Yuntai City, Industrial Bureau Development Office, Director Li was obviously stunned when he heard Wang Ye's voice.
"Wait, what did you say? Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly."
As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, Director Li put down the pen, pushed the document away, focused on the phone, and even picked his ears with his little fingers, as if too much earwax was affecting his hearing.
On the other end of the phone, Wang Ye didn't care about Director Li's reaction. He leaned back on his chair, holding the newspaper in his left hand and the phone in his right hand and said with a smile:
"I said, Director Li, the Canton Fair is about to start. Why didn't the Industrial Bureau notify us?"
"Our Red Star Machinery Factory has now been converted from military to civilian. It is a serious state-owned machinery factory. We are going to participate in the Canton Fair!"
This time, Director Li heard clearly and said with a sneer:
"Wang Ye, did you drink yesterday? Are you hungover?"
"As for the products of your machinery factory, which one can be sold? Which one can be put on the table openly? The Canton Fair is a serious import and export conference, and all serious goods are sold? What are you going to do? ?”
"I'll forget about being embarrassed then. If I cause any trouble, it will be a big problem!"
"If I must say it, the products from your factory can be sent over. The electric fan washing machine does meet the requirements, but foreigners are not short of these things! I don't think it is possible to import electric fan washing machines from us."
"But it's all in vain. Our only Canton Fair quota in Yuntai City has been taken away by the city's No. 3 Food Factory. They have to sell wild vegetables."
"You guys should hurry up and get the orders! You've already got six million US dollars, and you're still thinking about the Canton Fair!"
"If the delivery is delayed by then, I think you will cry!"
Hearing what Director Li said, Wang Ye's heart suddenly went cold. At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly blame himself for ignoring such a big problem!
Decades later, the time of the Autumn Canton Fair was basically determined to be October in autumn. Under normal circumstances, the date would not change. However, Wang Ye forgot that in this era, the time of the Canton Fair each year is not very certain. Sometimes it’s early and sometimes it’s late, it has something to do with the merchants!
Thinking of this, Wang Ye decided that he still had to fight to the death.
"Director Li, you can't say that!"
"What you said makes it sound like our machinery factory is engaged in some illegal production. Why can't our products be sold? I feel that our products are all good and honest products. Foreign friends who have used them all say good things!"
"Besides, you are right. The Canton Fair is indeed a trade conference for import and export commodities, but the rules and regulations do not say that we are not allowed to sell gas tanks at the Canton Fair, right?"
"Right? Just say it, right?"
"Besides, this foreign trade business is all about love, isn't it? We sell gas tanks, and the customer buys the gas tanks. We pay the money and deliver the goods. Isn't this a hit-and-miss relationship?"
"How can it cause all kinds of trouble?"
Director Li couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Wang Ye's sophistry. To be honest, Wang Ye was right. Who said gas tanks can't be sold at the Canton Fair? Gas tanks are not controlled products.
But the problem is, something always feels wrong!
"Wang Ye, there's no point in crying with me!"
"There is only one quota in our city, and it has been taken away by the Third Food Factory. There is no quota left!"
"Even if I dare to take on this responsibility and want you to go, there's no way I can do it!"
"This quota was approved by the National Economic Council, and our local government has no say in it."
Of course Wang Ye knew that Director Li was not lying to him, and what he said was not wrong. The head of the national economic and trade department is now the National Economic Commission. In the future, this department will be split into two, with one part becoming part of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the other part To become part of the Ministry of Commerce, it is indeed impossible for local governments to intervene. There are only as many seats as there are seats, which is certain.
But, everything is but.
Just a few seconds after the call fell into silence, Wang Ye coughed lightly and then said:
"Director Li, if you smoke a cigarette now, I respect you."
"Then I will use this cigarette time to tell you my fallacy. Do you think it makes sense?"
Hearing what Wang Ye said, Director Li on the other end of the phone immediately became happy and couldn't help but smile and said:
"Okay, okay, this is the first time I've heard of people offering cigarettes in the air. Okay, then I'll smoke one and you start talking."
"Let me hear your fallacy!"
Wang Ye briefly organized his thoughts, and then said with a smile:
"I have three fallacies in total, please listen."
"First, in my opinion, our biggest difficulties, contradictions, troubles, and problems have only one reason, and that is poverty! That is no money!"
