Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Agricultural tricycles are different from ordinary household motorcycles. The core of ordinary household motorcycles is the engine, while the core of agricultural tricycles, in addition to the engine, also has the rear axle assembly.

For an agricultural tricycle, the rear axle assembly is even more important than the engine.

Motor tricycles are rear-wheel drive, so the rear axle assembly of the tricycle also plays the role of driving and braking.

Since the main function of the agricultural tricycle is to pull goods, the central drive bearing has to bear a large load during the transportation of the tricycle. Therefore, the rear axle assembly of the agricultural tricycle not only has higher requirements for driving and braking, but also has certain requirements. bearer function.

Just imagine, if an agricultural tricycle is pulling two tons of cargo, if the technology of the rear axle assembly is not up to standard, it will be very troublesome to start.

The problem of starting is still a trivial matter. The key is the brake. An agricultural tricycle carrying two tons of cargo cannot be stopped by the traditional ordinary brake alone. If the vehicle cannot be braked, it will inevitably cause a traffic accident.

Therefore, the rear axle assembly of agricultural tricycles must use mechanical brakes or oil brake systems. Without these, it is impossible to produce high-load agricultural tricycles.

In fact, China made agricultural tricycles as early as the 1960s. At that time, Beijing Institute of Technology designed a three-wheeled motorcycle with a cab, and then installed a 250 motorcycle engine, which is the famous Dongfeng BM021 tricycle.

After the 1970s or 1980s, there must be memories of this motorcycle. The most common green leather three-wheeled motorcycle on the road in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s was the Dongfeng 021 three-wheeled motorcycle.

This tricycle was quickly imitated by motorcycle companies around the world, and even became a taxi in the capital in the early days of reform and opening up.

However, the Dongfeng 021 three-wheeled motorcycle has a load of only 350 kilograms. If the cargo of 400 kilograms is pulled behind, the car will be a little inconvenient to run, and it will be very difficult to accelerate and brake.

The reason is that the Dongfeng 021 tricycle lacks a rear axle assembly suitable for loading.

The rear axle assembly of the Dongfeng 021 tricycle is modified from the rear-wheel drive of an ordinary motorcycle, so it does not have the characteristics of carrying cargo. Therefore, this three-wheeled motorcycle can only carry 350 kilograms of cargo.

For agricultural tricycles, 350 kilograms of cargo is definitely too little, but in the 1970s and 1980s, there were no other better options, and they could only be used.

With China's agricultural machinery research and development capabilities at that time, it was really impossible to make a rear axle assembly dedicated to agricultural tricycles, and naturally it was impossible to make high-load agricultural tricycles.

It is also because the load of agricultural tricycles is too small that it gives walk tractors and small tractors the opportunity to grow and develop. In the 1980s and 1990s, tractors were always the first choice for farmers. Buy a tractor and use it for farming during the slack season and for transportation during the busy season, so as to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Developed countries can make the rear axle assembly of agricultural tricycles, but developed countries have entered the era of automobiles long ago. They cannot go back to use backward agricultural tricycles, and naturally they will not develop the rear axle of agricultural tricycles. Bridge assembly.

The only exception is Japan. Japan once developed agricultural tricycles, and naturally developed the rear axle technology of agricultural tricycles, but in the end, agricultural tricycles lost to miniature trucks in the competition.

When he was in Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, Li Weidong wanted to tell Pang Yunjie the truth about the motorcycle production line, but he said it and swallowed it.

The reason is that Li Weidong thought of the rear axle assembly production line of the tricycle.

Since Jinyang Co., Ltd. can produce agricultural tricycles, it must have the technology of the rear axle assembly of tricycles.

In the process of converting the agricultural tricycle production line into a scooter production line, the production part of the rear axle assembly is completely unused, so Li Weidong can confirm that,

The production line of the rear axle assembly should still be in the hands of Jinyang Co., Ltd.

In an instant, Li Weidong made a decision to get the rear axle assembly production line of this agricultural tricycle.

With the production line of the rear axle assembly, Li Weidong can buy a motorcycle factory or an agricultural machinery factory and produce a heavy-duty agricultural tricycle.

The life and death of Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is out of Li Weidong's consideration. Anyway, in the future wave of state-owned enterprises going bankrupt, there will be a lot of bankrupt state-owned enterprises, including Taifeng Motorcycle Factory. How many can Li Weidong save alone?

In the wave of reform, it is inevitable for economic development that those enterprises with backward production capacity, backward products and backward management will be eliminated by the market.

Li Weidong is not a virgin bitch, what kind of pattern should I talk about!

The pattern is something that leaders should consider, and Li Weidong is only the director of a township enterprise. Which township enterprise director have you seen to talk about the pattern?

This is like a township middle school teacher talking about the direction of the college entrance examination reform. Is it useful? If you have that time, it is better to give more lectures to the students. Maybe students can get a few more points in the college entrance examination.

Not in his place, do not seek his government!

As for the engine technology of Jinyang Co., Ltd., Li Weidong really dislikes it. After all, it is the technology of 20 years ago, and it is outdated on agricultural tricycles.

