Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

"This time, I came with an urgent mission - to seek support. Recently, the armed conflict between our country and the White Elephant Country has been extremely severe, with heavy casualties on both sides. Especially in terms of equipment, we are far behind them. If your country can lend a helping hand, it will be of great significance to us."

The ambassador's words revealed helplessness and grief.

In the past series of conflicts with the White Elephant Kingdom, although the Pakistani army showed an indomitable spirit, it was ultimately at a disadvantage due to factors such as insufficient supplies and aging weapons. It was this predicament that forced him to seek foreign aid in order to gain a better living environment for his country.

After listening to the envoy's statement, the Chinese military leaders immediately responded.

"I deeply sympathize with your situation, but I'm afraid we can't help you with military assistance." The military leaders would naturally not easily change their position because of the words of the diplomatic envoy.

Who hasn’t experienced being treated harshly by others?

487 At this juncture, the interests of the country are always the top priority. Therefore, in the face of the request, the military leaders took a tactful attitude of rejection without hesitation.

It was obviously impossible to provide military assistance to Babayang in the name of the country. Then, the military leader turned to Su Chen and introduced the diplomatic ambassador of Babayang Country:

"This is Mr. Su Chen, a public-spirited entrepreneur in our country." "His Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is the leader in the production of domestic civilian products."

"Red Star's products are exported to many countries and are welcomed and praised by many countries."

Babayang's diplomatic envoy was obviously confused by this. He looked at Su Chen, speechless for a moment, not understanding what the other party was trying to do.

Su Chen eased the tense atmosphere with a smile and welcomed the ambassador in authentic Baba Yang dialect, "Welcome Mr. Ambassador, I hope to make some contributions to your country."

The ambassador was quite surprised, because it was not unusual to be able to speak their language fluently, especially here, which made the ambassador more curious about Su Chen.

Seeing this, the military leader added: "The many civilian products manufactured by Mr. Suchen's Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will have a significant effect on improving the lives of the people of Babayang."

Faced with this "drama" by the military leaders, Babayang's envoy fell into deep thought for a moment. He thought to himself, they came here to seek military aid, so what role can these civilian supplies play?

Although he found it incredible at first, when he saw the serious look on the military representative's face, he had to start seriously considering the authenticity of this proposal.

Finally, after some consideration, the diplomatic envoy decided to accompany the delegation to visit the Red Star Steel Mill. After all, since someone had recommended it, it would be impolite not to go and see it for yourself.

"If it can bring positive impact to our country as you said, then I'd like you to lead the way." The envoy said to the military leader.

The military's arrangement was obviously intentional. At least at the official level, the image of the Red Star Steel Mill still remains at the content of this promotion.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or risks caused by revealing too much information, he chose to maintain the necessary sense of mystery towards the visitors, which also made Su Chen quite helpless.

Even so, being able to expand the business is also a good opportunity. Therefore, Su Chen followed the two of them to the factory, almost quietly cooperating throughout the whole process.

When the three people's vehicle stopped in front of the factory, the envoy of Baba Sheep Country got a glimpse of the busy scene inside the factory, especially the technical team who were testing a new crawler tractor, which was a version that had been continuously improved and upgraded after being sold to Cardasso.

Although these models are sufficient to meet the needs of some countries, Suchen and his employees believe that there is always room for improvement.

After reading their latest research report, Su Chen allowed them to go ahead and do it. To him, this was just a trivial technical adjustment.

The ambassador's expression immediately became excited. When he saw the five pairs of additional wheels installed under the crawler tractor, his eyes flickered with surprise: "This... This can't be **, right?"

He seemed to feel that the name "Red Star Steel Rolling Mill" was somewhat familiar.

The slightly rough ** in front of him aroused the interest of the diplomatic ambassador of the Baba Sheep Country in buying them without hesitation.

Seeing the ambassador asking this question, Su Chen hurriedly shook his head to clarify: "These are tractors, used for freight and farming, not **."

Naturally, Su Chen would not publicly admit the fact that what he gave birth to was indeed **.

In fact, the military leaders were well aware of this and chose to stand aside and watch.

Now that they had successfully guided the Baba Sheep Country's ambassador into the ** factory, there was no need for the military to interfere too much in what he wanted to buy. The leader was more willing to watch the show from the side.

The diplomatic ambassador was obviously reserved about Su Chen's explanation.

His expression suddenly became complicated, and he obviously had strong doubts about Su Chen's statement.

