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 the workers at the machinery factory learned that the factory had signed a sales contract with Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company for 300 tractors in a month, their morale and enthusiasm immediately soared, but they also felt tremendous pressure.
Three hundred units a month is the output for one quarter last year!
For true warriors, pressure often turns into motivation. The people in the mechanical factory turned pressure into motivation.
In just over an hour, another prototype was assembled, and the two prototypes began testing at the same time.
After three days of high-speed testing, the first prototype was assembled into a prototype vehicle and began load testing.
Subsequently, the second prototype vehicle also entered the actual vehicle test.
These two prototype vehicles transported sand, stones and bricks in just a few days.
Anyway, the construction of the Wahou Hotel and dormitory building has been finalized, and both require construction materials. These two prototype vehicles will serve as spare materials during the testing.
Wan Feng, who is affiliated with the Wahou Electronic Equipment Factory, also sent two tape recorders for testing. Wan Feng was not sure which level of department the product should be inspected by.
Anyway, there has been no news about these two recorders since Zhang Hai took them to the public office and handed them over to the relevant departments.
Wan Feng was not in a hurry about the tape recorder, but he was anxious about the engine. This was related to how much profit the machinery factory could make this year, and he had a 5% share of the profits.
If the annual production is really 3,000 units, the net profit of each car is 1,300 yuan, and his 5% is 65 yuan.
How much does three thousand cars cost?
Nearly two hundred thousand!
How could he not be angry!
Although the contract with Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company is due in March, it is already February and there are not many days left.
He can't return to Heilongjiang with peace of mind until the engine problem is resolved.
Even though he received a letter from his mother yesterday asking him when he would bring Luan Feng back.
These days, one of the prototypes is in Wan Feng's hands. He drives this tractor to transport sand and stones, and then red bricks and cement tiles. He never lets this vehicle sit idle.
If it hadn't thawed, he would definitely have pulled the two plows to do a 30-centimeter deep plowing to see if the engine could handle it.
Anyway, it's a prototype car. It's normal if it breaks down. It would be a surprise if it doesn't break down.
But something unexpected happened. For half a month, no matter how Wan Feng built the car, it just wouldn't break!
It just isn't bad!
In the end, Wan Feng was so depressed that he wanted to burn incense and kowtow to beg the car's engine to break down just for once. If it didn't break down, how could he find the problem?
The other tractor was in Xiao Jun's hands, and the order he received was to build it as much as he could, especially to use the engine as hard as possible.
The situation is the same. The car has no problems after half a month of hellish use.
Since the engine is so durable, it means there is no problem with it, so the engine project can be officially launched.
The group of people recruited at the end of last year were assigned to the production of engines. An assembly line operation method was also designed. With sufficient spare parts, twenty engines were produced on the first day.
This is still the result of unskilled process. If the process is skilled, it would not be a problem for the assembly line to produce thirty or forty engines a day.
After the engine problem was solved, the output of tractors increased, and one assembly line could assemble eleven tractors a day.
From February 25th to March 1st when the contract with Sutun Agricultural Machinery Company began to be fulfilled, the tractor factory had nearly fifty tractors waiting to be shipped in four days.
After Yu Jiadong came to Wa again, Zhou Bingde sent him to build a building again.
After the planning was completed, it was agreed that the construction of the dormitory building would start in mid-March. As for the hotel, no one was willing to take the job, so Zhang Hai had to find those bricklayers who built houses nearby. After all, it was just a two-story building, not much different from building a residential house. If he couldn't figure it out, Yu Jiadong was still there.
It's not difficult to give him some money and let him take command.
Wan Feng’s worries were resolved, and he also planned to take Luan Feng north.
"Sister Min, I'll probably be at least half a month away from Wan Feng's house. I'll leave this mess at home to you."
"Go with peace of mind." Jiang Min just said these few words.
If a few more words are added at the end, the meaning will be different. If you just hear "go with peace of mind", it always feels that this is not a nice thing to say.
"Director, we will miss you after you leave!" Li Erman jumped out again, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
"Director, you can go without worry. We will take good care of you."
Luan Feng's face darkened the more he listened. "Stop it! What do you mean by after I leave? What do you mean by letting me go without worry? Are you hoping I won't come back? Humph! Wait until I come back and I'll dock your wages!"
Wan Feng was at a loss for words. These women spoke without restraint and talked about everything.
On March 2nd, Wan Feng and Luan Feng set out from Wa and boarded a bus at Gushan to Hongya, then took a bus to Purang County and then took a regular train from Bohai directly to Harbin. It took two days and they got off at Harbin Station.
I originally wanted to take Luan Feng for a stroll in Harbin, but when I saw how cold it was, I gave up the plan. It won’t be too late to take a stroll when the weather is warmer when we come back.
The train from Harbin to Longzhen was not so crowded, and Wan Feng even bought a sleeper berth.
Luan Feng, who was riding a train for the first time in her life, was interested in everything on the train. After the train ride from Pulan to Harbin, her attention shifted from the train itself to the scenery outside the window. She leaned against the window and watched for a long time.
"Will your mother like me when you tell me about your home?"
Luan Feng was silent for a long time and then blurted out a sentence.
“Have confidence in yourself. Only those who have confidence will be respected by others.”
"I'm very confident in myself, but you're too good, you bastard. You're so good that you make me feel inferior."
The carefree Luan Feng also has this feeling now. It seems that she is under tremendous pressure.
Wan Feng thought that this guy was heartless forever.
"You are very talented, but you just haven't realized it. Not everyone can lead more than 30 people, especially more than 30 women."
In fact, women are a group that is more difficult to get along with, and Wan Feng has no intention of discriminating against women.
Women are not as open-minded as men. Men can turn a blind eye to some trivial matters, but women often get sleepless over trivial matters.
So leading thirty women is not an easy task.
"Really?! Do you think I'm really that good?"
"You are truly outstanding. Come and hold your chest high and tell me: I am the best!"
Luan Feng puffed out her chest and shouted confidently, "I'm the best!"
"I'll say it again, I'm the best club!"
"I'm the best...you're the idiot!"
