Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

After Chen Tao finished his call with his student Liang Sisen, he called home.

"Not coming back? Xiaohui, if you can't finish your work, you can bring it back to do. Why don't you go home? You don't know, when I just went to work today, a teacher named Pei asked me to write a notice. How can I write this? I just came to work! She was targeting me!"

Cheng Kaiyan first complained that her husband did not come home to be with her, and then talked about what happened in the bureau today. Her words implied that she wanted Chen Tao to go and say hello.

Obviously, she didn't take Cheng Laodeng's words to heart.

After listening to this, Chen Tao did not comment and fell silent.

After a while, he said:

"Kitty, it's really inconvenient to work from home. I can't go back, so you should go to bed early. If you really can't write that notice, just leave it alone!"

With Sui Chunfeng here, what does it matter if Cheng Kaiyan doesn't write? Even if she doesn't write, she will be the first one to get it!

Mr. Pei could only be angry and finish the manuscript by himself. What else could he do?

Hearing her husband say this, Cheng Kaiyan felt a little uncomfortable and simply asked:

"Xiaohui~ Do you think I'm useless? Do you no longer have me in your heart?"

As her husband continued to improve, she asked this question more and more frequently, and her suspicion grew more and more serious.

Even if it was a female cat that got attached to her husband, she would be jealous.

Chen Tao, like Brother Chen, the boss of the Axe Gang, said weakly:
"Don't talk nonsense, kitten. You are my wife. How can I not have you in my heart?"

Cheng Kaiyan didn't believe him, but still said happily:

"Xiaohui, I know you still have me in your heart, you are the best to me!"

Chen Tao didn't believe her either. Knowing that her husband treated her best, why would she help her family to plot against her husband?

Is there anything that cannot be discussed openly between husband and wife?
But he still smiled and said, "We are a family, it's only right for me to treat you well!"

We are a family.

Song Yunhui mentioned and emphasized this sentence repeatedly, but only said half of it.

What he actually meant was that, Cheng Kaiyan, you can't just think about your parents, brother and sister-in-law who are also family members. I am your husband, and you have to consider me too.

And what about Cheng Kaiyan? She never understood it from the beginning to the end, or she understood it but didn’t agree with it.

I just helped you get a good job, why didn't I consider you? Didn't my dad support you in the beginning?
Not only are you okay, you've even been promoted!
White-eyed wolf!
When Cheng Kaiyan heard her husband say that he wanted to be nice to her again, she immediately brought up the old matter again:

"Then can you think of a way to solve my brother's job as soon as possible? He has been worried recently, and my dad is worried too."

Chen Tao sighed, "Your brother is now the deputy secretary of the workshop, which is also considered to be at the department level. It is really difficult to arrange a job at this level. You should be patient!"

After hearing this, Cheng Kaiyan didn't know what to say, so she gave Chen Tao a few words of advice, asking him not to stay up late, and ended the call.

Afterwards, she called her father again and relayed Chen Tao's words.

At this moment, her brother Cheng Qianli was also at her father's place. When he heard the country bumpkin brother-in-law's evasiveness, he immediately became unhappy and said:
"If it weren't for our family, how could Song Yunhui be where he is today? A crappy technician from the countryside! An ungrateful bastard!"

Cheng's mother quickly closed the door: "Keep your voice down, the child is not asleep yet!"

Not only did Cheng Qianli not listen to the advice, he became even more angry, "I don't care about him! Do you really want to be a nanny for that Song guy?"

From this, it can be seen that the two elders of the Cheng family have ulterior motives in helping to take care of their granddaughter.

Cheng Laodeng had a gloomy face, and kept calculating in his mind. At the same time, he stopped his son:

"Okay, go home and rest when you're full, and don't make a fuss here! As for Song Yunhui, I'll think of another way."

Neither of his two children is a worry-free one!

Can you just say such nonsense? I'm used to saying it. What should I do if I let it slip next time in front of others?
Mud can't hold up the wall!

Unfortunately, no matter how bad his child is, he is his only son. If he doesn’t help him, who else will?
Cheng Qianli retorted: "He doesn't want to help, what can we do?"

Lao Deng glared at him and said, "Then do it yourself!"

Cheng Qianli was speechless for a moment. If he had the ability to command his brother-in-law, would he still need his father and sister to help?

But he still said stubbornly: "Anyway, it was you who promised Yuan Xiang that you would transfer both of us to the Donghai Purchasing Department. If this cannot be done, go and tell her yourself."

Yuan Xiang is his wife, who is also stupid, evil and greedy. She is a perfect match for him.

