Chapter 72 The Shadow of the Year

After Zhao Guoyang talked, the old man couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

He really never expected that he would encounter such a weirdo in Siyang Group.

The old man is Li Kejian. He is an academician of the Republic Academy of Engineering and the former president of the General Academy of Mechanical Sciences. Now he is at the age of retiring from the second line and has been transferred back to the Machinery Working Committee and named a deputy director.

Not only in the Mechanical Working Committee, the national machinery industry, but also in the industry of the entire Republic, this old man is a well-deserved leader.

When talking about the industry of the Republic, we have to mention the word "eight machines coexist".

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to revitalize the industry of the Republic, the country established the First Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Second Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Among them, the first Ministry of Machinery Industry mainly manages civil machinery, telecommunications, and ships; the second Ministry of Machinery Industry mainly manages weapons, tanks, and aviation industries.

Later, after a series of reorganizations and divisions, it gradually developed into eight mechanical industry departments, namely: the first machine department in charge of civil machinery; the second machine department in charge of nuclear industry and nuclear weapons; the third machine department in charge of aviation; the fourth machine department in charge of electronics industry; the fifth machine department in charge of weapons; the sixth machine department in charge of ship manufacturing; the seventh machine department in charge of aerospace; and the eighth machine department in charge of agricultural machinery.

The old man Li Kejian was previously in the General Institute of Mechanical Sciences, and was originally a direct deputy ministerial-level research institute of the First Ministry of Machinery.

A few years ago, the country reorganized eight Ministry of Machinery Industry and successively established the Republic's Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and the Republic's Aerospace Industry Department and other important departments.

The Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Ministry of Ordnance Industry were also merged into the National Machinery Industry Commission. This was not the case. The General Academy of Mechanical Science Research, which was originally affiliated to the Ministry of Machinery, was incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Machinery Working Committee.

Li Kejian, in the era when the "eight machines coexist" was already a well-known expert in the domestic machinery industry, and had absolute voice in large-scale machinery and power.

Although others belong to the First Machinery Department, several other Ministry of Machinery Industry often ask him for help when they have something to do. After a while, he got the nickname "Eight Machinery Consultant".

Li Kejian spent almost his whole life working tirelessly for the industrial progress of the Republic and achieved considerable achievements, but he was still far from the goal he wanted to achieve.

Because of an unfulfilled wish, although the old man in his place has reached the point, he is still enthusiastic.

This time, Fang Xuesen, executive deputy director of the State Aircraft Working Committee, and his party went south to inspect several large state-owned enterprises and invited him to join him, so he followed without hesitation.

After arriving at Siyang Group, Li Kejian and Director Fang proposed to go around by themselves and not to attend any welcome ceremony with the large army.

Director Fang had worked in the First Machinery Department and worked with Li Kejian. He was half of Li Kejian's apprentice. He naturally couldn't stop the old man from doing so.

He also knew that Li Kejian was a pragmatic person and did not like superficial articles. He was more comfortable to act freely by himself. So after Li Kejian made a request, Director Fang agreed.

Because he was worried about the elderly’s safety, Director Fang also wanted to send a service staff to follow him, but was eventually rejected by Li Kejian.

In his words, I am only sixty-three and my body is still strong. Are you still afraid of getting lost?

Li Kejian was firm in his attitude, and Director Fang was not willing to force him, so he could only let him act.

So the old man wandered around Siyang Group and came to the test yard.

Listening to the obvious excessive noise during the test drive, Li Kejian was in a bad mood.

In the eyes of the old man, Siyang Group, as the pioneer in the industry, should be at the top domestic level and not far from the world's first-class.

But just from the noise, the products of Siyang Group undoubtedly disappointed him a little.

Although the test runners guessed that the stranger was probably from the leader, they did not know his specific identity. After Li Kejian came to the test runway and asked a question, everyone was a little confused.

At this moment, Zhao Guoyang suddenly came uninvited. While helping the Siyang Group to relieve the siege, it also aroused the strong interest of Mr. Li Kejian.

Looking at the young man in front of him with a firm and confident look, Li Kejian sighed, as if he had seen his shadow back then.

A young man who works in machinery and motorcycles even knows the shortcomings of the Republic in ballpoint pen tips. This is beyond description of the word "freak".

Li Kejian really wanted to have a good conversation with this young man and see what he knew.

Zhao Guoyang didn't know what the old man opposite was thinking. Seeing that the other party stopped talking, he thought that his words had just convinced the other party, so he turned the topic back.

"Old man, let's put the objective reasons aside first. In terms of the performance of domestic motorcycles and imported motorcycles, I admit that there is a certain gap."

"These gaps are mostly reflected in the details of noise, vibration, fuel consumption, and the durability of some small parts. Imported products may be better than us."

"But we also need to see that domestic companies are constantly improving and working hard to improve. Let's talk about the cooperation between Siyang Group and the island country Yamaha Group. Isn't it also a process of learning from each other to learn from the other party? As the saying goes, learning from the skills of the barbarians to control the barbarians, isn't this the reason?" Zhao Guoyang finally added.

"Haha, although this is a bit of helping me to shirk my mind, it makes some sense." Hearing this, Li Kejian finally smiled.

Seeing Zhao Guoyang's disapproval expression, Li Kejian smiled and said, "Young man, listen to your tone, you know a lot about vehicles!"

"I can't tell you what you know, I just know a little bit, after all, I'm a skilled person." Zhao Guoyang said quite reservedly.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang say that he is a skilled person, Li Kejian became energetic.

He squinted his eyes and stared at Zhao Guoyang for a moment, and asked, "Since you are a technical person, I happen to have a few questions to ask you."

Zhao Guoyang shrugged and said with a smile: "Old man, just ask, I will definitely say if you know."

"That's right. I heard that your Siyang Group is preparing to develop large-displacement motorcycles and needs to purchase imported large-displacement engines, which may be very costly."

"Since it's not cost-effective, why don't you buy the engines of the car factory directly? Isn't the displacement definitely enough? I heard that Yangcheng Automobile Group Co., Ltd. is not far from here. If possible, why don't you go to find them?"

Zhao Guoyang didn't know that Li Kejian was exploring his bottom line. After hearing the old comrade's words, he was a little ridiculous: "I said, old man, your business is quite big, are you going to enter the industry as well?"

Li Kejian was stunned for a moment, nodded without comment and said, "Well, I really want to go to Yangcheng Automobile Group Co., Ltd. in a while."
