Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 237 Being attentive for nothing (please subscribe)

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, is the rear axle assembly.

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

Motorized 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 an agricultural tricycle is to pull goods, the central transmission bearing has to bear a larger 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.

carrying 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 braking. An agricultural tricycle carrying two tons of cargo will definitely not be stopped by traditional ordinary brakes alone. If it cannot stop the vehicle, it will inevitably cause a traffic accident.

Therefore, the rear axle assembly of an agricultural tricycle must use a mechanical brake or oil brake system. Without these, it is impossible to produce a high-load agricultural tricycle.

In fact, China produced 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. This is

The famous Dongfeng BM021 tricycle.

Those born in the 1970s or 1980s must have 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-wheeler.

This tricycle was quickly imitated by motorcycle companies from all over 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 capacity of only 350 kilograms. If a cargo of 400 kilograms is pulled behind it, the car will be a little inconvenient to run, and acceleration and braking will be very difficult.

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

The rear axle assembly of the Dongfeng 021 tricycle is modified based on 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 an agricultural tricycle, the cargo capacity of 350 kilograms is definitely too little, but in the 1970s and 1980s, there was no other better choice, so we had to make do with it.

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

It is also because the load capacity of agricultural tricycles is too small, which gave walking tractors and small tractors the opportunity to develop and grow. 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.

When used for transportation, it is a pleasure to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Developed countries can produce rear axle assemblies for agricultural tricycles, but developed countries have entered the age of automobiles long ago. It is impossible for them to return to using backward agricultural tricycles, and naturally they will not develop rear axles for agricultural tricycles.

Bridge assembly.

The only exception is Japan. Japan has developed agricultural tricycles, and naturally also developed the rear axle technology for agricultural tricycles. However, in the end, the agricultural tricycles still lost to mini trucks in the competition.

When he was at Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, Li Weidong wanted to tell Pang Yunjie the truth about the motorcycle production line, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

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

Since Jinyang Co., Ltd. can produce agricultural tricycles, it must have the technology for tricycle rear axle assemblies.

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

inside.

In an instant, Li Weidong made the decision to acquire the rear axle assembly production line for this agricultural tricycle.

With the rear axle assembly production line, Li Weidong could purchase any motorcycle factory or agricultural machinery factory to produce agricultural tricycles that can carry heavy loads.

The life and death of Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is not within Li Weidong's consideration. Anyway, in the future wave of state-owned enterprise bankruptcies, 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, so why should he talk about the pattern?

Pattern is something that leaders should consider, and Li Weidong is just the director of a township enterprise. Have you ever seen any director of a township enterprise talk about the pattern?

This is like a rural 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 the students can get a few more points in the college entrance examination.

If you are not in your position, you will not be able to govern!

As for the engine technology of Jinyang Co., Ltd., Li Weidong really doesn't like it. After all, it is a technology from 20 years ago and is already outdated when placed 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.

Diesel engines are relatively common in agricultural tricycles in later generations. Diesel engines are powerful and cheap, making them very suitable for cargo-carrying vehicles.

If Li Weidong produces his own agricultural tricycle, he will definitely use a diesel engine.

…

Li Weidong was very happy to acquire the production line of rear axle assembly for agricultural tricycles with only 100,000 US dollars.

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

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

Looking at the rear axle assembly purchase contract, Ma Dexing looked at Li Weidong helplessly: "I said Factory Director Li, why did you sign a purchase contract for the production line when I wasn't paying attention? You know how to find foreign companies privately?

, this is also a violation of labor discipline!"

"I'm here to report to you, aren't I?" Li Weidong chuckled, and then said: "Mainly because of this production line, the price is really low, one hundred thousand US dollars, which is simply too affordable. I thought about it, have you passed this village?

This store, so sign the contract quickly to avoid changes later."

"The price is relatively low? When you went to Taifeng Motorcycle Factory two days ago, didn't you say that the low price of the motorcycle production line they introduced was abnormal? Why did you also buy a low-priced production line today? And it was also from Jinyang.

Co., Ltd.? Aren't you afraid of being abnormal?" Ma Dexing said jokingly.

Li Weidong smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyone likes high-quality and cheap things! This time, I'm just following Taifeng Motorcycle Factory to eat."

"Eat meat? Isn't it always said to follow others and drink soup? How come you are eating meat?" Ma Dexing thought to himself.

Ma Dexing didn't know that Li Weidong spent a mere US$100,000 to acquire the rear axle assembly technology for agricultural tricycles, which really made him rich.

Li Weidong said: "As far as a scooter production line is concerned, three million US dollars is indeed a good value for money. The key is whether the produced scooters are recognized by the market. In the past two years, the number of new motorcycle production lines in China has increased

But there are too many, and if the products are not very good, it may be difficult to survive.”

Ma Dexing nodded: "This is what I'm worried about. After all, Pang Yunjie himself admitted that this production line is relatively old, and I don't know whether the scooters they produce are recognized by the market. But having said that, if it is new,

The production line will not be sold so cheaply.

However, we cannot interfere with the normal operation of the company. Taifeng Motorcycle Factory introduced a motorcycle production line, and everything was done in accordance with formal procedures. These three million US dollars were also exchanged in the foreign exchange market with real money.

. Since they follow the formal procedures for currency exchange, we have no reason not to approve it.

By the way, speaking of foreign exchange, what are you going to do with the $100,000? Before you signed the purchase contract, you didn’t go through the foreign exchange application process. Although $100,000 is not a lot, this foreign exchange application process is

The process is quite troublesome."

"Director Ma, don't worry. I don't need the country's foreign exchange for these 100,000 US dollars. I will find a way on my own." Li Weidong paused and then said; "But when it comes to customs clearance, I have to ask Director Ma for help.

.”

"Don't worry, the country has always been very supportive of the introduction of advanced foreign technology. Once the production line you bought arrives at the customs, it will be given priority to you," Ma Dexing said.

…

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

Before the car stopped, Li Weidong heard a dog barking from his yard. It was a disgraceful sound.

The two dogs could distinguish the sound of Li Weidong's Big Blue Bird. They knew Li Weidong was back and quickly ran to the door to greet the director.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened and his younger brother Li Weimin walked out excitedly.

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

Li Weidong was slightly stunned, and he actually took the initiative to help him carry his luggage. Is this still the lazy and greedy younger brother?

"Being courteous for nothing, committing adultery or stealing, has this kid gotten into trouble again?" Li Weidong had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

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

"No, I have been very honest these past two days!" Li Weimin replied seriously.

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

"Brother, you still understand me." Li Weimin paused and then said: "My salary this month has been spent long ago! My mother doesn't give me any money..."

"It's really not a worry!" Li Weidong sighed helplessly and ran out to hide, just to avoid those who came to borrow money. Unexpectedly, the people who really wanted to borrow money were always lurking around him.

After all, he was his biological brother, so Li Weidong still took out a hundred yuan, 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 one thousand yuan!"

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

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