Set sail1992

Chapter 636 It really belongs to me
City W Office Building.

Looking at the information in their hands, the leaders were either amazed, or looked at Zhang Qihang who was sitting there calmly with incomprehensible eyes.

Yes, in the afternoon of that day, Zhang Qihang brought the materials to the city to report the situation to the leaders.

The world's top automobile company, Honda, actually wanted to buy Zhang Qihang's patent. This situation was jointly reported by Wang Zhengqiang, the former director of the Municipal Audit Bureau, Zhu Jiancai, the former chief accountant of the Municipal Audit Bureau, and the general manager of Huateng Industrial Group, which immediately aroused Langya's attention. The city's entire leadership team attaches great importance to it!
This is 1995. In this era of "foreign things are better than ours!", a foreign company, and a top foreign company in the world, actually wants to buy our Huaxia patents. Unreliable, like a liar.

In fact, if the person involved in this matter is Zhang Qihang, who everyone is familiar with, everyone will really think this matter is a liar, but since the person involved in this matter is Zhang Qihang, who would dare not take it seriously?

Facing Wang Zhengqiang and Zhu Jiancai who are so excited but extremely determined, what else can Zhang Qihang say?He could only take the fax sent by the general agent of Honda Motor in China, as well as the relevant graduation thesis, design materials and patent registration materials that were sufficient to prove that the design belonged to him, and after copying several copies, he came to the W compound in the city.

In the beginning, the leaders in the city didn’t believe it either, but looking at the iron-like proof materials in front of them, everyone had to believe in this iron-like fact: the design of this name is “four-speed parallel shaft automatic transmission” and its The patent is indeed owned by Zhang Qihang, and it is indeed his graduation project... It also has the signatures of Zhang Qihang's professor and the dean of the School of Automotive Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology.

It’s just that some leading comrades in the city think this is incredible. For example, this leader couldn’t help but ask Zhang Qihang: “Xiao Zhang, I don’t doubt what you mean, I just don’t understand. This thing is very complicated, our country has gathered so many top experts, and after all these years haven’t conquered the mountain of automatic transmission, how did you manage to conquer this mountain by yourself?”

As soon as the words came out, many people nodded at the same time, as if the words reached everyone's heart.

Zhang Qihang was not surprised by this question at all, he nodded slightly and said: "Deputy Secretary Niu, it is like this, first of all, I must correct one of your statements, that is, our country has never organized a research on automatic transmissions Activities, whether it is a research activity organized by the state or an enterprise organization, whether it is the National Automobile Industry Corporation, FAW, or SAIC, have not organized similar activities.

It’s not between companies, and universities have never organized similar activities. When my teachers at the undergraduate and graduate levels introduced the development of domestic automatic transmission technology to us, they always expressed regret that our country is in There is a gap between the automatic transmission technology and the world, but we have never mentioned our country's efforts in this regard.

As a student of this major, I generally understand the situation: Domestic companies believe that although automatic transmissions are convenient for people to operate, compared with manual transmissions, they also have high manufacturing costs, high maintenance costs, high fuel consumption, and poor responsiveness. Slow and other factors, so I don't pay much attention to automatic transmissions, and I don't have the motivation to research and develop them. "

When Deputy Secretary Niu heard this, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed: "Ah...is that so?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "The reason why the West wants to develop automatic transmissions is because their automobile industry is developed, and automobiles have entered thousands of households a long time ago. For example, in Millikin, every The average family has 1.7 cars, and the average number of European countries such as Germany, France, and Italy is smaller, but the average car ownership per family is also more than 1.3.

Think about it, with so many cars in the whole country, the roads must be congested. You must have seen in the newspapers the scenes of traffic jams in some countries in Europe and the United States during some festivals or morning and evening rush hours. To be honest, if you use a manual transmission at this time If you step on the clutch, you can step on your sore legs. It is much more convenient if it is an automatic transmission. It is precisely for this reason that people in these countries are willing to choose an automatic transmission car... I am not tired when I am stuck in traffic. The little bit of oil that was burned was regarded as an easy change for oneself.

As for our country, the leader, do you think the traffic situation in our country will make your legs sore when you step on the clutch?Naturally, there is no need for automatic transmission. "

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Zhang Qihang's funny words, everyone burst into laughter.

After laughing, he immediately understood the domestic situation: Xiao Zhang was right. Given the situation in our country, there is really no need to develop cars with automatic transmission.

Another leader asked casually: "Since our country doesn't need an automatic transmission, how did you come up with the idea of ​​designing this automatic transmission, Xiao Zhang?"

Zhang Qihang didn't seem to realize that this question implied a trap, and said, "Because this is my graduation project."

