Siheyuan: This driver is too arrogant

Chapter 456: A monthly salary of 2 yuan, can you believe it? (Please subscribe)

"Our machine is considered a test product. After the actual test is completed, we will make further improvements based on farmers' needs and actual usage before finalizing the product for production."

The old man is 65 this year. He used to be unable to perform for a long time. Now that he has the opportunity, he is determined to build a domestic high-quality tractor that is not inferior to foreign brands such as John Deere and Kubota!
"Okay, old man, you can act arbitrarily. As long as you need anything, just give me a report!" Liu Weidong also dared to delegate power and gave all the power, including personnel approval, to the old man, letting him dominate the tractor factory. Whatever he wants Just do whatever you want!
Completely let go!

Let him toss as much as he can!

The old man was also grateful. He led his technicians to work around the clock and divided them into two groups. One group sent the tractor to the proving ground in Huanglong Mansion for field testing, and the other group continued to develop new products.

When the board of directors saw the finished product, they were all full of praise and strengthened their determination to enter the agricultural machinery field. The board of directors unanimously decided to invest an additional 1000 million yuan in the tractor factory and set up an engine factory in accordance with the standards required by the old man. Grab the food in your mouth and eat it!
If you can't do it, just take over from us!

Ten million in that era was not a small number!
The old man is now running in both directions. He is watching another test machine being built here, and he immediately uses a trailer to pull it to the Huanglong Mansion Testing Ground for field testing.

It is now spring and March, and the ice and snow in the Northeast have melted. Although there are still a few centimeters of frozen soil that have not completely thawed, it is not a problem for the powerful new tractors.

Under the watchful eyes of countless farmers, the Red Star tractor pulled the iron plowshare, easily breaking through the five centimeters of frozen soil and turning the lower soil to the top.

As the tractor drove all the way to the end of the field, Han Zuoxing gently pulled the red operating lever. Driven by hydraulic power, the plowshare slowly rose, and the tip of the plowshare with ice ballast was illuminated by the sun and shone brightly.

"This is much better than the iron lumps of the production team!"

"No, I used to have to lift the plowshare when I turned at the end of the field. That was so hard!"

"It's so hot in this car..."

Everyone was buzzing around the car, touching this and looking at that, and couldn't put it down.

"Third boy, how much does such a good tractor cost?"

"If it's cheaper, I'll sell the pot and sell it, and I'll have to make a difference!"

"With this thing in the future, our old yellow horse will retire!"

Han Zuoxing smiled and said, "This is not for sale!"

Grass!
The farmers almost punched him twice!

If you don’t sell it, why are you showing off by driving it?
Xugong sat on a small horse, holding a notebook and recording various data. He scratched his gray hair, raised his head and looked at the northeastern countryside in spring, with a smile on his lips.

"Drink some water, old man!" An old farmer brought a bowl of warm water. The old man took it and took a sip, clicking his lips, "It also has sugar added."

"I said you guys are running around with your little four-wheel whirring every day, and I don't even see you taking them out to sell. What are you doing here?" The old farmer took out a box of eight-cent Golden Gourd cigarettes and handed him one. XCMG was not polite, took it, put it on the match head and lit it, and muttered, "This is not to finalize the model and mass-produce it! If we don't detect the faults first and improve the car, if there are all faults when it is put into production, You are not allowed to poke our spines and scold us!"

"Haha, that's true!" The old farmer put the cigarette case into his pocket and looked at the handsome tractor with a carport in front of him. "I want to ask you something, how much does it cost if I buy one like this?"

"Thirty thousand, maybe!"

"Haha, it's definitely a bit expensive, but let's honestly say, how is this thing we made?"

"Okay, that's great. If I don't talk about anything else, just talk about electric ignition. It saves a lot of energy. Let me tell you, that guy from Qiantun Lao Li's family bounced back from shaking the handle and hit his head. Oh, that guy is bleeding all over, it’s scary to look at.”

"Haha, this can't be done anymore. We use an electric one. Just insert the key and twist it!"

Xugong stood up excitedly and pointed to the tractor's suspension system, "Did you see it? It's hydraulic. You can lift a plowshare weighing several hundred kilograms just by moving your hands!"

"I don't have any money now. If I have money, I can build one!" The old farmer stared blankly at the iron lump in his eyes. His eyes were almost glued to the tractor and he couldn't pull it out!

