Chapter 49 Increase Investment
In this era, there are no good cars.
Senior national cadres in the capital may also have red flag cars. Generally, if there is a Volga in the city below, it is good to have a gas car. Most official vehicles are still jeeps, but unlike the soft jeeps of field troops, the ceiling has been changed to aluminum alloy hard trousers.
Only jeeps can drive hundreds of kilometers and get here.
However, there are not many jeeps, and the people coming are probably not very large. It is impossible that the jeep convoys are surrounded by a large number of jeeps. After more than a dozen jeeps, there are miscellaneous convoys composed of buses, tourist buses, etc. It can be seen that the people sitting on them should be more important people.
Speaking of which, there are very few tourist buses in China that are available for use in this era. Even if people from the capital come, they may not be able to find a few. Therefore, the convoy is mainly buses and is temporarily transferred to pick up and drop off important guests.
Like the last time Guan Fei picked up the teachers back, he borrowed the bus.
“So many cars!”
Someone let out a low moan in the crowd.
Guan Fei raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
There are really many cars, and the man probably refers to this one, but he says there are too many buses. So far, there are thirty-six cars, and there are thirty-seven cars appearing in the back corner. I don’t know how many there are behind!
The county town is just a small place, and buses are not infinite. At most, there are forty or fifty buses in the city. If so many buses were all drawn from the county, the cadres and masses in the city would probably have to walk to and from get off work today.
Probably not.
Those who take the bus should be more important people. The train only reaches Kunming, and the next two hundred kilometers is impossible to walk over and borrow a bus from the county town. So it is mostly just a secondment from the Kunming bus convoy.
The convoy was too long. Before they could see how many buses were, the jeep in the front had already arrived and drove past them without stopping. A car behind them followed closely and passed by everyone.
Just as everyone was stunned, the third car began to slow down gradually and finally stopped in front of everyone.
The cars behind it slowed down in turn because it stopped and slowly stopped, like a long dragon winding and lying on the road. The two cars passing by in front seemed to find something wrong, and then stopped and reversed and retreated.
The door of the third jeep opened, and a middle-aged man in Lenin got out of the car, walked towards Guan Fei and others with a smile, and laughed loudly from afar and stretched out his hand: "Hahaha, Brigade Commander Guan, we met again! I didn't expect you to be so polite, and you went so far to greet us. I was really sorry! The two cars in front probably didn't expect that you were treating you as local cadres, so you didn't stop, so you were ashamed!"
Guan Fei met Du Haibo, Director of the External Liaison Office of the First Bureau of the External Liaison Department (Asia Southeast Asia Bureau) that he met in Hong Kong!
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that I was an acquaintance. I wouldn't have to run dozens of kilometers so nervous to pick you up." Guan Fei smiled and stretched out his hand, holding him tightly.
This handshake is not like the first time we met. We stopped at once. The other party held Guan Fei's hand tightly, and his left hand was placed on the back of Guan Fei's hand, which was very intimate.
It was not the time to discuss in detail. Guan Fei turned his body and introduced Zhang Shengguo and others to him one by one. He also recommended the town party committee secretary and a group of Meng Hai cadres.
Du Haibo had a kind smile of a real senior cadre, and did not treat anyone at all differently. He shook hands one by one. However, judging from the time of the handshake, he shook hands with Zhang Shengguo and Sun Yaohua the longest time, which was basically the same as Guan Fei. He was a little shorter than Yu Baihai, the deputy commander of the 291st Brigade, and Zhao Zhonghua, the director of the Civil Affairs Department. As for Meng Hai's cadres, he always touched his hands, and just held it in a false sense.
"Director Du, you rarely have time to come to us. It's getting late, so why not leave with a simple meal in Menghai, so that we can have the opportunity to report to you the work." The town party secretary was eager to try to keep him in the town for a while, take a look, and report to him about his local work.
"Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders and dare not delay it! If you have the opportunity, I will bother you when I come back." Du Haibo looked at his watch, and the female staff member who had seen him came forward and whispered in his ear, as if he was reminded. He smiled politely and said politely.
"Okay! I asked them to prepare more local specialties. Next time you will take them along the way and take them back to try our local flavor!" The Party Secretary knew that he could not keep people anymore, so he had to say regret.
"It must be certain!"
After both parties were polite, Du Haibo forced Guan Fei and Zhang Shengguo into his car, saying that he wanted to understand the situation in advance and drove the two entourages to other cars.
