A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 363 Camel, shall we begin our friendship ahead of schedule?

After grumbling and cursing, Minister Xia forced the Minister of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building to sign a date before leaving with the little idiot.

Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry outwardly cried for Xixi, but was still complaining to the Minister of the Foreign Coking Department, saying that he didn't help him out of consideration for their comradeship.

What could the head of the external department say? They were both his own flesh and blood. He could only comfort him by saying that at least the other party had signed the employment contract, and if there were any problems, he could just ask for help. It wasn't like they couldn't find anyone, and so on.

"To be honest, if I had a good soldier under my command, I wouldn't want someone else to take him away..."

"Yes, that makes sense. So..." After Minister Xia and the others disappeared from sight, Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building plopped down in a chair and began humming a little tune.

"Huh? This guy's face-changing seems to be even faster than mine?" The Minister of Foreign Trade looked astonished.

"That's why I wrote '2' like '1'!" The Minister of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building said, pointing to the dim hallway lights overhead. "Nine close calls and one oversight, humph, let's see who's the one who's the one who's missing the mark!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Is 1961 written as 2961?

The two ministers, whose titles both began with "foreign," exchanged a glance and then moved slightly away from this shameless person.

"Wang Zheng, is it possible that the foreign trade department is actually your best position? How about we switch?"

The Minister of Foreign Trade finished his scribbling and looked at his friend, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Are you kidding me? Your foreign trade department is just an empty shell. Besides selling other people's pots and pans, what else have you managed to get out there?"

"Coal! And textiles! Hmph, our textile department's light textile products are quite..." The Minister of Foreign Trade's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke, and his head drooped unconsciously.

Plop, two tiny water droplets landed on the notebook in front of him...

Eh! !

The bigwigs all sighed...

It's tough. Even though the bigwigs know that these raw material trades are at the very bottom of international trade, what can they do? What's more, China's "international trade" is actually just the exchange of goods within the alliance countries.

After thinking it over, the Minister of Foreign Trade looked at the "Rhubarb" export negotiation details he had just prepared and angrily drew a line across them.

"Let's go all out and start negotiating with 45% of the total debt to be repaid! If we don't get a piece of the pie, I'll be letting down my hardworking comrades!"

"Do your best! Don't force it..."

After the Minister of Foreign Affairs finished speaking, he stood up, an aura of authority spreading outwards. "Alright, we're leaving now. I've assigned a guard company outside. Not a single blackboard in this room can be smuggled out! The rest of you, sign the agreements as required, and emphasize discipline again!" "Yes, sir! We guarantee to complete the mission! If anything goes wrong! I'll offer my head!"

Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building had a resolute expression.

Just kidding, others have also survived countless hardships. They've all been through that world-famous long march before; they're all veterans! The radio station he set up back then was known as the Red Army's eyes and ears.

As a rare veteran with technical expertise, his vision was naturally exceptional. He knew that the code on those small blackboards was something that could change an entire industry, and it couldn't be taken lightly!

"Alright! It's up to you! Headquarters radio captain!"

The head of the external department nodded in satisfaction and personally helped Teacher Hua slowly leave.

"Huh?" The head of the outer section suddenly remembered something.

"That project at the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, it's yours, kid..."

"Hey Hey……"

"Tsk, they've all become sentient with all that fur on them!"

Speaking of becoming sentient, can this little guy actually attract lightning?

Teacher Hua smirked, wanting nothing more than to stay away from them.

Is this considered finding joy in hardship?

When the experts, who were so engrossed in the DOS program, finally wanted to ask questions, they discovered that Little Hair had vanished without a trace.

"Oh dear, Minister, why did you let him go?! He's stuck here, stuck in the middle, it's making me really upset!"

"Hey~, Rome wasn't built in a day, and the young man is still growing. You should all take a break and rest before continuing!" The Minister of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry wouldn't say that the little guy's parents had come and he was taken away, which would be too suffocating.

The esteemed figures, recalling Jiang Xia's empty body beneath his overcoat, nodded in agreement.

