King of Industry

At No. XX Yuetan Street, Sanlihe, XC District, Beijing, in front of the magnificent building of the State Planning Commission, Zhao Guoyang and Li Ru stepped out of the car.

After the two stood still, the driver slowly drove the car to the parking lot.

Looking at the rushing crowd passing by the gate of the Planning Commission from time to time, Li Ru smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and made a please gesture and said, Brother Guoyang, please!

Zhao Guoyang gave a hmm and followed behind Li Ru.

As the most important ministry in China, the status of the State Planning Commission is beyond doubt.

Take the number of divisions and bureaus below as an example. The State Planning Commission has 28 functional agencies at the division and bureau level, topping the entire State Council.

In contrast, although the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry can be regarded as an important ministry, the number of bureaus is only a little more than half of that of the Planning Commission.

The special status in the national ministries and commissions also makes the cadres of the Planning Commission sometimes inadvertently reveal a little self-confidence.

When communicating with comrades from other ministries and commissions, the cadres of the planning committee often bring a little psychological advantage.

This is not to say that the cadres of the Planning Commission look down on others, it is just that the environment makes them feel superior.

Generally speaking, when dealing with the cadres of the Planning Commission, as long as you don't show your timidity, they won't look down on you very much.

I'm afraid that if your momentum is weak, if you don't show your own level in a few words, it is only natural that you will be looked down upon by others.

When Zhao Guoyang held a leadership position in a certain research institute in his previous life, he often came here, and he is quite familiar with these situations.

After Li Ru brought Zhao Guoyang into the office area, a staff member who knew him came over to greet him.

Director Li, are you here to attend the meeting of the All-Terrain Vehicle Standardization Technical Committee? In the No. 2 conference room, this way please!

The female staff member in her thirties was talking, walking ahead and preparing to lead the way for Li Ru.

Zhao Guoyang next to him noticed that the lesbian, who seemed to be a cadre, glanced at him with puzzled eyes when he turned around, as if he was a little puzzled.

Just as he was about to explain something, Li Ru beside him spoke up: Director Wang, let me introduce you to Comrade Zhao Guoyang, a 'special researcher' from the 'Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry', who, like me, is here to participate Today's meeting...

While Li Ru was talking, Zhao Guoyang had already taken out his work card with interest and handed it to Director Wang.

Ah... so you are a member of the 'All-Terrain Vehicle' Standardization Technical Committee and the deputy editor-in-chief of the standard compilation, Researcher Zhao, sorry for your disrespect!

He said he was disrespectful, but the expression in the eyes of this Zhou Zheng-looking Director Wang was somewhat disbelieving.

No wonder, Zhao Guoyang's age is indeed too young.

At such a young age, he was appointed as a member of the standardization technical committee and deputy editor-in-chief of the standard compilation. People who are not familiar with him are of course somewhat disapproving.

Of course, Director Wang didn't say much. After exchanging pleasantries with Zhao Guoyang, he led them into the elevator.

The No. 2 meeting room of the Planning Committee is on the top floor. After the three of them got on the elevator, they waited quietly for the elevator to arrive without saying a word.

The sound of ding dong sounded, and the elevator stopped on the sixth floor.

When Zhao Guoyang was wondering, the elevator door was opened.

Then, a familiar figure slowly walked in.

Seeing this majestic old man with gray hair, Director Wang hurriedly greeted him, Ah, Director Qian, which floor do you go to, I'll press it for you...

Hearing the words Director Qian, Zhao Guoyang immediately remembered the identity of this person.

That's right, this leader is none other than Qian Ning, the deputy director of the Planning Commission who I had the honor to meet when I went to the Ministry of Railways last time.

Just as Zhao Guoyang was about to say hello to Director Qian, Li Ru had already spoken out before him.

Director Qian, hello!

Qian Ning obviously also noticed Li Ru and Zhao Guoyang, he and Li Ru nodded in greeting, and just about to turn their heads, their eyes fell on Zhao Guoyang.

At this moment, Director Qian seemed to have discovered a new continent, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Seeing that Director Qian recognized him, Zhao Guoyang rushed to the front to say hello, Hello, Director Qian!

Haha, it's Xiao Zhao! It's been a while since we've seen each other! Why didn't you let me know when you came to the Planning Commission? I've wanted to have a good chat with you for a long time! Qian Ning laughed heartily. .

No, no, I... Zhao Guoyang didn't expect the leader to be so proud of himself, and felt a little surprised at the moment.

Director Wang at the side, seeing Director Qian Ning's friendly attitude towards Zhao Guoyang, felt a little dazed.

Director Qian is notoriously strict in the planning committee, and few people can fall into his eyes.

But judging from the situation in front of him, this Researcher Zhao is undoubtedly appreciated by Director Qian Ning.

