Did Chapter 140 result in a loss? No, it was just one part of the plan.
After everyone left, only Yang Youning and Jiang Xia remained in the office.
Jiang Xia was too lazy to persuade him. After all, someone who would even give up the big red flower to someone else wouldn't be bothered by such things.
He found some tea leaves and wanted to use his master's tea jar to brew a cup of tea.
Yang Youning watched his movements, then reached under the table and pulled out an enamel mug: "New!"
"Hey, Uncle Yang, you're finally talking? You've figured it out?"
"Think it through my ass! You're a traitor, just like your master!"
"Tell me! Did that old bastard Li Huaide bribe you?"
Jiang Xia spat twice: "Look at what you're saying! My master's direct department is the Ministry of Machine Building, which is higher in rank than your deputy director-general level position. In your case, it's a case of high rank but low rank! You yourself are still on the road of 'running to the ministry to get ahead'!"
Yang Youning gritted his teeth: "You little brat, are you here today just to annoy me?"
"No way! Don't you think it's a good thing to distribute the blueprints at this stage?"
"To put it bluntly, the ministry said it was soliciting opinions, but the decision was actually made a long time ago. Such a large factory like the Imperial Garden Factory, do you really think they'd just sit idle? Even a fool wouldn't do that!"
"Besides, didn't you hear Uncle Lin's assurance just now? Without the approval of higher-ups, could a secretary like him make such a confident statement?"
"What kind of conspiracy are you trying to pull? Don't blame me if you get crushed by the big hand later!"
Yang Youning wasn't stupid; he recovered quickly.
He excitedly inquired about the expansion of the Jiangxia engine workshop.
Since the "little hot hatch" isn't unique anymore, producing engines is still quite impressive. Yang Youning's eyes narrowed again as he imagined factories unable to manufacture engines coming to him for help.
Jiangxia shrugged, saying he couldn't make a master bed without the materials. Without a master bed, there would be no gear hobbing machine, no drilling machine, and no boring machine.
Without these machine tools, engine production could not have been expanded.
So the most important thing is to get the materials back.
What's the material? Tungsten alloy!
"At the very least, important components like the guide rails and lead screws must be made of tungsten alloy!"
Hearing Jiang Xia say this, Yang Youning scratched his head in frustration: "I've already asked around. It seems that only the logistics department has some stock, but those big shots don't care about us and say they don't even have enough for themselves."
"If you keep doing this, won't it create a vicious cycle? Can't you just make do with stainless steel?"
"You're overthinking it, it just won't work! Unless the high-frequency electric furnace from that little guy comes along, the steel refined with that thing might not even meet the minimum standards!"
"However, there is a way to break this deadlock." Jiang Xia took a big gulp of tea.
"Xisuo!"
"If others won't give them to us, we'll buy them ourselves!"
Yang Youning looked Jiang Xia up and down: "I'll skin you and wash you clean. Do you have ten pounds of meat?"
"They're all skinny, nobody would want them even if they were given away for free!"
Jiang Xia grumbled angrily, "The pot!"
"You think your broken pot can really be sold for foreign exchange?"
"It's guaranteed to work, don't you even look at who recommended me!"
"Moreover, this time we've given away all our best-kept blueprints, plus some foreign exchange, and anyone with a shred of decency wouldn't dare to steal them!"
Although Jiangxia doesn't know what the foreign exchange policy is like right now, with the right amount, it shouldn't be a problem to apply for and buy some special alloys, right?
Of course, buying the alloy wasn't Jiang Xia's main objective; something else was more important...
Looking at the confident Jiang Xia, Yang Youning nodded: This kid doesn't seem to have been talking nonsense before, let's believe him one more time.
"However, you'll have to get me some rubber rings. I absolutely need them for the pressure cooker! And it has to be done quickly, within the next couple of days!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xia handed a set of blueprints to Yang Youning.
Yang Youning stared dumbfounded at the irregularly shaped, round rubber ring.
Why? Because China doesn't produce this stuff anymore; it's all imported!
Didn't you see the hospital at that time? They even disinfected a rubber tube before reusing it.
One moment it serves as an IV drip tube, the next as a tourniquet. When it gets old, the nurses will wrap it up with yarn and make it into a hair tie to wear on their heads.
It truly has multiple uses in one tube.
"Can't you get something else?" Yang Youning said with a bitter face, really not knowing where to find anything.
"no!"
"Without this thing, there's no seal, and what kind of pressure cooker is it if there's no seal?"
"Could you try looking for it at the Ministry of Chemical Industry? Remember, be quick!"
He stopped drinking the Jiangxia tea and ran off in a flash.
“Ministry of Chemical Industry? You know the Ministry of Chemical Industry better than I do! Didn’t you go to provide support?” Yang Youning shook his head and shouted loudly.
"I've done everything, so where is your value?" Jiang Xia's light voice came from outside the door.
Yang Youning scratched his head. Hey, this kid, he's gone against the Heavenly Gang!
Thinking this to himself, his hand obediently reached for the phone: "Hello, connect me to the Chemical Industry Department!"
Jiang Xia hid outside the door, listening to Yang Youning start making a phone call, before quietly leaving.
He did have acquaintances in the Ministry of Chemical Industry, but didn't Wang Kui offend them?
Director Liu from the Chemical Equipment Department wrote to me a couple of days ago, saying that once he gets back, he'll definitely settle accounts with the person who dared to intercept his tractors. He even said something about how five tractors weren't enough and asked if I should lend him five more to make it a round number so he could pay off the debt.
Hey, I don't believe you! You old geezer, why don't you learn from that emperor and borrow five hundred years?
Jiang Xia didn't want to get involved in this bad luck.
I stretch, what should I do now?
Should we go back and catch up on some sleep?
Oh right, I can't sleep yet. The handles I ordered from the lumber mill should have arrived by now. I should go assemble them and see.
After all, it was a leader who took it out, so it can't be too undignified.
Hmm, should we carve some patterns on the pot to make it look more upscale, so that the Russians will buy it in droves?
As he walked along the corridor, he pondered the situation.
Seeing that Li Huaide's door was open, she curiously looked him over.
Xu Damao stood there with a long face.
Oh, this guy's back!
Jiang Xia was furious when he thought about how he actually wanted to renovate his house with only 8 yuan.
but,
If he hadn't done it this way, we wouldn't have gotten that little courtyard!
Thinking about this, Jiang Xia felt at peace.
Without disturbing them, I hurried to the confidential workshop. My colleagues have been testing the air fryer these past two days, and they've gotten so oily their mouths are practically dripping with grease.
Nan Yi's recipes are almost filling up her little notebook.
……
Looking at Xu Damao in front of him, Li Huaide felt a strange stomachache.
He threw the 100 yuan back at me: "Do you think I'm short of money? 100 yuan for a cricket? You're insulting me!"
But you're quite talented; thinking about subcontracting is truly ahead of your time. If you do it well, great; but if you mess it up, you'll have to bear the consequences!
Looking at Li Huaide, whose mood was unpredictable, Xu Damao was also frustrated.
"Why the hell didn't you just say we should be more respectful to Jiang Xia? Instead, you used the word 'pay attention to,' which, taken out of context, is hardly a good word!"
Xu Damao recalled the movie scenes he had shown and nodded affirmatively.
"Pay attention" is not a good word!
Especially the emphasis on "pay attention to"!
