Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After looking at the heavy trucks, He Yuzhu said to Ding Xiaowei: "Deputy Section Chief Ding, I understand the situation of the heavy trucks. Now let's talk about how the task of the luxury cars is going?"

Ding Xiaowei quickly replied, "Director He, the development of the luxury sedan is going smoothly. The sedan's exterior, body, chassis, engine and automatic transmission have all been developed and tested. Once the interior is finalized, the vehicle can be delivered at any time."

He was very surprised to hear this. He originally thought that the development of luxury cars would encounter some difficulties, but he did not expect the progress to be so rapid. He asked curiously: "What is the reason that affects the determination of the interior?"

Ding Xiaowei explained: "The problem with interior decoration now is that we are not sure what to use to make the car more luxurious. We need to consider the feelings of the passengers and the possibility of subsequent small-scale production."

He Yuzhu nodded to show his understanding. Then he asked, "Where is the prototype car?"

Ding Xiaowei replied: "In order to maintain confidentiality, the developed prototype is currently parked in the final assembly workshop."

He Yuzhu was moved after hearing this. He wanted to see these prototypes in person to better understand their performance and characteristics. So he said, "Then I'll go and see what the actual finished vehicles look like!" After that, he walked towards the final assembly workshop.

Ding Xiaowei brought He Yuzhu to a separate production workshop in the final assembly workshop. Looking at the black sedan parked in the corner, He Yuzhu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. The most intuitive feeling from the appearance is that this car is very atmospheric, with the chrome grille on the front face and the big round headlights on both sides, giving a heavy and steady feeling.

Ding Xiaowei explained: "Director He, in order to maximize the interior space of this car and ensure the comfort of the passengers, the length of this car is 5400mm, the width is 2000mm, the height is 1600mm, the wheelbase is 3200mm, and the total weight is 2345kg..."

After listening to Ding Xiaowei's words, He Yuzhu opened the car door and looked at the layout of the seats. He pointed to the raised area in the middle of the back row and said, "With this area, the person sitting in the middle of the back row will not be very comfortable. Instead of making it awkward, it is better not to design a seat at all. Change the three-seat back row to a two-seat one, and change the original position for people to a central armrest. This will ensure that the back row passengers are more comfortable and can also make it convenient for them to drink water or smoke."

"Okay, I've got it in mind. I'll arrange for workers to revise it right away." Ding Xiaowei said hurriedly.

"Deputy Section Chief Ding, can you tell me about your existing interior design plans?"

"There are three options available now. The first option is to use wood and ivory as raw materials; the second is to use ceramic materials; and the last one is to use genuine leather materials." Ding Xiaowei replied quickly.

"Let's look at the first option first. If we decide to use ivory, we have to order it from abroad, which is not an easy thing to do, so this option may not be feasible. Then look at the second option. Although ceramics look beautiful, they will feel too cold to touch in winter, which is also a problem. As for the last option, although the leather wrapping can provide a certain texture, it is relatively simple and may not meet our pursuit of high-end feeling."

"Deputy Section Chief Ding, I have an idea. What do you think about changing the operating table panel to solid wood? For example, we can use walnut wood, cross it across the entire operating table, and decorate the middle part with a pattern of inlaid mother-of-pearl craftsmanship. Not only that, even the door handles and armrests in the back row can be wrapped with walnut wood. In this way, will the overall visual effect be more majestic? At the same time, walnut wood feels warm and comfortable, and compared with cold metal, it can give people a warmer feeling."

After listening to He Yuzhu's suggestion, Ding Xiaowei's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Director He, your suggestion is very good. It is cheaper than using ivory and is as beautiful as ivory. Moreover, the mother-of-pearl craftsmanship can fully demonstrate the profound historical heritage of our country." His face was filled with excitement and anticipation, as if he had seen the dawn of success.

"Deputy Section Chief Ding, don't be so excited. This is just a suggestion. Whether it will work or not can only be determined after the actual product is made." He Yuzhu said with a smile, with a hint of humility and caution in his tone.

