Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 254: I'm almost losing my pants...

Chen Luyang began to feel restless.

Evil comes from the most courageous side!
He has never won the factory director’s ticket!
A few people were bored to begin with, and when they saw the poker, they immediately reached into their pockets and took out their tickets.

When traveling around the world, who doesn’t have a few bills on him?
Due to their status in the industry, the two factory leaders, Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan, humbly waved their hands and gave the chance to play to Hao Fengchun, Cao Qinghang and Chen Luyang.

So, Chen Luyang and his male comrades, Hao Fengchun and Cao Qinghang, the four of them played "beating the empress".

Even though Cao Qinghang and Hao Fengchun are usually busy with research and have no time to play cards.

But you can’t help but think he’s smart!

After a few rounds, Chen Luyang knew that he had met his match.

He and his male comrade really struggled all the way through with sparks and lightning, barely managing to get through.

"Alright, you two take a break and let Director Wang and Deputy Director Yu have some fun!"

Chen Luyang began to set his sights on Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan.

If I continue to play like this with Mr. Cao and Lao Hao, I will have to spend all the money in my pocket!

Hao Fengchun looked at Chen Luyang worriedly: "Xiao Chen, are you sure you want to play with our factory director?"

Chen Luyang nodded: "Yes!"

If he could win a hand from Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan, he could go back and brag to Song Liaosha and the others for a whole year!
In an instant, the miserable second male lead Cao Qinghang seemed to be reborn, and happily handed the cards in his hand to Director Wang.

"Director, the cards are all stacked!"

Old Hao also looked like he was enjoying the show and gave the cards in his hand to Yu Anshan.

The real battle is coming...!
Chen Luyang was fully prepared to have a "Wind and Cloud Domination of the World" showdown with the two factory directors.
But as the fight went on, Chen Luyang was dumbfounded.

Did these two old guys peek at my cards?
Why is it that what I hit is what the other party has, and what the other party hits is what I don’t have!

Seeing that the two of them won the ticket easily, Chen Luyang finally felt a sense of crisis.

After a few rounds, Chen Luyang felt numb.

Old fox...really an old fox!
No wonder he can become a factory manager, his brain is really not in vain!
Just by casually playing a few cards, it seemed that Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan had figured out what cards everyone had in their hands.

Then they began to launch an overwhelming attack on them.

"Engineer Cao, Uncle Hao, you two can play for a while." Chen Luyang handed over the playing cards in his hand listlessly.

"You don't want to play anymore?" Cao Qinghang asked happily.

"I don't want to play anymore... I'll lose everything if I play pants again." Chen Luyang was depressed.

Seeing Chen Luyang wilting, Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan were amused.

"Hey! If you join me, I will help you win your pants back!" Wang Qingzhou called Chen Luyang and said with a smile.

Um! ?

Chen Luyang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey boy, let's team up and I'll win your vest back!" Yu Anshan called out to the male comrade with a smile.

This time, a sharp one leads a stupid one, so no one will suffer!
A factory manager who can’t play a good hand of cards is not a good factory manager!

After all, Yu Anshan was the director of a steel plant, so he is quite smart!
In an instant, the situation began to become unpredictable.

By the evening, both sides had won and lost.

Several people put away their poker cards and took out food from their bags.

Some brought sausage slices, some brought tea eggs, some brought cold dishes, and there was everything you could think of... Soon, there were several aluminum lunch boxes on the table.

Chen Luyang is even more abundant!
A lunch box full of spring rolls made by my mom!

After everyone finished eating, they took off their shoes and went to sleep on the bunks.

Although Chen Luyang and the male comrade were on the upper bunk, fortunately they were young and nimble.

But Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan, who were in the lower bunk, had a hard time.

The smell of those six pairs of shoes is really top-notch.

Coupled with the "bang bang bang" sound of the train colliding on the tracks, the two were tortured until the second half of the night before they slowly fell asleep.

That night, it was Chen Luyang who was on the upper bunk who slept soundly until morning without any care in the world.

The next morning, the five people got off the train again, carrying their luggage.

Before leaving, the provincial machinery factory had already reported the group's itinerary to the conference organizers.

So as soon as the five of them walked out of Pianercheng Station, someone led them to a half-new large truck.

Since the delegates attending this conference come from all over the country, the truck has to wait a while and pick up a few more people to go to the hotel together.

While waiting, Chen Luyang looked around curiously.

A portrait of Chairman Mao hangs high above the gatehouse, and huge portraits of Marx and Engels are hung everywhere on billboards in the streets and alleys. There are also two young girls on the curb next to them, sketching the crowd with drawing boards.

