Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Upon learning that Chen Jianye and Zhang Jungang were going to a big mall, Cao Chai and Long Qiwen also wanted to join them.

They had rested for an afternoon and were full of energy.

Since we had nothing to do in the evening, we decided to go shopping together to kill time.

The four of them walked together to the nearest shopping mall.

There were a lot of people coming in and out of the mall. Ordinary people were wearing casual clothes, while those with better financial conditions wore more fancy clothes.

There were also men in suits and ties, dressed like gentlemen, and wealthy women wearing gold and diamond jewelry.

The neon lights at the gate are bright and cars are parked in rows.

Chen Jianye saw the prosperity of the port city up close and personal.

In terms of economy alone, compared with the old city and the port city, it is like an undeveloped rural area.

"How is it? The port city is prosperous, right?"

Zhang Jungang asked.

"It is indeed prosperous. Everything here looks like a dream."

"It would be great if the city of Beijing were this prosperous."

Chen Jianye took over.

"Can we have such a prosperous day?"

Cao Chai's words were full of lack of confidence.

"Yes, we will. We are developing very fast now and will surpass Hong Kong City in the future."

Chen Jianye's tone was firm.

Zhang Jungang and the other two did not respond. Deep down, they had no confidence in surpassing Gangcheng.

The gap is too big.

The four followed the crowd into the mall.

What catches your eye is a wide variety of goods.

Chen Jianye scanned the goods one by one, wondering in his mind whether the steel rolling mill could make it, or whether the steel rolling mill could make a better product to replace the goods in front of him.

He walked very slowly, and Zhang Jungang and the other two also walked very slowly with him, occasionally opening their mouths to discuss something.

"This cookie is very delicious. I tried it last time and brought some to my wife and children. They all loved it."

Zhang Jungang pointed to a box of peach cakes and said.

"That candy is very sweet and has a milky flavor. I've never tasted such delicious candy in Beijing."

Cao Chai followed up.

"Have you ever eaten that mooncake? It has a lot of delicious ingredients in it, including rock sugar."

"The key is that the price is not expensive. I took five back home and couldn't help but eat two on the way."

Long Qiwen pointed to a box of mooncakes.

Apparently, they had been to the mall before to pick out gifts for their family.

Chen Jianye listened with a smile. If he returned to Beijing, he would bring gifts for his family.

"Comrade Jun Gang, are there any ways to make money in Gangcheng?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"You want to bring gifts for your family too, right?"

Zhang Jungang asked with a smile.

"Only food, drink and travel expenses are covered during our official trip. No other expenses are covered at all."

"I went to the dock to unload cargo for three days and earned enough money to buy gifts for my family."

Cao Chai took over.

"Me too. This method was suggested to me by Comrade Zhang Jungang."

Long Qiwen said with a smile.

"This method was also taught to me by my predecessor. I can earn daily wages by unloading cargo at the dock. I can earn daily income by working daily."

"It's just physical work, it's solid."

"It's easy to get scammed if you do other things, and it takes a long time to get paid."

Zhang Jungang said a little embarrassedly.

In fact, they are all staff members of China's Ministry of Foreign Trade and are official cadres.

Coming to the port city to earn money, I can only go to the dock to carry sacks, which is really not decent.

But no matter how ugly it is, the money earned is real.

So this method was passed down.

As for other methods, our predecessors have already fallen into the trap and none of them is as practical as unloading at the dock.

Earn more.

"That's a good idea indeed, thank you."

Chen Jianye smiled and nodded.

He continued to check out the merchandise at the mall.

It took Chen Jianye two hours to look at most of the merchandise in the mall.

This trip was not in vain.

Chen Jianye has discovered several business opportunities.

For example, in the cooking area, he found no pressure cookers or non-stick pans.

The pressure cooker is a product that is not technically difficult to make. It can be made as long as the principle is understood. More importantly, it is particularly suitable for steel rolling mills.

Chen Jianye was confident that if he were allowed to return to the steel rolling mill and lead everyone in the research and development of pressure cookers, they would definitely be able to produce a finished pressure cooker within a month.

It will take another month to set up the production line and another month to ramp up production capacity.

The pressure cooker will definitely explode in Hong Kong.

Because of its design characteristics, the pressure cooker can cook bones, tendons and pig trotters very quickly and save fuel.

Chen Jianye is also very confident about the other non-stick pan.

And he can do two.

One is a non-stick pan similar to the Zhangqiu iron pan, which uses equipment to create many small pits inside the pan to prevent it from sticking.

The second method is to directly use technology and use Teflon, also known as polytetrafluoroethylene.

Most people in Hong Kong like Cantonese cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine and non-stick pans are a perfect match.

An excellent chef, equipped with a non-stick pan, can be promoted to a master chef directly.

In the home, non-stick pans can definitely beat ordinary iron pans due to their non-stick properties.

In addition, Chen Jianye also discovered business opportunities in the toy area.

For example, you can make a tin train, a tin rooster, and a tin jumping frog made with clockwork gears and springs.

This kind of toy made of pure machinery and steel can be easily made in a steel rolling mill.

Chen Jianye also found that hair dryers are not popular in Hong Kong, mainly because they are very expensive.

There are also ovens, disposable cutlery boxes, electric blankets, etc.

As for higher-end electrical appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines, they cannot be produced with current technology.

But for simple electrical appliances, he can definitely lead the steel mill's technical team to try to research and develop them.

As long as a product is successfully developed, it will bring huge profits to the steel mills and the country.

Chen Jianye recorded his findings and thoughts in a small notebook, waiting to return and conduct research based on the actual situation of the steel rolling mill.

Zhang Jungang and the other two saw that Chen Jianye was constantly taking notes, and they secretly admired him in their hearts, thinking that he was worthy of being a technician.

There are new discoveries wherever you go.

Compared with Chen Jianye, my brain is like a piece of wood.

After shopping in the mall, the four of them walked back.

"Comrade Chen Jianye, do you have any new discoveries?"

Zhang Jungang asked proactively.

Cao Chai and Long Qiwen also looked at Chen Jianye.

The three of them were very curious about what Chen Jianye was going to do since he wrote and drew so much.

"Yes, I want to record those ideas and then go back to discuss them with the technical team of the steel mill to see if it can be done with the existing technology."

“If possible, the steel mills might introduce new products.”

Chen Jianye told the truth.

"That's great."

"If there are more products like HotQuick, our foreign exchange will definitely increase significantly this year."

"With increased foreign exchange, we can purchase more fertilizers, grow more food, and people across the country will no longer go hungry."

Zhang Jungang and the other two were very excited.

"These are just my ideas at the moment, and whether they can be implemented remains to be seen."

It’s not that Chen Jianye was pouring cold water on them. Different fields mean different worlds. He was worried that what he said would give the three people a wrong understanding and cause them to convey the wrong information to the outside world.
