Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

The senior leader said: "All enterprises that can participate in the Canton Fair are state-owned enterprises. The nature of the machinery factory is a collective enterprise, so it is not eligible to participate."

"But we are not private, are we?"

"Then forget it. Even some municipal and provincial enterprises have to undergo an examination and get special approval before they can participate. What's more, you are just a collective enterprise on a street?"

Now He Yuzhu understood.

Regardless of the size of the machinery factory owned by the street, it is inherently a collective enterprise.

Its status is obviously different from that of large state-owned enterprises.

If this were the 80s, He Yuzhu might have tried to seize the opportunity.

But it was still 59, and He Yuzhu worked in a street factory, so there was no room for negotiation.

To put it another way, even if we did not participate in the Canton Fair, the machinery factory's production tasks would be full.

These products can be sold immediately after they are produced, without any inventory backlog. If there are too many orders, production will not be possible.

He Yuzhu asked: "But why is our leadership team being investigated?"

The big boss said: "Although you are not qualified to participate, you are qualified to produce."

He Yuzhu immediately understood that this was using the machinery factory as a production base and then conducting OEM production for other factories.

After he expressed this idea, the leader nodded.

"Well, although we can't participate, our production capacity is leading in the country."

You have to know that household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines only entered ordinary households in the 80s, and the use of air conditioners had to be pushed back many years later.

However, under the leadership of He Yuzhu, their machine factory had already successfully produced it in 59.

This production capacity is indeed leading in the country.

The senior leader explained that if sales at the Canton Fair are high, a portion of the orders will be given to the machinery factory for production.

Therefore, there is no need for the leaders of the machinery factory to go to Guangzhou in person to participate in the Canton Fair. At that time, they just need to ensure production.

For safety reasons, we will review the leadership team of the machinery factory in advance today.

Make sure there are no issues with their identities and that they will not sabotage the production process.

He Yuzhu finally realized that after all the trouble his factory had, it only had the qualification to produce and process on a contract basis. He thought he could just go to the Canton Fair.

At the end, the leader smiled and asked, "Do you really want to go to the South?"

"Of course I did. I've only just reached Gusu City in the south, which means I've just reached Jiangnan."

The big boss said: "You are too promiscuous, you have too many feudal ideas, and you have too many women."

He Yuzhu smiled embarrassedly: "No one is perfect. It's also because I have practiced martial arts for many years and I have too much energy."

I reluctantly found an excuse for my lust.

The senior leader said: "If you were one of our cadres, we would have sent you to prison long ago. Since you are just an ordinary person, we would have turned a blind eye to you."

Just being lustful is almost never a reason to take someone down.

Many times it is difficult to announce the charges, so the emphasis is placed on the fact that the person was taken away simply because of lust.

He Yuzhu didn't want to go any further in his position, and it was enough for him to maintain the title of deputy factory director.

Even if you remove yourself, your life can still be more fulfilling.

"Thank you, great leader."

The big boss said, "Let's not talk about your private life. As for you, it's just like this anyway."

Then ask: "Do you really want to go to the South?"

"Of course I want to go. How can our unit give us special approval?"

"Didn't I just say that you are a production and processing base? Of course, you can't go to the machinery factory."

He Yuzhu asked with some surprise: "Then can I go?"

The big boss nodded, then said, "However, if I want to change your identity, are you really good at martial arts?"

He Yuzhu nodded vigorously: "Of course, you have also read my information. I can rescue people from a prison. How can I not be amazing?"

Of course the big boss saw it and just asked this question, then said: "You can go with me as my personal guard, and you have to help with the cooking. I can't get used to the southern food."

He Yuzhu said happily: "Okay, anything is fine as long as you can take me there."

Senior leaders would attend the Canton Fair in spring and autumn. After all, the current domestic industrial products are mainly various machinery, which are within his scope of responsibility.

Even during the great storm of 66, the top leader fled to the south and escaped the disaster.

The big boss said: "Since you are willing, then just wait patiently. When autumn comes, I will take you with me."

