Chapter 109: Dispute

Zhang Lao didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain when he came to Tianjing this time, Zhang Lao did not have any doubts about Wu Shengjie's explanation, at this time he was thinking more about how much hybrid power would bring to Huaxia's military power if it was applied to the military, so at this time he smiled and promised Wu Shengjie: "Since this is the case!" Then I'll give you a tank for experiments, and if the test results of your hybrid can meet the standards of our army, I will not only send you engineers to help you build a car factory, but I will also give you a considerable military order for the factory. ”

Wu Shengjie did not consider the military industry when preparing to build the automobile factory, because some of what he saw and heard in his previous life is still fresh in Wu Shengjie's memory today, and the reason why he will explain the hybrid to Zhang Lao today is mainly for the sake of Zhang Lao is grandfather of Jiang Xiuxiu, but Zhang Lao's words were undoubtedly out of his expectations, thinking of what kind of situation the automobile factory would face after accepting the army's order, Wu Shengjie was not happy at all at this time, so Wu Shengjie subconsciously shook his head at this time, replied with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang! Thank you very much for arranging for the engineering corps to help us build the car factory, but I think the matter of military orders should be slow. ”

Zhang Lao originally felt that this order was equivalent to fighting for a stable income for the automobile factory, Wu Shengjie would definitely be very happy to thank him after hearing it, but he couldn't imagine that Wu Shengjie would refuse, he was puzzled by this, looked at Wu Shengjie standing in front of him, and asked with a puzzled face: "Shengjie!" Although the military order is very strictly controlled, as long as your hybrid can meet the requirements, at least it can be regarded as a stable income for your factory, why should you refuse? ”

"Although military orders can allow our future automobile factories to obtain a stable order, there are advantages and disadvantages, because in our country, military orders will definitely limit the development of our automobile factories, so I do not want my automobile factories to be linked to military enterprises." When Wu Shengjie heard Zhang Lao's inquiry, he was not afraid that Zhang Lao would be angry, so he directly said what he thought in his heart.

When Zhang Lao learned that Wu Shengjie was worried about the development of the automobile factory and refused the military order, he was undoubtedly dissatisfied with Wu Shengjie's idea, and instinctively felt that Wu Shengjie was not patriotic, and the expression on his face obviously became very ugly, and reprimanded Wu Shengjie: "Shengjie! From the time I met you until you said this, I have always had a good impression of you, but now you have disappointed me, whether a country is strong or not has a direct relationship with the country's military strength, although your hybrid has not yet been finalized whether it is suitable for military application, but once it is determined that it can be applied to the military, then your hybrid can definitely play a role in promoting our country's military power, and you are only for your own money and are not willing to help the country, This selfish idea of yours is absolutely undesirable. ”

When Wu Shengjie heard Zhang Lao's rebuke, he didn't feel a little guilty, but replied to Zhang Lao without guilt: "Zhang Lao! If our country's system is like the United States, I will definitely not hesitate to cooperate with the country, but the system of our Tang Empire is completely different, once I cooperate with the country, in the end my company will not only not be able to get better development, but will even gradually become the state, so if I really want to cooperate with the country, I would rather not run this factory. ”

"Wu Shengjie! You are a citizen of the Tang Empire, it was the Tang Empire that educated you, and now you have the opportunity to repay the motherland, but you are pushing back, you know that your behavior is unpatriotic and absolutely undesirable. When Zhang Lao heard Wu Shengjie's answer, the anger in his heart suddenly rose, and he angrily taught Wu Shengjie a lesson.

When Wu Shengjie heard Elder Zhang's reprimand, he remembered a video on the Internet in his previous life and several incidents in his previous life, so he retorted not to be outdone: "Grandpa Zhang! I don't dare to compliment you with these words, I am just a fourteen-year-old boy, and my understanding of the so-called national righteousness is still very superficial, and I want to ask Zhang Lao, is the army of our Tang Empire the people's army or the army of the ruling party? ”

"Of course, our army is the people's army, and the strength of the army is so that our people can live a happy life, but the army is a huge group and needs someone to manage it, and there is not much contradiction between the two." When Zhang Lao heard Wu Shengjie's words, the expression on his face changed slightly, as a former national leader, how could he not know that Wu Shengjie had something to say, but he knew that there were some things that could never be admitted, so at this time he refuted Wu Shengjie's idea very harshly.

