Decades later, on the Spring Festival evening, Song Dandan once performed a classic line in the northeastern dialect: "The spring breeze of reform blows into the door, and the Chinese people shake their spirits." ”

At the beginning of 1980, there was indeed a new atmosphere everywhere in the land of China. Coca-Cola, the legendary "sweet Chinese medicine with bubbles" of foreign brand beverages, has entered China. In many state-run restaurants and Western restaurants, you can see this kind of drink in small glass bottles. And Beijing's capital airport has also been able to see Panasonic's large advertisements.

Various provinces have begun a wave of foreign investment in full swing, and Zhao Yuemin also received news that the director of the provincial industrial department will accompany Japanese businessmen to the oil fields for inspection.

At this time, Su Guoliang happened to have a meeting in Beijing, he greeted Zhao Yuemin, and specially explained that this time, the tasks brought by the Provincial Department of Industry should be met by our Jiangbei Oilfield as much as possible. In recent years, the province has given great support to the oilfield, not only transferring the Dujiang County People's Hospital to the oilfield, but also relocating its second machinery factory to the oilfield as a whole and turning it into a mechanic factory in the oilfield.

Two days later, Director Liu's special car from the province drove to Shaohu Town, and Zhao Yuemin was in charge of the reception.

Director Liu of the Provincial Department of Industry is not a stranger, he shook Zhao Yuemin's hand magnificently: "Comrade Yuemin, this time I came to your place again to eat." ”

"Director Liu, what's the matter?"

"Well, two years ago, Premier Kodaira visited the Mitsubishi factory in Japan, and when he came back, he was very moved and called on our state-owned enterprises to learn from the advanced technology of the Japanese factory. Now, the central government has called on local governments to strengthen foreign cooperation, and we in Jiangbei Province cannot drop the chain. Director Liu said.

Zhao Yuemin turned his head to look at the Japanese businessman next to Director Liu, who was not tall, wearing a delicately cut slim suit, his hair was meticulously combed, his leather shoes were shiny, and his small eyes were shrewd.

"Director Zhao, hello." The short Japanese businessman spoke standard Chinese, "I am Tokugawa Shoichi, the China representative of the Japan Petroleum Corporation, and I will take care of you when we meet for the first time." ”

Tokugawa Shoichi immediately gave Zhao Yuemin a ninety-degree bow.

Zhao Yuemin was stunned, what kind of etiquette is this?

Director Liu smiled beside him: "Foreign friends, you are still very polite. Xiao Zhao, you have to adapt. ”

Zhao Yuemin nodded, he suddenly felt that this Japanese oil company was a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this oil company was the company that had previously promoted diamond drill bits to Shengli Oilfield and quickly copied its own technology.

It is a blessing or a curse for the province to introduce such enterprise investment, and Zhao Yuemin still has reservations.

For foreign guests, Jiangbei Oilfield will receive the highest standard, and the best box on the first floor of the Friendship Hotel will be vacated for a few people to dine. Tokugawa Shoichi's hotel is also the best suite in the oil field hotel, and there is a Japanese interpreter dedicated to it.

At the banquet, Director Liu raised his glass and delivered a welcome speech, the main meaning of which was to welcome Japanese companies to invest and set up factories in China, bring advanced technology, improve the domestic level, and by the way, partially solve the employment problem in Jiangbei Province.

Zhao Yuemin stared at Tokugawa repeatedly, feeling extremely curious. His previous impression of the Japanese was that he learned from several movies in "Tunnel War", holding a saber with a small mustache between his lips and shouting "Die, Die, Die" or "Eight Ga Ya Road".

And this Tokugawa Shoichi is obviously different from Zhao Yuemin's thoughts. Tokugawa Shoichi has a respectful demeanor, elegant manners, a smile on his face, and a harmless appearance of humans and animals.

"Director Liu, Director Zhao. I see what you mean. Tokugawa raised his glass and said, "We are one of the top three energy companies in the world, and we also hope to invest in China for win-win cooperation." However, in order to convince the board of directors, we hope to be able to sell our star product - rotary drilling rig this time, I wonder if Director Liu and Director Zhao can appreciate it? ”

Tokugawa Shoichi made it clear that if you want us to invest in China, you have to buy some of our products first.

