Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....
It was already past seven in the morning when Wan Feng arrived at the Nanwan Factory.
When passing by the garment factory, Luan Feng called him into the office and scolded him like a teacher scolding a primary school student.
Wan Feng did not refute until Luan Feng had finished speaking.
"What do you think I know? There are so many leaders, partners, and backbones in the factory. How can I not toast to each table? If you toast, you have to drink it. It's a pity that I used the smallest cup. If the cup was bigger, you might be left alone."
Jiang Min's favorite thing to do is to listen to Wan Feng and Luan Feng's chatter. Luan Feng angrily called Wan Feng over, and her ears were almost erect like a rabbit, listening to the couple's verbal battle without saying a word.
She had a plan to compile the conversations between Luan Feng and Wan Feng into a book and use it as a joke collection in the future.
Luan Feng thought about it and it made sense.
"You can't drink that much."
"Do you think I'm willing to drink? When have you ever seen me drink liquor before? Can you please use your brain when doing anything in the future? Did Sister Min instigate you? Look at her hiding in the corner, smiling like a fox. It's obvious that she bewitched you."
Jiang Min, who just wanted to watch a show, suddenly became angry.
Today she did not bewitch Luan Feng. She was wronged, even more wronged than Dou E.
When Wan Feng walked into the gate of Nanwan Factory, it was already past working hours, but there were dozens of people gathered in the yard of Nanwan Factory.
There were also two motorcycles placed among these people.
It's obvious that these are three new cars.
These people are motorcycle buyers from all over the country, and what they are going to do now is test ride the new motorcycles.
Although these buyers have seen the AX100 motorcycles, they are not familiar with this model. Therefore, from yesterday to now, apart from Zhang Shiqian's 100 motorcycles, no second order has been placed.
This morning, these buyers asked for a test ride. Zhu Yong discussed it with Chen Daoli Da and brought out two motorcycles for these guys to test ride.
Wan Feng thought that these guys were just here to have some fun under the pretext of a test ride.
Zhu Yong finally emerged from the office and issued instructions: "Everyone can ride for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, you can ride wherever you want, even in the air. No one will bother you. But at the end of the ten minutes, you must ride back."
"What if it runs too far and can't ride back?" someone asked.
"If you can't return, you'll be labeled a dishonest individual. You'll be last in line for future orders and your share will be reduced. This is very important. We only produce a little over a hundred units a day. Don't blame others if it's not your turn. Also, the test ride was your own request. If anything goes wrong during the test ride, our factory will not be responsible! Remember that?"
"Director Zhu, what if the gas runs out while riding?"
"If it runs out of gas, you let it ride you back. If a bicycle breaks down, you have to carry it. If your motorcycle runs out of gas, how can you come back without letting it ride?"
Someone laughed.
"Okay, go refuel outside the factory, then ride one by one. After you're done, give us your feedback."
These people pushed the motorcycle out of the factory gate. Sure enough, there were workers waiting in the square outside the gate. They had two large plastic bottles that could hold 50 kilograms and a small plastic bottle of engine oil.
After filling the motorcycles with gasoline and oil, the buyers played a game of rock-paper-scissors to distribute the supplies, and then someone started the motorcycle and rode away.
Wan Feng walked into the workshop, which was bustling with activity.
Wan Feng changed into his work clothes and ran to the workshop to fill in the gaps.
The engines coming off the engine manufacturing line are transported along the conveyor belt to the assembly workshop, where they are then assembled into complete vehicles.
The vehicle assembly line at the Nanwan plant is semi-automatic and still requires a certain amount of manual labor for assistance.
Wan Feng walked around the assembly workshop and listened to the introduction of the workshop director.
"This assembly line designed by Engineers Chen and Li is capable of 50,000 vehicles. We can currently produce 100 vehicles a day, but it will probably take some time to reach full capacity."
This is a normal phenomenon because it is a semi-automated assembly line, which is related to the workers' proficiency.
As workers become more skilled, the production capacity of the assembly line will naturally increase.
"Is that line idle now?" Wan Feng asked, pointing to a closed production line on the other side of the workshop.
After the assembly line was successfully built, two more were added, but due to insufficient engine production, the other line is now idle."
"Under the situation where engine production cannot be resolved, they can only be left idle."
This engine production line from Suzuki has an annual production capacity of 50,000 units.
Although the vehicle assembly production line designed by the Nanwan plant itself also has an annual production capacity of 50,000 units, because two of them were laid out at once, there is a lack of an engine production line.
Li Da and others have already drawn the blueprint of the engine production line and are preparing to copy a line.
However, the processing accuracy of many parts on this line cannot be achieved by their current machine tools.
Fortunately, we now have CNC machine tools from the Soviet Union. As long as we fully understand these machine tools, it is not difficult to imitate an engine production line.
As long as the engine production line can be successfully copied, he can produce as much as he wants in a year as long as he has the space and the people.
As for intellectual property rights... a Japanese idiot talked to me about intellectual property rights in 1987?
You can find whoever you want.
It seems like when they copied Western products back then, they talked to others about intellectual property rights.
Let’s talk about intellectual property rights in a few years.
But by the time we discuss this issue again, he will already have his own intellectual property rights.
In the packaging workshop next to the assembly workshop, motorcycles without front wheels and handlebars that came off the assembly line were loaded into wooden racks and covered with cardboard boxes.
Then they enter the warehouse for registration and are picked up by customers.
Wan Feng came to the workshop where Soviet experts were giving lectures.
There are not so many workers attending classes in this workshop now, but there are still twenty or thirty workers receiving training from Soviet experts here.
These people were skilled operators selected by Chen Dao and Li Da, and they were the first batch of workers to be trained.
Qi Hong was among them.
This woman is amazing. She was chosen to come here.
She is still an apprentice.
Wan Feng soon discovered a phenomenon: Qi Hong was always following Chen Dao stickily.
Oh my god, that thought that flashed through his mind that day is not going to become a reality, right?
Does this woman Qi Hong have an Oedipus complex?
When Wan Feng arranged for her to meet Han Daicheng, she went without hesitation and even bewitched Han Daicheng.
This possibility is very high.
