Chapter 32: Look down on auto mechanics

Wang Haibin sat down in the 212 jeepri with a depressed face.

As Li Weidong expected, Wang Haibin could not buy a car, even if he had the list approved by the transportation department.

Of course, the Yellow River Plant didn't say anything to death, they just said that the production capacity was insufficient, so there was no car for Wang Haibin for the time being, and Wang Haibin had to wait in line if he needed to pick up the car.

As for the waiting time, the Yellow River Plant is also relatively clear, and it will be able to mention the car in the middle of 1986.

Wang Haibin took the 1985 plan, but he couldn't mention the car until the middle of 1986.

Wang Haibin also knew that the Yellow River Factory didn't really have no inventory, and people just didn't want to sell the car to you, so they deliberately found an excuse to drag it first.

Holding the approval slip in the plan, but people don't give the goods, it is also an extremely rare thing for Wang Haibin. Wang Haibin also knows that those who dare to do this are all big factories with background and strength, even if they go to the Department of Transportation to complain, it has no effect.

"It's not that I, Wang Haibin, don't work hard, it's really that this Yellow River factory is too deceitful!" Wang Haibin took a deep breath with some resentment, the procurement task was not completed, and after returning to Qinghe, I am afraid that it will not be good to entertain the company's leaders.

As the Director of the Procurement Division, Wang Haibin is responsible for procuring various materials for transportation companies. Unplanned materials are sometimes in short supply, and it is understandable if they can't be procured, but if the planned materials can't be procured, then Wang Haibin himself has no ability.

Today's Wang Haibin is holding the planned slip, but he can't pick up the car, which is enough to make the company's leaders question his ability to work.

"I can only put the blame on the Yellow River Plant, and I just say that the production capacity of the Yellow River Plant is insufficient, and the car will not be mentioned until next year, and the Yellow River Plant gave me this reason anyway. Wang Haibin decided to dump the pot.

Starting the jeep, Wang Haibin drove to the guest house, he planned to leave Jicheng early tomorrow morning, leaving this place that made him depressed.

......

Li Weidong made a long-distance call to Cui Dashan and asked for a week's travel leave. On the phone, Li Weidong did not say that he wanted to help Wei Bin translate Japanese documents, but only said that the Yellow River Plant had some technical problems and needed his own help.

This excuse made Cui Dashan very puzzled, what technical problems can a repairman help the Yellow River Plant solve?

However, with Wei Bin as a guarantor, Cui Dashan did not embarrass Li Weidong, and happily agreed.

For Cui Dashan, Li Weidong is an idler in the workshop, there are not many of him, and there is no one without him, without Li Weidong wandering around in the workshop, Cui Dashan can still be idle in front of him.

In Cui Dashan's eyes, Li Weidong's value is to let himself take out a small red notebook.

So Li Weidong moved to the guest house of the Yellow River Factory to help Wei Bin translate the Japanese book.

The conditions of the Huanghechang Guest House are indeed very good, and the food in the guest house is also very rich. By the standards of the time, it was more than enough to receive foreign guests.

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Weidong has finished translating the Japanese document, and he plans to hand over to Wei Bin, resign by the way, and return to the Qinghe Transportation Company.

Li Weidong came to the repair workshop of the Yellow River Factory, but saw Liu Jinlong squatting in the sun and smoking.

"Brother Liu, is Director Wei here?" asked Li Weidong.

"Director Wei is in the office. Liu Jinlong opened his mouth to reply, and then beckoned to Li Weidong and motioned for Li Weidong to come over.

Li Weidong always came to Liu Jinlong, and Liu Jinlong said: "Be careful when you see Director Wei later, Director Wei is not in a good mood today." ”

"Why?" asked Li Weidong.

"There was a technical problem with the car, and the cause has not yet been found, and the engineers in the factory are also worried about this matter. Liu Jinlong replied.

Li Weidong did not inquire in detail, and Liu Jinlong, who he said goodbye to, went directly to Wei Bin's office.

"Director Wei, I have finished translating this book. Li Weidong looked at Wei Bin as he spoke, but found that Wei Bin had a pair of dark circles under the eyes of a panda and looked haggard.

"Director Wei, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind!" Li Weidong said.

"Hey, don't mention it, there was something wrong with a batch of cars, and I stayed up all night last night, but I still haven't found the reason. Wei Bin said.

"How many cars are there?" asked Li Weidong.

"Hundreds!" Wei Bin said, took off his eyes, rubbed Qingming's acupoint, and then said: "Many of the six and two heavy trucks produced by our factory last year were sold to Yankuang, and it was this batch of cars that had a problem, and the factory asked us to find a way to solve it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the normal production of Yankuang." ”

Li Weidong nodded to show that Yankuang is a national super-large enterprise and the top state-owned enterprise, and the supply of coal is related to people's livelihood and the normal operation of the economy, and ensuring the production of Yankuang is a political task.

Although the Yellow River Plant is a key enterprise in the province, it is only a younger brother in front of Yankuang, and if Yankuang stops operating, there will be no coal supply, and enterprises in North and Northeast China will be paralyzed.

Wei Bin continued: "Although Yankuang is urging very tightly, this is not what I am most worried about, what I am worried about is that our cars have some design defects, once that happens, it is not only the hundreds of cars sold to Yankuang, but the thousands of cars we produce have problems." ”

"If it's a vehicle design problem, I'm afraid it's going to be a large-scale recall......," Li Weidong said here, and suddenly remembered that there was no such thing as a "car recall" in China in the 80s.

"Car recalls? That's a developed country thing. There is no recall in our country. If there is a problem with the vehicle, it will either continue to drive at once, or it will simply stop production. ”

Wei Bin shook his head with a wry smile, and continued: "I thought I could rely on the six-two heavy truck to fight a turnaround, but I didn't expect that something went wrong, in the final analysis, our skills are not as good as others!"

