Chapter 244 Compressor

It is said that a tiger father has no dog sons, which means that if a capable father has a capable son, his son will not be too bad.

In fact, this is normal. If you start high, your end may be someone else’s starting point.

Du Yongkang, a man with a dark complexion, was a few years older than Luo Cheng. Today he came to the automobile factory to report, but it was just an advance report. The things he was doing had to be handed over back to his original place of work, and it would take a few days before he officially came to work.

The other party was very talkative and did not hide his identity, but he was also capable. If you don't have the ability, even if you have connections from above, you won't be assigned to be the deputy mayor. Background is actually a double-edged sword. It can help you stand on a higher footing from the beginning, but it can also cover up your own abilities. Even if you do well, many people think that this comes from relationships.

In fact, in addition to the saying that a tiger father has no dog sons, there is also a saying that a wise son is better than a father. If the son is incompetent, even if he is arranged to enter the work unit, he may be arranged to enter a department with less work. Relying on seniority to slowly rise up, rather than a very delicate position like deputy mayor.

Du Yongkang is going to be the deputy director of the automobile manufacturing plant. The current public institutions and corporate units are not completely separated. After being promoted to the enterprise unit level, and then transferred to the local unit, the levels are interconnected.

Therefore, Du Yongkang's first report made a deep impression on Luo Cheng, and Luo Cheng did not dislike such a person. Du Yongkang is a relatively practical person and one who knows how to use his connections. He doesn't mind others saying that he relies on family connections. In his view, connections are also his own abilities. Don't ask about the means. As long as it doesn't break the law or discipline, he can do things that others can't do.

Because of the conversation with Du Yongkang, today's morning meeting at the automobile factory was postponed. After the talks were almost completed, Du Yongkang would not officially report until three days later. He would first go back to Changqing Town to hand over the work at hand.

The deputy director usually focuses on production when there is no need to consider sales during the planned production period. The factory director is responsible both internally and externally. But after talking to Du Yongkang, Luo Cheng felt that in future generations, Du Yongkang would actually be more suitable for the public relations department, and he could use his connections to establish relationships with various local units.

With people like Du Yongkang here, if it is the reform era twenty years later, it will be like inviting a Buddha in. But in this era, Du Yongkang is nothing. If his personal ability is not strong, it is not impossible for Luo Cheng to transfer him. So what if he has a good father, Luo Cheng still has a good partner. Dai Qianqian said in her letter that she will come to Ngee Ann after the new year, and the two of them will meet their parents after a while to settle the matter.

By then, Du Yongkang's parents would be nothing in Luo Cheng's eyes. Not to mention Dai Tiande, even Dai Qianqian's parents were better than them.

Of course, Luo Cheng doesn't want to fight with Du Yongkang, and the conversation is okay now. But after joining the company, if you don't work properly, if you are a two-faced person, you will have to get rid of him even if you are "father". Luo Cheng didn't want his factory to turn into a palace.

After Du Yongkang left, today's meeting still had to be held. At the meeting, Luo Cheng also happened to talk about the appointment of a deputy director in the factory. He asked Director Zhang to find an office for him, but there was no other choice. The finance department moved to the first floor, and the vacant room became the deputy director's office.

Nowadays, we no longer pay attention to whether the location of the office and the distribution of departments are reasonable. New office buildings are being constructed all the time. Three-story buildings can be regarded as real office building types. The area is large and there are many office rooms. There will be a separate conference room and Luo Cheng's office will also have a small room for temporary rest.

It's just that if you want to move to a new office, you have to wait until next year. A three-story building is different from a single-story bungalow. The foundation and structural requirements are different. A workshop can be built in a week, but a building is impossible.

In addition, at the meeting, Luo Cheng mentioned Li Xiaotong, this little nurse who always had a face-grabbing presence at the meeting. She said that after the Cube Car 2.0 is produced, one or two ambulances will be converted into hospital ambulances, and the emergency nurses who follow them will be arranged by her. Let her go back to the previous hospital to find the medical director and learn some first aid knowledge. If she wants to get out of the car in the future, let her take someone with her. But in this case, even if the factory has not expanded to the point of a staff hospital, it will still be on call 24 hours a day, and it will have to recruit two more people for night shift.

