Chapter 151 Everything Will Be Convenient After Setting up a Factory
The accountant from the auto repair shop went home, and the egg that the farmer gave him that was probably undercooked was put home. Luo Cheng did the same. He went back home and brought home a large goose that had worms on its body and needed to be stripped of its hair and a few goose eggs.
When Luo Cheng was planning to go to the repair shop again, his father Luo Wen also wanted to see what was going on and if he was going back tomorrow, when would he leave?
When the three of them returned to the repair shop, the tractor had not returned yet, and the car had to drive nearly half an hour. How could Luo Baotian and the others come back so quickly. When Luo Cheng came back, they were still pretending. So it will take at least half an hour to wait for them to come back.
So Luo Cheng asked his father Luo Bing to wander around the repair shop or wait for the captain and others at the gate. He himself planned to go find Factory Director Zhang first.
Luo Cheng talked about building a forklift, but in fact he was not particularly clear about the structure of a forklift. Building a cube car is actually not difficult for Luo Cheng. If you understand many things, it will not be difficult. If you don't understand, even if it is really not difficult, you will still find it difficult.
But one thing is that in later generations, anyone who repairs cars will basically install a hydraulic lift. The fixing method is the same as the home improvement crane, just fix one side up and down, and then install a few tracks according to the size and spacing of the cars.
So if you know how to install a hydraulic lifting platform, you will understand the lifting frame of a hydraulic forklift. Nowadays, cars do not use hydraulic power steering pumps. Forklifts, which are even more imitated than cars, may be like manually turning the steering wheel of a car. They directly rely on the power of the engine and the rotation of the gear to complete the lifting and lowering.
Without a hydraulic booster pump, the forklift itself will consume a lot of engine power just to lift it up and down, and the remaining power is just the power to lift the goods. Moreover, it would be very difficult to use pure engine power to lift goods.
It's like you can take a small cart and pull hundreds of things, no problem. But if you are asked to carry hundreds of pounds, even if it cannot crush you to death, you will not be able to move if it is pressed on you.
But now Luo Cheng is engaged in forklifts, or hydraulic forklifts, and faces many problems. Building a car is about assembling, and Luo Cheng is mostly changing the shape. When building a forklift, he only uses the lifting principle, or applies the principle of the lifting platform. For Luo Cheng, like those engineers, it is really about research and development and innovation.
But the only strong point is that engineers are currently trying to cross the river by feeling the stones when developing things, with no direction or road. Luo Cheng had at least been exposed to it and understood the principles. It was equivalent to walking on the bridge while others were crossing the river.
Luo Cheng went to Factory Director Zhang and asked if he could get some accessories to study if he wanted to build a forklift.
Director Zhang said he was helpless. If you want to study where the forklift parts come from, you will have to buy a forklift unless you have the ability. But don’t even think about it. There is currently a serious shortage of forklifts in China, and you can’t even see them in local companies. You can get it if you want to do research.
If Luo Cheng wants to build a forklift, it will only happen if the cube truck factory has scale and its own R&D capabilities. If you want to buy a forklift at that time, maybe the higher-level department will actually consider getting one for you.
And what does it mean to have your own R&D capabilities? At least you can’t rely on other factories to cooperate with you for everything. For example, in an automobile factory, do you know how many departments there are? If parts are not outsourced, there may be one department that produces wheels, another department that produces screws, and another department that produces valve cores, which are specifically used in automobiles. Gears, etc.
If you are engaged in research and development, if you want to design a gear of the same size, you have to go to a machinery factory for help. If the machinery factory does not have the size you need, you still have to customize it, which is a waste for you in research and development. Therefore, the larger the factory, the stronger the R&D capabilities, because when your own production of just one accessory is enough to set up a factory, you can set up an internal department.
This is why many engineers only work in large factories. There are almost no seventh-level automotive engineers like Luo Cheng scattered outside.
"Director Zhang, then you can transfer one of the engines in the warehouse to me. I'll do a small experiment first."
"Why do you need an engine? Forget it, I won't ask. Just don't damage it. If you use it, just report it to the logistics department. Team Leader Luo, what do you want to do? In fact, there is no need to worry at all. The Traffic Management Bureau actually I have already called. Reporters from the provincial newspaper and other provinces may arrive tomorrow. The road test site has been found. Director Wang said that the road test will be in the next day or two. After the test, the production of the cube truck will be established. Factory, if you want to research and develop anything, it will be a hundred times easier than it is now."
"Can we do the road test in these two days?"
"Yes, that's what I wanted to tell you. As soon as you came here, you told me about the forklift. I almost forgot."
