Chapter 345 Always one step ahead

Technicians removed the rear axle assembly from the crashed tricycle and tested it.

The test results show that this rear axle assembly can only provide braking for more than one ton of cargo. If you pull two tons of cargo, there will be problems with the braking, and the car will not be able to stop.

After getting this conclusion, Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the rear axle assembly developed by the tractor factory does not exceed the Japanese technology of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

You can't stand still, the pace of research and development cannot stop for a moment, and you must maintain the leading edge in agricultural tricycles. It is imperative to recruit new research and development personnel for agricultural machinery factories. But where to dig people?

Du Jiahai has been promoted to the deputy director of the agricultural machinery factory, and he is responsible for more things. Naturally, he cannot stay in the technical department all day to engage in research and development.

Talents, talents, it's really hard to find, it's a headache! Li Weidong rubbed his temples.

Why don't we choose a group of fresh high school students to come to the agricultural machinery factory? No, the agricultural machinery factory does not need ordinary technicians, but R\u0026D personnel. The level of high school graduates can be trained as technicians, but it is not enough to be trained as R\u0026D personnel. .

Continue to set up a scientific research center for agricultural machinery equipment in Shanghai? This is not right. Agricultural machinery is not a household appliance. The research and development investment of agricultural machinery is huge, and it is necessary to go to the farmland to conduct field experiments. If it is placed in a big city, the research and development cost is too high.

Li Weidong instantly rejected these two ideas.

If it is a state-owned agricultural machinery research institute, it does not matter if it is placed in a big city. Although the research and development cost in a big city is high, the state can afford it.

For example, the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences can have farmland within the third ring road of the capital. State-owned agricultural machinery research institutions are fully capable of conducting experiments in large urban circles.

The agricultural machinery research team established by the enterprise itself cannot afford this money. If the company has the ability to carry out agricultural machinery tests in first- and second-tier cities, wouldn’t it be more fragrant to directly take the land and build a building?

Therefore, agricultural machinery research centers, unlike microwave oven research centers, can be placed in big cities.

Li Weidong sighed lightly: The scale of the company is still too small, and the talent strategy can only be taken one step at a time!

...

Gao Chongguang walked into an agricultural machinery station with great interest. He wanted to investigate on the spot how the agricultural tricycles produced by the tractor factory were sold.

Do you have agricultural tricycles here? Gao Chongguang asked.

What are you looking for is a Fukang agricultural vehicle? Over there! Go and see for yourself,

Look good and call me. The staff of the Agricultural Machinery Exhibition said.

Hearing that the staff recommended Fukang agricultural vehicles, Gao Chongguang was a little unhappy, and he said, You should have the agricultural tricycles produced by the city tractor factory, right?

Yes, in that corner. The staff pointed to another direction.

Gao Chongguang walked over immediately, and then saw a dusty agricultural tricycle, which was produced by the tractor factory.

Judging from the thickness of the dust, no one should have seen this agricultural tricycle for a long time.

Gao Chongguang immediately asked, Why do you put this car in such a corner to eat ashes?

No one buys it, why don't you put it in a corner to eat ashes! The staff said with a smile.

Why no one buys it? Gao Chongguang asked subconsciously.

They've all gone to buy the Fukang brand. The staff replied honestly.

However, Gao Chongguang retorted: Aren't they all agricultural tricycles? I think the ones produced by our city tractor factory are the same as those produced by the Fukang factory!

It's different, the difference is big. The staff continued: The agricultural tricycle produced by the tractor factory is similar to the previous Fukang No. 1. But now the Fukang No. 1 is no longer popular, and the new Fukang No. 2 is popular. !

What is Fukang No. 2 like? Gao Chongguang asked immediately.

Fukang No. 2 is over there, I'll show you. The staff member was also enthusiastic, and brought Gao Chongguang to the side of the Fukang agricultural vehicle.

This one is a Fukang 201, can you see the cargo box at the back? It is one-third larger than the original one, and it can carry one-third more cargo! And it runs more stably than the old model in front of you.

The staff pointed to another agricultural vehicle with a cockpit, and then introduced: This is the Beverly 202. It has a special cockpit, which can protect from the wind and rain. You see, there are wipers in front of it. It can also rain heavily.”

Gao Chongguang stepped forward, observed it carefully, and then saw the design of four wheels behind it, which were combined in twos, and instantly understood.

There are four wheels at the back, which enhances the carrying capacity, so it can pull more cargo. At the same time, the four wheels will have stronger grip, and it will naturally be more stable to run. This Li Weidong actually knows how to use this Trick, I really underestimated him before! Gao Chongguang secretly said in his heart.

