Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Chapter 87 FAW

Qin Yuanqing originally thought that he would have to spend half of the month from the tenth to the twenty-fifth of the first lunar month in the Shuimu University library.

As a result, on the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Qin Yuanqing was interrupted by a phone call. The top leader of the Ministry of Industry personally called Qin Yuanqing and invited Qin Yuanqing to join the engine expert team and go to FAW to conduct engine verification work.

Finally, the prototype has been made! Qin Yuanqing exhaled after hearing the news. Unexpectedly, it took him one month to produce the engine prototype after he submitted the three engine technologies.

Sometimes Qin Yuanqing has to complain that the work efficiency is so low!

In fact, if FAW hears Qin Yuanqing’s complaints, they will definitely scream injustice. For a brand-new engine manufacturing technology, engineers must first understand the technology thoroughly, and then master it one by one, and then start polishing it. Three models were produced in more than a month. The prototype is already very good.

Qin Yuanqing agreed! In the afternoon, I took a plane with several expert team members from Beijing to Xinjing, the seat of the FAW Group in Northeast China!

When he arrived in Xinjing, Qin Yuanqing felt quite uneasy. The Northeast, which was once the location of China's heavy industry and the essence of industry, has now been in a state of decline. It is far inferior to the eastern coastal areas. The entire city seems to have lost its vitality, like a pool of stagnant water.

The Northeast was visited once by Qin Yuanqing in the previous life. It was because he met a netizen and went to the Northeast in the winter. As a result, he almost froze to death wearing a thin down jacket. He wanted to imitate the cool skiing shown on TV, but ended up skiing from From the very beginning, he fell down and kept rolling down, which is called a wolf.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing's impression of the Northeast was one of deadness and bureaucracy, because after graduating, the netizen wanted to work in a bank with a salary of 3,000 a month, but she said she spent more than 200,000 to get in.

And it is said that this is very common!

Qin Yuanqing also understood why the country handed over engine technology to FAW. Since October 2003, the central government issued Several Opinions on Implementing the Revitalization Strategy for Old Industrial Bases in Northeast China and Other Regions, which clarified the guiding ideology, principles, tasks, policies and measures for the implementation of the revitalization strategy. This opinion officially launched the national strategy of revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China.

So far, it has been 6 years. However, despite considerable success, compared with the eastern coastal areas, the economy is still unsatisfactory and the social vitality is still far inferior. This has resulted in a net outflow of manpower from the Northeast every year.

In the national strategy, Northeast China is the country's most important commodity grain production base, important forestry base, energy raw material base, machinery industry and pharmaceutical industry base status and function!

FAW is an extremely important industrial component in Northeast China. It is said that automobile manufacturing is the crown jewel of modern industry, involving all industrial types known to mankind and a large collection of all industrial sectors. Cars are also industrial products with high added value, and the profit of a car is extremely astonishing. The world's top ten automakers, such as Volkswagen and Toyota, sell millions of cars a year, make tens of billions of dollars in profits, and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Moreover, FAW has a special status in China's industry. It is the eldest son of China Automobile!

In 1956, with the technical assistance of the Soviet Union, the first Jiefang truck was launched. In 1958, due to the unremitting efforts of FAW workers, the first Hongqi luxury sedan was born. In 1966, under the arrangement of the state, FAW was responsible for assisting the construction of Second Automobile Works and gave a large number of key personnel to Second Automobile Works. Even in the 1980s, when SAIC entered into a joint venture with Volkswagen of Germany, SAIC poached many people from FAW. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that FAW is the cradle of China's automobile industry.

When the plane arrived at Xinjing Airport, Qin Yuanqing felt the unique atmosphere of Xinjing. This is a city that relied on one-car services.

And this is also typical of Northeast China!

Cities in the Northeast are typical factory-run societies. A factory director is almost equivalent to a mayor. The city is as wide as the factory.

FAW was aided by the Soviet Union, so the entire factory building is in Soviet style, solemn and grand. Wherever he looked, Qin Yuanqing saw a large number of brand-new modern factories under construction, with the eye-catching Volkswagen logo printed on them. They should be FAW-Volkswagen's joint venture factory.

Qin Yuanqing was quite emotional. Whether it is FAW or SAIC, independent brands actually do not make much money. What makes money is joint venture cars. However, in this way, they are almost trapped in the foundries of foreign brands. They can only make some hard-earned money, but they lose it. achieved the status of independent development.

It can be said that the automobile industry is not living up to expectations, and automobile technology lags far behind the European and American automobile industries. In order to promote the development of the automobile industry and introduce European and American technologies, we had to trade the market for technology. But after all these years, how many people still remember that the country has sacrificed so much to learn technology, and how many technologies have they mastered now?

Someone from FAW had already come to the airport to pick him up in a special car. Qin Yuanqing and several experts got in the car and looked outside through the window. Qin Yuanqing had mixed feelings in his heart.

