Zhuang Qun's face was not very good-looking.

Is what Chen Geng said the truth? Of course it is a fact, and it is precisely because it is a fact that in the face of Chen Geng's words, he can't refute it, and after a while, he held back two words: "There are many things you don't understand." ”

"What you said is," Chen Geng did not deny this, but immediately, he stabbed Zhuang Qun in the heart again: "But the fact that the Romanian president almost died in the red flag car is not fake, right?" ”

Many people know that the Hongqi sedan was indicated by US President Richard Nixon to take a Hongqi sedan when he visited China, and it was advertised as a strong evidence that the comfort and reliability of the Hongqi sedan had reached the world's advanced level, but almost no one knew that when the Romanian president visited China, he went to visit the Great Wall one day according to our arrangement. But on the way home, the brakes suddenly failed and almost caused a major diplomatic disaster, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of the driver at the time, and the clever and nimble use of the engine to brake, the president of Romania would probably have become the first and only foreign head of state to die in the republic.

After this incident, the central leadership severely criticized Hongqi Car and FAW, and this incident became the biggest stain on FAW and Hongqi Car.

Zhuang Qun's face became more and more ugly, but he couldn't argue with Chen Geng's words, to tell the truth, with the industrial base of the republic and the overall technical level of the automobile industry, with Hongqi's all-manual production method, the quality of Hongqi cars was unstable. It is inevitable that there will be all kinds of quality problems and even safety problems, and the board should not be all hit on the ass of FAW, but who makes the Hongqi car produced by FAW, you FAW enjoy this great glory, and you have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

Snorting, Zhuang Qun said, "So what? Red flags are still red flags. ”

Implication. What if it almost caused such a big diplomatic storm? What if Hongqi is no longer in production? The red flag is still the red flag, and the FAW is still the FAW.

"What you said is not wrong at all," Chen Geng said with a smile: "But the red flag is not only the red flag of FAW, but also the red flag of the people of the whole country, just like FAW is not only FAW, but also FAW of the people of the whole country, right?" ”

Zhuang Qun opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to refute Chen Geng for a while.

Although the actual situation is that "FAW is the FAW of all employees of FAW", it must be said in any promotional materials that "FAW is the FAW of the people of the whole country". But from a political point of view, Chen Geng's remarks are absolutely politically correct, and there is no mistake at all: who dares to say that FAW is not FAW of the Chinese?

Looking at Zhuang Qun, who was angry with him, Chen Geng knew that the heat was almost over: "Vice President Zhuang, haven't you thought about doing something for our automobile industry after retirement?" ”

"Huh...... It's up to you? Zhuang Qun looked at Chen Geng with a mocking face, and the old man was obviously aroused by Chen Geng, and said: "It's not that I look down on you, FAW, FAW, BAIC and SAIC, which are key automobile manufacturing enterprises supported by the state. With the strong support of the state, you can't make a good car, and you just started building motorcycles and want to get involved in cars? Lad. Your idea is good, but listen to my advice, the car is not something you can worry about, and it would be nice if you can make the motorcycle well. ”

"I don't think there's anything difficult about cars," Chen Geng looked at Zhuang Qun fearlessly, and said unceremoniously: "This thing is a car." It's complicated, there are tens of thousands of parts on it, but if it's simple, it's actually simple, it's nothing more than a sectional sofa that can walk......"

Zhuang Qun was annoyed by Chen Geng's indifferent tone. The old gentleman has been making a car all his life, and he has a kind of sincere awe of the car, and the most unpleasant thing is Chen Geng's cheerful tone, and immediately said: "A modular sofa that can walk?" It's simple! What do you think a car is? I'm telling you, there's a lot going on in the development of a car......"

"We've got rid of all the old bugs with 212." Chen Geng said suddenly.

"What did you say?" Zhuang Qun was stunned for a moment.

I said. After our modified 212 Jeep, we modified all the old problems of the 212, including the problems that BAIC has not modified over the years, such as the carburetor is not good at low temperature, the engine is difficult to start at low temperature, leakage and other problems," Chen Geng said without modesty: "I can proudly say that the 212 Jeep after our modification is definitely the most perfect and reliable Jeep at present." ”

Zhuang Qun was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Nonsense! It's simply not possible! ”

"There is nothing impossible about this, what BAIC can't do, it doesn't mean we can't do it," Chen Geng glared back at Zhuang Qun's gaze without fear: "We have not only greatly improved the reliability of the 212 Jeep, but also made radical improvements to the safety, comfort and fuel consumption of the whole vehicle, especially the fuel consumption, the fuel consumption of 212 Jeep per 100 kilometers is about 15, but the fuel consumption has been reduced to 11 after the carburetor produced by us." ”

"11 oils?" Chen Geng's words to Zhuang Qun is a huge blow, from the founding of the People's Republic of China is a poor oil country, until now, China's oil resources are not enough, although the country is desperately producing and exporting crude oil, but this is done in order to export foreign exchange, as far as the domestic situation is concerned, our oil resources are far from enough, all walks of life, especially the transportation industry has been listed as an important indicator of employee evaluation, 212 jeep 100 kilometers 15 oil fuel consumption level has been recognized as "relatively economical", But this stinky boy in front of him, who doesn't know what respect for his old-timers is, can actually reduce fuel consumption by more than a quarter?

Zhuang Qun's first reaction was that Chen Geng was lying and bragging.