When He Yuzhu came out of the big leader's house, he felt much more relaxed. It was also a great event to be able to participate in the Canton Fair.

Even though it's just one person participating, it's still a good thing.

After returning, I felt much more at ease and began to continue studying the production of engines.

He had a lot of experience in this area. Although the four-cylinder engine was much more complicated than the single-cylinder diesel engine, it was not unexpected for He Yuzhu. This was also within his ability to handle.

Each component, a production problem that others could not solve, was easily designed by him. After trial production, the product quality could reach above the acceptable level.

After more than half a month of research, the cylinder head was finally successfully completed and could be produced.

He Yuzhu personally assembled the first 1-cylinder in-line water-cooled engine, then fixed it on the test bench, added oil and water, and started it.

A puff of black smoke came out of the chimney and within a minute it turned into a light blue smoke.

It ran at idling speed for more than an hour without any faults. Then it was stopped, all parts were removed and inspected.

After assembly, it was run on the test bench for 10 hours, 48 ​​hours, and 100 hours.

Every certain period of time, check to confirm the degree of wear.

Only when the running time reached 500 hours did He Yuzhu install the engine on the jeep.

The imitation engine was named Limin 100 by He Yuzhu. The engine's power is twice that of the M20 engine produced by Jinling Engine Factory.

Putting it on a Jeep also greatly improves the vehicle's performance, both in terms of power and passing ability.

Director Shen said: "It seems that this change is still feasible."

"Yes, the two months of hard work have paid off. We have finally produced our own engine, which means we have the ability to produce jeeps."

This year, news came from Shanghai that the production of the Type 58 Jeep has been suspended. The reason for the suspension is that the engine did not meet the standards and the car had too many overall problems.

After much discussion, it was finally decided to cancel this project.

He Yuzhu quietly completed the production of the imitation engine, which was a big step forward.

There is no intellectual property right at that time, and after getting the other party's engine, you can just copy and produce it.

The most obvious example is the most famous 130 truck in later generations, which can be produced by dozens of automobile companies across the country.

What about Yuejin 130, Modu 130, and Jingcheng 130? Except for the different brands, the entire vehicle structure is exactly the same, whether in appearance or engine.

Whether or not it can be produced depends on one's own ability.

Director Zhu attaches great importance to the production of engines and calls to inquire about it almost every day.

When he learned from He Yuzhu that 500 hours of verification had been completed, he could no longer sit still.

He asked He Yuzhu to wait and said, "I'll be there soon." He Yuzhu then took Lu Xiaomi to the office to discuss work for a while, and then went to pick her up.

Director Zhu didn't waste any words and said directly: "Take me to see the engine."

He Yuzhu brought him to a shed where there was a large rack fixed on the ground, and three engines were fixed on it, making a roaring sound.

何雨柱介绍说：“1号发动机已经平稳运行了600多小时，2号发动机不到400个小时，3号发动机只有80个小时左右。”

Director Zhu asked: "Has it been overhauled in the middle?"

"Of course not, there are just some minor design issues that have been repaired several times without removing the cylinder head."

Director Zhu nodded: "So there is no problem with the engine."

After looking at the three test engines, He Yuzhu invited him to the test site.

"The engine installed in the jeep is also running normally."

"Stop, I'll go up and try."

Of course He Yuzhu had to obey Director Zhu's words directly. He asked the test driver to stop the jeep, and then Director Zhu sat directly in the driver's seat, and He Yuzhu quickly got into the passenger seat.

Director Zhu started the jeep, circled the test site twice and then drove out of the machinery factory.

Then he said, "By the way, I have to go to the steel mill for something. Let's go together."

"Ok."

The cars had already been driven out, and He Yuzhu had no reason to refuse. On the way, Director Zhu asked about the assembly of the 30 cars.

A total of 50 sets of vehicle parts were purchased previously, of which only 20 sets were engines, and the remaining 30 sets will be the Limin 100 engines produced by ourselves.

He Yuzhu said: "Ten vehicles have been assembled, and now they are being assembled at a rate of one vehicle per day."

