Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Cousin, it's me. Is it free to talk?" Zhang Dabao called Li Huaide.

"Wait a moment, then you can talk." Li Huaide asked the person who came to the office to report on work to go out first, and then spoke into the phone.

"The equipment you mentioned last time is now confirmed," said Zhang Dabao.

"Really? That's great, where is the goods?" Li Huaide was a little excited.

"The goods will arrive here from the Japanese in about a month. However, it's not easy to transport them to our factory. They have an embargo on these things, and it's difficult to leave the dock. You can ask the higher-ups if there is any good solution. If not, I'll think of another way. I'll be going back in two days, so we can discuss it together," said Zhang Dabao.

"Let me ask my cousin's husband, he should have a solution," Li Huaide thought of Qiao Baozhong.

"Okay, it's better to think of a solution in advance. Three sets of furnaces and one set of continuous casting machine have an annual output of about 180,000 tons. We also need to build a new workshop. You can ask relevant domestic experts on how to build the workshop. This work can be done in advance." Zhang Dabao instructed Li Huaide again.

"Thank you, kid." Li Huaide listened to Zhang Dabiao's words, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't know how much the kid had suffered. He didn't know where Zhang Dabiao got the equipment from.

"Do we need to talk about this? I will be back in two days, and we can talk about the rest when we meet." Zhang Dabao said a few more words to Li Huaide and hung up the phone.

Li Huaide put down the phone, smoked a cigarette, and came to Yang Weihua's office.

"What's wrong? Have you encountered any problems? Did Liu Lan have a fight with you?" Yang Weihua said with a smile.

"I'm not in the mood to talk about this. The equipment you mentioned last time has arrived. It will arrive in Hong Kong in a month, but how will it be transported to us?" Li Huaide said.

"Do you have any good ideas? If not, I will go to Minister Shi?" Yang Weihua said.

"Minister Shi is in charge of us, but he doesn't care about the ship or things outside. We have to find my cousin's husband," said Li Huaide.

"Let's go find Minister Qiao. How can Minister Qiao find out if we just stay in the factory?" Yang Weihua said.

"I'm afraid that my cousin will know that Da Biao went out. If my cousin knows, she will say that you sent him out. She won't scold you, and she won't be embarrassed to scold you. At most, she will show unhappiness," said Li Huaide.

"Why don't we just go to the ministry? Can Minister Qiao go home and talk about this? How can he be a good factory director if he thinks about these messy things every day? Let's go," Yang Weihua said, pulling Li Huaide and they came to the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

"Move it from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, or even better, to Tianjin. There are hundreds of cubic meters of stuff, and each one is quite large. Director Yang and Huaide, you have given me a difficult problem," said Qiao Baozhong.

Yang Weihua and Li Huaide lowered their heads and did not speak, listening to Qiao Baozhong talking alone.

"The key issue now is how to pass through Hong Kong Customs. Let me think about it," Qiao Baozhong paced back and forth in the office.

"There are risks. We can bribe one or two people, but sometimes the British and Mao Zedong military will come on board to inspect. We have finally got advanced equipment from outside. If something goes wrong here, we will become sinners. Let me think about it. When Da Biao comes back, you bring him to me and we will discuss it together," said Qiao Baozhong.

Yang Weihua and Li Huaide nodded and left the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

"Huaide, the minister called me this morning and said that Director Mao has officially retired. I should have been approved by the ministerial committee, so I have to go to the ministry in the next two days. You are the one in charge of the factory's affairs. Alas! I didn't expect that after joining the team since I left the team at Seventeen and working for a lifetime, I still can't get rid of the idea of ​​​​progress, and it is all thanks to you and Da Biao. Huaide, thank you," Yang Weihua said to Li Huaide with a smile.

"I used to want to be the boss and make decisions every day, but now I don't have such an idea at all. If I can't solve a problem myself, I just tell the boss. I have discovered the problem myself, but as for solving the problem, I can't solve everything, right? It would be great to pass it up. For example, now that you're gone, what should I do? The workshop has not been built yet, and the equipment has not been shipped in. The installation and debugging are a mess..." Li Huaide actually received this news in the morning.

"That's your business as the new factory director. It has nothing to do with me. You finally got out, and you still want me to take responsibility for you again? Don't even think about it," Yang Weihua said with a smile.

Zhangjia Village of Xiangyang Commune launched a satellite again, shocking all the surrounding villages. They immediately sent fifty people to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Even Secretary Liu of the commune came to the village to ask Zhang Zhiling if he had any good ideas.

"Old Zhang, what's going on?" Secretary Liu asked Zhang Zhiling.

"Leader, this is the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill's counterpart support for our village. Their factory leaders know our village is in difficulty and taking care of us is not a good thing. It's all temporary help and they will come back at the end of the year. After the villagers left, there were not enough people on the fields, and the village also has plans to build roads," said Zhang Zhiling.

"You are so good, Zhang Zhiling, you start to lie with your eyes open. Your village is in trouble? In what way? You have brought water from the mountain, and you have harvested a lot of sweet potatoes. The weather will be cold soon, is there any work to do in the fields? Your village plans to build a road, but which village doesn't have a plan? I heard that the steel mill also provided a batch of grain?" asked Secretary Liu.

"That's used to build roads in our village. The factory has set standards. The road width must be six meters, and there are also requirements for the road surface. There can't be big stones. It's best to use gravel and sand to pave it," said Zhang Zhiling.

"No, Lao Zhang, what does the road construction in your village have to do with the Red Star Steel Mill? Tell me the truth." Secretary Liu laughed angrily.

"Isn't my nephew working in the factory? He's the one with crutches you saw at the end of last year. His eldest brother and his family occupied his house, the one you came to arrest," said Zhang Zhiling.

"That combat hero? I know. However, there are many people working in the steel mill. There are at least a dozen of them in our commune. The steel mill allows your village to work in the factory to earn money, provides you with food and builds roads. What does it have to do with your nephew?" Secretary Liu said.

"Of course it is related. My nephew has made great contributions in the factory. The leader asked him what he wanted. He told the factory leader that he hoped to help the folks in his hometown. That's why the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill decided to provide targeted support to Zhangjia Village," said Zhang Zhiling.

"That's what I thought. Your village is doing well this year. Lao Zhang, let's discuss something. Your grain..." Secretary Liu said.

"Dayou, what are you looking for? I'll go take a look." Zhang Zhiling saw Zhang Dayou passing by the office door, so he quickly stood up, walked out of the office, and then walked out of the village office.

"Fourth Uncle, I didn't call you. I haven't told you my story yet." Zhang Dayue also followed.
