Pudong, Swire foreign warehouse, this riverside warehouse and the vast majority of foreign warehouses in Pudong is no different, three-story red brick wall foundation, nine-story wall columns, the wall base is 6 feet high, and then facing up is a simple wooden plank wall, wooden beams and tile roof, for these foreign companies, the construction of the warehouse in Pudong is only for temporary inventory, or even just for rent, for any foreign company, a large amount of inventory is never a rational move.

Because of this, the humble warehouses along the Pudong River are dispensable for foreign firms, and naturally when someone is willing to bid for them, these foreign firms are happy to sell the original idle or semi-idle warehouses in exchange for the money they are looking for when they come to China.

As a veteran foreign firm, Swire Ocean's warehouse in Pudong can also show the style of the ocean, a 15-meter steel beam wooden trestle next to the river, several simple iron pillar pulley cranes are erected on the bluestone piles, covering an area of nearly 100 acres of large warehouses, there are dozens of large warehouses in the U-shape, most of these large warehouses are rented out in the past, but now they have changed owners, and the industrial company bought this large warehouse four months ago.

Three months ago, a sign was hung at the gate outside the warehouse wall of the warehouse "Industrial Company Machinery Factory", and a chimney was erected by a small warehouse by the river, which was the power generation room of the machine factory.

It was from that day that the roar of the machine came out in this riverside warehouse, and most of the workers working here were old workers in Shanghai machinery factories such as Xiangsheng Shipyard, Yesong Shipyard and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which were attracted by the daily wages ranging from 1 yuan to 2 yuan.

Two months ago, when the machine factory posted a job posting, thousands of job seekers gathered at the factory gate on the same day to get a new job, despite the fact that there were only 500 jobs, and in the face of double wages. This was the case for several days, and among the growing crowds, there were even the best craftsmen in Shanghai's machine factories, shipyards, and iron factories, and even after the announcement that the recruitment was full, the crowd outside the door looked pity and asked if the company would continue to recruit workers in the future.

Twice the wage level, in Shanghai and even Jiangsu have caused an uproar, it is in the scolding of peers from all walks of life, the industrial company machinery factory opened, but this machine factory has been manufacturing all kinds of construction machinery since the start of construction, occasionally producing some Jianghuai Road Mining Company needs equipment, in the eyes of the outside world, here is just an industrial company to reduce the bottom cost, built a domestic factory.

In the corner of the factory, there is a small factory, unlike other factories with machines, but there are no machines in this factory, only a few broken cars, and all kinds of parts, and every day more than a dozen workers assist Li Xifa, an engineer hired by the factory, to work here.

Knowing people and being good at their duties may be one of Chen Moran's biggest characteristics. Because Li Xifa had "tinkered" with automobiles in the United States, he naturally became the most important technical backbone in this factory, and took more than 20 industrial technical schools to tinker with the cars developed by the chairman here.

With the roar of the engine, 26 students and Li Xifa gathered on the test bench together, looking at the smooth transmission system, their eyes were full of surprise and joy, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid they really found it hard to believe that the chairman could design such a set of superior and unique gear transmission systems.

Chen Moran, whose hands and canvas overalls were covered with oil, was also proud, and his graduation project when he graduated from college was a planetary gear transmission system, which was just a simplified and shrunken version of the design of the year.

Li Xifa, who was stunned, couldn't help but shout loudly when he tried this original transmission system on the test bench.

"Through the clutch and gear lever, the forward and reverse of the car is controlled, and the transmission is flexible and free...... Well! It's as smooth as the planets orbiting the sun! ”

Although he was a little proud, Chen Moran knew that his transmission system was not even as complex as the transmission system of tractors worth thousands of yuan in later generations, but it was an epoch-making product in this era.

Li Xifa's words only made Chen Moran happy, but nothing changed in the end.

"Hmmm! Then call him a planetary gear drive! ”

"Chairman, this ...... How does this make! ”

Li Xifa, who was sitting on the test bench, looked at the chairman in surprise, and he didn't expect that he would name the transmission system invented by the chairman with a casual remark.

"What's so bad, you see that the sun gear, planet carrier and internal gear can rotate around a common fixed axis, isn't it like a small solar system, I think this planetary gear transmission system is just right for it!"

Swinging his hand, Chen Moran leaned on another workbench and studied the gasoline engine, this $250 twin-cylinder gasoline engine was one of the dozens of engines purchased through a foreign company three weeks ago, and its most attractive part, in addition to its low fuel consumption, is that in addition to gasoline, it can also use kerosene and alcohol as fuel.

"It's the age of mechanics!"

Although he has long studied this simple engine thoroughly, Chen Moran still can't help but admire the designer's whimsy, in this era when there are no gas stations, not all places can buy gasoline, but kerosene used to light lamps is very common, and this engine can be fueled by kerosene.

