Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 827: Uncle Nie Picks Me Up at the Airport

When the plane landed in Sijiu City, everyone in the inspection team was excited.

No matter how good a foreign country is, it is still someone else's country. No matter how bad your own country is, it is still home.

There is always an indescribable excitement when a wanderer returns home, and even Chen Changan is no exception.

Uncle Nie was waiting for Chen Changan at the airport gate, looking at the large and small bags of luggage that Chen Changan and his companions were carrying, and said with a smile.

"You, Chen Changan, really never suffer any loss wherever you go. You can bring back so many things even after going abroad."

Looking at the luggage in the hands of himself, Li Chenglin and Mr. Huang, Chen Changan felt a little embarrassed.

Especially Mr. Huang, who brought back so many books. In order to prevent them from being lost, he and his little apprentice wanted to watch the books the whole time.

At this time, Mr. Huang and his young apprentice did not need any help with their luggage.

“The main reason was that my wife was afraid that I would have nothing to wear when she went there, so she brought too much luggage.

Mr. Huang said that many books in the United States are very helpful to our country's television and semiconductor industries.

So I bought a lot of books, but they took up a lot of space, so I didn’t buy many real gifts.”

Uncle Nie nodded. He also learned some things from the foreign affairs personnel.

She was very satisfied that Chen Changan did not indulge in enjoyment after earning the money, nor did he buy expensive gifts, but instead purchased some professional books.

"Even though I called you back this time, there's no point in seeing you, right?"

“No, in fact, we have almost reached an agreement with Corning.

Huang also praised Corning's equipment, saying that it was the most advanced technology in the world. The only thing left was the price.

Corning offered $21 million for a complete set of -inch color televisions.

But in business, it’s a matter of asking for a high price and paying it back. I think the final transaction price will be around 7000 million US dollars.”

Uncle Nie nodded, and was very satisfied that Chen Changan had managed to get things to the current level in just a few days.

“The reason why I called you back temporarily this time is because the rice cooker you researched is very popular in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.

As soon as the Fok family unveiled the rice cooker, it became popular in Hong Kong Island.

We received 100,000 orders on the first day, and then we received tens of thousands of orders from Japan and South Korea.

As the news from the Huo family gradually spread, there were orders for nearly ten thousand rice cookers every day.

It’s not that there are no rice cookers on the market, the main reason is uneven heating.

The rice cooker you developed is not only convenient for cooking, but also heats very evenly and basically will not get stuck.

The Huo family demonstrated it on the spot in the mall and immediately received positive reviews.

The Huo family did not expect that an electric rice cooker would cause such a sensation.

He directly asked us to produce one million rice cookers within a year.

I don't know how this thing is produced. Please tell me, the workshop director in your factory who is responsible for the production of rice cookers.

At present, the rice cooker workshop only has one set of production equipment, and he has no one under him. He relies entirely on some family members to help. He has no say in many things.

Faced with the pressure of selling millions of rice cookers a year, I have to call you back.

After all, I don’t know whether color TVs can earn foreign exchange in the future, but this rice cooker can definitely earn foreign exchange.

Don't blame me for losing the big picture for the small, although your superiors agreed to your 43 plan.

But faced with such a huge investment, even the superiors feel pressured.”

Chen Changan nodded. He could understand that the investment in the entire 43 Plan was too huge. If it failed to achieve what Chen Changan had said, the country would suffer heavy losses.

There are so many color TV manufacturers in the world, and it is still unknown whether we can snatch profits from these companies in the end.

Rice cookers are so popular nowadays, how can you not seize the opportunity?

Chen Changan was in charge of the rice cooker project from beginning to end, and no one dared to interfere. They could only call Chen Changan back to preside over the production of the rice cooker.

“The rice cooker is simple, and our automobile factory can make the production line itself.

The only thing left is the problem of the injection molding machine. At present, one injection molding machine can barely maintain the operation.

The remaining issue is the workers. Some of the family members can be regularized, and you can solve the remaining vacancies as you see fit."

Uncle Nie felt relieved when he saw Chen Changan smiling.

Before Chen Changan came back, not only him but even his superiors were unsure about what to do when faced with an order for rice cookers worth millions.

Who wouldn't be envious of such a large order? Each rice cooker is worth real money. But facing the order, I want to accept it but I dare not.

None of them knows whether the production volume can be achieved. If it cannot be completed, all their credibility will be lost, and they may even face more problems.

Now that Chen Changan is back, faced with such a huge order, he solved it easily in just a few words.

Not only that, but they also gave me hundreds or even thousands of regular job opportunities at once. This was a great opportunity to earn favors.

Uncle Nie sighed.

"You are the lucky star that Lao Xiao has given me. Over the years, I have watched many of my old friends being treated unfairly.

But I have been able to sit in this position safely because of you, Chen Changan. To be honest, I need to thank you.

You never asked me anything from the beginning to the end, but I kept asking you."

Without waiting for Uncle Nie to finish, Chen Changan spoke.

"Uncle Nie, please don't say these words. I don't ask for anything in return. This is all for the country and the people.

It's not that I don't have selfish motives. I have done so many things just because I hope that if one day I am treated unfairly, I will have a talisman.

So far, it seems that this amulet is quite effective. Not only me, but also the people around me can benefit from it. That's enough."

Uncle Nie nodded, calmed down, and said with a smile.

"Come on, I'm here to welcome your delegation."

Just like that, Chen Changan got into Uncle Nie's factory and drove towards the city.

"Uncle Nie, when we came back from the United States this time, Corning gave each member of our delegation a glass snail.

Corning is the world's most powerful company producing cathode ray tube glass.

Most companies around the world that produce cathode ray tubes use their equipment.

It has become a common practice for their company to give a glass product as a gift to any delegation that intends to purchase their equipment.

Although this is a glass product of little value, this matter still needs to be reported to you.

In addition, we bought a lot of books this time, and I plan to set up a small library in the car factory.

Put these books and materials in it. There are many people like Mr. Huang who need these books.

As long as they need it, they can read it anytime. Later, I plan to find the Huo family and ask them to buy some books that are useful to our automobile factory on a regular basis and add them to our automobile factory library.

Although it seems to be of no use now, people like Mr. Huang will learn something from these books.

One day in the future, our country's television technology may no longer rely on imported equipment, and we will be able to become a major television production country.

The value created by then will far exceed the value of purchasing these books before.”
