Under Bai Weiren's arrangement, Liu Lang and Xiong Huaizhi and the directors of more than a dozen manufacturing plants and machine tool factories in Shanghai came to the Shanghai headquarters of Volkswagen again in a bus under the leadership of Dong Mingwu, director of the Shanghai Machinery Bureau.

Along the way, Liu Lang became the focus, and those factory directors in their fifties and sixties looked at Liu Lang as if they were giant pandas.

"Old Xiong! You have stepped into the coffin board, and it is really not a loss to find Liu Lang, a student!"

An old factory director in his sixties is an old friend of Xiong Huaizhi, jokingly.

"I can't teach Liu Lang this skill, I'm just very glad that Liu Lang can do our job, with him, there is hope for our country's future industry!"

Xiong Huaizhi said with a smile.

"I said, little one, how old are you?"

An old factory looked at Liu Lang and asked.

"Grandpa, I'm five years old this year!"

Liu Lang replied.

"Oh, five-year-old, well, tall and strong, about the same height as my eight-year-old grandson, yes, a material for manual work!"

"Lao Hao, Liu Lang is a genius, there are few geniuses in history, shouldn't the country be a baby? People eat better things than you and me......... Liu Lang, you are a bit condescending to learn machinery, there is a saying in our industry, called the lack of great virtue in the previous life, and only engage in machinery in this life......... If you don't believe it, ask these old guys, every year some people are exhausted to death, you are still young, hurry up and find an easy job to do!"

An old factory director said "earnestly".

"Hahaha, my grandson, you guy is always so talkative, don't bring us all with you because you lacked virtue in your last life!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Sun Fu, you guy get out of the way, what's wrong with machinery? I'm also engaged in machinery, what's wrong? I also lacked virtue in my last life? I don't think it's your lack of virtue in your last life, it's your lack of virtue in this life!"

Xiong Huaizhi's face sank and he reprimanded.

The people present are the directors of well-known manufacturing factories in Shanghai, and the old people who are a little famous in the country basically know Xiong Huaizhi, and even many people have been trained by Xiong Huaizhi thirty years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are half an apprentice, so don't look at Xiong Huaizhi is now just a dean of Huaxia University, and the administrative level may not be as high as the director of some large factories, but no one dares to stand in front of Xiong Lao, and even some leaders of the Ministry of National Machinery have to call Xiong Huaizhi a teacher when they see Xiong Huaizhi.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xiong, you are always a special case, your brothers and sisters are all rich people in Nanyang, but you are a teacher at Huaxia University, if I were you, I would have gone abroad to enjoy Qingfu a long time ago!"

Xiong Huaizhi's ancestors are famous Chinese billionaires in Nanyang, operating a shipping business, at the peak of the Xiong family owned dozens of large ships, in the war years a few decades ago at the expense of their own money to transport materials for the country, and then Nanyang was occupied by the islanders, the family also declined, but their foundation is still there, after decades of development and a comeback, now in Nanyang is also a number of rich people, the family has also written many times to let Xiong Huaizhi go back to enjoy the happiness, but Xiong Huaizhi has never had the idea of leaving the motherland, his wife and children are in the country, the most reluctant is that he can not let go of the country's manufacturing industry。

Not going abroad to enjoy happiness and suffering at home was still a commendable thing more than ten years ago, but after the reform and opening up, I don't know how many people want to go abroad, Xiong Huaizhi's behavior is a fool's behavior.

"Sun Fu, your stinky mouth has started to nag again? At such an old age, can you save some snacks? If it had been more than ten years ago, I would have been arrested for counter-revolutionary crimes, believe it or not?"

Dong Mingwu, director of the Shanghai Machinery Bureau, who was sitting on the side, shouted.

"Okay! Director Dong, you are a big official, I don't dare to mess with you, I shut up, I shut up!"

Sun Fu obediently sat aside.

"Liu Lang, don't listen to that old man's nonsense, this guy always talks cool things, I'll clean him up when I have the chance!"

Dong Mingwu looked at Liu Lang and said with a smile.

Liu Lang smiled and said nothing.

This Sun Fu is not talking nonsense, people engaged in machinery manufacturing are indeed the most tired type of work in the industry, the salary was not bad a few years ago, but in the past two years due to rising prices, their wages have not increased much, it seems a little cramped, the work is tired and easy to get sick, the salary is not high, plus these people do not have much culture, so they are full of complaints when chatting, but this Sun Fu is more daring to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me say a few words!"

Liu Lang suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the aisle.

"I know, we are very tired of machinery, dealing with machine tools and steel every day, tinnitus and dizziness are common, generally in their forties, they are full of gray hair, everyone here is in good health, at least they can get on and off the car, but more people are afraid that they are already lying in bed and can't get up from the kang!"

"Liu Lang, you're right! In the past few years, I have several old friends who have seen Lao Ma, and some of them are not as old as me!"

Sun Fu answered.

"Master Sun, I understand what you just said, I just feel that it is too tiring to do our job, the salary is not high, even the iron people can't stand it for decades, I understand you very well, so a few days ago, I told the leaders above about these things, let them improve the treatment of our industrial workers, I believe the state will soon implement it. ”

Liu Lang said first.

"What? You asked the state to give us a wage increase?"

Everyone is interested, and the salary problem is a big problem!

"That's right, you can wait and see!"

Liu Lang knows that the state is indeed starting to improve the treatment of industrial workers, and in addition, it will implement a professional title evaluation system, and these two measures will be implemented nationwide by the end of the year at the latest.

"Are you telling the truth?"

An old factory director said.

"Of course it's true, I never tell nonsense!"

Liu Lang nodded.

"It's really tiring to engage in machinery, and I admit it, anyway, I can't do a lot of work now, and some parts are heavier than mine, and I can't move them if I want to, but why do I still want to learn machinery? It is because machinery manufacturing is the foundation of our country, why are Americans and island people so rich? Isn't it because they have advanced automobiles, airplanes, and ships? Industry is strong, so they can make more goods to sell to others, and without industrial manufacturing, they can't even get a hair out of ..........

Therefore, Master Sun, what did you just say that you lacked great virtue in your previous life to engage in machinery in this life, I don't agree with it at all, just like this Volkswagen, people buy more than 300,000 yuan for a car, and you have to buy it if you are too expensive, because you can't build it yourself, this is the gap! We have to learn! We can't just stand aside and gossip stupidly! If you gossip on the sidelines, people will laugh at us for being fools......... If you can't even make a single part, isn't you a fool?"

"Machinery manufacturing is the country's important weapon, is the foundation of the country, but also the foundation of a strong country, some people do not want to do, but I am a child is willing to put his life's career into this!"

Liu Lang's childish voice was immature, but there was firmness and confidence in his tone, and everyone present was moved by him.

Liu Lang's words made Sun Fu embarrassed, and wanted to refute, but there was no reason, he didn't know the importance of machinery manufacturing to the country? Of course he knew, but he just felt that the country was too poor now, and it couldn't be compared with foreign countries.

"Liu Lang, what you said is so good, do you see? Every child in the family knows that it is for the country and the people, Sun Fu, you old man has lived to the belly of a dog every year?

Dong Mingwu pointed at Sun Fu and shouted.

Sun Fu sat there silently, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Liu Lang's words made the car silent, everyone sat there thinking about their own thoughts, some were thinking about Liu Lang's words, but more people were still concerned about what Liu Lang said about the country to give them better treatment.

Most people are thinking: if the wages can go up, it will be worth the hard work!
