Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Just when everyone thought that Su Chen might be crazy, to everyone's surprise, the consul of Camel Country did not show any anger.

Instead, he looked at Su Chen with a hint of curiosity and asked:

"How powerful is this gas tank?"

The Camel Country Consul knew very little about gas cylinders. He had only seen this type of item and had heard a little about its basic functions.

But he was not ashamed of the word "easy" in Su Chen's words.

This passage feels very sensitive.

That's why he asked Suchen, wanting to know the performance of the gas tank **.

For the Camel Country Consul, he didn't care what a gas tank was, but he was very interested in **.

At this time, Su Chen already understood in his heart: his strategy was effective and had aroused the consul's interest.

He knew that as long as ** was involved, the Camel Country Consul would not let this opportunity go to waste.

Then he nodded and pointed towards the distance.

“We have a large area within our plant where we can conduct a field trial demonstration.

"

"There is no evidence to support this claim. You can come and see for yourself how powerful it is."

Su Chen showed confidence, and even though he was in a tank full of gas, he did not feel the slightest bit of cowardice.

Although these cylinders are flammable**, they are safe if they are not moved and the safety devices are not disabled.

Even if Su Chen accidentally knocked one of them down and let it roll on the ground a few times, it would not be a big deal.

But once the gas valve is opened during use, the probability of ** is very high.

This is also a safety hazard that staff are generally concerned about.

But unexpectedly, neither those employees nor the accompanying inspection personnel had thought of this, and this was exactly what Su Chen needed.

It is to have a gas tank that is usually very safe and can trigger a ** effect when necessary.

"Since you are so confident, first show me the actual results of **."

The Camel Country Consul said so and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the other party was willing to observe the performance of the gas tank, Su Chen immediately led everyone to the open space outside.

There are many idle sites inside the Red Star Steel Plant. The number of orders it has received has been declining recently and it is on the verge of collapse. The area that was originally planned for expansion is still idle.

Some factory employees followed the team out of curiosity. Most of their daily work had been completed, so they were happy to come and see what the difference was.

After arriving at the destination and standing still, Su Chen did not immediately show the gas tank to the envoy.

"Everyone, please help me install a simple throwing device according to my rough design."

In fact, Su Chen, who had already thought of all the plans, had drawn the design drawings of this projection equipment before.

It's not that there is no technology involved. In fact, it is very simple to make such a simple throwing facility. Its structure and installation method are easy to understand, just like an enlarged rubber band catapult.

It's not that there is no ability to produce such a throwing machine here. In fact, Su Chen has made detailed calculations. The coordination of all parts and the activation of the device can just allow the gas tank to fly to a safe and scary distance.

In order to demonstrate the potential threat posed by these gas canisters, it was essential that these men see their full power with their own eyes.

Su Chen understood this very well.

Upon hearing his instructions, the workers began to take action.

They only need to take a quick look to understand the specific steps, without having to explain in detail how to execute the instructions.

Yang Xue, who was standing aside, was very interested in this and watched everyone busy at work.

As the workers gradually completed the construction of the simple projectile device on the design drawing, Yang Xue discovered that it was actually a huge slingshot.

What is this thing used for? Is Su Chen really going to use it to throw the gas tank away? Yang Xue was full of doubts, but she knew it was not appropriate to disturb Su Chen at this time, so she had to suppress her curiosity and continue to observe the workers' operation.

"Director, is this okay?"

The workers worked for about half an hour and soon erected this simple device in an open area.

During this time, Su Chen chatted with the consul of Camel Country while waiting, talking about the weather and other things to pass the time.

After hearing the worker's call, he went forward to check and saw that the simple projectile device, which was taller than his height, had been completed. He then pulled it himself to test the effect: "No problem, this is enough."

Su Chen was very clear about his target. After he gave a signal, his assistant moved the tank filled with gas into the designated launch position.

However, the people around him looked at his actions with puzzled expressions on their faces: "What is he doing?"

Some said, "Don't tell us to shoot gas tanks with this thing!"

Others laughed, "It's so funny that such a big thing looks like a toy!"

Everyone began to talk in low voices.

In this regard, Su Chen did not care about their comments and just said calmly:

"Shut your ears.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen ordered the workers to shoot out the gas tank.

The gas tank formed a beautiful parabola and fell into the open space, a considerable distance away.

In this short period of time, before the crowd could react, a tiny mushroom cloud suddenly appeared before their eyes.

A loud "boom" instantly shocked everyone's ears, and many people's hearing was temporarily affected.

Su Chen was prepared. He covered his ears and saw Yang Xue beside him protecting her hearing in time to avoid being affected.

