Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

A few days later, the people from Yuanxia had arrived in Ningbo.

Si Haibo's wedding was very grand. The wealthy Si Haibo rented a motorcade of Santanas to meet his relatives. A dozen of Santanas with big red Chinese characters on them were very ostentatious, attracting many passersby to stop and watch.

Yuan Xia didn't buy a wedding gift, he used metal to weld a small sculpture for Si Haibo that would last for a hundred years, and polished it to a shiny finish.In addition, a red envelope of [-] yuan was given to let the young couple buy what they were short of.

In fact, apart from the house, the young couple lacked nothing. All the home appliances were imported from Japan, and the car was a Japanese motorcycle, which cost [-] yuan.

The reason why he doesn't have a house is because the house can only be distributed and cannot be bought or sold by private individuals, so Si Haibo lives in his old house, which means he lives with his uncle.

At the wedding, Yuan Xia met Si Haibo's parents for the first time. They were soldiers over half a century old in military uniform, and they got along too little with their son, more than polite, not enough intimacy, but uncle and aunt were more like parents.

Yuan Xia met Si Hongjin's boyfriend for the first time, a gentle university lecturer who graduated from Zhejiang University and taught at a local university in Ningbo. He doesn't talk much and has a somewhat reserved personality.

When Yuan Xia saw Si Hongjin's boyfriend, he couldn't help but think of Liu Yang. They were two extremes of personality, and Si Hongjin's preferences spanned a bit.

When Yuan Xia chatted with them, the most talked about was going abroad. Si Hongjin's boyfriend was applying to go to the United States for inspection.

Si Hongjin said: "I am also applying to study abroad, but I have graduated two or three years ago, so it is more troublesome to apply. If he succeeds, I can accompany him as a family member."

Yuan Xia persuaded: "Senior Sister, isn't it good to stay in the country? The country is booming and needs talents like you."

Si Hongjin said: "I heard that gold is everywhere in the United States, and there are small mansions and cars in every family. I want to see what corrupt capitalism looks like."

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "From an economic point of view, it's pretty good. After all, they completed the Industrial Revolution 200 years earlier than us, and they were not damaged by the war, but made a few war windfalls. Remember to come back."

Si Hongjin smiled and said, "I will definitely come back, my family is here. But it's too early to say, I don't even know if I can go."

Yuan Xia knew that he couldn’t be persuaded. In the 80s and 90s, the better the economy, the more people were keen to go abroad, because they had much more channels to learn about foreign information than the mainland.For some Chinese people in this period, European and American countries were like heaven.

"Even if you are going abroad, you still need to remember to keep in touch, let me know about the current state of machinery in western countries." Yuan Xia said.

"No problem, as long as I can go out, I will definitely contact you." Si Hongjin said.

Si Haibo said to Yuan Xia: "Hong Jin is so dazed about going abroad, she and Qiu Kai are actually not suitable at all, but she only agreed to be with him when she heard that he might go abroad."

Yuan Xia couldn't help asking: "Why is Qiu Kai inappropriate?"

Si Haibo said: "He's very machismo, don't look at him as gentle, he's actually very stubborn. My sister is such a strong-willed person, and she often listens to him and coaxes him."

Yuan Xia couldn't help thinking of Liu Yang again, and couldn't help shaking her head: "Senior sister Hongjin is so good, in fact, she can go abroad through other channels. It's a bit difficult to apply for studying abroad, and it's not like there is no chance at all."

"I don't know what she thinks. She is the only girl in our family, and everyone in the family is reluctant to let her go abroad. She is so far away, and she can't come back for a few years. She has a good idea, and she can do whatever she wants. It was the same when she went to Yuecheng to go to university. She chose it by herself, saying that being too close to home is meaningless." Si Haibo really loved his cousin, but there was nothing he could do about her.

Yuan Xia didn't think there was anything wrong with Si Hongjin's going abroad, but she was a little worried when she heard about her boyfriend's personality. Is such a relationship really reciprocal?But as a friend, I can't help myself.

Yuan Xia discussed with Si Haibo about finding an agency company to buy engines. Si Haibo introduced a foreign trade company in Shanghai, saying that a friend had done import business from this foreign trade company, and the price was considered fair.

Yuan Xia intends to go to Shanghai to inquire about the situation, at least how much he needs to do it.

After Si Haibo's wedding was over, Yuan Xia went directly to Shanghai. When he took a bus and passed the US Consulate General in Shanghai on Huaihai Road, he saw a long queue outside the door. Most of them were young women. They should all have visas to go abroad. The young face is filled with vigorous vigor and joy, as if the next step is to enter heaven.

Yuan Xia can only sigh, the allure of the American dream is so great, in a few decades, we will also be able to mention the Chinese dream, but this fertile soil for dreaming still needs to be cultivated by my own generation.

The business of the foreign trade company is extremely busy, and the phones of the salesmen are ringing non-stop. If there is no introduction from an acquaintance, the other party may not be willing to take the time to receive Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia expressed his purpose of coming, the other party frowned and said, "How many engines do you plan to install?"

