"The medical team members arrived in Tanzania, traveled thousands of miles to deliver medical services, and traveled far and wide to save lives and heal the wounded..."
In 1972, a song called "Medical Team Members Arrive in Tanzania" recounted the hardships faced by Chinese medical team members who went to Africa to save lives and heal the wounded.
As early as 1950, after a batch of medical supplies arrived in North Korea, Pujiang's grand history of foreign aid began.
In the following 20 years, the Pujiang International Liaison Bureau, directly led by the central government, has provided assistance to more than 110 countries.
Among them, more than 90 countries have per capita GDP exceeding that of my country.
"In addition to material assistance, Pujiang also sent many red and professional technical personnel," Xu Muchun said:
"There were several senior intellectuals who were still working hard on local aid projects until the last moment of their lives."
Jiang Shan, like the old comrades sitting here, listened silently to Xu Bureau's narration.
“In July 1955, Yanjing established a match working group to aid Vietnam in order to provide complete sets of facilities.
In the same year, it was decided to establish a match design group for Vietnam and a match factory named Tongyi in our city."
Jiang Shan, who was drinking porridge, felt his heart skip a beat.
I really didn’t expect that the country would take this matter so seriously.
Not only did they build a match processing factory, they also established a design team.
"In 1957, due to the increasing number of foreign aid projects, the Match Design Group was renamed the Vietnam Aid Office." Xu Muchun tapped the chopsticks in his hand slightly:
"At the end of last year, the Vietnam Aid Office, which had been relieved of its tasks, was officially handed over to the Pujiang Light Industry Bureau, and was quickly put into my area of responsibility. What is its name..."
The sign was just put up in January 1980, and Xu Muchun hadn't even called it Shunzui yet.
Section Chief Han, who was sitting nearby, quickly reminded: "Export Supply Office."
"Yes, that's the name. Now I have a team and two signs." When he mentioned the team, Xu Muchun suddenly said:
“We originally had an engineer, but last year he suddenly said that he wanted to develop in a beautiful coastal area like Hawaii.
Xiao Jiang, I have always reserved his seat for you. If you are interested someday, you can come to me at any time."
When Wang Shixiang heard this, he quietly glanced at Huang Yongyu.
The meaning is obvious, never let your nephew go there.
Huang Yongyu closed his eyes for three seconds to express that he had received it.
Of course he understood what the other party meant.
Back then, when Qi Gong and Zhu Jiajin received invitations from Gubo, Wang Shixiang was actually invited.
But in the end, only Wang Shixiang declined.
Like Huang Yongyu, he doesn't like to go to work, he only likes to retire.
“As beautiful as Hawaii?”
Jiang Shan changed the topic directly. He knew what to do without being reminded by others: "Where is that place?"
Xu Muchun: "Shekou."
Jiang Shan: "Is it that beautiful?"
"I don't know if it's beautiful or not," Xu Muchun really wanted to go over and take a look: "I heard from my old subordinate that that place has been busy blasting mountains and reclamation for the past six months."
"Such a big movement?" Jiang Shan looked very yearning: "It seems that now is not the time to go."
"Do you want to go and see it too?" Director Xu has been giving Jiang Shan more and more smiles recently: "When I am not busy for a while, let the office organize an opportunity to visit and study in Shekou. Then you can follow me."
"Okay," Jiang Shan nodded: "I'll wait for your notification."
"Where did I just say that?"
"Speaking of which, the match factory is under your control."
"..." Xu Muchun waved his hand: "To be more precise, I should be the one to worry about it."
As soon as he said this, everyone present laughed.
"Judging from the current situation, the profits of match factories of all sizes in Pujiang are very good."
Many young women who work in match factories would not even look down on a date from the post office or the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
"But it will be difficult to say in the future. In recent years, some match factories in our city have been actively helping brother units across the country improve production technology. It is said that the output of match factories in various places has increased significantly."
As a result, the efficiency of the match factory in Pujiang will definitely be affected.
"However, these have little to do with the match factory I took over," Director Xu began to focus on: "Because its sales mission is still external, not internal."
"Matches were originally imported, so they were also called matches. my country used to be a big importer of matches," Section Chief Han, who was next to Director Xu, suddenly said:
“In the fifth year of Guangxu’s reign, the first Chinese match factory was founded in Foshan, Guangdong.
In 1920, the first match factory in Pujiang was also born.
After continuous development, our country once became a major exporter of matches.
We have cooperated with match factories in our city as far away as Eastern Europe.
However, due to the thin profits of matches, the high cost of long-distance transportation, and the special period, they gradually lost the international market.
Now I want to restore it, but I find that the match production technology in other countries is already far ahead."
"None of these are problems," Xu Muchun narrowed his eyes: "Don't forget, there is also a match design team that is crossing over."
"At present, the design team has not only designed a variety of packaging for matches," Section Chief Han said while handing a stack of drawings to Jiangshan:
“We have also improved the craftsmanship of matches, such as high-end aromatic matches, wind- and moisture-resistant matches, colored matches...
In addition, after our research and preparation, the factory will start the production plan of hotel matches and high-end matches.
Everything is just like Director Xu said, either we don’t take over the factory or we don’t take over it. Now that we have taken over, we must be responsible for the factory to the end.”
Section Chief Han's words showed Xu Muchun's determination.
For a moment, Xu Muchun said nothing, only looked at Jiangshan quietly.
Jiang Shan raised his head and met the other person's gaze: "What do you need me to do now?"
"I need you to help me," Xu Muchun said word by word:
"I need you to help this match factory, which has been idle for two years, restart its external production tasks. But this time, the products of the Uni-President Match Factory must not be given away for free."
You must never do a business that is losing money.
When it comes to this matter, Jiangshan is definitely good at it: "Not only can't it be given away for free, but all the previous foreign exchange must be earned back."