Although he came from abroad, he was still able to keenly capture the subtleties in Su Chen's words - there was obviously something wrong here.

What tractor? Do you think we, Babayang, have never come into contact with this kind of machinery? How could there be a tractor that looks so unique? Does Su Chen really think I am ignorant?

The ambassador looked as if he was kidding me, but he did not ask further. After all, this involved the core secrets of the factory, so it was not appropriate to be too direct.

Afterwards, the ambassador followed Su Chen's footsteps and walked deeper into the factory.

Not long after he left, he noticed a batch of freshly-made "fire trucks" waiting to be loaded and shipped. At that moment, he was so surprised that he blurted out, "Isn't this a medium-range ballistic missile?"

Although the workers at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill knew that there would be guests visiting today, they did not pay much attention to it and continued to carry out production operations at their daily pace.

The workers were very curious when they saw strange foreign faces pointing and talking in the factory, but when they saw Su Chen was accompanying them, they realized that he was a senior leader who came to inspect the work, so they put their thoughts aside and concentrated on their respective tasks.

The factory director rarely visits, so everyone wants to leave a good impression this time, perhaps being named outstanding employee of the year and getting a generous bonus at the end of the year.

So whenever they saw Su Chen appear, these workers would immediately behave with extra effort and concentration, as if they were more diligent than usual.

It's not because they deliberately want to stand out in front of others, but because these tasks are part of their job.

But without Su Chen around, everyone might have relaxed a little; now that they have been discovered, they will naturally try their best to show him their best side.

Because getting Su Chen's recognition is not only a matter of honor, it can also actually increase a lot of extra income.

This batch of "fire trucks" has now been completed, and the employees in charge of assembly on the production line have all stepped up to assist in loading, striving to deliver them for use as soon as possible.

The rest of the factory is also operating in an orderly manner, busy producing other products. Given the current huge demand, even the porters specially assigned to the production line are feeling the pressure.

Since Suchen took over many different categories of orders, including the production and transportation of crawler trucks and various pipe fittings, there was a serious shortage of manpower. Therefore, in terms of moving the "fire truck", the production line employees had to temporarily put down their work to help.

In addition to being exported overseas, the batch of fire-fighting equipment manufactured this time also has certain demand in the domestic market, so they need to be loaded onto vehicles separately.

A batch of fire-fighting equipment ordered by a major customer was quickly loaded onto the truck and the fleet set off in a mighty manner for delivery.

At the same time, the equipment needed by the domestic fire department was quickly transferred to a nearby warehouse for temporary storage.

Since domestic demand is not large, the existing storage space can fully accommodate it, and there is no pressure for subsequent one-time transportation.

The workers were so absorbed in their work that almost no one paid any attention to the foreigner who came to visit them, because they had a lot of work to do.

At present, the factory implements a piece-rate wage system, so the workers naturally do not have the leisure time to deal with outside visitors.

What the diplomatic envoy from the country of Baba Sheep did not expect was that he would be ignored by the workers. After observing for a long time, he saw no one coming forward to say hello or slacking off. Such a scene was rare in his own country.

Although the citizens of Baba Sheep Kingdom live in poverty, they still work hard; even so, they always find some fun to entertain themselves in their spare time.

This was the first time the ambassador had seen such a working state, so in addition to being curious about the firefighting equipment in front of him, he also became interested in these Chinese workers. Could it be that the soldiers and workers here were all extraordinary people?

But soon, his attention was focused again on those so-called fire-fighting equipment, because those equipment looked no different from medium-range guns.

Su Chen, who was standing nearby, heard the diplomat's thoughts and quickly waved his hand to explain, "These are all special firefighting equipment produced by our factory. Please don't misunderstand me. To be honest, we produce firefighting equipment, and they are filled with extinguishing agents. I hope you don't wrongly accuse the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant."

Su Chen's serious emphasis made the ambassador of the diplomatic embassy seem even more absurd.

What firefighting equipment? The ambassador thought that Su Chen was obviously making excuses. Who could believe him? They had already made a medium-range firefighter, but they still claimed to be a private enterprise.

However, the diplomatic envoy's mood instantly changed from confusion to excitement. Perhaps this was a misunderstanding, and the military leaders had actually planned a response plan for Baba Yang. This thought made the ambassador even more excited. This visit to China seemed to be the wisest decision!

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but think of those people in the country who had once questioned and opposed seeking assistance from China. Now it seems that they lacked foresight.
