Chapter 61: Sudden Invitation to Come Over

Of course, isn't this obvious?

Director Fan said.

Then that's good.

Zhang Wen laughed.

Afterwards, Zhang Wen went back to specially make a reduced-scale model of the Transport 20.

He then placed it in the wind tunnel to be blown.

To find the best solution.

Afterwards, Zhang Wen returned to the Qingtian Aircraft Factory.

Upon entering, Zhang Wen pushed open the door to Suyao's office.

How did you come?

Suyao said in surprise.

The large transport aircraft project.

First, make one.

Zhang Wen hadn't even taken a sip of water, anxiously telling Suyao.

Transport aircraft?

Suyao immediately thought of the difficulties and challenges of the transport aircraft.

Oh, don't think about it yet.

Does the Qingtian Aircraft Factory have a department dedicated to designing aircraft engines?

Zhang Wen asked.

That definitely exists.

Suyao said.

But they're currently helping other departments.

Go call them back.

Then we'll talk.

After saying that, Zhang Wen picked up the pen and paper on the desk and began drawing.

What is this? An engine?

Suyao came over, saw Zhang Wen's drawing, and said in surprise.

Are we going to produce our own engine?

Yes. Otherwise, what do you plan to do? Buy it? Which country would sell us such an engine?

Zhang Wen didn't even lift his head.

Buy Maoxiong Guo's.

Suyao said calmly.

Hasn't it always been like that before?

Forget it, have you looked at their maintenance manual? Zhang Wen retorted.

Do you know what one of the steps in the maintenance manual requires?

It requires TMD Volga River water.

I can't exactly run to the Volga River just to fetch water.

Suyao felt embarrassed.

He indeed knew about this.

Wasn't it resolved in the end?

Suyao said.

It was resolved, or we specially sent someone to ask.

They said the Volga River is right beside their factory. Actually, it's just water.

There are too many such things, which would greatly reduce the engine's maintainability and reliability.

Zhang Wen said.

So we have to make it ourselves?

Suyao asked.

Yes. The key is, Factory Director, you and I have this technology.

Zhang Wen was still drawing.

Why haven't you gone yet?

Got it, got it. I'll go right away.

Suyao said.

Hey.

On the first day, Zhang Wen threw out the engine drawings.

He then locked himself in Suyao's office.

He didn't step out at all.

Only the disappearing meals at the door proved he was still alive.

After a week, he finally pushed the door open weakly.

Suyao, Ding Hui, and others had been waiting at the door early.

Upon seeing Zhang Wen, Ding Hui helped him up.

Factory Director, what's wrong with you?

Ding Hui said unexpectedly.

Okay, Suyao, after you go in later, copy each drawing three times—full confidentiality required.

Zhang Wen told Suyao.

"Yes."

Afterwards, Ding Hui helped Zhang Wen walk away.

Suyao entered and took a look.

He was instantly stunned by the sight before him.

An entire office full of drawings.

Almost enough to fill the office.

Outside the door.

Ding Hui helped Zhang Wen into the car.

Factory Director, let's go to the hospital now.

You don't look well.

It's fine.

Zhang Wen steadied himself.

If you're fine, you wouldn't have come to me.

Is something wrong with the automobile factory?

Zhang Wen suddenly asked.

Yes, our cars have taken off; sales have already exceeded 200,000 in the past six months.

Ding Hui said.

That's pretty good.

Zhang Wen agreed.

Yes, this was already written in the monthly report.

But recently the automobile factory received a letter.

This letter.

Ding Hui's words trailed off.

What's up with that letter? Is it a threat?

Hmph, he doesn't even realize where this is.

Zhang Wen straightened up and said.

It's not a threat letter.

It's an invitation.

Can you explain it clearly?

Zhang Wen got a little annoyed, and Ding Hui hemmed and hawed without saying anything.

From: Jingcheng, Industry Department.

It's an invitation to attend a meeting.

Regarding future automobile development.

Ding Hui finished speaking, trembling.

Zhang Wen instantly sobered up.

What?

Are you sure?

Zhang Wen asked doubtfully.

He knew electric cars would definitely catch the eye of the nation's top leaders.

But he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Actually, we're not entirely sure either, since we don't dare to ask.

I heard you have connections, so I came to you.

After Ding Hui finished speaking, Zhang Wen finally understood what was going on.

It turns out Ding Hui didn't dare to ask.

No wonder, although Three Towns City is also a provincial capital.

But connections only go as high as the provincial level.

As for the central government, it's unthinkable.

This Ding Hui kid came to have me feel out the situation.

Alright, I understand.

Now go to the automobile factory and let me see that letter.

After Ding Hui heard that, he immediately drove and pulled Zhang Wen to the automobile factory.

The automobile factory has grown considerably due to several production increases.

Zhang Wen's instruction to Ding Hui was just for the past three years.

Not even a penny of profit needs to be turned over.

All the funds are to be used for development.

That's why this place shows a thriving scene.

However, Zhang Wen estimated that in another two years.

The development of the automobile factory will inevitably stagnate.

Only by relying on intelligentization and informatization can the growth momentum be continued.

Therefore, the production of crystal elements is greatly needed.

Just as Zhang Wen was thinking about it.

Ding Hui immediately stopped the car.

He ran to the office and fetched the letter.

Zhang Wen looked and saw that it was indeed sent by the Ministry of Industry.

It also bore a seal.

But Zhang Wen really did have some doubts.

After all, in this magical era anything could happen.

Before, there had even been an incident where someone impersonated a military region commander and came to the police station to demand a person.

However, Zhang Wen was certain that the way to handle the matter was simple.

Just make a phone call.

Zhang Wen directly took out his phone.

He made a call to Director Yang.

After a few seconds.

Director Yang finally answered.

"Hello, Director Yang, I'm Zhang Wen."

"Oh, it's you, kid."

"What's up, did the transport aircraft project run into trouble?"

"No, no, we've already entered engine manufacturing."

"However, my Sky-supporting Automobile Factory received a letter issued by the State Ministry of Industry."

"I don't know if you know about this matter."

Zhang Wen finished speaking and quietly waited for a reply.

The phone was hung up.

After a few minutes.

The phone rang.

Zhang Wen immediately answered.

From the other end of the line came Director Yang's somewhat surprised voice.

"It's indeed true; the State Ministry of Industry has invited your Sky-supporting Automobile Factory."

"Come to attend a meeting."

"It concerns the future national strategic development."

"Your electric vehicle project is a very important part of it."

"This time, you'd better get well prepared."

Upon hearing the words "development strategy," Zhang Wen immediately realized the value of this invitation.

To be blunt.

As long as you attend this meeting, you will get advance information.

Becoming a billionaire is no problem.

"Looks like I need to prepare well."

Zhang Wen said.

Afterwards, Zhang Wen made a special trip to Jingcheng to gather a large amount of information on import/export, storage, mineral resources, and other types.

As well as interviews with some scientists.

Afterwards, Zhang Wen returned and organized his speech draft.

He wrote the data clearly and plainly.

After a few days, Zhang Wen put on a formal suit.

He arrived in Jingcheng.

He came to the venue of the meeting.

He presented the invitation.

"Hello, I am Zhang Wen, the factory director of Qingtian Factory."
