Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 244 Honeypot!

Originally, we were talking to France about the introduction of four trucks and technologies from Ballier Company. In fact, in 63, Leader Zhou went abroad to visit and specifically visited Ballier's factory. Because the Soviet Union has cut off the import of our heavy trucks, our army is seriously short of heavy transport and tractors!

The medium-sized and heavy-duty trucks produced by Bellier Company are all urgently needed in our country and can fill this gap in the country. At that time, preliminary discussions were started on the introduction of them.

However, the first asking price of the French Bellier Company was too expensive at that time! Just a few hundred imported trucks and the corresponding technology cost more than 1000 million U.S. dollars, and that doesn't even involve the production line. We really can't afford it.

为什么买不起？因为咱们从60年61年这两年咱们国家都动用了国家金银储备进口粮食，黄金81万两，白银1亿4千万两！

In order to import food, the People's Bank of China smelted all the gold and silver jewelry stored in it and exported it.

And because we have limited foreign exchange, in addition to using US$6000 million in cash to buy 33 tons of barley and 77 tons of wheat from Canada, we also borrowed an additional 1 million Canadian dollars from Canada to import grain, and later also borrowed money from Australia.

Do you know how we spent those three years?

Until now, our country imports an average of 500 million tons of wheat every year

Therefore, after two years of delay, we took the opportunity of the formal establishment of diplomatic relations with France in January last year to restart negotiations for the introduction of Bellier truck technology.

At the end of last year, the result of negotiations between the two parties was that Bellier Company transferred four basic models including GBU15, GLM, T25, and TBO to China, as well as three supporting engine-related manufacturing technologies, for a price of US$800 million.

Then the related machine tool processing equipment will be solved by Bellier Company. The price of this part is 600 million US dollars.

A total of 1400 million US dollars!

It was supposed to be finalized during our participation in the Paris Expo in May, but it turned out that because Team Leader Fang of the technology import team discovered the engine and gearbox technologies designed by Gu Weijun, he suddenly thought about whether it could be used as a bargaining chip to save the country money. It took two months.

When the officials present heard that it could help the country save foreign exchange, they immediately agreed!

This is definitely a win for the country!

Nothing to say! arrange!

On the night of July 7st, Gu Weijun’s travel position was decided, and he would accompany him as an interpreter!

Good guy, as soon as the trip and position were finalized, Gu Weijun was immediately called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for emergency training!

Originally, Gu Weijun thought he would be trained in various social etiquette, dining etiquette, speech etiquette, all kinds of careful words and deeds, etc.

Unexpectedly, when waiting for the training, most of the content was various confidentiality regulations.

Other etiquette is just passed by, and the training is basically just a general outline. The rest is just one sentence, just do as the Romans do!

This made Gu Weijun sigh, our Chinese people are so excited at this time! Whether it's North Korea or Vietnam, they really show off their great powers!

What surprised Gu Weijun even more was that the state specially equipped him with a long woolen coat for this trip!

Oh, this is good stuff! Gu Weijun tried to do it for a long time but couldn't get it! I bought a flight jacket before, but it was such a failure!

Wealth that does not return home is like walking in brocade at night!

When Gu Weijun returned to the Nanluoguxiang courtyard wearing a woolen coat, the courtyard was filled with excitement!

This is something only a general can wear, right?

"Look at this material, how delicate it is!" The third uncle's eyes almost stuck to his coat. He followed Gu Weijun to the middle courtyard, looking reluctant to leave, as if his beloved girl had been taken away. !

Other people in the courtyard also had bright eyes, and they unanimously exclaimed: "Chief Gu! You are the one!" They all gave a thumbs up!

Gu Weijun was surrounded by people returning to his home in the backyard. Gu's mother also liked the coat worn by her eldest son! First he touched this and then that with his hands, then he found a measuring tape and started measuring. Then he nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that my eldest son is taller! How much extra fabric is there!"

Then the conversation changed, which startled Gu Weijun, "Okay, take it off!"

"I'll change it into a shorter one for you, and the extra fabric will be enough to make a woolen jacket for your dad!"

"Mom!" Gu Weijun quickly stopped Gu Weijun, "This is what the country did for me because it wanted to arrange for me to go abroad!"

"I'll have to wear it again if I go abroad again from now on!"

"Don't do it impulsively!"

"Tsk, tsk!" Gu Ma sighed regretfully, "What a pity! Only such good materials can be used to make such a dress!"

Then Ma Gu realized what she was doing, her eyes widened, "What? You are going abroad!"

"Did you make a mistake?" Gu Ma immediately turned around and picked up the feather duster, pointing at Gu Weijun, "Tell me, what mistake did you make?"

"Otherwise, why would the country arrange for you to go abroad?"

Gu Weijun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's a work arrangement!"

"What kind of job it is, I can't tell you for confidentiality reasons!" Mama Gu was stunned! After a while, he continued to ask: "Aren't you just in college? Why would the country arrange for you to go out?"

"Obviously there are still so many capable people."

"Oops! Is it cold abroad? I'll pack your luggage quickly! Do you still need to prepare dry food?" Gu Ma threw the feather duster on the dining table and hurriedly prepared to pack Gu Weijun's luggage!

"Mom!" Gu Weijun quickly stopped, "The temperature abroad is similar to ours, so just prepare two changes of clothes! I packed them all at Beichizi Street!"

"There is no need to prepare dry food, the country will prepare it!"

"Oh~~" Gu Ma sat at the dinner table a little disappointed, with a worried look on her face, "Where are you going? Is it far?"

When Gu’s mother learned that her son had been arranged by the country to go abroad for exchange, instead of being happy, she became extremely anxious!

Abroad, all capitalist countries are in dire straits! Dragon's Pond and Tiger's Den!

What can you do with your little body? Who can you free? Isn't there any danger?

Gu Ma's performance reminded Gu Weijun of a saying, when everyone thinks you are glamorous, only your parents are worried about your health and safety!

Gu Weijun smiled and patiently told Gu's mother about the country he was going to this time. France is a European country! An old capitalist power established diplomatic relations with our country last year.

When Gu's mother learned that this country was a member of the Eight-Power Allied Forces that invaded us, she immediately forgot about her son's safety and said to Gu Weijun fiercely: "Dajun, after you go, see if there is any chance!"

"These countries must pay the price!"

"We Chinese people have to stand up now!"

"Let them know that we Chinese are not easy to mess with!"

Gu Weijun agreed with a smile! But why do the last two sentences sound so familiar?

Finally I took out the little notebook I had recorded for a long time. Oops, there are quite a lot of things recorded!

Especially during the recent research and optimization of the production process of 493 engines and automobiles, too many problems have been discovered!

Metallurgical! For machine tools! Mechanical! There are also fuel engines

These technologies need breakthroughs!

Isn't this a coincidence?

We must fully study, understand and draw on the excellent knowledge from abroad!

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to get some more things when flies and insects can't fly in, will we be worthy of our iron-clad body?

When the time comes to reopen, for the sake of technology, we will shout the slogan "market for technology!" But we have opened up the market, but the technology has not improved yet. Instead, flies and bugs came in first!

Alas, it’s a pity that I don’t have a travel itinerary now. Should we go to London?

British Museum, I have admired you for a long time!

　There are some plots mentioned above. The main thing I want to write about is that our country worked hard to survive the difficulties in those three years. I have read many periodicals before, but I don’t seem to have mentioned it.
