Chapter 268 No, the cannon still has to be fired
Things have come to this point, there is nothing that can be done. For Gao Zhendong, he can be indistinguishable from the crowd, but not at the cost of his influence. So he has no choice but to give this comrade some high-powered artillery fire coverage.

He nodded and opened the report materials again.

"Well, the first type of problem is mainly about the writing, so I put it together and raised it earlier. It's not a big problem. You can just record it and make the corresponding changes. Next, I have a few more questions."

When the leader of the applicant heard this, he knew that something bad had happened. This was a disaster.

But at this point, it was too late to say anything, otherwise Director Gao would be offended. He was very capable and extremely young. Forget it, just take it as a lesson. Fortunately, with Director Gao's style, he would not make up something out of nothing. He could not afford to lose face, but strict requirements were probably inevitable.

In fact, there is basically no problem in all the reporting materials. The only difference is the size of the problem. Gao Zhendong's mentor once told Gao Zhendong an experience. When making a report, for doubts, as long as they are not fatal problems, just give a brief explanation, and then take careful notes along the way, smile, and agree repeatedly.

But you have to be careful when you smile, it can't be a joke, otherwise people will think you don't take me seriously, right? That would be even more troublesome.

If you really can't find the right degree of smile, or if you have a naturally unique smile, then just look serious and sincere to show that you are deeply aware of your problem.

Here we need to distinguish between seriousness and resentment, but this is easier to grasp than a smile.

The important thing is, don’t be stubborn. Even if the expert does have a problem, such as citing the wrong standard, you only need to explain it tactfully: “Yes, you are right. We started from XX perspective, so we cited XX standard. Our considerations are not as thorough as yours. We will review and revise it later.”

Basically, when others hear this, they know that they may have some problems, and they will probably just laugh it off and let the matter go.

Don't show off your arrogance and slap someone in the face. Then you will definitely win the game. However, if you suppress one problem, many more will pop up. Others may say, "Oh, I didn't think this through. Yes, yes, you are right. Next, let's look at other problems with your material."

The above is just a casual remark, those with extraordinary abilities may not care.

It took Gao Zhendong about ten minutes to flip through the dozens of pages of material, from the first page to the last page. Basically, there was a problem every two pages, a question every three pages, a suggestion on the positive side, and an opinion on the negative side.

The scope covers everything from necessity to feasibility, from technical routes to program design, from cost planning to indicator benefits, from implementation plans to effect evaluation. There are both subjective evaluations and objective facts, both soft problems and hard problems. In a word, the problem is huge.

In this regard, with Gao Zhendong's experience, knowledge, ability and vision, it is quite easy to find the problem, especially his vision. People of this age are far inferior to him.

Although he previously believed that the biggest problem with the material was that it was too showy and had an unclear technical approach, this does not mean that there were no other problems.

He only needs to lay out all the problems, big or small, truthfully. He doesn't really look for problems just for the sake of finding them. All he says are practical facts.

With every word Gao Zhendong spoke, the young man's face turned paler and he almost cried.

Their leader's face looked a little gloomy after hearing these words, but everything Gao Zhendong said was factual, and he had no intention of using his expert status to pressure others.

Later on, all the applicants had an expression of "Forget it, we're tired, let's just destroy it!" Although what Director Gao said was true, they felt very desperate when they saw that what they had made seemed to be worthless.

The experts who had not spoken yet were also confused. Director Gao, stop talking. If you keep talking, I will have nothing to say.

As for those who have already spoken, I secretly rejoice in my luck, thinking, Fortunately, it’s okay, fortunately I was humble and spoke first.

"Director Gao must have the last word at the review meeting" was an unwritten understanding in the high-end technical circles of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building, and it was at this time that it began to spread slowly.

The leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building were watching Gao Zhendong from the side, and only then did they understand how the Defense Work Committee got its reputation as "Gao the Cannon". Looking at the output, it's more than just a cannon, it's simply a battery of artillery!
It turned out that he had a hard time holding it in at the beginning. He saw so many problems but didn't point them out directly. Given his personality, he might have been too depressed to hold it in.

This won’t do. It’s not good for Comrade Gao Zhendong’s physical and mental health. It’s better for him to speak freely.

