Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 265: The National Gate on the Border
Listening to Wang Qingzhou's praise, Yu Anshan said modestly: "It's all thanks to your good leadership, Director Wang. We are just following orders."

While talking,

Yu Anshan also adjusted the tie on his shirt.

Since we reached a cooperation agreement with the Italian representative, we got the order.

Yu Anshan seemed to have a second spring in his life, and he was always energetic and alert when he went to work every day.

They all wore red sweaters with sweetheart necklines, which was even more festive than the Chinese New Year.

Wang Qingzhou smiled and nodded: "Don't be modest about this matter. You really lead the team in the fusion workshop well."

"You have made an indelible contribution to the rapid development of our factory's cars."

A smile appeared on Yu Anshan's lips. He leaned back comfortably in the seat and took a deep breath.

There was pride in his eyebrows.

After Wang Qingzhou praised Yu Anshan, he changed the subject.

"Boss, you guys in the Ascension Workshop need to hurry up."

Dong Jiangchao nodded silently.

Yu Anshan glanced at Dong Jiangchao. This old brother has been quite quiet recently.

In the past, he could still hear Dong Jiangchao's movements in the corridor, and would go to his office to sit and brag.

But I haven't seen Dong Jiangchao for a long time recently.

I heard that he is now doing research in the Ascension Workshop almost every day, and he is truly both a commander and a fighter.

Not to mention eating and living with the workshop people,

But I heard that he came to the factory to work overtime on New Year's Day.

Wang Qingzhou asked, "How's your research going?"

Dong Jiangchao sighed, "It's not easy... The two technical difficulties of the rotor and the sealing ring are still not solved."

Originally, Dong Jiangchao still had the energy to fight with Yu Anshan every day.
But now faced with technical problems, he really can't sleep day or night, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows are getting deeper day by day.

Wang Qingzhou consoled him: "It takes time to break through the technology. We should be anxious about this, but we can't be anxious about it."

"Take it one step at a time, think of many solutions, and don't be afraid of failure."

Yu Anshan also spoke up: "Yes, Mr. Dong, if there is anything I can help you with, just ask directly."

"Although we are in charge of different fronts, we are both working for the factory. If there is anything that needs to be done, I will strongly support you."

Under normal circumstances, Dong Jiangchao would say a few words to him.

But today, Dong Jiangchao nodded:

"Okay! I'll definitely find you if I need you!"

Fu Donghu and Song Liaosha from the Supply and Marketing Department never imagined that

The first big order they got after the New Year was actually placed by Chen Luyang!

Importing waste tires from Japan...

Fu Donghu took a deep puff of his cigarette, his eyes shining!

The products of the Provincial Machinery Factory have always been rooted in China, and he has even discussed foreign business!

It’s really exciting just thinking about it!!

Song Liaosha said with a bitter face: "Section Chief, are we really going to Japan to discuss this?"

Fu Donghu glared at him and said, "How can you bargain if we don't meet face to face?"

These little Japanese are so cunning.

Besides, it is such a big issue as importing waste tires.

We need to clarify all the rules and regulations, lower the price, and take a look at the scrap tires. What should we do if we suffer a loss?

Song Liaosha was embarrassed: "But I can't speak Japanese either!"

Fu Donghu: "Why are you looking at me? Do I know how to do it?"

"But I won't, I have to go!"

"Even if we gesture, we have to confuse him."

Seeing that Fu Donghu had made up his mind, Song Liaosha had no choice but to sigh and accept her fate.

Originally, Song Liaosha hoped that Chen Luyang could go to Japan with him and serve as an interpreter to provide some light.

But the factory leaders disagreed!
The Italian representative said he would come back if he wanted to.

Chen Luyang is the only one in the factory who can speak Italian, so Chen Luyang must be ready at all times in the factory!

Besides, there was a temporary translator who was in charge of the factory's previous negotiations with Japan on cooperation in purchasing technology. It would be the same if we asked him to do the same!

But before they set off, Chen Luyang knocked on Yu Anshan's door again out of concern.

"Through my communication with Wataru Ebe, I learned that the Japanese company's intention to sell us scrap tires is clear and explicit."

"This time, Chief Fu and his team went to discuss more about the price, but once the deal is done, the next step will be to consider how to introduce it."

Yu Anshan frowned and sat behind his desk.

"Do you have any idea?"

Chen Luyang said: "I was chatting with friends in Huahai before. Huahai's port can handle a large amount of international cargo, and many Japanese waste tire cargo ships also transport them through Huahai Port."

"But the sea of flowers is too far away from us."

"Taking into account the delays on the journey and the time lost in going back and forth, the time and money saved are not much different when you add them up."

