Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chen Changan knew very well that Li Huaide must have come back from being scolded by Uncle Nie.

"Director Li, I haven't offended you. What you said makes me a little flustered."

"Does your car factory have a new model coming out? Or a truck?"

"That's true. Director Li is well-informed.

I just reported this to my superiors this morning, and you got the news this afternoon?"

"Hey, man, it's because of your new truck project.

Leader Nie called me over, scolded me for a long time, and asked me to develop the special steel within a month.

The steel mill in the north has some, so we can use the ones they produce. If not, you can just assign a few technicians to me.

Now the department has just given me a piece of information, how can I produce it in just one month? "

After Li Huaide finished speaking, Chen Changan immediately understood what Li Huaide meant by calling.

This Li Huaide actually wanted to get some benefits from Chen Changan.

Is it difficult to develop special steel?

The answer is difficult, and very difficult.

Alloys are generally composed of various metals.

It is very simple to develop a new alloy. Adding various metals in different proportions will create a new alloy.

But what is the performance of this new alloy? No one can guarantee it before testing.

Maybe it is useful, maybe not. Even if it is useful, it is only in certain areas.

Some alloys are even worse than the original steel.

So we can only keep experimenting, keep recording, and keep trying and failing.

If you are lucky, you may successfully discover a useful new alloy in three or five attempts.

If you are unlucky, you may not be able to find a new alloy even after tens of thousands of attempts.

But this is when you have no direction, no recipe.

Since Li Huaide has already obtained the technical data, it is not that difficult for him to produce various types of steel.

Li Huaide deliberately called Chen Changan just to let Chen Changan know.

Because of you, Chen Changan, I, Li Huaide, was scolded by my leader.

Do you owe me a favor? Or does your car factory want to compensate my steel mill?

Just like how Chen Changan tricked Li Huaide before, Li Huaide also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to trick Chen Changan.

"Director Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really can't.

Starting next month, the pickup truck production mission at our auto plant will increase by 30%.

The production of jeeps needs to be doubled, and now even if the car factories work around the clock they may not be able to complete the task.

But our deputy director Shi Heping developed a new engine. I can't do anything about it.

I had to report it to my superiors. I never thought that the Ministry would be so anxious to let your steel mill produce special steel.

In fact, our car factory doesn't want to take on this task.

I think it would be better if I talk to my superiors.

Our automobile factory can only produce engines, and the rest will be handed over to your steel mill to complete."

Li Huaide suddenly became anxious.

"Brother, no, no, no, we are a steel mill, not a machinery factory.

There aren't many people in the whole factory who can operate machines. If you give this machine to our steel mill, I'm afraid I'll be scolded every day.

When it comes to car manufacturing, our steel rolling mill is just helping out.

In the end, it all depends on the capabilities of your car factory."

Li Huaide failed to gain the prize and ended up losing the rice. He didn't expect that Chen Changan was a bit unsportsmanlike.

I just mentioned it vaguely, and then Chen Changan hit back.

Li Huaide was also a little scared, because Chen Changan was a treasure in the eyes of the leaders.

If Chen Changan really had some crooked ideas, he could get the superiors to agree to produce trucks at the steel mill.

Li Huaide will be in trouble from now on.

Some things may seem simple, but you will realize how difficult they are once you start.

If you look at other car factories, it seems very easy to build a car.

If it were a steel rolling mill, it would be troublesome and he would definitely lose his position as the factory director.

Li Huaide talked for a long time, but Chen Changan didn't say a word.

I immediately understood that Chen Changan was not willing to give in because he wanted more benefits.

"Brother, I really have nothing left here.

Actually, my company has tens of thousands of employees, but you know the treatment.

It's not like the treatment of a large factory with 10,000 employees. I'm not as capable as you, brother.

I am not taken seriously in the department, and I have used up most of my connections in the past few years.

Now I just try to maintain it. After all, this network of contacts needs to be maintained.

How about this, I heard there is a man named Zhang Mancang in your courtyard.

Director Hou of your factory is very optimistic about him. He said he wants him to be transferred to your factory?

Originally, our steel rolling mill had just allocated him a house, but he was transferred away immediately. There was no such precedent.

I've made the decision. I'll transfer him to your car factory without any hindrance. Brother, do you think this is okay?"

Chen Changan could tell that Li Huaide was crying poor.

The real situation is definitely not as bad as he said. After all, he has his father-in-law's connections.

Don’t listen to even half of what Li Huaide says, and don’t forget the game he also brought from the Northeast.

What is that for? Isn't it just to enhance the relationship?

Chen Changan didn't believe what Li Huaide said about not being able to maintain his network of contacts.

However, the period from the Chinese New Year to the beginning of spring is indeed a time of transition from the old to the new.

Chen Changan believed that Li Huaide had nothing in his hands.

Since there was no benefit to be gained, Chen Changan said this.

"Okay, after all, we are all brother units, so it's normal to transfer a few people between us.

Comrade Cai Yinghong from our factory was also transferred to your steel rolling mill.

What about the special steel?"

“I won’t bother you with the special steel. We have several college student technicians in our factory.

With the information, I think they should have no problem.

We will definitely be able to complete the task on time.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Changan felt a little amused. He actually wanted to get some benefits from me.

Chen Changan was taking a shower at home in the evening when he heard a knock on the door.

"Xiuhua, go open the door and see who's here."

"Brother, it's Brother Mingjun from next door who's here."

After Hou Mingjun entered the room, Xiuhua poured some water for him and left.

Hou Mingjun then spoke.

"Director, I'm going to the new factory tomorrow, and I feel so empty and uncertain.

Please teach me, what should I do when I go there?"

Hou Mingjun has been following Chen Changan since he started working.

Even when he went to work as deputy director of a pharmaceutical factory, he knew that he only needed to take care of construction issues.

Later, Chen Changan will definitely go to the pharmaceutical factory to solve practical problems.

But this time when Hou Mingjun goes to the new factory, Chen Changan will not follow him.

Everything depends on him.

Moreover, the deputy factory managers around him are probably not easy to deal with.

Once he did something wrong, there would be no Chen Changan to cover for him.

So, before leaving, I quickly come to Chen Changan to ask for advice.
