Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

When Zou Jianshe left, a big depression was written on his face.

Inexplicably being deceived by someone, no matter who it is, they will feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Li Weidong successfully turned bad things into good things, not only solved the problem, but also got orders from the construction company of the Highway Bureau, which can be said to be a rewarding achievement.

The research and development of the new loader is still in progress in an orderly manner. In order to catch up with the expansion of the G104 national road, Li Weidong has given the technical death order, and the prototype must be developed before the end of the year.

At the same time, there is good news from Du Jiahai from Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory. The hydraulic power unit has been integrated into the agricultural vehicle, and the new agricultural vehicle has the function of dumping.

The new agricultural vehicle adopts a five-wheeled design, and the rear cargo box is larger and can also carry more weight.

Li Weidong named this agricultural vehicle the Fukang No. 2 agricultural vehicle.

At present, Fukang No. 2 has developed a total of four styles. The Fukang 201 is the most basic five-wheeled style; the Fukang 202, on the basis of the Fukang 201, adds a closed cab, which can protect from wind and rain.

The Fukang 203 is based on the Fukang 201, and the self-unloading function is added; and the Fukang 204, based on the self-unloading power, adds a closed cab.

These four agricultural tricycles will be put into the market by the end of the year.

Although the end of the year is a low season for agricultural machinery sales, as long as the spring flowers bloom, agricultural machinery will immediately usher in the peak season.

Li Weidong launched the new agricultural tricycle to the market one quarter ahead of schedule, also to build momentum in advance, so as to forget the coming time and impact a good sales volume.

...

A car was parked in front of the office building of the tractor factory, and the factory director Gao Chongguang got out of the car.

"Gaochang is back!" Someone was waiting here and took the briefcase from Gao Chongguang.

"Gaochang, this business trip went well, right?" Another person asked.

Gao Chongguang nodded: "Not bad, I found an old friend who works at Qingqi, and they are willing to help us produce a batch of high-torque motorcycle engines."

This year, the efficiency of the tractor factory is very poor, and the sales of tractors are even cut in half compared to last year.

The impact of agricultural tricycles on tractors is one aspect, and the other reason is that the Dongfanghong small four-wheel tractor has been technically improved to improve power and stability.

Dongfanghong was originally the most famous brand, but now the improved performance has not increased the price, making Dongfanghong small four wheels stand out among many similar products.

The technology of Yituo Factory is originally the top in China. As the eldest son of the Republic of the tractor industry, the various support provided by the state is not comparable to other tractor factories.

This is equivalent to drawing a card with its own king fried. It is difficult for other tractor factory products to compete with Dongfanghong Small Four Wheels.

Facing the decline in efficiency, Gao Chongguang did not sit still, he decided to directly copy the agricultural tricycle.

So Gao Chongguang specially approved some funds for the research and development of agricultural tricycles.

Not long ago, those agricultural tricycles purchased in full without using agricultural machinery subsidies were exactly what the tractor factory did.

The structure of the agricultural tricycle is still very simple, at least it is not difficult to overturn the tractor factory.

But the tractor factory wants to copy the agricultural tricycle, but it faces two problems. One is that it cannot find a suitable engine, and the other is that the rear axle assembly is insufficiently loaded. If these two problems are not solved, it is impossible to make an agricultural tricycle.

Fortunately, Gao Chongguang has also been the factory manager for many years, and he has some personal connections. He went directly to Qingqi Motorcycle and asked Qingqi Company to help him produce the engines of agricultural tricycles.

Among the domestic motorcycle manufacturers, Qingqi can be regarded as a top existence. Qingqi, which was established as early as the 1950s, is an old state-owned enterprise with strong technical accumulation. Later, it imported technology from Japan to produce the Suzuki King motorcycle, which is also a generation of best-selling motorcycles. God car.

With the technology of Qingqi, it is of course possible to make an engine suitable for agricultural tricycles.

After solving the problem of the engine, the difficulty in front of Gao Chongguang is only the rear axle assembly.

...

In the technical department of the tractor factory, Gao Chongguang looked at the rear axle assembly with some modifications, and he was in a good mood, but was instantly knocked down to the bottom.

"Gaochang, we have done our best. The rear axle assembly we developed has a load capacity of 1.2 tons." The technical director lowered his head and said.

"But Fukang's tricycle can pull two tons of cargo!" Gao Chongguang snorted coldly.

"Gaochang, if you want to improve the performance of the rear axle assembly, you need to carry out a lot of tests and make constant adjustments." The technical director said.

"Then don't hurry up and do the real test!" Gao Chongguang said.

"But this test fund..." The technical director continued hesitantly: "The 100,000 test fund last time has been spent."

"It's spent again? For this rear axle assembly, our factory has invested 300,000 before and after, but the load has just reached 1.2 tons?" Gao Chongguang said very dissatisfied.

"Gaochang, no one can say about technology research and development!" said the technical director with a bitter expression.

"It's a bottomless pit!" Gao Chongguang pouted, and he also knew that technology research and development was very expensive.