Chen Luyang thought seriously.

It's okay if you buy it once or twice.

If this is a long-term collaboration, it would be a waste to walk through the sea of flowers every time.

"Nowadays, the port of Zuizihe City is open, and there is a dedicated railway line from the provincial capital to Zuizihe City."

"Should we contact the Zhuizihe Port and have Japanese waste tires imported through the port and delivered directly to our machinery factory via a dedicated railway line?"

Yu Anshan pondered: "Can Cone River City do it?"

Chen Luyang said, "Zhuizi River is our only land trade port leading to the Sea of Japan. We can export to both Europe and the Soviet Union. The port is convenient, and from a geographical point of view, it has an import advantage."

"Moreover, not long ago, the Cone River Port also transported a batch of bearing steel imported from Japan to the country. Importing from them is currently the most convenient way for us."

Yu Anshan nodded: "Okay! Come with me and talk to the factory director."

……

After listening to the opinions of Yu Anshan and Chen Luyang, Wang Qingzhou rushed to the provincial compound that afternoon.

It’s not called “Provincial No. 1 Project” for nothing.

After hearing about the needs of the Provincial Machinery Plant, the province quickly convened a standing committee to discuss the import of waste tires for the Provincial Machinery Plant.

There was almost no objection, and the province decided to provide strong policy support.

It was agreed to open the port of Zuizihe City and add a special train from the provincial capital directly to Zuizihe City to transport Japanese waste tires.

As soon as the news spread,

The provincial machinery factory was overjoyed.

The provincial rubber factory is jealous...

When it comes to rubber, they are the major rubber producers in the province!

The province is going to hold a sports meeting this year, and the factory has been squeezed into producing a large number of rubber shoes, raincoats, and rubber parts for other factories.

When it comes to rubber raw materials, they need it more than anyone else!
Upon hearing this news, the director of the provincial rubber factory could no longer sit still.

For a whole week, he went to the province and went to the provincial machinery factory every day.

Finally, we reached a cooperation agreement with the provincial machinery factory, and both parties jointly purchased waste tires from Japan to use as raw materials in the factory.

Even so, Wang Qingzhou still thought that his factory had been taken advantage of.

The Japanese company that our factory contacted,

Our factory went to Japan to negotiate the price.

I went to the provincial capital to apply for a freight train.
As a result, the rubber factory took half of it away through negotiation.

Although the rubber factory paid for the purchase, Wang Qingzhou did not agree easily. Not only did he buy a batch of raincoats at a low price from the provincial rubber factory, he even forced a tire order contract into his hands.

Although it is a production order, the price is reduced to 80%.

Although the factory can also produce tires.

But after all, the machinery factory is still mainly engaged in manufacturing various machines.
The only rubber workshop also focuses on the production of shock absorbers for helicopters and cars, so a tire factory is needed to manufacture a large number of tires.

Although the rubber factory condemned Wang Qingzhou's bandit-like behavior,

But compared with the benefits of getting large production orders and waste tire raw materials, all of this is nothing!
Not only is it not worth mentioning, but new funds were even obtained because a large number of tire orders were negotiated for the machinery factory.

The factory's personnel department has begun drawing up a recruitment plan for the new year, preparing to recruit more workers into the factory this year.

In addition to the Provincial Rubber Factory,

The provincial engine factory, instrument factory, provincial light bulb factory, glass factory and other automobile supporting factories all benefited from the "No. 1 Project".

The production atmosphere of the provincial capital's large-scale industries is booming and hot with a vigorous momentum.

Accompanied by the whistle of the special train from the provincial capital to Zuizihe City,
Chen Luyang carried her luggage and followed the crowd off the train.

"Xiao Chen, this is it!!!"

On the platform of Zuizihe City, Sun Yi, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, stood in the crowd, shouting and waving at him.

“Brother Sun!!”

Chen Luyang got off the train carrying her bag and gave Sun Yi a big hug.

"I've been looking forward to your arrival so I can take you around our Cone River City. I never thought you'd actually come!"

Sun Yi hugged Chen Luyang and ran out to the platform.

"This time, you have to stay in Cone River for a few more days!"

Chen Luyang laughed and said, "It really won't work this time. Isn't our factory cooperating with a Japanese company to import waste tires from our port?"

"I came to the port this time to scout the area and pick up some tires from the factory. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long."

Sun Yi patted his chest and said, "Oh! Brother, come find me! I know everyone here at the port, and every one of them is a friend. I'll take you wherever you want to go, and we'll try to get this done quickly."

"It just so happens that there's a special train coming from the provincial capital tomorrow, and Jiang Tie will be the conductor on this train."

"Let's have a good time together, three brothers!"

Although Cone River Station is a small station.

