Siheyuan: Promoted to engineer, torturing and weeping animals

Zhang Yi smiled lightly: "Of course. Mr. Kepler, what do you think of this design drawing? Do you still think that our country has no independent research and development capabilities?"

Kepler couldn't lie, because anyone who knew Zhang Yi's design could see its value.

Tian Siqi was already fascinated by the picture, his hands were shaking.

Kepler took a deep breath, nodded to Zhang Yi very politely and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't offend the designers of Huaguo! I have to admit that you are a genius in the mechanical field!"

"Even though I have been in this industry for so many years, I have never met an incredible person like you!"

Seeing Kepler's reaction, the leaders at the table and overseas Chinese businessmen were very surprised.

Because the attitude of these two representatives of foreign businessmen has always been very arrogant, and sometimes, even they don't even have special respect for Li Aimin.

But now, Kepler actually nodded and apologized to Zhang Yi!

One can imagine what this means!

The gazes of Li Aimin and others focused on Zhang Yi's complicated "sketch", and their eyes were extremely hot.

The gaze towards Zhang Yi is even more fiery!

Huaguo has produced a genius in the mechanical field!

This is the hope for the rise of Huaguo industry, it is the fire!

Zhang Yi said to Kepler and Ivanov: "I just want you two to know that the backwardness of our country's industrial level is only temporary."

"There is an old saying in the country of Hua, that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. Now the country of Hua is united, and [-] million compatriots work together to develop."

"People like me will not be the first, nor will they be the last. There will be more Zhang Yi in various fields in the future."

"So everyone, please put away your arrogance, and don't underestimate the strength of our country!"

Chapter 276 Independent research and development, is it difficult?

The design sketch of the rolling mill that Zhang Yi took out used the technology of the end of the 20th century.

He does have more advanced technology, but it cannot be produced under the current production conditions.

But even the sketch of the rolling mill at the end of the 20th century was 30 years ahead of the times, enough to scare Kepler and Ivanov, two representatives of foreign businessmen.

After seeing the sketches, the attitudes of Kepler and Ivanov obviously became much more restrained.

The reason why they dared to be arrogant before was because they believed that Huaguo did not have independent research and development capabilities, and had to rely on them to supply machinery and equipment to maintain production.

But Zhang Yi let them know that Huaguo is not unmanned and has the ability of independent research and development!

This time, the poles are reversed!

They were a lot more honest at the dinner table. After the meal, the two left the scene immediately with an excuse.

After going back, the first thing the two of them did was to report the matter to the head office.

And the headquarters of their company was shocked when they heard the news!

Especially Heisenberg Machinery Manufacturing Company, which is famous for producing rolling mills.

After the boss heard that there was a genius in Huaguo who was able to design the blueprint of the rolling mill, he stood up from his chair in surprise.

"What? Is there such a powerful mechanical designer in that place?"

Kepler nodded, "Yes, boss. You weren't there at the time, oh my God!"

"That sketch looks so perfect. Although he deliberately concealed the key technology, I can see that if it can be developed, it must be more powerful than our latest rolling mill!"

Heisenberg's boss was silent for a long time, and Kepler could hear him pacing up and down the floor.

Soon, the boss instructed: "This year's purchase agreement with them will reduce the price by 20%!"

"20%? This... In this case, our profit will not be much!"

"It has to be done!"

The boss said seriously: "Only in this way, we can let them continue to purchase our products, and then give up the costly and risky independent research and development."

"If this continues, the Huaguo market will continue to provide us with benefits."

Kepler suddenly understood, the boss is indeed the boss, he really knows how to settle accounts!

Now that Huaguo has the ability to develop a rolling mill, if they don't lower the price, they will suffer for a few more years at most.

When people develop it themselves, they will never buy yours again.

It's better to lower the price and make them give up independent research and development by boiling frogs in warm water.

"Ok, I see!"

Kepler immediately called Li Aimin and offered to reduce the purchase contract price for the next year by 20%.

At this time, Li Aimin returned to the rolling mill with a group of observers.

After answering Kepler's call, Li Aimin was in a good mood.

He immediately called Director Yang, Tian Siqi, and Zhang Yi over.

At this time, Zhang Yi has completely become the protagonist of the rolling mill.

Director Yang, Deputy Director Li and Tian Siqi all treat him as a treasure.

