From the History of the Republic of China to Raising Children in the 1970s

Director Zhou was just thinking that if Li Chengye really had a good relationship with Secretary Gao, he might be able to get some convenience in the future. Of course, it wasn't a bad thing, it would just be more convenient when he went to the county to find someone. But at this moment, this idea in his mind had completely disappeared. Some people and some relationships must not be used.

After that, there was a period of silence, but it didn't last long. Soon Director Zhou and Secretary Chu started talking again, but they were close to each other and their voices were low. Li Chengye didn't hear anything, and of course he didn't listen on purpose.

As Secretary Chu and his team returned to the factory, many orders were soon arranged, and the news that the factory was going to replace new equipment was immediately spread. Of course, this is not the first time this has been mentioned, but it has been shelved for funding reasons. Now there is finally confirmed news, and everyone in the factory is very happy.

Of course, equipment is not so easy to buy. Nowadays, the more advanced equipment in steel smelting is imported from abroad. In recent years, their relations with M and D countries have been good, so there is no problem in this regard, but what equipment to import, the model of the equipment, the price and the transportation method require many discussions and negotiations.

For several days, the steel plant has held meetings one after another. The equipment that needs to be replaced has been decided, but which country to buy from and which model to import are still being debated. Some people think that they should buy from Country M, which is closer and has a more favorable price. Some people think that they should buy from Country D, which is much farther away, but has very good quality and more advanced technology. Some people think that they should buy from Country R, ​​which has good quality and low price.

Li Chengye is now eligible to attend these meetings, but of course he only went in to take some notes. He thinks that these people have missed the point. Not to mention whether those countries will sell the best equipment to them, even if they are willing to sell, the price may not be something their steel mills can afford. This is not a trivial matter.

Secretary Chu was also troubled by these people. On this day, Li Chengye was reporting the work arrangements for the past few days with Secretary Chu in the office, and heard a burst of excited shouting from outside.

"Old Chu, Old Chu, there is good news! Great news is coming! Great news!" But it was Director Zhou who pushed the door and ran in. He was smiling, and he didn't care that Li Chengye was still standing in the room. He walked to Secretary Chu in a few steps and started talking hurriedly.

Secretary Chu rarely saw him like this, and was also very curious. He waved his hand to let Li Chengye wait for a while, and asked helplessly: "What good news? I! Now I am almost worried to death!" After saying that, he also sighed deeply.

Director Zhou was in a hurry just now, but now he was like a duck with its mouth shut. He slowly pulled a chair and sat down, and raised his eyebrows proudly at Secretary Chu, "Guess?"

Secretary Chu frowned helplessly, "Look, I still have the mood to play guessing games!"

Li Chengye stood aside with a calm expression. Since Secretary Chu didn't let him go out, he could only stand here and listen.

Director Zhou laughed, "Just guess, it's easy to guess!"

Secretary Chu didn't say anything.

Director Zhou had no choice but to do it. Besides, he was not someone who could keep things to himself for a long time. After a while, he said hastily, "Well, forget it. I'll tell you. There's news from the county. Do you know what it said?"
