Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 455 This is my ambition!

The people in the casserole shop looked at him with surprise.

Chen Luyang's meal alone was equivalent to the entire meal of everyone else.

Chen Luyang didn't care at all about the stares of others.

It's easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance.

It's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Ever since Chen Luyang angrily reprimanded someone for spending over 800 yuan on things for the family, she has completely let loose when it comes to spending money.

In the past, when I went out to eat, I could restrain myself from eating steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

Now it's Kuku Rice.

He works tirelessly day and night on his career and projects, all for the sake of living a better life, eating better, and dressing better.
"Another bowl of rice?"

Chen Jinyue looked at Chen Luyang's ravenous eating with a pained expression and asked a question.

"want!"

Chen Luyang nodded frantically as she silently cooked.

Chen Jinyue immediately got up and ordered not only a bowl of rice for Chen Luyang, but also a plate of sausages for him.

Chen Luyang took the rice and flipped it over into the beef and persimmon casserole.

He used a small spoon to shovel it open, and then started a storm of soup-soaked rice, showing off his skills.

Seeing his wolfish eating habits, Chen Jinyue couldn't help but ask, "Did you bring any food on the train?"

"I brought them! I brought steamed buns and dumplings," Chen Luyang said, patting her schoolbag.

"I brought these from school, and I've even bought the ones I need to take back home."

Chen Jinyue felt sorry for him.

It's so cold today, the steamed buns and dumplings have long since hardened and cooled down.

Although she ordered a lot of food, Chen Luyang finished eating it all in about ten minutes.

After finishing the last bite of rice, Chen Jinyue said with heartache:

"Don't do it again next time."

"No need for any trouble~"

Chen Luyang grinned foolishly at Chen Jinyue, then raised the gloves hanging on his chest and shook them at Chen Jinyue with an air of arrogance.

“I was afraid of losing it, so I asked the dorm auntie to sew a rope for me to wear around my neck.”

Chen Jinyue blushed.

"This isn't finished... I'll knit you another one."

Chen Luyang quickly said, "No need! This is enough for me to wear, no need to knit. Knitting this kind of thing is too tiring."

"If you have that kind of time, you should rest more. You can even lie down and read a book."

How have you been lately? Is work going well?

Chen Jinyue nodded: "I'm fine. I even changed departments a few days ago."

Chen Luyang: "Where did you change to?"

Chen Jinyue said, "I've been transferred to the Office of Individual and Private Economy Management. I'm the deputy director and will be temporarily in charge of the department's work."

"Oh my!" Chen Luyang laughed.

"My boss got promoted!"

"This is wonderful news!"

Chen Jinyue lightly spat and said, "Who is your leader?"

Chen Luyang chuckled and his restless paws reached out to touch Chen Jinyue's little hand.

"Aren't you my boss?"

"It was like that when I was working at the restaurant, it is now, and it will be even more so after I get married."

"I'll be under your command for the rest of my life!"

"You're being indecent!" Chen Jinyue blushed as she listened, but couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Did you tell your aunt and uncle when you got home today?

"No," Chen Luyang replied somewhat guiltily.

"Please don't tell anyone I'm back."

Chen Luyang's expression was very serious.

"If my mom knew I came back to see you but not her, she would be heartbroken."

Chen Jinyue disapproved of Chen Luyang's actions: "You knew Auntie would be sad, yet you still did it!"

"We can come pick you up together next time."

Chen Luyang couldn't resist squeezing Chen Jinyue's small hands again.
"Don't do that. If my mom were here, she'd beat me up if she saw me touching your hand."

Chen Jinyue also blushed.

"Then I'll touch you~"

Um??!!

Chen Luyang's eyes widened, and she subconsciously placed her left hand on the table as well.

Chen Jinyue secretly reached out her right hand and quickly patted the back of his hand.

After touching,

The two scoundrels acted as if nothing had happened, and quickly withdrew their hands like thieves.

Hey~

Chen Luyang had never been passively touched like this before.

Suddenly feel it,
hiss……

I'm in a pretty good mood.

In the small casserole shop, Chen Luyang and Chen Jinyue sat around a square table with peeling paint, chatting and laughing.

Happy times always pass too quickly.

After sitting for less than 40 minutes, Chen Luyang got up and rushed to the train station.

A young couple reluctantly bought four tea eggs on the platform, and then Chen Luyang squeezed onto the train with the crowd.

Got in the car,
Chen Luyang also reminded him:

"Please don't tell my mom I'm back. Don't tell anyone!"

"Be careful on your way back!"

"Wait for me to come back from winter break!!!"

