Chapter 88 Fertilizer Plant

Shen Ruoqing came to the county town again on a tractor, but this time the one driving the tractor was Shen Xiangnan.

After parking the tractor, Shen Ruoqing took Shen Xiangnan to the department store first.

"Little sister, aren't we here to find help? What are we doing in this department store?" Shen Xiangnan asked a little foolishly.

"Second brother, shouldn't we take some gifts when we ask someone to do something for us?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Then what should we buy?" Shen Xiangnan looked at the various counters in the department store, looking here and there, just like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

"Just buy a pack of cigarettes and some cakes." Shen Ruoqing only planned to buy ordinary gifts.

"Are we only buying this little bit? With this little bit, can they approve the fertilizer for us?" Shen Xiangnan was a little naive, but not stupid. If it was so easy to get fertilizer, the captain wouldn't be so worried.

"I didn't say that we need these little things to get fertilizer approval from others. These little things are just a gift for meeting each other. We need to establish a connection." After Shen Ruoqing bought the things, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Wang Aihui.

Wang Aihui heard that they were looking for her lover. It happened to be lunchtime and time for people to get off work, so Wang Aihui took them to the fertilizer factory to find her lover Jiang Lianming.

The four of them had a meal together in the cafeteria of the fertilizer factory.

"Our fertilizer factory is the best. The canteen is well run and the food is delicious. There's even meat." Shen Ruoqing praised with a smile.

"You guys came at the right time today and got to enjoy some delicious food." After dinner, Wang Aihui went back, and Jiang Lianming took Shen Ruoqing and Shen Xiangnan to stroll around the chemical plant.

"Is the output of our fertilizer plant large?" Shen Xiangnan asked.

"The output is okay, but as you know, we only have one fertilizer factory here, and every commune needs fertilizer." Jiang Lianming's meaning was very clear: the output was in short supply.

Shen Ruoqing didn't make any requests, but just asked Jiang Lianming to take them to visit the workshop.

Jiang Lianming showed an embarrassed expression.

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the production workshop. If you want to visit the production workshop, it is not up to me to decide."

"Then if we want to see the production workshop, who should we look for?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

"We need to ask the workshop director for this."

"Brother Jiang, can you introduce us to the workshop director?" Shen Ruoqing smiled and stuffed another pack of cigarettes into Jiang Lianming's hand.

"I can help with this, but I don't know if the workshop director will meet you." Jiang Lianming thought about what his wife said. This seemingly young comrade was very generous. He took a lot of White Rabbit candies and gave Director Wang a whole pack of internal cigarettes. He looked like someone with a background. His wife repeatedly told him to have a good relationship with them, but this time she only brought a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and two kilograms of cakes to see his factory's production workshop. What's so good about their factory's production workshop?

"I'm glad that Brother Jiang is willing to help. Actually, I want to write an article about the production workshop of our fertilizer factory, so I want to visit it."

Jiang Lianming accepted the cigarettes and took them to Director Yu's office.

Jiang Lianming went in first. After a while, Jiang Lianming came out and motioned Shen Ruoqing and the other two to go in.

Just as Shen Xiangnan was about to go in, Shen Ruoqing stopped him: "Second brother, let me go talk to Director Yu alone, and you ask Brother Jiang to take you somewhere else."

Shen Xiangnan didn't quite agree, but Shen Ruoqing was determined, so Shen Xiangnan had no choice but to follow her.

"Hello, Director Yu, my name is Shen Ruoqing."

As Shen Ruoqing walked into the office, he extended his hand to Director Yu.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Shen." Director Yu is a middle-aged man with a slightly dark complexion, a short stature, and a square face. He looks a bit like a leader.

"Comrade Xiao Shen, please sit down." After shaking hands, Director Yu asked Shen Ruoqing to sit down, and then continued, "I heard that Comrade Xiao Shen wants to write an article about the production workshop of our fertilizer factory and publish it in the newspaper?"

I knew he was a young man, but I didn't expect Shen Ruoqing to be so young. Director Yu's attitude also changed slightly.

"I have this plan. Our fertilizer factory is well-known far and wide, and there are many things worth promoting and learning. In fact, I also learned that the output of our fertilizer factory seems to be unable to keep up with the demand, and we cannot supply the fertilizers requested by various communes and brigades every year."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although our chemical plant is quite large, the production equipment is old and is from seven or eight years ago. We don't have the conditions to replace it, so the maximum output is this much," said Director Yu.

"Director Yu, I can actually help our factory contact a batch of new production equipment. If we have new machines, will our factory's fertilizer output be able to increase?" Shen Ruoqing said with a smile.

"New production equipment? Where's the production equipment?" Director Yu's nonchalant attitude finally changed to seriousness. He looked at Shen Ruoqing with a scrutinizing gaze. One could not tell that this little girl was so young, but her tone was quite bold.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shen Ruoqing still had a smiling look on her face: "This is the latest machine from Country D, model number is X-9586. I believe Director Yu has also heard of it."

The latest machine from Country D! Director Yu was surprised: "Is it really the latest production equipment from Country D? This imported machine is not easy to use! Comrade Xiao Shen, are you telling the truth?"

Shen Ruoqing took out a product introduction sheet and said, "How could I make fun of Director Yu about this? This is of course true. I wonder how many sets of production equipment you want?"

Director Yu carefully looked at the introduction sheet that Shen Ruoqing took out. The introduction sheet was in both Chinese and English, and also had pictures and a very detailed description.

"Comrade Shen, you must be tired after talking so much. Come, drink some water to moisten your throat." Director Yu's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, and he poured a glass of water for Shen Ruoqing.

"I would like to ask how much this set of equipment costs?"

"Don't worry about the price. I have special channels. The price will be 10% lower than the import price. This is the best I can do." Shen Ruoqing took the enamel pot, but did not drink the water.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Shen. This is a serious matter and I still need to discuss it with the factory. Didn't Comrade Shen want to visit the production workshop? Let's go now."

Shen Xiangnan saw the office door open, and Director Yu and Shen Ruoqing walked out with smiles on their faces.

"Third brother, Director Yu said that he would personally lead us to visit the production workshop. Let's go quickly." Shen Ruoqing called to Shen Xiangnan.

Jiang Lianming, who was standing with Shen Xiangnan, was stunned. He didn't expect Director Yu to agree to Shen Ruoqing and the others to visit the production workshop, and even personally lead them to visit? "Hello, comrade." Director Yu took the initiative and shook Shen Xiangnan's hand enthusiastically, which made Jiang Lianming very glad that he listened to his wife and didn't offend these two people. It turned out that this brother and sister were really capable.
