Chapter 966: Struggling
"I'd like to see your replica Santana gearbox. Duan Yun said.
"Okay, I'll take Manager Duan to take a look. Jia Zhiqiang said to Duan Yun.
"You should change your tune, you are the manager, I am just the technical consultant of your factory. Duan Yun said with a smile.
"Isn't that what I'm calling for a smooth mouth? Jia Zhiqiang said with some embarrassment.
After all, Jia Zhiqiang has just served as this manager for less than half a year, but the management work is mainly in charge of the secretary Jiang Jianhua, and Jia Zhiqiang's main work is technical, so when facing the old boss, he can't help but call Duan Yun the manager.
"In fact, Manager Jia worked very hard during this time, working overtime almost every day, and continued to draw in the dormitory at night. Jiang Jianhua said with some emotion.
When Duan Yun left, Jiang Jianhua did not think that Jia Zhiqiang had the ability to manage the labor service company, but this was an appointment from his superiors, and he could not disobey it.
In Jiang Jianhua's view, although Jia Zhiqiang is over 30 years old, his management experience and skills are far inferior to Duan Yun, lacking some tactfulness and adaptability, and the two usually have no personal relationship in interests, so after Duan Yun left, Jiang Jianhua originally continued to mess around, but seeing Jia Zhiqiang working so hard, this also made him a little moved, and took the initiative to contract the management of the factory, so that he could devote himself to technical work.
"It should be, it should be. Jia Zhiqiang said repeatedly.
I don't know the price of firewood and rice, I think that when Jia Zhiqiang first came to the collective, he looked down on Duan Yun a little in his heart, and he didn't even call Duan Yun a manager, but called him "Xiao Duan".
But after a period of getting along, after Duan Yun left, Jia Zhiqiang, who became a manager, felt a lot of pressure, he always thought that being a manager was a very simple thing, nothing more than an occasional meeting to supervise the work of workers, but in fact he found that the workers of state-owned enterprises are not easy to manage, the rules and regulations are difficult to strictly enforce, and they do not understand human feelings and do not command people at all.
Fortunately, with Jiang Jianhua's help, he was able to secure the position of manager, but remembering that Duan Yun could have such a high reputation in the labor service company at a young age, the more he thought about it, the more he admired it, so after meeting, he was a little more respectful to Duan Yun.
The three of them left the office and went to the workshop.
At this time, the workers who were working in the workshop also showed a little surprise when they saw Duan Yun, and they stopped what they were doing one after another, and greeted Duan Yun with a smile.
This made Duan Yun somewhat moved, no matter what, there are still a lot of human feelings among the front-line workers in this kind of state-owned enterprise, but the workers working in the organs are very powerful, far inferior to these workers working in the workshop.
In fact, this is also very easy to understand, once people are more idle at work, they like to ponder, ponder superiors, ponder colleagues, intrigue things happen from time to time, but workers work to get money, there are not so many troubles about deceit, who is good to them can remember, of course, things are not absolute, but in general, front-line workers do have a "conscience" than the staff of the agency.

In a dispatch room next to the car, Duan Yun saw several sample gearboxes on the fitter's table.
"This is the finished product that we made from the transmission of the Santana car in Germany. Jia Zhiqiang pointed to the finished two gearboxes on the table with his hand and said to Duan Yun.
"Uh......" Duan Yun glanced at it, then stepped forward and began to fiddle with the gearbox.
Jiang Jianhua called two workers to come over to help, disassembled one of the finished gearboxes, and placed the gears inside neatly on the fitter's table one by one for Duan Yun to watch.
"These are the drawings and technical specifications of the original product of the Santana Automotive Transmission. Jia Zhiqiang took out the drawings and materials from the data cabinet at this time and put them in front of Duan Yun.
After Duan Yun picked up the drawing and looked at it, he picked up the calipers and began to inspect the various parts.
"The accuracy is okay......" After half a sound, Duan Yun put down the tool in his hand and nodded and said.
"In order to make these two samples we have a lot of effort, our factory machine tool processing accuracy is not enough, there are several important gear parts are relying on the experience and technology of the master, a little bit grinding out, scrapped several sets, and gear fatigue resistance and hardness are not up to standard, and the original gearbox parts are very far apart, the life is only less than 15 of the original parts, especially in the high temperature environment, the wear is very bad, we have repeatedly experimented and improved the heat treatment process several times, but always can not meet the parameters of the original gearbox......" Jia Zhiqiang said with a frown.
Jia Zhiqiang initially thought that copying the Santana gearbox was a very easy thing, because Duan Yun's imitation of the German Lada sedan gearbox was very smooth, and after a little improvement, it became the best-selling Longteng gearbox series in Southeast Asia, so after Duan Yun left, he immediately invested most of his time and energy in the research and development of the Santana car gearbox.
However, after a few months, the progress of research and development was very slow, and the difficulty of the work was far more difficult than he imagined.
One of the biggest problems is that there is no money in the factory.
State-owned enterprises are generally not short of money, all products are purchased and sold, although the labor service company can export to earn foreign exchange, but most of the profits are taken away by the state, and the enterprise itself is very little, when Duan Yun developed the leading gearbox series, many times he posted money to engage in research and development, and Jia Zhiqiang is not as rich as Duan Yun, every one of his research and development funds must be approved by the superior leaders, and the money is not in place, and the research and development work can only be temporarily stopped, so the efficiency is very slow.
In addition to the Santana car gearbox. The technical content is one level higher than the Longteng gearbox, which is the advancement from low-end products to the main products of international brands, although it can rely on skilled workers to make gearbox products with similar precision, but making samples and mass production are completely different things, which is still 108,000 miles away, handmade things, expensive, low output, no market competitiveness at all.
As for the heat treatment process and raw materials, it is also difficult to solve the problem, there is no domestic manufacturer that can produce the steel used in the transmission gear of Santana automobiles, and even the steel used to make the shell of the Santana automobile gearbox is not available in China, so at present, Jia Zhiqiang can only use the special steel ordered by Duan Yun from Handan Iron and Steel Plant, but this kind of material can obviously not be compared with the material of Santana gearbox just now.
As for improving the heat treatment process, it is a money-burning thing, Jia Zhiqiang and several of his college students are graduates of mechanical engineering, but the improvement of raw materials and heat treatment process requires talents and experts in the material department, and this kind of talent is not yet available in the factory.
Among the five retired professors Duan Yun hired before, there was an associate professor in the Department of Materials, but Duan Yun could not easily borrow such a talent, because he himself was also preparing to develop new products for the Longteng Machinery Factory in Shenzhen.
