Chapter 111: The Emergence of Project Hope
After Asada came to China, he didn't notice that the people here were playing cars, maybe the upper class people were playing, and that was a level that he had not yet come into contact with.
The price of buying an RC remote control oil car is not expensive, but it has to be constantly modified after entering the pit, and violent driving and playing lead to the loss of accessories. After playing for a while, you will find that you have invested enough money to buy a real car.
Asada clearly remembers the 17-story building next to the school, and the platform downstairs, where various events are held every weekend. And during a chance racing event, he watched the whole race from the sidelines. The galloping, howling, drifting, tumbling and tail-flicking fancy movements all made Asada's adrenaline rush and he was too excited to help himself.
The culture of RB school clubs is deeply rooted in the blood of every student and is integrated into all aspects of life, as is racing. Since joining the racing team, he has been exposed to the handling and driving and tuning of the motor, and for Asada RC cars are no different from Formula 1 cars, they all enjoy the sound of the engine.
"Yang San, have you played?" asked Asada.
"I haven't played it, but I've touched it. Yang Quan replied vaguely, it is impossible to find this thing around him, he can only explain that he has been contacted, and if he has to be deeply corrected, he can only say that he has seen it from books.
"It's a shame, it's a really fun hobby, I recommend you try it. Imagine a 23CC displacement two-stroke engine running with the car, and the feeling of going over the mountains will definitely make you reluctant to leave. Asada reminisced with a look of intoxication.
Gasoline remote-controlled model cars are generally one-fifth the size of the real car, and the structure is very close to the real car. Gasoline vehicles use two-stroke gasoline engines, and the engines of 1:5 models are generally between 20CC~30CC. Its engine working principle is the same as that of motorcycle engines, and the structure is simple, the performance is stable, and the maintenance is also convenient.
"It's not too late, I said how about if we made this export as well, do you think there is a market?" Yang Quan said as he walked, dodging the branches on the side of the road. When the weather warms up, the branches of the trees on the mountain stretch as much as possible to absorb more sunlight, and the weeds on the roadside also grow secretly.
"Yangfan Factory, do you do it yourself?" Asada asked loudly in surprise, and suddenly thought that Yangfan Factory was born as an engine, and it seemed that there was some possibility. "What do you do and who do you sell to?"
"How to do it, it's simple. From coming back with two models, we can make them after researching. Where is the market? Think carefully and look out. Now that economically developed countries are playing, we will sell them to them. Yang Quan walked through the possibilities in his mind, and confidently looked at Asada and said.
"Is there a sales channel? Besides, you can only make analogues, and by-parts are not profitable. ”
From the perspective of auto parts, it is explained that genuine parts represent the parts produced by qualified manufacturers, as long as there is a manufacturer name, product brand, production address and a certificate of conformity, they can become genuine parts.
Original parts, which represent parts with factory identification from the channel of the main engine factory. Analogues are parts that are outside the channels of the main engine factory, and should be called analogues regardless of quality.
Analogues, all counterfeit and shoddy products. When repairing a car, in a 4S shop or repair shop, everyone will generally ask whether you want original parts or analogues. Because the price difference is very large, it is basically a double and a double gap, and the quality sometimes has some gaps.
"We don't make analogues, we are original and make our own brand. It can be niche, and you can start with the engine first. ”
Yang Quan thought of the palm-sized 23CC engine, in which every component was delicate and small. This kind of small parts assembly has certain requirements for the individual skills of employees, and Yangfan Factory happens to have a group of technicians who are ready to show their skills. SMALLER THAN A MICRO ENGINE OF ABOUT 6CC, THIS ASSEMBLY REQUIRES MORE TECHNOLOGY.
There are all kinds of equipment in my own factory, as long as the mold is opened, it is not difficult to imagine a model car. There should be no problem with producing a simple, sturdy and violent Baja.
The word "Baja" is derived from a buggy race that traverses the Baja Desert in Mexico. The Baja model was first developed by the American HPI, in which the HPI Baja 5B opened the era of 1:5 gasoline vehicles. Baja models are mostly 2WD, and the Baja 5B has a beautiful appearance, rugged and wild.
Due to the copycat behavior of domestic manufacturers, the number of 5B in China is very large, and Yang Quan's first contact with this violent aesthetic car with a simple structure is also very large.
