Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 572
"... Later, after the German company shipped the production line equipment to Daxing, it also sent a German engineer named Bain, who was responsible for the technical guidance of the production line installation..." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "So the director From time to time, I was sent to be the liaison person in the automobile factory, who was responsible for interpreting for this German engineer named Bain. During the production and installation period, Director Rui came to the automobile factory at least three or four times a week, and gave a lot of guidance on the spot. Work……"

"You mean to be an interpreter for a German engineer, can he understand you when you speak English?" Yang Bo asked with great interest.

"West Germany is under the control of the Americans, and their English is a compulsory language, and they speak fluently than the Americans." Duan Yun explained.

"It's interesting, you continue to talk." Yang Bo smiled and motioned Duan Yun to continue.

"During my time as the Chinese contact person, I established a very good personal friendship with this German engineer named Bain. He is an automotive expert with profound technical attainments. During the communication with him, I I learned a lot about the current development of the German auto industry and technical knowledge, especially in terms of automotive gearboxes. This German engineer told me a lot about the process technology in this area, which benefited me a lot... " Duan Yun said.

"That means that your development of automobile gearbox products this time is actually the technology taught to you by this German engineer?" Yang Bo asked with his eyes brightened when he heard this.

Yang Bo is well aware of the gap between the current technical level of the domestic auto industry and the developed countries in Europe and America.

And if Duan Yun can really learn some advanced technology from this German engineer, it will naturally be of great benefit to the development of domestic automobiles.

"Yes, I have learned a lot of advanced technology from that German engineer, especially in automotive gearboxes, but their country's equipment is advanced and the process is more complicated. Although I can understand some core technical principles, but Given the current domestic conditions, it is impossible to produce similar products comparable to developed countries in Europe and America." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "Previously Director Rui provided our labor service company with a lot of funds. And equipment, and also built a new factory building for our factory. It is precisely because of this condition that I have improved the technology I learned from German engineers to meet the current technical equipment conditions, and made this Longteng shift. box product..."

Of course, Duan Yun would not say that the design of the Longteng gearbox this time was based on the mature product experience he had learned in his previous life. He knew that the current Chinese people highly respect the developed technologies of Europe, America, Japan and other countries, so he decided to use the Longteng gearbox this time. The gearbox is labeled "German technology".

"So that's how it is..." Sure enough, when Yang Bo heard what Duan Yun said, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he continued: "No wonder the experts from the National Quality Review Committee said that the products of your factory have reached the The advanced level of similar products in the world is the technology learned from German engineers."

"In fact, the technology of our factory's automobile gearbox has begun to lag behind internationally. Compared with similar manual gearboxes in the world, the quality of our factory's products should be said to be good, but it has begun to be widely used internationally. Automatic transmissions, especially in mid-to-high-end cars, developed countries in Europe and the United States have basically begun to develop and popularize automatic transmissions. In terms of technology, there is still a big gap between our country and them, and there is still a long way to go in the future. " Duan Yun said with a slight frown.

"You're right, our country is indeed developing slowly in the automobile industry and lagging behind in technology." Yang Bo nodded after hearing this, and asked Duan Yun after thinking about it: "Then if your factory wins the award this time, there will be more in the future." Any long-term plans, I want to hear your thoughts."

"This is Minister Yang. At present, my idea is to mass-produce our award-winning gearbox products, and try to occupy a relatively large share in the domestic market. The other is to use this new product of our factory to open up export channels. , sell Longteng gearboxes to the world, win glory for the country, and earn foreign exchange for the country!" Duan Yun said seriously.

Duan Yun proposed from the very beginning that new products will go through the route of exporting foreign exchange in the future. The main reason is that he understands the importance of foreign exchange to the country at the beginning of the reform and opening up.

Generally speaking, the main task of the Ministry of Light Industry is to solve the domestic livelihood and consumer needs, but earning foreign exchange through export is also one of their important responsibilities.

In addition, enterprises that can export and earn foreign exchange in this year will receive special attention in the ministry. No matter in tax policy or other aspects, they will be given special preferential treatment.

Moreover, in this era, the country needs to cultivate the national pride of its citizens. It is just that the best-selling products in the country are obviously inferior to the products that can be exported to earn foreign exchange. In the eyes of some senior domestic leaders, the meanings of these two products are even more different. , "Made in China" and "Domestic products should be self-improving" have always been the labels and slogans supported by the state for many years in the future.

If Duan Yun's products can only meet the needs of the domestic market, it will be no different from other award-winning products in the Ministry, and will not be particularly favored by the superiors. When Duan Yun positions his products as export products, he will undoubtedly Significantly improve the grade of new products and the importance of superior leaders.

"Export to earn foreign exchange!?" Sure enough, when Yang Bo heard Duan Yun's idea of ​​exporting his factory's products, his expression lifted, and he asked Duan Yun seriously: "You also said just now that the products produced by your factory are This kind of automobile manual transmission is already a product that is about to be eliminated internationally, so will anyone buy it when it is exported abroad?"

"Minister Yang, I did say just now that foreign countries have begun to popularize automatic car transmissions with higher technical content, but according to what I learned from the German Bain engineer before, the cars equipped with automatic transmissions are mainly mid-to-high-end cars. However, for some low-priced and middle-end car models, manual transmissions are still widely used due to their mature technology, simple structure and low price. With the current strength of our country's automobile industry, it is impossible to compete with European and American countries. In the high-end car market, but in the middle and low-end car market, I feel that I can still get a share." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "If the Longteng car gearbox produced by our factory can be mass-produced in the future If it is globalized, it is not difficult to earn foreign exchange through export with excellent quality and low price!".
