Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. Li Fengshi led a group of people from the Automobile Industry Bureau and came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in a menacing manner. Their arrival aroused the curiosity and attention of the workers in the factory.

Li Huaide from the Logistics Department carefully prepared a simple and warm welcome ceremony according to the instructions of Secretary Gao and Director Yang yesterday. A bright banner was hung high at the gate of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, with red words on it: "Welcome the leaders of the automotive industry to inspect and guide our work."

After the welcoming ceremony, Gao Hongwei led the evaluation team of the Automobile Industry Bureau headed by Li Fengshi without hesitation and walked straight to the automobile testing field of the machinery manufacturing plant. They walked with firm steps, focused expressions and full of expectations.

When everyone walked into the car testing ground, they were amazed by the scene in front of them. Six brand-new jeeps were neatly arranged there, shining with metallic light, as if showing their strength and charm to the world. These jeeps were the first batch of products successfully rolled off the production line of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, representing the hard work and wisdom of all the workers in the factory.

Gao Hongwei stood in front of the jeeps, his face filled with pride and a smile. He pointed at the vehicles and said to Li Fengshi excitedly: "Director Li, these six jeeps are the first batch of our factory's production results! They are our pride and our driving force. In a while, our factory will have a bigger breakthrough - trucks will soon roll off the production line. By then, I hope Director Li can arrange for someone to come and evaluate and give us valuable advice and support."

Li Fengshi responded with a smile: "Secretary Gao, please rest assured! Your factory just needs to be bold and give full play to its creativity and strength. As long as you can successfully produce products and pass the evaluation of the expert group, our bureau will go all out to support your production work. We believe that you have enough ability and potential to become a leader in the domestic automobile manufacturing field!"

"That would be very embarrassing for the comrades in the Automobile Industry Bureau!" Gao Hongwei said in a Versailles way. He smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about this "trouble".

"Haha, Secretary Gao, you are really a joker. I am not afraid that you will bother us. I am only afraid that you will not bother us. Only when we are busier, can we see that our country's automobile industry will develop better." Li Fengshi responded with a smile. His eyes revealed his expectations and confidence in the development of the country's automobile industry.

At this moment, Zhang Ke walked up to Li Fengshi and said in a low voice: "Director Li, the experts in the expert group are ready and can start evaluating the jeep at any time. What do you think?" There was a hint of inquiry and respect in his tone.

Li Fengshi waved his hand without hesitation and said directly: "What are you waiting for? Let's get started." His eyes were firm and decisive, showing his importance and determination to this work.

After Zhang Ke left, Gao Hongwei said, "Director Li, it will probably take some time for the expert group to evaluate the jeep. How about we go to the meeting room of the machinery factory and take a rest?"

"Okay, Secretary Gao." Gao Hongwei then brought Li Fengshi to the conference room of the machinery manufacturing plant and sat on the sofa waiting for the expert group's evaluation report on the jeep.

After receiving the instructions, Zhang Ke immediately nodded to show that he understood. He turned to the expert group nearby and conveyed Li Fengshi's decision to them. The members of the expert group nodded one after another, indicating that they were ready.

"Dear experts, Director Li said that we can start evaluating the jeep now." Zhang Ke announced loudly. His voice was full of confidence, as if foreshadowing an important test was about to begin. As he spoke, the atmosphere on the scene became tense, and everyone turned their eyes to the jeep parked there, waiting for the experts' evaluation results. Then the members of the expert group began their intensive evaluation work, while Director Yang stood in the distance and watched nervously as the expert group began to evaluate the jeep, and He Yuzhu stood on the scene ready to answer the questions of the expert group at any time.

After carefully observing the jeep, the members of the expert group sat together and communicated with each other. Finally, the expert group unanimously agreed that the jeep produced by the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant had superior performance and reliable quality, and recommended that the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant be allowed to produce jeeps on a large scale.