Gao Chongguang has been a tractor for so many years, and he still has basic theoretical knowledge, so he can see the clue at a glance.

The staff went on to introduce: Here are the Fukang 203 and the Fukang 204. These two agricultural vehicles have added the function of self-unloading. By pressing a button, the cargo box at the back can be erected and the goods inside can be poured out.

Self-unloading? That requires a hydraulic power unit! Gao Chongguang was shocked.

The hydraulic tool unit was considered a relatively high-tech thing at that time, at least the tractor factory of Gao Chongguang could not do it.

This Li Weidong can actually think of adding a self-unloading function to the agricultural vehicle, and he can also get a hydraulic power unit!

Gao Chongguang's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he finally realized that this was an opponent who was constantly improving himself.

The tractor factory has not even solved the technology of the rear axle assembly. Fukang has launched the second-generation agricultural vehicle, which has an increased load and a self-unloading function.

In this way, when other cottage manufacturers solve the technical problems of the rear axle assembly and the hydraulic power unit, they can catch up with the Beverly No. 2.

And when the cottage manufacturers are going to solve the hydraulic power unit, the Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory will definitely launch a new model, and the Fukang No. 3 and Fukang No. 4 have come out again.

In this way, Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory will always be one step ahead.

New products are always the most profitable. If copycat manufacturers cannot bridge the technical gap, they can only follow the Fukang factory and eat some leftovers.

It's over! Gao Chongguang shouted secretly. He had realized that in the face of the new agricultural vehicle, the old model of his cottage would have no market.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have gone to waste again!

...

At this time, Li Weidong had already arrived in Shanghai.

This time, Li Weidong came to Shanghai City mainly for two things.

There is good news from the Home Appliance Research Institute. The orange juice machine has been successfully developed. Of course, Li Weidong wants to come and take a look.

For Tang Hao, a top student in the Department of Physics at Jiaotong University, designing an orange juice machine seemed relatively easy.

Another thing is to welcome the delegation from Xizhi Electric. This is related to how many OEM orders Xizhi Electric will give next year. At the same time, Li Weidong is also thinking about getting Xizhi Electric's microwave oven production line into his own hands.

In the Home Appliance Research Institute, Tang Hao cut an orange with his own hands, and then showed Li Weidong the orange juice machine.

Two oranges squeezed out more than half a cup of pure juice, and the juice yield was quite high.

Li Weidong took the cup and took a sip. The orange juice was a little sour, probably because the varieties of oranges in this era were not good enough.

Then Li Weidong picked up another half of the used orange peel and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the orange flesh inside had been squeezed clean, leaving only the inner flesh of Bai Shengsheng.

Yes, the squeeze is very thorough. Li Weidong picked up an orange and cut it in half. He wanted to try the orange juice machine himself.

Half of the orange pressed against the cone, and immediately after feeling the pressure, the cone began to turn, squeezing the juice from the pulp.

After ten turns, the conical protrusion suddenly stopped, then turned in the opposite direction, stopped again after ten turns, and returned to the original direction.

Well done, this is the effect I want! It's easy to use, easy to operate, and won't hurt your hands. Even children can squeeze orange juice and drink it themselves! Li Weidong said with a smile.

After being praised by Li Weidong, Tang Hao also showed a relieved smile on his face.

The orange juice machine is Tang Hao's first battle when he joins the research institute. Of course, he must do his best to prove his ability.

After all, Tang Hao is Tang Renjie's son. Tang Hao doesn't want to be treated as a relationship by his boss. He still expects Li Weidong to recognize his ability.

Gong Tang, thank you for your hard work. Li Weidong continued; I will ask the accountant to allocate 2,000 yuan, which is a project bonus for you!

Two thousand dollars! Tang Hao was overjoyed. If he was still in the fifth component factory, he would not be able to make so much money in a year.

However, Tang Hao declined and said, Director Li, I have already received three times my salary, how can I be so embarrassed to ask for your project bonus!

One yard is one yard, wages are wages, and bonuses are bonuses. Don't say no to Tang Gong. What's more, there are new projects waiting for you! Li Weidong said.

What project? Tang Hao asked immediately.

Li Weidong said, Tang Gong studied applied physics. He should be involved in thermals, electrodynamics and electrical circuits, right?

Tang Hao nodded: I understand all of these, other than optics, analytical mechanics, thermodynamics, solid state physics, and material physics, I have also learned them all.

I plan to improve the electric iron, and I hope Tang Gong can be the person in charge of this project. Li Weidong said.

