After growing mushrooms for so long, this was the first time Zhou Ziwen went to the public to socialize with everyone.
In the previous few times, Wu Dagang led the team.
Along the way, accompanied by Wu Dagang and the members who transported mushrooms, it would not be boring.
When they arrived at the commune, Wu Dagang went to the clerk to receive the mushrooms, while Zhou Ziwen came to President Fu's office.
When he knocked on the office door, President Fu happened to be working at his desk.
"Ziwen, why are you here?"
President Fu asked happily.
"Uncle Wu and I are here to deliver mushrooms, and I'd like to ask you a favor." Zhou Ziwen walked in with a smile.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" President Fu asked.
"Our village is raising pigs. In order to save manpower, we decided to purchase a crusher. Last time, Uncle Wu said that you have news about the crusher. I am going to take a look."
Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to explain.
"That's what happened. Lao Wu asked me last time, but their crusher has been scrapped. It's useless for you to buy it back!" President Fu replied.
"It doesn't matter if it's scrapped. I want to go and see the situation. After all, our production team is not rich, so we can save a little."
Zhou Ziwen opened his mouth to explain.
"Now that you've thought about it, let's go and have a look! I'll open a letter of introduction for you, just take it."
Seeing how confident Zhou Zi was with her bra, President Fu didn't give much advice.
Although he didn't know why Zhou Ziwen was so confident, he was still willing to help with this small favor.
Moreover, even if you buy the two crushers that are about to be scrapped, you won't suffer any loss. They are sold at the price of scrap metal anyway. If you buy them back and it's useless, you can still sell them!
Ever since he knew that Zhou Ziwen wanted to buy a crusher, he informed the machinery factory and asked them to keep the machine, otherwise the crusher would have been sold long ago.
"Thank you, President." Zhou Ziwen thanked him hurriedly.
President Fu took out a letter of introduction from the drawer, quickly filled in the necessary information, and handed it to Zhou Ziwen.
"Ziwen, this is a letter of introduction. Just take this to the machine factory and find their person in charge." President Fu said.
Zhou Ziwen accepted the letter of introduction and expressed his gratitude to President Fu again: "Thank you, President Fu. I'll leave first if it doesn't matter."
President Fu smiled and nodded: "Go ahead. If you have any difficulties, come to me again."
When Zhou Ziwen came out of President Fu's office, Wu Dagang also completed the delivery.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang came over.
"Ziwen, how are things going?" Wu Dagang asked.
"Uncle Wu, I got the letter of introduction from President Fu." Zhou Ziwen answered.
"That's good. Just wait a moment and we'll be done with it soon."
After Wu Dagang finished speaking, he turned around and completed the final handover work with other members.
After a while, everything was settled, and they set up the ox cart and rushed to the location of the steel plant.
The steel plant was not far from the county seat, and they arrived at their destination in less than half an hour.
The steel plant was built in the suburbs outside the county town. This kind of place is no different from the countryside.
You can still see some villages in the distance, with crops growing around them.
Fortunately, the steel plant requires frequent transportation, and the roads are in good repair.
But because it rained a few days ago, the road was a little muddy.
When Zhou Ziwen and others arrived at the gate of the steel plant, they were stopped before they even got close. "Comrade, what are you here for?"
Looking at the soldiers carrying guns, Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang and others were a little confused.
It’s not like he’s never been to the steel factory before, his dad still works in the steel factory!
I didn't expect that the security at the steel plant here would be so strong.
"Comrade, we are here to see Minister Wang. This is our letter of introduction."
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit tense, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly stood up, found the letter of introduction from President Fu, and handed it over.
The Minister Wang he was talking about was the leader in charge of equipment procurement and management at the steel plant.
It was this person that President Fu asked them to find.
The soldier took the letter of introduction, looked at it carefully, looked at Zhou Ziwen and others, and then said: "Wait here."
Then he turned around and walked into the factory to report.
Zhou Ziwen, Wu Dagang and others waited honestly at the door. After a while, the soldier came out and said to them: "Come with me."
Hearing this, Wu Dagang and the members breathed a sigh of relief.
"Da Dahai, you guys wait outside for now! Ziwen and I can just go in."
Before entering, Wu Dagang said to the members.
Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang followed the soldiers into the steel plant.
The machines inside the factory are roaring, and workers are busy shuttling around, creating a lively scene.
The two followed the soldier to an office building. The soldier motioned for them to wait here while he went upstairs to notify Minister Wang.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing blue overalls and a safety helmet walked out of the building. His eyes were sharp and his steps were steady, giving people a resolute look.
"Hello, I'm Minister Wang." Minister Wang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen respectively. "President Fu has already greeted me. Are you here to buy a crusher?"
Zhou Ziwen nodded: "Yes, Minister Wang. The pig farm in our village needs a crusher to process feed. I heard that you have a scrap crusher here. We hope to buy it back and give it a try."
Minister Wang nodded: "I understand. Those crushers are indeed scrapped, but if you really have a way to repair them, you can make the best use of them. Come with me, I will take you to see them."
With that said, Minister Wang took Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang to the warehouse where scrapped equipment was stored.
The warehouse was filled with all kinds of old machines, including two grinders that looked quite old.
Zhou Ziwen stepped forward and carefully inspected the appearance of the crusher and some visible internal structures.
He found that the main problems with these crushers may be damaged motors and aging of some parts, but the overall frame seemed relatively complete.
With his current mechanical repair skills, of course he couldn't repair it.
But with the AFK panel, his skill level improved very quickly.
He believes that it won't be long before repairs can be started.
"Minister Wang, we want these two crushers." Zhou Ziwen said.
Minister Wang looked at the crusher, then at Zhou Ziwen, and said: "Since you need it, I can sell it to you at the price of scrap metal. But you have to transport it yourself."
Zhou Ziwen and Wu Dagang looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
They knew that the price was very fair. After all, these crushers were already in a scrapped state and they could buy them at the price of scrap metal. No matter whether they could be repaired or not, they would not suffer a loss.
"Then thank you, Minister Wang." Zhou Ziwen thanked him. (End of chapter)
