After sending the robbers away.
Li Weiguo picked up Wang Shouren's report and began to read it.
To be honest, Wang Shouren's reports are always so pleasing to the eye, even after so many years.
Li Weiguo still enjoyed reading Wang Shouren's reports.
It's alarming how quickly I came to see it.
The further you look inside, the more something seems off.
This involves more than just the motorcycle he owns.
The problem lies with the power output of the four-stroke engine.
According to Wang Shouren's report, four-stroke engines are now on par with global standards, and might even generate foreign exchange.
Motorcycles are fine, but cars are a completely different story.
Among all manufacturing industries, the automotive industry is the most important, without exception. It can determine the strength of a country's manufacturing sector.
Many people would probably be skeptical at first when they hear this.
But that's the truth.
The automotive industry is not simply about manufacturing a car.
It involves a series of industries such as materials, metals, and energy, forming a huge chain.
Moreover, all industrialized countries abroad have been influenced by the automotive industry. It can be said that, at present, the best industry to develop the economy and stimulate heavy industry is the automobile industry.
However, the defects of domestically produced cars are also obvious.
The level was obviously very backward. In the 1950s, China had its own manufactured cars, but to be frank, these were pure copies without any independent innovation. It was fine for family members to use them in China, but if they were released abroad, it would be a complete disgrace.
As for the general public in China, it's even more of a problem. Motorcycles aren't even allowed yet, let alone cars.
The current situation is that there's no leader; everyone's just going about their own business, completely unsure of which direction to take. Many factories are simply resting on their laurels, with only a few, like those in steel, mining, and chemicals, developing well. The reason for this success is that the country is undertaking infrastructure construction, which requires these industries.
However, they cannot escape the phenomenon of relying on past achievements and lack vitality.
The Ministry of Industry had actually realized the problem quite early on.
In reality, these are all superficial things. The fact that not a single factory could succeed with Wang Shouren's proposed refined production line tells them that this might not be simply due to a lack of excitement. Most people prefer stability.
After reading Wang Shouren's report, Li Weiguo did not delay and sent it directly to his superiors, even driving himself to deliver it.
After this report was submitted, it remained at the level of a top leader.
The higher-ups did not pass the letter up the chain of command.
Because there is no need for it at the moment.
He could make decisions about motorcycles, but automobiles were beyond the capabilities of a joint public-private enterprise. Moreover, as things stood, Wang Shouren had only achieved some minor successes, insufficient to convince those above him to move in that direction. It would take time and effort. Wang Shouren was well aware of this; he was simply offering a preemptive warning.
To be honest, cars are not as simple as motorcycles.
There are far more things to consider than just a motorcycle. He figured it wouldn't be ready in less than two or three years. First, he needed to draft a report to let his superiors know that he needed to make money, specifically foreign exchange. The rest could be dealt with later.
Everything is proceeding smoothly.
Wang Shouren rode a motorcycle made in his own factory home amidst envious glances from many people.
Now that things are mostly settled at the factory, he plans to expand it once the first batch of profits arrive. As for the factory's daily operations, he'll leave that to Xu Weiwei; she's got plenty of energy right now. If anything comes up, she can just call him. He plans to use the rest of his time to focus on cultivating his internal energy.
As soon as I got home, I found Qin Jingru diligently cleaning the house.
Seeing Wang Shouren return, she said irritably, "You're so carefree! You went out for the whole day, leaving me all alone at home."
"Why are you back?" Wang Shouren walked over in surprise and hugged Qin Jingru, who was throwing a tantrum.
"Go away, you stink, don't hug me."
“I like you even if you stink~” Wang said without hesitation.
"I'm saying you stink!" Qin Jingru shoved him away.
Wang Shouren sniffed; there was no smell.
“I’m telling you, this courtyard is so quiet. My cousin has gone to the countryside again. You know what, living here makes me feel a little uneasy.”
Wang Shouren was quite ambitious back then, buying a three-courtyard house directly. There were only a few people in the family. If Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, Huaihua, Lou Xiao'e, and others came to live there, it would at least feel lively. But now, with only the two of them in the entire three-courtyard house, it was indeed a bit eerie.
"How about we bring Mom, Dad, and my two older brothers up here?" Wang Shouren tentatively suggested.
"Give me a break. Mom and Dad, and my two brothers? They're doing just fine in the village. The old man spends all his time happily wandering around, wanting the whole world to know that Qin Family Village is all thanks to him. If he doesn't have to, he probably doesn't plan to leave Qin Family Village for the rest of his life. And my mother looks forward to mealtimes at the canteen. She said she's never experienced being waited on before, and now she's going to have to try it."
"If you really let them come, they'll probably feel bad about spending money on groceries."
Wang Shouren touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. In terms of living environment, Qin Family Village could indeed be considered excellent.
He knew his father-in-law and mother-in-law. According to Qin Huairu, after the village chief position was handed over, the old man would wander around the village with his hands behind his back all day, occasionally pointing out what was going on. His mother-in-law was even more so. She had cooked all her life, and now that she didn't have to cook, she also wandered around with the old man. However, she would often go and chat with the old women at the village entrance about gossip.
According to her mother-in-law, she had to be responsible for restoring Wang Shouren's image as a philandering son-in-law. Otherwise, things wouldn't look good later.
As for how it was distorted, Wang Shouren had heard the story of "the fox howling at night" when he last went back. He didn't know what version it had been updated to now. He wondered if this were in ancient times, he should be crowned emperor.
To be fair, the mother-in-law's storytelling skills were quite impressive.
"And this place! How come it's so clean!"
