"This is the No. 4 mining area, and it is also the earliest mining area developed in Honghedu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhen it was first liberated, it was still a small hillside, with only a few pits, you see, and now they have been dug more than 100 meters deep......"

"This railway branch line was built in 1957, and five comrades were sacrificed in order to build this railway. ”

"This concentrator is currently the largest copper concentrate concentrator in Asia, and it is all built with Japanese technology. ”

"This is an excavator imported from the United States......"

Zou Bingzheng commanded the jeep to parade around the mining area, introducing everything in the mining area to Feng Xiaochen as he walked. When he went to some important places, he would also stop the car and take Feng Xiaochen off to investigate on the spot. He really deserves to be the head of the Honghedu Copper Mine, and he knows everything about the mine well. Speaking of the process of developing the Honghedu Copper Mine in those years, he told it eloquently, and a few tears flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Feng Xiaochen could understand the old man's feelings, and he didn't know how to comment. On the first day, he said that the mining of Honghedu was overdrawing the wealth of his descendants, which was equivalent to a complete denial of the meaning of the existence of Honghedu. Now Zou Bingzheng is telling him bit by bit about the blood and sweat shed by his predecessors, and if he wants to say this again, he will inevitably blaspheme his predecessors.

"I have been in the revolution since I was a teenager, first against devils, then against reactionaries. After the liberation of Huxi Province, the organization asked me to come to Honghedu to resume the production of Honghedu copper mine, and from then until now, I have only done one thing, and that is mining. ”

Standing on the top of the hill outside the mine, looking at the mining vehicles shuttling back and forth, Zou Bingzheng said slowly.

"You're an old qualification. Feng Xiaochen complimented.

Zou Bingzheng did not pick up the stubble, and continued to immerse himself in his memories: "At that time, the country said that we needed ore, so we worked overtime, blood and sweat to produce more ore. At the end of the 50s, when the Soviet Union forced us to pay debts, our country had no foreign exchange and could only use ore to repay its debts.

In the past two years, the country has carried out reform and opening up, all walks of life have to import equipment, and rural areas also need to import chemical fertilizers, and the state has asked us to increase output and earn foreign exchange through exports. Under all kinds of pressure, I fought for equipment and investment, with the aim of expanding production capacity as soon as possible and building Honghedu into China's largest copper base. You say, 'I'm doing all these things wrong?'

"This ...... Absolutely. Feng Xiaochen was a little speechless, he couldn't say that Zou Bingzheng shouldn't listen to the country's arrangement, right?

Zou Bingzheng said: "I am 65 years old this year. Last year, I had already applied to my superiors for permission to leave my leave. But the organization disagreed, saying that it wanted me to hold on to Honghedu for a while and wait for the current expansion plan to be completed before leaving. Seriously, I am reluctant to leave this position, and I want to be able to contribute more to the country. ”

This kind of words, if they were said by another person's mouth, Feng Xiaochen might think that it was just some empty clichés, but from Zou Bingzheng's mouth, Feng Xiaochen knew that this was what he said in his heart. Zou Bingzheng's personality is well known, and he has not sought personal interests for himself in crossing the Red River for so many years, and it can indeed be said that he has devoted himself to mine construction. He has passed the age of retirement and can go to enjoy Qingfu, but he is still working hard here, and even does not hesitate to fight with the higher authorities in order to ensure the increase of production in the mine.

Zou Bingzheng rejected Luo Ye's dump truck, as he said, because he was worried that the quality of the domestic dump truck could not be guaranteed and would affect the normal production of the mine. From his position as director of mines, there is nothing wrong with doing so. His mistake was simply that he did not think about this issue from a higher position and did not see the overall arrangement of the country.

"Director Zou, I can completely understand your feelings. However, I would like to ask you to think carefully about what I said yesterday. Our country cannot always rely on selling ore to develop, this is only a temporary expedient measure, and manufacturing is the foundation of our ultimate country. Feng Xiaochen said.

Zou Bingzheng nodded and said, "What you said yesterday is indeed deafening. You were drunk, and I asked the bears to take you to the guest house, and I came home by myself, and I didn't close my eyes all night. ”

"This ...... I'm really sorry. Feng Xiaochen said in a low voice.

Zou Bingzheng waved his hand and said, "I'm not sorry, you're right." I've been mining all my life, and I only have mining in my head. In my opinion, mining more is to contribute to the country, but what mining is for, we don't think much about it.

The expansion of the Honghedu Copper Mine uses imported equipment, from excavators, to transport vehicles, to mineral processing equipment. The production capacity is increased, and most of the ore mined after the production capacity is increased will be used to repay the equipment payment. As a result, we worked hard for most of the year, all for little Japan. We've muttered about it in the past, but we don't know what to do. After listening to your words yesterday, it dawned on me that we really can't go on like this, and we should build our own equipment. Our own copper mine should be for our own service, how can we cheapen foreigners?"

