Chapter 206 The greatest heroes are those who benefit the country and its people!
afternoon.
A Hongqi sedan drove into the Yanjing Hotel.
The car did not enter the underground parking lot.
It turned a corner, drove up the ramp, and stopped at the main entrance.
Seeing this, the security guard did not step forward to stop them.
Instead, he quickly picked up a reflective cone and placed it at the entrance of the ramp.
The Hongqi sedan must not be allowed to leave; no other vehicle should be allowed to enter.
However, the Hongqi sedan did not stay for long; it picked up a young man and quickly drove away.
In the back seat of the car, Director Wu solemnly reminded him:
"The meeting will take place from 1:30 to 2:00, which is half an hour."
"Before the meeting, you will need to hand over your personal belongings for inspection."
"In principle, no electronic devices are allowed in the meeting room..."
Zhao Ruilong listened silently.
This wasn't my first time meeting with President Shen, so I naturally knew the proper etiquette.
"I only brought my laptop, nothing else."
"Then take it out now and let Captain Li check it!"
"no problem!"
Zhao Ruilong handed the laptop bag to Captain Li in the passenger seat.
As the captain of the imperial guards, Captain Li naturally conducted a very thorough inspection.
I not only turned on the laptop and confirmed that it was functioning properly.
They also carefully checked the handbag inside and out.
Finally, he shut down the laptop and took out tools from the armrest box.
Open the back cover of the computer to confirm that the computer has not been modified in any way.
After checking everything and finding nothing wrong, he picked up the communicator.
"On duty, vehicle Yan O-00012 will enter in three minutes."
"Received from duty officer."
After retrieving his handbag, Zhao Ruilong looked out the window.
The magnificent city gate towers, the grand and spacious square...
Do not know why.
Zhao Ruilong suddenly remembered Soldiers Sortie.
I recall the scene in the drama where the retired sergeant Shi Jin said that after guarding the capital for so many years, he had never been to Tiananmen Square.
Company Commander Gao Cheng then had someone drive him across the main street. Shi Jin looked around curiously, tears welling up in his eyes, and finally he broke down in sobs.
At this moment, Zhao Ruilong was naturally also somewhat excited.
Before transmigrating, I was just an insignificant ordinary person among the masses, whose greatest wish was to earn more money.
Now that I am no longer an ordinary citizen, I naturally want to do something that can both defy fate and benefit the country and its people.
soon.
The Hongqi sedan drove off the main road, turned, and entered a gate.
The guards on either side of the gate stood at attention and saluted.
Shady trees and towering pavilions.
As the car drove into a courtyard, Zhao Ruilong prepared to get out.
After turning off and handing over their cell phones, and undergoing a body search, they were taken to the meeting room.
Before he could even sit down properly, Secretary-General Su Changli knocked on the door and came in.
"Ruilong, President Shen asked me to take you to his office."
"May I?"
Zhao Ruilong stood up in surprise.
"Why can't you do that? It's not like you've never been inside before!"
Su Changli beckoned, and after Zhao Ruilong approached, he whispered:
"However, we must pay attention to the time this time, as we have a meeting with foreign guests at 2:15."
"understand!"
Zhao Ruilong secretly made his plans.
Half an hour is enough to explain the high-speed rail situation clearly.
Furthermore, to enhance persuasiveness and to more directly explain to President Shen why it is necessary to cooperate with Himmler first.
Zhao Ruilong didn't even get a proper rest at noon; he specially prepared a PPT to give a thorough explanation.
soon.
I entered the familiar office.
That awe-inspiring and powerful aura is back.
"You've come at the perfect time! Come and sit down!"
Mr. Shen, wearing glasses, waved with a smile.
As soon as Zhao Ruilong sat down across from the desk, he waved a report in his hand.
"Zhang Jingchong from Linjiang Province submitted a report proposing to regulate the development of the after-school tutoring industry."
“I looked at it from left to right, from top to bottom, and no matter how I looked at it, I felt that such a forward-looking report could not have been written by him.”
“I called him and he readily admitted that the report was inspired by you and that many of the viewpoints in it were put forward by you.”
Zhao Ruilong was stunned.
You bastard Zhang Jinchong!
Submitting a report so quickly suggests an overly eager desire for advancement and recognition.
"That day I went to Linjiang Province to talk to him about investing in Jinghai and developing the wind power industry. After we finished talking, he invited me to his home. On the way, we encountered people handing out flyers..."
Zhao Ruilong had nothing to hide, so he briefly explained the situation.
After listening, President Shen smiled and pointed at Zhao Ruilong.
"You're really something, kid!"
"Let alone Zhang Jinchong, even I didn't realize that tutoring was harmful."
"On the one hand, it may be because there are not many parents and children taking extra classes yet, so it hasn't become a big trend."
