Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 117 Departure to Chongqing

After delivering the 40-meter S-40-01 fresh fish collecting ship to Wang Huawei, Wang Jiankun rushed to Wuyuan County without stopping because the college entrance examination was about to begin.

The college entrance examination will be held on July 7, 7 and 8, and Wang Jiankun plans to have his seven major disciples and non-staff member Wu Xiaoyi take mock exams on the 9, 7 and 8th.

The test paper is of course the college entrance examination paper. Originally, Wang Jiankun wanted to take the test simultaneously. He has super powers and he can project the college entrance examination paper before the test starts.

However, considering the confidentiality issue, it was decided to postpone the exam to the next day so that there would be no risk of leaks. After all, the candidates more or less remembered the questions for the subjects they had already taken, so it would not be too conspicuous if Wang Jiankun took out the complete test paper.

He returned to Wuyuan County on the morning of July 7th, and talked about the results of the final exams with Fang Guihua and five other people who lived there at the waste recycling station.

On the third day after the exam, the school counted the final exam results. Some students who lived far away from home stayed in the school and waited for the results to come out before going back, while those who lived nearby went to the school to get their transcripts when the results came out.

In this final exam, all seven disciples performed very well, and Wang Jiankun was of course still ranked first, with only 7 points deducted from the total score.

Yu Min ranked second in the grade with 45 points deducted from the total score, Lang Junjian ranked third with 48 points deducted from the total score, Fang Guihua ranked fifth, Yu Zirun ranked seventh, Hu Chunming ranked eighth, and Cheng Ming ranked tenth.

Zheng Qian, a sophomore, was still the top scorer in her grade. She lost 42 points in the total score, mainly in English and mathematics, with 16 points lost in English and 12 points lost in mathematics.

Then the non-staff member Wu Xiaoyi was ranked 16th, which was a lot of improvement from his previous position of around 30th. After all, the higher the score, the harder it is to improve, after all, everyone is studying hard.

After talking about their grades, Wang Jiankun asked them to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, try to reduce the time spent doing experiments or programming during the day, adjust their work and rest schedule, and adapt to the mock exam the day after tomorrow.

He planned to go home because he hadn't been home for a long time, and he would leave for Chongqing in a few days and didn't know when he would be back, so he rode his motorcycle home.

When passing by Fengshan Commune, he visited the spring factory and Master Cha's clock workshop.

At present, Wang Jiankun is still supplying glass and springs for table clocks. This is because a lot of silicon will be produced when rare earths are refined. If it is not made into glass, the waste will have to be dumped, which will be very troublesome.

As for the supply of springs, Wang Jiankun planned to have the spring factory in Fengshan Commune manufacture them after the more than 5 springs he had in stock were used up.

The production process of this flat strip spring is simpler, and the factory's existing smelting furnace can be used. After all, the current smelting furnace equipment utilization rate is not high, and the materials used to refine clock springs will not squeeze out the production capacity of lighter springs.

Wang Jiankun has already manufactured the calendering equipment, and after a while he can ask his father to transport the equipment to Fengshan Commune.

The annealing furnace can also be used for lighter springs, but the annealing program needs to be changed.

Wang Jiankun learned from her mother that the current production capacity of the table clock factory is about 1.5 units per month. She reconciles accounts with Master Cha every month, so she has a clear understanding of the production capacity of table clocks.

In the clock workshop, Wang Jiankun saw Cha Xiaoming arranging the production of wax models. After chatting with him for a while, he learned that Cha Xiaoming was now a capable man under Master Cha, mainly responsible for the production of wax models and the maintenance of iron models. His salary had also increased to 90 yuan per month.

He was very satisfied with his current job. After all, it was easier than pulling the bellows and helping with ironwork every day before. Moreover, his salary was 90 yuan a month, which was a very good treatment in the commune except for those in Wangjia Production Team.

Seeing that he was working very hard here, Wang Jiankun gave up the idea of ​​poaching him. Before leaving, he still reminded him to read more books and told him that he could write letters or send telegrams to him, as he could receive letters and telegrams at his address in the school.

He said that he had never forgotten to study and had found a lot of high school books to read. He was planning to take the adult college entrance examination next year to see if he could pass.

Wang Jiankun was very happy to hear that he was still studying hard, for he was afraid that he would stop working hard because of his current high salary.

In the spring factory of Fengshan Commune, Wang Jiankun talked to the factory director Zha Jianliang about his plan to have them produce springs for table clocks.

Director Cha was of course very happy about the new products. Having new products meant that the factory could be expanded and more people could be recruited to work, which meant that the commune could get more profits.

The spring factory has now entered a stable period, the quality of its products is very stable, so the output value is considerable.

