Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 632 The Situation of the New Motorcycle Factory

As time came to the end of the year, Chen Changan had to start attending meetings frequently in his other capacity.

As an advisor to the Planning Committee, it was only natural that Chen Changan was invited to attend the meeting.

Chen Changan had given advice to many people before, and these were all opinions given by Chen Changan in private.

Once it comes to light, Chen Changan generally won't admit it.

When participating in such meetings, Chen Changan would usually be careful with his words and actions and would not be the first to speak out.

This time Chen Changan learned his lesson and didn't dare sit in those corners anymore.

I found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down.

I just sat there quietly, holding a thick notebook and a pen.

As for sleeping? Or reading a newspaper? Chen Changan didn't dare to do that anyway.

Chen Changan did not pay attention to the speeches of several leaders until Uncle Nie came on stage to speak. Only then did Chen Changan raise his head and give Uncle Nie some face.

The meeting discussed the development of transistors and semiconductors.

And the subsequent discussion on whether or not to vigorously develop semiconductors.

Chen Changan kept silent. He didn't know anything about semiconductors. Chen Changan didn't want to say anything.

During this period, it is difficult to develop anything, as it is about to reach its climax.

Chen Changan just wanted to hide in the car factory and not show his head. He just wanted to get through these few years quickly.

As for semiconductors, Chen Changan wanted to develop it. Even if he didn't understand it, he could develop it by finding someone who knew about it.

And this period is actually a good time to catch up with the world.

If coupled with some of Chen Changan's later ideas, there can actually be good development.

It’s a pity that Chen Changan didn’t dare to move. Maintaining the status quo was a good choice.

The meeting was over, and Chen Changan really didn't say a word during the meeting.

As soon as he walked out of the meeting room, Chen Changan was stopped by Mr. Nie's secretary.

After the secretary took Chen Changan to a room and poured him a glass of water, he left.

After a while, Uncle Nie walked in.

"Changan, what happened today? Why didn't you say a word in the meeting?"

"What can I say? I don't know anything about semiconductors or transistors.

I have always adhered to the principle of experts guiding laymen, and I know a little about mechanics.

But when it comes to semiconductors, I am a layman. If I say something wrong, wouldn’t I be laughed at?”

Uncle Nie said with a smile.

"You're implying something. I don't even understand mechanics, so I can't be your leader, right?"

"How can it be the same? I am the factory manager, and that is a technical position.

You need to understand some technology, because your position requires you to coordinate the overall situation.

I didn’t say you couldn’t be my leader.”

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I called you here mainly to ask you about the situation at the car factory."

"You say."

"According to our calculations, a war is likely to break out in the Middle East soon.

Once the war breaks out over there, it will be difficult to transport our pickup trucks in.

Therefore, your car factories need to adjust the production of pickup trucks.

We have made quite a bit of money in this wave. If we continue to produce like this, it will probably lead to a backlog.

So let me discuss with you, has the automobile factory conducted any new research recently?

Can you create some new products? The design department of your car factory

There are many designs on the wall, and I still drool when I think of them.”

"Uncle Nie, as many temporary workers in our automobile factory gradually start to get started.

In fact, pickup trucks don't require so many people, and this time's production cut will indeed free up a lot of manpower to produce other products.

However, other products are not very mature at present, and the only new product is the heavy-duty truck.

Even if a war breaks out in the Middle East, pickup trucks will still have a good production volume worldwide.

So the pickup trucks definitely cannot stop, and the off-road trucks are also supplying the troops.

What I can think of at the moment is heavy-duty trucks, which are also in short supply at the moment.

In addition, I don’t know if you leaders need jeeps. If so, we can also produce jeeps in small batches.”

"Okay, let's do as you say. Many companies are urging us to produce jeeps as soon as possible.

Our country is still poor, we don’t have anything we want.”

"I don't agree that we don't have what we want. Our country is vast and has abundant resources. We have everything we want.

We are just lagging behind temporarily. Look at our automobile factories. Our vehicles are no worse than those of other countries.

We will gradually catch up in other areas. I never think we are worse than others.

In just the past few decades, the entire country has been devastated.

But looking at the entire human history, most of our countries have stood at the top of the world.

I am confident that in the coming decades, our country will get better and better.”

"You are more confident than me. I just want the people of the country to have enough food and clothing.

Most people can live in houses like the ones in your automobile factory residential area. I will be satisfied.

Let’s not talk about these anymore. At present, it seems that the six machinery factories arranged by the ministry are having a good effect.

For several new products of your automobile factory, you still need to continue to produce some simple parts for them.

This is a very good choice for both production and training of workers.”

“Don’t worry, our car factory doesn’t want to produce parts that are too simple.

Even some temporary workers are qualified to be regular employees based on their level.

It’s just that our car factory has been suppressing them.

High standards and strict requirements. If they really can’t do it, we will arrange for them to go to the machinery factory.”

Uncle Nie nodded and continued.

“There is another matter, which is about the new motorcycle factory.

Hou Mingjun went to the new motorcycle factory and made some achievements.

At present, the new motorcycle factory has begun to produce two-wheeled motorcycles and three-wheeled load-carrying motorcycles.

However, both the quality and output are not satisfactory.

In terms of quality, the problem lies mainly with the engine, and there are too many unqualified products.

The output is not even half of what you had at the beginning. Not to mention exporting, even self-sufficiency is not enough.

Especially three-wheeled heavy-duty motorcycles. Now the Haihe River Control Engineering Department has responded.

Many people don't want to use the heavy-duty motorcycles produced by the new motorcycle factory.

Otherwise I have to use an old tricycle, and if that doesn't work I would rather carry it on my shoulders than use this.

Do you have any suggestions for the new motorcycle factory?"

Chen Changan was silent for a while after hearing this. What suggestions could he have?

Hou Mingjun has been with him since the construction of the motorcycle factory began.

Hou Mingjun has seen all the regulations and all the methods.

Even if we just copy what they did at the new motorcycle factory, it shouldn't be too bad.

There are only two reasons why it may not work out now.

The first is that the technical workers in the factory are too poor, or some people deliberately do not do their job well.

The second is that those young masters intervened. No matter which situation it was, Chen Changan was powerless.
