The train driver in the courtyard

If you want to convince others, you need strong arguments.

In particular, container technology may seem simple, but it is a technology that affects the entire system, and therefore requires sufficient evidence.

Therefore, in the following few days, Li Aiguo did not report the container project immediately, but instead focused his work on compiling information on container technology.

Zhou Qigong came to Beijing this time for the railway track crane.

The production of the crane was handed over to the maintenance workshop, so he simply came to Li Weidong's house to help.

Zhou Qigong is a shipping expert with rich experience and is able to localize the container technology purchased from the system.

“The total weight of the container shall not exceed the marked total weight of the container. The total weight of a 20-foot container shall not exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the terminal.”

In the study room.

Li Aiguo held up the pen and looked up at Zhou Qigong: "Mr. Zhou, what is the maximum lifting capacity of the cranes in domestic ports?"

"We use a tower crane modeled after the East German Architect I, which has a lifting capacity of 20.5 tons."

Zhou Qigong, who was compiling the detailed regulations for the transportation of bulk liquid hazardous goods in containers at the time, raised his head and answered.

"What about other ports?" Li Aiguo asked.

“The situation in each port is different. Some ports still seem to use old-fashioned tower cranes with a lifting capacity of only ten tons.

Some even have only five tons of patriotic comrades, we seem to be in trouble."

Containers must be lifted by cranes before they can be loaded and unloaded.

If the standard weight of a container exceeds the lifting capacity of the dock crane, the container becomes meaningless.

Zhou Qigong realized the seriousness of the problem.

Li Aiguo made a suggestion: "We need to compile standard container weights based on the lifting capacity of cranes at major domestic ports."

"That's easy. Mr. Zheng from the Maritime College is responsible for the design of domestic port crane equipment. He has detailed data on cranes at various ports."

The standard weight of a container is related to transportation safety and maximization of transportation efficiency.

Li Aiguo immediately put down his work, took two days off, and brought Zhou Qigong to Dalian Maritime University.

These days we must also catch up with the UK and the US in education.

In response to the call, Dalian Maritime University proposed to establish a university with 10,000 students and a technical secondary school with 3,000 students, and thus established the Technical Secondary School No. 1 and No. 2.

Due to the expansion of its scale, the first technical secondary school moved from the old campus to Lingshui Bridge in the southwest suburb of DL City.

After several changes of trains, Li Aiguo and Zhou Qigong arrived at the First Technical School, where they found Professor Zheng who specialized in [Port loading and unloading organization and mechanization, fleet transport organization].

When Professor Zheng saw Zhou Qigong coming to his house, he frowned and said, "Qigong, our container technology has been rejected by the ministry. Why don't you give up? If you continue like this..."

Professor Zheng did not say anything because there was a stranger, Li Aiguo, next to him.

But Zhou Qigong felt warm in his heart.

He held Professor Zheng's hand tightly and lowered his voice: "Teacher, I am indeed here for container technology this time, but it has nothing to do with our department."

Zhou Qigong pointed at Li Aiguo and said, "This is Comrade Li Aiguo, the train driver of Qianmen Locomotive Depot. He was the one who proposed the container technology.

He is confident that he can convince the railway department to develop container technology, but we are now encountering some minor problems."

"It's true that the Ministry of Railways is interested in the centralized box technology. This thing is a good thing. Unfortunately, the people in our Ministry of Transport are too short-sighted."

Professor Zheng sighed for a few words and let Li Aiguo and Zhou Qigong into the office.

After learning that the two were looking for crane data at ports across the country, he stood up and took out a thick stack of information from the bookcase.

“Here are the crane data for each port.”

Looking at the thick stack of information, Li Aiguo's head was buzzing.

It would take at least half a month to figure out all this stuff.

In addition, in addition to the lifting data.

Trucks transporting containers must also be able to pass through various ports, and even the railway carriages must be appropriately modified according to the specific conditions of the ports.

