Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 833 Li Huaide's Hope for Progress!

Excited, Zhang Jian said goodbye to Vice President Jiang on the phone, immediately folded the equipment list, put it in his briefcase, and then turned and walked out of Li Huaide's office. He instructed Xiao Wang, who was waiting outside the office, "Xiao Wang! Please tell your factory director Li that I need to rush back to the department to report to him immediately. Ask him to greet Mr. Wu and offer him a few drinks on my behalf."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's instructions, Xiao Wang immediately replied respectfully, "Director Zhang! I understand. I will convey your instructions to Director Li as soon as I see him."

Holding the equipment list, Zhang Jian quickly returned to the Ministry of Industry in his jeep. Thinking about the equipment on the list, Zhang Jian walked excitedly to the door of Vice President Jiang's office.

Upon seeing Vice President Jiang sitting in his office, Zhang Jian knocked on the door and respectfully reported, "President Jiang! I've brought back the equipment list provided by Mr. Wu."

Vice President Jiang, who was sitting in his office waiting for Zhang Jian, heard a knock on the door and subconsciously looked up. When he saw Zhang Jian walking into the office, he immediately instructed Zhang Jian, "Xiao Zhang! Quickly bring me the equipment list provided by Mr. Wu so I can take a look."

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's instructions, Zhang Jian quickly opened his briefcase, took out the equipment list, and placed it on Vice President Jiang's desk with both hands, reporting respectfully, "President Jiang! This is the equipment list provided by Mr. Wu."

"The equipment listed here is all equipment that foreign countries have banned from selling to China. If we can buy all of this equipment, China's industrial development can be accelerated by at least ten years."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's words, Vice President Jiang immediately took the equipment list that Zhang Jian handed over and began to look at it carefully.

Seeing the equipment listed, Vice President Jiang happily confirmed with Zhang Jian, "Xiao Zhang! Are you sure Mr. Wu has all of this equipment?"

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's inquiry, Zhang Jian immediately reported to him, "President Jiang! I didn't quite believe the equipment on the list at first, and I even confirmed it with Mr. Wu twice. Although my actions made Mr. Wu very dissatisfied, he still answered very affirmatively that he has all the equipment on this list."

"Mr. Wu also said that after we selected the equipment, he would arrange for someone to send the equipment from Hong Kong to the mainland, and he would also arrange for someone to help us debug the equipment and train the people who operate it."

After hearing Zhang Jian's report and confirming that Wu Tianlin indeed possessed the equipment, Vice President Jiang pondered for a moment before asking Zhang Jian with a serious expression, "Zhang Jian! Have you discussed the details of the cooperation with Mr. Wu?"

When Vice President Jiang asked about the details of the cooperation, Zhang Jian instinctively shook his head and respectfully reported, "President Jiang! Because I confirmed the equipment on the list with Mr. Wu twice, Mr. Wu was a little unhappy. To ease the tension, Factory Director Li took Mr. Wu to the steel rolling mill's small canteen for a meal. I was originally planning to ask Mr. Wu about the details of the cooperation while we were eating, but you asked me to come back first, so I rushed back."

Upon hearing Zhang Jian's report and understanding the whole story, Vice President Jiang didn't criticize Zhang Jian for angering Wu Tianlin. Instead, he smiled and instructed Zhang Jian, "Xiao Zhang! Keep this list with me for now. I'll discuss it with the other senior executives before deciding which equipment to purchase." *Ring ring! Ring ring! Ring ring!*

The next day, around 11 a.m., the phone in Jia Dongming's office suddenly rang.

Just as Jia Dongming was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, he heard the phone ring. He picked up the receiver and politely greeted the caller, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. May I ask who this is?"

"Director Jia! This is Li Huaide. I just received a call from the ministry. They will send someone to our steel rolling mill this afternoon to discuss the purchase of equipment with Mr. Wu. Could you please contact Mr. Wu and ask him to come to the factory this afternoon?" Li Huaide's cheerful reply came through the phone as soon as Jia Dongming finished asking the question.

Upon hearing Li Huaide's account on the phone and learning that the Ministry of Industry was going to arrange for someone to negotiate with Wu Tianlin about purchasing equipment, Jia Dongming replied with a smile, "Director Li! I'll arrange for someone to go to Old Wu's place later and have him come to the factory this afternoon."

Just now, Li Huaide received a call from his father-in-law, who told him that the ministry was preparing to send someone to the steel rolling mill to discuss cooperation with Wu Tianlin. His father-in-law told Li Huaide very clearly on the phone that if he could facilitate this cooperation, his rank would be promoted again.

More than ten years ago, after Li Huaide became the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, he stayed in the position for more than a decade. Originally, Li Huaide thought that he would probably be demoted to a secondary position. Now, his father-in-law's promise undoubtedly gave Li Huaide hope for further advancement.

Thinking of his father-in-law's promise, Li Huaide was incredibly excited and quickly instructed Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Once you've confirmed the specific time, remember to call me so I can give the ministry a reply."

Hearing Li Huaide's instructions and sensing the excitement in Li Huaide's heart, Jia Dongming was quite surprised. So he smiled and asked Li Huaide, "Director Li! Judging from your tone, it seems that you are even more eager than Director Zhang to complete the deal immediately?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, and recalling the promise his father-in-law had made to him over the phone, Li Huaide excitedly introduced to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! To be honest, the equipment Mr. Wu provided is exactly what our country needs most. If I can help facilitate this cooperation, I'll have the opportunity to take things a step further. So, I'm counting on you for this."

In the storyline of the courtyard house, although Li Huaide's rank is not explicitly stated, after the storm, Li Huaide landed safely and eventually left the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to start his own business. Now, because of this transaction, Li Huaide is able to be promoted one level, which means that Li Huaide is likely to be transferred from the steel rolling mill to work in another position. This means that Li Huaide's fate is also changed because of this little butterfly.

Upon hearing the news revealed by Li Huaide, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Then I'd like to congratulate you on your promotion in advance!"
