Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 76 Difficult to start

"At present, building a joint venture factory is not a good idea. It can introduce advanced foreign equipment and give us the opportunity to learn from foreign advanced technologies, slowly allowing us to produce domestic parts that meet their technical standards.

, the domestic production rate is slowly increasing little by little." In fact, this is not the first thing Wang Shi has proposed. As early as December last year, Chinese-American Yang Hanhua had conveyed to the Ministry of First Machinery Industry the willingness of American automobile companies to cooperate with China in the production of Jeeps.

, and agreed to the joint venture in March last year.

It was not until a few years later that the most important thing for China's automobile industry was to usher in the era of joint ventures.

The main purpose of establishing a joint venture is to obtain advanced foreign technology to develop the overall technical level of our automobile industry. When the joint venture was established, the country had certain requirements for the localization rate, and the purpose was to use foreign technology and equipment to drive development.

The overall development of China's automobile industry, but reality has slapped everyone in the face. Among them, Shanghai Volkswagen Santana, like other joint ventures, was initially assembled in the form of all-knockdown parts. However, after more than two years of full-knockdown parts, Santana's

The localization rate is only 2.7%. Only accessories with low technical content such as wheels, radio recorders and antennas are made in China.

This allows the Chinese people to know the gap between themselves and countries with developed automobile industries such as the West. This is a comprehensive gap in the overall industrial level.

We started from scratch and crossed the river by feeling the stones. Later, facts proved that moving from imitation to independent design was a path that we had to take.

Wang Shi explained what he knew about the pros and cons of the joint venture, and the director listened attentively.

"Director, in fact, in addition to high-end cars, the production of agricultural vehicles is most suitable for our existing technical level. Now we are in urgent need of an agricultural tractor that is both durable and has a large load capacity. The technology of agricultural vehicles is compared with that of cars.

The requirements are not that high. As long as the durability and reliability are met, the requirements can be met. Our country has vast rural areas. For us, this is a very urgent need for a product that meets our own rural market. I think we have two hands to grasp it.

, one hand is focusing on joint venture cars, and the other hand is starting to develop agricultural vehicles that are popular in rural areas." Wang Shi said.

Agricultural tractors have always had a market in China, and even forty years later, several agricultural vehicle brands such as the Golden Deer tractor have been welcomed by the market.

The technical requirements for agricultural tractors are not as strict as those for cars. As long as they are durable, farmers should not consider so much about comfort.

"Yes, this is also a direction. Compared with cars, we have vast rural areas. If we have an agricultural vehicle that is durable, reliable, and suitable for rural areas, it will be of great help to our country's construction. Xiao Wang, please continue.

"The director said.

Tractors can not only be used as trucks and are cheap, but also played a very important role in economic construction when heavy trucks did not exist.

"Hehe, Director, actually after saying so much, I am a little selfish." Wang Shi said.

"Oh, Xiao Wang, are you..." How can a person without any discernment be a leader? As soon as Wang Shi said these words, the other party immediately knew what Wang Shi was planning.

Wang Shi didn't hide anything. He took out a drawing from the document bag he carried with him and said, "Director, please take a look."

This is an agricultural tractor designed by Wang Shi based on the agricultural tractors of later generations.

This is a four-wheel drive agricultural tractor designed by Wang Shi with an independent cab and a hydraulic dump truck.

"Did you design this yourself?" When the director saw the design, he saw that it was different from existing tractors. This tractor had an independent cab, which increased comfort, and four-wheel drive, making the power more reliable.

"Yes, it has just been designed. This car is equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine..." Wang Shi then expressed his thoughts, "For now, we will start with agricultural tractors.

On the one hand, it solves the current needs of our vast rural areas, and on the other hand, it can reserve technology and talents, killing two birds with one stone."

"What, you also designed the engine?" The other party was even more surprised when he heard this.

The engine is not that easy to work on. What does this guy think? What does he want to do?

"Yes, it is being designed." Wang Shi nodded and said, "It was designed in about two or three months. I want to open an engine manufacturing company. I wonder if the country has a policy in this regard now?" There is no comprehensive policy yet.

Let go, I don’t know if the country can give itself some policies in this regard, such as funds, talent and technology.

"The idea is good, but it can't work now. There is no such precedent." The other party said with a little pity.

That means it will happen in the future?

"It's a good idea, keep up the good work." The director said meaningfully.

Okay, this sentence is enough.

The situation is still unclear. What does the leader mean by saying this, to wait until the clouds clear up?

Wang Shi looked at the other party gratefully, and the other party laughed twice, returned the drawing to Wang Shi, and ended the conversation.

Wang Shi went outside the door, but Uncle Huang was still standing there. Uncle Huang didn't ask about the content of the conversation. Wang Shi said goodbye to Uncle Huang, went down to the first floor and rode his bicycle towards the repair shop.

Now his apprentice Lin Zhengtang is basically here during the day, while Lei Zi only comes here on Sundays and sometimes comes here to sleep after lunch. Lin Zhengtang goes to night school to learn English at night.

From a distance, he saw a black Mercedes-Benz parked outside the store. The door was open. Wang Shi walked by and took a look. The car was not turned off, and white smoke was emitting from the exhaust.

"Who is so rich?" Wang Shi saw that there was no one in the car, and the car did not turn off.

Hearing Wang Shi's voice, Lin Zhengtang walked out and said anxiously: "Master, you are finally back."

"Whose car belongs to you? You have money, but you still waste it like this."

"You are willing for me. I really have no choice." Before Lin Zhengtang could answer, a hoarse voice came from the store. A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears came out. The one on the right

He held a leather bag under his armpit, wore a leather black coat, and a silver watch. As he spoke, he saw two gold teeth on the upper part. A bunch of keys hung on his waist, which made a jingling sound with his footsteps, as if

It's like carrying a band with you.

"Boss, what's going on?" Wang Shi asked.

Nowadays, boss is a high-ranking title. Unlike forty years later, as long as you buy something from someone, they will call you boss, and the streets are full of bosses. Later, boss is no longer valuable, and it is changed to something a bit literary.

Teacher shouted.

When the other party heard Wang Shi call him boss, he felt very comfortable and said at the top of his lungs, "Master, I don't know what's wrong with my car. It's very difficult to start as soon as I turn off the engine. I don't even dare to turn off the engine. For this reason

I have spent a lot of money on gas, and there is only one car shop like yours in the whole city of Beijing. You have to help me repair it, money is not an issue."

Difficult to start?

Wang Shi was thinking about it and asked the other party to drive the car to the repair ditch.

From now on, the problem caused by engine failure has been eliminated.

It's winter now. Is it caused by improper use of engine oil? Just like Claire's heavy truck last time, the viscosity of the engine oil used is inconsistent. Or is it?

Wang Shi turned off the engine and parked the car, then turned the key, but nothing happened.

The car is now hot, not cold, and the engine temperature is within the normal operating range. The current engine oil has not solidified due to the outside temperature, causing the car to cool down but start.

After ruling out the cause of the engine, Wang Shi took the electric meter and started searching from the starting line.
