Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 408 Alternative Partners
There are several factories with steel casting equipment in Daxing, but considering technology and transportation, Daxing Diesel Engine Factory located in the suburb of West Garden is Duan Yun's first.

Daxing Diesel Engine Factory is called '616' in the local area. It belongs to the National Ministry of Machinery and is also one of the key domestic military enterprises. It used to mainly produce tank engines. It was a secret unit in special years. It appeared on many military maps and marked as '616' ', which is also the origin of the local name of the factory.

Factory 616 is one of the 156 key projects constructed during my country's "First Five-Year Plan" period. It is a designated national research and trial production and equipment production base for military tracked armored vehicle power. It is a national key military enterprise and later changed to Shanxi Diesel Engine Industry. Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of high-speed, high-power, modern diesel engines affiliated to China North Industries Group Corporation.

These days, West Garden 616 Factory is definitely considered a "popular" unit in Daxing. In terms of factory efficiency, it is even better than Red Star Gear Factory. The children in the factory are quite bullish. Not a native of Daxing, but during the First Five-Year Plan, the factory was built with the aid of the Soviets, and the entire factory was moved from the Northeast.The construction and technical backbones are all drawn from existing factories across the country, especially in the Northeast, so the factory speaks Mandarin.

At that time, 616 was the envied workplace of the ordinary people in Datong, with high wages and high living standards. However, after the disarmament, orders dropped sharply, and the transformation was not considered a success. It is not what it used to be.

Most of these factories are powerful state-owned enterprises in the heavy industry equipment manufacturing or chemical industry in the era of the national planned economy. Their inputs and outputs are directly oriented to the national economic cycle, not limited to Daxing. The advantageous industries at that time enabled Datong to occupy a very advantageous first-mover position in the early stage of reform and opening up. However, after entering the era of market economy, it was finally on the verge of being eliminated.

In fact, the technical quality of the products of Daxing Diesel Engine Factory has not been high. The tank engines produced before have many problems. When they are assembled on the 59 tanks, they often encounter larger slopes and cannot climb up. The troops have also given feedback many times. It is required to improve the engine performance and quality. It can be seen that the engine technology of the 616 factory is indeed not high.

Although the quality of military products produced by Factory 616 is not high, it is not a problem to produce civilian products. After all, it is a national key military industry unit, so many of the equipment of 616 are better than those of Red Star Gear Factory.

Before the 80s, the products of Factory 616 were not for civilian use, but by the early 80s, the national policy had changed and entered the stage of "military-civilian integration".

After Mr. Deng put forward the sixteen-character policy of "military-civilian integration, peacetime and wartime integration, military product priority, and civilian support for the army", the national defense science and technology industry began to implement military-civilian integration, requiring the national defense industry to obey and serve the overall situation of national economic construction and contribute to economic construction. service, and promote the modernization of national defense with the four modernizations.

Factory 616 has also begun to gradually produce some civilian products in the past two years, mainly truck engines and other parts and components. However, sales have not yet been rolled out, and the output is not high.

After Duan Yun drove to the West Garden on the outskirts of the city, he stopped at the gate of Factory 616. After getting off the car, he saw a soldier in military uniform standing guard at the gate with a rifle in his hand.

After all, it is a military industry secrecy unit, so the 616 factory has soldiers on guard.

Duan Yun walked up to the soldiers on guard, showed his work ID, and explained his purpose.

The soldier carefully checked Xia Duanyun's work permit, and then glanced at the 212 jeep parked behind him, then immediately went to the concierge and made a call.

Five minutes later, Duan Yun came to the office building of the factory under the leadership of a factory worker.

The 616 factory director's office is in the middle of the second floor. After Duan Yun followed the staff into the office, he immediately saw an old man in a gray tunic suit with a thin face and black-rimmed glasses sitting on the desk opposite him.

"Director Yang, someone brought it here." The staff member said to the old man respectfully.

"Well, Xiao Zhao, you go out." The old man waved the staff to leave, then got up and smiled and said to Duan Yun: "Are you Comrade Duan Yun, the manager of Red Star Labor Service Company?"

"It's me." Duan Yun nodded, and then asked the old man, "How do I call you?"

"I am Yang Sheng, the director of the Diesel Engine Factory."

"Ah, hello, Director Yang." Upon hearing this, Duan Yun immediately stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Yang Sheng.

"Sit down." Yang Sheng signaled Duan Yun to sit down, and then said with a smile: "I have met with Qin, the director of your main factory, twice. I really didn't expect the general manager of the labor service company of the Red Star Factory to be so young. He is really a formidable young man." , it's rare."

"Hehe, Factory Director Yang is overrated. In fact, I have only been the manager of Red Star Labor Service Company for more than a week. If I have time, I still need to learn a lot from seniors like you, Factory Director Yang." Duan Yun smiled apologetically. said.

"Definitely." Yang Sheng said politely, and then asked Duan Yun: "Then Manager Duan, is there anything you want to see me for today?"

"It's like this..." While speaking, Duan Yun took out a blueprint from his bag, put it gently on Yang Sheng's desk, and said: "Our company has recently developed a new car gearbox product. The gear part is our strong point, but for the gearbox casing, our labor service company does not have the corresponding production equipment, so we want to cooperate with your factory to purchase this kind of casing for a long time."

"Ah." Yang Sheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, picked up the drawing and looked at it, frowned slightly, and said to Duan Yun: "Your Red Star Factory should be able to produce this kind of gearbox casing, why come to our factory? What about buying?"

"That's the case, Director Yang. Our labor service company is supplying our Daxing Automobile Factory this time. The gearbox products we need are of high quality, although our main factory can also produce this kind of gearbox casing. , but the equipment technology and technology are not up to standard, and your diesel engine factory is a military enterprise, and the products you produce, whether military or civilian, are ranked first in the country, so I came here this time because of the reputation. For the sake of the fact that we are all local companies in Daxing, you must help our factory..."

"That's it..." Yang Sheng nodded when he heard the words, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Duan Yun: "Our factory can indeed produce this kind of product, but considering the economic benefits, we must have a sufficient number of orders. Small batch production If so, I don't feel the need to make a fuss..."

"Director Yang, don't worry, if your factory really produces qualified gearbox shells, the order quantity is guaranteed to satisfy you. Our Daxing Automobile Factory has recently introduced German technology production lines, with an annual output of tens of thousands of cars. If our transmission The box products can become the supplier of Daxing Automobile Factory, and the profit is quite considerable..." Duan Yun said to Yang Sheng seriously.
