Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

"Military leader, do you need so many air-conditioning fans for any special purpose?"

In fact, what he was thinking about was to sell these air-conditioning fans on the market.

But why would the army need so many air conditioners? Facing Su Chen's question, the military leader smiled and said:

"The military wants to improve the living standards of grassroots soldiers, so they are also suitable for distribution as daily necessities."

After listening to the explanation of the military leader, Su Chen quickly realized that there must be a misunderstanding between them. His sense of smell told him that the military was obviously not only interested in the air-conditioning fan, but their real attention was still on the turbine engine.

But since the military leaders had not yet exposed Su Chen's previous cover-up, he had no way to directly explain that these turbine engines were actually excellent products. The more he tried to explain this matter, the more difficult it became to explain clearly, and there was no way to clarify it all.

"Since there is a large order, there is no reason not to accept it. Once the development of the air-conditioning fan is completed, we can start production immediately."

As Su Chen answered, he silently made a decision in his heart: once the research on the turbine engine is completely completed, it will be provided to the country through the channel of this leader, and of course a certain fee will be charged. Although he has a sincere patriotic heart, the production of turbine engines is not simple, and it is reasonable to charge a certain amount of money to pay the workers' wages.

Since he got the design, Su Chen thought that the country has not yet mastered this top technology, so he planned to find a suitable time to deliver the manufactured turbine engine to the country. However, since there was no suitable occasion before, he could only postpone it for the time being. Today, the visit of the military leaders just gave him an opportunity to realize his original intention and deliver this engine without any reason.

He believed that the future military leaders would certainly agree to this. While the group was visiting the air-conditioning fan production line, the technical team was still focusing on the heated debate on the turbine engine design.

“There must be something wrong with the design!”

"I think there must be something wrong with the proportions of the materials!"

These technical experts completely ignored the outside world, their focus was only on the turbine engine prototype. Other workers were so nervous that they broke into a cold sweat when they saw the technicians freely expressing their technical opinions in front of their superiors.

But no one dared to step forward to remind them, for fear of attracting the attention of the leaders. Su Chen did not interfere too much with their research process. Although these people looked like geniuses obsessed with research and development, if they did not have such an obsessive attitude, they would not have been able to advance the design of the turbine engine so quickly.

Therefore, Su Chen accompanied the military chief and left the factory together after roughly checking the condition of the turbine.

After visiting the three factories, Su Chen led everyone to the staff canteen. After all, if you really want to visit the company, the production site is essential, and the canteen should also be visited as part of the corporate culture.

Although the leaders were not interested in the subsequent general visits due to the previous technical demonstrations, they were still very cooperative and followed Su Chen closely.

At this moment, the leader was thinking: How did this young man work undercover overseas in the past, and how did he master these advanced technologies? Looking at the young man's heroic face, the leader really couldn't associate him with a person who mastered countless top skills. He even guessed that Su Chen might be a secret intelligence worker who grew up abroad since he was a child. It was precisely because he was still young that he was able to gain the trust of foreigners and therefore had access to high-end inventions such as turbine machines.

The leader's imagination became increasingly rich, and he had almost constructed a legendary image of Su Chen in his mind.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Su Chen obtained the design drawings of those flammable and explosive gas tanks and the design drawings of the turbine engines.

Therefore, the more the military leaders thought about it, the more they felt that Su Chen was an extremely outstanding patriot.

I don’t know how much hardship and injustice he endured outside, but he finally worked hard and achieved all the results he has today.

Therefore, this senior military leader showed great tolerance towards Su Chen.

As an important figure with a military background, he naturally values ​​talent highly.

It's not just talented people like Su Chen who have a clean identity. Even if some of his subordinates commit minor mistakes, the military leaders will choose to deal with them leniently.

Although talented people often have their shortcomings, in the eyes of this leader, Su Chen is almost an impeccable young man.

At this time, Su Chen was leading everyone forward on the way to the staff canteen. He would never have thought that he had such an image in the minds of the military leaders.

However, Su Chen felt that the **'s attitude towards him had become more friendly, so he felt relieved - it seemed that this inspection was going smoothly.

Once the approval of this authority is obtained, the steel mill will be able to continue production and huge funds will continue to flow into the factory account.

With this capital, Suchen plans to further expand the factory's production capacity...