On the side, there is a pile of bits and pieces, which are factory-produced engine parts, completely based on this two-cylinder "gasoline engine" to build a four-cylinder 24-horsepower "multi-fuel engine", which is now just beginning to be assembled.

While Chen Moran was studying the engine there, a student from an industrial school walked up to him with a piece of paper and a little shyly.

"Chairman, look, this is the car I draw!"

After taking the drawing, the appearance of the car is not much different from the appearance of the car bought by the company, but it looks more "rich"! It is close to the appearance of the classic car that people in later generations are used to.

"This car is well designed!"

When nodding his head in praise, Chen Moran looked at the young man in front of him who had a smile on his face after receiving the praise.

"But we're going to build the kind of car that everybody can afford, and it's kind of ...... like this Well, it's too rich! And the cost must be high, in the future, the car we build, is the kind of car with large wheels, high chassis through the ability to pass, the car should be as simple as possible, the car does not need an odometer, does not need a fuel gauge, and even the windshield is not needed, in this kind of car can not find a trace of flashy place. ”

Chen Moran waved his oily hands again.

"It's designed for the public, a Volkswagen car that everyone can afford, right! It is Volkswagen, and our car brand will be "Volkswagen!" ”。”

Perhaps sensing that this somewhat shy young man seemed to be a little frustrated, Chen Moran encouraged him again.

"Of course, this is only our first step, we have to rely on cheap, simple cars, our Volkswagen fame out, now the United States, Europe to sell cars, a cheapest is more than 3,000 US dollars, relying on the domestic market is definitely not good, can only use the brain in the European and American markets, we have to rely on the kind of hundreds of dollars of cars, to occupy foreign markets, and so on to occupy the market, open up the fame, we can reproduce high-end cars like this, and by that time also accumulated inspection and technology, In short, step by step, your idea is good, and you will continue to work hard in the future. ”

Just when Chen Moran was encouraging the young man, there was a rush of gunfire outside the factory, if it was in the machine shop, the roar of the machine would suppress the gunshot, but in this factory where there were almost no machines, although the gunfire was a little muffled, it still reached the ears.

When the gunshot rang out, most of the people in the factory here did not react, they were used to the gunshots here, and like the workers in the factory, they tacitly agreed not to talk about things in the factory at the request of the factory.

Then a string of gunshots rang out, point shots, long point shots, continuous shots, gunshots that didn't feel anything in other people's ears, but they were happy in Chen Moran's ears, they didn't care about wiping off the oil stains on their bodies, just gave them an explanation and let them continue to work, and then walked out of the factory and walked towards the factory yard, where there was a small room with a person who entered the ground behind the factory yard.

Outside the door of the small room to push open the wooden door, the sound of gunfire is clearer, the ear of gunfire is a rapid and spaced short point shot, along the steps under the heart of the excitement, at the end of the steps, push open the heavy wooden door wrapped in cotton, the deafening gunfire came, a worker in the room with the light on is sitting behind the iron plate, hand pressed the pusher, each time with the length of time he pressed down the pusher, the rapid gunfire sounded in a short or long way.

At the end of the tunnel opposite the height of the person, the multi-layer wooden layer in front of a pile of sandbags has been broken, and when the bullet is empty, when he is about to change the magazine, the worker who is trying to fire it sees the chairman standing next to him, and quickly plucks the cotton ball in his ear.

"Chairman, you're here"

"It's made!"

Chen Moran, who looked a little surprised, saw the two guns lying on the table next to the worker, and asked the worker in charge of the test firing, this worker was originally a small worker in charge of the test firing in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and now he is still in charge of the test firing of weapons, the machine factory has been trying to produce weapons in recent weeks, and at the beginning the barrel was still paid by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

"Chairman! This guy is really good, a few days ago, the submachine gun we built was not fast or slow, every time the trigger was pulled, all the bullets loaded were released, and it couldn't be opened freely. Now this original wrench can come in handy, just pull it down and play if you don't want to play a single order, you can play if you want to hit a single link, and stop shooting at any time. ”

The little worker who tested the shot looked a little excited, this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

"Have you tried both?"

Pointing to the two submachine guns on the table, Chen Moran asked.

"I've tried it all, and I can fight if I want to!"

When he spoke, Chen Moran had already taken ten and a half pounds of submachine guns from the table, and the body of the gun had not been blued, just like that batch of pistols, just a trial product, but this submachine gun was not produced than Chen Moran with a pistol and a reverse engineering drawing, but a simple drawing he drew according to the exploded drawing of the Thomson submachine gun in the light weapons magazine, and then the craftsmen and technicians in the factory referred to the simple drawings together, and continued to trial produce and improve, more than 100 pieces were trial-produced around half a month, and tens of thousands of yuan were spent.

When Chen Moran was about to hold the submachine gun and pull the bolt for the test, Ouyang Xiang, who pushed the door open and came in, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the chairman holding the gun at the test shooting range.

"Chairman, you're here!"

