Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Ever since the factory got back on track and was able to complete the department's tasks on time, to be honest, Chen Changan really has nothing to do.

Two-wheeled motorcycles and three-wheeled cargo motorcycles are no longer a problem for today's motorcycle manufacturers.

Chen Changan also has no plans to develop other models of motorcycles.

After all, today's motorcycle factories can only barely complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.

When developing a new model of motorcycle, with the current capabilities of motorcycle factories, it is impossible to balance the task and the research and development of new models.

Only after production increases can we allocate some people to carry out technical accumulation.

You can wait until the current motorcycles are no longer selling well or can no longer be sold overseas.

Chen Changan would consider making new models, such as larger motorcycles or scooters.

When we arrive at the factory in the morning, we have meetings if there is something to do, and we just go about our own business if not.

Chen Changan read the newspaper and then walked around the workshop to make his presence felt.

I go to the cafeteria to have lunch at noon, return to the office to rest for a while, and then when it’s time to go to work, I take another newspaper to continue reading.

Just like that, a day passed.

Today, after get off work, Chen Changan rode his motorcycle back home with Nan Yi.

After all, I have to have dinner with Hou Mingjun and Nan Yi in the evening.

How can we eat if the cook can't be here? After coming back, Nan Yi said, "Leave the food to me. Just wait and eat."

Chen Changan felt very embarrassed. It was his decision to treat everyone. Nan Yi had also worked a whole day and had to cook in the evening.

But then I thought about how many children there are in their family, so I'll just give them more of the meat later.

As the workers from the steel rolling mill and the motorcycle factory got off work one after another, Liang Ladi and Hou Mingjun also returned to the yard one after another.

Upon learning that Nan Yi was cooking and Chen Changan was providing the ingredients, Hou Mingjun and his wife felt a little embarrassed.

Hou Mingjun also arranged for his wife to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some wine and snacks, which could be considered a return gift.

Chen Changan was just smoking and chatting with Hou Mingjun in the yard when he saw the second uncle Liu Haizhong coming to the front yard with a big belly.

First, he asked Chen Changan, "Changan, is this new resident in the courtyard also from your motorcycle factory?"

After seeing Chen Changan nod, he continued to flatter him, "It's you, Changan, who turned the motorcycle factory from a wasteland into a large factory that is not inferior to the steel mill. Now, who in this city doesn't know about the motorcycle factory?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changan just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Chen Changan didn't respond, Liu Haizhong didn't know what to do.

After all, I had looked for Chen Changan for my son's job, but Chen Changan didn't give me face.

Liu Haizhong has been doing this for most of his life and has taught many apprentices. But at the same time, his lifelong wish of becoming a leader has not yet been fulfilled.

This means wanting to be a leader while also respecting the leader.

Liu Haizhong didn't take the director of a small motorcycle factory seriously at the time. After all, Liu Haizhong felt that whether he had graduated from elementary school was still a question.

This motorcycle factory may not be able to make motorcycles. After all, as an old neighbor for so many years, how could he not know Chen Changan's background?

In his original opinion, it was just a business of making honeycomb coal under the guise of a motorcycle factory.

Who would have thought that today's motorcycle factories are no worse than their steel mills. I heard that almost all the motorcycles they produce are not sold domestically, but exported to foreign countries.

Earning money from foreigners is called foreign exchange. Listen, how exciting it is.

Correspondingly, Liu Haizhong became more and more in awe of Chen Changan.

After all, he had to bow and scrape when he met Li Huaide, the deputy factory director. Chen Changan was a leader one level higher than Li Huaide.

If they hadn't been neighbors for decades and had watched Chen Changan grow up, it would be too embarrassing. Otherwise, Liu Haizhong would have to curry favor with Chen Changan.

Seeing that Chen Changan ignored him, Liu Haizhong did not dare to approach him to talk, so he had to ask Hou Mingjun, "Is this the new neighbor who moved into our courtyard?"

Hou Mingjun saw that Chen Changan didn't like to pay much attention to this old man. Knowing Chen Changan's character, Hou Mingjun believed that there must be something he didn't know.

After all, the person was still there, so it was not easy to ask too many questions. I just followed Chen Changan and nodded.

Liu Haizhong continued, "I am the second uncle who is in charge of our courtyard. According to the old rules of our courtyard, when new neighbors come, we will hold a general meeting of the whole courtyard.

The purpose is to introduce new neighbors and let everyone get to know each other."

Hou Mingjun looked at Chen Changan without knowing what was going on. When Chen Changan nodded, he said to Liu Haizhong, "Second Master, since this is the old rule of the courtyard, I will do whatever is required during the meeting."

Liu Haizhong nodded in satisfaction. After all, this front yard was almost becoming the site of the motorcycle factory.

If they are unwilling to attend the whole school meeting, with Chen Changan backing them up, Liu Haizhong really doesn't know what to do.

As long as this new neighbor is willing to attend the general meeting, at least he and Lao Yi can still take some initiative.

Liu Haizhong said, "Then let's wait until after dinner, which will be in the Intermediate Court. Director Chen will also be there. If there is anything we did wrong, we still need your advice."

Chen Changan said quickly, "Second uncle, don't say that. You and First uncle have been the uncles in charge of the courtyard for so many years.

He is much more experienced than a young man like me. I am really not as good as you and the old man in handling these trivial matters."

Hearing Chen Changan's compliment, Liu Haizhong felt a little flattered.

This is what the director of the Sijiucheng Motorcycle Factory admits in his heart that he is not as good as himself.

It seems that I am not completely useless. The reason why I cannot become a leader in the steel rolling mill is that the leaders in the steel rolling mill are incompetent. No one can recognize the merits of me, Liu Haizhong.

At least I, Liu Haizhong, am more than qualified to be a small leader in the steel rolling mill.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong had already regarded Chen Changan as a close friend, and he wanted to go to work at the motorcycle factory immediately. At least the director of the motorcycle factory had a keen eye for the merits of Liu Haizhong.

Then Liu Haizhong, who was still somewhat rational, realized that now was not the time to discuss this matter, and he would find an opportunity to raise this issue later.

Then he nodded to Hou Mingjun and said, "Then it's settled. Don't forget to join us after dinner. Since you are also from the motorcycle factory, you should know Nan Yi as well. You can also notify Nan Yi's family later."

Without waiting for Hou Mingjun to answer, he turned to Chen Changan and said, "Chen Changan, that's the arrangement. I have to go back to eat first. Do you have anything else to add?"

This made Chen Changan laugh and cry, so he waved his hand and told Liu Haizhong to leave quickly.

After Liu Haizhong walked out of the front yard, Hou Mingjun looked at Chen Changan and asked, "Director, what's going on?"

Chen Changan said, "Let Nan Yi explain it to you when we have dinner later. There are so many strange people in this courtyard that it would be impossible to introduce them all to you even if we had dinner together."
