  Chapter 639 The Difficulties of Taking Feiming

  Following the car of Director Wang of the Ministry of Construction to Xueyuan Road, Zhao Guoyang just got off the car when he saw a group of young students walking by the construction site, talking and laughing.

  Under the roar of the excavator, their conversation was covered up a lot, but it didn't affect their interest in the conversation at all.

   Seeing the sunshine and brilliance on the faces of these young people, Zhao Guoyang felt a little emotional.

  Before rebirth, he often came here to give lectures and give reports in various colleges and universities.

   At that time, the road here had been repaired long ago, and the environment was much better than now, except of course the air quality.

  Get out of the car together with him, Director Wang noticed Zhao Guoyang's gaze, and explained with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, there are many colleges and universities, and there are a lot of students in this area of ​​Xueyuan Road."

   "I know, the Eighth Colonel is here!" Zhao Guoyang nodded and said.

   "Yeah, Researcher Zhao also knows about the eight universities?" Wang Shou couldn't help asking when he heard the words.

  Zhao Guoyang gave a "hmm" and didn't say much.

  After the founding of New China, how to better develop the social economy and improve people's living standards is one of the problems that the country needs to solve urgently.

  The original system of higher education, especially engineering education, is extremely incompatible with the need to establish an independent and complete national industrialization system.

  In this context, in 1952, the state decided to make major adjustments to colleges and universities across the country. In addition to retaining some comprehensive universities, according to the teaching experience of the Soviet Union, the big brother of socialism, it split and reorganized according to professional settings to establish various professional colleges.

  As the capital of China and the political center, Beijing’s colleges and universities are naturally at the forefront in this merger of departments, doing their part and being very active.

  In this way, the state chose to build a "college district" in the northwest suburb of the capital.

   At that time, Beijing University, Huaqing University, Yenching University and many professional schools merged and reorganized 8 highly specialized colleges and universities.

   Namely: Jingcheng Institute of Geology, Jingcheng Institute of Mining, Jingcheng Institute of Iron and Steel Industry, Jingcheng Institute of Aeronautics, Jingcheng Institute of Petroleum, Jingcheng Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, Jingcheng College of Forestry and Jingcheng Medical College.

  This is the origin of the "Eight Colleges".

Seeing Zhao Guoyang's pensive look, Wang Shouyi smiled and led him the way: "Researcher Zhao, let's go to the construction site over there first. There is an overpass under construction, there may be something you need to see .”

   "Okay, please trouble Director Wang!" Zhao Guoyang thanked Wang Shouyi, and then followed his footsteps.

   Of course, Zhao Guoyang is no stranger to the prototype overpass in front of him.

   This is where Xueyuan Road intersects with the future North Fourth Ring Road. Not far in front is another well-known university in Huaxia——Beijing Film Academy.

  Although in terms of geographical location, the Beijing Film Academy is already outside the scope of Xueyuan Road, but due to fame and other factors, it is generally classified as Xueyuan Road.

   It's just that it doesn't belong to the "Eight Colleges".

  Following Wang Shou to the construction site, Zhao Guoyang found that he seemed to be surrounded by a bunch of large cranes.

  These cranes are scattered in different branches, and they are operating almost non-stop.

  As the leader of the competent department, the arrival of Wang Shouyi naturally attracted the attention of the person in charge of the construction site.

   Not long after, a tall, thin, neatly dressed middle-aged man wearing a hard hat, accompanied by several people, rushed to the scene.

   "Ah, Wang Chu, rare visitor! Why are you free to come and guide the work today?"

  The man who came shook Wang Shouyi's hand and said with a smile on his face.

Wang Shouyi seemed to be quite familiar with this person. After hearing the other party's question, he laughed and said, "Mr. Mao, didn't I just say that I just brought a friend to visit the construction site and inspect the construction equipment?" .Why are you still working hard for you, the boss?"

  After hearing this, the tall and thin man naturally looked at Zhao Guoyang behind Wang Shouyi.

   "Uh, this is the friend Director Wang mentioned, right? Hello, hello! I'm Mao Feiming from the Beijing Third Construction Company!"

   Hearing that others reached out to him, Zhao Guoyang was naturally not reserved, so he nodded to the boss quickly, and said politely: "Boss Mao, excuse me!"

  When Zhao Guoyang shook hands with Mr. Mao, Wang Shouyi introduced from the side: "Mr. Mao, Researcher Zhao is a 'special researcher' of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, and a technical talent enjoying the 'National Special Allowance'."

   "He came here today, mainly to inspect the use of machinery and equipment in our capital's infrastructure!"

  After listening to Wang Shouyi's introduction, Mr. Mao and the few followers behind him were stunned.

  In their impression, researchers who "enjoy special state allowances" are all leaders in all walks of life.

   There must be at least fifty people like this, right?

