Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 136 Valuable Slag!
Wu Aiguo rode back to the supply and marketing cooperative, took the lunch box to the cafeteria to eat, but just as he walked to the door of the cafeteria, he met Director Jiang who came out of the cafeteria.

"Aiguo! Where did you go just now?" Director Jiang asked Wu Aiguo with a smile when he saw Wu Aiguo holding a lunch box in his hand.

Wu Aiguo heard Director Jiang's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Director Jiang! I just had something to do, so I went out to do something."

"Patriotic! Director Yang of the rolling mill called me this morning and said that he would invite you to dinner at the rolling mill tonight." Upon hearing Wu Aiguo's answer, Director Jiang immediately told Wu Aiguo that Director Yang had invited him to dinner.

When Wu Aiguo heard the news that Director Jiang told him, he smiled and asked Director Jiang: "Director Jiang! When will we go there? When the time comes, please let me know if you are excited, and I will go there with you."

When Director Jiang heard Wu Aiguo's question, he nodded with a smile, and replied, "Okay! Aiguo! I'll send someone to notify you when I leave."

Hearing Director Jiang's words, Wu Aiguo nodded with a smile, and replied, "Okay! Director Jiang, then I'll wait for your notice."

After lunch, Wu Aiguo returned to the office. Li Xiangdong walked into the office from the outside and asked Wu Aiguo with a smile, "Aiguo! Where did you go this morning? I came to look for you twice, but I couldn't find you?"

Hearing Li Xiangdong's question, Wu Aiguo stood up from his desk and asked with a smile, "Section Chief Li! I have something to do in the morning, so I went out to do it. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Hearing Wu Aiguo's question, Li Xiangdong smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Patriotic! Isn't tomorrow a weekend? Lao Guo from the coal yard, in order to thank you for helping them get unplanned food, I would like to invite you to have a light meal tonight. "

When Wu Aiguo learned about Li Xiangdong's purpose, he remembered that Director Yang wanted to treat him to dinner that night, and said with regret: "Chief Li! It's really unlucky. I just met Director Jiang when I was eating in the cafeteria. ."

"Director Jiang told me that in the evening, Director Yang of the steel rolling mill invited me to dinner at the rolling mill, and asked me to go to the rolling mill for dinner with him."

Li Xiangdong was very surprised to learn that Director Yang invited him to dinner. He smiled and said to Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! Since you are going to the rolling mill with Director Jiang, I will call Lao Guo later. Let him make an appointment another day.”

Hearing Li Xiangdong's words, Wu Aiguo smiled and said to Li Xiangdong: "Section Chief Li! When you call Director Guo, you must remember to say sorry to him for me."

At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo, Director Jiang, and Director Xiao from the office rode bicycles to the gate of the steel rolling mill.

"Section Chief Wu! You are here. Our factory manager Yang is already waiting for you in the office." The three of them had just arrived at the gate of the rolling mill. Captain Huang, who had already been waiting at the gate of the factory, saw Wu Aiguo's arrival , and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Wu Aiguo heard Captain Huang's words, and quickly introduced to Captain Huang: "Captain Huang! Let me introduce you. This is Director Jiang from our supply and marketing cooperative, and this is Director Xiao from the office of our supply and marketing cooperative."

After Wu Aiguo's introduction, he turned to introduce to the two of them: "Director Jiang! Director Xiao! This is Captain Huang from the security department of the steel rolling mill. He and I can be considered comrades who have been on the battlefield together."

Upon hearing Wu Aiguo's introduction, Captain Huang greeted the two of them politely: "Director Jiang! Director Xiao! Welcome to our rolling mill as guests."

Director Jiang shook hands with Captain Huang, and said with a smile, "Captain Huang! It's a pleasure to meet you."

Accompanied by Captain Huang, the three of them walked into the rolling mill together. At this moment, a scene not far away attracted Wu Aiguo's curiosity.

Not far from the gate of the rolling mill, Wu Aiguo saw several middle-aged men in suits standing in front of a pile of waste, chatting with great interest.

When Wu Aiguo saw this scene, he curiously asked Captain Huang who was traveling with him: "Captain Huang! Those people don't seem to be from our country."

Captain Huang heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, looked at several middle-aged people not far away, and introduced to Wu Aiguo with a smile: "Section Chief Wu! There are so many strange things these years. He came to our rolling mill in the morning and said he wanted to use foreign exchange to buy waste residue from our factory.”

When Wu Aiguo heard the situation introduced by Captain Huang, he immediately remembered what happened in later generations.

In the early 70s, not long after China and Dongying resumed diplomatic relations, Dongying people made a strange request to us to buy slag from a steelmaking company in China at a high price.

When Huaxia's high-level executives heard the request from the Dongying people, they felt that there must be a monster if something abnormal happened. How could the always shrewd Dongying people be willing to make a loss-making business?How about asking a high price to buy worthless slag?
At that time, someone asked whether the Dongying people had mastered some kind of technology to turn this pile of slag into treasure. In the end, the high-level officials made a decision that disappointed the Dongying people, refused to sell the slag, and sealed the slag.

The Huaxia executives originally thought that after rejecting the Dongying people, the Dongying people would pester them endlessly, but they did not expect that the Dongying people still remembered those slags and offered to buy them at a high price several times.

The Dongying people are naturally unprofitable. The more they are like this, the higher-ups in Huaxia understand that these slags are not simple, so they arrange special scientific research personnel to analyze these slags, and finally find that these slags contain rare earths. Minerals and Fluorite Minerals.

Thinking of this incident, Wu Aiguo asked Captain Huang curiously: "Captain Huang! Don't we have diplomatic relations between Huaxia and Dongying? Why did Dongying people come to your rolling mill to buy slag?"

Captain Huang heard Wu Aiguo's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Section Chief Wu! What our country lacks most now is foreign exchange, and these Dongying people have a lot of foreign exchange in their hands. They are willing to give us foreign exchange. Naturally, the people above are Willing to welcome them."

When Wu Aiguo learned the reason why these Japanese people appeared here, he immediately asked Captain Huang: "Captain Huang! Is the ore used for steelmaking in your steel rolling mill shipped from Baotou?"

Captain Huang had a surprised expression on his face when he heard Wu Aiguo's introduction, and asked, "Section Chief Wu! How do you know that the ore used in our factory is shipped from Baotou?"

Wu Aiguo heard Captain Huang's question and saw Captain Huang's surprised expression, and finally confirmed the purpose of these Dongying people buying slag, and said seriously: "Captain Huang! These slags must not be sold to those Dongying people. Let's go to Director Yang immediately."

Captain Huang felt a little baffled when he heard Wu Aiguo's words. When he saw Wu Aiguo's serious expression, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Long office walk.
