Zhang Xudong didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he ran to Director Feng's office.
He asked Director Feng for a stack of blank letters of introduction, then picked up the official seal on the table and started pressing it.
Director Feng looked at Zhang Xudong speechlessly and said:
"You're trying to prepare a lifetime supply of letters of introduction, kid."
"You are always busy, I am afraid that I will be annoying if I keep coming to you.
Look how much easier this is, once and for all." Zhang Xudong said with a playful smile.
"Where are you going? Don't get into any trouble." Feng Changchang instructed him.
"Don't worry, Uncle Feng, why are you worried about me doing things?
By the way, Uncle Feng, do you want to add new products to our factory?"
Zhang Xudong said as he stamped the document.
"I want to! But what can we do? We don't have the machines and the technology, so we can't do anything." Director Feng sighed.
"Just tell me, do you want to make a machine tool or a harvester?
Even if you want to make a car, I can get you information and samples.
I think you should consider a tricycle.
This thing is simple and easy to make, all you need is a diesel engine." Zhang Xudong made the promise right away.
After hearing this, Director Feng immediately stood up and said:
"What kind of tricycle is this? Why does it need a diesel engine?"
Zhang Xudong drew a rough drawing of a diesel tricycle for it.
"Please take a look at this diesel tricycle. It looks roughly the same as a pedal tricycle.
It uses a diesel engine as its power source, so it can pull more, run faster and is not picky about the road.
The structure is simple, and the main parts are the diesel engine and gearbox.
The technicians in our factory should be able to design it."
"That's a good idea. This thing really isn't that difficult for our factory?
No one could come up with this idea.
This thing has many uses.
We can't afford the machine tools and cars you mentioned, so let's just make this.
Once this is sorted out, the higher-ups may be able to approve some production plans.
I'm going to a meeting now to discuss it, so you can do whatever you need to do."
Director Feng said this and left Zhang Xudong and walked out of the office.
Zhang Xudong shook his head. In this era, people in the factory valued the factory much more than their own sons.
After he stamped the official seal, he wrote a letter of introduction for himself for a business trip on the table.
Zhang Xudong took the letter of introduction, bought a train ticket in the city, and headed south.
There was no rush to work at this time, so there were not many people on the train.
After sitting on the train for a day, Zhang Xudong realized that he didn't need food coupons to buy meals on the train, he just needed cash.
When it's time for dinner, a staff member will run back and forth on the train.
Anyone who wants to eat pays thirty cents and then you will be given a meal ticket.
After a while, someone will push a cart through the carriage.
Those who bought meal tickets could exchange them for a lunch box with him.
These lunch boxes are made of aluminum, and are filled with half a box of rice, covered with a layer of oily vegetables.
It tastes pretty good, much better than the boxed meals that cost twenty or thirty yuan per portion on trains in later generations.
After the meal, the staff will take away the lunch boxes and chopsticks.
If you don't need a letter of introduction to take the train, I'm afraid the train will be packed with people suffering from famine.
This train runs shakily and slowly, and stops at every station.
This speed is not as fast as Zhang Xudong's driving.
After barely making it to Zhengzhou, Zhang Xudong couldn't stand the train anymore, so he got off.
After finding a secluded place outside the station, Zhang Xudong released the jeep, drove through the city and continued heading south.
Henan was a severely affected area during the three-year famine. Zhang Xudong had no mood to look at the scenery along the road and was just focused on getting on with his journey.
There are many things to do on the road, and there is always fighting and killing on the road.
We traveled by day and stayed by night, marking the space we entered and exited in each provincial capital city.
On the fifth day, Zhang Xudong finally arrived in Guangzhou.
He didn't stop and drove straight to the seaside.
When he arrived in Bao'an County, it was already evening.
But he found that there were more and more people on the road.
There were about forty or fifty of them, all in groups of three or five, walking towards the east.
Zhang Xudong parked the car on the side of the road and waited for dark.
When it got dark and there was no one around, Zhang Xudong parked his car and chased after the crowd in front.
After catching up with the crowd, Zhang Xudong followed quietly behind and listened to their conversation.
As a result, these people were discussing how to climb over the barbed wire as they walked.
Where to run after climbing over the barbed wire, where to meet up if you get separated, etc.
It turned out that these people were all planning to smuggle themselves into the port city.
Well, that saves a lot of trouble. Just follow them.
Zhang Xudong recalled a report from later generations, which said that Bao'an County still had 4,000 acres of farmland on the other side of the barbed wire.
The farmers here go to the barbed wire fence to farm during the day, and after work they can go to the port city to play before going home.
It seems that they are very familiar with the terrain over there. We should just follow them.
This group of people probably didn't come from the same place, and no one said anything when Zhang Xudong blended into the crowd.
From their conversation, Zhang Xudong learned that they were planning to cross the barbed wire from Sha Tau Kok to the New Territories.
This is a long mountain road.
As long as they can run into the port city, they will not be deported.
