Chapter 156 Sister-in-law, Im sorry for you(2/4)
Lou's father's Volga M24 was idle, but he just disliked the inconvenience of gasoline. Although Li Xuewu gave him gasoline tickets several times, he was embarrassed to always take them from Li Xuewu.
In the end, the car was put directly in the club and used as a bus.
There are several other companies who have the same idea as Lou's father. They are becoming more generous at this time. All the gold has been spent, and the car is nothing.
They bought the Qingyishui Volga M24 together, and Li Xuewu also used it as a wedding car, and now it is parked in the club parking lot.
Zhao Laosi would pass there every day, holding his head high and thinking that one day he would be able to ride in a big car.
Large cars are good, but they are all imported. Can we produce small cars in China during this period?
Yes, Modu has started mass production and has become the main supplier of official vehicles.
But with how many cars a factory can produce, how can it possibly satisfy such a huge demand in the domestic market?
So, now that the problem of difficulty in using oil has been solved, the difficulty of building cars has been put on the agenda again.
Li Xuewu drove the car and followed the traffic, but his eyes were looking at the vehicles on the left and right, thinking about the car in his mind.
If you ask him to mine and extract oil, he can't do it. But a steel rolling mill doesn't have any industrial equipment. Is it difficult to build a car?
Every time Xia Zhongquan was asked about it, he said it was almost done and was being overcome. However, more than three months had passed and the engine problem still had not been solved.
Unless the engine problem is solved, there will be no need to proceed with other projects in the automotive industry.
At this time, there were no conditions for parts assembly. When a car manufacturer produced a car, even the screws had to be made by themselves.
Why?
At this time, we don’t pay attention to matching and integration, but we pay attention to self-reliance.
I am a car maker, how can I still embarrass you, a screw maker?
Therefore, the cost of building a car at this time was extremely high. All parts needed to be manufactured as a project, and one batch was made for another batch. This was a problem that later generations discovered, and supplementary parts sometimes could not be used.
The reason why they are all from the same batch is because after changing a few projects with a machine, when they come back to build the first one, even if they are adjusted according to the data, the things they can create are still different.
The parts in the engine are different from the bicycle mud cover. You can press it on with just two clicks of pliers. This is even a tenth of a hair away.
Therefore, when choosing the first project to build a car, Li Xuewu decided for Xia Zhongquan to imitate Willys.
Although the engine is still being conquered, other projects are already being prepared.
As long as the engine is not smoking, other items will have to wait.
Li Xuewu owns a Willys, how can he still know how to design a car?
No one understands design better than Li Xuewu, and no one understands Li Xuewu’s design better than Xia Zhongquan.
Every time Xia Zhongquan saw the "great design" handed to him by Li Xuewu, he wanted to kill him head-on.
The idea is extremely strange, the selling point is extremely prominent, the painting is extremely abstract, and it is extremely difficult to understand.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The main focus is a spiritual understanding, guess the intention by looking at the pictures, Xia Zhongquan is most afraid of Li Xuewu's designs.
He once said that factory director Yang Fengshan made the wisest decision for Li Xuewu to go to the security department. He was also extremely lucky that Li Xuewu did not come to the design department to work as a technician just because he graduated from high school.
Such a "genius" in design is only suitable for leadership. If he were a technician, he would have killed him long ago.
The design manuscript Li Xuewu gave to Xia Zhongquan was the Jimny, the classic off-road model of the Little Devil, which he carefully "researched and designed" and copied without sleep or food.
Of course, we can't say it's plagiarism. After all, the Jimny also copied Willis, let alone the second brother.
Li Xuewu only borrowed style and intention, but actually improved it based on Willis as a whole.
The serious Willis does not have a roof, it only has a soft top, canvas, which is very pleasant to drive in winter.
Some Willis don't even have a canvas top, they just use their heads to bear the wind, which is quite steely.
What Li Xuewu asked Xia Zhongquan to do was to add a roof to Willis, so that it would at least keep warm in winter.
The appearance can no longer be so thick-framed, it needs to be more delicate, and the front cover can be opened from the front instead of from the waist.
Except for the overall structure of the car body, which needs to be made of steel, thin steel will be used if thin steel can be used, and wood will be used if wood can be used, so as to reduce weight to the greatest extent.
Willys was designed for war needs. It was used to ram tanks and carry artillery. Normal transportation did not require a body with such strength.
Not to mention, car crashes are not new in this era, but the damage to the car body is rarely serious, and most are caused by the driver.
The main reason is that the car body uses too much steel. There are also all-steel car bodies. The weight of the car easily exceeds four or five tons. How can it be seen in future generations?
The Willys engine itself has 60 horsepower. If the body weight is reduced, it will run easier and faster.
The original designed maximum speed is 105 kilometers per hour. With this change, it can easily reach 120 kilometers per hour.
Li Xuewu's routine for Xia Zhongquan is a pickup truck, a passenger van, an official jeep, and a special vehicle.
