Wang Shouren was very busy.
I had just left the factory in the morning, and in the afternoon, I went to XX Aviation Academy.
Among the old men he picked up from the streets back then, there were quite a few big shots. Among them, the one he was most familiar with was this Professor Zhuge.
Professor Zhuge did not disgrace his surname; his academic level was quite high.
He was officially reinstated 76 years later.
Thanks to Wang Shouren, I didn't suffer too much during those years.
For years, I've been researching engine-related things in a "retirement home".
After returning to the school, he became the vice principal of the college.
Wang Shouren entered his office.
Old Zhuge looked up at him and said, "You've finally arrived. Our calculations went smoothly before. How's it going on your end? In my opinion, we should just hand it over to the people at the background car manufacturing plant. If that doesn't work, we can hand it over to the motorcycle manufacturing plant."
The two factories that Zhuge Laotou mentioned became quite famous in later generations.
In 1987, they were directly merged into Beijing Automotive and Motorcycle Joint Manufacturing Company, abbreviated as BAIC Motor. The famous BJ212 off-road vehicle was the company's flagship product.
Wang Shouren shook his head: "No, I'll do it myself. We've already agreed that this patent belongs to us. Giving it to you is fine, but giving it to someone else is not. I've already made arrangements. I've taken over a small motorcycle factory, and then you can give a few of my students a share. That will be considered an investment."
Old Man Zhuge's eyes widened: "Who do you think you are? You think you can just give me a few students? Impossible!"
Old Man Zhuge found it hard to believe that this guy could be so shameless as to say such a thing.
The students in their college are all precious gems, talents dedicated to the cause of the motherland. How could they possibly give them to Wang Shouren?
To put it bluntly, nobody would want to work at Wang Shouren's crappy unit.
"No, you all received the news as soon as I came out?" Wang Shouren was a little annoyed. He had originally planned to fool these old men.
"Everyone knows you're in trouble." Old Man Zhuge glanced at him. "Putting that aside, several technologies have made significant progress. Now, all that's left is testing. If possible, these things can probably be directly applied to the military. You should know that, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Actually, the technology for this engine was given to him by the system during a login session.
He kept it hidden away carefully, and only now has it finally been completed.
Currently, all engines in China are two-stroke. He and Old Man Zhuge collaborated to improve the two-stroke engine, and incidentally, they also developed a four-stroke engine. Wang Shouren understood that what he had now was considered advanced even by world standards. As for the motorcycle models…
It wasn't difficult for him, and he didn't need to bring out any overly high-end models.
He planned to take out that Suzuki AX100, which was popular all over the country. He was going to completely ruin his family's future!
When will you expect to get it sorted out on your end?
"There wasn't anything too difficult. Once we got rid of a few 'worms,' the rest was easy."
"You've got something on them?"
"Heh." Wang Shouren sneered, "They're just a bunch of fools who think they've done something flawless, but in reality..."
After saying that, Wang Shouren shook his head: "These methods are really not respectable."
It's basically just a disposal process. They take some plans they're working on, declare them obsolete, and then dump these obsolete items. They just discard them; who knows what those obsolete items are, or even what they are?
If the departments cooperate well, the people at the top will definitely be very well-off. This kind of operation is very common in factories.
There's a lot going on inside this motorcycle factory, but not a little either.
The biggest group is that of the deputy factory director's faction. Before they even arrived, the higher-ups had already done a pretty thorough investigation. The main reason they went today was to see just how many people the so-called deputy factory director actually had under his command. Given their experience in power struggles, if he goes tomorrow, he'll most likely be met with a barrage of non-cooperation.
When the time comes, pulling out the radish will bring out the mud along with it, and that will solve the problem.
Those people probably still think they've done it very discreetly and there's no big problem.
"You should know that the real problem isn't with that group of fools, right?" Old Zhuge stopped what he was doing, looked up at Wang Shouren, and his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
“Of course I know,” Wang Shouren grinned, revealing eight teeth. “It’s not a big problem. As for resuming production, you know I have connections at the steel mill, the machinery factory, the police station, and the supply and marketing cooperative. Besides, I’ve even built a road overseas…”
"Alright, alright, get lost if you have nothing else to say. Let's get into the experimental phase as soon as possible!" Old Man Zhuge waved his hand.
"Okay, I came here to talk to you, sir. You see, this student..."
"You'll have to figure it out yourself then, I won't stop you."
The real trouble wasn't with Liu Hang and his group. The real trouble was something that had existed for a long time: the workers. In state-owned enterprises, if you were a regular worker, as long as you didn't do anything reckless or illegal, the factory wouldn't fire you.
When taking over a factory, the focus isn't on efficiency or profit, but on how many people work there.
How many of these people are the type who just eat and do no work?
The inability to dismiss them was a huge problem. Why not deal with people like Liu Hang? Firstly, there wasn't time to deal with them right now; secondly, if they were dealt with, who would clean up the mess? This was one of the reasons for the "layoff wave" of the 1990s. These factories were like bodies crawling with worms of all sizes. Removing the big worms didn't help.
Only by eliminating them all can true vitality be unleashed.
This is why Zhuge Liang specifically asked Wang Shouren a question.
This question, though seemingly insignificant, revealed to Old Man Zhuge that this guy had been planning this for a long time. The resources this guy could mobilize—in academia, the military and government, and various factories under the Ministry of Industry—were something even this old man envied. He even had access to foreign resources.
This is why Zhuge Liang said "I won't stop him" at the end.
Even if I get a permanent position after that, following this guy might actually lead to a good outcome.