Speaking of which, this is also a step too big. In fact, according to the original plan, we plan to use five years to understand Steyr's technology, and then imitate Steyr heavy trucks. ”

Wei Bin said this, put on his glasses again, and then said: "It's a pity that time is running out, the country has a demand for heavy trucks, and there is pressure on the efficiency above, and our factory also needs to survive, so it integrates Starr's technology with some of the original technologies of our factory to make a six-two heavy truck." Now that I think about it, this move was still too hasty, and we have not thoroughly studied many key technical issues. ”

Steyr heavy truck is Austria's technology in the seventies, but many of its core components are made of West German goods, so when the country was introduced in 83 years, this car can barely be regarded as a world-class level.

Responsible for the introduction of Steyr heavy trucks, is the China National Heavy Duty Truck Joint Venture Company at that time, the Sinotruk Joint Venture Company has three enterprises, not the Yellow River Plant, Shaanxi Automobile and Sichuan Automobile, that is, the future China National Heavy Duty Truck, Shaanxi Automobile and SAIC Hongyan.

These three companies gradually absorbed and digested Steyr's technology, and by the end of the eighties, they had been able to successfully imitate the localized Steyr truck.

Since then, the domestic Steyr has become the only symbol of China's heavy trucks, which has influenced China for 20 years, and throughout the 90s, all domestic heavy trucks are Steyr. When it comes to heavy-duty trucks in China, it refers to Steyr. Even today, Steyr's technology is still available in many domestic trucks.

The Yellow River factory once produced China's first heavy truck JN150, plus it has some technical reserves, so after getting Steyr's technology, it took a year to develop the Yellow River JN162 and put it on the market.

It's just that this hastily launched JN162, there are still a lot of small problems, and many technical problems have not been solved at all. The Yellow River plant is also producing while checking for faults and improving the design.

For the Yellow River Plant, if the JN162 heavy truck has serious technical defects, it will be a catastrophic consequence, the whole car will be discontinued, and the Yellow River Plant will be cool.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Yellow River Plant, Sinotruk Joint Venture Company, in order to introduce Steyr's technology, smashed 600 million US dollars of foreign exchange, and it must have to be heard.

Sinotruk joint venture company can wait less than a few years to slowly digest Steyr's technology, so it is imperative to launch the Yellow River JN162 to bring economic benefits as soon as possible. The car was built and sold very well, and the Sinotruk joint venture company was able to give an explanation to the country, indicating that the $600 million in precious foreign exchange was not spent in vain.

......

Knowing that there was an intractable fault in the unit-six two-heavy truck, Li Weidong was overjoyed in his heart, repairing cars is what he is good at, not to mention that he has a killer feature.

Li Weidong opened his mouth and asked, "Director Wei, can you tell me, what is wrong with your car?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. Many of the cars that Yankuang bought had automatic disconnection in four gears. Wei Bin said.

Li Weidong thought for a while and said: "If it is only the fourth gear automatic disgear, it is very likely that there is a problem with the gears of the fourth gear of the gearbox." ”

"It's new, it's useless. It's still out of gear that's supposed to be out of gear. Wei Bin shook his head.

Just then, there was a quarrel outside the office.

"As I said, there must be something wrong with the gear bushing. ”

"Changing to a new gear bushing, isn't it different to be out of gear? I want to say, it's a matter of the gear. ”

"Hasn't the geargauge also been replaced, and the fault is still there, so it's still a problem with the gear bushing, which should be a defect in the design, and we didn't take it into account. ”

"Then I can also say that the gearshift gauge is defective!"

In the office, Wei Bin frowned, stood up and walked out of the door, and saw two engineers in their thirties, standing in front of a broken car, arguing fiercely.

"Why did Zhang Gong and Wang Gong quarrel again. Wei Bin sighed helplessly, and then walked over.

Seeing Wei Bin coming over, the two young engineers stopped arguing.

"Keep arguing, why don't you make noise?" Wei Bin said with a straight face.

The two smiled awkwardly, obviously a little afraid of Wei Bin, and one of them said, "Wei Gong, we didn't quarrel, we just had a technical exchange." I think it's the design of the gear bushing that should be improved. ”

"No, it's a design flaw in the gearguide. The other immediately retorted.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Weidong had quietly walked to the broken car.

The cockpit of the car had been turned open, revealing the mechanical parts inside.

The Huanghe JN162 adopts a reversible cockpit design, which is very friendly for car mechanics, and the repairman no longer has to climb up and down to drill the engine compartment.

Li Weidong looked into the engine compartment and found that the gearbox of the car had been disassembled, revealing the gears inside.

"Is the fourth gear automatically out of gear?" Li Weidong frowned, as if he was caught in a memory.

After a while, Li Weidong seemed to remember something.

I saw Li Weidong open his mouth and say, "Director Wei, two teachers, I think I already know the cause of the failure." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Weidong at the same time, and the two engineers realized that the young man in front of them was a fresh face.

"Wei Gong, who is this?" asked Wang Gong first.

"This is a friend of mine who came to do me a little favor and translate some documents. Wei Bin said casually.

"Translator, is he a college student at Handong University?" asked Zhang Gong this time.

Li Weidong shook his head: "No, I'm an auto mechanic." ”

Zhang Gong and Wang Gong's expressions changed at the same time, and their eyes involuntarily revealed a wisp of disdain.

Wang Gong even opened his mouth and said: "We are now discussing the problem of gearbox design, you are an auto mechanic, don't come to make trouble." ”

"These two engineers look down on me as an auto mechanic!" Li Weidong shook his head helplessly, it seems that he has to show his hands today.