The main road is wide and clean, and there are even foreigners wearing big cotton jackets, liberation caps, and cameras hanging on their chests!
The bus still has a white roof and a red bottom, and the stalls at the street market are filled with golden tomatoes and red dates.

People walking on the street looked happy, and from time to time there were little boys wearing red scarves running down the street.

After much difficulty, more than 30 people were gathered together and the truck started moving.

The hotel they stayed in was Xiyuan Hotel.

Like Songting Hotel, the hotel only receives conference delegates and is not open to the public.

The conference organizers prepared standard double rooms for the delegates.

Chen Luyang first went to get the keys to the two rooms, settled Wang Qingzhou, Yu Anshan, Cao Qinghang and Hao Fengchun, and then hurried to find a place to live for himself.

He has to share a room with others.

When I got to the front desk, I saw a young man waiting at the front desk to share a room with someone else.

The two of them hit it off immediately, took their keys and luggage and went upstairs.

Their room was right next to Wang Qingzhou and Yu Anshan's. Chen Luyang knocked on the door and told them, then went back to the room to rest.

"Comrade, my name is Chen Luyang, and I work at the Provincial Machinery Factory."

"Comrade Chen, my name is Li Shenyuan. I work at the Jiantian Automobile Manufacturing Plant."

The two of them chose their beds, one on the left and one on the right, and started chatting.

When Chen Luyang heard that the other party was from "Jiantian Automobile Manufacturing Plant", he immediately showed admiration.

Jiantian Automobile Manufacturing Plant was the second automobile factory in China to be renamed with the approval of the Ministry of Industry.

Specializing in light trucks, this is truly the big brother among big brothers.

However, the provincial machinery factory is also well-known.

At the beginning of this year, the production and sales association of the provincial machinery factory really dropped a big bomb on all automobile manufacturers in the country.

A military factory that had never touched upon automobile manufacturing was able to develop a car from scratch within half a year.

They even successfully improved the technology and developed the second generation of cars.

This speed of research and development and production is simply astonishing.

"I heard that many factories have been inspired by you and want to make cars together!" Li Shenyuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Chen Luyang said happily.

"Of course... Eh? Did your factory hire a translator this time?" Li Shenyuan asked.

"No." Chen Luyang answered truthfully.

"We don't have it either..." Li Shenyuan was a little depressed.

"This event was announced too hastily, and Jiantian University is on winter break, so we didn't hire a teacher. We can only wait for the department to assign a translator." Chen Luyang asked, "Assign a translator?"

Li Shenyuan nodded: "The department has recruited a group of translators before. I wonder if they can assign one to us when the time comes... Didn't you apply to the department?"

Chen Luyang: “Neither.”

Li Shenyuan began to get angry for him.

"You can't do that! When the foreign company representatives come, how will you communicate with them without a translator?"

"When the comrades from the Ministry of Commerce arrive tomorrow, you should report this to them immediately."

"It would be a shame if such a good exchange opportunity went unrealized due to language barriers."

……

The auto exhibition exchange meeting is scheduled to start at nine o'clock in the morning of the second day.

It's a bit cool in the morning.

Chen Luyang put on the shirt and knitted wool vest prepared for him by his mother, rubbed his face carefully, then walked out of the room in high spirits and accompanied Wang Qingzhou and others to the venue.

The agenda for the morning of the first day of the exhibition was the opening ceremony, which was held in the hotel's large conference room.

This trade fair is not only aimed at automobile manufacturers from all over the country, but also aims to communicate with foreign companies.

Therefore, all the representatives from the provincial machinery factory were dressed in formal attire.

In addition, several of them were already tall, so they were really eye-catching when they walked into the venue.

"Old Hao... look at that guy. Does he look like the Japanese translator we hired earlier?"

While waiting to exchange the exhibition badge at the entrance of the venue, Yu Anshan pointed at a figure in front of him and asked Hao Fengchun in confusion.

"Let me see... isn't that him?" Hao Fengchun's tone of voice changed immediately after he took a look.

This translation really caused them a lot of trouble at that time.

He and Yu Anshan ran a long way to Pianer City and used a lot of tricks to bring the person back to the provincial capital.

In the end, even though the translation wasn't done, I still spent a lot of money on medical treatment and hospitalization.

Finally, they provided the person with delicious food and drinks and sent him back on the train.

In the end, only a few sentences were translated, and it seemed like I was just visiting the provincial capital for a month.

"Which one?"

Chen Luyang also believes it and goes to see it.

