Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home.

Chapter 248 The Imagining of the Compressor
Where did the profit of the automobile factory go? On the first day of taking office, the deputy director of the factory, Du Yongkang, was familiarizing himself with the industry and current situation of the automobile factory.

After seeing the financial statement, even he, who has been the deputy mayor for two years, couldn't help feeling a chill down his back.In the old society, high interest rate~~loans were made at compound interest, and Luo Cheng, the factory director, was completely profit-prone in his development.In addition, the billing is now a monthly settlement model. Almost all the things in this car factory have not yet been produced, and the money expected to be earned has begun to be spent recklessly.

Although this is the era of the working class, factories are all under the responsibility system of the factory manager. If there is a problem in the factory, the first person to be held accountable is the factory manager.Dedication is devotion, but everyone is paid. In Du Yongkang's view, there is no need to be so radical.

The factory has no money in the account. Du Yongkang took a look at the industry of the automobile factory. At present, almost every product has a lot of room for improvement.This also means that the expansion potential of the factory is huge, but Du Yongkang thinks it is better to slow down, as long as it is delayed for a month, there will be at least hundreds of thousands in the book.

So on the first day Du Yongkang came, he came to Luo Cheng after four o'clock in the afternoon and asked about the production plan for the next month.

"The Chinese New Year will be next month, Lao Du, and I don't plan to make too much trouble. The first one is the gearbox production line, which will come in just a few days, and the workshop will have to be moved. It is said that the new factory building will be delivered in ten days. Even if the factory needs to develop, there is no space for the time being."

Du Yongkang nodded, and what Luo Cheng said was exactly what he wanted. The factory should take a break, as no company spends money so cleanly.But the matter of the gearbox has to be written down, and the car factory will have another industry.Because both of them are factory directors, the only difference is that Du Yongkang is a few years older than Luo Cheng, so Luo Cheng directly called him Lao Du.

"Well, let's simply add an engine production line next month. Then our factory's cube car 2.0 will also be put into production, and forklifts will be exported. Try to produce as much as possible. You need to spend more time on this. I will be in charge of the research and development of air compressors."

"Director Luo, how much does this engine production line cost?"

"Not many. We still purchase parts such as screws from outsiders. For the production of other parts, the entire production line is about 80."

"More than 80~~ ten thousand."

At the beginning, what Luo Cheng said was an understatement, adding a production line.Du Yongkang thought it wouldn't cost much, but he didn't think it would cost more than 80.Because he was going to be the deputy director of the automobile factory, he also found some newspapers about the automobile field to read these days.

It seems that a certain city spent 80 yuan to imitate the first car in China from scratch.But now the production line of just one engine costs 80.How many engines do you have to sell to earn it back?

And counting the planned production tasks of the automobile factory, the cost is not more than 50.Of course, less than 50 is the planned task for this month.The task will be re-declared next month, and both manual forklifts and three-wheeled trucks will increase the planned output.

The planned production of [-] three-wheeled trucks was reported at the beginning, mainly because the transmission was stuck in production.But now that a single set of inverters has been purchased from Hongcheng, at least the output of three-wheeled trucks can be doubled several times to increase the output.

However, due to space constraints, Luo Cheng plans to increase the production of three-wheeled trucks to two hundred next month.And if there are 100 vehicles, it will cost [-] million to sell them. To produce [-] vehicles, there are basically no restrictions on components. At most, diesel engines need to be ordered from more than two engine factories.

But even so, two hundred three-wheeled trucks can't earn 80 yuan, and the cost of the wheels and the engine alone will cost thousands of dollars. Even if other things are not expensive, if you add up the miscellaneous things, you will need hundreds of thousands.Therefore, including all the profits of cube trucks and forklifts, it is enough to add an engine production line.

As for the engine, Director Zhao took it to other places for testing before, but he paid for three engines this month, so he doesn't plan to return it. 3000 yuan a piece, at this price, Luo Cheng is only exporting the price, and does not plan to sell it domestically.

The price is so expensive, whether it can be sold or not depends on whether the batch of engines assembled by the automobile factory are taken by anyone.

There are too many engine parts, and a production line requires dozens of machines, all of which are domestic machines.If it is imported, 80 yuan will not be taken down at all.To know the transmission production line, because of the precision requirements, imported equipment must be purchased.The rolling mill contacted an old production line, and asked Luo Cheng for a forklift payment of 70 yuan to offset each other.

Therefore, it is really not expensive to build a production line for 80 yuan, although most of the production lines are mechanized and require lathe operators.But at least it can meet the minimum production requirements of the engine, and some parts may not be as good as later generations, but as long as it is not so prone to problems.In the future, the materials will be upgraded slowly.

Adding another production line will increase the output by [-] units a month, mainly because many parts can only be made into semi-finished products when they are produced by machines.The equipment is not advanced, it cannot be intelligent, and it cannot be formed at one time. Some places that need to be drilled have to be machined for secondary processing.

