Chapter 986: Fat Sheep Arrives

When Du Fei came back from the factory, he was still thinking about the machine tools.

I thought I could take a long-term view, but now it has become a top priority.

Du Fei thought for a moment and called Li Mingfei, "Hello, brother-in-law..."

Li Mingfei smiled and said, "Brother, why do you have time to call me today?"

Du Fei didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Do you have any acquaintances in the First Aircraft Department?"

The First Ministry of Machinery is the Ministry of Heavy Industry, which mainly focuses on civilian machinery, while the Second Ministry of Machinery focuses on military industry.

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a subsidiary company of the First Machinery Department.

Li Mingfei must have had connections in the ministry over the years.

Sure enough, Li Mingfei said, "There must be people there. What's the matter with you?"

Du Fei politely reported the model number of the machine tool written by Director Yang, "I heard that the department has this machine tool. Can you get a few of them?"

Although Director Yang said that one unit was enough, he paid the high price on the spot.

If you want one with just one mouth, how can the other party negotiate the price?

Li Mingfei frowned.

He is not an outsider. He has been a semi-expert in the past years as a leader in a steel rolling mill. Why? "This is an imported machine tool. I bought it from the Czech Republic at a high price. I guess there are not many left in the ministry now."

Du Fei understood it as soon as he heard it.

When we had a good relationship with Suge, we could also import foreign products through the Jinghuhui channel.

But in the past few years, it has been completely excluded from the system.

But Du Fei couldn't understand. Although those machine tools were precious, they were of no use lying in the warehouse. Why not take them out and use them?

Instead, it was hidden and tucked away like a baby bump.

Li Mingfei didn't dare to take over everything, and thought, "Brother, I can help ask about this matter, but it's hard to say whether it can be done. You, the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, know better than me what the situation is now..."

Du Fei understood that since the past few years, the foreign trade environment for growing flowers has become worse and worse.

Although the annual trade fair is booming, it is actually just raw materials and low-end products. Don't even think about things like machine tools.

Du Fei didn't ask too much and said directly, "Okay, hurry up then, I'll wait for your call."

After saying that, he put down the receiver and Du Fei frowned and thought.

If Li Mingfei couldn't do it here, he would have no choice but to go directly to his father-in-law.

Some things just affect the whole body.

Who knows if not being able to get the machine tools will affect the Canadian order.

Du Fei thought while waiting.

Li Mingfei worked very efficiently, and the phone rang in about half an hour.

Du Fei immediately picked up the answer, and Li Mingfei's voice came from inside: "Hey, I just called Lao Zhang over there..."

Du Fei said "Hmm", knowing that the old Zhang mentioned in Li Mingfei's words was a deputy in the First Machinery Department, but ranked relatively low, so he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Li Mingfei said, "Lao Zhang said that they do still have a few machine tools in their department, but they all have problems, and a few of them have been dismantled."

Du Fei's heart sank. He had never thought about this situation before.

There must be something wrong with these machines, otherwise they would not be idle.

Now when I hear it, it is the worst case scenario.

Once the parts are disassembled and repaired for other damaged machines, it means that there are no replacement parts in the country.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to repair it.

Unless you can get accessories from the Czech original factory.

Du Fei frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "How many more are there?"

Li Mingfei was stunned, but he didn't expect that Du Fei still wanted to ask for it. He reminded him, "Brother, those machines are useless. Do you still want them?"

Du Fei said, "Yes, why not! Brother-in-law, can you save some money there and get me three more complete ones? I'll find a way to find someone to repair them."

Li Mingfei smiled bitterly, "You are really... you are more stubborn than me! Okay, this is not difficult, but you have to be mentally prepared. Even if that thing can be repaired, it won't last forever."

"I know it in my heart~" Du Fei was confident. At this time, he began to calculate in his mind how much blue light would be consumed to repair these three machine tools. He should have enough stored in his portable space.

After the decision was made, the next morning.

Li Mingfei called again and asked Du Fei where he wanted to transport the machine tool.

Originally, according to his wishes, it would be most convenient to send it directly to Factory 8270.

Du Fei had other ideas. If he really wanted to send it to the factory, how could he resort to manipulation?