Although this speed may sound slow, only 498 cars were produced in Shanghai last year.

Moreover, the demand is not that great now. After all, without a certain level, one cannot be equipped with a car, and individuals are not qualified to purchase it. Only units can have it.

If too much is produced, it is also inappropriate.

What's more, it is now trial production and it will take time to confirm the performance and life of the engine.

He Yuzhu continued: "After assembling these 30 vehicles, we will use the parts we produced ourselves. Of course, we will not modify all of them at once, but replace them gradually."

After the parts are produced, they must of course be inspected, but the specific replacement process must be carried out slowly and not rushed.

“We need to take things slow.”

Director Zhu said: "However, I will take away all the ten cars that have been produced."

There was no problem with this, and He Yuzhu agreed immediately.

Now the machinery factory is a production base, and Director Zhu can take full charge of the sales, so He Yuzhu doesn't need to worry about it at all.

This was a drawback in those days. At that time, it was a planned economy and factories did not have sales departments. Most factories only had purchasing departments.

They soon drove to the steel mill and were invited into the office of Director Yang.

Director Yang was very surprised to see He Yuzhu coming with Director Zhu.

Director Zhu said, "Don't worry about him. I'm here to see the production of spring steel sheets."

Director Yang asked first: "He Yuzhu, are you interested in our spring steel plate workshop? I told you that you wanted to go to the auto repair shop last time, but you must never go after our factory again."

“Even if we bring the case to the top leaders, they can’t give us our workshop. We won’t give it to you no matter what you say.”

After hearing this, He Yuzhu said, "I really didn't mean that."

Spring steel sheet is a very important component in automobiles, especially trucks, which is indispensable.

Spring steel plate, a flat rectangular steel plate with a curved shape, is made up of several pieces of spring steel plate for chassis. One end is installed on the hanger with a pin, and the other end is connected to the beam with a lug, so that the spring steel plate can be extended and retracted. Currently, it is suitable for off-road vehicles and medium and large trucks.

Director Yang thought that He Yuzhu had taken a fancy to the spring steel plate workshop again and wanted to take it away directly.

Director Zhu just shook his head and smiled, saying, "It's really not this time. I just went to the machinery factory to check the Limin 100 engine they produced, and then brought He Yuzhu to talk to you about the problem of spring steel plate production."

Director Yang was still a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions and took the two of them to the spring steel plate production workshop.

The first Jiefang brand truck in China is now being produced in Chuncheng, and the steel rolling mill provides them with spring steel plates.

He Yuzhu also wants to produce jeeps, and there is also a demand for spring steel plates.

After visiting the spring steel plate workshop, the three people came to the office, where Director Zhu listened to the report on spring steel plate production and discussed the technical issues involved.

The research institute is also needed to optimize the production process.

Then we talked about having the steel mill produce jeep spring steel plates.

At this point, Director Yang finally felt relieved, as he was glad that no one was coming to rob his workshop today.

After talking about spring steel plates, we talked about the production of automobile chassis and some large components on the front and rear axles, which all need to be produced by steel rolling mills.

It’s not that there are no factories in other places that can produce, but the distance is too far and transportation is a big problem.

If it is a small batch of dozens of items, you can purchase them from other places, but over time it is better to try to produce them locally, which will save a lot of transportation capacity.

Director Yang asked, "Did your jeep modification project really succeed?"

He Yuzhu said: "Of course, the new jeep is downstairs."

"Let's go, I want to see it with my own eyes."

Before this matter was mentioned, Director Yang went downstairs, opened the front hood, and saw at a glance that there was a brand new engine inside.

The steel rolling mill also has two Type 58 jeeps, but they have too many minor problems and often break down on the road.

Director Yang certainly knew the original M20 engine.

The engine in front of me is obviously one size larger.

He Yuzhu said: "This is a copy of the engine on the GAZ-100 sedan. It now looks much better than the original M20 engine."

Director Yang nodded and said, "If possible, we will purchase five new jeeps."
