April 5th, although it is an ordinary day in the calendar, but for the Red Star Consortium, it is an important day, and even for the country, with the lifting of the ban on future news, today will definitely be extraordinary.

Because today is the day when the cooperation between the Red Star Consortium and the Mitsui Foundation of Japan officially begins.

The machine tool manufacturing department of the Red Star Manufacturing Plant is about to be established!

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Ye represented himself and the Red Star Consortium, and Mitsui Hui represented the Mitsui Consortium, and the two sides signed a cooperation agreement in the real sense, a cooperation agreement that needs to be kept strictly confidential.

This was followed by a symbolic ribbon-cutting, groundbreaking and groundbreaking ceremony.

At present, the location of the machine tool manufacturing department is the former military base about 60 kilometers away from the headquarters of the Red Star Consortium, which was previously leased to the Red Star Consortium as a dismantling plant.

The reason why it is said that it was once was because the production scale of the dismantling plant was expanded and upgraded to the "second manufacturing base of the Red Star Consortium", coupled with the establishment of the machine tool department, which led to the fact that the originally leased land and workshop were no longer enough.

In this case, after consultation with the theater and the Ministry of National Defense, this base was directly transferred to the Red Star Consortium without additional charges, at the cost of the Red Star Consortium once again absorbing at least 10,000 demobilized soldiers in the Luqi Provincial Theater, as for the unit originally stationed here, basically only the number was retained, almost all the soldiers have been transferred to the Red Star Consortium, and only a small number of officers and cadres have been transferred to other bases with the number.

Although I got this base, it was still not enough overall.

So as the weather warmed, the expansion project here also began again, the former "dismantling plant" was renamed "automobile manufacturing department", along the northwest side of the base began to expand, and the newly established machine tool manufacturing department began to expand along the southeast direction, the original army base was divided into two.

The symmetrical midpoint is the railway station, which is being expanded.

Originally, this base was stationed with armored troops, and there was a need for railways to deliver tanks and armored vehicles, so there was originally a railway here.

However, now that it is part of the Red Star Consortium, the scale of this railway station has also begun to expand in order to have a stronger railway transportation capacity.

And the original railway is a "dead-end road", one end of it merges into the railway from Yuntai City to Qindao Port, and the other end leads to the base, to put it bluntly, this is originally a special railway for the army, which is specially used to pull tanks and transport materials to the base, and does not involve other uses.

But now, the direction of the "broken end" of the railway has begun to continue to be built, and will lead to the headquarters of the consortium 60 kilometers away, so that the days when the headquarters of the association was purely transported by car are gone, and this railway will not be "broken" again after passing through the headquarters of the association, but will rush out of the scope of the headquarters of the association, pass through the "steel manufacturing department" in the suburbs of Laiyang County, and finally merge into the Yuntai Qindao Railway passing through Laiyang County.

In this way, the multiple manufacturing bases of the consortium are all connected by rail, which can greatly improve the transportation efficiency and reduce the transportation cost.

"Mr. Nobi looks happy."

After the ceremony was over, Wang Ye said in a low voice to Megumi Mitsui next to him.

Following Wang Ye's gaze, I saw that Ye Bijian, who had been to the machine tool center twice, looked red, surrounded by the staff of Huaxia, the chat looked quite enthusiastic, and even the eyebrows couldn't help jumping, obviously there was a feeling of joy.

"Heh, if you're Nobi-kun, you'll be happy too."

Maybe it was because there was too much contact and collision with Wang Ye, Wang Ye opened his mouth, and Mitsui Hui basically guessed what Wang Ye was expressing, and said with a chuckle without thinking.

"What's the explanation?"

Wang Ye asked curiously, and Mitsui Hui explained casually:

"If you are in the original unit, you are a person who only knows how to work hard, because you don't know how to flatter, the leader doesn't like you, because you don't like to drink all night, and you don't like all kinds of social activities, so your colleagues don't like you, and because you are quiet on weekdays, you don't fight or grab at work, even your subordinates look down on you."

