In the director's office of the Third Machinery Factory.
"Chief Physician, you were looking for me?" Xu Damao knocked on the door.
"Come in and talk." Chief Physician Li waved his hand.
"Director, what's the matter?" Xu Damao went straight to the point.
"I heard that someone in your courtyard knows the American language?”Director Li said.
" Yes, that person is called Li Jianghua." Xu Damao nodded.
"Our factory is going to import some imported equipment. A foreigner will come to negotiate the day after tomorrow. The translator in the factory, Wu Chengfeng, only knows Su language and not American language.”Director Li said.
"Li Jianghua is a man who won't give up until he sees the rabbit.”Xu Damao frowned.
"Isn't it just money? How much did he want? Is 20 yuan enough?" Chief Physician Li did not think much of it.
"Director, Li Jianghua can earn 300 to 400 yuan a day when he goes fishing. He can also earn 300 to 400 yuan a day when he goes hunting wild boars outside the city.”Xu Damao said.
"He can earn three to four hundred a day?" Director Li was dumbfounded. As the director of the Third Machinery Factory and the director of the investigation team, his monthly salary was less than 300 yuan.
"Director, you can ask the canteen director and you'll know if what I said is true.”Xu Damao said.
Chief Physician Li picked up the landline on the table and made a call on the spot.
"Chief Physician, Li Jianghua will definitely not be willing to pay less than 200 yuan.”Xu Damao said.
"200 yuan? Can you handle it?" Chief Physician Li asked.
"I'll try my best." Xu Damao said.
"Alright, go and try." Chief Physician Li gritted his teeth.
"Alright, I'll try my best. Even if I don't succeed, I can still ask Tan Huairu from the machine tool workshop or Silly Zhu from the canteen. They have a good relationship with Li Jianghua.”Xu Damao laughed.
"Alright, go find Li Jianghua now.”Chief Physician Li nodded.
Xu Damao returned to his office, tidied up, and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard house.
Hearing the knocking sound, Li Jianghua looked at the door and asked,""Da Mao, what is it?"
"Jiang Hua, I have something to ask of you.”Xu Damao said.
"What is it?" Li Jianghua asked.
" The factory needs to import some imported equipment." Xu Damao explained the situation.
"I'm not an employee of your machinery factory. I have no obligation to translate for your factory.”Li Jianghua said.
"Our factory can give you a hundred yuan.”Xu Damao said.
"A hundred yuan? What can I do?" Li Jianghua asked angrily.
"I won't waste my breath. The factory's bottom line is 200 yuan.”Xu Damao said.
"When? How long?" Li Jianghua asked.
"The day after tomorrow in the morning, just half a day." Xu Damao replied.
"Give me the money." Li Jianghua smiled and extended his hand.
"I don't have the money with me. The factory will give you the money after you finish the job.”Xu Damao said.
"When I work for others, I always collect money first before doing anything.”Li Jianghua laughed.
"I'll ask the factory and give you an answer tonight.”Xu Damao felt helpless.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Director Li arrived at the courtyard house under Xu Damao's lead.
"Jiang Hua, this is the director of our machinery factory, Director Li."”
"Hello, Jiang Hua." Chief Physician Li smiled and reached out his hand.
"Hello, Director Li." Li Jianghua shook hands with him.
"Jiang Hua, do you really know the American language?" Chief Physician Li asked.
"I've learned nine foreign languages by myself." Li Jianghua's words were shocking.
"Please translate this page into Yanhuang language.”Chief Physician Li took out a drawing that had a lot of American language written on it.
"The numerical control machine tool was invented in Singapore more than ten years ago. It is in the phase of elimination overseas.”Li Jianghua looked at the blueprint.
"You can understand it?" Chief Physician Li found it hard to believe.
Li Jianghua frowned." This thing is outdated. Singapore, Hu, and Dongdao have more advanced ones."”
"Foreign countries won't sell us more advanced machine tools.”Chief Physician Li sighed.
