Chapter 585: Finally, Technological Innovation
Tonghe County Lulutong Automobile Factory,
Today, the factory director Qian Yun finally got the new blueprints.
One month after its establishment,
This factory only produces civilian versions of jeeps, which is equivalent to directly copying a production line from the arsenal. Qian Yun himself was once the director of the jeep workshop in the arsenal.
Because there was a huge demand for cars among the public, all the jeeps were supplied to the troops.
The so-called civilian version adds a steel canopy, replaces the sofa seat and steering wheel, beautifies the interior, and improves the comfort a little!
Qian Yun frowned as he looked at the drawings on the table.
To be exact, there is only one picture.
There was a picture on the paper of something that looked like both a car and a truck. He looked at Yin Xinjun who was sitting opposite him with some doubt.
"Mr. Yin, I have never seen this car before. It looks like it has two rows of seats in the front, but it has a cargo box in the back..."
"Yes, this is called a pickup truck. It can carry both goods and people. It has four-wheel drive and good passability. You can just extend the chassis of a jeep by more than one meter and it will be almost the same!"
Yin Xinjun's consideration is very simple. The current road conditions in China are poor. Without 3-5 years, the roads cannot be repaired. It may not be practical to put cars on the road on a large scale.
It would be better to start with a large number of pickup trucks!
It is sturdy and durable, especially suitable for running in mountainous areas and countryside!
It can also carry weapons for military use!
Qian Yun thought about it, looked at the drawings again, and said,
"Boss Yin, this drawing doesn't have any detailed dimensions. How am I going to produce it?"
Yin Xinjun blushed and said,
"First, build a few prototypes, just as I said, based on the Jeep. Then, give them to everyone to try out. If the response is good, we can start mass production!"
It’s not that Yin Xinjun didn’t consider a car, but the newest car he had was from 1947, and this thing is updated very quickly, so he decided to wait!
Qian Yun reacted quickly and said immediately,
"Boss Yin, this is a great innovation. It's the first innovation in the automobile industry in our Mulan Special Zone. I will arrange production tasks immediately!"
The layout of the automobile industry has been initially completed. Tonghe County produces pickup trucks and off-road vehicles, Mulan County produces jeeps and trucks, and Changchun City produces buses!
What remains is gradual subdivision. In this area, it depends on how fast private enterprises grow!
The approach Yin Xinjun is taking now is to vigorously promote outsourcing, publicize technology and drawings, take advantage of the resources at hand, provide a large amount of cheap raw materials, and continuously improve the scale and technical strength of private enterprises!
If private enterprises grow bigger and stronger, they can enrich the automotive industry chain. Yin Xinjun believes that quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes. For this, he just needs to wait patiently!
When leaving,
Yin Xinjun specifically instructed Qian Yun to speed up the design, production and testing. From July 7, pickup trucks must be put on the market in large quantities. Everything must be done before the founding ceremony as a gift for National Day!
In fact, the most important role of automobiles is to improve the efficiency of social operations. As long as the efficiency is improved, the process of industrialization will be greatly accelerated!
After leaving Tonghe, Yin Xinjun drove back to the military sub-district headquarters. He had three offices, the other two were in the municipal government and the arsenal.
He is a man of unlimited energy, and usually goes to at least two of the offices every day.
There were only a few reports on the table.
Now all the troops under his command are fighting outside and have been assigned to the Fourth Field Army for command.
Yin Xinjun also specifically requested that unless there was an urgent need for help, telegrams should generally not be sent, and that matters should be reported to the Fourth Field Army.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are now in peace talks, and there is no fighting for the time being. All troops are on standby near the Yangtze River!
He had just picked up the first report and hadn't read it carefully when the duty officer knocked on the door and came in.
"Report to the commander, Director Chen is calling!"
Yin Xinjun took the telegram and found out that Director Chen asked him to go to Beiping to discuss something. The two sides met almost every month to discuss some major issues in the country's economic construction!
"Call me back, I'll be there right away!"
Zhengzhou City,
Dehua Street,
The sky is overcast.
It was drizzling.
Dagang looked at the two 10-yuan notes in his hand and felt like crying but couldn't.
Zhengzhou was finally liberated. They say the new government is the people's government, but why is the money still depreciating as much as before?
Yesterday, flour was still two yuan a pound, but today it has gone straight to three yuan! This is almost as expensive as the gold yuan coupons of the past!
He has visited four food stores and found that the price of flour ranged from 2.9 yuan to 3.3 yuan.
Dagang is a coolie who helps people load and unload goods at the train station. He only earns three to four hundred yuan a month!
He has two children under the age of ten, and his wife doesn't have a job, so the whole family relies on his income to make ends meet!
Ran all over the street,
My shoes were already covered in mud.
Dehua Street is a dirt road, and there is only one cement road in the whole of Zhengzhou.
Seeing that he was almost at the doorstep of his home, Dagang looked at the twenty yuan in his hand and turned around and walked back. He ran for more than ten minutes and finally went to the store where the money was sold at 2 yuan. This store was the cheapest!
Twenty yuan was gone, and he had an extra cloth bag in his hand. Tonight, the two kids could eat the noodles cooked by their mother again!
Dagang's home is in an alley at the southern end of Dehua Street. It is close to the train station, and many workers who work at the station live here!
Dagang returned to his wooden house excitedly. As soon as he opened the door, the two children rushed over to him with sweet little mouths and kept shouting "Daddy, Daddy!"
Although this home is only a dozen square meters, shabby, with a big bed, an old table, a wooden cabinet, and no decent furniture, it is Dagang's warmest home.
Dagang raised the flour bag in his hand and said happily,
"Let your mother cook noodles for dinner!"
The two kids jumped up happily! For children, eating something delicious is always the happiest thing!
Dagang felt a little surprised that his wife Guifen was not at home today. Usually, Guifen would go to the wasteland near the station to plant some vegetables, but she would usually come back very early!
Like today, it was almost time for dinner and he hadn't come back yet. It was the first time in history.
Since his wife was not around, the noodles needed to be left to rest in advance. Dagang quickly took out a small bowl of flour and fetched some water from a wooden barrel to start kneading the dough.
While he was busy, the door opened and his wife Guifen came back, her hands on her hair, all wet! There was only one umbrella in the house, and Dagang took it away!
But his face was full of happy smiles!
"Where have you been? Come and knead the dough!" Dagang stopped and said impatiently. After all, kneading dough is a delicate job and his wife is better at it!
"I found a job!"
"What!?"
"I found a job! 500 yuan a month!"
