Next chapter
At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Bush's special plane arrived at the Bincheng airport, and principal leaders of the provincial party committee and government, as well as the Bincheng city party committee and government, were present to greet the US vice president's visit.
The Bushes were arranged to stay at the North Hotel, where they were acquainted with the provincial party committee. Secretary Sun Weiben, Governor Hou Jie's warm welcome and grand reception, the police car in front of the road, and the welcoming masses on both sides of the street were arranged for ten miles, this is a big day in Bincheng!
Bincheng Municipal Party Committee. Secretary Li Genshen, Mayor Miyamoto Yan and others accompanied him, and they also specially found Lin Qiangsheng and instructed them to pay attention to the reception of Bush Sr.
"Xiaolin, this time Bush is going to visit the Dongxing Group and Dongxing University, you have to be prepared, how do I feel that you are not nervous at all!" Miyamoto asked, and at the same time he was still a little puzzled, this Lin Qiangsheng's face was unusual, and he had this attitude when such an important person visited.
"I'm nervous!" Lin Qiangsheng said jokingly, his words made the crowd in front of him laugh.
Although he got the news relatively late, there is really nothing to be nervous about, and the president of the United States is not the president of China, so he needs to be welcomed and cleaned up again.
Lin Xiang has already done a good job, and he doesn't need to worry, but Lin Qiangsheng still said: "Mayor Gong, don't worry, whether it is a company or a school, it is ready, just wait for Bush Sr!" โ
Miyamoto nodded, his expression was a little strange, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "At first, we visited the University of Technology, but Bush still decided to go to your new university. I tell you, this is an important moment, you must organize the students well, don't make mistakes, if there is a problem, it will affect the world! โ
"Ugh!" Hearing Miyamoto's words say so strictly, Lin Qiangsheng said: "Then I'll make a call!" โ
"Yes, I'm not worried about the company, I'm afraid that there will be problems in the school, and young students must be controlled!" Miyamoto instructed.
Lin Qiangsheng called Tian Jianpeng and asked, "Bush Sr. is going to give a speech, are the students all strict in discipline?" โ
Tian Jianpeng said: "Mr. Lin, President Zou Baoxiang has a high prestige, he personally leads Chinese and foreign teachers, as well as thousands of students, and hundreds of people in the front row are elites of various departments, there will be no problems, we are ready!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "That's good, don't let Bush Sr. suddenly stand up to someone when he is present, make irresponsible remarks about the United States, criticize others, we must pay attention to Sino-US unity, this matter must be explained to the students, and we will not be allowed to be in the limelight!" โ
Tian Jianpeng: "Yes, but I'm afraid that the foreign teachers present, especially those hired from the United States, don't obey orders and obey commands!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng said: "Forget those people, no matter what, they won't say anything weird, the main thing is to guard against our people, you follow President Zou Baoxiang closely and listen to his orders, Dongxing University can't make this bad example!" โ
"Yes, I see!" Tian Jianpeng said.
After instructing the school, Lin Qiangsheng continued to attend the banquet, the old Bush couple's schedule was very tight, he only had half a day to visit wรจn, and he would return to the capital in the evening, and after the talks with Deng Lao tomorrow, this trip to China would be completed! โ
In the past half a month, Lin Qiangsheng occasionally met Ibekka, and this woman became Bush's entourage, which made him very strange.
After the luncheon, the elder Bush and his wife took a short nap and left for the heavy industrial area in the south of the city just after 1 p.m.
This is the old industrial area of the whole Ben Thanh, and it is also the area with the largest concentration of heavy industrial enterprises in the province. On a 1.5-kilometer long street, there are Ben Cheng Electric Machinery Factory, Ben Cheng Steam Turbine Factory and Ben Cheng Boiler Factory.
Each of the three large-scale equipment industry enterprises in the country has tens of thousands of regular employees, as well as tens of thousands of employees of affiliated enterprises who rely on large enterprises to survive, and among the millions of people in the region, seventy or eighty percent are personnel of heavy industry and related enterprises, which is a veritable old industrial base in China!
Despite the country's reform and opening up, the old industrial base of Bincheng has entered a stage of sluggish development, which is in stark contrast to the rapid development of the private economy in the whole south.
The large enterprises here are technologically backward, the equipment is outdated, the benefits are reduced, and the burden is heavy. With the whole of China vigorously reducing investment in heavy industry, the heavy industry in Ben Cheng is faltering and becoming increasingly difficult.
The provincial party committee and the provincial government are very modest, and the leaders also know that they are backward, and they are somewhat unable to handle these things in front of the Americans, but they have contributed a lot to the construction of New China, and they cannot watch it decline day by day.
Sun Weiben expressed to Bush at the right time his desire to introduce US technology and hoped that the United States would open up some heavy industry technology to China.
