King of Industry

Chapter 71 – You May Not Like What I Say

Chapter 71 You may not like what I say

With the permission of Station Master Xiao, Zhao Guoyang and the driver Xiao Feng moved the frame from the pickup truck and put it in the designated location of the warehouse.

After finishing, Zhao Guoyang chatted with the stationmaster Xiao for a few more words, then got into the car with the driver Xiao Feng, and went straight to the Siyang Group Hotel.

The head of the Technical Quality Department said hello, and the waiter of the hotel was very polite to Zhao Guoyang and the two of them. The rooms they arranged for them also faced south, and the sunlight was very good.

Before returning to the room, Zhao Guoyang patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder and said, “Xiao Feng, you have worked hard. You should rest in the hotel these two days and recharge your batteries.”

“Okay, Section Chief Zhao, you are busy with your work, just tell me if you have anything to do.” Xiao Feng returned to her room full of joy.

It’s no wonder that Xiao Feng is so happy. Zhao Guoyang is different from other leaders. He has no airs and is very considerate.

If you are on a business trip with other leaders, even if you have nothing to do, you have to ask the driver to follow, so as to show that you have status, right?

Zhao Guoyang squinted for a while in the hotel, but couldn’t fall asleep.

After waking up, I watched TV for a while. They were all old TV series, so I lost interest.

There was nothing wrong with him, so he put on his coat and went out, intending to go to the factory area to see and see.

The factory area of Siyang Group is really big enough. Along the way, Zhao Guoyang probably passed dozens of workshops, and they haven’t come to the end yet.

In the factory area, various placards can be seen everywhere, such as: persist in learning, keep dreams and vitality; be brave to challenge, be pragmatic and enterprising; attach importance to teamwork and communication, etc.

Reminiscent of the shabby condition of his Hongda Machinery Factory, Zhao Guoyang felt uncomfortable.

After walking for a while, Zhao Guoyang saw a large open space in front of him, and saw several parking platforms with different angles on the open space, Zhao Guoyang knew where it was.

Emotionally wandering around, he came to the test track of Siyang Group.

Zhao Guoyang is no stranger to the proving ground. In his previous life, he has been engaged in the structural design of various vehicles. Basically, every successful model has to go through countless tests on the proving ground.

Compared with the test track in memory, the test track of the Siyang Group seems to be a little deserted. Looking from a distance, Zhao Guoyang saw only three cars shuttled back and forth on the field.

However, what made Zhao Guoyang curious was that although there were not many cars in this test track, there were quite a few people watching around.

“It seems that there are big factories that are not good. The test team employs so many people. Isn’t this a waste of resources?” Zhao Guoyang secretly slandered.

After slowly approaching, Zhao Guoyang heard a person asking questions.

“Your Siyang Group has now reached a cooperation intention with the island country Yamaha, and this technical standard should also be in line with others. But the noise of your cars seems to be a bit loud…”

The person speaking was an old man with silver hair and glasses. He was of medium build and wore a navy blue jacket. He looked more like a businessman than a scholar.

Although what this person asked was very tactful, it somewhat prevented the people from the Siyang Group from stepping down.

Several test drivers are not very knowledgeable about technology. After hearing this, you will look at me right now, and you will be a little dazed when I look at you.

Zhao Guoyang just heard these words, and looking at his appearance, he reckoned that some big supplier came to purchase.

Originally, as an outsider, Zhao Guoyang couldn’t care about this matter at all, but when he thought about his own factory, he still relied on Siyang for food.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang coughed, leaned forward and said with a smile: “Sir, although domestic motorcycles have made great progress over the years, they still lag behind imported motorcycles.”

“Although the noise of these cars of Siyang Group sounds loud, it is because the sound is easy to amplify on the empty and quiet test track. In fact, if compared horizontally in China, the noise of Siyang Group’s cars is already at the same level. It is relatively small in displacement models.”

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, several test drivers next to him showed gratitude to him.

Although these test drivers did not know the specific identity of the old man who was interrogating, the other party came down with the central ministries and commissions for inspection, and he was definitely not an ordinary person. There is no doubt about this.

Now people ask a question and no one can answer it. If they don’t say it, they must have some opinions in their hearts.

Now suddenly a young man who knew how to do it appeared and explained a few words, and the test drivers mistakenly thought that Zhao Guoyang was one of them.

“If you have shortcomings, you should seek truth from facts. It is not a good style to blindly make excuses.” The old man glanced at Zhao Guoyang and said with some displeasure.

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang felt a little upset, thinking that you are a supplier who comes to purchase, what are you crazy about? Siyang Group’s motorcycles are indeed top-notch in China, and they are often sold out of stock in the market. If you have one more, you will not have more, and if you have one less, it will be a lot.

Besides, domestic motorcycles are of course incomparable to Yamaha, which represents the top level of the same industry. It is really meaningless to entangle this issue.

Don’t you take a look, isn’t the price difference between the two?

Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang couldn’t help but said: “Old man, I’m not making excuses for the Siyang Group, but telling the truth.”

“Actually, who wouldn’t want to manufacture the best products if they have the ability? But to be honest, our country’s relatively low level of basic technology at this stage determines the upper limit of our products.”

“Even if we can design a vehicle that is comparable to the top level in the United States, but the craftsmanship of the parts is not up to the level, is it still useless?”

“So, before questioning the insufficient level of our domestically produced vehicles, we should first care about why the domestic technology level has not been improved. This is the fundamental problem.”

Zhao Guoyang’s words directly stunned the old man.

He never expected that someone would dare to directly question the craftsmanship level of the entire country in front of him.

“you you…”

Seeing the old man’s rather annoyed look, Zhao Guoyang couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled, thinking that I just said a few words, why are you still in a hurry.

“Well, old man, you may not like what I said. However, you must also admit that what I said is the truth.” Zhao Guoyang shrugged.

“In fact, our country’s manufacturing industry has always followed the path of low cost, low level, and low price, largely due to the low level of craftsmanship of basic parts.”

“You may not understand what you say. For example, it’s like the ballpoint pen produced in our country. Although it has been localized long ago, its accuracy and production efficiency cannot be compared with foreign technology.”

“A nib has five grooves to guide the ink. The **** are placed between the nib and the grooves. There are strict matching requirements, and the processing error must not exceed 0.003 mm.”

“If we want to reach the international advanced level, our country will definitely not be able to do it in a short period of time. However, can you blame our country’s designers or ballpoint pen manufacturers for this?”

Zhao Guoyang’s words were so easy to understand that even the test driver of Siyang Group couldn’t help nodding.
