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....
When it comes to food, the Chinese are second to none, and no other country on earth dares to claim first place.
The Chinese have been eating it for more than five thousand years, how many days have those foreigners only been eating it?
While Chinese people are frying, stir-frying and deep-frying, they are also chewing on tree bark.
Wan Feng was very happy that the Helan people could adapt to life here.
"Curit! Didn't you go to the food court in Wahou for dinner? When it comes to food, that's where Jiangwei has the most variety."
Curiet beamed with joy: "Yes! We went there almost every three days. We plan to try all the delicious food in the food street by the end of the year."
This is a good ideal.
As long as they fall in love with the local food, their hometown will gradually become blurred in their hearts.
It’s best to stay here forever and never leave.
"Curit! I hope you can live happily in China."
"We are having fun now."
Curit and his colleagues have reason to be happy. They earn hundreds of times more here than local Chinese employees.
The current price level in China is quite low. They have found the feeling of being rich here, so how can they not be happy?
Wan Feng did not ask about Curite's work, knowing that it was useless to ask. It would take them more than two or three years to achieve results, but at least five years.
Wan Feng plans to invest 1 billion yuan in the next five years.
This is only the case in China. If it were in a foreign country, even 5 billion might not be enough to make it.
Low prices have the advantage of low prices, and costs are also low.
"Curit, I'll treat you to dinner someday."
Curiet nodded with a smile.
After lunch, Wan Feng returned to the office to continue drawing his car model.
The Toyota Camry is finished, and the next one is the Toyota Carol.
After finishing this drawing, he plans to draw two European cars. He can't always pick on Toyota.
After drawing a few strokes, Wen Guanghua's truck suddenly came to my mind.
He completed the task of the dump truck successfully. I wonder what the status of the truck is now.
Go check it out!
Come to the truck workshop in the automotive department.
As soon as he entered the truck workshop, Wan Feng saw two semi-finished medium-sized cargo trucks parked in the center of the workshop.
One has a pointed nose and the other has a flat nose.
The pointed-nosed car looks very similar to the Jiefang 141.
Neither vehicle had a carriage installed, and the pointed vehicle didn't even have a cab.
The flat-head truck does have a cab installed, but it looks very unsightly because it is not painted.
This is another cargo truck that Wen Guanghua built after he built the dump truck, and it was built with both a pointed head and a flat head.
The appearance of the flat-head truck is based on the CA150PL2 launched by FAW in 1995. It uses an engine that is modified from a Soviet Kamaz 6115 engine and has its own partial intellectual property rights.
The gearbox and rear axle are almost a replica of a Kamaz truck, but with significant modifications.
The designed load capacity is seven tons and the designed speed is 110 kilometers per hour.
The development of these two vehicles was actually earlier than that of the small dump truck, but the progress was delayed because the temporary research on the dump truck gave way.
After the dump trucks went on the road for extreme testing, Wen Guanghua picked them up and continued to develop them.
It was around twelve o'clock.
It was supposed to be a break time, but what Wan Feng saw was that Wen Guanghua and a group of workers with greasy faces gathered in a circle in front of the truck.
Several drawings were spread out among the crowd.
Everyone was holding a lunch box in their hands, eating and talking at the same time.
Because they were concentrating, these people did not notice Wan Feng.
"All the components of the car have been tested on the test bench and there are no problems. Now they have been assembled together. So we will start and idle for the first time this afternoon. If there are no problems, we will test the whole vehicle on the test bench tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What do you think?" Wen Guanghua said as he hurriedly put a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
"What's the big deal? It has to start up sooner or later. If there's a problem, it can be discovered and fixed sooner."
"Bah! I know you have a bad mouth and nothing good to say. Can't you just say there's nothing wrong?"
The guy called Crow Mouth said nonchalantly, "Just because I say there's nothing wrong with me is enough. If I had that ability, General Wan would have worshipped me long ago. How could I be with the poor and lower-middle peasants here?"
"Oh my god! This guy actually looks down on us! Hold him down! I'm going to fill his stomach with cold water."
Crow's Mouth reacted very quickly, standing up and running.
When they turned around, they saw Wan Feng looking at them with a smile.
"Boss Wan! You see, I can't stay in this workshop anymore. These bastards are ganging up on me." Crow Mouth immediately complained.
Wan Feng knew it was all a joke and came over to them with a smile.
"Your habits are not good. When you eat, just eat. Don't think about anything else or do anything else. You have to distinguish between the primary and the secondary. It's okay now that it's summer, but if it were winter, wouldn't you just eat cold rice? Wen Guanghua! You are the leader, and this kind of leadership is not good."
"Boss Wan! We will listen to you from now on."
Wen Guanghua took a stool, put a newspaper on it, and pushed it in front of Wan Feng.
Wan Feng sat down on the mat, took out a pack of Camellia cigarettes and distributed one to each person, then threw the rest to Wen Guanghua.
Crow Mouth is a very funny guy. He quickly grabbed the cigarettes and took out two of them, one between each ear.
"Just two, just two!" After saying that, he returned the cigarettes to Wen Guanghua with a sullen look on his face.
Wen Guanghua took the cigarette and cursed with a smile: "Fuck, how could we have a jerk like you in our department?"
"Artist! Any news from the dump truck?"
As the president of the group, Wan Feng has a lot of things to do every day and it is impossible for him to know everything.
"Testing at the Hainan test track has been completed and is basically considered qualified. They are now roaming in the Gobi Desert and other deserts in Xinjiang, providing a lot of information and valuable experience. They are expected to return in August."
The dump truck test fleet has been out for more than two months and should be back in August.
As long as it is tested again on the ice and snow track in winter, if it passes the test, it can be submitted for production.
"Where's this truck?"
"The prototype has been built. We'll start the actual vehicle test this afternoon, and then put it on the test bench. If there are no problems on the test bench, we'll put it on the road for testing. When the dump truck test team returns, this car will probably also undergo extreme testing."
The development of the automotive sector is orderly and gradual, which Wan Feng is very satisfied with.
As long as everything goes according to plan, we will reach the peak sooner or later.
Wan Feng stayed in the truck workshop until after one o'clock and came out when it was time to go to work.
I went back to the office to continue drawing the car model. Just as I finished drawing Carol, the phone rang.
Wan Feng picked up the phone, thinking it was Cheng Gong calling from Shanghai.
Cheng Gong has been gone for almost half a month. Regardless of whether the tape-out is successful or not, he should give me a call.
But the voice coming from the phone was Lin Lairong's.
