Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 225: Back home, motorcycle industry situation, uncle has something to do

Wang Jiankun accompanied his family to visit BJ's famous attractions again. Of course, they did not miss the flag-raising ceremony and took his grandparents to watch it twice.

My grandfather served in the New Fourth Army a long time ago. Whenever he heard the five-star red flag rising, he could not help but burst into tears.

In fact, every time Wang Jiankun went to the square to watch the flag-raising ceremony, he would be infected by an inexplicable emotion, and there would be a surge in his chest.

After visiting several major tourist attractions in BJ, Wang Jiankun took his family back to his hometown in Jiangxi Province by plane.

This time we took a British-made Trident passenger plane.

After boarding the plane, Wang Jiankun used his superpowers to check the situation of the plane and the passengers to ensure that there would be no danger.

Because there have been two incidents before where people who envied life abroad took passenger planes to other places.

Although the passengers and crew members in these two incidents returned safely in the end, a lot of time was wasted and everyone was killed there.

Although it is now the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and the relationship between China and the United States is not so tense at this time, the Chinese personnel were not repatriated but detained by the authorities.

Of course, because Wang Jiankun has super powers, he is not afraid of safety issues even if dangerous situations occur, but he still has to make sure that nothing happens.

When scanning the passengers, he found that in addition to some government workers, there were also quite a few business passengers, about 7 or 8 in total.

Now the pace of domestic reform and opening up continues to accelerate and deepen. In the past, it was difficult to buy air tickets without strong connections, but this year it has become much easier.

As long as you have money and a relatively formal certificate, you can buy a plane ticket.

So when Wang Jiankun was on the plane this time, he found that several businessmen were traveling on the plane.

Shortly after we sat down, the in-flight broadcast began, reminding everyone to fasten their seat belts, and then began to demonstrate some of the buttons and call operations on the seats.

After all this was done, more than 20 minutes had passed, and then the flight attendants began to check one by one to see if the passengers had done everything as required.

After the inspection was completed and we waited for about 5 minutes, the in-flight broadcast announced that the plane was about to take off.

Wang Jiankun was sitting with his sister. His sister liked to see outside, so she sat by the window.

"Brother, it's taking off. The plane is flying so fast, much faster than the motorcycle you ride."

Obviously, my sister was not airsick or afraid of heights, so when she saw the plane moving quickly on the runway during takeoff, she pulled Wang Jiankun to talk.

Wang Jiankun chatted with his sister while paying attention to his grandmother's condition.

After Wang Jiankun's minor modifications to grandma's cochlea and brain, she no longer had tinnitus problems. However, the turbulence when the plane accelerated on the ground made her a little nervous, so she still held grandpa tightly with one hand and mother with the other.

After the plane took off, the bumps were less severe, so grandma loosened her grip on my hand and was in a good mood to look outside through the window.

He felt relieved when he saw that his grandmother was fine.

Although my sister had been on a plane twice, it was still very novel to her and she almost wanted to stick her eyes to the plane window.

"Brother, look at the wings of the plane shaking, will they break?"

"Nonsense, airplane wings are very resilient, and such a small vibration won't cause any problems. Also, don't say such unlucky words on an airplane."

Wang Jiankun stopped his sister from talking nonsense, fearing that other passengers would hear and have opinions.

After the plane entered the stratosphere and began to level out, the flight attendants began to push out the service car and distribute souvenirs and snacks.

My sister accepted everything and even asked the flight attendant to pick and choose, choosing her favorite candies and chocolates, and also asked for a cup of Coca-Cola.

Grandpa and father each ordered a glass of Moutai, while mother and grandmother chose juice.

If you took a plane a few years ago, each passenger would be given a whole bottle of Moutai liquor and a whole pack of cigarettes.

In the past two years, domestic civil aviation has gradually begun to catch up with Europe and the United States, and ticket prices have not increased much, so the souvenirs and food distributed have begun to decrease in quantity.

In addition, civil aviation has had a no-smoking regulation since last year. Because this year is a transition period, some flights do not strictly enforce this regulation or smoking is still allowed in some special circumstances.

The no-smoking requirement was mentioned in the announcement before takeoff on this flight, so the passengers were very conscious and did not take out cigarettes to smoke.

The reason for the smoking ban is that in December 1982, CAAC Flight 12 crashed. Later investigation into the accident found that a passenger did not put the cigarette butt in the required place when smoking, which ignited the aircraft's interior materials and caused a serious fire in the aircraft. Ultimately, the flight crashed during an emergency landing, and all the passengers, pilots, and crew members on board were killed.

However, airport security is very lax nowadays, and there is no requirement to prohibit the carrying of flammable materials such as lighters and matches. Therefore, some passengers will smoke even if the flight attendants try to stop them, because some of them may be of a higher rank and are not afraid of the flight attendants at all.

There were no such people on the plane, so Wang Jiankun didn't need to use his super powers to stop this dangerous behavior. The businessmen were sitting behind Wang Jiankun and his friends, so he could hear their conversation clearly.

After listening for a while, he knew why these people came. Five of them were going to Wuyuan to discuss a motorcycle project, and two were going to Hongdu to discuss a lighter project.