"I'll find someone to design it right away. Once the plan is ready, we'll produce one and install it on the car. Then we'll know the actual effect." Ding Xiaowei said impatiently, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Then you can quickly arrange for someone to design it, but stay with me. I'll go to the workshop for a look." He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, encouraging Ding Xiaowei to go ahead and do it. He understood Ding Xiaowei's work enthusiasm and sense of responsibility, and believed that he would be able to do this well.

"Then I'll get busy first. Director He, please take your time to look at it." After saying that, Ding Xiaowei left in a hurry, his steps brisk and powerful.

Watching Ding Xiaowei leave, He Yuzhu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He knew that a good team needs such proactive and innovative members, whose efforts and wisdom will drive the factory forward. He Yuzhu decided to continue walking around the workshop to learn about other aspects.

He Yuzhu walked into several of the workshops, carefully observing every corner to make sure everything was the same as when he went south to Lingnan Province. Then, he turned and headed for the steelmaking workshop. Compared with the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, although he was also in charge of the steelmaking workshop, Director Yang would ask about the production status of the steelmaking workshop from time to time during daily work. Therefore, when He Yuzhu returned from his business trip, he did not rush to deal with the affairs of the steelmaking workshop, but went to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant first.

When He Yuzhu finished inspecting the four blast furnaces and returned to his office at the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, he gently picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of the machinery manufacturing plant's office: "Hello, this is He Yuzhu. Please ask Director Liu to bring all the documents that need my signature to my office." After that, he slowly put down the phone.

Not long after, Liu Weijie knocked on the door of He Yuzhu's office with a stack of documents in his arms and said softly, "Director He, I'm here."

"Come in, Director Liu," He Yuzhu said without raising his head. He was seriously writing a plan for supplying water to the Xiangjiang River, so he only glanced at the person who walked in.

Liu Weijie walked gently to He Yuzhu's desk and carefully put down the documents in his arms. He said softly, "Director He, these are the documents you need to sign during your business trip."

He Yuzhu continued to work with his head down, and just casually replied: "Okay, you can leave it here first, I will deal with it later. If you have any questions or unclear points, I will ask you to come over to find out."

Liu Weijie nodded and asked: "Okay, Director He."

"By the way, are there any particularly urgent or important documents here that need to be handled first?" He Yuzhu pointed at the documents beside him with his pen and asked.

Liu Weijie quickly replied: "No, these are documents related to the daily affairs of the factory. There is nothing urgent or important."

He Yuzhu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, did anyone call me when I was away?"

Liu Weijie quickly replied: "Yes, Director He. During the time you were on a business trip, several people did call. I have made a detailed record of their names, contact information and the content of the calls, and compiled them into a list. The list is now on your desk. If you need further information, please feel free to check it. However, in my judgment, these calls did not involve particularly urgent or important matters." As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from the folder and placed it on He Yuzhu's desk.

He Yuzhu picked up the call log made by Liu Weijie and looked at it. It showed three missed calls, from Brother Li Ze, Minister Wu and Lin Qi. Brother Li Ze and Minister Wu were both people he knew, and they must have wanted him to go to their homes to chat. After all, he used to visit the two leaders' homes once a month. This time he was on a business trip for a long time, and the two leaders must have called to ask why he didn't go, but Lin Qi made him feel unfamiliar. The list only said that this person called to visit him, so he pointed to Lin Qi's name and asked, "Director Liu, when this person named Lin Qi called me, did he say what he did?"

Liu Weijie recalled for a moment, then replied, "He said he had met you before at the First Industrial Machinery Department and called you because he wanted to visit you. I told him that you were on a business trip to Lingnan Province and that I would notify him when you came back."

He Yuzhu's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Lin Qi, who had met him once before. When they first met in the First Industrial Machinery Department, they had a wonderful fate. Now it seems that this fate is still continuing.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then I know who he is. Thank you, Director Liu." He Yuzhu said to Liu Weijie with a smile.

"You're welcome. This is my job. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Okay, Director Liu, you go back first. I'll call you if there's anything else."

After Liu Weijie left, He Yuzhu looked at the call log in his hand and couldn't help feeling a surge of anticipation in his heart. He felt that Lin Qi might bring some new opportunities and challenges to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant, and maybe become a breakthrough for the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant to open up the field of agricultural machinery.
