Hearing the words "Banlanaizi", people who don't know the truth may think that Luo Bing is driving, but in fact, what Luo Bing said is a Polonais car.

Polonac was a Polish-made sedan, this car was a facelifted version of the Fiat 125, with four large round lights on the front face, and a fastback design on the outside, which was very fashionable for the time. According to its homonym, the folk are nicknamed "Ban Lanazi"

In the early 80s, when the political situation in Poland was chaotic and people's livelihood and economy were greatly affected, China imported a large number of Polonac cars through barter, but unfortunately the appearance of this car was not serious enough and was not suitable for use as an official car, so in the big cities, Polonac eventually became the original.

In a small city like Qinghe, Polonais is no problem as an official car, and it is also an imported car, which is much stronger than the BJ212 Jeep. The cars that are disliked in big cities are rushed to get in small cities.

In the future, the transport of new cars will definitely choose a special car transport heavy truck, 13.75 meters of trailer can transport six cars at a time, with a central axle of the model transport volume will be larger.

In the eighties, apparently, there were no such transport conditions, so the best way to transport was to send a driver over and drive the car back.

Fortunately, Qinghe is in the eastern region, and if it is in an inland province like Tibet, the run-in period will be past after picking up the new car.

......

Li Weidong and his entourage boarded the train to Jinmen.

The train speed in the 80s was relatively slow, and it took more than ten hours to take the train from Qinghe to Jinmen, so this time, Li Weidong took a hard sleeper.

It is difficult to buy a hard sleeper on a train, and basically it is only the leading cadres who are on a business trip to be eligible to sit on the hard sleeper. It is almost impossible to buy more than 30 hard sleeper tickets at one time.

But this is not a problem for the Qinghe Transport Company, the transport company and the railway station are brother units, and the business contacts between each other are very close, especially the freight departments of the two sides, and it can even be said that they are interdependent.

Although the volume of rail transport is large, it is limited by the rail line, and without the rail connection, even two adjacent cities cannot be transported by rail.

Road transport is much more flexible, as long as you can walk the car, things can be transported. Therefore, even if it is an iron boss, it needs a unit like a transportation company as a supplement to its capacity.

With the relationship between the transportation company and the railway, not to mention more than 30 sleeper tickets, even a few wagons can be obtained.

The hard sleeper is much more comfortable than the hard seat, Li Weidong played a few playing cards with several drivers, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and then arrived in Jinmen City.

After staying at the guest house, Luo Bing let others move freely, and he went to the local foreign trade department to handle the procedures for picking up the car.

Li Weidong followed a driver who was familiar with Jinmen and left the guest house and went to the lively place to take a stroll.

In the city of Jinmen in '85, in addition to the army of bicycles, there were buses with electric wires on their heads, which was a characteristic of big cities at that time.

In the prosperous area of Jinmen City, there is already a coin-operated telephone booth on the side of the road, which is still a new thing for the common people at that time, around Haihe Square, is an endless small building, in the theater of the ancient culture street, there are still people singing on stage at night, in the central park, the most famous blind date corner in the future, is pasting advertisements to promote late marriage and family planning.

There are a lot of people in the Quanye field at night, such as big brands such as Phoenix Confident Car, Huaqing Pond, Jinmen Daoxiangcun, etc., and they have their own neon advertisements, which add a vitality to the night.

As far as nightlife is concerned, a big city like Jinmen is indeed a small green river. It's a pity that although Li Weidong has the appearance of a seventeen-year-old, he is a middle-aged and elderly person, and he is not interested in the noisy nightlife, so he bought a bag of twist flowers, which is a gift for his foodie brother, and returned to the guest house.

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

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

"After a busy day's work, it turned out that it was past the meal, and the cook had rested, so I could only take a few bites of dry food. Luo Bing looked at his watch as he spoke, and asked, "On the contrary, it's you, why did you come back so early? Don't go out for a stroll? Jinmen is much more lively than ours." ”

"I wasn't interested, so I came back. Li Weidong said and took out the bag of twist flowers, put them in front of Luo Bing, and then said: "Captain Luo, I just bought some twist flowers, you can taste them, they are better than steamed buns and pickles." ”

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

Li Weidong picked up the thermos, poured himself a cup of tea, then sat down next to Luo Bing, and asked, "Captain Luo, this time I went to the Foreign Trade Bureau, it was quite smooth, right?"

"Don't mention it, it didn't work out, and we have to go back tomorrow. Luo Bing wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and then said: "The deputy director in charge of this matter is not here, I waited until they got off work, no one came back, without the signature of this deputy director, we can't take the car, I plan to go to the Foreign Trade Bureau early tomorrow morning to block him, if we can't block it again, we have to stay for another day." ”

Li Weidong thought for a while and asked, "Captain Luo, why don't I go with you tomorrow." Two people can at least swap out the toilet. It's easier to buy a meal. ”

Luo Bing nodded: "It's okay, then you can go with me, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning, there is a pancake fruit near here, it's very delicious, just take you to taste it." ”

......

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

When they arrived at the gate of the Foreign Trade Bureau, they had not yet reached work time, and the door was closed, so the two waited at the door, hoping to block the deputy director. When the Foreign Trade Bureau went to work, the two ran out of the Foreign Trade Bureau and waited.

However, until about nine o'clock in the morning, the deputy director still did not appear.

