Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Xie Yuanchang did not evade the question at all and spoke very frankly about his true feelings.

As he spoke, he stroked the seat a few times, his eyes revealing admiration and envy. "The fact that your research institute was able to successfully manufacture a car last time already gave the Machinery Department and the higher authorities a big surprise, but I didn't expect that there would be an even bigger surprise! No wonder you insisted on having me ride in the same car with you, it turns out you had an ulterior motive!"

Xie Yuanchang's words were sincere and came from the bottom of his heart. After all, in his personal experience, this modified vehicle is undoubtedly more in line with the actual road conditions and usage environment in China.

"If you like, I can help you modify a few when I get back. What do you think?"

Hearing Xie Yuanchang's high evaluation, Zhou Tian felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he carried out a series of optimization and modifications on the Jeep, which greatly improved its comfort, and even boldly abandoned the traditional in-line engine in the power system in favor of a more advanced four-cylinder air-conditioned engine, in this era that emphasizes hardship and simplicity and opposes extravagance and enjoyment, this pursuit of personal comfort and enjoyment may, to some extent, be criticized and condemned by others.

This is also the case even if the car was originally allocated to him by his superiors.

"Okay, but the number of modifications should be limited to ten. Any more might have some adverse effects!"

Xie Yuanchang did not object to Zhou Tian's proposal.

In fact, he did have such thoughts and plans in his mind just now.

As for asking Zhou Tian to modify ten vehicles, he did not ask for it for his own personal gain, but hoped that through these modified vehicles, he could demonstrate the institute's outstanding technical strength and innovation capabilities to the higher authorities, so as to win more honors and support for the institute.

In fact, after the research institute built the car last time, he handed the car over to the superior department as soon as possible. Otherwise, did he really think that the higher-ups would so easily agree to research and set up a car factory?

As a member of an organization, although he has his own selfish desires, he is more aware of his responsibilities and mission, and knows clearly what he can do and what he absolutely cannot do.

Although in terms of job level, he is the superior of the entire institute and even Zhou Tian, ​​but in the eyes of the superiors, Zhou Tian's outstanding talents and great contributions undoubtedly make his status far higher than their own.

Regarding this, he has a very clear self-awareness and profound self-knowledge.

After all, compared with Zhou Tian's series of remarkable achievements and performances, let alone that he just modified a car, even if he put forward some more stringent requirements, as long as it did not touch the bottom line of damaging national interests and selling out the country for personal gain, his position in the leader's heart would not be shaken in the slightest because of these trivial matters.

While the two were talking, three cars soon arrived at the suburbs of Wanping.

When the vehicle slowly drove into the suburbs, Xie Yuanchang's eyes widened instantly and an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face.

The originally deserted and dead land is now full of houses and bustling. On the streets outside, people are coming and going, and the prosperous and lively scene is no less than that of the old city.

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of public service facilities such as the post office, grain bureau, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants, as well as bookstores, barber shops and other shops related to people's daily consumption. It can be said that there is everything you need.

It was not until the car drove out of this bustling and lively street that looked like a small town that Xie Yuanchang felt his vision suddenly become wider.

He saw tall buildings rising from the ground. Although they were still a little behind those in foreign countries, they did not seem big at all to him. Their beautiful exterior design and the surrounding walls gave him the illusion that he was walking in a modern and prosperous town abroad.

“Is that the family housing you built?”

Xie Yuanchang pointed at the towering skyscrapers and asked with a hint of irrepressible excitement in his voice.

"Yes, Minister, what do you think?"

Zhou Tian keenly noticed the excitement in Xie Yuanchang's words, and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He wasn't quite sure why he was so excited, so he subconsciously asked back.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xie Yuanchang's voice trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but say "good" three times in succession. He stretched out his hands and held Zhou Tian's hands tightly, his eyes sparkling with crystal light: "Xiaotian, do you know? When I was studying abroad, I saw those high-rise buildings in foreign countries, and compared them with the development status of our country at that time. I don't know how frustrated and lost I was. I even doubted whether our country would be able to have such magnificent high-rise buildings one day.

But now, your actions have given me hope and the dawn of our country's future development!"

His words were so true, and Zhou Tian could clearly feel the trembling in his voice when he spoke.

"Minister, don't worry. I believe that our country's development will definitely be better than that of foreign countries in the future!"

When Zhou Tian saw Xie Yuanchang’s excited behavior, he suddenly became serious and spoke in a firm tone.

At the same time, the slight grudge he had against Xie Yuanchang suddenly disappeared without a trace.

In any case, Xie Yuanchang's performance now clearly demonstrated the responsibility and commitment that a member of an organization should have. He could not dislike such a person anyway. Compared with the cadres in the previous life, it must be said that the cadres of this era have a stronger sense of mission.

After the grudges in their hearts were resolved, the conversation between the two became more pleasant and harmonious.

In a blink of an eye, three cars stopped directly in front of the car factory. Before getting out of the car, Zhou Tian looked at the huge building in front of him, which was almost as large as four branch factories, and a surge of ambition suddenly surged in his heart.

This is another powerful "trump card" for him to layout the overseas market. Just looking at the large area of ​​the automobile factory, he can imagine how spectacular the scene will be when all the workers are present.

At this time, in front of the factory gate, District Chief Ouyang and Secretary Wen were already waiting there, and there were even a lot of reporters gathered around. When Zhou Tian saw this scene, he stopped in his tracks as he was about to get off the car.

"What's wrong? Is Xiaotian scared?" Xie Yuanchang naturally noticed Zhou Tian's actions. When he heard him ask this, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He knew that although this young man was young, for some reason he was very low-key in his actions.

In fact, based on the achievements he has made, he should have been famous all over the world long ago, but this guy has never accepted any interviews from reporters.

This is why, even though the machine tools and mechanical equipment he invented greatly improved the domestic industrial level, people still know nothing about the inventor of these machine tools and mechanical equipment.

Even some other scientific researchers have only heard of him but never seen him.
