King of Industry

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, can you still drive?" Mu Aijun showed a bit of surprise.

Zhao Guoyang agreed: "Director Mu, I don't dare to joke about this, I really know it. During the summer vacation at school, I learned it by myself, but I just didn't take the driver's license test. It is absolutely no problem to drive a small truck."

"Oh, since you really know how, then I don't worry. The driver's license is easy to handle. One of my comrades-in-arms is the leader of the Ninghai City Vehicle Management Office. You can give me a copy of your ID card. I will go to the city for a meeting later. I'll help you with this when it's time."

Zhao Guoyang didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and he immediately smiled. He knew how to drive, but it would be really troublesome in this day and age to get a driver's license.

Seeing Zhao Guoyang's overjoyed expression, Mu Aijun couldn't help joking: "The driver's license will definitely be issued soon, but you have to pay the fee yourself..."

Zhao Guoyang scratched his head and said, "Yes, yes, of course."

Mu Aijun patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Okay, the car is parked at the warehouse, the key is on it, just go and drive by yourself. Slow down on the road, don't make any mistakes .”

After leaving the factory director's office, Zhao Guoyang went straight to the warehouse, where the medium-sized Jiefang truck in the factory had already parked.

Zhao Guoyang walked to the front of the car in three steps and two steps. Just as he was about to get in the car, he saw Mu Aijun's driver Li Xiaoqiang coming down.

"Hey, Section Chief Zhao, hello, hello! The car is ready for you, and the gas is full!" Li Xiaoqiang is a smart ghost, knowing that this Zhao Guoyang is getting the favor of Director Mu recently, so he naturally made enough gestures.

Zhao Guoyang hurriedly said a few words to Li Xiaoqiang politely, and before he left, he insisted on stuffing him with a pack of cigarettes.

Zhao Guoyang's generosity undoubtedly made Li Xiaoqiang's sense of this young college student a bit better, and he was almost called a brother.

Once the car is done, the rest will be easy. Zhao Guoyang arranged for several people from the technical department to lift the frame onto the truck and fix it with ropes.

After finishing the work, Zhao Guoyang ordered the names of Hua Guosheng, Xu Dongfeng, and Zhang Chaoyang, and asked them to go to Xiangyang Machinery Factory with him.

After being named, Hua Guosheng's expression was quite calm, but Xu Dongfeng and Zhang Chaoyang couldn't restrain the joy on their faces.

In the early 1990s, business travel was a great thing.

No matter how far you are or how close you are, if you go to another manufacturer, at least you won’t be able to escape for a meal. Sometimes, when you meet a generous manufacturer, you can still get a pack of cigarettes, which is really a good thing.

Compared with procurement and sales, people in the technical department generally have very few opportunities to travel on business. Therefore, people in the technical department flock to every opportunity to travel.

Zhao Guoyang knew all about these situations. So after seeing the frustration on Chang Yuan's face, he patted him on the shoulder and explained a few words, saying that the pickup truck can only hold so many people.

When everything was ready, Zhao Guoyang got into the car first, and the others also got up separately.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the pickup truck started and slowly drove out of the factory gate.

Driving a car for the first time after rebirth, this feeling is very strange to Zhao Guoyang.

In an old-fashioned manual transmission truck, shifting gears is quite strenuous, basically physical work, but Zhao Guoyang is enjoying it at the moment and doesn't feel tired at all.

While enjoying the fun of driving, Zhao Guoyang thought to himself: "Seeing that there are less than nine years left before the new century, the domestic automobile industry will soon enter a blowout development."

"The United States, France, the island countries, especially the German auto companies, will share the big cake of the domestic car industry together. Although I have related technologies that are 20 or 30 years ahead of my mind, I want to keep up with these developments. The competition between automobile powerhouses that has been going on for many years is by no means a matter of one day."

"In the medium and heavy truck industry, I and the Republic may have a chance to compete with each other. If there is a chance, I can think about it..."

Zhao Guoyang is not just thinking about it. In fact, his accomplishments in heavy industry in his previous life are among the best in the world.

At that time, Nanfeng Group, the top domestic heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer, once hired him as the person in charge of a major project, and finally successfully designed a blockbuster product that sold well all over the world.

If he is given a good environment and supporting technologies, Zhao Guoyang believes that he can definitely design a heavy truck beyond the times.

But Zhao Guoyang also knew that the meal had to be eaten bite by bite, and there was no rush for such a thing.

Moreover, at this stage, Nanfeng Group seems to have no reputation, and heavy trucks have not emerged as a means of transportation. Most of the domestic cargo transportation still relies on trains.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Guoyang felt that he had to plan ahead and just be prepared.

Along the way, while Zhao Guoyang was thinking about something, Hua Guosheng in the co-pilot communicated with Xu Dongfeng and Zhang Chaoyang behind him from time to time.

It should be said that Hua Guosheng is still a very competent master. Under his supervision, Xu Dongfeng's business level improved rapidly.

This is because Xu Dongfeng is a little lazy, otherwise, the progress must be greater.

Hua Guosheng communicated with Xu Dongfeng and Zhang Chaoyang on some details of the underbone frame. Zhao Guoyang listened to a few words casually, then nodded secretly.

He could feel that Hua Guosheng still had a thorough understanding of the blueprints. This person might not be a good designer, but he was definitely an excellent executor.

The road from Ninghai City to Jianghai County is not easy to walk, with potholes along the way. The small truck bumped so badly that people's backs ached, and Xu Dongfeng behind couldn't help humming a few words.

"Guoyang, why haven't you arrived yet? How far is it?" Xu Dongfeng stretched his neck and asked.

"Xiao Xu, it's not like you haven't been to Jianghai County, so do you need to ask?" Zhang Chaoyang next to him said with a smile.

"Of course I know Jianghai County, but I don't know the exact location of that so-called Xiangyang Machinery Factory!" Xu Dongfeng pouted.

Zhao Guoyang looked at Xu Dongfeng's resentful face from the inside rearview mirror, and said with a smile: "Come on, Dongfeng, you just have to bear with it, you'll be there in more than ten minutes."

"Oh, that's a good feeling!" When he heard that it was coming, Xu Dongfeng was refreshed. The guy looked at Hua Guosheng in front of him, and suddenly said.

"Master, this Xiangyang Machinery Factory seems to be small in scale, right? It shouldn't be comparable to our factory, right?"

Hua Guosheng gave a "hmm" and nodded, "This factory is a private enterprise, and the scale is indeed small..."

"Hey, I said that our Hongda Machinery Factory is going back more and more. Even such a small factory is willing to buy a laser welding machine. But our factory is good, and it is still an ordinary welding machine. We need to weld a new product. It’s really embarrassing to go to other small factories to borrow equipment!”
