Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 107: All are tricks (Subscribe)

Zhao Yang felt numb all over at this moment. What kind of feeling was it to be mistaken for a leader, and in front of the leader.

He didn't know about others, but when he saw Yang Ning watching the fun on the side, after trying hard to hold back his laughter, he quickly pulled his hand away and hurriedly pulled Yang Ning to introduce him.

"I am not the leader. This is my leader, Comrade Yang Ning."

As soon as Zhao Yang said this, the scene fell into silence.

The leader of Second Automobile Works, who had just held Zhao Yang's hand enthusiastically, looked at Yang Ning with embarrassment.

He also didn't expect that the younger-looking person would be the legendary Yang Ning. Isn't this a joke?

"Haha, Comrade Yang Ning is indeed young and promising! I didn't expect him to be so young."

Just when everyone was in an awkward situation, a leader in his forties, wearing a clean grey Mao suit, came in with a smile to smooth things over.

"Yes, Secretary Wang is right. I didn't expect Comrade Yang Ning to be so young."

Then he shook Yang Ning's hand enthusiastically, looked at Yang Ning seriously and said, "What happened just now doesn't count."

"Welcome Comrade Yang Ning to our factory for technical guidance."

"Hahaha~" Looking at the serious-looking leader, Yang Ning finally couldn't help laughing out loud, and others also laughed.

With this smile, the awkward atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, Old Zheng, you are a factory director after all, so be serious." Secretary Wang held back his smile and said with a stern face.

Then he looked at Yang Ning enthusiastically and said, "Comrade Yang Ning, welcome!"

Then he pointed at the leader who had let go of Yang Ning's hand and introduced him, "This is Director Zheng from our factory. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself just now."

Looking at Secretary Wang, whose smile had not faded, Yang Ning said with a smile: "It's okay. I also want to thank all the leaders for their trust."

Secretary Wang then introduced other leaders of the factory to Yang Ning, and then a group of people came to the workshop where the production equipment was stored.

When Yang Ning saw the production line that had been disassembled into a pile of parts, he instantly understood why Second Automobile Works asked him to come.

John Bull is really not a human being. Even though the equipment used to exchange technology with us is already outdated, they still dismantled the production line into parts before giving it to us.

As we all know, if some of Hans’ precision equipment is disassembled, without the original manufacturer’s technology, you cannot put it back even if you are given the drawings.

Looking at this pile of parts, Yang Ning knew that John Bull was up to his tricks again.

He was certain that even if the production line was given to us, we would not be able to produce it.

"He really is a time-honored troublemaker!" Yang Ning cursed in his heart.

"Do you have any drawings?" Yang Ning felt a bit overwhelmed looking at such a large number of parts. If there were no drawings, if he wanted to make this production line work, he would have to try them one by one, which would be a huge project.

“At first, they didn’t. After we protested, they gave us the drawings of these devices.”

Director Zheng's face was not looking good at this time. He was originally happy that we could get this production line, but after seeing this pile of stuff, he wanted to curse.

"But after our technicians started assembling according to the drawings, some of the equipment was simply unusable after assembly. Either there were too many parts or the machining accuracy of the equipment after assembly did not meet the design requirements."

Yang Ning felt relieved after hearing Director Zheng's explanation.

"Although we did some tricks at the time, it only disgusted John Bull. In the end, we suffered the loss."

Secretary Wang also said with a look of pity. "Oh, how did we trick John Bull? Is the process formula we gave them fake?" Yang Ning asked curiously.

He has never paid attention to this aspect, so he is not very clear about the details of the transaction between the two parties.

"How could it be fake? If we do this, will our international credibility be preserved?"

Director Zheng said with a straight face: "We just gave them the process formula in Chinese characters. Unfortunately, they still control Hong Kong. There are many people who understand Chinese characters. We just need to translate it."

Well, our five thousand years of history is not without wisdom. Together with the old troublemaker, the two parties involved in this transaction definitely have more than eight hundred ideas in their minds.

Yang Ning felt his scalp tingling after hearing this and could only say "well done".

"Not necessarily. People who understand Chinese characters may not understand technology. When the time comes, they will ask us for help."

"Haha, that's right." Director Zheng also laughed after hearing this, and the depressed mood caused by being fooled by John Bull finally improved.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's see if we can get this production line up. Otherwise, we will be in a passive position."

Secretary Wang and the others also knew that Yang Ning was trying to comfort them. After all, even if things didn't work out in Hong Kong, didn't they still have the principal's side?
If it can help us, the principal will definitely not mind asking the technicians who have worked with him in the past to help John Bull.

At this time, the technicians had already sent the drawings over. After all, they were just some assembly drawings, and John Bull would not give us detailed technical information, so there were not many drawings, and they were all translated from English by themselves. You ate the original German drawings, right?

Yang Ning looked at the crude drawings and couldn't help complaining in his heart. Although he knew that John Bull was not a human being, he didn't expect them to be so unhuman.

"Okay, it's almost time for dinner, let's go downstairs and eat something."

Looking at Yang Ning who had already entered the working state, Secretary Wang said considerately.

"That's right. I've heard that Comrade Yang Ning has a big appetite. Today I finally get to see it for myself." Director Zheng also reacted and said with a smile.

"The chef in our factory is pretty good. You can eat as much as you want today. Don't be polite to us. If I starve you, my boss won't forgive me."

After saying that, he took Yang Ning and the others to the cafeteria.

The canteen had already received the notice. Looking at the simple but generous servings of three dishes and one soup, Yang Ning said embarrassedly, "Home." He smiled.

Maybe he was really hungry, or maybe it was because the chef’s cooking skills were good, Yang Ning felt that he ate a lot more today than usual.

After eating and drinking, Yang Ning brought the drawings to the workshop where the production line parts were previously stored, and sorted out all the parts according to the drawings.

Although the workers here had already counted it before, Yang Ning thought it would be better to count it himself.

After all, our current production technology comes from Big Brother. What can we say about Big Brother's technology? The main feature is that it is sufficient to satisfy your hunger, simple and durable, which is somewhat different from Hans' technology.

For Hans' equipment, even the slightest deviation will affect the mechanical structure of the entire equipment. Some equipment also needs to take into account the suspended balance structure.

This is why it is not easy to assemble for those of us who are used to using Big Brother's equipment.

As the statistics were regularized, the data of each component was all recorded by Yang Ning under the super brain mode.

Comparing it with the assembly drawings in hand and combining them with the mechanical structure, I had a rough outline of this production line in my mind.

These tasks cannot be completed overnight, so Yang Ning spent the next period of time processing the data that needed to be processed that day at the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the morning, and went to Second Automobile Works in the afternoon to assemble the production line.

Not only that, in the super brain mode, Yang Ning also wrote down the detailed assembly process of the entire production line and drew the detailed structure of each device.
