Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After returning to the office, Sun Zhengguo immediately called Minister Li and reported the good news to him.

Minister Li was also very happy to hear the good news.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he received the good news from the research institute. He had been planning to come and express his condolences recently, but he didn't expect to receive this news today.

So he immediately said that he would come in person tomorrow morning to express his condolences to these meritorious officials.

After finishing the call, Sun Zhengguo made himself a cup of tea to relax.

Then he asked someone to notify Chief Cai of the Propaganda Department and ask him to come over.

After a while, Section Chief Cai came to the office.

"Director, you are looking for me."

"Oh! Chief Cai is here, come and sit down."

"Thank you, Director."

Sun Zhengguo spoke only after Section Chief Cai sat down.

"Chief Cai, the department leaders will come to inspect tomorrow. I hope you can make preparations in advance."

"Okay, director."

The two then talked about some specific matters before Section Chief Cai returned to the Propaganda Department.

After seeing off Section Chief Cai, Sun Zhengguo called his cousin and asked him to go to the same place to buy pork and eggs tomorrow.

He provided the pork and eggs himself, and of course this was an occasional act, and he would not pay a penny less.

As for asking his cousin to run errands, Sun Zhengguo did not treat him badly and gave him a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes every time.

After explaining everything, Sun Zhengguo finally calmed down and simply sat there drinking tea and waiting for the end of get off work.

You may ask again, didn’t we leave work early?

Don't forget, those are workers. All cadres and office staff are not included in this scope.

……

The next morning, as soon as the workers arrived at work, they saw the banner hanging at the gate and slogans posted in the yard, and realized that leaders would come to inspect soon.

But the workers don't care about these. They only care about when the pork and eggs promised by the director will arrive.

Not long after, Sun Zhengguo also came to the unit by car, and he gave instructions as soon as he got off the car.

"Zhengnan, thank you for your help. Go and fetch the pork and eggs. The workers are watching them!"

"Okay! Big brother, hehehe! It's not hard at all."

Sun Zhengnan laughed slyly, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.

Soon, when he returned again, the trunk of the car was full.

A whole piece of pork, including the pig head, pig skin, pig blood, and pig offal. It’s a whole pig, not a single hair is missing.

In addition to eggs, some fish, chicken, duck, beef and other ingredients were also prepared. These were all prepared for the leaders to inspect and eat.

In the cafeteria, when all the ingredients were unloaded, He Yushui's face was filled with worry.

"Sister Zhang, the staff have improved their meals, and the leaders also have stir-fried dishes. I, as a cook, can't handle it all."

"Don't worry, Master He. These have already been arranged. The machinery factory will send a chef and two kitchen assistants over soon. You just need to prepare the stir-fry."

After hearing what Sister Zhang said, He Yushui felt relieved and began to process the ingredients slowly.

At 9: in the morning, a group of leaders from the institute had already arrived at the gate, ready to welcome the department leaders.

Also coming to greet them were the two factory directors of the machinery factory.

After all, the CNC machine tools will be transferred to their factory for production in the future, so they also want to come and learn about it in advance.

At this time, because the department leader had not arrived yet, Sun Zhengguo and Director Li were communicating in a low voice.

"Engineer Sun, I heard that the six-roller steel rolling mill you developed has reached the final stage. I wonder where you plan to produce it later?"

Sun Zhengguo understood what Director Li meant as soon as he heard it.

But this is obviously unrealistic. The Ministry of Metallurgy has so many subordinate units, how can it not find a manufacturer?

"Director Li, you'd better not have this fantasy. I can tell you clearly that this is completely impossible."

After hearing what Sun Zhengguo said, Director Li was not discouraged.

Because he is just catching rabbits by raking grass, it would be good if he can catch it, but there is no loss if he can't.

So he continued, "Mr. Sun, if that's the case, let's not argue about it. What about your next project? For example, the engine."

"Hahaha!"

Sun Zhengguo was happy. Director Li was just daydreaming.

"Director Li, is your current scale still small? Let me tell you this! In the future, your factory will not be able to have any other production tasks except machine tools."

"why?"

"Why don't you know?"

Sun Zhengguo was completely speechless. Director Li was really pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth.

The machinery factory is such a huge thing, and it has already expanded to the point where it can't expand any further. Don't you have any idea?

While the two were talking, several cars slowly drove towards them.

When the people welcoming at the door saw their leader coming, they immediately became energetic.

Soon, the car arrived at the gate and stopped, and then a group of bigwigs got out of the car one after another.

Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo immediately took the lead to meet them.

"Minister Li, Deputy Secretary Zhou, Deputy Minister Liu..., welcome to our office to inspect and guide our work."

"Comrade Zhengguo, we are not here to instruct you on your work, but to express our condolences to you meritorious officials. Why are you doing all this nonsense?"

After Minister Li finished speaking, he extended his hand with a smile and shook hands with everyone one by one.

After a brief welcome, the group walked to the workshop.

Several big guys are ready to see with their own eyes what the CNC machine tools that are praised by foreigners as magical look like.

In the workshop, a group of big guys walked around the machine tool twice, talking in low voices.

Minister Li had also read some foreign information before coming here, so he has some understanding of CNC machine tools.

However, after seeing the real thing, I found that there was nothing special about it, so I asked curiously.

"Comrade Zhengguo, I don't think it has three heads and six arms as the legend says. Can you tell us what is so good about it?"

"Okay, Minister Li, then I will talk to the leaders."

Sun Zhengguo then began to talk.

"This CNC machine tool is essentially a machine tool, but it uses a digital control system. Its main features are high precision, high efficiency, and strong stability..."

After hearing Sun Zhengguo's introduction, the leaders nodded frequently.

However, no matter how good the words are, it is useless. We still have to see the actual results.

Next, Sun Zhengguo arranged people to start the actual operation, striving to let the leaders see the real results.

The results speak for themselves, the effect is very good.

Although the workers are not yet skilled, the leaders can already see that this machine tool is indeed excellent.

In time, if it can become popular, it will definitely become a powerful weapon.

An hour later, the leaders left the workshop with satisfaction, and then everyone went to the conference room to prepare for a small symposium.

As soon as the symposium began, Minister Li raised a question that everyone wanted to know.

"Comrade Zhengguo, we have also looked at the CNC machine tools. Now I want to know how big the gap is between this machine tool and foreign ones?"

"Minister Li, leaders, although we started late in CNC machine tools, we skipped the first step in research and development, and now we may be at the second step, or even more."

"If I really have to make a comparison, I can only say..."

Sun Zhengguo paused when he said this, and then said four words embarrassedly.

“So far ahead!!!”
