Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Hearing the words "Banlanazi", people who don't know the truth may think that Luo Bing is driving a car, but in fact, what Luo Bing is talking about is a Polonaise car.

Polonaise is a sedan produced in Poland. This car is a modification of the Fiat 125. It has four large round lights on the front face and a fastback design. It was very fashionable at the time. According to its homophony, the people nicknamed it

"Half-Lanazi"

In the early 1980s, Poland's political situation was in chaos, and people's livelihood and economy were greatly affected. China imported a large number of Polonaise cars through barter trade. Unfortunately, this car did not look serious enough and was not suitable as an official car.

Used, so in big cities, Polonaise eventually became the first.

In a small city like Qinghe, there is no problem with the Polonaise as a business car. It is an imported car after all, and it is much better than the BJ212 Jeep. Cars that are despised in big cities are eagerly wanted in small cities.

In later generations, special heavy-duty sedan trucks will definitely be used to transport new cars. A 13.75-meter trailer can transport six cars at a time, and models with a center axle will have a larger transport capacity.

Obviously there was no such transportation conditions in the 1980s, so the best way of transportation was to send a driver there and drive the car back.

Fortunately, Qinghe is located in the eastern region. If you are in an inland province like Tibet and Xinjiang, the new car will have passed the running-in period after picking up the car.

…

Li Weidong and his party boarded the train to Tianjin.

The train speed in the 1980s was relatively slow. It took more than ten hours to take a train from Qinghe to Jinmen, so this time, Li Weidong took a hard sleeper.

It is difficult to buy hard sleeper seats on trains. Basically, leading cadres are on business trips and are eligible to sit in hard sleeper seats. It is almost impossible to buy more than 30 hard sleeper tickets at one time.

But this is not a problem for Qinghe Transportation Company. The transportation company and the railway station are brother units and have very close business contacts with each other, especially the freight departments of both parties. It can even be said that they are interdependent.

Although the volume of rail transportation is large, it is limited by rail lines. Without rail connections, even two adjacent cities cannot be transported by rail.

Road transportation is much more flexible. As long as the vehicle can move, things can be transported. Therefore, even the largest railway companies need units like transportation companies to supplement their transportation capacity.

With the relationship between the transportation company and the railway, not to mention more than thirty sleeper tickets, even a few train cars can be obtained.

A hard sleeper was much more comfortable than a hard seat. Li Weidong played a few pokers with several driver masters, then lay down on the bed and slept before arriving in Jinmen City.

After checking into the guest house, Luo Bing let others move freely while he went to the local foreign trade department to go through the procedures for picking up the car.

Li Weidong left the guest house with a driver who was familiar with Jinmen and went for a walk in a busy place.

In Jinmen City in 1985, in addition to the bicycle army, there were buses with wires on their heads. This was a characteristic of big cities at the time.

In the prosperous area of ​​Jinmen City, there are already coin-operated telephone booths on the roadside. This was still a new thing for the people at that time. Around Haihe Square, there are endless small buildings. In the theater on Ancient Culture Street, there are still people in Taiwan at night.

In the Central Park, the most famous dating corner in the future, there are advertisements promoting late marriage and family planning.

There are many people in Quanyechang at night. Big brands such as Phoenix Confidence Car, Huaqing Pool, Jinmen Daoxiang Village, etc. even have their own neon advertisements, adding a sense of vitality to the night.

As far as nightlife is concerned, a big city like Jinmen really beats the little Qinghe. Unfortunately, although Li Weidong has the appearance of seventeen years old, he has the mentality of a middle-aged and elderly person and is not interested in the noisy nightlife.

He bought a bag of mahua as a gift for his foodie brother and returned to the guest house.

Li Weidong and Luo Bing lived in the same room. When Li Weidong opened the door, he happened to see Luo Bing eating dry food with pickles.

"Captain Luo, why are you eating now?" Li Weidong asked.

"After a busy day, it's already past dinner time. The chef has already taken a rest, so I can only make do with a few mouthfuls of dry food." Luo Bing looked at his watch and asked, "On the contrary, it's you,

Why are you back so early? Aren't you going to go out for a walk? Jinmen is much more lively than ours."