Earth Star's numerical control machine tools were born more than ten years ago. The machine tools that the Third Machinery Factory wanted to import were the first generation of numerical control machine tools.
Li Jianghua had heard that Director Li was not a good person.
This time, when the machinery factory introduced the numerical control machine tools, the foreigners would definitely demand an exorbitant price.
Li Jianghua didn't want to see the foreigners buying obsolete goods after giving them a lot of money.
His predecessor was a Yanhuang person, and he loved Yanhuang deeply.
Li Jianghua, who was affected, also cared about this piece of land.
Although he hated Director Li, he did not want the Third Machinery Factory to suffer.
"Director Li, how many machine tools do you plan to import?”Li Jianghua asked.
"Two." Chief Physician Li did not hide anything. He took one for use and one for dismantling.
"How much?" Li Jianghua asked again.
"The foreigners are offering one million dollars for each unit.”Chief Physician Li replied.
"This type of machine tool costs 100,000 dollars per machine.”Li Jianghua said disdainfully.
According to the current exchange rate, 100,000 dollars could be exchanged for 246,000 Yanhuang dollars.
With the technology that Li Jianghua had mastered, he could create more advanced machine tools.
"Less than 100,000 dollars for each?" Chief Physician Li was dumbfounded.
"Compared to the manual machine tools that you are using now, the numerical control machine tools only have an automatic operation program.”Li Jianghua said calmly.
"As far as I know, just the electronic components of the numerical control machine tool cost a lot of money.”Director Li said.
The manufacturing cost of the imported machine tools was less than 30,000 Yanhuang dollars. The electronic components needed for the machine tools were at most 20,000 Yanhuang dollars. It was just that they could not find someone to program them.
A few tens of thousands of Yanhuang dollars could be used for a numerical control machine tool, but the foreigner was asking for one million dollars, which was obviously a huge demand.
Li Jianghua, who had read many books and dismantled many machine tools, had the ability to replicate similar machine tools.
However, it was not easy to find parts that matched the technology of Earth Star on the blue planet.
It couldn't be helped. Earth Star's technology was too backward. Earth Star's most advanced numerical control machine tools had been obsolete on Blue Star for decades.
"Director Li, are you really going to use two million dollars to buy two sets of numerical control machine tools from abroad?”Li Jianghua asked.
Two million dollars was equivalent to 4.92 million Yanhuang dollars.
The salary of the employees of the Third Machinery Factory far exceeded the average salary of Yan Huang Country.
Even Yi Zhonghai, a level-eight fitter, only earned ninety-nine and a half yuan a month.
4,920,000 Yanhuang dollars was equivalent to 49,447 Yi Zhonghai's monthly income.
A level-eight fitter was not a cabbage. Which level-eight fitter had not worked for twenty to thirty years?
After working for thirty years, to be able to become a grade-8 fitter was already quite talented.
To be able to advance to a grade-8 fitter in a dozen or so years, he could be considered a talented person.
The Third Machinery Factory had almost 10,000 employees, but there were only a few Level 8 fitters.
Liu Haizhong would be 55 years old after the New Year, but he was still a Level Seven Fitter.
In the entire Yan Huang Kingdom, there were not even 3,000 level 8 fitter.
"Jiang Hua, how much do you think we can spend to buy a foreign machine tool?”Chief Physician Li asked.
"The negotiation is your business. I'm only responsible for translating.”Li Jianghua kicked the ball. He was not an employee of the machinery factory, nor was he a negotiating representative. It was not appropriate for him to interfere.
"Just say it. There are no outsiders anyway.”Chief Physician Li said with a smile.
"This type of machine tool is considered obsolete overseas. It should be able to be bought at a unit price of 200,000 dollars.”Li Jianghua thought about it and said that the wages and raw materials in Singapore were much more expensive than in Yan Huang.
It was impossible for a Singaporean to not make money by selling machine tools. Who would do a business that could not make money?
"Jiang Hua, this is your translation fee.”Chief Physician Li gave him two hundred yuan and said a few more words before leaving in a car.