Chen Moran nodded, but holding the submachine gun, took a magazine from the table, inserted it into the slot and pulled the bolt, and pulled the trigger at the target with the gun, after a few single shots, the back seat was not as strong as expected, the thumb rotated the fast and slow machine button, and fired several points in succession, until the 30-round magazine was empty.

"This gun is well done!"

Stroking the body of the panmetallic primary color gun, Chen Moran praised at the same time, but his heart rose a little helpless, this submachine gun is not for the troops, at least the original starting point is not the troops, but ......, "Chairman, that is your original design is reasonable!" I'm just perfecting the drawings! ”

Ouyang Xiang didn't dare to wave his hand and said that when he studied abroad, he studied machinery, not weapon design.

"If you talk about merit, I'm afraid Xiangsheng is not as good as those masters in the factory, just like the improvement of the fast and slow machine, which is the result of the efforts of those masters!"

"I know, if you report the list, the factory will reward you for your meritorious deeds! Let's make thirty first! ”

After that, Chen Moran, who looked a little lost, left this humble underground shooting range, and after the gun was built, that day would come, thinking of the upcoming separation, for some reason Chen Moran couldn't relax anyway.

Although he was a little reluctant or unwilling in his heart, Chen Moran, who understood that he had no other better choice, could only sigh helplessly.

"Let's go to the island and arrange it!"

After walking out of the infirmary, the healing of the wound made Xu Zhiyuan feel much more relaxed, when he walked towards the trestle according to the regulations, but felt that the eyes of the people around him were a little ambiguous, Xu Zhiyuan just glanced coldly, those who looked at him Tongze, at the same time turned their heads to look at other places, unwilling to look at him, he knew why Tongze showed such a gaze, anyone who killed a wolf in the sand pit could stay in the Ama Mountain for three days.

And what will happen in these three days?

This is a well-known thing, these three days are not just a big holiday, then those few rooms on the mountain are a man's paradise!

"Brother Xu, you have to take it easy, when you go down to the island, you don't have to get weak, and you won't be able to hang up the face of the foreign instructor!"

The brother rowing the wooden boat smiled, and there was an envious smile on his ambiguous face.

"Dog, row your boat! Lao Tzu went there to nourish his body, not to dig his body! ”

Xu Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the boat, scolded, but didn't say anything. It only took more than ten minutes to get on the shore of Amayan Island, which was only a few miles away from the main island of Tanhu Mountain, and there was no trestle bridge on the island.

On the small island of Ama Mountain, there were a few simple wooden houses, and after getting off the boat, Xu Zhiyuan ignored Hui Ze's envy and walked straight to one of the nearest houses.

"You're here!"

As soon as Xu Zhiyuan walked to the door, the curtain was lifted, and a young woman in a kimono bowed to him in stiff Chinese.

"Put away your scratching surname, the lord is here to nourish the spirit!"

When the girls were about to help him, Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand and pushed the door of the girl. Because they are not allowed to leave the island during the training, although they can write letters to their families, and the cruel training is enough for the big guys to vent their excess energy, men are men, and there will always be needs, especially those foreign instructors, especially those foreign instructors, and finally at their strong request, the team bought ten Benji girls from the hands of Shanghai traffickers.

And a few bitches on this horse mountain are the place to meet the needs of the big guys, although it is a place to meet the needs of the big guys, but to come to this place has to go through a "fight", the training is not qualified, not hard can not come, only those who are in the forefront of ordinary training performance, only once a week have the opportunity to stay on the island for three hours.

There are exceptions to everything, foreign instructors can go to the island for three hours every two days, and only those who have been torn apart by wolves can enjoy three days of "happy time" on this island after they have recovered from their injuries.

It's just that Xu Zhiyuan is obviously not good at enjoying this happy time, if it were someone else, he might have jumped on it a long time ago, but instead he lay down on the tatami mat and fell asleep.

Or felt that the bitch seemed to be looking at him with complaining eyes, turned over and Xu Zhiyuan muttered there.

"Don't look at me, wait for Ye to sleep and see how Master cleans you up at night!"

It's not time to clean up this little bitch, so let's rest first, although I have also rested in the infirmary, but there are gunshots and explosions in that place, and I can listen to the howls of the big guys day and night, as long as they don't finish the training, they will definitely not be able to sleep soundly, so this way, that quiet!

As soon as he closed his eyes, Xu Zhiyuan fell asleep without half a cigarette, and snored, and the woman who was kneeling next to him just looked at this man quietly, she had already accepted her fate when she was sold to China by human traffickers, and although she was lonely on this island, she was much better than the sisters in the courtyard.

"Xu Zhiyuan! Gather! Gather! ”

Xu Zhiyuan, who seemed to be sleeping very deeply, opened his eyes and stood up almost the moment he heard this shout, and rushed out, only to see that the small wooden boat had rowed to the beach again.

"Quick! Hurry up and come up, the boss summons you! ”
