After three days and three nights of non-stop trekking, another morning, on the eighth day of departure, the LC80, which was still rough and powerful and panting, appeared in front of the gate of the First Automobile Factory.

Imprinted in the eyes of Li Lu and others is a large stone tablet in the center of the front of the gate, which is engraved with several big characters - the foundation stone of the first automobile factory is commemorated, and the inscription is Taizu. Directly behind the monument is the gate of the Soviet-style building, with a red façade and symmetrical towers.

Li Lu's saw the shadow of Luoyang, which was also a factory built with Soviet aid.

This is where the eldest son of the automobile industry of the Republic lies.

Founded in 1956, the First Automobile Factory was criticized by the public decades later, and was belittled by some media with ulterior motives and controlled by foreign forces, many people thought that it was a garbage factory, and all it produced was garbage trucks.

As everyone knows, even in the second decade of the 21st century, it is still the most powerful automobile factory in China.

From four-cylinder to twelve-cylinder, the engine research and development capabilities of all displacements, the research and development capabilities of the entire transmission series, the incomparable manufacturing process and strong technical heritage of other automobile factories are all incomparable to other automobile factories.

Decades later, local state-owned automobile factories and private automobile factories, SAIC, GAC Great Wall, and Geely BYD, despite blowing their technology into the sky, are all small guys compared to the first automobile factory.

More than half a century of technological precipitation is by no means comparable to you overnight.

Even the Chang'an Factory, which plays the military card, did not dare to speak out loud in the face of the First Automobile Factory. What is the difference in each other's strength, I know it in my heart.

Of course, institutional issues are beyond the scope of discussion.

How big is the scale of the first automobile manufacturing plant, to use a similar analogy, the three bright factories combined are not comparable to it.

At this moment, like the Guangming Factory, the First Automobile Factory, which operates three shifts, is the time to take over the shift at 8 o'clock in the morning. In the second half of the night, the workers came out of the left side of the gate one after another, almost each with a bicycle, and the workers who came to take over entered from the right side of the gate, almost with a bicycle.

There are even occasional young workers on motorcycles. Such a scene at least opened the eyes of others other than Li Lu.

Jiefang trucks, which are in short supply, are constantly generating profits for this huge car factory – even if the superiors stop issuing production plans!

Unlike Yituo, the first automobile factory has a large number of orders to support. State-owned enterprises, local enterprises and institutions, and the military, the orders from the enterprise factories alone can hold the first automobile factory up to three shifts, and even the transfer is still to delay the delivery time.

Even, the first automobile factory handed over a full set of technology, and let some qualified provinces open their own automobile factories to alleviate the tight supply and demand situation!

Some people say that all the automobile factories in the country were born from the First Automobile Factory, and this will not go too far.

The solemn gate quickly calmed down the mood of the four people, and those inscriptions have said it all - this is not only a car factory, but also a symbol, a symbol of Huaxia's farewell to the history of not being able to make cars, and the red spirit of self-reliance.

If the Chinese automobile industry needs a totem, it must be the first automobile factory.

Lin Peisen stared at a motorcycle that drove by suddenly, his saliva almost flowed out, and said, "Third uncle, look at their motorcycles, the workers here are too rich, and the motorcycles are all riding." ”

Li Jiahua said with a smile, "Third child, I think we can also get some motorcycles to sell in Fenyuan." Few people can afford a car, but a motorcycle is different. ”

Li Lu nodded slightly and said, "This is a Honda motorcycle from Little Japan, with a displacement of 125CC, it costs more than 10,000 units, and it is not cheap." ”

"More than 10,000!" Lin Peisen almost bit his tongue.

Although he has earned more than 10,000 people a month, his consumption thinking is still stuck in a few months ago, and he plans to spend a few days with a dollar. More than 10,000 is almost equal to a small two-story concrete building. In the era when bicycles are equivalent to economic family cars a few decades later, motorcycles are the existence of luxury cars for the broad masses of people.

Li Lu touched his chin and thought about it and said, "However, it is a good choice to get an assembly factory, let's assemble the motorcycle ourselves, learn the technology, and then build it ourselves." ”

"That's right! Third uncle, your tractor factory has started to build cars, what is it to build motorcycles. Lin Peisen clapped his hands.

Waving his hand, Li Lu pointed to the side of the gate post and said, "Go over and get down to business first." ”

The LC80 with its muddy body is clean only in the front windshield and rear windshield wiper range, and in just a few years, they have experienced almost all the weather conditions, not to mention the poor road conditions.

Even though it was all dirty and dry mud, the LC80's physique was there, and there were always workers staring at it, and I had never seen a jeep this big. Stopped in front of the gate, and the guards in police uniforms came over - the First Automobile Factory has its own public security agency......