If Luo Cheng wants something now, if the auto repair shop doesn't have it, he has to call the No. 1 Automobile Factory to declare it. Then we go through that place to adjust the goods, which is very troublesome, which means that there is great support there. But if Luo Cheng wants to do something in the future, the First Automobile Factory will not support it.
Therefore, if Luo Cheng wants to build anything in the future, he can wait until the cube car production factory is established and buy it directly in the name of the manufacturer. Moreover, with the booster pump and shock absorber developed by Luo Cheng, he can set up his own parts production department. , customize some small processing equipment in the machinery factory, and then recruit operators, fitters, forgers, and welders. It will not be easy to develop anything at that time.
Director Zhang's words really made Luo Cheng suddenly realize that the amount of rice bran and soybean meal provided by the grain factory is enough for them to use for more than a year. If they want to buy a forklift or something to sell, they are not in a hurry. They can just get a lift in the repair shop to practice their skills first.
"Team Leader Luo, you got something at the breeding farm today."
"What, what are you talking about? It's confusing and I can't understand it. I'll go downstairs to see if the captain and the others are back."
We were having a good chat that day, but Director Zhang suddenly mentioned the breeding farm in one sentence. He really doesn’t know how to chat, so he chatted to death with just one sentence. Do you understand?
Seeing Luo Cheng leave the office with a nonchalant look on his face, Director Zhang smiled. Others didn't dare to say that he knew Director Huang of the breeding farm and he knew how to be a good person.
Luo Cheng went downstairs and saw Luo Baotian and others standing by the tractor talking. His father Luo Wen was also among them.
It's already past four o'clock, and the sky has started to get dark. We definitely can't go back. The road is not easy to walk. If we don't see clearly and the car flips over, the loss will be great. And even if there is no problem on the road, we will return to Longyang. I can't see anything clearly. How can I unload these things?
Luo Baotian could just put the things he wanted in the repair shop and find a room for them to stay.
When his father Luo Wen saw Luo Cheng coming down, he immediately stepped forward and told Luo Cheng about the situation. They would have to go back early tomorrow, but they didn't need to go back as early as when they came to the city this morning.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Director Zhang and see if I can find a room for you."
Hearing his father's words, Luo Cheng nodded. He had just slipped away from the factory director and was about to go back again.
Ten minutes later, Luo Cheng came down again, and Luo Baotian and the others took it for granted. Director Zhang said that there is no problem in arranging a room, and a canteen is fine, but this is not a problem in arranging a room at all. The Security Department is responsible for inspections, and they will not be allowed to stay in the factory at night. Director Zhang is not willing to break discipline for them. He arranges rooms for this matter simply, but allows them to stay in the factory for one night, unless someone from the Security Department People agree.
But the people who came were besides Luo Cheng’s father and the others, the four captains, an accountant, a cashier, Luo Baotian and the person who drove the tractor. There were nine people in total. The tractor and other things would be fine if they were left in the factory, and the people from the security department would take care of them. With. But if so many people don't stay in the same room, it will be very cold at night.
Luo Cheng had no choice but to take Luo Baotian to the security office to ask about the situation and whether he could be accommodating. But this matter may indeed put Captain Zhang in trouble. Even if they knew that Luo Cheng came to guarantee that there would be no theft or anything like that, this was a violation of regulations for them. Since there is this regulation, if one person comes to vouch for it, then why not directly stipulate that outsiders need a guarantor to stay in the factory. And once this talk is made, everything like this will be done in this way in the future. Once something goes wrong, can their security department really have no responsibility?
Seeing the embarrassment on Captain Zhang's face, Luo Cheng understood that it meant that the relationship did not require direct harsh words. If you keep pushing, you won’t know how to be a human being.
Luo Cheng had no choice but to take Captain Luo back to where the tractor was parked to discuss what to do.
The team leader Luo Baotian said that he could just go to the corner outside the factory and catch the cat overnight. When he came, in order to prevent it from raining, he also brought some straw in the car to block the wind.
But Luo Cheng knew that that little straw was of no use. This meant that Ngee Ann City was a southern city, and in the north, it was time to try staying out for a night.
Come on, Luo Cheng discussed with his father and let his sister-in-law sleep with his two sisters at night. They should all stay in the left room of the house for the night. At least there is a stool and table at home, so I can sit and sleep on the table. At night, I can bring the coal stove to the room and burn some coal without getting too cold.
When his father Luo Wen heard this, he naturally had no objection. It was not a big deal for them, a group of old men, to squeeze into one room, and they were also allowed to see the house where their son lived in the city.
