Chapter 150: Looking at the turret from a distance scares people to death
East, capital, a conference room.
"Xiao Fang has grown so big, and it has been a real water spirit in the past few years." In the conference room, Leader Chen looked at Wang Fang, who attended the meeting for the first time, with a smile: "You are a top student majoring in foreign languages, the most needed technical talent in the country, there are so many enterprises in our capital, why did you enter Pingwang rubber shoes factory?" β
In fact, Wang Fang's official identity is the assistant to the general manager of the Pacific Trading Company and the backbone of the Pacific Robot Company, but the rubber shoe factory is the most famous in China, and the bulletproof insert plate is also exported under the name of Pingwang rubber shoe factory, so the big guy still uses the name of the rubber shoe factory.
At this time, listening to the question of Leader Chen, Wang Fang was neither humble nor arrogant: "Uncle Chen, if our country wants to develop, not only state-owned enterprises, but also private enterprises, and private enterprises have more development prospects. β
Leader Chen smiled: "That's right, I can't underestimate private enterprises, this time our capital fire equipment factory is also looking forward to the introduction of private enterprise mechanism, to rejuvenate it, hey, Lao Wang is also here, everyone is here, let's officially start the meeting." β
Leader Chen continued to look at Wang Fang: "Xiaofang, on behalf of Pingwang Rubber Shoes Factory, put forward your requirements to us, as long as it is not excessive, the uncles and uncles present will agree." β
"Okay, first of all, we ask for the overall acquisition, now the capital fire equipment factory is already insolvent, and still owes the bank two million, we are willing to invest two million, the factory is acquired, these two million can just pay off the bank's arrears, at the same time, we will also invest 10 million, to transform this factory."
Acquisition!
The first request was beyond everyone's expectations, and Leader Chen frowned: "Xiaofang, there is a suspicion of the loss of assets of state-owned enterprises, after all, that factory is an old factory that grew up with the Republic, and our capital government has invested a lot of money and energy, and it will be sold to you for only two million, I'm afraid it will make people gossip." β
"What kind of state-owned assets are lost, that factory is now negative equity." Wang Fang said: "We don't dislike it, we take over, help pay off debts, and invest a lot of money to transform, how can this be called the loss of state-owned assets?" Who but us is going to take over this mess? β
"This request, we need to discuss it before making a decision, do you have any other requirements?"
"After we took over, we asked for a staff assessment, all qualified can stay, unqualified all leave, we private enterprises do not support idlers." Wang Fang continued to put forward conditions: "And in the future, government leaders should not say hello and insert others in, our private enterprises will not accept this." β
"This is not good, we want to let Pingwang Town Rubber Shoes Factory take over, that is, we want to solve the work problems of those employees, do not push the problem to the society, we must take over all." Leader Chen said: "This is a hard condition and cannot be changed. β
Wang Fang nodded: "It's okay not to let us fire the employees, but all the employees who stay must obey our work arrangements!" We don't raise idlers in private enterprises, and those who used to sit in the office need to work on the production line, even if they are the original factory director, we arrange to clean the toilet, and we have to accept the task, if not, then write a resignation report by ourselves. β
"We want to restructure the system, just hope to solve the stubborn disease of state-owned enterprises." Wang Gang spoke: "There are too many idlers in the current state-owned enterprises, and there is too little work, so it should have been changed a long time ago, and let those who are idle and have nothing to do to clean the toilet, I think it's okay!" β
Are those people willing to clean the toilets? Surely it can't be! If you don't do it, get out, this power must be given. Even if you don't finish cleaning the salted fish when you take over the factory, you can do it later.
Mr. Qin didn't say anything about this plan, but Wang Fang was very smart, and he estimated all possible situations before coming to the meeting, and had already thought of a solution.
"The factory manager also cleans the toilets?" Leader Chen looked at Wang Gang dissatisfied.
"The factory director has no ability, bringing the factory to the brink of bankruptcy and becoming insolvent, so why not such a factory director to clean the toilet?" Wang Gang said it rightly: "To engage in a market economy, we must let young people be in charge, and those who cannot adapt to the environment should be eliminated!" β
Leader Chen stopped talking.
