The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 204 Another life choice, Jiang Hui's unexpected idea
"During this period, many international media have reported on China's performance in Annan."

"It's really a bit beyond everyone's expectations. You guys are still so amazing."

"Especially in a battle a while ago, the performance of the Humvee military vehicle was very surprising."

"I heard that this Hummer military vehicle is the same as the BJ212. Was it designed by you and your teacher together?"

Austin didn't beat around the bush and quickly brought the topic to the Hummer military vehicle.

In his opinion, since China has already reported on the Hummer military vehicle in the newspaper, it means that the topic is not that sensitive.

Maybe I'll get some unexpected news from Jiang Hui today.

"To be honest, many of the weapons we use still need to be improved. For example, we are currently unable to produce advanced equipment such as artillery aiming radars."

Jiang Hui pretended not to hear the second half of Austin's words and only responded to the first half.

These days, Jiang Hui is negotiating with the negotiation team headed by the American Embassy on the project of providing Hummer military vehicles to Afghanistan. He has become more sensitive than usual to any topic related to Hummer military vehicles.

He was a little unsure as to why Austin mentioned the Hummer military vehicle, nor was he sure how much information the other party knew, so he simply avoided the topic.

Of course, in Austin's opinion, although Jiang Hui avoided this topic, he did not directly deny the information about the designer of the Hummer military vehicle, which means that his guess must be accurate.

This eye-catching military vehicle was indeed designed with the participation of Jiang Hui, and even led by Jiang Hui.

In this way, many things become easier to understand.

"Jiang, although some of your words may sound uncomfortable, China still lags behind America in many areas."

"Of course, I believe that with your efforts, this gap will definitely get smaller and smaller."

"I suggest you visit our General Motors headquarters and learn how the world's leading automaker produces a car."

"I think this will be beneficial to your personal development and the development of China's automobile industry."

"It's just a look anyway, you won't lose anything."

After Austin said this, it was really hard for Jiang Hui to refute.

Of course, he also knew that the other party’s invitation to visit the General Motors headquarters was definitely not just a simple visit.

If ordinary Chinese people went to America at this time and saw the huge gap between the two countries, it would be estimated that few would be able to persevere and come back.

Especially when the United States has already provided you with a very good job and helped you solve issues such as green card.

Austin also knew this, so this time he chose a roundabout way and let Jiang Hui go to America to take a look first.

He just didn't believe that Jiang Hui's attitude would not change after seeing the huge gap.

"You are right. It is indeed necessary to go to America to see how General Motors develops and mass produces a model."

"Look at how American parts manufacturers produce parts and how dealers sell cars."

Jiang Hui felt that since the other party had so enthusiastically invited him to come for an inspection, there was no need for him to refuse.

This would seem very strange.

As for whether he would lose his original intention after going there, he was not worried at all.

"I'll call the headquarters tonight and ask them to send the invitation letter over."

"GM will fully assist with the remaining procedures, and all expenses for this trip to America will be covered by GM."

"Taking into account China's special national conditions, this time the inspection team to our General Motors can have no more than five people participating together."

"Of course, you and Mr. Zhu Jiansheng must be included in it."

Austin obviously did some preparatory work when he came to China this time.

Inviting Jiang Hui to China alone is likely to fail.

But if it is an inspection team, the situation is different.

This is a normal official activity and there is no problem with it.

"Then I'll spare you the trouble."

Jiang Hui didn't dwell too much on this issue.

For ordinary Chinese people, having the opportunity to travel to the United States on business without spending a penny of their own money is definitely a very happy thing.

Even in later generations, it remains so.

But Jiang Hui has seen the world, and a business trip won't change his mind.

"Of course. The car you designed for us is currently being prepared as a prototype. I will accompany you to visit various departments and major suppliers of GM, so that you can have a direct understanding of the strength of the American automobile industry."

Austin is in a very good mood now.

Jiang Hui agreed to visit General Motors, so his trip to China this time was very valuable.

