Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Wang Haibin got into the 212 Jeep with a depressed look.

Just as Li Weidong expected, Wang Haibin couldn't buy a single car, even if he had the list approved by the Department of Transportation in the plan.

Of course, Huanghe Factory didn't say anything. They just said that the production capacity was insufficient, so there were no cars for Wang Haibin at the moment. If Wang Haibin needed to pick up a car, he would have to wait in line.

As for the waiting time, Huanghe Factory is also relatively clear. The car will be ready around the middle of 1986.

Wang Haibin had a plan for 1985, but had to wait until mid-1986 to mention the car. Who can explain this!

Wang Haibin also knew that Huanghe Factory didn't really have any inventory, they just didn't want to sell the car to you and deliberately found an excuse to hold it back first.

It is extremely rare for Wang Haibin to receive the planned approval slip but not receive the goods. Wang Haibin also knows that those who dare to do this are big manufacturers with background and strength, so he goes to the Department of Transportation

Complaints have no effect.

"It's not that I, Wang Haibin, don't work hard, it's just that the Yellow River Factory bullied people too much!" Wang Haibin took a deep breath with some annoyance. The procurement task has not been completed. After returning to Qinghe, I am afraid it will not be easy to entertain the company leaders.

As the director of the Purchasing Department, Wang Haibin's job is to purchase various materials for the transportation company. Unplanned materials are sometimes in short supply. It is understandable if they cannot be purchased, but if planned materials cannot be purchased,

, that means Wang Haibin has no ability.

Today, Wang Haibin is holding a note about the plan but cannot pick up the car. This is enough for the company leaders to question his ability to work.

"We can only shift the responsibility to Huanghe Factory, saying that Huanghe Factory's production capacity is insufficient and we won't be able to deliver the car until next year. Anyway, that's the same reason Huanghe Factory gave me." Wang Haibin decided to pass the blame.

After starting the jeep, Wang Haibin drove to the guest house. He planned to leave Jicheng early tomorrow morning and leave this place that made him depressed.

…

Li Weidong made a long-distance call to Cui Dashan and asked for a week's travel leave. During the call, Li Weidong did not say that he would help Wei Bin translate Japanese books, but only said that Huanghe Factory had some technical problems and needed his help.

This excuse made Cui Dashan very confused. What technical problems could a repairman help Huanghe Factory solve?

However, with Wei Bin as a guarantee, Cui Dashan did not embarrass Li Weidong and readily agreed.

For Cui Dashan, Li Weidong is just an idler in the workshop. With him, there are not many people, but without him, there are not many people. Without Li Weidong wandering around in the workshop, Cui Dashan can still be at ease.

In Cui Dashan's eyes, Li Weidong's value is to allow him to take out his little red notebook.

So Li Weidong moved to the guest house in Huanghe Factory to help Wei Bin translate the Japanese book.

The conditions of the Huanghechang Guest House are indeed very good, and the food in the guest house is also very rich. According to the standards of the time, it was more than enough to receive foreign guests.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Weidong had finished translating the Japanese book. He planned to report to Wei Bin, bid farewell, and return to Qinghe Transportation Company.

Li Weidong came to the rework workshop of Huanghe Factory and saw Liu Jinlong squatting in the sun and smoking.

"Brother Liu, is Director Wei here?" Li Weidong asked.

"Director Wei is in the office." Liu Jinlong replied, and then waved to Li Weidong, motioning for Li Weidong to come over.

When Li Weidong arrived in front of Liu Jinlong, Liu Jinlong said, "Be careful when you see Director Wei later. Director Wei is not in a good mood today."

"Why?" Li Weidong asked.

"The car has a technical problem, and the cause has not yet been found. The engineers in the factory are also upset about this matter." Liu Jinlong replied.

Li Weidong did not ask in detail. He said goodbye to Liu Jinlong and went directly to Wei Bin's office.

