Chapter 1394 Emission Standards Are No Longer the Same as They Were Historically

It was late at night. Lying in her husband's arms, Xia Muqing's face still had the afterglow of happiness. She gently hugged Zhang Qihang's neck and rubbed it twice. After a moment, she whispered, "During the day, I saw that you seemed to have something to say to me?"

Before, her husband had been hesitant to speak several times. As someone who had slept in the same bed with him for so many years, Xia Muqing naturally sensed it clearly.

At this moment, the couple had just finished their harmonious intercourse and it was a good opportunity for them to talk about some intimate things.

"Well," Zhang Qihang responded softly, and said, "There is something I want to tell you."

"You tell me, I'm listening."

"I think I will continue to work at Huateng Group until I retire. Of course, I am not sure yet, but it seems very likely now."

Xia Muqing was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look up at him: "How could it be? Didn't you tell me before that you might leave Huateng Group in less than two years? Some people don't want to see you sitting in this position forever."

"It was true before, but things have changed recently," Zhang Qihang said helplessly, "After Lao Tan and I discussed and prepared to let Lao Tan take over my position in the Heavy Duty Automobile Industry Group, some people suddenly started to worry."

"..."

Xia Muqing was speechless.

She could naturally guess what those people were worried about: letting Zhang Qihang go was not a problem, and he would certainly not be treated unfairly, as there would be plenty of positions available at that time. But the problem was, if Zhang Qihang left and his successor did not do a good job, and Huateng Group's performance declined significantly, who would bear the responsibility?

  The most important thing is, in addition to boosting the province's automobile industry and paying taxes and fees, Huateng Group also pays large sums of money to shareholders as dividends every year. If the successor fails to do his job well, the automobile industry will be greatly affected, and taxes and dividends will decline sharply. Who can take on this responsibility?

It’s not that no one was aware of this problem before, but everyone kept silent about it.

But this time, her husband took the initiative to hand over the position of general manager of the Heavy Automobile Industry Group, which made some people finally dare not pretend to be blind anymore.

After a moment of silence, Xia Muqing asked softly, "So what are you thinking?"

Zhang Qihang joked with Xia Muqing: "I don't mind, but your husband probably won't have a chance to be a hero in the future."

Xia Muqing naturally understood what her husband meant. What he really wanted to express was that if this matter was confirmed, his official career would probably come to an end.

Hearing this, Xia Muqing laughed instead: "Isn't this good? The higher-ups will be more tolerant of you in the future."

After all, having grown up in such an environment, Xia Muqing is very clear about the twists and turns involved: if the situation is really as her husband said, and he has to work in his current position until retirement and will no longer have the opportunity to advance, then as compensation to him, his superiors will be extra tolerant of him, and as long as it is not a matter of principle, most of the time they will just laugh it off.

As for the economic issue that many people are most worried about...

Thinking of this, the smile on Xia Muqing's face became brighter: When has his family ever been short of money?

Xia Muqing squeezed hard into Zhang Qihang's arms, rubbed her face on her husband's chest, and whispered: "I have known since I was a child that going up is trembling with fear and treading on thin ice. One wrong step may lead to an abyss. There is also a saying that it is lonely at the top. I always think that you are good the way you are now... But you are a man, I can't stop you..." Zhang Qihang understood what his wife meant. He hugged his wife tightly and kissed her hair gently: "Wife?"

"Ok?"

"It's so kind of you."

"I'm your wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" At this point, Xia Muqing suddenly rolled over and lay on Zhang Qihang's chest, saying happily: "Husband, since you are not busy these two days, why don't we spend some time together as two people?"

Zhang Qihang was instantly moved.

Over the years of marriage, I cannot say that my wife and I are rarely together, but I have my own career to take care of, and when my wife goes out to perform, she may not be home for ten days or half a month. Even if we meet, she usually comes home in the evening after work. The days like this when we can spend the sweet time together as a couple are really rare.

Without even a second's hesitation, Zhang Qihang nodded immediately: "Okay, the next two days will be our honeymoon."

"hey-hey……"

Xia Muqing was happy, and her eyes started to draw lines again when she looked at Zhang Qihang...

------------

While Zhang Qihang was happily enjoying his time with his wife during this rare leisure time, Director Jiang's leader was looking at the report in hand, thinking with his head down.

The performance of the two mild hybrid systems of Huateng Group was verified in another test. He couldn't help but think of Xiao Jiang's previous words: It is estimated that by the end of this year, our country's annual automobile sales will exceed 1200 million, and it is expected to exceed 2000 million in five years. If all the cars produced in the future are equipped with this mild hybrid system, in five years, fuel consumption will be reduced by tens of millions of tons each year, and nitrogen oxide emissions and carbon oxide emissions will be reduced by more than ten times than now. This is a product that will benefit the present and future generations. Its significance to the environment cannot be overemphasized.

It's never too much to pay attention to...

Thinking of the price and effort the country paid to ensure the smooth holding of the Olympic Games last year, the rare blue sky and white clouds during those days, and the praise of the Huateng D1 pure electric vehicle by foreign tourists visiting China, the leader pondered for a long time and finally picked up the phone and dialed: "Xiao Jiang, have you considered how much resistance you might encounter by doing this?"

"Leader, we have considered it," Director Jiang said respectfully on the other end of the phone, "So we have discussed this matter seriously in the past two days, and we just happened to have an idea that we would like to report to you."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Director Jiang said: "According to previous plans, we will start to implement the National IV emission standards for motor vehicles in July 2011. Our idea is that in the next few years of the National III stage, we will support and encourage major automakers to use this mild hybrid system and provide certain subsidies to manufacturers that adopt the mild hybrid system. In addition, cars sold in cities such as Beijing, which have greater environmental pressure, must be equipped with mild hybrid systems regardless of the brand; in the National IV stage, all cars must be mandatory to install mild hybrid systems."

The leader thought for a moment and finally nodded: "This is a good idea. As for how to implement it, you can think about it again."

Upon hearing this, Director Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