The hearing of other people was temporarily disabled under the impact of this **.

The head of the industrial department looked at the scene, his hands shaking: This is not just a simple gas tank, it's simply **!

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned: this was not an ordinary household gas equipment, but a terrible ** thing.

The colleagues who had laughed at Su Chen before now looked at all this with awe.

No one would have thought that this small steel rolling mill, which was looked down upon by everyone, would have the ability to produce such terrifyingly powerful equipment.

Fortunately, Su Chen had never considered selling such gas cylinders in the country; once such things were stored randomly in ordinary households and an explosion occurred, it would bring about unimaginable and terrible consequences, which would be truly terrifying.

Everyone was wandering around in surprise, while the consul from the Camel Country looked very interested.

He showed great interest, and the consul of Camel Country was one of the few people at the scene who followed Su Chen's advice to cover his ears.

Currently, the Camel Country is in a state of war and is in urgent need of a large number of low-cost consumable weapons.

Although the Camel Country Consul acted very relaxed in Sijiu City, as if he was on vacation, his mind was always concerned about the war in his hometown.

When he saw the power of the gas tank demonstrated by Su Chen, he was even more overjoyed.

** The high-tech weapons provided by the United States are not only expensive, but also strictly restricted in sales. They are not allowed to purchase equipment from other countries, forming an industry monopoly.

In fact, the Camel Country has always intended to import weapons from other countries, but under the watchful eyes of a powerful country like the United States, they dare not act rashly.

During this period of time, the Camel Kingdom lost several cities in succession and has been on the defensive.

Even the consul of the Camel Kingdom, who was on the other side of the world, could not escape this feeling of worry.

However, being far away from home made him helpless, but now he met a person like Su Chen, who was a solution to his problem.

Although due to contractual restrictions, Camel Country is unable to purchase weapons from abroad.

Even the most basic and economical weapons are included in the ban.

Once the information is known by the **, they will inevitably face sanctions, further increasing their economic pressure and facing shortages of many commodities.

So despite facing difficulties on the battlefield, the Camel Kingdom still had to hold on tenaciously.

But Suchen's solution is to use gas cylinders, which cannot be considered a military weapon in the traditional sense.

Gas cylinders are a daily necessity and are completely suitable for legal purchase in Camel Country.

You can even buy in bulk!

Judging from the effects of previous gas tank explosions, the destructive power they produce even exceeds that of the most basic portable anti-tank rockets (RPGs), and their power may exceed the combined power of multiple anti-tank devices detonating at the same time.

The more the Camel Country Consul thought about it, the more he thought this approach was more desirable. He began to weigh whether he should really order large quantities of such products and how to make procurement requests in a more natural and appropriate manner.

Since Suchen always conveyed information in a relatively obscure way, the consul was not sure whether it was appropriate to do so.

When Su Chen observed the confidence in the other party's eyes, he realized that the consul had accurately captured the deep meaning of the information.

No one except the consul knew the value of the can of gas.

However, as a representative of an envoy stationed abroad, it is obviously impossible for him to be dull and ignorant; conducting ** transactions privately will not be a formality.

"Mr. Consul, do you need to demonstrate the power of ** again?"

Su Chen's question interrupted the consul's thoughts, and the other party smiled and shook his head.

"no need."

"Mr. Consul, if you are interested, why don't you come with me to the conference room to discuss it in detail?"

Su Chen saw that the consul's reaction had already made his intention clear.

However, matters involving the sale of gas cylinders cannot be resolved with just a few simple words; detailed terms of cooperation need to be formulated.

Therefore, Su Chen suggested that both parties go to the conference room for further discussions.

Su Chen also did not want to discuss the buying and selling of ** publicly on this occasion.

The consul nodded in agreement, "Mr. Su, please lead the way."

Yang Xue, who was standing by, was puzzled when she heard their conversation. She didn't understand why the consul agreed to the talks so easily.

Although she could roughly understand their conversation, she still didn't know what made the consul decide to get involved in this volatile gas tank negotiation.

Others were even more confused. The supervisor who was originally responsible for connecting with the industrial sector thought that the transaction was hopeless and it was impossible to obtain foreign exchange.

But judging by the Consul's facial expressions when interacting with Suchen, the situation seemed to have changed.

As he did not understand the local language, the industrial manager was unable to understand the specific content of the conversation between the two people. He could only feel from their interaction that they were not involved in a fierce argument.

The situation at this moment made it impossible for him to ask Yang Xue what they had said. Since he had waited patiently before, Su Chen discussed many things with the consul without explaining them one by one.

Maybe there is a key point.

Seeing that Su Chen and the leader had left first, the industrial director had no choice but to follow them.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he didn't want the consul to be alone with Su Chen, so he had to follow closely, still feeling confused.

