Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 95 Electric Vehicle Industry

When Yang Ning saw the person coming, he quickly stood up.

"Chief!"

The person who came was Director Nie, who was in charge of this area, and he was followed by several leaders who were obviously in high positions.

"What have you come up with? I was in a meeting, and when I heard that you had come up with something new, I hurried over."

Director Nie looked at the pile of tools on the ground, then looked at Yang Ning and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yang Ning was a little bit amused and helpless. He just wanted to make it more convenient for his wife to go to and from get off work, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss.

So Yang Ning quickly introduced the situation to Director Nie and the others, then said with a wry smile: "It's just a simple bicycle converted into an electric car, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

In Yang Ning's opinion, our own domestically produced motorcycles have been put into production in the past few years, so electric vehicles should not be of much use yet.

However, after hearing Yang Ning's explanation, the leaders who came with him were not disappointed. Instead, their eyes lit up.

So one of the men in suits asked impatiently.

"How is the power after the modification? Can this type of car be further improved?"

Yang Ning looked at him doubtfully, then glanced at Director Nie covertly.

When Director Nie saw Yang Ning's eyes, he immediately understood what Yang Ning was thinking.

In this era, people have always dressed rather simply, so Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a little worried when a man in a suit and tie suddenly appeared.

So he smiled and introduced the people behind him to Yang Ning. Except for a few people who were vague and did not want to reveal their identities, there was also the head of the police station. The man in a suit and tie turned out to be from the Foreign Trade Department. No wonder he was dressed like that.

After Director Nie finished his introduction, he took a look at the surroundings and said with a smile, "Why, now that we are here, why don't you invite us in to sit down?"

"Oh, please come in, leaders." Yang Ning also reacted at this time and said quickly.

Seeing Yang Ning going upstairs with his tie, Hu Yinghong hurriedly followed him.

Although the others were a little disappointed, they also understood the priorities of the matter. Knowing that the leader must have something to talk to Yang Ning about, they quietly put away their tools and cleaned up the place.

"Please take a seat, leaders." Yang Ning greeted them quickly after entering the room.

Hu Yinghong also poured tea for the leaders and then went out.

Director Nie looked around Yang Ning's room and asked with concern, "How is it? Do you have any difficulties in life?"

Yang Ning smiled and said, "No, the organization has made very thorough arrangements."

"That's good. If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I'll try my best to solve them for you."

Yang Ning knew that Director Nie was not being polite and that he truly valued scientific researchers.

After everyone sat down, the leader of the Foreign Trade Department quickly asked: "Comrade Yang Ning, is there any room for further improvement of this modified electric car?"

"Leader, are you planning to export electric vehicles to earn foreign exchange?" Yang Ning asked the leader of the Foreign Trade Department.

"I have this idea." The leader of the Foreign Trade Department nodded: "Although I know there is no electric car market in Europe and the United States, we still have a certain influence in Xiangjiang and Las Vegas. If we can have a product to open up the market there, we can not only get the foreign exchange we need, but also strengthen our influence there."

After hearing this, Yang Ning thought for a while and felt that it could be done.

After all, for Xiangjiang and Ducheng, which have relatively small areas, electric vehicles can definitely meet most of the living needs.

So Yang Ning did not hide anything and introduced the development trend of electric vehicles to the leaders based on the appearance and performance of electric vehicles in the future.

Of course, according to current production technology, Yang Ning can only talk about some design functions that are suitable for the current situation.

Then Yang Ning took out paper and pen and drew some designs on the drawing.

Due to the limitations of motor technology and fast charging technology, Yang Ning only showed the design of electric motorcycles and electric tricycles. As for electric cars, let's wait and see.

"That means that with the current technology, we can definitely make a small electric vehicle for short distances?"

"Yeah!" Yang Ning nodded after hearing the leader's question: "If it's bigger, the power and charging of the electric motor will be a big problem. It's not as convenient as refueling the engine."

"That's good. If the technical requirements are higher, we won't be able to produce it!" The leader of the Foreign Trade Department said with satisfaction after listening.

"Comrade Yang Ning, when you modify it in the future, can we from the public security department send a few people over to learn from you?"

At this time, the public security leader who had been silent looked at Yang Ning and asked.

"Old Zheng, why are you police officers joining in the fun?"

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade looked at the leader of Public Security and asked in confusion.

The public security leader smiled bitterly and said, "You know, although we police have a heavy workload, we don't get the chance to get the good stuff."

"This has greatly affected our response speed. Now that we have such a simple and convenient tool, if we don't take the initiative, who knows when it will be our turn?"

"Haha, Old Zheng is really smart. He knows to eat it first, no matter what it is."

The other leaders burst into laughter after hearing what Leader Zheng said.

"Okay, Comrade Yang Ning, we won't bother you anymore, but we're going to take these things you just drew away. As for how to arrange them, we need to discuss it with the expert group before we can decide."

Director Nie saw that the matter was finished, so he stood up and said goodbye. A group of leaders came suddenly and left in a hurry.

In the following time, Yang Ning started his modification project again, and did not stop until the sun set.

"Mom, how is my dad?" When Yang Ning returned home, his mother had already returned from his father's place to prepare dinner.

"That's great. I'm very comfortable at home alone."

The mother shook the water off her hands and said with an unhappy look on her face.

What happened? Wasn't he so happy when he went back? Why did he become like this when he came back?

"Mom, what did my dad do?" Yang Ning asked curiously.

You have to know that although their mother was the head of the family before, she rarely got angry with her father.

On the one hand, my father is usually soft-tempered and basically does whatever my mother says. On the other hand, my mother also has to consider my father's face.

Mother was so angry today, Yang Ning thought: Could it be that father’s rebellious period, which had been delayed for decades, has finally arrived?
Well, after figuring out the cause of the incident, Yang Ning was also to blame.

It turned out that with the advancement of public-private partnership, Han the butcher who used to sell meat in their alley also followed the pace of the times and responded to the call to join the meat processing plant.

Because of Yang Ning’s reminder last year, his son changed his age by one year and became a worker with him.

In order to thank Yang Ning for his reminder, he took his father to his house for a drink on Sunday, but he was met by his mother who happened to be returning home.

Of course, my mother didn’t object to my father drinking with others. It was okay for him to drink a little on a normal basis, but she was afraid that something might happen to him if he drank too much.

This time, my father took advantage of his drunkenness and said a few words back when my mother talked to him, which made my mother angry.

"I won't care about him anymore. He's annoying anyway. He can live his life however he wants."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that my mother is now vowing that she will no longer care about my father and looks like she is determined to break up with him.

But Yang Ning knew that as long as his father turned around and admitted his mistake, in his mother's heart, his father's position would still be higher than her two sons.
