"I understand! Grandpa Zhou, can I make a small request?"
"you say!"
"Everyone assigned to the institute, whether they're frontline workers, engineers, or even deputy directors, must be of genuine skill. Don't send in second- or third-generation people who are overconfident or disobey management. I'm afraid I'll be tempted to beat them up!"
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, the old man was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter.
After he finished laughing, he said, "Don't worry. Although the establishment of a directly affiliated research institute is a bold attempt, we will definitely not assign people to it casually. After all, we want to build this into the best military research institution in our country."
"I'm relieved by your words! By the way, the six workers I have now won't be kicked out, right?"
"No, their previous work performance and review results fully meet the requirements. You can rest assured."
"Okay, then I have no problem!"
In fact, Xu Jianguo didn't want to be the director of this institute. According to his personality, he would rather tinker with things on his own.
If someone asked Xu Jianguo whether the equipment he had developed was carefully thought out, he would definitely tell them honestly: "No..."
However, since this matter was proposed by the old man, even if Xu Jianguo disliked it, he could not offend the old man.
Besides, Xu Jianguo is still groping for the way forward in the future. After all, the timeline of this world is completely different from the world he had before. It can only be said to be a parallel world with a similar historical background.
So Xu Jianguo himself doesn’t know what the world will look like in the future.
However, according to the strategy he had formulated before, he must hide behind the scenes. Even though the Longyao Group has been established and future projects such as private banking, media groups and medical research and development centers will be implemented, he is not prepared to intervene personally and will leave it all to his servants.
If one must compare the rich and the soldiers, Xu Jianguo still prefers his current status.
After all, those hiding behind the scenes are all big guys. Coupled with his somewhat angry personality, as well as the blessing of space and system, he doesn't have to worry about the risk of his identity being exposed. He can attack anyone who doesn't obey him. This is much more interesting than flying around the world to make money in his previous life.
After finishing the business, Xu Jianguo took out the blueprint of the nine-seater military jeep that Xu Shisi had drawn up from his bag, and then told the old man his thoughts and original intentions.
The old man raised his eyebrows, took the blueprint and looked at it carefully. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Is this jeep amphibious?"
Xu Jianguo nodded and said with a smile, "Grandpa Zhou, I won't hide it from you. Actually, the original purpose of designing this car was to make it convenient for the whole family to go out. You know how many people there are in my family, and the children are getting older, so the current car is really a bit small."
"And then?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Later, I added some ideas that I thought were currently feasible, but as I was drawing, I found that the jeep on the drawing seemed to be getting further and further away from my original idea. If I were to use a word to describe this car, I think calling it a light amphibious armored personnel carrier seems more appropriate." Xu Jianguo said somewhat helplessly.
After staring at the expression on Xu Jianguo's face for a while, Mr. Zhou suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, kid, I really don't know what to say to you. You can even casually draw a picture related to military equipment. It's obvious that you were born to eat this bowl of rice. It seems that choosing you as the director and chief engineer of the institute is really a good choice!"
Xu Jianguo was also very upset. Since he started drawing, he added a little here and a little there. Finally, after handing over a dozen sketches to Xu Shisi, after this guy's refinement, the nine-seater military jeep became what it is now.
Seeing Xu Jianguo's frustrated look, Old Man Zhou smiled and said, "Since your idea is good, I won't criticize you for abusing your power to design a car for yourself. Now, I'm going to give you an order!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianguo immediately stood up and said, "Grandpa Zhou, please tell me. I promise to complete the task!"
The old man waved his hand at him, motioning him to sit down, and then he said, "Include this new vehicle in your plan for this year. I allow you to build two prototypes, one of which will be your reward!"
"Really?" Xu Jianguo asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true. How could I possibly lie to you? But before you build the car, we have to agree on three things!"
"Okay, you say!"
"It's said to be a three-point agreement, but in reality, there's only one rule: you're not allowed to install weapons on the car you're awarded!"
"That's it?"
"You don't agree?"
"I agree, I have to agree. I didn't have this idea originally. I simply felt that the car I was driving was too small, so I came up with the idea of redesigning a jeep."
"That's more like it! By the way, what are your plans for New Year's Eve?"
"I want to invite you, Grandma Deng, and Grandpa Su to our house for New Year's Eve dinner. What do you think?"
"You're a kindhearted kid. I think so too. But is there enough space in your house?"
"That's enough. My wife and children can sit at a table by themselves. If that doesn't work, can't I just take the whole table?"
"Okay, it's settled. Let's spend New Year's Eve together this year!"
"good!"
After finishing the business, the grandfather and grandson chatted about family matters for a while. It was not until the old man got up to go to a meeting that Xu Jianguo said goodbye to him and left the red-walled west hall.
When we came out of the red-walled courtyard, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Jianguo thought about it and decided to stay home first and pick up Wen Sitian from get off work when it was almost time.
After parking the car at the gate of his yard, Xu Jianguo jumped out of the driver's seat, pushed open the gate and walked in.
As soon as I entered the house, Fu Bo, who was guarding the living room, came to greet me.
"Master, there's news from the Parrot Country!"
