The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 349 Principal Zhu's Highlight Moment
At the end of September, Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin brought their four-year-old daughter back to the capital to attend an important celebration.

As the general manager of one of the largest foreign-invested enterprises in China, Zhu Lin was invited by relevant departments to attend the military parade as a guest.

Jiang Hui, as an outstanding representative of the automotive industry, was also invited.

As for Zhu Jiansheng, the president of Capital University of Technology, it was naturally impossible for him to miss such an important event.

"Dad, it has been confirmed that the intercontinental ballistic missile launcher will participate in this parade, right?"

Although Jiang Hui had obtained some information from various channels before, it was definitely not as accurate as Zhu Jiansheng's personal confirmation.

The technology and prototypes of this product have already been sold to the United States, so the sensitivity is not that high.

The appearance of intercontinental ballistic missiles at such an important occasion at this time can also bring a certain deterrent effect to some opponents with ulterior motives.

After all, this big guy can carry special warheads and serve as a ballast for national security.

"It has been confirmed. They will be the last team to appear in the missile force. At the same time, a certain type of intercontinental ballistic missile will also be officially unveiled to everyone for the first time."

Zhu Jiansheng's words gave Jiang Hui some peace of mind.

One of the most important research and development products of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Capital University of Technology in many years has the opportunity to appear directly in front of the world, which is definitely very beneficial to the development of the school.

From now on, it will not be easy for other schools' vehicle engineering majors to surpass Capital University of Technology.

Even Huaqing University is not acceptable.

"Dad, I brought you a suit from Hong Kong. Please try it on later."

As a naturalized female businessman in Hong Kong, Zhu Lin travels from Shenzhen to Hong Kong almost every month to attend meetings, and shopping is naturally inevitable.

Since ancient times, there seems to be few women who don't like shopping.

If you don't like it, it's probably because you're short of money.

"I usually wear a Zhongshan suit, why would I wear a Western suit?"

Zhu Jiansheng was very casual about his clothing arrangements and didn't have any special ideas.

He spends most of his time on school management and scientific research, and is truly working to enhance the influence of Capital University of Technology.

Of course, as the principal, the school's influence has increased, and his personal influence has naturally increased as well.

If he could quickly improve the strength of Capital University of Technology to the level of Peking University and Tsinghua University during his tenure, it would definitely be a place that would be remembered forever.

At his level, what he pursues is often not material things, but more spiritual things.

Zhu Jiansheng is naturally very motivated to do this kind of thing that kills three birds with one stone, as it can not only safeguard the normal business development of his daughter and son-in-law, but also realize his personal ambitions and make real contributions to the school.

"You watch the news every day, and you should have seen that leaders have started to wear suits. As a school principal, isn't it normal for you to follow the leaders' lead?"

There are not many people who dare to speak to Zhu Jiansheng like this, and Zhu Lin is obviously one of them.

"Linlin, I've already bought it, just wear it, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Fang Zhen interrupted and finalized the matter.

……

On National Day, several members of the family went out separately.

Although we were all attending the same event, everyone’s positions and arrangements were completely different.

Because today's occasion is very special, even a person of Zhu Jiansheng's level has no room for free movement and needs to obey the arrangements obediently.

The importance of the automobile industry in China cannot be compared with that in later generations, so those standing in the same area with Jiang Hui to watch the ceremony were not only people from various automobile factories, but also representatives of personnel from other factories under the First Ministry of Machine Building.

"Director Jiang, we have completed the design of our large-tonnage stamping machine and are currently preparing the prototype. There will be no problem in completing the assembly of the prototype in the first half of next year."

"After visiting today's event, if you have time, you can come to our factory for on-site guidance."

As the chief engineer of Ji'er Machine Tool Factory, Zhang Sheng is a technical celebrity in the machine tool industry. He has been awarded the title of "Model Worker" and was invited to attend this ceremony.

Originally, he was still a few meters away from Jiang Hui, but the management in the small area was not that strict, so he just moved over.

"Congratulations, Chief Engineer Zhang."