"On the other hand, it's also because we didn't take it seriously and didn't think about its pros and cons in detail."
"After reading this report, I felt a chill run down my spine. Luckily, you noticed it in time!"
"Education is the foundation of a nation. It is not only related to our prosperity and strength, but also to the inheritance of our civilization. We must not be careless about it!"
Since the conversation had already turned to this point, Zhao Ruilong naturally couldn't help but casually say:
"Our country is vast, populous, and its regional development is uneven, so education should especially focus on fairness and universality, so that all children have the right to receive education."
"For children in impoverished areas, education is arguably their only way to change their destiny. If this path is blocked, it will truly be difficult for children from poor families to achieve success!"
"Yes Yes!"
President Shen nodded repeatedly.
After putting the report down, I turned the page.
"At the end of the report, some suggestions were made, which I don't quite understand."
"For example, I don't quite understand the requirement to strengthen the compilation and review of textbooks and extracurricular reading materials."
"With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, it is necessary to ensure that education keeps pace with the times, but is it still necessary to strengthen the review process to prevent the intrusion of ideas and culture and the subversion of ideology? Who would be so bold?"
Zhao Ruilong nodded emphatically.
"Of course it's necessary!"
"Due to our backwardness and vulnerability to attack in modern times, even after decades of hard work to catch up, we are still lagging behind the West in many areas."
"In addition, through various forms of propaganda and guidance from the West, there are quite a few people within our ranks who worship the West or even betray us."
"They may not have the guts to openly distort history and spread rumors and slander, but they dare to maliciously vilify us and frantically praise the West."
"For example, the illustrations in the book can depict us Chinese as ugly, treacherous and snobbish, while Westerners are depicted as handsome, beautiful, sunny and cheerful."
"There are also fabricated articles, such as the idea that people in Japan wash their plates seven times, that toilets are so clean you can drink from them, and that Americans would shut down the whole country to save a bird."
“Isn’t it cultural invasion to subtly insert these kinds of plots that vilify Chinese people and praise the West into books and films, thus influencing the thinking of Chinese people in a subtle way?”
President Shen's face instantly turned angry.
"These traitors are truly despicable!"
"And I've found quite a few of those articles you just mentioned."
Zhao Ruilong sneered, "Of course, many scoundrels have infiltrated those newspapers and magazines, and some have even been fed by foreign countries, so naturally they will write a lot of biased articles."
"Yes, this issue must be taken very seriously!"
President Shen slammed his fist on the table.
"For our Dragon Kingdom to become prosperous and strong, it's not enough to just fill the pockets of its people; we must also strengthen their spiritual and cultural well-being!"
"Without cultural confidence and institutional confidence, there is no such thing as great power confidence. And without even this basic confidence, no matter how much development we make, we will always feel inferior to others."
Zhao Ruilong chimed in, "That's right. We can ignore those who have been kneeling for so long that they can no longer stand up or straighten their backs, but we must never let teenagers be poisoned."
General Manager Shen nodded repeatedly and picked up the report.
"So the report you gave Zhang Jingchong advice on, which he managed to write, is very well written!"
"It truly shows that it is for the country and the people, and that it takes a long-term perspective. It has given me profound inspiration and warning!"
Zhao Ruilong smiled slightly.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "This is one of the advantages of being a time traveler."
The Dragon Kingdom in this world has not yet officially joined the WTO.
Therefore, even before the economy experienced rapid growth, it was subjected to various forms of infiltration.
Taking preventative measures in advance can help avoid some problems from occurring.
However, with limited time for the talks, Zhao Ruilong had to quickly steer the conversation toward the high-speed rail dispute.
"The economic base determines the superstructure!"
"The main reason why those scoundrels are willing to praise the West is that they have received government subsidies or want to curry favor with their foreign masters."
"If we want to enhance our national self-confidence, in addition to promoting our excellent and brilliant historical culture and national traditions, we must also accelerate our development."
"Only when our science and technology advance, our industry becomes strong, our national defense becomes powerful, and our economy prospers will we be able to hold our heads high and have genuine confidence from the bottom of our hearts!"
"Otherwise, we will still be lagging behind in every aspect, still poor and backward, with countless people living worse lives than others, and even being bullied and suppressed from time to time. Where will our confidence come from?"
"If the mobile phones we use, the cars we drive, the airplanes and high-speed trains we ride, and the medical equipment we use for examinations and treatments—all kinds of high-tech products—are always led by the West, how can we talk about confidence?"
At this point, Zhao Ruilong took out his laptop from his briefcase.
We need to explain in detail that introducing the world's most advanced high-speed rail technology will be more conducive to digesting and absorbing it, and then innovating independently to develop a high-speed rail industry with Chinese characteristics.
