"Comrade Wilson, everyone, please stop pretending. I don't believe you can't see that it is an oxygen top-blown converter."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Pretentious!"

After all, the other party is the chief engineer of a company. It is understandable that he doesn't know anything about electronic products, but if he doesn't even know about oxygen top-blown converters, doesn't that seem a bit too fake?

"Hahaha, Director Zhou, you must be joking. Although we are familiar with oxygen top-blown converters, we have never seen one in person. So it's inevitable that we are a little out of control when we see it for the first time!"

Wilson was very angry about what Zhou Tian said, but he still tried hard to maintain his composure on the surface. As for the other Western technicians, they didn't care about the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two men.

They kept discussing with surprised tones, and looked at Zhou Tian from time to time with expectation in their eyes. It was obvious that they wanted Zhou Tian to allow them to go in and take a look.

However, Zhou Tian was not moved at all. What a joke! He was the one who supervised the construction of the oxygen top-blown converter. Although the technology of oxygen top-blown converter already existed internationally, up to now, Austria was the only country in the world that had it. In November 1952, the world's first oxygen top-blown converter factory was built in Linz. Other countries did not have the ability to build it. If they allowed the engineers from the big brother to visit so easily, wouldn't they be able to steal their skills? Zhou Tian would not do such a losing business.

Even if he wanted to visit, he would not agree unless the other party was willing to pay a huge price.

Seeing Zhou Tian looking around and talking about something, several engineers from Big Brother began to talk excitedly to Zals. Zals looked extremely ugly as he listened to the engineers' stories.

But for the sake of the country and the company, even though he knew Zhou Tian did not have a good impression of him, he still stepped forward a few steps to Zhou Tian's side and asked him: "Comrade Zhou, I wonder if we can visit the oxygen top-blown converter in your machinery factory!"

"Comrade Zales, it's not that I don't agree with this matter, but I simply can't make the decision!"

Seeing Zales' pleading look, Zhou Tian spread his hands and refused.

Seeing that Zhou Tian's path was blocked, he couldn't help but look at Yue Changshan and others standing aside.

“Dear Yue, can you help us with this matter? For this, we can provide you with three hundred WD413 inline 4-cylinder 5.3-liter 85-horsepower diesel engines for free!”

After hearing Zales' proposal, Yue Changshan was a little moved, but his eyes turned to Zhou Tian. He knew that he would not dare to agree to it without Zhou Tian's permission.

Zhou Tian met Yue Changshan's gaze, but shook his head slightly at him, which made his heart sink instantly.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Zales, I can't help you with this!"

Without the permission from the two, Zals's expression became gloomy for a moment, and he turned to talk to a few engineers beside him.

After hearing this, several engineers became dissatisfied and kept talking to Zales and Wilson, which made the two men look unhappy.

In this regard, Zhou Tian did not disturb the few people, but walked to Yue Changshan and asked: "Minister Yue, I am not offending you just now, but you should know that the nature of our Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory is that many things cannot be visited by the other party!"

Originally, Yue Changshan was still dissatisfied with Zhou Tian's refusal, but when he heard Zhou Tian's explanation, he was suddenly awakened and broke out in a cold sweat.

To be honest, it seemed that since he received the order from Wells, he only knew that the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory was a factory under the Ministry of Machinery. However, when he brought Wilson and others to inspect, he learned the nature of the machinery factory from the minister.

The minister repeatedly reminded him not to be curious about things that are not allowed to be visited. He had reminded himself again and again when he came here, but now he actually neglected it.

"I understand, Director Zhou, it's my problem!"

Yue Changshan immediately apologized and said that it would be fine if he didn't know, but now he clearly knew the nature of the machinery factory. If he dared to go against Zhou Tian's wishes, he believed that the state staff would come directly to his door the next day.

He might even be from the military, and by then it would be too late for him to regret.

“Dear Yue, Director Zhou, do we really have no chance to visit?”

Perhaps unwilling to give up, Wilson also walked up to the two and asked, seeing that they were silent, he continued to tempt them: "Director Zhou, Yue, if you can fulfill our wish, we will directly provide 30,000 tractors to your country, is that okay?"

If the three hundred engines just now were not enough to make them excited, then he thought that the thirty thousand tractors should be enough to make the two of them consider it.

Hearing Wilson's temptation, both Zhou Tian and Yue Changshan shook their heads. For Zhou Tian, ​​thirty thousand taels of silver was a lot of money for a tractor, but in his opinion, the tractor provided by Big Brother was not as good as the one produced by his own machinery factory, especially when equipped with the newly developed engine, which could be said to be enough to beat Big Brother's tractor in terms of horsepower.

Now it is only limited by the scale of the machinery factory and the lack of raw materials that large-scale production is impossible. As long as these two problems are solved, let alone 30,000 tractors, even 300,000 tractors will not be a problem in his opinion.

"Okay, Comrade Wilson, aren't you here to order machine tools at the machinery factory? As for the oxygen top-blown converter, if you really want to visit it, you must seek permission from above. I've already said that I can't make the decision!"

Seeing that Wilson was about to say something, Zhou Tian waved his hand to interrupt him.

"OK then!"

Seeing that things could not be done, Wilson, Zales and several engineers could only follow Zhou Tian to the factory director's office with regret.

We sat together and talked about the order and determined the order quantity.

After having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Zhou Tian asked Song Weiguo to take a few people to visit the workshop in the afternoon. Anyway, the machine tools in the workshop had been replaced with the original models.

He had nothing to worry about. At most, he was worried that they might be able to see something. However, he had also instructed the technicians in the machinery factory yesterday not to disclose the specific data of the machine tools.

He just didn't believe that they could steal his latest research under such strict security.

In the blink of an eye, as the sky gradually darkened, Wilson and his team finished their visit to the workshop and returned to the office. As soon as they entered the office, several people said excitedly, "Director Zhou, this is the product produced by your factory!"

As he said this, he gave Zhou Tian a thumbs up with some excitement.

And Zals and several engineers behind him also had excited looks on their faces, and they kept arguing with each other.