Li Xiaotong was very happy to have things that she needed to take charge of. At least she would not have to go back to her previous internship situation and have to follow other people's arrangements because a doctor would come from the factory in a few days.

At the meeting, Director Zhang said that a workshop has been modified in accordance with the requirements of the granary. A moisture-proof layer has been added to the floor, and anti-seam boards have been installed on the door of the workshop to prevent some animals from slipping in. Moreover, the requirements for the granary of the automobile factory are different from those of the grain station. The grain contained in the grain station is rice with husks, which will be processed into a certain amount of rice according to the demand. The price in the shell is less than 16 cents.

What Luo Cheng wanted was processed rice, and the money was calculated based on the price of rice. At that time, the grain will also be packed in bags. One sack can hold 200 kilograms of rice, and one ton of rice only contains ten bags. Eighty tons of rice actually sounds like a lot, but it is only 800 bags, and a dozen porters can easily load and unload it in one day. People in this era don't have enough food and clothing, but I don't know where they get such strength.

Luo Cheng asked the logistics people to go to the grain station with the grain approval slips and ask them to pull them over when they were ready. Although this grain was pulled from the grain station in Nghe An, the grain station had spare grain, and it had to be handed over to the provincial grain station, and then the provincial grain station handed it over. But now that it has been allocated to the automobile factory, there is no need to hand it over here.

When the forklift truck is exported in exchange for various supplies and food, it will naturally be handed over here instead. Therefore, the exit of the forklift does not need to be at Tianhu exit, and the food is also obtained from there. Of course, it doesn't matter where Luo Cheng is exported, it's all a matter for the steel rolling mill.

The task of the factory now is to seize the time and try to produce forklifts as much as possible. There are 20 forklifts in Shijiucheng and unlimited demand in Amado. But this also strengthened Luo Cheng's idea of ​​producing a large truck. A forklift weighs about 2.6 tons, and the existing trucks can only pull two at a time.

This is only a forklift with a lift capacity of 2.0, and the current order requirements are for 0.5 to 5T. We need to diversify our products. When the time comes for heavier forklifts, each truck will only be able to pull one.

And if Luo Cheng builds heavy trucks, there will be a huge market demand for transportation equipment and vehicles alone.

So after the meeting, Luo Cheng continued to improve the drawings based on his memory, and then asked people to change the laboratory according to his own requirements, and changed it into a truck pneumatic brake structure design laboratory, and the key to this system is the drum brake . The brakes of large trucks are also terrible, relying on mechanical pressure braking, which is useless at high speeds.

Of course, the system sign-in system for large trucks is only used for this part. For other structural designs, the technology of this era is enough. The imitation truck in Jicheng has a load capacity of less than eight tons and only has a length of seventy yards. It is probably related to the brakes. Even if it is equipped with a good engine and transmission and the speed is faster, no one would dare to stop the car. Open it.

Luo Cheng's luck was particularly good this time. When he signed in for the first time, he actually got the overall structure diagram of the car's air brake. But at the same time, I am also a little confused. There are too many structures, and it even involves air compressors. This thing is not yet available in China. The main reason is that the demand for air compressors is not large, and it is dispensable in some places. The domestic industry has just started. Even if there is research and development, it will be used in places where the demand is greater.

Just like forklifts, I originally only wanted to build motorized forklifts, but instead produced pneumatic jacks and manual forklifts. Now we need to develop pneumatic brakes, which requires an air compressor. And if this air compressor is manufactured, it will be used in more places. Manual spray painting can be replaced by an air compressor, although it still requires people to operate it. But you don’t need to keep pressing it.

Moreover, air compressors are actually used in a wide range of applications, such as air conditioners that were common in later generations, air guns used for installation by carpenters, and even car repair tools in later generations.

Air compression is only the power source of air brakes, but to use air brakes on cars, various air valves and air storage tanks must be installed, and then replaced by mechanical power structures and applied to various parts. Cars that use air brakes must have a special air pressure gauge and low air pressure alarm.

Anyway, it's all miscellaneous, and Luo Cheng doesn't understand anything about this aspect. Just like the engine, at the beginning, I just knew roughly what devices were inside the engine, but I didn't understand how the engine worked. Because I was designing an engine before, I was studying every day, and only then did I understand how the engine works.

