Early morning of July 30th.
Wan Feng sat in the half-open back seat, while Yang Jianguo drove and Han Meng sat in the passenger seat to the county town.
When the car drove onto the national highway leading to the county seat in Wulu Township, Yang Jianguo began to express his feelings about the pickup truck.
The handling is flexible and elegant, the gear shifting is smooth, and the horsepower is strong and powerful.
The downside is that the noise inside the car is a little too loud, as if there are a few crickets chirping all the time.
The advantages and disadvantages are exactly the same as the feeling of Wanfeng test drive.
Then Han Meng continued to drive from the Wulu government to the county seat.
These were the basic points he summarized after arriving in the county.
That’s enough. Wan Feng believes that a car born in 1990 can basically achieve these points.
As for indoor noise, no effort has been made to reduce it.
What is needed in today's society is that the car can run smoothly and has strong power. As for exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and noise, they are not the main reasons hindering car sales.
The key to buying a car nowadays is whether you can afford it, whether the car is powerful, and whether you will love it and break it down.
No one else is busy enough to think about it.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that this is a prototype car. Some changes will be made in this regard after the new car rolls off the production line.
After arriving at the county government, Wan Feng had to be polite and tactful with the county officials.
As the largest investment project in Hongya County, Hongya Steel Plant not only received attention from the county party committee, but even alarmed the municipal party committee.
Relevant leaders from Bohai City also attended the event.
Hongya County has two major investment projects. The first phase of the fertilizer plant has been completed and is already producing profits.
Twenty thousand tons of urea were produced that month.
At that time, the retail price of urea in China was 500 yuan per ton, and the fertilizer factory made a profit of several dozen yuan per ton of fertilizer.
A million in profit was earned that month.
When the county committee saw that this was a matter of concern, they started the second phase of the project.
It is expected that the second phase of the fertilizer plant will be completed next year. The fertilizer plant will be able to achieve an annual output of 800,000 tons and become a major taxpayer with tens of millions in profits.
Fertilizer plants are doing well, so steel plants with larger investments have naturally attracted more attention.
The steel plant is located in Gangou Village, Shishan Township, west of the Hongshui River. It is close to the Hongshui River and the Yellow Sea is not far downstream.
On the way to the steel plant, the pickup truck turned into a passenger bus, with more than a dozen people sitting in the cab and the rear cargo bed.
There was no other way. The county government only had two broken jeeps, both 130s, which could not accommodate so many people attending the steel plant opening.
When they arrived at the steel plant, Wan Feng found Zhu Guoxiong.
Zhu Guoxiong was accompanied by local garrison leaders and some expert groups from the military. The team was also quite large.
When leaders from all levels arrived and the time came, the opening ceremony began.
The opening ceremony of the steel plant was very grand. Yangko stilts and actors from the county song and dance troupe were invited. It is said that the firecrackers cost several thousand yuan.
Leaders from the city, leaders from the county, responsible leaders and even Zhu Guoxiong all came on stage to deliver speeches.
In such occasions, Wan Feng naturally acted like a coward, and he was unwilling to step forward and show off.
After the speech, there are still some procedures related to superstition that will be carried out.
When these procedures were completed, with a loud shout from a man who looked like a workshop director at the steel plant, the steel plant started smelting.
Of course, Wan Feng did not visit the workshop to see this procedure.
What he wanted was qualified steel rather than understanding the steel rolling process.
The steel plant opened with good momentum, and the tool steel produced in the first batch met the design requirements.
This is the conclusion of military experts, who said that after rigorous inspections, the ship has met the production standards for warships.
This is what Zhu Guoxiong told Wan Feng secretly.
The military personnel were extremely excited, and from their cheerful expressions it was clear that they were very satisfied with the steel produced by the Hongya Steel Plant.
What the military experts say is meaningless.
Isn't it a waste to use steel used to build warships to build cars?
Unexpectedly, after Wan Feng confirmed that the steel plant of Hongya Steel Plant met the design requirements, he had nothing to do and had new troubles arise.
The first phase of the steel plant had an annual output of only 300,000 tons.
The military was about to cut off 200,000 tons with a snap, and Wan Feng immediately expressed his objection.
The military took away half of the 400,000 tons of steel, leaving him with 100,000 tons. Next year, he will be producing dump trucks, trucks, pickup trucks, and machine tools.
Is 100,000 tons of steel enough?
"Grandpa! Why do you need so much steel?"
"Build a warship!"
"How many warships are you going to build?" In 1990, China produced no more than 5,000 tons of warships. Even in 2018, China produced only 200,000 tons of warships. Now you're telling me that building a warship requires 200,000 tons of steel? Who are you trying to fool?
"And submarines, tanks, and artillery."
"I can't use that. If you give me 50,000 tons, you should at least leave me half, right?"
Zhu Guoxiong rolled his eyes at Wan Feng: "What do you need so much steel for?"
Wan Feng rubbed his fingers at Zhu Guoxiong and said, "I'm going to produce trucks next year. Each truck needs at least three or two tons of steel, right?"
Zhu Guoxiong nodded: "Okay!"
"I'm going to produce dump trucks next year. Each dump truck should weigh three or two tons, right?"
Zhu Guoxiong continued to nod: "Okay!"
"I'm going to produce pickup trucks next year. One pickup truck will need three or two tons of steel, right?"
"That's not necessary. I don't even know if your pickup truck weighs three or two tons."
This is indeed not the case. The weight of a pickup truck is less than two tons.
"I don't have a pickup truck, but I do have machine tools. Some of them are huge, weighing several tons each, right?"
"You can use ordinary steel for some things, and the cost is lower."
Zhu Guoxiong began to give Wan Feng advice, but in fact he was preparing to lead Wan Feng into a ditch.
If ordinary steel is used to build cars, why would Wan Feng go through all this trouble?
"Grandpa! It's really not enough! My company uses more than 200,000 tons of steel a year. I've saved 300,000 tons of steel in Heihe. I haven't even started producing cars yet, and I've already used up most of it in the past two years. No! I can't give in to you this time. Give me at least 150,000 tons. When the second phase starts next year, you can have as much as you want."
"Boy! You're getting bolder and bolder. You dare to compete with the military for a job? Do you believe I'll lock you up?"
"Tsk! I'm not from the military, why are you locking me up? Are you even interfering in the local area?"
"Don't forget! You're a captain too!"
Forget about that. He pretended to be a soldier for more than a month when negotiating with the Soviets.
"Grandpa, this is not right! When I was useful, I was a captain. If you tell me that it doesn't count when I'm no longer useful, then you're taking all the blame. You still owe me a special medal of honor! You promised me that."
Zhu Guoxiong is so exhausted. I've already given you a military medal, so why are you saying I owe you a special merit? When did I agree to that? I'm not in a position to promise anyone that! Besides, there's no such thing as a special merit these days.
How can this guy deceive anyone he catches?
