young friends come to meet

The girth seam of a large tank can be welded in a few hours.The workers observed the weld bead, and it was really different from manual welding with a hand-held welding handle.There is no fish scale pattern or snakeskin pattern, but a flat weld seam, exuding a cold industrial atmosphere.

Some workers complained, saying that such welds are not as beautiful as manual welding. It seems that this high-tech thing is still not as good as our skilled craftsmen.But it is also said that not every welder can weld the welds by hand to make the welds strong and beautiful.Although machine welds may not be as beautiful as those of some good workers, they are indeed efficient and strong, and it is worth sacrificing a little beauty.

David by the side didn't know what these workers were discussing.When Yin Congnan simply translated these words to him, David felt very puzzled.First of all, he didn't feel that the welds of the welding machines they produced were unsightly. Secondly, he believed that the most important thing for a factory is efficiency and quality, and beauty is not the first thing to consider.

Of course Yin Congnan understands David's thinking, but it seems difficult to explain the truth of Chinese workers to David in a few sentences.He and David said, "You can chat slowly when you come to my house."

The two leaders of the factory also watched the welding process of the large tank in the second half.Li Han calculated in his mind that if this welding speed is followed, he can receive about one-third more orders for papermaking equipment and fermentation equipment each year.He said to Ma Guosheng, "Old Ma, did you see that? Our move is not wrong."

Ma Guosheng looked at the large cans rotating at a constant speed on the machine and nodded.

Li Han added, "This is only the first set of equipment."

Ma Guosheng continued, "Full of hope."

On the day when the equipment was successfully commissioned, it was inevitable that David would be invited to a banquet.During the meeting, the two factory leaders and engineers asked David many questions about American industry.As a foreign monk, David naturally had to recite a few more scriptures, and the two factory leaders also seized the opportunity to learn from them.

After talking about important matters, Ma Guosheng thought of it and said, "Little Yin, are you and this Mr. David alumni?"

"Yes, I met David when I went to study in the United States."

"It's really a fate to meet a thousand miles away. I didn't expect you to meet again in China."

Yin Congnan said, "Yeah, I didn't expect David to work in Bluestar Industry. It was David who found me through the contact information of the research institute."

After listening to Yin Congnan's translation, David said to the two leaders, "Yin is better than me professionally. He has a master's degree, but I am only a bachelor's degree. Taking Yin's suggestion is the right choice."

Of course Yin Congnan knew that he couldn't translate this sentence so straightforwardly, so he said, "David is very grateful that you can choose to cooperate with Bluestar Industry."

The two leaders smiled and thanked David.

Taking advantage of the end of the banquet, Yin Congnan asked the leader for instructions. He and David hadn't seen each other for a long time. He hoped to have time to catch up with old friends, and he also wanted to take American friends to see this northern city after work.The proposal was approved by both leaders.

So taking advantage of the weekend of the next day, Yin Congnan called Ye Kai, David took George, and played a non-intense two-on-two match under the basketball hoop in Yin Congnan's small park.

The results were obvious, and the US team won the game by a huge margin.

Although it was only half an hour, Ye Kai had never been so tired.A scrambling action made him unsteady, and he fell to the side of the court.He wanted to get up, but his legs were a little weak, and he was almost speechless due to panting.I thought, even if Mu Tiezhu came, he might not be able to deal with this Yankee.David was the most agile tall man he had ever met.Fortunately, he also scored some points on David's head, which is not a shame.There is also George next to him, although he is shorter than himself, but he is also very agile. He said that he has never played with David before, but the two of them cooperated quite well.

David came over, blocking the sun like a wall, and then he stretched out a big hand, trying to pull Yekai up.

Does Ye Kai think that this is looking down on me and thinking that I am tired?

At this time, I heard Yin Congnan say from the side, "This is a good way to show that you are good on the field."

Ye Kai didn't want to be a person without grace, so he took David's hand and stood up.

"You played well, brother." After David's words were translated, Ye Kai felt that Yankees were nothing, because they also called brothers everywhere.

Ye Kai replied in English, "Thank you." Then he said in Chinese, "Let's play table tennis if we have a chance."

After Yin Congnan finished translating, David shouted directly, "No! If I play table tennis, I will definitely lose."

After speaking, several people laughed. This friendly basketball match between China and the United States ended in such a happy atmosphere.

Yin Congnan and Ye Kai personally served the dinner.Prepared several family side dishes.David, on the other hand, took out the red wine he brought over from America.Although the dishes and wine do not match well, but friendship is used as seasoning, and no one cares about these details.

Ye Kai and Yin Congnan were both surprised that the other could cook.

Yin Congnan said that he is abroad. Although the country and schools in the United States have scholarships and subsidies, the pressure of life is still not small.You must learn a few simple and easy dishes to save costs.After a long time, I am not used to foreign food, and I am also greedy for Chinese food, so I thought about cooking a few dishes that my mother made in my memory, but I didn't expect it to be quite successful.Therefore, cooking has become Yin Congnan's pleasure, and it has also become a way to miss his hometown and relatives.

