Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 832 Industrial Machine Tool!

Hearing the questioning voice outside the office, Jia Dongming instinctively looked out and saw an unfamiliar middle-aged man walking excitedly into Li Huaide's office.

Li Huaide followed the middle-aged man into the office and quickly introduced him: "Director Zhang! Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Jia Dongming, the director of the security department of our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill! This is Comrade Wu Tianlin, a friend of Director Jia!"

After introducing them, Li Huaide turned to Jia Dongming and Wu Tianlin and said, "Director Jia! Comrade Wu Tianlin! This is Zhang Jian, the director of our Industrial Procurement Department!"

Zhang Jian came to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill this time specifically for the 140mm seamless steel pipe continuous rolling mill that Jia Dongming's friend had. Originally, Zhang Jian thought that the other party only had one piece of equipment, but the equipment list that Li Huaide brought over really shocked him and made him feel extremely excited.

Upon hearing Li Huaide's introduction and recalling the equipment on the list, Zhang Jian quickly extended his palm and greeted Jia Dongming and Wu Tianlin warmly, saying, "Director Jia! Mr. Wu! It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's introduction and seeing Zhang Jian's excited expression, Jia Dongming politely shook hands with Zhang Jian and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Director Zhang! Welcome to our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!"

After Jia Dongming and others had greeted Zhang Jian, Wu Tianlin reached out and shook hands with Zhang Jian, politely saying, "Director Zhang! It's a pleasure to meet you."

After greeting Jia Dongming and Wu Tianlin, Zhang Jian quickly picked up the equipment list in his hand and asked Wu Tianlin expectantly, "Mr. Wu! I just heard Director Li say that you have all the equipment on this list. Is that true?"

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's question and sensing the excitement and anticipation on his face, Wu Tianlin nodded firmly and smiled confidently, "Director Zhang! If we don't have these devices on hand, what's the point of me listing this?"

Despite Wu Tianlin's confident answer, Zhang Jian's face still showed disbelief when he saw the name of the CNC machine tool on the list. He immediately asked Wu Tianlin, "Mr. Wu! The CNC machine tool on this list is the most advanced industrial machine tool in the United States. It is one of the pieces of equipment that the United States prohibits from exporting. How did you get it?"

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's question, Wu Tianlin frowned and replied with some dissatisfaction, "Director Zhang! How we obtained these devices is not something you should be concerned about. If you need these devices, we will ship them to China, install and debug them for you, and then train your operators. You just need to prepare the necessary funds or foreign exchange."

Upon hearing Wu Tianlin's reply, Zhang Jian sensed the latter's dissatisfaction and realized he had asked an inappropriate question. Fearing he might anger Wu Tianlin, Zhang Jian quickly explained, "Mr. Wu! It's because most of the equipment on this list is prohibited from being sold abroad by Western countries that I asked this out of curiosity. I didn't mean to pry into your secrets, so please don't misunderstand."

Seeing Wu Tianlin's displeased expression, Li Huaide immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly smiled at Jia Dongming and Wu Tianlin, saying, "Director Jia! Of all things, eating is the most important. It's almost lunchtime now. Why don't we move to the small canteen first and talk about purchasing equipment after we've filled our stomachs?"

As Li Huaide finished speaking, he winked at Jia Dongming, hoping Jia Dongming would also put in a good word for him.

Wu Tianlin was merely a simulated human; everything he said was the result of Jia Dongming's instructions. Seeing Li Huaide's gaze, Jia Dongming understood Li Huaide's thoughts perfectly. He then smiled and advised Wu Tianlin, "Old Wu! Our factory's head chef is a descendant of the Tan family cuisine; his cooking skills are top-notch. Why don't we follow Director Li's suggestion and go to the small canteen to try our head chef's cooking?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's suggestion, Wu Tianlin immediately seized the opportunity and replied, "Okay! Let's go and try this chef's cooking."

Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Wu Tianlin had accepted his suggestion, and quickly said to the people present, "Mr. Wu! Director Zhang! Director Kou, Section Chief Jia, this way please."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Zhang Jian remembered the instructions given to him by Vice President Jiang before he left. He quickly said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Vice President Jiang is still waiting for my reply in his office. You two go ahead first. I'll call Vice President Jiang, give him my report, and then go to the canteen."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's words, Li Huaide immediately understood what Zhang Jian meant. He then smiled and said to Zhang Jian, "Director Zhang! I'll arrange for Xiao Wang to wait for you outside the corridor. After you finish your call, have Xiao Wang take you to the small canteen."

After Zhang Jian and Li Huaide left the office, he glanced at the equipment list in his hand again, walked quickly to Li Huaide's desk, pressed the phone on the desk, shook the handset a few times, picked up the receiver, and immediately said to the operator, "This is Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Please connect me to the office of Vice President Jiang of the Industrial Department."

"Hello! This is Jiang Jin! May I ask who this is?" The call was quickly connected, and before Zhang Jian could even speak, Vice President Jiang's polite yet meticulous voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's inquiry, Zhang Jian excitedly reported to him, "President Jiang! I'm Zhang from the Purchasing Department! Wu Tianlin's friend has not only a 140mm seamless steel pipe continuous rolling mill, but also many other advanced equipment, including the most advanced industrial machine tools from the United States."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's report, Vice President Jiang on the other end of the phone immediately stood up from his desk, his face filled with disbelief as he asked Zhang Jian, "Xiao Zhang! Are you sure Jia Dongming's friend really has that much equipment?"

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's question, Zhang Jian, recalling what had just happened, quickly reported to Vice President Jiang: "President Jiang! When I saw the equipment list provided by Mr. Wu, I didn't quite believe it was true either. After all, industrial machine tools are equipment that the United States prohibits from selling to all countries. So I repeatedly confirmed this with Mr. Wu, and almost angered him."

"Later, Jia Dongming and Factory Director Li acted as peacemakers, and Mr. Wu stopped arguing with me. Moreover, Mr. Wu clearly stated that they would be responsible for transporting the equipment to China, debugging the equipment for us, and training the personnel to operate the equipment. All we needed to do was prepare the yellow croaker and foreign exchange."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's explanation, Vice President Jiang's face also lit up with excitement. He immediately instructed Zhang Jian, "Xiao Zhang! Do you have that equipment list? If so, come back to the department right now. I'll be waiting for you there."

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's instructions, Zhang Jian immediately replied respectfully, "President Jiang! I'll take the list and head back to the department right now!"