"That's right," Xu Muchun nodded slowly: "That's what it means."
"That……?"
Now that the slogan has been shouted, Jiangshan has to ask carefully: "Where is our intended export country this time?"
"India, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and South Korea," Xu Muchun wanted to take over the exporting countries he had lost one by one:
"This time, I am also planning to place advertisements in Hong Kong, Macao and even Japan."
Jiang Shan touched his forehead: "The styles of matches in that place are very pretty!"
Xu Muchun: "It doesn't matter, we will produce whatever is popular with them."
Section Chief Han: "The collection and research teams have returned to China one after another. The future positioning of the Unified Match Factory will be mainly mid- to high-end matches."
Xu Muchun's team has done their homework this time.
"Xiao Jiang, I remember you once said that starting with the end in mind is the right direction of effort."
"Understood," Jiang Shan knew what he should worry about: "From now on, you just direct the production, and leave the promotion work to me."
"Similar to the Zhonghua Pencil advertisement," Xu Muchun reminded: "Tongyi Factory's matches are also sold in multiple countries."
"I have written it down," Jiang Shan nodded: "Please allow me to think about it for a few more days."
"Don't be stressed," Xu Muchun has already begun to look forward to it: "This is not something to rush, just think about it carefully."
"I listen to you!"
"Eat your fill first."
After speaking, Xu Muchun glanced at the table.
Section Chief Han stood up immediately and made arrangements to go early.
He was in trouble before, so he didn't notice that these silent old professors were so good at eating.
"Xiaojiang,"
After the task was completed, Xu Muchun's appetite improved a lot: "Where are we going to take a few professors to for a while?"
Before Jiang Shan could speak, Huang Yongyu said: "These old friends of mine would like to visit the Pujiang Museum."
"Museum?" Xu Muchun didn't expect that people who work in museums every day would still want to go to the museum after traveling far away: "It's better to go to a brother's unit to have a look."
Zhu Jiajin looked at Xu Bangda and said with a smile: "The museum in Pujiang is the old base of our half-foot-long man."
"Oh?" Xu Muchun knew that these people were not simple.
Knowing the modesty of these people, Jiang Shan took the initiative to introduce them: "Mr. Xu had been engaged in leadership work in the Pujiang Museum before he was transferred to Yanjing."
"Yes," Xu Muchun said, "It turns out that Mr. Xu and Pujiang also had a fate!"
"Nong knows how to cut," Xu Bangda said with a smile, "Wu is a native of Pujiang!"
"What a coincidence," Xu Muchun laughed: "I am a native of Pujiang, but I came from Yanjing."
"Hey," Huang Yongyu said with a smile: "You two are switching defenses!"
"In that case," Xu Muchun decided immediately: "Let me be the host today. After breakfast, I will send everyone to the museum first, and we will discuss where to go next."
When Jiang Shan heard this, he was stunned: "Isn't this... too troublesome for you?"
"What's the trouble?" Xu Muchun saw the food was served again: "Hurry up and eat. After that, let's go to the museum together."
"Then let's..." Jiang Shan looked around at several old comrades: "How about being respectful and obeying orders?"
"The leaders have spoken, how can we not listen?" Huang Yongyu felt that Director Xu was a good person: "Why don't you thank your director quickly?"
"Thank you Director Xu for taking care of me," Jiang Shan stood up and served porridge to the director: "You should also eat more."
…
Not long after, two cars from the Light Industry Bureau parked in front of the Pujiang Museum one after the other.
After the group got off the bus, they took a closer look at the Pujiang Museum.
This Zhonghui Building with the characteristics of the times was once the place where Du Yuesheng opened Zhonghui Bank.
"At the time of preparations in 1950, I had not yet been transferred to Yanjing," Xu Bangda pointed upward: "At that time, the new location was chosen in the Jockey Club Building, and Mr. Chen picked the land himself."
"This place was also chosen by the boss himself," Xu Muchun, with his hands behind his back, looked up together: "In 1959, because there were too many collections, the museum had to change its location again."
Just as the elders looked up and looked at each other, Jiang Shan was also watching quietly.
The Pujiang Museum of this era was still very slim, far less impressive than the big hot pot of later generations.
"Let's go," Xu Bangda waved his hand: "You have to take a closer look at the museum in Pujiang. It is no less impressive than the old museum."
"That's right," Zhu Jiajin also agreed with this point: "The large cauldron in our museum was sent here."
"Without the support from brothers and units from all sides," Wang Shixiang said fairly, "the Gubo would not be as glorious as it is today."
Several people in the industry strode forward, followed closely by Jiang Shan and Xu Muchun.
The moment you enter the Pujiang Museum, the rich ancient charm hits your face.
Each piece of collection that comes into view seems to be gently chanting its past.
A group of people walking there felt like walking into a long river of history.
Unconsciously, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang gradually walked in line with Jiang Shan.
Before they could think of their words, Jiang Shan spoke first: "Teacher Wang, I heard that you are very knowledgeable about lacquerware?"
Wang Shixiang's pace slowly slowed down: "I have indeed been thinking about it for many years, but... I wonder if the lacquerware I studied is the lacquerware you mentioned."
Jiang Shan smiled: "Can you please accompany me to a place later?"
"where?"
“Friendship Mall!”
This time, Wang Shixiang stopped directly and said after a few seconds: "Just in time, I also want to take a good look."
"Why don't you..." Jiang Shan smiled and asked, "Tell me about it here first!"
"become,"
At this moment, Wang Shixiang suddenly remembered the article Jiang Shan wrote for Lao Xu: "Don't just say it for me, young people must also speak actively!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
When he turned around again, he found that Huang Yongyu had already disappeared.
Faintly, Xu Bangda's voice was heard continuously...
