The second automobile factory, that is, we often call the second automobile, until 1969 began to be built in Shiyan, Hubei Province, at first it was started with Dongfeng brand trucks, and then gradually introduced Citroen's Fukang car and Elysee car, the production scale and business scope of the second automobile also expanded.

SAIC's Santana, FAW's Fukang and FAW's Jetta are known as the "old three" of China's auto market, which have an indelible role in the development of the domestic automobile industry.

The construction of the second automobile was originally proposed in 1952, but it went through a series of twists and turns, and it was not until 1969 that construction began. Throughout the eighties, is a turning point in the development of the second automobile, with Dongfeng series products as a link, the second automobile set up a cross-departmental, cross-provincial Dongfeng automobile industry joint venture, and on this basis, expanded its own production capacity, in one fell swoop surpassed the FAW at that time, becoming the largest domestic production scale of the automobile manufacturer.

After entering the nineties, the second automobile officially changed its name to Dongfeng Motor Company, and steadily occupied one of the "three big" in the domestic "three big and three small" automobile pattern, and in the subsequent time, moved its headquarters to the capital city of Hubei Province.

It is worth mentioning that the establishment of the second automobile is also inseparable from the support of Rao Bin, and it makes sense to call Rao Bin the "father of Chinese automobiles".

When Zhou Jingming and his entourage arrived in Shiyan, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, there was Wudang Mountain in the north, Shiyan of Shenlongjia in the south, at this time there was only one railway and one highway leading in, commonly known as "nine mountains, half water, half of the field", the second automobile was built successfully under such difficult conditions.

"If I hadn't come here in person, I really couldn't believe that the famous Second Automobile in our country was actually here. After getting out of the car, He Yingxun glanced around and said with emotion.

The only train station looks dilapidated and surrounded by mountains, and it doesn't look like an industrial city at all.

"Now it's much better than before, you don't know, when the construction first started in 69, it was called hardship, there was no railway at that time, all the construction materials were carried by the workers hand in hand, before they were transported to the mountain, dozens of tons of heavy equipment, the workers just put logs underneath, and they were pulled to the construction site by relying on manpower. Wang Shuo said this, and the memories of the past suddenly came to his mind again,

"At that time, the construction army from more than 100,000 people across the country, under such conditions, the second automobile was built, that scene, now I can't think of it, the second automobile can have its current status, inseparable from the wise decision-making and leadership of the Party Central Committee, and also inseparable from the support of the broad masses of the people!"

People who have not experienced the period of national entrepreneurship in the sixties and seventies will not experience this feeling.

"Uncle Wang was also involved in the construction of the Second Automobile at that time?" Zhou Jingming asked curiously.

Wang Shuo knows so much about the construction process of the Second Automobile, works in Nanqi, but has people who know him in the Second Automobile, Zhou Jingming guessed that he should have participated in the construction at that time.

"Hmm. Wang Shuo smiled and nodded, "I was just in my early twenties, after hearing the news that the country was going to build the second automobile, I came to Shiyan with a few good friends, and came to Shiyan with enthusiasm, where I worked for eight years, and then because of the job transfer, I came to Nanqi and stayed until now, so this time I came, it can be regarded as going home to visit relatives." ”

"When I used to be at home, my dad liked to tell me about these things, over and over again, and I would recite what I heard, and you see, if there is a first time, there will be a second time. Wang Yuanchao on the side also said with a smile.

When Wang Yuanchao said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

There was talk and laughter along the way, and the group soon came to the factory of the second automobile, and the person in charge of receiving them was a young man in his twenties, who looked about the same age as Zhou Jingming.

"Director Hu is in a meeting, let me entertain you on your behalf, you can follow me to Director Hu's office to rest for a while. As the man spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jingming, always feeling as if he had seen this person somewhere.

Hu Yulou, then the deputy director of the Second Automobile, was in charge of the factory's production and technology.

"That's trouble. Wang Shuo smiled and nodded.

After coming to Hu Yulou's office, Wang Yuanchao and He Yingxun immediately sat down and ran around for a day, both of them were tired.

There were only two people, Zhou Jingming and Wang Shuo, but they couldn't help but walk to the photos hanging on the wall, and looked at them carefully one by one, these photos were all taken from the 70s, which is very old.

"Lao Wang, you are back, you still know that you are back!" Not long after, a strong voice came from outside the office, and then, a figure also hurriedly walked in.

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

"Old Hu, you want to kill me!" Wang Shuo heard this, and also hugged Hu Yulou, who walked into the house, and said emotionally.

Wang Yuanchao and He Yingxun, who were sitting there, also stood up immediately.

"Do you want me to come back to see me?" Hu Yulou punched Wang Shuo in the back and said angrily.

"You're busy with work, didn't you just come back from a meeting. After the two separated, Wang Shuo said helplessly.

"By the way, Lao Hu, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Jingming, a typical example established in our department, you should know it. Wang Shuo pointed to Zhou Jingming on the side and introduced.

As soon as Wang Shuo said this, Hu Yulou couldn't help but look at Zhou Jingming, for this model, he had already heard of it, and had to admit that everything Zhou Jingming did did make an indelible contribution to the development of the domestic automobile industry, which is worth learning from everyone!

"It's much stronger than in the photo!" Hu Yulou smiled, and then stretched out his calloused right hand, "Welcome to the second automobile, Comrade Xiao Zhou!"

"Thank you, Director Hu!" Zhou Jingming hurriedly shook his hand and said. For these veteran comrades who have participated in the construction of FAW and FAW, Zhou Jingming has the greatest respect.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shuo successively introduced He Yingxun and Wang Yuanchao to Hu Yulou, and then a group of people sat down.

"Lao Wang has already told me on the phone yesterday afternoon about your intention to come this time, and I also asked someone to inquire about how you are looking for the gear factory, to be honest, it is very good, and it is very famous in Shencheng. After Hu Yulou sat down, he said to everyone with a smile.

"Our mission is to provide China with the best transmission gears, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed. He Yingxun hurriedly replied.

"To be honest, I would like to switch to the gears you produce, the quality is good, and it was brought by Lao Wang. Hu Yulou paused, and suddenly changed his words, "But you have also seen that our transportation here is very inconvenient, and the entry and exit of goods are very troublesome. ”

"At this point, Director Hu can rest assured, as long as Director Hu is willing to use our gears, we can open a branch here in the second automobile. Zhou Jingming hurriedly said.

"Director Hu, send back a military vehicle from the Sino-Vietnamese border, saying that there is a problem, please hurry over and take a look. Hu Yulou was just about to speak, and the young man who was in charge of receiving Zhou Jingming and them hurriedly walked in and said.
