Chapter 332 Research and Development Direction

Of course Li Weidong is not the stupid son of the landlord's family, and his money is not blown by the wind, and of course he will not spend an extra 500,000 yuan for no reason.

The reason why Li Weidong did this was to relieve his worries to the greatest extent.

Dafu Rubber Factory is a state-owned enterprise after all, and the Feiyue brand is also a state-owned asset, so Li Weidong naturally has to pay more attention when buying the Feiyue brand.

Not spending a penny is definitely not enough. It seems that this is an act of taking advantage, but it is full of hidden dangers.

To get the Feiyue brand without spending money, isn't it embezzling state-owned assets? Li Weidong is a good citizen who abides by the law, so this kind of thing cannot be done.

As Director Wang said, giving a little money symbolically is also a matter of endless trouble.

At least Li Weidong will be worried about whether he will be settled by the autumn queen. If you make the Feiyue brand bigger by yourself, but it is taken back, you can make a wedding dress for others.

In order to avoid trouble in the future, Li Weidong bought the Feiyue brand at a high price.

In the early 1990s, the brand was not valuable. At that time, the brand was combined with the factory, and almost no one sold the brand separately for money.

Although Feiyue was also a big brand back then, it has been discontinued after all, and at a price of 500,000 yuan, buying such a discontinued brand is definitely a premium.

If you buy the Feiyue brand at a high price, no one will make a fuss about the price in the future. Buying things at a higher price can't be said to be embezzlement!

At the same time, in order to seek the greatest legal legitimacy, Li Weidong also hired a lawyer and a notary office.

A lawyer can ensure that the contract is legally correct, while a notary office can ensure the authenticity of the contract. With these two guarantees, if Li Weidong really starts a lawsuit, it can at least benefit the invincible position.

...

After finishing the Feiyue contract, Li Weidong returned to Qinghe.

As soon as he returned to the agricultural machinery factory, Du Jiahai took a lot of bills and statistical tables and handed them to Li Weidong.

I just heard Du Jiahai say: Director, during the time you went to the United States, the sales of our agricultural tricycles rose steadily. It is said that the peak season of agricultural machinery sales has passed. In the past, the sales of agricultural machinery should have declined. Agricultural tricycles still can't sell a lot.

Li Weidong nodded: Our products are different from other agricultural machinery. Other agricultural machinery is used according to the agricultural season. When it is time to sow, use a seeder, and when it is time to harvest, use a harvester. If there is no agricultural time, there will be no one. Thinking of buying the appropriate farm tools.

And our agricultural tricycles do not need to follow the agricultural season and can be used all year round. Naturally, the off-season and peak seasons of sales are not as obvious as other agricultural machinery.

This is like how we wear clothes. We wear cotton jackets in winter and short sleeves in summer. We wear different clothes according to different seasons, but we wear underwear all year round.

This ordinary agricultural machine is a short-sleeved padded jacket, which should be worn according to the season.

And our agricultural tricycles are underwear, which must be worn every day and purchased all year round.

Yeah, our agricultural tricycle has the advantage that it can be used at any time, and farmers can use it at any time!

Du Jiahai nodded and continued, However, our agricultural tricycles are really selling well. I heard from the people at the agricultural machinery station that some people can't wait for agricultural machinery loans and agricultural machinery subsidies, so they directly spend the original price to buy our agricultural tricycles!

What did you say? Li Weidong frowned fiercely, and then asked with a serious face: You just said, can't wait for the agricultural machinery subsidy? Buy a car at the original price?

Yes, I can't wait for the loan! Du Jiahai nodded.

How is this situation? Li Weidong asked again.

Du Jiahai shook his head: It's definitely not much, there are loans and subsidies, don't you think it's stupid? I only learned about it by chatting with the people at the agricultural machinery station, and there are such strange things. I guess I can't wait. Use it quickly!

It's fine if you can't wait for the loan, and there are people who can't wait for the subsidy? How difficult is it to go through the procedures for agricultural machinery subsidy? Just fill in the form with the household registration book. Can't wait for this time?

Li Weidong snorted coldly, and then said: Don't forget to buy our tricycles, but they are all farmers, who can save two cents, and will never save a cent, they may give up hundreds of dollars of agricultural machinery. Subsidy?

Director, what do you mean, there's something wrong with this? Du Jiahai immediately understood.

Li Weidong thought for a few seconds and said, If I guessed correctly, the person who spends all the money to buy an agricultural tricycle is definitely not a farmer.

Did the urbanites buy it? Du Jiahai nodded suddenly: The urbanites are definitely richer than the rural people, and the urban household registration does not enjoy agricultural machinery subsidies, nor can they get loans from credit unions, so they can only Buy a three-way agricultural vehicle with the full amount!