Zhang Ke came to Li Fengshi with the jeep assessment report issued by the expert group, bent down and said softly: "Director Li, the expert group has completed the assessment of the jeep. Here is the assessment report. Please take a look."

Li Fengshi took the report casually, but did not open it to read it directly. Instead, he asked directly: "Chief Zhang, what is the evaluation result given by the expert group?"

Zhang Ke immediately raised his voice and said, "Director Li, the expert group unanimously believes that the jeeps produced by the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant have superior performance and reliable quality. It is recommended that the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant be allowed to produce jeeps on a large scale."

After listening to Zhang Ke's words, Li Fengshi nodded to Zhang Ke and said, "Chief Zhang, please take the expert group to find a place to rest first. Secretary Gao and I will talk for a few more words." Zhang Ke turned and walked towards the expert group.

Li Fengshi smiled and said to Gao Hongwei: "Congratulations, Lao Gao, your factory's jeep has passed the evaluation of the expert group, and you can prepare for mass production."

Although Gao Hongwei had long been confident that the jeep produced by his factory could pass the evaluation of the Automobile Industry Bureau, when he heard from Li Fengshi that the jeep had really passed the evaluation, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell, and he said with a relaxed look: "I already knew that the jeep made by our factory could pass the evaluation. What do you think, Director Li, I was right. Although it took our factory more than three months to make the jeep, our factory has been researching the technology of making jeeps for several years."

"Haha, then you are really lucky, Lao Gao. You just came to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and you got such a great achievement for free. Others worked hard to plant the peach trees, and when the peach trees bear fruit, it's a bargain for you."

Gao Hongwei smiled and said generously, "This shows that I'm lucky. By the way, Director Li, should the department allocate some equipment to my factory so that we can mass-produce jeeps? We can't let our workers rub them bit by bit by hand."

"Secretary Gao, I have no say on the matter you asked about. I have to wait until I return to the department and submit the evaluation report, and then wait for the leaders above to hold a meeting to study it before we can get a result. But don't worry, there is a high probability that equipment will be allocated to your factory. As for how much equipment can be allocated to your factory, it is hard to say. It depends on the production tasks assigned to your factory by the department at that time." Li Fengshi said after a moment of hesitation.

"As long as they allocate equipment to us, it doesn't matter how much. Anyway, I believe that our superiors will not treat our factory unfairly." Gao Hongwei said confidently.

"By the way, Lao Gao, didn't you say that the imitation trucks of your factory will soon be off the production line? What stage has it reached now? Can you take me on a tour?" Li Fengshi said.

"I don't know about this either. Wait a minute, I'll have someone call Director Yang and Deputy Director He who is in charge of replicating trucks. They should know more about it." Gao Hongwei then said to the people around him, "Xiao Liu, call Director Yang and Deputy Director He over and tell them that Director Li from the Automobile Industry Bureau wants to learn something from them."

Liu Shizhen quickly ran to call Yang Zixing and He Yuzhu, and when Liu Shizhen came to He Yuzhu, panting, he said, "Deputy Director He, Secretary Gao asked you and Director Yang to come over. Director Li of the Automobile Industry Bureau has some questions for you."

"Okay, I understand. You go back and report to Secretary Gao first. I'll go call Director Yang. Director Yang and I'll go over together later."

Liu Shizhen then turned around and rushed to Gao Hongwei, while He Yuzhu came to Director Yang and whispered to him, "Director Yang, Secretary Gao just sent someone to tell me that Director Li from the Automobile Industry Bureau wants to see you, and Secretary Gao asked us to go over there."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Director Yang whispered, "Okay, I understand." Then Director Yang said apologetically, "Dear experts, I'm really sorry. Director Li wants to see me for something. I have to go over there. Please sit down and rest for a while. I will entertain you later."

Then Director Yang and He Yuzhu came to the conference room of the machinery manufacturing plant together. When they were about to reach the door of the conference room, He Yuzhu took two quick steps and opened the door of the conference room first, "Director Li, Secretary Gao, Director Yang is here."

