Jiang Wuyuan, director of the technical department of the North Petroleum Machinery Factory, came out of the office building dejectedly and walked listlessly to the experimental building where the technical department was located. In his hand, he held a thin document, the title of which was "Report on the Request for Instructions on the Experiment with 1,000 Cubic Meters of Cryogenic Steel in a Large Ethylene Spherical Tank". At the head of this request report, there is also a factory director's instructions: due to financial difficulties, the allocation will not be considered for the time being.

Walking into the director's office, technician Xu Minxia greeted him and greeted Jiang Wuyuan: "Director Jiang, are you back?" ”

"I'm back." Jiang Wuyuan said tiredly, he walked to his desk and sat down, and threw the report on the table.

Xu Minxia carried a hot water bottle and poured some water into the cup for Jiang Wuyuan, and then asked; "Director Jiang, has the factory director approved our application?"

Jiang Wuyuan shook his head and said; "The factory said that it is difficult to fund now and does not consider it."

"We only need 1 million, and there is no money in the factory?" Xu Minxia said dissatisfied. She was a college student who had just been assigned to work in the factory last year, and because of her intelligence and solid technical skills, she was transferred by Jiang Wuyuan to her side as an assistant. This request report came from her.

Jiang Wuyuan sighed and said, "Alas, in fact, this is also expected. Low-temperature steel is a bottomless pit, and the 1 million thrown into it may not be able to hear a sound, and it is normal for the factory to have no confidence. ”

"But we'll have to try, right? If we don't want to spend money every time, when will we be able to make our own steel? Xu Minxia muttered.

Jiang Wuyuan smiled reluctantly and said, "Xiao Xu, you are still young and don't understand the things in this. Forget it, since there is no funding, let's not do experiments yet, let's start with the analysis of the literature. The factory approved 50,000 yuan and agreed to let us buy some foreign materials. ”

"How much information can I buy for 50,000 yuan?" Xu Minxia said disdainfully. The price of foreign materials is very expensive, the 50,000 yuan into US dollars, that is, 10,000 nods, subscribe to a few foreign chemical, materials, welding and other journals, and buy a few professional books, basically the bottom. As for buying a professional research report, you don't have to think about it.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Jiang Wuyuan interrupted Xu Minxia's complaint and asked her, "Did anyone come to me this morning?" ”

"Oh, yes!" Xu Minxia then remembered that she had forgotten an important thing, and she hurriedly said; "Director Jiang, there is a southerner, quite young, and he still has Xiaomi. According to himself, he is the deputy general manager of a company in Jiangnan Province. ”

"Young deputy general manager? Still with Xiaomi? Jiang Wuyuan frowned.

It has been 10 years since the reform and opening up, and now that the society is becoming more and more tolerant, there are more and more officials and business leaders who do not care much about their own image. These people often bring young female secretaries to the market, and the relationship between them is always ambiguous. Everyone has seen a lot, so they call these female secretaries Xiaomi, which is a sticky and sweet health food

Jiang Wuyuan is a college student in the 60s, belonging to the old-school technician, and he is very disgusted with others taking Xiaomi. However, he seems to have forgotten one thing, if others see him with a young female assistant like Xu Minxia, they will probably think it is Xiaomi's.

"What are they looking for me?" Jiang Wuyuan asked Xu Minxia.

Xu Minxia said: "The man said that he came here and wanted to talk to you about what he was doing." ”

Jiang Wuyuan said: "What cooperation can I have with a person with Xiaomi? ”

That being said, since people came to him on a special trip, he couldn't help but see him. Xu Minxia told him that the person who came had been arranged to wait in the reception room, Jiang Wuyuan picked up a little, and then came to the reception room with Xu Minxia.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Wuyuan felt a little surprised, the pair of young people in front of him were not as vulgar and obscene as he imagined. The man was a handsome young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, more than 1.7 meters tall, with a strong body, and he couldn't see a piece of fat. He had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were shrewd and wise.

The girl is beautiful, about 1.6 meters tall, with a peach-like face, a ponytail tied behind her head, watery eyes, and aura. She was dressed very plainly, and her expression looked very pure, far from the image of Xiao Mi in Jiang Wuyuan's mind.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Listen to Xiao Xu, are you here to find me? Jiang Wuyuan said to the two. , The male guest stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Jiang Wuyuan, and said, "It's Director Jiang, right?" It is very presumptuous, that we came to visit you. My name is Lin Zhenhua, and I am the deputy general manager of Jiangnan Hanhua Heavy Industry Group Company. This is He Lan, a third-year student in the Department of Planned Economics at Chinese University, who is currently interning at our company, and this time he is here to serve as my assistant. ”

Letting He Lan participate in this ethylene battle was He Haifeng's request to Lin Zhenhua. He felt that his daughter's thoughts were very dangerous and pathetic, but he could not find a good way to change his daughter's view of the country. When inviting Lin Zhenhua to dinner, Haifeng had an idea and came up with an idea, that is, to let He Lan participate in Lin Zhenhua's project team and truly understand the country through practice.