He had only heard of this man but never met him in person!

If this gentleman had not given up his position, I might have been the king of Songting Hotel now.

"The guy in the grey suit...eh? Why was he blocked by someone?"

As soon as Hao Fengchun finished pointing, a group of delegations came and covered their heads tightly in gray suits.

"I haven't heard that there will be any Japanese representatives coming this time?" Cao Qinghang was a little confused.

"What is he doing here this time?"

Yu Anshan cursed angrily, "Whatever he wants to do here! Anyway, he won't be able to trick us this time."

The five people got their exhibition passes and walked into the venue under the guidance of the staff.

The opening ceremony was very grand.

In addition to the exhibition representatives, leaders from other ministries such as the Ministry of Industry were also invited to attend the exhibition.

In addition to speeches by leaders of the National Mechanical and Electrical Company and the Ministry of Commerce, two foreign representatives participating in the exhibition also took the stage to give speeches.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the event, the exhibition recruited a group of accompanying translators in advance and gave them some intensive training on vehicles and basic knowledge.

Next to each foreign representative in the audience, there is a real-time translator for communication and exchange.

Originally, the organizer prepared translators for each exhibitor, and these translators were originally intended to serve both the exhibitors and foreign representatives.

Unfortunately, the number of translators recruited is limited, and there is also the need to save labor costs.

These translators are only assigned to representatives of foreign companies, and they will translate wherever the foreign representatives go.

The Provincial Machinery Factory doesn't care about these things.

Having Chen Luyang here is enough to defeat thousands of troops.

Chen Luyang sat upright in the audience, but his eyes kept wandering.

I just wanted to see what that big brother who had enteritis and pneumonia looked like.

Looking around, the translators next to the Japanese team in the venue were all wearing blue clothes.
However, there was a translator sitting next to the Italian delegation who was wearing a gray suit.

Could that mean he went to the toilet to poop again?

Chen Luyang looked at the location of the toilet in confusion, looking left and right.
Thanks to his energetic appearance,
When others saw him wandering around, they just thought he was a young man who had never seen the world and found everything new to him.

Otherwise, if you change into someone with shifty eyes, people will try to rob you.

This exhibition is divided into a complete vehicle exhibition and a parts exhibition.

The whole vehicle exhibition is also divided into car exhibition hall, light truck exhibition hall, motorcycle exhibition hall, special engineering vehicle exhibition hall and bus exhibition hall.

After receiving the exhibition notice, the Provincial Machinery Factory communicated with the organizer and transported the car to the Pianercheng exhibition hall.

In the afternoon, the five people were led to the exhibition hall by the staff.

The entire exhibition hall is in the shape of a square tofu block, with each exhibitor and the cars they brought arranged in a vertical column like a small square array.

The exhibition area of the Provincial Machinery Factory is located slightly further inside.

Originally, Chen Luyang thought that the cars from his factory could be the best and most invincible.

It was only after entering the exhibition area that Chen Luyang realized how wrong he was.

The empty exhibition area looks like a huge chessboard, and various cars are like chess pieces.

Either arranging the troops or placing the generals in the middle,
Engineers, technicians and factory managers from all over the world stood beside their cars, looking at and sizing up each other.

The most prominent positions in the exhibition area are the Angshou Automobile Manufacturing Plant and the Huahai Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

At this year's vehicle exhibition, the Angshou Automobile Manufacturing Plant occupied almost one-sixth of the exhibition area.

As a long-established domestic automobile manufacturer,
The Aungshou Automobile Manufacturing Plant not only exhibited the newly manufactured Shouqi "BaBa" car and "Overwhelm West Wind" car.

Even the "Liaoyuan" luxury sedan was on display!

The "Liaoyuan" luxury sedan is known as the "national car" and was once used to receive foreign guests on behalf of the country.

As soon as the exhibition started, it attracted many exhibition representatives to come and watch.

"This is the last time the Liaoyuan car will be on display."

The staff looked at the black sedan in front of them with some regret.

Hao Fengchun asked doubtfully, "Why?"

The staff member replied quietly: "It's been discontinued. The government doesn't allow it to be made anymore because they say it consumes too much fuel."

Cao Qinghang was surprised: "Because it consumes too much fuel, it was discontinued??? That's impossible?"

The staff member glanced around and whispered, "That's what everyone says internally."

Wang Qingzhou, Chen Luyang and the other three looked at each other.

Such a good thing, known as the "national car", was discontinued just because it was fuel-efficient?!
Who believes it!
Besides, how many times can this car be driven?

How much more fuel can it consume?