Probably because Kepler poached people in public, Director Yang also made a promise to Zhang Yi that he would apply for promotion to a mid-level engineer next year at most.

And the leaders of other factories looked at Zhang Yi, their eyes turned green, and they didn't know how much they envied the second rolling mill for such a talent.

Zhang Yi, Director Yang, and Tian Siqi came to the lounge where Li Aimin was.

Li Aimin was full of joy, and his smile never disappeared on the way back from the hotel.

Seeing Zhang Yi slap foreign business representatives in the face in public and give a bad breath to the domestic industrial field, everyone couldn't know how happy they were!

After the three of them came to the lounge, Li Aimin told everyone the good news that Kepler had asked for a price cut.

"20%, this will save our country millions at once!"

Li Aimin sighed with relief.

Director Yang and Tian Siqi both looked at Zhang Yi.

This credit is all Zhang Yi's.

Zhang Yi lowered his head modestly and did not speak.

But Li Aimin pointed at him and said, "Zhang Yi, you sneakily made a lot of good things!"

"I go to our house to cook every day, but there is no news about it."

It seems to complain, but it is actually gratification and appreciation.

This young man, he must be promoted!

Zhang Yi said with a modest smile: "Great leader, we workers must seek truth from facts and speak with our results. You can't brag about yourself! So I don't dare to talk nonsense until the results are produced."

"If I didn't see the two foreign business representatives being too arrogant today, I wouldn't want to show the blueprint."

Speaking of the blueprint, Li Aimin asked again: "By the way, is your blueprint complete? Can we use it for production and make a domestically produced rolling mill?"

Hearing these words, Director Yang and Tian Siqi also looked at Zhang Yi curiously.

After all, what Zhang Yi took out was just a sketch. Although it is stunning, it may not be produced is another matter.

Zhang Yi smiled lightly, and said to Li Aimin: "I'm not completely sure either. But there is still a [-]% to [-]% certainty. As long as the production conditions are suitable, we can make it!"

Words can't be too full.

Moreover, with the current level of machinery in the country, the lathes are not the most advanced, and it is really not necessarily possible to make a complete rolling mill.

Factory Manager Yang said at this time: "But the problem is that although we have the blueprints, the production conditions may not be able to keep up!"

"Improvement and manufacturing difficulty are not at the same level. Our lathes may not be able to keep up with the requirements!"

At this time, the domestic industrial level is indeed hard to describe.

Especially in terms of industrial standards, it was learned from Yingjiang during the friendly period of Eagle and Rabbit.

After hearing what Director Yang said, Li Aimin also frowned.

"So, don't we still have the ability to produce independently?"

Director Yang smiled and said, "Didn't Kepler reduce the price by 20%? It would be a good idea for us to purchase directly from them. There is no risk, and there will be no delay."

Li Aimin didn't answer him after listening, but looked at Zhang Yi.

"Zhang Yi, what do you think of this matter?"

"I?"

Zhang Yi pointed to his nose and looked at Director Yang and Tian Siqi with a smile.

Director Yang hurriedly said: "If the leader asks you, you should tell the truth."

Zhang Yi nodded.

"I think what Director Yang said makes sense. The cost of independent research and development is high, expensive, and extremely risky."

"In the short term, it is indeed a good way to purchase directly from Kepler."

Li Aimin heard that there was something in Zhang Yi's words, and couldn't help asking: "So what if we look at it in the long run?"

Zhang Yi smiled faintly: "Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in the hand. Didn't the leader say that it is better to have a father than a mother? Only when we can give birth ourselves, will we not be controlled by others in the future."

Chapter 277 Talent and Character Conquer Leadership

Zhang Yi's words made Li Aimin's eyes burst into a burst of relief.

He slapped the table, "That's right! We have to rely on ourselves, and we can't always rely on them. Otherwise, how can we be controlled by others in the future?"

Zhang Yi said again: "However, what Director Yang said is indeed a practical problem. Our current production capacity is limited."

Li Aimin thought for a while and asked Zhang Yidao: "If you are given enough equipment and manpower now, are you sure you can manufacture that kind of rolling mill?"

Zhang Yi glanced at Director Yang and said with a smile, "Our rolling mill is not a place for mechanical production. If you want to manufacture rolling mills, you have to find a place with production capacity."

"However, if the basic conditions are met, I am sure to make our own equipment!"

And not just a rolling mill.
