Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Limited by the limitation of current engine technology, domestic dump trucks are mainly light and miniature, that is, the total weight of the vehicle does not exceed 6 tons, and the load capacity is often not more than the weight of its own vehicle.

Yuan Xia has built dump trucks and knows the gap between domestic dump trucks and European and American trucks, so he paid special attention to absorbing the strengths of European and American trucks during the design process, for example, the chassis design is closer to European and American trucks, and considering the use of dump trucks The road conditions are generally bad, and the design of the tires has also been strengthened, all for the purpose of making the car more flexible, strong and durable.

The samples have come out, and the next step is to build the production line.

Yuan Xia is already familiar with building a production line, and it doesn't look obtrusive in the eyes of others, because he has built a sewing machine production line before.

In fact, the automobile production line is completely different from the sewing machine production line, but outsiders can't see the difference. A smart person like Yuan Xia naturally knows everything.

Although the materials and parts of the car are processed by machinery and equipment, in fact, car production still requires a lot of labor.

From the completion of the new factory, Yuan Xia began to recruit a large number of workers. In addition to skilled workers, he also recruited a large number of novices.

Experienced skilled workers are indispensable, but the starting salary is also high.

Inexperienced workers need to be trained. They can start with less technical positions and then train slowly. The wage cost is also low.

As a boss, it is natural to consider production costs.

Although the business of the factory is as usual, and the sales of sewing machines and screws are considered stable, the money earned cannot support the production of dump trucks.

The money from selling technology has been used to buy land, build factories and purchase production equipment, and now the company has no money on its books.The most urgent task is to sell products and return funds.

The purchase of raw materials and components still requires a lot of money, and Yuan Xia intends to borrow 1000 million from the bank as a mortgage.

According to the current property valuation of Xingyuan Machinery, 1000 million can be borrowed completely.

However, today's banks are still more conservative than later, because Xingyuan Machinery is the first private enterprise in this city with a loan amount exceeding 500 million. loan.

Yuan Xia is very helpless, he thinks 1000 million is too little, how many cars can be built for 500 million?However, no matter how few mosquito legs are, they are still meat, so let's use them first.

Yuan Xia is not worried about the sales of dump trucks at all. As far as he knows, a large number of cities have already embarked on the reconstruction of old urban areas. At that time, a large number of houses will be demolished and countless new houses will be rebuilt. The supply of dump trucks will only exceed the demand.

Yuan Xia had no choice but to call Si Haibo again to borrow money.

Last year, Si Haibo followed Yuan Xia's advice, did not blindly increase production, and escaped the plight of a backlog of goods.

This year, factories in various industries in Wenzhou were rectified because of counterfeit and shoddy products. Si Haibo watched all this with peace of mind and praised himself for being smart.Of course, he also knows that the reason why he can be so relaxed is also inseparable from Yuan Xia's suggestion, making a good friend is really beneficial for life.

So when Yuan Xia asked him to borrow money, Si Haibo agreed without hesitation: "No problem, how much do you need?"

Yuan Xia said, "As many as you want."

Si Haibo was startled: "What are you going to do? You need so much money."

"I want to produce dump trucks, but I don't have enough money. Do you have foreign exchange in your account? It's best to help me buy hydraulic pumps directly from Japan." Yuan Xia knew that he had foreign exchange, because all the payments at his factory were in US dollars, and his foreign exchange quota It has been used up almost this year, and we have to find a way to import hydraulic pumps from other places.

Si Haibo didn't react immediately: "What car?"

Yuan Xia explained: "Cargo trucks, which can unload by themselves, are used on construction sites."

"Oh, I see. You've started producing cars now? When did you start?" Si Haibo was very surprised.

Yuan Xia briefly explained, and said, "How much can you lend me?"

Si Haibo said: "You need US dollars, but my company still has hundreds of thousands of dollars in its account."

Yuan Xia said: "Then help me buy a hydraulic pump."

The most critical components of the dump truck, the engine and the hydraulic pump, have to be imported. The domestic products are either of poor quality or just started, which is totally useless.

Yuan Xia also knows that it will take a long time to fully realize domestic autonomy. He has plans to develop hydraulic pumps by himself. The Chinese market is so huge that it cannot be harvested by foreign countries.

He knew it would be very difficult and the investment would be considerable.But if you don't do it, you will be subject to others forever.Of course, the key is to have money before you can invest in research and development, so you have to hurry up to build a car.

The first batch of dump trucks is planned to produce 500 units, Yu Xingyi is a little worried: "Will there be too many?"

Yuan Xia is full of confidence: "Don't be afraid, it will definitely be sold. Qidong District will be rebuilt next year, and a large number of dump trucks will definitely be needed at that time. Leave the market to me, and I will take care of it."

Yu Xing could only nod his head, he only knew how to develop machines, and he had no eyes for the market, so he could only trust Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia looked at the bustling and busy scene in the workshop with great anticipation, while searching his address book, hoping to dig some people from those former friends to use. The factory wanted to develop various new products, relying solely on Yu Xingyi and Zheng Zheng It is not enough to bring a few graduate students and college students.

He wrote letters to his roommates and friends from the Science and Technology Society, jokingly saying that he is now desperate for talent, and if he wants to realize his dream of machinery and change to a high-paying job, welcome to Xingyuan Machinery.

