Chapter 109 Things urge people to do

Pudong, Taikoo Yanghang warehouse, this warehouse built by the river is no different from most Yanghang warehouses in Pudong. There are three-storey red brick wall foundation, nine-storey wall columns, the wall foundation is 6 feet high, and then facing up is a simple wooden wall, wooden beam and tile roof. For these foreign banks, the construction of Pudong's warehouse is only for temporary Inventory, even just for renting out, is never a rational move for any foreign bank to have a large amount of inventory.

Because of this, the simple warehouses on the banks of the Pudong River are dispensable for foreign banks. Naturally, when someone is willing to bid, these foreign banks are happy to sell the original idle or semi-idle warehouses in exchange for the money they pursue in China.

As an old foreign bank, Taikoo Yang's warehouse in Pudong can also show the style of a big ocean bank. There are several simple iron column pulley cranes on a bluestone pile next to a 15-meter steel beam wooden trestle bridge near the river. In a large warehouse covering an area of nearly 100 mu, there are dozens of large warehouses in the U-shaped shape. In the past, most of these were out. The rented large warehouse has now changed its owner, and the industrial company bought this large warehouse four months ago.

Unlike those warehouses along the river, after buying this warehouse, it was not demolished or converted into a workers' dormitory or temporarily used for the old use. Three months ago, a brand "industrial company machine factory" was hung at the outer gate of the warehouse wall. A chimney was erected next to a small warehouse by the river, which was a machine. The power generation room of the factory has become a machine factory with nearly 300 machines under the guidance of dozens of Chinese and foreign technicians.

The roar of the machine also came from that day in this Linjiang warehouse. Most of the workers working here are old workers in Shanghai machine factories such as Xiangsheng Shipyard, Yesong Shipyard and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, who are attracted by wages ranging from 1 yuan to 2 yuan a day. Double the salary is enough to attract the best workers. .

Two months ago, when the machine factory posted a recruitment notice, although there were only 500 jobs, for that double the salary, thousands of job seekers gathered at the gate of the factory on the same day, waiting for a new job. This has been the case for several days in a row, and there are more and more people, and there are even many of the best craftsmen in Shanghai's machine factories, shipyards and iron factories. Even after the announcement of full recruitment, the crowded crowd outside the door asked the company whether to continue to recruit workers in the future.

Double the salary level has caused an uproar in Shanghai and even Jiangsu. It was in the scolding of peers from all walks of life that the industrial company's machine factory opened, but this machine factory has been manufacturing all kinds of construction engineering machines since the beginning of construction, and occasionally producing some equipment needed by Jianghuai Road Mining Company in the eyes of the outside world. This is just an internal sales factory built by an industrial company to reduce the cost.

In the corner of the factory, there is a small factory. Unlike other factories with machines, there are no machines in this factory. There are only a few broken cars and all kinds of parts. Every day, more than a dozen workers assist Li Xifa. The engineers hired by this factory are here. Work.

Knowing people's kindness may be one of Chen Moran's biggest characteristics. Because Li Xifa once "tricked" with cars in the United States, he naturally became the most important technical backbone in this factory, with more than 20 industrial and technical schools here to play with the cars developed by the chairman.

With the roar of the engine, twenty-six students and Li Xifa gathered around the test platform together. Looking at the smooth running transmission system, their eyes were full of surprise and joy. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid it would be really hard for them to believe that the chairman could design this What a set of superior and unique gear transmission system.

And Chen Moran, whose hands and canvas overalls are full of oil, are also proud. His graduation design when he graduated from college is a set of planetary gear transmission system, which is just a simplified and reduced version in the design of that year.

Li Xifa, who was shocked, couldn't help shouting when testing this original transmission system on the test bench.

"Through the clutch and gear lever, the forward and reverse of the car are controlled, and the transmission is flexible... Uh-huh! It's just as smooth as a planet orbiting the sun!"

Although he is a little proud, Chen Moran knows that his transmission system is not even as complex as the transmission system of a tractor that costs thousands of yuan in later generations, but it is an epoch-making product in this era.

Li Xifa's words only made Chen Moran happy, but nothing has changed after all.

"Hmm! Then call him the planetary gear transmission system!"

"Chairman, this... how does this work!"

Li Xi, sitting on the test platform, looked at the chairman in surprise. He didn't expect that he casually said something and was named for the transmission system invented by the chairman.

"What's wrong? You see, the solar wheel, planetary frame and inner gear can rotate around a common fixed axis. Isn't it like a small solar system? I think this planetary gear transmission system is just right for it!"

He waved his hand, but Chen Moran lay on another workbench and studied the gasoline engine. This $250 two-cylinder gasoline engine is one of the dozens of engines purchased through foreign banks three weeks ago. The most attractive thing about it is that, in addition to its low fuel consumption, it is in addition to gasoline. In addition, kerosene and alcohol can also be used as fuel.

"It's really the era of mechanics!"

