Chapter 82: Let foreigners get used to begging us

One month later.

Lin Shengli was studying drawings in the workshop with his subordinates when Deputy Factory Director Li brought a few people in.

It must be said, Deputy Factory Director Li's mind works quickly.

Moreover, he has his ways, and there's someone covering for him from above.

He knows that with Lin Shengli, the steel mill's performance and benefits will only keep improving.

He also wants more contact with Lin Shengli to build a good relationship and make Lin Shengli his man.

So, he, who originally oversaw logistics and production, swapped roles with Deputy Factory Director Huang and now handles production and business.

Seeing the few people Deputy Factory Director Li brought, Lin Shengli couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Wherever these people went, they nodded, even bowed.

It's obvious they're Little Japan people.

Through the translator's introduction, indeed they are Little Japan people.

He suddenly felt a bit proud.

In his previous life, during the 1960s, many of Little Japan's technologies were world-class.

Daxia Guo imported a certain machine from them, and when it needed repair, they had to request their personnel to come over.

Even when they were initially unfamiliar with its use, they had to specially request their personnel to come.

Moreover, they had to be wined, dined, and entertained.

Worried they wouldn't teach properly or maintain it well.

All these expenses were borne by us.

This invisibly also increased costs.

This was a helpless move—who let them master the core technology?

Not to mention the past, even now.

Many of Little Japan's technologies are also world-class.

Having transmigrated here, Lin Sheng naturally also wanted to change things.

From now on, core technology must be firmly grasped in our own hands.

Not only Little Japan, but also Western countries must get used to begging us!

After the translator introduced Lin Shengli, the leader hurriedly gave Lin Shengli a 90-degree bow.

Those behind him immediately followed suit.

Then.

The leader, smiling broadly, made a request in Little Japan's language:

"Lin Engineer, I have an impertinent request—could you operate the Step Bottom Furnace to heat some irregular billets?"

Just as the translator began to speak, Lin Shengli raised his hand, gesturing for him not to translate, then spoke in Little Japan's language:

"Don't go through the trouble."

"I still understand a little Little Japan language."

"I can understand it and also speak it."

Far from just a little understanding, Lin Shengli's Little Japan language now is at a super level, higher than the highest N1 level of his previous life.

Not only Little Japan language, but also English, German, French and other major countries' languages, he has now reached a super level in most of them.

With the Heaven rewards diligence system's boost, he's like having a cheat.

These days, he hasn't slacked off on studying.

Upon hearing Lin Shengli's words, several Little Japan people all raised their thumbs, sincerely offering praise.

Little Japan worships the strong.

As long as you're stronger than him, he'll do whatever you ask him to do.

Lin Shengli then spoke in standard Little Japan language:

"However, on Daxia Guo's turf, when communicating with you, I can only use Daxia Guo's language."

"If you don't understand, don't blame me."

"Of course, this time it's fine—you brought a translator."

As everyone knows, Lin Shengli has never had a good impression of Little Japan.

If it weren't to increase the steel mill's efficiency and create foreign exchange for the country, he wouldn't bother.

Of course.

In his previous life, as a technician, he also knew that soon enough, foreigners would soon invent the Step Bottom Furnace.

Even if he didn't export it, they could quickly make it themselves.

If so, why not make a killing while they haven't invented it yet?

As of now, many countries' technical conditions are better than Daxia Guo's.

With these countries' rolling mills growing larger and continuous, the push-type steel furnace can no longer meet the mills' output and quality demands.

Therefore, they have always wanted to invent a machine more advanced than the push-type steel furnace.

He invented it first, so they will surely come begging.

The leader nodded repeatedly, speaking respectfully:

"Yes, Lin Engineer, after learning you invented the Step Bottom Furnace, we rushed over immediately."

"You also know the push-type steel furnace can't heat thin sheets and irregular billets."

"We've been troubled by this as well."

"If the Step Bottom Furnace can really heat thin sheets and irregular billets, we can place an order right away."

Lin Shengli looked at Deputy Section Chief Wang standing beside him and said:

"Deputy Section Chief Wang, take them over and give them a demonstration."

Deputy Section Chief Wang nodded and replied, "Yes."

Before leaving, several Xiao Benzi all nodded and bowed to Lin Shengli.

After glancing at their backs, Lin Shengli felt a myriad of emotions.

At the same time, he was also encouraging himself in his heart.

He needed to work harder to invent more machines and firmly keep the core technology in the hands of Daxia Guo.

Deputy Factory Director Li said with an envious face:

"Lin Gong, I didn't expect you to be this capable."

"The Xiao Benzi speak their language so fluently."

"I've observed that they really admire you."

Lin Shengli shook his head and said:

"Factory Director Li, it's not time yet."

"Although the Step Bottom Furnace has many advantages, it also has many drawbacks."

"However, thanks to everyone's efforts over this period, the Step Beam Furnace can be assembled today, and tomorrow will be the time to put it into operation."

"If all goes well, in a month, that is after the Beam Bottom Combined Step Furnace is successfully assembled, they will come again."

Deputy Factory Director Li: "Lin Gong, you've worked hard."

"Once the Step Beam Furnace is operational, I will apply to the superior department for a reward that will surely be greater than last time."

Lin Shengli laughed heartily, glanced around the workshop, and said loudly:

"Everyone, keep up the effort!"

"Factory Director Li said that this time's reward will only be more, not less, than last time."

Upon hearing that,

Everyone stopped their work, clapping and shouting "Good".

With the reward, everyone's enthusiasm grew even stronger.

About half an hour later.

Deputy Section Chief Wang returned with the few Xiao Benzi.

"Lin Gong, we want five units."

"May I ask if there is any stock available?"

After approaching Lin Shengli, the leader gave him a 90-degree bow and then spoke.

"Five units? Stock?"

During this period, with full support from the superior department and close cooperation of all sister units, the Ya gang chang actually produced five Step Bottom Furnaces.

But we cannot easily satisfy the Xiao Benzi.

Moreover, some key domestic units still have demand.

Furthermore, Deputy Factory Director Li also said that foreign guests will come in a few days.

"As a new machine, the demand for the Step Bottom Furnace is too great."

"We still haven't met the demand of some domestic factories."

"Some European countries also have purchasing intentions, so we need to send people over to negotiate."

"So there is no stock available, and our future output must prioritize supplying our domestic factories."

Lin Shengli pondered for a moment and then said slowly.

"Lin Gong, our Push Steel Furnace can no longer meet our needs."

"We urgently need the Step Bottom Furnace you invented."

"We can offer a higher price."

The leader looked anxious.

"I'm willing but unable," Lin Shengli pretended to be troubled.

The leader gritted his teeth and said, "We can increase the price by 10%, as long as you can give us one unit in stock."

Lin Shengli: "I'm really sorry."

The leader: "15%, and if you can give us one unit in stock, we'll place the order immediately."

Lin Shengli pretended to give it serious thought and then spoke in the Xiao Benzi's language.

"Seeing how sincere you are, I'll give you one unit in stock."

"I'm also risking being scolded by my superiors."

Upon hearing that,

Several Xiao Benzi jumped up excitedly.
