puff!
Huo Qingyun, the director of Chuncheng First Automobile Manufacturing Plant, couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Huowang say such an exaggerated statement.
"What? Director Huo, do you think I'm kidding you?"
Lin Huowang frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he felt it was understandable.
After all, it was the late 1970s, and the reform and opening up had not even begun, but he made such a boast that he would make a lot of money from the Japanese. It would be a problem if anyone believed him.
"Comrade Lin Huowang, you are still young and you don't know much about Japan. But let me tell you one thing!"
Director Huo still attached great importance to Lin Huowang, the provincial advanced individual, so he explained to him in a low voice, "Our Chuncheng First Automobile Manufacturing Plant is considered the largest automobile manufacturing company in the country.
However, in the Japanese delegation sitting in the two rows above us, there is Kentaro Suzuki, whose company, Toyota, is one of the world's leading automobile giants.
The number of cars they produce in a day may be more than we produce in a year.
Look at our country, how many ordinary people can afford a private car?
Please note that I am talking about private cars. As the director of the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant in Chuncheng, my salary is already high enough, and my position is beyond the reach of ordinary people, right?
But all my lifetime wages combined might only be enough to buy me a Hongqi car.
But in Japan, an ordinary person can save enough money by working hard for a year to buy a used car.
If you want a new car or a luxury car, you can apply for a loan with one year's salary and pay it back slowly over time.
Comrade Lin Huowang, I am not saying this to attack you.
It is to make you see the reality clearly. Japan is much more developed and prosperous than us.
During this friendly exchange between China and Japan, our factory had to rush to give money to Toyota Motor, begging them to sell us the more advanced engine production technology.
But even so, there is money to be made, but they still ignore us and don’t want to sell to us at all!
Not to mention, our entire Chuncheng First Automobile Manufacturing Plant, after much thought, there is nothing worthy of the Japanese buying. It is difficult to earn even one yen from the Japanese!
Now you tell me... you want to make a lot of money from the Japanese?
The laughter I just heard was not at your youthful ignorance, nor was it at your youthful arrogance.
On the contrary, I believe that all young people in China should have the same ambition as you, to earn money from foreigners and create wealth for the country.
I am only laughing at my own uselessness! I am laughing at the uselessness of us, the older generation of industrialists!
I have worked hard on the production line all my life, but instead of laying a foundation for advanced industrial advantages for you, the younger generation, I have created such a mess.
I know that in the future there will definitely be countless young people like you who are full of enthusiasm and passion and want to make money from the Japanese.
But when they turned around, they found that our country's most developed automobile industry was not even as good as the technology that Japan eliminated 20 or 30 years ago.
Hey! Comrade Lin Huowang, do you think this is ridiculous? "
These words, which were both self-deprecating, self-reflective and self-blaming, also silenced Lin Huowang.
yes!
It has been nearly 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and a complete industrial system has been built from a land of industrial ruins.
In fact, we are already awesome enough. The two generations of industrial pioneers and scientists who have come one after another have paid with their youth and passion.
However, there is still at least 20 to 30 years of gap between us and the developed world level.
Is this their fault?
How could this be their fault?
They have tried their best to catch up and shorten the distance as much as possible.
We, the younger generation, should not complain, nor should we be disappointed. What we should do most is... take over the baton from our predecessors and continue to pursue our goal.
I think of the future when we became the only industrial power in the world with a complete range of industries, and every industry was among the best in the world.
Lin Huowang was really deeply touched. He did not give Director Huo too much complicated explanation, but pleaded again: "Director Huo, I understand what you said. But please give me a chance. I can use my reputation as a provincial advanced individual as a guarantee. As long as I can talk to Mr. Lin Tongchun in detail, I can make a lot of money from the Japanese."
"Are you sure about this?"
Director Huo originally thought that by saying so many heartfelt words, he could temporarily make Lin Huowang give up these unrealistic fantasies without hurting his self-esteem.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Huowang still insisted on having a private meeting with Lin Tongchun, the leader of the Chinese business community in Japan.
"I'm sure! I hope you can give me this chance."
Lin Huowang nodded very seriously.
"I really can't make the decision on this matter. You don't have the corresponding position or legitimate reason to communicate with foreign businessmen.
How about this! I will ask Mr. Lin Tongchun first. If he is willing to see you, I will call the provincial government for instructions.
Don't be surprised. Although there are fewer spies now, there are still some. I have to report to the provincial government."
Director Huo made concessions and was willing to give Lin Huowang a chance.
Lin Huowang immediately thanked him: "Sure! Thank you for your hard work, Director Huo."
…
On the other side, inside the Red Star Commune compound.
Guo Linxian, who rushed over from Shanghai, walked into the office of the commune secretary Liu Qisheng with a letter of introduction, looking exhausted.
"Guo... Director Guo, hello! Hello! Really. What brings you here? I have heard of General Liu for a long time. How is his health after his rehabilitation?"
When Secretary Liu saw the letter of introduction and the visitor, he was so excited.
After all, Liu Guopeng's reputation was quite loud in the Northeast. He had followed Marshal Lin's Fourth Field Army to fight in Jinzhou.
Guo Linxian had no intention of hiding her identity this time. Her purpose was to increase her influence so that some of the commune directors or secretaries below would not ignore her.
"Hello, Secretary Liu. I would like to ask, my daughter Liu Rumeng's return order has been sent to me a long time ago. Why hasn't she returned to Shanghai yet?
I waited for her in Shanghai for a long time, but she didn't come back. So I was anxious for a while. My company happened to have a business trip to Jilin Province, so I came to see her and wanted to take my daughter back. "
Guo Linxian didn't waste any words and directly stated her purpose.
Secretary Liu was immediately shocked and immediately called the director of the Youth Office over and asked, "Old Zhou, can you check whether Director Guo's daughter Liu Rumeng has come to handle the procedures for returning to the city? According to what Director Guo said, she should have received the order to return to the city a long time ago."
