"You really want to know?"

Feng Xiaochen had already stood up, and he also pulled away Xiong Xiaofang, who was trying to stop in front of him, and asked without any timidity when facing Zou Bingzheng's murderous gaze.

"You said! You can tell a truth today. I accept Luo Ye's dump truck. If you can't tell the truth, I will hand you over to my miners to see if they agree or not!" Zou Bingzheng responded.

"Director Zou, is the plan for the Honghedu copper mine mentioned just now true?"

"A word is good!"

"According to this plan, in fifteen years, the production scale of Honghedu will reach an annual output of 200,000 tons of copper metal. Is that true?"

"That's right!"

"The copper metal reserves of Honghedu are less than 9 million tons. With this production scale, in 45 years, Honghedu will have no mine to mine. Have you ever calculated?"

Zou Bingzheng was stunned and subconsciously responded: "...then, so what?"

"How is it?" Feng Xiaochen sneered, "I know that at that time, Director Zou was no longer alive. The honor of advanced workers and outstanding party members was engraved on your tombstone. But your descendants are still there, and your descendants will face a hollowed-out mine. You, including our generation, can sell these ores at a low price in exchange for foreign exchange, eat big meat, and drink small wine, but have you ever thought about it? This is overdrawing the wealth of our descendants and overdrawing the foundation of our entire nation. I can't think of how a person like you who gains a halo by selling your descendants' property has the face to call yourself an old revolutionary!"

"this……"

Zou Bingzheng was stunned. He never expected that Feng Xiaochen would come out from this perspective and speak with confidence. He instinctively felt that Feng Xiaochen's words must be wrong, because the thoughts he said were completely contrary to the concepts he had believed in for decades. But the four words "destiny generations" deeply hurt his heart, making him feel speechless.

No one knows the mining years of Honghedu copper mine better than Zou Bingzheng. According to the current plan, by the end of the 85th phase, Honghedu copper mine will reach the highest designed production capacity, that is, the annual output of 200,000 tons of copper metal. According to this scale, from 2030 to 2040, all recoverable reserves of Honghedu will be exhausted, and the mine will be abandoned unless there are new geological discoveries.

2040 is a very distant time point, so far away that it is not enough to think about it. Zou Bingzheng occasionally thought about this problem. What should the mine do when the ore is finished mining? Every time he thinks like this, he will smile self-deprecatingly, thinking that he is too worried. There are still 60 years left. Can he manage such a distant matter?

But the young man in front of him put this problem bloodily in front of him. That's right, 60 years later, Zou Bingzheng was indeed gone, and even his young grandson had retired, but his son had a son and a grandson. This mine is the wealth of his descendants and the wealth of the entire nation. His generation dug up the mine, what should he eat?

"According to you, is it wrong to develop a mine in the country?" Zou Bingzheng's tone slowed down a little. He realized that the young man in front of him seemed to be farther away than him. He said that he was old and backward and shameless. Could it be that he really had any deep meaning?

Feng Xiaochen also put away his aggressive attitude just now and said: "There is nothing wrong with the country's mine development. Our country is still very backward and has to rely on exporting minerals to exchange for foreign exchange in order to introduce technology. But this is by no means a long-term solution. We cannot regard this as our established national policy."

"What is our national policy?" Zou Bingzheng asked.

"Develop manufacturing industry, rely on manufacturing to establish a country." Feng Xiaochen said, "In 10 years, we will complete import substitution, so that we no longer need to exchange equipment for foreigners with precious ores. In 10 years, we will complete export substitution and use the machinery and equipment we produce to exchange for foreigners' ores.

The Andina copper mine in Chile has a copper reserve of 120 million tons, equivalent to more than 10 Red River Ferries; the Esondida copper mine has a reserve of 100 million tons. There are also Peru, Congo, Australia, and Indonesia, all super-large copper mines with reserves of more than 20 million tons. Our goal is to one day exchange the equipment we produce, including large excavators, dump trucks, power generation equipment, and metallurgical equipment, for their copper mines. Our own copper mines will be sealed and left to our descendants."

"Well said!"

Wang Genji cheered loudly. He now understood Feng Xiaochen's strategy, which was to use drunkenness to anger Zou Bingzheng, and then use these principles to impress this upright old revolutionary. Keep his ores and use other people's ores to benefit the people. Such a lofty goal is not to be moved by the old man. To achieve this, he must first revitalize China's own equipment manufacturing industry. Then, it is naturally necessary to strongly support equipment manufacturing companies such as Luo Ye and help them grow up quickly.

