Chapter 255 Preparing to Launch the Cube Car 20
Chapter 255 Preparing to launch Cube Car 2.0
The truck production of the automobile factory, under the leadership of Team Leader Jiang, has been initially tapered according to Luo Cheng's drawings.
But to achieve the theoretical data on Luo Cheng's drawings, the data obtained by the research institute of Ngee Ann JT University is not enough. The safety bearing capacity of bearings produced from relatively good steel at the steel rolling mill simply cannot meet Luo Cheng's requirements. If you insist on pulling more than 20 tons, logically, if the horsepower is enough, there will be no problem. But over time, problems can easily arise if you often walk on unstable roads.
Luo Cheng looked at the truck that Team Leader Jiang and his team had built, which was not even a semi-finished product. He knew that it was due to material problems that it could not meet the design requirements. Not only the bearing material, but also other components must be specially processed to meet the requirements. This is directly based on the experience of Jicheng. If there is a problem with the trial-produced vehicle there, it is not because there is a problem with the assembly, but because the parts are unqualified.
Add bearings? It doesn't seem right. Even if he doesn't know much about trucks, he is still better than people of this era. Although the body is large now, in later generations such trucks would only be considered medium-sized trucks.
Finally, Luo Cheng remembered. Now he was designing an integrated truck, which was also the type used by many drivers in later generations for transportation. But in later generations there were semi-trailers and full-trailers, which had no power behind them and relied entirely on the front end of the truck for traction.
For semi-trailers and full-trailers, after assembly, the rear compartment and rails alone are only ten meters long. It has a lot of equipment and a large load capacity. The only disadvantage is that the operation is not as flexible as the overall truck. This is why trucks in later generations only need a B2 license to drive, while tractors, that is, semi-trailers and full trailers, require an A2 driver's license.
Power means traction. As long as there is no problem with the power, and with the experience of producing a complete truck, it should not be difficult to launch a trailer in the future. However, semi-trailers or full trailers will only be produced unless there is greater demand. Judging from the current domestic road conditions. Without traffic control, many roads are too big for cars to drive on.
China has become an infrastructure maniac, at least it has not yet manifested itself. If it wants to be rich, build more roads, it is still just a slogan. Building roads is a political achievement for current leaders, but building roads in later generations is no longer a big deal. Roads were built just to sell houses during development.
Without bank and local financial allocations, it would be a joke to allow backward areas to build roads. There is no economic industry in the countryside. How much money can be made by relying on the food in the fields. Both units and schools need to rely on them for salary expenditures. Especially after the reform, it is very common for many local schools to be unable to pay salaries.
The domestic roads are not good, but that doesn’t mean there is no market. It can be sold casually in mining areas and overseas markets, and it is enough for an automobile factory to open a tractor production line.
Just lower the safe load. From now on, when drivers at your own factory drive trucks like this, they will be strictly required to have no more than 18 tons. But if other factories want to buy it, even if you say you require 18 tons, it will be very difficult for them to strictly abide by it. Overloading is normal. If the bearing is bent or cracked, just replace it. They are all the property of the country.
The truck continued to be assembled according to the process, and the front end also came as required, a large front end with a sleeper. The location of the air conditioner should also be reserved, and it will be installed when the time comes.
The truck is not expected to be unveiled before the Chinese New Year this year, but the cube truck is ok.
The car glass finally arrived, and several trucks were specially sent to the car factory. For this glass, the automobile factory dedicated a workshop and stored it on many glass shelves.
The glass is imported. Car glass costs several hundred pieces, and a set costs thousands. This is still used by car factories. If the car is driven out and the glass is smashed, you will have to pay extra to replace the glass. The glass imported from the car factory is used to install on the car, but there is not much glass for you to replace.
Car air conditioners have also been improved. In fact, the refrigerant has been replaced before, and the integrated air conditioner was originally developed. But in order to better install it on the car, it is too big and does not have such high power. It is impossible to get an engine to specifically power the air conditioner.
The requirements for car air conditioning are very simple. How much space does a car have? To turn on the air conditioner, the space must be sealed. You have to make it smaller, just cool it slowly, then design a control switch and exhaust port on the car, and you can create a simple car air conditioner.
When the glass and air conditioner were installed, Luo Chengdu even thought of the air conditioner filter. It was a consumable part and easy to produce, but the effect was definitely not as good as that of later generations. It was okay to remove dust. Later generations would also have activated carbon filters. That was not something Luo Cheng considered.
After the cube truck 2.0 was completely developed, household refrigerators and air conditioners were not in urgent need. Luo Cheng asked Teacher Hu Ping to follow Team Leader Jiang and others to improve the pneumatic braking structure of the truck. There are only about ten days left to celebrate the New Year, and it is impossible to have a holiday until the New Year's Eve, only around the 28th.
Some people from out of town had to take their holidays earlier than expected. Staff from military factories and some family members who rented houses here came with them, but most of them still didn't come. Especially if you have other relatives in your hometown, even if you bring your wife and children, you still have to go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year.