"What are you guys doing?" The doorman carried a baton in his hand and pointed to Li Lu, who got out of the car.

Li Lu took out his documents, strode over, and said with a smile, "Comrade, I am Li Lu, deputy chief of the security section of the Guangming Factory, and this is my certificate." I'm looking for Director Qin Minghuai. ”

"Director Qin? Which Director Qin? The doorman looked at the documents, and his face softened suddenly, the military factory can be regarded as a peer, although the other party is young, but a deputy section chief, so he gave a good face.

Li Ludao, "Comrade Qin Minghuai, Director of the Procurement Office. ”

"Oh, Minister Qin, right?" The doorman said.

Li Lu frowned.

The doorman explained, "Director Qin has been promoted, and now he is the head of the sales department. ”

"I see, it's me who is behind the news." Li Lu was very happy in his heart, this was not in his heart.

The doorman returned the documents to Li Lu, pointed to the others, and said, "Please come and register." ”

The four of them went over to register, and the doorman pointed to the straight road inside the factory and said, "You go all the way from here, turn right in front of the office building, and the first three-story building on the left hand side is." ”

Li Lu thanked him and drove into the factory in person.

The buildings on both sides of the building are symmetrically arranged, and after turning right, there are several three-story symmetrical buildings on the left side of the building, and when he finds the second building, he directly parks his car in the open space in front of the building. At the top of the staircase, people came and went, and people in gray and black tunics could be seen going up and down the semi-open staircase.

I don't know, I think this is the location of some party and government organ, not the sales department of an automobile factory.

Zhang Weiwei walked in front and asked all the way, pointing back and forth, just such a three-story building, Li Lu and they turned around for several minutes and asked several people before they learned that the office without a door number was Qin Minghuai's office.

Standing in the corridor in front of the minister's office, Li Jiahua shook his head and said, "With their bureaucratic style, this factory will be destroyed sooner or later." ”

He was exposed to the operation style of Hong Kong enterprises brought by Yu Jiahao, and was known for its high efficiency and fast pace. In this way, he was very dissatisfied with the pedantic smell of state-owned enterprises and the bureaucratic style of acting.

Zhang Weiwei said with a smile, "The state-owned enterprises are almost like this, and they cannot be compared with our military factories." ”

Lin Peisen looked at the time and said, "It's been half an hour since eight o'clock, and I haven't come to work yet." It would have been hard work to enter the gate by now, and if I had been in the dry port, I would have sold eight of ten radios. ”

"Wait patiently, we're begging someone to do something." Li Ludao.

At this time, the Changchun factory, even if their CA10 trucks are backlogged, if you are an individual or self-employed, do not look for a relationship to go through the back door, do not want to buy it, even if you are lucky to place an order, not three or five months or even a year and a half, you don't want to see the car.

If you ask someone to do something, you have to endure it.

After another ten minutes, Li Lu stopped a passing cadre and asked, "Comrade, let me ask, when will Minister Qin come over?" ”

"How do I know about the leader." The cadre looked at Li Lu impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”

Li Lu smiled politely, "Let's come over to do something with Minister Qin." ”

"Whatever you do, you can find a leader for everything, and the leader will just do things for you in a day, and you can't do the work anymore." The cadre reprimanded.

He saw that these people were dressed dirty and unkempt, and thought that they were classmates from the countryside who were the sons of the neighbors next door to the seven aunts and six aunts, and of course they didn't give any good looks.

Li Lu frowned slightly, and he stopped talking.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, don't interfere with our work here." The cadre waved his hand and said like a fly.

Li Lu raised his hand and slapped the cadre.

The cadre only felt that everything in front of him was floating, and he felt that the world was spinning when he was half-kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Zhang Weiwei and Lin Peisen set him up left and right, smiled coldly, and stood directly in front of Li Lu.

Li Lu said solemnly, "Who gave you the right to talk to me like this!" Call your leaders! Lawlessness yet! Let him go! ”

Zhang Weiwei and Lin Peisen let go of the cadre.

The cadre was stunned by this slap and ran away.

After a while, a middle-aged man strode up from downstairs, followed by several young cadres, including the one whose face was half red and swollen like a pig's head.

"Section chief, that's them." The cadre covered his face and pointed at Li Lu and the others.

Li Lu took two steps forward, put his hands behind his back, and stared at the middle-aged man, "I beat the people, and I will teach these things with dogs' eyes on the top of their heads." Your comrade is just a small clerk, and the bureaucratic style is so serious. Are you going to on the heads of the people in another two years? It's the other way around! ”

When the middle-aged man saw Li Lu's posture, he didn't dare to be reckless, squeezed out a little smile, and said politely, "Are you?" ”

"Deputy Chief of the Security Section of the Guangming Factory." Li Lu said in a deep voice, "Go and inform you Minister Qin Minghuai, just say that Li Lu of Lugang Guangming Factory is waiting for him here." ”

The middle-aged man frowned, waved his hand to let the people behind him disperse, and then smiled, "It turned out to be Section Chief Li." It's really not a coincidence that Minister Qin went to the capital for a meeting two days ago. However, before leaving, the minister has an explanation, let me receive you. My name is Yang Shandao, and I am the head of the first sales section. ”

"Section Chief Yang." Li Lu and Yang Shandao shook hands.

