Chapter 530

A month later.

In the engine assembly workshop of Huateng Industrial Group, Zhang Qihang pointed to the orderly running assembly line in front of him and said to a large group of old men who were following him: "Gentlemen, this is the engine that our Huateng Industrial Group has just put into use this year. Everyone has seen the automobile engine production line not long ago. This is a 1.0-liter in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum power of 57 horsepower. It is an engine especially suitable for small cars.

The annual production capacity of this production line is 5 units, and in the workshop next door is the production line for the five-speed manual transmission matched with this engine, which is also 5 units.

Now, our group has signed cooperation agreements with a number of domestic automobile manufacturers, and has begun to expand production capacity. It is estimated that by the second half of next year, our production capacity will increase to 20 engines and 20 supporting gearboxes. "

After listening to the translation, the old men gasped in unison: 20 sets of powertrains with an annual output of engines and gearboxes?

Although in the Soviet Union, a company with an annual output of 20 engines is nothing, but this is China. Although most of these old men present have never been to China, because of the historical relationship between the two parties, maybe they His teacher was once one of the Soviet experts who aided China back then, so they are no strangers to China, or they think they are no strangers, knowing that it is a very poor and industrially backward country.

For a long time, everyone has been extremely firm in their understanding of themselves, but after coming to Huateng Industrial Group, this understanding began to shake: a company with an annual output of more than 240 million motorcycle engines of various types, and an annual output of automobile powertrains A company with more than 5 units can actually appear in China?
It would be fine if Huateng Industrial Group was a state-owned enterprise directly under the central government of Huaxia, but it turned out to be an enterprise directly under the prefecture-level municipal government?
This is a bit scary, and it will inevitably lead to some thoughts: how many companies like Huateng Industrial Group are still in China?
If this idea goes a step further, it will become: In the early years, China could not be compared with the Soviet Union at all. Back then, my teacher told us about China's situation, so why now, China has fallen so quickly? Developed?
The reason for this is not difficult to guess. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations and economic and trade exchanges between China and the Soviet Union, some media in the Soviet Union have reported some introductions about China's ongoing economic reforms.

Such a strong contrast made these old men involuntarily have an almost identical idea in their hearts: If the Soviet Union also implemented reform and opening up, what would it be like?
I can't even think about it, it just hurts my heart...

"Okay, gentlemen," Zhang Qihang glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "It's almost time for lunch. Shall we eat at the guest house outside, or go to the staff canteen?"

After listening to the translator who accompanied Zhang Qihang to his home, Andre was the first to say: "Go to the staff canteen, I'm a little curious about what the staff eat."

"That's right," followed Andre, and the others immediately echoed, "Let's go to the staff cafeteria to eat."

We are all grown-ups, and we all have an account in mind: if Huateng Industrial Group feeds its front-line workers okay, then by extension, it will not be too bad for its foreign technical experts.

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and readily agreed: "Okay, then let's go to the staff cafeteria, well, if you have any opinions then just tell me, if you are not used to it, we can consider opening a special one for you Russian cafeterias can even invite a few chefs from Russia to cook for everyone.”

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, everyone laughed even happier—the other party had indeed expressed enough sincerity and respect for himself and others,
........................

Huateng Industrial Group now has tens of thousands of front-line employees. With so many employees, it is naturally impossible to eat in one canteen. In fact, Huateng Industrial Group has 12 canteens alone. In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Qihang will The choice of which cafeteria to eat is given to Andre and others. The purpose of this is to tell the other party in this way: Don't worry, we won't do anything.

The food is indeed very rich, at least in the eyes of Andre and others who couldn't even eat enough before, the food is extremely rich. There are dozens of dishes in the entire cafeteria, and most of them are meat dishes. This is what they think It is unimaginable. You must know that even in the glory days of the Soviet Union, the unit where I worked did not have such a rich meal.

Although the food was very delicious, the cautious Andre and others slowed down the pace of eating, and carefully observed the workers' reactions when they were ordering and eating.

The reason is also very simple: if the workers are very surprised by today's meals, it means that they can't eat such meals at all. The reason why they can eat these meals today is that Huateng Industrial Group specially made them for themselves and others to see To a certain extent, many people are actually wishing for this in their hearts: Our Soviet big brother is gone. If your former little brother is too comfortable, where do you want us to put our faces?
But the performance of the workers let them down. Facing these extremely rich meals in their own eyes, the workers were very calm and did not show any surprises at all, let alone what happened to order more meals. After the quarrel, the workers behaved in an orderly manner when cooking and eating. Obviously, this kind of meal was their usual meal.

Facing this situation, Andre couldn't stay calm anymore, he couldn't help but asked Zhang Qihang: "Zhang, do you give these to the workers on weekdays?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang nodded, "What's the problem?"

Andre said loudly: "Don't you think this is too wasteful?"
