Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

That afternoon, Zhang Renkang was inspecting the Type 2 prototype in the tricycle production workshop of the machine repair factory. Thanks to the efforts of Xue Jinfeng and specially hired experts, the Type 2 tricycle was finalized and put into production one month ahead of schedule.

Zhang Renkang touched this Type II vehicle which was very similar to the tricycles of later generations and sighed in his heart

"I thought this thing wasn't that complicated. Who knew it would be just a toy for China, which built a complete industrial system in the future? But for this era, it is simply a great breakthrough."

First, the strength of steel structure was improved. After experts from the 378th Institute sent people to investigate and study, they cooperated with the newly established R&D Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to establish a new metal research department. They improved the current steel produced, drew on the experience of manganese steel bicycle beams, and added a large amount of trace elements with a confidential ratio to the key load-bearing structural steel, which greatly improved the structural strength and tensile properties.

The body structure of the tricycle was also completely modified by Chen Huayi and several professors who studied mechanics. It can be said that the first type of tricycle is just a motorcycle pulling a cart, but the second type of tricycle is a whole

The power transmission structure was designed by Chen Huayi and his team, with the engine placed in the middle. This not only shortened the distance of power transmission, but also strengthened the connection between the body and the bucket. By replacing the tires with larger ones and raising the height by 10CM, the tricycle has a certain ability to pass on unpaved roads.

However, the power output of gasoline engines is still a big problem, with high fuel consumption and average stability.

The second-type tricycle now has a load capacity of 300 kg, a speed of 60 km/h, and a range of 80 kilometers on a full tank of fuel. It has been tested on a muddy road outside the northern suburbs, and has fully reached the level of industrial production.

Zhang Renkang looked at Xue Jinfeng and Chen Huayi and smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chief Xue"

“Thank you for your hard work, Professor Chen.”

"Thank you to all our comrades involved in research and development for their hard work."

The appearance of this prototype fully demonstrates the hard work and achievements of our R&D team. I will ask my superiors for credit for everyone.

Xue Jinfeng said with a smile

"Director Zhang has lived up to his mission. We are very satisfied that we can contribute a little to the development of the factory."

Xue Jinfeng is now the deputy director of the R&D department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. It took her only one month to move from section chief to deputy director. It was only with the strong recommendation and support of Zhang Renkang that she was able to take this position.

It was just because the so-called design department, research department and technical maintenance department of the steel rolling mill were all under the leadership of the production department. Apart from repairing some lathes and assisting the workshop in designing parts, they did not have much value.

This time when Zhang Renkang separated three departments from the production department to establish the research department, many people were eyeing this piece of fat meat.

Now that Xue Jinfeng has achieved results, she can finally secure her position. She is grateful to Zhang Renkang and feels relieved.

Chen Huayi was also extremely grateful to the young director of the steel mill. Not to mention that Zhang Renkang transferred their personnel relationship from the education department to the industrial department, which was under the name of the steel mill, they were already very grateful for the fact that he had protected these people who had been overthrown during this period.

In the past few months, some students and some people with ulterior motives heard that Chen Huayi and his group were in the northern suburbs, so they organized a dozen people to take him back for criticism. At the gate of the machine repair factory, they were suppressed by the workers' picket team for attacking important industrial units and plotting to subvert the working class. They were all detained in an abandoned warehouse and reported to the police and the industrial department for handling.

Because the machine repair factory is currently developing a confidential project of the Ministry of Industry, these students really hit a wall. In addition, the workers' picket team was formed according to the ideas of the superior ideological faction, so they naturally strongly support the development of the workers' picket team.

For this reason, under the negotiation of several bigwigs above, Zhang Renkang came in person to release the people, and let these students who had been hungry for three days have a hot meal and warned them that if they attacked important units again, they would be directly tried and shot next time.

The students were so scared that they ran away without even eating. After this incident, no one dared to come to the machine repair factory to ask for help or cause trouble. The students, who were covered in dust and sobbing, went back home and lay down for four or five days before they recovered.

It was really that the patrol team of the machine repair factory had no moral principles. According to their private training method, they would tie these students to pillars with thick wood under their feet from time to time, and then pull out the wood so that they had to stand on tiptoe. Otherwise, they would be hung in the air on the pillars and strangled. They had never suffered such torture before. When they came back and told others about it, they were so scared of this place that they no longer wanted to come here to cause trouble.

Chen Huayi said with a smile

"I have formed a research group on gasoline engines with several other professors to see if we can improve it further."

Zhang Renkang smiled and nodded.

"The engine research institute that the Ministry of Industry found for us doesn't have very good technology or creativity."

"However, our research method is different from theirs. We first improve on this basis for practicality, and then consider researching new problems."

