1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 56: Flying Directly to the Capital
New Year's Eve.

Lu Yifan never dreamed that during the first Spring Festival after his rebirth, he would fly to the capital and celebrate the New Year there.

Moreover, after flying to the capital.

He actually stayed directly in the military guesthouse near the lake.

That’s right, in the following, he, Zheng Xinmin and Wang Dalong, the three of them, were very successful in leading the military trade procurement negotiations between the two western neighboring countries, and signed a military trade export order worth the equipment of 20 army divisions (Bai Xiang finally shamelessly demanded the same treatment as Baba Yang and begged to sign a multi-functional military shovel worth the equipment of 5 army divisions).

Once the news came out, it caused a sensation among the top leaders.

Now, they have been urgently summoned to Beijing and have to be ready at any time to go into the lake and accept the summons from the leader, who wants to talk to the three of them in person about some relevant matters.

It is not surprising that the superiors were eager to summon them in person after hearing the news.

The truth is, the military trade representatives of the two western neighboring countries have been in China for so long, and have been hearing news from all sides that both sides of the negotiations are in the same boat because we don't sell the things they want to buy, and the things we can sell are not valued by others at all. Because of these contradictions and embarrassing situations, no one in the military or at the higher levels is optimistic about this military trade deal.

But in such an extremely unfavorable situation.

Surprisingly, the situation took a sudden turn because of the sudden joining of three people who were temporarily summoned for help...

The result was a huge order for equipment for 20 army divisions...

Let's just say this news, who wouldn't be moved after hearing it? !
Not to mention, according to the inside information currently held by the relevant parties, our military trade negotiation team had previously had an internal conflict due to some ideological differences. The previous negotiation team was severely educated by the later ones with the "three don't believe" ideology.

The facts are before us, proving that the previous negotiation working group did have major problems with its methods and approaches.

Previously, all parties had always firmly believed that we could not sell what foreign guests wanted, and that the conventional weapons we wanted to sell were not even worth the attention of foreign guests...

This argument has been proven to be complete nonsense.

When such a problem of insufficient awareness arises within the company, how can we not delve into the root cause and draw lessons from the experience?

As a result, the three of them were urgently summoned to fly to the capital.

The current performance of Zheng Xinmin and Wang Dalong is not much better than that of Lu Yifan. The three of them are immersed in a huge atmosphere of happiness.

This experience will be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

"Yifan, I really want to thank you. If you hadn't scolded Liang Zhenxing and the others, and if you hadn't enlightened me later, I would have known that the two western neighboring countries needed us more. Our military trade and export negotiations this time would not have been as fruitful as they are now..."

Director Zheng's words were extremely sincere.

He was truly grateful to this young man, Lu Yifan: he was active in thinking, enterprising, and daring. He was born to be a good military trade negotiator...

To be honest, he is already middle-aged, about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old.

Life is at its prime, and it is the best time when you are young, strong and energetic.

Let’s just say that who doesn’t want to strive for progress and have a better career development prospect.

Over the years, my greatest achievement in work is that I have been working diligently and conscientiously to ensure favorable production and construction at the 1387 Factory, with outstanding performance. I was awarded a third-class collective merit, and then I became the production director through seniority.

It was by chance that he was temporarily conscripted as a "conscript".

When the New Year was approaching, I was tasked with flying to the provincial capital to provide logistical support to the military trade procurement negotiation working group.

To put it bluntly, it is his duty and he must carry out this logistical support mission.

In my heart, of course, I never imagined that I could achieve merit or receive an award by going on this mission...

But now...

Oh my god, I flew directly to Beijing, ready to enter the lake to receive a personal summons from the leader... Let's say, early this morning, I suddenly received the news and was notified to rush to the airport immediately. The moment I felt so happy that my beautiful dream suddenly came to me, wow...

On the wedding night, he entered the bridal chamber with his wife.

But I have never felt so happy and lasting like I do now!!!
"Indeed, Yifan, you are our lucky star. Ever since I met you, my life has been like a rocket, soaring so fast, so happy..."

Director Wang's emotion was even more direct and passionate.

To be honest, he had such a breakdown yesterday that he wanted to strangle himself, all because he was not calm and careful enough and actually took the wrong military shovel sample when he flew to the provincial capital.

But what happened later...

Wow, the Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory now has orders for military shovels worth 10 army divisions, and these are all large military trade orders that will be settled in US dollars in the future.

Let’s say that a county-level agricultural machinery factory has accomplished such an amazing military trade business.

Let's be proud of ourselves for once, why not? !
What's more, I, Wang Dalong, was able to take advantage of the situation and got the opportunity to be summoned by the leader in person.

This is the pinnacle moment of life that I wouldn’t trade for a mountain of gold!
"Ha, keep a low profile. You two are old comrades now. We must learn to be calm and composed. We must keep our minds steady so as not to stutter and embarrass ourselves when the leader asks us questions. So we must calm down now, prepare a good speech, and think about what topics the leader might ask about..."

“Oh, oh, oh, oh~~!”

Zheng Xinmin got anxious when he heard this. "Yifan, you are absolutely right. I was so excited and boastful that I forgot about this important matter. No, no, I have to write down the outline of my speech. I must not say the wrong thing in front of the leader..."

Wang Dalong was so anxious after hearing this that he was spinning in circles. "Oh my, oh my, what should I do? It seems that I didn't make any outstanding contribution at all. On the contrary, I almost ruined the military trade negotiations because of my negligence in my work. I, I, I am completely taking advantage of the situation..."

"Old Wang, please don't say that about yourself..."

"Yes, yes, yes, Director Wang, you must remember that you are now trying to win a large order for the production of military shovels for the Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory, which is enough to equip 10 army divisions. You must work hard to figure out how to promote production and ensure supply in the future, and perfectly complete the production task of military shovels to ensure that you earn foreign exchange for the country without any problems. The burden on your shoulders is extremely heavy..."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

After hearing what Lu Yifan said, Director Wang suddenly became more energetic and confident. He no longer felt that he was taking advantage of the situation.

I saw both of my partners took out their small notebooks and started writing, preparing their speech outlines.

Lu Yifan was not nervous at all.

At first, when he heard that he would be flying directly to the capital to be personally summoned by the leader for questioning, his mind was indeed full of chaotic thoughts during the hour or so he was on the military plane to Beijing. He had been thinking that after suddenly having such an opportunity to go directly to the capital and meet the leader, he should show his extraordinary vision as a reborn time traveler and his unique perspective on the future...

But now! ~~
I have completely dispelled such foolish and impulsive thoughts.

As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your government.

People have self-knowledge.

Ever since he became famous after taking the college entrance examination, Director Wang asked him to translate the technical manual of imported high-precision CNC machine tools. Later, inspired by his ex-wife Zhong Xiuping's 250 remittance slip and handwritten letter of encouragement, in order to add more layers of protective armor to his body, he designed a multifunctional military shovel and made aerospace-grade super-light steel material, thus becoming famous and well-known in the military research and development circle.

All I want is to not have to worry about getting punished when I report to university next year.

Later, he was summoned to participate in the military trade negotiations, which was completely unexpected.

Especially since he finally became one of the three people responsible for promoting military trade orders for 20 army divisions, he stole the limelight.

His current performance was beyond the capabilities and knowledge of an ordinary rural youth. If he still didn't know how to restrain himself and wanted to show off his presence in front of the leaders...

Ha ha.
