Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

While everyone was watching to rescue the excavator, someone called the Yangcheng Evening News.Even if a reporter from the Evening News came to interview, they caught up with the second half of the rescue.

After the rescue, the reporter also interviewed the contractor and the owner of the car rental company.The owner of the car rental company was quite interesting, directly explaining that the boat excavator was bought from the Canton Fair, and Yuan Xia, the owner of Xingyuan Machinery, was still at the scene.

So the reporter interviewed Yuan Xia again. Yuan Xia was very satisfied with the performance of her ship excavator and did not hesitate to praise her.

The contractor and the owner of the car rental company were also very satisfied with the rescue operation, and the contractor also gave Xiaozhong 200 yuan in labor costs.

Xiao Zhong looked at Yuan Xia, who smiled and said, "Boss Niu has money, so I'll take it if I give it to you."

Xiao Zhong happily took the 200 yuan, which can be regarded as a windfall.

The contractor also invited them to have dinner with the reporter.

After dinner, Mr. Fang said to Yuan Xia: "Tomorrow, I will go to your company to place an order for a ship excavator. It's too domineering."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Welcome to place an order!"

The next day, the Yangcheng Evening News reported this story, starting from the perspective of Chinese machinery and equipment at the Canton Fair.

Xingyuan followed up with a wave of advertisements for free, so even though there was no physical exhibition of the ship excavator in the last two days, more people learned about Xingyuan's domineering boat excavator.

After returning to Yuecheng, the rescue of the excavator by the ship excavator spread throughout the company along with word of mouth among colleagues.

This has greatly motivated the R&D personnel and given great confidence to the whole company. As long as they do a good job, they can also make top-level machines.

Although the boat excavator sold well at the Canton Fair, the sales volume of offline promotion is still good.

In summer, some areas in the province suffered from very severe drought, especially in Xinyang City, where the embankment was broken in 98. From July to August, there was no rain for nearly two months. Many rivers have dried up.

Not long after the late rice was planted, when a large amount of water was needed for irrigation, the grain fields in many places were dry and cracked, because there was no water from the river.

The North Lake next to Xinyang is not short of water, but this year there is little rain in the whole area, and the water level of the lake has dropped very seriously, and almost a quarter of the lake bottom is exposed.People began to pump water from the lake for irrigation, but later they couldn't even reach the pumps.

Xinyang is located in the North Lake Plain and is a well-known granary. If the drought does not improve, it will face huge losses.

The province attaches great importance to combating drought, and the provincial government held several meetings to discuss countermeasures in an attempt to alleviate the drought.

That day, Yuan Xia received a call from the secretary of the provincial general office, saying that Xinyang was going to dig some ditches in Beihu Lake to bring water to the lakeside for irrigation by the people along the lake.But there is no suitable excavator, and Xingyuan asked if there is an excavator that can work on soft mud.

Yuan Xia heard that it was related to people's livelihood and must be taken seriously, so he quickly asked someone to check to see how many ship excavators the company had.

Not long after, Ni Kuan came back and reported to Yuan Xia: "Mr. Yuan, one ship excavator has been assembled, and two more are being assembled."

Yuan Xia asked: "Did the customer order it? When is the delivery date?"

Ni Kuan looked at it and said: "The one that was finished was ordered by a customer in Chengdu. The delivery time is August 8th, and the two units that are still in production will be delivered on September 30th."

Yuan Xia said: "Hurry up and place an order for three more ship excavators, and work overtime for production. The delivery of the one on the 30th may be delayed a little, and I will call the customer to explain that his ship excavator has been requisitioned to fight the drought. The delivery will be delayed, and we will pay a certain breach of contract fee. The two units delivered on the 15th were quickly assembled in the past two days, and they were also shipped to Xinyang to fight the drought.”

Ni Kuan looked at Yuan Xia dumbfoundedly, and said, "Mr. Yuan, all three of these are sent to fight the drought?" There are more than 100 million ship excavators, and three are less than 500 million.

Yuan Xia said: "Take out that already assembled machine. I'll contact the provincial government first, and ask them to arrange someone to come and receive the machine quickly. There must be no delay in this matter, and we must hurry up. Tao Yang, notify the testing department to send two people Go on a business trip to Xinyang, arrange Xiao Zhong, let them prepare quickly, they will leave tonight or tomorrow."

Both Ni Kuan and Tao Yang rushed to arrange work. Their boss is very keen on this kind of thing. The boss said that with great ability comes great responsibility. This is his responsibility.

Yuan Xia called the province and reported the situation here: "Secretary Wang, we only have one boat excavator available for the time being. This is amphibious and can work on soft mud. It can be assembled in a few days Come out with two, let’s send one over first. I’ll send two excavator masters to help. Do you need other excavators?”

The other end said: "Thank you very much, and I need some others."

Yuan Xia said: "Then I will arrange ten more long-arm excavators. Ordinary excavators should be found locally." The sales of long-arm excavators are larger, and there is usually a certain amount of stock.

"Thank you, the province will compensate you for your losses."

Yuan Xia said: "Thank you, Secretary Wang. Let's think of it as my donation for the disaster victims. We can still use it as a second-hand mobile phone when the machine is used up. The loss is not big."

Secretary Wang said: "Okay, thank you very much! Thank you responsible entrepreneurs! We will arrange for someone to come and hand over."

Yuan Xia hurried to arrange a flatbed car and a driver, now not only two drivers are needed, but more than a dozen.He mobilized in the company, and some volunteers who were willing to go to disaster relief signed up.

