Chapter 214 Welcome to the country of freedom and democracy
The situation is urgent.
Without further ado, Cao Weidong hastily packed up his toiletries and went out with Section Chief Lu.
The Red Star sedan is waiting outside the door.
Secretary Li drove Cao Weidong and Section Chief Lu to the Capital International Airport.
This is the fourth domestic airport to open international flights and was officially put into use in 1958.
If you want to go abroad, you can only start from here.
On the way, Section Chief Lu said to Cao Weidong.
"Our destination is New York. I will go there with you. You just need to do your job of visiting and inspecting it. Don't worry about anything else. I will find a way to contact the overseas Chinese there and find the expert who has the key technology.
”
Cao Weidong nodded.
Soon, the Red Star car stopped in front of the terminal.
Cao Weidong took the passport, visa and air ticket from Chief Lu, and followed Chief Lu into the terminal.
When he got here, he realized that except for himself, everyone else had already arrived.
There are seven people in this inspection team.
Cao Weidong serves as the group leader.
Responsible for the actual implementation of foreign car inspections, which is the technical core of the entire team.
Section Chief Lu serves as the deputy leader of this inspection delegation.
His duties are similar to that of a political commissar, responsible for the ideological education of league members and preventing comrades from violating discipline abroad and affecting China's reputation.
The remaining personnel are translator Xiao Wang, security guard Shi Man, and three young technical backbones from Jinghong Auto Repair Factory.
The three people at Jinghong Auto Repair Shop are all young.
The leader is a young woman with refreshing short hair.
She took the initiative to come over and say hello to Cao Weidong.
"Hello, Mr. Cao, my name is Ma Ying, they are Ren Wei and Dong He, we are all employees of Jinghong Auto Repair Factory, and we are also specially appointed teachers of our auto repair training class."
Ma Ying’s generous opening
The whole person exudes a kind of heroic spirit.
Jinghong Auto Repair Factory did not know the purpose of this overseas inspection.
Several old masters agreed that this is a good opportunity to broaden their horizons and connect with international standards.
Jinghong Auto Repair Factory is only allocated three places.
This quota is really precious.
After discussions among many old masters and factory committee cadres, everyone finally decided to give the opportunity to the young people from Jinghong Auto Repair Factory.
So after multiple rounds of selection, Ma Ying, Ren Wei, and Dong He were selected from the entire factory.
Cao Weidong still has some impressions of these people.
It seems that these people were involved when building the Red Star sedan.
Cao Weidong encouraged.
"When you go abroad, you should learn more and see more. Although we have produced a domestic V8 engine, there is still a big gap with the West. We must recognize the reality and don't be proud."
"Of course, there is no need to be overly discouraged."
"The West has traveled many years further than us. It is certain that it will surpass us. Only by recognizing the gap can we achieve transcendence."
He knows the gap between his country and the West in this era.
So get vaccinated in advance.
The three people from Ma Club nodded excitedly.
Keep Cao Weidong’s words in mind.
At this time, Smith's voice came from afar.
"My friend, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. The plane is about to leave. Let's board the plane first."
Smith was accompanied by overseas Chinese Du Bin and two strange men in black.
They walked over from the other end of the terminal.
Cao Weidong greeted him with a smile.
"Okay."
Check-in procedures are cumbersome.
Chief Lu is the most experienced among these people.
He walked at the front with the tickets and letters of introduction, and led everyone to board the plane.
Under the guidance of the crew, several people sat in their seats.
In the cabin, Ma She and others' faces turned red with excitement.
"It turns out this is a plane. It's incredible that such a big iron thing can fly into the sky..."
In this era, very few Chinese people have ever flown.
Everyone is very rare.
Touching left, looking right, shouting and screaming from time to time, very much like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden for the first time.
Even the most disciplined Shi Man is no exception.
Therefore, Cao Weidong, who has always been calm and composed, has become particularly conspicuous.
Smith watched from the sidelines.
He asked curiously.
"Cao, have you ever flown a plane before? Why do you look so...skilled?"
Everyone around them pricked up their ears.
This question is actually also a question on their minds.
Cao Weidong smiled and said: "No, this is my first time making an airplane."
Smith was surprised: "Then you are not surprised at all?"
"Of course not. The essence of a car and an airplane are the same. If you understand the mechanical principles, you can naturally settle down."
Cao Weidong started talking nonsense again.
He understands the mechanical principles of woolen aircraft.
It’s just that I often traveled on business in my previous life, so I’m used to it.
Section Chief Lu looked at Cao Weidong with monster eyes and exclaimed: "You are such a damn all-rounder, you can even understand airplanes."
Cao Weidong nodded and said lightly: "I understand a little bit."
While everyone was laughing and joking, the plane started.
Everyone in the inspection team suddenly did not dare to speak. They fell silent and sat upright, nervously waiting for the plane to land.
However, this wait lasted more than twenty hours...
.......
There is no direct flight from Sijiucheng to Yingjiang.
Everyone stopped the plane several times before arriving at the New York Airport.
At this time, Smith's role as a local snake is reflected.
Under his leadership, everyone successfully completed various immigration procedures.
At the door of the passenger hall, Smith said proudly: "Everyone, welcome to the greatest country in the world! This is a world of democracy and a paradise of freedom."
The inspection team walked out of the passenger hall.
What comes into view is a brand new world that completely subverts their understanding.
Looking at the streets with tall buildings, busy traffic and cars, it feels like traveling through time and space and entering the future world.
Everyone in the inspection team was greatly shocked.
After coming here for a long time, they all woke up from the shock, and they all seemed to be a little uninterested.
The bus that Smith contacted in advance has arrived.
Under his command, several skinny half-year-old children held the inspection group's luggage and tried hard to stuff it into the luggage rack of the bus.
Ma Ying and others stepped forward to help, but were stopped by Smith.
"Don't worry about them, my friends, this is their job, let's get in the car first."
"Mr. Cao Weidong, and the elite inspection team from China, I will prepare a banquet for you in the evening to cleanse you from the wind and dust. We will start the formal inspection work tomorrow."
"I contacted a car manufacturer and he agreed to let us visit and study, but the time was only half a day."
Cao Weidong withdrew his gaze without any trace.
The so-called democracy and freedom are nothing but based on exploitation, with a very small number of people enjoying the support of the majority.
He sneered silently in his heart a few times, and then said: "Of course, you will realize that this is an absolutely worthwhile investment."
Smith said with satisfaction.
"Cao, you are really a born capitalist, I like you very much."
Cao Weidong spread his hands.
"But I only like women."
Smith burst out laughing.
Their chatter and laughter washed away the disappointment of everyone in the inspection team.