Although this simple engine has been studied thoroughly for a long time, Chen Moran can't help admiring the designer's whimsy. In this era of no gas stations, gasoline is not available everywhere. On the contrary, kerosene used for lighting is very common, and this motor can be used for kerosene. Material.

On the side, there is a pile of piecemeal parts, which are engine parts produced by the factory. It is completely based on the four-cylinder 24-horsepower "multi-fuel engine" made by this two-cylinder "gasoline engine". Now it is just the beginning of assembly.

While Chen Moran was studying the engine there, a student from an industrial school walked to him shyly with a piece of paper.

"Chairman, look, this is the car drawing I drew!"

After taking over the drawing, there is little difference between the appearance of the car and the appearance of the car bought by the company, but it looks more "rich"! It is close to the appearance of the classic car that people in later generations are used to.

"This car is well designed!"

When he nodded and praised, Chen Moran looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face after being praised.

"However, what we want to build is the kind of car that everyone can buy. This kind of car is a little... Well, it's too rich! And the cost must be high. In the future, the car we make will be the kind of car with large wheels and high chassis. The car should be as simple as possible. There is no need for an odometer, a fuel display meter, or even a windshield. You can't find anything flashy in this kind of car. The place."

Chen Moran waved his oily hands again.

"It's designed for the public, a kind of Volkswagen that everyone can afford, right! It's Volkswagen, and our car brand will be "Volkswagen!" in the future.

Perhaps he felt that the shy teenager seemed to be a little frustrated, but Chen Moran encouraged him again.

"Of course, this is only our first step. We have to rely on cheap and simple cars to get the reputation of our Volkswagen. Now the cheapest car sold in the United States and Europe costs more than 3,000 dollars. Relying on the domestic market, we can't do it. We can only use our brains in the European and American markets. We have to Relying on that kind of car with a few hundred dollars to occupy the foreign market. When we occupy the market and open up the reputation in the future, we can re-produce high-end cars like this, and at that time, we have also accumulated inspection and technology. In short, step by step, your idea is good, and we will continue to work hard in the future.

Just as Chen Moran encouraged the teenager, there was a rapid gunfire outside the factory. If it was in the machine factory, the roar of the machine would suppress the gunshots, but in this factory with almost no machines, although the gunshots were a little stuffy, they still reached the ears.

When the gunfire sounded, most of the people in the factory here did not respond. They were used to the gunfire here. Like the workers in the factory, they tacitly did not talk about the things in the factory at the request of the factory.

Then another series of gunshots sounded, shooting, long shooting, continuous shooting, the sound of gunfire that had no feeling in other people's ears, but he was happy in Chen Moran's ears. He didn't care to wipe off the oil on his body, but told them to continue to work, so he walked out of the factory yard, and there was a A small room with tall people.

When he pushed open the wooden door outside the door of the small room, the gunfire was clearer. The sound of gunfire in the ear was a rapid and intermittent short shot. He pressed the excitement along the steps. At the end of the steps, he pushed open the thick wooden door wrapped in cotton. The deafening sound of gunfire came. A worker in the room with the light was sitting behind the iron plate, pressing his hand. The pusher, every time he pressed the pusher for a long time, the rapid sound of gunfire sounded in a short or long way.

At the end of the tall tunnel opposite, the multi-layered wooden layer in front of a pile of sandbags had been broken. Just when the bullets were empty, when they were about to change a magazine, the test-fire worker saw the chairman standing beside him and quickly took off the cotton ball in his ear.

"Chairman, you are here"

"It's made!"

Chen Moran, who looked a little surprised, saw the two guns lying on the table next to the worker and asked the worker in charge of test firing. This worker was originally a small worker in charge of test firing in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but now he is still responsible for the test firing of weapons. In recent weeks, the machine factory has been trying to make weapons. At first, the barrel was still At the expense of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the privately purchased machines with barrel hammer forging machines, deep-hole drilling machines and burrowing machines are installed in the factory. In addition to steel, the barrel can already be produced by itself.

"Chairman! This guy is really good. A few days ago, the submachine gun we made was fast or slow. Every time we pulled the trigger, all the loaded bullets were released, and it could not be opened freely. Now this originally decorated wrench can come in handy. If you don't want to play the single, you can play the single if you want, you can play the single, and stop shooting at any time.

The test worker looked a little excited. This was the first time he had seen such a thing.

"Have you tried both of them?"

pointing to the two submachine guns on the table, Chen Moran asked.

"I've tried it all. Just hit it if you want!"

When he was talking, Chen Moran had already taken a ten and a half catties of submachine gun from the table. The gun body had not been baked blue, just like the batch of first-made pistols. It was just a trial product. However, this submachine gun was not produced than the drawings drawn by Chen Moran with a pistol for reverse engineering, but according to the light weapons magazine. The decomposition diagram of the Thomson submachine gun, the simple drawings, and then the craftsmen and technicians in the factory refer to the simple drawings and continue to trial-mand and improve them. More than 100 of them were tried out half a month ago, which cost tens of thousands of yuan.

