Chapter 603 Chang'an Factory

In the afternoon, four people came to Chang'an factory.

The Chang'an factory is located in the carp pond in Jiangbei, Bayu. The entire factory area is shaped like a hand with a thumb up.

Jiangbei was not yet developed in 91, and there were farmland and dams everywhere.

Now when we talk about Chang’an Factory, everyone will think of Chang’an Bread, Chang’an Suzuki, Ford, and CS, but you certainly don’t know the great reputation of Chang’an Factory in history.The establishment time of Chang'an factory registration information is 1862.

In the year when the Chang'an factory was built, that old lady Cixi had just come to power.

Shortly after the end of the Second Opium War, Feng Guifen, a disciple of Lin Zexu who was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Daoguang, wrote a book called "Xiaobinlu Protest", which proposed the idea of ​​learning from barbarians to control barbarians. In 1861, Yixin, Prince Gong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, together with Gui Liang and Wen Xiang, played the "Six Articles of Regulations for the General Planning of Barbarian Affairs", which opened the prelude to the Westernization Movement.

At that time, Cixi had just gained power and had deep conflicts with conservative officials. In order to resist and balance the throne, she fostered a group of Westernization leaders who were at odds with conservative officials. The more famous ones were Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. , Zhang Zhidong, Zuo Zongtang.

In Hubei, Zhang Zhidong built the Hanyang Iron Works and Hubei weaving layout.Many people should have heard of the name of the Hanyang Iron Works. The firearms used by the Ming Dynasty in the early days were basically made in Hanyang.Later, the Hanyang factory was taken over by the Changan factory.

Zeng Guofan built the Anqing Ordnance Factory, which was the first military factory in China.

Zuo Zongtang established the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau and the Lanzhou Weaving Bureau.Fuzhou Shipping Bureau can basically be said to be the birthplace of the modern navy, and the famous Beiyang Fleet was born here.

We mainly want to talk about Li Hongzhang.

He built the Tianjing Telegraph General Bureau, the predecessor of China Post.The Shanghai Machine Weaving Layout was built, which was the predecessor of the Shanghai Textile Factory.

He built the Kaiping Mining Bureau and the Kaiping Railway Bureau in Luan County, Hebei. The Kailuan Mining Bureau is still in production. The QHD Port was also built by the Kaiping Mining Bureau.Kaiping Railway Bureau became the originator of Chinese railway locomotive manufacturing.

He founded the Shanghai Shipping Merchants Bureau in Shanghai, which is now the China People's Shipping Corporation and China Shipping Hong Kong Island Merchants Bureau.Hong Kong Island China Merchants Group has a well-known unit: China Merchants Bank.

In addition to the above great achievements, Li Hongzhang also has a company, which is the Shanghai Ocean Artillery Bureau.Very strange, right? In 1865, when Li Hongzhang was promoted, the Shanghai Marine Artillery Bureau moved to Nanjing and changed its name to Nanjing Jinling Manufacturing Bureau. Is it somewhat impressive?What about Nanjing Jinling Arsenal?China's largest and most advanced arsenal back then, producing Browning and Maxim heavy machine guns.

In 37, Japan occupied Shanghai and bombed Nanjing. The Jinling Arsenal moved to Bayu and resumed production in 38. During the Anti-Japanese War, it provided more than 3000 tons of ammunition, more than 30 hand grenades, and more than 50 firearms of various types. , was the largest ordnance enterprise during the Anti-Japanese War.

In 51, the No.20 No. 57 Arsenal was renamed the State-owned No. [-] Factory, and in [-], it was renamed Chang'an Machinery Manufacturing Factory.

This is the history of Chang'an factory.

In 58, the Chang'an factory successfully manufactured the 46-type jeep, which was the first self-produced jeep in China and participated in the 59 National Day military parade.

Type 46 Jeep, never heard of it? In 63, the Chang'an factory was ordered to stop producing Jeeps, and handed over all the technical data to the Jingcheng Automobile Factory. It was the most produced, widest-covered, and longest-used green-leather soft-top Jingcheng Jeep in the history of New China.It can be said that without this order, the Jingcheng Automobile Factory would have disappeared long ago, and there would be no Cherokee 212 later.

There is really no flat place in Bayu. I feel that there are slopes everywhere, either uphill or downhill.

When the four of Xiaowei arrived outside the gate of the Chang'an factory, the rain had stopped, the sky was still overcast, and the cool breeze brought some dampness to his face.This side is relatively open, and I feel that the wind is much stronger than that of Jiefangbei.

Register at the gate guard, enter the factory and come to the sales department.

The Chang'an factory is now much larger than the Xiali factory, and it feels more formal than the Xiali factory in all aspects.However, the factory building and factory area and Xialibi seem much dilapidated, and they must have been there for a long time.At the moment, it is not popular in domestic state-owned enterprises to spend money to make their factories bigger and bigger.

The person who received several people was a section chief of the sales office, surnamed Yang, who was wearing blue overalls with dirty marks on his face, and had just come out of the workshop.

"Hello. What's your business?" Section Chief Yang should be from the north, and he doesn't have a local accent.

Xiaowei said: "We came from the Northeast, Fengtian, Liaodong. We set up an industrial and trading company to sell cars. We happened to pass by Bayu and came to have a look. There are quite a lot of Changan cars in our area. I want to ask us. Can it be sold?"

Section Chief Yang asked: "Which unit are you from?"

Xiaowei said: "Personal. We are the first private group company in Liaodong."

Section Chief Yang froze for a moment.At this time in 91, people in most inland areas generally felt that the impression of the private sector was that self-employed, rogues, second-rate dealers, speculators, etc., would rather hold the broken bowl of the state-owned than the gold bricks of the self-employed. If you have no future and no money, then you will scold the children because you will have to become self-employed if you don't study hard.

It may be due to the reserved habits of the Chinese people. Section Chief Yang said: "I don't know if you have been in contact with cars before. One of our cars costs [-] to [-] yuan. If you don't pay on credit, you have to mention dozens of cars at a time. Understand? Besides, we have sales in the Northeast, don’t you know that the material company sells cars? You go back to your local material company and ask, there should be a market dedicated to selling cars, go there and see.”

Xiaowei said: "I know. I don't want to be the exclusive agent. They sell theirs and I sell mine. Wouldn't it be good for you to sell more cars?"

Section Chief Yang frowned, looked at his watch and said, "I'm a bit busy right now, so I won't talk with you. Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang, come, stay with these guests for a while, and explain to them. I have something to do over there." He waved his hand and called a girl over, and he got up and left.This girl looked like she had just started working.

Xiao Huang came over, smiled at the four of them a little stiffly, sat down and said, "Hi, what's the matter?"

Xiaowei sat up straight, licked his lips, and said, "We want to sell your car. It seems that Section Chief Yang is not very happy."

Xiao Huang said: "Buy a car? You can buy it if you want. The price is the same."

Xiaowei said: "Selling, not buying."

A tall, thin, gray-haired man walked in, and Xiao Huang stood up and called out, "Hello, Director."

Director Jing nodded and said, "Where's Xiao Yang? Didn't you just say you came to this room?"

Xiao Huang said: "I don't know, Section Chief Yang said that he has something to do to let me accompany these guests."

Director Jing glanced at Xiao Huang strangely, then turned to look at Xiao Wei and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xiaowei said: "Hello, Chief Jing. I'm from Fengtian, and I want to sell your car in the Northeast. Section Chief Yang didn't seem very happy, so he left without saying a few words, and let this girl stay with us."

Director Jing was stunned for a moment and said, "Selling a car? Want to sell our car?"