Bush visited the motor factory and the steam turbine factory and learned some about the heavy industry in the Bincheng area, and he told Sun Weiben: "At present, the heavy industry in the world is lagging behind Japan as a whole, 70 percent of the steel bases in the United States are in urgent need of transformation, and 90 percent of the steel mills and foundries have to stop production or close down because they pollute the environment and are difficult to meet manufacturing standards." In this regard, China should also learn from the policies of the United States, and if it transforms in a timely manner, it may be able to achieve new development! โ
Seeing the puzzled expressions of Sun Weiben and others, the elder Bush played a trick and said: "As for the advanced technology you are concerned about, this is not something I can decide. โ
"Well, who are we looking for!" Sun Weiben and the others sighed, already knowing that Bush Sr. had played a trick on them, and that no American heavy industry company would sell technology to China.
Bush Sr. suddenly pushed these things to the enterprise, and his answer hurt Sun Weiben and others. In China, the leaders have the final say, while in the United States it is the system that has the final say, and if there is an inconsistency between the concepts of the two sides, it will lead to a difference in the style of acting, and the Americans can use the system as an excuse, and they who are dealing with the US president for the first time will naturally think that Bush is prevaricating them.
The three large factories could not be visited one by one, and the next stop, the elder Bush and his wife came to the Eastern Star Group, which occupies a considerable area of land in the northwest of Ben City.
This time, Lin Qiangsheng came to the front and met directly with Bush Sr., and the two were already familiar with each other, but this time they didn't need to be translated, so they naturally chatted together.
Mr. and Mrs. Bush were surprised to see that the headquarters of the Eastern Star Group was very modern, which was obviously different from the traditional heavy industry enterprises they had just visited.
Even though Dongxing urgently removed most of the network equipment, they were surprised that the computers in the office would not be moved, and even the Americans who accompanied them were surprised.
Bush said in surprise: "Lin, this place is really amazing, your company is just like an American company!" Very good, China has opened up, enterprises have come in, and the popularization of modern tools has been driven, and I have always said that enterprises should be ahead of the government! โ
Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "In fact, I can only do so much, as you can see, there are still many backward places in China, and there is really nothing for a company to popularize computers." We don't have the slightest influence on the overall situation in China, after all, these advanced computers are not of much use to most enterprises in China! โ
Bush shook his head again and again, and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Oh no, Lin, I wonder that you have such a thought, how can a computer be useless to an enterprise, even I often use it, it can indeed help me in my office, your idea is unbelievable, this is too strange!" โ
He walked up to an East Star employee and asked, "Miss, do you know how to operate a computer?" โ
The female employee of Dongxing was so excited to see the Vice President of the United States talking to her that she replied in English, "Yes, I can use this computer!" โ
Bush Sr. smiled and said, "You are very fluent in English, can you show me how to do it?" โ
"Yes, sir!" The female employee turned on the computer, and the system was a little slow to enter, and she showed some anxiety.
Lin Qiangsheng said in a timely manner: "It's okay to slow down, just demonstrate the ORD to Vice President Bush!" โ
The female employee nodded, she skillfully opened an ord text jiร n, and then typed a few Chinese characters with the pinyin input method.
Bush Sr. was very surprised: "I was able to type Chinese characters!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng introduced: "This is a Chinese character pinyin input method developed by our Dongxing Group, you know that our Chinese character pinyin is also the Latin alphabet, as long as you recognize the word, you can type, basically achieve the same efficiency as English input!" โ
Bush Sr. nodded in amazement and said: "Great, this is a great progress in the popularization of computers in China, and you have done a lot of meaningful work!" โ
The female employee demonstrated a typing, operating documents, faxes, and a broadband cable can be connected to the fax machine, so that the office can be automated, and it is very convenient to get twice the result with half the effort.
The leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government who came to the scene were also very happy, and the accompanying personnel applauded warmly, and the elder Bush and his wife were also very happy and praised again and again.
Next, the Bushes visited the automobile production line of the Binqi Group, and when they saw the neat cars on the production line, as well as the workers who were neatly dressed and seriously busy on the production line, they were even more surprised, you must know that when the old Bush couple came to visit China in 79, there was no automobile industry in China at that time, but now there is a large automobile manufacturer here!
At the same time, he also learned that Binqi Group has a complete manufacturing system, which is an automobile production base with an area of 20 square kilometers!
Around the Dongxing Group and Binqi Group's new industrial zone, there are more than 200 large and small enterprises, most of which are auto parts as their main products.
Bush Sr. found that the heavy industry in Bincheng is relatively backward, but the new industry represented by the automobile is rising, and the supporting system here is also at the world level, although it is not clear about its management system, but in this ancient land of China, it is a miracle to be able to see such an industrial cluster!
