Chapter 204 Another choice of life path, Jiang Hui’s unexpected thoughts
“Your performance in Annan during this period has been reported by many international media.”
“It’s true. It's a bit beyond everyone's expectations. You are still so powerful."
"Especially in a battle some time ago, the performance of the Humvee military vehicle was very surprising."
"I heard that this Hummer military vehicle is the same as the BJ212. It was designed by you and your teacher?"
Austin didn't go around too much and quickly brought the topic to the Humvee military vehicle.
In his opinion, since China has reported the Humvee military vehicle in newspapers, it means that this topic is not that sensitive.
Maybe we can get some unexpected news from Jiang Hui today.
“I feel ashamed to say that many of the weapons we use still need to be improved. For example, we currently have no way to produce advanced equipment such as artillery sighting radar.”
Jiang Hui As if he didn't hear the second half of what Austin said, he just responded to the first half of what he said.
In the past few days, Jiang Hui has been negotiating with a negotiating team headed by the American Embassy about the Humvee military vehicle project to assist Afghanistan. Jiang Hui has become a little more sensitive than usual about any topic related to Humvee military vehicles.
He was a little unsure about the purpose of Austin's mention of the Humvee military vehicle, and he was not sure how much information the other party knew, so he simply avoided the topic.
Of course, in Austin's view, although Jiang Hui avoided this topic, he did not directly deny the information about the designer of the Hummer military vehicle, which means that his guess must be accurate.
As expected, Jiang Hui participated in the design of this eye-catching military vehicle, and even took the lead in the design.
In this way, many things will be easier to understand.
"Jiang, although some of your words may sound uncomfortable, there is still a gap between China and the United States in many places."
"Of course, I believe that with your efforts, this gap will definitely be reduced." It will become smaller and smaller.”
“I suggest you go to our General Motors headquarters to take a tour and understand how the world’s number one car company produces a car.”
"I think this will be beneficial to your personal development and the development of China's automobile industry."
"Anyway, just take a look, and you won't lose anything."
When Austin said this, it was really difficult for Jiang Hui to refute.
Of course, he also knew that the other party invited him to visit the General Motors headquarters. It was definitely not as simple as a simple visit.
Ordinary Chinese people went to the United States at this time and saw the huge gap between the two countries. It is estimated that few of them would insist on coming back.
Especially when the United States has provided you with very good jobs and helped you solve problems such as green cards.
Austin also knew this, so this time he took a roundabout approach and asked Jiang Hui to go to the United States to have a look first.
He didn't believe there would be any change in Jiang Hui's attitude after seeing the huge gap.
“You are right, it is indeed necessary to go to the United States to see how General Motors goes from research and development to mass production of a model.”
“Look at the zero-generation vehicles in the United States. How do parts manufacturers produce parts and see how various dealers sell cars?”
Jiang Hui felt that since the other party was so enthusiastic about inviting him to inspect, there was no need for him to resist going.
This will make people feel very strange.
As for whether he would not be able to keep his true feelings after going there, he was not worried at all.
"I will call the headquarters tonight and ask them to send the invitation letter."
"General Motors will fully assist with the remaining procedures. This time I will go to the United States. All expenses will be borne by General Motors.”
“Considering China’s special national conditions, no more than five people can participate in this inspection group.”
< br>"Of course, there must be you and Mr. Zhu Jiansheng in it."
Austin obviously made some preparations for coming to China this time.
Inviting Jiang Hui to China alone is likely to fail.
But if it is an inspection group, the situation is different.
This is considered a normal official activity, there is no problem.
“Then I’ll spare you the trouble.”
Jiang Hui didn't dwell too much on this issue.
For ordinary Chinese people, it is definitely a very happy thing to have the opportunity to go to the United States for a business trip without spending a penny.
Even in later generations, this will still be the case.
But Jiang Hui has seen the world for a long time, and it is not like a business trip can change his mind.
"That's right. It just so happens that the car you designed for us is currently being prepared for prototypes. Then I will accompany you to visit various departments and major suppliers of General Motors, so that you can have a better understanding of the United States. There is an intuitive understanding of the power of the automobile industry.”