"Do you think you'll be happy? Even if you're a fool, you're not going to be happy, are you? ”

"But one day, you are transferred to a new place by the company, where people focus on technology, and your strong technology is your decency, everyone respects you, respectfully calls you a teacher, and is eager to learn your technology from you, if it were you, where do you think you would be happy to work?"

Hearing Mitsui Megumi's explanation, Wang Ye suddenly realized, while Mitsui Megumi looked at Ye Bijian, who was surrounded by the crowd, his eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed and said in a low voice:

"It's a sadness, you know?"

"It's like my grandfather said, Japan has degenerated."

"Unlike you, we are in a vigorous era, like the rising sun"

Wang Ye doesn't want to talk to Mitsui Megumi's "disease-free moaning", this woman is like this, sometimes she likes to engage in these vain things, Wang Ye likes to work hard, and does not like to engage in this kind of verbal work.

At this moment, Wang Ye glanced at the huge canteen.

I saw that in this huge space, there were a large number of "small gangs" like Nobi, and the center of these small gangs were all Japanese.

It's just that some Japanese seem to be very accustomed to this situation, talking and laughing quite complacently, it is obvious that the Japanese engineers who have been to the machine tool center before, have found former acquaintances here, and some seem to be a little cramped, but under the sound of touting, it seems that there is a fluttering feeling, blushing and thick neck.

"Could it be that these people here are all the same people as Yebi?"

Wang Ye turned his head to look at Mitsui Hui, and then said in a low voice, Mitsui Hui did not deny this, nodded and said:

"Yes, basically."

"After all, no one will care about an unlikable person like Yebi, his transfer and disappearance."

"This will greatly increase the confidentiality of our project."

"Of course, you don't have to worry, there is absolutely no problem with their skills and abilities, even far beyond their normal colleagues."

Speaking of this, Megumi Mitsui's voice paused, and then continued:

"To be honest, you're extraordinary."

"I used to think that you were just a person who was good at politics, scheming and business operations, but as I got to know you better, I found that this is not the case, and you can be called a scientist completely!"

"Heh, it's hard to imagine that a person who is engaged in technology can still be distracted in these fields."

"So sometimes I have to admit that you're a genius."

"That's what my grandfather said, so we can work together, but you're the key."

Hearing Mitsui Hui say this, Wang Ye couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a rather bright smile, looking down at Mitsui Hui with a smile and saying:

"Oh! You've changed! You're actually starting to slap my ass? What a surprise! ”

"I doubt that you will have anything to ask for from me next, if this is the case, then I advise you to die of this heart as soon as possible, after all, I am not so easy to be bribed by a few kind words, of course, if you come up with other practical actions and benefits, then it is a different matter."

"For example, if you want to come to me with a full set of technology and personnel, then I will definitely be waiting for you and welcome you warmly!"

"But I don't think you have the guts to do that, hehe."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye, who seemed to be joking, paused, then spread his hands and continued with a smile:

"But anyway, I just like to listen to these nice treacherous words."

"So, huh! Thank you for the compliment, I took it. ”

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, Mitsui Hui next to him snorted lightly and said:

"First, you're thinking too much, I'm just making an objective statement."

"Second, I'm not talking about traitors, but now you are completely in line with all my imagination of the ancient traitors."

"Third, you're bewitching me, aren't you?"

Faced with Mitsui Hui's rhetorical question, Wang Ye said very calmly:

"If you want, then you can understand it this way."

With the sound of Wang Ye speaking, Mitsui Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, and it seemed that her gaze was sharper, and in the next second, she opened her mouth and was about to say something, only to see a staff member trotting over:

"Director, the luncheon is ready, you and Ms. Mitsui are seated!"

Because Megumi Mitsui does not hold any substantive position in this factory, but only hangs the empty title of "director", everyone calls her either Ms. Mitsui or Director Mitsui.

As for Wang Ye, everyone still calls Wang Ye the factory director, and Wang Ye is indeed the factory director here.

