At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhou Aifu and Yang Quan, who had breakfast, took the 2107 arranged by Wu Hao and rushed all the way to the bus station.

Between 1984 and '86, China experienced a peak in the import of sedans, during which a number of Lada 2107 were imported, which was more refined in workmanship than the GAZ 24 "Volga" of the same period.

In order to arrange the reception, Wu Hao bought a Lada 2107 in the name of the unit in 85 years, and the price was not expensive as long as 30,000 2. The current car is not an ordinary car, when I bought a car in 85, it was still 30,000 yuan, and after a few years, the cost of buying a car would have to double.

In 1985, it was not easy for a Chinese model to buy a car, and today's 4S exhibition hall still does not know where it is, and it is only when you pay the purchase price to pick up the car that you can see your car.

Moreover, it is not enough to have money, but also to prove to the relevant government departments that they really need a car as a means of transportation instead of buying and selling, and after the government approves it, the master can only go to the electromechanical company to buy a car with the approval letter.

If you buy an RB imported car, you have to take a train or a long-distance bus to the port to pick up the car, which is definitely hard work.

The car behaves strangely during this special time period. The reason for this is actually very simple; First of all, the country's foreign exchange is tight; in 1987, China's industrial manufacturing level was still very low, and its foreign exchange reserves were only $2 billion. Another reason is the sharp depreciation of the renminbi.

The prototype of the Lada 2107 is the Italian Fiat 124 sedan that came out in the sixties, in the 60s of the last century, Fiat was one of the world's benchmark for compact car technology and design, and the Fiat 124 received a lot of praise after its launch, winning the "European Car of the Year" award that year.

Not only is the Fiat beautiful, but it also has more cabin space than other cars in its class, and it is also very technologically advanced, such as its four-wheel disc brake system and coil-spring suspension, which was advanced at the time. It also indicates the direction of future development of family car technology and design.

Due to its outstanding overall performance, the Fiat 124 was one of the most successful family cars in Europe at the time, and several countries introduced its production licenses, including the former Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union began production of its Soviet version in 1971 with the introduction of the Fiat 124 production license, the original model of which was the Lada 2101.

Based on the Fiat 124, Soviet engineers made some appropriate improvements to this car, the suspension of the car was strengthened to adapt to the harsh road conditions of the former Soviet Union (that is, for SUVs), and the disc brake system on the rear wheels was replaced by a more traditional aluminum alloy drum brake system.

In order to prevent the battery from failing during the cold Russian winter, the initial production models were also equipped with engine starters. It's particularly exciting to imagine the scene of the old hairymen shaking the car up with a crank in the winter college.

Unlike Europe, the former Soviet Union had a rigid economic system, slow replacement of civilian products, and backward technological development.

In 1974, the Fiat 124 was discontinued in Italy, but the former Soviet Union and later Russia have been producing the Russian version of the 124, the most popular family car in Russia, and the Lada 2107 was discontinued until 2012.

While the Fiat 124 in Italy was almost rotten, the new 2107 was still rolling off the production line in Russia, so much so that many young people did not know that its roots were in Italy.

This Santana, known as Russia, did leave a lot of memories for the Chinese in the eighties.

Yang Quan sat behind the Lada, rolled down the window glass with his hand, blowing the oncoming hot air, and felt excited in his heart. I've never done a Rada in my life.

"It's cool to take a car, right?" Zhou Aifu sat on the edge of the window with his co-pilot, turned his head back and looked at Yang Quan and said.

Yang Quan looked at the envious eyes of passers-by on the street, in this era, the car is a symbol of status, and this symbol has far more gold than a motorcycle. Because of various reasons such as the quality of China's production technology and appearance, the first choice for everyone to buy a car is imported cars.

Imported cars mean foreign exchange, which is a symbol of wealth.

"It's cool to ride in a car, but it's even cooler to build a car!" Yang Quan said with a sense of meaning as he looked at the windshield in front of him.

Yang Quan thought in his heart, if he can't sit in the car he produces, what is the point of being reborn? He is already a big step behind others, if he doesn't try to catch up, will he enter the automobile industry in the 21st century?

It's too slow!

After going back, you have to speed up the process, the car is not so easy to build, the stupid bird flies first, and you have to start all over again.

"Uncle, I've always had a dream" Yang Quan was silent for a while, and then suddenly said to Zhou Aifu in the front row, "I want to produce cars and cars by myself!"

"Hahaha, little comrade, our country wants a sun like you. As I said, you young people are full of vigor and are in their prime, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Hope is in you.

When the time comes, if you want to build a car, you must be cheaper, and I will spare money to buy one to support you. The Lada driver laughed when he heard Yang Quan's words

But Yang Quan listened, this is a blessing!

Yes, to build Chinese's own cars, to buy cars that every household can afford. Like Ford in the United States and Volkswagen in Germany, it is my mission to insist on producing national cars in my country and producing cars that everyone can afford.

Adhere to the original intention and never forget the mission. Go forward bravely!