If Wu Shengjie was really just a fourteen-year-old child, he would definitely not have so many thoughts, but some of the things he saw and heard in his previous life are still vivid today, but what those things are, Wu Shengjie didn't dare to say it, because this is a harmonious society, and the final result of discordant voices will only be harmonized, so at this time he said to Zhang Lao: "Grandpa Zhang! Whether you want to attach an unpatriotic hat or some other hat to my head, I still say that if the state does not interfere in the production of my car factory, then I can cooperate with the state, and if the state wants to interfere, then I would rather not run this factory. ”

Wu Shengjie's answer made Zhang Lao's previous good impression of Wu Shengjie disappear without a trace in an instant, he looked at Wu Shengjie standing in front of him angrily, and said angrily: "I'm angry with Lao Tzu, stinky boy!" If you were my grandson, I would have to smash you to death with a cane right now. ”

"Dad! You are angry, Shengjie is just a child, his thoughts are very simple, and there are such profound questions that come to mind. Zhang Yuxin, who was on the side, saw that his father was so angry that his face turned blue, so he hurriedly spoke out and started to make peace.

At this time, Zhang Lao was angry, and he still listened to Zhang Yuxin's words, knocked his crutches on the ground, and turned around and walked out of the gate without saying a word.

Wu Lao and Chen Lao on the side also had a much lower impression of Wu Shengjie because of Wu Shengjie's words, and the two shook their heads at each other, didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the gate.

After a long time, Zhang Yuxin walked back to the office from the outside and asked Wu Shengjie with a dissatisfied face: "Xiaojie! Auntie has always thought that you are a sensible child, why are you so ignorant today, and you are happy when you want to be angry with the old man. ”

If it was usual, Wu Shengjie would definitely accept Zhang Yuxin's scolding, but this matter is related to the future of Shenglong Automobile Factory, so he has to fight with reason, so at this time, he replied to Zhang Yuxin very seriously: "Aunt Zhang! It's not that I intend to provoke the old man, but this matter is related to the fate of our future automobile factory, you must know that these studies are all my hard work, and the automobile factory we are also heavily invested, if it fails, we can only pay for ourselves, but once our automobile factory accepts the military's order, it will become a disguised enterprise that relies on the army's orders to survive, and my original plan is far from the opposite, in other words, we have to pay for the loss, but the country obtains it, I am patriotic, but I am also a businessman, and of course I have to fight for my own interests. ”

Zhang Yuxin is an official, so of course she knows very well that what Wu Shengjie said is true, once the hybrid power passes the test, then the state will definitely prohibit them from applying this power to civilian cars, and it is simply impossible for the automobile factory to have other developments, but she was born in a red family, and she was instilled by her parents since she was a child with the idea of putting the country first, so at this time, although she felt that what Wu Shengjie said was very reasonable, but she felt that in front of personal interests and national interests, Small personal gains must be sacrificed.

So at this time, Zhang Yuxin persuaded Wu Shengjie and said: "Xiaojie! Your worries are indeed reasonable, but only when there is a country can there be a home, and only when the country is strong can we Datang people gain the respect of others, why can't you think about the country? ”

Wu Shengjie was once deeply poisoned by the policy of fooling the people, and the disaster at home in his previous life, as well as a series of things that happened later, made him feel how ridiculous the so-called righteousness was, so at this time, he was not afraid of whether Zhang Yuxin would be angry, so he said directly to Zhang Yuxin: "Aunt Zhang! Someone once invented a product, in the first year brought him a lot of income, as a result of many people after seeing it is very red-eyed, not only imitated this product but also a big price reduction, but this person has applied for a patent for his own product before, so he used the patent certificate to warn those foreign businessmen who buy, and at that time because his behavior violated the interests of many people, as a result, someone put on the charge of ignoring the country's justice, saying that the product he researched belongs to the state, and any enterprise has the right to prevent it. This man invested a huge amount of money in the research of this product, if he did not succeed, he would not only be ruined, but even saddled with a debt, but God's favor allowed him to complete the invention, but it was easily snatched away by those who did not work hard, and finally carried a ridiculous charge. ”

When Wu Shengjie said this, he didn't intend to end the topic there, but continued: "Aunt Zhang! What I said before is just an example, now I will give another example, and this example is happening around you, you just told me that you can choose between national interests and personal interests, and if necessary, you can sacrifice personal interests, so when you are a big family, when you are in power, will you give up the interests of your family for the sake of the country, since ancient times, when has our country considered the people in the appointment of officials, and have you considered how much contribution this official will bring to the country after taking office? Rather, it is to consider whether the official understands the mind of the superior leader, whether he will be obedient, and what do you do between the interests of the country and the interests of the family? ”