Austin is in a very good mood now.
Jiang Hui agreed to go to General Motors for inspection, so his visit to China this time would be very valuable.
In the future, it would be perfect if Jiang Hui could work in the General Motors Design Center to assist him in designing various new models.
As long as Jiang Hui goes to the United States, Austin is 70 to 80 percent sure of persuading Jiang Hui to stay and work.
If that doesn’t work, GM can help arrange arrangements for Jiang Hui and his family.
"How long are you going to stay in China this time?"
"If you have time, I'll invite you to taste some of the capital's specialties."
"Although the dining environment is not as good as the Capital Hotel Good, but the taste is definitely very special.”
In any case, Austin’s approach is beneficial to Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui still has to recognize this favor.
Besides, they also brought me a batch of magazines this time, which can be considered a valuable gift.
In America, books and magazines are not cheap.
Obtaining a box of magazines may not cost much to Austin, but in China in this era, these expenses are definitely very huge.
Jiang Hui's annual salary is not enough to buy a box of magazines.
“My main purpose in coming to China this time is to come to your Automobile Bureau to discuss some policy changes in China’s cooperative factory construction, so as to prepare for General Motors’ entry into the Chinese market in the future.”
"The other thing is that I want to meet an old friend and communicate with you about the development of the automobile industry."
"There are no other special arrangements."
"So besides meeting with the automobile tomorrow afternoon There will be time for the meeting with the bureau starting the day after tomorrow."
Austin is naturally willing to further communicate with Jiang Hui and develop the personal relationship between the two parties.
Both of them wanted to maintain this "friendship", and the conversation was naturally harmonious.
...
"That American came to see you again?"
When Jiang Hui returned to the courtyard and heard the noise outside the door, Zhu Lin came out.
A telephone was finally installed in the courtyard a few days ago. When Jiang Hui is not back for dinner, he can just call him back.
So Zhu Lin also knew that he was going to meet Austin from General Motors today.
"Yes, I have to go to the First Machinery Department for a meeting tomorrow afternoon, and it has something to do with him."
"But just because he brought me this big box of magazines, I would welcome him more Come a few times.”
Jiang Hui struggled to pick up a large box of magazines from the trunk of the taxi.
His strength is relatively strong, but he also feels strenuous.
This box of magazines must weigh more than 100 kilograms. I really can’t even buy it if I have money.
"Austin brought you a large box of magazines?"
"That's great, I'll put it in our department's library when you finish reading it."
At this time, Zhu Jiansheng also came out.
Since getting a car, Zhu Jiansheng moved to the courtyard to live together.
He also knew today that Jiang Hui went to meet with General Motors, and now he couldn't wait to know what Austin was looking for him to do.
Although General Motors is now facing challenges from Toyota Motor, after all, it has been the leader of the global automobile industry for decades, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
Especially in the past two years, Zhu Jiansheng has learned more and more about international information, and the more he is able to realize the power of these companies.
“Okay, I’ll just browse around and see if there’s anything I’m interested in.”
“Teachers and students in the department can take a good look and learn about international Get the latest industry news ”
"Let's take this opportunity to learn English well."
The School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Capital Institute of Technology is Jiang Hui's foundation, and many of his future affairs will definitely be involved in it. .
Similarly, this is also Zhu Jiansheng’s basic plan.
So it is in the common interests of Jiang Hui and Zhu Jiansheng to enhance the strength of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering through various methods.
"What did Austin want from you today?"
Seeing Jiang Hui put away the magazine, Zhu Jiansheng couldn't wait to start asking.
He specifically inquired with the First Machinery Department today. The other party did not invite anyone from General Motors to come over for inspection during this period.
Austin took the initiative to come over for a visit and exchange.
This seems a bit weird.
“I feel that the root cause is all on the Humvee military vehicle. They must have seen the contents of the military newspaper and probably want to come over to find out the truth.”
"Then he invited us to inspect General Motors. It is estimated that the invitation letter will be sent tomorrow."
"At that time, I will prepare to join you and call Factory Zheng and Mr. Chen, and then let the Automobile Bureau Let’s arrange for another person to go and take a look at General Motors.”
