In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 350: Long Yaohua wanted to give the Y-10 to Harbin Institute of Technology; but was betrayed by Factory 122.

"Brother Yunlong, is there really no internal martial arts technique? I don't need to cultivate it to the point of projecting true qi outwards, just enough to spread it throughout the body to block bullets..."

"..."

Chu Yunlong's lips twitched repeatedly.

Having served as a bodyguard in the Imperial Guard for over ten years and carried out countless missions, I have never encountered a mission subject as shameless and utterly devoid of any sense of boundaries as this.

What does it mean to know how to perform light-body skills, like flying over rooftops and leaping seven or eight zhang at a time?

What kind of invulnerability, like a golden bell or iron shirt, impervious to swords and spears, or water and fire?
What kind of thing is a brick hanging from the crotch...?

Is that polite?
Especially calling himself Brother Yunlong!
The People's Republic of China has been established for several decades, and the bandits have long been wiped out.

Little did he know that in Xie Wei's eyes, his name had become a combination of Brother Chu and Brother Yunlong.
"Uh, well, Director Xie, it's getting late, it's time to board the plane..."

Another younger guard with a sword spoke up to remind Xie Wei, who was already finding it hard to stand the endless questions he asked, yet Captain Chu, who was already on the verge of exploding, hadn't exploded yet.

"Oh, it's almost time. Although the skies over the capital aren't too busy right now, our little plane is flying too slowly, so we'll have to stop and refuel halfway through the journey..."

Xie Wei nodded, then looked at Chu Yunlong and asked, "Brother Yunlong, you guys can fly planes, right?"

"Director Xie, the training we receive is a state secret."

Finally, Chu Yunlong could no longer hold back. With a dark face, he squeezed out a cold reply through gritted teeth.

"..."

Even Li Rui, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. He wondered what Xie Wei's purpose was in deliberately provoking Chu Yunfei like this.

curious?

Principal Li, who knows Xie Wei well, would never believe it.

"Xie Wei, it's getting late, you should head back now. I have something to do, so I have to go back first."

After finishing speaking, Li Rui showed no hesitation, turned around, got into the car, and instructed the driver to drive away quickly.

Watching the old man leave, Xie Wei pursed his lips but didn't say anything more.

The old man was quite virtuous; knowing he was being "monitored," he actually gave him a couple of mother plants of Da Hong Pao tea that he had taken from Minister Song.

The pained look on his face when he gave it to Xie Wei almost made him reluctant to accept it.

"Is this the school's plane?"

Seeing the logo on the Y-11 parked at the airport, the young Wei Yong was somewhat surprised. He had been in the Imperial Guard for quite some time and had carried out many protection missions for big shots, but few of them had their own private jets.

How could Xie Wei, who looks so young, have a private jet?
"Yes. After Factory 122 lost its production plans for the H-5 and Z-5 helicopters, it was struggling to survive. So they approached the school and tricked Old Man Li, who knew nothing about aviation, into buying one of these. It wasn't good for it to just sit in their factory, so anyone from the school who had an emergency used this plane."

Xie Wei explained the situation as he walked towards the Y-11.

The story was as it was, but the way Xie Wei told it made it sound extraordinary.

"Director Xie, there's really no need for this. Before I came, all your records, including your bedwetting at age 7, your tricking of little girls into going home at age 8, and your..."

"Rumors! Pure slander!"

Xie Wei's lips twitched. Damn it, it was the original owner who did it, but he had to bear the consequences.

Chu Yunlong looked calmly at Xie Wei and said, "Let's be frank, there's no need for this. As long as you're not planning to flee abroad, we'll be your bodyguards..."

"Uh, what's all this about?"

Xie Wei hadn't expected Chu Yunlong to be so difficult to deal with.

He flipped the table right then and there!
How can we play then?

