Siheyuan: A Beautiful Life

Wu Aiguo rode back to the supply and marketing cooperative and took his lunch box to the cafeteria to eat. As a result, as soon as he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, he met Director Jiang coming out of the cafeteria.

"Patriot! Where did you go just now?" Director Jiang saw Wu Aiguo holding a lunch box in his hand and immediately asked Wu Aiguo with a smile.

Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Director Jiang! I just had something to do and I went out to do something."

"Patriot! Director Yang from the steel rolling mill called me this morning and said he would invite you to the steel rolling mill for dinner tonight." Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's answer and immediately told Wu Aiguo about Director Yang's invitation to dinner.

When Wu Aiguo heard the news that Director Jiang told him, he smiled and asked Director Jiang: "Director Jiang! When will we go there? When the time comes, please let me know if you are excited, and I will go with you."

Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, smiled and nodded, and replied: "Okay! Aiguo! I will send someone to inform you when I set off."

Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's words, nodded with a smile, and replied: "Okay! Director Jiang, then I will wait for your notification."

After lunch, Wu Aiguo returned to the office. Li Xiangdong walked into the office from the outside, smiled and asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Where did you go this morning? I came here to look for you twice, but I couldn't find you? "

When Wu Aiguo heard Li Xiangdong's inquiry, he stood up from his desk and asked with a smile: "Chief Li! I had something to do this morning and went out to do something. Do you have anything to do with me?"

When Li Xiangdong heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, he smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Lao Guo from the coal yard, in order to thank you for helping them get unplanned food, I would like to invite you to have a casual meal together in the evening. "

When Wu Aiguo learned about Li Xiangdong's purpose, he remembered that Director Yang wanted to treat him to dinner that night, and said with regret: "Chief Li! It's really unlucky. I just met Director Jiang when I was eating in the cafeteria. ."

"Director Jiang told me that Director Yang of the steel rolling mill invited me to dinner tonight and asked me to go to the steel rolling mill with him for dinner."

Li Xiangdong was very surprised when he learned that Director Yang invited him to dinner. He smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Since you are going to the rolling mill with Director Jiang, I will call Lao Guo later. Let him make an appointment another day."

When Wu Aiguo heard what Li Xiangdong said, he smiled and said to Li Xiangdong: "Section Chief Li! When you call Director Guo, you must remember to say sorry to him for me."

At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo, Director Jiang, and Director Xiao from the office rode bicycles to the gate of the steel rolling mill.

"Chief Wu! You are here. Our factory manager Yang has already been waiting for you in the office." The three of them had just arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill. Captain Huang, who had already been waiting at the gate of the factory, saw Wu Aiguo's arrival. , immediately greeted him warmly.

Wu Aiguo heard Captain Huang's words and quickly introduced him to Captain Huang: "Captain Huang! Let me introduce you. This is Director Jiang of our supply and marketing cooperative, and this is Director Xiao of our supply and marketing cooperative office."

After Wu Aiguo's introduction, he turned to introduce to the two of them: "Director Jiang! Director Xiao! This is Captain Huang from the security department of the steel rolling mill. He and I can be considered comrades who have been on the battlefield together."

Captain Huang heard Wu Aiguo's introduction and politely greeted the two of them: "Director Jiang! Director Xiao! Welcome to our steel rolling mill."

Director Jiang shook hands with Captain Huang and said with a smile: "Captain Huang! Nice to meet you."

Accompanied by Captain Huang, the three of them walked into the steel rolling mill together. At this time, a scene not far away attracted Wu Aiguo's curiosity.

Not far from the gate of the steel rolling mill, Wu Aiguo saw several middle-aged men in suits standing in front of a pile of waste, chatting enthusiastically.

When Wu Aiguo saw this scene, he curiously asked Captain Huang who was traveling with him: "Captain Huang! Those people don't seem to be from our country."

Captain Huang heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, looked at a few middle-aged people not far away, and introduced Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Chief Wu! There are so many strange things these days. These Japanese little devils, today He came to our rolling mill in the morning and said he wanted to use foreign currency to buy the waste residue from our mill."

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Captain Huang, he immediately remembered what happened in later generations.

In the early 1970s, not long after China and Japan had just restored diplomatic relations, the Japanese made a strange request to us, asking to buy slag from a steelmaking company in China at a high price.

When the top Chinese officials learned about the Japanese people's request, they felt that something was going wrong. How could the Japanese people, who were always shrewd, be willing to make a loss-making business? They actually offered to buy worthless slag at a high price?

At that time, some people asked whether the Japanese had mastered some kind of technology that could turn this pile of slag into treasure. Finally, the top management made a decision that greatly disappointed the Japanese people, refusing to sell the slag and sealing it.

The Chinese senior officials originally thought that after rejecting the Japanese people, the Japanese people would pester them endlessly. Unexpectedly, the Japanese people were still obsessed with the slag and offered to buy the slag at high prices several times.

Japanese people are born to be unprofitable and unable to afford early benefits. The more they behave like this, the more senior Chinese officials will understand that these slags are not simple, so they arranged specialized scientific researchers to analyze these slags and finally found that these slags contain rare earths. Minerals and Fluorite Minerals.

Wu Aiguo thought of this incident and curiously asked Captain Huang: "Captain Huang! Don't we, China, have no diplomatic relations with Japan? Why do Japanese people come to your rolling mill to buy slag?"

Captain Huang heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Chief Wu! What our country is most lacking now is foreign exchange, and these Japanese people have a lot of foreign exchange in their hands. They are willing to give us foreign exchange. The people above will naturally I am willing to receive them."

When Wu Aiguo learned the reason why these Japanese people appeared here, he immediately asked Captain Huang: "Captain Huang! Is the ore used for steelmaking in your steel rolling mill shipped from Baotou?"

When Captain Huang heard the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he blurted out: "Chief Wu! How do you know that the ore used in our factory is shipped from Baotou?"

Wu Aiguo heard Captain Huang's inquiry and saw the surprised expression on Captain Huang's face, and finally determined the purpose of these Japanese people buying the slag, and said seriously: "Captain Huang! These slags must not be sold to those Japanese people. Let’s go find Director Yang quickly.”

Captain Huang felt a little baffled when he heard Wu Aiguo's words. When he saw Wu Aiguo's serious expression, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly quickened his pace and led Wu Aiguo and others toward Yang Factory. Long walk to the office.