The group did not drag their feet. Not long after leaving the air-conditioning fan manufacturing room, Su Chen brought them into the factory cafeteria.

In order to meet the dining needs of thousands of people in the factory, the steel rolling mill's canteen is large and very busy, with a large number of employees.

It was not yet lunchtime when the group arrived, but the chefs were busy preparing for the upcoming lunch, and this place became the busiest place in the factory.

Countless dishes and meals need to be provided every day just to meet the dining requirements of the majority of workers.

Even with so many employees working here, all the preparations before cooking still go on like a battle.

Su Chen and the generals who accompanied him stood at the edge of the cafeteria's operating area, and the staff were completely unaware of their presence.

The staff canteen in the steel mill needs to supply food in different time periods because it accommodates a large number of employees, so that the kitchen can barely keep up with the pace.

If thousands of workers dine together, even many highly skilled chefs will not be able to cope.

Looking at the chefs working nervously and busy, Su Chen was unwilling to interrupt this efficient order.

However, the military commanders who were watching the scene from the sidelines seemed familiar and relieved.

The guys working non-stop in the kitchen are like the cooks in an army; although they are busy, they still run their business in an orderly manner.

Everyone here works very efficiently; a large cabbage can be sliced ​​and arranged in an instant, saving time for the chef who is busy cooking next to it.

Although there were still nearly two hours until lunch time, the cafeteria was already running at full capacity. Looking at the situation in front of him, Su Chen couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.

He had never visited the cafeteria before, and he never expected the kitchen to be so chaotic.

In order to ensure that all the workers in the factory have enough food to eat, the kitchen staff have to work hard to speed up the process every time.

It’s not that they are unwilling to spend more time, but the demand for ingredients dictates that they have to complete meal preparation within a limited time.

The military leaders and Su Chen and others rarely went into the kitchen to take a look.

Seeing the workers busy and sweating, they didn't want to disturb them.

Therefore, Su Chen only stood outside with everyone to observe for a while before leaving. The busy workers didn't even realize that the factory director had been there.

Along the way, we visited almost all the Red Star Steel Rolling Mills.

The remaining space is Su Chen’s office building and those abandoned factory buildings.

Although the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has recruited a number of workers, some of the factory buildings are still idle because the production line has not yet been fully rolled out.

Although those factories are cleaned frequently, they are still like abandoned places because there are no running machines.

Su Chen plans to start those factories after the air-conditioning fans are successfully developed.

The current production lines were sufficient, so he did not take the military leaders to visit those places.

Everyone walked around and returned to Su Chen's office building.

The office building mainly houses administrative positions such as the finance department and the factory director's office.

Compared to the sweaty workers in the workshop, the work in the office building seemed much more peaceful. Su Chen took the military leaders on a tour of each floor.

The first floor is the security department's office. The head of the security department and his subordinates have gone out on patrol, so there is no one here.

The military leaders just glanced at it briefly and didn't pay much attention.

Su Chen continued to lead everyone upstairs and arrived at the financial staff's office area.

At this time, the accountants were busy calculating the financial situation of the factory. Even though the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was exempted from tax declaration due to preferential policies, it still had to record every foreign exchange transaction in detail and report it to the State Taxation Bureau to obtain subsidies.

For this reason, the finance department remains very busy and every accountant is working hard.

Seeing them concentrating on their work, the military leaders did not disturb them and just asked Su Chen to continue leading the way.

When they returned to the director's office, the inspection of the Red Star Steel Mill was over. The military leaders had a comprehensive understanding of the steel mill.

Although the entire tour took only two hours, the military leader benefited greatly from what he saw during the visit.

He was very satisfied with the inspection.

This trip not only helped him understand the problems with gas tanks and water pipes, but he also unexpectedly learned about the research and development of air-conditioning fans, and also realized that Su Chen was unusual.

Although all this was just Su Chen's assumption, the military leaders believed it firmly.

As a result, this unexpected good news once again improved the military leaders' opinion of Su Chen. And somehow the news that the military had placed an order with Su Chen also spread.

The head of the Ministry of Industry heard it clearly on the spot, but he didn't understand why the other party immediately decided to order the steel mill's products.

It was just like the previous time when he brought the consul of the Camel Country.

Even though Director Zhang from the Ministry of Industry followed along all the way, he still couldn't figure out why the military leaders chose to sign a contract with the steel mill.