If it is a little vulgar, it is to tell Zou Bingzheng that you are not good at mining. You are doing unethical things that harm your descendants, and what we do is to re-engage and do is a great thing that benefits the country. If you don’t support us, you are a national scum and shameless person...

Haha, Feng Xiaochen is really a special person, so he is not afraid that Lao Zou will not listen to his explanation, so he will directly find a few miners to tear him and feed him the dog?

Hearing Wang Genji's cheers, Zou Bingzheng, Fu Wugang and others glanced at him. When Zou Bingzheng took his eyes back, his arrogance had disappeared. Zou Bingzheng also understood the truth that Wang Genji had learned. He suddenly realized that the achievements he was proud of were really difficult to record in history. Future generations would only point to his name and say: It was this old man who dug up all the mines in our country and left us with devastation.

Thinking of this, Zou Bingzheng felt that he had no strength left. He sat down dejectedly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, tilted his neck and drank it clean. Feng Xiaochen also sat down. He smiled at Zou Bingzheng and accompanied the other party with a glass of wine. After all, the other party was an elder, and it was indeed an old revolutionary. He scolded the other party like this, and it was really unreasonable not to accompany a glass of wine.

"If we accept Luo Ye's dump truck, will they be able to replace it with imports?"

Zou Bingzheng asked Feng Xiaochen in a hoarse voice.

When he heard Zou Bingzheng say this, Fu Wugang and Xiong Xiaofang were shocked. Why, Lao Zou admits his defeat? He is scolded as shameless. He doesn't care about such a great humiliation? And judging from this meaning, it seems that he also promised Director Feng to accept Luo Ye's dump truck. What's the rhythm?

Feng Xiaochen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief without mentioning how these two people were so upset. He was willing to let him go. Who knew what kind of bad temper was? If he really slapped him in the face, he might not be able to fight back. Fortunately, Lao Zou is really worthy of being an old revolutionary. Even if he gets angry, he will make people reason. After he explains the truth thoroughly, Lao Zou really bowed his head and just for this point. Yes, if he doesn't call him shameless in the future, he should respectfully call him an old revolution.

"Director Zou, I cannot guarantee that Luo Ye can do anything. After all, there is still something on the man-made side. If Luo Ye is not good at it, no matter how many opportunities others give you, it will be in vain. However, from our reinstallation office, we will work hard to promote every project. As long as half of the projects can be successful, we can get rid of the current passive situation of selling ore and replacing equipment. In fact, not only your Honghedu copper mine, but also your iron ore, coal mine, lead and zinc mine, and oil fields across the country are all using non-renewable resources to export and earn foreign exchange in exchange for urgently needed machinery and equipment in all walks of life.

We cannot change this situation at the moment, but we must have the determination and courage to change it. If every mine and every oil field are satisfied with using imported equipment to exploit resources and are unaware that this is a self-destructive approach, then our country will not be unable to stand on its own among the nations of the world."

"You make sense." Zou Bingzheng nodded heavily and said, "We did make parochial mistakes in this matter, and your criticism of us is correct. However, when it comes to Luo Ye's dump truck, we still need to understand their real situation. After all, we also have production tasks. A game of chess in the country requires every piece to get the position."

"I understand." Feng Xiaochen was as good as a stream of good deeds. Since Old Zou had already bowed his head, he would naturally lower his attitude. He took his briefcase, took out the compensation plan formulated by Luo Ye from the bag, handed it to Zou Bingzheng, and said, "Director Zou, this is a quality commitment made by Luo Ye. If the dump truck they provided has quality problems, they are willing to compensate according to the above terms. Of course, I know that Honghedu doesn't care about their compensation, but this can indeed restrain them and let them do their job well."

Zou Bingzheng took the document, glanced at it a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, with this attitude, it is indeed a kind of sincerity of cooperation. Let's do this, I need to discuss this with other leaders. Let's stop here today. Xiao Feng, thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson. I would like to pay a cup to you in my personal name."

Speaking of this, he solemnly picked up the wine glass and signaled to Feng Xiaochen.

Feng Xiaochen quickly raised his glass and clashed with Zou Bingzheng. Then the two of them looked at each other knowingly and drank the wine in their glasses.

Seeing Zou Bingzheng shook hands with Feng Xiaochen and talk to each other, Fu Wugang became active again. This time, it was finally his turn to toast. He filled Feng Xiaochen with wine and raised his glass and said enthusiastically:

"Come on, Director Feng, thank you for teaching us a precious lesson. I'll give you a cup... Hey, Director Feng, Director Feng!"
