Chapter 170: The Despised Motorcycle Industry
Offstage, there was silence.
Everyone was seriously looking at a photo on the screen behind Luo Li, as if they were looking for their own shadow.
As Luo Li said, whether it is a relatively wealthy person such as a civil servant or a businessman, or a peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky. Every person or family has a dream about motorcycles.
The screen behind Luo Li is frozen in the last photo.
The mother on a motorcycle, carefully shuttling through the street, twisting the accelerator of the motorcycle with one hand and holding a child who looked to be only 2 or 3 years old in the other.
The mother's face was solemn, while the child smiled happily.
The photographs gradually faded to pieces, and the screen went dark again.
A beam of white light hit Luo Li's body, and he was the only one left on the stage again.
"After looking at these photos, I think everyone has their own understanding of motorcycles like me.
Or those photos are the past or future you and me, joying together, sad together, and struggling together.
So, today I'm going to introduce to you, not only about motorcycles, but also about our dreams!"
As soon as Luo Li's words fell, the screen behind him once again appeared with the word "dream" with the shocking drums.
Luo Li stood under the word dream, pointed to the screen behind him, and talked about his dream to the audience.
For more than ten minutes, Luo Li did not mention a word about motorcycles, but his words resonated deeply with the audience.
The dream words on the screen gradually disappeared, and a photo of a parked Harley-Davidson motorcycle suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Luo Li stopped his introduction and let the photos flash by one.
A city of steel, a city with a seemingly individualized personality, a brand new locomotive, and many figures speeding on Route 1.
Although Luo Li did not introduce it, everyone who saw the photos knew that the background of these photos was the United States, the most powerful country in the world.
After a while, the background on the photo finally shifted from the United States to the motorcycle championship.
Beautiful racing cars are constantly flashing.
Luo Li still didn't speak, but as the photos changed one by one, the people with careful eyes still saw the common features of the motorcycles, the Fusang flag printed on the cars.
Photo freeze.
And this time, five huge pictures appeared on the screen.
In the center of the picture is the Fuso riders standing on the podium of the MotoGP Championship, taking the top three.
So three sun flags were raised behind them.
And the four photographs that surround this one show four magnificent factories.
In the courtyard of the factory, you can see neatly stacked motorcycles, and you can't see the end.
Outside the factory gate, large trucks carrying motorcycles are lined up.
Under each photo, there is a line of words.
In addition to the name of the factory, there are also the number of motorcycles produced and exported each year by the four major motorcycle factories in Fuso.
The photo disappeared again, and an old man appeared in the center of the screen, speaking a passage in Fuso.
There are simultaneous translated subtitles at the bottom of the screen, but people can also understand that short sentence.
"It took us 45 years to become the best in the world, starting in 1949. This is our pride, our contribution to the nation!
.......”
After the video of the old man ended, a big question mark was put on the screen.
Luo Li's voice sounded again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone can understand the meaning of these photos, and no matter what you think, I am deeply touched, because I have such a dream with all my colleagues at Sunflower Technical Research.
That is, when we are old, we can be like the old man in the video, proud of our hard work, proud of our hard work!"
The audience suddenly burst into applause, which came from the engineers of Sunflower Technology.
They may understand the meaning of Luo Li's words better than ordinary people, especially the engineers who came to Bayu from FAW.
From the first day of their careers, they are determined to contribute to the country and the nation.
This is what they have been taught!
At this moment, these words were said by Luo Li in public, especially in the depressive background after such envy, it seemed even more real and no longer seemed like an empty sentence.
The inexplicable sense of honor made them feel slightly excited.
I don't know who suddenly applauded, and then the applause surged like thunder.
At the party, only Sabina didn't understand why people applauded at this moment and felt a little inexplicable.
Luo Li understands that this is because of the self-esteem of the nation.
Regardless of whether he can surpass the skills of Mi Guo and Fuso, as long as he can shout this slogan loudly, he will definitely be able to arouse the emotions that everyone cares about the most.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to have reached a climax, Luo Li pressed the PPT page turning button again.
A photo of a motorcycle appeared in people's field of vision, and two or three seconds later, someone in the audience immediately called out the name of the motorcycle.
"Honda King CB125T!"
The photo is turned again, and every three seconds a new motorcycle appears.
"Suzuki King GS125!"
"Five sheep 125!"
"Suzuki AX100!"
Photos of motorcycles with the Fuso logo aroused the excitement of the fans in the audience, and these cars are the best-selling models in China.
But they are also the dream cars that most people yearn for but are out of reach.
Suddenly, the photo ended playing and was replaced by another video.
On the video, it's a street interview.
The background is the United States, Fuso, Europe and even Africa.
In the 2-minute video, the reporter is always asking the same question.
"Which country do you think the best motorcycles in the world come from?"
At the end of the question, some of the respondents said that they were from China, some said Fuso, some said that they were stupid, and some said from Germany. But no one mentioned Xia Guo.
However, the people watching the video don't seem to see anything wrong.
In fact, Xia Guo really doesn't have any motorcycles to take, so people don't feel strange at all because no one mentions Xia Guo.
In the quiet of the venue, the video was playing on the screen again.
In the video, the reporter asked another question.
"Do you think it is possible for Xia Guo to surpass the country you mentioned and make the best motorcycle in the world?"
After this question was asked, the respondents either politely said that it was possible, while others bluntly joked that it was impossible.
There are even more disdainful and do not answer.
The last interviewer, even after pursing his lips, asked the reporter rhetorically: "Does Xia have motorcycles?"
The harsh words made the audience under the stage change their faces in an awkward smile.
Thinking of the fact that the best-selling domestic motorcycles did not have the Xia Guo brand, I felt a burst of humiliation.