At present, the equipment payment has been fully offset, and there is still a surplus of 15 yuan. In the future, we will be able to earn a net profit of about 12 yuan every month.

Thanks to this spring factory, the commune not only made up for all the previously overdue wages and benefits for cadres, but also had spare capacity for the commune's infrastructure construction.

The current plan is to repair the road from Tsinghua to Lingjiao, and at the same time provide electricity to Lingjiao, so that production teams on both sides of the highway can have access to electricity.

The Wangjia Production Team plans to donate 10 yuan for road construction, because a wider and smoother road will be most beneficial to the Wangjia Production Team.

Now there are several cars in the team running on the road every day. The roads are easier to drive on and fuel consumption will be reduced a lot.

After chatting with Director Cha for a while and finalizing the delivery of the equipment at the end of August, he set off for the Wangjia Production Team.

There are many people weeding in the rice fields on both sides of the road. The early rice has grown almost to waist height and should be heading in a few days, so they have to weed for the last time before heading so that the rice can absorb more nutrients.

When passing by the rice fields of Wangjia Production Team, Wang Jiankun found that the rice grew much better than that of other production teams. Then he remembered that his father had told him that the team had planted hybrid rice this year.

My father even went to Hunan to find the leaders of the Agricultural Technical School and asked them to guide the planting, so the rice grew unusually well.

When I got home, I found that my sister was the only one at home doing homework. When she saw Wang Jiankun coming back, she dropped her pen and jumped to hug Wang Jiankun.

"Brother, why haven't you come back for so long? I heard from others that you have a holiday every month, and doesn't the school start summer vacation on July 7st?"

"Come down quickly~, I have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time even on holiday!"

"Aren't you studying? Why do you have so much to do? Are you going to play in the county town during the holidays? You don't even take me with you."

"Didn't you receive the presents I asked my parents to bring back? I didn't mean to play. If something really happened, you'd know when you grow up. Where are your grandparents and your parents? Why are you home alone?"

"Grandpa should be in the team's office. Grandma and Mom are at the lighter factory. Dad is driving out. I'm going to the cafeteria after I finish my homework. You should come with us."

"Why is grandma going to the lighter factory? Isn't she going home to cook?" "Since last month, we rarely cook at home. Except when the factory is on holiday, we eat at the factory cafeteria because grandma also works in the factory cafeteria."

"Is that so? Then when you finish writing, I'll go wash up and then go with you."

It turned out that after the second phase of the lighter factory started production, my mother became even busier and had no time to take care of the family.

And because my grandfather has to coordinate a lot of things, he is often not at home.

My father also had to go to the commune to punch in for work or drive out, so the family was too busy to have time to go home.

My grandmother often cooked at home but had no one to eat. After a few times, she offered to go to the factory canteen to help out so that she wouldn’t have to cook alone.

Currently, one-third of the team members do not cook at home on weekdays, because most of the family members go to work in the lighter factory or do supporting work for the factory, so they all go to the factory canteen to eat. It is free for formal employees, and family members pay for each meal according to the amount they eat.

In the factory cafeteria, Wang Jiankun saw his grandmother and a group of elderly people of similar age picking and cutting vegetables. They were in good spirits, which made Wang Jiankun feel relieved.

In fact, as Wang Jiankun walked along the road in the team, he found it rather deserted. It turned out that most people had come to the factory.

I talked to my mother about the factory and learned that the team had taken the reality into consideration and arranged some easy work for older people, and of course they would provide them with a suitable salary.

The factory has now opened 7 production lines for two-shift production. The monthly production capacity of lighters is 160 million, which has basically met sales volume. If sales volume increases in the future, the remaining lines can be operated in two shifts, and the output is expected to increase to about 190 million.

Wang Jiankun evaluated the current economic development situation and felt that the current production capacity was sufficient. Except for the three northeastern provinces, the two northwestern provinces and the two southwestern provinces, there were no formal distribution of lighters. In other provinces' large and medium-sized cities, there were already relatively capable people selling lighters.

The few that have not been officially distributed are too far away from here and have inconvenient transportation. When the time is right in the future, we can build lighter factories in the north and southwest. For now, we just need to produce according to this output.

Because currently only Wang Jiankun can use his superpowers to manufacture the flint for lighters at low cost, others who want to imitate him have no competitors because they cannot handle such a key component.

And in two years, Wang Jiankun plans to manufacture a new type of lighter, for example, one that uses piezoelectric ceramics for ignition, a plastic shell, and uses butane, a waste product from refineries, as fuel instead of kerosene.

This way, costs can be further reduced and weight can be greatly reduced while still maintaining competitiveness.

