That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1233 Are You Reading a Script?

Among the information Li Ye received in advance was the information about Qingdao University professor Xiahou Qingzhi.

He was a college student at Shanghai Tongji University in the 1950s. After graduation, he went to Austria for further studies for a few years. After returning, he transferred to Tsinghua University for further studies. Eventually, he became a "well-known scholar" in the industry and had a large number of disciples.

When Lister Company came to negotiate some time ago, Qiao Jinfeng, who messed up things, was once a student of Professor Xiahou.

The old man considered himself to be highly respected, and when he heard Li Ye's series of "thorny" words, his face immediately drooped.

"Director Li, why are you speaking so aggressively? Did I tell you to play dumb?"

"The smell of gunpowder?"

Li Ye laughed coldly, "Who would raise a child for two years and then see him being strangled to death? Wouldn't they feel a little angry?"

"."

As soon as Li Ye said this, the meeting room seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, making everyone feel suffocated and irritated.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the conference room was not right, Niu Hongzhang immediately shouted, "Li Ye, watch your words. What kind of occasion is this? Who wants to strangle your child? Who are you angry with?"

Li Ye glanced at Niu Hongzhang and said calmly, "Am I wrong? Our first branch has been researching this project for nearly two years, spending millions of dollars on research and accumulating the efforts of hundreds of people.

As a result, it is going to be stopped and abandoned just because of a suggestion from a few experts and scholars. What is the difference between this and someone strangling their own child to death?
As a member of our unit, you not only do not fight for everyone's hard work and efforts, but you also listen to rumors and ask us to stop research at the first opportunity. Have you ever understood our research project? Have you ever understood everyone's feelings and difficulties? "

"."

Niu Hongzhang was confused.

He couldn't imagine how the workers in the factory would look at him if the content of today's meeting were to get out.

A traitor who helps outsiders bully his own people!
Once Niu Hongzhang was completely isolated in the unit, those who supported him would be ready to give up on him.

Useless chess pieces are worth nothing.

But now Niu Hongzhang could only grit his teeth and said weakly: "Li Ye, watch your words. Today we are just discussing the matter. Don't bring up personal feelings."

"嘁~"

Li Ye glanced at Niu Hongzhang and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He had already made up his mind. Although today's occasion was very serious, as long as Director Qu didn't speak, he would confront anyone he caught.

Li Ye is under the jurisdiction of the department, not of any expert or scholar.

You have stepped on my head, how can I still act like a good student and a good child?
Director Qu finally spoke.

"Comrade Li Ye, I think you must have misunderstood. We are holding this discussion today to discuss whether the project itself is worth continuing. It does not mean that you should stop the research immediately.
The department also highly praises the research achievements of your first branch in recent years, so as long as your reasons are sufficient, the department will definitely not stop you."

Director Qu's words did not surprise Li Ye.

Because of the news passed by Xue's army, Director Qu's attitude on this matter was "fair", which was also the result of Xue's army's efforts. If someone from another faction had come this time, they would have launched a thundering attack on Li Ye long ago.

"I'm sorry, I got a little excited."

Li Ye stood up and bowed to Director Qu and the people around him, then sat down and said, "When I was on a business trip to Dengta, I heard that someone accused the project we were researching of being a backward project.
I am quite puzzled. Our project has not been made public. What is the reason that attracted the attention of authoritative experts?
Because we just broke up the negotiations with Lister Company some time ago, I can't help but wonder if someone is jealous of us and is maliciously belittling our research project."

Director Qu said: "You are definitely wrong to think so, but it is understandable. Today we are here to solve this problem, Professor Xiahou, can you please tell me your opinion first?"

Xiahou Qingzhi nodded and took out a stack of manuscripts.

Then he asked Li Ye: "Deputy Director Li, you didn't report your research project on the imitation engine, right?" Li Ye said calmly: "Yes, our first branch always reports after the research results are obtained. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be like some people who just thunder without rain."

"Pfft~"

Wu Yan behind Li Ye smiled.

Many research projects in the mainland must first be reported and apply for funding before research can begin.

As for whether or not research results can be produced, 80 percent of the research has received funding from the state, but in the end nothing is produced.

Originally this would be nothing, but Li Ye now said in front of Xiahou Qingzhi that "some people just thunder without rain", which was obviously a satire on Xiahou Qingzhi who always did this kind of thing.

And the fact is, he does this quite often.

However, Xiahou Qingzhi is already in his fifties and has a very strong ability to control his facial expressions.

He just glanced at Li Ye and said calmly: "This is what Director Li did wrong. Large-scale industrial research projects like this must be planned in a unified manner to avoid duplication and ineffective research.
For example, the Mitsubishi engine you are imitating is already more than ten years behind the times. This is a typical waste of money.
Although you did not apply for research funding from the state, you were wasting funds from state-owned enterprises, which also harmed the interests of the country."

"I'll interrupt."

Li Ye interrupted Xiahou Qingzhi and said bluntly: "We have checked the development of engines in the mainland and found that no company can independently produce electronic fuel injection engines. We are the first in the country.

Also, I just came back from Dengta, and Dengta's new cars still use similar engines. How come we are backward and ineffective?"

Xiahou Qingzhi pushed up his reading glasses and said with a bit of ridicule, "The first in China? Then do you know how advanced FAW Aodi's engine is? Do you know that Shanghai Volkswagen is ready to replace it with a brand new electronic fuel injection engine?"

Li Ye interrupted again: "You are talking about Volkswagen's engine, right? Even if they are produced in the mainland, how much do we have to pay them for producing an engine? Have you ever calculated how much profit the Germans took from a Santana worth hundreds of thousands of yuan?"

"."

Even though Xiahou Qingzhi was old and strong, he couldn't help but blush.

Because those present here are not ordinary people, there are a few insiders who know the truth.

At their peak, GM and Volkswagen in Shanghai had annual profits of several million, but the Germans and the people from Lighthouse took away 70 percent of the profits. So if you compare their engines with Li Ye's, it might cause disgust among people like Director Qu.

"The issue we are discussing today is that even if your engine is successfully developed, it will have no use in the market and will only waste national resources."

Xiahou Qingzhi unfolded his stack of reports and began to read: "Mitsubishi's single-point electronic fuel injection engine began to be developed in 1969, which is 21 years ago."

"In the next decade or so, the engine level of domestic joint venture cars will be improved by one level, and the price will be reduced by 20%, so the research of Beijing Light Automobile Company is blind."

Li Ye finally understood why Xiahou Qingzhi didn't want Wu Yan and others to come in.

Seeing him stumbling over and reciting the report verbatim, Li Ye doubted whether he understood EFI technology.

"Wait a minute, Professor Xia Hou, can you show me your report?"

"what?"

Xiahou Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then said: "I can give you a copy later so that you can learn from it."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "No, I want to see it now."

Xiahou Qingzhi frowned and said seriously: "Don't be unreasonable. It doesn't matter if you fall behind. Just listen to the lesson and correct your mistakes."

But Li Ye laughed and said, "No, no, no, you are wrong. I just doubt that you can't even remember the contents of the report? Are you reading from the manuscript?"