However, the waiting room of the train station is a Soviet-style building, a two-story white building with beautiful carvings on the doors and windows.

After walking out of the platform, Sun Yi led Chen Luyang to a small motorcycle.

"boarding!"

Chen Luyang looked at the motorcycle in shock.

These days a motorcycle costs around four or five thousand!
"Brother Sun, how did you get this car?"

"How did it come from? It's from the government! How can I afford to buy a motorcycle?"

Sun Yi tied Chen Luyang's luggage to the motorcycle and said with a smile:

"I work in supply and marketing. I have to run around everywhere every day, so the company gave me a motorcycle. It's convenient for me to go out for work and pick up friends."

As he spoke, Sun Yi also said:

"You have long legs, and the road ahead is slippery. If you can put your feet down in the back seat, we'll drive more steadily."

Chen Luyang was amused: "Foot brake?"

Sun Yi laughed: "Haha, right! Foot brake!"

Along the way, Sun Yi rode his beloved little motorcycle and took Chen Luyang along the main roads of Zuizihe City.

Although Zuizihe City has a long border, its urban area is small.

Basically, there is only one main street and you can see the end of it at a glance.

There are not many street lights.
To put it bluntly, if you play a loudspeaker, the whole city can hear it.

But what Chen Luyang didn't expect was that there were so many people in such a small city!
The streets are filled with popsicles and freshly frozen salmon. The local Qingyun Market is bustling with people from all over the world shouting and bargaining. Basically, everyone is here to buy salmon, caviar and sweet shrimp.

Chen Luyang saw with his own eyes that there were more than a dozen southerners standing in front of a stall selling salmon, asking for prices.

In addition to selling salmon,

Many southern merchants also sell clothes, shoes, small jewelry, bed sheets, blankets and other goods here.

Although the county town is small, the styles and types of these things are really rich.

For a moment, Chen Luyang even thought that the entire city was a bustling large-scale comprehensive market.

"It's so lively here!" Chen Luyang couldn't help but admire.

"Of course!" Sun Yi said with a smile.

"Don't underestimate our small place, but when it comes to trading small commodities, it's no worse than the provincial capital."

"Since our country's reform and opening up, we've been working in supply and marketing, and our salmon sales have increased significantly. Many comrades from the south have come here with their goods on their backs, sold them here, and then left with their goods on their backs."

"Many state-owned stores in provincial capitals come here to stock up on goods on weekends."

When Chen Luyang saw these little things, he immediately wanted to buy them.

After the sweep, he bought a lot of things for his family and Chen Jinyue.

Don't tell me...

This price is really cheap!
Not only are they cheap, but the variety and styles are also similar to those in the state-owned stores in Pianer City.

In the end, even Sun Yi couldn't stand it anymore and kept persuading him to stop and not spend all the money.

The next day, Sun Yi took Chen Luyang to the border. When Chen Luyang saw the national gate, he was surprised.

"Just an iron fence?"

Looking at the simple iron fence in front of him, Chen Luyang couldn't believe that this was the national border.

Sun Yi said, "Don't underestimate this iron fence. Who dares to touch it?"

Chen Luyang nodded in awe: "Indeed! Then can I touch it?"

Sun Yi was silent: "I didn't dare to touch it..."

Chen Luyang quietly withdrew his hand: "Then I won't touch you anymore..."

Sun Yi looked outside the iron fence and sighed softly.

"When I was a kid, this fence was open. I remember those big Russians coming over with all these goodies to sell. They had all sorts of goodies. Their biscuits were so good. I still remember the taste."

"If only this door could be opened."

Chen Luyang smiled and said, "It will definitely be opened. We have already implemented reform and opening up, so it is only a matter of time before the country opens its borders."

"Then I'll wait for that day!"

Sun Yi looked at the iron fence, his eyes full of anticipation.

After a walk around the border port, Chen Luyang and Sun Yi came to the platform again in the afternoon to pick up Jiang Tie.

But what they didn't expect was that there was another person following Jiang Tie.

"Comrade Meng Meng?!"

Chen Luyang and Sun Yi opened their eyes wide, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Sun Yi had dealt with Meng Meng before, and he was really scared by this little girl's unfriendly personality.

This little girl really ignores people and doesn't give people face.

Not to mention Chen Luyang.

He is not stupid.

It was obvious that Meng Meng had taken a fancy to me.

The key point is that he told Meng Meng that he has a partner, but Meng Meng still has an indomitable attitude, which makes people very difficult to deal with.

"Chen Luyang? Why are you here too!"

Sure enough, when Meng Meng saw Chen Luyang, her big eyes lit up.

As for Sun Yi next to her, she simply ignored him.
