The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Minister Chen was utterly shocked upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words:

"You've successfully developed machine tools?"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"That's right, they are all independently developed, and they are better than the machine tools on the market."

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, Minister Chen asked anxiously:

Is this true?

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"Of course it's true. I wouldn't lie to you, no matter who I'm lying to. I've brought all the documents and equipment."

Can I fool people with this?

As soon as Gu Zhiqi finished speaking, he saw Minister Chen run away. You should know that Minister Chen is not usually like this.

When Minister Chen encounters good technology, his eyes light up like a cat seeing a mouse.

Gu Zhi Qiu looked at the secretary beside him and asked:

"Secretary Shen, what's wrong with Old Chen?"

Secretary Shen knew what was going on and sighed, saying:

"The Ministry of Foreign Trade is going to sign an order today for a large number of machine tools to be purchased from abroad. You know that our country doesn't have any machine tools."

However, with the country's development, machine tools are needed everywhere, so we have to source them from outside.

I never expected you to give me such a big surprise today.

If this is true, you have saved the country a lot of money.

As you know, our country doesn't have much foreign exchange, so..."

Upon hearing Secretary Shen's words, Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Is that so? Then we should definitely go. Now that we have our own machine tools, we don't have to be at the mercy of foreigners anymore!"

Secretary Shen nodded in agreement upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words.

"Yes, now that we have our own machine tools, we finally don't have to be at the mercy of foreigners anymore!"

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"But did you manage to find anything this time?"

Secretary Shen asked curiously:

"What do you mean?"

Gu Zhi Qiu said to Secretary Shen:

"Let's talk about it when Old Chen arrives!"

After a while, Old Chen came over and said to Gu Zhi Qiu:

"Gu Caishen, come here, tell me about your machine tools!"

Gu Zhiqi had the materials brought up, and then said:

"Look at the results our research institute has produced!"

Minister Chen looked at the data in his hand. Gu Zhi Qiu didn't understand this data, but Minister Chen did.

Although he didn't know how to operate it, Minister Chen was very clear about the situation of this data both domestically and internationally.

After all, this was his responsibility. Having reviewed the documents, Minister Chen asked in utter shock:

Is the data on this page accurate?

Upon hearing Minister Chen's words, Gu Zhi Qiu was taken aback. He had no idea. After seeing the actual product, Gu Zhi Qiu assumed it was ready. He didn't understand the data or anything like that, but the product itself was indeed impressive.

But I don't understand this data!

However, Gu Zhi Qiu still forced himself to say:

"Of course, and I've tested all the equipment. You know my skill level; I'm not even a first-class worker, just someone who can operate it skillfully."

But the parts I made myself, I measured them, and they're almost at the level of a level three technician!

Minister Chen was taken aback:

"real or fake?"

Gu Zhi Qiu has the confidence, why would I try to fool you?

It should be noted that there are not many Grade 8 workers nationwide, but there are quite a few Grade 6 and Grade 7 workers.

If it's really that advanced, then precision parts would be much easier to obtain, as our country currently lacks a large number of precision parts.

Thinking of this, Minister Chen said:

"Okay, if that's really the case, I'll definitely recommend you for credit!"

Gu Zhi Qiu smiled shyly:

"You know what kind of director I am. It's all thanks to my researchers. I'm just a gofer!"

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi's words, Minister Chen knew that he couldn't discuss too much about the research institute here.

Minister Chen thought for a moment, then said:

"You said you brought the physical item?"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"I brought them, two sets, they're in the car outside!"

Minister Chen stood up:

"Let's go, what are we waiting for? Let's give it a try!"

After saying that, he turned to Secretary Shen and said:

"Xiao Shen, go find a few level 5 and level 6 workers, including lathe operators, blacksmiths, and fitters. Bring two or three of each trade!"

Secretary Shen nodded:

"Yes!"

Just as Secretary Shen was about to leave, Minister Chen said:

"Wait, call a few interns too, including those in levels one, two, and three!"

Secretary Shen was taken aback, then said:

"Yes!"

Because the Ministry of Industry doesn't have low-level workers, only mid- to high-level ones, but their boss wants them, they have to find them elsewhere.

Secretary Shen went to make preparations, while Minister Chen arranged for someone to find a location, and then the installation began.

Soon all the machine tools were ready. Looking at them, Minister Chen said:

"Alright, alright, these things are fine to look at. Hasn't the person arrived yet?"

Another staff member said:

"Sir, Secretary Shen just left, and it takes time for her to travel back and forth. We don't have any skilled workers here!"

Minister Chen said:

"Haha, Lao Gu, I was just too anxious, you can't laugh at me!"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"Yes, I was even more anxious than you back then. Once I found out about this, I didn't waste a single second."

They came over with the documents and equipment!

Minister Chen laughed heartily:

"Okay, okay, if you had come any later, we don't know how many good things those foreigners would have swindled out of us."

It's good that you came. I've already changed the foreign trade personnel. It will only take two more days, as long as we verify the feasibility of these machine tools.

Then our country won't have to be beholden to them!

Hearing Minister Chen's words, Gu Zhiqi was also very excited, realizing how difficult things were for his country.

I know that if my country really doesn't have to care about the opinions of other countries, then I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, all the workers arrived.

Regarding all the level 5 workpiece drawings, Minister Chen said:

"You all come one by one and work on this part!"

No one made a move. Minister Chen addressed the crowd:

"Do it?"

One person said:

"Boss, we are all at level five."
