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

From the 1950s to the early 1980s, people in China always focused on buying things that were sturdy and durable.

I wish I could buy a product that I could use for a lifetime.

To build a motorcycle that suits the national conditions and can sell well is not something that can be decided on a whim.

Until the mid-eighties.

The motorcycle has evolved from a simple means of transportation to a means of transportation with multiple attributes.

It is not impossible to produce two-wheeled motorcycles.

The main reason is that the sales scope is too narrow.

"Yes!!"

Soon, an idea came to Lin Kaifeng's mind.

I almost made a mistake in thinking.

The focus is only on two-wheeled motorcycles.

Three-wheeled motorcycles will be more popular than two-wheeled motorcycles in the future.

A certain type of tricycle has a well-known and famous name.

Three-wheeled agricultural vehicle.

In 56, Longguo had the ability to produce and manufacture automobiles.

The first truck rolls off the production line.

one year later.

The Dragon Kingdom has produced yet another car.

Three-wheeled vehicle.

The three-wheeled vehicles at that time were different from the three-wheeled agricultural vehicles of later generations.

It is built entirely according to the car.

The entire journey is carried out by three-wheeled trucks with a load capacity of one ton.

The internal structure is quite simple, economical and practical.

Suitable for short-distance transportation in towns and villages, spare parts include chassis and engine.

Even this seemingly extremely simple three-wheeled vehicle still requires a lot of effort.

Three large state-owned factories took the lead in providing the chassis, engine and spare parts for the vehicle.

Besides.

There are also a large number of small factories assisting.

The engine used is a thirty horsepower gasoline engine.

Internally mounted shock absorbers.

Suitable for long-term driving on rough country roads.

On the day of the test run, the three-wheeled car carried a total of twenty-one people.

Slowly crawl uphill from the bottom.

The load-carrying capacity is quite impressive.

"That's it."

Lin Kaifeng smiled.

The three-wheeled agricultural vehicle will definitely become an instant hit.

Even in the era when Lin Kaifeng was successful and famous, three-wheeled agricultural vehicles could still be seen on the streets.

Three-wheeled motorcycles with a rear cargo box are found throughout the vast rural areas.

It can also be seen in the city.

Mainly concentrated on construction sites

Three-wheeled agricultural vehicles can enter places where engineering vehicles, including mud tankers, cannot enter.

Specialized in transporting and delivering goods to construction sites.

Without the support of a large number of upstream and downstream manufacturers, Lin Kaifeng had to use local materials.

The domestically produced three-wheeled truck uses a 30-horsepower engine.

With the production capacity of the county machinery factory, let alone thirty horsepower.

I'm afraid they can't even produce an engine with more than ten horsepower.

Manufacturing motorcycle engines does have some benefits.

The structure of an agricultural tricycle is simpler than that of a three-wheeled truck.

There is absolutely no problem with mass production.

……

"Director, I don't know what the county machinery factory is doing these days. They submit reports every few days to apply for the transfer of production materials."

"Look, their factory has applied again."

The secretary placed a material application report on Fang Boyan's desk.

After taking a look at the contents of the report, Fang Boyan raised his head and asked, "Who sent this application for supplies?"

"It's Niu Yonggui, the deputy director of their factory."

"Have you asked him what the machinery factory is busy with recently?"

Not long ago, the Materials Bureau allocated a batch of electronic components to the county machinery factory, enough for them to start producing radios.

It’s only been a short time, how come another material application report was submitted?

The secretary shook his head and said, "Deputy Director Niu said that Lin Kaifeng has recently become interested in engines, and the materials he requested are all used to research engines."

"Lin Kaifeng is such a troublemaker."

"Researching engines? He's the one who came up with that idea."

Fang Boyan smiled.

Pick up the pen next to you and write your name on the application form.

"Leave it to the Material Bureau for coordination and allocation. We will charge you what you should. The County Machinery Factory is now wealthy and powerful, and it is no longer the mess it once was."

Fang Boyan has been in a good mood recently and made a rare joke.

Through two foreign exports, the county machinery factory had hundreds of thousands of more funds on its books.

And paid off foreign debts and expanded the product structure.

Possess the ability to manufacture radios.

Compared with other state-owned factories, the machinery factory is a typical example of self-reliance.

As long as it doesn't cause too much trouble.

The supplies that should be given should still be given.

Fang Boyan personally approved the note, so the Materials Bureau naturally did not dare to be negligent.

In just one day, the production materials needed by the machinery factory were allocated.

at the same time.

The radios that the people had longed for were finally available on the shelves of supply and marketing cooperatives and stores.

The news of the arrival of the radio spread like wildfire.

In cities and counties, you can see people holding money and preparing to buy radios everywhere.

On the third day after radios were fully available, the secretary rushed into the office in a hurry.

The cash registers distributed to the supply and marketing cooperatives and the city department stores were all sold out a few hours ago.

"It's no wonder those people believed everything they heard before, because the radio was already on the shelf and they were arguing with the salesperson."

Fang Boyan sighed.

Knowing that Fang Boyan was in a good mood these two days, the secretary boldly made a joke.

"Director, I think if we give the county machinery factory another year or two, their efficiency will definitely become the best among all the factories in the city. Even the city machinery factory will probably be inferior to them."

Hearing the words "Municipal Machinery Factory", Fang Boyan said with mixed feelings: "Times are different now. I'm afraid the good days of state-owned factories are coming to an end."

"If we don't find a way to produce some products that can earn foreign exchange and that ordinary people are willing to buy, the county machinery factory's yesterday will be their tomorrow."

"Director, is this year's funding going to be cut again?"

The secretary's heart skipped a beat.

Starting from the beginning of 77, the state issued a document to launch a comprehensive foreign exchange earning campaign across the country.

While earning foreign exchange, the industrial departments of various provinces and cities strictly review the funds and research expenses allocated to state-owned factories.

Last year, the funds allocated to lower levels were only half of the original amount.

If funding continues to be cut this year, the winter for state-owned enterprises and factories may really be coming.

"The era of big-pot meals will soon be over."

After saying that, Fang Boyan raised his hand and pointed at a newspaper on the table.

"On January 1 this year, the country officially announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States. Our relationship with the Western world, which had been frozen for nearly 30 years, has been thawed in an instant."

"Do you know what this means?"

In response to Fang Boyan's question, the secretary said cautiously: "The country will vigorously develop the economy and attract foreign investors to contribute to our construction."

"Comprehensive economic development will be the main policy for the next decade or even twenty years."

Fang Boyan lit a cigarette and said slowly, "The tide of economic development is coming. Other factories continue to rest on their laurels and live by the old ways. Just wait and see. They will soon become the second or third county machinery factory."

"Director, if all the hundreds of factories in the city run into financial problems, I'm afraid..."

The secretary reminded Fang Boyan tactfully.

If this really happens, the industrial sector will be hit the hardest.