Cheng Laodeng said nothing, but just stared at his son Cheng Qianli, feeling extremely angry. He was angry at his son-in-law for being ignorant, and also hated his son-in-law for being ruthless.

Seeing that the father and son were angry with each other, Cheng's mother drove her son away first, and then discussed with her husband how to make her son-in-law submit.

The dimly lit study seemed even darker.

early morning.

Cheng Kaiyan got up, washed, but instead of making breakfast, she called her husband at the factory.

Unfortunately no one picked up.

My mood suddenly became bad.

But she still had to go downstairs and take the seven o'clock bus to go to work in the city.

At the Port Authority Station, she met Sui Chunfeng as expected.

Sui Chunfeng became even more enthusiastic.

On his side, Chen Tao also got up early, came out of the lounge, and took a walk around the factory.

Because he often works late at night, he has a dedicated lounge in the factory.

When he came yesterday morning, he brought some spare clothes and daily necessities with him.

As for food and drink, what does the factory have?
At 8:15, after breakfast, Chen Tao returned to the office.

After a while, Fang Ping said that there was a problem with the instrument, so he went there again.

pier.

When the factory director Ma Baoping learned that Chen Tao was too busy to come, he personally handled the issue of the workers' fight.

Actually it hasn’t been processed yet.

Because when Chen Tao solved the problem and returned to the office, his younger brother Jin Changxiao brought a report on the fight and asked Chen Tao to review it.

This is undoubtedly a double-minded person.

Does Ma Baoping know that he is coming?
Even if Ma Baoping knew, or even personally instructed him to come and let Chen Tao know about the relevant situation, he would never guess that he had already wanted to defect.

I have to say, it's really frustrating for Lao Ma to be the leader!
"Okay, put it here!"

Chen Tao held the book and spoke to Jin Changxiao without raising his head.

Jin Changxiao responded, put down the report with both hands, and then said with a nervous look and tone:
"If there's nothing else to do at Songchang, I'll go back to the dock first."

The reason why he was so nervous was, firstly, because according to rumors, Director Song was ruthless and did not get along with Director Ma, which naturally put pressure on Director Ma's faction;

The second reason was that he himself had evil intentions and wanted to betray Director Ma and get closer to Chen Tao.

This is no small matter and may affect the rest of his life.

"Wait." Chen Tao looked up and said, "Old Zhao is already writing a plan to optimize the port's transportation capacity. You should hurry up as well."

Upon hearing this, Jin Changxiao was immediately encouraged and said with a flattering smile, "I know. I'll send it to Factory Song as soon as I'm done."

Chen Tao nodded and continued reading his book.

Jin Changxiao picked up his safety helmet, turned around and left the office. When he reached the door, he looked back again.

In his opinion, he had the support of Director Ma and the encouragement of Director Song. It was just a small business, so shouldn't he be able to take control of it?

He is not young anymore, it's time for him to make progress!

***
After Jin Changxiao left, Chief Accountant Liu Yuhai walked in.

He came to tell Chen Tao that Ma Baoping was trying to win him over, hoping that he would support Jin Changxiao at the meeting.

The team at Donghai Factory consists of five people in total.

Liu Yuhai and Han Zegang are centrists, but that doesn't mean they are in the same group. They just don't stand between Chen Tao and Lao Ma.

On Lao Ma's side, besides himself, he also has Gao Xiangrong, who is in charge of administration, to support him.

On Chen Tao's side, he is the only one on the surface, but he has greater real power.

If Liu Yuhai supports Lao Ma, then the person in charge of the dock will undoubtedly lean towards Jin Changxiao.

Will Liu Yuhai support Lao Ma?
will not.

He is Director Lu's man and a secret supporter of Chen Tao.

Just now, when he was outside and saw Jin Changxiao coming out of Chen Tao's office, he had already thought of a lot of things.

But cannot confirm.

So he wanted to know whether Chen Tao had poached Lao Ma's girlfriend, and whether he should support Jin Changxiao himself?
He looked into Chen Tao's eyes and asked tentatively with a natural smile:
"...Actually, I think Lao Zhao is pretty good, but he was also at the scene of the fight last night and didn't seem to be able to handle it well."

Chen Tao also laughed and said, "After all, it was an emergency. If it wasn't handled properly, it shouldn't be blamed entirely on Lao Zhao."

Liu Yuhai was surprised: "So you support Lao Zhao? Lao Han also came to you?"

This guy sees everything clearly.

Chen Tao shook his head: "I can't make a choice for now, because I don't know much about either of them. I just see who comes up with the more suitable solution."