All of these require an expert to be responsible.

Li Aiguo looked at Professor Zheng who was reading the materials and smiled: "Professor Zheng, are you willing to help us improve the container technology?"

His hand paused on the page of the book, Professor Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo with an incredible look.

"Driver Li, to be honest, I am very optimistic about container technology, but I am a professor at the Maritime College and I also have teaching responsibilities."

Li Aiguo said easily: "This is easy. I can transfer you to the Beijing Locomotive Depot temporarily to participate in the work of compiling container standards as a consultant."

"You are a train driver, and you transferred me to work in Beijing?" Professor Zheng couldn't help rubbing his ears.

He didn't look down on Li Aiguo.

But for a temporary transfer like this, not only the consent of the leaders of the Maritime Academy is required, but also the approval of the leaders of the Ministry of Transport.

These are not something a small train driver can do.

Li Aiguo did not answer him, but looked up at Zhou Qigong: "Old Zhou, besides Teacher Zheng, is there another Teacher Dong who is also interested in container technology?"

Zhou Qigong nodded: "Teacher Dong is an expert in water transport management. Most of the dispatching rules for domestic docks were drafted by Teacher Dong."

After Zhou Qigong finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

What’s going on? In addition to Professor Zheng, he is also planning to bring Professor Zhou to Beijing?

"Well!"

Li Aiguo did not answer him. Instead, he looked at Professor Zheng and pointed to the phone on the desk: "Can I use the phone?"

Professor Zheng didn't know what Li Aiguo was going to do, but he nodded in agreement.

Li Aiguo picked up the phone and shook it for a while. After the call was connected, he said into the receiver: "Hello, please transfer me to the office of Director Liu of the Beijing Railway Research Institute."

When they heard the name of the Railway Research Institute, Zhou Qigong and Professor Zheng looked at each other, not understanding what Li Aiguo was going to do.

The Railway Research Institute has no control over the Ministry of Transport.

After the call was connected, Liu Guozhang's slightly complaining voice came from the receiver: "Aiguo, aren't you driving a train? How come you have time to call an old man like me?"

Li Aiguo knew clearly that Liu Guozhang had something against him.

This story has to start from the Iron Group Congress in Bulgaria.

After the conference, the railway automatic signal became the signal standard in the big family, and the next step was to promote the railway automatic signal. Due to the advanced and reliable railway automatic signal technology, the promotion work quickly achieved results.

Hungary, the Czech Republic and Iraq sent people to discuss technology transfer and equipment sales with us.

At that time, the Railway Research Institute intended to ask Li Aiguo to receive the expert groups from the three companies, but Li Aiguo declined on the grounds that he still had to operate the train.

"Teacher, if I'm not mistaken, the three companies have already signed the agreement, right?" Li Aiguo asked with a smile.

"That's right, you guessed it right. They had already made an agreement before they came, and they have no objection to the Railway Corps being responsible for the construction work. If you have time, come to the institute to collect the certificate."

Faced with this student, Liu Guozhang was somewhat discouraged.

The reason Li Aiguo rejected the Railway Research Institute at the beginning was that the standards are now in our hands, and as long as we don’t make excessive demands, they will definitely not have any objections.

If Xiaomei's family understood the standards, they would definitely bite off a piece of flesh from the other party.

The biggest difference between our family and Xiaomei's family is that we have never had the habit of bullying others.

But we are worried that customers will think the prices are high and will not accept our reasonable requests.

Excessive modesty is actually low self-esteem.

Li Aiguo could not blame old comrades like Liu Guozhang.

They grew up in difficult times, we were not as strong as us, and they have developed the habit of worrying and being afraid.

Habits have inertia and are difficult to change in a short period of time.

Liu Guozhang finally followed the negotiation strategy given by Li Aiguo and conducted fair negotiations with the three parties.

Facts also proved Li Aiguo's foresight.

