Chapter 390: Impression of the Third Line Factory
Just after eight o'clock, Han Jinyu came to the hotel again, this time she saw Lin Qiangsheng a little embarrassed, and she didn't even dare to raise her head and whispered to Lin Qiangsheng: "Today's trip is for Mayor Bai to take you to visit several automobile factories in the city. ”
Lin Qiangsheng looked at Han Jinyu teasingly, nodded and said to Mu Qing: "You go and call them, it's time to go!" ”
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, boss!" She was already fully dressed, wearing a smart little suit and slim trousers, and a bright colorful silk scarf tied around the collar.
"Sister Jinyu, it's early!" Mu Qing greeted Han Jinyu with a smile as she passed by her.
"Sister Mu Qing, you're early!" Han Jinyu hurriedly ducked to the side and glanced at Mu Qing's back with some envy.
Lin Qiangsheng packed up his clothes, looked at Han Jinyu knowingly and asked, "What's wrong, why is your face so red?" ”
Han Jinyu's face really seemed to be dyed with a layer of red, her expression was even more unnatural when she heard Lin Qiangsheng ask this, the girl mustered up the courage to look up at Lin Qiangsheng, and said, "Last night doesn't count, we didn't do anything!" ”
"Oh! How do you know? Lin Qiangsheng nodded and asked, he smiled and said, "Well, it can not be counted, what about going abroad?" ”
"No, what I mean is that it's not like that" Han Jinyu suddenly didn't know how to explain, she stomped her foot and turned around and trotted out of the room.
"Hurry up, Mayor Bai is already at the Long March Automobile Factory, I'll wait for you in the car downstairs!" After not running a few steps, the girl felt unwilling, she leaned on the side of the door and said a word, and then immediately dodged and ran downstairs.
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head with a smile and walked out of the room, Mu Qing had already walked out of the room with a group of Americans, all of them were wearing suits with briefcases, and they were very formal, Lin Qiangsheng took this group of foreigners with this feeling of wanting!
He nodded to the group in satisfaction. Waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”
The group came to the Long March Automobile Factory in a car prepared by the municipal government, met with Bai Yunsheng, and he enthusiastically introduced it to Lin Qiangsheng and others.
Xingde used to be an important automobile industry production base in China in addition to the long and tenth, and its automobile industry benefited from the implementation of the third-line construction strategy from scratch.
On May 26, 1970, Beijing Xindu Machinery Factory and Tianhe Automobile Repair Factory moved to Xingde and were renamed Xingde Long March Automobile Factory and Hongxing Automobile Factory respectively.
July 1, 1972. The Long March Automobile Factory was completed and put into operation. In 1973, the Red Star 621 passed the reliability test at the Hainan Automobile Test Site. In the 70s, the Red Star car became the leading product in the same industry in China, especially with its special chassis technology, the Red Star technology has been promoted to all parts of the country. Yang Car Factory, Shengli Bus Factory, Lake. Beiwanshan Special Vehicle Factory, Shi. Jiazhuang Automobile Modification Plant and other enterprises benefited.
In 1976, at an international motor fair held in the then Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), the Red Star station wagon was hailed as the "Oriental Beauty". This is the first time that domestic automobile products have won praise abroad, and at that time, Hongxing Factory was also a very avant-garde manufacturer in China.
Meanwhile. Liucun in the southeast corner of Xingde was born (114 Automobile Factory) Xingde Automobile Factory. As a result, the Long March brand car, the Red Star brand station wagon, and the Xingde brand modified car have been driven from here to the whole country into the Beijing-Tianjin market, and the Red Star car, commonly known as the "small bread", has also become the official car of the state organs.
"As China's largest airport, the capital airport once witnessed the glory of Xingde Automobile - the tractor is a tank-like high-horsepower tractor produced by the Long March Automobile Factory, and the front face is marked with Mao. Host. Xi's handwriting "Long March". At that time, the planes were on the gangway, and the red-carpeted airplane ramp cars were marked with the "Xingde" sign. In that year, in the convoy that went to the capital airport to welcome foreign VIPs, in addition to the "red flag" ridden by the central leaders and the "shang. sea" and outside the bus in which the masses ride. Then there is the "Red Star" station wagon, which is known as the "Oriental Beauty". It can be said that these cars produced in Xingde led the wind of China's automobile industry in that era. Disturb! Bai Yunsheng introduced Xingde's glorious history of the automobile industry to Lin Qiangsheng and others as he walked. Mu Qing, who was beside Lin Qiangsheng, conveyed in English to the Americans behind him.
At this time, they were in the Long March Automobile Factory, and the mottled and old red brick factory had experienced a lot of wind, frost, rain and snow like a middle-aged man who was about to enter the destiny of heaven.
The workers in the factory looked at the group numbly, they were slightly curious about six or seven foreigners, but after a little discussion, they were waved by the factory leaders and rushed to work. The large workshop is lined with chassis, and various car parts are placed on the shelves, and the workers assemble them completely by hand.
