Chapter 231 Not Accepting Capital
Team Leader Jiang and the others were leaving in the afternoon, and Luo Cheng asked someone in the cafeteria to kill a duck for them and boil some eggs for them to take with them on the road.
Then Luo Cheng also signed in at the research room. After refining the scope, the sign-in turned out to be different. The variable transducer did not have as many parts as the engine. The bearing diagram, drawings and gear data of the corresponding gear are directly displayed. It's a pity that we didn't get the assembly diagram with the variables, otherwise we could work backwards from the assembly diagram to estimate how many parts the transmission has in total.
In the morning, Luo Cheng drew the drawings with the door closed in his office. The drawings did not need to be of high standards, but the labeling requirements must be detailed. Luo Cheng's drawing skills have improved a lot since he used to draw drawings of engine components.
At noon, Team Leader Jiang and his team were entertained with smoke and wine. Xu Haitang was definitely in cahoots with the kitchen people. She had a close relationship with Team Leader Jiang and the others, so she also came to see them off, and even took Li Xiaotong along with her.
But Li Xiaotong was better than Xu Haitang. At least he brought some tangerine peel over for Team Leader Jiang and others to use in the car to prevent motion sickness. It is somewhat effective, but for people who suffer from severe motion sickness, it can at most be relieved. Xu Haitang, on the other hand, just opened his mouth to entertain the guests, and said a lot of polite words. After all, he was just eating and drinking, so who can't say nice things?
At the dining table, Luo Cheng showed the drawings he had made to Director Zhao, who was accompanying him. Director Zhao asked Luo Cheng to wait and called a few people to come and watch. Of course, they stopped by to have dinner, and Team Leader Jiang and other members who were going back to Tendo together also came over to look at the drawings.
Team leader Jiang didn't express his opinion, but he had worked in the No. 1 Automobile Factory for many years, and he knew at a glance that it couldn't be done without precision instrument lathes, so he just shook his head after looking at the drawings.
The technical masters called by Director Zhao are almost the same. The current machines are not as precise as the manual work of some superb masters. Several people analyzed that if the equipment is not imported, it can be made by hand, but it is difficult for one person to make a gear in a day, and a set of transmissions requires a dozen senior technicians to manually polish it.
Fortunately, the size of the gear is mostly related to the number of gaps, not the size. The smaller the gap of the gear, the more difficult it is to operate.
There are actually hand-operated parts on the engine side, such as some very fine holes, which are drilled by hand using machines and cannot be formed at once.
The gears designed by Luo Cheng are thicker than the existing transmission gears, and the current gear production is using imported equipment to produce variators, not to mention Luo Cheng's six-speed variator, which has even higher requirements. .
Either import the machine, or ask the transmission manufacturer in Amado to help process the required gears. This side is responsible for assembly, but the latter is obviously unrealistic, because the production there is not increased just because it wants to increase, and the increase also requires imported equipment. This is not as good as importing it yourself. At most, it is a matter of import channels and money.
As for channels, military industry companies and steel rolling mills can help apply. It's a matter of money. Imported equipment just costs hundreds of thousands to make gears. Of course, hundreds of thousands is the cost of several machines. At least you can guarantee the production of a thousand sets a month. If you only import one or two machines, if others don't sell them, the price will be higher.
The gear is just a component of the gearbox. To produce the variable speed variable device, other domestic machines are required to cooperate. However, the hundreds of thousands mentioned here are calculated based on domestic prices. To actually import a few machines, using foreign exchange, it is impossible to cost that much in this era.
But even so, the entire production line costs 500,000 yuan, which is not comparable to just a few sets of domestic machines. The car factory can't come up with this money at all, unless it counts next month's profits.
But when buying things overseas, it is not like the current domestic situation where the goods are delivered first and then settled at the end of the month. You have to pay first and then buy. This means that this month is not counted and next month's vehicle production can be sold to make money. And you can’t spend any more money on expansion during this period.
Director Zhang suggested that Luo Cheng take it easy. The drawings are still being designed, and the Chinese New Year is coming in more than a month. If we need to work on the transmission again, we might as well do it after the new year. The factory should have free funds by then. The cars sold this month will be enough to finance the purchase of engine production machinery. As for other profits, they are basically non-existent. The production of manual forklifts has to cover the cost of purchasing the forklift production machines. The amount of pallets processed is large but the profit is small. Currently, factory buildings, staff buildings, and canteens have been built but no money has been given. There are also new office buildings under construction. Even in today's meeting, Director Zhou mentioned getting a projector and so on. Don't look at the hundreds or thousands of things on the left, it's just like running water.
Luo Cheng is just doing it by the way, and he is leaving with money that a worker will never earn in his lifetime. Of course, you can make a lot of money just by doing it. At least the factory has a foundation for development, but at most it is a matter of thickness. The car factory was transformed into a repair shop, so that little foundation is not called foundation at all. According to Luo Cheng, there is no difference between doing this and having nothing.
