After the meeting concluded, there was a lunch gathering. Representatives from other regions generally appeared solemn and were difficult to approach.

Their goal was to propose adopting a new technology, which supposedly could cut costs by a third. They had tested it themselves and claimed excellent results.
Ma Lin listened attentively to their explanation and surmised that the mine leader did not understand many technical aspects of mining—he seemed to have been persuaded by the engineer.
