost forgotten about this guy.

Yang Ning thought about it and finally asked his mother to pick up Erguai and take care of him every day, and Hu Yinghong's electric car was given to his mother for use first.

If Erguai is left here alone, he will tear the sky apart. "Mom, you will have to work hard every day from now on!"

When his mother came to pick up Erguai, Yang Ning looked at his mother who was holding the electric bike and said guiltily.

"Okay, just take care of yourselves. You don't have to worry about things at home!" The mother waved her hand, rode her electric bike and left with the dejected Erguai.

"Okay, let's go home and pack up. We'll leave early tomorrow morning. Mr. Wu is getting anxious waiting."

Looking at the backs of his mother and the second monster as they left, Yang Ning whispered to Hu Yinghong.

Early in the morning of the third day, Yang Ning and two other people boarded a train heading south.

The road was filled with smoke and all that was seen was a desolate scene. Hard-working people were welcoming the new sprouts that had just broken through the soil, cracking whips and shouting at the oxen pulling the plows. Their loud voices were filled with anticipation for a good harvest.

The straight rows of freshly turned soil in the fields exuded a faint earthy smell, as if they were the traces of their lives.

You can often see groups of women and children carrying bamboo baskets and holding small shovels, looking for wild vegetables on the ground.

Although people's clothes were worn out, everyone's face was filled with a smile that came from the heart.

The further south we went, the more green we saw outside the car, but just like in the north, the fields were full of busy farmers.

When we arrived in Shanghai, it was drizzling outside.

"Hiss~ This place feels colder than the old city now!" Yang Ning tightened his clothes and couldn't help but complain.

"It's not like you haven't been here before. Just wait until the sun comes out." Hu Yinghong rolled her eyes at Yang Ning, reached into her bag, took out a sweater and asked him to put it on.

"Actually, the temperature here is higher than that in Forty-Nine City. The reason you feel cold is because it happened to be rainy and the humidity in the air is relatively high. You'll be fine once you get used to it!"

Mr. Wu also wrapped himself tightly at this time. After hearing what Yang Ning said, he explained to him.

"The key is that I can't get used to it!" Yang Ning sighed inwardly.

"Hey! That's good, someone is here to pick us up!"

After exiting the train station, Mr. Wu suddenly said with a smile, and then led the two of them towards a jeep parked not far away.

"Mr. Wu, you're back!" A middle-aged officer in military uniform saw the three people, quickly opened the car door, and greeted Mr. Wu with a smile.

"Xiao Liu, why are you the one picking us up this time?" Mr. Wu obviously knew the officer and asked casually.

"I heard that you went to Sijiu City for rescue. Considering safety reasons, I came here by myself."

Then he looked at Hu Yinghong, who was in military uniform, his eyes lit up, and he saluted Hu Yinghong solemnly.

"Comrade, welcome to Shanghai!"

Then he extended his hands enthusiastically to Yang Ning: "I guess this comrade is the reinforcement sent by Elder Wu. He is really young and promising!"

Although he appeared very enthusiastic, Yang Ning still saw a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Hu Yinghong also returned the salute, then carried her and Yang Ning's luggage and stood behind Yang Ning without saying a word.

Yang Ning saw his eyes but didn't care. After all, he was so young, so it was no wonder that others would be suspicious.

If the impression given by Beijing now is the solemnity of black and white, then the Shanghai Stock Exchange now gives people a lively feeling full of vitality and colour.

The scholar's gowns and the flamboyant cheongsams that were boasted to be almost extinct in the old city can now be seen everywhere on the streets of Shanghai. From time to time, you can see people wearing fashionable suits and ties walking through the crowd.

The old Ford, the rickshaws, the red billboards and the Western-style buildings everywhere are all surprising to those who see this scene for the first time.

In other words, Yang Ning saw many big cities in his later life and was still able to remain calm.

The current Shanghai is at most at the level of a small county town in later generations, but the clothes worn by the pedestrians on the street make him feel as if he is wearing an oil painting of old Shanghai.

"Shanghai was the first city to be opened to the outside world. Before liberation, it was always the place with the most foreigners. Although it doesn't have the heavy sense of history of Shanghai, it is still a different experience."

Seeing that Yang Ning and Hu Yinghong were both looking at the scenery outside the car in silence, Mr. Wu thought they were stunned by the prosperity of Shanghai. While introducing it to them, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Not all places in Shanghai are so prosperous. Most ordinary people live in dark and narrow Shikumen alleys, where many families are crowded together. After all, Shanghai has too many people now, so the living conditions are naturally worse than those in the old city."

Although it sounded like Mr. Wu was talking about the shortcomings of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, why did Yang Ning feel that Mr. Wu was being Versailles?

No wonder, Shanghai has been our largest city since it was opened as a port. Even now, the population of the old city is only more than 4 million, even if the population coming to Shanghai from all over the country is included.

The population of Shanghai has now reached six or seven million, making it undoubtedly the largest city.