Chu Yunlong looked at Xie Wei without answering. They had already retired and their destinations were already decided. They were just waiting to set off for their posts when they were transferred to Harbin Institute of Technology to be bodyguards for a young man whose name they had never heard of before!
After seeing the information, I thought it was nothing.

Long Yaohua, however, called him aside to his office and specifically addressed Xie Wei's various situations, taking up half an hour of the leader's time!

"I really want to learn martial arts. Even if I don't want to dominate the martial arts world, at least it can help me improve my health."

Xie Wei changed the subject.

"Director Xie, we've been instructed that once you return to school, we will create a special exercise plan for you, with one hour of exercise time every day..."

Wei Yong grinned.

What the hell?

Xie Wei was completely dumbfounded.

I never expected that old guy Long Yaohua to be so cunning, even scheming about these things.

Li Ruixian went to Long Yaohua's place.

It was already dark, but Long Yaohua was still in his office processing documents.

"gone?"

"gone."

"Not throwing a tantrum?"

"No, but after I introduced him to Chu Yunlong and Wei Yong, he kept pestering me about martial arts, wanting to become a martial arts master who can leap over rooftops and is invulnerable to swords and spears..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Long Yaohua's lips twitched. He was secretly glad that he had called Chu Yunlong over in advance and was even more glad that he had chosen Chu Yunlong instead of someone else.

"He still doesn't want to take over the Y-10 project?"

Soon, Long Yaohua changed the subject, saying, "The test flights of the Y-10 are progressing very well, but the country can no longer afford to continue. The military can't support it either."

“He is very resistant to this matter.”

Li Rui shook his head.

From the initial tentative purchase of Y-11 transport aircraft to the numerous times it has been mentioned since, the general public generally supports domestically produced large aircraft, seeing them as a powerful national asset that can enhance national pride.

Xie Wei was enthusiastic about advanced large-scale projects and equipment. He gave his all to supporting projects such as third-generation tanks, third-generation fighter jets, long-range rocket artillery, more advanced air defense missiles, and core machines.

Unexpectedly, he resolutely resisted the Y-10.

"He said that Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) is a subordinate unit of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, and should be primarily focused on aerospace technology. Its projects should be related to rockets, missiles, or even satellites... The Y-10 falls under the business scope of the Third Ministry of Machinery Industry, which is Northwestern Polytechnical University's domain..."

Li Rui looked helpless.

"Bullshit! When he wanted to launch Project No. 10, didn't he forget that Harbin Institute of Technology was a unit of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry?"

Long Yaohua slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Shameless!
It's so shameless.

Thinking of Xie Wei's shamelessness, I immediately recalled how he smoothly snatched the gold Zippo that I had with me for almost thirty years and the two tea bricks that I couldn't bear to drink from my hands that morning, and my heart began to ache again.

"That's different..."

"What's the difference? Xie Wei learned his scoundrel attitude from you! A principal shouldn't be setting a good example for students..."

Upon hearing Li Rui's words, Long Yaohua immediately recalled that Li Rui's shamelessness was quite well-known among the higher-ups.

It's all because Li Rui failed to set a good example!
Now that he's been promoted, he's starting to care about his reputation.

"..."

Li Rui looked helpless and inwardly cried out that he was wronged. Xie Wei's shamelessness was far beyond his own, so how could it be his influence?

He also knew that there was no point in reasoning with Long Yaohua at this point. After the Y-10 obtained a series of data during its test flights, the design team began to propose a modification plan, which involved opening a large opening on the front left of the fuselage to convert it into a passenger and cargo aircraft with a maximum cargo load of 35 to 40 tons and the ability to carry 12 containers inside. Such a design was very attractive to the Air Force, which lacked large and medium-sized military transport aircraft.

In particular, Xie Wei persuaded Northwestern Polytechnical University to develop an early warning aircraft, and the Y-10 was modified into a wide-body aircraft, which was the best carrier platform.