Compared with the original strategy, the Railway Research Institute obtained at least tens of thousands of additional foreign exchange.

At the same time, an important achievement was also achieved - the railway troops will go to the three companies to be responsible for the construction of the automatic railway signals for the other party.

Construction work not only earns a lot of foreign exchange, but also increases a lot of international reputation.

The Railway Research Institute was commended by the ministry for its outstanding performance in the negotiations.

Although Li Aiguo did not participate in the negotiations, he was still reported as a hero.

This is why there is a saying about receiving a certificate.

This is what it means to be an official if you have someone in the court.

I won a big award while lying flat.

Delicious.

"Teacher, if you want to receive the certificate, you will probably have to wait two days. I am now at Dalian Maritime University. I want to ask you for a favor."

Li Aiguo was about to express his thoughts when he suddenly covered the microphone and looked up at Professor Zheng: "Professor, your name. Oh, and Professor Dong's name."

This phone call had no beginning or end.

What about Hungary and Czech? Professor Zheng understood them like a mystery.

Now after hearing what Li Aiguo said, he was even more confused and stood there in a daze for a while.

It was Zhou Qigong who reacted quickly and told Li Aiguo the names of Professor Zheng and Professor Dong.

Li Aiguo said into the microphone: "I have designed a small technology that can speed up transportation. I need the help of Professor Zheng Li and Professor Dong Fangzhuo from the Maritime College."

"This technology is not mature yet and may not pass the discussion within the ministry. Some preliminary preparation work is needed."

"Yes, I hope to transfer the two professors to our Qianmen Locomotive Depot maintenance workshop temporarily. In name only."

Li Aiguo frowned and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Manufacture railway track lifting equipment!"

After receiving Liu Guozhang's affirmative response, Li Aiguo hung up the phone and sat back in his chair.

At this time, Professor Zheng was already dumbfounded: "Driver Li, what now? Aren't you going to transfer me to Beijing? Why don't you take action?"

"The operation is over." Li Aiguo said with a smile.

"Driver Li, you can transfer us away with just one phone call, don't you think..."

Professor Zheng wanted to say "arrogant", but hesitated for a moment and changed the word: "Isn't it a bit arrogant?"

"Wait." Li Aiguo did not explain. He took out a large navy cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Qigong and Professor Zheng.

Professor Zheng didn't understand what Li Aiguo was waiting for, but he could only take the cigarette in a daze.

A middle-aged man in a blue-black Mao suit pushed open the office door and walked in.

"I heard that Qi Gong is back, but why doesn't he come to my office to sit down?"

"Old Dong, you've come at the right time. The two of us will be transferred to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot in Beijing to manufacture cranes." When Professor Zheng saw Dong Fangzhuo coming in, he pulled him aside and explained the situation.

"You can transfer us with just one phone call? You are boasting without limit? How did Qi Gong make friends with such a person? No, I have to go and remind him."

As Dong Fangzhuo spoke, he was about to pull Zhou Qigong's arm.

At this time, the phone rang.

The rapid ringing of the bell was like the flash of a camera, and the entire office was instantly frozen into a photo.

Professor Zheng is a university professor and usually doesn't have any urgent matters. Phone charges are very expensive these days, so the phone is almost a decoration.

Now the phone is ringing.

Thinking of the call Li Aiguo had just made, Professor Zheng's face changed.

Could it be that the phone call the train driver just made worked?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Teacher, please answer the phone." Zhou Qigong urged, and Professor Zheng finally reacted.

He took a deep breath and picked up the phone.

I don’t know what was said on the phone.

Professor Zheng's face turned red little by little, he nodded repeatedly into the phone, and his hand holding the receiver began to tremble.

After Professor Zheng put down the phone, Professor Dong couldn't wait to ask, "Old Zheng, what's wrong?"

Professor Zheng raised his head and squeezed out an incredible voice from his throat: "Boss, we have been transferred to manufacture cranes."

Professor Dong: “.”