"Don't worry, brother, when our batch of tractors is put into production, we will discuss with the manufacturer and get you a special price!"

"The old man really has a special offer? Don't forget to leave one for me!"

"Me too, I want it too!"

The farmers rushed forward eagerly looking forward to being able to drive such a handsome tractor as soon as possible.

"Haha, I have everything!" Xugong looked at the enthusiastic farmers, and his heart moved. Why have I worked so hard for half my life? Is it not so that the villagers can use the "Iron Bull" to plow the fields and never have to use it again? You have endured hardship!
Ugh!
If I don’t keep the tractor in good condition, I won’t be able to bear my conscience!

When it got dark, the old man drove his tractor straight to the city. When passing by the long tractor, he didn't forget to stop the car and take a look.

The factory was brightly lit, and small four-wheelers with twelve and fifteen horsepower were lined up and headed to the parking lot, waiting to be bought by farmers.

The old man walked to the parking lot with his hands behind his back, looked at the newly driven four-wheeler, kicked the front wheel, patted the rear tire, shook his head and sighed!
Isn’t this still the same old stuff?
No hydraulic pressure, no power assist, not even a battery!

Just a shell, an iron frame, a rear axle gearbox and a single-cylinder diesel engine, that's all.

It’s just...

Eat and die!

Do not make progress!

"Old man, how did you get in? Get out!" The person on duty at night saw an old man looking around in the parking lot. He came over with a sullen expression and drove him out impatiently.

"I……"

The old man was about to say that I built this factory all by myself, but then he thought about it, forget it, what's there to brag about after being kicked out?

"I'll go right away..."

He walked through the green belt and returned to the street. He took another look at the busy people and let out a long sigh.

It’s unreliable, it’s really unreliable!
At home, his wife went to bed early, and Xugong quietly went upstairs, unlocked the door, and entered the house.When my wife opened her eyes the next morning, she found a bad old man lying next to her. She was frightened!
"You damn old man, he didn't even say hello to me in advance when he came back. It scared me to death!"

After realizing that the old man was her husband whom she had been with for decades, the old lady laughed, cursed, and kicked him, "When did you come back?"

"I came back last night, old lady, come here and I'll show you a baby!"

"You can pull it off, you're so old and still thinking about that!" The old lady poked him on the forehead, "Look, after being away for a few months, his hair is almost falling out!"

"What... you old lady, you are thinking the wrong way about me!" The old man stretched his waist, "Our factory has built a new tractor. You are also engaged in this field, so you are not interested in studying it?"

"Really? Then I have to take a good look!"

The two of them hurried downstairs and looked at the Red Star tractor parked downstairs. The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up!

"The color of this car, what do you think? It's colorful and green. It doesn't look like something we old farmers use for work... It looks like it should be driven around..." The old lady first put forward her opinion on the red, white and blue color scheme, and the old man laughed. , "You old lady is still so old-fashioned in your thinking. Why can't you be more colorful? You look so handsome!"

"Well, what are you talking about!" The old lady rolled her eyes at him and walked around the car several times. "It's a closed engine, so where does your air intake come from? You old man knows how to do it. What if the air inlet is placed here and there is a filter? What if the combustion is not sufficient?"

"You haven't seen the intake fan here yet!"

"I'm not talking about you, Lao Xu, we are all engaged in vehicle design. Look at this thing you built. It uses electricity for starting, heating, air intake and exhaust. In case the battery is dead, What should I do if there’s a power outage?”

"I've thought about it for a long time!" The old man chuckled, "I saw that I didn't have a crank handle but I still had it ready. There is a motor installed in the flywheel. As long as the tractor starts, the battery can be charged by the motor."

"How much power can a lead-acid battery store? It can be used here or there, and it must be charged every three days!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. In the future, not only will these parts need electricity, but we will also have to add a computer control system to the car. Then the car will be able to run without people..."

"Why don't you run away by yourself? Let me tell you, Lao Xu, you are so ambitious. When we do things, especially manufacturing, we have to be down-to-earth...Give me the key, and I'll try walking around twice!"

The old lady snatched the car key, unscrewed it, got into the carport and took a look, she was so happy!

Good guy!
what is this?
Leather seats!

It also has armrests, just like flying on an airplane!
She sat down and turned the key. The car made a steady and powerful roar. The headlights flashed twice. The old lady stepped on the accelerator, and the tractor rushed out.