An official jeep must be what Li Xuewu requires, with a comfortable interior, beautiful exterior, sufficient power, and complete functions.
Since heating and radio can be realized on the command vehicle, then it will not be a problem to realize heating and radio on the official jeep~
Li Xuewu's Willis is an M38A1 that was seized by his father-in-law on the Peninsula. The car already has a 24V electrical system, so it is not impossible to realize more functions.
This thing is all about design, and Li Xuewu knows design best.
Seat belts are not expensive and can be used as a promotional selling point.
Leather seats are difficult to handle, but knitted seats are easy to handle. Let the joint enterprises produce them.
Ventilation and heating functions are not difficult, but it still depends on the design.
The function of a radio is not to install the radio into the car. This is not difficult to do, as long as the car has a battery installed.
Thinking about it this way, Li Xuewu looked at the vehicles on the street. As long as he relies on the Willys engine and its chassis to carry out infinite development and magical modifications, and develops according to his design ideas, the cars made by the steel rolling mill will definitely be able to run on the road.
of these cars.
There are just a few vehicles used in cities and rural areas. The small cargo pickup truck can bear a load of 1.67 tons, which is enough to fill the freight demand of large trucks and below.
The key is that small pickups are fuel-efficient. Willys has 60 horsepower and only consumes 10 hp.
The CA10 Jiefang Automobile produced in Chuncheng has a fuel consumption of more than 29, but the power is only 30 hp higher than that of Willys. It is clear at a glance which one is more and which is less.
Many units actually don't have access to large trucks. They also want to buy smaller ones, but they don't have them.
Nowadays, all domestic products are produced in large quantities to meet the needs of domestic industrial development.
Hongyan Automobile Factory in Sichuan Province started mass-producing Hongyan trucks this year. The truck is more ruthless and can tow 60 tons. It is specially produced for pulling mischief. Ordinary units cannot use it.
The smallest domestic heavy-duty truck that can be found on the market now is the CA10 Jiefang Truck, which has a load capacity of 5 tons. The price is high and there is no market for it.
The only ones left are the three-bouncers and little frogs that Li Xuewu sees now. They are all old engines or modified horizontal-bar engines, and they are just small horses pulling big carts.
Since large automobile manufacturers are rushing to serve industry and production, then the trucks produced by the steel rolling mill are rushing to serve the people and serve life!
Including the passenger van derived from a small pickup truck, the load capacity is 1.67 tons. Given the current situation where fat people are a rare sight, it is not a problem to carry three or forty people inside.
This car is comparable to the Wuling, a legendary car of later generations. It once pulled more than 40 migrant workers, and the traffic police were shocked when they were caught.
Vans must be built. Just as people need ultra-light trucks, various units also need passenger buses.
How do we get out of the unit’s collective mission now?
They are usually big trucks with a shed on the back. They are like this in winter and summer, and they drive by with a rumble.
It is not that there are no vans on the road. A batch of ZSD Nysa 501M vans were introduced to Poland more than ten years ago, but very few were introduced. This may have something to do with foreign exchange and price.
Now that pickup trucks have been built, passenger vans must also be built.
Ordinary models are designed with 2-3-3-3 seats, which can accommodate eleven people if squeezed together.
The high-end model is designed with 2-2-3 seats, which is comfortable and can seat seven people.
Li Xuewu thought clearly about the positioning of the three models. If the steel rolling mill wanted to build cars at this time, it could only build models that serious automobile factories did not build, or that they had not expected to build.
Otherwise, the steel rolling mill that started from scratch will starve to death before it is built.
Currently, vans are not manufactured, pickup trucks are not manufactured, and jeeps are manufactured, but cars from steel mills can compete with each other in terms of price and configuration.
The key is that there are also special vehicles. He needs to work hard on patrol vehicles and fire trucks.
As the command vehicle traveled all the way, Li Xuewu was constantly thinking in his mind.
Building cars is not to satisfy his sense of achievement. He has no persistent ideals for the automobile industry, let alone a complex about cars. He does it purely for people and money.
Let's put it this way, he set up the joint enterprise, and he didn't just start this project just to make some tools and work clothes.
Although the project is not in his hands, as long as it rises, it will be the same. Li Xuewu can still infiltrate it if he wants to control it.
The steel rolling mill is awesome! Nie Chenglin is awesome! He also stole the house~
Li Xuewu is good at playing with a hoe. Whose corner is made of steel?!
It will take at least three years for the automobile industry in rolling mills to develop, and what will happen after three years?!
Three years later, he wants to establish himself in the steel rolling mill as a member of the Factory Committee, a senior official in the Security Department, and the Director of the Security Department. How can he do it without anyone's support?!
In these three years, the children of steel rolling mill workers will face a big crisis, which is their employment direction, life direction, and where to go.
Go ahead and go to the countryside, you will suffer.
I want to stay in the city, but there is no way~
But once the car-making industry is established, Li Xuewu himself estimates that at least 5,000 jobs will be needed.