At present, the lighter project is still one of the fastest earning ones. Since June, it can bring in a net profit of nearly 6 million yuan every month. Of this net profit, about 1000 million is stored in the collected gold, about 200 million is deposited in more than a dozen accounts in several major cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, and more than 600 million is used to purchase rare earths and metals such as copper, zinc, and manganese and stored.

As his mother handled such a large amount of money, she had asked Wang Jiankun more than once to find a way to hide the money. Wang Jiankun reassured her not to worry, as most of the money would be invested in a few months.

One is to buy land and build a factory in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and the other is to invest in building a motorcycle engine factory in Wuyuan County.

I don’t plan to use foreign exchange for investment this time, because the products are mainly intended to be sold domestically and I can’t earn foreign exchange.

That evening, the family had dinner in the factory cafeteria before returning home to reunite. The father also rushed back from Dexing Copper Mine.

The team’s three trucks have all been used, and they also have to ask Hu Xiyang’s truck to help with transportation from time to time.

My father would also have to go to Dexing or Raozhou every now and then, mainly to collect debts.

The goods from Dexing will be transported via the Yangtze River to Yangzhou and then distributed. Hu Yuefei and Ge Tianwei will pay for each batch of goods after receiving them. In the past month, the production capacity has doubled and the payment for the goods has also increased, so my father has to go to collect the payment frequently.

Cheng Xing has asked him to deposit 80% of the payment for the goods into a dozen accounts opened by Wang Jiankun. After the deposit, the receipt will be brought back to Raozhou as a receipt.

I hadn't seen my family for a long time, so we chatted until very late. The next day, grandma didn't go to the factory and made delicious food for Wang Jiankun because he had to go to the county town in the afternoon and would not be able to go home for a long time.

On the afternoon of July 7, Wang Jiankun left his warm home with a lot of food on his motorcycle and full of love.

Early in the morning of July 7, the seven disciples and Wu Xiaoyi were all sitting in the small classroom of the waste recycling station. Wang Jiankun looked at the time and distributed the test papers according to the time of the college entrance examination.

The questions on these papers are exactly the same as those in the college entrance examination, and the layout is also the same. This mock exam can be regarded as a rehearsal for next year's college entrance examination.

During the break after the exam, Wang Jiankun also told them not to check the answers. If they were bored, they could review, do experiments, or write a program.

Just like that, three days passed in a flash and the mock college entrance examination ended.

Wang Jiankun didn't let them wait too long. He called them together again after an hour and announced the results one by one.

Zheng Qian and Yu Zirun both took the liberal arts exam, with total scores of 592 and 560 respectively, for a total score of 640.

The total score for the science exam was also 640, with Yu Min scoring 598, Lang Junjian 596, Fang Guihua 586, Hu Chunming 546, Cheng Ming 536, and Wu Xiaoyi 512.

According to the admission situation in previous years, they can all go to key universities. However, if they want to go to key universities in BJ, especially Peking University and Tsinghua University, only Zheng Qian, Yu Min and Lang Junjian can be admitted. Fang Guihua's grades are a bit uncertain, and even if he is admitted, he will not be able to choose a good major.

However, Wang Jiankun told the others not to be discouraged, as they were already much ahead of others and there was still one year left. This kind of mock college entrance examination would be conducted many times in the future to continuously improve their on-the-spot test-taking ability.

Wu Xiaoyi was quite excited, because his original goal was just to get into a general key political and legal university such as East China University of Political Science and Law. Now, he had studied with Wang Jiankun for two months, and his mock exam scores were good enough. So, if he studied for another year, it was not impossible for him to try his luck at Renmin University of China.

After the mock exam, Wang Jiankun asked them to go home the next day and the day after tomorrow, and come back to the recycling station on August 8st to see if they want to go to BJ for study, to see the capital and its famous schools. Those who don't want to go can stay in the recycling station to do experiments, programming, and other things.

Wu Xiaoyi immediately expressed his willingness to go and suggested that he buy the train tickets for them because he could buy a sleeper berth. Wang Jiankun told him that he didn't need to buy train tickets because he planned to take them by boat through the Yangtze River and then into the Grand Canal to Beitongzhou, and then go to BJ by land.

After hearing Wang Jiankun's arrangement, the other people all expressed their desire to go to BJ together. After all, they didn't have to worry about travel expenses, and there would be no danger if they went together as a group.

After agreeing to set off on August 8, Wang Jiankun set out from the county seat with several motorcycle engines he had manufactured and the corresponding technical data. He picked up Chen Xingdong, who had been waiting for a day, in Hukou Town and drove Experiment No. 1 to Chongqing.
