Chapter 622 Special Order
Jiang Yu wants to judge whether there is a market for this small car.
There are basically no problems with the exterior design, the main issue now is the engine.
Can a single-cylinder diesel engine support this car?
A single-cylinder engine is inherently not a high-end thing. As soon as people hear this churning sound, the grade will naturally drop two gears. Will anyone pay for it?
It is different from a tricycle. Tricycles are inherently resistant, and they are used to do farm work. The price is also there, only three to four thousand yuan.
But this four-wheeled vehicle is different. It is not here to do farm work. If you ask it to pull sand, the one-meter bucket is not suitable for pulling heavy goods at all.
And its price will definitely be much more expensive than a tricycle.
So whether it can achieve the expected purpose is hard to say for Jiang Yu.
After all, in the 1990s of his previous life, he had never seen anything configured like this in the Northeast.
Regardless of whether it can become a successful product, let's test the performance of this car now.
After Luo came first to install the cab, the car looked like that.
This strange little car began its arduous journey.
Climbing mountains and wading, uphill and downhill, the two test drivers took turns driving it almost all over the mountains and rivers of the East River.
After half a month, I ran tens of thousands of kilometers.
There was nothing wrong with the gearbox that Jiang Yu was worried about, which gave Jiang Yu confidence in this car.
"If we run it again and there is no problem with the vehicle after 50,000 kilometers, we will mass-produce it."
During the half month of testing this small car on the road, Jiang Yu was not idle.
At the Liao Provincial Industrial Products Expo in June, Jianshan Township enterprises participated in the exhibition as an exhibition group.
On display were seamed and seamless steel pipes, 195, 1000, and 1005 single-cylinder diesel engines, three styles of agricultural three-wheeled transport vehicles, various electrical switches and sockets, various energy-saving light bulbs, etc.
Because the previous two industrial product exhibitions achieved good results, this third exhibition not only actively participated in the enterprises from the province, but also attracted enterprises from other provinces to participate.
There was an endless stream of businessmen from other provinces, setting a new exhibition record.
These people come to the exhibition not for free, a considerable proportion of them come to purchase various products.
Weilai's products already have some foundations, so it is not surprising to receive orders, but I can't understand why Mao Mao will receive so many orders for this year's exhibition.
Almost all the exhibits at this exhibition received unexpected orders.
Even Yanshuihe anti-theft doors and windows, which is not Weilai but formed a group with Weilai, has received orders worth tens of millions.
Some people in Fengwobao don't understand why there are so many orders this year, but Jiang Yu naturally understands.
This is all the power of advertising.
Advertising is starting to work now, and there will be a larger business wave coming during the opening period of the Asian Games and some time after it ends.
What enterprises in Fengwobao Village need to do now is to expand their scale, increase production capacity, and wait for the arrival of the consumer tide.
In addition to arranging the work of the village enterprises and his own enterprise, he also drew a main view of the n85 engine and gave it to Luo Xian to study, and then he wandered around Lingqian Village for two days.
Lingqian Village is located in the southwest of Fengwobao Village, 300 meters to the north is Lingdong Village, 300 to 400 meters to the east is Hexi Village, and to the west across the small ridge is the Nangang of Huangling Village.
Two hundred meters south is the county-level highway that passes through Fengwobao Village and goes straight to Hongdao. The southern section of the highway is not under the jurisdiction of Fengwobao Village, but is under the jurisdiction of Boutoudian Village.
What Jiang Yu was looking at was the 200-meter section from Lingqian Village to the main road.
There is an earthen village road from Lingqian Village to the main road. About two to three hundred meters west of the earthen road is the lower slope of the southern section of Xiaoling.
He plans to build four cement basketball courts here and a square to hold sports games next year.
While he was thinking about it, his pager rang.
He took out his pager and saw that it was the seamless steel pipe factory's phone number.
Jiang Yu rode a motorcycle to the seamless steel pipe factory.
"Mr. Jiang! You came just in time. Those people placed a strange order for us to process a type of pipe."
The acting director of the seamless steel pipe factory explained.
"What kind of pipes are processed?"
"It's a special kind of pipe, I think it's a gun barrel!"
"Are you sure?"
"When I was a soldier, I made cannons in the arsenal."
Jiang Yu frowned.
"Did the other party say what unit they belong to?"
"No! They just asked us to make a few samples. If they pass, there will be a big order."
"Where's the person who placed the order?"
"Went to the Kanshang workshop."
"Take me to see it."
Soon, Jiang Yu saw the other party. Although the other party was wearing plain clothes, he could tell at a glance that the other party might be someone in service.
Jiang Yu and the other party first exchanged pleasantries.
"Comrades, what unit do you belong to?"
"We are from Songyang Yuandong Machinery Factory." A person who looked like the leader replied.
"What products does your factory produce?"
"It's not convenient for us to answer this."
"Then can I ask what the product you want us to make is used for?"
"It's not convenient for us to answer."
"Comrade! This can't work! If you don't tell us the whole story, we won't accept the order. We won't do it no matter how much you pay."
"Why?"
"Because I suspect that the thing you want to process is a gun barrel. This is not something that can be processed casually."
The other party was stunned: "Why do you think he is a cannon?"
Isn’t this nonsense? They are all rifled, so what is it if it’s not a barrel?
"This comrade! All the workers in our factory have been in the army, and quite a few of them have also worked in arsenals. It's not easy to get to know a gun barrel."
"Oh! Are all the people in your company composed of retired soldiers?"
"We have two companies where many demobilized soldiers are working, with a total number of more than 800 people. Most of our demobilized soldiers in Donghe County within the past ten years are working in Weilai Company."
"Haha! Then it's even more right to turn to you. We are also from a military industry company. We accidentally saw the seamless steel pipes you produce in the market. We feel that your equipment is much more advanced than the equipment we use."
"You're not really going to let us produce gun barrels, are you?"
"If you can produce better quality gun barrels, we are ready to let you produce several batches."
"I'm afraid this will be difficult to handle! We are just a village-run enterprise, and it is against the rules to produce military products."
"Aren't the rules made by humans?"
"But we don't have gun steel, so we can't use ordinary steel to make gun barrels, right?"
"As long as you can produce qualified samples, we will be responsible for the materials."
Chapter completed!
