The history of raising children from the Republic of China to the 70s

Walking to the door of Secretary Chu's room, Li Chengye found that the door was actually open, and someone was talking in the room. Li Chengye didn't rush in, but knocked twice on the door first.

"Secretary Chu."

"Hey, Secretary Li, why are you here? Come in quickly!" Secretary Chu's voice came from the room, and he naturally recognized Li Chengye's voice.

"Secretary Chu, I'm here to bring you milk tea and snacks." Li Chengye walked in with his things, and as soon as he entered, he saw two people sitting by the window. It turned out that the person who was talking to Secretary Chu was only two days ago I met Lei, the director of the Provincial Machinery Factory.

Director Lei raised his eyebrows when he saw the plate in Li Chengye's hand, apparently surprised by the appearance of such a thing.

As for Secretary Chu, he was even more surprised, "Where did you get this?" As he spoke, he took the things from Li Chengye's hands and put them on the table.

Li Chengye pointed to the menu board on the table and said to the two of them: "This is the menu board of the hotel, and the items provided on it are free, you can call the hotel service desk, and someone will deliver the items to the room. "

"It's all free?" Secretary Chu picked up the menu card Li Chengye was pointing at, with some suspicion and disbelief in his tone.

"That's right, it says on the menu that it's free, and this is what I ordered just now." Li Chengye nodded affirmatively, and pointed to the food on the table.

"You can speak Y?" Director Lei didn't care about whether the meals were free or not, but paid more attention to the matter of Li Chengye calling for meals.

"know a bit."

"Not only can you read, but you can also communicate with the people here. Can you understand what they say?" Director Lei was excited, but he still went deeper to make sure.

"General communication is fine, as long as it's not a particularly professional one that involves too many professional vocabulary." He was originally able to participate in this investigation because of his good Mandarin Y, so naturally he didn't hide his ability.

"Help me to see what's on it. I also want to order something to drink." While talking about Y language, Director Lei suddenly pointed to the order board and asked Li Chengye to order something for him.

"Director Lei, why don't you drink mine first? I haven't even touched this one. It must take a lot of time to order now." Secretary Chu didn't understand what Director Lei meant for a while. Thought he was really thirsty.

"Cough, no need, I don't like your kind of drink, I just ask you, Secretary Li, to help me order another one, I can still wait for more than ten minutes, you don't mind if I ask him to help you? "Mr. Lei also made a small joke.

"Of course I don't mind, Secretary Li, hurry up and introduce to Director Lei." He already understood what Director Lei wanted to do, so he agreed without hesitation, and he happened to also want to know Li Chengye's Y language What is the ability?

"Okay." Li Chengye probably knew what they wanted to test, so he agreed without much hesitation.

"There are a lot of things here, tea drinks include milk tea, coffee..." After that, Li Chengye introduced it carefully to Secretary Lei.

When Director Lei saw that he spoke in a dignified manner, he felt more joy in his heart.

When Li Chengye finally finished speaking, Director Lei said slowly: "Give me a cup of jasmine black tea with milk and sugar. I also want a strawberry cake and a small bread."

"Okay, right now." Li Chengye nodded and agreed without hesitation, and then went to call customer service.

"hello!"

"..."

The process of ordering food went smoothly. Although Secretary Chu and Director Lei couldn't understand what Li Chengye said, they could still feel that Li Chengye spoke very fluently without any pause or hesitation.And what he said was just like what they had heard from those people from Country Y before.

At this time, there is no need for others to deliver the meal, and Director Lei has already determined in his heart that Secretary Li in front of him must be a person who speaks Y Mandarin very well.It's really unexpected.You must know that the people they brought here this time are said to be able to speak the Y language, and they can even stumble over the translation of the Y language written in the notebook, let alone communicate like this.Of course, it is definitely not because of language that he brought that person here, so there is not much comparison.

But language is still very important, if you don't understand, then everything else is useless.It seems that Secretary Li is still a very good talent, but I don't know how good he is as a secretary.If it's good, he wants to dig people into their factory.

Secretary Chu didn't know the bad intentions of the people around him at this meeting. He was in a very happy mood, and naturally he was more confident about the upcoming itinerary.

When Li Chengye hung up the phone, Director Lei sighed, "This is Comrade Li, isn't he? You are really a good comrade, and your Y language is very fluent!"

As Li Chengye's leader, Secretary Chu naturally waved his hands modestly, "Where, where, it's much worse than our professional translation."

Factory Manager Lei: "Haha, you are being modest when you say this. This level is already so high, we can't ask for too much, can't we?"

He was flattering Jian Lei, but suddenly changed the subject, "Secretary Chu, we said before that we would help each other, how about it? Can Comrade Li borrow us?"

Secretary Chu naturally expected him to have such a meeting, so he was not very surprised at this meeting, and said directly: "You see, I am not easy to agree to this meeting, and I don't know when I will need it. Besides, Secretary Li is not Professional, or you should use professional translation first, if there is really no one, I will lend you Secretary Li."

Director Lei thought for a while and did not reject his proposal. Compared to professional translation, Li Chengye could only be an alternative, a choice of desperation.

When Li Chengye left Secretary Chu's room, he had one more task on his body, the backup translator of the Provincial Machinery Factory.

Lunch at noon is almost always delivered to the hotel room, arranged by the Bureau of Commerce. It is rare that it is more suitable for the tastes of people from their country. Everyone is quite satisfied with this arrangement.

The visit started in the afternoon, and there was nothing they needed, so Secretary Chu and the others just followed behind. After all, it was a unified inspection operation, and even if they didn't need it, they had to show their momentum.