Guan Fei is the brigade commander of the 291st Brigade, Zhang Shengguo is the political commissar, and is considered the highest military and political leader. It is normal to ask them to talk alone. Moreover, Sun Yaohua in the trio was not invited to get into the car. Yu Bohai and Zhao Zhonghua had no objection, so he took the initiative to choose other cars.
"Last time we met in Hong Kong, I knew that Brigade Commander Guan was young and promising and had outstanding abilities. But I didn't expect that Brigade Commander Guan could do such a big career in this desolate land. At that time, I said that you are awesome in your youth, but now it seems that you are actually underestimating you!"
Du Haibo said with emotion as the convoy set off again.
"I have done something within my ability wherever I can. Political Commissar Zhang, Deputy Brigade Commander Sun and others have helped me a lot. Captain Meng, Principal An and others have all made great efforts. We are even more grateful to the country for being able to support us at critical moments. All the commanders and soldiers of the 291 Brigade are remembered in mind..." Guan Fei spoke in a mess and spoke very fluently.
Zhang Shengguo and the others can't say such clichés, or they can say it but are embarrassed to say it, but he has nothing to be embarrassed about.
It's just the lubricant before the topic, and it won't kill anyone if you talk about it!
If you have to show your integrity and make others unable to come to Taiwan, isn’t this harmful and unfavorable to yourself? Why bother?
Zhang Shengguo sat in the passenger seat and heard Guan Fei affirming their achievements in front of the capital's major cadres. He was so excited that his face was congested and his face was red.
After walking for more than ten minutes on the road, the two of them said clichés all the way. After listening to it for so long, Zhang Shengguo's excitement gradually subsided. It is normal for a minute or two to keep his blood..., that will kill people!
He listened to the passionate but content-free conversation between the two, and admired Guan Fei even more - Old Guan is so powerful that he can chat and laugh with the major cadres in the capital department without losing the upper hand, at this level!
In fact, although the two of them were talking a little nonsense, there was still content in it, but he couldn't hear it.
Du Haibo also revealed some information to Guan Fei under the packaging of a lot of nonsense, such as the new leader came to power, the country has determined that the next step will be converted into construction, the left-handed team will be abandoned, the wrongly treated veteran cadres will come back to work, etc., changes in the country's major policies and guidelines, and at the same time, he also listens to Guan Fei's views on this.
Of course, Guan Fei also used a lot of gorgeous words to give Du Haibo a very positive response, believing that this is the future of national development, people's minds are determined, and the decisions above are very correct... etc.
After a while of back and forth, everyone was sure that the other party’s attitude was positive, healthy, and in line with expectations!
The biggest function of these ten minutes is to confirm the overlap between the two sides on the routes and there is no essential conflict.
Although it took a little longer, both of them were very satisfied with the result.
The convoy crossed the Border River and had arrived at the defense zone of the 291st Brigade. Du Haibo then began to get to the topic a little bit: "You first asked a domestic customized cement factory production line. After the manufacturer worked overtime, it is expected to be completed next month and will be delivered to you. If the installation and commissioning goes well, it will be officially operated by the end of August, right?"
"That's great! With Captain Meng and his help, the leveling of our new city's land is going smoothly and may be completely completed at the beginning of next month. We are ready now, and we only need the east wind!" Guan Fei and Zhang Shengguo said happily.
The 291 Brigade can still buy cement from China, but the cement packaging paper bags are easy to break, and once they are damaged, they will be wet and solidified. The cement they buy from China has some of this loss, which would be much better if they can produce it themselves.
Even if there is a slight shortage, if you add it from a small amount in China, the cost and expenses can be greatly reduced.
"Haha, the cement production line you provide is very high! The technical research of the 2,000-ton production line of daily production line is now underway in China. When your drawings come, it has helped us a lot. It has made a leap forward from a 2,000-ton production line of daily production to a 4,000-ton production line of daily production. It can be said that it has been a long time to drought and rain! You don't know that when your drawings are placed in front of the experts of the Architectural Research Institute, their eyes are wide open and they are rushing to be the first to study. Later, the drawing room stayed for several days and nights, and hundreds of sets were copied, but there was no competition. In this regard, you have made great contributions!" Du Haibo turned slightly and said meaningfully at Guan Fei.
"Is that so? I didn't expect the information I bought from that commercial intelligence dealer is real? That's great!" Guan Fei said with a haha, resolutely not admitting that it was painted by himself.
