Mo Daojun walked early, and there were even more early pedestrians.

Hong Kong is under the jurisdiction of the British government, and the Tiangong smelter suddenly broke out with such a violent news, and the British people naturally reacted one step faster than other countries.

However, Pratt, a project engineer at EDF, who has been engaged in the technical transformation of the aluminum smelting blast furnace at the Tiangong smelter, is the first foreign expert to find Yang Weiping's dialogue after Yang Weiping publicly broke the news.

It was the morning of the second day after Ming Pao made a public report.

Pratt got up early in the morning, and after suddenly receiving a call from the head office, he realized that the smelter where he was located had actually taken a shit luck and accidentally found a second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy with extremely stable comprehensive performance.

As an engineer in EDF's aluminium smelting, Pratt is certainly no stranger to aluminum-lithium alloys. He couldn't figure out how the French had not made a breakthrough in the second generation of aluminum-lithium alloys, how could this smelter of such a dilapidated Asian suddenly come out?

"Yang is certainly God's favorite. Pratt whispered to himself as he trotted towards the office building of the Tiangong Smelter.

"I'm sorry, sir, you can't go in!" Pratt was about three meters away from the office building's main door when he was politely stopped by one of the four security guards guarding the door.

"I'm Pratt, a French engineer, don't you know me?" Pratt asked aloud in his stiff Hong Kong dialect with widening eyes in frustration.

Previously, because of his work, Pratt often came to the office building to discuss engineering matters with Yang Weiping, and he was never stopped by the security guards.

"The boss has an explanation, this is an extraordinary time, anyone who wants to see the boss must be notified in advance!" The young security guard stretched out his right hand without humility or arrogance, raised his palm, and blocked Pratt at the door.

"Then please report to me immediately, I must see Yang immediately! If you delay the big thing, you will wait to be fired by your boss!" Pratt roared almost like a roar, saliva splashing.

At this time, Qiu Fang, who was wearing a black training uniform, turned around from the staircase in front of the lobby of the office building, heard the shouting at the gate, and immediately quickened her pace and hurriedly walked.

This black training uniform is the style of the combat uniform of the special forces in later generations according to Yang Weiping's memory, and he found a local garment processing factory to order a batch.

Of course, the fabric used as a training uniform is not comparable to the real special operations uniform, but it is eighty percent similar in style and style. Considering that the current security team should not be too unusual, Yang Weiping just asked the company's sixteen high-level executives to change their clothes to distinguish them from the dark gray security uniforms of ordinary team members.

The loose training uniform did not completely cover the moving curves of Qiu Fang's slender and graceful body, but added a bit of sassy and heroic posture.

"What's the matter?" Qiu Fang could speak a few words fluently in Hong Kong, and asked indifferently with a cold face. It's just that there was a hint of panic in those cold eyes that were not very confident, and the look was fleeting.

"Report to Mr. Qiu, Mr. Pratt wants to see the boss. The young security guard who stopped Pratt turned to Qiu Fang and saluted, and replied loudly: "I am the security guard of the fifth squad of the second squadron, and I am performing the security work of the office building. ”

The silent answer was quick and urgent, and Qiu Fang understood "Mr. Pratt" and the last sentence of "Please give instructions to Mr. Qiu".

Qiu Fang nodded expressionlessly, and turned her face to Pratt, who was full of anxiety, and glanced coldly at it.

Qiu Fang still knows the truth about this foreign devil. I used to see Yang Weiping stay with him on the construction site for most of the day.

"Mrs. Yang, I have a very, very urgent matter that I need to see Yang immediately, please be sure to help accommodate me. Pratt obviously knew Qiu Fang as well, and had always regarded her as Yang Weiping's woman. …,

A "Mrs. Yang" made Qiu Fang stunned when she heard it.

In the Tiangong Smelter, from the high-level personnel such as Xiang Rong and Tu Zhijun, to the cleaners who sweep the garbage, and even the construction workers of those construction companies, they all know that Lu Dao Qiufang is the boss's woman, and no one dares to have bad thoughts about her.

In the past few months, others have called her "Section Chief Qiu", "Manager Qiu", "MADON" and "President Qiu", but no one has called "Mrs. Yang" in front of her.

"Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang ......" Pratt was a little stunned when he saw Qiu Fang standing there, and couldn't help but shout a few more times.

Qiu Fang's eyes flashed with obvious panic and shyness, and she quickly turned her face to care, so as not to be discovered.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the boss. Qiu Fang turned around and hurried into the lobby with her head down, the three words "Mrs. Yang" made her forget what she was going to do.