Liu Yuhai said, knowing that he had other ideas, so he expressed his opinion:

"I just said the same thing to Lao Ma. I'm just a finance major and I know nothing about technology. How can I know who's good? So I'll just follow the way you guys who work in technology invest..."

This statement is almost obvious.

Who is the technical guy? Chen Tao.

Who does Liu Yuhai support? Chen Tao.

Chen Tao nodded: "Then let's be realistic and look at the plan!"

Liu Yuhai nodded and brought up the issue of the second phase equipment budget.

The department has tentatively decided to use Japanese equipment.

Because now those developed Western countries are imposing embargoes, and Japan wants to make a fortune by finding a way out.

There is a precedent for this. They made many deals with the Soviet Union in the past and were severely criticized by the United States for this.

But as long as the money is in place, they will still only remember to eat and not to be beaten.

And they also know that the United States imposes an embargo on other countries only because it is afraid of hindering its own sales.

Later, the US Roda Company, with Liang Sishen as the negotiating representative, successfully reached a joint venture with the Donghai Factory? It made much more money than simply selling technology and equipment!
In fact, in Chen Tao's opinion, the reason why Luoda was necessary was to give Liang Sisen a chance to stay.

Roda is indeed good, but Germany's BASF and China's Total are not bad either, right?

In addition, the Japanese technology and equipment that the ministry wants to choose are not bad.

Although it is not the most advanced, it is relatively more controllable in terms of cost, and the distance is also short, making it very convenient for maintenance and replacement of parts.

As for the technological backwardness...

Even if they chose Luoda, they were unwilling to teach the most critical catalyst and automation technology to Donghai.

You still have to rely on your own research and development.

In this case, Luoda is by no means the only choice.

Although Japan is also very stingy, but through the two of them, Chen Tao may not be able to deal with Germany's BASF.

Isn’t this how Siemens was dealt with in later high-speed rail negotiations?

But in this case, his good student would probably suffer a great loss.

Of course, this is nothing. It is normal for a student to be inferior to his teacher. Just continue to follow him and study hard.

After talking about the budget, Liu Yuhai asked pessimistically:

"Director Song, I heard that those countries are imposing an embargo now? Can we really buy those equipment?"

Chen Tao said confidently: "Don't worry, the embargo will not last forever. Judging from the development trend of the global industrial chain, developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan will try to occupy the technological advantage and earn the most profits; and the production with low profits but important will be transferred to us. This is our opportunity! As long as we work hard, we can also move from low-end industries to high-end and make a lot of money with high technology. I personally think that things will change, perhaps at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, so you should spend some time on the budget and don't be perfunctory."

After hearing these words, Liu Yuhai was immediately filled with awe.

Although it seems that everyone knows these words in later generations, being able to come to such a conclusion at this moment undoubtedly shows a very high strategic vision.

Chen Tao continued, "I'm going to Beijing the day after tomorrow. I want to discuss the selection of equipment and technology for the second phase with Director Lu..."

Liu Yuhai nodded repeatedly: "Director Lu stands tall and has a far-sighted vision. We will not go wrong if we follow his decisions closely."

On the afternoon of the 20th, Chen Tao arrived at the Ministry of Chemical Industry.

Upon learning of Chen Tao's intention, Director Lu was puzzled: "German technology is good, but it is still under embargo. How can we buy it? Let's consider Japan for the time being!"

Chen Tao explained with a smile: "Even if we can't buy German products, we can still use the German side to lower the price on the Japanese side! To be honest, I have already contacted BASF through the embassy yesterday. If possible, I can go to inspect it tomorrow."

Director Lu was surprised and asked, "You are not kidding, are you? Do Lao Ma and the others know about this?"

Chen Tao said casually: "They are worrying about who will be in charge of the dock! They definitely can't take care of me for the time being. So, I don't want to trouble them. Please help me pick two people from the department to accompany me."

Pick two people to accompany you to Germany?
Pick someone to manage the dock for you!
Isn't this person you choose yours in the future? Song Yunhui is such a good guy, he seems to be rushing around, but he has a lot of thoughts in his mind!
Director Lu laughed and said, "Does this count as catching rabbits while catching grass?"

Chen Tao said seriously: "Not really, because I really want to find a professional, not an experienced person who wants to take advantage of me."

Director Lu raised his eyebrows, as if he knew what he was talking about. It was obvious that Liu Yuhai had called him.

He got back to the point: "I agree that you can go to Germany for inspection, but I'm afraid you can't go in the short term. The translators and experts who know the business are probably very busy."

"No, I know the technology and I know German well, I can do it by myself."

"Really?"

"I can make a call and introduce you to the head of BASF's Industrial Solutions division."