They are from Liaoning Province, Heilongjiang Province, Inner Mongolia and BJ.

Now the first phase of Wuyuan's motorcycle factory has reached full production, with a monthly production capacity of more than 5 vehicles. The second phase is about to be completed, and the production line is expected to be installed and debugged in August.

Because the production capacity of the first phase was too small, sales were mainly through direct sales by Xingyao Group and the county’s joint venture factory. At that time, we didn’t even advertise to recruit distributors.

However, after the completion of the second phase of the motorcycle factory's construction, the production capacity will reach 15 units per month. It will be difficult to sell through its own direct sales network, so it is necessary to recruit dealers externally.

That's why Wang Jiankun met the people who were going to Wuyuan for a dealer conference on this flight.

This year, because high-level leaders conducted a southern tour and delivered a series of speeches that clearly revealed their confidence in reform and opening up, policies in various regions have begun to change very obviously. Even the very conservative central and western regions have begun to relax control over private and collective economies.

This can also be seen from the continued hot sales of this motorcycle product.

At this time, the monthly production capacity of the Jialing Motorcycle Factory in Chongqing and the motorcycle factory jointly established by Xingyao Group and Wuyuan County has reached nearly 15 units. However, the motorcycles produced by these two factories have no inventory backlogs and are very easy to sell.

The price of a motorcycle ranges from 2000 to 5000 yuan, which is relatively expensive in China, but there are still a lot of people buying it.

Wang Jiankun learned from the data obtained by the business investigation team of Xingyao Group that most of the people who bought the cars were self-employed individuals or those who borrowed money to do short-distance transportation.

Most self-employed people buy medium-sized and heavy-duty motorcycles, which they modify slightly so that they can carry hundreds of kilograms of cargo and their range of movement is expanded several times that of bicycles.

Those who engage in short-distance transportation mostly buy light and medium-sized vehicles, mainly to carry people and transport light goods. They can often earn enough money to buy a vehicle in half a year.

However, the development of the motorcycle industry in Wuyuan County has been relatively limited, mainly due to electricity problems.

Although Secretary Wu had been coordinating electricity support for Wuyuan after he was promoted to Raozhou, Raozhou was also developing vigorously at this time, and several places within its jurisdiction did not want to lag too far behind the most remote Wuyuan County.

Therefore, the third phase construction of the motorcycle factory can no longer be carried out according to the original schedule.

Even if the newly appointed county officials have support from the province, it will not work because the thermal power plants are in other districts and counties under Raozhou, and they will of course give priority to local development.

Wang Jiankun couldn't intervene because Wuyuan's geographical environment and resources were indeed very limited. It would be very good if the second phase of production capacity could be fully utilized, and the third phase of the project would depend on future developments.

Now most parts of the country are building thermal power plants, and the construction of hydropower stations is also in full swing, but the construction cycle of conventional power is very long, often starting at 3 or 4 years.

However, his superpowers and helium nuclear reactors are not suitable for public use in the country, so now the development of his hometown Wuyuan must follow the laws of economic development.

However, he also began to let Xingyao Group conduct trial production of thermal power generating sets. At the same time, he also stepped up efforts to accelerate the sales of 4-axis and 5-axis CNC machine tools to the domestic machinery manufacturing industry, hoping that the domestic manufacturing capacity could be improved faster.

……

The flight distance from BJ to Hongdu is relatively short, only more than 2 kilometers. The level flight speed of this Trident aircraft is more than 900 kilometers per hour, so the plane landed at Hongdu Airport in a little more than 2 hours.

After landing, my uncle, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, came to pick me up in a truck.

His car went directly to the airport, so Wang Jiankun and his friends didn't have to walk a long way to the terminal.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Jiankun, Xiangxiang, is BJ fun?"

"It's fun, so fun, and there are a lot of delicious food. Uncle, do you want to go and play?" The little sister was quick-talking and started to tell her uncle, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, about what she saw and did in BJ.

"You drove the military vehicle directly to the airport. Is that okay?"

Grandpa looked at the license plate of the truck driven by my uncle and knew that it was a military vehicle, so he asked with some concern.

"It's okay, Dad. Our troops have to make a living now. This car will be used for transportation the rest of the time except for routine training. I'm a deputy regiment commander now, so it's no big deal for me to drive here to pick you up." The uncle said nonchalantly.

"That's good. Then you can just drop us off at the train station. You should return the car. If I had known you were going to take the bus, I wouldn't have asked you to pick me up at the airport."

My grandfather had strong principles, so he didn't want my uncle to take advantage of the army.

"Dad, let's go to my place and take a look before we leave. You can stay at our military district's guesthouse for one night. I have something to tell you. We can go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. My sister is taking care of us at home, so nothing will happen."

"Do you have something to say?" Grandpa, grandma and father looked at each other, probably guessed something, and agreed to his uncle's arrangement.

So grandpa and grandma sat in the driver's seat, and Wang Jiankun, his parents and his younger sister sat in the back of the truck. There was a suitcase underneath that served as a stool, so it was not uncomfortable.