Director Liu glanced at Zhao Yuemin and said in a low voice: "How is the Nissan rotary drilling rig compared to our Daqing 130 drilling rig?" ”

"The performance is more stable, and the volume is lighter." Zhao Yuemin answered honestly.

Rotary drilling rig was first developed in the United States before World War II, after World War II, it was developed in Europe, in 1948, Italy Maite company first began to develop, and then Italy, Germany began to develop, and in the 70s ~ 80s in Japan to get rapid development, when Japan called it rotary bucket pile, also called Asterli method.

Compared with the heavy and single function of the Daqing 130 drilling rig, the rotary drilling rig generally adopts hydraulic crawler telescopic chassis, self-lifting and folding drill mast, telescopic drill pipe, with vertical automatic detection and adjustment, hole depth digital display, etc., the whole machine generally adopts hydraulic pilot control, load sensing, with light operation, comfortable and other characteristics. The main and auxiliary winches can be applied to the needs of various situations on the construction site.

Zhao Yuemin knows that the world's first-class energy companies are currently using this type of machinery. However, Zhao Yuemin has been the leader of the drilling team, and he also understands that a batch of 130 drilling rigs has just entered the oilfield, and it is okay to use it. Replacing it in a short period of time and depreciating and scrapping the 130 drilling rig may cause great losses.

"Nature, nature." Director Liu listened to Zhao Yuemin's words, turned his head to look at Tokugawa and said, "Since we want you to invest in setting up a factory, we naturally have to show sincerity." Your rotary drilling rigs are world-renowned and reliable. We in Jiangbei Oilfield, we can purchase your three drilling rigs as trial ......," Director Liu finished speaking, and winked at Zhao Yuemin.

Director Liu also understands that if all the 130 drilling rigs are replaced in a short period of time, the family of Jiangbei Oilfield will be wiped out, so buy a few drilling rigs and let Tokugawa Zheng go back to make a difference.

Tokugawa Shoichi suddenly let out a long sigh, and a sense of pressure appeared on his face: "Director Liu, to tell you the truth, I came out this time with the task of selling 60 drilling rigs. If it can't be done, let alone help you invest, I won't be able to keep my own position. ”

"60 units?" Director Liu and Zhao Yuemin were stunned. A rotary drilling rig costs millions, and 60 units are hundreds of millions, not to mention the small oilfield of Jiangbei Oilfield, and the Daqing Oilfield will take out so much money at once, and it will also be greatly damaged.

"This ...... It's difficult, I'm afraid, isn't it? Comrade Yuemin? Director Liu asked.

"Yes, our Jiangbei Oilfield can't buy so many units at once." Zhao Yuemin spread his hands and said.

"Hey, I'm going to be done then." "Originally, I promised the board of directors that after selling 60 drilling rigs, they would set up a joint venture in Nanjing to set up a large machine factory with 5,000 employees. ”

"A large machine shop with 5,000 people?" Director Liu was very moved when he heard this.

"However, now that the mission is not completed, I will be dismissed when I go back." Tokugawa Shoichi also ignored his previous decent image, ripped off his tie, and cried with the strength of alcohol, "I love Chinese culture very much, and I want to invest in China, but ah, ......"

Director Liu was extremely embarrassed, he was ordered to receive foreign guests this time, and as a result, the foreign guests cried at the banquet, what is this? This is not a good landlord's friendship.

"Mr. Tokugawa Shoichi, look at it, our Jiangbei Oilfield is also a small oilfield, and 60 units are estimated to be not good. You reduce the number again, and I will discuss it with the comrades in the oil fields. Director Liu persuaded.

"Hi one......" Tokugawa Shoichi replied in Japanese, and then he said with a handful of snot and tears, "I want to ask my superiors, please let me call." ”

"Okay, okay, that's nature."

As soon as Tokugawa was turning to leave, Zhao Yuemin suddenly grabbed the Japanese translator who was doing nothing on the side, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Chen, you follow him and listen to the content of his call." Be careful, don't be spotted by him. ”

The young Japanese translator immediately nodded and quietly followed behind Tokugawa Shoichi......