The inspections on the first day and the morning of the second day were like looking at flowers on horseback. The factory representatives who were concerned took the translator and asked them carefully. Those like Secretary Chu and the others just pretended to listen very carefully. As for whether they listened or not , that is the business of each family.

However, as the next afternoon approached, Secretary Chu and the others became more and more tense. When they arrived at the factory for inspection, Secretary Chu even strayed to the front when he got off the car.

Naturally, Li Chengye and Master Qian wanted to be with him, so he quickened his pace and followed Secretary Chu to the front.

The person sent by Angelet Factory to receive him was a man in his 30s, wearing a serious four-piece suit and looking very formal.However, Li Chengye and the others were all wearing Chinese tunic suits, so it wouldn't make people feel particularly weird.

The man first introduced to everyone. He is the general manager of the Anglia Smelting Equipment Manufacturing Plant. His name is Rollie Williams. He looks like a very humorous person.

Seeing the group of people like Li Chengye, he didn't look arrogant and arrogant, his smile and tone were very appropriate, and he didn't feel slighted.

After exchanging a few simple greetings, this Mr. Williams happily played a few small jokes with Director Wen of the Bureau of Commerce who led the team.After that, he took Li Chengye and the others to the exhibition hall first.

It may be that they often entertain some business groups who come to visit. Angelet Smelting Equipment Manufacturing Factory has built a small exhibition hall closest to the factory gate.The entire exhibition hall is nearly 3 square meters, with a ceiling height of about [-] meters. There are various smelting equipment displayed in it, including old models that have been eliminated and new models that are currently in use.

This Mr. Williams was not in a hurry. He took them directly and started talking about the most primitive equipment. By the way, he helped everyone popularize the development history of smelting equipment, and there were some interesting stories. Many people listened with gusto, which is much more interesting than boring equipment introductions.

Secretary Chu listened for a while, feeling a little impatient in his heart, and kept his eyes on the new equipment that was still some distance away from them.After a while, he finally couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Why is this person so talkative, he never got into the topic."

Li Chengye glanced at him, without any emotion in his eyes, he just said in a low voice: "What he is introducing now are all the products of the Angelet factory before, and he is introducing their development history." He is also announcing him to us long history and remarkable achievements.

Li Chengye didn't say what he said later, but everyone could still feel the strong sense of pride in Williams.

Master Qian also nodded enviously, "Their factory has a history of nearly 100 years, and our steel factory has a history of only ten years. It would be great if we could become like them."

Master Qian just finished speaking with emotion, and Secretary Chu stared at him, "Although our iron and steel plant is only ten years old, the speed of development is very remarkable, and it will naturally develop better and better." Even more than here Well, not just 100 years, but 200, 300 years.

Although Secretary Chu was very anxious, Director Wen didn't interrupt Mr. Williams, so he could only listen patiently.

Finally, after more than 20 minutes, this Williams brought these people to the latest equipment display stand.

"What everyone sees now are our company's latest factory products, which are also machines commonly used in the smelting industry. Including sintering furnaces, converters, electric arc furnaces..."

"I am very proud to say that the products of our Anglia smelting equipment manufacturing plant will not lose to any factory in any country. Take a look at this electric arc furnace. The maximum temperature in the arc zone can reach more than 2500 degrees Celsius, and the maximum capacity is three Hundred tons, and this is a high-power electric arc furnace, which is our latest product in recent years. Compared with ordinary electric arc furnaces, it not only shortens the melting time, but also greatly reduces the power consumption. More importantly, ..."

A thousand words of boasting and introduction were omitted above, and Secretary Chu naturally listened very seriously. However, they are now using converter steelmaking and need to build a lot of blast furnaces. They don’t know much about this kind of electric arc furnace steelmaking. I just feel that something that can be introduced by him like this must not be ordinary.

However, Master Qian and Li Chengye on the side both frowned slightly, apparently having some doubts about the introduction of the person in front of them.

"Secretary Li, you..." As if wanting to confirm, Master Qian looked at Li Chengye and shouted, Li Chengye nodded at him, confirming his guess.

Seeing their interaction, Secretary Chu said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong? The things I heard from Mr. Williams are very good, and they are much more advanced than ours. Not only can It saves time and saves energy.”

Master Qian looked at Secretary Chu with disapproval on his face, and whispered: "The things introduced by Mr. Williams are quite good, but they are not suitable for us now."

Secretary Chu didn't understand this, why is it not suitable for them, this thing is quite good, "Is there any basis for what you said?"

Li Chengye also said directly at this meeting: "It is indeed not suitable for our country. Now there are mainly two steelmaking methods. One is blast furnace plus converter. Iron ore is first smelted into molten iron, and then passed through the converter. 90.00%. The electric arc furnace is different, it does not need a blast furnace, but it is mainly used to re-smelt scrap steel.”

Master Qian was afraid that Secretary Chu would buy this electric arc furnace back on impulse, so he nodded quickly and said, "That's right, to put it bluntly, it is to refurbish scrap steel, and this kind of equipment is mainly used to make ordinary steel."

Li Chengye added: "The situation in our country is different from these countries. They have developed to a certain extent now, and all kinds of construction are almost the same. Steel has been developed for many years and there is a large amount of scrap steel. Our country is different. Every The supply of steel in [-] is in short supply, and there is no scrap steel that needs to be re-smelted, so it is really not suitable for this kind of thing, and it may be able to be used after a few decades."

Secretary Chu didn't expect these problems to be introduced by Mr. Williams, and he suppressed his eager heart for a while. "Are you sure this is made of scrap steel?"

Li Chengye nodded with certainty, and continued: "Not only that, electric arc furnace steelmaking consumes electric energy. With our current power supply situation, it may be difficult to bring this kind of thing back home."