"Hahahaha! Yes, he is a very high-level intelligence dealer!" Du Haibo laughed to the sky, "By the way, good news has also been heard from the Metallurgical Research Institute. Based on the information you gave, they built a ten-meter experimental tunnel kiln, which is said to have achieved good results, and can basically determine the authenticity and correctness of the information. It seems that this was bought from that intelligence dealer, right?"
"Yes, I just bought two copies of information and got all of them. It seems that I am lucky this year!" Guan Fei said complacently.
Zhang Shengguo sat in the co-pilot, blinking his eyes hard, not understanding what they were talking about. Where was there any intelligence dealers? They saw Guan Fei staying up all night and drawing these information alone.
Although he couldn't understand, he didn't interrupt if he knew something he didn't understand, so he just listened silently.
"Your luck is really good! I heard that you were in charge of a project to convert an ordinary lathe to CNC lathe. In less than ten days, an old manual lathe was transformed into a CNC lathe? And it was extremely accurate?" Du Haibo smiled in the corner of his eyes, and said lightly as if he was chatting.
"This is true!"
Guan Fei admitted this readily that he just didn't want to take everything on him, and he didn't insist on pushing the credit out.
The major he studied involves many related subjects and has rich information. However, the relevant knowledge that students need to know is always limited, and it is impossible to be as profound as his foundation in electronic engineering that he has been immersed in for many years.
He is indeed better at cement production lines, but even if they are taken out, can they be made in China?
What does he keep showing off what he can't create?
I'm asking for trouble!
As for this set, as he understood, the domestic team also carried out difficult research and development in the middle of the night, and under actual conditions, it made production line equipment that basically meets Guan Fei's requirements. As for domestic self-use models, the technical indicators were greatly reduced and the bidding was reduced to produce a simplified version to supply the needs of cement factories in various places.
The same applies to tunnel kilns.
This technology has actually been popular for decades. Due to its large energy consumption and high pollution, it gradually stopped construction after the 21st century. The real right way is the internationally popular air-blown kiln.
The most valuable set of drawings he gave was not a tunnel kiln, but a supporting gas generator!
The proven natural gas reserves in China are not high, the mining is difficult, the cost is high, and it is not affordable. But the coal resources are extremely rich! The gas generator he gave is originally a domestic technical data in later generations. It is designed according to his own coal resources and variety quality. Although the technical difficulty is a little bit difficult, it is absolutely no problem to digest it thoroughly.
It doesn’t matter whether the tunnel kiln is in China. With this gas generator, it can immediately produce high-purity direct reduction iron in large quantities like abroad, and smelting high-quality steel and special alloy steel.
This is his original intention.
He only has information on these two technologies and understands the key points of their technical points, but his actual level is far inferior to that of current domestic experts and is not qualified to discuss them in depth.
CNC lathes are different. This is his old profession of mechanical and electrical engineering, and he can serve as a guiding light in this era!
"I thought you didn't admit this..." Du Haibo laughed lowly, "Actually, this topic is also being done in China. From the Institute of Automation and the industry research units below, all factories and mines are trying this, but they are basically small-scale. The results cannot be said to be absent, but they are all very single, and they cannot achieve a leap in performance. From what I have learned, the mechanical part is not the key, but it is directly adopted by the original mechanical structure. The key is that the domestic strength of the CNC part is too weak, and it cannot be fully understood just by a control integrated circuit. I heard that you are using a new integrated circuit, which was newly launched last year?"
"Yes! I have this information, including all the instructions, as well as peripheral board design and interface design based on Z80. When I arrive, I will give it to you and can be used as a reference in China." Guan Fei said generously.
Du Haibo stared at him for a long time, making him feel uncomfortable, and then he thanked deeply: "Thank you! I thank you on behalf of the country! Thank you for your efforts for us, we will not forget!"
Zhang Shengguo, who had been listening silently, suddenly realized.
He finally understood how such a huge convoy came from where so many supplies were transported.
It turned out that the drawings given by Guan Fei were of great value and the country had inherited this affection, so he tried his best to repay them. And from what Du Haibo meant, it was not just that, and there were more benefits in the future. Because of Guan Fei's kindness to the country, the country saw his value. Because of Guan Fei, the country valued the future of the 291st Brigade more and was willing to invest more to see if he could gain more.
Of course, these investments are insignificant to the domestic market, and they are just a leisurely move. They are really happy to succeed and lose without harming the overall situation.
But for Guan Fei and for the 291st Brigade, this reward is too important!
He raised his head and looked at Guan Fei's indifferent expression from the rearview mirror. He felt a lot of emotion, envy, and deep admiration in his heart, but he was never jealous.
Chapter completed!