After Director Yang entered the meeting room, Director Li and Secretary Gao stood up and greeted Director Yang. After the three of them sat down, He Yuzhu also sat down. Gao Hongwei pointed at He Yuzhu and said, "Director Li, this is Deputy Director He of our steel rolling mill. He is also the director of the machinery manufacturing plant. He was the first to propose the imitation of Dodge trucks."

"I didn't expect that Deputy Director He is so young. He is really a hero in his youth." Li Fengshi sighed when he saw that He Yuzhu was so young. He Yuzhu smiled in response to Li Fengshi. Gao Hongwei continued, "Deputy Director He, I asked you to come because Director Li wants to know about the imitation of Dodge trucks. If it is convenient, it would be best to take Director Li to visit the prototype we produced."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's heart moved, and he immediately stood up and replied with a smile: "Of course! Director Li, I would be happy to introduce you to the progress of our imitation work and take you to visit the sample car. Please follow me." As he said that, he politely extended his hand to Li Fengshi and led him out of the meeting room.

The group came to the workshop, and He Yuzhu led them to a truck parked there. The truck looked brand new and exuded an industrial atmosphere. He Yuzhu proudly pointed at the truck and said, "This is the prototype of the Dodge truck we copied. We named it the Red Star truck. It has completed preliminary tests and can run normally, but it still needs further optimization and improvement."

Li Fengshi walked around the truck, carefully observing every detail, and then nodded in satisfaction: "It looks very good, your factory did a good job. However, I also have some questions, such as how is the performance of the engine? How much load can it carry?"

He Yuzhu replied with a smile: "Director Li, we have put a lot of effort into the performance of the engine! With the great assistance of teachers and students from Sijiucheng University of Technology, after repeated tests and improvements, we have successfully copied a product that is almost identical to the original imported engine on Dodge trucks. Not only that, considering the actual situation of domestic gasoline quality, we have also made special adjustments and optimizations to the engine to make it more suitable for domestic oil products. In this way, our engine not only has excellent performance, but also can better meet the actual usage requirements of users."

Hearing this, Li Fengshi could not help but nod slightly in approval. He Yuzhu continued, "In terms of load-bearing capacity, we have also carefully designed and optimized it. By adjusting the rear axle structure and using high-strength steel to manufacture the body, we have successfully reduced the vehicle's empty weight by 300 kg to 4195 kg, while increasing the load by nearly 800 kg, allowing the truck to reach a load capacity of 5500 kg, and a maximum trailer weight of 8500 kg. In addition, the vehicle's fuel consumption per 24 kilometers is only 70 liters, and the maximum speed can reach kilometers per hour."

Li Fengshi listened carefully to He Yuzhu's report and smiled with satisfaction. He then asked: "The performance of this truck is indeed very good, and it can be said to have reached the level of a medium-sized truck. So, do you have a specific plan? When do you plan to apply for national evaluation and appraisal? There is a huge demand for medium-sized trucks in China at present."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied, "We are currently doing the final test. Once the final test is completed, we will immediately apply to the First Industrial Machinery Department for evaluation and appraisal. If everything goes well, we will apply to the department by the end of this month at the earliest."

Li Fengshi smiled and said, "Okay, I will follow the progress of this project and try my best to provide necessary support. I hope you can continue to work hard to ensure that your Red Star Truck can complete the test as soon as possible and accept national evaluation and appraisal." After that, he took another look at the Red Star Truck, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

When Li Fengshi was leaving the Red Star Steel Mill with a group of experts from the Automobile Industry Bureau, he took Gao Hongwei's hand and said with emotion: "Lao Gao, I originally thought that you came to the Red Star Steel Mill to kill the last few years of your work. I didn't expect that your factory has such outstanding talents. It seems that you can't rest here. You have to continue to burn and make use of your remaining energy. Congratulations, Lao Gao." After that, Li Fengshi got in the car and left the Red Star Steel Mill.