"Remember to wear a hat when you go out!!!"

With each instruction from Chen Luyang...
The train slowly started moving.
Chen Luyang leaned against the window, watching with reluctance as Chen Jinyue's figure turned into a tiny black dot.

At last,
Just as Chen Luyang was about to sit down and continue her translation work,
A questioning voice came from behind.

"Why can't Aunt Feng know that you're going home?"

Um?!!!!
Chen Luyang suddenly turned around.

A large face with emerald green eyes was pressed tightly against the back of his head.

If Chen Luyang hadn't been so agile, her lower back wouldn't have been so hunched over.
The two of them almost kissed.

"Yeah, why are you being so secretive when you get home?"

Another large face also came closer.

Chen Luyang stared blankly at Fu Donghu and Song Liaosha in front of her, feeling her heart clench.

What kind of life is this?!

On the train, amidst the vast sea of ​​people, you can easily spot someone you know.

Song Liaosha was wearing a military overcoat, a liberation cap, and carrying a large bag on her back. Her face also seemed to be smeared with some dust.

Apart from his sharp green eyes, he looked exactly like a farmer.

Fu Donghu is even more out of the question.

He was always dressed impeccably and had his hair neatly combed at the factory.

He was now wearing tattered clothes and a worn-out cotton-padded jacket, with a tattered cloth bag tied around his waist, and his hands tucked into his sleeves.

Upon seeing their combat uniforms, Chen Luyang immediately realized what was going on.

The bags on their backs definitely contained valuables.

I reckon it's the latest model toy car!

"Are you two visiting relatives?" Chen Luyang asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, let's go to Hongjin and see my Third Master!" Song Liaosha started to lie through her teeth.

"We caught some sparrows at home and were thinking of sending them over to see if my third master would like them."

"How many did you catch?" Chen Luyang glanced at the bundle on Song Liaosha's back and asked. "Not many, only about 20. But they were different kinds!"

Song Liaosha said with a simple and honest expression, "There are flying ones, running ones, and even ones whose eyes glow at night."

Chen Luyang's eyes widened: "So many?! Didn't we only have one kind of bird before?"

Song Liaosha explained:

"How long has it been since you last went home?"

“Those relatives from out of town in our hometown are always going up the mountain and down to the sea, they can catch anything.”

Good guy...

It seems that Marco Polo and his friends really let their imaginations run wild!
In just over half a year, they have produced several more types of cars.

"...Brother Chen, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

Song Liaosha, ever the troublemaker, continued by asking a soul-searching question.

Chen Luyang knew there was no way to avoid it today, and said:

"I came back specifically to see my boyfriend. I won't be staying for more than two hours, so I didn't tell my mom."

moment,

Song Liaosha gave a thumbs up.

Even Fu Donghu's gaze towards Chen Luyang became more profound.

understand!

I totally understand!

Seeing Chen Luyang's pleading expression, Fu Donghu immediately patted his chest in agreement.

"Luyang, don't worry! I'll keep this a secret from you!"

Song Liaosha was also full of confidence: "Don't worry, Dad will keep this a secret and won't let my Aunt Feng know!"

The three hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they suddenly saw an acquaintance on the train, they were extremely affectionate!
Fu Donghu moved around the car, trying to persuade the three of them to sit together.

Then Song Liaosha and Fu Donghu took out the dried tofu, soybean paste, and peanuts they had prepared in advance, and also took out sausages, melon seeds, and braised pork knuckle.

Although it's a joyous occasion and a drink is in order,
However, Song Liaosha and Fu Donghu's packages were full of serious stuff, and no one dared to be careless.

The three of them, with snacks and water instead of alcohol, started chatting happily.

When they get into a good mood,
Song Liaosha even deliberately unfurled the hem of her military overcoat to let Chen Luyang glance at the collar of her shirt underneath.

"The thief fits perfectly!"

"Of course! How could something your father bought for you not fit?"

Chen Luyang happily downed a glass of water.

"Where are you two going after Hongjin? How about coming to Piancheng for a stroll?"

Fu Donghu shook his head: "Time is tight, I won't go."

Chen Luyang asked in surprise, "Is there something else going on back home?"

Fu Donghu nodded and whispered, "Let's bring our sample cars and small cars to the national export preview next year."

Hey!
Chen Luyang's eyes widened.

Although the "preview" is not a formal export, it is an important opportunity to connect with foreign trade groups and machinery import and export companies. Whether we can secure orders from Hong Kong and Macao and cooperate with overseas Chinese businesses depends on our performance this time.

"Then you'll be very busy," Chen Luyang said with deep emotion.