"Director Wei, I have finished translating this book." Li Weidong said and looked at Wei Bin, only to find that Wei Bin had a pair of panda black eyes and a haggard look on his face.

"Director Wei, you seem to be in a bad mental state!" Li Weidong said.

"Hey, don't mention it. There was something wrong with a batch of cars. I stayed up all night last night, but I still couldn't find the cause." Wei Bin said.

"Is there a batch of cars? How many?" Li Weidong asked.

"There are hundreds of them!" Wei Bin said, took off his eyes, rubbed Qingming point, and then said: "Many of the Ya62 heavy trucks produced by our factory last year were sold to Yankuang, and this is the batch.

There was a problem with the car, and the factory asked us to find a way to solve it as soon as possible without delaying Yankuang's normal production."

Li Weidong nodded to express his understanding that Yankuang is a very large national enterprise and a top state-owned enterprise, and coal supply is related to people's livelihood and the normal operation of the economy. Ensuring Yankuang's production is a political task.

Although Huanghe Plant is very powerful and is a key provincial enterprise, it is just a younger brother in front of Yankuang. If Yankuang stops operating, there will be no coal supply, and a large number of enterprises in North China and Northeast China will be paralyzed.

Wei Bin continued: "Although Yankuang is pressing hard, this is not what I am most worried about. What I am worried about is that our cars have some design flaws. Once that happens, it will not just be sold to Yankuang."

There are problems with the hundreds of vehicles mined and the thousands of vehicles we produce."

"If it's a vehicle design problem, I'm afraid there will be a large-scale recall..." When Li Weidong said this, he suddenly remembered that there was no such thing as "car recall" in China in the 1980s.

"Car recalls? That's a matter for developed countries. We don't have recalls in our country. If there is a problem with the vehicle, we either have to make do with it and continue to drive it, or we simply stop production."

Wei Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head, and continued: "I thought I could make a turnaround with the help of the Yaoliu-2 heavy truck, but I didn't expect something went wrong. In the final analysis, our skills are inferior to others!"

Speaking of which, this is because we have taken too big a step. The Ya62 heavy-duty truck in our factory uses a lot of Austrian Steyr technology. In fact, according to the original plan, we planned to use Steyr's technology in five years.

technology, and then imitate Steyr heavy trucks.”

Wei Bin said this, put on his glasses again, and continued: "It's a pity that time waits for no one. The country has demand for heavy trucks, and there is pressure on efficiency. Our factory also needs to survive, so we will combine Starr's technology with our factory's original technology."

Some technologies were integrated to create the Ya62 heavy-duty truck. Now that I think about it, this move was too hasty, and we have not yet thoroughly studied many key technical issues."

Steyr heavy-duty trucks are Austrian technologies from the 1970s, but many of their core components are made from West German goods. Therefore, when the country introduced them in 1983, this truck could barely be considered world-class.

The person responsible for the introduction of Steyr heavy trucks was the China National Heavy Duty Truck Co., Ltd. at that time. The China National Heavy Duty Truck Co., Ltd. had three companies under it, namely Huanghe Factory, Shaanxi Automobile and Sichuan Automobile, which would be the future China National Heavy Duty Truck, Shaanxi Automobile and SAIC.

red rock.

These three companies gradually absorbed and digested Steyr's technology, and by the late 1980s, they were able to successfully copy domestically produced Steyr trucks.

Since then, domestically produced Steyr has become the only symbol of China's heavy-duty trucks, which has influenced China for two decades. Throughout the 1990s, all domestic heavy-duty trucks were Steyr. When it comes to Chinese heavy-duty trucks, it refers to Steyr.

Even today, many domestic trucks still contain Steyr technology.

The Huanghe Plant once produced China's first heavy-duty truck, the JN150, and had some technical reserves. Therefore, after obtaining Steyr's technology, it developed the Huanghe JN162 within a year and launched it on the market.

