Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After seeing off Li Fengshi, director of the Automobile Industry Bureau, He Yuzhu came to Fan Youxiang's office and said, "Deputy Director Fan, please go to the Technical Department and notify all the automotive R&D personnel in the Technical Department to come to the conference room for a meeting."

"Okay, Director He, I'll go right away." Fan Youxiang quickly agreed.

He Yuzhu went back to the office, got his notebook and went straight to the meeting room. While waiting for the R&D personnel from the technical department to arrive, He Yuzhu planned the technical parameters of the luxury car on his notebook. Since it is a luxury car, the first point is that the space must be large so that it can be comfortable to sit in. In this way, the body length must be at least more than 5 meters, and the wheelbase should be more than 3 meters; the second point is that such a large body will require greater engine power, so a more powerful engine is needed, and the 6-cylinder gasoline engine on the Dodge truck can be used; the third point is that since it is a luxury car, the smoothness of gear shifting during driving must be considered, and this problem can be solved by imitating a 4-speed automatic transmission; the fourth point is that there must be on-board air conditioning to ensure a warm winter and cool summer riding experience; the fifth point is that the body chassis suspension shock absorption must be good; and the last point is that the exterior and interior of the car must look high-end and classy.

After writing down all the problems that needed to be solved, He Yuzhu looked at the problems he wrote down. The first four items were easy to solve, but the last two items were the most critical. For the exterior, he could refer to the later Red Flag H-nine, and for the interior, he could look for Old Wu, who had a braid facing the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He just didn't know if he was still alive. If he was, he could ask him for help. If he was dead, he could only seek help from the higher authorities. In this way, he only needed to organize technical personnel to work hard on the chassis problem. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu suddenly felt relieved.

At this time, Fan Youxiang pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in, followed by the automotive R&D personnel from the technical department. Fan Youxiang came to the left side of He Yuzhu, bent down and whispered, "Director He, all the automotive personnel from the technical department are here, you can start talking."

He Yuzhu then smiled and said, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and find a seat. What's going on? You were planning on having me stand in the meeting with you guys?"

After everyone sat down, He Yuzhu continued, "I asked Deputy Director Fan to call everyone here today because Director Li of the Automobile Industry Bureau of the First Industrial Machinery Department just informed me that our superiors have given our factory an arduous and glorious task, asking us to develop a car for ministerial-level cadres."

The automotive R&D personnel in the conference room immediately started talking excitedly. He Yuzhu motioned for everyone to be quiet. After the scene quieted down, He Yuzhu told all the participants the six ideas he had written down. After that, he asked, "These are my personal ideas. If you have any other ideas, please tell us."

"Director He, I feel that the six ideas you put forward are very comprehensive, but I would like to make a personal suggestion, which is that we should try to use our own elements when designing the exterior and interior of the car, so as to reflect the profound cultural heritage of our nation."

He Yuzhu said happily: "This suggestion is very good. Does anyone have any other suggestions?" After speaking, He Yuzhu glanced at everyone in the conference room and saw that no one wanted to speak. He continued: "Since no one wants to speak, I will assign tasks. I have a preliminary idea in my mind. After I draw the blueprint, I will give it to you. You can make a 1:1 clay model based on my drawing. Of course, if anyone of you has an idea, you can also make a clay model. Whichever one is better, you can make it. Once the exterior design is determined, we must immediately start the interior design. By the way, the second row of doors should not be made to open in the same direction, but to open in opposite directions, so that after the driver gets off the car and parks the car, it is more convenient to open the door for the leader. How is the test of the car air conditioning and automatic transmission going now?"

"The car air conditioner is nearing completion. Once the testing is completed, it can be put into production immediately." The technician in charge of testing the car air conditioner replied.

"The automatic transmission is still undergoing further testing, but judging from the current test results, our imitated automatic transmission should be able to pass all tests smoothly." Another technician responsible for testing the automatic transmission replied.

"Since there are no problems with these two, let's focus on the research and development of the chassis and strive to master the chassis shock absorption technology as soon as possible. Let's stop here for today's meeting for now. Except for Deputy Director Fan, everyone else can go back to work."

After everyone had left, He Yuzhu said to Fan Youxiang, "Deputy Director Fan, after the car air conditioner passes the test, remember to send a telegram to my father-in-law in Hong Kong, telling him that we have solved the technical problems of the car air conditioner. The cars sold before can be equipped with car air conditioner accessories separately, and the cars produced in the future can freely choose whether to install air conditioners. After notifying my father-in-law, don't forget to tell the Ministry of Foreign Trade. They will make the final decision on the quotation."

Fan Youxiang took a pen and wrote down what He Yuzhu had said. Just as he was about to ask He Yuzhu if he had finished, He Yuzhu said, "Oh, there is one more thing. The First Industrial Machinery Department has transferred the car R&D personnel from the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant in Northeast China to our factory. After these people arrive at our factory, you will be responsible for arranging their accommodation."

"Okay, I will arrange their accommodation when they arrive at our factory. Director He, all the car R&D personnel from the First Automobile Works in Northeast China have been transferred to our factory, so how will they produce cars in the future?" Fan Youxiang asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"From what Director Li said, the First Automobile Works in Northeast China will focus all its efforts on producing trucks and will no longer produce cars."

"Director He, do you have anything else to tell me?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Deputy Director Fan, how is the Shunyi production base going these days (from now on, the Sijiucheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant will be collectively referred to as the Shunyi production base), is production going smoothly?"

"Everything is going smoothly at the Shunyi production base. I spoke to Director Feng over the phone today. They are currently expanding the new production workshop while producing. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner as planned!"

"That's fine. That's all for now. Deputy Director Fan, go and get busy." After saying that, He Yuzhu stood up from his chair and walked out of the meeting room.
