Chapter 74, Automotive Patents

Beijing, outside Chaoyangmen, No. [-] Auto Accessories Factory, No. [-] Design Department.

Today is the second day of work after the Spring Festival, and Chen Guohua came over early.

As soon as he arrived at the office, someone came to call Chen Guohua at the door.

"Hello, Comrade Chen Guohua, Secretary Xue asked me to inform you to go to his office immediately."

Yu Jianchuan looked at Chen Guohua and said with a smile.

It happened that at this time, Bai Lichun appeared behind Yu Jianchuan.

"Lao Yu, what brought you here? Did Secretary Xue have any instructions?"

"Lao Baiqian arrived just in time. Please take Chen Guohua from your design department with you. Secretary Xue is looking for you."

After hearing this, Bai Lichun immediately stopped going back to his office.

He called Chen Guohua and left with Yu Jianchuan.

From the latter's mouth, Bai Lichun and Chen Guohua soon found out.

It turned out to be the seat belt matter that Chen Guohua submitted before.

If there is a further situation, Yu Jianchuan doesn't know what the specific situation is.

In the second-in-command's office, Xue Yajun immediately introduced the two guests next to him after seeing Bai Lichun and Chen Guohua.

One person is a professor at the Beijing Iron and Steel Institute and an automotive researcher at the accessory factory, named Liu Renhuai.

The other person is Zhuang Bingchang, a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology and an automotive expert.

Both of them have studied abroad and are very concerned about car seat belts.

After a few brief introductions, Xue Yajun said:
"Comrade Guohua, it's like this. Two experts want to consult about seat belts. Tell them what you know."

Next, Zhuang Bingchang and Liu Renhuai asked Chen Guohua for more details.

Both of them have spent a long time abroad and learned about cars abroad.

However, none of them have ever been exposed to seat belts.

Through simple questioning, Chen Guohua already roughly knew what the two of them wanted to know.

That is about seat belt patents and technology promotion.

To put it simply, it is to earn foreign exchange!

Although the mainland had just founded the country, its economic and trade relations with foreign countries were very small.

But it doesn't mean there isn't one.

Not to mention other things, many aircraft in the mainland are actually not imported from the big northern countries.

They also import aircraft from European countries such as Great Britain.

The mainland's civil aviation industry is just starting up and also requires many passenger aircraft.

And it also needs to develop its own aircraft manufacturing business, just like the second design department where Chen Guohua is now, learning and imitating foreign advanced technology to manufacture its own cars.

Civil aviation also manufactures its own aircraft through learning and imitation.

So these all involve one word: money!

Importing cars, aircraft, production materials, etc. from foreign countries all costs money.

It’s impossible to spend gold and silver to buy it, right?
Then earning foreign exchange is the best way.

Now, Zhuang Bingchang and Liu Renhuai were very happy when they came into contact with the invention of seat belts.

Before, they had contacted students from other departments who often went overseas for meetings.

It is confirmed that today’s foreign cars actually do not have seat belts.

In this case, Zhuang Bingchang and the others need to repeatedly determine the technical core and manufacturing difficulty of the seat belt.

Only after confirmation can you proceed with the next step of planning.

Chen Guohua, who gave the technical explanation again, looked calm on the surface, but his mind was searching for relevant information.He was almost certain that the seat belt would soon be patented.

Either in the middle of this year or at the end of the year.

However, it is mid-to-late February now, and there is actually still a certain amount of time in the mainland.

However, how much foreign exchange can be earned is unknown.

After all, whether one can apply for a patent in mainland China is actually still a big question.

At the same time, Chen Guohua could no longer get involved in this matter.

By the time he left the office, it was already more than an hour later.

Bai Lichun was still thinking about what happened just now, when he returned to the second design department office.

He called Chen Guohua into the office.

Jiang Ruolin, Lao Chongguang and others looked at each other: It’s just the beginning of the new year, what big things does Chen Guohua have to do again?
Although Chen Guohua is only a high school student, he is very young.

But he is a celebrity in front of Director Bai. He invented the three-point seat belt and buckle design years ago.

Maybe, there are other inventions now.

Everyone is jealous and envious!
In the office, Bai Lichun asked Chen Guohua seriously:
"Guohua, I remember you are proficient in foreign languages, right? Which languages ​​are you in?"

The latter answered truthfully, and then heard the other party ask again:
"Then have you ever heard your foreign teacher say before that what are the safety belts in foreign countries like?"

In the early 50s, some foreign car manufacturers actually had safety belt awareness.

Especially America's side, it's just an ordinary seat belt.

"Director Bai, I know what you want to ask. You want to ask about seat belt patents, right?"

Chen Guohua had no choice but to ask directly.

Seeing the other party nodding, he could only say truthfully:

"Director Bai, actually I don't know much about patents."

Chen Guohua understands that Bai Lichun wants to contribute part of his strength in this area and gain some credit.

But this is not just talk, it is not that simple at all.

Anyway, Chen Guohua couldn't participate.

However, he could say a few more words about seat belt technology.

"Director Bai, this is the design I made after careful consideration during the Spring Festival. You can take a look."

He took out the latest design draft from his backpack.

Bai Lichun suddenly felt like he had found a treasure, and couldn't wait to take it and report on his work.

After returning to his work station, Chen Guohua was free and began to immerse himself in his work.

The design of Buick cars has gradually entered the middle and late stages.

Chen Guohua does not understand many technologies very well and is still learning.

When discussing with Jiang Ruolin and others, Chen Guohua could feel his progress.

Today, Lao Chongguang and the others are discussing the design of the engine.

Chen Guohua stood nearby, listening to them talk about these technologies.

As for Bai Lichun, no one was seen all morning.

During lunch, Chen Guohua said hello to everyone and then went home.

Watching his leaving figure, Lao Chongguang and the others were extremely envious.

It’s great to be a quasi-college student who doesn’t have to work all day.

When Chen Guohua returned to Courtyard No. 98, he saw Aunt Guan Zhiping, whom he had not seen for a long time, at the door of the front courtyard.

When the latter saw him, he became angry and cursed!
