Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 236: Friendship
The so-called having to be allocated to other units is that as some products of the steel rolling mill became popular, some local machinery factories also imitated these products in order to obtain plans and tasks.

This led to the proliferation of the same products, and even the State Planning Commission had a headache assigning tasks.

This is also one of the reasons why many factories have undergone massive downsizing.

Moreover, the application of CNC machine tools has not yet been popularized, at least not in China.

When CNC machine tools become popular, more workers will be laid off and unemployed, which will be another troublesome problem.

"To put it bluntly, this task is mainly for us to save ourselves. If we can revive the factory ourselves as a pilot, there will definitely be benefits in the future. However, the difficulty may be very great." Xiang Xuemin said.

"This is really embarrassing. Our state-owned factory has always relied on work from the Planning Commission. If we are asked to do it ourselves, we have no experience at all," said Wang Xijun.

"It's not just our factory that has no experience. Who in the whole country has experience now? But since our superiors have given us this task, we have to give it a try. What if we can succeed?" Yang Zhizhou said.

"Director, I remember the Spring Canton Fair is about to start, right?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"That's right. What's the matter? Do you have any ideas?" Yang Zhizhou looked at Yang Zhenyu and asked.

"I do have an idea. See if you can send our factory in. If possible, I can lead a team over to try." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"It shouldn't be a problem if we send it in. After all, our superiors have given us the task. If we can give it a try, that would be a good thing. But are you sure?" Yang Zhizhou said after a moment of hesitation.

“I’m definitely not sure, but if I don’t try, I’ll always feel unwilling.” Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, let's give it a try. After the meeting, I will go to my superiors to apply for it." Yang Zhizhou is also a decisive person. He immediately gritted his teeth and agreed.

The main thing is that you have to be decisive. At this time, the superiors have given you the task. How can you not find a way to solve it?

Moreover, if this matter is accomplished, it is all thanks to the factory leaders.

The failure was also the fault of Yang Zhenyu, the chief engineer.

For Yang Zhenyu, it is time to start planning.

Participating in the Canton Fair is a good opportunity, at least you can get in touch with many people, including some businessmen from home and abroad.

In this way, there will be a good channel in the future.

Yang Zhenyu had already thought about it. When the restructuring takes place in the future, he would just quit his current cadre job and retain his status as a university teacher. He could then devote the rest of his attention to the enterprise and make it bigger and stronger.

For any business, the most important thing is not the product but the channel.

Only when the channels are opened can good products have a better sales channel.

Director Yang acted quickly. He communicated with his superiors within a few days and got the admission ticket. The rest was to pack the equipment and deliver it to the venue.

"Engineer Yang, why did you think of leading the team yourself?" Sales Section Chief Xu Haichao asked curiously to Yang Zhenyu, who was riding with him.

"We have to give it a try. Who in our factory knows our products better than me?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"That's right. These products are really thanks to you, Engineer Yang. Even the various upgrades so far are all done by Engineer Yang." Xu Haichao said.

“So, maybe I can impress the customers more? Especially those foreign businessmen, who might want to talk to the designer more.” Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

In fact, whether it is agricultural machinery, drilling machines, or excavators, they have been constantly upgraded over the years.

Both performance and energy consumption were upgraded, and all of this was done under the leadership of Yang Zhenyu. The Canton Fair during this period was held at the Liuhua Exhibition Hall, and Yang Zhenyu and his team participated in the first phase of the exhibition as a mechanical company.

During this period, there were no import matters, and the main focus was on exports, and those involved were mainly local commerce bureaus and other units.

As for individual enterprises, they can only send representatives to participate in the exhibition, while the dominant power lies with the Bureau of Commerce and the Planning Commission.

"Is this the venue? It's so grand!"

Some of the female comrades have really never traveled far. If the factory had not had its own independent exhibition area this time, so many people would not have come.

"We have only just arrived. Let's go over and contact the venue to see how our equipment can be brought in."

Although the products that Yang Zhenyu and his team brought with them are not large-scale equipment, they cannot be considered small equipment either. They need to be properly handled when they enter the site, otherwise problems may easily arise.

The equipment is brought in, the exhibition is set up, and then you become familiar with the venue and the various processes.

These tasks were nothing for Yang Zhenyu, but for the female comrades who went out for the first time, they were a little confused.

"Comrades, you have all worked hard these past two days. Let's get off work early today and walk around the neighborhood together to see what the differences are between southern cities and our old city." Yang Zhenyu said to everyone.

"it is good!"

Several people were very excited.

This time, in addition to Yang Zhenyu and Xu Haichao from the Sales Department, there were also several female comrades from the Sales Department and several female comrades from the Factory Office.

They are all tall, good-looking, and speak very gently.

As for the purpose, of course it is to attract foreign investors.

It’s a pity that these days, women in China are still relatively conservative.

Otherwise, pairing it with black high heels would create a beautiful scene.

"It's really hot here, but it doesn't look that different from where we are," said a female comrade.

"How can it not be big? We are just wandering around the venue and haven't gone far. The difference between the north and the south is still quite large." Xu Haichao said.

"There are indeed differences. The breakfast and afternoon teas are different, and the portions are so small, not enough to eat."

"That's right. Even though I'm a woman, it's still not enough to eat."

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to get more tickets from the factory, otherwise, we would really have to starve." Yang Zhenyu said jokingly.

"Haha, the way Mr. Yang looked when he paid the money, if you didn't know him, you would really think he was a capitalist." A female comrade said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense like that." Xu Haichao glared at the female comrade and said.

"I was just kidding." The female comrade stuck out her tongue and said.

"There's no need to make a big deal out of it. We are all working class, and we are all the same." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.
