In each Hongqi car, a group of technicians from Lao Yiqi felt the smooth and unspeakable car, and felt the on-board functions in the car that even did not know what the principle was.

"I remember that it was the year when the liberation car just got off the assembly line, ZX came to our first automobile factory to inspect, and when I looked at the liberation truck we made ourselves, I said, when we have a meeting, it would be good to be able to sit in a car produced by ourselves.

When was that time? It was 1956, only seven years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

We didn't have anything, even the sheet metal of the Jiefang car was hammered out by our skilled workers! But when we heard ZX's words, we petitioned at that time, saying that we would definitely be able to make our own car!

At the beginning of 1957, the First Industrial Machinery Department of the State Council at that time gave us the task of producing cars. ”

At that time, the cars that we used most in China were the ones that Lao Chiang had captured during the civil war, and some of them were destroyed and we couldn't repair them.

It doesn't matter if you're poor or white, you were motivated!

The First Ministry of Machinery gave an order and asked if we could complete it. We said yes! Why can't we? We built a guy as big as a truck, and we were afraid of a car? I said to Director Wang at the time, "!"

"Later, I remember that it was Shi Ruji, the director of the design department, who went to collect information and drawings about the development of domestic cars. Among the many foreign cars, a French Simka was chosen as the prototype. ”

"At that time, I was really poor, and when I bought a prototype car, our R&D funds poured by one-fifth.

I didn't have an engine, I bought a Mercedes-Benz 190 engine, and I built it ourselves! The engine came out without a gearbox, and we designed a three-speed one ourselves!

I still remember that the fabric of the seats was silk Dongfeng brocade, double phoenix brocade and cloud dusk brocade, and the floor was covered with wool carpet. The instrument panel is as bright as a mirror of Fuzhou lacquerware, the knob switch is made of ivory carving, and the cigarette and handle are cloisonnélan.

It took us a year to make the first car in the country!

One test on the road, hey, can run 128 kilometers per hour!"

"Later, the Great Leap Forward, CA71 is a small car after all, and it can't wait for a big table. The factory said that it would make a high-end car in a month. This is something that I can't even think of now?

Think about it, under the backward technical conditions at that time, how difficult it was to build a high-end car in just one month?

At that time, not to mention that there were no complete design drawings for reference, and there was not even a prototype car on hand to refer to. But it really happened then!

I remember that when I was working on the CA72, the trial production of the V8 engine was the most difficult, especially the cylinder block casting, which became a problem at that time.

At that time, the whole factory concentrated all the casting forces to try to cast the cylinder block, and at that time there were Soviet experts in the factory, and he said, "Don't make V8 engines, we can't build them in the Soviet Union, what are you doing?"

We don't believe in it!

At that time, I was in charge of the casting part, and 97 of the 100 cylinder blocks that were trial-produced were scrap.

So what to do?

We used one of the best qualified casting blanks out of a hundred to process the V8 engine! At that time, this experience was passed on to the Soviet Union!

Just like that, the CA72 red flag came out, and as soon as it came out, it was sent to the capital overnight to participate in the National Day ceremony. Fight for it!"

"Later, CA770, CA771 and the safest CA772 insurance car in the world! Haha, if it wasn't for our CA772 at that time, Lao Lin wouldn't have been able to escape from Shanhaiguan Airport, and he would have had to give the guards a gun to death......! Hey, then Hongqi died.

Until now, Lao Tzu didn't admit it, and later Yiqi did it as a red flag car!

That's some iron lump with skin and bones, and even more soulless!"

Sitting in Cheng Wenze's car, Li Fanyu, who listened to Yiqi's old technology and talked about these histories, was also full of emotion.

Fifteen minutes of road, accompanied by an old story, passed like this.

When the convoy reached the end of Anchang Street, it turned directly to the pre-arranged hotel. There, Zhengxin Hongqi also had a thank-you banquet.

After getting out of the car, Li Fanyu was surrounded by a group of entrepreneurs.

"Dong Li, this delivery ceremony is meaningful!"

"Yes, with history and the spirit of the older generation of industrialists, to a new chapter. I'm optimistic that you are right!"

"In my opinion, these are the things that should be inherited most from Hongqi! ”

Li Fanyu thanked everyone again and again, and led everyone to the hotel.

Looking at the satisfied expressions of the users, Li Kai, who followed behind, breathed a sigh of relief, because Li Fanyu's impulse before had made Hongqi's publicity plan and marketing plan have undergone great changes.

So he didn't have much faith in the loss of this foot. But now it seems that the delivery ceremony was undoubtedly highly recognized by the first users, which can be said to be a success.

"Dong Li, how do you feel?"

came to Li Fanyu's side, Li Kai asked.

Looking at the old Yiqi technicians in the banquet hall, Li Fanyu sighed with emotion: "The history of a brand is too important. Without these, the red flag is worthless in my eyes. ”

Listening to his brainless words, Li Kai scratched the back of his head, "Yes, I also know those histories, if Hongqi was stopped after CA772, if these people did not decline because of Hongqi's stopping, if the pride of not being afraid of heaven and earth at that time continued, maybe the development process of China Automobile would be a little different, right?"

Li Fanyu nodded, "Maybe, but there is no point in saying this now, the past is in the past." All we can do is learn from the experience and lessons learned and make great strides. In this way, you go back and start to prepare, make a museum for our Zhengxin, show our own history and honor to the world, and at the same time let our Zhengxin people remember. And continue. ”

"Chairman Li, I am now the CEO of the Red Flag Division. It's not appropriate for me to do this, right?" Li Kai hesitated.

"There's nothing inappropriate," Li Fanyu waved his hand, "When I invited these technicians from Lao Yiqi before, I intended to make a museum for Hongqi." Just now, I realized how important history is to a brand and an enterprise. Therefore, the Red Flag Museum, which was originally planned, was merged with the Zhengxin Museum. ”

"Is the history of our faith a little thin?" Li Kai quipped.

"No," Li Fanyu waved his hand, "We believe that every step we have taken, what we will take in the future, every step we have taken, is creating history!"