"Okay."

Wang Ye nodded, made a gesture of invitation to Mitsui Hui and said:

"Please! Ms. Mitsui? ”

As soon as Wang Ye's words fell, Mitsui Hui turned around and left very impolitely, Wang Ye followed behind her with a disapproving smile, and then the two sat down on the main seat.

The place where the celebration luncheon was held was the large canteen of the previous army, which covered a large area as a whole, but today it was extremely crowded, because the first batch of Japanese engineers who arrived in China was more than 120 people, plus more than 300 people in the field of machine tools transferred by the Red Star Consortium and ministries and commissions, and there were nearly 450 people at the scene, and there were at least 40 tables full.

And this is just the first batch, mainly at the technical level.

After the expansion of the factory is completed, the required equipment is pulled over and installed in place, and the production and scientific research capabilities are basically built, the entire machine tool manufacturing department will gradually move towards perfection, and the number of personnel will further increase, according to the current plan, in the autumn and winter of this year, it will reach the scale of 2,000 people.

"Alright, let's eat!"

Finally, after a brief speech, Wang Ye said so, and the sound of chopsticks and dishes colliding began to sound at the scene.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the atmosphere of the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and the toasting activity began, and most of those who were toasted were naturally Japanese engineers, such as Nobiken, who had already served as the head of the Japanese engineer, and the whole person looked red and proud, and he was very happy with the naked eye.

It's not at all like Megumi Mitsui once described, and she doesn't like to drink with her colleagues.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh silently, it is conceivable that these Japanese engineers on the scene will soon start that kind of painful and happy life, how happy they are drinking now, how painful they will be surrounded when the time comes, they may or may not understand, but it doesn't matter, because as Megumi Mitsui said, here they are teachers respected by everyone, and in Japan they are stinky shit that has been excluded, so now they are already enjoying it, and they want to refuse and welcome. ”

At that moment, looking at the staggered scene, Wang Ye suddenly remembered a person.

With his invincible amount of alcohol, that person drank a vote of the Soviet Union, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a match for the Soviet people's temperament of drinking, which greatly promoted the introduction of Su-27 fighters.

Sometimes the course of history is so incredible, and even many times the reality is far more outrageous, because a small act of one person will cause the wheel of the entire history to deviate unusually.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye subconsciously looked at Megumi Mitsui next to him.

"What's wrong? Suddenly looking at me like that? ”

"Is there anything on my face?"

Under Wang Ye's burning gaze, Mitsui Hui looked a little uncomfortable, touched his cheek and said, Wang Ye shook his head and said silently:

"Nothing."

After finishing speaking, he continued to bury his head in eating steamed oysters, it is said that this thing fills the essence and replenishes the kidneys, Wang Ye feels that he has been very busy recently, and his energy consumption is very high, so he decided to eat more, leaving only Mitsui Hui's eyes full of suspicion.

In the afternoon, I drank alcohol, so I was free to move.

Although it is said to be free, it is almost impossible for Japanese engineers to sleep soundly, because enthusiastic "students" are already flocking to it.

The next day, the official work of the machine tool manufacturing department began.

However, the main content is learning, because the expansion of the factory has not yet been completed, and some of the equipment needed has not been transported and installed in place, so the technicians still act as students, and the Japanese engineers still act as teachers.

Soon, it was April 7th.

Wang Ye, who stayed here for two days, left after settling down all the work, but did not return to the headquarters of the consortium, but prepared to go to the shipyard, since returning to China, Wang Ye has not had time to go to the shipyard, not because the shipyard is not important, but precisely because the shipyard is too important, Wang Ye left it at the end of all the trivial work.

At the same time, Mitsui Hui left with Wang Ye, she is still an international student at Yenching University, of course, she can't skip classes every day, and according to the contract signed by Wang Ye and Mitsui, she is just a shareholder who holds shares, and she does not involve the specific management of the factory, and there is no need and reason to stay here for a long time.
