The next day!
Early in the morning, leaders of the Saibei Provincial Government held a grand welcome ceremony for foreign guests Iverson and others at the Ningshi Railway Station!
The welcome ceremony was of high standard. Not only were the relevant leaders of Saibei Province and Ning City present in person, but media reporters filmed the entire process.
Seeing this scene, Yang Xiunan and others in the crowd couldn't help but feel a little emotional!
Saibei Province really handles these foreign guests very well. When they fall out, they don't recognize their relatives. When they get what they want, they immediately warmly welcome them.
If he hadn't personally participated in the negotiations between the two parties yesterday, it would be really unimaginable that the two sides were still at war with each other before.
Yang Xiunan was not the only one who was feeling complicated. Iverson and others also felt as if they had eaten dead flies.
Last night he personally negotiated with Deputy Director An next to him, and the result allowed him to once again see the wisdom and courage of this ancient oriental country.
Of course, he actually always felt that the real negotiating opponent was not the old man, but the young translator next to him.
At the beginning of the negotiation, the other party's attitude was beyond imagination.
In order to gain the other party's understanding, he first proposed various compensation conditions, and then also proposed to apply for a batch of spare key parts for them from the headquarters on the grounds of transportation losses.
You must know that these key parts cannot be purchased individually. Even if they are purchased, the price is extremely expensive.
But even so, Iverson has never been able to satisfy the other party.
In the end, with no choice but to follow Sam's suggestion, he proposed to upgrade the equipment for the other party and increase the production capacity to 1.5 times the original.
At the same time, they also handed over all the newly developed technical information to the other party, hoping to gain the other party's understanding.
After he fully revealed his last trump card, the young man reluctantly agreed to resolve the matter with them privately instead of through diplomatic channels.
But just when Iverson thought the matter was settled, the other party once again put forward additional conditions.
First, the other party asked them to return the 530,000 yuan extorted from those two provinces without any reason.
Secondly, they need to apply for a batch of key parts and components from the head office on the grounds of transportation losses.
Iverson calculated privately that these parts would cost almost five million US dollars.
This was not over yet. The other party also asked them to help train the industrial workers in the fertilizer plant until they could skillfully operate these machines and equipment.
To be honest, after hearing these conditions, Iverson's first reaction was to curse!
But there is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!
One side is career prospects and life safety, the other side is company interests.
If you were a Chinese, you might think carefully before making your choice.
But for Iverson and others, this is almost no need to consider.
In desperation, they can only choose to agree to each other's conditions.
But the only thing that comforted Iverson was that the young man assured him that they would keep it secret for him and would try their best to say good things for them.
At the same time, when they complete their mission and evacuate from Saibei Province, everyone in the team will receive a reward of US$10,000 from the Saibei Provincial Government.
In the words of the young man, the money they extorted from the other two people was ill-gotten wealth. It was obtained on the basis of deceiving the country and its people, and should be returned!
But the reward for completing the task is their legal income!
This practice of giving a stick to a sweet date really made Iverson feel complicated.
After the welcome ceremony, 13 technicians, including Iverson, were sent to Fengxian Fertilizer Plant.
Subsequently, the machinery and equipment they brought were also unloaded from the train and then transported by car to the fertilizer plant.
Immediately afterwards, the entire installation work began in an orderly manner!
.......
In the following days, Zhou Yang, like Iverson and others, spent time in the fertilizer factory almost every day.
During the day, he helped the leaders of the fertilizer plant communicate with the staff of Meiliguo, and at night he had to help the technicians of Meiliguo train the employees and technicians of the fertilizer plant.
There was no way, after all, Zhou Yang was the only one who knew English at the fertilizer factory.
If he didn't help with translation, the technicians from Beautiful Country would not be able to communicate with the workers at the fertilizer factory.
That's not all. After returning to his residence, Zhou Yang still needs to find time to translate the equipment maintenance instructions brought by these people.
You must know that there are hundreds of types of equipment involved in a fertilizer production line, and each of these equipment has its own operating instructions and maintenance manuals, which need to be translated into Chinese by Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang calculated carefully and found that it would be impossible to translate all these things without half a million words.
At the same time, Zhou Yang also had to verify the authenticity of the new technologies mentioned by Iverson and others.
It was so easy to force the other party to expose his underwear, but he couldn't let them be deceived.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang was very accomplished in chemistry, so he was not fooled by these foreigners.
It's just that verifying these technologies is a meticulous job, and it is difficult for Zhou Yang to complete it alone.
In short, since things got on track, Zhou Yang has almost been used as three people, and he is as busy as a top, with his feet never touching the ground!
Since he was too busy by himself, Zhou Yang had no choice but to ask Director Huang to quickly bring in some more helpers!
However, his request stumped Director Huang!
You must know that the helper Zhou Yang wants is not just any person, but what kind of professional talents are needed.
Saibei Province is an absolutely poor province with young, old and border areas. There are few decent universities in the whole province. As for Ning City, let alone Ning City, there is only one normal college and no chemistry department.
Where can he find those professionals for Zhou Yang?
Just when he was struggling, Zhou Yang suddenly suggested to him that his old father could be transferred to the fertilizer factory to help.
The reason why Zhou Yang made this suggestion was both public and private!
You know, my father Zhou Yawen is the dean of the Chemistry Department of Beijing University, and his attainments in chemistry are among the best in the country.
And compared to his majoring in medicinal chemistry, his father's main research direction is chemical raw materials and chemical product manufacturing, which is absolutely the corresponding major for fertilizer manufacturing.
It would be a huge waste to leave such talents unused!
Zhou Yang believes that as long as his father can be transferred here, his pressure will definitely be relieved.
Of course, this is also done selfishly.
The living conditions at Dongquan Farm are still too harsh. Zhou Yang hopes that through this transfer, he can get his father out of Dongquan Farm as soon as possible.
He knew very well that his father's problems were not serious.
Even if he doesn't help, his father's problem will be properly solved in a few years.
However, Zhou Yang didn't want his parents to suffer in that desolate place for another four or five years.
If his father could be transferred to the fertilizer factory, he would definitely be reused based on his professional knowledge, which would also help restore his reputation and job in the future.
PS: There is an event held in the province today. Lao Cang is one of the people in charge. He is really busy and can only take the time to update. Sorry!
