King of Industry

"Director Mu, before analyzing the prospect of the 'beach buggy' project, let me give you a brief introduction to what a 'beach buggy' is!"

When Zhao Guoyang said this, Ding Yanhong and Mu Yiyi happened to come out of the kitchen holding two dishes.

When Mu Yiyi heard Zhao Guoyang's words, her eyes lit up.

She trotted over to put the dishes away, then quickly sat beside Zhao Guoyang, resting her chin on her hands, and listened attentively to what he said next.

Zhao Guoyang glanced at her curiously, but didn't say much, just talked about what he knew about this "beach buggy".

"ATV is the English name of all-terrain vehicle - the abbreviation of All Terrain Vehicle, that is, a means of transportation suitable for all terrains. Therefore, it is also known as an all-terrain four-wheel off-road vehicle."

Seeing Mu Aijun, Mu Yiyi, father and daughter listening carefully, Ding Yanhong opened his mouth and did not disturb for a while.

Zhao Guoyang’s speech was still going on, and he said word by word: “In the Europa League and the North American Economic Cooperation Zone, ATV, UTV, BAJA, Go-kart, and off-road two-wheeled motorcycles are collectively called ORV. , that is, off-road vehicles.”

"Actually, whether it is an ATV or an ORV, it is difficult for us to use a simple Chinese name to summarize the overall performance of this vehicle."

"According to its appearance, we in China reluctantly translated it as 'all-terrain four-wheel off-road motorcycle' before, but everyone thought it was a mouthful."

"Later, after everyone gradually understood, they found that this kind of all-terrain vehicle has large tires, and the contact area with the ground can generate greater friction when driving."

"Combined with the unique tread pattern, the tire is not easy to idling and skids, and it is easy to drive on the sandy ground. Therefore, it is mistakenly called a 'beach car' in China, and gradually formed a practice..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Mu Yiyi nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Guoyang is right, when I was visiting Birmingham, England, there were young people driving this kind of 'beach buggy'. Yes , they just call it 'ATV' and 'UVT'!"

"According to some of my foreign friends, ATVs with good quality and excellent performance can not only drive on the beach, but also on river beds, forest roads, streams and even worse deserts. The function is brought into full play. It can be called an all-round mobile tool."

Mu Yiyi clenched her fist in high spirits and said, "Everyone says it is an excellent means of transportation and one of the great inventions of mankind."

"It is only limited by the local environment in England, otherwise it will definitely be one of the best transportation companions for people!"

"Guoyang, am I right?" After Mu Yiyi finished speaking, she didn't forget to ask Zhao Guoyang next to her.

Zhao Guoyang smiled and gestured "OK" to her.

Listening to Zhao Guoyang and his daughter's explanation, the expression on Mu Aijun's face obviously eased a lot.

Originally, after he received a call from the old leader in the morning, he felt uncertain for a while.

If you want to agree to participate in the competition, you are afraid that you are not sure; if you let go of this opportunity, you are afraid that you will regret it later. It is really a dilemma.

Now anyway, at least I have a general understanding of this kind of vehicle, and then I have to listen to Zhao Guoyang's analysis of its prospects.

Thinking about this, Mu Aijun couldn't help asking Zhao Guoyang: "Guoyang, after listening to your explanation, I understand what a 'beach car' is."

"However, according to Director Du, it is the first time that ATVs are involved in China. Whether it can open up the domestic market and how difficult it is to produce and design are all questions!"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang could not help but smile slightly.

He said calmly, "Director Mu, first of all, you can rest assured that as long as the all-terrain vehicle project can be launched, there will be absolutely no worries about sales. Whether it is domestic or foreign, it is widely used."

Zhao Guoyang turned his head to look at Mu Yiyi, smiled and said, "Just now Yiyi has already explained the performance of the all-terrain vehicle, and I will add something."

"This model has strong climbing ability and the ability to adapt to various terrains, and can freely drive in complex terrain areas such as beaches, jungles, mountains, snow, rivers, swamps, deserts, and grasslands."

"Director Mu, just imagine, if our factory really produces all-terrain vehicles, put them on our northern prairie, and gallop with cattle and sheep against the setting sun, what a magnificent scene it would be!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's introduction, even Ding Yanhong, who was beside Mu Aijun, looked forward to such a scene.

This Auntie Ding sighed and said, "Guoyang's words are really good, imagine it, it's so beautiful!"

Zhao Guoyang smiled at Aunt Ding to express his gratitude, and then said: "In addition to being used for sports competitions and leisure entertainment, all-terrain vehicles are used in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, petroleum, electric power, construction sites, mines, rescue, exploration, hunting, firefighting, etc. It can play a very important role in many fields such as the military.”

