Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Ma Lu was at the shipyard, concentrating on building ships and not listening to what was going on outside the window. He actually didn't recognize Jiang Chen.

However, this does not hinder communication between them at all.

Malu is very good at communication, but Bailu's own culture is limited, so she can't talk to her about many things.

Therefore, I suppressed a lot of things in my heart and wanted to find someone to talk to.

When I met Jiang Chen today, he seemed to be the most suitable person to talk to.

Although he is more than ten years older than Jiang Chen, he is still considered a young man, and there is no generation gap when communicating with each other.

And the two of them had a great time chatting.

Of course, the most important thing is that they don't have much interaction with each other. It's over after everyone talks, so there is no need to worry about the subsequent consequences.

In fact, Jiang Chen knew that special steel was only one of the apparent limitations in building large ships, and standards were the biggest problem that had plagued Zhonghua Shipbuilding for many years.

Only by solving these problems can Chinese ships truly go global.

That was a powerful tool for creating foreign exchange, much more powerful than his Sangang machine tool.

Originally, it would take more than twenty years to open the world market, but now Jiang Chen hopes that this time can be brought forward.

Because the vast ocean hides too many opportunities and challenges.

The conversation on the road made Jiang Chen decide that he would focus on the research and development of Q345 when he returned.

At the same time, with 345 as the core, other alloy steels were also developed.

When they arrived at Gangdu Railway Station, it was already past seven in the evening, and they were about to say goodbye here.

Jiang Chen and Shangguan Wan'er are going to the steelmaking plant in Gangdu, while Malu and Bailu are going back to Bincheng.

Malu said: "Next time you come here, stay longer. When you come to Bincheng, I will treat you to something good."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I have a feeling that we will meet again soon."

Malu smiled and said, "Really? That's great."

After bidding farewell to the two of them, Jiang Chen and Shangguan Wan'er found the vehicle that came to pick them up at the door and went straight to the guest house.

Under normal circumstances, business trip accommodation requires a letter of introduction from the unit and the "Tourist Reception Station" in each city to accept you, and they will arrange food and accommodation.

Hotels, inns, and guest houses are not allowed to receive guests privately, and even accommodation in bathhouses must be arranged through the reception station.

If you are unlucky, the reception station will arrange for you a certain bathhouse, or some kind of air-raid shelter basement. They are all big bungalows, and you won't be able to sleep at all!

Of course, for ordinary people at this time.

Some key personnel can directly book rooms in big hotels with their work permits.

Jiang Chen and Shangguan Wan'er were high-level technical talents, especially since Shangguan Wan'er was a girl, so the steel mill specially arranged two rooms for them in a nearby guest house.

This can be regarded as a kind of preferential treatment for technical personnel.

When they arrived at the guest house, the driver helped the two of them carry the salute to the room, and then said: "Director Jiang, Team Leader Shangguan, and the leaders have prepared dinner in the canteen and are waiting for the two comrades."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Huh? It's so late, hasn't your leader eaten yet?"

The driver said: "They had something to fill their stomachs in the afternoon and are waiting for the two comrades to come and have dinner together."

Jiang Chen said: "Then let's go there quickly and don't keep them waiting."

At the same time, he became more and more certain that the Gangdu Steelmaking Plant invited them here not just for observation, but for other purposes.

This guest house is right next to the steel plant.

The tall open hearths of the steelworks can be seen from the windows.

A group of three people walked to the canteen.

The master led Jiang Chen forward: "Director Wu, Representative Gao, Director Wang, Director Jiang and Team Leader Shangguan are here."

Director Wu, named Wu Ren, has been the director of the steelmaking plant for many years.

Representative Gao, named Gao Tianliang, joined the steelmaking plant as a representative after the public-private partnership.

Director Wang, named Wang Quanmin, is responsible for managing the steel production department of the Steel City Steel Plant.

This three-person team can be said to have a very luxurious lineup.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Hello, leaders, it's a long journey, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Wu Ren said: "Director Jiang, you have worked hard all the way."

"We drank tea and chatted. Time ran out and we didn't wait too long."

Gao Tianliang said: "Director Jiang has been on the train for a whole day. He must be hungry by now. Let's serve some food first."

The driver immediately got up and went to the kitchen to announce that the food would be served.

After a while, the kitchen started serving food.

First came the stews and cold dishes, then the freshly stir-fried stir-fries.

The dinner was sumptuous.

As the largest steelmaking plant in the country at the time, the Gangdu Steelmaking Plant was a long-established department-level unit, and its reception standards were much higher than those of Sangang Group.

After the dishes were served, the driver took out the liquor and poured each of them a glass. .

Gao Tianliang said: "We welcome Director Jiang and Team Leader Shangguan to come to guide the work, and I would like to thank them for their great contributions to the development of our factory."

"Let's toast you two together for this first glass of wine."

After speaking, he picked up the wine glass.

Jiang Chen glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Wan'er doesn't drink much. It's okay if she expresses her gratitude."

After that, I clinked glasses with everyone and cheered.

After finishing the drink, Gao Tianliang said: "Okay, you must be hungry now. Eat vegetables first to fill your stomach."

Eating the food first means that you will have to drink a lot of wine later.

Jiang Chen wasn't afraid at all of drinking.

He is really qualified to say this: When it comes to drinking, everyone here is rubbish.

He smiled and said: "I'm really hungry, how about we start?"

This is not a lie.

After eating in the morning, Shangguan Wan'er and I had something to eat on the train at noon.

The food on trains nowadays is really unpalatable.

Gao Tianliang smiled and said: "Let's move, let's move! Factory Director Wu, Director Wang, move your chopsticks."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of cold pork head into his mouth.

Generally, when the host moves the chopsticks, everyone can use the chopsticks.

It can be seen from these details that Gao Tianliang, the leadership team of Gangdu Steelmaking Plant, has absolute power.

Not only this factory, but most factories across the country are like this.

The status of the representative is already higher than that of the factory director.

Only Sanshan Iron and Steel Group is an exception.

When Yang Weimin was there, he and Tao Yuan cooperated with each other.

Later, Yan Jincheng was another person with a strong desire to control. He wanted to control everything, so he and Tao Yuan had nothing to do with each other, and each of them was doing their own thing.

After Gao Tianliang moved his chopsticks, Jiang Chen was not polite and moved his chopsticks.

He also said to Shangguan Wan'er beside him: "It tastes so good. You're hungry too. Eat something quickly."

"Well, okay!" As long as she is not at work, Shangguan Wan'er is a well-educated and sensible lady.

After eating for a while, Gao Tianliang put down his chopsticks and raised his wine glass:

"Director Jiang, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to the steelmaking plant to guide the work. Come, let's toast Director Jiang together."

Wu Ren and Wang Quanmin also raised their glasses.

Jiang Chen said: "Several leaders, you are serious. I am here to observe and learn."

"The Steelmaking Plant in Gangdu has been so successful in recent years. It must have a secret that is worth learning from factories across the country."

"I would like to express my gratitude to the leaders for their warm hospitality."

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Several other people also smiled and said a few polite words and drank from their glasses.
