Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 238: Drawing fire from under the cauldron?

On Friday, May 5, in the large conference room of the First Machinery Department, the overall structural design drawings and physical objects of the engine, gearbox, and chassis were all placed on the big table.

Commander Xie, the representative of the Military Commission, sat motionless with a straight face after explaining the Military Commission's road test of the modified jeep over the past month.

Leader Fang of the technology import team put his hands on his hands and smiled, "I can't believe it! I really can't believe it!"

"We still have to give full play to the enthusiasm and creativity of the masses!" Team Leader Fang spoke first, "Judging from the road test results of the modified Jeep described by Mr. Xie, the technology of this newly designed Jeep is excellent. It’s all realistic and feasible!”

"Commander Duan, what do you think of the technical feedback results from the Machinery Research Institute of the First Ministry of Machinery?"

Chief Duan frowned and sighed, and passed the analysis report in his hand to others, "Dean Zhou Jiannan organized the engineers of the institute to read it! The design drawings are very professional and detailed! All structures and components are marked. Calculation formulas, tension, strength, etc., no problem!”

“Dean Zhou was particularly impressed by the designer’s strong design ability and calculation skills!”

“But now the problem lies in the processing technology of large-scale production!”

"In small-scale manufacturing, we mobilize the spirit of workers who are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Manual processing and assembly are no problem! But when it comes to large-scale production,"

"Oh, there are so many technical problems to be solved!"

"Material properties, processing accuracy, and processing technology of parts"

After hearing this, Team Leader Fang was not discouraged but laughed loudly: "Haha! As long as we have it, the French will not be able to offer high prices!"

“Because they know that if they don’t sell it to us now, we may be able to fully produce it ourselves in a few years!”

"These capitalists are very smart!"

"Chief Ye, what do you think? Let's cooperate well this time?"

Chief Ye from the Central Department of Trade also nodded in agreement with a smile on his face, "That's right!"

"The vehicle purchase price of the French company Bellier is not bad. The key is technology transfer. They just asked for more than 600 million US dollars!"

"If we have the technology for off-road vehicles, at least in terms of technology transfer, they will definitely have to cut prices!"

"By the way, I will bring this designer along with me when we negotiate with France this time. I believe it will play a greater role in the negotiations!" Chief Ye is indeed someone who has dealt with capitalism all the time. "Mr. Duan, this designer What’s the name of a comrade?”

After hearing Chief Duan say the name Gu Weijun, Chief Ye immediately repeated in surprise, "Gu Weijun?", and immediately asked for confirmation: "Is he a student from Tsinghua University?"

Leader Duan was shocked by Leader Ye's reaction. Is this classmate so energetic? He quickly asked: "How come Chief Ye also knows him?"

Chief Ye said with a wry smile, "This classmate is amazing!"

"Did you hear that the production line under construction at the Jingcheng Pharmaceutical Factory is preparing to produce a new type of stomach medicine? It was this classmate who worked with the Peking University Institute of Chemistry to create it!"

"At that time, a certain leader of Peking University did not agree to the patent registration. Gu Weijun directly approached Leader Zhou through his teachers Qian Weichang and Qian Xuesen and strongly requested that the patent be registered abroad!"

"That's why our Central Ministry of Trade specifically asked China Resources to understand the patent application process in capitalist countries and register it specifically!"

Finally, Chief Ye added, "The last leader of Peking University met a very bad end. As soon as he started preparing for operations and was transferred out of Peking University, he was reported by a classmate from the Philosophy Department of Peking University and pulled out of his post. Now he has gone to the west to eat sand. "

After saying this, Chief Ye turned to look at Team Leader Fang and asked teasingly: "Team Leader Fang, he still doesn't know that his design drawings are going to be taken out by you to negotiate with the French, right?"

Team leader Fang shook his head in confusion. Our country also has products and technologies that require patent registration? Is it reliable?

"Old Fang, you must ask this clearly!"

"Otherwise Qian Xuesen and Qian Weichang will go to see Leader Zhou again, and everyone will lose face!"

"In addition, I mentioned the technology introduction negotiation and let Gu Weijun participate in the negotiation team. You should also consider it!"

"This kid is very evil." Team Leader Fang felt nervous and nodded quickly, "Okay, Chief Ye, I will go to the Mechanical Research Institute of the First Ministry of Machinery later to ask about the patent issue of this technology." Team Leader Fang I don’t even want to go to Shijingshan to see Gu Weijun in person. It’s too scary.