"What about you? How did you learn to cook?"

"Me, I learned it for my aunt. When I was three years old and the table was not high enough, I stepped on a stool to help my aunt roll out dumpling wrappers. At five years old, I could knead dumplings." Ye Kai was almost showing off childhood achievements.

"Six-year-old can ride a tricycle and pull Chinese cabbage for grandpa."

Ye Kai was startled, "Do you still remember?"

Yin Congnan nodded, "I have a good memory."

"Then I have to be careful what I say in the future." Ye Kai was cutting cucumbers, and suddenly muttered, "I knew I would call my aunt over and cook a table of delicious dishes, so that this foreigner can open his eyes and enjoy his mouth."

The two finished five or six dishes while talking and laughing.

David exclaimed, "This is the Chinese food I want to eat, just like what you usually eat."

Yin Congnan said, "This is what we usually eat, I hope you like it."

David said, "It looks good and smells good. Now it's time for me to open the wine."

Yin Congnan didn't have suitable drinking utensils at home, so he only brought out a few glass cups.David thinks this is very good, he said that now he feels like a member of an ordinary Chinese family.

A simple potluck, everyone chatting about things that have nothing to do with work.Ye Kai asked a lot of questions he was curious about the United States.There is no taboo in private occasions. Yin Congnan translated everything straightforwardly, and David answered them all patiently.As he talked, David thought of the workers' views on the machine on the day when the equipment was commissioned.

"Yin, you didn't tell me then, can you tell me now?"

Ye Kai asked Yin Congnan what was going on. Yin Congnan did not rush to explain to Ye Kai, but just said to David, "Chinese workers pay special attention to craftsmanship. The so-called craftsmanship is the work done by a person with his hands. The craftsmanship of a worker is their workmanship. The technique is a kind of technique that a person has acquired through long-term practice and continuous research. For example, the lines left by welders on the weld seam after welding, each person's operation method is slightly different , the weld pattern he left is different. This is the mark of a welder, his characteristic and pride. But now with the machine, these personal and distinctive marks have disappeared. It has become flat and cold The weld seam. The personal traces of the workers have been erased in the innovation of the machine. Of course they will have some discomfort and rejection.”

David nodded, as if he understood, but there was still doubt on his face.He took a sip of the red wine in the glass, and finally frowned, "I understand. Your workers love their jobs, and you have enthusiasm for cold iron."

Yin Congnan was surprised that David would say such words with oriental philosophy. He raised his glass, "For the work we love."

Ye Kai clinked glasses with them blankly.

Sent off David and George.Ye Kai stayed with Yin Congnan to clean up.He looked at the table and chairs and asked, "When did you buy this table and chairs? I haven't had them since I came last time."

"I went to the second-hand market to buy these two weekends."

"You go to the flea market too?"

"I learn it from you."

"Then why don't you call me. I can still use my own car to help you back."

Yin Congnan shook his head, "The boss sent it for me, but I went there by myself and took it back."

Ye Kai was obviously dissatisfied, and complained, "Don't treat me as a brother."

Yin Congnan didn't expect that he still had a temper, and said with a smile, "I still lack a bed here, next time you can help me pull it with a tricycle."

Ye Kai smiled, "No problem."

While washing half of the bowl, Ye Kai remembered the conversation between Yin Congnan and David during the meal, and he was very curious.Yin Congnan translated what he said at that time to Ye Kai.Ye Kai was not only surprised by David's understanding, but also admired Yin Congnan, who understood the minds of workers so well.

"By the way." Ye Kai suddenly remembered, "I saw a few English words on the nameplate of the machine. It's what inUSA."

"MADEIN USA?"

"It seems so."

Yin Congnan wrote on the table next to the pool with his wet hands, "Is that so?"

"That's right, that's it."

"It's made in America, made in America."

Ye Kai nodded and continued to brush the bowl in his hand.After a while he said, "When will the machines produced in China be exported to various countries, not only those African countries, South American countries, but also big countries like the United States. Let them all want to use the machines produced in China .Now we think their products are good and advanced. In another 30 years, no, 20 years, or even shorter, they will also think that our Chinese products are good. They are rushing to buy our machines. Not only machines, but also the cars we produce, televisions, airplanes and trains we produce. At that time we will be a real industrial power!"

As Ye Kai said, his eyes looked out of the window, and his eyes were shining like stars in the night sky.

Yin Congnan was infected because Ye Kai had the same dream as him in his heart.He looked at Ye Kai's twinkling eyes, and blurted out a question that had been held in his heart for a long time.

"Ye Kai, have you ever thought about going to college?"

The plot is about to enter the next stage.Does Kaikai want to go to university?