Pratt glared at Shen Shen triumphantly, strode closely behind Mrs. Yang, and thanked her as he walked: "Mrs. Yang, thank you so much, if it weren't for you going downstairs, those damn security guards at the door would definitely delay my big business." If I don't see Yang for the first time today, my boss will definitely think that I am derelict in my job, and if I lose this job, my wife and daughter in Marseille will have to face the dilemma of losing their lives. So, Mrs. Yang, you have done me a great favor, thank you so much!"

Pratt's Mandarin is more slippery than Hong Kong, he knows that Mrs. Yang can't understand Hong Kong, when he used to chat with Yang Weiping, Yang Wei usually mentioned Qiu Fang to him, and it is precisely because of this that he has always regarded Qiu Fang as Yang Weiping's wife.

Qiu Fang didn't feel impatient with Pratt's nagging along the way, especially when she heard Pratt talk about his wife and daughter, Qiu Fang felt a wave of heart touch for no reason.

It is a blessing for a woman with children to have a caring man to shelter them from the wind and rain.

……

In the factory director's office, Yang Weiping sat behind his desk with that unfathomable smile on his face, quietly looking at Pratt standing in front of the desk.

After Qiu Fang brought Pratt in, she was going to leave, but was stopped by Yang Weiping.

Regarding Yang Weiping's words, except for the fact that he wanted her to marry him, Qiu Fang obeyed her words and never objected to other big and small things.

"Yang, have you really developed a new aluminum-lithium alloy?" Pratt asked as he looked at Yang Weiping with a very serious look.

"Ming Pao in Hong Kong has always been known for its impartiality and seeking truth from facts. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "Mr. Pratt, do you think it is possible for them to accompany me to make such a big international joke?"

"Yang, can I have the honor to see your experimental report?" Pratt made a very solemn request: "If this alloy is really as recorded in the newspapers, Yang, I will be very honored to be the plenipotentiary of our company, and I will discuss with you the agency of Y1976 alloy in Europe." ”

Yang Weiping did not answer, but took out an experiment report from the drawer and handed it to Pratt casually.

Pratt almost grabbed it, quickly stretched out his hands to grab the report in his hand, and didn't bother to sit down, just stood there and looked through it carefully.

"My God, Yang, you are such a genius, how did you come up with the idea of alloying with Cu and Mg?" Pratt exclaimed after a while: "God, this is incredible, such a metallographic structure is simply perfect! This is definitely the greatest discovery in the metallurgical industry today!"

Yang, if all the above data are true, the Y1976 alloy you found is not only low density, high die height, good strength-toughness balance, but also excellent injury resistance, low anisotropy, good thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and good processing formability! Compared with your alloy, the 2020 alloy launched by Alcoa in the United States is simply rubbish!

"Hehe, Pratt, I'm a second-generation aluminum-lithium alloy, of course, a few streets stronger than the first-generation one. Yang Weiping smiled calmly: "We are all engaged in smelting, and I believe you know better than me the value of this alloy in business and military." Dear Mr. Pratt, I wonder what kind of conditions your company can offer? You must know that the Americans, the Soviets, the British, the Germans, and the Japanese must be on their way to our Tiangong smelter now. ”

"Yang, we are friends, and I have been helping you improve your skills in your smelter. Pratt put the experimental report in his hand on the table, and said with a sly smile: "The old anode furnace in your factory, if I didn't help you upgrade your technique, I don't believe you would have had the opportunity to research your Y1976 alloy, so, Yang, in the words of you Huaxia people, you have to give me a little face, right?"

"Pratt, I paid for this technical renovation project you undertook. Yang Weiping smiled quietly: "When your company made a bid, you didn't give me a little face. I am a businessman, and it is my essence to pursue the maximization of profits. So, Mr. Pratt, if you want to negotiate formally with me, I'm welcome, and if you want to make friends with me, how about I invite you to Central for a French dinner at noon today?"

"No, no, no, we can go to the feast at any time, and I invited you. Pratt shook his head again and again and said: "Yang, I hope that our company can get the full authorization of Y1976 alloy in Europe, you can offer it now!"

"My Y1976 alloy will completely replace the first generation of aluminum-lithium alloy, which is widely used in civil airliners, military fighters, launch vehicles, space shuttles, missiles, satellites and other high-tech fields. Of course, Yang Weiping would not directly offer the price, took out a box of Jianpai cigarettes, lit one by himself, and said while sucking: "This is a major breakthrough in the research of aerospace materials in the world today, and its value is immeasurable, let alone measurable by money."

Mr. Pratt, I believe you should know that with Hong Kong's geographical location and resource environment, it is not suitable for industrial large-scale mass production of aluminum-lithium alloys. Therefore, no matter which country or company I negotiate with for the transfer and authorization of Y1976 alloy, the first condition is to help me solve the site selection of a large smelter and all its complete sets of smelting, forging and machining equipment!"