Chief Duan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he felt bitter in his heart. This man had already gone to file a complaint, otherwise this analysis report might not have been released.

The work done by the Beijing Automobile Factory is too unreliable.

Shijingshan Factory Director Zhou's request came to mind again, and Chief Duan really considered this question: Will the integration of Jingcheng Auto Parts Factory and Shijingshan Mechanical Repair Branch Factory have a good result?

Although the Jingcheng Auto Parts Factory far exceeds the machine repair branch in both level and scale, with the machine repair factory or Gu Weijun's technology, will there be new leaps and improvements in technology?

After Chief Lu heard the news, he glanced at Chief Duan in surprise, "Is there such a thing?" Can anything go directly to heaven? Who dares to ask for such an employee? Old Duan, I’d better go to your Machinery Department.

Commander Xie of the Military Commission directly turned to the last page of the analysis report: the technical verification results of the Machinery Research Institute. He lowered his head and glanced at it before knocking on the table. He said very seriously, "Now the technical conclusion is OK. Our Chief of Staff Luo needs to know clearly that this The mass production problem of the new Jeep!”

"When will it be produced? How many vehicles will the mass production be per year?"

"If Jingcheng Automobile Factory can't do it!"

"Then do something you can do!"

"Such as Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant!"

The head of the First Machinery Department decisively stopped him, "Commander Xie! This is inappropriate!"

"Jingcheng Automobile Factory has been developing off-road vehicles since 61. It has been dedicated to the industry for so many years, constantly conducting road tests and making continuous improvements. Last year, it also produced some for our troops!"

"Mr. Xie, our domestic automobile industry has a weak foundation. We need to give our factory enough time!"

"Jingcheng Automobile Factory has always been proactive in preparing to provide the best jeeps to our troops!"

"Don't worry, you Military Commission!" Commander Duan suggested euphemistically, "We will conduct a thorough investigation again, and at the same time conduct a survey on the supporting factories in the capital!"

"Of course we will also forward the opinions of the Military Commission to the Jingcheng Automobile Factory and the Jingcheng City Government!"

"The Military Commission must also have a sufficient understanding of the research and development work of the Beijing Automobile Factory!"

Commander Xie glanced at the leaders of various departments in the office, and continued with a serious face: "When it comes to this point, I will start conveying the opinions of the Military Commission again!"

"The Military Commission allocated a large amount of funds to ask the Beijing Automobile Factory to develop light off-road vehicles!"

"In a few years, will we get this result? Will it still be finalized?"

"Is it because our Military Commission does not have enough support or is it that we do not have enough patience?"

"Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, without our funding, and without the support of the Ministry of Machinery and the Beijing City Government, was able to design an off-road vehicle in a short period of time with performance that completely surpasses that of the 212 Jeep!"

"Your first machine department has also been verified and tested, and the technology is mature and can be realized!"

"Is it Shi Jingshan's problem or Jingcheng Automobile Factory's problem?"

“Is there any bureaucracy involved?”

“This is definitely something to consider!”

As soon as this statement came out, the entire conference room fell silent. No one dared to answer the word "bureaucracy"!

Moreover, they are not sure whether this problem exists at the Jingcheng Automobile Factory?

In particular, Jingcheng Automobile Factory always boasts that it has more than a dozen technicians to develop the "Jinggangshan" car. You must know that Jingcheng Automobile Factory is a large factory with more than 8000 people!

In order to support the development of off-road vehicles by Jingcheng Automobile Factory, the First Machinery Department also specially provided the data of the Yangtze River 46 off-road vehicle from Changan Automobile Factory to Jingcheng Automobile Factory. However, so far, the development work of the 212 Jeep has not stopped!

Jingcheng Automobile Factory insists on using the "Jinggangshan" chassis, and problems of one kind or another will still occur during the testing of prototype cars!

In contrast, the efficiency of Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant is simply unimaginable!

Produce drawings, produce physical objects, and then road test

Especially the road test, judging from the feedback from the Military Commission during this period, the performance of this Jeep is so excellent and reliable!

Fortunately, Jingcheng Automobile Factory did not rest on its laurels. After learning that Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant had designed an excellent jeep, it took the initiative to contact the Machinery Research Institute for technical reference.

This is also the reason why the results of the technical analysis report of the Machinery Research Institute came out so slowly.

It’s been a month. How is the technology absorbed by Beijing Automobile Factory?

After the meeting, Chief Duan called Secretary Feng of the Beijing Automobile Factory, "Secretary Feng, this is Chief Duan."

"Tell me honestly, how is your technology absorption going?"