But it is enough. The equipment of the military factory has been equipped with some equipment, and a production line is being built.More than 100 engines can be produced a month, and if it can be exported, it will be more than [-] million. A production line can earn back in a month.

In fact, compared with the gasoline engine factory in Tianhu, Luocheng agreed to a production line, and the output was actually lower.This is mainly because the engine structure here is different and there are more components.

According to Luo Cheng's intentions, next month will really be collected.If you want to expand, in fact, each workshop can increase the number of machines to increase production.However, Du Yongkang's calculation method is different from Luo Cheng's calculation method. Du Yongkang calculates the profit from the existing production, while Luo Cheng calculates the profit from sales after the expansion and production increase.

Anyway, I don't worry about selling it, the most is that the engine has not been contacted for sale.In Luo Cheng's view, even if he can't export it, at most he can use it himself.It's not that the car factory can't produce cars. At most, they don't fix any fancy shapes, but first make a more square model, such as the old-fashioned Santana model.

This type of car was also popular in Hong Kong. In some old Hong Kong movies, this is the kind of taxi that can often be seen.If the iron sheet is thinner, the stamping machine can punch out the car shell. Of course, the whole body is still not good. It can be stamped separately, divided into three parts: front, middle and rear.

Anyway, after the engine is built, there is no need to worry about not being able to use it.Selling the engine alone is not as profitable as selling a car, and if it cannot be exported, if it is sold to the domestic market for [-] yuan, someone will talk.But if it can be exported, even if it is [-] in the country, there will be a place to rush for it. If it is exported, it will not be sold in the country, but will be exported first.

This is the case in this era. In China, the value of your product is not based on performance, but the cost of the materials you produce.And once it can be exported, the nobles who sell it at your price will shut up.Just like a forklift, Luo Cheng said that it costs [-] to sell domestically and [-] to export.But if it cannot be exported, no matter how good the forklift is, the price may not be set as much as you want.

Anyway, according to Luo Cheng's calculation, the construction of the factory building, the construction of the staff building, his R&D investment, etc. will be deducted next month.The factory will definitely still have a lot of money.It mainly comes from forklifts and engines. If the engine cannot be exported, then the first goal next year is to produce cars.

When Du Yongkang heard Luo Cheng's algorithm, he couldn't say anything more. At least forklifts were not included in the planned production tasks, which would indeed bring a lot of profit.

The next day, after the factory had a deputy factory manager, Luo Cheng could at least be a half-hands-off shopkeeper.Unless someone is targeting the new deputy factory director, according to the rules, if someone below has something to report, it is usually reported to the immediate leader.If the immediate leader is undecided, he will continue to report.

That is to say, if the temporary workers and apprentices have something to do, they will report to the master who leads them. If the master can't solve it, they will find the team leader. If the team leader can't solve it, they will go to the director.

The deputy factory manager is in charge of production. There was no deputy factory manager before, and all matters related to production would be directly referred to Luo Cheng, but now it is wrong to refer to Luo Cheng. It is a leapfrog report.Maybe you were unintentional when you reported, but for some people, you will think that you look down on him if you report beyond the level.

With the deputy factory manager, unless Du Yongkang is in charge, he doesn't have to report to Luo Cheng in the future.Unless Du Yongkang is not in the factory and has something to go out to ask for leave.Otherwise, even if the people below did not understand the rules and found Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng would let them find Du Yongkang.

So although the meeting was still held in Luo Cheng's office the next day, Luo Cheng had already arranged for someone to get a temporary conference table for the deputy factory manager's office.From now on, Luo Cheng doesn't have to worry about the daily meeting, it will be held by Du Yongkang, and he doesn't have to attend if there is no business for him.And if he has something to do, let the people in the propaganda department notify the meeting.

Even moving to a new office building in the future has a separate meeting room. After the scale develops, even various departments can hold meetings.At that time, the power is more subdivided.

With the deputy factory manager, Luo Chengcheng felt that he could have a vacation.It's just that it's boring to stay at home, and it's cold outside, so it's boring to take a stroll.It's a pity that there are no electronic products in this era, even after the reform, it would be nice to have a video game room.

What gave Luo Cheng a little motivation was that the structural diagram of the air compressor was produced, and the structural diagram of the air brake was also mastered.And the principle of the compressor is also mastered. In fact, Luo Cheng didn't notice it at the beginning. He had already accumulated a certain foundation of the principle of the air compressor when he was working on the engine.Because there are some principles of cylinder compression inside the engine, but that is in conjunction with the full combustion of gasoline, which is a very weakened aerodynamic principle.

But this time it is an independent air compression principle. If it is installed on a car, it can rely on the engine as the power to drive the compressor to work.Then, through the power of the compressor, various power demands of the large truck are controlled.

