Early the next morning, Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to Ma Sanxing and rushed to Hami City, 200 kilometers away, in Wang Huzi's jeep.

However, before leaving, Yang Xiaotao asked Ma Sanxing to find some melon seeds for him to keep, and Ma Sanxing responded in one bite.

I don't know much about Yang Xiaotao in Hami City, and in my previous life, I only knew that there was a kind of melon that was very delicious.

But now he doesn't know if there is, if there is, he has to taste it, and it's better to bring back two.

The car sped all the way, refueling once in between, and then reached the outskirts of Hami City in the evening.

"There is also a steel mill in Hami, but it's much smaller than in other places."

The car stopped on the dirt slope on the side, and the four of them got out of the car to rest.

Wang Huzi took the kettle and poured two sips and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

On the other side, Xiao Wu also gave the kettle to Wang Hao, and the two of them were vigilant while drinking.

Walking in this desert, especially when the weather is very hot, if there is not much water, it is purely a small life.

This is also the minimum survival common sense of the people who live here.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao has learned very well.

Ten barrels of mineral water of eighteen liters each were stored in his space.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many space things, he would have wanted to make ten more buckets.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, and then spit out the wind and sand in his mouth, and then took a few sips to dispel the heat in his lungs.

Then look at the city of Hami, which is not far away, and still retains the ancient city walls.

Compared with the city walls of Sijiu City, it looks a little childish.

Of course, it has to do with the place.

There are few cities like Sijiu City in the entire continent.

As for whether it will be demolished in the future, this, Yang Xiaotao said that it doesn't count.

But it's still a pity in my heart.

The battle-hardened city walls have been preserved, but when it comes to this, they will be demolished first.

Yang Xiaotao really couldn't figure out what those experts thought.

Of course, if you have the opportunity, you must try to keep as many as possible.

At least when children grow up, they can see the real thing, not the pattern on the photo.

"Hammy is a great place. Just this one, there are rich metallurgical industry resources. ”

Wang Huzi pointed around, as if commanding a battle, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

"There, thirty miles away, there is high-quality iron ore, and fifty miles to the north, there is an open-pit mine, and it is very cheap to mine."

"But 50 years ago, not a pound of iron or steel was produced here, and even the iron used for horseshoes had to be shipped or imported from the mainland."

"But now, there are steel mills, power plants, and all kinds of mines have begun, and the people of all nationalities, under the guidance of the revolution, are sincerely united to create a beautiful homeland."

Wang Huzi was very relieved when he said this, but then he was a little disappointed, "The only pity is that there is not much water here, otherwise, it can develop as soon as possible." ”

"Water source?"

"Yes, here, there is only one canal, which was done when Zuo Jigao presided over the affairs of returning to Xinjiang, and later we widened and reinforced, but a canal is still not enough for the development of the city."

"Zuo Jigao, the one who carried the coffin?"

Yang Xiaotao took another sip of water and asked tentatively.

"Yes, it's him, carrying the coffin and going out to assess the return to Xinjiang. In my opinion, he is a hero, just like Zheng Chenggong. ”

"The great men have said that without Zuo Jigao, it is difficult to say about returning to Xinjiang."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Indeed, here, it is not as easy to calm down as the mainland. ”

Seeing Yang Xiaotao say this, Wang Huzi also nodded.

When he brought people here, the difficulties he faced were unimaginable.

Fortunately, with the persistence of comrades over the years, the situation has finally come to an end.

"Let's go, let's go into the city."

Wang Huzi saw that several people were almost resting, and beckoned Xiao Wu to drive into the city.

At the Hami City Gate, the car was stopped by the guards, Wang Huzi took out his documents, the guards looked at them twice, looked at them carefully, and then immediately let them go.

"We didn't go to a steel mill this time, we went to a newly established machine shop."

"The factory was only established last year, and the machines in it were all bought from neighbors, and the manpower was also drawn from all over the northwest, but the scale has not yet risen, and the manufacturing is only enough for the needs of people in the city."

Wang Huzi was talking on the side, and Yang Xiaotao was looking at the surrounding environment through the window.

The unique northwestern architecture is full of pedestrians, some dressed in workers' clothes and some in the clothes of locals, but these people also have happy joys on their faces.

The car passed through the eyes of everyone, and came to a building without a gate, and Wang Huzi and the two got out of the car.

"This is the station, let's live here, put down our things first, rest tonight, and I'll take you to the machinery factory tomorrow."

"Second Machine-Building Plant!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, looked around again, and the smell of dust came to his face.

After Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao put their things away, they washed up and began to rest.

At this time, the sky was still bright.

"Factory director, you came out this time, I feel very worried!"

After laying out the quilt, the two closed the curtains and lay down on the bed to rest.

Wang Hao couldn't help asking, the two had been on a business trip a lot, and they knew each other well.

"You see that?"

"I'm not stupid, it's so obvious, I can't see it?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "My family's mouth should be born in two months, do you say I'm worried or not." ”

"Hey! It's okay, we will definitely be able to rush back, the corn is planted, what else can happen? ”

"I hope so."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he looked at the time, it was nine o'clock, and it was not dark yet!

Closing his eyes, he shouted Xiaowei in his heart, and the picture of home appeared in his mind.

Ran Qiuye sat in front of the kerosene lamp, looking serious, correcting the homework.

On the other side, the Dragon Boat Festival was lying on the bed pouting and sleeping...

……

Thousands of miles away!

Kazakhstan, Acre City!