The old man looked at his wife driving the tractor on the road with a proud look on his face. He thought that his wife was also a famous iron lady back then, so he thought she was just an ordinary soldier!

Chu Chu Chu!
The tractor circled the Labor Park several times and finally stopped downstairs. The old lady jumped out of the car feeling refreshed and handed the keys to XCMG. "It's not bad. The engine burns evenly and accelerates powerfully. I just don't know when I'm in the field." What kind of virtue is that?"

"I'm so satisfied with these two words of praise from your mouth!" The old man laughed, "This machine has 25 horsepower, and it can easily pull [-] kilograms of grain. Have you tried the hydraulic assist system? ? I’m telling you, that thing was borrowed from the old man’s strength..."

Early in the cold spring morning, the old couple excitedly exchanged opinions around the tractor. In the eyes of technicians like them, being able to build a machine with their own hands and modify it according to their own wishes is the greatest achievement in life. of happiness.

The old lady also pointed out several pertinent opinions. For example, if the entire vehicle relies on electricity, the 8AH lead-acid battery currently installed on the tractor is simply not enough. It is best to replace it with a larger one. In addition, the operation of the vehicle itself is too complicated and requires The old man wrote down the streamlining, the front wheelbase being too narrow, the need for a larger turning radius when farming, etc.

"If you ask me, don't stay at home. Let's go to the capital. There are good food, good accommodation, and a four-star hotel. Let's study together to build a tractor..."

"I can't stay in the capital. I stayed with you for a few days last time. My whole body felt uncomfortable and I couldn't feel happy anywhere. My own home is better. I don't care about gold or silver dens. I just like my doghouse... "

"You, you, let me tell you what you want. It's not like I can't live without my old sisters..."

"You're welcome, we play mahjong every day now, it's great!" The old lady looked at the clock, "It's already nine o'clock, old man, I'll buy you something to eat."

"Don't you know what I like to eat?" The old man quietly felt some pain in his knees. The spring in the capital was dry and windy, but the spring in the Northeast was actually wetter than the capital.

"This old man has been eating those kinds of dishes all his life. I've finally convinced you. You stay at home and I'll go buy groceries..."

"Well, I'll give you this month's salary!" The old man suddenly remembered something, pulled out a leather bag, opened it, took out more than a dozen thick stacks of banknotes, and slapped the stacks in front of the old lady.

The old lady was dumbfounded!

This old guy... must have been robbed when he came back!
How do you earn so much!

"I'm the chief engineer now, and Liu Weidong gives me a salary of 2 yuan a month..." The old man counted the ten-dollar bills with a proud look, a total of twenty wads. He didn't spend a penny, it's all here. !
"Alas!" The old lady looked at the money and suddenly sighed, "Liu Weidong is very kind to us. He has been delaying us for a long time and only got 300 yuan for a month... You are worth as much as you have been for the past eight years in one month! "

"Who says it's not the case!" The old man also sighed. After living for half his life, the couple had been saving and living frugally to support their six children, and now they only had less than 1 yuan on hand.

Unexpectedly, I was blessed to be able to earn a high salary of [-] yuan a month!

"I have suffered with you for half my life, and I finally look forward to the good days..." The old lady turned around and wiped away her tears. We have survived, and our lives will get better day by day in the future!"

"Old man, you have to help me build a tractor, but you can't hide it..." The old lady laughed through tears. She cleared her throat and her voice rose several times, "I'll just keep the money and pay it later." Please remit all your salary back to me so that you can save some wealth for your children, do you hear me?"

"Yes!" Xugong stood up and gave a crooked salute. The old lady laughed so hard that she punched him, "Old guy, you're not serious! I'm going to buy groceries!"

In the family area, the news that XCMG had returned a brand-new tractor in the middle of the night quickly spread like wildfire, and all the old buddies and technicians came forward to look at the tractor.

"Uncle Xu, are you back from the capital?" A young man named Shi Lei came over, squatted down, and looked up at the tractor chassis and asked.

"Well, I came back last night. Why didn't Xiaolei go to work today?"

"I'm not going, I'm quitting my job!" Shi Lei touched the brand-new shell of the car and was extremely envious, "Uncle, you made this tractor. Let me drive it twice and try it!"

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "I'll let you go, but I have to trouble you!"