Reminiscent of the special status of Researcher Zhao in the newly established All-Terrain Vehicle Standardization Technical Committee, Director Wang understood a little: affectionate people have real skills.

After laughing, Qian Ning seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized: Ah, I remembered. Xiao Zhao, you came to our place to attend the standard meeting of 'all-terrain vehicles', right?

Director Wang next to him heard the words, and hurriedly replied: Yes, Director Qian, I am going to take Director Li and Researcher Zhao to the No. 2 meeting room...

After listening to Director Wang's statement, Qian Ning said with a huh and said, Understood, then Xiao Zhao, you can go to work first. When you have time later, let's have dinner together at noon.

Speaking of this, Qian Ning did not forget to explain to Director Wang: Xiao Wang, the members attending this meeting at noon will all have their meals in the small cafeteria of our Planning Commission, right? Remind me later, I will go too !

After Director Qian said this, Director Wang hurriedly agreed.

No problem, no problem. Our general management office has already arranged the reception. If you come over at noon, which box would you like to sit in?

Hey, there is no need for a private room. The environment of the small cafeteria is already very good. Then I will sit with Guoyang and the others! Director Qian waved his hand.

After the explanation, the elevator also stopped.

When Qian Ning saw the floor he wanted to go to, he nodded with the three of them, and walked out of the elevator with a smile.

After the elevator closed again, when Director Wang looked at Zhao Guoyang again, his eyes had completely changed.

On the contrary, Li Ru knew Zhao Guoyang a long time ago, so he was not surprised.

The No. 2 meeting room of the Planning Committee is a large meeting room in the innermost part of the top floor.

After delivering the two of them, Director Wang greeted them and left slowly.

Because they came earlier, when Li Ru and Zhao Guoyang came, there were not many people in the conference room.

The only two sitting and chatting over there seemed to be researchers from the Planning Commission.

Li Ru had dealt with these two people before, nodded to them, and sat down next to Zhao Guoyang.

Those two people were obviously more curious about the young people around Li Ru. When chatting, they glanced at Zhao Guoyang from time to time.

In this regard, Zhao Guoyang didn't feel anything, and his expression was very calm.

Time passed slowly, and while Li Ru and Zhao Guoyang were discussing some issues of the all-terrain vehicle in a low voice, the number of people in the conference room had gradually increased.

Li Ru had dealt with many people who came in, and nodded to them from time to time.

After greeting Tang Dehua, the deputy director of Huaxia Automotive Technology Research Center, Li Ru lowered his voice and said to Zhao Guoyang: Brother Guoyang, there are quite a few leaders here today, many of them are experts in automobiles. As for scholars, I didn’t think of this before.”

Indeed, Li Ru did not have a particularly deep understanding of the all-terrain vehicle standard meeting before.

In his view, all-terrain vehicles is a brand-new industry in China, and those who have a relatively in-depth understanding of this industry in China may be able to count them on one hand.

In other words, there should not be many people attending the meeting this time.

Who would have thought that there would be no fewer than 50 participants present at this moment, twenty minutes before the start of the meeting.

Moreover, each one's status is not low.

Such as Tang Dehua, deputy director of Huaxia Automotive Technology Research Center, Huang Qiang, secretary-general of the Academic Committee of the City and Small Town Reform and Development Center of the State Planning Commission; Liang Baoguo, Director of the Response Division, and others all appeared in the meeting room.

As time went on, more and more people gathered in the conference room.

Looking at these people talking in low voices around, Li Ru reminded Zhao Guoyang with some kindness: Brother Guoyang, it seems that this meeting may not be that simple. You, the deputy editor-in-chief of the standard compilation, may have to It’s under a lot of pressure.”

Of course, Zhao Guoyang could understand the meaning of Li Ru's words.

He was warning himself that the position of deputy editor-in-chief of standard compilation was not that secure.

After all, there are many experts and scholars in the field of automobiles, and none of them are easy to get along with. They all have the opportunity to sit in their position.

If I can't convince the public with my speech later, maybe some people will question whether I am suitable as the deputy editor-in-chief.

He nodded to Li Ru, but Zhao Guoyang's face was not disturbed at all.

In his opinion, if he, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, can't control even such a meeting and is still questioned by others, those two lifetimes combined to live in his 60s will be in vain.

Just as Zhao Guoyang was thinking secretly, the master of ceremonies at the door of the meeting room announced loudly the arrival of two heavyweights.

Li Hua, deputy director of the Motor Vehicle Safety Research Office of the Public Security Road Traffic Safety Research Center, and Wu Bin, secretary-general of the China Automobile Manufacturers Association.

These two people are very famous in the automobile and motorcycle industry.

As the technical minister of one of the motorcycle manufacturers, how could Zhao Guoyang have never heard of these two names?