"In the next few years, I estimate that many international auto giants will consider establishing joint ventures in China. After your stamping machine technology has achieved a breakthrough, you will no longer have to worry about orders in the future."

Jiang Hui is quite confident about the production capacity of the stamping equipment of Ji'er Machine Tool Plant, especially the technical capabilities of the relatively simple single stamping machines.

The parts structure on the four doors and two covers of a car is relatively fixed, and the processes include blanking, forming, punching, shaping, and flanging.

Therefore, if you want to do these processes well, you just need to carry out targeted research.

Once you have a successful product, the difficulty of continuing to expand horizontally to other parts will be much lower.

Many times, going from zero to one is a very difficult thing, but going from one to two is much easier.

So even though China's technological levels in various industries are not very high at this time, the technology in various industries is still relatively comprehensive.

To put it bluntly, China has basically mastered the complete industrial production capabilities of the entire industrial chain.

As long as enough time is given, after all industries have achieved upgrading and transformation in the future, they will be able to burst out with unparalleled competitiveness.

China's progress in this area was relatively slow in later generations. It was not until the 21st century that the various capabilities of the entire industry were gradually completed.

Now with the appearance of Jiang Hui, he feels that this process can be accelerated by ten years.

In the automotive industry, there is every hope of making progress by 20 years.

By then, the whole of China will surely present a completely different situation.

Especially in the critical 1980s, China and the United States had a quasi-alliance relationship during this period.

China has the opportunity to obtain almost any technical equipment from America.

The prerequisite is that you are willing to pay normally, or give others enough reasons.

For example, if it has something to do with fighting against polar bears, then the attitude of the United States will change greatly.

Many people have not fully realized this, and Jiang Hui has no way of shouting about it.

After all, apart from Jiang Hui, no one knew that after the ten-year honeymoon period, the relationship between China and the United States had undergone major changes. Especially after the collapse of the polar bear, the situation was even more different.

"Thanks to your good words, I hope our stamping production line can quickly gain everyone's recognition."

"However, judging from the current situation, not every OEM can support the development of domestic equipment as much as you do, Director Jiang."

"The new factories that Shouqi Jeep and Shanghai Volkswagen are building are going to use stamping production lines imported from abroad."

"Not only does it consume a lot of foreign exchange resources, but the price is also higher than ours."

"I learned about the performance of the stamping production line purchased by the other party, and it is actually not much different from what our factory provides."

As an expert in the press industry, Zhang Sheng is naturally very concerned about the various situations of industry customers.

I originally wanted to make a big splash, but I soon discovered that expanding the market is not that easy.

Because of this, he was more aware of how much support BMW was giving him.

As a purely foreign-funded enterprise, they not only gave up the plan to import equipment from abroad, but also directly provided technical support to Ji'er Machine Tool Factory.

Although Ji'er Machine Tool Factory also gave the greatest return on the selling price of the machine tools, and Ji'er did not bargain for the machine tool motor products provided by BMW Motor.

But compared to the support, these are nothing.

"The new generation of large-scale stamping production lines used in your automobile stamping workshops have not yet been officially mass-produced, and those automobile manufacturers can still make excuses."

"Once we, BMW, officially use the production line you provide to mass-produce models next year, other manufacturers will have no excuse in this regard."

"If anyone dares to use imported equipment when you can provide the same type of equipment, you can directly complain to the ministry."

"The foreign exchange quota is so tight. It is earned bit by bit by each factory. How can we allow it to be wasted like this?"

Jiang Hui casually gave Zhang Sheng a suggestion.

Anyway, when it comes to asking for policies from the ministry, old state-owned enterprises such as the Ji'er Machine Tool Factory are very experienced.

"That makes sense. BMW is now the largest-selling car manufacturer in China. When your sedans go into mass production in the future, they will also become the best-selling sedan products in China."

"By then, there will certainly be personnel from many ministries and commissions visiting the BMW plant."

"When other car factories invest in new workshops, if they ignore our domestically produced equipment and insist on importing it, I will not be polite."