No problem! Tang Hao agreed immediately, and he continued: Director Li, since I'm in charge of a project, can you assign me a few people?

Don't you have anyone under your command? You made this orange juice maker yourself? Why didn't Old Tang assign someone to you? Li Weidong asked in surprise.

Tang Hao smiled awkwardly and said, My dad originally sent me two people, but I didn't want it. I want to finish this orange juice machine myself.

Li Weidong instantly understood Tang Hao's intentions. Tang Hao was probably worried that if he accepted the assistant sent by Tang Renjie, even if he made an orange juice machine, he would be misunderstood that Tang Renjie helped him secretly.

So Tang Hao chose one person to complete the research and development of the orange juice machine. In this way, he could prove to Li Weidong that he was capable, not relying on his father's help to develop the orange juice machine.

Now that Li Weidong has recognized Tang Hao's ability, Tang Hao doesn't mind asking for a few assistants.

After understanding Tang Hao's careful thinking, Li Weidong immediately agreed: Okay, I'll go back and ask Old Tang Gong to send you a few more assistants.

Director Li, I don't want my dad's staff, I want to hire a few assistants myself, not many, three are enough. Tang Hao said.

It seems that Tang Hao doesn't want to live in his father's shadow! But it's normal. Father and son are in the same unit, and father is the leader. No matter how capable a child is, he will be regarded as a related household. Li Weidong secretly said in his heart.

Li Weidong, who was born as a son of a state-owned enterprise, is quite aware of this.

Li Weidong just replaced Li Dengke. When he entered the transportation company, when people introduced Li Weidong, they would add the sentence This is the son of the old accountant Li.

However, when Li Weidong became famous, the situation would be reversed. People would say that your old accountant Li was Li Weidong's father.

Li Dengke is an accountant with little power in the transportation company, so this reversal will happen. If Li Dengke is the leader of the company, perhaps when people introduce Li Weidong, they will always say this is the son of Secretary Li or Manager Li.

If it is an incompetent second generation of the factory, he will probably be satisfied with the title of So-and-so leader's son and use it as a blessing.

And if you have the ability to plant the second generation, you should really want to get rid of the influence of your parents and prove that you are a capable person, instead of relying on the blessing of your parents to achieve success.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong nodded: Okay, then you can recruit experimental assistants yourself! But I have to say the ugly thing in front of you. The assistants you recruit must be really useful people.

Director Li, don't worry, I already have suitable candidates, all three are college students! Tang Hao replied.

College student? Li Weidong was slightly surprised.

In 1992, college students were still the top performers in the workplace. If Tang Hao could recruit college students, Li Weidong would have lost his wish.

So Li Weidong asked, Gong Tang, are college students willing to come to us?

Yes, definitely willing! Tang Hao nodded affirmatively, and then explained: Actually, the three people I'm looking for are not the general admissions of the university, but the universities who passed the adult college entrance examination. The gold content is much lower.”

So it is. Li Weidong nodded.

As early as 1950, Peking University opened the first cadre specialization course, which is the earliest adult college entrance examination in China.

In 1952, Renmin University established a correspondence department and set up correspondence stations in many places, creating a precedent for China to hold formal recognition of higher education in the form of correspondence and evening classes.

In 1986, the national college entrance examination for adults was completed for the first time. Since then, the college entrance examination for adults has become a very popular thing.

After all, the admission rate of colleges at that time was not high, and most people could not enter the university through the ordinary college entrance examination. The adult college entrance examination became the best way for many people to realize their college dreams.

The key is that the state recognizes the qualifications of the college entrance examination for adults, such as promotion of cadres and evaluation of professional titles.

However, after all, the adult college entrance examination is not a unified enrollment, and the academic qualifications are not as valuable as the college graduates who are recruited. At least when looking for a job, the college entrance examination for adults should be treated differently from the college graduates who are recruited.

In Li Weidong's small temple, the college students who are recruited by the unified recruitment may not be willing to come, but the adults with the college entrance examination degree are still willing to fight for three times their salary.

Suddenly, Li Weidong remembered the establishment of a scientific research team in the agricultural machinery factory.

How can I forget about the adult college entrance examination! I can't get the college students who are recruited by the general admissions program. I can look for the adult college entrance examination degree! Although the adult college entrance examination degree is of low gold content, it can be regarded as having experienced professional education.

Moreover, among the employees of the agricultural machinery factory, there are also graduates of technical secondary schools and high schools. I can let them take the adult college entrance examination. The big deal is to give more subsidies to those employees who have passed the exam, let them study full-time, and when they come back after graduation, I will have R\u0026D talents!
