Chapter 133 Don't underestimate the department head, my father-in-law got promoted

"According to the factory's plan, the supporting factory will start sending samples next month."

“The first batch of prototypes will only have five, and they will be assembled very quickly.”

"As long as the prototype is confirmed, we can officially arrange for the supporting factory to start mass production of parts."

"How to maximize the production of the new BJ212 is indeed an issue that needs to be carefully considered."

Jiang Hui knew that the most important task for Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant in 1979 was to mass-produce the new BJ212.

Anyone in the factory who knows about this project is full of expectations for the prospects of the new BJ212.

Zheng Haiming has even begun discussing the issue of future prototype displays with Chen Qi and Jiang Hui.

Domestic sales mainly rely on allocation and transfer from higher-level departments, and there is little that Capital Automobile Manufacturing can do on its own.

However, how to export the new BJ212 overseas and make some contribution to foreign exchange earnings is something the factory needs to consider on its own.

The higher authorities won't help you with this.

"The war preparedness task is very heavy now, and there is definitely no way to carry out the production line transformation."

“I just don’t know how long this situation will last.”

Hou Guomin was obviously much more familiar with the situation at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant than Jiang Hui and Chen Chenxing.

Hou Guomin had more or less some understanding of every piece of equipment in every workshop.

It is definitely not a lie to say that he is the person in the entire technical department who knows the situation in the factory best.

"The combat readiness mission has been arranged for some time. Combined with some information in the newspaper, it will not take long for the information to become clear."

"The mass production preparations of our new BJ212 should not be greatly affected by then."

Jiang Hui knew how the situation in the south would develop in the future, so he was not worried at all about what Hou Guomin and the others were worried about.

The prototype of the new BJ212 needs to be confirmed and the durability test needs to be conducted, and it will definitely have to wait until after March before it can enter large-scale mass production.

At that time, the main operation in the south was almost coming to an end.

If the new BJ212 can be produced, the relevant departments definitely do not want the old BJ212.

This is definitely a good thing for the new BJ212 upgrade project team.

"The Annan people are too arrogant. They don't take us seriously at all. We should teach them a lesson."

At this time, the relationship between China and Annan had deteriorated a lot.

People like Hou Guomin, who had experienced the strong support for Annan in the past, were actually more dissatisfied with Annan than many others.

"Jiang Hui, if there really is some fighting in the south, then wouldn't Dad's 'Hummer' project usher in a big development?"

Zhu Lin rarely interrupted, and most of the time he was there quietly enjoying the food alone.

However, when she mentioned things in the south, combined with the information from the previous conversation between Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui, she couldn't help but start to care about the "Hummer" project.

"The Hummer project was born for war. When the relevant departments feel its power, they will naturally pay more attention to it."

"By then, the situation on Dad's side should have changed a lot."

Jiang Hui is still very confident about the "Hummer" project.

As long as Zhu Jiansheng formally submits this project, the Mingzhu secret investment incident will never happen.

"Master, the Hummer project sounds very exciting. Is it a brand new model?"

Chen Chenxing's question definitely touched Hou Guomin's heart.

He was also very curious, but his relationship with Jiang Hui was definitely not as close as Chen Chenxing's.

"This is a brand new model designed by my father and his department. It is completely different in style and route from the current BJ212, and also very different in style from various other military vehicles in the world."

"According to the design concept, this vehicle is a new type of highly mobile military off-road vehicle that can meet the battlefield needs of the new era."

Jiang Hui briefly introduced the situation of the "Hummer" project to Chen Chenxing and Hou Guomin.

"The Capital Institute of Technology doesn't have its own automobile factory, right?"

"Once the design of this model is completed, which factory will produce it?"

Hou Guomin's question hits the nail on the head.

"For the production of various parts, we must find a professional supporting factory."

"However, the arrangement of the vehicle assembly will depend on the arrangements of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the Capital Institute of Technology."

"It's also possible to allocate a factory to Capital Polytechnic University to assemble the Hummer, or to find a subordinate factory to assemble it, or even to cooperate with our factory."

