Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Many people are familiar with the Beijing 212 Jeep.

However, the research and production of that car would not begin until 65.

The prototype of 212 is the Willys Jeep captured from the Free Beacon State.

The Modou brand Jeep in He Yuzhu's hand was also based on the Willys CJ-3A model.

He Yuzhu nodded: "I have this idea. Now we just need to take it apart and see. If it works, we can build it ourselves. Even if it doesn't work, it will be a maintenance for this machine."

Lu Xiaomi thought about it and said, "Then you should try your best to produce this, and then our factory will have its own jeep."

There is a clear difference between having one and having many.

Although it was a personal reward given to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu did not treasure it.

He also generously stated that if other leaders needed the car for official business, they could also drive out.

But if he owned more than one jeep, Lu Xiaomi would also have the opportunity to use the jeep for official business.

"It's too early to talk about this now. Wait until I finish dismantling it."

According to the nameplate on the car body, the engine used is the M20 4-cylinder engine manufactured by Jinling Automobile Factory.

The power is 36.75kw, and the frame is manufactured by Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai.

The rear axle housing was welded by the Technical School of the Labor Bureau of Modu City; the transmission housing was manufactured by Modu Gongxing Machinery Shipyard (now the Engine Factory of Modu Yichu Company).

The gears were produced by Zheng Xingtai Automobile Parts Manufacturing Plant in Modou (the predecessor of today's Modou Automobile Gear Factory).

These large items have nameplates on them, showing the origin of each part.

Lv Xiaomi said in surprise: "I thought these were produced by the car factory itself."

"Do you think all manufacturers are like us and need to produce all spare parts ourselves?"

He Yuzhu then said: "Call these manufacturers and see if their production plans allow them to sell parts to us. As long as we buy all of them, we can also assemble them ourselves."

Assembly is actually a big deal. The same parts will produce different conditions in different assembly plants.

For the same car, some cars can run tens of thousands of kilometers without any problems, but some cars have been suffering from minor problems since they left the factory. Today this car breaks down, and tomorrow that car breaks down. It’s all because of assembly problems.

However, assembling the jeep was not a difficult task for He Yuzhu, because just during the Spring Festival, a system message appeared in front of him.

[You have learned a new skill - Jeep Assembly, level 1]

Although this new skill is limited to jeeps, temporarily possessing this skill can improve the jeep production line and establish operating standards and procedures.

Train assembly workers and set up an automobile assembly plant.

If you want to gain the skill of assembling a car, you can just disassemble a car.

Lu Xiaomi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you when I get back."

In addition to these assemblies, there are still many parts in the car, ranging from as small as a screw to as large as a steel plate. It is impossible for every part to have a nameplate to indicate which company produced it.

There are requirements for the specifications and strength of each part of the car.

Even a screw cannot be taken lightly.

Only when it meets the standards can a car run smoothly.

He Yuzhu first disassembled the entire jeep, then maintained it and reassembled it into a jeep.

Then he drove to the institute and entered Director Zhu's office.

"Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"

He Yuzhu said, "Old Zhu, I dismantled the jeep today."

"What do you mean by demolished? You didn't break it, did you? If you did, it would be useless for you to come to me."

"No, listen to me. The jeep is fine. Look up and it's parked in the yard."

Director Zhu was a little worried and actually went to the window to take a look.

I saw the jeep parked in the yard and felt relieved.

He came back and sat on the sofa and asked, "So what brought you here today?"

He Yuzhu made two cups of tea and said, "What do you think of our machinery factory producing jeeps?"

"Puff" Director Zhu spat out the tea in his mouth and coughed twice.

After a pause, he said, "Are you kidding me? Why do you want to produce a jeep?"

He Yuzhu said: "Look, you have such good tea leaves, but you have wasted the freshly brewed tea. If you don't want to drink it, I'll take it away for you."

Director Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I give you a few kilograms of tea last time? Why are you trying to take my tea?"

Then he said, "Asking for tea leaves won't affect our business, why do you think so?"

