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

Lin Kaifeng comforted him, "Mr. Li, you should always look forward. Some things are over. Living under psychological pressure will only make your life more and more difficult."

Hearing this, the engineer named Li Liang nodded slightly.

Continue to remain silent.

Lin Kaifeng and Lu Changshun looked at each other with mixed feelings.

Like Lin Kaifeng, Li Liang is a child from one of the five black categories of families.

From going to school to going to the countryside, Li Liang was looked down upon and bullied every day.

In 71, he was recommended by the commune where he was sent to work as a college student.

He entered a science and engineering university as a worker-peasant-soldier student, studying related automobile majors.

Due to years of unfair treatment, Li Hua has become introverted, taciturn and not good at dealing with people.

Apart from speaking a few words at work, he seems to be mute at other times.

Lin Kaifeng chose to take Li Liang to visit the diesel engine factory, on the one hand because Li Liang's skills were among the best among the company's technical experts.

On the other hand, I want him to walk more and not live in the past.

The trauma has been done.

If you keep dwelling on the past, you are just torturing yourself.

After traveling for a day and a night, the train arrived in Shenyang at 11 o'clock the next morning.

After learning the train arrival time in advance, the Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory arranged a truck to pick us up.

Dozens of minutes later, everyone arrived at the gate of Shenyang Diesel Airport Factory by truck.

Standing in the truck compartment, Lu Changshun looked inside the factory and said with emotion: "It's called a factory, but it's more like a small city."

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

The car drove into the factory, and the factory director Tian Youcai, three deputy factory directors, several workshop directors, and department heads came to greet us.

Applause to welcome Lin Kaifeng to lead the team to inspect the business.

Lin Kaifeng got off the car, stretched out his hand and said, "Director Tian is too polite."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, these are what we should do."

Afterwards, Tian Youcai introduced everyone's identities to Lin Kaifeng.

Lin Kaifeng will also introduce Li Hua, Lu Changshun and other technicians to the leaders of Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory.

After the greetings, everyone went to the factory cafeteria to have lunch.

In the afternoon, Tian Youcai took a few people to visit the factory and workshop of Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory.

"What you just saw is workshop 3. We have six more workshops like this one."

"For sixty years, the workers in the third workshop have demonstrated the spirit of self-reliance and hard work to complete the technological innovation of diesel engines."

"In the past two years, we have been studying the transformation of the diesel engine assembly line. Several workshops are responsible for the production of cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, high-pressure oil pump columns, and large and small parts processing..."

"This is our factory's workers' club, the heat treatment laboratory in front."

"The buildings next to it are the factory hospital and the employee bathhouse."

After nearly thirty years of planned economy, neither the factory director nor anyone else knew how to attract business for the factory.

In the past, production tasks were proactively assigned by higher-level departments.

The Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory only has to do one thing every year, and that is to complete the task on time.

It's different now.

The funds allocated by the state are getting less and less.

God knows when the ministry will stop allocating funds to state-owned enterprises.

It’s different in the past.

The era when several factories, big and small, ate from the same big pot may soon come to an end.

No more trying to get out.

The factory has reached the point of being penniless, and the thousands of employees will surely eat up all the factory leaders.

Arriving at the conference room, Tian Youcai began to introduce the glorious history of Shenyang Diesel Airport.

After nearly 40 years of establishment, Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory has the ability to produce various types of diesel engines.

The implication was to tell Lin Kaifeng and his group.

The engines that Jiangcheng Diesel Engine Factory can make can also be made by Shencheng Diesel Engine Factory, and they can make them better.

It was not until 1984 that the country enacted its first patent law.

And before that.

Neither state-owned enterprises nor the small workshops under them have any patents to speak of.

They are all state-owned enterprises, so naturally there is no need to be too strict between brothers.

Your technology is my technology.

The company has neither patent rights nor the concept of technological confidentiality.

The deputy factory director saw that the time was almost right and said, "General Manager Lin, the agricultural diesel engines you need can be supplied by our Shencheng Diesel Engine Factory with guaranteed quality and quantity, and the quality can also be significantly improved."

"Jiangcheng is an automobile city, and all supporting enterprises have to revolve around the Jiangcheng Automobile Factory. Shencheng is different."

"We don't have any particularly prominent automobile manufacturers in our area that can fully supply you."

The diesel engines produced by Shencheng Diesel Engine Factory are specially supplied to agricultural vehicles.

The funding cuts by higher authorities are not just aimed at state-owned enterprises.

The funds received by communes and production teams were also decreasing rapidly.

During the planned economy era, production teams and communes needed to improve agricultural productivity and purchase agricultural vehicles.

Just need to print a report.

In most cases, their superiors will meet their needs.

The situation then was totally different from what it is now.

The whole country is living a hard life. The commune has no funds. How can it order agricultural vehicles?

Agricultural vehicles and agricultural machinery factories have no orders, so how can they purchase diesel engines from the Shenyang Diesel Engine Factory?

Lu Changshun looked at Lin Kaifeng and said, "What's your opinion?"

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "I have heard about the long history of Shencheng Diesel Engine Factory. It is the big brother of domestic diesel engine enterprises and a state-owned factory with thousands of employees."

"Of course I 100% believe what Director Tian just said, but our company is not a state-owned enterprise, and we are not on the path of a planned economy."

“It is a path to market economy that no one else has taken.”

"Since we are on the path of a market economy, some unpleasant things should be said in advance to avoid embarrassing ourselves later."

"Of course, brothers should settle accounts clearly. General Manager Lin can say whatever he wants, as long as our diesel engine factory can meet your needs, we will definitely do our best to meet your needs."

Tian Youcai is eager to get this business, everything can be negotiated

We must go ahead even if there are difficulties; and we must go ahead even if there are no difficulties by creating them.

Tian Youcai found out through his connections within the system that Northern Machinery Company's orders had already been scheduled until after the New Year.

Since Northern Machinery Company is a special enterprise, the higher authorities have given it special care and attention.

The First Ministry of Machine Building issued a spirit.

The industrial departments of various cities in the provinces where the machinery companies are located give the commune a sum of money in the form of advance payment or loans.

Let the commune lead the team to purchase low-cost and widely used agricultural tricycles and four-wheelers.

There is no problem with sales.

The only question is whether enough engines can be built.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Being able to produce engines in high volume is the most basic condition for our cooperation."

“The diesel engines produced must also meet our company’s quality standards.”

"If there are defective engines or problematic engines, the machinery company has the right to punish your factory. Can Director Tian accept this request?"
