King of Industry

In the small car, Zhao Guoyang gave his answer clearly to the question of Senior Official Zhuo - he had no intention of further study for the time being, and he still hoped to make a career in the factory.

Zhao Guoyang's frankness surprised Senior Official Zhuo.

If it was a young man who got this promise from a high-ranking official, he would definitely enter the agency without looking back.

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang's statement did not seem to be fake, Gao Guan Zhuo did not continue this topic on the road, but asked Zhao Guoyang's ambition in Hongda Machinery Factory.

Regarding this question, Zhao Guoyang was quite reserved. He didn't say anything big. He just talked about a few short-term goals in the factory, such as how much sales increased, how much profit increased, and the output of new products.

Hearing Zhao Guoyang's orderly and not exaggerated words, Senior Official Zhuo nodded secretly.

...

From SJ City back to Jinling City, a distance of 300 kilometers, the car took more than four hours to arrive.

There is no way, some sections of Songling Expressway are still under construction, and the only way to travel between the two places is through secondary roads, so the speed will naturally drop.

After arriving in Jinling City, under the arrangement of Director Wang, Zhao Guoyang rested overnight in the guest house of the Provincial Machine Works Committee.

In the morning of the next day, together with Liu Yaohong, they were picked up by a car from the Guangling Machinery Industry Committee.

Before leaving, Wang Ziqing specially met Zhao Guoyang and Liu Yaohong at the Machine Works Committee. He patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder with a smile and said, in a few days, he will go to his Hongda Machinery Factory for investigation and research.

For this, Zhao Guoyang didn't think there was anything abrupt, but expressed his gratitude to Director Wang tactfully.

As for Liu Yaohong on the side, he was overjoyed after hearing Director Wang's statement. So much so that after getting in the car, he kept telling Zhao Guoyang something.

The general idea is that he must report to Director Mu after returning to the factory, and make thorough preparations for Director Wang's possible investigation.

It should be said that during this trip to Songjiang, Liu Yaohong was really shocked by Zhao Guoyang.

He never expected that this young man's attainments in the mechanical industry are so profound that it can't even be described as magical.

The current Liu Yaohong is like a treasure to Zhao Guoyang.

Although Liu Yaohong did not personally attend the summit forum, on the way back to Jinling, he listened to researcher Zhao Siyan explain the situation in detail.

As a professional cadre with a non-professional background, Liu Yaohong looks at problems more intuitively.

In his eyes, titles such as experts, professors, and researchers are just titles, not as important as actual work ability.

And Zhao Guoyang's ability in this area undoubtedly surpassed many people with various titles.

Originally, according to the distance, the car should first send Director Liu to Guangling City, and then Zhao Guoyang would take a car from Guangling back to Ninghai City.

But under Director Liu's insistence, Zhao Guoyang could only follow his will and let him send him back to Ninghai City first.

After arriving in Ninghai City, Liu Yaohong's car sent Zhao Guoyang to Hongda Machinery Factory before giving up.

At the gate of Hongda Machinery Factory, Liu Yaohong smiled and shook hands with Director Mu and Secretary Zhang Shu* who came over after hearing the news, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left.

When parting, Liu Yaohong did not forget to praise Zhao Guoyang to Director Mu: "Director Mu, your Hongda Machinery Factory has a better vision. Guoyang is such an excellent technical cadre, but he is locked up by your factory just like this."

"Do you know that even Mr. Mao, the chairman of Songqi Group, is full of praise for Guoyang, saying that he will be invited to stay in Songqi Group with a high salary..."

Mu Aijun and Zhang Zhizhong heard the words, you looked at me, I looked at you, they all looked confused.

Seeing the puzzled looks of these two, Liu Yaohong didn't say much, raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Ah, Director Mu, you can ask Guoyang to find out. I have a meeting this afternoon. I won't stay..."

After being flattered and killed by Director Liu for a while, Zhao Guoyang felt a little helpless.

He glanced at Director Mu and Secretary Zhang Shu* looking at him with astonishing eyes, he could only scratch his head and said: "Well, Director Mu and Secretary Zhang Shu*, why don't we go back to the factory first, Shall I report to you two again?"

Naturally, Mu Aijun and Zhang Zhizhong agreed to Zhao Guoyang's proposal.

In the factory director's office, Zhao Guoyang roughly told the two leaders about the trip to Songjiang.

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's report, the two leaders gasped.

"The factory manager, Songqi Group, is a large state-owned enterprise at the vice-ministerial level. I'm afraid Chairman Mao is more than at the departmental level?" Zhang Zhizhong asked with a hint of doubt.

Mu Aijun is the cadre with the highest administrative level in the entire Hongda Machinery Factory, and is at the director level.

In contrast, Zhang Zhizhong, strictly speaking, is just a department-level cadre, enjoying the treatment of deputy director-level.

Moreover, Mu Aijun's background is deep, and it is rumored that he has roots in the central ministries and commissions. With such a strong factory director, Zhang Zhizhong, the secretary, was naturally much weaker.

Mu Aijun has the final say on major and minor matters in the factory. Zhang Zhizhong follows the lead of director Mu in everything.

After Zhang Zhizhong asked this question, Mu Aijun nodded and said, "Well, Songqi Group is a vice-ministerial enterprise under the State-owned Enterprise Administration Bureau, and its chairman is indeed a vice-ministerial cadre..."

After confirming his guess, Zhang Zhizhong was even more surprised: "The senior executives at the vice-ministerial level tried their best to invite our Guoyang to work in their company. This...is too unbelievable."

Just as Zhang Zhizhong finished marveling, Ma Jian's familiar voice sounded outside: "Secretary Zhang, there is nothing incredible. I am in SJ City, but I saw with my own eyes Director Wang of our Jiangnan Province, looking at our country like a baby. What about Yang..."

Seeing Ma Jian coming in, Zhao Guoyang quickly got up from the sofa and said hello to him.

"Come on, you're welcome, Guoyang, take yours." Ma Jian waved his hand cheerfully, handed cigarettes to Mu Aijun and Zhang Zhizhong in turn, and finally threw one to Zhao Guoyang.

After lighting a cigarette, Ma Jian explained to Mu Aijun: "Director, this time I went to SJ City to purchase a laser spot welding machine, and I have seen the power of Guoyang. Managers who have been dealing in imported products for many years have to obey..."

Of course, Mu Aijun and Zhang Zhizhong couldn't doubt Ma Jian's words. The two looked at each other, and they could see the unconcealable shock in each other's eyes.

Facing the surprised gazes of the three leaders from time to time, Zhao Guoyang blinked and looked helpless.

"Well, Director Mu, if there is nothing wrong with you, I want to go to the technical department to have a look. During the few days of business trip, I don't know how the welding of the fifty frames is going..." Zhao Guoyang finally thought of it A reason, got up and said.

"Ah, it's alright, you go to hell!" Seeing Zhao Guoyang standing up, Mu Aijun finally came to his senses and nodded in response.
