The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 164 Family Heirloom

Inside the Great Hall, everything had been arranged for the meeting. Liu Hua followed Li Huaide and prepared to sit down, but Li Huaide pushed him back.

"Your seat is not below, but above."

Following Li Huaide's finger, Liu Hua saw that there were nameplates on the podium, one of which had his name on it, Liu Hua, and it was very close to the center.

Liu Hua was dumbfounded, and pulled Li Huaide's clothes: "Can you talk to your Taishan and let me sit down below? Letting a young man like me sit up there, in the middle, isn't that putting me on the fire?"

Li Huaide shook his head: "Today my father-in-law is sitting with you. You are the protagonist. Today is not only a conference to promote the new technology of top-bottom re-blowing, but also a conference to commend you. If you don't sit down, who else is qualified to sit down?"

At this time, the leader's secretary also saw Liu Hua and walked over with a smile: "Mr. Liu, the leader wants you to come over."

Li Huaide nodded at him: "Go ahead."

At that time, he could only follow the secretary to a small room next door. When the leader saw Liu Hua, he stood up with a smile and shook hands with him.

"Engineer Liu, today is your commendation meeting. You are the protagonist. Don't be nervous later."

Liu Hua nodded, and the leader took a small box from the side and handed it to Liu Hua: "This is the words of praise from the leaders above you. Your achievements this time are really too great, and you are too young. Being promoted too quickly will not be good for your future growth, so the leaders wrote a couple of words to praise you. Your name will not be mentioned in the external news release for the time being, and it will be declassified after a few years."

Liu Hua nodded: "I can understand, this is all for my protection."

The leader signaled Liu Hua to open the box, and the secretary helped to unfold the banner with four big words: The Backbone of Industry.

Overall, the calligraphy was beautifully written, with a flourish. After taking a look at the signature, Liu Hua quickly took back the banner and carefully put it into the box.

Several leaders laughed. Li Huaide's father-in-law smiled and said, "Look how happy this child is. This is the leader's expectation for you and also a spur to you. You must achieve better results in the future."

"Of course, I will never let these four words down."

I believe everyone knows who wrote these words. We can say that these four words will be the Liu family's heirloom in the future. Even if Liu Hua gets lucky and finds the imperial seal in the future, it can only be on par with them at most.

The leader looked at his watch and said, "Okay, it's almost time to go to the meeting."

The leader took Liu Hua to sit on the stage. Before that, the leader told Liu Hua not to be stage-frightened. Only when he actually sat down did he know what it meant to be sitting on pins and needles.

Dozens of factory managers in the audience were all staring at Liu Hua. Those leaders were seen almost every year, but it was the first time for Liu Hua to see him, so he had to take a few more glances. At the same time, he cursed inwardly, wondering how Li Huaide could be so lucky to pick up such a young engineer.

"Okay, stop staring at Engineer Liu." The leader's opening remarks were directly joking: "No matter how much you look at him, Engineer Liu will not be transferred to your place. If he really needs to be transferred, it will be to the department, so don't worry about it."

"Today is the top and bottom combined blowing technology promotion conference." The leader smiled and said, "I am really happy. With this technology, my country's steel production can grow in a step-by-step manner. So the most important thing now is to promote this technology." Liu Hua sat on the stage bored. It was basically the leaders who were talking, and he was simply daydreaming.

"The first to make rectifications was Shougang."

The director of Shougang jumped up and said, "That's great."

But what he got in return was other people's contempt. In terms of size and scale, Shougang is definitely not the most outstanding among these steel mills. No matter how you look at it, it should not be the first.

"We chose Shougang because it is close to the steel mill." The leader explained: "Engineer Liu has been helping Shougang with its technical transformation for some time. You steel mills should not sit idle either. Send your chief engineers here to learn from them. After they have learned the skills, the department will organize these people into an expert team to help you with technical transformation one by one."

The leader glanced at Liu Hua and said, "As for Engineer Liu, there will be more important work arrangements next year, so the engineers in each of your steel plants will have a heavy task and must master the technology in a short period of time."

The factory manager beside Li Huaide nudged him with his elbow: "What technical arrangements do you have for next year, Engineer Liu? You can't just squeeze a toad into powder, but you can't just make one person work hard. Such a big project has just been completed, at least let him rest, right?"

"This was decided a long time ago. We will upgrade the converter this year and build a new rolling mill next year."

The meeting lasted about thirty minutes, and the entire technology promotion was perfectly arranged. The next step was to commend Liu Hua.

Because it was an internal commendation meeting, Liu Hua was just given a medal and everyone applauded and congratulated him. There was no big fuss and no reporters interviewed him.

After the meeting, the leader specially prepared a special meal and invited Liu Hua and Li Huaide to have dinner together.

During the meal, the leader said happily: "The whole country needs steel now, and we have been worrying about the production. Now it's good, we don't have to worry about it anymore, and we can give an explanation to the organization, the country, and the people."

Liu Hua was eating and suddenly said, "There is still a problem. Can we supply enough iron ore? Besides, the quality of iron ore in our country is generally not high."

The dinner table suddenly became quiet. Yes, we hadn’t considered this issue in advance. We had to report it quickly and increase the intensity of exploration and mining.

Liu Hua ate a piece of pork belly and said, "I read some information before. There is a Maoshan iron mine in North Korea. It is said that the iron ore is of high quality and has huge reserves. If we use their iron ore, we should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Import iron ore?" The leader shook his head. "There will be obstacles to this. We are not rich now, and we have to spend more money to import iron ore. It will be difficult to pass."

"We now have the most advanced ironmaking equipment." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Can't we just use finished steel to exchange for ore? In fact, I think if our country is not rich enough now, all domestic mineral deposits should not be mined, and all should be reserved for war reserve mines, so that they can be used abroad first."

The leader burst out laughing. It was a good idea, but it was not realistic at the moment. Not to mention whether we had money or not, given the current situation, those companies that had iron ore would not sell it to us.

The leader pondered for a while and said: "Using iron ore from North Korea is a matter of great benefit to the present and future generations. I will try to bring it up. We have to give it a try."