He said no immediately and put it in the company's warehouse in the city so that it could be easily repaired.

Li Mingfei didn't say anything, but in his heart he felt that Du Fei was out of his mind.

But he had already reminded them where they needed to be reminded. Anyway, they were just a few broken machines that couldn't be used, and there was no need for any favors from the First Machinery Department.

As for Factory Director Yang, firstly, his old boss is no longer in the position, and secondly, he has his own problems, so naturally he doesn’t have that much face.

After lunch, Du Fei finally saw these three machine tools for the first time.

The machine tool looked new, but at first glance it was missing parts.

This is just a matter of trying to put together as many machines as possible.

The warehouse of the fire-fighting equipment company is not near the work unit, but in the suburbs outside Beicheng, not far from the steel rolling mill.

When Du Fei arrived, Li Mingfei was already here, standing under the wall with a cigarette in his mouth, watching the crane lift the machine tool off the truck.

Du Fei moved closer and squeezed into the shadow under the wall.

"Here it comes~" Li Mingfei glanced at it, still looking at the big crane attentively.

Du Fei said "hmm" and looked at the crane. The three booms were unfolded, the cables rolled and hummed, and the machine tool was hung in the air.

Du Fei suddenly remembered an advertisement when he was a child, and he hummed in a crooked voice, "The big crane, er, the car, it's really awesome~, it's made of tons of steel, and it can be lifted up with just a gentle grab~~~"

Li Mingfei was stunned and turned to look over.

Du Fei chuckled and reached out for a cigarette, "Brother-in-law, have you lost weight? Eldest sister and little Baoer are fine?"

Li Mingfei couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned this, "It's all good. You gave me that medicine last time, and Xiao Min felt much better after taking it."

After all, Zhu Min is getting older, and her health will inevitably be exhausted after giving birth to her third child.

Last time Wang Chao and his wife went to see Zhu Ting at home and gave her a prescription.

Du Fei survived, put it in the portable space, strengthened it, and sent it over.

Zhu Min took two pairs and her physical condition improved significantly.

At this time, a machine tool was placed on the ground.

Li Mingfei pursed his lips and said, "What are you going to do with these three machine tools? Are you really going to find someone to repair them?"

Du Fei said, "Brother-in-law, don't forget what I do."

Li Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then understood.

The reason why these machine tools are difficult to repair in China is not because of the difficulty, but because of the lack of spare parts.

Generally, factories don’t have channels, so they definitely can’t get spare parts.

The Ministry can definitely get it, but for the spare parts of these machine tools, it is not worth using European power.

Li Mingfei nodded and said, "As long as you know what's going on, Lao Zhang helped a lot this time. When we get back, we two brothers will treat him to a meal and introduce you to each other."

Li Mingfei was willing to share his contacts, and of course Du Fei readily agreed.

After a while, all three machine tools were unloaded.

A dozen workers carried the machine tool into the warehouse. Li Mingfei threw the remaining half of his cigarette on the ground, "Okay, I'm going back~"

This place is not far from the steel rolling mill. Li Mingfei came out without riding his bicycle.

Du Fei responded, and after he took the workers away, he walked into the warehouse.

The warehouse originally belonged to another company affiliated with the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, and it only contained some sundries.

Now there are three more machine tools, but it still looks empty.

Before leaving just now, the workers closed the warehouse door. There was a small door on the door for people to pass through.

Du Fei closed the small door with his backhand and came to the machine tool. With a thought, he put all three machine tools into his portable space.

Then I couldn’t wait and started upgrading one of them.

In the portable space, a blue light band wraps a machine tool.

The machine itself is new and does not require restoration.

But some accessories are missing.

Based on Du Fei's experience, this situation should consume a lot of blue light, and the repair process will also take some time.

He didn't stay here too long, locked the door and left directly.

Until about the time I get off work in the afternoon.

Du Fei suddenly felt something in his heart, and a look of hope flashed in his eyes, and he immediately checked his personal space.

At this time, the machine tool that wrapped the blue light has been repaired.

Consumes nearly one-fifth of the blue light in your portable space.

This was not unexpected, but Du Fei was surprised by the current appearance of the machine tool.

