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

"Foreigners can make excellent cars, so why can't we? We are no less than foreigners. We can do what they can do," Lin Kaifeng said.

"The provincial capital, Jiangcheng, is a nationally renowned automobile city with a mature automobile industry chain. By expanding and extending on this basis, the machinery company can definitely manufacture cars that are comparable to advanced foreign cars."

"But if we do that, we'll be competing against the Jiangcheng Automobile Factory."

Fang Boyan was quite worried.

I'm not sure whether this thing can be implemented.

Lin Kaifeng wants to manufacture cars, and as long as the machinery company can come up with the money, Fang Boyan will not interfere too much.

The key issue is that in Jiangcheng, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the local area, the main industrial commodity is automobiles.

The lower-level cities are starting to manufacture cars, which will definitely have some impact on Jiangcheng’s automobile industry.

Lin Kaifeng said slowly: "Leader, you misinterpreted the problem. We want to build cars, not to impact Jiangcheng's automobile industry."

"Instead, we will join forces with Jiangcheng's automobile companies to develop together."

"As I told the leaders at the meeting, Northern Machinery Company is responsible for negotiating business and conducting core assembly. The specific manufacturing work will be broken down, starting with agricultural vehicles."

"Agricultural tricycles can only solve part of the transportation problems of poor and lower-middle farmers. Next, the machinery company will have to make better agricultural vehicles."

"With various means of transportation, farmers will have the energy to engage in production and supply their sideline products to the city to meet the city's development needs in all aspects."

"If life in the countryside remains as bad as it was back then, think about it, leader. Will we all be short of food and drink?"

"Whether it's rice, flour, meat or vegetables, they all rely on the countryside for supply. If we don't have enough to eat, how can we produce anything?"

Lin Kaifeng’s idea was to develop the car engine first and then hold a joint meeting with various auto supporting companies.

Discuss issues such as the details of joint production and division of labor.

With the intervention of higher-level authorities, the production pressure of Northern Machinery Company will be greatly reduced.

In the future, agricultural tricycles will no longer be produced solely by Northern Machinery Company.

There is only one production task left to be undertaken, which is final assembly.

Only by freeing up the production lines and a large number of employees did Lin Kaifeng have the energy to research and develop new products.

The manufacturing difficulty of automobile engines is far greater than that of motorcycle engines, and the number of production lines and technicians required is countless times more than before.

the other side.

Soon after the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building returned to Beijing, the Northern Machinery Company ushered in its unprecedented highlight moment.

Buyers from all over the province surrounded the door of the machinery company today.

Even if machinery companies went to department stores and openly sold agricultural tricycles, the scene would not be as lively as it is today.

The purchasing staff who came here were all leaders of various communes in the province.

The First Ministry of Machine Building contacted the heads of industry in the provincial prefecture-level cities.

It was proposed that the relevant departments advance the funds and then distribute the money to the commune.

The commune purchases agricultural tricycles according to production needs.

State-owned factories use their own fleets and do not use agricultural tricycles.

Only the production team has a strong purchasing demand.

The production team was directly under the superior commune and also had collective enterprises.

Agricultural tricycles are also used for transporting goods.

"Everyone, please be quiet, comrades!!!"

Lu Changshun and his men hurried over.

Lin Kaifeng has been working overtime these days regarding the car engine.

Last night, Lin Kaifeng stayed up all night.

Early this morning, commune leaders from all over the province gathered at the gate of the machinery company.

The company leaders tried their best but failed to wake Lin Kaifeng up.

Helplessly, Lu Changshun could only bring people over to deal with the situation first, and leave Niu Yonggui in the office to continue waking up Lin Kaifeng.

"Our Unity Commune bought ten agricultural tricycles!!!"

"And we, Xiangyang Commune, will buy 15..."

"Comrade, could you please open the door first? It's not a nice place for us to be crowded here. Let's go in and talk slowly."

Everyone was arguing and fighting over something.

No one has a clear idea of ​​what an agricultural tricycle is.

I only know one thing.

The sun came out in the west.

A large amount of funds was approved from above, allowing them to choose agricultural vehicles on their own.

There are too many monks and too little porridge, and the commune doesn't want to pay a penny.

Even a fool would know what to do.

Seeing this, Lu Changshun didn't have the courage to open the door.

Once the door is opened, hundreds of people outside will surely rush in.

By then, the scene will be even more chaotic.

"Comrades, please listen to me. Our company understands your urgent needs."

"The company will supply any agricultural tricycles that the commune needs, with no limit on quantity."

"But everything has to follow a set of rules, and more importantly, it has to follow a first come first served principle."

"Please keep quiet. Other irrelevant personnel should stay outside the company gate. Only responsible persons of the commune can come in. Otherwise, if they rush in together, it is likely to cause a stampede."

"Everyone, is this the truth?"

Lu Changshun shouted a few times, and the chaotic situation finally subsided.

Soon, a small hole opened in the factory gate.

More than fifty people of different ages, dressed in cadre uniforms, walked in from outside.

All the accompanying personnel from various communes were left at the company’s gate.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Lu Changsheng, everyone came to the warehouse where agricultural tricycles were stored.

See with your own eyes the agricultural tricycle that their superiors ordered them to purchase.

The group of people gathered around. We want all the agricultural tricycles here.

"Our commune wants all the agricultural tricycles here!"

In an instant, countless eyes looked towards the center of the crowd.

A commune director in his forties, with a cigarette hanging from his lips and patched clothes, had a determined look on his face.

"Hey, isn't this Lao Feng? Your Qinghe Company is a well-known poor commune. Where did you get so much money?"

"He bought so many agricultural tricycles at once. Was he doing it on purpose to make everyone happy?"

Those who knew the commune director expressed puzzled doubts.

Qinghe Commune where Lao Feng lives is a must-go place for the young, old and poor.

It is a notoriously poor commune in the province.

The following production teams could not even fill their stomachs every year.

Relevant departments are required to distribute relief food at regular intervals and to designated locations.

Otherwise, people might starve to death.

Old Feng threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, saying proudly: "Our commune used to be so poor that even rats would cry and leave, but things are different now."

"We have just received a sum of money from the higher authorities to build a dam and a power station in our commune."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder Old Feng is acting so wealthy today, contrary to his usual behavior.

It turned out that they were going to use an agricultural tricycle as a construction transport vehicle.
