Chapter Ninety-One: A New Mission

Feng Xiaochen followed Feng Li back to Tongchuan by long-distance bus, and only said to Tongchuan's relatives that he was coming back to worship his ancestors and pay respects to the New Year. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Feng Weiren has no brothers and sisters, but has a large group of cousins, who have also walked around each other in the past, and some of them have a very good relationship with Feng Li. This time when they went back, Feng Li and Feng Xiaochen stayed at one of Feng Li's cousins' house, and then went out to visit other relatives every day, and they were greeted by a banquet everywhere.

Among the relatives, there are all those who make a living, except for some who are farming in the countryside, and there are more than ten or twenty people who work in the county seat, and they are quite familiar with the people in the county town. Feng Li and Feng Xiaochen found these people together, chatted with them privately one by one, and inquired about people and things in the county, but they quickly learned a lot of information they wanted.

The situation of the Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory introduced by the relatives is similar to what Yang Haifan said: the technical strength is weak, except for two or three old workers, whose skills are passable, the rest of the workers are basically able to cope with it. In fact, the county's agricultural machinery factory was originally a tinkering job, and the technical requirements for workers were not high, which led to the current situation.

The director of the agricultural machinery factory is an old man, he has no culture, he can't say that he has any management ability, and he doesn't have a strong background in the county. Feng Xiaochen believed that if he wanted to engage in a joint venture with the agricultural machinery factory, he didn't need to speak, Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing would transfer the old man away first, saving him from making mistakes.

Regarding Yang Haifan's situation, Feng Xiaochen also focused on what he wanted to know. Among the relatives, there are four or five who know Yang Haifan, and one of them works in the county party committee, which is Yang Haifan's indirect subordinate, and knows a lot about Yang Haifan. These people all said that Yang Haifan was the most knowledgeable young man in the county party committee, and his education level after graduating from high school was not low back then, and there were several workers, peasants, and soldiers in the county, and their level was far inferior to him.

Yang Haifan's character has also been recognized by everyone, and everyone thinks that he is a relatively "decent" person, which is the standard often used when evaluating character back then. According to the views of the locals in Tongchuan, Yang Haifan is a person who has seen the world in Pujiang, how can he worry about people in a small place like Tongchuan, and there are a lot of adults.

Feng Li and Feng Xiaochen's investigation work in Tongchuan County fell into the field of vision of Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing from the beginning, but they did not intervene, but let it go. Yang Haifan returned to Tongchuan after talking to Feng Xiaochen once, and he told the two leaders that the people of the Feng family were already inclined to run the enterprise in Tongchuan County, and it was reasonable to do some investigation before landing, and the county should not intervene.

During his stay in Tongchuan County, Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan met two more times, and the content of the conversation was even more in-depth. Yang Haifan made a more formal policy speech to Feng Xiaochen, which made Feng Xiaochen finally make up his mind and promised that the future joint venture could hire Yang Haifan as the Chinese factory director.

Then, Yang Haifan didn't know how to persuade Fan Yongkang, so that Fan Yongkang agreed that if the joint venture was established, Yang Haifan would be assigned to be the director of the agricultural machinery factory, and then logically transferred to the Chinese director of the joint venture factory. When Yang Haifan mentioned this matter to Fan Yongkang, he revealed that he was willing to make sacrifices for the cause of the county. According to his words, the Feng family was worried that the incompetence of the Chinese factory director sent by Tongchuan would affect the operation of the joint venture. After thinking about it, he felt that only by serving as the director of the factory could he meet the requirements of the Feng family. In order to convince the Feng family, he was willing to give up his position as deputy director of the county party committee office and take up a post in the enterprise.

Yang Haifan's statement made Fan Yongkang quite moved. The agricultural machinery factory is a subordinate enterprise of the county economic commission, and the director of the factory is just a unit-level cadre, not only can not be compared with the deputy director of the county party committee office in terms of level, but also the gap between the enterprise cadres and the cadres of the organs, and the gold content of the two can not be half a star.

Yang Haifan's willingness to give up the deputy section level of the agency and go to the troubled waters of the joint venture is extremely valuable. Fan Yongkang promised Yang Haifan that the county would retain his rank, and if he did not want to stay in the joint venture at any time, the county would send someone else to replace him, and at the same time restore his current rank and treatment. Regarding Fan Yongkang's promise, Yang Haifan naturally said a lot of grateful compliments.

After straightening out the relationship on Tongchuan's side, Feng Xiaochen went to Dongshan City and had a showdown with the DS District Committee and the Executive Office. He made up a story that Feng Weiren had always had a wish before he died, that is, he wanted to build a business in his hometown of Tongchuan County. After Yan Leqin got in touch with the children in China, she was determined to fulfill this wish for Feng Weiren, so there was a joint venture. Since it was Feng Weiren's last wish, there was naturally no room for negotiation, and Feng Xiaochen repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the Dongshan area's proposal to put the joint venture in Dongshan City, and then rejected it.