Yang Shandao said, "Section Chief Li, I'm really sorry, that comrade just joined the work just now, and he is not very sensible. In this case, I will first take you all to the guest house and settle down. ”

Li Lu said, "Section Chief Yang, let's talk about things directly, we are short on time, and we have to hurry back to complete the transaction." ”

"No hurry, no hurry. It's not easy for you to come all the way. Minister Qin has explained, and he must do his best for him. Come on, come on, come here, please. Yang Shandao couldn't help but ask them to go downstairs and walked directly to the guest house

Along the way, Yang Shandao enthusiastically introduced the situation of the First Automobile Factory, and from the perspective of history, he talked endlessly without the slightest pause. made Li Lu think that he was engaged in publicity, and he was transferred to the sales department because he was very good-mouthed. Li Lu really guessed this point.

Yang Shandao said, "Section Chief Li, it's better to come early than to come at the right time, you came at the right time." The factory has put into production a new model of trucks, and the old liberation has a backlog, and after negotiating, it is estimated that it can be directly arranged to be loaded and sent. If this was a few years ago, let alone the current car, the frame can't be seen, it's really in short supply, hehehe. And we want to give priority to the supply of troops. Although our No. 1 Automobile Factory is not a military factory, we basically provide the vehicles of the troops, and the two of us can be regarded as comrades-in-arms. By the way, Section Chief Li, did you bring the official letter? ”

Li Lu shook his head and said, "I didn't come here this time to buy a truck on behalf of Guangming Factory. ”

"This ......"

Yang Shandao also felt strange before, how could the Guangming Factory send the security section chief to buy a car, this is not right, but now he understands.

"This ...... Section Chief Li: Are you buying trucks for private individuals? This is not possible unless there is a procurement target approved by the Ministry of Machinery. Yang Shandao said regretfully.

At this time, he had already arrived at the door of the guest house, Yang Shandao said, "Section Chief Li, you settle down first, rest first, recuperate your spirits, and take a good look at Changchun, you haven't seen the scenery of the northern country, hehe, you can't come in vain." ”

Zhang Weiwei's face changed all of a sudden, and they had worked hard for half a month to get here, but the other party couldn't say no, and no one could accept such a result.

"Okay, let's rest first, and we'll talk later." Li Lu was not in a hurry at all, and shook hands with Yang Shandao with a smile.

Yang Shandao explained the arrangements made by the people in the guest house, and left the guest house. If it weren't for the minister's explanation, he would have just asked someone from the public security department to arrest these people and hold them accountable for beating people, how could he have arranged such a polite reception.

To do it now, Yang Shandao already thinks that he has done a good job.

After arranging the accommodation, as soon as he entered the room, Lin Peisen couldn't help but say angrily, "Third uncle, what do you mean by the surname Yang, don't sell it to us?" What is the rationale for this? Fei ran over with so much effort, how could they do this! ”

Zhang Weiwei and Li Jiahua's faces were not good-looking, but they were still calm.

Li Lu said, "Don't worry, I didn't have much rest last night, I washed and rested, recuperated, went out at noon to find a restaurant to eat, and took a good look at Changchun City." The surname Yang is right, it's rare to come here, I don't know what Changchun City looks like, it's going to be a joke. ”

Lin Peisen sat down and lit a cigarette with a sullen sigh, "Hey, how can you still be in the mood to play." ”

Li Lu looked at Zhang Weiwei and Li Jiahua, "You're not in the mood either?" ”

Zhang Weiwei and Li Jiahua shook their heads with wry smiles.

Li Lu was in a very good mood, "Yes, then you guys are bored, I'll go to sleep." ”

He went to another room, and as soon as the door closed, he really took a shower and went to sleep.

Zhang Weiwei, Li Jiahua and Lin Peisen looked at each other, and Zhang Weiwei asked, "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" He's really not in a hurry at all? We don't have much time. ”

Li Jiahua shook his head and shrugged, "I don't know, I don't know what he's thinking." Since he asked us to rest, let's have a good rest, he is not in a hurry, then there must be a solution. ”

Lin Peisen got up and patted his buttocks habitually, saying, "I can't sleep, I'll go out for a walk." ”

"Don't run far." Li Jiahua admonished.

"Got it, second brother."

Lin Peisen went out.