"Because this kind of all-terrain vehicle is very versatile, we don't have to worry about the problems in this market at all."

"Also, even if the domestic market is difficult to open for a while, I can ask my friends in Samba for help in overseas sales."

"Mr. Mu, you should know that the country of Samba has a large land area, and there are many places that need to use this kind of all-terrain vehicle..."

Zhao Guoyang took a short breath, and continued: "The only thing that still has doubts is the funding for early research and development and scientific research."

Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang glanced at Mu Aijun worriedly and said: "Director Mu, the all-terrain vehicle project is different from motorcycles. It is difficult to win the world with one model..."

"That is to say, we have to design at least two to three all-terrain vehicles at the same time for customers to choose from. Otherwise, our competitiveness in the market will be greatly reduced."

"But in this way, the investment in design funds will be much larger. Although our factory seems to be thriving at the moment, in terms of funds, it is actually not sufficient..."

Hearing this, Mu Aijun fully understood what Zhao Guoyang meant.

He knew that Zhao Guoyang's attitude towards whether this project should be launched was very positive.

However, the young man was a little worried that his factory did not have enough financial strength to support the motorcycle project that had just started and the all-terrain vehicle project at the same time.

Silently picking up the wine glass, Mu Aijun frowned deeply.

Seeing his wife's indecision, Ding Yanhong couldn't help saying: "Oh, Lao Mu, this kid Guoyang has already analyzed this for you, even I understand it, what else can you do?" Suspicious?"

"Since this project has broad prospects and is not worried about sales, then if you don't start the horse, you will give others opportunities in vain. At that time, you will have no place to regret it!"

Ding Yanhong is a woman with a low level of education, but she still understands the basic principles.

Although her words were straightforward, they still gave Mu Aijun a shot in the arm, making him no longer worried.

Mu Aijun finally made up his mind, he put down his wine glass heavily, slapped the table hard and said, "Okay, then our factory will actively fight for this opportunity!"

Zhao Guoyang seemed to have expected Director Mu's decision a long time ago, but he just raised the corners of his mouth, but he didn't seem too excited.

Seeing this, Mu Yiyi couldn't help but clapped her hands and cheered, "That's great, Dad. When your factory actually manufactures this kind of ATV, I'll recommend it to my English friends!"

Mu Aijun gave her daughter a loving look, and nodded comfortably.

Then he turned to Zhao Guoyang and said word by word: "Guoyang, I won't say too much if I need to. Given your understanding of 'beach buggy', you must be the leader of this project."

Zhao Guoyang nodded reservedly, not being pretentious.

"As for the funding, I have thought about it. I can still sell some old faces in Guangling City and Ninghai City. If I can really enter the list of the last three companies, I will pull down this old face and plead with the finance department. Allocate more money..."

When Zhao Guoyang heard the words, he nodded and agreed: "Well, our first task now is to pass the selection of the Mechanical Industry Division of the Inherent Assets Administration."

"Yes, Dad. Didn't you just say that there are 18 companies competing with your Hongda Machinery Factory. Are you so confident that you can compare with others?"

Mu Yiyi teased Mu Aijun on purpose, naturally to relieve her father's stress.

Mu Aijun was not angry at all when he heard the words.

He glanced at his daughter, pointed the chopsticks in his hand cheerfully to Zhao Guoyang and said, "If there is no Guoyang, I really don't have the confidence to compete with so many department-level state-owned enterprises for these three places."

"But now that I have him, I don't have to worry about that at all..."

Hearing Director Mu's spare no effort to praise him, Zhao Guoyang felt a sense of helplessness in his heart: this Director Mu has put all his treasures on himself, and he really thinks highly of himself...

Seeing that the business was almost done, Ding Yanhong said, "Oh, don't bother talking, this dish is going to be cold. Hurry up, Guoyang, come and try Auntie's braised octopus!"

"Ah, and this, green pepper sausage."

While talking, Ding Yanhong enthusiastically put vegetables in Zhao Guoyang's bowl, which made him a little helpless, so he could only keep saying, "Thank you, Auntie Ding, I'll just come by myself!"

"Hehe, you kid and Auntie Ding, why are you being so polite. Come on, try this again, soy sauce!"

When Mu Aijun and Mu Yiyi saw Ding Yanhong being courteous to Zhao Guoyang, they looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Now that the event has been decided, when Mu Aijun clinked glasses with Zhao Guoyang again, his mood was completely different.

He let out a "ziliu", and after drinking a cup, he slowly said, "Guoyang, although we have settled the matter, we still have to go through it at tomorrow's meeting."

"According to the timetable Director Du gave me in the morning, I must give him a definite answer before noon tomorrow. You may have to suffer more from the next few things..."