"We've learned enough today. Everyone go back and get a good rest, and then let's turn the little guy's ideas into reality!"

"it is good!"

The group looked longingly at the things on the blackboard and began to gather their belongings.

"Hey, Minister. Comrade Xiao Jiang is so skilled in electronics, why is he in the First Ministry of Machine Building? Could you transfer him to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building? Cross-departmental communication is really inconvenient!" Dr. Sid had been hoping to have a good chat with Xiao Dai Mao about the laser emitter, but now he'd missed another opportunity…

Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building had a dark expression: "Don't even mention it. How was I supposed to know that such a precious child would be born from that group of rough men wielding sledgehammers?"

"Uh, it's all about contributing to the motherland, regardless of department..."

"Communication won't be as troublesome anymore. He's signed the employment contract, so the review and approval processes will be simplified..."

Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building shook his head and walked out, muttering something under his breath: "So he doesn't want to be transferred? He can't be transferred!"

Tomorrow I'll learn the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands technique and then go find Xia Heizi to have a go. Does he think he can bully me just because I'm an office worker?

I want a rooster that lays golden eggs too...

Such low-pitched words.

Before I could even step out the door, I was stopped by a pair of hands.

"Uh, before we go, let's have a little lesson!"

"Ok?"

Secretary Liu from the steel rolling mill peeked out from behind the Minister of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, his face beaming with smiles.

"Teachers, there aren't many rules about secrecy, only ten major points and eighty-seven minor points. With your intelligence, shall we learn ten today?"

"what?"

"Hmph! I'll memorize it too! I even participated in the first draft of the secrecy rules!" Minister Wang of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry shook his domineering aura.

"Tsk, times have changed, sir. Yours was just two parts and 30 detailed rules back then..."

“As the minister, you should set an example. However, if you insist on barging out, I won't stop you... I'll just tattle on Ying's mother…”

When Ying's mother was mentioned, Minister Wang trembled. It wasn't out of fear, but mainly because...

Yeah, you know.

"You're getting less and less lovable! I used to piss and mix mud to make sugar figurines for you!"

Secretary Liu's face turned green: "You know it's mud, and you still made me put it in my mouth!"

"Wait, you're peeing... ugh..."

……

Jiang Family Courtyard.

Minister Xia patted Xiao Dai Mao on the shoulder: "Go back and get a good night's sleep. Go to the factory tomorrow afternoon."

"The car factory in Beijing has already finished several chassis. If there's nothing urgent, get a few of those wheeled vehicles you mentioned..."

"Well, the weather forecast predicts that this year's harvest will be similar to last year's, so we must prepare in advance. The excavators that were prepared earlier have all been deployed to various communes for water conservancy construction..."

"Okay! I'll get up early then!"

"No need, get some rest first. Getting the chassis here will be a hassle..."

After saying goodbye to the minister, Jiang Xia began to stroll around the courtyard.

"No, we can't keep up. Even if the workers didn't eat or drink, they couldn't produce that many construction machines in a short time."

"Sending it to other factories... is out of the question. Forget about lathes, they don't even have basic hydraulic presses. If they produce a bunch of defective products, it's better not to switch production at all!"

Data shows that there are currently 25.4 industrial enterprises in China, of which 2546 are purely machinery manufacturing enterprises. This number is further reduced by some workshops established by municipal party committees…

There aren't that many factories willing to "switch production".

This is one of the reasons why Yang Youning went to the train station to recruit people.

A proper factory isn't like something out of a game where you build a factory and products just keep flowing in. Skilled industrial workers are truly scarce!

A flurry of snowflakes fell from the branches of the jujube tree, landing on Jiang Xia's head and causing him to instinctively shrink back.

"Open source and reduce expenditure..."

"We've been cutting costs all along, so what about increasing revenue..."

Jiang Xia glanced at the list of countries to be visited that the Minister of Foreign Affairs had given him.

"Camel, let's start our friendship sooner!"
