King of Industry

"Comrade, hello, do you have a ticket to Jianghai County?" Zhao Guoyang walked to the ticket counter and asked loudly.

Seeing the tall and handsome Zhao Guoyang standing in front of him, the eyes of the little girl at the ticket counter lit up.

She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Jianghai County, yes, there are, and the train will leave in ten minutes. You just happened to be there."

Zhao Guoyang paid the money, thanked the little girl at the ticket window, and then hurried to the ticket gate.

"Well, the ticket for 8:30 in the morning, that's right, go up." The aunt wearing a red armband at the ticket gate glanced at Zhao Guoyang's ticket and said lazily.

After exiting the ticket gate, a dilapidated minibus stood in front of Zhao Guoyang. In these years, the transportation to and from county-level cities is just like this.

After getting into the car in a hurry, Zhao Guoyang found that there were still four or five vacant seats, so he picked one near the window and sat down, and then looked out of the window at the people busily picking up and dropping off passengers.

A sound of "bang bang" attracted Zhao Guoyang's attention. He followed the sound and looked towards the car door, only to see a middle-aged man in a tunic suit standing upright near the car door, talking to the driver with a troubled face. wearing something.

Although the Chinese tunic suit of this middle-aged man had been washed a little gray, it was neatly arranged, and there was a pen pinned to his breast pocket. He looked like an intellectual, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but give him a few extra glances.

After listening carefully, Zhao Guoyang soon knew the reason why this person was stopped.

It turned out that this middle-aged man was called Hu Ping, and he was the vice president of the Jiangyu Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Jianghai County.

There was something wrong with a batch of hoes that their supply and marketing cooperative had bought in Ninghai City. Yesterday he took these hoes to the manufacturer to deal with them.

As a result, after Hu Ping came to Ninghai City, he discovered that the original manufacturer had closed down, and there was no one in the factory.

In desperation, Hu Ping had no choice but to drive back to the supply and marketing cooperative early this morning.

However, after Hu Ping bought the ticket, the driver refused to let him put the hoe into the car.

The reason is very simple, his car is to solicit customers along the way, if dozens of hoes occupy the space in the car, then he is still soliciting customers.

"Comrade, how about I make up another ticket, and you let me bring these hoes into the car, okay?" Hu Ping said pleadingly.

"What can you pay for another ticket?" The driver sneered and said disdainfully.

"Don't even look at it. Even if I give you two places in the space on my car, can you fit so many hoes?"

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Zhao Guoyang stood up and said, "Master driver, if you think this is going to work, let this comrade make up for another ticket, and I will sit in the last row with him. This way his hoe can also be put down. Won't it take up too much space?"

"This..." The driver was probably also annoyed by the middle-aged man, so he nodded casually after hearing Zhao Guoyang's words.

"Alright, so let's do this. You make up a ticket, and the next four seats will be for the two of you."

After hearing what the driver said, Hu Ping nodded again and again and said: "Okay, I'm sorry, I'll make up the fare..."

After Hu Ping finished making up the ticket, Zhao Guoyang also helped him move more than a dozen hoes to the last row of the minibus and put them on the ground.

After finishing all this, the middle-aged man thanked Zhao Guoyang a lot, and briefly introduced himself.

Hearing that Hu Ping is the vice president of Jiangyu Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Zhao Guoyang's heart moved.

Jiangyu Town is one of the more affluent towns in Jianghai County. Its supply and marketing cooperative is one of the three branches directly under the Jianghai County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and has its own purchasing power.

For example, the supply and marketing cooperatives have quotas for the purchase of tickets for bicycles and televisions, which is a great power for ordinary people today.

After Zhao Guoyang was reborn, he had many ideals and ambitions he wanted to realize, but the most realistic and most needed right now is undoubtedly to make himself and his family live a better life.

So for him, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to get to know the vice president of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Under Zhao Guoyang's deliberate friendship, the two quickly became acquainted.

When Zhao Guoyang helped Hu Ping move those hoes, he had already discovered the curls of these hoes.

At this time, he pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Brother Hu, why are you running around carrying so many hoes? It's laborious and troublesome..."

Hu Ping sighed and said, "Oh, brother Zhao, you don't know. These hoes were purchased from Ninghai Haifeng Agricultural Tools Machinery Factory by our supply and marketing cooperative for more than 100 yuan."

"Who knew that within a month after I bought them back, these hoes were cracked and completely unusable. I called them, but I couldn't get in touch. I had to go to find them in person. Who knows..."

"Is this farm machinery factory closed down?" Zhao Guoyang asked tentatively.

"Yes, Brother Zhao, you guessed it right!" Hu Ping sighed.

"Yesterday, when I took these hoes to the Haifeng Agricultural Tools Machinery Factory, I realized that the gate of the factory was locked and there was no one inside."

"Hey, I've also heard about this Haifeng Farm Tool Machinery Factory. It was indeed closed down not long ago. Brother Hu, if you want to find them, I'm afraid you won't be able to find them." Zhao Guoyang said realistically.

"Who says it's not? It's a pity that so many hoes bought by our supply and marketing cooperative are just useless." Hu Ping said angrily.

"Brother, you don't know. What I brought with me this time is only a small part of what the supply and marketing cooperative purchased. There are hundreds of hoes in the cooperative that have similar problems. I returned without success this time, but how should I explain to those cooperative members? ah……"

Hearing Hu Ping's angry and aggrieved words, Zhao Guoyang rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "Brother Hu, to be honest, I am engaged in mechanical processing, if you don't mind, let me take a good look, maybe I can help you find a way to fix it."

"Ah? I didn't see it, brother, you are an expert in machining?" Hu Ping said with wide eyes, looking at Zhao Guoyang with an incredulous expression.

Zhao Guoyang said modestly: "Experts can't tell, but a tool like a hoe is not a sophisticated thing, and the principle is also very simple. I think I still have some confidence."

"Then what are you waiting for, brother, help me to see!" Hu Ping said impatiently.

Zhao Guoyang nodded, picked up the hoe and looked it over carefully, he already knew it.

These hoes obviously had problems during the heat treatment process at the top, and the internal stress was too large during quenching, resulting in a decrease in strength.

If you want to solve it, you just need to heat it again, it's not a big problem that is difficult to solve.

As for the few severely cracked hoes, in Zhao Guoyang's opinion, they may need to be repaired by brazing, which is a little troublesome, but it is better than buying new ones.

After reading it, Zhao Guoyang told Hu Ping exactly what he found.