In the spacious and bright room, the two of them sit on a blanket, and the fruit bowl in the middle is placed with local fruits.

Behind them, three or five people sat still, all silent.

"Dear Lee, this is already the best price!"

A middle-aged man in a white top hat and a wide black-rimmed robe clasped his hands together, and his long slender eyes flashed with slyness in brown eyeballs.

In front of him was a middle-aged man who was also well-dressed, yellow-skinned, speaking fluently and with a warm expression. "Dear Muhammad, you also know our difficulties and hope that you will appreciate our sincerity."

"This price is much more than ours."

"Is this still the case with our friendship?"

The man surnamed Li said sincerely, but Mohammed on the other side looked calm, and reached out and touched two delicate mustaches.

"Li, the friendship between you and me must be like that of Yi. Like ploughing the river, connecting you and me, it has a long history. ”

"But now, in your ancient Chinese saying, it's called business."

"And I'm a businessman!"

Muhammad did not flinch, and the man surnamed Li showed a wry smile.

This negotiation, although under the guise of commercial exchanges, is actually a transaction between the two countries.

However, the other side is afraid of the attitude of the alliance, so it has always flaunted the banner of people-to-people exchanges.

This time, the two represented their respective countries and discussed a batch of equipment.

For this batch of equipment, although it was eliminated by the alliance, it was still a good equipment for Huaxia at this time.

If it weren't for the saturation of Kazakhstan's industry, they wouldn't have sold it.

In this regard, China attaches great importance to it, and must ship these equipment back to China.

It's just that the two sides have not negotiated the price, and today, it is the deadline given by the country, and we can't wait any longer.

As for anything, the country didn't say anything, but he could feel that the alliance began to meddle.

"Lee, I know it's some, well, hard for the strong. But this is, that's the bottom line behind me. ”

Seeing the entanglement of the person opposite, Mohammed slowed down his tone, after all, the friendship between the two sides still needs to be taken care of.

Especially his wife at home, he liked the flying eagle made by Huaxia very much this time, and it also made him taste a different taste.

"Muhammad, you also know that our little foreign exchange is eager to be broken in half, and this time, it has directly emptied several years of savings!"

Li Xingman said bitterly, for those who deal with foreign exchange, they know best.

If you want to develop at home, if you want to deal with foreign countries, you have to use money everywhere.

Even if it is an exchange, it is necessary to have money to open the way.

After a moment of silence, Muhammad felt that he couldn't get by, or rather, he was a little reluctant to sell a batch of old equipment at that price, so he opened his mouth and whispered, "Li, so be it." ”

"I have a replacement drilling equipment in my factory, and I will give it to you in my own name."

"That's the most I can do."

When Muhammad had finished speaking, he sat upright again, without any expression on his face.

No one around noticed anything out of the ordinary, and negotiations continued.

The man surnamed Li glanced at Muhammad, then took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"Then, dear Mr. Mohammed, may our friendship endure."

Muhammad smiled, "Friendship endures. ”

Subsequently, the two sides quickly reached a consensus and signed an agreement, which was surprisingly fast.

When the two shook hands and left amicably, both sides looked relaxed.

This negotiation has finally come to an end.

Leaving the castle building behind him, the man surnamed Li got into the car and rushed to the station.

"Leader, this price has exceeded the budget, and we have no money for the extra money."

In the co-pilot, the young man with round glasses turned around and said.

"There is no way, it must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be many dreams at night, and when the bamboo basket will draw water, it will be empty, even if you have money, you can't buy it."

The man rubbed his eyebrows, this negotiation was too sad.

"But what about the money that is missing? Is it special money with domestic expression? ”

"Not yet!"

The man surnamed Li pondered for a moment, then shouted to the driver, "Go to the business department!" ”

"Leader, do you want to?"

The young people instantly understood what leadership meant.

Since the export of pressure cookers, the business department in Kazakhstan has opened a special sales department for pressure cookers, specializing in managing export affairs.

"Well, so many days have passed, and so many have been sold, there should be some inventory."

"Uh, leader, this is the third trip we have go, and Section Chief Wang is afraid of us!"

The young man said embarrassedly, "Besides, it's nine o'clock now, and it's night, so it's not good to bother." ”

The man surnamed Li was unimpressed, "You know anything, it's all about contributing to the country and the revolution." ”

"We must have a big picture, we must look at the problem with a long-term vision, and we must use this money to buy more machines for the country..."

"Besides, isn't money earned and spent! Otherwise, wouldn't it be waste paper in your hands? Only when you buy a machine is a hen that makes money, do you understand? ”

"Besides, it's still lit up this day!"

The young man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and when he thought of Section Chief Wang's embarrassed appearance, he felt sorry for him.

"No, leader, this wool can't be a sheep!"

"Nonsense, do you think I'm willing, at this time, the grain is not sold, except for the pressure cooker to make money, how can there be so much?"

The man surnamed Li said helplessly, and the young man stopped talking, after all, this is the status quo.

Foreign exchange, except for gold, is only earned by export trade.

But gold can't be touched lightly.

"Alas, I'm thinking now, with tens of thousands of more flying eagles, we can have confidence in negotiations."

Young people are not talking, it is not easy to manufacture flying eagles in this country, tens of thousands of units, and dare to think.

There was silence in the car, the driver pursed his lips, and several people were heavy in their hearts.

So many good things, so many equipment that is important for the country, so many things that can be bought as long as you have money.

But on the contrary, a penny is difficult for a hero!
