Seeing Tie Jun holding a bag and carrying a big bag, Lu Jianye patted the handlebar.
"No need, it's not heavy, I can just carry it."
Tie Jun smiled. In the bag was a woolen tunic suit prepared by Lao Tie for his senior brother. There were also two bottles of Maotai given by Tie Biao.
Lu Jianye smiled and didn't insist. He heard the splashing sound, which must be good wine. He didn't trust himself and was afraid of being beaten!
Tie Jun frowned as he walked through the factories and workshops one after another. Some workshops were crowded and full of energy, while others were filled with only three or two people and lifeless.
Born and raised in heavy machinery, it can be said that Tiejun has witnessed the heavy industry in Northeast China, from glory to stagnation, and then to crises.
With the transformation from planned economy to market economy, Northeast Heavy Industry has faced unprecedented storms.
Tiejun, who has lived through his whole life, knows better than anyone how terrible the effects of the mudslide caused by that storm were?
Hundreds of iron mountains collapsed!
Thousands of lights are flickering!
In a few years, hundreds of thousands of workers were unemployed and in need of food, and the term laid-off was born. This heart-wrenching realization affected several generations.
Tie Jun sighed and pointed to a workshop he had just passed, where a few workers were hammering on machines.
"Brother, your heavy machinery is the first heavy machinery factory after the founding of New China and the "cradle" of the machinery industry. How can it be worse than our Bingcheng Heavy Machinery?"
"Can not Understand it!
In the past few years, I worked overtime every day, shouted slogans loudly, and worked hard.
But who knew that market saturation would turn us into this!
If you haven’t seen our inventory yet, it’s called a mountain of inventory!
If there aren’t that many orders, why produce so many machines?
well......"
Lu Jianye was in a very excited mood, and it was obvious that the turbid energy in his chest had been accumulating for a long time. His last sigh made anyone feel sad when he heard it.
"Brother Lu, there will be bread, there will be milk, there will be everything!"
Anna stretched out her hand, put it on Lu Jianye's hand pushing the bicycle, and comforted him with increasingly proficient Chinese.
Lu Jianye looked at Anna and said to himself, "You are like bread and a cow, but brother, how about I eat rice?"
"Xiao Lu, friends are here? Why are there still international friends?"
A Santana drove up behind him, and a gray head poked out of the car window, looking at Lu Jianye and asking.
"Oh, factory director, where can I meet international friends? They are looking for my master!"
The factory manager stretched his head back, presumably to ask the driver to stop, and Santana pulled over a few meters ahead.
The car door opened, and the factory manager stepped out of the car. He looked about fifty years old, wearing a jacket, with a thin face and bright eyes.
Xiao Lu pushed the car a few steps quickly and reported to the factory director with a smile: "My uncle's son is from Bingcheng Heavy Machinery."
Tie Jun and Anna came over, and the factory director smiled and said: "Haha, we heavy machinery people welcome you! My name is Hu Fenglai, the director of this factory."
"Hello, Director Hu, my name is Tie Jun, her name is Anna, I came here from the Soviet Union to find someone!"
Tie Jun and Anna shook hands with Director Hu respectively. Director Hu's eyes stayed on Anna for a few seconds longer.
Tie Jun didn't take it seriously. When he saw such a foreign horse with its front and back curved, the old man was more relaxed than the young man, so he liked to look at it a few times. It was normal.
Director Hu looked away and asked Tie Jun with a smile: "Is Master Tie still so strong?"
Unexpectedly, Director Hu knew Lao Tie. Tie Jun was stunned for a moment and quickly replied: "You know my father? He is stronger than me, haha!"
"Of course we know each other. Your dad and I, as well as Lao Lei, were all at Anshan Iron and Steel back then. I was the one who went through the formalities for your dad's transfer!"
"Ah? Then I have to find a chance to thank you properly. Without you to handle the formalities for my dad, I wouldn't be where I am now!"
"Hahaha, that's what I mean! Let's go, the front is Lao Lei's territory, go in and talk. Don't let that second son explode and kick you again!"
Factory Director Hu was quite humorous. As he spoke, he pointed to the workshop in front.
Standing in the wind at the door of the workshop was an old master with the same gray hair.
"Look, what did you say? Wait a minute. This is it."
After Director Hu finished speaking, several people walked forward faster. When they arrived, before they could speak, Lao Lei kicked Lu Jianye in the butt.
"What are you bluffing about? Who asked you to hook up with the factory director!"
"I do not......"
"Get in!"
Lu Jianye shrank his neck, put the bicycle upright, and ran into the workshop without looking back.
Tie Jun was dumbfounded and felt that this old man was possessed by Lao Tie.
They are really brothers, with the same fiery temper and the same drive to kill anyone they catch.
Factory Director Hu took a step forward, pointed at Lao Lei and said to Tie Jun and Anna: "Come, let me introduce you..."
"Excuse me from being the director of the factory. Why does my junior brother's son want you to introduce him to something? You should quickly think of ways to raise funds. National Day is coming soon. Why are you not in a hurry?"
Factory Director Hu coughed a few times and was choked by Lao Lei. Tie Jun thought about it and made up the mud with a smile.
"Director Hu, you are busy first. Later I will go to your office to pay you a special visit!"
"Oh, welcome! Okay, Ms. Anna, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Director Hu!"
"Lao Lei, then I'm going back to the office!"
"Um!"
Lao Lei nodded, squeezed out one word, and Director Hu turned around and left. Lao Lei's face suddenly changed, just like Lao Tie.
"Come on, let me hug you. When you were one year old, you often peed on my lap!"
Old Tie Jun's face was slightly red. Old Tie was annoying in that way. He didn't like to chatter and didn't talk about anything. He was here by himself and he didn't want to spoil the past.
"Hello, Uncle Lei! Your legs are so straight, it turns out I watered them!"
"Hahaha, that's right!"
Lao Lei tightened his arms around Tie Jun. Well, another iron hoop is wrapped around him, which is called strength.
"Hey, hey, you don't have to, I'm afraid I'll strangle you to death!"
The two men separated, and Anna Zaba came over, but was stopped by Lao Lei.
"Let's go to the lounge and chat slowly!"
Lao Lei waved his hand to the workshop, and Tie Jun, Anna and Lao Lei walked into the workshop.
The workshop was very large, with the same layout as Bingcheng Heavy Machinery. The welding torch was flashing and many workers were working. At this time, they all turned around and slapped Anna on her body.
"What are you looking at? Work hard for me!"
Tie Jun was excited, Lao Lei's voice was louder than Lao Tie's, and the rows of yellow helmets turned back in unison.
"Second brother, go and buy two bottles of soda!"
"Well done, Master!"
Lu Jianye jumped high and ran out of the workshop. A row of little yellow hats turned around, and there were pairs of envious eyes below.
The lounge is very large, with rows of cabinets with numbers written on them, and long chairs next to the cabinets, a bit like a bathhouse dressing room.
In the middle are two old-fashioned solid wood desks that are paired together. They are still benches. Lao Lei made a gesture to sit down.
