Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Uncle Nie also smiled.

"I agree with this matter in principle. After all, good news will come from Hong Kong Island in the next two days.

Later, when the department has income, we will be able to afford the money to build your factory.

However, it still requires a large amount of funding from the ministry, and this matter still needs to be discussed at the meeting.

How about this, you come to the department tomorrow.

Based on the news from Hong Kong Island today or tomorrow, the Ministry will definitely revise its funding plan for next year.

I will then propose that your factory's community plan be brought to the meeting for discussion."

In this way, Chen Changan returned to the automobile factory not long after staying in the department.

Li Huaide really kept his word. Not long after Chen Changan came back, 5,000 kilograms of hairtail and 10 big fat pigs were delivered to the car factory.

Fortunately, this was sent directly from outside.

If this was pulled directly from the steel mill to the automobile factory, I'm afraid the workers on both sides would have to fight again today.

Chen Changan and Nan Yi discussed it and decided that with the limited time at noon, they could only cook some hairtail, and forget about making braised pork.

But braised pork can also be made, and workers on the early shift can take it home to eat after get off work. Anyway, everyone gets a portion of hairtail fish and braised pork.

The same goes for workers on the middle shift; they can eat directly in the factory or take the food home.

As for the New Year benefits, Chen Changan had already made arrangements with the farm.

Just as Chen Changan was eating hairtail fish, Shi Heping sat down next to Chen Changan with his lunch box.

“Director Chen, I went looking for you this morning, but I couldn’t find you.

I heard from Hou Mingjun that you went to the department for a meeting this morning?

Hou Mingjun looks mysterious. Is there something good going on?"

"Of course there are good things, two of them.

The first thing is that the 10,000 motorcycles that the department had previously taken away were all taken away by Hong Kong Island.

It is said that many brother countries need it, and the motorcycles produced by our automobile factory have begun to earn foreign exchange again."

Shi Heping was so excited that he almost knocked over his lunch box and asked excitedly.

"Really? Director Chen, you're not lying to me, are you?"

The sound was so loud that all the workers around looked over in an instant.

If it weren't for the fact that the two men were factory managers, I would have come over out of curiosity to ask what happened.

Shi Heping also realized that he had lost his composure, so he sat down and calmed down.

Then he continued, "Really? Our factory has started to earn foreign exchange again?"

Chen Changan finished eating the hairtail fish in his hand and placed the big bone on the table before continuing.

"Why are you so excited? This isn't the first time. Hong Kong Island is just testing the waters. We're still waiting for news from Hong Kong Island as to whether it will work."

Shi Heping was a little excited again, but much better than when he just heard the news.

"It's okay as long as there is a chance. It's okay as long as there is a chance. I didn't expect that the motorcycle factory that had already started to decline could finally come back to life.

Director Chen, thank you for bringing the motorcycle factory back to life once again."

As Shi Heping said this, he was so moved that tears were about to come out.

"Not really, not really, this is not all my credit, you also have a contribution.

Hurry up, if you really cry in the cafeteria, the workers won’t know what to do with me in the afternoon.

If word spreads that Chen Changan bullied Shi Heping, where can I seek justice?"

Shi Heping calmed down and said, "I know that you and Hou Mingjun both have great and bright futures.

The future will never be limited to car factories.

This car factory will at most be a memory in your life.

But the car factory means everything to me.

There is no way I will ever leave the car factory in my lifetime, and I don't want to leave.

I have witnessed with my own eyes the car factory being built from scratch and progressing step by step to where it is today.

I really treat him as my own child. I will be happy if the factory can improve.”

"Well, since you are happy, I will tell you the second good news. I will make you happy all at once."

"Okay, you tell me, I'll listen."

"The second good news is that I have built a residential building for our automobile factory, and I am going to the ministry today.

After understanding the situation, Uncle Nie agreed in principle to build residential buildings for family members in our automobile factory.

We just need to bring it up at the meeting tomorrow. As long as it's approved, we can start construction of the staff housing complex at our automobile factory in the early spring of next year.

"Really?"

This time, the sound was much louder than just now.

It can be seen how excited Shi Heping was about the construction of residential buildings for family members in the automobile factory.

Shi Heping never went home and slept in the factory every day. He knew very well what the young people in the factory needed most.

They are all grown men now, how could they not get married?

Some young men still feel depressed when they go to work the next day after quarreling with their partners the day before.

Shi Heping saw this happen, but he was truly powerless to do anything about it.

Shi Heping knows himself well and knows his own level.

It would be really difficult for Shi Heping to find housing for the workers by himself.

However, Shi Heping felt that this was not a big deal for Chen Changan.

“How many buildings can be built? Where should they be built?”

"How many buildings? You underestimate me, don't you? If it was just a few buildings, I wouldn't even bother to go to the ministry. The factory could just pay for it.

For a few buildings, I have to go to the Ministry several times. Am I going to bear this trouble?"

Shi Heping's voice was trembling a little.

"So, that's more than a dozen buildings?"

"Forget it, I'll just tell you straight away. You're such a stingy person. If you keep guessing, how long will it take for you to figure it out?

Let me tell you, isn't there a river next to our factory? The vast wasteland on the other side of the river is our base.

I plan to build residential buildings all over there.”

"Then, then, then it must be five hundred acres of land? That big? I'm afraid that all the workers in our factory can't live there?"

Chen Changan looked at Shi Heping and said, "Xiao La, five hundred acres is more than enough. Let's fence off the land first.

Can you build houses all over the land? There must be a supply and marketing cooperative, a hospital, a kindergarten, a primary school, a cinema, a vegetable market, and even a square, green lawns, etc.

I am even planning to build a technical secondary school for our factory to train skilled workers. I still think this place is not big enough."

This shocked Shi Heping.

"How could leader Nie in the department agree to build so many things? I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, right?"

Chen Changan said nonchalantly, "What do you know? Our car factory earns foreign exchange.

Logically, the country should get a share, the ministry should get a share, and our automobile factory should also be able to get a share.

If you want to use it, you must have a reasonable reason. Does our factory need to use foreign exchange?

Basically, it is not necessary. Our factory’s machines need it, but importing one or two machines will be of little use.

This is not a laboratory. We just need to make one or two parts.

This requires large-scale production, so it is impossible to replace all of them with imported machines.

Therefore, the foreign exchange originally allocated to our factory can only be kept in the account and let others keep an eye on it.

But we don’t need foreign exchange to build houses, but we can use foreign exchange to exchange for houses.

If we exchange foreign currency for houses in our country, then I am afraid that others will fight over us to build houses for us.”
