Chapter Seventy-One: The Leader Passes By

  Before this, Xue Jie never thought that she would fail to sell the oil extraction rod in Dongying and instead bring back a competitor to Daqing. Seeing her leader's enthusiastic appearance, she was very displeased. Until they got on the car, she didn't say a word.

  Colleagues all know her style and dare not say more, only playing cards and chatting in front of her. Shengli and Daqing oil fields are both super-large deputy ministerial enterprises, with a very good relationship with the railway system. Many people, including Su Cheng, who were originally not qualified to take a hard sleeper, also took a hard sleeper, while some cadres at the deputy department level simply went to the soft sleeper car.

  Su Cheng leaned against the headboard, staring at Xue Jie who was sulking below, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the street scenes before crossing over. The beautiful women of the White Bone Clan back then were probably all like Xue Jie.

  It was just in the 70s, but Xue Jie seemed particularly independent and outstanding.

  Nowadays, if the grassroots have the ability to speak freely, they might bring out Xue Jie's story and label it as "post-70s" for evaluation: Unstable post-70s? A ruined generation? A lost generation? Or, non-mainstream...

  Su Cheng suddenly burst out laughing.

  Xue Jie immediately gave a vicious and fierce look, her red lips slightly parted, revealing pearly whites, dangerous yet alluring.

  Su Cheng laughed "haha" twice, then lay down on his back and fell asleep.

  Xuejie had nowhere to vent her anger, so she reluctantly went to find her own bed, but after searching around, it was on the opposite side of Su City, so she simply went to the dining car.

  To Jinzhou to change trains, a group of people took the ticket in the same order, Su Cheng was still facing Xue Jie's berth. This road has nearly a thousand kilometers, no matter what, can't go to the dining car.

  Xue Jie was hesitating whether to find someone to swap tickets when Su Cheng turned over and fell fast asleep.

  Quickly and quietly climbed onto the hardwood floor, rolled up the quilt.

  The next day when Su Cheng opened his eyes, Xue Jie happened to be leaning towards this side. The sunbeam sprinkled on the bed, making the old carriage look more pleasing to the eye.

  Xuejie's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

  Suzhou reluctant to close his eyes.

  Half a minute later, the sound of Xuejie quietly getting out of bed could be heard. After getting out of bed, she seemed to stand in front of the window for a while, forcing Su Cheng to pretend to breathe steadily.

  It wasn't until the carriage became noisy that Su Cheng went forward to wash up.

  The green train rattled along for two days and one night.

  When they arrived at Daqing Railway Station, Su Cheng was almost unable to stand upright.

  However, the cool and refreshing air soon brought him back to his senses. Daqing walked down from the platform with a smile, Xuejie thought for a moment and came over to invite: "Let's go to the city together, you can rest for two days first, and then do the demonstration."

  "We are not tired." Li Jianxiang thought of the tens of millions of orders from the Victory Oil Field, and his whole body was boiling with hot blood.

  Dong Jianjiang is a down-to-earth person, only nodding vigorously in the back, secretly thinking: People from large state-owned enterprises are just different, when do we have time to rest, if I can work until I'm exhausted, I'd be willing.

  "Let's go to the hotel first, you guys take a bath, and then we'll head to the oil field." Xue Jie smiled lightly, put on a white scarf, and walked ahead. From behind, she looked like a fashionable young woman, but it was hard to associate her with the agile figure on the oil field.

  Su City quietly followed behind, looking around China's largest oil city. Compared to the Victory Oil Field, Daqing's conditions are much better, with a crude oil output of over 50 million tons at its peak, nearly twice that of the Victory Oil Field, so much so that production limiting measures had to be implemented. In terms of administration, Daqing is also an extremely capable enterprise, until the late 1990s, CNPC had been established for over 10 years, but its management of the Daqing oil field was still limited to one aspect: overall contracting. The rest, including personnel and finance, were each managed separately.

  In front of the platform, people hurry to come and go.

  Arrived at the hotel, just settled down, but saw a certain leader's secretary rushing up quickly, whispering: "Director Su, sorry, the product introduction will have to wait a few more days." "What's wrong?" "Just wait a few more days and it'll be fine." The secretary refused to say any more.

  Dong Jianjiang has been running business for many years and took the initiative to go and understand the situation.

  It wasn't until the afternoon that he ran back, mysteriously saying: "There are central leaders passing by Daqing Oil Field and will be inspecting for a day, everyone is busy preparing."

  Su Cheng let out a sigh of relief. For such an enterprise, the central leadership was naturally more important than any business. He only asked, "Which central leader?" "I heard it's the Minister of Central Propaganda Department." Huo Chang let out a sound of surprise.

  Although named as "ministries", the Central Propaganda Department and the Central Organization Department are both "important working departments". Not only are the ministers appointed by central leaders, but also important deputy positions are held by full ministerial-level leaders.

  When encountering such a situation, Daqing abandoning Su City is nothing more than normal.

  A few days later, the preparatory work for "passing by" leaders was finally completed. After determining the inspection route, the leader who went to the Victory Oil Field finally had some free time and asked the secretary to schedule a product briefing in the conference hall of the Exploration Department, with the time tentatively set for the second day after the inspection.

  As for the experimental process on the oil field, it has been completely busy and neglected.

  Upon hearing this news, the faces of Huo Chang and Li Rongxiang were not very good. The anti-bias grinding system is a production equipment, if it doesn't even go through on-site experiments, let alone on-site demonstrations, the order quantity from Daqing Oilfield can be imagined.

  Li Xiang even said angrily: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

  He Chang hesitated and said, "We just won the 10 million yuan order from Shengli Oilfield, which is enough for our factory to produce for a while. If the orders from Shengli Oilfield are too small, the cost of our back-and-forth maintenance will be high. What if they only give us 100 sets..."

  The Shengli Oil Field only gave Daqing Machinery Factory an order for 100 oil extraction rods.

  Su Cheng shook his head firmly and said, "How much money can a hard-seat train ticket make? Even if it's just one ticket, the profit is enough."

  Dong Jianjiang also said: "Selling a oil extraction rod can earn at least one month's salary, no matter how much it is." If he knew that the 2,000 yuan anti-bias grinding system in Suzhou had a production cost of only 360 yuan, he might not have said so.

  He Chang and Li Rongxiang quickly set up the venue.

  The day of the leader's inspection, Daqing was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

  Various decorations are hung on the roadside of a newly built road, giving a Christmas-like atmosphere.

  A group of people from Suzhou came out of the hotel early to check on the preparation for the product report meeting at the exploration office. Although they couldn't get the big order they had hoped for, for a unit like Daqing Oilfield, there wasn't much difference between 100 sets of anti-deviation grinding systems and 1,000 sets. But for Dahua Industry, the difference between 200,000 yuan and 2 million yuan was huge.

  In this regard, product report meetings are still of considerable value.

  "If it wasn't for the leader's inspection, maybe we could have gotten a big order." Su Cheng arrived at the conference room and had just checked the decorations when he saw chaos outside the window.

  "What's wrong?" He grabbed one of the passing staff members.

  "Director Qi suddenly changed his schedule and decided to inspect the exploration site." The other party responded with a sentence and ran away like a rabbit.