The rest of the entourage also looked confused, unable to understand the mystery due to their limited knowledge and experience.

Even if there were team members who could understand the local language, they could not fully understand what agreement had been reached.

However, as a consul working abroad and with a certain level of intelligence, he was naturally able to grasp the key points keenly.

But these assistants do not need to have the same sensitivity; they are only shocked by the huge impact generated by ** without understanding its practical use.

With all kinds of doubts, they headed towards the meeting room together under the leadership of Su Chen. The team was large and they met many workers on the way.

"Did you know that Director Su actually ** our gas tanks in front of foreigners?"

"See? That gas tank feels like a **."

"Don't exaggerate. How much damage can a gas tank do?"

"That noise just now was so loud, if it wasn't **, what was it?"

In an instant, people in the factory began to talk about the gas tank.

The danger posed by the gas cylinders was beyond the workers' expectations.

Although they were aware of the safety risks posed by this gas tank, they had never expected that Su Chen could use a simple projectile device to demonstrate the power of the gas tank to everyone in such an intuitive way.

Curiosity prompted the workers following Su Chen and others to witness the small mushroom cloud rising in the distance. They were all stunned, with surprise beyond words.

When the workers saw the aftermath of the explosion rising from the open space, they gasped.

"Is the factory director really crazy? Why would he sell such a dangerous item to others?"

"Did you notice the foreigner's expression? He seemed quite satisfied with that thing."

"I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. My brain is only suitable for manual labor."

"Can selling these gas cylinders really save the factory's fate?"

The workers' whispers quickly spread and the news reached inside the factory, leaving the workshop managers puzzled.

There are actually people who dare to buy this thing.

Although the Camel Country Consul had not yet signed a formal contract with the factory, judging from his attitude, the workshop directors guessed that the deal was almost done.

The workshop managers were puzzled as to why such a high-risk product had found a buyer.

Although he was eager to find out the truth, he did not dare to offend Su Chen, the authority, so he stopped and wandered at the door of the meeting room.

In desperation, they instigated the workers to go and get the latest intelligence.

Little do they know that these workers have been entrusted with an “important task”

.

When I received the task from the director, I was secretly delighted: I now have a legitimate reason to join in the fun.

Ever since the consul from Camel Country arrived this morning, all the workers have been unable to concentrate on the production line.

After all, this opportunity is rare, and it is not common for such a high-ranking and powerful foreigner to visit.

Judging from the appearance of the leader accompanying him, this person must be extraordinary.

However, Su Chen did not give any explanation to the workers and managers, and they still did not know what the mystery was.

How could we invite a consul to the factory with only limited knowledge and understanding? How could we convince others to buy this dangerous thing?

The imagination of the masses was fully exercised at this time, and soon various versions of the story had spread among the working class.

What's more, after hearing that Suchen spoke fluent camel language with the consul, some people speculated whether the two were related.

Otherwise, how could they be so familiar and friendly?

Unknowingly, the workers exaggerated Su Chen's actions that day to make them seem magical.

The consul of the Camel Country was also confused, not knowing why he had a distant relative for no reason.

Afterwards, the group came to the conference room. The consul of Camel Country sat on one side, while Su Chen, his assistant Yang Xue and the industrial manager sat opposite. The other accompanying personnel had to retreat to the back of the hall due to hierarchy and watch the progress of the meeting.

Once all parties are seated, the discussion will begin.

"I like these gas cylinders very much. I can place an order for them on my own behalf. I will buy as many as your factory can produce."

The consul took the initiative and spoke with a smile on his face.

It really deserves to be known as the Camel Country, a country of tyrants. Even a consul can show such magnanimity.

Yang Xue, who was standing by, felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she understood everything, she was still confused:

The Camel Country consul really planned to spend money to bring these gas cylinders back to his country.

"Mr. Su, please give me a price."

The consul leaned forward slightly, looking very sincere.

Su Chen was secretly delighted when he heard this. It was obvious that the other party had understood what he meant, so he nodded, stretched out a finger and said:

"Empty gas cylinders are 100 yuan each. You can refill them yourself after you return to Camel Country."

Su Chen did not say any fancy words, but gave a price directly.

After all, judging from the other party's performance, the sale of these gas tanks is almost a done deal.

Now that we have come this far, there is no need to beat around the bush.

The director in charge of industrial affairs had already quietly instructed Yang Xue to translate every word spoken in the meeting room for him before arriving at the meeting room.

Originally, Yang Xue's job was to translate for Su Chen, but unexpectedly she ended up serving the leaders of the Ministry of Industry.