Originally, the three machine tools were not very big, about one meter high, two meters long, and over one meter wide.

The upgraded machine tool suddenly became larger.

It also looks more advanced, and it looks like a high-end product at first glance.

Du Fei frowned, although the machine tool would definitely be able to function normally after being repaired and upgraded.

But how can you take it out like this?

Director Yang is no fool. This machine tool is obviously not the model they want.

Du Fei couldn't explain it at that time.

Du Fei was a little lucky that he didn't upgrade all three machine tools at once. ??

Look at the remaining two.

This time he had a sense of discretion and took out only one-third of the blue light from before, divided it into two parts, and wrapped them around the machine tool.

A few hours later, the two machine tools were modified.

The appearance looks the same as before, but the performance is improved compared to the same model of machine tools.

Du Fei paid extra attention this time, fearing that it would be like the first time and he would overdo it.

The next day, Director Yang and the first man came over in person and saw the two machine tools that Du Fei put back in the warehouse.

The excitement of the two people was beyond words.

Especially the old man, who carefully caressed the brand-new machine tool with his rough palms. I am afraid that when he and his aunt got married, he could not put it down so much.

Director Yang even more excitedly gave Du Fei a hug, "I knew you could do it...that's great! That's great..."

He said "great" several times in a row, as if with these two new machine tools, Factory 8270 would soar into the sky.

Du Fei secretly laughed in his heart, seeing these two machine tools was like this. If the machine tool in the portable space was taken out, these two brothers would not be happy.

After the excitement, I immediately organized people to transport the machine tool back.

The uncle has used this kind of machine tool before, so he doesn’t need to learn it now.

After it was installed, he was surprised again when he started using it.

Seeing the old man's expression of astonishment after trying it for a few times, Director Yang couldn't help but become nervous, "Hey, Lao Yi, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the machine tool?"

When the old man came back to his senses, his old face turned red. He hurriedly shook his head, but without explaining, he ran to the side and took a piece of steel, and carefully stuck it on the clamp of the machine tool.

Then with a "click" sound, turn on the switch to power on the machine tool.

With a "buzz~" sound, the machine tool started.

The old man looked serious, pushed the connecting rod, and the clamp rotated.

Du Fei was also watching from the side. This was the first time for him to see an old man operating a machine tool.

Level 8 fitter, the best in the industry.

At this time, the uncle seemed to be a different person in front of the machine tool.

Du Fei suddenly thought that if it were in a cartoon, there would be some kind of buff field around the old man, or totems like dragons and tigers would appear, which would always be quite awesome.

The uncle was turning the rocker and controlling the knife bit by bit.

Because it is a new machine tool and I am not very familiar with its performance, I was very careful.

After a few minutes, his movements became more and more skillful, and soon a complex-shaped part was machined out.

After finishing the work, he turned off the machine tool, took a deep breath, and reached out to remove the parts from the fixture.

Director Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lao Yi, how are you doing?"

The old man had a strange expression. He looked at Factory Director Yang and then at Du Fei.

His reaction made everyone present hold their breath.

Especially Factory Director Yang, who was even more anxious: "Old Yi, you are talking, what's going on?"

The uncle said, "The performance of the machine tool is very good, and the cutting tools are brand new, that is..."

Having said this, he looked at Du Fei again, "Manager Du, where did you get these two machine tools? They are the same model, so why are they so much better than the ones I used before?"

When Factory Director Yang heard this, he almost rolled his eyes. It turned out to be a good thing after making trouble for a long time.

Du Fei smiled and said, "I asked someone to get it from the ministry. Everyone, please be careful and don't go out and talk nonsense."

Everyone present understood that no manufacturer would want such a good machine tool.

If the 8270 factory in the past did not care, no one could take away the things that entered the factory.

But now... that's not necessarily the case.

If there really is something else, a more important unit that wants to do it, how can they stop it?

The current 8270 factory has no important tasks at all, and it just ignores them and ignores the overall situation.

Everyone knew the benefits and nodded quickly.

Director Yang was even more arrogant and immediately said, "Lao Yi, hurry up and get some engine oil and smear it all over, remember it all! Our factory doesn't have new machine tools at all, so we bought two old machine tools that are about to be scrapped.