However, before the computer was even turned on, Mr. Shen stood up and said:
"I know that to succeed, one must be strong oneself, and development is the only way forward!"
"We must unswervingly implement the strategy of invigorating the country through science and education and vigorously develop high-end industries!"
Mr. Shen picked up a model of a Type 919 passenger plane from the shelf and placed it in front of Zhao Ruilong.
“Every time I fly to various places for inspection or visit countries, I think, when will our Dragon Country be able to build a first-class civilian large aircraft?”
“In the past, we had a weak industrial base, a shortage of aviation talent, and poor economic strength, so we couldn’t build large aircraft. I don’t believe we can’t do it now.”
"Look, shortly after the large aircraft project was officially launched, the results started to emerge one after another. The development of aero engines began, and the overall aircraft design was finalized."
At this point, President Shen asked with a smile:
"I heard that you were the one who had Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) design the aircraft like this?"
"Yup!"
Zhao Ruilong said without any modesty, "A single-aisle medium-range passenger plane basically looks like this."
"Boeing's B737 and Airbus's A320, both in the same class, have each produced thousands of aircraft to date and have undergone long-term market validation..."
Zhao Ruilong gave a long explanation, as fierce as a tiger.
They would only say that the design was completed so quickly because they were able to proceed cautiously, learning by trial and error.
Of course, he wouldn't say that he was a time traveler and knew that domestically produced large aircraft in another world looked like this.
They directly asked Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) to design the aircraft according to their own requirements.
This way, you won't need to spend too much time and money on market research and feasibility studies.
"For newcomers, imitation is indeed a more convenient and faster path to success!"
"We can avoid the detours, mistakes, and errors that others have made..."
Mr. Shen rested his hands on the edge of the desk.
After looking at the airplane model for a while, he suddenly looked up at Zhao Ruilong, who had already opened his laptop.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhao Ruilong quickly said, "The procurement and technology introduction of high-speed trains have been delayed for a long time, and I would like to report to you about it."
President Shen chuckled softly.
"Do we even need to report this? We'll cooperate with whoever is most beneficial to us!"
"Besides, you can make the final decision on the design of large aircraft, so why can't you decide who to cooperate with on high-speed rail?"
Zhao Ruilong gave an awkward laugh.
"Things are different."
"As for COMAC in China, I not only contributed money and effort, but also held a significant share of the company. Furthermore, I presented a very reliable R&D plan, so naturally everyone was willing to listen to me."
"But the Yanhu High-speed Railway... the Railway Administration is the major shareholder. The high-speed trains are not independently developed, but rather a market-for-technology exchange. People have different preferences, so naturally their opinions differ."
Mr. Shen laughed and said, "Then you don't need to prepare a PPT to report to me, right? Just tell me your thoughts directly, isn't that enough?"
"..."
Zhao Ruilong was taken aback.
How can this be allowed?
If I had known you trusted me so much, I wouldn't have bothered with making this PPT!
But since we're already here and have already done it, how can we not show it off?
"Words are no proof; let me show you a brief introduction using a PowerPoint presentation!"
"Otherwise, if someone questions you later, you won't be able to refute them with reason and evidence!"
Mr. Shen chuckled.
"Does anyone still dare to question me?"
"If, I mean if!"
Zhao Ruilong gave an awkward smile, placed the computer on the table, glanced at the time, and quickly began his presentation.
A few minutes later.
Zhao Ruilong finished his presentation in a reasoned, concise, and to-the-point manner.
Mr. Shen tapped the table lightly with his fingertips and gave a cold smile.
"Since the first phase of the Yanhu High-speed Railway project is mainly a collaboration between your Handong Province and Tianhai City, then let's proceed according to your plan!"
"Anyway, aren't there going to be many more high-speed railways to be built later? I see that there are quite a few intercity express railways and mountain high-speed railways with lower speeds in the plan."
"The other three international high-speed rail giants that couldn't cooperate this time will have plenty of opportunities to participate in our country's high-speed rail construction in the future, so why rush it?"
His gaze fell on the airplane model, and Mr. Shen gently raised his hand and brought it to his face.
With a light touch, he traced his fingers from the nose to the tail of the plane, and then fiddled with the wing.
In his eyes, this is not just an airplane model, but a reflection of China's dream of becoming a leading aviation industry power.
"In two more months, we'll know whether our Yanjing will be able to successfully bid for the 2008 Summer Olympics."
"If the bid is successful, do you think our domestically produced aircraft will be able to soar in the blue sky and high-speed trains will be able to shuttle across the land before the opening of the Olympic Games?"
Seeing the hopeful look on President Shen's face, Zhao Ruilong said firmly:
"Seven more years, of course it can be achieved!"
"If I can't do it, I'm not a Zhao!!"
