Chapter 412 Lao Song Is No Longer Lame
"Is this Zhongying Street? Why is it like a big fair in our county?"
"There are a lot of people, so of course the goods will be good! You guys can help me keep an eye on it later! I'll go buy some good things."
"What good stuff do you want to buy?"
"Don't talk about it. My wife asked me to buy it. Don't ask questions about women's affairs."
"Shit, I can guess it without telling you. It's either stockings or underwear. You're thirty-four or five years old and you're still so showy."
"."
“It’s so good, I’ll buy a few for my wife too.”
"You're thirty-nine years old with your special brew, don't you think it's too fancy?"
"A man has forty-one flowers, it would be strange if I didn't spend them!"
On the fourth day when the visiting group came to Pengcheng, Li Ye, at the request of Li Zhongfa and others, asked Hao Jian to handle the procedures for them to travel to Zhongying Street, and took them for a spin to have fun.
Zhongying Street is more famous now than it was two years ago. Many people feel that going to Zhongying Street is like going abroad. Everyone finally comes to Pengcheng. If you don’t go and see it, it will always be a little bit like a fly in the ointment. a feeling of.
When everyone first arrived at Zhongying Street, they didn't think much of it, but once they saw the goods and asked about the prices, they couldn't control themselves anymore. Everything they saw was good and everything was cheap.
However, there were fewer people coming to Zhongying Street today. Factory Director Wang and a few of his entourage went back early last night.
The reason was that the technical reform team of Changbei Machinery Company had made a "major technological breakthrough" and called Director Wang to report the good news. Director Wang rushed back with his people to take charge of the overall situation.
After arriving at Zhongying Street, Li Zhongfa found an opportunity when no one was around and asked Li Ye: "Xiaoye, do you think that major technological breakthrough is true or false?"
"That must be fake," Li Ye said firmly: "Grandpa, you have also seen the technical transformation team run by Factory Director Wang. I don't believe you can't tell how much it weighs with your eyesight."
A few days ago, Li Zhongfa took a delegation from Qingshui Food Company to visit Changbei. Director Wang also specially showed the technical transformation team to everyone.
There are some scattered parts in half of the workshop, and the hands, feet, and clothes of several technical modification personnel are clean. It looks like a face-saving project no matter how you look at it.
"Well, although I don't know much about mechanics, I still think it's a bit of a fool's errand. It's obvious at first glance that those technicians are not hard-working people.
But Wang Qinshan is not a person who talks empty words. Since the technological breakthrough is fake, he probably just bought it off the shelf and cooperated with that China AI company."
Li Zhongfa looked at Li Ye and suddenly said with a smile: "But it's strange. Tang Mingtai heard the day before yesterday that he wanted Fusang people to cooperate, and he was so anxious to argue with Wang Qinshan, but after receiving the news last night, he didn't make any noise. Like a good daughter-in-law, have you hatched some evil idea?"
Li Ye said in surprise: "Grandpa, have you seen all this?"
Li Zhongfa made a fool of himself and cursed with a smile: "I didn't even need to look, I guessed it. Have you ever been willing to suffer losses in the past two years? The calmer you are, the more you hold back the bad things."
"."
"Grandpa, you are so awesome. You got half of your guesses right."
Li Ye said half praise and half flattery, and then said: "We are not holding back this time, we are preparing to compete with the technology of Zhongai Machinery Company."
"You want to compete head-on with Xiaorili?"
Li Zhongfa suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "Although I am not afraid of them on the battlefield, when it comes to machinery and technology, my life is really not bad, so you have to be careful."
Li Ye looked at Li Zhongfa with admiration in his heart.
He did not say big words or empty words like "overcoming difficulties will lead to victory" like some people did, nor did he say depressing words like "can you do it?" He just said "be careful".
In other words, Li Zhongfa had no hesitation in his heart, and subconsciously felt that he should compete head-on with the Zhongai Company and fight with it.
Li Ye said calmly: "Grandpa, you don't need to remind me. I know the gap between our mainland and Fuso in terms of finishing. They are ten or even decades ahead of us.
If this is a competition with all original imported products like 2188 TV, then we can’t compare, we really can’t compare, after all, their multi-axis machine tools are way ahead of ours,”
Li Ye paused and suddenly smiled: "But Zhongai Machinery Company is in Pengcheng! So what are we afraid of?"
Li Zhongfa didn't quite understand, so he asked: "What happened to them in Pengcheng? Can you still ask Hao Jian to stumble them? Some methods are not on the table."
"We don't use any means. It's them who have hindered their own legs. Zhongai Company is in Pengcheng, so it is on the same starting line as us,"
Li Ye explained: "Machinery materials that we don't have in the mainland need to be imported at high prices, but they also have to import them,"
"If their core components are processed overseas, then we can also process them overseas through Hong Kong Island. The cost seems to be higher now, but we are smart in our daily lives. Sooner or later, the price will increase, and we will see who can afford it."
"If they want to process locally, they can get advanced machine tools from Pengcheng. We can get it as long as we spend a lot of money,"
"Even if they hire some craftsmen from Fuso, our master craftsmen from the mainland are not bad at all!"