Lin Qiangsheng saw that there were many types of vehicles here. There are military off-road vehicles, transporters, trucks. Listening to Bai Yunsheng, it also manufactures various special vehicles here, such as high-horsepower tractor rollers and the like.
Although Bai Yunsheng said very excitedly and wonderfully, the Americans behind Lin Qiangsheng did not think so, in their opinion, this place was as backward as the American automobile factory a hundred years ago. Several Americans also seized the opportunity to take a number of photos. Probably they were amazed by the existence of this old factory.
"How much space does this factory occupy?" Lin Qiangsheng asked Bai Yunsheng.
He walked out of the workshop and looked around the factory, where he could see rows of Soviet-style brick factories, the layout and style of which seemed to be hasty, as if the builders were in a hurry.
Bai Yunsheng chatted with the factory director and the secretary of the Revolutionary Committee before saying: "This factory covers an area of 1.36 million square meters! ”
"1.36 square kilometers, 136 hectares, not small!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, he glanced at his own people and then said to Bai Yunsheng: "Mayor Bai, let's go to the next Red Star Automobile Factory, shall we?" ”
"Huh? Good! Bai Yunsheng felt that Lin Qiangsheng didn't seem to have much interest in the Long March Automobile Factory, so he waved his hand to the director and said a few words.
The director of the factory and the director of the Revolutionary Committee also did not say anything, and it could be seen that they were still a little overwhelmed by the visit of Lin Qiangsheng and these foreigners. The city suddenly informed them that they were receiving foreign guests, and it was also said that foreign guests might invest in their car factory, which made the factory leaders a little confused about how to deal with it for a while.
In fact, the Long March Factory is in contact with the Czech company Taitora Heavy Truck Company to prepare for negotiations with them on the introduction of heavy trucks, and the two sides have already contacted and the Czechs are very sincere, and they have no intention of launching a car. Besides, the Long March Factory was relocated from the capital, and there was still a kind of high-mindedness in dealing with Xingde, and whether the joint venture was a joint venture depended on whether the superiors of the automobile factory agreed.
When they arrived at the next Red Star Automobile Factory, they were greeted by the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Red Star Factory, which covers an area of 700,000 square meters and has more than 2,000 employees.
Lin Qiangsheng already knew at this time that these manufacturers counted the factory dormitory staff residential area as the factory area, and the site was not small.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this company? The Hongxing factory is much cleaner than the Long March factory, after all, it produces large trucks and special vehicles. Bai Yunsheng said.
Lin Qiangsheng turned around, basically the same as the Long March Factory, he nodded and said, "Mayor Bai, let's go to the next one, isn't there another Xingde Automobile Factory?" ”
Bai Yunsheng said in surprise: "The rest is a small factory, and it doesn't have the scale of this Red Star Factory!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "Mayor Bai, do you remember what I told you?" As I said, it is inevitable to build a new factory after investment, so it doesn't matter if the original factory is not on scale, it will be demolished and rebuilt anyway! ”
Bai Yunsheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Although this is the case, there are few employees in the 114 Automobile Factory, and the employees of the Red Star Factory and the Long March Factory are in the thousands!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "That's okay, we can recruit and find younger workers in society!" He looked at the employees of the Red Star Factory, most of whom were about 40 years old, which was why he was reluctant to ask for a large factory.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but the factory is a bit far away!" Bai Yunsheng came to his senses, he nodded and said with some pity.
"Mayor Bai, I want to have a word with this young man!" Unexpectedly, at this time, the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Red Star Factory stood next to him and interjected.
When visiting the Red Star Factory, Director Sun, who was about 60 years old, did not speak, but when Lin Qiangsheng was about to leave, he stopped everyone.
"Old Sun, what do you want to say?" Bai Yunsheng asked in surprise.
Lao Sun didn't pay attention to Bai Yunsheng, but faced Lin Qiangsheng and asked directly: "Young man, your father's name is Lin Xiangrong, isn't it?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng was also surprised, he nodded and said, "Yes, my father is Lin Xiangrong, Director Sun, do you know my father?" ”
Director Sun looked at Lin Qiangsheng and nodded and said, "He has come to our Red Star Factory, Binqi's Jetta car was sold to Xingde, and Lin Xiangrong came to visit our factory." ”
Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "That's really fate, I didn't expect my father to come here too." ”
Director Sun nodded, he looked at Lin Qiangsheng and said coldly: "I didn't expect that Lin Xiangrong's son would help foreigners come to our Red Star Factory to discuss cooperation!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng looked at Director Sun in surprise, although he felt that the director of the Revolutionary Committee in front of him was talking with prickliness, but he still smiled and said: "Old man, what you said is not right!" He waved his hand to interrupt Mu Qing's referral.
"Actually, I hired these foreigners, so in fact, I am talking to Xing De about cooperation on my own behalf! But one thing you're right, I'm a foreigner anyway! Lin Qiangsheng pointed to himself and said.
"Humph! You, like your father, feel that everyone has to accept something, and our Red Star Factory doesn't cooperate with you, and we don't even think about talking! Saying that, Director Sun stubbornly flicked his sleeves, turned around and left. (To be continued......)