Zhang Sheng rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work.

The level of Ji'er Machine Tool Plant is half a level lower than that of FAW and Second FAW, but it is no lower than any other automobile factory.

Zhang Sheng, who will soon become the new director of Ji'er Machine Tool Factory, will never allow any factory to hinder their development.

They want to be leading enterprises in the domestic equipment industry and enterprises that can export and earn foreign exchange.

……

"Old Zhu, you have been on a roll these past few years, with all kinds of scientific research results popping up one after another."

As the vice president of Capital University of Science and Technology, Zou Yuan has made very rapid progress in recent years.

From a professor of the Department of Iron and Steel Metallurgy to the department head, the Capital Iron and Steel Institute and the Capital Institute of Technology were renamed together to become Capital University of Science and Technology.

As the main promoter, Zou Yuan suddenly became the dean of the School of Metallurgy.

As a domestic expert in high-strength automotive steel plates, Zou Yuan has presided over the development of several high-strength automotive steel plates in recent years, enabling domestic automotive steel plate technology to quickly catch up with international levels.

Zou Yuan also became a well-known scholar under the Ministry of Metallurgy and was promoted to vice president of Capital University of Science and Technology.

However, the level of Capital University of Science and Technology is only half a level lower than that of Capital Polytechnic University itself. The level between Vice President Zou Yuan and President Zhu Jiansheng is two levels lower.

They were classmates at Huaqing University. Their social statuses were highly similar in the first half of their lives, but now the gap is widening. No wonder Zou Yuan was quite emotional.

"Old Zou, you are not bad. In the domestic automotive steel plate industry, if you dare to say you are second, no one dares to say you are first."

"Because of the cooperation with you in developing automobile steel plates, Capital Steel has now become the largest automobile steel plate manufacturer in China, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction at Anshan Iron and Steel."

Zhu Jiansheng was naturally very familiar with his old classmate Zou Yuan.

The projects developed by Zhu Jiansheng themselves require the use of a large amount of steel plates.

For example, the hot-rolled high-strength galvanized steel plates used on the chassis of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers achieved a technological breakthrough under the leadership of Zou Yuan.

"My research is all focused on the same type of steel plate raw material. My influence is totally incomparable to yours."

"Products like the ones you made, such as the Hummer military vehicle, have now become the most numerous military vehicle equipped by relevant departments, quickly replacing various models such as the BJ212, and even some of them are exported to various countries every year to earn foreign exchange."

"As for the intercontinental ballistic missile launcher, that goes without saying. It will appear directly before everyone's eyes during the military parade later."

"As the only country in the world that mass-produces 12-axle intercontinental ballistic missile launchers, you, the person in charge of this project, will definitely receive huge attention."

The intercontinental ballistic missile launchers exported to the United States by the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory have begun to be delivered one after another, and the relevant technical data has been handed over.

In this situation, people like Zou Yuan in the system naturally knew that Zhu Jiansheng had developed such a heavyweight product as the intercontinental ballistic missile launcher.

In the face of such a comprehensive and heavyweight product, the high-strength automotive steel plate developed by Zou Yuan naturally has no way to compare.

“Although I am the project leader of this product, the fact that we were able to produce results so quickly is mainly the result of the joint efforts of the entire School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, and even the teachers and students of the entire school.”

"There are still many areas of performance that need to be further improved on this product, and there is still much work to be done in the future."

Zhu Jiansheng naturally had to be humble at this time.

The results are there, no matter how modest he is, everyone knows his contribution.

In this case, there is naturally no need to be so high-profile.

“It is normal for a product to need continuous upgrading after it is developed.”

"You were able to lead everyone to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile launcher. Even the United States was willing to spend a huge price to import related technology from us, making a significant contribution to the technological cooperation between the two countries. There are not many examples of this kind of achievement in the whole country."

"You have a good son-in-law."

Zou Yuan understood the actual situation and he really regretted that he didn't have a beautiful daughter.