"Do you have a limit on the amount? The minimum amount will be handled?" Yuan Xia asked.

The other party said: "Theoretically there is no, but the quantity is too small, customs declaration is troublesome, and the goods are easy to be lost."

Yuan Xia said: "Then can you help me understand the market first? I want to see the quotation before deciding how much to order."

The other party nodded: "Okay, let me help you understand."

Yuan Xia said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, I will stay in Shanghai for a few days, and I will come to ask the results in two days." In fact, it is also possible to contact by phone, but it is not convenient to communicate by phone, and he plans to go to another house to have a look. than three.

Yuan Xia went to find several foreign trade companies by himself, and in the end, the one introduced by Si Haibo had a more favorable price. There were both American and Japanese brands, and the Japanese ones were the cheapest, so Yuan Xia decided to buy Japanese ones.

The price of an engine is 4000 RMB, which is one thousand dollars, which is really expensive.But now it's a seller's market. He said that as much as you want, you have to pay for it.

Yuan Xia gritted his teeth and placed an order for ten units, which is already the minimum requirement of a foreign trade company.Yuan Xia also lacked funds, and even this money was borrowed from Si Haibo.

When Yuan Xia came this time, he first repaid Si Haibo 1 yuan, but immediately borrowed another [-] yuan.The old debts were not gone, but new debts came again. In a short period of time, Si Haibo's debts would be repaid.

Fortunately, Si Haibo was righteous and willing to borrow money.Yuan Xia decided that Si Haibo could be regarded as his nobleman.

As soon as Yu Xing learned about the price of the engine, he was also very depressed. A small engine can actually match the price of a tractor. The technology is in the hands of others, so he can only let it go.

He gritted his teeth and insisted on conquering the engine. He couldn't do anything with a large mechanical engine, and he didn't believe that this small engine could be dealt with.

If the material and precision can’t meet the requirements, then improve it. If the machine can’t be so fine, just make it bigger. If the performance remains the same, there is always a way.

As soon as he said it, Yu Xingyi took the initiative to apply for an electric sewing machine research and development project with the school, and recruited outstanding students from different majors to participate in the research and development. Can't overcome it.

Yuan Xia was very pleasantly surprised when he learned that Yu Xingyi had applied for the project: "I provide sponsorship, and I will give as much as I can."

Three months later, Yuan Xia made another trip to Shanghai and brought back the engine imported from Japan.

Yu Xingyi led a few students, hurriedly and quickly, and finally produced the electric sewing machine before the opening of the Spring Canton Fair in 1986. Strictly speaking, it was assembled, because the core engine was made in Japan, and all other materials were made of It is domestic.

Yuanxia also applied for the exhibition quota of the Spring Canton Fair early, and was lucky to get the qualification to participate in the exhibition.

The Canton Fair is commonly known as the China Import and Export Fair. It will be held from April 4th to 18rd. The 23th is Yu Xingyi’s birthday, but Yuan Xia has no time to celebrate his birthday with him. He has to go to Guangzhou in advance to set up a booth. , This birthday can only be made up for him when he comes back.

Yuan Xia brought five electric sewing machines with him, besides Qin Lin and Qu Wenyuan.

Qu Wenyuan is a member of Yu Xingyi's research group. He has been guaranteed research and has no classes to attend. The electric sewing machine is his graduation project. He only needs to compile the data into a thesis and wait for the thesis defense. The time is the most free, so Yuan Xia brought him along.

In the 80s, the scale of the Canton Fair was definitely not as large as it was later, but compared to the industry exchange meeting held in Yuecheng last year, the Canton Fair was considered huge.

The complete range of exhibited products can be said to be the highest in the country. There are not only manufacturers from all over the country, but also manufacturers from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and domestic and foreign purchasers gather.

As long as he can sign a few orders, Yuan Xia will make money.

On April 4th, Yuanxia arrived in Guangzhou, and rushed to the exhibition on the same day.Fortunately, this is not the first time for him to participate in this kind of exhibition. He has already printed the slogans and signs in advance, and pasted them on the designated booth.

The exhibition hall where Yuan Xia is located is the exhibition hall of machinery and equipment. Here he saw the large-scale construction machinery, excavators, bulldozers, etc., which made his blood boil, all of which were familiar brands of the United States, Japan and Germany. Gritting his teeth, he must step on them again in the future.

Compared with these heavy machinery, Yuanxia's electric sewing machine is not very attractive, and its booth is much smaller. Moreover, it is a small factory and its location is relatively remote. Although it is not a corner, it is also very marginal.

Qu Wenyuan said worriedly: "Brother, our position is so remote, can we sell it?"

Ever since he fell in love with Yuan Qiu, he directly changed his name to Brother Yuan Xia.

"Of course, just wait. Be more patient and don't be so impatient." Yuan Xia criticized him.

Qu Wenyuan laughed: "Brother taught you a lesson! I'm too eager for quick success."

Yuan Xia didn't say anything, of course he was worried about himself.

Whether it can be sold or not will be known in a few days.
