Chapter 554
Hunbei, Forging Machinery Factory.

The loudspeakers in the factory area played cheerful songs such as "Today is a good day" non-stop. Thousands of employees and their families almost all flocked to the main road of the factory area, waiting to witness the first export of the large automobile stamping production line. A historic moment in America.

The Hexi Branch of the Hunbei Public Security Bureau almost went out in full force, dispatching hundreds of police officers to both sides of the road to maintain order at the scene.Yu Jianrong, who has become the deputy director of the branch, stood on a jeep with the roof removed, holding a big megaphone, and shouted loudly to the onlookers:
"Masters and comrades, please cooperate with our work and do not affect the traffic of vehicles. Please carry forward the spirit of patriotism and actively cooperate with the equipment export work of our Hunbei Forging Machinery Factory!"

"Old Yu, save your energy, no one will affect the traffic, everyone is aware of it." Zhen Zifei walked out of the office building, walked to Yu Jianrong's command car, and joked with a smile.In his opinion, Yu Jianrong's affectation was a bit exaggerated.

Seeing Donnie Yen approaching, Yu Jianrong quickly put down the microphone, jumped out of the jeep, extended his hand to shake hands with Donnie Yen, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, it's Mr. Zhen, you are the great hero today, why didn't you With Mayor Xu and the others."

Yu Jianrong was originally the director of the police station in the area where the forging machinery factory is located. He had a close relationship with Guo Guibao, the former factory director who was sacked.Guo Guibao was investigated for corruption. Although Yu Jianrong was not implicated, he also saw the strong background of Lin Zhenhua, the new owner of Hun Forging Press.After that, Yu Jianrong devoted himself to the affairs of the forging machinery factory. Yen Zifei, as the celebrity in front of Lin Zhenhua's eyes, was naturally the object of Yu Jianrong's courteous flattery.

Yen Zifei curled his lips and said, "Old Yu, you know that I don't like to join in the fun by nature, so I slipped out on the pretext that the process of equipment transportation needs me, the chief engineer, to direct the whole process. Mayor Xu's side , Mr. Lin and Director Zou are accompanying us, and I am not missing."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Even if Mr. Zhen doesn't accompany Mayor Xu, Mayor Xu still knows Mr. Zhen's name. Who in Hunbei City doesn't know Mr. Zhen now? The stamping production line you designed made the Japanese The products have been compared to the past, which is a great contribution to let us Chinese feel proud." Yu Jianrong said.

Donnie Yen said: "What is this? There will be more and more things like this in the future. Why should our Chinese products be inferior to those of the Japanese? Old Yu, you need to change your mind. .”

"Mr. Zhen is right. My concept is too old." Yu Jianrong was rather obedient, and immediately admitted his mistake. He said, "Anyway, this is the first time we have The significance of exporting large-scale complete sets of equipment to a developed country like the United States for the first time is no small matter. Director Lu of the Municipal Bureau explained that there must be no mistakes in the equipment delivery ceremony today. To ensure that the equipment delivery ceremony It is safe, festive, and solemn, and it should be completed as a political task."

"Uh..." Donnie Yen was stunned, "Old Yu, I said that your police force in the public security department is so tight that you can't do something serious? Today is just our ordinary equipment transportation, why is it related to political tasks? ?”

Yu Jianrong pointed to the onlookers on both sides of the road, and said: "Mr. Zhen, I don't agree with your statement. You said that this is just an ordinary equipment transportation. When your factory usually transports equipment out, there are so many people. Come and see?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Zifei was also speechless. He raised his eyes and looked at the workers and masters with happy faces, and suddenly felt some strange feelings in his heart.

Perhaps it was because he had studied abroad for many years, and he felt nothing special about the export of complete sets of forging equipment to the United States.But for the workers of Hunbei Forging, and even for the people of the whole Hunbei City, it is a remarkable thing that a complete set of equipment with the word "Hunbei" cast across the sea and into the workshop of a famous American company event.

In Hunbei six or seven years ago, due to aging products and backward technology, most enterprises were in a situation of suspending production.Hunbei, which once provided countless machinery and equipment for the industrial development of New China, has become a burden of the country.How many workers with special skills had no choice but to leave their jobs and go home, and Hunbei got the humiliating nickname of "the largest workers' resort".

Yen Zifei remembered that it was a cold late night, and the original director Guo Guibao, together with outsiders, planned to sell the forging equipment as scrap.He and several workers blocked the factory road, and before the large flatbed trucks transporting the stolen and sold equipment, he shouted: Northeast people still have blood in their bodies!

Everything seemed to have changed since that winter night.The country launched a policy of revitalizing old industrial bases. A group of domestic entrepreneurs including Lin Zhenhua came to Hunbei, contributing both money and effort, and brought new life to one company after another that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In a blink of an eye, several years have passed, and Hun Forging Press has already stepped out of the quagmire of successive years of losses, and has become a large profit and tax household in Hunbei City.Now, Hunbei Press has launched a stamping production line that can convince American customers, setting a precedent for Hunbei City's large-scale complete sets of products exported to Europe and the United States.

Today's Hunbei is no longer the gloomy scene it was six or seven years ago.As more and more enterprises turned losses into profits, the income of the people continued to increase, and the fiscal revenue of the city also increased by more than ten times.A large number of new residences have sprung up, and the large shopping malls, high-end hotels, and large entertainment venues that Hunbei people used to only see on TV have now spread all over Hunbei, competing for beauty.

