Chapter 180: Back to Huaxia Again
Mountain city.
Near the famous Liberation Monument, it is crowded at the moment.
The employees of the hundreds of Jialing factories gathered here around the old factory director Sun Shoupeng, the chief engineer Cheng Xingming and other leaders in the factory......
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
"yes, didn't you say that you could rush back at 11 o'clock, why is it almost 11 o'clock, and there should be no one in sight?"
"It's more than 11 o'clock, 11:59:59 isn't it also 11 o'clock, it's not even 11 o'clock, what's the hurry?" said that he didn't need to be in a hurry, but his face was actually more anxious than anyone else.
"That being said, after all, this is a road of tens of thousands of kilometers, in case something happens on the road......," someone said worriedly.
It's just that before he finished his words, he was immediately tightly covered by his colleagues on the side: "Bah, baa, baa!
"It's just, what a nonsense......"
............
No wonder everyone's reaction to the gentleman is so big and excited, because the old and young of the Jialing factory, thousands of people know how difficult the test is carried out by the Jialing factory: this is an ultra-long-distance road test of tens of thousands of kilometers, and it is a long-distance road test that only changes the engine oil along the way, and will not carry out any overhaul of the engine.
Such a test not only has no precedent in the history of China's motorcycle industry, but also has no precedent in the history of China's automobile industry!
Domestic cars, whether it is a Dafang truck, or a 212 Jeep, a SH760 car or a big red flag car, have never had a precedent of tens of thousands of kilometers only for basic maintenance, even if it is known for its "durable" 212 Jeep, it is necessary to overhaul the engine and gearbox and transfer case after every 2,000 kilometers.
So what is the purpose of Jialing Factory's fanfare and effort to carry out this test?
In fact, it is very simple, in order to use this method that is extremely close to the actual use of the user, and even far exceeds the actual use of the user, to test the reliability and durability of the two motorcycle engines of the American Fernandez company, 175CC single cylinder and 350CC synchronous twin.
All the motorcycles are brand new vehicles shipped directly from the United States, only factory tested, and the actual test mileage is less than five kilometers after coming off the assembly line, and the entire fleet consists of more than 10 vehicles, including two-wheeled motorcycles equipped with 175cc and 350cc engines, as well as cargo three-wheeled motorcycles and passenger-carrying three-wheeled motorcycles equipped with these two engines, all of which have to be tested on real roads for long-distance driving.
In fact, although Chen Geng has repeatedly assured that such a test is no problem, and the two engines run more than 100,000 kilometers without any problem, whether it is unbelievable or out of insurance considerations, the Jialing factory still added three logistics support vehicles to this test fleet.
It's just funny to say, in the past two months, the more than a dozen two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles involved in the test, except for a few occasional tires that need to be repaired, there are no mechanical problems at all, but these three logistics vehicles have several major failures - when the team reported this matter to the leaders of the Jialing factory on the phone, the leaders of the Jialing factory were also extremely speechless.
Not only were the workers in the crowd worried, but in fact, the leaders of the Jialing factory were also worried, and the chief engineer Xingming gently pulled Sun Shoupeng's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Old Sun?"
Sun Shoupeng shook his head: "It's okay." ”
didn't see the convoy, Sun Shoupeng actually had some drums in his heart, but as the director of the Jialing factory and the secretary of the party branch of the factory, he couldn't mess up, he had to be stable.
As soon as the words fell, a person standing in front suddenly shouted excitedly: "It's coming!
Here it comes?
With the voice of the person in front, the crowd seemed to be suddenly pressed the mute switch, and it became extremely quiet in an instant, and the next moment, the crowd suddenly became vivid, and hurriedly looked forward.
It's really coming!
Looking at the convoy not far away that was slowly coming to this side, and standing in the cargo box of the three-wheeled motorcycle waving the red flag vigorously, the workers standing in front couldn't help but move forward, and the people standing behind also desperately squeezed forward, and the workers who couldn't squeeze simply jumped up in a hurry, just for that moment of sight.
"Old Sun, here, our convoy is back. As soon as Cheng Xingming grabbed Sun Shoupeng's hand, the whole person trembled with excitement.
"Yes, I'm back, I'm back," Sun Shoupeng kept nodding, his face was full of relief and relaxation: "It's finally back, it's not easy for comrades, they are all heroes!"
"That's right, they're all heroes!"
Cheng Xingming doesn't think that there is the slightest inappropriateness in this evaluation of Lao Sun, such a large convoy, relying on a national map, set off from the mountain city, circled around the republic, and arrived at the capital, and now there are many people and a lot of cars are back, this is a feat that has never been seen in the history of the motorcycle industry and the automobile industry of the republic, and the comrades of the Jialing factory who completed this feat are not heroes.