"oh, I see……"

"Yes."

"But why did your teacher arrange such a difficult project for you?" The leader who asked the question continued to ask: "Although you were studying for a master's degree, the graduation project your teacher arranged for you is obviously beyond the outline. Already."

When the other leaders heard this, their expressions suddenly became serious.

Everyone understands the meaning of these words: It is true that the school assigns graduation projects to students, but under normal circumstances, teachers will not deliberately assign design tasks to students that they cannot complete, otherwise this is not intentional. There is no such reason for students to graduate.

In this case, the question arises, why did your teacher assign you such a graduation design task that is obviously beyond the outline?
Conversely, if this is not a design task assigned to you by the school, what will be the situation?

Will the design of this four-speed parallel shaft automatic transmission be the design of your Huateng Industrial Group's design and development center?

If this four-speed parallel-shaft automatic transmission is designed by your Huateng Industrial Group Design and R&D Center, let’s not talk about the nature of your situation, just talk about whether the patent ownership of this automatic transmission should belong to All in the city?
A leader is a leader after all, he dug a big hole for Zhang Qihang in an instant!
The other leaders could see it, and Zhang Qihang naturally could too. His expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly: "Probably because the teacher sees that I have some talent in mechanical design, and wants me to challenge my potential. .”

"What?"

As soon as Zhang Qihang said this, many leaders at the scene were dumbfounded, and then looked at Zhang Qihang with a different look: You really are not humble.

Under the watchful eyes of all the leaders, Zhang Qihang didn't feel strong at all, and said calmly: "Leader, have you forgotten that the second motorcycle engine produced by our Huateng Group, that is, the HT110, was myself It was designed by one person. At that time, the leaders of the city went to our unit for investigation. After HT110, I successively presided over the design of a series of engines such as HT150, HT175, V-twin cylinder HT300-A and HT300-B... …

At that time, Huateng Industrial Group was still called Huateng Industrial Manufacturing Company, and it did not have its own design and R&D department. All these engines were drawn by hand by myself and designed and finalized with the help of our school teachers. The foundation was laid for the development of the industrial group. "

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, the leader just now looked embarrassed, and the other leaders stopped talking: Yes, these things have already become good stories in the official circles of Langya City. When everyone is drinking and chatting, They also used this topic as a condiment for bragging, but now they heard what Zhang Qihang said, and everyone heard two meanings in Zhang Qihang's words:
On the first level, Zhang Qihang is clearly telling everyone that I just graduated from a bachelor’s degree at that time, and I was able to design a series of engines independently after I graduated from a bachelor’s degree. Automatic gearbox, what is so strange about it?
The second layer is expressing dissatisfaction with this. Now that you hear that Honda wants to purchase the patent of the automatic transmission I designed, you are racking your brains to deny my ability and use this to hold the patent. People fall into the main body of Huateng Industrial Group, but they forget that Huateng Industrial Group has developed to this day, all relying on my design and relationships. At that time, Huateng Industrial Manufacturing Company did not have a technology research and development center. Let's first calculate the company's free use of my design, how should this part be counted?
How to calculate?
Can't count!
Don't tell me you don't know, but after such a calculation, everyone is really scared!
Everyone has passed this question vaguely before, but this time, if it is turned up because of the problem of the automatic transmission, then Huateng Industrial Group has used Zhang Qihang's design for free for so long, should this account be settled? up?

Just thinking about it in my heart, none of us said it.

Zhang Qihang went on to say: "Probably because I performed well before, my teacher thought that with my ability, it seems that I can try to design an automatic transmission as my design, and encouraged me to say that if I can design an automatic transmission In addition to the traditional structure, a new path has emerged, and you can directly study for a Ph.D.

I am also bold. After borrowing some concepts of manual transmission, I wondered whether it is possible to combine the automatic transmission with the manual transmission. This is the parallel shaft automatic transmission, which is not bad. I spent a few dollars to register patents, so I went to register domestic and foreign patents. I didn’t expect to be attracted by Honda... Dear leaders, the overall situation is like this. If necessary, you can also go to Harbin Institute of Technology to learn about the situation. . "

"..."

After Zhang Qihang finished speaking, he also used this to express his attitude. No one in the huge conference room spoke for a while.

At this point, everyone has already understood in their hearts. Although it sounds incredible, the design of this automatic transmission was independently completed by Zhang Qihang, and the patent is also owned by others. The abacus doesn't work...

Just as I was thinking that my little abacus couldn't get through, someone spoke up...

"Comrade Zhang Qihang, you can't say that," a leader Zhang Qihang who is not very familiar with said with a smile: "No one denies that this patent is not yours, but your ability is also cultivated by the organization..."

