"Competition for brand new projects? Let our factory participate?"

After hearing Mu Aijun's words, Wang Youchang, who was in charge of technology, first raised questions.

Mu Aijun glanced at Wang Youchang, and Zheng said with a key point: "That's right, Lao Wang. If we add this project, if we add our Hongda Machinery Factory, there will be 18 companies competing at the same time. In the end, only three factories can stand out and share this project..."

"In other words, our Hongda Machinery Factory must compete with the other seventeen machinery manufacturing companies across the country? Factory Director, what kind of project is it? It's so popular?" Zhang Zhizhong also asked with a smile.

Zhang Zhizhong’s question is undoubtedly the question everyone wants to ask.

Even He Jusheng, who was no longer planning to open the sound, threw doubtful eyes at Mu Aijun.

Among the few big guys here, Ma Jian may be the one with the most flexible mind.

After Director Mu proposed the three words "new project", he immediately met Zhao Guoyang.

In Ma Jian's view, if Director Mu really made up his mind to develop a new project, Guoyang would naturally be the first to be named by him and entrusted with important tasks.

Sure enough, Zhao Guoyang's expression calmed down. After seeing this, Ma Jian knew it.

In the conference room, Mu Aijun's speech continued.

He turned his body slightly and patiently explained to Zhang Zhizhong: "Old Zhang, there is something you have made mistakes. It is not that this project is so popular, but that the conditions given by the Inherited Assets Bureau are very generous."

"In fact, this project is a brand new industry in our country. No enterprise has ever been involved in it, including some large-scale state-owned machinery manufacturing enterprises, which are also the first time they are exposed to this matter."

After Mu Aijun said this, several bigwigs in the conference room showed surprise and suspicion.

Wang Youchang was the most impatient person, and he couldn't help blurting out and said: "Director Mu, what kind of project is this...? Tell everyone."

"It's an 'all-terrain vehicle' project! Lao Wang, have you heard of it?" Mu Aijun responded with a smile.

"Ah, an all-terrain vehicle?"

Wang Youchang was confused when he heard this. Obviously, it must be the first time he heard this term.

Mu Aijun glanced at the confused expressions on the faces of the other people, then looked directly at Zhao Guoyang and said, "As for what is going on in this project, I'll ask Guoyang to introduce it to you first."

"When Guoyang makes the situation clear, everyone will discuss the following matters!"

As soon as Mu Aijun said this, how could these bigwigs in the field not understand?

Well, needless to say, Director Mu must have discussed this matter with Zhao Guoyang early in the morning, and he even had a vain case.

Now it is proposed at the factory team meeting, which is just a formality.

Thinking about this, He Jusheng, who was sitting upright there, looked a little bad.

The beams he and Zhao Guoyang formed could not be eliminated so quickly.

Now that he saw that Zhao Guoyang was so valued by the top leader, He Jusheng naturally felt unhappy.

His eyes floated to Zhang Zhizhong from time to time, wanting to see if this second-in-command, a senior party official, could become a breakthrough for him.

In fact, in the past 100 to 20 years, the top leaders of enterprises and units have always been senior party officials, and the factory director is just the second-in-command.

However, with the further deepening of reform and opening up, by the late 1980s, the principle of the factory manager responsibility system had gradually been determined.

The so-called factory director responsibility system means that the production, operation and administrative management of the enterprise are led by the factory director, who is the legal representative of the enterprise.

As the top leaders of the Party and the masses, the main responsibility of senior party officials is to preside over party affairs, party member management, and organizational work.

However, since personnel rights also involve administrative management issues, many times, factory directors also have absolute voice in personnel appointments.

Just like Zhang Zhizhong, Mu Aijun will discuss with him in general personnel changes.

But for the truly important personnel appointments, this senior party official still respects Mu Aijun's opinions very much.

Just as He Jusheng was thinking secretly how to use Zhang Zhizhong to confront Mu Aijun and gradually improve his prestige in the factory, Zhao Guoyang had already begun to introduce the "all-terrain vehicle" to everyone.

In fact, although not many people know about the concept of "all-terrain vehicle" in China, everyone has more or less heard of the name of "Athletic Vehicle".

After Zhao Guoyang's in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, Ma Jian and Wang Youchang first understood.

"Well, the project the factory manager mentioned is an 'ATV'! I have heard of this thing!" Ma Jian said with a shaking head.

Wang Youchang also added: "Yes, I have also seen an article in a technical publication before, introducing this kind of 'ATV'."

Listening to the two of you and I talked about it, everyone gradually got to know the situation.

Even the Red Army, who had never spoken a lot, couldn't help but talk, "It turns out that the 'all-terrain vehicle' has so many uses. So can it be driven in the desert in the western part of our country?"