In desperation, Luo Bing had to find the director of the office and ask about the deputy director.

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

"This comrade, I'm really not embarrassing you, I really don't know when we will come back in the Zhou Bureau. The office director, surnamed Wang, replied.

"You are the director of the office, so you don't know the itinerary of the Zhou Bureau. I'll ask him to sign it, and I'll leave when I'm done. Just help me. Luo Bingyang begged.

Director Wang sighed helplessly: "Let me tell you the truth, Zhou Ju has been receiving an important foreign guest in the past two days, but in the process of receiving foreign guests, he has encountered some troubles. We've been working out this for the past two days. Things didn't work out, and I really don't know when he's going to 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 received by the Zhou Bureau this time is an automotive engineer from RB. In order to receive this foreign guest, we also specially found a Japanese teacher from Tianjin Gate University to translate for the foreign guests, who knew that this Japanese teacher had no problem coping with the conversations of daily life, but once it came to the professional vocabulary of the car, he was blind.

If you don't understand the professional vocabulary of automobiles, the investigation will not be carried out, and we can only find translators everywhere. In Tsumen, it's easy to find people who can speak Japanese, but when it comes to automobiles, you can't find a single technical word. Zhou Ju pondered, if he really couldn't find it, he went to the capital in person and asked the Ministry of Foreign Trade for help. ”

When Luo Bing heard this answer, his expression instantly turned into pickled cucumbers, and he said to himself: "It's one hundred and fifty kilometers from Jinmen to the capital, and it takes a day to run back and forth! If you add the time to find a translator, wouldn't it take two days?"

Luo Bing originally thought that this time he came to Jinmen to simply pick up the car and leave the next day. I didn't expect things to get so complicated.

At this moment, Li Weidong, who was next to him, stepped forward and asked, "Director Wang, can you find a Japanese translator who understands the professional vocabulary of automobiles, and you can call Zhou Ju back?"

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

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

"Team 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, "Okay, as long as you find a Japanese translator, I will immediately contact the Zhou Bureau and ask him to come back." ”

"No problem!" Li Weidong pointed to himself, and then said: "The translation you want is far away in the sky and close in front of you." ”

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

Li Weidong nodded: "I can speak some Japanese, especially the technical terms of automobiles, which is what I am best at." ”

Li Weidong has been an auto mechanic in RB for several years, and he is naturally familiar with the professional terminology of automobiles, and in this regard, ordinary RB people are not as good as Li Weidong.

Director Wang didn't believe Li Weidong, he opened his mouth and said, "This little comrade, you won't deliberately lie to me to let Zhou Ju come back, right?"

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

Director Wang looked at Li Weidong suspiciously, and then opened his mouth and instructed his subordinates: "Xiao Zhang, didn't our bureau receive a letter in Japanese the day before yesterday, bring it to this little comrade, and ask him to translate it." ”

Soon after, the clerk brought a letter in Japanese, and Li Weidong took the letter, read it halfway through, and then said, "In this case, I'll read it in Japanese first, and then translate it." ”

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

"I believe it! I believe it! Little comrade, you wait, I'll find someone right now and call Zhou Ju back. Director Wang said, and waved his hand to call his subordinates: "Xiao Zhang, hurry up and take these two comrades to the reception room, make tea, and melon seeds, candy or snacks, and prepare some, don't starve these two comrades!"

......

In the reception room, Li Weidong leaned on the spring sofa, leisurely sipping melon seeds and drinking tea.

Comrade Xiao Zhang in the office walked in with a plate of dim sum and said, "Two comrades, this is our special dim sum in Jinmen, you can try it." ”

"Thank you. Li Weidong thanked him, picked up a piece of dim sum very unceremoniously, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Luo Bing next to him looked like he was sitting on pins and needles, and the big spring sofa was low on Luo Bing's buttocks, like a pointed stone.

"Xiao Li, can you really translate Japanese? If you can't, I won't be able to hold back. Luo Bing whispered.

"Team Luo, you can rest assured, come, try this snack, it's crispy, crispy, and fragrant, we can't eat it there." Li Weidong said and handed a piece of dim sum to Luo Bing.

"How can I rest assured!" Luo Bing looked at the door, and then said, "Otherwise, let's run while the Zhou Bureau hasn't come back yet?"

"What are you running? Let's run, how can we pick up the car!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I'm always unsure. Luo Bing then asked, "Where did you learn Japanese? And you know the terminology of the automotive profession?

"Team Luo, don't forget, I'm from the auto repair workshop! The university teacher has never repaired a car, so he definitely doesn't understand the terminology of automobiles!"

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

......

In 85 years, there were no mobile phones in China, and even BP machines were a novelty, at least in Jinmen, there was no paging station.

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

I don't know how much effort it took Director Wang to find Deputy Director Zhou, who was away from home.

Li Weidong and Luo Bing waited for a long time, and the melon seed skins were piled up on a large table, and the deputy director Zhou finally appeared in front of them.

Deputy Director Zhou walked into the reception room, glanced at Li Weidong and Luo Bing, walked directly towards Luo Bing, grabbed Luo Bing's hand, and said, "This is the translation teacher, I'm Zhou Fulai, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"Well, that, Zhou Ju, I'm not a translator! Luo Bing looked embarrassed and pointed to Li Weidong next to him.

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

"Are you a translator?" Zhou Fulai asked with some hesitation.

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've been underestimated again!"
