Chapter 265 Visiting the factory
"Do you know much about the equipment and technology of the automobile production line?" After a while, Ruiyang asked Duan Yun seriously.

For Duan Yun's translation level, Ruiyang has no doubts, but in terms of automobile mechanical technology, especially Duan Yun has not been engaged in technical work related to automobiles before, so Ruiyang is still not sure whether he is knowledgeable.

As the head of the Light Industry Bureau, Ruiyang must be cautious when making any decision. He cannot just listen to some people's self-recommendations. He always needs to conduct investigations first. To build trust, he must Time.

In fact, the ones who went abroad with Ruiyang this time, besides the interpreter Duan Yun, were the chief engineer of the No. [-] Daxing Automobile Factory, and two staff members from the General Administration, a total of five people.

For technical matters, the chief engineer of the first factory is the main one, and Ruiyang is the final one. During the negotiation process, the details are jointly studied by Ruiyang and the chief engineer, and Duan Yun is only responsible for oral communication.

"Many things in terms of mechanical technology have been figured out. Through translating drawings in the past two days, I have also learned a lot about the principles and technologies of automobile production lines." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "If Director Rui you If you are willing to give me a chance to go to the first factory to see their production line, I think I can write a complete report on the introduction of equipment..."

"We don't have much time left. If we temporarily change the purchase plan, it may be too late..." Ruiyang said with a frown.

"One day! You only need to give me one day. Tomorrow morning is enough time for me to see the production line of the first factory. On Thursday morning, I can send over the plan!" Seeing Ruiyang hesitate, Duan Yun said quickly: "As long as you can help me say hello to the first factory, I will leave the other things to me..."

"It seems that you are very interested in technical matters..." Rui Yang looked directly at Duan Yun and said with a smile.

"Actually, being a technician is my job. English can only be regarded as a hobby, so I have an instinctive enthusiasm for anything related to mechanical technology." Duan Yun's gaze also met Ruiyang's.

"Okay then, you go directly to Daxing Automobile No. [-] Factory tomorrow, and I will notify them to receive you!" After a while, Ruiyang said to Duan Yun.

"Thank you Director Rui!"

"What I want to see is a truly feasible report, not some empty technical analysis, do you understand?" Ruiyang tapped his finger on the table and said.

"understand!"

"Okay, you can go back first." Ruiyang said.

"Then I'm leaving!" Duan Yun saw that his goal had been achieved, so he got up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" When Duan Yun walked to the door, Rui Yang suddenly stopped him.

"Director Rui..."

"I just want to tell you that I will read your report seriously." Ruiyang said with a smile.

"I won't let you down." Duan Yunwen smiled, turned and left the office...

……

Early the next morning, Duan Yun rode a motorcycle to the No. [-] Daxing Automobile Factory.

Daxing Automobile No. [-] Factory is a bit far from the city center, and Duan Yun rode for more than an hour to get here.

When he arrived at the reception room at the entrance, Duan Yun took out his work ID and showed it to the old gatekeeper, who immediately picked up the phone and dialed an internal number.

Ten minutes later, a tall middle-aged man in neat work clothes came over.

"You are Comrade Duan Yun, right? I am Wang Wei, the chief engineer of the factory." The chief engineer who called himself Wang Wei glanced at Duan Yun, then smiled and held out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!" Duan Yun greeted Wang Wei with a smile and held Wang Wei's hands together.

Duan Yun could tell that Ruiyang must have greeted him in advance and asked the factory to welcome him well, but Duan Yun didn't expect that this time the chief engineer of the factory would greet him in person.

But this is also easy to understand. After all, Mr. Wang will go abroad together this time. It is also a good thing for the two to get to know each other in advance.

Ruiyang obviously also learned about Duan Yun's work as an interpreter going abroad this time, so he was also very enthusiastic about Duan Yun, and led him to start turning around in the factory.

The No. [-] Daxing Automobile Factory is obviously much larger than the Red Star Gear Factory. Under Wang Wei's leadership, Duan Yun entered the main factory building.

After just watching the workshop for a while, Duan Yun understood why Ruiyang rushed to introduce equipment to the first automobile factory this time. The reason is very simple, that is, the equipment here is too old and backward, and the technical force is too weak.

The equipment of the first factory looks very old and heavy. Duan Yun carefully read the inscription. Many of the machines were basically built with the aid of the Soviet Union. There are not many new equipment purchased in these years, and they are basically used for supporting purposes. The key equipment still depends on the old equipment of the Soviet Union.

In addition, what surprised Duan Yun was that some of the car shells produced here were actually hammered out by workers with special hammers. There are many workers, but the efficiency is surprisingly low. From Wang Wei's introduction, we know that the main models in the factory The annual output is only more than 200 units, and this output is not even as good as the daily output of automobile factories in Europe, America and Japan during the same period!As for the quality, it is several grades worse, and it is not a product of the same era at all!

Even so, Wang Wei, the chief engineer, was very proud to introduce to Duan Yun the recent technological innovations currently adopted by his factory to improve processing efficiency. However, in Duan Yun's view, these technological innovations actually improved work efficiency. Basically not worth mentioning, that is, to save a little manpower.

After wandering around several workshops, Duan Yun had a clear understanding of the equipment technology of this factory.

Declining Mr. Wang's invitation to stay with Duan Yun for dinner at the guest house at noon, Duan Yun rode his motorcycle back home.

After returning home, Duan Yun made a simple form of the various parameters of the equipment recorded in the first factory, and then wrote the parameters of the same type of equipment in West Germany on the drawing in the other column of the form, making an intuitive contrast.

As technicians, they will consider some specific and detailed parameters for any imported equipment, but for superior leaders, they cannot understand these technical data, and what they care most about is how many times the output can be increased and how many times more it can bring. Profit these simple and intuitive things.

Therefore, when Duan Yun wrote the equipment introduction report, at the beginning of the report, he directly informed the multiple of the efficiency improvement of the imported equipment compared with the existing equipment. List the cost-effectiveness of the introduction of various equipment, and the possibility of substitution of domestic products.

In addition, in order to show the technicality of this report, Duan Yun also made a more detailed appendix. This appendix is ​​very professional. It is estimated that Ruiyang may not understand it, but it can make this report look very professional. , not randomly compiled by Duan Yun...