"Don't worry, proceed slowly according to your ideas. If you have any difficulties, ask Liu Feng to solve them or come to me directly."

Then he looked at Liu Feng and said

"Director Liu, this is our top project right now. Type 2 will basically be available. You need to calculate the cost and start trial production of a batch before testing and adjusting it."

"After removing the basic obstacles, we will start expanding production. I want to present this small car to the National Day ceremony next year for inspection by my superiors."

Liu Feng nodded and said

"Please rest assured, superiors, we will complete the mission successfully"

Zhang Renkang smiled and asked Tang Qi to deliver the prototype to Li Huaide at the steel mill, and he would drive back later.

Then he walked to Liu Feng's office in the office building. Zhang Renkang's permanent residence had moved back to the steel mill. Especially after Li Huaide came to talk to him a few days ago, he would not leave the steel mill unless it was necessary. He supervised the problems in various departments and made timely corrections.

As soon as he arrived at the office building, he saw Cui Dake, who was exhausted, waiting for him downstairs. Zhang Renkang laughed and said

"Dake, when did you come back?"

Cui Da laughed.

"Thanks to the concern of the leader, I came back last night and took a nap at home. I just heard that you were here, so I hurried over."

Cui Dake didn't even change his dirty clothes, he just came here to show off to Zhang Renkang. Of course, Zhang Renkang knew it in his heart, and smiled and patted Cui Dake on the shoulder and said

"Dake, you should take good care of your health while working, so that you can continue to make contributions to the revolution."

"What were the results of this visit?"

Zhang Renkang doesn't care what kind of drama Cui Dake plays for him. As long as he can get things done, Zhang Renkang doesn't mind accompanying him to finish the drama. After all, people work hard and want you to commend them. As a leader, you should learn to play with your subordinates and highlight their hard work. Only in this way will people be willing to work hard with you and work for you.

Cui Da said with a smile

"Thanks to the leadership, I have reached an agreement with two rural villages in Zhangjiakou. They are willing to have long-term cooperation with the factory."

"One family can give us 20 sheep and two pigs every month, and another family is willing to give us a cow and 30 sheep every month."

"It's a little less. I'll try harder later and negotiate with them to see if they can give us more."

Zhang Renkang calculated that fifty sheep would produce about 500 to 600 kilograms of meat, plus two pigs would produce about 400 to 500 kilograms, not to mention a cow, which would produce at least 700 to 800 kilograms of meat. This was just a preliminary cooperation with Cui Dake, and there was still a long way to go, so there was no need to worry that the farm would not cooperate with them.

Things at the machine repair factory were basically back on track some time ago. Zhang Renkang was going back to the steel mill to work. Before leaving, he gave Cui Dake a task and asked him to go to the farm base in Zhangjiakou to discuss cooperation with the Red Star Steel Mill to see if he could get some meat to make up for the shortage in the factory.

After completing a new round of expansion and merging several subordinate units, the number of workers in the steel rolling mill has exceeded 40,000. Miyun cannot afford such a large supply, so it can only find a way to solve the meat supply from other places to maintain the stability of the factory.

Now society has begun to go haywire. A large number of students skip classes and gather together every day to study which steel mills are more stable than other factories. The benefits provided by steel mills are so good that they are the first to disagree with any changes.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"It's quite a bit. We've just started cooperating, so they have to taste the sweetness."

"This is a great achievement."

"You will take a day off tomorrow and report to the Red Star Steel Mill the day after tomorrow. I will appoint you as the second-level clerk of the Logistics Department, responsible for negotiating material cooperation matters in various places. When the time comes, I will ask the steel mill to allocate you a house in Sijiu City."

As soon as these words came out, envious eyes turned to Cui Dake. This kid is really lucky. He was valued by Zhang Renkang. Now they are jealous of why this good thing can't happen to them. This is a sudden wealth, real estate and household registration in the city.

Cui Dake was even more ecstatic. He had not really believed that Zhang Renkang would agree to help him with his household registration so readily. He thought that Zhang Renkang would use this matter to keep him on suspense. However, Cui Dake had no choice but to do everything well and let Zhang Renkang see his value to fight for that hope.

Cui Dake's eyes were already filled with tears. He had been ridiculed by others in the past few years, and few people really looked up to him. Cui Dake actually knew in his heart that in order to get out of the countryside and pursue a better identity and living conditions, only Cui Dake knew what he had paid.

He flatters every leader he meets just to get a look at him, and tries his best to do every task assigned by his superiors, all for a tiny hope and opportunity to try to change his fate.

Now that Zhang Renkang has given him hope and has fulfilled his promise without hesitation, Cui Dake is tempted to die for Zhang Renkang.