Even after the Red Army asked this question, Zhao Guoyang nodded seriously and said, "Yes, that's right, not only the deserts, Gobi, but also the woodlands, riverbeds, and streams, it can be like walking on flat ground."

"In other words, if this project is created, we can open up markets in the Northwest, Northeast and other regions?" Ma Jian is engaged in sales, so he naturally remembered his job immediately.

Although Zhao Guoyang did not want to destroy the harmonious atmosphere at this time, it would be better to say some of the words clearly in advance.

So he coughed lightly and said, "Director Ma, that's right. However, there are no laws and regulations in our country that allow ATVs to be on the road and licensed, and there is no such type of vehicle in the catalog..."

"In addition, in some Western countries, it is also clearly stipulated that ATVs are special vehicles and can only be used in designated places, such as entertainment venues, racing venues, farms, forests and other places. If you want to go on the road, it is illegal."

"Hiss... Then, it's still unpredictable whether the car can sell well after this project is created!" Ma Jian couldn't help but speak.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang raised his hand and said, "Hi, Director Ma, don't worry too much, there are ways to do it."

"It's like in the United States, many car players put their ATVs on the cargo bucket behind the pickup truck and ran on the road, and then unloaded them to the designated place before playing."

"In addition, some European countries, such as France, England, etc., have clear laws that ATVs can be used on the road."

Looking at the joy on everyone's faces, Zhao Guoyang continued to explain: "Of course, vehicles that want to get on the road must meet the corresponding conditions for getting on the road."

"For example, turn signals, rearview mirrors, reflectors, and speakers that can be installed or not must be standard in these countries."

"And, lamps like headlights and rear taillights also have stricter requirements in these countries."

After Zhao Guoyang's explanation, everyone finally had a clearer understanding of this "all-terrain vehicle".

He Jusheng, who had been watching coldly, looked at Zhao Guoyang calmly and said so much, and then he had an idea in his heart.

He inadvertently glanced at Wang Youchang sitting beside Zhao Guoyang, and muttered to himself: Hehe, it seems that Zhao Guoyang is a little capable, and he seems to have two skills in technology.

However, he said so much in a simplified manner, how can Wang Youchang, the deputy director in charge of technology, take charge of himself?

No way, Wang Youchang has had an objection to him in his heart! It seems that this is a good breakthrough...

He Jusheng's triangular eyes rolled, and the yin color was beyond words.

Just when He Jusheng was fantasizing that Wang Youchang would not like Zhao Guoyang, the next scene directly made him petrified.

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Wang Youchang patted his shoulder kindly and said sincerely: "Guoyang, if this project is really going to be launched, you will definitely take charge of the overall situation."

"I really know nothing about this 'all-terrain vehicle'! At most, I can only help you."

After Wang Youchang said these sincere words, the conference room was filled with laughter and joy.

Zhao Guoyang scratched his head and was about to say a few words of humility. Ma Jian, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, was already smiling and shouting.

"Lao Wang's words make sense. If our factory really starts the 'Athletic Vehicle' project, I will also help Guoyang. What parts are purchased and what standards are implemented, there are too many things to learn."

"Guoyang, you are not allowed to hide your own private matters at that time. You must teach me well!" Ma Jian said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

The situation became clear after these two heavyweight deputy factory directors made a statement.

Needless to say, the Hongda Machinery Factory will definitely pass the meeting to participate in this "all-terrain vehicle" project.

Although he had guessed this result a long time ago, when he saw Wang Youchang and Ma Jian's attitude towards Zhao Guoyang, He Jusheng's face could not help but turn dark.

Mu Aijun, who was sitting upright, couldn't help laughing and scolding after hearing what Ma Jian teased Zhao Guoyang: "Old Ma, you are going to exhaust Guoyang to death!"

"However, if this project is really done, the gap between technicians, purchasing personnel, and sales personnel in our factory will be bigger."

Turning to look at Zhang Zhizhong, Mu Aijun said solemnly: "Old Zhang, at that time, you will have to pay more attention to personnel and affairs."

Zhang Zhizhong laughed and said, "Director Mu, you are very confident. Are you not worried about losing in the competition with several other state-owned enterprises?"

Mu Aijun waved his hand and said, "Hey, Lao Zhang, you can rest assured about this. I have already talked to Guoyang."

"In a few days, he will go to this bidding meeting in Beijing with me, whether it is a defense or no matter what, in short, I have absolute confidence in him!"

After Mu Aijun said this, Ma Jian, Wang Youchang and others nodded deeply in agreement and expressed their approval.
