Chapter 322: No Fight, No Acquaintance
However, it seems normal that Jiang Haitang can win the Science and Technology Innovation Award at such a young age.
"You guys probably don't know this yet, but Comrade Haitang is not only an expert in textile machinery, but also a very good translator. Back then, Comrade Haitang made a significant mark at the Canton Fair."
Everyone knows that Jiang Haitang is from the Northwest. Deep down, they actually look down on the Northwest. After all, that place is really backward.
Elder Chen glanced at the group and continued, "Comrade Haitang attended the Canton Fair for the first time. She single-handedly helped two factories secure several large orders, instantly reversing the difficult situation they were facing. Her foreign language skills are excellent, and she's very professional and diplomatic. It was at the Canton Fair that Vice Minister Zhou recognized her as a rare talent."
As the few people listened to Mr. Chen's introduction, their eyes looked at Jiang Haitang differently.
They are good at their profession, but they are really not that good in other aspects.
"Comrade Haitang, you are amazing. I didn't expect you to know foreign languages."
Jiang Haitang just smiled and said a few humble words, then led everyone towards the exit.
They saw the sign of the receiving unit at the exit.
The reception unit made all the arrangements in an orderly manner and sent them directly to the factory guesthouse.
The guesthouse of Huacheng Chemical Fiber Factory is a newly built three-story building. It is not as grand as Huacheng Hotel, but it is clean and tidy, exuding a pragmatic atmosphere.
The factory arranged four rooms. Mr. Chen had one room to himself, Jiang Haitang, Xiao He and Xiao Chengzi had one room, and the other three male engineers and Xiao Zhao, an officer, squeezed into two rooms.
Jiang Haitang originally planned to spend her own money to open another room, but the factory staff said that if she opened a separate room, she would live alone, and it would be more convenient to live with her children.
In fact, the factory staff were also surprised that the female comrade who came this time not only brought her child, but also brought a relative to take care of the child.
They had never seen such a situation before.
However, since Jiang Haitang was the only female comrade in the group, it was not inconvenient to make the arrangements.
Jiang Haitang had no choice but to accept the factory's kindness.
After putting down my luggage and washing up, the factory receptionist came.
The people who received them were a deputy factory director named Lin and Section Chief Liu from the technical department.
After the greetings, Director Lin enthusiastically introduced the situation of the factory and the arrangements for the next few days.
"Thank you all for your hard work, experts! Our factory is a key national introduction project. This set of equipment from Country D has just been installed and debugged and is in the trial production stage. We just need your experts to give us guidance!" Director Lin said enthusiastically.
This is a new machine. I heard that some foreign companies will deliberately change some of the parameters when exporting the equipment, which leads to frequent problems with the mechanical equipment. We have to ask them to deal with it again and again, which costs a lot of foreign exchange.
If only the experts who came this time could help deal with this problem, a lot of trouble could be avoided.
On behalf of everyone, Mr. Chen exchanged a few polite words with Director Lin.
Director Lin added, "Mr. Chen, the guesthouse is quite simple, but living somewhere else is really far from our factory. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
"No, no, Director Lin is so polite. The accommodation is very good."
"The canteen has prepared a simple meal. Shall we eat and chat at the same time? We still have many questions to ask." Director Lin obviously knew Mr. Chen's status, so he was very polite when speaking to Mr. Chen.
We had dinner in a small private room in the factory cafeteria.
The meal was not very sumptuous, but it had a very southern flavor, including steamed fish, boiled chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of traditional Chinese soup.
Xiao He carefully fed Xiao Chengzi first, and then quickly ate some himself.
At the dinner table, the topic naturally revolved around the imported equipment.
Director Lin and Section Chief Liu introduced the difficulties encountered in the introduction and some problems encountered during the trial production, their tone full of anticipation.
As the team leader, Mr. Chen said some words of encouragement and affirmation on behalf of the group.
Having worked in a textile factory, Jiang Haitang knew very well the difficulties they were facing now.
She listened very attentively, and occasionally used D language to confirm the accuracy of equipment models or professional terms, which made Section Chief Liu's eyes light up.
The factory was actually a little confused and puzzled about the fact that a female comrade came this time, and that she brought a child with her.
Although there are few experts in the country, they are not so scarce that we have to send a breastfeeding woman, right?
However, since the other party had arrived, they still took it seriously. Now, after listening to what Jiang Haitang said, they were surprised to find that this female comrade might be the most powerful person in this group.
If this is the case, then it is understandable why Mr. Chen wanted to bring a female comrade holding a child with him.
Director Lin and Section Chief Liu were both smart people. After realizing the crux of the matter, they became much more respectful towards Jiang Haitang.
Li Xinghai, Zhang Jianguo and Yun Zhihao also raised some questions from their own professional perspectives.