A lot of people signed up voluntarily, but Yuan Xia didn't dare to bring more people. After all, it is the peak production season, and the company has to work overtime to catch up with the goods.

Yuan Xia brought 14 excavator and truck drivers, including himself, a total of 15 people.

That night, the disaster relief team assembled and drove to Xinyang overnight.

Yuan Xia didn't take Tao Yang with him, because he still needed to help him with business affairs and dock the remaining two ship excavators with the province.

The drought in August was unbearably hot, and those who dared to sign up to come out with Yuan Xia were warriors. Yuan Xia promised everyone that during this period of time they would work overtime, and each person would get three times the wages.

The car drove most of the night and arrived in Xinyang in the early morning of the next day.Yuan Xia found a hotel for everyone and slept for half the night. This sleep is necessary for a good sleep, because there will be a tough battle to be fought after dawn.

When I woke up the next morning, the provincial disaster relief commissioner called the leader of the Xinyang City Disaster Relief Office.The leader at the other end had a bad tone, and the strange person disturbed his dream.

When I heard that the province had sent a disaster relief team over, I was so scared that I woke up completely, and quickly apologized, saying that I slept too late the night before because I was directing the disaster relief work.

The provincial disaster relief commissioner said dryly: "These disaster relief volunteers and I drove over overnight and arrived in Xinyang at 02:30 in the morning. Now at 06:30, we have slept for less than four hours."

Early in the morning, the director of the Disaster Relief Office in Xinyang City was sweating all over: "You have worked hard. May I ask where you are now, I will come right away."

The disaster relief commissioner said, "Hurry up and arrange for someone to take us to places where the drought is severe and we need to dig rivers."

"I'll be there soon!"

Almost an hour later, Yuan Xia and his colleagues had breakfast and found a gas station to fill up the truck. The sun was starting to shine, and the director of the Municipal Disaster Relief Office led a few people to join them.

Yuan Xia frowned and looked at the sky, looking at the blue sky without a trace of cloud, thinking that he would be exposed to the sun all day, he felt sorry for his colleagues.But it's all here, this battle is still to be fought.

Yuan Xia's 11 vehicles were divided into two teams to dig aqueducts at different locations.

When Yuan Xia arrived at the lake, it was almost ten o'clock.Part of the diversion canal has been dug out by local excavators, but there are not many excavators, only five in total, and the tonnage of the excavators is not large, so the efficiency is a bit low.

It is said that it has been dug for three days, and the construction volume of the diversion channel has only been completed by one-third, and it seems that the depth is not enough.

Yuan Xia asked Xiao Zhong to drive the boat excavator to dig river channels on the silt, while he drove a long-arm excavator to dig.

The local machines are all rented from the county. These people no longer farm, so they don't understand the worries of farmers.Moreover, hiring an excavator is calculated on an hourly basis, so the work will naturally not be too stressful. When you are hot and thirsty, you will go to the big tree by the lake to rest.

On the other hand, Yuan Xia and the others, because they came to provide disaster relief, worked neatly and did not procrastinate at all.

I saw a few drivers who took the money feeling ashamed, because they already knew that these people who drove brand-new machines came for disaster relief for free, and they even brought their own machines, brand-new boat excavators and long-arm excavators. , which are more expensive than their machines.

Yuan Xia arranged for two colleagues to replace the others. Even though there is an air conditioner, it is still hot. If the heat is unbearable, or if you are thirsty, you will go down to rest and drink water, and let those who have rested work for a while.

By analogy, people can take short breaks by rotating each other, but the machine does not need to stop, so the efficiency is greatly improved.

They had been busy all day, until it was completely dark, and Yuanxia and the others did not call it a day. After they came here and worked for a day, they caught up with the sum of the workload of the five machines in the previous few days.

Dig another day the next day, and the water will almost pass through.They can also go to the next job site.

According to preliminary estimates, many such diversion canals will have to be dug.

Yuan Xia was really tired that day, and the disaster relief office arranged for them to stay in the best hotel in the county.In fact, Yuan Xia and the others didn't notice this at all, they fell asleep after eating and taking a shower.

Yuan Xia fell asleep before 09:30, it was impossible for him to fall asleep in Yuecheng at this time, and it could even be said that he hadn't gone to bed so early in many years.

So much so that Yu Xing called him one night, wanting to ask him about the disaster relief situation, but he couldn't wake him up, so he had to send him a message.

Yuan Xia woke up at 05:30 the next morning just after dawn. This is an appointment he made with those colleagues. Go early in the morning to cool off. You can do more work while you are early. Take a longer break at noon. Today’s completion time It can be earlier.

Yuan Xia looked at his phone, there was a call from Yu Xingyi and a message from him.He guessed that Yu Xingyi hadn't woken up yet, so he edited a short message and sent it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was sent, there was a call from there, Yu Xingyi also woke up very early, the two exchanged the situation briefly, then hung up the phone and went to work separately.

When they got to the lake, they saw a fellow villager laying mats and sleeping by the lake.When I asked, it turned out that the nearby villagers were afraid that someone would damage their excavator parked by the lake, so they took the initiative to guard the excavator for them.

Yuan Xia was very touched and said, "Thank you, sir, we are already here, you can go back and do your work. Don't worry, we will definitely help you dig the canal today and bring the water in."

The fellow with a face full of ravines smiled from ear to ear: "Really? You guys are much faster. We dug it in two days. We finally have water. Thank you, thank you!"