"The channel we can start slowly, starting with RB. We produce engines at the same time, and do it together. Now the market is too small, we will slowly cultivate it, and when it is bigger, we will go all out to enter. Yang Quan said thoughtfully. This is not a one-day function, so let's go through the circle slowly, and then go bigger.
After the direction was set, he and Asada walked behind, muttering and chatting all the way.
The weather in early summer is just right for the cold and warm, and the wind blows on the face of the mountains, which makes people think of swimming. The new greenery is full of branches, and it is not dense. Clusters of apricot blossoms are interspersed in the middle of the mountain trees, looking like clouds from a distance, and the bright colors seem to glow with transparent light up close.
"Seeing this scenery reminds me of a literati" Mrs. Asada fell behind her and suddenly said loudly, Yang Quan looked up and saw the third sister and grandfather walking far in front of them without worry, and then realized that Mrs. Asada was alone and unaccompanied to speak.
"Oh, who did Madam think of?Ouyang Xiu?" Yang Quan's first reaction was to write here that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to care about Ouyang Xiu on the mountain.
"No, Professor Fang Lingru. ”
The name of the person said by the lady made Yang Quan shake his head and not know.
"Anhuai Tongcheng people, descendants of Fang Bao, the representative of the "Tongcheng faction". As a young man, he studied in the United States at HSD State University and the University of Wisconsin. After returning to China in 1929, he successively served as a lecturer at Qingdao University and a professor at ZQ National Drama School. Later, he became a professor in the Department of Chinese at SH Fudan University. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was elected as the vice chairman of the Shanghai Women's Federation. I once wrote the prose "Langya Mountain Travel", a very beautiful article. ”
"When I had the opportunity to read it, I didn't know much about prose. Yang Quan thought for a long time as if he hadn't heard of this professor, and regretfully admitted that he hadn't read her book.
"I also studied hard before I came. Mrs. Asada said modestly.
"Don't underestimate my family, my wife graduated from literature, if she hadn't foreseen me, she would have been a teacher in Chang'an. You also don't know that my mother is participating in an official campaign to sponsor poor students. If there is news in the future, I have to ask you to donate some funds. Asada said with an unfathomable expression that he was proud of his mother's participation in this loving activity.
"Sponsor poor students? Hope Project?" Yang Quan replied without thinking.
"Project Hope? I don't know, I haven't heard of it. They haven't decided on a name for that event yet. Asada shook his head and said, but he muttered: "I hope that the name of Project is still superficial, but it doesn't sound very good." ”
Yang Quan thought calmly, recalling when the Hope Project was a project, he had never noticed when this was established for so many years, and only remembered the big-eyed girl.
In fact, in 1988, China promulgated the Measures for the Administration of Foundations, which was the first legislation on foundations in China. For the first time, the Administrative Measures have clarified the legal nature and legal status of foundations through legislation.
In this year, the 12th National Congress of the Communist Youth League passed a resolution on structural reform, and after the meeting, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League was established.
After the establishment of the China Youth Foundation, what type of public welfare projects to do became the first problem to be solved, and the "Hope Project" to subsidize poor rural children to go to school broke ground.
In fact, the birth of the "Hope Project" is an inevitability. At the end of the 80s, more than 1 million primary school students in China dropped out of school every year because their families were poor and could not afford to pay 40 or 50 yuan for books and miscellaneous fees.
In 1986, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League sent people to conduct a two-month investigation in the GX Liuzhou area, and found that "Gonghe Village, JXYZ Autonomous County, with more than 2,000 people in the village, has not produced a single junior high school student after liberation, and the dropout rate is more than 90%. ”
In the early spring of 1989, Mr. Xu Yongguang, then secretary general of the China Youth Foundation, and several like-minded people imagined the development direction of the foundation in the office. The eyes of the children of Dayao Mountain eager to read flashed in Xu Yongguang's mind, and the inspiration for the Hope Project also jumped out.
In 1990, Comrade Xiaoping inscribed the "Hope Project" and donated money to the Hope Project twice in the name of an old party member. In the same year, the Hope Project helped build the first Hope Primary School in JZ County, An Huai Province, and the big-eyed girl was also a student in this impoverished county.
