Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 488 Product Experiment
One morning in early June, Duan Yun drove Yu Shulan to the Daxing Automobile Factory.

After arriving at the Daxing Automobile Factory, he was still greeted by the director Li Xiu.

Today, Duan Yun is already a celebrity in Daxing City. Local newspapers and media have reported his reforms in labor service companies. Duan Yun’s name often appears on provincial and municipal internal references. Little technician.

In addition, Duan Yun and Li Xiu, the director of the Daxing Automobile Factory, have also maintained a very good private chat. Nowadays, this era is a society of personal relationships. Without personal connections, nothing can be done. Duan Yun is also well aware of this , so Cao Dong was often asked to deliver things to Li Xiu and several other main leaders of the automobile factory, sometimes tobacco and alcohol, and sometimes various meat, eggs and fish. I am also a leader, so I can't be caught by others, but Cao Dong doesn't care, he is an unemployed young man.

Once the money is delivered, things will be easy to handle.

After learning that Duan Yun wanted to buy another 212 jeep from their factory, Li Xiu immediately led them to the car class.

"I plan to keep this last 212 jeep in the factory as a souvenir. Since you want Xiaoduan, I'll sell it to you." Li Xiu pointed to the 212 jeep parked in the garage, and said to Duan Yun said.

"That's really a big thank you to Director Li!" Duan Yun thanked him after hearing the words.

"Actually, based on the relationship between the two of us, I should give you a cheaper price, but after all, it is something in the factory and you have to pay, so I can only give you the last price..." Li Xiu whispered to Duan Yun.

"Understood, just use the last price!" Duan Yun said very simply.

In fact, Duan Yun didn't intend to make a price, because this time the purchase was originally in the name of the unit, not for private purchases, so a few hundred or one thousand cheaper would have no effect on Duan Yun.

"That's fine, Xiao Duan, let's check the condition of the car first." Li Xiu said, motioning to the driver of the small car behind him to fetch the car keys.

After a while, Duan Yin took the key from the driver of the small car and got into the 212 Jeep in the garage.

After the car started, Duan Yun drove around the factory area of ​​the automobile factory, and when he returned to the small car class, he showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The condition of this 212 jeep is not bad. Although it is not usually driven, the driver of the small car class does a good job of daily maintenance. The condition of the car is similar to that of the 212 jeep that Duan Yun bought before. No problem.

Afterwards, Yu Shulan contacted the financial department of the automobile factory, and after paying the car payment, Li Xiu sent the driver of the small car class to drive the car to Duan Yun's factory, and the transaction was considered completed.

Politely rejecting Li Xiu's invitation to stay in the factory cafeteria for lunch, Duan Yun drove back to the factory with Yu Shulan.

Seeing that Duan Yun bought another 212 jeep, the security staff immediately wiped the car clean.

After work in the afternoon, Duan Yun organized a research team to install the Lada gearbox sample made earlier on this 212 Jeep.

Several repairmen of the public relations team were very agile, and it took only half an hour to oil the gearbox sample and install it on the car.

After the car started, Duan Yun circled outside the factory.

Along the way, Duan Yun shifted gears back and forth. He felt that the performance of the new gearbox was not bad, the noise was not too loud, and the operation was better than the original 212 Jeep.

However, Duan Yun also knows that it takes a long time to test the performance of the gearbox, and there is no problem at all once or twice.

Duan Yun is the only one who can drive in the field, but Duan Yun usually has other things to do, he can't waste time testing the car gearbox every day, so in order to free up time for other things, Duan Yun Yun decided to train two drivers first.

Being a driver for the past two years is definitely a favorite, one of the most sought-after professions.

These days, the salary of ordinary workers is only 40 yuan, while the monthly salary of drivers can be as high as more than 200 yuan, which is 10 times higher than that of ordinary people. It is conceivable how good their lives are.

But this high salary is not easy to come by. Drivers in that era also had to do research and learn mechanical theoretical knowledge. It was quite difficult, so the gold content was very high.So the driver at that time not only had face, but also tickets.

Since he wants to train drivers, Duan Yun will definitely not let his wealth flow into the fields of outsiders. Two apprentices, Da Jun and Er Hu, became the targets of driver training.

When the two learned that Duan Yun wanted to train them to drive, both Da Jun and Er Hu were very excited. Even though Duan Yun had made it clear that the main reason for them to learn to drive was to test the car gearbox in the factory, the two still disagreed. Gareth agreed.

Not to mention the salary for being able to drive, at least it is a very face-saving thing. You must know that the Ma Junying where they are located does not see a few cars entering the village throughout the year, let alone someone who can drive. In the eyes of these villagers, People who can drive are either high-ranking officials or quite capable people, and if Dajun and Erhu drive back to the village, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole village and attract countless envious looks.

For the next half month, Duan Yun taught Dajun and Erhu how to drive the car and some basic maintenance methods.

In addition, Duan Yun went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy two books on traffic rules for them to study.

Dajun and Erhu are very enthusiastic about studying. They drive during the day and memorize all kinds of traffic regulations at night. The traffic regulations and maintenance notes alone fill an exercise book.

But what made them feel distressed was that Duan Yun asked them to drive the car continuously during the day and change gears in reverse, and then observe the condition of the gearbox after a while to see if there was any oil leakage or overheating in the gearbox.

This way of driving caused a lot of wear and tear on the car. Seeing that the newly bought car was getting louder and louder, Da Jun and Er Hu also felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

But Duan Yun didn't intend to let the two of them stop, and continued to let them drive for 3 to 4 hours a day, and they still needed to change gears in the middle.

Unlike the two tigers in the army who are distressed about the car, in Duan Yun's view, the research and development of new products, especially the research and development of auto parts, is a very expensive thing. In later generations, the research and development funds of a gearbox can often reach hundreds of millions or even A few billion yuan, and it may not be successful, so judging from these cases, Duan Yun paid for a newly bought car, which is simply a waste of cost that is not worth mentioning.

Under such high-frequency unconventional operations, the first gearbox sample produced by Duan Yun Factory had serious gear wear and oil leakage in less than half a month, which shows that Duan Yun’s imitation The Lada gearbox was not successful. After discussion and analysis by Duan Yun and the technical research team, it was finally determined that the surface hardness of the gearbox gear was not enough to support long-term wear, and the heat treatment process needed further improvement...