He Lan has always believed that after the turmoil, this country is no longer worthy of her nostalgia, and she also calls this country a country of corrupt officials. He Haifeng's idea was to let her go to the grassroots level and get in touch with the workers and technicians who silently contributed to the country. He believed that He Lan would be able to learn something from these people.

Lin Zhenhua also has a kind of love for He Lan like a sister, and he is also willing to create an opportunity for He Lan to get to know the real China. In this way, he recruited He Lan into the company in the name of an intern and took her to various meetings. This time, he brought her to the Northeast to visit Jiang Wuyuan, an authority on pressure vessels.

Lin Zhenhua's understanding of Jiang Wuyuan comes from the introduction of Wei Dongqi and He Chengshan. But Jiang Wuyuan couldn't remember who Lin Zhenhua was for a while. While shaking hands with Lin Zhenhua, he searched for the name in his mind. He believed that he must have heard of the name, but he really couldn't remember what this person did.

"Manager Lin, do you have anything to do with our North Stone Machine this time?" After the guests and hosts were seated, Jiang Wuyuan asked Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Director Jiang, that's right, I heard that you are a well-known pressure vessel expert in the petrochemical equipment industry. This time, I came to your North Stone Machine to talk to Director Jiang about cooperation. ”

"Oh? Do you want to make pressure vessels? Jiang Wuyuan asked, he didn't think too much about it, he just regarded Lin Zhenhua as an ordinary customer. He didn't know what Hanhua Heavy Industries did, and thought it was a chemical company and wanted to find their factory to make equipment.

Lin Zhenhua took out a drawing from his bag, handed it to Jiang Wuyuan, and said, "Director Jiang, look at this, can our factory do it?" ”

Jiang Wuyuan took the drawings, glanced at them casually, and was stunned for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Zhenhua and asked, "This ・・・・・・ is a vinyl ball tank!" ”

Lin Zhenhua had long expected Jiang Wuyuan to have such a concubine expression, he nodded lightly and said, "Yes, the ethylene spherical tank has a diameter of 14,200 mm and a steel plate thickness of 38 mm. ”

"This is a 1,500 cubic meter spherical tank! Where is it used? Jiang Wuyuan asked, he didn't need to press the calculator to report the volume of this spherical tank, because he had already seen countless information on this.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Jiangbei Petrochemical's 450,000-ton ethylene transformation project, Director Jiang should have heard of it, right?" ”

"Isn't this project already stopped?" Jiang Wuyuan said, as soon as he said this, his mind suddenly flashed like lightning, and a name jumped out: "You just said...... You are Lin Zhenhua! ”

It turned out that this person was Lin Zhenhua, and Jiang Wuyuan finally remembered why he felt a little familiar with this name. Lin Zhenhua and his Hanhua Heavy Industries were not originally a petrochemical system, and the main product of Hanhua Heavy Industries' chemical equipment company was fertilizer equipment, not petrochemical equipment. But last year, Lin Zhenhua came to the Ministry of Petroleum and participated in the negotiations between the Ministry of Petroleum and ALK's ethylene equipment. It was at that time that Jiang Wuyuan heard about the names of Xianhua Heavy Industry and Lin Zhenhua from some friends, and he also knew that Hanhua Heavy Industry had obtained the information of 300,000 tons of ethylene transferred by ALK. You must know that these materials are what Jiang Wuyuan diligently sought.

For Hanhua Heavy Industry, Jiang Wuyuan was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but he had no choice. He once reported to the factory, hoping that the North Petroleum Machinery Factory could bid for the 300,000-ton ethylene project. But the factory director told him that the factory did not have so much money to support the follow-up research work, you know, it is far from enough to get the data transferred by ALK, and there are many experiments that need to be done with their own money, and the factory cannot come up with so much money.

As a veteran worker in the factory, Jiang Wuyuan also knew that the factory director's concerns were right. To build 300,000 tons of ethylene, the research investment in the early stage may not be tens of millions of yuan, and it will take hundreds of millions if you don't get it right. Hundreds of millions of yuan in scientific research investment is unthinkable for the North Petroleum Machinery Factory.

Jiang Wuyuan also wondered why the little-known Hanhua Heavy Industry dared to take on the project, which Beishi Machinery did not dare to accept? At this time, an insider told him that Hanhua Heavy Industry had a very charismatic leader named Lin Zhen, who was more willing to throw money into scientific research than anyone else. A scientific research investment of 100 million yuan may be astronomical in Beishi Machinery, but in Hanhua Heavy Industries, it is completely possible.

In this way, Jiang Wuyuan remembered the name: Lin Zhenhua. However, in his mind, Lin Zhenhua should be a spirited and respected old leader, how can he associate the golden boy and girl like young people in front of him with Lin Zhenhua? (To be continued.)