The atmosphere was cordial and professional.
When dinner was about to end, the factory director arrived.
The factory director is a middle-aged man in his fifties named Wan Shaou.
When Director Fang saw Jiang Haitang, he was stunned for a moment, but did not say anything. Instead, he greeted Mr. Chen first.
After shaking hands with Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen introduced the people he brought with him to Director Fang.
Director Fang laughed and said, "I was just saying that this woman looked familiar, but I felt she wasn't her, so I didn't take the initiative to say hello."
Jiang Haitang also recognized Director Fang. The two had met once before at the Canton Fair. At that time, a foreign businessman was hesitating between the fabrics of the two factories, and in the end, Jiang Haitang snatched the order with his professional qualities.
Chen Lao asked curiously, "Does Director Fang know Comrade Haitang?"
"We know each other. We're not strangers to each other. Comrade Haitang snatched a large order from our factory back then."
Jiang Haitang felt a little embarrassed at this point, and said with a smile, "I'd also like to thank Director Fang for giving way. I hope you will forgive me for any offense I've caused."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not a petty person. We were competitors at the time, and you did nothing wrong." Director Fang said with a hearty smile.
At that time, he actually thought about poaching this person, but after he found out about the relationship between this female comrade and the director of the textile factory, he gave up the idea.
But I didn’t expect that this time, Comrade Haitang came to the factory as a member of an expert group.
But he would not ask why Jiang Haitang's identity changed.
"However, this time, our factory's project still needs Comrade Haitang's full support." Director Fang said politely.
They talked for a while, but it was getting late. They had been on the train for several days and were exhausted, so Director Fang and Director Lin took them back to the guesthouse.
When we arrived at the guesthouse, we were faced with a real problem: the weather in the south is hot and humid, and there are many mosquitoes.
Little Orange had delicate skin and tender flesh, and was soon bitten and had several red bumps, and was whimpering from the itchiness.
Xiao He was extremely anxious. The mosquito net he brought was fine on the train, but it didn't match the bed in the guesthouse and he couldn't hang it up.
She had no choice but to keep using a fan to drive away mosquitoes for the child.
Jiang Haitang looked distressed, and Director Fang said sheepishly, "Director Fang, I'm so sorry, could you please help me find an old mosquito net or some window screen material? The child is too young and I'm afraid he can't handle it."
This was her personal problem, but now she had to trouble the factory. Jiang Haitang felt really embarrassed.
Director Fang slapped his head and said, "This is our mistake. Director Lin, please contact the logistics department as soon as possible and have mosquito nets sent to the comrades. We have a lot of mosquitoes here, and you may not be used to it."
Li Xinghai wanted to say no, no need to go through so much trouble, but when he saw Jiang Haitang's frowning face and the red spot on Xiao Chengzi's arm, he swallowed the words back.
He even subconsciously waved his hands to help drive away the non-existent mosquitoes around him.
After a while, someone really brought a mosquito net and also thoughtfully brought a few bottles of cooling oil.
"This cooling oil is very effective in relieving itching. Rub it gently on your child." The female comrade who delivered the mosquito net was very polite.
Jiang Haitang thanked them repeatedly and, with the help of the guesthouse staff, set up the mosquito net.
I applied some cooling oil on Little Orange, and the little guy seemed to feel more comfortable and slowly fell asleep.
Zhang Jianguo sighed, "This little guy was so well-behaved and sensible along the way, but now he's at a disadvantage here!"
Yun Zhihao also nodded: "Yes, it's not easy to take children out."
The next day, the real technical exchange and discussion work officially began.
Xiao He didn't need to come with him, so he just took Xiao Chengzi to the guesthouse.
The little guy obviously didn't want to leave his mother and babbled, wanting to follow her.
Jiang Haitang hardened her heart and said a few words to Xiao He, then turned and left.
The machines in the workshop were roaring and the temperature was much higher than outside.
Jiang Haitang and a few others need to follow the team and move around the production line most of the time.
Experts from Country D were conducting debugging explanations on site. She quickly read the labels and random information on the equipment, and accurately translated and explained the key information to Mr. Chen, Engineer Li, Engineer Zhang, and Engineer Yun in real time, and participated in technical discussions and records.
Sweat quickly soaked her back, and the strands of hair on her forehead stuck to her skin.
But she remained focused, her notebook densely packed with key points.
Not only is her translation accurate, but she often combines her own technical practice in the Northwest to provide understandings and suggestions that are more in line with domestic realities, which has greatly benefited several engineers and factory technicians.
Several male comrades admired her work attitude.
Several people said privately that it was no wonder that he could achieve such success at such a young age. The effort alone was something that others could not achieve.
The work attitude of several people has become more serious than before.
