Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 975 Arms?

The problems of Factory 816 and Factory Chang'an have been solved, leaving only Factory Jialing.

Compared with the other two factories, Jialing Factory has no advantages at all.

After all, their factory used to mainly produce guns and cannons, and its only technical advantage was that it used steel instead of copper.

Unfortunately, in our country, especially in military-industrial enterprises, there is no such thing as patents.

As soon as this technology was born, all military factories could use it. As a result, although the Jialing Factory was quite famous, it did not have any equipment or technical advantages.

At this time, the leaders of Jialing Factory stood aside, watching the leaders of Factory 816 and Changan Factory smiling happily, but they were extremely envious in their hearts.

He looked at Chen Changan eagerly, hoping that Chen Changan could also think of a way out for Jialing Factory.

"Changan, if you want to do good things, you should do them to the end. You can't forget that the leader of the Jialing Factory is also here."

Chen Changan naturally would not forget the Jialing Factory, which became famous in later generations.

"Uncle Nie, do you still remember what our automobile factory originally produced?"

Uncle Nie said somewhat uncertainly.

"motorcycle?"

After all, Chen Changan started his business by making honeycomb coal. It's impossible for him to let Jialing Factory produce honeycomb coal, right?

“Yes, a motorcycle.

As a military-industrial enterprise, Jialing Factory certainly has no problem with parts processing.

In terms of quality, with so many veteran military workers, I believe that Jialing Factory has military industry guarantees, which will also reassure people.

Finally, there is the issue of technology. Similarly, our automobile factory will transfer the complete set of motorcycle production technology to the Jialing factory free of charge.

At most, some equipment will need to be solved by Jialing Factory itself.”

“No problem, I’ll ask my superiors for any equipment I need.

We have such a big factory, if they say we will convert our military to civilian use, you should at least give us some support, right?

It is also good to produce motorcycles. Not only will they be needed by the army, but also by civilians. In this way, it can be considered half military and half civilian.

It’s good to produce motorcycles, it’s good to produce motorcycles, thank you Director Chen for your selfless help.

When our Jialing factory is able to produce motorcycles, we will definitely donate a batch of them to the automobile factory."

“No need, if you can sell it, you should sell it first. After all, you are in a difficult situation when the military-to-civilian transition has just started.

Our car factory doesn't lack these. Let's make more money and pay the workers more.

Like Changan Factory, it would be best for you to produce small motorcycles in the beginning.

Not only is the technology easy to manufacture and the cost low, it is also easier to sell.

Gradually accumulate experience and technology, accumulate funds, and when the time is right, you can become bigger and stronger and create brilliance. "

The leader of Jialing Factory was very excited. He held Chen Changan's hand tightly and shook it up and down.

Uncle Nie on the side said.

"Changan, you have a motorcycle factory under your car factory. There won't be any conflict between their production and Jialing Factory's, right?"

"What kind of conflict could there be with Uncle Nie? It's just like the fertilizer produced by Factory 816.

The 43 Plan introduced so many fertilizer production lines, but didn’t we still lack fertilizer in the end?

How many factories in the country can produce qualified motorcycles?

As people's living standards improve, especially in the mountainous areas of the southwest, the demand for motorcycles will certainly be very great.

I believe that Jialing Factory will become a best-selling brand in our country by producing motorcycles."

The motorcycle factory under the automobile factory is only a nominal subordinate unit.

In the past few years, it has basically become a promotion channel for many people, from a unit that could still earn some foreign exchange to a unit that is completely domestically sold.

Chen Changan didn't bother to care about their lives or deaths, and handed over the motorcycle's production technical data to Jialing Factory.

At least Jialing Factory is grateful, which can be considered as Chen Changan's connection.

It's just technical data, just a copy. The car factory won't suffer any loss and can also gain favor from Jialing Factory. Why not do it?

Uncle Nie just asked casually about the motorcycle factory. After all, the leader in charge of the motorcycle factory was not from the same faction as Uncle Nie.

As long as it's not intentional, it's not a big problem.

The problems of the three factories were solved. The leaders of Factory 816 hurried back to find their superiors and prepared to arrange for their factory's technicians to visit and learn about the production and equipment of the fertilizer factory.

After all, although Chen Changan said it very easily, the actual situation can only be determined after comparison and investigation.

Watching the leaders of Factory 816 leave in a hurry, the leaders of Chang'an Factory and Jialing Factory looked at Chen Chang'an eagerly.

The situation of these two factories is different from that of Factory 816. They can produce fertilizers by relying on the original equipment and making slight improvements.

As for the production technology of fertilizers, the automobile factories cannot provide it either.

But their two factories are different. The production of Changan Factory and Jialing Factory still relies on the technical data of the automobile factory.

"Let's go. It's almost time for lunch. Would you two leaders mind going to the cafeteria of our automobile factory and having a simple meal?"

The two factory leaders were overjoyed when they received Chen Changan's invitation. After saying a few brief words to Uncle Nie, the three of them walked out of Uncle Nie's office shoulder to shoulder.

Both of them came to Sijiu City by train. After getting into Chen Changan's car, they couldn't help but look at each other carefully.

Chen Changan's pickup truck looks ordinary. The two people wanted to praise Chen Changan's car, but unfortunately they didn't know where to start.

"Director Chen, this is the pickup truck that is exported overseas? Do you think our Changan factory can produce it?"

Chen Changan said while driving.

"Of course it can be produced. As long as the quality is good, the truck is durable and the price is right, this pickup truck will be owned by almost everyone in the Middle East countries where there is no shortage of oil.

In particular, some organizations like to mount machine guns on pickup trucks and use them as armored vehicles.”

The leaders of the Changan factory were stunned at first. They didn't expect that this was the reason for the high sales of pickup trucks.

"Would this be considered arms? Selling arms requires approval from higher-ups, right?"

"What kind of munitions are pickup trucks? You are only responsible for production. What the buyer does with them is none of your business.

If I sell steel and others use the steel to produce weapons, does that have anything to do with me?

If that’s the case, I might as well not sell anything. If I sell food, it might be processed into military rations.”

"That's true. They are far away in the Middle East. Their fight has nothing to do with us."

The words from the Changan Factory leader immediately made Chen Changan thoughtful.

The Middle East is currently in the Iran-Iraq War, and this coincides with our massive military reduction of one million men, so our military factories are running out of work.

If this is connected with that side and arms are sold, domestic arms manufacturers can start production overnight.

I don't know how many workers' jobless problems can be solved at once. I must talk to Uncle Nie about this.

But there were two other passengers in the car, so Chen Changan had to suppress the urge to go back to find Uncle Nie and first took the two guests to the car factory.