"Here, we can promise. As long as the leaders accept our conditions and hand over the factory to us, within five years, the annual profit and tax will be 1 million, and after five years, the annual tax will increase by more than 10%. Wang Fang said the promise of the final finale.
A factory that is insolvent and on the verge of bankruptcy will be revitalized under the auspices of private enterprises, not only will it turn losses into profits, but it will also pay taxes to the state, or start with a million!
"Do you hear that? Private enterprises take over, which will rejuvenate the enterprise, and can also give us tax payments, starting from a million! Such private enterprises should be supported! Wang Gang said: "With their ability, they can open factories in other cities, but they are willing to take over such a mess as us, this is doing our government a favor, everyone says yes?" β
Some nod, others don't.
"Lao Chen, do you still have any opinions?" Wang Gang continued: "Do you want private enterprises to carry forward their style, selfless dedication, and invest a lot of money to save the capital fire equipment factory, without asking for any return? β
The previous era is long gone, and now it is a market economy!
Leader Chen thought for a while: "These requirements are too outrageous, I think we can't agree directly, or write a document, report to the superiors, and ask the superiors to give us advice." β
"Well, the higher-level leaders are courageous, and they can support the delivery of Xiaogang Village's guaranteed production to households, support the opening up of the south, and of course support our reform! And it's going to be an iconic item! Wang Gang said: "Then we will report to the superiors!" β
That night, the leader of the day and the machine got the report, and he sat in his seat and narrowed his eyes.
"Xiao Zhuo, what do the people below say?" The leader looked at the secretary beside him.
The white-haired secretary raised his head: "Some people think that this private enterprise is too much, and directly turns state-owned assets into assets of their private enterprises, and they still have to take over all the employees, which fully reflects the capitalist's blood-eating nature." There are also some people who believe that this private enterprise is very powerful, the rise of less than half a year, on the development of a lot of advanced equipment, the southern troops used their equipment, reduced a lot of casualties, they also export foreign exchange, recently just into the account of 10 million US dollars, this private enterprise represents vitality and vitality, let them take over the capital fire equipment factory, can be used as a new attempt, if this can be successful, then some insolvent state-owned enterprises, can be rejuvenated in this way, regardless of state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, They are all enterprises in our country, and private enterprises have greater creativity. β
The leader thought about it again, and then wrote two words on it: agree.
Qin Feng didn't know that his requirements actually alarmed the superiors, at this time, he came to the Chrysler Starling Arsenal, visited the production line of the M1 tank, and then came to the design department and chatted with a group of American tank designers.
"Our 59 tanks, as well as Lao Maozi's T-54/55 series tanks, have a huge number in the world, and the upgrade of these old tanks has great market potential, but there are many restrictions, for example, the upgrade cost must be kept within one million dollars, only then will it be cost-effective, if the price is too high, then the customer might as well buy a new tank."
Everyone nodded.
"And if you want to reduce the cost, then you can't produce here, your labor cost is too high, it's better to put it in our east." Qin Feng said: "My subordinates are building a heavy factory, and we may be able to cooperate in the future." β
The factory was established in the name of a motorcycle factory, but it used the site of a fire-fighting equipment factory, and of course it could also be converted into tanks.
"Mr. Qin, what are we going to do?" Dr. Wright asked.
"You guys? Of course you're going to have to provide the parts. Qin Feng said: "The 59 tank has weak firepower and poor mobility, so the artillery and power need to be purchased from your Chrysler, and the artillery, in addition to the 105 mm tank gun, there are also related fire control equipment, as for the power, it needs at least seven or eight hundred horsepower diesel engines, and a set of hydraulic automatic transmissions." β
Even an ordinary military fan can know the weaknesses of the 59 tank.
The armor-piercing shells fired by the 100 mm gun, the maximum penetration depth is less than 150 mm, and it is simply impossible to tear the armor of the Lao Maozi main battle tank from the front.