When Jinyang Co., Ltd. developed this rear axle assembly technology, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to say the least. Today's tractor factories are far inferior in technology to Japanese companies, and only spend hundreds of thousands of yuan, just like gnawing on the rear axle. It is obviously impossible to become this hard bone.

Li Weidong was able to buy the production line of the rear axle assembly at an ultra-low price of $100,000 because he saw through the tricks of Jinyang Co., Ltd. and used it as a threat.

If the Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory is allowed to develop normally, it may not be possible to develop it with a few million dollars.

It can be said that the rear axle assembly has become a technical barrier for agricultural tricycles.

The market for agricultural tricycles has not yet been cultivated. As far as the Chinese enterprises at that time were concerned, those who had the ability and funds to develop rear axle assemblies did not look down on the meat of agricultural tricycles; and the enterprises that looked at the meat of agricultural tricycles, And there is not enough funds and strength for research and development.

"I'll give you another 200,000 yuan, how far can you do it?" Gao Chongguang asked.

"There is a high probability that it can be adjusted to 1.3 tons to 1.5 tons!" The technical director said so, but he was very unreasonable.

"What if I want to forcibly pull two tons of cargo? Will the rear axle assembly break?" Gao Chongguang asked again.

"It's not broken enough, but if the wear and tear is too much, it will definitely be damaged." The technical director paused, and then said: "Actually, the most important thing is the problem of braking. The rear axle assembly we developed, If you pull two tons or so, the brakes may fail."

"I just can't stop the car!" Gao Chongguang nodded.

I saw Gao Chongguang think for a moment, and then said, "I can't wait for the time, let's use the current rear axle assembly to produce it!"

"But this rear axle assembly can only pull 1.2 tons of cargo, which is much less than Fukang's agricultural tricycle." The technical director said immediately.

Gao Chongguang snorted coldly: "Although Fukang's agricultural tricycle can pull two tons of goods, isn't the marked load only 700 kilograms?

Moreover, our agricultural tricycles can actually pull 1.2 tons of cargo, so it's not a fool to mark one ton! If buyers insist on pulling two tons of cargo, they are overloaded, and it has nothing to do with us! "

...

Du Jiahai knocked on the door and walked into Li Weidong's office.

"Director, the tractor factory has also started selling agricultural tricycles," Du Jiahai said.

"It's not surprising. The market for agricultural tricycles will become larger and larger, and more and more people will imitate them. But is the technical level of the tractor factory so strong? The rear axle assembly has been developed so quickly?" Li Weidong asked with some doubts.

"I also wonder, we imported technology from Japan. No matter how powerful the tractor factory is, it is impossible to surpass our factory! Did they also import technology from Japan?" Du Jiahai said.

"The rear axle assembly technology of agricultural vehicles can be bought not only from radishes and cabbage but also from vegetable markets! Even Japanese companies, not many have developed this technology. I only got the rear axle assembly because I happened to meet them. Complete production line!"

Li Weidong paused, then asked: "By the way, you said just now that the tractor factory's technology surpasses ours. What's going on?"

Du Jiahai immediately replied: "I went to ask, the tractor factory's agricultural tricycle has a load of one ton, and our Fukang No. 1 has a load of only 700 kilograms!"

"One ton? Isn't that actually able to pull three tons of cargo? It's about the same as our Fukang No. 2! Did they also use five wheels?" Li Weidong asked immediately.

"No, it's three wheels." Du Jiahai said.

"How can you support three tons of cargo with three wheels? Aren't you afraid of running with a flat tire? Our country's tires can't reach this quality. Is he using imported tires?

Michelin? Princeton? Pirelli? No, I think too much, these brands of tires should go to the F1 arena, how can they be put on agricultural vehicles! "

Li Weidong frowned, and then said, "Lao Du, you go and buy a tricycle made by a tractor factory. Let's test the performance on the spot. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be safe in a hundred battles!"

...

In the yard of the agricultural machinery factory, Du Jiahai is testing the agricultural tricycle produced by the tractor factory.

Seeing that, the tricycle slammed into the wall.

"Brake, Lao Du, brake quickly!" Li Weidong shouted.

"Bang!" The agricultural tricycle still hit the wall, and the front wheels were crooked.

Li Weidong rushed up immediately and helped Du Jiahai out of the car.

Fortunately, the speed of the car is not fast, and the Du Jiahai people are fine, but they are a little stunned by the shock.

When Du Jiahai was a little more awake, Li Weidong asked, "Old Du, why don't you brake!"

"I'm on the brakes. I've stepped on the brakes all the way, but I can't stop!" Du Jiahai said with an aggrieved face.

"How could this happen? The brakes failed?" Li Weidong asked.

"I think it's because there are too many things in the car." Du Jiahai replied.

"I only loaded two tons of cargo on the car just now, why can't it stop the car?" Li Weidong looked at the agricultural tricycle that had been knocked out of shape, and then said;

"This car is marked with a load of one ton, shouldn't it really only be able to pull one ton of cargo? The tractor factory is too honest to do business!"