As soon as the leader spoke, Zhou Anming said, "Comrade Guangrong, I disagree with what you said."

"Oh?" The other party obviously didn't expect Zhou Anming to speak at this time, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Comrade An Ming, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Qihang was also taken aback, he didn't expect the old bureau chief Zhou Anming to speak up for him at this time, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhou Anming - just now, he was actually ready to speak.

Why did Zhou Anming speak for Zhang Qihang?
The reason is actually very simple, because everyone knows that Zhang Qihang is his soldier!And because of his outstanding performance, he has a great chance to take another step forward!
So here comes the question, when everyone knows that this subordinate is your soldier and can help you a lot, when your soldier is bullied by others, what should you do?
Of course you can pretend not to see it and let your soldiers be bullied.

But from now on, it's over for you, if you are the boss, if you don't protect your own people from being bullied at critical moments, what kind of boss are you?And who can you count on to work hard for you?

So at this moment, Zhou Anming had no choice but to take the initiative to stand up and speak for Zhang Qihang. He stood up his own flag firmly. Today he tried his best to protect Zhang Qihang, not only protecting Zhang Qihang, but also doing it for others. Read: You must follow me in the future, I will definitely protect you.

"The meaning is very simple," Zhou Anming took a puff of cigarette, and said calmly: "If you say that we have cultivated Comrade Zhang Qihang's organizational and management skills, I have nothing to say about it. After all, Comrade Zhang Qihang can achieve what he is today. In the beginning, we resigned from the Industrial Bureau to give him a chance to exercise.

But if you say that Langya City gave Zhang Qihang the ability to design, I disagree with that. In the School of Automotive Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology, there are at least hundreds of undergraduates graduating every year. There are dozens of people, why can't other people design the engine and gearbox independently, but Xiao Zhang can do it?

This is his personal ability!
Based on the original situation of the air compressor factory, you said, can Xiao Zhang design a motorcycle engine in another place? "

"Uh...this...this..."

Guangrong was speechless at the same time. No matter how hard he spoke, he couldn't say, "That's right, there was no air compressor factory back then. You can’t design those motorcycle engines if you set sail.”

Comrade Guangrong stopped talking, but Zhou Anming didn't intend to give up. He continued: "Look, you agree with me, right? So, let's not talk about what is there and what is not. Zhang Qihang can design a This automatic transmission is entirely his personal ability and talent, who still has an opinion on this now?"

"..."

In the huge conference room, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

In fact, the designer of this four-speed parallel-shaft automatic transmission is Zhang Qihang, and the patent belongs to Zhang Qihang. Who doesn’t understand, and the reason why we are sitting in this conference room to agonize over this point is, in the final analysis, profit. Noisy, now is not the time when everyone was uninformed when it was just opened in the 80s. After more than 10 years of reform and opening up, the country has opened its doors, and everyone has seen the outside world, let alone gold. Selling it, it is clear how much such a technology that can be valued by a world-class auto giant like Honda is worth-at least it can be calculated in tens of millions of dollars.

"Old Zhou, don't be so excited," Comrade Zhao Deqing, who hadn't spoken much, finally spoke at this time, and he said with a smile: "Some comrades don't know much about Zhang Qihang's situation, and they have some doubts in their hearts. It is normal to take this opportunity to figure it out. On the other hand, to figure it out, this is also the protection of Comrade Zhang Qihang, right?"

The boss has spoken, and every sentence makes sense, what else can Zhou Anming say?I had no choice but to nod: "You are right."

Zhao Deqing nodded, looked around again, and asked, "Does anyone have any questions about this?"

No one speaks.

Until then, Zhang Qihang breathed a sigh of relief: With Zhao Deqing's words, as long as there is no objection, the fact that he is the designer and patent holder of the four-speed parallel-shaft automatic transmission will not matter. It has been settled, and whoever dares to question this in the future is not only questioning Zhao Deqing, the leader of Langya City, but also the entire leadership team of Langya City. Whoever dares to do this will not offend a couple. personal.

"Since this is the case, of course we must respect the interests of Comrade Xiao Zhang, there is no doubt about it," Zhao Deqing first comforted Zhang Qihang, then turned to look at Zhang Qihang, and said, "Xiao Zhang, The city respects your interests, but the city also has some ideas, you see, can we think of a way to realize the organic combination of your personal interests and the interests of our city?"

A leader is a leader, and he is really good at talking. In one sentence, he not only appeased Zhang Qihang, but also made a promise to other comrades: We still need to develop what should be developed.

Zhang Qihang could only nod his head: "Secretary Deqing, I am also a member of our Langya City. I also hope that my hometown can develop and the people can live a prosperous life. If I can do something, just tell me."