Therefore, the modification is mainly to change the gun, and the NATO standard 105-mm gun is the most suitable for small weight, small size, and great power, and domestic tanks are also modified in this way.
As for the power system, the old 59 tank uses the famous B2 diesel engine, which has been used since the T-34 tank during World War II, with a power of 500 horsepower and a life of 500 motorized hours.
In the West, many civilian diesel engines can output more than 500 horsepower, and the life of the B10 is as high as thousands or even tens of thousands of hours, so replacing the engine of the 59 tank with a civilian diesel engine, and then supporting an advanced automatic transmission, is another important modification project.
The historical Jaguar tank used Detroit's 8V-92TA 8-cylinder diesel engine, rated at 560 kilowatts, that is, 760 horsepower, which is an eight-cylinder engine, and at the same time, Dongfang had just completed the 730 horsepower diesel engine used on the 80 tank, which was the turbocharged version of the 59 tank engine.
It's just that that kind of engine is Cadillac, and now since he is cooperating with Chrysler, of course, he must also find a suitable engine from Chrysler, which he is not familiar with, so he will leave it to everyone present to choose.
"We were mainly responsible for the final assembly and improvement, and the shape of the 59 tank was too old, especially the turret, and we needed to weld a layer of steel on the outside to make it more modern, just like the M1 tank."
Looking at the turret from a distance is scary, and looking at the five pairs of load-bearing wheels up close, it is talking about the magic change 59, and this magic change actually started from the Jaguar tank, before that, the improvement of the East was still cautious, and when it was found that it was possible to pass off as an advanced tank by welding a steel plate shell directly on the outside of the spherical turret, it began to let go of itself.
Qin Feng said as he picked up the design drawing of the T-54/55 tank on the side and drew a few lines on it.
"We only need to weld a layer of steel plate on the outside, so that the appearance can look the same as the M1 tank, and weld another layer on the body below, so that on the battlefield, the enemy will think it is an M1 tank from a distance, and turn around and run away in fright."
A group of technicians let out a hearty laugh.
The turret shape of the M1 tank is still okay, with inclined armor on all sides, excellent bulletproof ability, much better than the vertical armor of the Leopard 2, so, in addition to the M1 tank, the K1 tank that the Americans made for the Southern Kimchi people is also this appearance, and the turret of the Jaguar tank is also like this.
Now, Qin Feng said it like this, it is a new idea, and it is really good to take it out to bluff people.
Dr. Wright nodded, this Mr. Qin is powerful, and all kinds of whimsical ideas continue, if only he could stay in the United States!
"Mr. Qin, do you want to come to the United States for development?" Dr. Wright asked.
"Of course."
Think! Dr. Wright was just about to send out an invitation, Qin Feng continued: "In the future, our Pingwang brand motorcycles will definitely land on the American continent, this is a knight's world, if we produce cars and trucks in the future, we also hope to export here." β
Dr. Wright swallowed the invitation back, and by development, he meant to grow as an independent group or company, not to join their American company.
"Okay, then I wish you success. I also hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate. β
"Of course, we'll look at this kind of improvement project next." Dr. Wright said: "Mr. Qin, thank you for these suggestions, since you want to open a motorcycle factory, then we will give you a motorcycle." β
The Yankees of the 80s are really interesting, but they are much cuter than the Yankees of later generations, and when the day's visit was over, Qin Feng saw the other party giving him his motorcycle.
Under the sunset, the countless chrome parts of the motorcycle logo sparkle and can brighten the eyes of the blind.
In 1984, Harley-Davidson's FXSsti Soft was officially launched, causing an instant sensation among all motorcycle enthusiasts.
The bike is in front of you, with a classic 21-inch pull-up front wheel and short fenders that combine perfectly, and the handlebars aren't too high, but the fork has an increased lean angle to make the bike look longer.
The fenders at the back are very short, exposing the side of the rear wheel, giving the feeling of a hard muscular man.
Of course, the most popular thing is of course the twin-cylinder 1340cc evolution engine between the legs, the displacement is larger than many cars, the huge chrome radiators, the huge engine side cover, all tell the violence of this car.
