Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

In order to thank the military leaders, Su Chen immediately thought of Shanfang Restaurant.

Since this restaurant already belongs to them, if the military leaders are satisfied, it will definitely bring in more customers.

Why not do this kind of publicity?

The military leader said calmly:

"It's OK as long as you have this intention. I'm busy with work and may not have the time to come over."

He was indeed somewhat tempted by the quality of the food that Su Chen mentioned, but at the moment he felt that Su Chen was a little too smooth and didn't want to have too much contact with this guy.

Su Chen is a quick-witted person and has to be extra careful when talking to this kind of person.

Having already expressed his gratitude, he did not exchange any more pleasantries and took his leave.

"When everything is ready, please give me your convenience." Before he finished speaking, Su Chen saw the military leader waving his hand and asked him to leave.

"Leave as soon as possible and deal with it first."

Although the military leader showed a look of disdain, Su Chen smiled in his heart. If he really didn't regard him as his own family, his attitude would not be so casual.

Even the most straightforward leaders would give it more consideration, and this attitude now shows that the other party has already trusted him as if he were a family member.

Su Chen knew this very well, so he didn't feel any frustration.

So he put away the documents and went back to prepare for the next test firing of the fire gun. This test firing of the gun was of great significance to Su Chen.

Although it does not involve the survival of the steel mill, if the research and development is successful, it will bring huge benefits to the company.

In addition, such test firings will also allow technical personnel within the factory to gradually get accustomed to the rhythm of future large-scale production.

He believes that in the future the company will operate multiple production lines simultaneously and workers should get used to this situation in advance.

He left the station with the documents in his hand, feeling full of energy.

This place is relatively remote, and in order not to affect the lives of surrounding residents, most military bases are located in remote areas.

At this time, Sijiu City was much smaller in scale and had a small population compared to later generations, so naturally there were few people coming and going here.

When Su Chen was leaving the military base and was about to call for his assistant, he saw a black car speeding towards him.

This style of sedan was not common in this era.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of people who can own such vehicles, let alone those around military bases.

Su Chen was quite curious about this. Who was the person sitting in the car?

So he stopped by the roadside and glanced casually in the direction of the car.

As I looked up, I happened to see a familiar face.

The person driving the car was actually Banggeng. He was here today to pick up a senior leader introduced by his acquaintance Shazhu to handle some official business. His neat clothes made him look more energetic.

This is completely different from the wretched appearance that I usually see in the yard.

Just as he noticed Su Chen, Bang Geng's eyes also caught Su Chen's attention.

Although I was puzzled as to why he appeared near the military camp, resentment immediately surged in my heart.

It's really a narrow road.

Bang Geng saw Su Chen standing not far away, so he wanted to deliberately scare him. If Su Chen made a fool of himself, that would be even better. On weekdays, although Bang Geng rarely saw Su Chen in the courtyard, the legendary stories about Su Chen had been circulating in the courtyard, which made Bang Geng feel troubled.

Whenever he heard others praising Su Chen's abilities, Bang Geng couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart.

The two were of the same age, but Banggeng couldn't stand Su Chen being so complacent, and whenever he saw him he was like seeing his old enemy.

It turned out that he was driving the car very steadily, planning to move the car closer to let ** get off.

However, the moment he met Su Chen, Banggeng's thought changed, so he deliberately increased the speed a little and stopped the car in front of Su Chen.

The road outside the military base was khaki in color, and it brought up a lot of dust when he parked his car.

At this time, Assistant Zhang appeared quickly and ran to Su Chen to block most of the dust for him.

When he saw a black car speeding towards him from afar, he felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

Faced with the unfriendly attitude of the visitor, he was worried that someone's enemy might be sitting in the car and intend to attack Su Chen, so he immediately stepped forward to act as a shield.

But he didn't expect that the other party only stopped beside Su Chen, raising a cloud of dust that covered the car body. Assistant Zhang's back seemed to have rolled in the dirt, covered with thick dust.

Even Su Chen was not immune to some dust.

Bang Geng, who was sitting in the car, witnessed Su Chen's somewhat embarrassing scene and couldn't help but grin: You have come to this day, you brought this upon yourself.

Deep in his heart, this feeling of gloating was more comfortable than earning millions of RMB. Su Chen had already noticed Bang Geng's little move just now.

But he didn't take the stick seriously and just brushed off the dust on his body.

At this time, the leader sitting in the back of the car recognized Su Chen as the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill who had recently become famous. He immediately rolled down the window and greeted him enthusiastically:

"You are Su Chen, right? I didn't expect that we would meet here. What a fate."

Su Chen also responded with a smile: "It just so happens that I also need to come here to deal with something. I didn't expect to see you here."