Ten minutes later, Gao Zhendong, who had enjoyed himself, closed the materials contentedly and said something that shocked everyone: "The above are not big problems. If we make some supplementary corrections, it's actually not bad. The next thing is the most important thing."

Everyone had an expression that said "that's enough", it was too cruel.

Gao Zhendong turned to the technical route section and said, "In fact, most of the technologies you mentioned in the technical route and key technology section are of little significance to your technical transformation this time. It can even be said that 70% to 80% of them will not be used. I think you admit this, right?"

The comrade who wanted to learn more really learned a lot this time, and even had a little indigestion. He was about to speak foolishly when he was kicked hard under the table by his leader.

The team leader was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and say something unmanageable. After all, Director Gao's conversation was very direct and pointed out the problem. There was no room for resistance. This was their favorite general, and he must be protected. So the team leader kicked him to stop him from talking. The team leader continued Gao Zhendong's words: "Yes, Director Gao, you are right. We added some unnecessary things."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Well, so this is the biggest problem with your application materials. The main technical route is unclear, and there are too many side details. It's a big stall, but there are actually few things that can be used. This is a waste of funds, personnel, and other resources. It may even cause serious interference to the main line, which is not good."

Everyone carefully read the technical route in the report materials for a long time, and they had to admit that although Gao Zhendong was strict, what he said made sense. Most people only noticed that this technical transformation used many good key technologies, but did not think deeply that most of them would not be used.

You wrongly blamed him. He had no intention of retaliating. It turned out that Director Gao wanted to save national funds.

Nowadays, when we use the words “for the country”, it is right and it is indeed right.

The leader of the applicant looked ashamed and said, "Director Gao, you are right. We will learn from the lesson, streamline the technology, stick to the goal, make careful revisions, and strive to get it submitted to the meeting as soon as possible."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "In fact, in my opinion, the core of your technological transformation this time is just one thing - using computers combined with advanced sensors to control the entire process. The starting point is very good, but some details need to be discussed."

Lessons must be learned, but important matters cannot be delayed.

When the leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building heard this, they were all affirmative. They knew that Comrade Gao Zhendong was not the kind of petty person. He would criticize severely where necessary and help where necessary without sparing any effort.

When the applicant heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately took out a pen and paper and said, "Director Gao, please go ahead."

"I am familiar with the things you use, DJS-59 and K-type thermocouple, but these two things are not very suitable for use here."

Oh, you know this too? Aren't you an expert in management, materials and technology?

The applicants took notes and thought at the same time, but Gao Zhendong's next words made them realize that the distance between people was unimaginably large.

"I made both the DJS-59 and the K-type thermocouple, so I can tell you very clearly that the DJS-59 has exceeded its capacity in your project. This is not a big problem, so let it be a little. But the key problem is that the K-type thermocouple is not capable enough, and its normal working range cannot reach the temperature you need!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, not because of the problem Gao Zhendong pointed out, but because Gao Zhendong was a researcher of these two things.

"So it's him?"

"Impossible? DJS-59 is the territory of the Twelve Machinery Department."

"He can't possibly brag like that on a situation like this. It must be true."

"Inhuman!!!"

"."

The former was originally known only to the Third Rolling Mill and the Ministry, while the latter was even more far-reaching. More people in the 12th Ministry of Machine Building knew about it than those in the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.

Except for a very few people who already knew it, everyone else was in awe: No matter what you say today, you are damn right!
The comrade who wanted to learn finally recovered from the blow and began to study again: "Director Gao, we want to improve the working range of the K-type by improving the protection tube. I wonder if it is possible."

This time he was really studious and much more honest. He didn't use rhetorical questions like "Can't XXXX solve YYYY problem?"

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "No, no matter how you improve the protective tube, this thing can't meet your ideas. As the inventor, I am very sure."

The applicants looked much more frustrated than when they were madly rejected by Gao Zhendong. When they were rejected, they felt ashamed, but now they felt desperate because they had no way out. What everyone values ​​more is their work.

The leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building was not too happy either. He still attached great importance to this technical transformation. The system could not have only the Third Rolling Mill, as that would be too fragile.

But when he turned around and saw the smile on Gao Zhendong's face, he was happy, thinking that there was a way.
