Chapter 1516

Director Zhou excitedly shook Division Chief Cheng's hand: "Thank you, Division Chief Cheng, thank you very much for your support."

After Division Chief Cheng left, Director Zhou and Tong Zhi thanked Cao Weiguo again, insisting on inviting Cao Weiguo out for a few drinks. They knew very well that if it weren't for Cao Weiguo's face, it would be difficult for them to see Division Chief Cheng today, let alone get the indicators so easily.

The hospitality was hard to refuse, so Cao Weiguo had to explain the work to the section chief under him, picked up his briefcase, and left the Municipal Industrial Bureau with Director Zhou and Tong Zhi.

The three of them drank and chatted at Tianxingju, and Tong Zhi's tongue became big from drinking.

Tong Zhi: "Division Chief Cao, thanks to your help today, I'll toast you another cup."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Technician Tong has a good drinking capacity, I toast you."

"Cheers!"

The two clinked glasses and drank them in one gulp.

Director Zhou picked up his chopsticks and began to complain: "Hey, it's really impermanent. How can you say that the relationship between the two countries changes as soon as it changes, just like children having a tantrum, coming unexpectedly. A few years ago, the Soviet Big Brother was really sincere, giving equipment if you want equipment, giving technology if you want technology, giving people if you want people... At that time, our technical barriers were broken one today and five tomorrow... But in a blink of an eye, the Big Brother changed his face, the engineers were withdrawn, the drawings were destroyed, and even the manuals were torn. If you want to add a few pieces of equipment, you have to beg your grandfather and grandmother. It's really suffocating. When can our country catch up with the Soviet Union, catch up with Europe and America, and let them run to beg us to sell them machines and equipment? As long as I can vent this anger, I am willing to reduce my life by ten years."

For Director Zhou's words, Cao Weiguo also had a deep understanding, because the Procurement Management Division he managed also often dealt with the Soviet side. In order to buy equipment and raw materials from the Soviet side, he suffered enough anger, but what can you do if you are not convinced by the technical gap?

Other people's equipment is more advanced than yours, other people can produce things you can't produce, other people don't sell to you, it's just not available, other people don't sell, it's okay, you don't buy, it's not okay.

Catching up with the Soviet Union and catching up with Europe and America is not enough just by shouting slogans. It requires practical actions step by step.

Raising his glass and drinking it in one gulp, Cao Weiguo comforted: "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, there will be machines, there will be airplanes, there will be aircraft carriers. Our country will definitely become increasingly powerful, and will definitely be able to catch up with the Soviet Union, catch up with Europe and America, and become a big country and a strong country standing on the world stage."

After eating and drinking, the three parted ways at the entrance of Tianxingju. Looking at the backs of Director Zhou and Tong Zhi gradually moving away, Cao Weiguo felt a bit complicated.

Catch up with the Soviet Union! Catch up with Europe and America!

Is overtaking on a curve in technology really feasible?

Even decades later, many people talk about being a big country in processing and manufacturing, but processing and manufacturing are also divided into low-end and high-end. Take the high-end equipment and instruments used by many production enterprises, many of them are imported from abroad. A machine costs millions, and if there is a slight problem, you have to pay a high salary to invite their engineers from abroad to repair it...

Shaking his head, perhaps he really drank too much, why think about these things that are far away? What does it have to do with him? This is not something he can decide and influence. Thinking too much is just adding trouble. In the future, he should eat and drink, and be a salted fish with peace of mind. Lying flat is quite good. ===== CHAPTER 1518 =====
