Chapter 150: An Unexpectedly Big Reward
"There will be a certificate. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info" Du Xiaodi replied.
"That's it?" Feng Xiaochen said. At best, it is a large tea jar with the word "award" written on it, or a few towels, a hot water bottle, etc., and the rewards of this era are nothing more than that.
After 40 years, if it is such a national technician competition, it is not uncommon for the winner to get tens of thousands of yuan in prizes.
Without waiting for Feng Xiaochen to finish sighing, Du Xiaodi buried his head low and added: "Also, the top 20...... I was able to go to Japan to study for a year. ”
"Go to Japan to study for a year!" Feng Xiaochen was shocked, this is an unexpected big reward, it seems that the several ministries and commissions that organized this big competition are really a bit bold, and it can be regarded as a kind of reform thinking.
The early 80s were an era when China was learning the West in an all-round way, and the number of study delegations sent abroad by various regions and departments was innumerable. Among them, of course, it does not exclude a kind of psychology of curiosity and comparison, the investigation is just a pretense, going abroad to see, by the way to buy some foreign goods, may be the more important purpose of most of the inspection groups.
However, regardless of the motives, these delegations did objectively promote the process of learning from the West, and even some tidbits such as "going to Germany to investigate three or two things" opened a window to the world for Chinese people who had been closed for many years.
Several ministries and commissions jointly held a big competition for welders, and at the same time sent the top 20 winners to Japan to study for a year, which is definitely a big deal, which is of great help to improve the technical level of the national industrial industry. People who can enter the top 20 must have a solid technical foundation and excellent understanding, and they will be able to bring back advanced operating technology and industrial production concepts when they go to Japan for a year, and their impact is not only limited to the technology of electric welding, but will spill over to all production links.
If it is not only welders who do this, but other types of work do the same, then hundreds, if thousands, of skilled workers trained in the developed industrial countries return to their respective units, and they can become hundreds, if thousands, of the seeds of modern industry, which will take root and sprout into a dense forest.
"So, did you go to the capital for the opportunity to study in Japan?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Du Xiaodi's face was hotter than just now, and she whispered: "No, my master said, this is to win glory for the factory." However, it would be good if I could go to Japan to study, I heard that Japan's welding technology is much stronger than ours......
"There can be no doubt about that. Feng Xiaochen said, "The technology of the Japanese people did not fall from the sky, but learned from the entire Western world. Our country has been out of the world trend for too long, and we don't know a lot about foreign things. If you can go to Japan for a year, it should be an eye-opener. ”
"That's what I thought, too. Du Xiaodi's sense of embarrassment is a little less. She does have such a strong desire to have the opportunity to see what kind of height foreign welding technology has reached, but such a desire is not convenient to say publicly, otherwise it is easy to be criticized by others. Now that she has said it, she no longer hides it, but asks Feng Xiaochen curiously, "Director Feng, have you been to Japan?"
"Hmm......" Feng Xiaochen nodded instinctively, but then quickly shook his head. Of course, he had been to Niben in his previous life, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was even a Nibentong, but he really hadn't been there in this life. He replied in disguise: "I haven't been there, but because of my work, I have a lot of contact with the Japanese people." Just a few days ago, I had a fight with two Japanese people at the Pinghe Power Plant. ”
"Fighting?" The little girl's eyes widened, and she didn't care about being shy, she just stared at Feng Xiaochen, waiting for him to explain how there could be such a thing as fighting with foreign guests.
Feng Xiaochen smiled: "Of course it's not a fight, it's just a negotiation." ”
Then, he told Du Xiaodi about the Pinghe Power Plant, which inevitably had some boasting, in exchange for the little girl's overflowing autumn waves because of worship. After listening to what Feng Xiaochen said, Du Xiaodi echoed and said: "The Japanese people are really bad, my master hates the Japanese people very much, he said that the Japanese people don't have a good thing, and China should not be friendly with the Japanese people." ”
"This ......" Feng Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This is also a bit extreme. There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies among nations. Japan and China, as two powerful countries in Asia, cannot accommodate two tigers in one mountain, and there is certainly a conflict of interest between them. But for now, Japan and benzene want to seek a voice in the world, and China needs to introduce Japanese benzene technology to achieve its own modernization, so there is room for cooperation between the two countries. In recent years, we have introduced a lot of Japanese benzene equipment and technology, and some Japanese benzene experts have come to China to help China carry out modernization, and we should welcome and cooperate with this attitude.