Jiang Hui said his thoughts directly.
Austin has said that he will give five places to organize a group to visit General Motors.
Since Jiang Hui has agreed, he must implement it as soon as possible.
"Are you going to the United States?"
Zhu Lin suddenly had a trace of worry on his face.
In the past year, some of Zhu Lin’s colleagues have gone to the United States, and some have never come back.
She knows that the United States is now much more prosperous than China, and she is worried that Jiang Hui will never come back.
“Yes, let’s go and see how other people produce cars, so that we can build our cars better!”
"Don't worry, we can go there for half a month at most. If it's quick, we'll be back in a week."
Jiang Hui saw Zhu Lin's worried look and immediately guessed what the other party was worried about. .
“It’s okay to go and learn and communicate. General Motors has always wanted you to come and communicate.”
“However, with your professional and technical level, they are really worth learning from. There may not be many things.”
“What is suitable for America may not be suitable for you.”
Zhu Jiansheng thought for a moment and did not object to this matter.
"I think so too. There is no harm in us maintaining an open communication channel with international automobile giants such as General Motors."
"As for what we can learn from them , I don’t have high expectations.”
“Of course, it would be good to take this opportunity to let Factory Zheng and Mr. Chen take a look at the difference between our factory’s newly built production line and others. ”
“The last time I communicated with the negotiation team of the American Embassy, they invited me to study in the United States. ”
Since topics related to the United States were brought up, Jiang Hui thought he might as well explain the situation clearly.
In case Zhu Jiansheng or Zhu Lin heard some rumors later, they would not have unnecessary worries.
“Going to study in the United States?”
Hearing what Jiang Hui said, Zhu Jiansheng fell silent.
Although Jiang Hui’s professional and technical level does not need to be compensated by studying abroad, he is already the best in the industry.
But if you can go to a famous university in the United States to be gilded and then come back, your future development will definitely be more different.
Zhu Jiansheng is very clear about this.
But he was also worried about whether Jiang Hui would be willing to come back in the future if he went to study abroad.
No matter how firm Jiang Hui's attitude is now, after going abroad, anything may happen as time goes by.
Zhu Lin also became more worried.
What Zhu Jiansheng could think of, she could also think of.
However, considering the matter of studying abroad, it is indeed very important for Jiang Hui.
So even though he was very worried, Zhu Lin chose to express his attitude.
“China has already begun to send publicly funded overseas students to study abroad. These people will definitely be reused after returning to China.”
“With various reforms, talents studying abroad will definitely become very popular. ”
"If you study in the United States and come back, you may be able to become a division-level cadre in the First Machinery Department, and you will be quickly promoted in the next few years and become an important person in charge of the automotive industry."
"Although At Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, your development is already very fast, but it will definitely be difficult to maintain this speed in the future.”
“In this case, studying abroad is also a good option. "
Hearing what Zhu Lin said, Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment.
But he soon understood that Zhu Lin was considering this issue completely from his own perspective.
After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Hui couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He knew that Zhu Lin would be reluctant to study abroad, but considering her future, she chose to support him.
“Why study abroad, it will waste two years.”
“I am also planning to take advantage of the domestic reforms to come up with something different.”
"If I go to study abroad, why bother?"
Jiang Hui's words made Zhu Lin sigh in relief, but he also felt that it was a pity to miss this opportunity.
Looking at Zhu Lin with a troubled face, Jiang Hui further added: "Academic qualifications will indeed become more and more important in the future. For us college students who are workers, peasants and soldiers, academic qualifications are a flaw."
"When the time comes, I will just study as a graduate student with my father."
After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Zhu Jiansheng immediately continued, "This plan is good, and graduate education is slowly improving now. You have been taken seriously, and you can come to me for graduate school in the second half of this year.”
With Zhu Jiansheng’s current status, and considering Jiang Hui’s strength and influence in the industry, it is completely feasible for him to be recruited for graduate school. There is no problem.
Whether it was a special recruitment or a normal exam, Zhu Jiansheng felt there was no problem.
