And here, Zhong Bai, who is eating good dishes such as braised prawns, stewed chicken in clear soup, and crucian carp in milk soup in the restaurant of the guest house of the Ministry of Industry, is constantly answering everyone's questions.

"Xiao Zhong, why did you come up with that plan?"

"It was only after the teacher, Professor Yuan, that I came to ...... inspiration."

"Xiao Zhong, how did you know that their automatic drill and blast system had an overload and power outage in Oregon?"

"Well, I heard about this by a friend outside my country, in fact, I wasn't completely sure at the time, so I tried to ask, but I didn't expect them to panic themselves......"

"Little Bell ......"

Hearing that everyone had been interrupting Zhong Bai's rhythm of eating, Qi Xiu, who was in a good mood, hurriedly waved his hand: "What are you doing?" If you want people to contribute, you have to ask people to eat well, right? If you have any questions, I'll ask them after talking to M in the afternoon, and you can't relax yet! ”

As soon as the director said this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and ate again, and no one pestered Zhong Bai to ask this and that anymore.

"Director Qi." Yuan Jianguo took advantage of this gap and asked with a smile: "Is that the division has basically decided to adopt the single hydraulic support roof method?" ”

"Professor Yuan, you can't say that. At the beginning, the Planning Department was only responsible for communicating with the MD company, and the real willingness to purchase still had to come from the grassroots mining enterprises themselves. Although Qi Xiu said this, the ease on his face was overflowing: "However, Xiao Zhong's plan is indeed more suitable for the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City in all aspects, in principle, in view of the high price of the automatic drilling and blasting system scheme on the MD side, and the adaptability does not seem to be enough at present, we must at least veto their plan first, and then talk about the next step......

After all, he is the director of the department, as the leader of a department, even if things seem to be in no suspense, but he still has to have a meeting with the MD trio in the afternoon, before the business negotiations are completely over, Qi Xiu will certainly not be too full of words, and must leave some leeway for himself and the planning department, which is also the basic style of acting as a leader.

Of course, according to the process, after rejecting the automatic drilling and blasting system plan of the White Mining Equipment Manufacturing Plant, it is also necessary to greet the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry, the supervision group and the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City layer by layer, which takes some time, and it is impossible for Qi Xiu to call the person in charge of each level in person, which is not in line with the regulations, but also an additional burden for him.

Although it is not the first time to deliver the news in this way, the advantage is that the time in the middle will not be wasted, Qi Xiu still remembers that the letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to be replied to, and in addition, Zhong Bai proposed the process of importing equipment by Chinese private enterprises, and there are still many procedures to go, not that everything will be done with his mouth.

Yuan Jianguo had originally set a half-day time to come over for a meeting today, but now there is a temporary change, he still has his own work to do in the afternoon, plus Zhong Bai's performance in the second half of this morning has been very eye-catching, and he has almost pronounced the death sentence of the automatic drilling and blasting system, so at this time, Yuan Jianguo also walked in front of Qi Xiu, bowed his head and said to him: "Director Qi, there is still some urgent work to be done in the afternoon, I will go back to the courtyard after eating." ”

"Okay, I'll contact you again if there's anything, it's hard work today, Professor Yuan." Qi Xiu nodded slightly, and said: "Today's business trip subsidy has been reported in the department, what is too cumbersome to apply for a subsidy signing process in your hospital, I'm afraid I can't report it for a week, seeing that it's about to be a holiday on Labor Day, it's better to get the subsidy reimbursement in hand as soon as possible for the holiday, you think it's okay?" ”

"Then thank you, Director Qi."

Although it was just an inconspicuous matter, Yuan Jianguo had fully felt the gratitude of the leaders of the Planning Department for coming to the meeting today, but what he didn't say was that in fact, all this planning originated from listening to Zhong Bai's arrangement in the guest house room last night!

Thinking of this, Yuan Jianguo also walked to Zhong Bai's side, and said to him with a smile: "Xiao Zhong, after you are busy with the affairs of the department, remember to come to the research institute to see my teacher, don't even go to the teacher's office once in the capital, then send it back to your provincial department, I'm afraid I don't think I'm a stingy person, and even the apprentice won't send a meal ticket to eat a canteen or something when he goes to the capital on business." ”

"Haha, it must be! Teacher Yuan, you should go and get busy first, and go back to the hospital early and squint for a while at noon. Zhong Bai watched Yuan Jianguo take the initiative to emphasize the master-apprentice relationship between the two in front of everyone, but he had always been worried, that is, he was afraid that others would question that he was not Yuan Jianguo's student at all, and now that he heard the other party say this, he was very happy to respond.

At 2:45 a.m., still fifteen minutes in advance, the original team of the planning department for the morning meeting was quite a few people, plus a bell, and they came to the conference room on the third floor of the Ministry of Industry neatly and waited, ready to start the second half.

And this time, the MD trio weren't late again, and even they arrived five minutes early.

There was nothing special in the expressions of the three of them, at least it was much more normal than when the meeting was about to end in the morning.

Engineer Bradley picked up the translated English version of the written report of the Kata Mine this time, and expressed his approval of this record in front of everyone.

Qi Xiu naturally would not refute the enemy's voluntary surrender, and even praised it: "Yes, we have repeatedly calculated the data in this report after reading it, and it is natural and true, and it should be impossible to forge anything - everyone knows that the people of the Soviet Union have always disliked to fake numbers." ”

"Yes, this report is enough to prove that the use of the single hydraulic support roof method in underground coal mines is good and safe enough, but ......" Bradley began to come up with a new idea for discussion at noon, and changed the conversation: "The Soviet-style air compressor currently used in the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City, if you insist on using it, it is not impossible, although the failure rate is a bit high, but the improvement of this piece can be handed over to our company, and we will provide the improvement of the Soviet-style air compressor for free, And within a month, it will be gradually updated and replaced, so as not to delay the operation of the overall automatic drilling and blasting system. ”

Zhong Bai was a little surprised when he heard this, hey, what the hell is this? Seems like this stupid engineer got smarter when he came back in the afternoon?

This is indeed an effective adjustment – provided that the division still decides to use the automatic drilling and blasting system solution.

However, Zhong Bai knew very well that there was almost no possibility now, after all, the difference between 24 million US dollars and 2.7 million rubles was still there! This is not something you MD can solve with one or two small actions!