"Sir, Xie Wei said that the Air Force currently does not even have advanced fighter jets to maintain airspace, and the annual military budget is small, so the demand for large transport aircraft is not high."

"Just because we don't need it now doesn't mean we won't need it later?" Long Yaohua raised an eyebrow and glared at Li Rui. "What's his reason? Tell me honestly!"

It was obvious that Long Yaohua knew that Li Rui was using the reasons others were opposing Xie Weicai to defend him.

"The supporting infrastructure couldn't keep up! When I was still the principal, Xie Wei had already learned a lot about the Y-10. From the service life of core components such as the WS-8 turbofan engine, he analyzed that the problems were not only due to insufficient material strength, but also the inadequacy of the manufacturing process and supporting equipment... And the Y-10's main beam had problems with the segmented forging and welding process..."

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Li Rui simply told the truth about the Y-10.

There are absolutely no problems with the design.

The problem lies in the manufacturing process!
"The Y-10 project has problems. If the project is completely shut down, all the supporting infrastructure invested in over the years will be wasted. Producing just two or three test aircraft each year is enough to support continued research and development... And your university-enterprise cooperation office can also collaborate with those supporting units, utilizing their advanced production equipment and experience to reduce production costs..."

Long Yaohua's expression turned serious.

He didn't talk directly to Xie Wei, not because he didn't want to, but because Xie Wei had been resisting the Y-10 from the very beginning.

The school currently has many projects, and several key military projects have huge funding needs, but the military can not provide much support in terms of funding. This makes it difficult for the military leaders to talk to Xie Wei about increasing the school's expenses.

Xie Wei actually knew that too.

Li Rui sighed, "He said that the university alone cannot support the project, so he has always hoped to cooperate with various institutions... However, not all institutions are willing to invest everything in scientific research."

"Are we just going to give up like this?"

Long Yaohua's tone was full of exhaustion.

Li Rui didn't respond.

When the plane landed at Factory 122, the factory director, Huo Guoqiang, disregarded his status and personally greeted Xie Wei at the airport.

"Director Huo, are you aware of the sales situation of the Hongguang minivan?"

Without exchanging pleasantries or considering that the other party was several levels higher than him, Xie Wei questioned Huo Guoqiang with a stern face.

"So fierce?"

Wei Yong was astonished to see Xie Wei treat Huo Guoqiang, the director of a large factory, with such a terrible attitude.

On the plane, Xie Wei didn't pester him anymore about whether he knew martial arts or anything like that, and they barely even talked.

Aside from sleeping, he would just sit there writing and drawing, or stare blankly at the night sky through the small porthole on the side of the fuselage; no one knew what he was thinking.

"Shut up, listen and observe more, and speak less!"

Chu Yunlong reminded Wei Yong.

"No, that's the director of a big factory! Xie Wei is just a section chief, isn't he?"

Wei Yong found it somewhat difficult to understand.

What I see now completely overturns everything I saw when I was on a mission, as if administrative rank is useless here?

Chu Yunlong glared at Wei Yong, who then shut up sheepishly.

This was not unexpected for Chu Yunlong.

He transferred from the 8341 unit to civilian work, and should be at the administrative level of a division chief.

however……

But he's here to be Xie Wei's bodyguard, a young man at the level of section chief. Wei Yong, that idiot, can't he even see that?

"I know! I know!"

Faced with Xie Wei's questioning tone, Huo Guoqiang smiled ingratiatingly, "Production can't keep up... That's why Secretary Lin Tao and Chief Engineer Liu Jianyun are both at the supply factory right now, and I just got back..."

"Just a supplier? According to the previous plan, our monthly production should be able to reach 1000 vehicles!"

Xie Wei said as he walked forward, his expression showing no improvement, "The market is good now. If we don't increase production and make more money, will the market wait for us when the international giants come in?"

"Yes, yes, you're right, this is something we didn't consider before..."

Huo Guoqiang apologized profusely.

It's all money!

