In an instant, he remembered the anomaly in the previous conversation and immediately guessed the other party's purpose.

"Is it for the horizontal lathe technology?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian's heart instantly became alert. He felt that he should talk to Director Yang about this matter. If the other party really set his eyes on the horizontal lathe, then this matter would be tricky.

Especially at this critical moment, he did not think that the other party really could not obtain the horizontal lathe technology from them.

"Yang, don't worry. I will let Kislev apologize to everyone. Kislev, why don't you come over and apologize to Yang and the workers?"

Argis first said something to Director Yang, then turned and glared at Kislev, speaking loudly, as if he wanted everyone to hear him on purpose. He didn't even speak Russian, but still spoke Chinese.

When Kislev heard the translator's words, his eyes widened and he looked at Argis in disbelief. He really couldn't understand why Argis asked him to apologize to the workers.

You know, he was beaten by the workers, and now he has to apologize to them. He couldn't understand this.

Perhaps seeing Kislev's reluctance, Argis glared at him again, his eyes flashing with threats. Kislev, perhaps sensing the meaning in Argis's eyes, shuddered all over.

He walked over reluctantly, then turned around, bowed to the workers around him and said, "I'm sorry!"

After saying that, his face was full of embarrassment, and he walked out of the crowd without stopping.

"Yang, Kislev is ignorant. I will have a good talk with him about this matter when I get back. But to be honest, when things have developed to this point, Kislev is not the only one who is wrong, but your factory is also not doing the right thing!"

Argis and his companions watched Kislev leave in a hurry, then turned around and spoke to Director Yang.

Before Director Yang could ask, Algis continued, "According to what Kislev said, the horizontal lathes used in your factory are not from my country, so it is understandable that there is a problem. But Yang, when you ask us to repair the machine tool, can you give us the technical information first? After all, we don't even know the structure of the lathe, so it's hard to ensure the normal operation of the lathe!"

After hearing what Algis said, Director Yang was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed subtly. Obviously, he didn't expect Algis to make such a request.

Although he was not in charge of technology and did not know much about machine tool technology, he knew that the horizontal lathe in his factory was developed by Zhou Tian, ​​and it was confirmed by the ministry that it was one of the world's most advanced machine tools, even surpassing the world by nearly ten years. How could he agree to such a request?

After thinking for a while, he said, "Comrade Algis, although I am the director of the steel rolling mill, I cannot make the decision on this matter as it involves the technology of the lathe. How about this, I will ask my superiors for instructions after I go back. If the superiors agree, then we can talk about it. How about that?"

Now, Director Yang finally understood why Algis was so reasonable just now. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

"Okay, Yang. You know, we are here to support your steel mill and bring a lot of advanced technologies from our country. If you agree, I promise that these technologies will be no worse than your lathes!"

Perhaps realizing that Director Yang understood his intentions, Algis also showed his sincerity.

"Okay, I will report Comrade Algis's words verbatim! Comrade Algis, please rest assured!"

Director Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After seeing Algis off, Director Yang also sent away several deputy directors and a group of workers. Then he saw Zhou Tian who had been watching on the side. He immediately waved to Zhou Tian.

"Factory Director!" Zhou Tian walked over.

"Xiaotian, did you hear what Algis said just now?"

Although Director Yang didn't notice Zhou Tian just now, seeing Zhou Tian's serious expression at the moment, he knew that he might have heard what the other party said.

"Ok!"

Zhou Tian was silent for a moment, nodded, and did not deny it.

"Then what do you think?"

Director Yang said this, staring at him closely with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Director, this matter actually depends on how you do it!"

Zhou Tian did not answer directly, but looked at Director Yang and asked back. After all, the other party's attitude had been made clear just now, and it depended on how the director wanted to decide. He had originally thought that if the other party did not explain, he would remind the director, but now it seemed that there was no need for him to remind him.

"Xiaotian, tell me honestly, is it worth it to trade the horizontal lathe for some of Big Brother's technology?"

Director Yang did not respond, but thought for a moment and continued to ask. It was obvious that he was a little tempted.

"this?........."

Director Yang's words immediately put Zhou Tian in a dilemma. He didn't know how to answer. After all, it was definitely worthwhile to exchange the horizontal lathe for some technology from Big Brother, but it depended on what technology could be exchanged? It also depended on whether the technology given by Big Brother was the most advanced at the moment, and the most important point was whether the other party would play tricks.

Just like in the past, although Big Brother supported a lot of domestic industries, he always kept some technology in reserve, which led to many equipment problems after Big Brother broke with my country. It has to be said that Big Brother's help to my country was not sincere.

However, Zhou Tian could understand this point. After all, there could be no selfless help in transactions between countries.

Now it is 1952, and some of Big Brother's technologies are still very good, especially in military technology, which is not inferior to the Bald Eagle. At the same time, its industrial development is not inferior to the entire Western world, otherwise Big Brother would not have become one of the two poles of the world.

If we can exchange it for aerospace technology, nuclear energy technology, and aviation technology, then we will definitely not suffer any loss, but we are afraid that the other party will not exchange it.

"Director, this is not something I can interfere with. Of course, since you asked me, I'll tell you what I think. If I can exchange it for the other party's technology, I would prefer to exchange it for some aerospace technology!"

Zhou Tian thought about it and gave the suggestion.

Although Big Brother may be stronger in military technology, Zhou Tian's memory comes from his past life, and he knows very well that the future belongs to aerospace. However, the domestic aerospace industry has just started, and many things are fragmented and unsystematic.

If we can exchange the space technology of Big Brother, then our space industry can enter space at least ten years earlier. This will greatly promote the development of our space industry and even the economy.

On the contrary, it is the aviation industry. It is not that Zhou Tian does not attach importance to it, but compared with aerospace, aviation has developed quite well in the country in the previous life.

"Aerospace?" Director Yang nodded. "Okay, Xiaotian, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first!"

After thinking about it, Director Yang decided to ask for the opinions of his superiors first. He said something to Zhou Tian and hurried away with Zheng Weiguo.

After watching Director Yang leave, Zhou Tian returned to his office and began to think about how to use the horizontal lathe to gain greater benefits.

After all, from Director Yang's question just now, he had already vaguely guessed the changes in Director Yang's heart. Since he might not be able to stop the general trend, he naturally didn't mind letting the country gain some potential benefits in this regard.
