County Magistrate Ji and Secretary Sun looked at each other, wondering what Cao Weidong's intention was when he suddenly took out a piece of wire.
Cao Weidong said.
"This thing is called memory metal, and it has quite magical effects."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked over.
It's not right to call it iron wire. It's actually a very thin piece of iron, about the size of a palm. It's silvery white in color and looks very thin and light.
"You may not think that this thing is ordinary, but it has great abilities. I even dare to say that as long as you can tap out the abilities of this thing, it will be easy to make Wan'an County rich."
He laid a lot of groundwork.
Arouse everyone's emotions.
Then a cadre was selected and asked to bend the iron plate into any shape.
The cadre asked with some anxiety.
"Can I bend it as I please?"
"Yes, you can bend it any way you want."
"But...will this thing break?"
The cadre took the memory metal and felt it was a little heavy on his hand. He took it in his hand and touched it. It was still a little soft, as if he could leave a fingerprint by just squeezing it.
Cao Weidong smiled.
"If you can break this piece of metal with your bare hands, I will give you a big black piece."
Hearing this, the cadres became somewhat interested.
After seeking the consent of Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Ji, he tried to bend it hard.
As a result, the iron plate was easily bent at a huge angle.
The cadre was stunned for a moment.
He exerted force again.
This time the metal plates are folded together directly.
But that’s all.
This metal plate is stronger than he thought.
No matter how he tried, he couldn't break the metal plate.
Cao Weidong wanted the metal plate back and asked other cadres to try it.
Everyone took turns trying it.
But it can only bend the memory metal more and more, and cannot break it with bare hands.
Secretary Sun's face darkened.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, it's meeting time now, we're not here to watch a show."
"Hush...the most exciting time is about to come."
Cao Weidong waved his hand, and regardless of Secretary Sun's livid face, he opened the window and placed the bent ball of memory metal in the sunlight.
Then he asked a young clerk to find two kerosene lamps, light them and place them on both sides of the memory metal.
Secretary Sun was attracted by Cao Weidong's movements and stared blankly for a long time.
But there is no change in this so-called memory metal.
Secretary Sun realized that he might have been tricked and stood up from his seat angrily.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, you don't want..."
"Look!"
Cao Weidong points to the metal block.
Secretary Sun looked over involuntarily.
Then he was stunned.
I saw the metal ball slowly squirming, like a sunflower welcoming the rising sun, slowly unfolding!
This magical scene completely shocked everyone present.
"It moved, Tie Tuo Tuo actually moved!"
"This is incredible, how can it be like a plant?"
The unique properties of memory metal are completely beyond the imagination of the cadres.
They all marveled.
County Magistrate Ji stood up, took two quick steps to the window to observe carefully, and said excitedly.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, how did you do it?"
Cao Weidong laughed and said: "County Magistrate Ji, do you still remember the slag you gave me in the steel plant?"
County Magistrate Ji nodded.
Of course he remembers.
Those things were just a pile of metal garbage, and they still took up space, so I simply packed them all up and threw them to Cao Weidong for disposal.
He suddenly reacted.
His eyes were widened and his breathing was a little rapid.
"Could it be that...this thing was found from those slags?"
"That's right and wrong."
Cao Weidong explained.
"The reason why there is a lot of slag in our steel plant when making iron is because the purchased iron ore contains a lot of associated ores, and these associated ores contain a lot of rare metals."
"Due to problems with metallurgical equipment, when iron was forged, these rare metals were left in the form of slag..."
He explained a few words and then said.
"I tried to extract these rare metals from slag, and then forged them in different proportions. I unexpectedly got this alloy. I call it memory metal."
"As the name suggests, this memory metal has a shape memory function. No matter how it is bent, it will automatically recover as long as the temperature rises to a certain level."
"And using this property of memory metal, we can do a lot of things."
After a pause, he looked at Secretary Sun with a half-smile.
"You just asked me why I was in the steel factory. I was actually studying these things in the steel factory, thinking about how to turn waste into treasure and lead our Wan'an County to make a fortune."
Secretary Sun’s face turned red.
My heart is full of self-blame.
Cao Weidong thinks all day long about how to make a fortune with Wan'an County.
Looking back on myself, as a leader of cadres, I am nepotistic and thinking about some stupid things.
Cao Weidong said lightly at this time.
"I have a good relationship with the top leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy. I have already sent the memory metal trustee to Minister An. It is estimated that leaders from the Ministry of Metallurgy will come to inspect it in the next two days."
"This thing has great potential. If we in Wan'an County can seize the opportunity, we can definitely take off."
What?
The leader of the Metallurgical Ministry is coming?
Secretary Sun and County Magistrate Ji were overjoyed.
This is a great thing.
At the same time, they hated the secretary who made his own decisions and the captain who colluded with each other even more.
It’s really dangerous.
Wan'an County almost missed an opportunity to take off because of them.
.......
A few days later.
County Magistrate Ji walked into Secretary Sun's office with the materials.
As soon as he entered the door, he was startled.
"Old Sun, what's wrong with you?"
"Forget it, I haven't slept well these past few days."
Secretary Sun’s hair is gray and his whole person is extremely haggard.
County Magistrate Ji looked at Secretary Sun with some sympathy and said, "You still have to pay attention to rest. The thing has happened. Let's just find a way to solve it."
Secretary Sun waved his hand and said with a wry smile.
"I understand the truth, but I just blame myself... Forget it, let's not mention this anymore. How is the investigation going?"
County Magistrate Ji handed over the information.
"Everything has been investigated clearly. This one is about Lu Xingchao, and this one is about Duan Derui. You can take a look."
"I won't watch it."
Secretary Sun became more and more stooped and sighed.
"Let them all be severely punished, especially Lu Xingchao... By the way, where is Comrade Cao Weidong?"
County Magistrate Ji said helplessly: "What else can I do? I'm just having a little mood."
Secretary Sun said: "It's understandable that the child has been wronged. I think we should give him some compensation."
"What compensation?"
"Give people, give money, give trust."
County Magistrate Ji laughed.
"You want to go with me."
The two of them were chatting about how to appease Cao Weidong, when there was a knock on the door, and a county party committee cadre came in and reported: "County Magistrate Ji, Secretary Sun, people from the military region are looking for you."