So even though there are still more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, the office workers at the automobile factory are busier now than when they are paying wages. Paying wages in advance is what many factories do every New Year, so that everyone can have money to celebrate the New Year. Of course, wages are calculated until the five days before the Chinese New Year.
Five days before the Chinese New Year, the pigs, chickens and ducks raised in the factory will be slaughtered. There are not many chickens and ducks left. The chickens and ducks recovered last time were not enough, so some of them were taken out from the breeding house. The usual entertainment and occasional extra meals for the workers are not much. On the day of salary payment, we are also prepared to take care of it.
Because there is an economic cooperative in Longjin Town, the factory will no longer consider raising its own chickens and ducks from now on. The breeding house will be demolished in the next year, and a research and development building will be expanded at that time. At that time, engineers and R&D personnel will be placed in the R&D building.
This is also the reason why Luo Cheng wants to move Xiaoyu and the others to the cinema. Of course, there is another reason why Xiaoyu and the others smell like feed since pigs, chickens and ducks are raised here. We can't let them continue to fuck us. We are two good girls. It's cold today and we can't let them take baths often.
In the last few days of the Chinese New Year, Luo Chengcheng also arranged something for himself, launching Cube Car 2.0. He had thought about the price, and every performance was better than that of a sedan. Even in terms of speed, the sedan couldn't match it. Considering the wind force and weight of the vehicle, Luo Cheng asked his department to adjust the gear parameters of the transmission to reduce the vehicle's speed.
In fifth gear, the vehicle speed is 160, but this is only the normal comparison speed of fuel supply. If you really want to put it in fifth gear and push it to the bottom, it will exceed 160 yards. However, if the speed of a square-shaped car is too fast, it does have much stronger resistance than a sedan. If the body weight is not enough, it will always feel like it is floating. In rainy and snowy weather, it is easy to cause an accident if you drive too fast.
For the launch of Cube Truck 2.0 this time, the first step is to establish an ambulance department. We have already contacted other hospitals through the medical director we met last time. It is a good thing to have an ambulance. Of course, ordinary people can’t even make a phone call and can’t afford to see a doctor. Even if the car is cheap, the people we serve must have some money. At least there are workers in the family who can afford to work.
The current business orientation is to serve leaders and transfers from local hospitals below. There are four counties under the jurisdiction of Nghe An, so Luo Cheng simply got four vehicles. Try to ensure that one vehicle can be dispatched in each county.
Of course, ambulances also have an emergency rescue function. For example, if there is an accident, the ambulance can be dispatched immediately.
Today's hospitals are of a service nature and are not positioned as profitable as in later generations. There is no phenomenon of random prescribing of medicines and random testing. There are no medical disputes, and the patients are honest. Even if a medical error occurs, the patient will only think that the person cannot be saved. I won’t hold anyone accountable because I don’t understand how to determine responsibility.
Therefore, many hospitals actually have little income. The construction of a ward depends on local finance. In the early days of reform, many hospitals were mostly old-fashioned. However, after they changed from service type to profit-making type, all kinds of expenses were borne by patients. The purpose of purchasing equipment is to treat patients, and the cost has to be calculated on the patients. The expansion is also to serve more patients, and the cost still needs to be calculated.
But how to spread the cost to the patients is a question.
Now the automobile factory uses four newly developed vehicles to turn them into ambulances. This is not only a good thing for the hospital, but also a good thing for local departments. Because financial expenditures were saved, local departments also actively cooperated. All units and enterprises in Ngee Ann City recorded the phone number of the ambulance department of the automobile factory. The ambulance telephone number is specially set by the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau in accordance with the requirements of the automobile factory. The area code is added to 120.
With the ambulance department, the number of staff in the car factory's infirmary has also expanded a lot. The happiest person here is Li Xiaotong, who has more nurses and has become the head nurse. Of course, ordinary doctors also added a few. But if a doctor wants to be promoted, he must have real skills.
Luo Cheng plans to hire a skilled doctor to serve as the director. At that time, the factory's medical office will also be moved and upgraded to a clinic. As for the automobile factory, the development direction of the clinic must be mainly surgery.
Carrying things, operating machines, assembling products, etc., as long as you accidentally get injured. It's not a particularly serious injury, it's the kind that requires surgery. At least it can be solved at the clinic of your own factory in the future. Stitches, plaster, etc. can at least be solved internally.
Luo Cheng also didn't expect to expand his infirmary by just building an ambulance.
Of course, Luo Cheng didn't need to launch this ambulance. He wanted to launch a commercial vehicle. As for conventional cars, they can only be launched as office cars. It’s the best time for police, traffic control, etc. But I'm afraid they can't afford it, at least the local police station below can't afford it.
When there was no cube car 1.0, it would be good to have a three-wheeled vehicle in the county police station. Ordinary police officers may not have bicycles when patrolling, but rely on their legs.