For Zhuang Qun's question, Chen Geng's answer was very simple and rude: "This time I drove our improved 212 Jeep, and now the car is parked outside, if you don't believe it, you can now test the fuel consumption level and low-temperature starting performance of the car." ”

Since Chen Geng dared to let himself test so loudly, it was obvious that there were two brushes. But Rao is so, Zhuang Qun still can't believe that although FAW's main business is the production of trucks, and BAIC is the largest off-road vehicle in China, but as an automobile central enterprise, the two units not only have business dealings. Even the exchange of personnel is a lot, Zhuang Qun knows that BAIC has done a lot of work in order to improve the reliability and fuel economy of 212 Jeep, but limited by the domestic technical level and industrial strength, there has been no big progress, now, Chen Geng, the hairy boy, stood in front of him, and said unashamedly that they solved these problems, how can he believe it?

But Chen Geng's impact on him is not over......

"In addition, the technology obtained from the improvement of the 212 Jeep was used. The next step is to launch a facelifted model based on the current 212 Jeep, and now that the relevant design work has been completed, if you have any doubts about our work, we warmly welcome you to our unit to supervise our work. Chen Geng finally leaked his fox tail.

The previous series of words were all paving the way for the last sentence, as for whether the previous words would be too intense and whether they would stimulate Zhuang Qun, Chen Geng was actually not very worried. has been dealing with these retired veteran cadres for a long time, and Chen Geng knows too well the temperament of these veteran cadres who have retired in recent years. For most of them, no matter how much they don't like what you're doing, as long as it's an argument within the normal scope of work, you don't have to worry about them using their connections and connections to attack you - of course, the other few are a different matter, just based on Chen Geng's knowledge of Zhuang Qun. He is not the latter.

However, Zhuang Qun is the deputy chief designer of FAW in the end, and he has worked all his life, so it is understandable that he didn't react at first, but he still doesn't understand what Chen Geng's idea is when Chen Geng's fox tail is exposed, and this life is in vain.

The anger just now disappeared without a trace in an instant. He looked Chen Geng up and down, and said with some surprise: "Boy, you really just graduated?" ”

"Yes, I just graduated from Huaqing in July this year." Chen Gengyue immediately suffered from the face of an honest student.

Zhuang Qun didn't speak immediately, but groaned for a while, and then said, "You said you drove the 212 jeep that your unit modified?" ”

"We rely on this to eat," Chen Geng was overjoyed, and hurriedly smiled: "If I, the manager, don't drive the car we modified ourselves, can I still expect others to trust our technology?" ”

"You kid is quite bold," nodded noncommittally: "Tell me, what improvements have you made to the 212 Jeep?" ”

Zhuang Qun doesn't know what improvements Runhua Industry has made to 212 Jeep, Chen Geng doesn't think it's strange, as the deputy chief designer of FAW, Zhuang Qun doesn't know how much work to be busy with before retirement, if it is BAIC's own withdrawal of the improvement and upgrading plan, it may still attract him to pay attention to and understand, but this modification plan is just a local small auto repair factory launched, then it is impossible to enter Zhuang Qun's eyes, and there is nothing strange if you don't understand, Chen Geng hurriedly told Zhuang Qun what modifications Runhua Industrial had made to the 212 Jeep, especially the improvement of the chassis and power system.

In fact, before Chen Geng finished speaking, Zhuang Qun had already set off a lot of waves in his heart: the front and rear suspension of the four-link plus longitudinal torsion bar spring? A new high-precision carburetor? Cooperation with the military-industrial system? Such a good way, why didn't the comrades of BAIC think of it?

But then, Zhuang Qun smiled bitterly in his heart: What if the comrades of BAIC thought of it? Cross-system collaboration? Easier said than done!

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the planned economy played a huge role in the rapid development of our industry and economy for the country, but later, the shackles of the planned economy to the development of the economy and industry became more and more obvious, the most obvious one is that the cooperation between the cross-system and cross-industry is almost completely impossible, such as the same production of vehicles, the military system has its own set, the automobile system has its own set, the agricultural machinery system has its own set, each system is trying to improve itself, and strive to make itself a closed, The self-sufficient circle, such as the problem of the localization of Poussin, which is now a headache for the leaders of the magic city, in fact, many problems encountered in the localization of Poussin can be solved from the military system and the agricultural machinery system, but they just don't! Even if they kneel on the ground and arch their heads to the ground, they refuse to ask for help from the military industrial system and the agricultural machinery system, and the third ordnance repair plant can become the carburetor supplier of Poussin, which is really the result of many coincidences.

It is precisely because he knows how much resistance there is, the idea just now just turned around in his heart and disappeared without a trace, but from Chen Geng's words just now, he keenly grasped a little information, and groaned for a while, Zhuang Qun asked Chen Geng: "Does your unit have production qualifications?" ”

Chen Geng only felt that his heart was beating violently twice, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

"Oh......" Zhuang Qun replied and stopped talking.

……………………

Until he came out, Chen Geng, who was asked for the car keys by Zhuang Qun, didn't understand what he meant, but ...... No matter what, of course, it's good that the former deputy chief designer of FAW can join, but if he refuses to come, there is nothing to pity, it is not easy to come, and there are more important things to do.

Compared with the last time I came to the capital, the students were much more enthusiastic, and as soon as they met, they had good friendships before, general but relatively familiar friends, familiar but not much contact, or even unfamiliar but acquaintance...... Classmates, senior brothers, senior sisters, and classmates' classmates were all enthusiastic and confused: "Good boy, you independently developed an engine, what kind of medicine did you take?" How? ”

Huaqing, Peking University, the National People's Congress, and the brothers and sisters in the entire capital university circle faintly envy Chen Geng.

Looking back on the past, the scene of Chen Geng's request to go down to the grassroots level seems to be still in front of him, and when everyone discussed this matter behind their backs, they said "This kid was definitely beaten stupid by his father", but now that I look at it, how long has it been, this kid has already made such dazzling achievements, it is really ......

Chen Geng smiled modestly: "Good luck, pure luck, if it weren't for the help of several engineers in Chengfa, I don't know where this engine is." (To be continued.) )