"Old Yu, believe it, such things will happen more and more." Zhen Zifei said to Yu Jianrong firmly.

The sound of beeping, beeping, and cracking firecrackers sounded, the gate of the production area was slowly opened, and a transport convoy full of equipment in red and colorful came out of the production area.The crowd was jubilant. Although most of the workers had participated in the production of these equipments, they still couldn't restrain their excitement when they saw that they were hung with English signs and loaded on large flatbed trucks to the factory area.

Deputy Mayor Xu Suming accompanied He Haifeng and Lin Zhenhua out of the muddy office building and stood on the side of the road.The first car of the convoy drove up to them and stopped. Ge Ying, the assistant manager of Hun Forging Press, got off the passenger seat, came to Xu Suming and the others, and said, "Mayor Xu, two stamping presses exported to General Motors of the United States. The production line has all been loaded onto the vehicle, now please cut the ribbon for the team with Director He."

Xu Suming laughed, turned his head and said to He Haifeng and Lin Zhenhua: "Director He, Chairman Lin, the two of you have contributed the most to Hun forging's success today. It’s impossible to make a huge loss. Thanks to Director He’s policy and Chairman Lin’s capital and management talents, Hun Forging Press and our entire Hunbei City are where we are today. Therefore, for this ribbon-cutting ceremony, I have to invite you two as guests."

He Haifeng looked at Lin Zhenhua, and Lin Zhenhua quickly waved his hands and said to Xu Suming: "Mayor Xu can't beat me. With you and Director He here, it's my turn to cut the ribbon. Director He is the leader of the central government. You are the parent officer of Hunbei, of course it is more suitable for you two to cut the ribbon."

Lin Zhenhua used to keep a low profile, but Xu Suming did not dare to underestimate Lin Zhenhua.Hanhua Heavy Industry is a joint-stock enterprise, and its private equity is higher than that of the state. Therefore, the composition of private enterprises is heavier, unlike state-owned enterprises that can correspond to a clear administrative level.But Xu Suming knew that according to Hanhua Heavy Industry's status in China, Lin Zhenhua's influence in the industry and in the central ministries and commissions was not inferior to those leaders of large state-owned enterprises at the departmental or deputy ministerial level. His level is one level higher.Thinking of this section, Xu Suming naturally disagreed with Lin Zhenhua's proposal and insisted that Lin Zhenhua and He Haifeng cut the ribbon together.

Seeing that the two of them were condescending to each other, He Haifeng smiled lightly and said, "Mayor Xu, Xiao Lin, you are all welcome. Hun Forging Press is not only an enterprise in Hunbei City, but also a part of Hanhua Heavy Industry. I should participate in today's ribbon-cutting, so let's do it together, the three of us."

"This is good, this is good." Xu Suming repeatedly claimed, in fact, this is also the ideal solution in his mind.

Already, four of the most beautiful female workers selected from the whole factory came over holding red silk ribbons, with four colored knots tied in the middle of the red ribbons.According to the procedure, He Haifeng, Lin Zhenhua, and Xu Suming will each hold scissors and cut the red ribbon between two adjacent knots. This is the concept of the so-called ribbon cutting.

He Haifeng is the leader of the central government, so he naturally stands in the middle.Xu Suming and Lin Zhenhua stood on both sides of him.In addition, three female workers came forward holding three scissors on a tray. He Haifeng and others picked up the scissors respectively, and everyone fell silent, waiting for the ribbon-cutting moment.Xu Suming and Lin Zhenhua naturally stared at He Haifeng, waiting for him to make the first move.

He Haifeng has participated in this kind of ribbon-cutting ceremony countless times, and he is familiar with this set of procedures. However, today he did not cut the ribbon as easily as before. Instead, he put down the scissors, raised his head and said to everyone:
"Masters, thank you very much for giving me such an opportunity to cut the ribbon for export equipment. The export of complete sets of equipment for Hun Forging to the United States is a great joy for Hun Forging and also for our country's equipment industry. It means that our country has entered the As one of the largest equipment producing countries in the world, we already have a place in the international equipment arena.

I have participated in many ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the past, but today's ribbon-cutting ceremony is the most exciting for me.Hun Forging Press has gone through a tortuous and touching road from being on the verge of bankruptcy to going to glory.As an official of the State Planning Commission, I was fortunate to witness this process, and I also contributed some of my modest efforts to this transformation.Personally, I think this is the proudest thing in my working life.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony I participated in in the past, many fine red silk cloths were cut off, which I always felt was a pity.For today's ribbon-cutting, I would like to make a small suggestion, and I hope everyone will support it.This piece of red silk represents our forging honor, can we keep it and don't cut it.When our equipment was exported overseas for the 10th and 100th time, we used this red ribbon to see them off. Everyone said, okay? "

"Okay!" Xu Suming put down the scissors first and applauded loudly.With him taking the lead, the others naturally cheered in unison.

"Thank you for your understanding." He Haifeng bowed his hands to everyone, then turned his head and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Chairman Lin, since everyone agrees with my proposal, please collect this red ribbon on behalf of everyone. I hope that it can accompany Hun Forging Press from its current glory to greater glory."
