Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu followed Director Yang closely and came to Secretary Gao's spacious and solemn office. When they stepped into this majestic room, an atmosphere of tension and expectation spread.

As soon as he entered the office, Director Yang's originally serious face was instantly filled with an irrepressible excitement. He couldn't wait to say, "Secretary Gao! Do you know? This time, the subordinate machinery manufacturing plant has made another earth-shattering news!"

When Secretary Gao heard this, a strong curiosity immediately emerged on his face, and he asked eagerly: "Oh? What kind of big fuss has happened in the machinery manufacturing plant? Tell me quickly!"

Director Yang could not hide his joy, and replied with his voice slightly raised by eight degrees: "Hey, Secretary Gao, our machinery manufacturing plant has successfully manufactured a car! This is incredible!"

Hearing this, Secretary Gao couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He took a deep breath, and then slowly sighed: "Oh, this deputy factory director He is really a rare genius! You know, the machinery manufacturing plant under our factory is not a professional automobile manufacturer, but it can develop and produce three different types of automobile products at one go. Back then, in March 1957, Minister Huang of the First Industrial Machinery Department personally went to the Northeast Automobile Factory to inspect and guide the work, and clearly put forward three important tasks to them: first, the load-bearing vehicles must be modified and upgraded; second, the off-road vehicle project must be launched as soon as possible; third, it is necessary to make every effort to overcome the difficulties in the development of small cars. However, to this day, the Northeast Automobile Factory has only completed the two tasks of load-bearing vehicles and small cars. As for the mass production of off-road vehicles, it has not yet been properly solved." After saying this, Secretary Gao couldn't help shaking his head, as if he was extremely pleased and proud of the achievements in front of him.

"Secretary Gao, you think too highly of me. It's not that I'm great, but that we started research and development earlier. The Northeast Automobile Factory's research and development capabilities are much stronger than ours, but they started researching cars in a hurry. Our factory started in 1956, and after so many years of dedicated research, we have fully mastered the technology of Dodge trucks. In addition, our factory has been producing off-road vehicles for so long, so we were able to research cars so quickly." He Yuzhu said modestly.

"Deputy Director He, since the sedan has been successfully developed, do we need to apply for an appraisal from the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Ministry of Industrial Machinery?" Secretary Gao asked.

"Secretary Gao, you are right. Only after passing the national appraisal can it be officially put into production." He Yuzhu nodded and replied.

"In that case, leave the contact with the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Ministry of Industrial Machinery to me. I'll call Director Li right away." Secretary Gao said with a smile. After that, Secretary Gao picked up the phone and asked the operator to connect to Director Li Fengshi of the Automobile Industry Bureau.

"Hello, is this Lao Li? I'm Gao Hongwei."

"Lao Gao, I haven't answered your call for a while. Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" Li Fengshi's familiar and kind voice came from the phone.

"Director Li is so busy every day, how can I disturb him so easily? I have something else to trouble Director Li with!" Secretary Gao greeted Li Fengshi.

"What's the matter? It can't be that your factory has developed a new car?" Li Fengshi asked with a smile.

"Director Li is right. Our factory has really developed a car, and it is a sedan. So I implore Director Li to arrange for some people to come to our factory to appraise the vehicle. Once it passes your appraisal, our factory can start production as soon as possible."

"What, your factory has produced a new car, and it's a sedan! I will personally bring people to your factory to organize an appraisal..." Li Fengshi said excitedly on the phone.

After Secretary Gao slowly put down the slightly old phone in his hand, his face was filled with a bright and gratified smile, and he said softly: "Haha, it's settled now! I just talked to Director Li of the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Industrial Machinery Department. It's really unexpected that his reaction after hearing about this was even more excited than mine! Look, just after I finished speaking, he couldn't wait to lead the team to our factory to preside over the appraisal of the car. Oh, by the way, Deputy Director He, have you thought of a resounding name for this car that has been successfully produced this time?"

Facing Secretary Gao's inquiring look, He Yuzhu smiled modestly and replied, "For now, the name...has not been finalized yet. However, we have set a temporary number for it first. According to the order followed in previous naming, the specific model of this car is designated as CB-03. To be honest, I'm not very good at naming. So, regarding the important matter of officially naming this car, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on the two leaders to take the trouble." At this point, He Yuzhu bowed slightly to express his respect and trust to Secretary Gao and Director Yang.

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Secretary Gao turned his gaze to Director Yang who had been silent beside him, and asked with some expectation: "Old Yang, in your opinion, what name should we give this car?"

However, what surprised Secretary Gao was that Director Yang, who was always quick-witted and full of ideas, shook his head slightly, saying that he couldn't come up with a particularly satisfactory name at the moment. Director Yang frowned slightly, thought for a while, and responded in a sincere tone: "Oh, Secretary Gao, you really stumped me! When it comes to naming, my mind is blank! How about this, let you, the head of the family, make the final decision." After saying that, Director Yang smiled bitterly, as if he felt a little guilty for not being able to give an appropriate suggestion.

Secretary Gao pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Since the trucks and off-road vehicles produced by our factory before were all called Red Star, let's call this car Red Star. This way it can be consistent with the previous two models. Secondly, people will know it is produced by our factory. What do you think, Director Yang?"

"Secretary Gao, your idea is absolutely brilliant! If we give it another name, others will certainly wonder when they mention it: Which factory does this car come from? But if it is called 'Red Star', then there is no doubt that people will immediately think of it as having the same origin as the Red Star truck and the Red Star SUV!" After carefully thinking about what Secretary Gao said, Director Yang slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly.

"Secretary Gao is truly extremely wise!" Upon seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly echoed.

"Since both of you have no objection, then let's finalize this matter. The car manufactured by our Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant will be named Red Star Car." Secretary Gao said with a smile, then turned to look at He Yuzhu and instructed, "Deputy Director He, you must carefully prepare for the reception of the comrades from the Automobile Industry Bureau in the future. You must strive to pass the appraisal of the Automobile Industry Bureau in one go."

"Please rest assured, both leaders. Our machinery manufacturing plant is full of confidence and firmly believes that we can pass the evaluation and appraisal of the expert group led by Director Li in one fell swoop." He Yuzhu's face was full of confidence and he responded in a firm tone.

The result is self-evident. The Red Star CB-03 car produced by the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant passed the evaluation and appraisal of the Automobile Industry Bureau smoothly. At the same time, in view of the excellent performance and good comfort of the CB-03 car, Director Li of the Automobile Industry Bureau announced on the spot that the Red Star car will be the car for cadres at the department level and above. At the same time, he asked the Red Star Steel Plant to make persistent efforts and strive to develop cars with better performance to meet the needs of higher-level leaders.

After Li Fengshi returned to the First Ministry of Industrial Machinery, he reported to Minister Zhao of the First Ministry of Industrial Machinery on the development of the Red Star brand sedan by the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. After a meeting and research, the First Ministry of Industrial Machinery considered that the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant was already at full capacity producing off-road vehicles and trucks, and the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory had not yet produced a qualified car. Therefore, it decided to merge the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory into the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, with the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant being responsible for its leadership and management.
