Chapter 47: The Factory Director (12)

  Lin Hongfei, who had made up his mind, explained to Wu Dàyǒng calmly, "Actually, the technology of ri itself is nothing special, for example, that GN250, it's a 250CC single-cylinder air-cooled twin-exhaust engine, with a maximum power of 15.4Kw, which translates to 20.6 horsepower in our usual terms. The engine I designed has the same displacement of 250cc, but uses a twin-cylinder design, with a maximum power of 22 horsepower, which is 1.4 more than ri's engine."

  "Ah?" Wu Dàyǒng was suddenly shocked, and in his excitement, he unconsciously waved his hand, almost knocking the teacup on the tea table to the ground. The tea spilled all over the table, but Wu Dàyǒng didn't care about this at all. With a mind full of excitement, Wu Dàyǒng only had one thought: success, achievement! Achievement!

  Wu Dajun is not from a science background and doesn't understand much about machines, but he does know one thing: for engines of the same displacement, more cylinders are better than fewer, more horsepower is better than less, and fuel efficiency is better than being gas-guzzling... This is common sense that ordinary people also know.

  Now that Lin Hongfei's engine has surpassed the technical indicators of Japan in all aspects, what does this mean? This means that Lin Hongfei's invention not only fills the domestic gap but also has a great possibility of being at an internationally leading level. Even if we take a step back, it is still at an internationally advanced level.

  Under his leadership, a product with international advanced technology level was born in our city, what a great achievement! As an insider, Wu Dayong naturally understands the weight of Lin Hongfei's invention today!

  The original condition seems to be inappropriate now. If Lin Hongfei was just an ordinary person living as an ordinary scientific researcher, then there would be nothing wrong with that. However, Lin Hongfei's special identity makes Wu Dayong have to be cautious about this matter: after all, it is the country's money being spent, and he doesn't need to spend his own pocket money, so why bother being the bad guy?

  As for whether Lin Hongfei deceived himself in terms of data, Wu Dayong didn't worry about it at all. If this kind of thing is to be reported to the superior leaders as a political achievement, then one must personally confirm the results before reporting to the leaders; otherwise, if problems arise in the future, who can bear the responsibility?

  At this moment, Wu Dajun suddenly understood and made a decision. "Hongfei, wait here for a while."

  The development of this matter has exceeded the leader's authorization, and any further discussion will require Wu Dajun to go back and ask for instructions from the leadership again.

  Lin Hongfei didn't know what Wu Dayong was going to do, but since the director of the municipal party committee office wanted to go out, he couldn't stop him. He said, "Then I'll come another day?"

  "No need, you wait here, I'll be back soon." This matter is of great importance, Wu Dajun did not dare to delay for a moment, and he needs to report to Dongfang Shu immediately.

  …………………

  Not to mention how Lin Hongfei was confused in Wu Dayong's office, let alone Wu Dayong himself. After making a report to Dongfang Shuqi, Dongfang Shuqi was shocked and asked, "Is there really such a thing?"

  "Yes," Wu Dayong nodded and paused for a moment, then added, "And I think it's very likely that things are as Comrade Lin Hongfei said."

  Dongfang Shu & Ji also believed that Lin Hongfei would not speak nonsense about such things, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked Wu Dàyǒng, "Old Wu, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

  The way to deal with this matter, Wu Dajun had thought it through on his way to report to Dongfang Shu & Ji. Now that Dongfang Shu & Ji asked about it, he replied without hesitation, "My suggestion is to continue to adhere to your previous instructions, boss. However, if Lin Hongfei's words are true and this invention really leads the world, we can take this opportunity to publicize our city's emphasis on scientific and technological development and attract investment."

  "Of course, at this time, we should also ask the relevant departments of the municipal government to conduct an in-depth appraisal of Comrade Lin Hongfei's invention. After the appraisal, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government will jointly report the good news to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government."

  Mr. Wu's intention is to take this matter as an opportunity to vigorously promote Beiguan City, which is a good method and also very persuasive. If the leaders of Beiguan City did not attach great importance to scientific and technological development, how could such a product that fills the domestic gap and leads internationally appear? What's even more exciting is that this product that fills the domestic gap and leads internationally is a widely used civilian product, which makes it even more significant.

  As for arranging the appraisal of Lin Hongfei's products, this is also a necessary part of the process. Although Director Wu and Dongfang Shu & Ji both don't think that Lin Hongfei would play tricks in this matter, technology requires hard data to convince others and leaders.

  Especially after the municipal party committee and government report to the provincial party committee and government, this will become the achievement of the entire leadership team of Beiguan City. The evaluation of "leadership effectiveness" by Dongfang Shuji is indispensable, especially since the motorcycle manufacturing factory incident in Beiguan City has just occurred, which is extremely important for reversing the image of the municipal party committee and government leaders.

  The Eastern scholar nodded in agreement and said, "What else?"

  "Even if I have a somewhat immature view," Director Wu said, slowly and carefully choosing his words, "Boss, you see, since Comrade Lin Hongfei's invention is so significant, then our side in Beijun City...and we also need to retain talent, which ultimately requires some cost."

  "What you said is right, this matter must be handled with caution." Dongfang Shu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, if not for Wu Dayong's reminder, Dongfang Shu hadn't realized the severity of the problem at first. If Beiguan City wants to make a name for itself through this matter, it can't do so without paying some price. The benefits they decided to send out earlier now seem somewhat childish.

  The most important thing is to keep Lin Hongfei in Beiguan City. If the news gets out and other brother cities poach him, it will be a huge loss of face for the leaders of Beiguan City. In the future, when meeting with leaders from other brother cities, they won't even be able to lift their heads: In recent years, the General Secretary has been emphasizing the importance of talent and technology, but is this how Beiguan City values talent and technology?

  It's possible that even higher-level leaders will have opinions about the leadership team of Beiguan City.