"I'm not interested, so I came back." Li Weidong said, taking out the bag of twists and placing them in front of Luo Bing, and then said: "Captain Luo, I just bought some twists. Try them. They are better than steamed buns and pickles.

"

"Thank you." Luo Bing was not polite, broke off a piece of twist and put it at the end, chewing it with a satisfied expression on his face.

Li Weidong picked up the thermos bottle, poured himself a cup of tea, then sat next to Luo Bing and asked: "Captain Luo, did your trip to the Foreign Trade Bureau go smoothly this time?"

"Don't mention it. The matter has not been completed. We have to continue tomorrow." Luo Bing wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and continued: "The deputy director in charge of this matter is not here. I waited until they got off work and no one came back. No

If the deputy director signs, we won't be able to pick up the car. I plan to go to the Foreign Trade Bureau early tomorrow morning to block him. If we can't block him again, we will have to stay for another day."

Li Weidong thought for a while and asked: "Captain Luo, how about I go with you tomorrow. The two of us can at least go to the toilet in exchange. It will be more convenient to buy a meal."

Luo Bing nodded: "Okay, then you come with me. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning. There is a pancake and fruit shop nearby, which is very delicious. I just want to take you to try it."

…

The next day, before dawn, Luo Bing and Li Weidong got up and left the guest house. Luo Bing treated Li Weidong to a pancake and fruit, and they went straight to the Foreign Trade Bureau.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Foreign Trade Bureau, it was not yet time for work and the door was closed tightly. The two of them waited at the door, hoping to block the deputy director. When the Foreign Trade Bureau went to work, the two ran away and waited inside the Foreign Trade Bureau.

However, until after nine o'clock in the morning, the deputy director still did not show up.

In desperation, Luo Bing had to go to the office director and ask about the deputy director's situation.

"Director Wang, I'm just an errand boy, so don't embarrass me." Luo Bing's attitude was very low.

"Comrade, I'm really not trying to make things difficult for you. I really don't know when Director Zhou will come back." The office director surnamed Wang replied.

"You are the office director, so you don't know Director Zhou's schedule. I will ask him to sign and leave after signing. Please help me." Luo Bing begged.

Director Wang sighed helplessly: "To tell you the truth, Bureau Zhou has been receiving an important foreign guest these past two days, but during the process of receiving the foreign guest, he encountered some troubles. Our Bureau Zhou has been receiving the guests for the past two days.

Solve this matter. If the matter is not resolved, I really don’t know when he will come back."

Luo Bing showed an expression of disbelief, as if he was questioning Director Wang's deliberate prevarication.

Director Wang had no choice but to explain: "The foreign guest that Director Zhou received this time was an automotive engineer from RB. In order to receive this foreign guest, we also specially found a Japanese teacher from Jinmen University to translate for the foreign guest.

Who knew that this Japanese teacher had no problem handling daily conversations, but when it came to professional vocabulary about cars, he was blinded.

Foreign guests come here to inspect cars. If they don’t understand the professional vocabulary about cars, the inspection will not be possible. Our Zhou Bureau can only find translators everywhere. In Tianjin, it is easy to find people who can speak Japanese, but when it comes to

I really can’t find any professional vocabulary about automobiles. Director Zhou is thinking that if he really can’t find it, he will go to the capital in person and ask the Ministry of Foreign Trade for help.”

When Luo Bing heard this answer, his expression instantly turned into a pickled cucumber. He said to himself: "It's one hundred and fifty kilometers from Jinmen to the capital. It will take a day to go back and forth! If we add more

Don’t we have to wait two days to find a translator?”

Luo Bing thought that when he came to Tianjin this time, he would simply pick up his car and leave the next day. But he didn't expect that things would become so complicated.

At this moment, Li Weidong next to him walked up and asked: "Director Wang, can you find a Japanese translator who understands automotive vocabulary and call Director Zhou back?"

"Can you find a translator?" Director Wang asked hurriedly.

Li Weidong nodded: "I can find a Japanese translator who is proficient in automotive vocabulary."

"Xiao Li, don't talk nonsense, you can't deceive the leaders of the Foreign Trade Bureau." Luo Bing hurriedly tugged at the corner of Li Weidong's clothes.

"Captain Luo, I'm not talking nonsense, I can really find a Japanese translator." Li Weidong said confidently.