Each vehicle produced means a gross profit of 4000 yuan and a net profit of over 3000 yuan.

The current production capacity brings Harbin Aircraft Industry Group (HAIG) more than 300 million yuan in net profit every month. As the factory director, he can stand up straight now and speak with more confidence when he goes out to meetings.

They were all brought by Xie Wei.

Moreover, Xie Wei got angry because Hafei was not well prepared beforehand and did not meet Xie Wei's requirement to guarantee production from the beginning.

Ultimately, it was because the leaders of Factory 122 didn't trust Xie Wei and were afraid to invest too much in production capacity.

Soon, we arrived at the car production workshop.

The workshop was converted from the original H-5 assembly workshop of Factory 122.

The H-5 is a small aircraft and does not use advanced assembly lines and assembly methods. In addition, there are almost no orders for the Z-5. According to the requirements of the higher authorities, Factory 122 must retain the production capacity of the H-5 and Z-5.

Both types of equipment have basically ceased production, and the few remaining pieces of equipment have been moved to one workshop.

There was no assembly line in the huge workshop. At Xie Wei's suggestion, Professor Qiao Geli and the faculty and students of the Department of Vehicle Engineering designed the current assembly process: the vehicles do not move, and the workers of each process move around.

For example, when assembling car doors, the assembly starts from the very first car on the production line and continues until the very last car. Once the first car is almost finished being assembled and rolled off the line, the new chassis is placed at the very front...

no way.

The school's vehicle engineering department had absolutely no experience or foundation in designing automobile assembly lines.

The in-depth cooperation with Factory 122 also takes into account the need for the school's Department of Vehicle Engineering to accumulate relevant technologies and experience. In addition to theoretical learning, half of the teachers and students of Harbin Institute of Technology's Department of Vehicle Engineering are on the automobile production line of Factory 122, and the other half are in the school's tank workshop.

"This workshop has a total of 5 production lines, with more than 30 cars per line, right?"

Looking at the workshop, Xie Wei frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

Based on the current situation, each batch should consist of at least 150 vehicles.

"Before the Lunar New Year, we found more supporting processing plants, and this month's production can exceed 800 vehicles. By May, the adjacent workshop will be completed, and the monthly output can reach 2000 vehicles..."

Xie Wei's brows furrowed even more.

800 vehicles!
A batch of 150 vehicles means that it would be difficult to complete six cycles within a month using the current production model.

It will take 5 days to complete all the processes for 30 vehicles?
What a fuss!

With doubts in his mind, Xie Wei did not ask on the spot.

"It seems that the monthly supply in Huadu is only 100 vehicles?"

When Xie Wei asked about the supply volume to Huadu, Huo Guoqiang paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and replied with a smile, "Previously, production was low, and we needed to distribute goods to various places. Huadu received the largest supply..."

Xie Wei stared at Huo Guoqiang for a long time, but Huo Guoqiang didn't dare to meet Xie Wei's gaze.

Wei Yong, who was following behind Xie Wei, was even more shocked: Xie Wei, who was of a lower rank, acted like a superior, and Huo Guoqiang dared not meet his gaze.

"Xie Wei, have some food before you leave. Everything's been arranged at the factory..."

Xie Wei took a walk around the automobile production workshop of Factory 122 and gained an understanding of the situation, but his doubts deepened—given Factory 122's production model and the number of parts circulating in the warehouse, the output was definitely more than 800 vehicles!
As for Huadu, only one shipment was sent there!
"No, I have a lot of things to do at school, otherwise I wouldn't be back for a while..."

Xie Wei refused outright.

There's a problem with Factory 122 right now; I have to go back to the school to find out.

"Factory manager, what if he finds out?"

After Xie Wei got into the Hongguang provided by the factory, the young man following behind Xie Wei immediately told the factory driver to sit in the passenger seat while he drove. Huo Guoqiang frowned.

His secretary looked worried.
