The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Chapter 1390 Visiting Lu Gong

Lin Zhiyuan and Lu Tiesheng were sitting side by side in the back seat of the Audi car. Through the car window, they could clearly see factories, workshops, buildings on both sides of the road, as well as various black pipes crossing the road.

Everything in front of him was very familiar, as if he had turned back time and Lin Zhiyuan had returned to Le Gang five years ago.

In 1954, more than 22 builders from 55 provinces, municipalities, 727 cities, 8 enterprises and units across the country met on the grassland, ate and slept in the open, hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder, creating a human miracle of building a steel city in the Gobi Desert. , built one of the three major steel bases in New China, and started the road to grassland industrialization.

Among so many construction units, leather steel is undoubtedly the most important one, so most of the factory buildings here have a strong color of leather steel.

Lu Tiesheng was very interested. He kept pointing with his hands and introduced Lin Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, that is the ironmaking plant. Did you see the blast furnace? The technical transformation was just completed the year before last."

"That's the coking workshop of the chemical plant."

"Zhiyuan, after this integration is completed, Cao Steel will have money. I plan to continue to expand the scale and upgrade equipment..." Lu Tiesheng kept talking about his dreams.

"Mr. Lu, I am not pouring cold water on you. There is no problem in upgrading the equipment, but it is better to expand the scale."

Lu Tiesheng was very confused, "Why?"

"Because Caogang is located inland, its function is not to export, but to support industrial construction in grassland areas. The current production capacity is sufficient, and it is unwise to blindly expand the scale."

Lu Tiesheng was a little unconvinced, "Zhiyuan, Lesteel Steel has a Yangcheng branch, and Shanghai Steel is also growing. Why can't Cao Steel? You are now the leader of Yanjing, so you can't be partial!"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lu, domestic steel companies will inevitably enter a period of rapid development in the future. Overcapacity will be a matter of time. Where will so much remaining production capacity go? It must be exported. Grassland Steel has no advantage in exporting. ”

"Will such a day really happen?" Lu Tiesheng still didn't believe it.

"There is another very important reason. I hope that Caosteel can shift its focus to rare earths in the future, instead of blindly developing the steel industry. Rare earths are Caosteel's important profit point in the future. Mr. Lu, I think you are now What should be studied is how to establish a modern production line for rare earth refining.”

"Zhiyuan, is this the purpose of your coming to the grassland?" Lu Tiesheng asked in a deep voice.

Lin Zhiyuan nodded heavily, "Originally, I planned to say these words in two days, but now that the words have reached this point, I have to make it clear to you."

"A modern production line for rare earth refining..." Lu Tiesheng lowered his head and seemed to be talking to himself.

"Mr. Lu, you have more experience in this area than me. I hope your future work focus will shift to this."

"Okay, let me think about it." Lu Tiesheng still trusted Lin Zhiyuan, and he knew that Lin Zhiyuan couldn't be wrong.

Lin Zhiyuan thought of something, "By the way, Mr. Lu, I want to visit Mr. Lu tonight. My grandpa also asked me to prepare some gifts."

"Okay, even if you don't tell me, I still plan to invite you to my house. My dad has told me several times since he found out that you are the one leading the team this time, saying that he wants to invite Factory Director Su's grandson-in-law to come. Dinner at home.”

Lu Tiesheng's father, Lu Wanliang, was an engineer at Legang. In the early 1950s, he came to the grassland as a construction aid worker sent by Legang, where he took root and became the first generation of Grassland people.

Lu Wanliang was the vice president of the technical department of the hot rolling mill when he was working at Lesteel. The director of the hot rolling mill at that time was Su Qiancheng.

In 1995, Lu Tiesheng accompanied his father on a trip to Legang, and Lu Wanliang and Su Qiancheng met at that time.

Four years later, Su Qiancheng learned that Lin Zhiyuan was going to Cao Steel on a business trip. I specially prepared several gifts and asked Lin Zhiyuan to bring them to Lu Wanliang.

Lin Zhiyuan has always remembered this matter, but he had to attend the welcome dinner last night, so he could only schedule it tonight.

Lin Zhiyuan rode around in Lu Tiesheng's car until noon. The two returned to the Cao Steel Bureau Building and had lunch with the staff of the large working committee.

In Caogang's large cafeteria, Lin Zhiyuan once again found the old feeling. Since there were too many people from Legang among the original construction aid workers, the dishes in the canteen retain a lot of Northeastern flavors.

When Lin Zhiyuan came back here, it was like going home.

People from the large working committee were arranged by Lu Tiesheng to eat in the small canteen.

While eating, Lin Zhiyuan called the four deputy team leaders to his side and asked them about their work progress in the morning.

The four deputy team leaders all said that Caogang was very cooperative with the work and had prepared complete materials. Judging from this progress, the first phase of the work is likely to be completed ahead of schedule.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. If we can really finish it ahead of schedule, let Mr. Lu treat us to a big dinner."

Lu Tiesheng, who was sitting on the side eating, laughed loudly, "No problem, I wish I could have it!"

After another busy afternoon of work, in the evening, minibuses took the staff of the large-scale working committee back to Qingshan Hotel to rest.

Lin Zhiyuan did not go back with the car. He got into Lu Tiesheng's car, went back to the hotel to pick up the gifts, and then went to Lu's house.

The Lu family is located in Qingshan District. It is the community where the earliest leading cadres of Cao Steel live. It is somewhat similar to Tai Town in Ge'an.

Lu Tiesheng's residence is a two-story building with a large yard.

When Lin Zhiyuan got off the car, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and the white-haired Lu Wanliang hurriedly walked out, arriving before anyone else, "Xiao Lin, we meet again, how is Director Su's health?" ? I miss him so much!”

Lin Zhiyuan replied loudly: "Gong Lu, my grandfather is in good health and misses you very much. The old man knew that I came to Caogang this time, so he specially brought you a gift."

"Okay, okay, okay, Xiao Lin, please come in." Lu Wanliang enthusiastically let Lin Zhiyuan into his home, asked him to sit down on the sofa, and then pestered him to tell him about Su Qiancheng's current situation.

"Gong Lu, now grandpa lives with me and my wife in Yanjing. If you have time, you can go to Yanjing and meet, have a drink and chat."

"Okay, I will definitely go. When Tiesheng goes to Yanjing for a meeting next time, I will follow him. I really want to see Director Su again. For people of our age, meeting him once is one less time." Lu Wanliang's words were a little sad.

Lu Tiesheng hurriedly changed the subject, "Dad, you can't always call me Xiao Lin. Now I am Assistant Lin, the big leader of Yanjing."

"Gong Lu, don't listen to his nonsense. No matter where I sit, you are my senior. Just call me Xiao Lin."

That night, Lin Zhiyuan had dinner and drank wine at Lu's house until 8:30, when Lin Zhiyuan said goodbye to Lu Wanliang, who still had lingering feelings, and returned to Qingshan Hotel.
