Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 264 Important Roles
The moon in foreign countries is relatively round.

For many Chinese people these days, going abroad is undoubtedly a kind of honor, but anyone who has the experience of going abroad will have a dazzling halo above his head, which will be envied by everyone and will be reused to a certain extent in the unit.

So after hearing this news, Duan Yun's mother and sister were no less shocked than when Duan Yun was just admitted to university.

"Brother, you are too powerful!!"

"Xiaoyun, is this true?"

After a while, the mother and younger sister came back to their senses and asked Duan Yun repeatedly.

"I haven't been officially notified yet, but the director is already helping me with the procedures. As long as the procedures can be completed, I can leave next Friday." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "But before that , I have to finish translating these materials first, so I can't help Xiaofang with homework for the time being..."

"It's okay brother, it's a big deal for you to go abroad. I'm still early for the college entrance examination." Duan Fang also had a smile on her face, and she was obviously happy that her brother was able to go abroad.

"I'm still a sensible girl, if Brother Huihui really goes abroad, I'll buy you delicious food from abroad!" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Brother, don't buy me food, I'm so fat now..." Duan Fang is obviously more sensitive to her figure, and girls of any age are very concerned about things like beauty.

"Hahaha! How fat are you? You are still far from the standard of a pig. You must eat more!" Duan Yun teased.

"You're a pig!" Duan Fang angrily raised her fist and stabbed her brother once.

"Okay, don't make trouble with your brother." Gao Xiuzhi's face was full of excitement, and she said to Duan Yun: "Xiaoyun, if you want to go abroad this time, how many days?"

"I don't know the specifics yet, but I think it will take at least a week." Duan Yun said after a moment of pondering.

"Then... Mom will knit a sweater for you in the next two days, and buy a pair of cotton shoes..."

"You can have sweaters, but cotton shoes are fine." Duan Yun smiled and said, "Actually, Mom, you don't need to worry about it. There will definitely be arrangements for the specific affairs of going abroad. It is impossible for us to be cold and hungry, right?" ?”

"Mom is afraid that you will suffer outside..."

"Mom, my brother is so smart now, he won't suffer at all." Duan Fang interjected.

"Hehe." Gao Xiuzhi smiled upon hearing this, and then stopped talking.

After the meal, Duan Yun continued to translate the documents, while her younger sister lay on the desk and concentrated on reviewing her homework. Duan Fang was always strong, and the fact that her brother went abroad this time was somewhat motivating for her.

In the big room, Gao Xiuzhi was sitting in front of the sewing machine, taking Duan Yun's clothes to modify and thicken, with a faint smile on her face, and gently wiping the slightly moist corners of her eyes with her fingers...

……

In the next two days, Duan Yun basically stayed at home and devoted himself to the translation work.

For Duan Yun, this is definitely not a boring job.

While translating the materials, he also had a comprehensive understanding of this set of West German production line equipment. With his solid technical foundation, these equipments have gradually become three-dimensional in his mind. Duan Yun can even imagine how these equipments work. Time, the operation of each part!

It can be said that Duan Yun's current understanding of this production line equipment should be no less than those of the original factory's technicians.

On Tuesday morning, Duan Yun finally finished translating all the blueprints, and in the afternoon, he rode his horse to the Bureau of Light Industry with the materials.

"You mean, all these materials have been translated?" Seeing the boxes of translated drawings and materials brought by Duan Yun, Ruiyang obviously couldn't believe it.

In fact, at the beginning, Ruiyang did not expect Duan Yun to translate so fast. After all, it took more than 100 people from various factories to translate these materials one after another. This time, Duan Yun was alone at a distance. Three days before the Friday deadline, all the translation work had been completed ahead of schedule, and the speed was beyond Ruiyang's imagination.

"Director Rui, in fact, many of these materials are not worth translating at all..." Duan Yun told Ruiyang exactly what happened in the German toilet and smoking room in the drawings.

"There is such a thing?" After hearing Duan Yun's narration, Ruiyang also showed surprise on his face.

Ruiyang didn't know the tricks in this set of equipment before. He was a political worker himself, and he didn't know much about technical matters. Many related technical decisions still needed professional technical experts to help him provide suggestions and references.

But it is definitely impossible to import toilets from abroad. The country’s foreign exchange is precious. In order to introduce technology and equipment to Daxing No. [-] Automobile Factory, Ruiyang also went back and forth to the ministry. It was only then that part of the foreign exchange funds was obtained and used to purchase this automobile production line.

And if Ruiyang bought a set of imported toilets from abroad this time, it would undoubtedly be serious dereliction of duty!Once this matter gets out, it will definitely become a laughing stock and stain in his life, and even affect his career. This is definitely not an exaggeration!

So much so that after Duan Yun told him about this toilet, Rui Yang was still terrified, and at the same time, he was a little more grateful to Duan Yun.

"In addition to toilets and smoking rooms, there are other equipment that I don't think it is necessary to introduce. As far as I know, there are some domestic equipment that can be partially replaced at present..." Duan Yun said seriously.

"Replace it with domestic equipment?" Ruiyang was startled when he heard the words, and then said, "Are you sure this is feasible?"

Ruiyang obviously disapproves of Duan Yun's plan to partially replace the German production line with domestic equipment. After all, Ruiyang still knows the current level of domestic technical equipment, otherwise, he would not need to go to the Ministry to apply for foreign exchange to purchase equipment.

"Actually, according to my understanding of this production line from the translated drawings in the past few days, except for some core equipment, everything else is already outdated by foreign countries in the 50s and [-]s. Our domestic technology and equipment are indeed backward, but not so far behind. At this point, if foreign exchange is abundant, I will treat it as nothing, but if the funds are limited, I suggest re-making the procurement plan." Duan Yun raised his brows and said.

Duan Yun is obviously unwilling to just play the role of an English translator. After all, mechanical technology is his greatest strength. Although it may make him uncomfortable to suggest that Ruiyang’s previous plan to purchase a complete production line be rejected, but in order to be able to Duan Yun must take the initiative to win some opportunities to gain a certain right to speak in terms of the city bureau's technology...
