Siheyuan: A Beautiful Life

"Director Jiang! Welcome to our steel rolling mill!" A group of people walked into Director Yang's office. When Director Yang saw Director Jiang, Wu Aiguo and others, he immediately came forward and greeted everyone warmly.

Director Jiang shook hands with Director Yang and introduced him to Director Yang with a smile: "Director Yang! Let me introduce you. This is the deputy section chief of the purchasing department of our supply and marketing cooperative, driven by Wu Aiguo!"

After hearing Director Jiang's introduction, Director Yang said to Wu Aiguo with a grateful look on his face: "Comrade Wu Aiguo! Without your help this time, the goods shipped from our steel rolling mill to Baoding would probably be robbed by enemy agents. We On behalf of our rolling mill, thank you for your help."

When Wu Aiguo heard Director Yang's thanks, he shook hands with Director Yang first, and then replied humbly: "Director Yang! As a former Chinese soldier, it is our duty to fight against enemy agents."

Director Yang heard what Wu Aiguo said, then shook hands with Director Xiao, and then greeted everyone: "Director Jiang! Director Xiao! Comrade Patriot! Please take a seat."

When Wu Aiguo heard Director Yang's greeting, he thought of what he had just seen and immediately said to Director Yang: "Director Yang! We were just halfway to your office when we saw several Japanese people standing on a pile of slag. Recently, I heard Captain Huang say that these Japanese people plan to use foreign exchange to buy the slag from your factory. Is this true?"

When Director Yang heard Wu Aiguo suddenly ask about the purchase of slag by Japanese people, he showed an unexpected expression on his face and replied with a smile: "Comrade Patriot! This is indeed the case, but our superiors believe that Japanese people They are willing to use foreign exchange to buy our slag. There must be some conspiracy hidden in this, so we should treat it carefully."

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Director Yang, he thought of the Japanese people going to China to buy slag in the 1970s and replied with a smile: "Director Yang! You are right, the Japanese people are indeed unprofitable and can't afford it early. Because this slag contains very important minerals.”

"Comrade Patriot! What are you talking about? This batch of slag in our factory contains very important minerals. Who did you listen to about this?" Director Yang had a look on his face when he heard the news Wu Aiguo told him. With an extremely shocked expression, he quickly confirmed the news to Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Factory Director Yang's inquiry and saw the shocked expressions on the faces of Director Yang, Director Jiang and others. He nodded with certainty and replied: "Director Yang! If the ore used in your factory is The slag transported from Baotou contains very rare minerals."

When Director Yang heard Wu Aiguo's answer, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he said to Wu Aiguo: "Comrade Patriot! When the Japanese proposed to us to use foreign exchange to buy our slag, the leaders of the ministry felt that something was wrong. Abnormality must lead to monsters."

"Because it felt strange, the ministry invited scientific researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to analyze the slag from our factory. The result was that no difference was found in these slags? How did you know that these slags contained such rare minerals? Where are the minerals?”

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Director Yang, he smiled and asked Director Yang: "Director Yang! Since you all think that there is nothing in these slags, why do the Japanese people pay to buy them? Are the Japanese people? Fool?"

When Director Yang heard what Wu Aiguo said, he wholeheartedly agreed with what Wu Aiguo said, and replied with a smile: "Comrade Patriot! Your ideas coincide with ours! Therefore, the ministry will definitely seal it temporarily. For this batch of slag, the Japanese have proposed to use grain to exchange the slag with us in an equal-weight transaction, and the ministry is now studying the exchange of ten cents with the Japanese."

"Director Yang! Whether it is sold or exchanged, these slags must not be given to the Japanese." Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Director Yang and immediately realized that his superiors would probably use the slag to follow the factory because of the lack of food. The Japanese exchanged grain and quickly expressed their feelings to Factory Manager Yang.

Director Yang's reaction when he saw Wu Aiguo made him vaguely feel that Wu Aiguo must know the value of this batch of slag, and he quickly tentatively asked Wu Aiguo: "Comrade Patriot! Do you know the secrets in this batch of slag?" ?”

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Director Yang, the secret of Japanese people buying slag, which China's scientific research department had only successfully solved in the 1980s, made him immediately realize that he was too impulsive.

Thinking that this batch of slag contained valuable precious metals, Wu Aiguo immediately thought of his comrade who had died, and quickly introduced: "Director Yang! The situation is like this. When I just entered the steel rolling mill, I saw A group of people in suits were chatting in front of a slag heap."

"So I curiously asked Captain Huang about the identities of these people, and Captain Huang told me that those people were Japanese. He also said that the Japanese would use foreign exchange to buy the slag from your steel rolling mill."

"When I learned about this situation, I was puzzled. Japan and our country have not yet established diplomatic relations. Why would these Japanese people come to the steel rolling mill and use foreign exchange to buy these slags?"

"Because of this doubt, I suddenly remembered one of my comrades, so I asked Captain Huang a lot, whether the ore used in your steel rolling mill was shipped from Baotou? As a result, Captain Huang's reaction was disguised. It proved my suspicion."

The situation introduced by Wu Aiguo made Director Yang even more confused, and asked Wu Aiguo curiously: "Comrade Patriot! How could you guess that the iron ore in our factory is shipped back from Baotou? Do you know this?" Is there a secret in the slag?”

When Wu Aiguo heard Director Yang's inquiry, he introduced with a serious face: "Director Yang! To tell you the truth! One of my comrades in arms is from Baotou. When the war broke out, his grandfather and father He was captured by the Japanese and taken to the mines in Wuyuan City to mine."

"As a result, by a very coincidence, I heard from the translator at the mine that there is a very precious metal in the mine there, called industrial gold, and it is also a key material used in the production of tanks and aircraft."

"Comrade Patriot! Are you sure that the metal materials contained in the ores in Baotou are key materials required for the production of tanks and aircraft?" Director Yang couldn't sit still after hearing the situation introduced by Wu Aiguo, and quickly confirmed this to Wu Aiguo information.

Wu Aiguo heard Director Yang's inquiry and saw the excited expression on Director Yang's face. He shook his head subconsciously and replied: "Director Yang! I also heard what my comrades said about this matter. The specifics are I’m not sure whether it is.”

"As for why I guessed the source of the ore in the steel rolling mill, it was because these Japanese people were willing to use foreign exchange to buy our useless slag, which reminded me instinctively of what my comrade once said."

"Comrade Patriot! Where is your comrade now?" When Director Yang heard Wu Aiguo mention his comrade, he immediately realized that Wu Aiguo's comrade must know more about the situation, and he couldn't wait to wait. Di asked Wu Aiguo.