Whoever can't keep his mouth shut, I'll let him go home and drink the northwest wind! "

For the first time, Du Fei saw the usually gentle Factory Director Yang show his ruthless side.

But it's normal. If you don't have a strong hand, how can you control a large factory with tens of thousands of people?

Then the first man selected two apprentices with the best skills and began to teach them how to use the new machine tools.

In the past, because the machine tools were not precise enough, only an old man could complete the parts by hand. Now with the new machine tools, the difficulty has plummeted.

For others, after practicing a few times, the yield rate can reach more than 80%.

Finally, I don’t have to do it alone.

Several people who knew the inside story, including the original Deputy Director Li and Deputy Director Zhang, were convinced this time.

Originally, they only knew that Du Fei's hands and eyes could reach the sky, but they couldn't tell how capable he was.

This time, in less than three days, two brand new Dufy imported machine tools were picked out from the first machine department. What a concept!

In the early days when Factory 8270 was prosperous, Deputy Director Li had dealings with the department.

Running back and forth, begging grandpa and suing grandma, even ten days and a half may not necessarily get the job done.

Thinking about the original situation, Deputy Director Li became even more determined and must follow Du Fei closely.

Deputy Director Li returned to the office, picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hey dad, what's the matter?" came the voice of Deputy Factory Director Li's son from the other side of the phone.

"Xiao Geng, have you signed up to go to the third line?" Deputy Director Li asked.

Li Geng paused and said in a deep voice, "It's not our turn yet. Dad, what's going on?"

Deputy Director Li said, "Xiao Geng, don't go to the third line, stay and come to me."

Li Geng was stunned, "Dad, what's wrong..."

Deputy Director Li said, "I didn't tell you last time, but the factory has a new leader."

Li Geng responded.

Deputy Director Li said, "This new leader is great. Dad is old, so that's all. You are still young, educated, and capable. As long as you follow the right person, your future will be unlimited..."

Du Fei didn't know that the acquisition of two machine tools actually made Deputy Director Li completely give up and called his own sons over.

Du Fei left the workshop and went to Director Yang's office to sit for a while before driving away.

Returning to the unit after a long journey.

As soon as I arrived at the Central Courtyard, I met Zhu Li.

Du Fei said hello, Zhu Li responded and walked over.

Du Fei couldn't help but look back at her.

Recently, I always feel that Julie looks at him a little strangely.

Although it was not obvious, there was a vague intention to avoid him.

Du Fei was a little confused, wondering what the hell was this bitch doing?

Julie was even more depressed.

She didn't know why, but it was as if she had been possessed by an evil spirit. Ever since she had that dream last time and thought of borrowing seeds, when she saw Du Fei again, she felt as if she had a guilty conscience and could no longer be as unscrupulous as before.

But Julie was still not angry. She obviously didn't do anything, so why should she feel guilty?

She has a character that refuses to admit defeat. If it were any other woman, she would just avoid it if she encountered this situation.

But she had to force herself to face it as if nothing had happened, which made Du Fei feel that unnatural feeling.

However, Du Fei has no time to care about Julie's condition for the time being, because Vincent is coming soon.

Just today, Du Fei received new news.

This time there was another person coming with Vincent.

His name was Henry Norman, and he was nominally the business representative of a Canadian company.

In fact, he is an important member of the French-speaking Quebec resistance organization.

If it was just Vincent, Du Fei wouldn't have to prepare much, after all, he and Vincent were in the same group.

But with Henry joining, Du Fei had to take it seriously.

This was an important client, and in Du Fei's eyes, he was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered...

Soon, a few days later.

On the platform of Beijing Railway Station, a train slowly stopped.

A group of people walked down from the soft sleeper car.

The two people in the lead were Vincent, and the other was about forty years old, with a thick beard, deep eye sockets, and a big nose, giving people a deep and shrewd feeling.

Du Fei brought Wang Bin and Wu Hongqi with him.

"Hey~ my friend, it's been a long time since we last met!" Vincent smiled and immediately stepped up to greet Du Fei when he saw him.