"Then what's the next competition? Isn't it just a competition on technology?"
Li Ye said confidently: "Grandpa, we are indeed lagging behind others now, but we have a tradition of concentrating our efforts on doing big things.
Zhongai Company is not a very large company. How many PhDs can he afford? How many professors can you afford to hire? "
"."
Li Ye took a breath and said calmly but firmly: "Pei Wencong has returned to Hong Kong Island today to inspect the new machine tools. Tang Mingtai has also returned to the capital to recruit people. The next step is to speak based on his ability."
"That group of Fuso people didn't just contact the Changbei Machinery Factory. They want to use a little advanced technology to make a big difference. Let's let them fly for a while, and when the time is right, we will follow him with bayonets."
"If we win, let's feel proud and have a drink to celebrate."
"If you lose, your skills are inferior to others. Just stand up and fight for another round."
"."
Li Zhongfa, who had gone through many hardships, was speechless for a long time, and his teeth started to chew.
Of course he understands what Li Ye said, and he also agrees with competing with the other party, but the key to the problem is "money"!
Which of the things Li Ye said does not require spending money?
If you have money, everything you say makes sense, but if you don't have money, you are just farting, so there are so many people who can't do it like you?
When someone introduces an advanced production line, it requires a lot of foreign exchange. What can you do if you don't have foreign exchange?
You just have foreign exchange
[Sun Tzu, let’s concentrate on doing big things, and that’s done with public money. You’re talking to others based on your ability, but you’re spending private money. Do you feel bad? 】
[I must feel distressed, but why does it sound a little happy? 】
"."
"Xiao Ye! Although I don't understand what you are doing, it sounds quite exciting to me. Just go ahead and do it! If you lose your pants, grandpa will support you."
Li Zhongfa was not a mother-in-law. Although he gritted his teeth, he still encouraged Li Ye with a righteous face.
What your grandson does must be supported.
Li Ye also smiled and said: "Grandpa, what you said sounds exciting, huh?"
Li Ye was halfway through his words when he was suddenly stunned because he suddenly saw an "attractive" person in the crowd through Li Zhongfa's shoulder.
. . . . . . . .
In 1984, the streets of Zhongying were crowded with people. There were traders carrying big bags to buy goods, and there were also fashionable tourists looking left and right with cameras.
There are also pickpockets and swindlers with cunning eyes, so no matter who appears, it is not surprising.
Lao Song was wearing an expensive-looking sunhat and a pair of expensive-looking toad glasses. He held two iron gall bladders in his hands, rattling and spinning.
If it was just his outfit, it wouldn't be too unusual. Li Ye wouldn't have looked at him twice in the crowd to recognize this guy who covered most of his face.
Lao Song usually walks slowly.
Most of the people who came to Zhongying Street walked briskly around this mall and looked at that store, but Lao Song walked in a square step, moving step by step steadily, as leisurely as a veteran cadre walking.
Such people are rare on Zhongying Street.
But everyone who didn't know him couldn't tell that he was lame.
Li Ye, who was following behind, had been observing Lao Song for some time. Through his keen observation, he could confirm that Lao Song was actually walking very hard.
A cripple can pretend to be an ordinary person. Is it not hard work?
So why did he hide that he was a cripple? I've been lame for so many years, but it's not embarrassing.
Li Ye followed for a while and didn't find anyone whom Old Song was hiding his lameness from, but since he knew the details of Old Song, there must be something fishy.
After careful observation, careful identification, and careful comparison, Li Ye finally locked onto a person.
He was a very tall man, over fifty years old. He was walking on the street without buying anything.
Lao Song's eyes kept looking left and right casually, not focusing on anyone, but he always kept a close distance to the man.
Li Ye looked carefully at the other person's face and seemed to understand something.
That man was somewhat similar to the second uncle Guan Ciying. Thinking about what Lao Song had told him, Li Ye guessed that this man might be Guan Ciying's eldest brother Guan Cihui.
Guan Cihui's younger brother Guan Ciying knew Lao Song, was he hiding from him?
In Pengcheng in the summer, the sun was fierce. Li Ye followed Lao Song and the man who seemed to be Guan Cihui and walked around like this for a long time.
Just when he was wondering whether he should quietly go up and drag Lao Song aside to ask for clarification, Guan Cihui at the front stopped.
As for Lao Song, he suddenly seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. Standing on the roadside, he no longer had the leisurely calmness he had just before.
Li Ye followed the gazes of Lao Song and Guan Cihui and saw an old man at the intersection of the four gazes.
The old man's hair has turned a lot whiter, and he also has age spots on his face, but his body is straight and his eyes are sharp, without any of the drowsiness of the elderly.
He stood on the Hong Kong side of Zhongying Street, looking at Guan Cihui quietly, but did not notice Lao Song behind him.
"Ding ding ding ding~"
The pair of iron gallbladders in Lao Song's hand made a slight sound due to the trembling of his wrists, indicating the excitement in his heart at this moment.
