Daily Life of Pig Farming in 1970

Unlike Su Yaoyun who was having a hard time in Province G, Song Zhen was in a very good mood at the moment.

　　He was holding the phone and speaking a lot of Russian with a respectful tone to the person on the other end. I don't know what the person on the other end said, but in the end, Song Zhen's smile deepened and he thanked the other party very sincerely.

　　When Mr. Yan, who was standing nearby, saw him like this, he knew that the matter was probably settled. He didn't care about the expensive international call charges and took the phone from Song Zhen to chat with the other party.

　　"Mr. Smirnov, thank you very much for your generosity and help. We will be forever grateful to you!"

　　Smirnov was Song Zhen's teacher when he studied in the Soviet Union. He was also an old professor of agricultural research in the Soviet Union and he admired Song Zhen very much.

　　When the other party heard what Mr. Yan said, he laughed out loud and said, "You're welcome. Song told me that with this equipment, your fertilizer technology will have a greater breakthrough and your planting technology will also take a step forward. When I have the chance, I must visit China and go to your fields to see if what he said is true."

　　Elder Yan also laughed, "Welcome to come over. We will take you to taste the food grown in China and enjoy the delicacies of China."

　　Obviously, both old people believe that although Sino-Soviet relations are currently shrouded in a cloud, sooner or later the clouds will clear and the sky will be clear.

　　After seeing the two of them hang up the phone, Song Zhen immediately said, "Mr. Smirnov said he would ask his students to select the best quality equipment for us from Germany."

　　Mr. Yan nodded with satisfaction. Germans are well-known for their rigorous craftsmanship. Their craftsmanship standards and quality control are very strict, and the products they make are very durable. It was worth their efforts to build relationships.

　　In fact, it is not difficult to buy equipment, but it is difficult to buy good equipment! In the international trade in the 1970s, developing countries often faced the problem of purchasing backward or inferior technology and equipment from developed countries.

　　You spent a lot of money and got cheated, but you can't find anyone to seek justice! This kind of thing is as disgusting as eating rat shit.

　　Elder Yan said, "Then let's quickly report to the higher-ups and ask them to quickly prepare the contract. As long as this matter is not completely settled, I will be worried."

　　Song Zhen also knew what he meant. Not to mention the complicated international trade environment, the country's foreign exchange reserves are very limited, foreign trade is strictly controlled, and transportation and customs issues must be considered. The process is very complicated, and any mistake in any link will result in failure.

　　In order to prevent any further complications, Song Zhen immediately began to prepare for the work.

　　However, it was several days later when he finally finished dealing with the matter. The people above only told them to go back and wait for the results. Song Zhen and Old Yan also knew that at this stage they could only wait on their own. They packed their luggage and prepared to return to H Province.

　　However, before Song Zhen went back, he wanted to go back home. He was usually busy with work and didn't go home for a year or two. Now that he was in Beijing, it would be unreasonable if he didn't go back home to see his old father and mother.

　　At that time, in the Song residence in the military compound, Mrs. Song was holding her little grandson in her arms and adoring him. Not only that, she would also talk to her husband about her little son from time to time.