He Yuzhu said: "I checked the data and found that the Magic City Automobile Equipment Factory only produced 498 jeeps last year."

Director Zhu nodded: "It seems to be this many. I remember it was 500."

He Yuzhu said: "Look, there is only one company in the country that can produce cars, so I wonder why we can't produce cars?"

Director Zhu said: "But there is not such a great demand in society, and all the money has been allocated to the leaders."

He Yuzhu said, "Director Zhou, you are confused. This is a jeep that can go off-road. Don't the troops need it? Don't governments in remote areas need it?"

"this."

He Yuzhu said: "We can produce 5000 vehicles a year, and I think we can sell them all. Besides, if we can't consume them domestically, we can sell them to our international friends."

In 49, the country was just established.

The so-called free country brought together all its allies to come up with an embargo agreement.

Restrict these countries from doing business with newly established ones.

However, there are still many underdeveloped friends in the international community.

Their country has no industrial base, so producing jeeps and selling them is a solution.

The production of Jeeps is different from the small-scale ones we had before.

All of the above accessories require cooperation from other factories.

It is no longer possible to produce all the accessories independently.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to discuss with Director Zhu today.

He Yuzhu needs the assistance of the entire system, so many parts do not need to be produced by himself.

We only produce a part and then assemble it.

Director Zhu was quickly persuaded by He Yuzhu and said he could help with the preliminary data sorting.

Even if all the parts are purchased from other factories and then assembled, it will be a great political achievement.

"Have you decided to just copy the Modu Type 58 Jeep?"

He Yuzhu said: "Of course, I will use this accessory first and try to assemble it. I will optimize some parts later."

"This is also a way of thinking. You can't achieve everything in one go. You have to take it step by step."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Get all the parts first. It would be best if we could get the other party's parameters, and then our machinery factory can conduct trial production according to those parameters."

He Yuzhu discovered that this jeep had major problems when he disassembled it previously.

Historically, the production of this Type 58 Jeep was stopped after less than 700 units were produced because of many problems that could not be solved.

You should know that 498 vehicles were produced last year, which means that only 200 vehicles were produced this year and the production of this car was stopped.

He Yuzhu plans to start with this jeep and conduct research based on it.

All parts were upgraded and modified in an attempt to create a jeep that could drive normally.

You should know that it took until 212 for Beijing 66 to officially go into production.

From 58 to 66, there was no jeep production in the country.

He Yuzhu wanted to seize the opportunity. As long as he could develop it successfully, his machinery factory would be the only jeep production base in the country.

After leaving the research institute, He Yuzhu went back to dismantle the jeep again and began to study and find out the problems with these parts.

Soon Lv Xiaomi came back and said, "I have called Director He. Some of them directly agreed to provide us with parts, while others said that they needed to wait for the superiors to hold a meeting to discuss it."

He Yuzhu said, "I have just been to the research institute and talked to Director Zhu. He will help coordinate the purchase of parts. Please contact Director Zhu's secretary."

"Ok!"

In He Yuzhu's opinion, the entire jeep had problems everywhere, the most important of which was that the engine was underpowered.

Moreover, the engine material is not up to standard and is prone to oil and air leakage.

The car body shakes a bit when driving.

The gearbox is not good either. The gear shifting is very stiff, there is no synchronizer, and the car has no power booster. There are also inherent flaws in the design.

He Yuzhu, on the other hand, was in a bit of a tricky situation, as there were quite a few problems with almost all the other parts of the entire jeep from head to toe.

No wonder the production of Jeeps has been discontinued since this year.

Although he knew this, He Yuzhu still planned to purchase a batch of parts and assemble them, only if he had the ability to assemble them.

Only then will the superior leaders agree to let He Yuzhu continue with this matter.

The first thing He Yuzhu considered was to replace the engine. If it were someone else, there would be no way. He Yuzhu also stored the GAZ-100 sedan that he had put away in Moscow in his space.

The official name should be vodka, but it is generally called gas in China.

He Yuzhu drove a tricycle out for a spin and came back.

