Chapter 574 Development of a new engine
Niu Xiaoqiang worried that doing so would make Fang Dongping feel that he did not respect his teacher.The master taught the engine technology of in-line sorting, and now the apprentice wants to start a new one and tinker with the V8 engine. It seems a bit inappropriate not to explain the situation in advance.

He didn't delay, and took the blueprint directly to Fang Dongping's office.

It's already off work, but Niu Xiaoqiang knows Fang Dongping's habits.Fang Dongping would write a diary in the office after get off work every day, summarizing the work of the day.According to Fang Dongping himself, this is a habit he developed while studying in the Soviet Union.

"Master, are you in there?"

"It's Xiaoqiang, I'm inside, what do you want from me?"

Niu Xiaoqiang pushed the door open and explained the purpose of his visit with a smile: "It's about the research and development of the new engine. Are you free now? If I'm free, I'd like to talk to you in detail."

Fang Dongping gave Niu Xiaoqiang a blank look on purpose: "Why are you seeing me, kid? If you have something to say, sit down and talk."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and sat down, handed the design drawing to Fang Dongping, then explained the idea of ​​the Red Flag Group, and finally concluded: "Master, I think this is an opportunity for us to try the research of the V8 engine. This will be very beneficial to our future development, now developed countries in Europe and the United States have made great achievements in the field of V8 engines, if we want to compete with them in the future, we cannot bypass this hurdle, what do you think?"

Fang Dongping shook his head with a smile: "I knew you would be overwhelmed. As expected, you even drew out the design drawings. Master has no objection to this. You don't have to worry about it, just implement it according to your own ideas." Bar."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed when he heard the words: "Master, this job can't be done without you. We still have the old rules. We discuss together, and no matter what opinions we have, we can speak freely. Even if we don't have relevant experience, but with our Technical level, it should not be a big problem to break through technical difficulties."

Fang Dongping nodded, and put Niu Xiaoqiang's design into his briefcase: "I'll take it home and have a look, and we can communicate after I finish reading it."

When he said this, he changed the subject: "According to the current production speed, our factory's first batch of orders will be completed on No. 20 this month, and the date of delivery is not too far away, Xiaoqiang, you are ready for transportation No?"

According to the contract signed at the beginning, the delivery time of these heavy trucks is only half a year, and NO.20 will be delivered to the customer in April.Once postponed, Niu Xiaoqiang will need to bear high compensation.

At present, all the spare parts of the fifty heavy trucks have been produced, and all the parts that cannot be produced by themselves have been purchased. Han Shuren is leading people to carry out the final assembly. It is estimated that all the parts will be completed before NO.20 this month.Fang Dongping was worried that there would be problems with transportation, so he reminded him in advance.

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled slightly: "I have already contacted the transportation company. When the time comes, we will directly go to Africa by sea. One month is enough."

Only then did Fang Dongping feel relieved: "That's good. After completing this order, we can free up time. Do you have any thoughts on this year's Spring Canton Fair?"

The Canton Fair is held twice a year, once in spring and autumn.The Spring Canton Fair is mainly open to foreign businessmen, and all exhibitors are foreign companies.The exhibitors of the autumn Canton Fair are domestic enterprises.

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "I'm not going to participate in the Spring Canton Fair, I want to hurry up and implement the work I need to do, and I will report to MIT in three months, otherwise it will be difficult for Professor Watson to explain. "

According to the agreement between Niu Xiaoqiang and Watson, Niu Xiaoqiang will go to MIT to study abroad this summer.This is not only an opportunity for Niu Xiaoqiang to learn foreign high-tech technology, but also an opportunity for him to go abroad to explore market conditions.As long as the opportunity is right, Niu Xiaoqiang would not mind establishing another career in the United States.

Although Fang Dongping had long been mentally prepared for this, when he thought that Niu Xiaoqiang was about to travel across the ocean, he felt a little uncomfortable.

I saw him sighing: "Oh, what should come will come after all. You can go to study abroad. You can increase your knowledge and experience. It is much better than staying in a ravine."

Niu Xiaoqiang can understand Fang Dongping's mood, and there is no need to talk about the relationship between the two.As he grew older, Fang Dongping felt more and more lonely.His only daughter didn't want to associate with him, so the only apprentice he could count on was Niu Xiaoqiang.

Of course, other people can also give him retirement, but emotionally speaking, they can't replace Niu Xiaoqiang at all.Although Niu Xiaoqiang is not Fang Dongping's grandson, he is closer than his own grandson, and this feeling cannot be parted.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, you don't have to worry. With my mind, I believe that I will be able to finish my studies at MIT and return to China soon. Even if I want to develop my career in the United States, I can also adopt their popular one The professional manager system, I ask someone to help me manage my business, I won’t take root in the United States and never come back.”

Fang Dongping smiled and waved his hands: "I just sighed casually, don't think about it, just do what you have to do, there is no need to give up anything for me."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, chatted with Fang Dongping for a while, got up and left.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Han Shuren arguing fiercely with Huang Li standing at the corner of the corridor.

When they heard the footsteps, they both turned their heads to see that Niu Xiaoqiang had no time to evade, so he could only pretend that nothing happened and continued to walk forward. What? Why are you arguing?"

Both looked a little embarrassed, as if they were too embarrassed to speak out about the dispute.

Huang Li was familiar with Niu Xiaoqiang, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally plucked up the courage to tell the story: "I was arguing with him about having a baby, and he said that he just came here not long ago, and that having a baby would affect his work, and he was going to wait until it was done." I don't agree to think about this matter after I have finished my grades. Although I am still young, he is not young anymore. What is it like to delay? You just came, why don't you judge us, who is right? wrong?"

How can outsiders intervene in such matters?Just as Niu Xiaoqiang was about to evade, Han Shuren also said, "Secretary Niu, you don't have to worry about it, just say what comes to mind, I won't mind."

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed dryly, scratched the back of his head: "This is the housework of the two of you, it's hard for me as an outsider to tell."

Huang Li urged: "What's wrong with this? You can just say what you think, and I promise Lao Han that there will be no objection."