However, if Luo Cheng insists on doing it right away, there is nothing he can do about it. Director Zhang has actually discussed something with Luo Cheng before, which is to let capitalists take shares in the automobile factory. There are many people who are optimistic about automobile factories now. It is allowed to use capital from capitalists to promote the country's industrial development. The steel rolling mill in Forty-Nine City is an obvious example. People invest funds only to distribute dividends and will not interfere with the development of the factory. In the working class era, capitalists will not be allowed to interfere.
This is not just the case in the Forty-Nine Cities, but also in many cities, but now there are also some people above who have opinions. In this era of planned economy, this investment really makes money. The investments are all state-owned enterprises, so it is impossible for Feilongqiface to lose money. You can plan your output to ensure sales no matter what you do. As long as you follow the planned volume, you will never suffer a loss.
Therefore, capitalists in this era are making a lot of money. If you invest more, you may get a smaller proportion of shares, but it is a steady profit.
Seeing Director Zhang mention this matter again, Luo Cheng shook his head. He is from a later generation, although he does not care about politics. But I understand it to some extent, not to mention that even if I don’t deliberately understand it, there are still TV series from many eras that I can watch.
What kind of class are the workers and peasants? They are the proletariat. Everything belongs to the state. The houses they live in and the land they farm are not their own. But the capitalists are different. Now that class rumors have arisen, status and background are all important.
Just like Zheng Xue, this means that her family's capital is small and her father has failed to live up to expectations. If you strive for success, you don't know whether it will be a disaster or a blessing. At a certain age, only anxious people would dare to marry someone with Zheng Xue's background, while others would avoid her.
Of course, now Zheng Xue is lucky and has met Luo Cheng. In addition, domestic residents have not yet implemented ID cards, and there is no Internet. It is still very simple to find a clear identity.
In fact, there is really no need to rush the transmission. The gears Luo Cheng requested can be produced by hand, so there is no problem in responding to emergencies. In addition, the motorcycle factory has already reached an agreement, and hundreds of sets of single-set variable speed converters will be sold to them every month. However, the single set of variable speed regulators are used at the automobile factory, so two sets are used as one set. When used on a three-wheeled truck, it is directly made into a double lever, one controls forward and the other controls reverse. A single lever and double clutch will increase the difficulty of driving, and the double lever of a three-wheeled truck is actually easier for people who are learning to drive.
By replacing the transmission used on three-wheelers with a single-set transmission, the three-speed transmission purchased next month can be freed up for installation on other vehicles.
Comparing the development of other factories, the automobile factory is already crazy. The motorcycle factory in Hongcheng has the foundation of a bicycle factory, and it took two years to produce a motorcycle. And the output is pitifully low, mainly because Luo Cheng's assembly line production method is not implemented.
The assemblers at the motorcycle factory all have one master and two people who assemble parts one by one. If the master doesn't do it, others won't do it. On Luo Cheng's side, newcomers only need to learn to assemble one component, so even if the automobile factory has various restrictions now, in terms of the number of vehicles, it is almost catching up with the motorcycle factory.
The motorcycle factory seems to be studying the production of tricycles, which have on-site reference materials, but it has been just like this for several months and has not yet started production.
After dinner, Luo Cheng asked Director Zhao to arrange for people to manually produce the gears based on the drawings he had drawn. But he also really admired people in this era. Such gears could be produced by hand, although the handwork was not purely done by hand, but also with the help of small tools. But the gaps and openings of the gears really need to be divided and cut out with a ruler and a carving knife. During production, if your hands are not steady, you may be ruined after working for a long time.
In the afternoon, Luo Cheng was not idle either, 'designing' the drawings of the van. When it comes to design, I really didn’t put much thought into it. When I was studying in a technical school, I came into contact with a lot of broken vans, and in later generations, the ones I came into contact with the most were cars and vans.
People in this era like practicality, so Luo Cheng planned to build a longer van from the beginning, which would be more convenient for transporting people and goods. As for the mixing of people and goods, you will be fined. Who would say in this era that such a thing would make you unable to take care of yourself.
Luo Cheng planned to use the new engine in the van, and the handmade six-speed transmission would also be installed in the van. If we get an eight-cylinder engine, turbocharger, exhaust pipe and various parts upgrades in the future, Akinayama Car God will be able to find out about it.
"Hey, that woman is Director Luo's cousin. She's so pretty. I've decided that I want to be Director Luo's cousin-in-law."
"Li Ergou, you are really wishful thinking. The factory director and I are cousins, or distant relatives. If I were the factory director, I would marry my cousin. Let's get closer."
"I heard that Factory Director Luo has a partner. I've seen it with old employees before. This is not the old society. No matter how beautiful your cousin is, you can't find a wife if you have a partner."
"That's it, isn't it? Everyone can think about this cousin-in-law."
"Actually, Director Luo's biological sister is pretty good too."
In the crowd after get off work, a young man suddenly changed the topic from Zheng Xue to Xiaoyu and the others. The people around the young man were suddenly stopped talking about it. You are so fucking fierce. Let’s just talk about your appearance. My dear, you dare to joke around. That is Director Luo’s biological sister, both of whom are named Luo. of.