At least most of the police stations in Ngee Ann City now have cube trucks, and some police stations are directly equipped with ordinary glass. Although this ordinary glass can easily injure the driver if broken, some people don't care. Safety hazards are something that no one really pays attention to these days.
Not only the people at the police station used ordinary glass as windshields on the cube cars 1.0, but others also followed suit. Almost all the cube cars 1.0 sold were equipped with ordinary glass. It's cold today, the wind can't get in, and it's no different than a small car. What's more, it has four wheels.
The launch of Luo Cheng's pair of cube cars this time is a bit like a later car show. Prepare to call the heads of local units and large enterprises in urban areas to visit. The people of the steel rolling mill have also been invited to take responsibility, and they are also planning to let the steel rolling mill pull strings to export at a high price.
A conventional car is priced at RMB 65,000. Commercial car, priced at 80,000. Even a conventional car is more expensive than an ordinary sedan, let alone a commercial vehicle.
But don’t be too expensive. The practicality and performance of this car are better than those of a sedan. It requires space and power. The key ignition device is considered the first of its kind in the country, and the car air conditioner breaks the history of no car air conditioners in China. Even in terms of appearance, Cube Car 2.0 is no more ugly than an ordinary boxy car. Curvaceous cars are good-looking, but they are all made by high-level workers. In other words, Hongqi cars are good-looking, but I don’t know what the production volume and what level of people can use them.
This is still not exported. If it is exported, foreigners will take a fancy to it. With the current output, ordinary units and enterprises may not be able to buy it if they give money back then.
Just like forklifts, you really think that all the forklifts produced by automobile factories are exported. For things that originally need to be imported, will the gap disappear just because we can produce them ourselves?
There are good forklifts, even if they are self-produced, who would want to use a bad forklift. The forklifts sold by automobile factories are expensive, but there is a difference between importing a forklift with poor performance from China and then selling it to a company at several times the price.
The automobile factory said it would sell 50,000 units to domestic customers, but anyone with a little bit of energy could find out that the forklifts supplied by the automobile factory to the steel rolling mills were not equipped with glass or doors, only body brackets, but domestic ones If people use it, just install a rain cover.
Those who can use forklifts are heavy-duty companies and ports that have energy. You don't need to install glass and doors. They are not used for the same purpose. At most, they will come forward, just like the export, to get some food for the automobile factory.
Even the steel rolling mill itself has three forklifts in use, and there is no need to tell the automobile factory. Anyway, the automobile factory sends the trucks, and no matter how you arrange them, it will always be 30,000 per truck plus 4% of the retention money in exchange for food.
Ngee Ann local central unit, office of the top leader.
"Secretary Jiang, there seems to be a big move at the automobile factory today, and many departments have been invited. But it's almost the end of the year, and your schedule is full. It seems that you are meeting with the secretary of Changcheng that day. Isn't that right? In response, I went back to the car factory.”
Secretary Jiang took out his cigarette, lit it and took a puff. The person reporting to him was his secretary, so not responding meant being treated coldly without even a single reply. When I returned to the car factory, even though I didn’t have time to go, I wanted to give the car factory some face and send someone to talk to him.
A factory with two thousand people was nothing in Ngee Ann, and Luo Cheng's level was not high. If it were another factory, a new product tour, or a joke, you would have made a mistake by calling to inform them.
What are your long legs for? The inviter will not come to your door to invite you in person. You should value and respect me. Do you understand? Just a phone call to tell you whether you are the top leader in Ngee Ann or I am the top leader in Ngee Ann.
But the caller was from an automobile factory, and at least the caller was Luo Cheng himself, who spoke politely. In this three-acre area of Nghe An, there are two factories that are no longer restricted by geography. One is a steel rolling mill and the other is an automobile factory. Hundred-rolled steel, made by Xiqi, you really think it's just famous for its benefits.
Although it was a slogan spread among the people, if such an arrogant slogan had no strength and background, the higher-ups would have talked to them long ago. At least pay attention to the impact, and don't let a factory act like a local gang.
"You know who the car factory invited."
"I don't know the specific ones, but I've invited the second and third ones, as well as the public security department, postal service, traffic management, finance, housing and construction, cultural bureau, steel rolling mill, and meat processing factory. That's all I know so far, it should be There are also some people who have been invited, but we haven’t counted them.”
When Secretary Jiang heard this, he realized that basically all the important departments in Ngee Ann were invited. It was a big move. The scheduled date happened to be the day when he had an appointment with Secretary Changcheng. Although he and Secretary Changcheng were both city secretaries, he was the secretary of a municipality directly under the central government, and his rank was half a level higher than his.
"Don't worry about this for now. I'll call Secretary Changcheng and talk about it later."
Secretary Jiang replied, and when the secretary heard this, he immediately knew the rules and left the office. When the leader talks to the leader, he has to stand aside like an idiot. Even if the content of the chat is ordinary, this position is considered to be over.