When he arrived at the FAW Gate Square, Qin Yuanqing saw the large gilt characters Commemoration of the Foundation Laying of the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant written by ***, and Qin Yuanqing felt the great man's expectations for the Chinese automobile industry.

Qin Yuanqing asked the driver to stop for a moment and came to the bronze statue. He had checked the information before coming and knew that the owner of this bronze statue was Mr. Rao Bing, known as the father of Chinese automobiles.

At that time, *** visited the Soviet Union and visited the Soviet automobile factories to see a steady stream of trucks coming out of the workshops. The old man immediately said loudly: We in China also need to have such a car factory!

As a result, the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant was established as a project by the central government and was built in Xinjing City, Northeast China with assistance from the Soviet Union. At that time, the central government selected several candidates for the director of the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Finally, Mao Zedong personally made the decision and decided that Rao Bing, the white-faced scholar mayor, would be the director of FAW.

From scratch, the first automobile manufacturing plant was built, producing cars with the famous Liberation and Hongqi. Despite all the hardships, Rao Bing made great contributions as the director of the factory.

After that, the country carried out third-line construction in preparation for the war. In 1969, it considered establishing a second automobile manufacturing plant in Yanshi City, Northern Hubei Province. The first candidate that the central government thought of was still Rao Bing. So despite the chaotic situation in the country, he led tens of thousands of workers from all over the world to start the second entrepreneurial journey of building Second Automobile. After 16 years of hard work, the Second Automobile Manufacturing Plant stands proudly in the middle of the motherland. Because the Erqi people did not want to be the second child, after all, the second child would never be as good as the first child, so they later changed their name to Dongfeng Motor.

After the reform and opening up, Rao Bing, as one of the most knowledgeable people in China about industry, was appointed deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery. So under his design, the Chinese automobile industry began to cooperate with foreign parties, using the latest international technology to make up for the gap left by decades of isolation and backwardness. The establishment of SAIC-Volkswagen was the result of his contact and negotiations with the German side.

In the mid-1980s, he took a back seat due to his age, but he still worked hard at the forefront of developing China's automobile industry.

In July 1987, 74-year-old Rao Bing returned to FAW to attend the 30th anniversary meeting of the Liberation Truck. At the meeting, he burst into tears and said the following:

I'm old and can't join you in our third entrepreneurial venture. However, I am willing to lie on the ground and turn into a bridge for everyone to walk across on my body. We will work together to build cars and realize our goals in China. The car dream of modern car people!

A pure heart can be seen in the world. Han Hao could not help but respect such an old man, especially when Mr. Rao died of illness while on a business trip in Hujiang City more than ten days after saying these words.

He has dedicated his whole life to China's automobile industry and laid a solid foundation for the development of China's automobile industry. Therefore, everyone respects Mr. Rao Bing as the father of China's automobile industry.

It was this group of predecessors who selflessly dedicated themselves to serving the country, established the Republic, laid the industrial foundation for the Republic, and rebuilt the backbone of the Chinese people.

Qin Yuanqing has nothing but deep admiration for these old-timers. After buying a bouquet of flowers, Qin Yuanqing placed them in front of the bronze statue, then bent deeply at 90 degrees and bowed in tribute!

When the people around him saw Qin Yuanqing's actions, their eyes suddenly changed. They were no longer curious or indifferent, but had a good impression.

The great man once said that this world is ours and yours, but in the final analysis it is yours. We are all old, and the future of our motherland depends on you! A leader from the Ministry of Industry patted Qin Yuanqing's shoulder.

This time, the Ministry of Industry attached great importance to the automotive engine verification. The top leader personally led the team to preside over the verification meeting, and also mobilized dozens of the country's top scientists!

Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting. We have to stay here for ten or eight days, so we have plenty of time to visit! said the leader.

I got in the car again and came to a building. There were many people standing in front of the building.

Boss, welcome to FAW for inspection! A middle-aged man stepped forward and shook hands with the top leader of the Ministry of Industry.

Mr. Xu, are the experts here? the leader asked after shaking hands.

Boss, we're all here! The middle-aged man said with a smile, I'm just waiting for you to lead!

These are experts in Beijing! The leader introduced several experts one by one, and then introduced Qin Yuanqing and said: This one is Professor Qin Yuanqing, professor of the Department of Mathematics and Department of Physics of Shuimu University. Professor Qin Yuanqing proved Zhou's conjecture and twins last year. The prime number conjecture won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award. It has not only made great achievements in the field of mathematics, but also in the field of physics. These three engines were all developed and designed by Professor Qin.

If the verification is successful, you all at FAW will have to thank Professor Qin! the leader said with a smile.

The leader knows that the top leadership attaches great importance to Qin Yuanqing.

Professor Qin, experts, welcome to FAW! Mr. Xu, Qin Yuanqing and others shook hands one by one!
