Chapter 29 Automotive Engineers

Wei Bin, the director of the repair workshop, looked at Li Weidong blankly. He didn't understand at all, how the young man who came to visit and study changed his body to guide the work.

I want to see what this kid is talking about. Thinking of this, Wei Bin simply stood in the crowd and listened to what Li Weidong was talking about.

Gradually, Li Weidong's explanation had come to an end. While he was talking, he installed the gearbox back, and it was considered that the Crown sedan had been repaired.

This guy, he's speaking in a straightforward manner. Do you know the structure of this imported RB car? Wei Bin nodded approvingly.

However, in the next second, Wei Bin suddenly remembered that the imported RB car that had just been dismantled and installed by Li Weidong was the crown sent by the Foreign Trade Department!

Oops, this crown is the treasure of the Foreign Trade Department. It took a lot of effort to buy it from abroad. It is specially used to receive foreign guests. If it is accidentally repaired, I will not be able to eat it!

Li Weidong walked into the cab, started the car, stepped on the accelerator in neutral, listened to the sound of the engine, then walked out and said to the driver, Master driver, let's go out and try it out.

The driver immediately walked into the cab, started the car, left the repair workshop, and went outside to test the car.

It looks like it's been repaired. Wei Bin let out a long breath, then he pulled over an auto mechanic and began to ask what happened.

The auto repair worker recounted the matter, starting from the Japanese version of the vehicle manual that the driver brought back, talking about Li Weidong's proficient Japanese, then Li Weidong's initiative to ask Ying to repair the car, and finally talking about Li Weidong's lectures to everyone.

Are you talking about a young man who can speak Japanese? Wei Bin's face showed a wisp of joy.

Yes, he also read a section of the vehicle manual. We couldn't understand it, but Mr. Liu said that the only thing you can't understand is Japanese, and if you understand it, it's not Japanese. The man said.

What I don't understand is Japanese, what kind of bullshit is this! Wei Bin cursed inwardly, and then walked towards Li Weidong.

Director Wei is here. Liu Jinlong hurried forward to greet Wei Bin.

Wei Bin walked directly in front of Li Weidong and asked with a cheerful look, What's the name of the little comrade?

I introduced myself in vain before, but Director Wei didn't remember me at all! Li Weidong complained in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, Director Wei, my name is Li Weidong, I am a transporter in Qinghe area. If the company comes to visit and study, please call me Xiao Li.

By the way, I remember, Qinghe Transportation Company, hehe, look at my memory. Wei Bin also smiled, and then asked: Little Li, I heard that you are proficient in Japanese?

I can't talk about being proficient, but I can still handle some basic daily vocabulary. Li Weidong said.

Then translate some Japanese, shouldn't it be a problem? Wei Bin asked.

It turns out that Director Wei came to me to translate documents in Japanese. Li Weidong thought to himself.

Thinking of Wei Bin's arrogant attitude when the two met for the first time, he didn't care about Li Weidong at all. Looking at it now, Wei Bin is so kind and cheerful, Li Weidong has already guessed that Wei Bin is asking for himself in all likelihood.

Li Weidong originally thought that Wei Bin valued his skills in repairing imported cars, but now it seems that Wei Bin needs to translate some Japanese documents.

So Li Weidong nodded: If you don't want to be too uncommon, it can be translated.

A smile suddenly appeared on Wei Bin's face, and he said, Xiao Li, you must be thirsty after staying in the workshop for so long. Go to my office, have a cup of tea first, and rest...

Li Weidong did not refuse either, and followed Wei Bin back to the office.

...

Try my Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao! Wei Bin handed a cup of tea to Li Weidong.

Thank you, Director Wei. Li Weidong picked up the teacup and asked in front of his nose. The aroma of the tea is rich, much more mellow than the so-called Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao of later generations.

The two exchanged a few more words, and then Wei Bin cut to the chase. He took out a Japanese book from the bookcase in the office, handed it to Li Weidong, and asked, Little Li, look, this book can Can you translate it for me? It was brought to me by a friend of mine from RB, and I don’t need to be very precise when translating, as long as I can understand it.”

Li Weidong took over the Japanese book, flipped through it quickly, and got a general understanding of the contents of the book.

This book is about the differentiated customization of heavy trucks.

The purpose of heavy trucks is not only for general transportation, but also for other transportation operations. For example, adding cold winter equipment for cold chain transportation; for example, adding oil tanks to transport dangerous goods; for example, as a site for construction machinery, etc. These all belong to the category of differentiated customization of heavy trucks.

Li Weidong returned the book to Wei Bin, and then said, Director Wei, it is not difficult to translate this book, but the content of this book is mainly to explain the differentiated customization of heavy-duty trucks, and it has nothing to do with auto repair.

Li Weidong's subtext is that you, the auto repair workshop, cannot use the content in the book.

Wei Bin certainly understood what Li Weidong meant. He smiled slightly and said, Xiao Li, do you think that when I am the director of this repair workshop, I am a car repairer? To tell you the truth, I am from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University. Yes, graduated in 1965.

Li Weidong was shocked. Tsinghua University was originally the top university in China, and graduating in 1965 meant that Director Wei was not a so-called worker, peasant, and soldier college student.

In those days, how precious college students were, a college student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University became a car mechanic, which was completely illogical.

Director Wei, how did you become the director of the repair workshop? That's too talented. Li Weidong asked with a puzzled face.

In addition to being the director of the repair workshop, I am also an automotive engineer, and I am also involved in vehicle research and development. Wei Bin paused, then continued:

Our car factory is different from your transportation company. The repair workshop of your transportation company only needs to repair the car, while the repair workshop of our car factory not only needs to repair the car, but also undertakes the task of car quality monitoring.

To put it simply, when others send the car to us for repair, our primary job is not to repair the car, but to find out the cause of the car failure, to check whether there are any defects in our design through the failure of the car, and then give feedback to the Design department, and then make improvements.

You say these jobs can be done without professional auto engineers and only by auto mechanics? Where does the average auto mechanic know about car design flaws? That's why I'm an automotive engineer who also serves as the director of the rework shop.

Li Weidong suddenly realized and nodded: So that's the case, I really didn't expect this rework workshop to play such a big role.

Li Weidong finally understood why this Wei Bin's clothes were so neat, there was no oil stains on them, and his temperament was more like a scholar. It turned out that he was an automotive engineer.

You understand now, why should I read this book on the differentiation of heavy-duty trucks? Wei Bin said with a smile.

You, an automotive engineer, should read this book. Li Weidong nodded, then turned to the last page of the book and looked at the page numbers.

Director Wei, this book has more than 200 pages, and I can't finish the translation in a while. I can stay in Jicheng for two days, and then I have to go back to Qinghe. Otherwise, I will try my best to give it to you in the past two days. You can translate as much as you can. Li Weidong said.

Then how long will it take you to translate this book? Wei Bin asked.

At least five days. Li Weidong said.

Wei Bin hesitated for a few seconds, then said, Well, I'll tell your leaders to let you stay here for an extra week.

Well... Li Weidong hesitated.

I'm worried that your leaders will disagree? Hehe, the leaders of your unit always give the honor of our Yellow River Factory. Wei Bin continued arrogantly:

As for life, you don't have to worry about it. I will arrange for you to come to our guest house of the Yellow River Factory. The conditions are better than the guest house of the provincial party committee. The chef in our guest house is a descendant of Confucian cuisine, and the best thing is Yipin Tofu. I'll take you to try it tonight!

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Weidong nodded: Then I will listen to your arrangement.
