Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 829 Are you Chen Changan? I'm looking for you

Faced with Mr. Huang's questioning, Chen Changan was a little amused.

This Engineer Huang is more dedicated and more anxious than Shi Heping was back then.

"Hey Mr. Huang, you went with me to investigate. You know the specific situation.

At present, it still needs the decision of the superiors. Even I have no say in this matter."

Engineer Huang also sighed. He knew the truth, but he just felt that Chen Changan had some influence with his superiors.

If we push a little harder, maybe this matter will have some progress, but now it seems we don’t know how long we have to wait.

Mr. Huang nodded helplessly and said.

"Okay then. I'll go to the library to study. Please inform me immediately if you have any news."

Watching Engineer Huang leaving the office with his young apprentice, Chen Changan was not worried at all about the color TV production line.

The two new products he proposed were the rice cooker and the color television.

The explosive popularity of rice cookers in Hong Kong Island further proves Chen Changan’s vision.

Rice cookers are so popular, so color TVs, which are more practical than rice cookers, will only be more popular than rice cookers. Chen Changan believes that his superiors must understand this.

However, Corning's asking price still needs to be negotiated. Originally, this was Chen Changan's job for the next few days, but now because of the rice cooker, he has to return home early and can only hand it over to others.

Involving such a huge amount of foreign exchange, those involved in the negotiations must be cautious. Chen Changan is also continuing to pay attention to this matter.

After several days of negotiations, things finally came to a conclusion. Corning decided to sell a new 7000-inch color TV production line for US$21 million.

Chen Changan was also very happy when he got the news. This price was relatively good.

Chen Changan even fantasized about whether he should build a TV station in the automobile factory and make it a cable TV so that the entire automobile factory family and some residents of the city could watch it.

I wrote a few scripts myself and asked the factory's art troupe to perform TV dramas.

For example, anti-Japanese dramas, spy war dramas, and even movies like Raise Your Hands.

Even some simple sitcoms that reflect this era.

Chen Changan believes that the automobile factory TV station will definitely receive unanimous praise from the workers.

Every evening, when the TV station starts broadcasting, families with TVs will bring out their TVs, and a large group of neighbors around will bring small stools and stare at the TV closely.

Chen Changan’s idea is very good, but unfortunately some things are not always as expected.

Just when Chen Changan thought that things would go smoothly, the purchase was completed and the equipment was transported to the prepared workshop of the automobile factory. After that, Engineer Huang was in charge of the production of color TVs.

But then I received a call from Uncle Nie.

The voice on the other end of Uncle Nie's phone was very noisy, and a woman's voice could be faintly heard.

Before Chen Changan could speak, Uncle Nie's voice came over with a hint of anger and helplessness.

"Changan, come to my place."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Chen Changan confused and not knowing what had happened.

Then Li Chenglin drove and brought Chen Changan to the department.

The car stopped and just when Chen Changan got out, Uncle Nie's secretary Xiao Liu came up to him.

"Director Chen, there are some special circumstances at the leadership's place, and things are currently quite passive for us. I have no choice but to ask you to come over.

The leader is afraid that you don’t know the situation, so he asked me to come down and explain what happened to you first.

This way, you will be able to handle it better when you face other leaders later."

Chen Changan nodded and motioned for Secretary Liu to continue.

"The thing is, as the leader of the delegation, didn't Corning give each member of the delegation a glass snail when you returned to China?

Originally, this was just an ordinary gift-giving event, and both Leader Nie and the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thought there was no problem.

We had also discussed the production line issue with Corning, and when we were preparing to make the payment, Leader Jiang disagreed.

For some unknown reason, two members of your inspection team wrote to Leader Jiang.

They said that the snails Corning gave to the delegation were intended to humiliate our country.

It is intended to satirize that our country's industrial production capacity is like a snail.

After reading the letter of complaint, Leader Jiang became furious and ran directly to Leader Nie.

It is said that the leader of the inspection team, that is, you, should receive ideological education.

And the snail must be found and returned to Corning.

Leader Nie didn't know how to explain this matter. Leader Jiang's status was somewhat special. If this matter was not explained clearly, we might have to stop the plan of introducing the TV production line.

But don't worry, Leader Nie said that even if we don't introduce a color TV production line in the end, you won't be asked to receive ideological education.

The worst that can happen is that we can maintain the status quo so that you don’t have to bear any psychological burden.”

After listening to Xiao Liu's story, Chen Changan finally understood what had happened.

Just because someone sent a few snails, so many things happened.

Needless to say, the people who wrote the report letter must be the two second-generation people who wanted to borrow money but did not have the money themselves.

It's really like he's doing more harm than good, and he's trying to make a fuss about a snail.

Chen Changan sneered and said to Xiao Liu.

"It's okay. I'll just go and explain it to Leader Jiang. This is all a misunderstanding caused by a lack of mutual understanding."

After saying that, Chen Changan strode towards Uncle Nie's office.

Just when Chen Changan arrived at the door of Uncle Nie's office, he heard the voice of Leader Jiang.

“The US is insulting us by saying we are crawling, and we must never succumb to the pressure of imperialism.

Find the snail for me, we need to go back.

We want to protest to the United States, but at worst we will have to watch black and white TV for the rest of our lives."

Uncle Nie sat on the chair, his face full of anger and helplessness.

I was very angry that Leader Jiang always made a big deal out of everything.

However, given Leader Jiang's special status, it is not easy to lose temper directly.

Seeing this situation, Chen Changan walked straight into the office.

Just as Chen Changan approached Uncle Nie's office, Leader Jiang yelled directly.

"Who let you get close? Don't you know that national affairs are being discussed here? Get out of here."

Chen Changan originally wanted to explain the snail matter, but facing Leader Jiang’s roar, Chen Changan’s temper flared up.

"Master Nie, where did this bitch come from who is yelling here? Should we kick her out?"

When Leader Jiang heard what Chen Changan said, his face immediately turned red with anger.

How many years has it been? No one in the country dared to talk to her like this. Leader Jiang was so angry that he was about to lose his temper on the spot.

When Uncle Nie saw Chen Changan speaking like this as soon as he arrived, he quickly stood up and said to Chen Changan.

"Changan, this is Leader Jiang, please be careful with your words and don't say anything nonsense."

"Are you Chen Changan? That's right, you're the one I'm looking for."