As for this air pressure suppression, Luo Cheng felt that he had to learn it again. You can't design an air compressor yourself but don't understand how the compressor works.

Luo Cheng felt that he was looking for trouble and wanted to get a big truck just for the convenience of transportation. In order to build large trucks, we need to build compressors. If we build compressors, we will get ourselves into trouble again.

But sooner or later, the compressor, car air conditioner, and air pressure spray painting will have to be done. These two alone are worth the waste of the sign-in system to get this thing out.

And just before getting off work, something purchased from Amado was delivered. Train transportation, then transfer to postal service, extra delivery fee will be added.

What was delivered was a set of film projectors. Last time, Director Zhou proposed that the factory get its own projector and recruit projectionists to enrich the workers' spiritual life. This matter was approved, but the projector was not immediately recruited because there was no projector.

The projector was delivered. The equipment is not big and can be packed in just two wooden boxes. Then there is the screening cloth. Nowadays, projection cloths are used, and only movie theaters have screens.

Two wooden boxes and a few pieces of special cloth cost more than 6,000 yuan. Many people could not afford it even if they had ten years' salary without food or water. If we just occasionally show one or two movies to the workers, and then play them for public welfare, these thousands of dollars will be wasted.

Luo Cheng thought that since he had a projector, he might as well build a big house and a cinema near the outside of the factory. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to build a simple house. You can ask workers to build the seats in the cinema. Then there will be no need to show outdoor movies. You can watch movies for free on designated days with your work permit.

Tickets can also be sold on other days. If other factories want to book the venue, they can give money or exchange items. In this way, you might be able to recover your costs and make money.

Luo Cheng, who has a post-age mentality, always thinks of more when he sees one thing.

The weather was cold, so Luo Cheng went home early again. Wearing a military coat and driving a three-wheeler, he felt like the most handsome guy on the street. But while the car was driving, I felt bad because it was snowing and the weather was cooling down again. As long as you pay attention, you can see bodies that are no longer moving in some corners.

Abroad, in such weather, a little girl can still sell matches. In China, for some people, beautiful snowflakes are just their talisman.

Fortunately, when Luo Cheng returned home, he was stopped by Aunt Wang while he was still at the door of the hospital. Another letter came, and Luo Cheng was asked to go to the post office to get it. There was no one at home, so the letter could never be delivered directly to me. Unless Luo Cheng changes the delivery address and gets it to the car factory, in that case, even if he can't sign for it, the postman will give the letter to the security room.

But now the only one who can write to Luo Cheng is Dai Qianqian. As a personal preference, Luo Cheng is still willing to go to the post office to get it.

The next day, it was a nice day. It snowed yesterday, but today the sun came out. When I arrived at the car factory, I found a Jiefang truck with a foreign license plate parked in front of the office.

According to normal circumstances, vehicles that are not from the automobile factory are not allowed to drive in before going to work.

After Luo Cheng went upstairs, he passed by the logistics department and was stopped by Director Zhang before he understood what was going on with the car downstairs.

A middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit was chatting with Director Zhang over a drink and a cigarette. The man was the director of the Liancheng Forklift Factory, but in the future the forklift factory will no longer exist and will become a branch of an automobile manufacturing plant. Even if you want to keep the name of the forklift factory, at least the name of the president of Ngee Ann Automobile Manufacturing Factory must be added to the brand prefix, and then it should be noted that it is Liancheng Forklift Branch Factory.

Just like if the engine was separated separately, the name would be a brand like Ngee Ann Automobile Manufacturing Plant Engine Branch.

The director of the forklift factory is named Wu Feng. He is a skilled worker and is a level six lathe worker, similar to Director Zhang.

The forklift factory first received a notice of being taken into custody, and then asked him to take people to Ngee Ann to urgently produce a batch of new forklifts. Director Wu used a truck to pull dozens of senior technical workers from the factory. When he first heard that his factory had been taken over and forced to become a branch of another factory, Director Wu was not convinced.

But I heard that the orders here are all for export. Not to mention other countries, even the Soviet Union ordered ten units. There is even more demand for purchases from the UK, and the higher authorities attach great importance to this export order.

The forklift factory in Liancheng just imitates the forklifts that others have eliminated, while the car manufacturer exports them directly. Even if you don't see the car, you have to be convinced.