There were three more engines in the carriage.

They are the engine used in GAZ-100, the six-cylinder engine used in trucks, and the engine used in a tractor.

In fact, there are many engines in He Yuzhu's space. For example, there were many old engines when he bought scrapped cars and tanks before.

Although most of them were broken, a few intact engines were pieced together using the spare parts.

He Yuzhu has tried it before and it is still usable.

But there is no need to get all of them out this time.

Since we have samples of these three engines, we plan to imitate them and produce the engines ourselves first.

Only with the engine, the heart of the car, can we develop our own tractors and cars based on the engine, and even produce trucks, tanks, and large mechanical equipment.

"Where did you get these three engines?" Lu Xiaomi asked.

He Yuzhu said: "What's it to you? These are all good treasures."

"Hmph, who wants to control you?" Lu Xiaomi said angrily.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to make up stories and could just directly retort to Lu Xiaomi.

He Yuzhu gathered the technicians in the factory around the three engines and said:

"Our first step is to map the GAZ-1 engine, and then try to produce a replica. If the production goes well, we will then study these two engines."

"This is quite difficult!" Tong Zhi said as he walked around the engine twice.

He Yuzhu said: "There is no other way. I found that the engine of the 58-type jeep is not working."

"If we can produce this engine and install it, we will have the ability to produce jeeps."

He Yuzhu didn't want to directly produce the GAZ-100 sedan.

However, the production requirements for sedans are much higher than those for jeeps.

After all, a car should be comfortable and beautiful.

But it doesn’t matter for a jeep. As long as it can run and has enough power, there is no need to consider driving comfort at all.

"Okay, then let's disassemble the engine and map it to see what we can produce ourselves."

"Ok."

He Yuzhu was also not idle, and accompanied the surveying and mapping.

The machinery factory has the ability to produce single-cylinder diesel engines and can also produce most of the accessories, whether it is crankshafts, pistons, cylinder liners, connecting rods, valves, guide tubes and other parts, and has the corresponding production capacity.

However, the production of cylinder blocks and cylinder heads requires re-molding, and the crankshaft also needs to convert the one-cylinder parts into four-cylinder parts.

Good news soon came from Director Zhu, and most manufacturers were willing to provide him with parts.

He Yuzhu directly ordered fifty sets of parts, which consumed all the cash in the machinery factory's account.

"Is it too much to order so many?" Lv Xiaomi asked worriedly, "What if we fail to assemble them?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem with assembly, and these cars can be sold in due time."

Although there are various minor problems, this is almost a unique business, after all, the products produced in Shanghai are supplied to the whole country.

He Yuzhu has the assembly skills so even if he assembles it himself, there will be no problem of not being able to assemble it.

As long as these jeeps can run smoothly, these units will not refuse to purchase them.

"Okay, then let's purchase 50 sets first."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked, "Talk to them and see if we can use a hand tractor or tricycle to pay off the debt."

"Is this okay?"

"We can exchange goods for goods. As long as you agree, we can also exchange them for air conditioners, refrigerators, electric fans, etc."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away."

Take the walking tractor as an example. The price of a walking tractor in an agricultural machinery company is 3800 yuan.

He Yuzhu's factory price is 3200 yuan, but his actual cost is only about 2000 yuan.

If you want to replace it with another one, the price will of course be calculated based on 3200.

This way, we can sell the items and ensure that there is enough cash on the books.

He Yuzhu doesn't need to handle purchasing matters, as the machinery factory also has a dedicated purchasing department, so he can just hand over the matter to them.

When it was time to get off work, He Yuzhu drove his jeep back to the courtyard.

These days, He Yuzhu would come to pick up He Daqing and others for dinner every few days.

"Zhu Zi is back to pick up your father again?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile.

"Yeah, you're busy, I'll go in."

When He Yuzhu walked out of the hall, he saw Jia Zhang and Wen Yuping arguing.

Jia Zhang shouted, "You have so much food at home, what's wrong with giving us some?"