At this point, Xie Kai and Yu Changrong also gave up their efforts, expressing their respect for Feng Weiren's last wishes and supporting the establishment of this joint venture in Tongchuan County. In front of Feng Xiaochen, they instructed Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing, who accompanied Feng Xiaochen to Dongshan City, that they must do a good job in supporting services, and that foreign businessmen feel at home, invest happily, and make money happily.

The leveling of the Dongshan area and Tongchuan County is just the beginning. There are still many procedures to go through in the matter of joint ventures. First of all, Feng Hua wants to buy a company in Germany as a shell to cover the investment of funds that belong to Feng Xiaochen in China. Secondly, the joint venture needs to be approved by the country's foreign investment management commission, and then apply for a license from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce before it can be built. Although Meng Fanze has promised to help with these things, it will still take some time to complete the various procedures.

It was impossible for Feng Xiaochen to stay in Nanjiang and wait for these procedures to be completed, his family leave was only two weeks, and only in Tongchuan and Dongshan, he spent a week. He told Feng Li and Yang Haifan to continue to do all kinds of preparatory work, while he took his luggage and returned to the capital on the train.

"I'm back, how's my family?"

Seeing Feng Xiaochen who appeared in front of him, Luo Xiangfei asked him with a smile. Some time ago, Luo Xiangfei had been promoted to the director of the Metallurgical Bureau, responsible for the overall work.

"It's all good, my parents even asked me to bring you some souvenirs. Feng Xiaochen said, and put some rice cakes, salted duck eggs and other things he brought from home in the corner of Luo Xiangfei's office. These things are not worth much, they are very normal human relations, Luo Xiangfei just said politely, and accepted it silently.

The two chatted a few more words, and Luo Xiangfei turned to the topic and said:

"Xiao Feng, you came back at the right time. The introduction of the 1780 rolling mill has been handed over to the Metallurgical Design Institute to negotiate, and our Metallurgical Bureau does not have much to do until they negotiate a result with the German side. During this period of time, our main work is to speed up the industrial experiment of 120 tons of electric wheel dump trucks, which should have been pushed a long time ago. ”

"Electric wheel dump truck, is it the one that Director Wang did in the past?" Feng Xiaochen asked, and the Director Wang he was talking about was none other than Wang Weilong. As for the 120-ton dump truck, he has heard Wang Weilong say it many times.

Large dump trucks are an important piece of equipment in open-pit mines, which need to have a large load capacity and be able to walk freely in the harsh road conditions of the mine. There are two transmission modes of dump trucks, namely mechanical transmission and electric transmission, compared with the former, the operation of electric transmission is more flexible, and the transmission force is greater and the reliability is stronger. In the electric drive mode, it is divided into two categories, one is to install the drive motor in the rear axle housing of the car, and the other is directly installed in the wheel, which is the so-called electric wheel dump truck.

The earliest electric wheel structure was produced in the 50s of the 20th century and was invented by the Americans. This design is to integrate the electric motor, deceleration mechanism, braking device, etc. in the hub of the wheel, eliminating the traditional clutch, transmission, final reducer, differential and other components, thereby simplifying the vehicle structure and improving the transmission efficiency.

Wang Weilong's former Luoqiu Metallurgical Machinery Factory in Zhongyuan Province is one of the key enterprises in the metallurgical system, and has been producing and manufacturing electric transmission mining equipment since the 50s. At the end of the 60s, Luoye successfully trial-produced the first 45-ton electric wheel dump truck in China, accumulating valuable experience. In the 70s, with the increase in the country's demand for ore, mines have also put forward new requirements for large-scale mining equipment, and electric wheel dump trucks of more than 100 tons are one of them.

In the mid-70s, with the support of several ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Machinery, Luo Ye carried out the development of a 120-ton electric wheel dump truck. Due to the lack of technical information that can be used for reference, coupled with the weak domestic industrial base, the hardships experienced in the development of this dump truck are unimaginable to outsiders. Just a small aspect: in order to find accessories that can be used on dump trucks, Wang Weilong, the deputy director of the technical department, had to work as a buyer himself, and his footsteps traveled all over China.

After three years of hard work, the first 120-ton electric wheel dump truck finally rolled off the assembly line, much to the joy of Luoqiu's workers and technicians. The newspaper also reported the good news one after another, using a lot of sensational expressions such as "zero breakthrough" or "opening a new chapter".

But what happened next was something that everyone didn't expect. The dump truck was built, but no mine could be found willing to accept it for industrial experimentation. For two years, this behemoth, which is 11 meters long, 6 meters wide and 5 meters high, has been quietly squatting in Luoye's factory, unable to show its skills.