Nima~, everyone is still just a temporary worker, looking forward to a better life in the future. No matter how brave you are, you can't just jump off the fifth floor, you have to land head first.
Let's break up. If this matter of scheming against Factory Director Luo's sister accidentally gets to the ears of the Factory Director, if Director Luo cares about it, everyone will be put out of business.
Luo Cheng left work early again and got two kilograms of water spinach out of the system. Now the variety of vegetables in the canteen has begun to decrease. There used to be spinach occasionally, but now I can't see it either.
Two pounds of water spinach, the leaves and stems can be fried as two vegetables. Luo Cheng threw the vegetables by the sink and waited for Xiaoyu and the others to come back. He would do the leaves today and the stems tomorrow.
When Xiaoyu and the others came back, there was one more person in the off-duty team, since Luo Cheng had called Zheng Xue his cousin. Calculating their ages, Xiaoyu and the others still have to call her cousin Zheng Xue. So I just called her sister. On the way, Zheng Xue, in order to show that she was useful, said that she knew how to cook, and she could do the cooking in the future.
When she returned to the yard, Zheng Xue was surprised to see the water spinach in the pool. This vegetable is only available in tropical cities during this season. And it requires specialized people to grow it, but specialized people rarely grow this vegetable. This may also happen in some big capitalists.
During this season, many vegetables are special dishes and will not appear in the market at all.
"Brother, it's time to eat. Today's dish was cooked by Sister Zheng. It's more delicious than Xiaoyu's."
Sister Zheng? Where did Sister Zheng come from? Suddenly Luo Cheng remembered the female beggar Zheng Xue he had taken in. In order to arrange a job for her, he told the factory that she belonged to his cousin. Shishi, a foodie, has won people's hearts so quickly.
Closing the book, Luo Cheng no longer cared about the story of one hundred and eight men and women living together in Liangshan. But I am watching the Three Kingdoms, and I am watching the plot of the sworn friendship with Jinlan.
When I came to the living room, I saw Zheng Xue. This girl is really pretty. Wearing work clothes, but seeing her face, you can feel the exquisite beauty. Come on, become sworn brothers to Jinlan, and then ask her to help give birth to a child to maintain the relationship between the brothers. The relationship between children and brothers is not solid.
Of course, Luo Cheng's astringent heart only drifted away for a moment. For someone who has a partner, Dai Qianqian's appearance is no worse than Zheng Xue. It's just that the style is different. It would be better if she was more delicate. Men like women who can bully and move.
There wasn't much food for dinner, but I have to say that Zheng Xue's food was indeed much better than Xiao Yu's. The taste may not be much different, after all, it's just a water spinach leaf, and there is no seasoning after adding some salt, but the cooking temperature determines the taste.
Chatting at the dinner table, Luo Cheng asked Zheng Xue, what other unique skills do you have. You wouldn't know if you didn't ask, but if you ask, she is actually a talented woman.
When I was a child, I went to a private school, where I knew how to be a prostitute, cook, and use an abacus to calculate accounts. He even knows a little bit about calligraphy and literature.
Talented woman, such a woman is a plus when she is in trouble. It's a pity that she was born in the wrong era. In this era, a capitalist's daughter like Zheng Xue will be miserable in a few years. It's not as good as a woman who can do housework and go to work to farm.
After the meal, Zheng Xue also actively did housework, which made Luo Cheng quite satisfied. But she had to take another bath tonight. Last night she secretly boiled water in the kitchen to wipe herself. Although it wasn't dirty anymore, it wasn't very clean after washing. Plus, after washing it, I put on those smelly rags, so I was still dirty again.
Xiaoyu has some old clothes for Zheng Xue to wear, and Luo Cheng also has cotton and cloth tickets, so he can also buy some clothes for her. Anyway, it was agreed that Zheng Xue's salary would have to be given to him from now on, which can be considered as the wool comes from the sheep.
These days, people in the south like to go to bathhouses, unlike those in the north. There are also bathhouses in the south, but southerners like to get a big wooden bucket at home, fill it with hot water, and just put it in a corner to hide in and wash. When the weather is hot, men are more direct. In the city, they just wear their underpants and wash them with cold water in a place that is not private. The same is true in rural areas. If there is a river, just go to the river to take a bath.
There is a shed made of baffles next to the kitchen in the yard. Luo Cheng built it himself with the wood he bought after Bingzi and the others moved here. It is convenient for family members to take a bath, but because the building is not very airtight, even if it is cold, even if you take a bath inside, there will be no wind but it will still be cold. If you take a shower quickly, the water will get cold as well.
"Sister Zheng, you are so fair. It's so big here and it's easy to live in our countryside."
The kitchen was originally connected to the main house, and the bathing shed was next to the kitchen. Shishi helped people get water for a bath, and she was also very happy. Luo Chengdu heard what he was doing. What's wrong with this is not a big deal. You should explain the key points clearly.
Liu Bei paid three visits to the bathing shed~~ No, he paid three visits to the thatched cottage. Damn it, I almost got distracted while watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Those who don't talk about the important points will marry Shishi sooner or later.