It would be perfect if Jiang Hui could work at General Motors Design Center in the future to help him design various new car models.

As long as Jiang Hui goes to America, Austin is 70% to 80% sure that he can persuade Jiang Hui to stay and work.

If it really doesn't work, General Motors can help arrange a job for Jiang Hui's entire family.

"How long do you plan to stay in China this time?"

"If you have time, I'd like to invite you to try some of the capital's specialties."

“Although the dining environment is not as good as the Capital Hotel, the taste is definitely very special.”

No matter what, Austin's approach is beneficial to Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui still has to acknowledge this favor.

Besides, this time he also brought me a batch of magazines, which is a valuable gift.

In America, books and magazines are not cheap.

A box of magazines may not cost much for Austin, but considering the cost in China at that time, it is absolutely huge.

Jiang Hui’s annual salary is not enough to buy a box of magazines.

"I came to China this time mainly to discuss with your Automobile Bureau some policy changes regarding China's cooperation in building factories, in preparation for General Motors to enter the Chinese market in the future."

"The other is that I want to meet old friends and discuss the development of the automotive industry with you."

"There are no other special arrangements."

"So apart from the meeting with the Motor Vehicles Bureau tomorrow afternoon, I'll be free starting the day after tomorrow."

Austin was naturally willing to communicate further with Jiang Hui and take their personal relationship a step further.

Both of them wanted to maintain this "friendship", so the conversation was naturally harmonious.

……

"That American is looking for you again?"

When Jiang Hui returned to the courtyard, he heard noise outside the door and Zhu Lin came out.

A few days ago, a telephone was finally installed in the courtyard. When Jiang Hui doesn't come back for dinner, he can just call him.

So Zhu Lin also knew that he was going to meet Austin from General Motors today.

"Yes, I have to go to the First Ministry of Machine Building for a meeting tomorrow afternoon, which is also related to him."

"But just because he brought me this big box of magazines, I'd welcome him to come more often."

Jiang Hui struggled to pick up a large box of magazines from the trunk of the taxi.

His strength was relatively strong, but he also felt the strain.

This box of magazines must weigh more than 100 kilograms. I really can't buy them even if I have money.

"Austin brought you a big box of magazines?"

"Great, I'll put it in our department's library when you're done reading it."

At this time, Zhu Jiansheng also came out.

Since he got the car, Zhu Jiansheng moved into the courtyard house to live with the couple.

He also knew today that Jiang Hui was going to meet someone from General Motors, and now he couldn't wait to know what Austin wanted him to do.

Although General Motors is now facing challenges from Toyota, after all, it has been the leader in the global automotive industry for decades, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Especially in the past two years, the more Zhu Jiansheng learned about international information, the more he realized how powerful these companies are.

"Sure, I'll just take a quick look and see if there's anything I'm interested in."

“The teachers and students in the department can take a good look at it and learn about the latest international industry trends.”

"I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone learn English well."

The School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Capital University of Technology is Jiang Hui's base, and many of his future events will definitely be related to it.

Similarly, this is also Zhu Jiansheng’s base.

Therefore, it is in the common interests of Jiang Hui and Zhu Jiansheng to enhance the strength of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering through various means.

"What did Austin ask you to do today?"

Watching Jiang Hui put the magazine away, Zhu Jiansheng couldn't wait to start asking questions.

He specifically inquired with the First Ministry of Machine Building today, and was told that the other party had not invited anyone from General Motors to come for inspection during this period.

Austin took the initiative to come here for a visit and exchange.

This seems a bit weird.

"I feel the root cause is the Hummer military vehicle. They must have seen the content in the military newspaper and probably want to come here to find out the truth."

"Then he invited us to visit General Motors. I guess the invitation letter will be sent tomorrow."

"I will go with you, call Zheng Chang and Chief Engineer Chen, and ask the Automobile Bureau to arrange another person, and we will go to General Motors to take a look."