"To put it bluntly, we now have patches on our butts and are so poor. As long as we don't steal or rob, how can we not earn money? We don't have green dollars to help us with anything. You Do you think this is true?"
"Second, the Canton Fair is a rare opportunity that only comes once a year. We are now open to the public, and we pay attention to the ability of the mediocre and the inferior. After all, we are also the model of foreign exchange earning for our Yuntai City and even our Luqi Province. I cannot boast too much. Bar?"
"In that case, why can't we go? Let's take the Third Food Factory. How much foreign exchange can they earn by selling wild vegetables?"
"If we are allowed to go, I can issue a military order right now. I will guarantee a minimum of 10 million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange. If we exceed this amount, we will not say anything. If we do not reach it, you will subsidize us at a rate of 10 to 1 no matter how much foreign exchange we earn." That’s fine, the remaining 30% will be considered as the office subsidy I give to the municipal and provincial committees.”
"Article 3, I know that the quotas are determined by the State Economic and Trade Commission, but the total quotas are allocated to the provinces, and then the provinces allocate them to the cities. The reason why our Yuntai only has one quota is because there were no jobs last year and the year before that. It’s my foreign exchange earning unit!”
"But this year the situation is different. Our Red Star Machinery Factory has stepped up and deserves an extra spot, don't you think?"
"Besides, according to me, going to the Canton Fair is also a semi-assigned task. There are many factories that don't want to go. Many of them are coaxed by various municipal and provincial committees to go."
"So, since they don't want to go, why not give the places evenly to us, right?"
After Wang Ye finished speaking, Director Li's cigarette was only half burned, because he was too busy listening to Wang Ye's words and had no time to smoke!
At this moment, Director Li has actually been convinced by Wang Ye's fallacies. Indeed, as Wang Ye said, the quotas for the Canton Fair are indeed distributed by the Yanjing Economic and Trade Commission to the province and then to the city.
And these quotas must be used, otherwise the Canton Fair will be empty, which will be a big problem. However, the situation in each region is different. There may not be any units that earn foreign exchange at all. In this case, we can only make apportionments. If you are allowed to go, you have to go. !
If it's better, give it a little sweetness, if it's not good, just cut off the subsidy if you don't go, you have to go even if you go, and you have to go if you don't go!
In fact, the quota is easy to say. It is not very difficult for Director Li to go to the province to coordinate a quota. The key is that in Director Li's view, Wang Ye is secretly engaging in selling dog meat, but going to the Canton Fair will cause a big fuss. !
What if? What if?
But now, after hearing Wang Ye's "poverty theory" and "military order", Director Li was really moved!
If Wang Ye can really earn 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange, it will be an unimaginable achievement for the entire Yuntai City and the entire Luqi Province. All units that have anything to do with this foreign exchange will be able to enjoy the soup, let alone Director Li, the supervisor, definitely eats meat until his asshole becomes oily. It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can ascend to heaven like a chicken or a dog!
After all, as of the end of last year, China's entire foreign exchange reserves were only one billion US dollars!
It is said that money is attractive to the people and benefits are attractive to the eyes. How could Director Li not be tempted?
"Hoo! Hiss!"
In the office, the sitting Director Li adjusted his posture, first breathed a sigh of relief, then sucked half a cigarette in one gulp, slapped the table and said with a smile:
"Okay, done!"
"I will coordinate the quota for you right now."
"You kid, I feel like I'm on your pirate ship!"
"If something happens then, I think we can just go squat in the forest farm!"
"I will be the director, you will be the deputy director, and I will be responsible for cooking. We are the only ones in the entire forest farm, and you will be responsible for tinkering with your fire protection equipment. We are considered professional counterparts, hahaha!"
Regarding Director Li's statement, Wang Ye laughed and said:
"I think it will work. I'll give it a try when the time comes!"
"Then let's make an agreement. I'll wait for your good news."
Then the two of them hung up the phone without exchanging greetings. Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say. Whether it would work in the end could only depend on the courage and courage of the leaders.
In the next two days, Wang Ye had no time to think about the Canton Fair.
Because after a week of engine durability testing, it was initially determined that the engine was stable and reliable, so the first rotorcraft in the machinery factory began to be assembled!