"Busy, of course. Otherwise, what would I do if I were idle all day?" Fu Donghu chuckled as he popped a few peanuts into his mouth.

"If only you were here, you would have so many ideas and could have helped us out and come up with some solutions."

Chen Luyang slapped his thigh with emotion: "Who wouldn't say that? If I were here, I could definitely help you guys out."

Song Liaosha asked curiously, "By the way, brother, I saw that academic journal you mailed back. It's all about projects and experimental sites. What exactly are you working on?"

At this point, Chen Luyang became quite animated.

"Right now, I could say I have one thing to do, or I could say I have two."

"But in the end, it all comes down to one thing."

"What exactly happened..."

Song Liaosha couldn't take it anymore: "Can't you speak like a human being?!"

"Yes!!" Chen Luyang concluded cheerfully.

"Specifically, I want to standardize the specifications of domestic auto parts so that no matter what kind of car comes to our repair shop, I can use a universal part to fix it."

"You want to standardize all auto parts across the country? How is that possible?!" Song Liaosha exclaimed in shock.

"Let's do it! One step at a time." Chen Luyang was quite confident.

"I have now manufactured three types of universal parts."

Speaking of this, Chen Luyang's eyes seemed to blaze with fire, and his whole body radiated a strong drive.

Fu Donghu chuckled: "Are you trying to be the doctor for all the cars in the country? One medicine to cure all diseases?"

Chen Luyang began to analyze the situation for the two of them.

“Think about it, if our factory wants to develop and grow in the future, we can’t just open one repair shop in Pian’er City.”

"As we sell more cars in the future, we will open more and more repair shops."

"There are so many cars on the market, and the models are all over the place. You can't rely on experience and skills alone."

"It depends on standards."

Chen Luyang lowered her voice, but every word was forceful.

"As long as there are standardized parts and mass-producible blueprints."

"Not only will our own repair shops be able to stand firm in the future, but tens of thousands of repair shops across the country will also be able to make a living from this business."

The train carriage was filled with clanging and banging sounds.

Outside the window stretched an endless winter night field, the white snow like the shadows of the past receding little by little, constantly moving towards a brand new future.

"No one has done this before, and it's not easy to do."

"But I now have the best resources and the best platform in the country, and I want to give it a try!"

Song Liaosha was stunned by Chen Luyang's determined gaze.

"You're crazy..."

"I think I'm crazy too."

Chen Luyang murmured softly.

"Think about it,"

"One factory, one workshop, one blueprint, one component!"

“We’ll do it step by step, making changes one by one. It can take ten or twenty years, but we’ll eventually get it done.”

"We can't just think about how well we can live; we have to think about how the whole industry can survive!"

Fu Donghu, who was standing next to him, felt a chill run down his spine.

"Not only have they gone mad, they've completely lost their minds."

"It really got me hooked." Chen Luyang's eyes held a hint of turmoil.

"You haven't seen how repair shops work."

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Tan, Uncle Liu, and Brother Zuo, they are all highly skilled."

"But when you actually get under the car, you see all sorts of models and sizes. If you want to replace a part, you have to go to the lathe and make, modify, or chisel it yourself."

“This is not a solution. This industry cannot rely on ‘talented people’ or skills to survive forever.”

"It needs to have a set method, standards, and the confidence to install the parts as soon as they're assembled!"

Chen Luyang spoke faster and faster, his expression revealing a composure and sharpness beyond his years.

"Not every repair shop can have a master mechanic, and not every place can have an equipment workshop."

“Sometimes a car is sitting in the yard, waiting for a suitable nozzle or gasket, and it can take three to five days.”

He paused, then looked up at the vast snowfield outside the window:
"I always felt that for our country to become rich and strong, it's not enough to just be able to build rockets and airplanes."

"We need to get the screws sorted out first."

"The Four Modernizations cannot just be talked about all the time."

"The mechanic at the repair shop can pick up a box and randomly pull out every part, and it all matches the correct number and fits perfectly into its slot. No need to guess or rely on feel. That's what modern repair is all about!"

As Fu Donghu listened, his forehead began to tingle.

As the head of the procurement department, he had dealt with Wang Qingzhou, Yu Anshan, Dong Jiangchao, and even Liu Dongfang, who had been dismissed before.

In terms of decisiveness, Wang Qingzhou is definitely the leader.

But when it comes to ambition, Chen Luyang's drive is even stronger than that of Director Wang.

There is only one Chen Dazhi.

But what Chen Luyang wants to do is to make every ordinary machinery factory have a "Chen Dazhi".
