Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

The moment he saw Chen Changan, Uncle Nie immediately said.

"Another good news? Has your car factory developed something new?

Or is there something wrong with placing new workers?"

"Neither. I just want to report to you about the scale of the automobile factory."

Uncle Nie didn't expect Chen Changan to ask such a question.

He put down the pen in his hand, sat up straight, and then spoke.

"Is it a matter of scale? Isn't it true that the more workers a factory has, the better?

Or do you think it's difficult to arrange for these tens of thousands of workers?"

Chen Changan organized his words before speaking.

"Uncle Nie, with the continuous development and innovation of automobile factory technology.

There will definitely be more new products appearing in the future.

Pickup trucks are selling very well and are a foreign exchange earning product.

As long as it can still earn foreign exchange, it will not stop production.

The country is currently lacking a lot of things. Now it's just a truck.

Even the army has sent military representatives here. I think it’s not just for supervising quality issues.

I'm afraid they even have the idea of ​​monopolizing all the trucks in the automobile factory, fearing that they will be snatched away by other units if they are not careful.

With the start of truck production, the number of workers at the auto plant will soon reach 40,000.

Our factory's deputy director Shi Heping is still researching new engines.

You said, what if our automobile factory accidentally produces other construction machinery in the future?

For example, excavators and bulldozers. Does the country need these machines?

A Haihe River control project will involve hundreds of thousands of people and will take who knows how many years to complete.

If you have excavators, you can see that with dozens of them, you can easily dig a reservoir for you in a few months.

Does the country need it? Of course it does, and then fill its own factories with tens of thousands of workers?

If he keeps cramming people in like this, no matter how big the factory is, he won’t be able to handle it.”

"Can your car factory really produce excavators? How long will it take?"

Chen Changan's face suddenly turned dark.

"Uncle Nie, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Is this what I meant?

We are now discussing car factories, which will become larger and larger in the future. How to solve this problem? "

"I understand what you mean. So tell me, what can we do?"

"We don't have enough transport capacity, so let's forget about the ones far away, and let's just talk about the ones near our Sijiu City.

Let's first inspect the machinery factory near Sijiu City.

Evaluate the equipment and personnel of these machine shops to determine what parts they can produce.

Our automobile factory will hand over the corresponding parts drawings to this factory.

In this way, the automobile factory can save a lot of manpower, and eventually all parts can be produced in other factories.

Our automobile factory is only responsible for design, R&D, and assembly.

In this way, there will no longer be a single dominant car manufacturer.

Other factories will also have room to survive and can train technical workers in a dispersed manner.

The most important thing is that those who want to reap the benefits should not just focus on the car factories.

Other factories are actually good choices. Don't always think about the car factory.

It’s also good to go to other factories, and it can also train their management ability.”

Uncle Nie listened to Chen Changan's words and thought for a long time before speaking.

“It’s a good idea, but it’s very difficult to implement.

First of all, there are not many machinery factories of a decent size in the entire city of Beijing.

In addition to your Sijiucheng Automobile Factory, there are four larger factories.

The two machine tool factories are also the main source of equipment for your automobile factory.

The machine tools produced by the two factories have basically all fallen into the hands of your automobile factory.

The other one, although also called a machinery factory, is very small in terms of both staff and equipment.

In terms of personnel, there are only a few hundred people and a hundred or so pieces of equipment.

The main business is the maintenance of agricultural machinery. We just completed the imitation of a sprayer some time ago.

We are currently working hard to produce sprayers to support agricultural construction.

Further down is the bicycle factory. You wouldn’t want the bicycle factory to process parts for you, right?

The bicycle factory is too lazy to process parts for you. Their bicycle production is not enough, how can they process parts for you?

The last one is a People’s Machinery Factory, whose main business is printing machines.

"Is it possible for you to print newspapers and process parts for your car factories?"

After listening to Uncle Nie's introduction, Chen Changan's heart plummeted.

Originally, Chen Changan thought that even if the industrial base was poor, finding a few factories, even those that produced screws, could save some manpower for the factory.

Who would have thought that this would be the case? The basic industry is not good at all. In this situation, you still want to outsource?

"Uncle Nie, we can't rely on the car factory for everything, right?

The workers at the car factory had no rest last year.

This is the three-wheeled cargo motorcycle, which was handed over to the new motorcycle factory.

Our factory finally breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted the product. Then we started to have a day off.

It's conceivable that the truck project is about to be launched.

Now that we have a military representative, we can forget about resting anymore and have to work day and night.

It’s okay in the short term, but if it lasts for a long time, I’m afraid the workers’ bodies won’t be able to take it.

Those who do the heavy and tiring work are all skilled workers.

Those temporary workers neither know how to do the job nor do we dare to let them do it.

If a large number of skilled workers were to suffer health problems, it would not only be a loss for our auto factory, but also a loss for the country.”

“That’s the truth, but this is the current situation in the country.

Since we are lagging behind, we must work hard to catch up. It's our country's fault for delaying for so many years.

It's not just your automobile factory, it's the same for workers in many important factories and scientific research institutions.

Even many farms are working tirelessly to produce.

If a country wants to catch up with other countries and make itself prosperous and strong, there will always be a generation that has to sacrifice.

I just hope that our generation will have suffered enough, and that you and your next generation will no longer have to suffer. "

Chen Changan was somewhat moved after hearing what Uncle Nie said.

No matter if some people think otherwise, the old people of this era.

Most people think so, and the good days in the future did not come out of thin air.

All of this was achieved with the blood and tears of our predecessors.

It would be a lie to say that I dare not move, but some sufferings are unnecessary.

Not only does it turn out that you have to force yourself to eat it, but the effect is not good. Don’t you think that all the suffering was in vain?

"Uncle Nie, our grain production has increased in the past few years, and the number of workers in the country must also increase.

I think it would be better if we built a few more factories, what do you think?"