In fact, the principle of compressors has been used in many places in this era, such as using steam to burn boilers, all of which use the power of compression.

Therefore, the air compressor developed by Luo Cheng can not only be used on trucks, but also can be used on all kinds of machinery that require power.For example, punching machines and folding machines, maybe, if the air compressor is used on the machine, the strength of the punching machine can be increased.In that case, some car shell shapes may be solved by machine stamping.

The more Luo Cheng thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't make intelligent electronic mechanical equipment, but he could make some hydraulic and pneumatic equipment.At least in terms of manufacturing, it will be more mechanized in the future, although after mechanization, many workers will be free.Workers cost less in terms of employment.But what Luo Cheng is doing is high-end mechanization in this era, even if there is no equipment, ordinary workers can't make it.And senior workers are too busy.

In fact, the military workshop brought by Director Zhao is more suitable for manufacturing machinery rather than making cars.Even engineers are mostly mechanical engineers, not automotive engineers.

This is not tied down by production matters, Luo Cheng has let himself go.I found the joy of modifying the car in the technical school. The car has not been modified, but it is also interesting to study some machinery.Especially with the air compressor, Luo Cheng unknowingly thought of many things of later generations.For example, refrigerators and air conditioners, although they are no longer doing business for automobile factories.But the main part of the refrigerator air conditioner is the compressor.

Luo Cheng's original idea of ​​producing cars was not to contribute to the automotive field, but to experience the feeling of others buying their products with receipts.Then, by the way, sell the car that you show off, get some welfare benefits, and improve your life.

And refrigerators and air conditioners are good things in hot weather.Luo Cheng is now the factory manager, with high wages and spending power.There are refrigerators and air conditioners, so you are not afraid of high electricity consumption in summer.

Therefore, Luo Cheng did not hold morning meetings with various departments, but called a few engineers from the military factory to the office every day to study the manufacture of the air compressor by the fire.

And Jiang Changyuan also brought a dynamic expert and many automobile engineers here on the third day after the deputy factory director Du Yongkang took office.

As for the addition of a deputy director of the automobile factory, Jiang Changyuan and the others didn't care at all. They were engineers, not ordinary workers.If you don't have great technology and are just a deputy factory director, everyone will not care about you at all.

We must know that a senior skilled worker dares to make a decision with the factory manager when faced with an unreasonable situation.However, senior technical workers will not easily make decisions on engineers. Most of the time, it is actually senior technical workers who work with engineers.One is the manual technology that practice makes perfect, and the other is the cultural science mind technology.That is mutual respect and cooperation, but the factory director and deputy factory director are just the managers of the factory and the workers' servants. Everyone can respect you, but they are not afraid of you.

So after Jiang Changyuan brought his people here, there was no distinction between him and the deputy factory manager. Even in terms of salary, their engineers got more.

Luo Cheng handed over the blueprint of the heavy-duty truck to Jiang Changyuan. As an automobile engineer, it was easy for anyone who came to see the problem. Such a large vehicle with such a high load capacity would be impossible to realize.But that's why Luo Cheng invited a dynamics expert to come over. He showed the blueprint and structural distribution diagram of the air brake to the teacher of Team Leader Jiang, and used the kinetic energy of the engine to convert it into the mechanical energy needed by the car through air compression.Whether it can meet the requirements of Luo Cheng.

And the teacher brought by Jiang Changyuan looked at the structural diagram of the pneumatic brake, his eyes lit up, and he continued to reason based on the data, and finally came to a theoretical conclusion that was feasible.But it is mainly a matter of strength, which depends on the power of the compressor.When I heard that the compressors were going to be built by myself, the teacher became interested.

The expert teacher who came here was not very interested in the rational structure of the truck. He was not studying cars.He studied at Harvard School abroad, where he studied dynamics.Dynamics involves a wide range of aspects, including various dynamic structures.

So when he heard that Luo Cheng planned to build an air compressor by himself, he was more excited than hearing that he was building a car.With the drawing of the compressor provided by Luo Cheng, this teacher with a problematic birth composition is a mild-mannered person, and he doesn't care about Jiang Changyuan and the others. He just goes to Director Zhao's workshop every day and follows the mechanical engineer to work on the compressor.

However, when Jiang Changyuan came here, he still completed the structure of the truck in the form of a group.Since they don't need to think about power, they can just operate according to the drawings. The current automobile factory is much stronger than when he first came here.

Even if you can't buy a machine with any function you want, you can still make it yourself.There are mechanical engineers in the factory, and they make machines.

The few sidecars and jeeps brought by the military factory can be used by Team Leader Jiang and the others.If you need any materials, you will go to the rolling mill. The design of the tires, what kind of bearings, how many, girders, etc., are all the work of Team Leader Jiang.