Jiang Hui directly expressed his thoughts.

Austin has said that it will provide five places for a group to visit and exchange ideas with General Motors.

Since Jiang Hui has already agreed, it must be implemented as soon as possible.

"You're going to America?"

There was suddenly a hint of worry on Zhu Lin's face.

In the past year, some of Zhu Lin's colleagues went to the United States, and some never came back.

She knew that America was now much more prosperous than China, and she was worried that Jiang Hui would never come back.

"Yes, let's go and see how other people make cars so that we can make our own cars better!"

"Don't worry, we will be gone for half a month at most this time, and we will be back in a week if we are fast."

When Jiang Hui saw Zhu Lin’s worried expression, he immediately guessed what the other person was worried about.

"It would be good to go and learn and communicate. General Motors has always wanted you to go there to communicate."

"However, given your professional and technical level, I'm afraid there may not be much that they can really teach you."

"What's right for America may not be right for you."

Zhu Jiansheng thought about it for a moment and did not object to this matter.

"I think so too. There is no harm in maintaining an open communication channel with international auto giants such as General Motors."

“As for learning anything from them, I don’t have high expectations.”

"Of course, it would be good to take this opportunity to let Zheng Chang and Chief Engineer Chen see the difference between our newly built production line and others."

"The last time I communicated with the negotiation team of the American Embassy, ​​they invited me to study abroad in the United States."

Since the topic was about America, Jiang Hui thought it would be better to explain the situation clearly.

This is to prevent Zhu Jiansheng or Zhu Lin from having unnecessary worries after hearing some rumors after a while.

"Going to America to study?"

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Zhu Jiansheng fell silent.

Although Jiang Hui's professional and technical level does not need to be supplemented by studying abroad, he is already the best in the industry.

But if you can go to a famous university in the United States to gild your skills and then come back, your future development will definitely be different.

Zhu Jiansheng is very clear about this.

But he was also worried about whether Jiang Hui would be willing to come back in the future if he went abroad to study.

No matter how firm Jiang Hui's attitude is now, anything can happen after a long time of going abroad.

Zhu Lin also became more worried.

She could think of the same things that Zhu Jiansheng could think of.

However, studying abroad is indeed very important to Jiang Hui.

So even though he was very worried, Zhu Lin chose to express his attitude.

"The country has already started to select government-funded students to study abroad, and these people will definitely be given important positions after they return to China."

"With various reforms, overseas students will definitely become very popular."

"If you go to America to study, you might be able to become a department-level cadre in the First Ministry of Machine Building, and be promoted quickly in the next few years to become an important figure in charge of the automotive industry."

“Although you have developed very quickly at the Capital Automobile Factory, it will definitely be difficult to maintain this pace in the future.”

"In this case, choosing to study abroad is a good option."

After hearing what Zhu Lin said, Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment.

But he soon realized that Zhu Lin was considering this issue completely from his own perspective.

After thinking about this, Jiang Hui couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He knew that Zhu Lin would definitely be reluctant to let him study abroad, but considering her own future, she chose to support him.

"Why stay here to study? It will waste two years of your time."

"I am also planning to take advantage of the domestic reforms to come up with something different."

"If I go abroad to study, how can I still do this?"

Jiang Hui's words made Zhu Lin feel relieved, but he also felt it was a pity to miss this opportunity.

Looking at Zhu Lin's troubled face, Jiang Hui added: "Education will indeed become more and more important in the future. For us workers, peasants and soldiers, education is a major drawback."

"Then I'll just go to graduate school with my dad."

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Zhu Jiansheng immediately continued, "This plan is good. Graduate education is gradually gaining attention now. You can come to my place for graduate studies in the second half of this year."

Given Zhu Jiansheng's current status and considering Jiang Hui's strength and influence in the industry, there is absolutely no problem in recruiting him to study for a master's degree.

Zhu Jiansheng felt there was no problem whether it was special recruitment or normal examination.