But his friends and classmates are all well within the system, and no one wants to go to sea.

Yuan Xia thought to himself, it will be fine in two years. After Deng Gong's speech on the southern tour, he affirmed and insisted on the development path of reform and opening up. At that time, a large number of insiders in the system will take the initiative to go to sea, and it should be easier to recruit people by then.Now the economy is still in recession, the road ahead is foggy, and everyone is still waiting and watching.

That day Yuan Xia saw a letter on the desk, it was from Yunnan, and he knew it was from Xiao Yunsheng at a glance.

For so many years, Yuan Xia has kept in touch with his old friends. Some people only reply to him once every two to three months or half a year, but Xiao Yunsheng insists on communicating with him every month.

Yuan Xia didn't read the letter right away, but dealt with work first, and when he got off work, he put Xiao Yunsheng's letter in his briefcase and took it home to read.

After the dump truck was put into production, Yuan Xia and Yu Xingyi's work and rest became normal, and they were able to get off work normally every day.

Yuan Xia drove to the bookstore first. He drove a Suzuki van that had been sold for several thousand dollars. When he got it, everything sounded except the horn, barely four wheels Can turn.

However, Yuan Xia couldn't be bothered, he spent some time to make a major modification to the car, and now it is a different car than when he got it.In Yu Xingyi's words, those thousands of dollars were for its engine.

This car is very suitable for transportation. It can avoid rain, snow, wind and cold in winter, and can cover the sun in summer. The key is to save time. The time he and Yu Xingyi have is precious.

After Yuan Xia arrived at the bookstore, he took over the job of cooking from his grandfather.The two younger ones haven't finished school yet, Yuan Xia came back early, his own factory, the off-duty time is not so strict, and he doesn't have to leave until the hour.

After the meal was ready, the two little ones came back.

Chongyang is a senior in high school this year, and he is already a 1m boy. The corners of his mouth have begun to grow fluff, but he hasn't started shaving yet.

Mulati has also grown taller. At the age of 13, he is almost 1 meters.He used to drink milk as water when he was in his hometown. After coming to Yuecheng, Yuan Xia did not wean him from the milk. The family ordered three servings of fresh milk. The grandfather and the two younger ones drank both. Need calcium and protein.

After drinking so much milk, I finally saw results at the moment.

When Mulati first came, his Mandarin still had the smell of mutton skewers, but now he speaks it very standard, with no accent.

Mulati's appearance originally combined the advantages of his parents, but now he has grown up, and he is a handsome young man with profound features.

According to Chongyang, he also received a love letter from a little girl.But Mulati ignored them, saying that he should study hard and go back to build his hometown in the future.The child's grades are not bad, and he can rank in the top of the class.

As soon as they entered the house, they couldn't wait to ask: "Grandpa (grandpa), how many medals did you get today?"

At the time when the Beijing Asian Games was held, this was the first time that such a grand event was held in front of our own house, and the hearts of the people all over the country were tied to it.

Speaking of it, the Asian Games almost couldn’t go on because the country was too poor. In the end, people all over the country tightened their belts and donated money one after another. Yuan Xia also donated 20. Everyone worked together to hold the Games stand up.

It was also this Asian Games that united the Chinese people again and aroused everyone's strong patriotic feelings.

Yuan Dehou said: "I took three yuan. There will be a women's table tennis team final tonight, and the Chinese team will play against the South Korean team."

"Then we must win." Chongyang said.

Yu Xingyi came in from the outside: "Are you talking about the women's table tennis team competition? That's hard to say, the Korean team has a world champion."

Yuan Xia said: "Don't worry, the Chinese team will definitely win. Let's eat."

In this competition, the 17-year-old Deng Yaping became famous in the first battle, and people all over the country remembered the little girl with a small ponytail and jumping.

After dinner, Chongyang went to self-study in the evening.Yuan Dehou and Mulati sat in front of the TV and watched the game. There were also some college students watching the game. They knew that they could watch the game here, so they came here early to watch.

Yuan Xia said: "Grandpa, I still have a letter to answer, so let's go there first. Mulati will go to bed early after watching the game, and he has class tomorrow."

"Yes, I see." Mulati agreed with all his heart.

As soon as Yuan Xia and Yu Xing came out, before getting into the car, Yu Xing asked Yuan Xia for the car keys, and he drove.

Not long after Yu Xingyi learned to drive, the novice was addicted to driving, so Yuan Xia happily let him drive.

He himself sat in the co-pilot, opened Xiao Yunsheng's letter, read it and exclaimed excitedly: "My God, my God! OK, Xiao Yunsheng said he would come to our factory! Haha, that's great! "

Yu Xing was excited one by one, stepped on the brake all of a sudden, and turned off the engine: "What? Xiao Yunsheng is coming to our factory. I remember he went to the military factory?"

"That's right. Didn't the country cut its troops in the past two years? Their factory also changed from military to civilian, but the business is not very good, and it seems that they can't even pay wages." Yuan Xia couldn't help but sigh, the country has been really difficult these few years , Millions of disarmament, the annual military budget can't even keep up with Japan, many military factories have to switch to civilian use in order to survive.Some have developed quite well, but some have been completely annihilated in the torrent of history.

But no matter what, it was a good thing for them that Xiao Yunsheng was willing to travel far.