   But the "Researcher Zhao" in front of him looks a little too young.

  Of course, Mao Feiming and Wang Shouyi are very familiar with each other, knowing that Director Wang will never just talk about it.

   Moreover, just looking at this researcher Zhao's temperament, and his calm and calm appearance, it seems to be the case.

   After the group welcomed Wang Shouyi and Zhao Guoyang, they talked and laughed and took them to visit the construction site under construction.

  After taking a quick look around, Zhao Guoyang also had a general understanding of the progress of the project and the gaps in mechanical equipment.

  Looking at Mr. Mao who was carefully accompanying him, he asked, "Mr. Mao, after looking at it just now, is the construction efficiency of our project a bit low?"

   Before making a sound, Zhao Guoyang continued: "I just took a look, and the number of cranes and excavators on the construction site is far from enough."

   "Most of the time, when one team finishes their work, the other team immediately picks up the machine and continues to use it... In this way, safety is not guaranteed; second, inefficiency is almost an inevitable result!"

  After listening to Zhao Guoyang's words, Mao Feiming's face turned red.

  He originally thought that this "Researcher Zhao" with a background in machinery was just here to take a look. Who knew that he pointed out the biggest problem on the construction site as soon as he came, and he deserved the title of "Special Researcher".

  Coughed awkwardly, Mao Feiming nodded with difficulty, and explained: "Researcher Zhao, you are right. The main reason why the construction progress of our Fourth Ring Road is so slow is this equipment."

Sighing, Mao Feiming continued to speak: "If you want to say that our Beijing No. 2 Construction Company can be regarded as a relatively large engineering construction company in the entire North China region, the number of construction machinery and equipment allocated by the state and purchased by us is comparable to that of our peers. They still have certain advantages.”

   "But even so, our gap is still too big in terms of the number of critical equipment such as cranes and excavators..."

  Wang Shou next to him sighed when he heard the words: "Yes, Researcher Zhao, Mr. Mao is right. Our infrastructure department goes to dozens of large construction companies across the country to count the number of machinery and equipment every year."

   "Mr. Mao's second construction company is definitely among the best in terms of the number of construction machinery."

Gently rubbing his temples, Director Wang continued: "But Researcher Zhao, you should know that the lifting machinery manufacturing industry in our country is just in its infancy. There is no way to guarantee the production capacity and product quality. "

   "Even if they are the best in the same industry in China, such as Pengcheng Construction Machinery Group Corporation, Wuyi Heavy Industry, Zoomlion Heavy Industry, etc., they still don't have the ability to mass-produce large-scale lifting machinery..."

  Hearing this, Mao Feiming echoed: "Yes, there are only a few domestic companies capable of producing lifting machinery and equipment, and each of them has a full order."

   "Sometimes, our company's procurement personnel go to several major machinery companies to ask grandpa and grandma to wait for a month before they can barely win an order of four or five units."

   "No way, everyone has to eat, the shortage of equipment is too serious!"

   What Mao Feiming and Wang Shouyi said did not exceed Zhao Guoyang's expectations.

  In fact, he has a very clear understanding of the technical level of domestic construction machinery.

  Excavation machinery is a little bit easier to say, the technical research of large-scale hoisting machinery is very difficult.

   Even for the best domestic heavy construction machinery companies, it is not easy to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

   When it comes to pain, Mao Feiming can't stop.

  The person continued to complain: "The production capacity of domestic lifting machinery and equipment is limited, and the technology is not reassuring enough. However, the price of foreign products is too high, and they all require foreign exchange, which is unacceptable."

  Looking up at Zhao Guoyang, Mao Feiming smiled bitterly and said, "Researcher Zhao, you should have seen it just now. The construction machinery and equipment on our construction site are rarely imported, mainly because of the price problem!"

  After listening to Mr. Mao's narration, Zhao Guoyang nodded silently.

  Indeed, he also knows that it is quite difficult for the domestic lifting machinery manufacturing industry to develop gradually from scratch under the technological blockade of Western countries.

  If you want to catch up with the advanced level of foreign countries at once, it is really difficult.

While Zhao Guoyang was thinking about it, Wang Shouyi asked Mao Feiming: "Mr. Mao, how is the level of our domestic hoisting machinery manufacturing industry worse than that of foreign countries? Why can't we solve the problem of mass production?" What about the solution?"

   "This..." After hearing the question from the supervisor, Mao Feiming felt a little embarrassed.

  He covered his mouth with his hands, coughed and said, "Director Wang, I'm afraid you have to ask the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry about this. I really don't know the leaders in charge of construction machinery..."

  Hearing this, Wang Shou's eyes lit up.

  He immediately turned his head, looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Hey, look at me, I'm so confused, I forgot that Researcher Zhao, an expert, is here. Researcher Zhao, why don't you clear up our doubts?"