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Hou Guomin didn't bother about it anymore.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with them for the time being.

The group of people ate until eight o'clock in the evening, and their stomachs were fully satisfied.

Then they each went back home and looked for their own mother.

The next day was the weekend, and Jiang Hui and his wife did not go back to her parents' home, but went to climb the Great Wall.

Although it is impossible to completely carry out trips every weekend, Jiang Hui is trying his best to go in this direction.

However, when he came back from get off work on Monday, Zhu Lin happily told Jiang Hui a good news.

"Dad's appointment has come down. From today on, he will be the head of the Vehicle Engineering Department of Capital Institute of Technology."

Zhu Lin must be in a good mood now that his dad has been promoted.

Although he was already the acting department head, everyone knew that the word "acting" would be removed sooner or later.

However, when it comes to personnel changes, no one knows what kind of unexpected events may occur until there is solid evidence.

Now that the official appointment has been made, everyone can feel relieved.

"Dad, this is well deserved. He is fully qualified for the position of department head."

"But I think that the Capital Institute of Technology is still called a college, which is a bit unpleasant."

"When it can be changed to a university, the various departments below can be combined to form several colleges."

"If Dad can become the dean of one of the colleges by then, his future will be even more promising."

"Although they are not very old, when it comes to job changes, the sooner you get promoted the better. If you wait until later, you will have no advantage."

Jiang Hui felt that his previous plan to transform the Capital Institute of Technology into the Capital University of Technology could now be put on the agenda.

Of course, he personally could not make too many decisions on such matters. He could only give some advice and let Zhu Jiansheng take action.

It should be beneficial to the school, to him personally, and to other department heads.

As long as this matter is accomplished, Zhu Jiansheng's status within the school will be raised to a higher level.

If I go one step further in the future, it may not be impossible for me to join the school's leadership team.

In particular, the "Hummer" project has now started. If it is really put into production in the school-run factory in the future, Zhu Jiansheng's influence will be even greater.

Anyway, all the enterprises during this period were state-owned enterprises, so it didn’t matter which department or school they belonged to.

"He has just been appointed as the department head, and he has immediately started pushing for the school to change its name. Isn't that too hasty?"

Zhu Lin certainly supports the name change of the school, which will create more positions and benefit many people. "It will take more than one day or two to change the name of the school, and it is not a good idea for Capital Institute of Technology to propose this idea alone.

"Then you can ask Dad to communicate with other colleges and universities in the capital area, and we can all work together to promote the name change."

"In this way, we just need to get it done within next year."

After Jiang Hui said this, Zhu Lin felt that it was quite feasible.

If a school proposes to change its name, the impact may be limited.

It would be a different matter if several schools had similar demands.

"Then let's go home next week and have a good talk with Dad?"

Zhu Lin is very supportive of Jiang Hui's ideas.

This time the matter also involves my father, so I am even more positive.

"Well, I've been thinking about where to start this matter these days."

"When the time comes, let Dad come up with a plan for the school leaders. It can be considered one of the three things a new official should do when he takes office."

Jiang Hui felt that Zhu Jiansheng could firmly establish himself as the head of the Vehicle Engineering Department with the new BJ212 project in cooperation with Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, the 4MT manual transmission project in cooperation with Capital Gear Factory, and the Dacromet surface treatment technology and Hummer project.

Some other professors who were originally qualified to compete for the position of department head also had to admit defeat.

After all, his achievements are real, more than all the other professors in the department combined.

Now, many associate professors and assistant professors have approached Zhu Jiansheng and started to curry favor with him.

Don’t think that everyone in college is really simple and knows nothing.

In fact, it's pretty much the same everywhere.

……

"Junior brother, has the teacher been promoted?"

The next morning, Jiang Hui was dealing with the new BJ212 in the office when Liao Chengwen came to him on his own initiative.

He didn't care that Chen Chenxing and Hou Guomin were still in the office, and directly and affectionately called Jiang Hui "junior brother".

You know, when there were outsiders around before, he always called Jiang Hui "Little Jiang" and called Zhu Jiansheng "Professor Zhu".