I hope it was bought by people in the city. Unfortunately, it is not! Li Weidong sighed and continued; I reckon, those full-sized agricultural tricycles should be bought by our competitors.

Director, you mean other agricultural machinery factories? Du Jiahai asked subconsciously.

Yeah, our agricultural tricycles are selling so well, can other colleagues not be jealous? Especially the tractor factory, whose market has been robbed by us a lot, life is not easy! If I were the director of the tractor factory, I would also Go imitate our agricultural tricycle and fight a turnaround! Li Weidong said indifferently.

Du Jiahai once again showed a stunned expression: Director, our rear axle assembly uses a Japanese production line. It shouldn't be so easy to copy, right?

In a short period of time, domestic manufacturers should not be able to imitate them, but what if it takes a long time? Then I can't say for sure!

Li Weidong sighed lightly and continued, The market for agricultural tricycles is huge and the sales volume is also very good. There must be some people willing to do this kind of money making, and some companies are willing to invest in research and development.

After all, this rear axle assembly is the technology of Japan more than 20 years ago. As long as these domestic manufacturers are willing to invest, it will be a matter of time to be imitated, and even better rear axle assemblies will be improved!

Du Jiahai immediately said: Director, our technical department is also improving the rear axle assembly, and the effect is not bad.

Although the R\u0026D capabilities of our technical department are not as good as those of the big manufacturers, our advantage is that we have thoroughly understood the technology of the rear axle assembly, which means we have a relatively high starting point.

Li Weidong said and shook his head; But that's not enough! It's not enough for us to have a high starting point. We have to go one step faster, one step faster, and one step faster than others.

Li Weidong said, took out a piece of paper, then called Du Jiahai to his side, and said while drawing;

I have several research and development ideas. First, we can try to increase the size of the cargo box of the agricultural tricycle, so that it can have a higher load and pull more cargo.

Director, there are two problems in this regard, one is the driving force for traction, and the other is carrying capacity. Du Jiahai said immediately.

When it comes to technical issues, Du Jiahai is still an expert.

In terms of power, let Shen Congzuo think of a way to increase the torque of the engine. As long as it can start, it will be no problem to run. As for the load... Our rear axle assembly, there is no problem in design, the key is the material. Craft. Li Weidong said with a frown.

Du Jiahai immediately replied: Material is easy to solve. I have done research. Although the material technology of our city's steel plant is not up to standard, the technology of Laigang has improved rapidly in the past two years. I heard that it is also imported from Japan. Technology. Their products meet our requirements.”

Then there is no problem. Li Weidong let out a sigh of relief.

Director, there are still problems. The tires may not hold up. Especially the rear two wheels, which are both traction and load-bearing, may be punctured. Du Jiahai said.

Li Weidong laughed: I said, Lao Du, you are really smart and confused! We are making agricultural tricycles, do you really think we only make three wheels? If three wheels can't carry it, you won't Should I add two wheels? Five wheels are not much stronger than three wheels!

Five wheels? Then there are two rows of bearings behind it. Do you want two rows of rear axle assemblies? Is it four-wheel drive or two-wheel drive? Du Jiahai said subconsciously.

This Du Jiahai is nerdy again! Li Weidong shook his head helplessly and reminded:

You can use a combination of wheels, just like the rear wheel of a truck, where two wheels are combined together, so that a set of rear axles can be solved, and you don't need to consider two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.

Yeah, how could I forget about this! Director, if you say that, I have an idea for research and development. Du Jiahai slapped his head fiercely.

Li Weidong went on to say: I have another idea, that is, to add a self-unloading function to the cargo box at the back. If you want to unload the goods at that time, just press a button, but it is much more convenient!

Director, you can have this, but if you have a self-unloading container, you have to rely on hydraulic pressure. We need a suitable hydraulic power unit. Du Jiahai said.

Can't our factory even do hydraulics? Li Weidong asked a little depressed.

From the perspective of Li Weidong's later generations, the hydraulic system of the dump truck is a very simple thing with little technical content.

Du Jiahai shook his head: The complete hydraulic power unit, we really don't have that technology in our factory, it's okay to say in terms of power, the key is to mesh the gear hydraulic pump, we can't do it, and it's not up to standard, that thing is quite technically demanding. High. Our factory mainly made small agricultural machinery before, and we have never made such high-tech products.”

If you can't make it yourself, pay for it! Li Weidong gave the simplest solution. He then asked, Do you know where there is a hydraulic power unit that sells? Is there any agricultural machinery factory in which city?

If the city agricultural machinery factory has that kind of technology, it won't be able to make itself half-dead! Du Jiahai thought for a while and said; Director, in our city, there should be two units that can do hydraulic power units. One is the Municipal Heavy Machinery Factory, and the other is the Municipal Loader Factory!

Then I'll go to these two companies tomorrow to find out! Li Weidong said.
