After seeing that the person approaching was Chen Xingdong, Zhao Shanhe quickly got out of the car and approached him. After a brief shake of hands and greetings, the two stood on the roadside and started chatting.
"Director Zhao, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, our losses in Fenjue County would probably be even more severe. On behalf of Fenjue County, I would like to thank you for your strong support to us." Chen Xingdong said from the bottom of his heart.
"You're welcome, County Magistrate Chen. These are what I should do." Zhao Shanhe waved his hand quickly.
"I'm not being polite to you, I'm serious."
Chen Xingdong said calmly: "Also, I came to see you for two things. The first is to say thank you, and the second is to place an order for you."
"Place an order?"
Zhao Shanhe was a little confused.
"Yes, just place an order."
Chen Xingdong said with a hearty smile.
"Although the flooding here and there seems to be under control for the time being, you also know the weather. Who knows when it will rain again. If it keeps raining, it will still be dangerous."
"The quality of the Jingtun water pumps produced by Hetu Manufacturing is unparalleled, so we are thinking of purchasing some water pumps from your factory."
Zhao Shanhe understood and said to Chen Xingdong: "County Magistrate Chen, if you say so, I can actually..."
"Don't."
Before Zhao Shanhe finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Chen Xingdong.
"You don't want to say that you can actually continue to donate, do you? If you say that, I won't like to hear it. You are a factory after all. If you keep donating like this, won't you go bankrupt?"
"We are already grateful enough that you can donate 3,000 water pumps to our Jiangsu Province free of charge, and we can't ask you to do this at a loss again."
Chen Xingdong patted Zhao Shanhe on the shoulder, laughed and said: "Besides, I have learned about your Hetu manufacturing in the past two days, and I didn't expect that non-ferrous metal solder is also produced by your factory."
"You said your factory is so promising, we can't just watch you get ruined because of your charity, right? That's not what charity does! Just listen to me."
"Okay, then I will listen to County Magistrate Chen. We, Hetu Manufacturing, have taken your order." Zhao Shanhe thought about it for a while, and did not insist on his opinion anymore, and said with a cheerful smile.
"That's right."
When Chen Xingdong said this, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Let me tell you, this time it is not just our Fengjue County, but also the other counties in Longqi City. I even heard that the entire Jiangsu Province is preparing to place an order with your Hetu Manufacturing.
.”
"Well, when you get back, hurry up and work overtime to start production. Produce more high-quality water pumps, and the people will suffer less."
"Understood!" Zhao Shanhe said overjoyed.
"That's it."
"County Magistrate Chen, farewell. If you have time to go to Eastern Province in the future, you must visit our Zhenghe County." Zhao Shanhe stretched out his hand towards Chen Xingdong.
"Definitely!" Chen Xingdong stretched out his hands, grabbed Zhao Shanhe's hand and shook it hard.
The two separated.
After returning to the car, Li Xiangyang asked Chen Xingdong what he was doing here. Zhao Shanhe laughed and told him about the order. After hearing this, both Li Xiangyang and Gao Shaoyuan became excited.
"It's a good thing, now I can finally get some money back." Li Xiangyang said.
"I think what County Magistrate Chen said is probably true. After all, the whale water pumps made by Hetu were donated to the entire Jiangsu Province. No matter where we see our water pumps, no one can surpass us.
.”
"What's more, in addition to the three thousand whales, there are also six thousand Jiuquan water pumps, which are also labeled as manufactured by our Hetu."
Gao Shaoyuan's eyes flashed brightly.
“Director, now our whale-swallowing water pump doesn’t need to be advertised, it has already become an instant hit!”
"Yes, the senior engineer is right. There is no need to advertise now. This flood relief is the best advertising."
Li Xiangyang looked at Zhao Shanhe with emotion.
"Shanhe, I finally know now that there is still a gap between you and me. At that time, you were the only one who made the decision to donate. Did you think of today's matter?"
"It would be a lie to say that I didn't expect it at all. After all, flood relief is right in front of us. As long as our whale-swallowing water pump can pass the test, it will definitely make a name for itself. After all, real gold is not afraid of fire."
Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly.
"But I'm not saying that I'm just here to promote the water pump. After all, flood fighting and disaster relief are national affairs, and we have to set an example in the face of major events."
"Besides, this time we have spent more than five million yuan for charity. Do you really think that if we do advertising, we will use five million yuan?"
"This is true."
Li Xiangyang nodded with deep understanding.
Which advertisement is worth so much money?
"Let's not talk about these anymore. These are secondary. The important thing is that we should go back quickly, keep an eye on the workshop, and quickly produce the whale water pump."
"I think County Magistrate Chen is right. It will definitely rain in Jiangsu Province in the next two months. This flood disaster will not stop immediately."
“It’s not just Jiangsu Province!”
Looking at the gray sky outside the window, Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said meaningfully: "I guess this year will be a flood year. Jiangsu Province is just the first one. There will definitely be floods in other provinces later."
"So in order to cope with this kind of disaster, our Hetu Manufacturing company must quickly produce whale water pumps."
"Even on the premise of ensuring the order, I asked Jiuquan Manufacturing to temporarily reduce the production capacity and produce as many whale water pumps as possible!"
"Really? Isn't it just the province of Jiangsu?" Li Xiangyang was shocked when he heard this and asked suspiciously.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Zhao Shanhe said slowly.
He couldn't tell Li Xiangyang and Gao Shaoyuan, really, you two just believe me. 1991 was a flood year, and Jiangsu Province was just the beginning, and more than a dozen provinces would face floods in the future.
If we don't take precautions now and make preparations in advance, it will be too late to wait until the flood really comes before we think about producing water pumps.
"If this is the case, I think we can also develop some large water pumps." Gao Shaoyuan said.
"right!"
Zhao Shanhe looked over and said energetically: "Senior Engineer, I'll leave this matter to you. When you get back, you can see if you can develop a large-scale water pump based on our whale-swallowing water pump."
"As you have seen in this flood relief effort, it is okay to swallow the water pump, but it would be better if it could be larger."
"No problem, I'll think about it when I get back." Gao Shaoyuan said.
…
Outside the No. 1 Detention Center of Handong City.
Shen Ziliang walked out of it with a look of embarrassment. He was carrying a leather bag and had an unkempt beard. As soon as he walked out, he was dazzled by the big sun above his head. He subconsciously raised his hands to block the sun and squinted his eyes.
"Get in the car!"
At this moment, a Hutouben drove up from not far away and stopped in front of Shen Ziliang. The window rolled down and a very calm voice came from inside.
After seeing who was sitting inside, Shen Ziliang's expression changed drastically.
