A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 825 No! Not strong enough!



Chapter 825 No! Not strong enough!

In a corner, those who knew the inside story exchanged hushed opinions, their tone filled with sighs of regret for the "instigator" far away in the Northeast:

"Tsk tsk, no wonder everyone says that when it comes to industrial construction, you have to look to the graduates of Wudaokou Vocational College for practical work. The comrades from Zhongguancun College of Arts and Sciences are certainly bookish and have a lot of theories to offer, but... they're a bit out of touch with reality."

"Hey, don't be so obvious about your intentions. Hey, speaking of which, shouldn't we consult 'that person' about such an important matter?"

"What are you thinking? When have you ever seen him in this kind of abstract meeting?"

They truly immerse themselves in the workshops and fields, quietly solving practical problems.

The things he created might look unremarkable, but the effect... hey, it really hit the mark!

……

The murmurs drifted into the small conference room.

As the elderly men listened to the discussions outside about production capacity and technology, they couldn't help but picture a certain figure with a tuft of hair sticking up and down.

"Speaking of which, that kid's been working hard in the Northeast. Let's give him a break and let him relax for a few days. So-and-so is coming back soon, so let's take this opportunity to let them meet and settle some important matters!"

"That's right, these little things don't need his help at all!"

"Except for grain reserves, which are a red line and cannot be touched, the rest... these farm tools and industrial products, I think we can do something about them!" the old man decided.

"Since everyone has reached a consensus, let's settle on this!"

"Okay! However, shouldn't we reconsider this payment method? We need to consider the risks."

"Yes, being cautious is a good thing. But there's no need to worry too much," another leader interjected, his tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning:

“We have people keeping an eye on things there. Besides, isn’t Hong Kong still the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ of the lobster man? If anything goes wrong, they’ll be the ones with the headaches, they deserve to take the blame! Hehehe…”

"That's why it's beneficial to have a window to see the world!"

Thus, the debate came to an end. Soon, all the relevant factories across the country were assigned production tasks of varying sizes, and the machines immediately began to rumble and turn.

In particular, the newly produced mini tillers and seeders from the Comprehensive Machinery Plant were priced directly at the same level as Bald Eagle's under Uncle Jin's "brushstrokes." The price of a mini tiller was almost the same as the retail price of Bald Eagle's domestic tractors.

The profit from this resale is more than 1,000 percent.

It really proves the saying: Only a fool wouldn't do that! All that hard work making pots and pans, at best just enough to moisten your mouth by plucking the fur of a bear, is nothing compared to the thrill of plucking the fur of a bald eagle—it's both precious and thick!

Moreover, the feeling is different. If you say you're plucking a bear's fur, there's a slight reluctance to do so for your fellow class brothers, but when everyone's plucking a bald eagle's fur, it's so easy and enjoyable.

Regarding your question about stance...

Uh, do you guys remember when the wicked rabbit arranged for two different breeds of camels to live in adjacent rooms?

Making a little money is never shameful!

……

While factories across the country were operating at full capacity, a pharmaceutical factory in Northeast China was facing a problem.

1200 tons of dried Isatis root syrup!

Upon receiving the production order, the factory manager felt a wave of dizziness as he looked at the telegram. Was he going to have to endure this forever?

It's not that the factory doesn't want to work there, it's just that the objective conditions are too restrictive.

At that time, the national chemical pharmaceutical industry was still underdeveloped, with only about 200 chemical pharmaceutical plants of a certain scale, and most of them had rudimentary equipment.

The large-scale industrial production of prepared Chinese medicines is still in the exploratory stage, with only 37 professional Chinese medicine factories nationwide.

This pharmaceutical factory in Northeast China is already the only one with strong technical capabilities capable of producing Banlangen syrup. Want to temporarily shift production? There's simply no one willing to take over!

“Our factory is the largest in Northeast China, with only three Chinese medicine extraction workshops. The largest extraction tank is only 500 liters. It can extract a maximum of 200 kilograms of medicinal materials at a time, producing 100 kilograms of dry syrup. Even if we operate 24 hours a day without stopping, we can only produce 0.5 tons at full capacity. It would take more than 6 years to produce 1200 tons…” Old Zhang from the technical department flipped through the statistical reports in his hands, his voice trembling.

"Production capacity is secondary; the key is raw materials! According to last year's statistics, the annual output of Banlangen (Isatis root) in China was only about 2500 tons, which had to supply prescription drugs for pharmacies across the country and a small amount of other finished drug production."

This task of producing 1200 tons is equivalent to allocating nearly half of the country's Isatis root... Where will the raw materials come from?

The factory manager sighed: "Alas... everyone has forgotten that our Chinese medicine grows from the soil, unlike Western medicine which can be synthesized in reaction tanks to increase production."

"Foreign exchange quotas... the higher-ups will definitely coordinate and support that, but this Isatis root... it's not like leeks; it won't grow like crazy just by being planted!"

The factory reluctantly reported the actual difficulties to its superiors.

The higher authorities then realized what was happening and quickly coordinated with the agricultural department to increase the purchase of Isatis indigotica nationwide and urgently plan to expand its planting area.

Meanwhile, Uncle Jin also revised the contract overnight, extending the delivery period to five years and agreeing to the "cash on delivery" method, which alleviated some of the pressure.

However, the contract also specifies that the first batch of 100 tons must still be provided in the short term for emergency use.

One hundred tons?

If we switch to a larger container, it should still be fine!

Just as the factory manager was thinking of getting a 5000-liter Chinese medicine extraction tank once and for all, little Cheng Gui came to the door crying and carrying her notebook.

"No! We absolutely cannot use large tanks for production!"

"What?"

If it were anyone else, the factory manager would have knocked them out the door with a hoe. But not this person…

because,

The person in front of you is the inventor of Isatis root syrup!