They deserve to be called heroes.
The director and secretary of the party branch of the Jialing factory and the chief engineer of the Jialing factory, the two were surrounded by everyone and walked towards the convoy in the lead, and the crowd walking behind had begun to wave the colorful flags.
The convoy slowly stopped in front of the crowd, and after more than two months of wind and sun, running and toiling, the tanned team captain and deputy factory director Ren Yong jumped down from the three-wheeled motorcycle at the head, and said loudly to Sun Shoupeng with the excitement in his heart: "Report to the factory director, there were 26 people when the long-distance test team of Jialing factory started, and now there are 26 people, 16 vehicles at the time of departure, and 16 vehicles now, we have successfully completed the specified test tasks and are glorious to come back!"
"Good! good!"
Sun Shoupeng shouted three times in a row, patted Ren Yong's shoulder excitedly, and then looked at the excited team members in front of him and said loudly: "Comrades, you have worked hard! On behalf of our Jialing Factory and our more than 3,000 comrades, I welcome you back with honor!"
..............................
Compared with Sun Shoupeng's excitement, Chen Geng's reaction was much calmer, and in the face of Sun Shoupeng, who was excited on the phone, Chen Geng said casually: "Isn't this normal? If I wasn't so confident in our products, I would insist that you do such a test?"
Sun Shoupeng: "......"
Do you know that you're going to talk to the sky like this?
If Chen Geng did not have full confidence in the quality and durability of their products, he would not have taken the initiative to suggest that Jialing Factory should do this long-distance durability test on these two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycle products.
"Well, it's us who underestimated the quality of Fernandez's products," Sun Shoupeng, who quickly adjusted his mood, complained that Chen Geng, a foreigner, really didn't understand the subtlety of Chinese tradition, while trying to keep up with the rhythm of the other party: "Mr. Chen, that's the case, we are very satisfied with your company's products, and we also hope to cooperate with you with great sincerity, you see, when will we meet for a meeting?"
Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "That's it, I'm going to go to Huaxia in a few days, and we'll talk about it then?"
"You want to come to Huaxia?" Sun Shoupeng was a little pleased.
For Sun Shoupeng and even Jialing Factory, going abroad for inspection is a very luxurious behavior, especially to the United States, the foreign exchange required is difficult to be approved, but if Chen Geng comes to China, then things are much simpler.
"Well, I have a cooperation with our first machine department to discuss. Chen Geng responded.
After half a year of running-in, the operation of the automobile dismantling plant in the capital has been on the right track, and according to Chen Geng's previous commitment and Huaxia's commitment, it is now time to start the second cooperation project: the cooperation plan of auto parts.
............
"Mr. Fernandez, are you going to Huaxia?"
When Chen Geng hung up the phone, Richard Carpenter asked Chen Geng with some surprise, Karen Carpenter did not speak, but was equally curious in his eyes: Huaxia?
The brother and sister came to express their gratitude to Chen Geng, the reason is that they know why Chrysler Motors invited their brother and sister to make product endorsements: I heard that Mr. Fernandez insisted on the pre-launch marketing meeting of that car, and they sent millions of dollars to their family, and of course they wanted to come to the door to express their gratitude.
"Well," Chen Geng said casually in the face of the surprised Carpenter siblings: "I have some investment in Huaxia. ”
"In this way, it seems that your business in Huaxia is very profitable. ”
"It's okay," Chen Geng said casually, "I'm actually more optimistic about the future development space of Huaxia." ”
Richard Carpenter didn't understand this, but looking at his emaciated sister, his heart suddenly moved: "Mr. Fernandez, can we go with you?"
"You guys?" Chen Geng was a little surprised.
Not only Chen Geng was a little surprised, but Karen Carpenter was also a little surprised: Why did my brother suddenly want to go to Huaxia?
"Yes, I'm with my sister," Richard Carpenter pointed to his sister Karen Carpenter who was sitting next to him, and said to Chen Geng: "After getting to know you, Cullen often told me about you, and was very interested in the mysterious Orient and some mysterious things in the Orient, influenced by Cullen, I am also very interested in the history of the Orient, if it is convenient for you, I hope to be able to go to China with you, to see the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and understand the culture and history of China......"
Chen Geng's eyes finally fell on the emaciated Karen Carpenter, who couldn't hide his lack of energy even with heavy makeup, and his heart was already clear: What is interested in Chinese history and culture, but it's just Richard's excuse, the real reason is for the health and health of his sister Karen, right?