July 9th, the weather was fine.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Ye was in his office, in front of a group of people, tore off the thin piece of paper representing yesterday on the small wall calendar, breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously:
"Today is an important day."
"This is an important day for our Red Star Machinery Factory to step from the ground into the sky!"
"He was born in the Kunlun Mountains. He saw all the spring scenery in the world, and three million jade dragons flew up, making the whole world feel chilly!"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
With Wang Ye's voice, everyone present suddenly became excited, waving their fists and shouting for departure, and then filed away and went straight to the aircraft assembly workshop, where the first rotorcraft had been assembled.
"Kakaka"
The morning sun was like gold. With the efforts of two workers, the workshop door was slowly pushed open, revealing the rotorcraft inside!
"Push it out!"
Along with Wang Ye's voice, the workers were busy. After a while, the rotorcraft was slowly pushed out of the workshop. It couldn't even be said to have an overall color, because almost all it could see with the naked eye was a steel pipe structure.
Even in order to reduce weight to the greatest extent, the seats under the buttocks of the two passengers only have a wooden board the size of a bicycle seat.
There are only three "surfaces" in the entire rotorcraft, which are the lift propeller above the head, the power propeller behind, and the horizontal and vertical rudder surfaces behind the propeller.
The most eye-catching thing is the "wings" of the metal frame structure on both sides of the rotorcraft, which extend about 80 centimeters from left to right, and special hooks of the mechanical structure can be seen on them.
"Director!"
Accompanied by a voice, Wang Ye turned his head and looked.
I saw the technical section chief and Lao Chen, the former car mechanic and now engine engineer, each carrying a tray with a big red flower on it. The new fabric was obviously newly made.
"call!"
Wang Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, picked up the first big red flower, stepped forward and tied a red cloth strip to the nose of the rotorcraft. Originally, Wang Ye did not do this part, but he couldn't resist the old man. The factory director and others had no influence anyway. In the end, Wang Ye nodded in agreement.
When Wang Ye hung the big red flower on the rotorcraft, he saw a young man in convenient clothes jogging to the side of the rotorcraft. He stood there with his head held high and his eyes straight. It was Chen Hang who used to work in the engine workshop. , that confident young man.
"Director! It's my turn!"
Then he said in a loud voice.
Wang Ye turned his head and saw Lao Chen, Chen Hang's father, who was holding the second tray. His eyes were red at this moment, and he looked like he was trembling all over. He looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Are you sure? Although gyroplanes are very safe aircraft, nothing can happen."
"You are just one of the many engineers of the engine. Testing is not your job, and there is no need for you to do it just to show off."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Wang Ye patted his shoulder and said this. Unexpectedly, Chen Hang suddenly laughed and actually asked Wang Ye:
"Director, do you know what my original name was?"
Wang Ye was stunned and shook his head, while Chen Hang smiled and said:
"Before elementary school, my name was Chen Bing."
"But one summer vacation in elementary school, I happened to follow everyone to the Guomaoshan Station and saw fighter jets."
"I will tell my dad when I get back that I want to change my name to Chen Hang."
"Because that day, I remembered a word called aviation soldier. I think it is much more powerful than my single name 'soldier'. However, I never told my father about this reason. I even got beaten many times because of changing my name. One beating.”
"So, I just reported to you a few days ago that I must fly the gyrocopter for the first time!"
"Please allow me!"
At that moment, Wang Ye was silent, and everyone at the scene was silent. Finally, Wang Ye turned around and looked at Lao Chen, but Lao Chen couldn't see anymore, and his face was covered with snot and tears.
Under Wang Ye's gaze, he suddenly said "hey" and shouted with trembling all over:
"There are no cowards in our old Chen family! Fuck you!"
After saying that, he handed the plate directly to Wang Ye, then picked up the big red flower by himself, walked over and put it on his son, then turned around and could no longer suppress it, sobbed and walked into the workshop.
At 9 a.m., visibility was high and southeasterly wind was level 2 on the ground.
On the huge hardened open space in front of the workshop, thousands of people were already watching in the distance. The rotorcraft was parked in the middle. Chen Hang was sitting inside alone. More than fifty meters away, Wang Ye shouted:
"The first test flight, the mission target left the ground and rose no more than two meters!"
"take off!"
In an instant, the roar of the engine resounded throughout the sky!
