Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The agricultural tricycles sold by the Northern Machinery Company alone can only be described as small-scale.

Only by purchasing in large quantities, spending thousands or tens of thousands, can we improve the development of rural areas.

It also provides new development opportunities for many factories that were suffering from lack of food and clothing due to lack of funding from above.

Wang Changsheng remained silent, but he had already made up his mind.

When I return to the department tomorrow, I will immediately hold a meeting to help Lin Kaifeng act as a matchmaker.

Start with the province where the machinery company is located.

Promote agricultural tricycles.

"Comrades, you all know that I come from a military background."

"We soldiers often say that an incompetent general can tire out the entire army."

"Whether a troop can form a strong combat capability depends not only on the soldiers, but also on the commander of the troop. The same is true for factories. Whether the factory leaders have a forward-looking vision and dare to innovate directly affects the economic benefits and future development of the factory."

"In Lin Kaifeng, I see the vigor of young people and the ideas of their generation."

"The old leader said that capable people will be promoted and mediocre people will be demoted. This is not just a speech, but an important assessment basis for our future promotion of leading cadres."

"We can boldly employ people who can get things done, no matter how young they are. Those who are mediocre and just sit back and relax, no matter how many contributions they have made, are not qualified to be the leader."

Wang Changsheng looked at the heads of various departments from the First Ministry of Machine Building.

A solemn warning to everyone.

New problems under the new situation must be viewed from a perspective that is consistent with the development of the times.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng has said so much, you responsible persons should also speak out."

“What kind of experience did you gain from this visit?”

Deputy Minister Liu Yong said: "Through this inspection, we have seen the feasibility of assembly line production."

"At present, China may not be able to build a modern assembly line comparable to that of the West, but it can find another way. Factories in a city or a province can be gathered together to carry out large-scale industrial production as Comrade Lin Kaifeng said."

"Take the engine in this agricultural vehicle for example. In the past, we sent the engine to a professional engine factory for production and manufacturing."

"According to the advice of Comrade Lin Kaifeng, I think the engine can be further subdivided."

"An engine consists of a cylinder block, cylinder head, main bearings, pistons, flywheels, pulleys and other components."

"By distributing all of them to one factory for each component, we can not only improve professionalism, but also increase production speed and save production costs."

Led by Vice Minister Liu Yong, other leading cadres also gave their opinions.

Overall, everyone gained a lot from this visit.

Lin Kaifeng not only understands industry and business, but also knows how to develop the rural economy.

Before coming, Wang Changsheng used Lin Kaifeng as an example many times in meetings.

Praise him as a versatile person in production and construction.

Now it seems that the title of all-rounder really suits Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng can come up with countless ways to sell and produce any product.

Each of these can have significant economic value. Isn’t this the courage to innovate that the country is vigorously promoting?

Afterwards, the group began to visit the machinery company's cafeteria, library, technical department, and logistics department.

"You guys eat this every day?!"

When they arrived at the logistics department warehouse, everyone was dumbfounded.

The warehouse was piled with large amounts of rice and flour.

Due to lack of funds, canteens in other state-owned enterprises only serve steamed corn bread or pickles every day.

When I arrived at the Northern Machinery Company, everyone ate fine grains.

This is too luxurious...

Section Chief Ding, who is in charge of logistics, said: "Leaders have misunderstood. It's not that our factory is extravagant. General Manager Lin said that only when we have enough food can we better devote ourselves to production and construction. If we can't even have enough food, how can we devote ourselves to production wholeheartedly?"

"But there's no need to eat rice and flour every day, right?"

"Wow, this is really eye-opening. Even in the cafeteria of the ministry, they only have one meal of fine grain and two meals of coarse grain every day. But here, you have three meals of fine grain a day. You are living a life like a god."

"Minister, if I were not too old, I would really like to come back to the machinery company and be a production worker. At least I can have a full stomach every day."

Everyone was either amazed or joking, expressing their envy for the machinery company.

Having enough food has always been the biggest problem plaguing the Chinese people.

Even the well-informed leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building would be shocked to see the mountains of rice and flour.

Wang Changsheng lit a cigarette and said calmly, "The reason why the machinery company has fine food every day is because they have the ability to do so."

"They are the vanguards in the foreign exchange earning front, and have made achievements time and time again. Capable enterprises deserve the luxury of daily fare."

"Companies that are incompetent deserve to be fed with bran and water."

Wang Changsheng, who served in the army, is one of the people who understands Lin Kaifeng best.

During the war years, Wang Changsheng's unit worked to improve the combat effectiveness of its soldiers.

Large-scale military exercises will be held regularly.

Young people today may not believe it if I tell them this.

The prize for the first place in the military training is neither money nor something rare.

It's just a bowl of boiled fat meat.

Even so, the soldiers trained hard in order to get this bowl of fat meat.

Many sharpshooters and pitchers were born.

He once saw a soldier throw a grenade nearly ninety meters away.

The country has restored the bonus system with the aim of increasing workers' enthusiasm for work.

The canteen of the machinery company provides fine rations and the food is also consistent.

It's all for production and construction, and it's not up to others to make irresponsible remarks.

After having dinner in the cafeteria of the machinery company, everyone got on the bus and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

The next day, after seeing off the visiting group from the First Ministry of Machine Building, Fang Boyan rushed to the Northern Machinery Company at lightning speed.

Meet with Lin Kaifeng alone.

Before leaving, Wang Changsheng left a special message.

The local authorities were required to focus on supporting the Northern Machinery Company.

Through the great development of Northern Machinery Company, other state-owned factories will be driven to further strengthen their production capacity.

To solve problems and provide assistance for the overall economic development of the country.

"Lin Kaifeng, tell me the truth, is your company really planning to enter the automobile manufacturing field?"

Fang Boyan went straight to the point and asked about cars.

Fang Boyan instructed Lin Kaifeng to come up with a new technology to please the leader during his inspection.

It was to advance his career further, not to let Lin Kaifeng actually manufacture a car.

Given the current situation of the machinery company, there is no problem in producing engines.

If we further study the car based on the engine, problems will arise.

Manufacturing a car is not the same as manufacturing a tricycle; there is a fundamental difference between the two.