"Mine Chief Zou is right to think so. Feng Xiaochen said with relief, "This is why we are pushing Luo Ye's dump truck in the Heavy Equipment Office." We have used the method of exchanging the market for technology, and introduced the technology of Haifei, for which we have paid a lot of foreign exchange. When we have mastered all these technologies, then our mines will no longer need to import dump trucks, but can use our own dump trucks, and then we will not need to export ore in exchange for foreign exchange. In addition, our dump trucks can also be exported abroad to exchange other people's minerals, what a wonderful thing. ”

"You've been to Luo Ye, do you think they have any hope of doing that?" Zou Bingzheng asked.

Feng Xiaochen nodded affirmatively and said, "I think they have hope of doing it." Director Zou, you have to believe that the enthusiasm of our generation will not be inferior to yours. What you were able to do in the difficult conditions of the '50s, we should be able to do even more so in today's good environment. A few days ago, I was in contact with the workers and technicians of Luoye, and they were all holding back their strength, hoping to master the imported technology in the shortest possible time. They have worked no less than you. ”

"It seems that I should also go to Luo Ye to take a walk and see what they are doing. Zou Bingzheng said.

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "If Director Zou wants to go to Luo Ye, I think Luo Ye will definitely welcome him." In addition to Luo Ye, Director Zou can also go to Linbei Heavy Machinery and Qinzhou Heavy Machinery to see these factories, they, like Luo Ye, have introduced technology from abroad, and the goal is to achieve import substitution. We used to be busy with sports and lost a lot of time, but now we start to make up for it, although it is difficult, but it is still too late. ”

Zou Bingzheng said: "Last time your Director Leng came, he also said something similar to me, but I don't believe it yet. This time, I saw such a spirit in you, and I began to believe that you can accomplish something. ”

"Uh, am I anything special?" Feng Xiaochen asked in surprise, he thought about it, as if he had said something grandiose.

Zou Bingzheng glared at him and said, "What did you say last night, and you forgot everything? You are a young man, in order to persuade me to accept Luo Ye's dump truck, you dare to point at my nose and scold me for being shameless." I don't think you would be unaware of the consequences of doing so, but you did it anyway. Just because of your guts, I know that you are a person who really wants to do things. ”

Feng Xiaochen smiled embarrassedly: "Director Zou, I was also in a hurry, so I made this decision, you are an elder, but don't worry about me." ”

Zou Bingzheng pointed to the mine below and said, "If I want to deal with you, I will send you to the mine, as long as I say hello, see if those miners will beat you flat." ”

"It seems that I still have to thank Director Zou for not killing him. Feng Xiaochen joked. He can already feel Zou Bingzheng's kindness to him, and it is obvious that Lao Zou now regards him as a year-old friend, and if he can say something heart-wrenching to him, he can joke with Lao Zou.

"It's not easy, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, just like when I was younger. With such energy, there is nothing bad to do. Zou Bingzheng said in the tone of an elder.

"So, Director Zou has already decided to accept Luo Ye's dump truck?" Feng Xiaochen led the conversation back to the topic. Talking to Zou Bingzheng to this extent, it should be possible to implement this matter.

Zou Bingzheng nodded and said: "This morning, I and several leaders carefully analyzed the plan proposed by Luo Ye, and believed that their plan was sincere, and at the same time, there was also a set of effective methods for the quality assurance of dump trucks. In order to support the development of our country's own dump trucks, we Honghedu are willing to be this crab eater. ”

"Then thank you so much to Director Zou and the leaders of the Honghedu Mining Bureau. Feng Xiaochen said sincerely, "Don't worry, our Heavy Equipment Office will also urge Luo Ye to do a good job in quality control and try not to cause you trouble." ”

Zou Bingzheng said: "It's not troublesome, we are already mentally prepared." We have thought about it and are ready to come up with a sum of money to cooperate with Luo Ye to establish a research center in Honghedu to jointly improve dump trucks. In the future, we will also absorb these factories of Linbei Heavy Machinery to develop our own mining machinery in China.

As you said, sooner or later, the copper mine in Honghedu will be dug up, and I hope that before the ore is finished, we will be able to have the ability to manufacture equipment, and then we will no longer need to rely on mining to contribute to the country, and we will be able to export our own equipment to exchange for foreign ore. ”

"Great!" Feng Xiaochen clapped his hands and praised, "When I was in Luoye, the people on their side also put forward this idea, saying that they hoped to work with the mine to develop equipment, so that they could do better directly to the practice department." Director Zou has such an idea, and they really can't ask for it. ”