It seems that Zhu Jiansheng becoming the department head has a certain impact on him.

In addition to the president and vice president, Capital Polytechnic now has various professional departments and administrative offices.

It can be said that the department head is a high-ranking and powerful figure in the school, and is only half a step away from the school leaders.

These days, schools and factories all have administrative levels, and personnel transfers between schools, factories, ministries and other departments are very normal.

Zhu Jiansheng is now the head of the department. Don’t underestimate this position as it means he has embarked on a career in politics.

During this period, Liao Chengwen also knew that several major projects in Zhu Jiansheng's hands would soon produce results.

With these projects, it is basically a high probability event that Zhu Jiansheng will make further progress in the future.

In this way, Liao Chengwen naturally hopes that the teacher-student relationship between him and Zhu Jiansheng can be further improved.

"Yes, the college appointed him as the head of the Department of Vehicle Engineering."

Since Liao Chengwen asked that question, it means he already knew the information.

Besides, this is not something shameful.

"Teacher, you are the one that everyone expected. Under his leadership, the Department of Vehicle Engineering will surely become stronger and stronger."

Liao Chengwen's words were not simply flattery.

There are really not many college teachers in this era who can come up with a large number of industrial application cases.

But Zhu Jiansheng not only has it, but also has many more.

"I heard that the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building will also go to the school to review the Dacromet surface treatment process project this week."

“Then we will launch a large-scale promotion campaign throughout the system.”

When Liao Chengwen came to see Jiang Hui, he certainly wouldn't just ask a question and then leave.

In fact, coming here to ask questions was just an introduction. The main point was that he wanted to deepen his relationship with Jiang Hui and see if he could have some private contact with Zhu Jiansheng in the future.

For Liao Chengwen, Jiang Hui is obviously the best link for him to deepen his relationship with Zhu Jiansheng.

“That project has been going on for a while. Several departments of Capital Polytechnic Institute worked together and quickly achieved results.”

“We have recently started to modify the surface treatment requirements for our wheel bolts and other parts on the chassis.”

"The new BJ212 will be the first model in China to use a large number of Dacromet surface treatment parts."

No matter what, Liao Chengwen is now his immediate superior.

He was quite caring towards himself in the factory, so Jiang Hui would definitely accompany him to have a good chat.

Even if you know that the other party has ulterior motives, it doesn’t matter.

What a person fears is not that others take advantage of you, but that you are of no use to any value.

Jiang Hui also needs the support of middle-level key management cadres like Liao Chengwen in the factory.

In the future, his position will definitely not be limited to the position of chassis group leader in the technical department.

……

After Liao Chengwen left the office, Chen Chenxing immediately came up and said, "Master, Professor Zhu has become the director of the Vehicle Engineering Department of Capital Institute of Technology. Can our factory expand the scale of cooperation with them in the future?"

This news is definitely good news for Chen Chenxing.

The more powerful his master's background is, the more benefits he will get.

"It would be great if Professor Zhu could become the department head and also have a position in the college in the future."

Hou Guoming is more aware of the influence of the position of department head at Capital Institute of Technology than Chen Chenxing.

This is just like the dean of a 985 university in later generations. His potential influence and status in the academic circle are very high.

Moreover, the department head of this kind of engineering school can apply for many projects.

After resuming the recruitment of graduate and doctoral students, its influence will be further expanded.

By that time, Zhu Jiansheng alone will have more than ten or twenty graduate students and doctoral students under his command.

These technical talents can be formed into a capable technical team.

Not to mention that he can also mobilize the resources of other professors, associate professors and teaching assistants.

These professors and associate professors also have their own teams.

"Expanding cooperation is inevitable, but we will have to wait and see what the specific plan is."

If he wanted Zhu Jiansheng to exert some influence on the development of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, the two sides would have to have more interactions.

Otherwise, one is affiliated to the First Ministry of Machine Building and the other is affiliated to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, which are considered two systems, and it would be more difficult for them to exert influence.

Now we have the new BJ212 project as a medium. If it can be further expanded in the future, the influence will be completely different.