In the 1960s and 1970s, diesel engine technology was not perfect. At that time, many medium-sized trucks still burned gasoline, so the agricultural tricycles developed in Japan also used gasoline engines.

In the agricultural tricycles of later generations, diesel engines are more common. Diesel engines have good power and cheap diesel prices, so they are very suitable for cargo-carrying vehicles.

If Li Weidong produced his own agricultural tricycles, he would definitely use diesel engines.

...

Li Weidong was delighted to have won the production line of the rear axle assembly of agricultural tricycles for $100,000.

As for the US$100,000 used to purchase the rear axle assembly production line, Li Weidong did not ask Ma Dexing to go through the formal foreign trade application process, but paid directly from Hong Kong Island.

However, this matter has to be reported to Ma Dexing. After all, when the production line is shipped to China, it still needs to go through customs clearance. All these have to be given the green light by the foreign trade department.

Looking at the purchase contract for the rear axle assembly, Ma Dexing looked at Li Weidong a little helplessly: "I said, Director Li, why did you sign a purchase contract for the production line when I wasn't paying attention? , this is also a violation of labor discipline!"

"Didn't this come to report to you?" Li Weidong laughed and continued: "The main reason is that the price of this production line is really low. One hundred thousand dollars is simply too affordable. This store, so I quickly signed the contract, lest it change later."

"The price is relatively low? When I went to the Taifeng Motorcycle Factory two days ago, didn't you say that the price of the motorcycle production line they introduced was a little abnormal? Why did you also buy a low-priced production line today? And also from this Jinyang Co., Ltd.? You are not afraid of abnormal?" Ma Dexing said with a teasing.

Li Weidong smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyone likes things with good quality and low price! This time, I'm just eating meat behind Taifeng Motorcycle Factory."

"Eat meat? Don't you mean to drink soup after others! How can you eat meat when you come here?" Ma Dexing thought to himself.

Ma Dexing didn't know that Li Weidong spent a mere $100,000 to acquire the rear axle assembly technology of the agricultural tricycle, which is really a piece of meat.

Li Weidong said: "In terms of a scooter production line, three million US dollars is indeed high quality and low price. The key is whether the produced scooters will be recognized by the market. In the past two years, new motorcycle production lines have been added in China. But it is a bit too much, and if the product is not very good, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.”

Ma Dexing nodded: "That's what I'm worried about. After all, Pang Yunjie himself admitted that this production line is relatively old, and I don't know if the scooters they produce will be recognized by the market. But then again, if it's new The production line will not be sold so cheaply.

However, we can't interfere with the normal operation of the company. Taifeng Motorcycle Factory introduced motorcycle production lines, and everything was done in accordance with the formal process. For the three million US dollars, they also took out real money and exchanged them in the foreign exchange swap market. of. Since people follow the formal procedures to exchange foreign currency, we have no reason not to approve it.

By the way, when it comes to foreign exchange, what are you going to do with the 100,000 US dollars? Before you sign the purchase contract, you did not go through the foreign exchange application process. Although 100,000 US dollars is not a lot, it is quite troublesome to go through the foreign exchange application process. "

"Director Ma, don't worry, I don't need the country's foreign exchange for the 100,000 U.S. dollars. I'll find a way myself." Li Weidong paused, then continued; "But when it comes to customs clearance, I have to trouble Director Ma for help. ."

"You can rest assured. The country has always been very supportive of the introduction of foreign advanced technology. Once the production line you bought, it will be given priority to you once it arrives at the customs." Ma Dexing said.

...

Li Weidong estimated that the donation matter had faded away, so he returned to Qinghe.

Before the car stopped, Li Weidong heard a dog barking in his yard. It was a grumpy voice.

The two dogs could distinguish the sound of Li Weidong's big blue bird. They knew that Li Weidong was back and ran to the door to greet the director.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the door opened, and my younger brother Li Weimin walked out excitedly.

"Brother, you're back!" Li Weimin said and walked up to get Li Weidong's luggage.

Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, but he actually took the initiative to help him with his luggage. Is this still the lazy brother?

"Nothing to be hospitable to, either a traitor or a thief, has this kid caused something again?" Li Weidong had a bad feeling in his heart.

So Li Weidong asked sharply, "Are you in trouble again?"

"No, I've been honest these two days!" Li Weimin replied solemnly.

"Want to ask me for pocket money?" Li Weidong asked.

"Brother, you still know me." Li Weimin paused, then said, "My salary for this month has already been spent! Our mother won't give me any money..."

"It really doesn't make people worry!" Li Weidong sighed helplessly, and ran out to hide himself, just to avoid those who came to borrow money. I didn't expect that those who really wanted to borrow money would always be lurking around him.

After all, he is his own younger brother, so Li Weidong still took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Li Weimin, and said at the same time, "Save some money!"

"Brother, can you give me more?" Li Weimin asked.

"One hundred yuan is not enough? How much do you want?" Li Weidong snorted coldly.

Li Weimin stretched out a finger: "Brother, I want a thousand dollars!"

"One thousand yuan?" Li Weidong was shocked, knowing that in 1990, one thousand yuan could do a lot of things.

"You kid, you won't kill anyone!" Li Weidong asked subconsciously.