Seeing Li Weidong's confident face, Director Wang said, "Well, as long as you find the Japanese translator, I will contact Director Zhou immediately and ask him to come back."

"No problem!" Li Weidong pointed to himself and continued: "The translation you want is far away but right in front of you."

"Is it you?" Luo Bing and Director Wang exclaimed at the same time, and then looked at Li Weidong with incredible eyes.

Li Weidong nodded: "I can speak some Japanese, especially automotive terminology, which is what I am best at."

Li Weidong has been a car mechanic in RB for several years, so he is naturally familiar with the professional terminology of cars. In this regard, ordinary RB people are not as good as Li Weidong.

Director Wang didn't believe Li Weidong, so he said, "Comrade Zhou, you didn't lie to me on purpose just to get Director Zhou back, did you?"

Li Weidong smiled: "If you don't believe me, get a Japanese document now and I will translate it for you on the spot."

Director Wang looked at Li Weidong suspiciously, and then ordered his subordinates: "Xiao Zhang, didn't our bureau receive a letter in Japanese the day before yesterday? Bring it to this young comrade and ask him to translate it."

Soon after, the clerk brought a letter in Japanese. Li Weidong took the letter, read half of it hastily, and then said: "Let me read it in Japanese first, and then translate it again."

I saw Li Weidong read the letter in proficient Japanese, then translated the content of the letter, then raised his head and asked: "Director Wang, should you believe me now?"

"I believe it! I believe it! Little comrade, just wait, I will find someone right now to call Director Zhou back." Director Wang said, waving his hand again and calling his subordinates: "Xiao Zhang, hurry up and bring these two comrades

Go to the reception room and prepare some tea, melon seeds, candies and snacks, so these two comrades don't go hungry!"

…

In the reception room, Li Weidong was leaning on the spring sofa, eating melon seeds and drinking tea leisurely.

Comrade Xiao Zhang from the office came in with a plate of snacks and said, "Comrades, these are our special snacks in Tianjin. You can try them."

"Thank you." Li Weidong thanked him, picked up a snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

Luo Bing next to him looked like he was sitting on pins and needles. The large spring sofa was lowered under Luo Bing's buttocks, like a pointed stone.

"Xiao Li, can you really translate Japanese? If you can't, I can't help you." Luo Bing whispered.

"Captain Luo, don't worry. Come and try this snack. It's crispy and fragrant. We can't have it there." Li Weidong said and handed a piece of snack to Luo Bing.

"How can I rest assured!" Luo Bing looked at the door and then said: "Otherwise, before Director Zhou comes back, let's run away?"

"What are we running for? How can we pick up the car if we run away!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I always feel uneasy." Luo Bing then asked: "Where did you learn Japanese? And you also know the terminology of automobile industry? None of the Japanese teachers in other universities can!"

"Captain Luo, don't forget, I came from an auto repair shop! That university teacher has never repaired a car, so he definitely doesn't understand the professional terminology of cars!"

As Li Weidong spoke, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Luo Bing's hand, intending to block the mouth of this "curious baby".

…

In 1985, there were no mobile phones in China, and even BP machines were a new gadget. At least in Tianjin, there were no paging stations.

In this case, it is very difficult to find someone. If a person is away from home, there is no way to contact him.

I don't know how much effort it took before Director Wang found Deputy Director Zhou who was out of town.

Li Weidong and Luo Bing waited for a long time, with a large table of melon seed peels piled up. Deputy Director Zhou finally appeared in front of them.

Deputy Director Zhou walked into the reception room, glanced at Li Weidong and Luo Bing, then walked directly towards Luo Bing, held Luo Bing's hand and said, "This is the translation teacher, I am Zhou Fulai, let me

I'm sorry you've waited so long."

"Uh, um, Bureau Zhou, I'm not the translator! The translator you are looking for is him." Luo Bing pointed to Li Weidong next to him with an embarrassed look.

Zhou Fulai turned to look at Li Weidong and frowned immediately.

"Are you a translator?" Zhou Fulai asked hesitantly.

Li Weidong nodded: "Hello Zhou Bureau, I am the Japanese translator you are looking for."

"Why are you still a student? Isn't this nonsense!" Zhou Fulai snorted coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Li Weidong shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, I was underestimated again!"