However, this JN162, which was launched in a hurry, still has a lot of minor problems, and many technical problems have not been solved at all. The Huanghe factory is also producing, checking faults, and improving the design at the same time.

For Huanghe Factory, if the JN162 heavy truck has serious technical defects, it will have disastrous consequences. Production of the entire truck will be stopped, and Huanghe Factory will also be in trouble.

In fact, it’s no wonder that the Huanghe Plant and the Sinotruk Joint Venture Company spent US$600 million in foreign exchange in order to introduce Steyr’s technology. There must be a sound.

The Sinotruk joint venture could not wait a few years to slowly digest Steyr's technology, so it was imperative to launch the Huanghe JN162 and bring economic benefits as soon as possible. The car was built and sold well.

The Sinotruk joint venture can also give an explanation to the country, showing that the precious foreign exchange of 600 million US dollars was not wasted.

…

Li Weidong was overjoyed when he learned that the Ya62 heavy-duty truck had a problem that was difficult to solve. He was good at repairing cars, not to mention he had a trump card.

Li Weidong asked: "Director Wei, can you tell me what's wrong with your car?"

"It's okay to tell you. Many of the cars Yankuang bought had automatic disengagement in fourth gear," Wei Bin said.

Li Weidong thought for a while and said: "If only the fourth gear is automatically out of gear, there is most likely a problem with the fourth gear of the transmission."

"I've replaced it with a new one, but it's useless. I still need to disengage the gear." Wei Bin shook his head.

At this moment, there was a quarrel outside the office.

"I told you, there must be something wrong with the gear bushing."

"If I replace it with a new gear bushing, will it be out of gear? I would say it's a problem with the gear gauge."

"Haven't the transmission gauge been replaced? The fault is still there, so it's still a problem with the gear bushing. It should be a defect in the design, and we didn't take it into consideration."

"Then I can also say that the transmission gauge is defective!"

In the office, Wei Bin frowned, stood up and walked out of the door. He saw two engineers in their thirties standing in front of a broken down car, arguing fiercely.

"Why are Gong Zhang and Gong Wang quarreling again?" Wei Bin sighed helplessly, and then walked over.

Seeing Wei Bin approaching, the two young engineers stopped arguing.

"Keep arguing! Why don't you stop arguing?" Wei Bin said with a straight face.

The two smiled awkwardly, obviously a little afraid of Wei Bin, and one of them said: "We are not arguing, Mr. Wei, we are just having a technical exchange. I think the design of the gear bushing should be improved."

"No, there is a design flaw in the transmission gauge." Another person immediately retorted.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Weidong quietly walked to the broken-down car.

The cockpit of this car has been opened, revealing the mechanical parts inside.

Huanghe JN162 adopts a reversible cockpit design, which is very friendly to car mechanics. The mechanic no longer has to climb up and down to drill into the engine compartment.

Li Weidong looked into the engine compartment and found that the car's gearbox had been disassembled, exposing the gears inside.

"Is fourth gear automatically released?" Li Weidong frowned, as if he was lost in memories.

After a while, Li Weidong seemed to remember something.

I saw Li Weidong say: "Director Wei, two teachers, I think I already know the cause of the fault."

Everyone turned to look at Li Weidong at the same time, and the two engineers realized that the young man in front of them was a stranger.

"Wei Gong, who is this?" Wang Gong was the first to ask.

"This is a friend of mine, here to help me with a little help and translate some documents." Wei Bin said casually.

"Translator? Are you a college student from Handong University?" This time the person asking was Zhang Gong.

Li Weidong shook his head: "No, I am a car mechanic."

The expressions of Zhang Gong and Wang Gong changed at the same time, and there was a trace of disdain in their eyes.

Then Engineer Wang even said: "What we are discussing now is the design of the gearbox. You are an auto mechanic, so don't cause trouble."

"These two engineers look down on me as an auto mechanic!" Li Weidong shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he had to show off his skills today.
