"The leaders of the municipal party committee are very dissatisfied with the prototype car we manufactured. I heard that they are already communicating with the head office and requesting that other auto repair shops be replaced to take over the task of manufacturing the prototype car."
Producing prototype cars is a political task, so many brother factories are helping out at a loss.
Without the support of the municipal party committee leaders, not to mention the human support from other auto repair shops, they would not be able to buy even those auto parts that need to be customized.
In fact, among everyone present, Director Tian is the one who hopes to succeed the most.
But the cruel reality was before him, and he had to give in.
"I think the new Red Star car designed by Xiao Cao is very good, but the factory has financial difficulties and can no longer invest in research and development." Director Tian finally concluded.
His words were like a basin of ice water, poured into everyone's hearts without reservation.
Everyone was silent.
Yes, if you don’t have money, how can you talk about building a car?
We can’t let everyone go hungry.
At this moment, Cao Weidong stood up and said:
"Director Tian, can you give me a chance to chat with the leaders of the municipal party committee?"
Director Tian was stunned and asked: "Are you sure?"
Cao Weidong glanced at the progress bar and knew that he must get the support of the municipal party committee next, so he said with certainty: "I want to try, but I can't do nothing."
Factory Director Tian took a deep look at Cao Weidong, gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the head of the main factory and I will definitely help you get a chance."
"Yeah. Thank you."
In the next few days, Cao Weidong checked in at the steel rolling mill during the day, and then secretly drove to Jinghong Auto Repair Factory to sort out information.
From vehicle concept design to engineering design, prototype vehicle budget, parts manufacturing issues, and blueprint drawing...
There are all kinds of things, and finally they are combined into a complete vehicle development plan.
Since he took care of Li Pingan in advance and gave him two small white wax pills, Li Pingan turned a blind eye to his skipping work.
In the evening, Cao Weidong would go to An Wenyao's home to urge him to practice his eloquence.
These days, An Wenyao has changed a lot.
He has been able to teach in an emotional tone without any stumbling.
This made An Wenyao overjoyed.
He feels his own growth.
"Teacher Cao, you are so amazing. I have only practiced for a few days and I can already feel the changes in myself." An Wenyao sighed sincerely.
Cao Weidong said casually: "It's not me who's great, it's you. You were born for education."
"The future must be your world! From now on, you will be filled with peaches and plums all over the world!"
An Wenyao was so praised by Cao Weidong that he was so immersed in the beautiful blueprint that he couldn't extricate himself.
During the rest of the time, Cao Weidong transformed into a master of time management, treating Liang Ladi, Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e equally, without favoring anyone, which was extremely fair.
The days were spent so comfortably and leisurely.
On this day, Director Tian found Cao Weidong.
"Xiao Cao, I have made an appointment with the leaders of the municipal party committee. We will go to the cadre compound today to talk to Leader Huang about the prototype car."
Cao Weidong took a deep breath.
Success or failure depends on this.
He took the vehicle plans and automobile clay sculptures that he had sorted out, and followed Director Tian outside.
.......
Cadre compound, in a high-end western-style building.
The senior leader and his wife were sitting together, listening to the security guards talking about An Wenyao.
"That's just the way it is."
"Comrade An Wenyao practices his eloquence with Comrade Cao Weidong every day, and his progress is very rapid now."
The guard knew what the leader's wife wanted to hear. When he talked about An Wenyao, he had endless good things to say, and even praised Cao Weidong to the sky.
The leader's wife nodded frequently and said with a smile: "Xiao Yao is really promising and pursuing his dream is a good thing."
But the big leader frowned and said: "How can he be promising? If you ask me, he should join the army."
The leader's wife asked angrily: "Why are you mentioning this matter again? Didn't we agree that the child should be allowed to do whatever he wants? This is not the past. Who said that it is wrong not to be a soldier?"
The big leader was stubborn and had a few arguments with his wife.
He is a cadre who came out of the army and has a deep affection for the army. He believes that his son will also become a soldier in the future.
Several of An Wenyao's brothers and sisters have all gone to the military.
And have their own development.
But the leader’s wife had loved An Wenyao, his younger son, since he was a child. Under her care, An Wenyao embarked on a different path.
"Hey, it's all because of you."
The big leader scolded him and left angrily.
The leader's wife was like a victorious peacock, happily saying to the guard: "Xiao Wang, hurry up, tell me about Xiao Yao again."
.......
The top leaders live in the cadre compound, and several leaders often move around during their free time.
After leaving home, he thought about playing chess with Lao Huang and chatting a few words.
Knocking on the other party's door, the secretary greeted him with an apology in his tone:
"Leader An, you are here. Our leader is meeting guests in the living room. I will take you to other rooms to rest for a while."
The big leader nodded and asked casually: "Who is it? Why are you looking for Lao Huang at this time?"
The secretary blurted out almost without thinking: "It's Director Tian from the Jinghong Automobile Repair Plant, and Comrade Cao Weidong from the Steel Rolling Plant. They came to our leaders to discuss manufacturing prototype cars."
The big leader's steps stagnated, and his expression became serious: "Is Cao Weidong from the steel rolling mill the deputy director in charge of the logistics department?"
The secretary was shocked.
He got Cao Weidong's background information, so he knew it. He didn't expect that Leader An also wanted to know about Cao Weidong.
And look at this...
There won’t be any grudge between the two of them, right?
Thinking of this, the secretary said nervously: "Yes."
The big leader said directly to the secretary: "Take me to the living room."
When he entered the living room, the first thing he saw was the clay model placed on the table.
The big leader’s eyes were straightened.
He swore that in all his life, he had never seen such a beautiful car model.
Thinking this way, his steps became lighter.
Leader Huang also saw Leader An at this time, and waved with a smile: "Old An, come over quickly and have a look, I will share a good thing with you."
The big leader walked over and said casually: "I heard that you are planning to build a prototype car. This is the prototype car model. It looks pretty good, and there is no shadow of other cars. It's really good."
Seeing the praise from Leader An, Leader Huang accepted it with satisfaction.
He handed the clay model to Leader An, and then said: "Xiao Cao, Jinghong Auto Repair Factory has failed once, I will give you a chance to convince me."
Cao Weidong took out the car plan he had compiled and started talking about it.
He did not analyze the reasons for the failure of the first prototype car manufacturing, but planned a blueprint for Leader Huang.
Leader Huang looked at this detailed plan and was a little moved.
"How confident are you if you continue to build cars?"
Cao Weidong said with confidence: "I am 100% sure!"