When Chen Moran was holding a submachine gun and pulling the bolt to test, Ouyang Xiang, who opened the door and came in, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the chairman holding the gun at the test shooting range.

"Chairman, you're here!"

Chen Moran nodded, but held the submachine gun, took a magazine from the table, inserted the slot and pulled the bolt, and pulled the trigger towards the target with the gun. After a few single shots, the back seat was not as strong as expected. The thumb rotated the fast and slow trigger, and then fired a few points in succession until the 30-shot magazine was empty. Come down.

"This gun is well done!"

Touching the pan-metallic body, Chen Moran praised it, but there was some helplessness in his heart. This submachine gun was not prepared for the army, at least the original starting point was not the army, but... "Chairman, that's your original design was reasonable! I'm just perfecting the drawings!"

Ouyang Xiang dared not wave his hand and said that when he studied abroad, he learned machinery, not weapon design.

"In terms of credit, I'm afraid Xiangsheng is not as good as those masters in the factory, just like the improvement of the fast and slow machine, which is the result of the efforts of those masters!"

"I know, you can sign up for the list, and the factory will reward itself! Let's make thirty first!"

After saying that, Chen Moran, who looked a little disappointed, left the simple underground shooting range. After the gun was built, the day would come. Thinking of the upcoming separation, Chen Moran somehow couldn't relax anyway.

Although he was a little reluctant or unwilling, he knew that he had no other better choice, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"Let's go to the island to arrange it!"

After coming out of the infirmary, the healing of the wound made Xu Zhiyuan feel much more relaxed. When he walked towards the trestle according to the regulations, but felt that the eyes of the people around him were a little ambiguous, Xu Zhiyuan just glanced coldly. Those colleagues who looked at him turned their heads to other places at the same time, unwilling to treat him. Shi, he knew why Tongze showed such eyes. Anyone who killed a wolf in the bunker could stay on Yama Mountain for three days.

And what will happen in these three days?

This is a well-known thing. These three days are not just a big holiday. The rooms on Mashan Mountain are men's paradise!

"Brother Xu, you have to take it easy. Don't soften your legs when you go to the island. At that time, you won't be able to hang your face by the foreign instructor!"

The brother rowing the wooden boat smiled, with an envious smile on his ambiguous face.

"Dog said, row your boat! I'm going to raise my body, not to take out my body!"

Xu Zhiyuan, who was leaning against the boat, scolded, but didn't say anything. Just in more than ten minutes, the boat leaned against the Mashan Island, which was only a few miles away from the main island of the beach. There was no trestle on the island. When he jumped on the beach, Xu Zhiyuan only felt refreshed.

Ah, on Mashan, a small island, there are several simple cabins. After getting off the boat, Xu Zhiyuan ignored Tongze's envy and walked straight to the nearest house.

"You're here!"

As soon as Xu Zhiyuan walked to the door, the curtain was lifted. A young woman in a kimono bowed to him in a stiff Chinese. When she saw that he was injured all over, she hurriedly walked to help him.

"Put away your surname, I'm here to nourish my spirit!"

When I was about to help him, Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand and pushed the door over. Because it is not allowed to leave the island during the training, although you can write letters to your family, and the cruel training is enough to let the big guys vent their excess energy. Men are men, and there will always be needs, especially those foreign instructors, especially those who are more so. In the end, at their strong request, the team bought ten from Shanghai. It's a girl.

And here, a few Japanese bitches on Mashan are the place to meet the needs of everyone. Although it is a place to meet the needs of everyone, they have to go through a "fight" to come to this place. Those who are unqualified in training and don't work hard can't come. Only those who are in the forefront of ordinary training results are only once a week. I had the opportunity to stay on the island for three hours.

There are also special cases. Foreign instructors can go to the island for three hours every two days, and only those who have killed with wolves can go to the island to enjoy a three-day "happy hour" after getting injured.

It's just that Xu Zhiyuan is obviously not good at enjoying this happy time. If he were someone else, he might have jumped on it long ago, but he lay down on the tatami and fell asleep.

Or felt that the bitch seemed to be looking at him with resentful eyes, and Xu Zhiyuan turned over and muttered there.

"Don't look at me. Wait for me to sleep at night and see how I will deal with you!"

It's not time to clean up this little bitch. Let's take a rest first. Although I have also rested in the medical hospital, there are gunshots and explosions in that place. You can listen to the big guy's howl day and night. As long as they don't finish training, they will definitely not sleep soundly. Then this way, that quiet!

As soon as she closed her eyes, Xu Zhiyuan fell asleep without half a cigarette, and pulled up her snoring. The woman who knelt next to her just looked at the man quietly and was sold to China by traffickers. She had accepted her fate. Although the girl on this island was lonely, she was much better than the sisters in the courtyard.

"Xu Zhiyuan! Gather up! Gather together!"

Xu Zhiyuan seemed to sleep so deeply that at the moment he heard the shout, he opened his eyes and stood up and rushed out, but he saw the small wooden boat rowing to the beach again.

"Quick! Come up quickly, boss summons!"
