Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

“So how does it work when we go to Hong Kong Island?

None of us understands!"

Director Jiang listened to Fang Xiang carefully, thought for a moment, and agreed with Fang Xiang's idea.

But at the end, opening my hands raised another question.

"I..."

Fang Xiang was about to say, "I understand," but when the words came to his lips, he stopped.

He dared to say and do what he just said and did.

But at this moment, he really didn't believe that Hong Kong Island would let him go.

"you?

Do you want to go?

Director Jiang gave a meaningful smile, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Fang Xiang took it silently, moved closer to the match that Director Jiang had struck, and looked at the dancing flame.

Light the cigarette butt.

He took a deep breath of the slightly sweet tobacco and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

“Professional matters should be left to professionals.

You are a professional when you do design. This is the consensus of everyone.”

Director Jiang only said half of what he was going to say.

Fang wanted to continue to remain silent.

Just like the public servants in later generations, their passports had to be handed in.

He is now a registered person, although Hong Kong Island is not considered a foreign country.

But from Hong Kong Island, it is convenient to go anywhere.

Fang Xiang was very skeptical if he expressed his desire to go to Hong Kong Island today.

He will be under surveillance before tomorrow.

"As for trade, I do know a colleague from the First Ministry of Machine Building. Like me, his last name is Jiang. He now works in the Romanian Embassy.

I am in charge of trade. Before you came, I made a special phone call to ask about it.

He said your idea is very good, Romania's economy has been on the rise for several years now.

When the country is prosperous, the people are also prosperous.

The whole country has a strong desire to consume.

Just as washing machines and refrigerators are becoming popular in households, many small cars are also enjoying good sales in Romania.

Are you interested in going to see it?"

Director Jiang put down the teacup and cigarette in his hand, and looked at Fang Xiang again with a meaningful look.

"Me? To Romania?"

Fang Xiang was a little stunned. Is this what you should say?

Speaking of which, Director Jiang is the director of a core department of the First Ministry of Machine Building and a serious department-level cadre.

In this era, he did not have the ability and strength to organize an overseas inspection.

But the Ministry of First Machine Building can have it.

But Fang Xiang now belongs neither to the First Ministry of Machine Building nor to Luoqi.

He belongs to the Academy of Sciences.

Can this be mixed together?

Moreover, if it is difficult to get to Hong Kong Island, how can it be easy to get to Romania, which is even farther away?

“Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.

The car you built is admired by everyone in the Ministry of Machine Building.

These days, you have been staying at home and may not know that BAIC has become a popular place.

From various ministries, any department you can think of or cannot think of, a large number of cadres are going to visit your cars.

There are also many people who drive with a driver.

Many senior officials have asked me whether it is possible to purchase a batch of vehicles for departmental use.

No one cares about the SH760 that was originally planned. "

Director Jiang picked up the cigarette and while smoking it, he started talking about something Fang Xiang didn't know.

“As for the Hongqi, I don’t have the qualifications, and as for the SH760, I don’t even want it now.

But your BMW not only has a good name, but the car is also beautifully made.

Regardless of whether it can be sold abroad, at least I think you don’t have to worry about it domestically.”

Director Jiang flicked the ash from his cigarette, his eyes full of admiration.

“The ones you’re looking at are all 320, right?

Is 115 not popular? "

Fang Xiang smiled and asked.

"Hey! Don't underestimate that 115!

Many grassroots departments like it very much!

Especially the public security department.

They proposed to purchase a batch.

As for the 320, everyone can tell at a glance that this car is not cheap.

Only some departments that have enough budget and need a storefront can appreciate it and afford it.

Most small units still like the 115 one.

How can I put it about Jeeps? They are not suitable for everyone, but the 115 is very suitable for those grassroots units. "

Director Jiang smiled and waved his hands, denying Fang Xiang's statement.

These words surprised Fang Xiang.

He thought that just like in later generations, everyone liked big cars.

I didn’t expect that 115 would be so popular.

"So, to Romania?"

Fang Xiang nodded. It seemed that this era was indeed very different from later times.

So I was too lazy to ask again and changed the subject.

“Take a closer look at what the European people want.

There are also products from European car companies.

You don’t understand the needs of your opponents and your people.

How can we build a car they like?"

Director Jiang’s meaning is so simple and straightforward.

“Actually, compared to going to Romania, I would rather visit Hong Kong Island.

There are also those cars in Hong Kong Island, and the distance is closer.

Moreover, it can also build a trade network."

Fang Xiang felt a little sad. Going abroad might not necessarily be better than being in China now.

I'm just afraid not to let him go.

"Then go ahead. It's just a matter of applying."

Director Jiang put out his cigarette and said something casually.

"You must be kidding. I can go to Hong Kong Island whenever I want?"

Fang Xiang smiled, took the last puff of the cigarette in his hand, and put it out in the ashtray.

He picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.

"What do you mean, is there anyone restricting you?"

Director Jiang picked up the thermos and refilled the two people's teacups with water.

A curious expression appeared on his face.

"No, my identity is a bit sensitive.

I can’t even think about leaving the country.”

Fang Xiang looked at the filled tea cup and knocked on the table.

"Is there such a thing? What's so sensitive about your identity?"

Director Jiang looked puzzled.

"I have come into contact with a lot of confidential information and participated in many cutting-edge projects.

Isn’t that sensitive?”

Fang Xiang was amused. Was Director Jiang trying to fool him?

"That being said, the more you are like this, the more you should go out and take a look.

Get more exposure to the outside world.

Just like reading, the more books you read, the less you realize you know.

Our country has always encouraged scientific researchers to study abroad, right?!"

Director Jiang didn't seem to agree with Fang Xiang's statement.

Instead, he said something that Fang Xiang didn't know.

"But don't many big guys stay in the country?"

Fang thought of the many big names in the scientific community who had never been abroad in their entire lives.

“That’s because they don’t want to, and they are busy with many projects and work and can’t spare the time.

You should know that our country officially organizes many overseas programs every year.

There are many experts in various fields.

If we follow your advice, who will check for us?"

Director Jiang laughed, thinking Fang Xiang had some misunderstanding.

"this..."

Fang Xiang was stunned. This was completely different from what he knew.

Shouldn't scientists working on high-tech projects be strictly protected?

Shouldn’t their passports be confiscated and they be strictly prohibited from leaving the country?

Why does Director Jiang mean that you can go when you want to and come back when you want to, and it's very free?

“International exchanges in technology have never stopped since the founding of the country.

Some people who are older and have higher seniority are unwilling to make trouble and don't want to go out.

The country encourages young people like you to go out and see the world.

Learn more about the advanced experience of the West and then use it to promote domestic development.

This is also one of the approaches we have been taking for many years.

This has always included inviting foreign experts to give lectures and lead projects in China.

It’s just that the country has never publicized it.

So, I can understand that you think Romania is too far and don’t want to go there.

Hong Kong Island is so close, if you want to go there, it’s very easy.

It's nothing more than making an application.

If any department organizes a trip in the near future, you can just join the group.

If not, you can go by yourself. It’s not impossible. We have organizations in Hong Kong Island that can receive you.”

Director Jiang blew away the foam on the teacup and took a sip.

He said something that Fang Xiang had never understood.

It turns out that going to Hong Kong Island is such an easy thing?

Could it be that I was thinking wrongly before?

No, I have to ask Professor Xu.