The greeting between the two made Banggeng suddenly nervous: Why could Su Chen talk to this leader in such a relaxed tone?

Does he really have a background?

Thinking of this, Banggeng felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Banggeng's previous actions were all due to impulse, and he had never considered what the big leader in the back row would think; now watching the two sides chatting enthusiastically, he felt even more nervous.

Then Su Chen glanced at Bang Geng who was sitting in the driver's seat, and reminded the leader lightly: "Your driver seems a little reckless."

In fact, Su Chen had already seen through Banggeng's pettiness, and that piece of dust was most likely caused by him on purpose.

Originally, Su Chen was going to ignore it - as long as he had a legitimate job, there was no need to add any unnecessary trouble to himself, but the other party insisted on provoking him, so he could only blame Su Chen for being ruthless.

After hearing his description, the ** decisively announced to Banggeng:

"You won't have to come to work from tomorrow."

The big boss was well aware of Su Chen's current popular position and did not want to offend him because of a driver, so he fired Bang Geng without hesitation.

When Bang Geng heard the news, he was stunned: "Why did the boss fire me?"

He just parked the car a little too fast, and ended up splashing dust all over Su Chen, but he just patted it off and that was it. How could he lose his job?

No matter how he thought about it, Bang Geng couldn't accept this reality.

Moreover, the big boss looked like he wanted to please Su Chen, which made Bang Geng feel even more unbelievable.

Apparently, the big boss didn’t bother to explain to Bang Geng and just waved him off.

This episode did not attract Su Chen's attention. It was just a clown.

Bang Geng thought that his actions would embarrass Su Chen, but he ended up being the one who made a fool of himself. And Su Chen didn't care about this at all.

This kind of stupid behavior really makes him not worth mentioning.

At this time, Su Chen's mind was still on the situation at the steel rolling mill. After briefly exchanging a few words with his leader, he turned around and returned to his car.

From beginning to end, Su Chen never even gave Banggen a glance.

Even if Su Chen made some sarcastic remarks, it might make Banggeng feel a little better, but Su Chen's ignoring attitude made him realize that he was completely ignored.

What made him even more unbearable was that his opponent didn't take him seriously at all. Bang Geng watched Su Chen's figure until the car drove away.

A few days later, Colonel Ka's official visit to the country finally came to an end.

During these days, Colonel Ka strictly followed the scheduled schedule and did not take any extra actions. The purpose of his visit had been achieved, so there was no need to continue to disturb the time of senior officials at home.

After learning that Colonel Ka's visit to China had come to an end, Su Chen went to see him off.

Although Su Chen had no official identity, the important trade agreement between him and Colonel Ka had long been well known, so Su Chen did not encounter any obstacles.

Arriving directly at ** Airport, Colonel Ka's private plane was already in operation.

"Su Chen, my friend, thank you very much for coming to see me off this time. I look forward to you bringing a large number of tractor chassis when we meet next time."

Colonel Ka gave Su Chen a warm hug.

Despite smelling the mutton on him, Suchen politely responded to the hug.

Military journalists' flashbulbs were flashing frequently at this moment. This would be another big news.

You have to know that Colonel Ka is not an ordinary friendly character. He is so close to a domestic steel mill director. This naturally attracted great attention from reporters.

In response, Colonel Ka had no intention of avoiding suspicion and posed for reporters to take pictures.

In fact, Colonel Ka knew very well how difficult it was to produce a sufficient number of tractor chassis with the scale of Suchen's factory. However, if he could make his reputation greater by taking more photos with Suchen and obtain more tractor chassis in advance, it would undoubtedly be a win-win move for both of them.

Su Chen understood this and cooperated with the reporters' filming, but he still felt that the flash was a bit dazzling and almost impossible to open his eyes.

After the two hugged each other, Colonel Ka smiled brightly, said goodbye to Su Chen and other leaders, then turned and walked towards the gangway.

Colonel Ka not only brought some local specialties with him, but also airlifted the crawler tractor he had driven back. The size of the private plane he took was quite impressive, and it was easy to load such a heavy machine.

Su Chen watched the roughly completed crawler tractor being slowly pushed into the plane, feeling a little regretful: Colonel Ka's stay in the country was too short.

If he could stay for a few more days, maybe he could take him to see the test launch of the newly developed fire-fighting missile. Since Colonel Ka left early, if he could show him this huge "flying fire meteor", he might even make a profit from it.

Colonel Ka, who had already boarded the plane, was unaware of this. He was very satisfied with this state visit. If he had not visited China in person for a field investigation, he would never have thought that Su Chen could actually develop such a suitable chassis for him. At this time, he was looking forward to returning to China as soon as possible to test the performance of this new chassis.