In the fifties and sixties, when Honda entered the United States, Harley-Davidson was beaten to the point that it could not be found, but Harley-Davidson relied on the car in front of him to maintain a leading position throughout the eighties.
Qin Feng stepped on the motorcycle, and then was a little embarrassed, although he was tall enough, but he still couldn't kick the ground with two legs, so he had to change the two legs back and forth before starting: if he wanted to support the ladder, he had to support his right foot, if he wanted to step on the starting lever, he had to push the ground with his left foot, and if he wanted to hang the gear, he had to push the ground with his right foot, and he had to push back and forth with both feet three times before he could drive the motorcycle away.
He twisted the throttle, and the dull roar of the engine sounded, and if the clutch was released suddenly, the front wheels would definitely be raised high, and without some technology, he really couldn't tame this beast.
Qin Feng skillfully started, accelerated, and circled around the field.
"Mr. Qin, you can ride it back to Westmoreland, and you can enjoy our beautiful scenery along the way." Dr. Wright said.
"No, I'm going to take a pickup truck and put this car in the back of the pickup." Qin Feng objected.
There are still a few people with chivalry, for the average person, who can ride a car, who wants to ride a motorcycle in the cold, this is November! I'm not afraid of the cold, and I can't let Zhao Jiao freeze.
On the morning of the third day, Qin Feng and Zhao Jiao returned to the Volkswagen Wismoreland Automobile Factory, the pickup truck stopped at the door, unloaded the motorcycle, and Qin Feng stepped on it skillfully again.
"Come, Gillian, sit back, Brother Feng will take you in and pretend to be a b, if someone asks, you will say that we will ride all the way back."
"Brother Feng, pretend... What is the meaning? β
Zhao Jiao intuitively felt that this sentence was a bit vulgar.
"Oh, it's not interesting." Qin Feng started the motorcycle and carried Zhao Jiao forward into the gate. When he saw someone, he deliberately pinched the clutch and hit the throttle a few times.
"Mr. Qin, this motorcycle is so handsome!"
"Mr. Qin, did you ride back all the way?"
"Mr. Qin, can our factory produce this kind of motorcycle in the future?"
Under the envious gaze of the big guy, Qin Feng rode into the workshop and happened to see a group of Germans coming out of it.
One of the chubby old men caught his eye, with a round face, gray hair, a black glasses, and a serious look, while he was walking and talking to Gad Henry.
"Grishi?" Qin Feng muttered in his mouth: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, Gillian, we have picked up the baby!" β
Werner Gerrish, born in 1919 in Mannheim, Baden-WΓΌrttemberg, Germany, graduated from the German Darmsta School of Aeronautical Technical Engineers, is Germany's most famous engine expert and management personnel, after retirement, he as one of the first three foreign experts to go to the East as a German retirement expert group, came to Wuhan Diesel Engine Factory for a four-month inspection, and volunteered as a technical consultant.
In this process, he saw Wu Chai's various irresponsible practices, and was heartbroken, and kept putting forward opinions but no one listened, and then the government waved his hand and appointed Gerrish as the factory director! In November of that year, the first "foreign factory director" of an Oriental state-owned enterprise took office and immediately carried out drastic reforms.
Seriously derelict factory leaders were transferred from their posts, competent technicians were promoted, products of substandard quality were scrapped, and a structural wage system was introduced... After a series of combination punches, Wuchai, which was already hopeless, quickly glowed with glory, and its products were not only welcomed by domestic customers, but even exported overseas.
Because of his great contributions, the superior leaders repeatedly summoned him, called him Mr. Quality, and even later erected a bronze statue of him, and he also became an honorary citizen of Wuhan and got the same ID card as the Oriental.
Unfortunately, on November 4, 1986, Gerrish left office, and all reform measures were pushed down by the new director, and the factory once again became the original mess, and finally went bankrupt. Speaking of these things, countless people will sigh.
Now, Qin Feng's opportunity has come, his factory still lacks a qualified factory director!
