Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

In Fang Xiang's impression, the external environment in the 1960s was actually very bad.

But this kind of evil also depends on the target.

Just like the Soviet Union in the north and the United States across the ocean, they are naturally bad.

But apart from these two countries, the relations with other countries are actually quite good.

Especially the Asian, African, Latin American countries and some brother countries in Central and Southern Europe.

However, the time has not yet come when, due to the storm, we will drift away from some countries and even become alienated from them.

The country of Argentina in southeastern Europe received more than one billion US dollars in government aid.

Everyone should be familiar with the incident in which they were stabbed in the back later.

Therefore, if there are products that can be held, there is still a large window for cooperation and transactions.

But the biggest problem is that domestic supplies are all planned.

You produce as much as the government approves for you.

As for exporting abroad?

Today is not like the era of later generations when Chinese products will be all over the world.

First you need the approval, then the export quota, and finally the transaction settlement.

One link after another, if one place gets stuck, the whole line will not be able to function.

Therefore, even if Fang Xiang wanted to engage in import and export trade in this special period, there would be great risks and resistance.

However, no matter how much you think while staying in the house, it is just like putting a stone in front of yourself.

Then tell yourself, look, there is an obstacle here, don't go there.

"Hey, Professor, I have something I want to ask you."

As a man of action, Fang Xiang picked up the phone and called Shuimu directly.

Fortunately, the professor happened to be there.

"Well, tell me what's going on."

Professor Xu's voice came from the receiver, and he seemed a little happy?

"Look, if I can build a batch of civilian cars, is there a chance we can export them?"

Fang Xiang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Civilian vehicles? Export?

Please tell me more specifically. "

The professor sounded quite interested.

“I understand that an island country in the east now produces a small-displacement civilian car.

It sells well in their country, and recently a lot of it has been exported to European and American countries.

I think this is a good way to earn foreign exchange.

I think I can build this kind of car, but I don’t know if our country has any ideas in this regard.”

Fang Xiang directly brought out the Corolla used in daily life as an example.

"An island country? Small cars? Export to earn foreign exchange?"

The professor seemed to be digesting this information.

“Yes, the island nation is a resource-scarce country and all resources need to be imported.

They import raw materials into the country, and then carry out secondary and tertiary processing to produce semi-finished products.

Then, the automobile manufacturers will build small civilian cars that the general public can afford based on market demand.

Not only can it make profits, but it can also create a virtuous internal cycle for domestic industries.

After exporting to foreign countries, not only can we earn a lot of foreign exchange, but we can also import cheap and high-quality resources from these countries.

On this basis, a large number of jobs can be created in their country.

I think this is a very good opportunity.

If we can make a car in our daily life, we can also make one. Especially for me, it is not difficult at all.

So, I wonder if we can do the same thing?"

It may be an exaggeration to say that Fang knew the model of the automobile industry in later generations very well.

But after watching a lot of short videos, it is still no problem to understand its basic operations.

"What you said is a good idea, but the question is, who should we sell it to?"

After pondering for a moment, the professor raised a very realistic question.

"Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Southern Europe."

Fang Xiang gave a simple and clear answer.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such an international perspective.

So, I am very clear about the domestic part you mentioned, and we can do it.

But the external environment is very complex, and we can’t just talk about it behind closed doors.

I have to go ask, wait for my news."

The professor sounded very interested in the proposal the other party wanted to put forward.

"Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up now."

When Fang Xiang heard that Professor Xu was interested, he knew that at least the first step had been taken.

"Don't worry, are you busy recently? If not, go back to the capital."

Just when Fang was about to hang up the phone, Professor Xu suddenly asked him to return to Beijing.

"Going back to the capital? What's the matter?"

Fang Xiang asked casually.

"There are more than one good thing, you can tell me when you come back.

If you are lucky, you may be able to see the result of the matter you just mentioned when you arrive in the capital."

Professor Xu didn't say much and hung up the phone.

Looking at the busy tone on the receiver, Fang Xiang shook his head. Professor Xu was always like this, he would only finish his sentences halfway.

If I want to go back to Beijing, I have to arrange things here.

First of all, should I ask Yin Qingqiu to wait for me to come back? Or should I ask her to go to work at the heavy machinery factory first?

And Liu Shuying said last time that she would come over too, so... should we wait a little longer?

"Hello, brother, I'm Fang Xiang."

Thinking of this, Fang picked up the phone again and called Liu Qiwen.

"what happened?"

Liu Qiwen's voice came.

"Professor Xu called me just now and asked me to go back to Beijing.

He said there were a few good things, but didn't say much over the phone.

I will probably go back to Beijing in the next two days. Has Shuying said when I will leave?"

Fang Xiang briefly explained the situation.

"No, then let me call her back and ask her to wait for you at home."

After communicating with Liu Qiwen, he hung up the phone.

The only one left is Yin Qingqiu.

"Brother, the professor called and asked me to go back to Beijing.

I'll leave the matters here to you."

I went downstairs, walked to Cao Tianwei's office, and said hello to Cao Tianwei.

Fang Xiang went to the office again to sign a trip to Beijing. After telling Director Ma about it, he drove back home.

"Why did you come back so early today? Did you miss me?"

As soon as he entered the house, Yin Qingqiu, who was washing vegetables, ran out from the kitchen, hugged Fang Xiang's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.

"Come, sit down and talk."

Fang Xiang hugged Yin Qingqiu and sat on the sofa.

"I have already communicated with the heavy machinery factory next door. You can go to the factory doctor's office to work at any time.

It's not about being a nurse, it's about being a doctor. Now it depends on when you are ready to go."

As soon as Fang Xiang sat down, Yin Qingqiu hurriedly began to pour tea for Fang Xiang, acting like a virtuous wife who always revolved around her husband.

"Can we not go for the time being? Wait until your junior sister comes?"

Yin Qingqiu, who was making tea, gave a sad look.

“I just received a call from my supervisor, asking me to go to Beijing this afternoon.

I don't know when I will be back yet, so will you wait for me at home or go to work first?"

Fang Xiang took the cold-brewed floral tea that Yin Qingqiu had prepared in advance and took a sip.

"I'll wait for you at home, okay?"

Yin Qingqiu squatted on the ground, like a pitiful kitten, looking at Fang Xiang with a look of grievance in his eyes.

"Okay, whatever you want. I'll go out and buy some vegetables and meat, and leave you some money.

You can stay at home first and wait for me to come back. "

Fang Xiang nodded and stood up. This Yin Qingqiu was like a goblin.

I have a thorough understanding of his thoughts.

"Well, before you leave, can you eat one more time?"

Just as he finished speaking, Yin Qingqiu stopped Fang Xiang who was about to go out and came closer to him.
