Wan Feng was driving the tractor, and Xiao Jun was sitting on his left. After a long pause, he uttered, "What on earth is that mouth of yours made of?"
Wan Feng chuckled: "It's made of dough."
"You've tricked a good man like Zheng Laosan into buying a tractor."
"What do you mean by being fooled by me? I was just pointing out a way for him to make money. So, if you understand it that way, then you were also fooled by me?"
"I feel like I've been ripped off. Where's your luxury tractor?"
"Hey, don't worry. Have you read Lenin in 1918? There's a classic line in it: There will be bread, there will be twisted dough sticks, there will be ham and other things too."
Xiao Jun was confused: "What is ham sausage?"
The word "future" popped up again.
"In a few years you'll know what ham sausage is."
"I think what you said is quite interesting. Apart from anything else, can the driving building be built?"
Is this guy not doing his job properly? He wants to drive a building even if he earns a penny.
"You want a pilothouse?"
Xiao Jun nodded. "I think it's better for the tractor to have a cab. 22 also has a canvas shed, which can block the wind in winter and the dust in summer."
"That's too easy. I haven't had time to do it yet. I'm really planning to build the things I told Zheng Laosan about in the future. I think the cab is a small matter. Your tractor should be equipped with air brakes. That's the real deal."
"Aren't these brakes pretty good now?"
The brakes on trailers nowadays are lever-type brakes and front brakes similar to those on horse-drawn carriages.
This type of brake is okay unless there is an emergency, but it will not stop the car at all if there is an emergency.
At that time, there were very few motor vehicles in society, and the requirements for brakes were not very high. However, in 1986, faced with the increasing number of tractors used for transportation, the Hongya County Agricultural Machinery Management Bureau began to compulsorily require tractors to be modified with air brakes. Tractors with more than 28 horsepower must have four-wheel air brakes, and small-horsepower tractors must also have two-wheel brakes, otherwise they will not be subject to annual inspection.
"It's far from being possible this year. I don't think it will be possible this year. Maybe next year, when we can produce the air pump, all the tractors we produce will have air brakes. They are very safe and can stop the car once you apply the brakes. We don't have to worry about stopping on a slope.
"What about that tipping bucket you mentioned?"
"That depends on what you do. It can be used if you're hauling sand or stone, but it won't work if you're hauling bricks. When you get to the construction site, can you just scrape the bricks off? They won't pay you for that."
Upon hearing that the brick-hauling bucket would not be used, Xiao Jun stopped thinking about it.
"How much does that set of air brakes cost?"
Wan Feng roughly calculated that the cost of the air pump, air cylinder, pressure gauge pipeline, brake cup, brake pot and brake pads would be about 150 yuan based on current prices.
"It's more than three hundred yuan."
Xiao Jun immediately became depressed.
"But you won't need that much. I'm talking about the price of tractors with air brakes in the future."
As he was speaking, Wan Feng drove his tractor to the newly opened road and appeared at the construction site where the brick factory was currently delivering bricks.
The construction site that Zhou Bingde built last year was completed after May Day this year, and all the people from the First Construction Company are now at Xinkailu.
Luck is really a strange thing. Zhou Bingde hadn't been to the construction site for a long time, and Wan Feng caught up with him as soon as he arrived today.
What the First Construction Company is currently planning to build is the Hongya County Department Store and its affiliated company.
Three large shopping malls are planned in this area, namely Hongya Department Store, Supply and Marketing Joint Building and Hongya Shopping Mall.
The first two are the work of the first-level construction team, and the last one is the work of the second-level construction team.
Not far from them, the new theater in Hongya County is under construction by the Xinkailu Daonan Sanjian.
The largest of these projects is the department store and the joint venture, which are expected to take three years to build.
Wan Feng drove the four-wheeled vehicle directly in front of Zhou Bingde: "Godfather, I bought you a sedan, what do you think?"
Zhou Bingde was furious when he saw it: "You little bastard, you are bullying your godfather because he has never seen a tractor. Even if you make it smaller, I will still recognize it."
"Hey, Godfather! It seems like I haven't seen you for over a month. What good news is going on that makes you look so rosy-cheeked?"
Zhou Bingde put his left hand behind his back and stretched out his right hand to gesture towards Daoxi: "See? This one-mile-long construction site is all mine, godfather."
Wan Feng exclaimed, "Oh my god!" It turned out that both the joint venture building and the department store were built by him.
"Both buildings have more than ten floors," Zhou Bingde said proudly.
"Godfather, you are so amazing! You have snatched up such a big project."
"Tsk! They're competing with me!" Zhou Bingde curled his lips.
Godfather has grabbed the meat, so he must drink the soup!
"Hey, Godfather, with all that crappy equipment you have, I estimate it will take until 1990 to finish building these two buildings."
"Get lost! You can't even say a word of kindness. I'll have to cover it up in three years."
Wan Feng shook his head. "Your equipment is bullshit. Look at our tractor. It's very convenient for pounding sand and pulling bricks here. It's much faster than your workers pushing wheelbarrows. This will greatly improve work efficiency."
Not to mention that Wan Feng just said it casually, Zhou Bingde actually walked around the tractor.
"No, this thing is still a bit big, and the two halves can't be separated even if you walk around the construction site. If you can make a smaller one, I really want it."
Holy crap! Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's already here.
"Godfather, our Wahou Machinery Factory now manufactures tractors. Using the technology we use to make tractors, I can actually build a special vehicle for your construction site. It's shorter and smaller than this truck, with a small dump truck on top. It can haul a ton of cargo, and one person can handle it. It has a mechanism that unloads the cargo automatically when you pull it."
"Oh! And this thing has a dump truck. How much does that cost?"
"No more than three thousand."
"Go away, you dare to show off in front of your godfather? Build me one first. If it's practical, give me thirty or twenty."
When Wan Feng heard this, he thought it meant he was going to get rich.
"No problem. I'll bring you a prototype in half a month and drive it here for you to test it yourself."
"good!"
"And Godfather, in order to speed up the project, would you like me to design a set of construction equipment for you?"
"Your blender is pretty good. Make me five or six more, bigger ones. The previous one is a bit small."
Wan Feng originally wanted to suggest making a bulldozer for him, but then he thought he could not bite off more than he could chew. If the tractor became a hit, he would not have the time to test that thing.
After chatting with Zhou Bingde for a while, Wan Feng drove to the local miscellaneous company.
He planned to ask the manager of the grocery company whether they were qualified to sell tractors.
The agricultural machinery company looked down on them and asked other businesses to do the business. He didn't believe that people would stop eating pork if Zhang the Butcher died.
If it really doesn't work out, they will find a place to sell the products in the county themselves and will not involve Hongya Agricultural Machinery Company in the future.