Also, the state is the state and the individual is the individual. The country of Japanese benzene is worthy of our vigilance, but there are still many good people among the Japanese people. If you have the opportunity to study at Nippon, you may meet a lot of good Japanese Bon masters there, and they will sincerely teach you their skills, do you think they are good people or bad people?"
"If you can teach me technology sincerely, of course you are a good person. Du Xiaodi replied.
"That's right. If you have the opportunity to study, don't rebel because of ethnic hatred, which is contrary to the original intention of the country to send you out to study. Feng Xiaochen admonished like a leader. In his mind, Du Xiaodi's good skills should be very promising to get a place in the competition, and then he will be able to get the opportunity to study abroad. If you bring emotions with you to your studies, it's a shame that this opportunity is a shame.
"I see. Du Xiaodi nodded desperately and said, "Director Feng, don't worry, I won't live up to your expectations." ”
"Uh......" Feng Xiaochen was choked up all of a sudden, and said Okay, how did you change it to a report from the leader to the young workers?
Xiaodi,...... Actually, you don't have to talk to me like this, I'm not more than two years older than you, and you don't need to call me Director Feng, just call me by my name. Feng Xiaochen said hesitantly.
Du Xiaodi chuckled, turned his eyes to the dark field outside, and said as if to himself: "People don't know what your name is, how do you call it......
"Didn't I tell you?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was patronizing and dressing in a cow fork, and he hadn't even introduced himself. People just know what Director Feng is, what your name is, which unit you are the director of, and you don't know anything about your WeChat and mobile phone numbers.
Hey, when did I say I was going to tease this little girl? I'm still a pure boy who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, okay!
"My name is Feng Xiaochen, Feng is two points of water and a horse character, Xiao is a serious word next to the word mouth, Chen, it is the morning to remove a day word...... , I work in the Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission, and the phone number is 5431 of the 28th Bureau......" Feng Xiaochen said as if he was talking from the back.
"I can't remember so many ......," Du Xiaodi said with a stiff face, his eyes still looking out, but his lips were moving slightly. If you ask a lip expert to interpret it, you can read that she is reading a string of numbers: 28 rounds 5431.
The train moved at a constant speed in the dark, and at dawn it reached a major station, where the dispatcher guided the train into a fork in the road and stopped. Li Guoxing, Shang Jinglun and others jumped down from the sleeper car, trotted all the way to the clamp car, and saw Feng Xiaochen and Du Xiaodi unbuckle their seat belts and climb down from the clamp car with difficulty. Shang Jinglun and Li Guoxing strode forward to support Feng Xiaochen, while Du Xiaodi was supported by Quan Jiancai and Ou Guisheng.
Sitting on the cold steel structure, blowing the night breeze all night, Rao is Feng Xiaochen and Du Xiaodi are still young, and they already feel stiff at this time. Everyone helped them into the sleeper car and let them eat two bowls of hot noodle soup, and the two of them were relieved.
"It's not easy, it was cold in the car last night, you suffered!"
Li Guoxing looked at the faces of the two people who were blown dry by the wind, and said in a loud voice.
"It's okay, the night breeze is blowing, and it's pretty cool. Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.
"Alas, this is also young, if it were my age, I would be paralyzed. Li Guoxing sighed, and then he turned his head to Du Xiaodi and asked, "Master Du, you have been monitoring all the way, there is nothing wrong with the welding point, right?"
"No problem at all!" replied Du Xiaodi.
"Great, Master Li and Master Xiao Du's skills are really amazing!" Li Guoxing said.
Feng Xiaochen asked, "Director Li, how long are we going to stop here?"
Li Guoxing said: "It is estimated that it will stop for 12 hours. Just now, when you were eating noodles, I went to the stationmaster and called the department, and the department said that the expert in charge of flaw detection had already boarded the train, but it was estimated that it would be evening when I arrived here. Now that the line has been vacated, we don't have to rush anymore, just wait here to finish the flaw detection and make the next decision. ”
"Oh, that's ......" Du Xiaodi said half a sentence, quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and stopped talking.
Feng Xiaochen understood what Du Xiaodi meant, and he said: "Xiaodi is going to rush to the capital to participate in the welder competition, and the time for the competition is tomorrow." If we wait 12 hours before leaving, I'm afraid it'll be too late. ”
Li Guoxing waved his hand and said, "You don't have to wait any longer." The ministry has contacted the Suishan shipyard and asked them to send three experienced welders to rush over, and if they find a problem with the welding, they can deal with it. After the flaw detection is done, there is no longer a need for someone to guard the clamp beam. You both have worked hard, and when there will be a passing bus, you should hurry up and go back to the capital. (To be continued.) )
