Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 274: Luyang Jun, be my most loyal comrade!

Chen Tuo rolled his eyes.

I saw two young men downstairs going upstairs one after another.

After a few minutes, the door of the house opened.

Chen Jinyue whispered, "Be careful when you go back."

Then Chen Luyang's voice sounded.

"Rest early, eat more, don't go hungry. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you."

Chen Tuo and his mother were eavesdropping at the door.

When he heard this, Chen Tuo snorted in anger.

What does “Tell him what you want to eat and he will buy it for you” mean?
I raised my daughter by myself since she was a child!

What does she want to eat? As a father, can’t he afford it and has to ask Chen Luyang for it?

He was holding back his anger, but Mother Chen was quite amused by what she heard.

"Old Chen, you really have to say, Xiao Chen is really thoughtful."

Chen Tuo rolled his eyes helplessly.

No matter what.

At least this guy managed to send his daughter home safely in the middle of the night.

The door was locked, and Chen Jinyue washed up and went back to his room to sleep.

Chen Tuo and his mother finally felt relieved and could go to bed with peace of mind.

Lying on the bed, the old couple sighed softly.

I don't know when this day of pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth will end...

On the other side,
After Lu Changsi safely sent Chen Luyang and Marco Polo back to the machinery factory, he drove directly back to the unit.

He has been severely sleep deprived due to continuous business trips these days.

Plus I had to drive out again the next day.

Lu Changsi simply didn't bother going home and just stayed in the office for the night so he could sleep a little longer.

Entered the office,
Lu Changsi did not lie down on the sofa directly, but stood in the corner, flipping through a pile of newspapers one by one.

flipping, flipping,

Suddenly, Lu Changsi stopped what he was doing.

In the newspaper, a photo of Chen Tuo shaking hands with a young man was printed large in the middle of the page.

Looking at the two people smiling and shaking hands in the newspaper,
Lu Changsi confirmed his guess, and then put the newspapers back one by one in order.

Take off your shoes,

On the sofa,
sleep!

……

I went through a street survey that was almost like a map.

at last,

Italian engineers sat in the workshop, took pens and began to draw the car design on the blueprints.

In order to better facilitate communication between the two parties, the fusion workshop specially arranged a workstation for Italian engineer leader Marco Polo.

As luck would have it, his desk was right across from Wataru Ebe's desk.

The Japanese had always disliked the Italian engineering delegation, and this time they met face to face, they felt even more disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

But at least Ebe Wataru is still a person who can hide his thoughts.

He always greeted Marco Polo normally, and the only way he secretly expressed his dissatisfaction was to bump into him!
Several times.

Chen Luyang could see it in the corridor,
Whenever Wataru Ebe and Marco Polobo walked face to face, Wataru Ebe had to lower his head and walk faster on purpose, bumping into Marco Polobo with force.

However, Marco Polo was too strong!

Instead of causing any substantial harm, Wataru Ebe's small body caused him to be bounced away several times.

After a few times, Mark Polo thought this was Jiangbian's unique way of greeting.

Whenever I see the riverside, I run towards it happily and crash into it.

The people who were hit by the river were almost numb.

In the end, let alone revenge in secret,
When they saw Marco Polo from a distance on the river bank, they hid away frantically, not even daring to show their faces.

"You said we are all friends, why bother!"

Chen Luyang took out a cloth bag from his cotton-padded jacket, which contained hot buns made by his mother.

He handed the bun to Wataru Ebe.

"We are all from a foreign country, let's have fun together."

Chen Luyang began to persuade Jiangbian Wataru earnestly.

Wataru Ebe refused to admit defeat: "My skills are no worse than theirs!"

Chen Luyang coaxed her like a child: "Of course you must!"

A few days ago, the automobile engine branch factory came to the machinery factory to communicate with Jiangbian Duyilang to upgrade the engine.

Wataru Ebe seemed to have regained some confidence and decided to give full play to his intelligence and talents to compete with Marco Polo and others.

Before they develop the blueprints, get the engine upgrade done before them!

"When the sports field is finished, I'll show them how good I am!"

Wataru Ebe looked at the sports field under construction, and an extremely strong light burst out from his little eyes! ! !

Chen Luyang thought he had heard wrongly.

"What kind of sports field?"

Didn’t we talk about the engine before?
Why are we talking about the sports field all of a sudden?

Wataru Ebe looked at Chen Luyang with a firm gaze.

"I heard there's going to be a football match!"

"I want to show them how powerful our football is!!!"

Chen Luyang had a dull expression, but he was roaring inside.

Not Big Brother...

You are just one person, but Marco Polo and Polo have come with a whole group.

Besides, Italian football is not bad either!
Jiangbian Wataru looked at Chen Luyang with eyes full of expectation and trust:
"Luyang Jun, are you willing to fight alongside me? Turn your back to me on the battlefield and become my most loyal comrade!!!"

Chen Luyang blinked stiffly.

“…I do!”

"Yo Xi~"

Wataru Ebe carefully took out a small notebook and circled the word "Luyang Jun".

What is this?

How come you have your own name?
Chen Luyang leaned over to take a look curiously!
I saw that the small notebook was filled with names of acquaintances.

The names of Cao Qinghang, Xiao Wu, Ma Guangbei, Teacher Su’s lover He Ganshi and many other people are included.

I worked in the machinery factory for half a year.

In this factory with tens of thousands of people who are united and enthusiastic, Wataru Ebe has made many good friends through his own efforts.

Chen Luyang looked at these names and became more and more shocked!

This guy is really sharp!!
The candidates are all young men in their prime and strong.
"Weak middle-aged scholars" like Lao Hao, Lao Jiang, and Lao Cui were not on the list at all.

Not even qualified to be a candidate.

At this time, the hired workers were laying cement on the cleaned track. As the days grew longer, the temperature grew warmer.

The office and logistics department signed a military order with the factory leaders, requiring the sports field to be paved before Qingming Festival.

These days, the machines in the rubber workshop have been running non-stop day and night.

Prepare a large amount of rubber powder to pave the runway.

at the same time,

A new batch of the factory's sales and maintenance personnel also boarded trains bound for various parts of the country to continue their work.

Chen Luyang specifically told the self-sales staff of Pianer City about Su Xiaoying's situation.

After hearing this, the maintenance worker took a few more parts with him and went to replace them for Su Xiaoying when the time came.

Chen Luyang looked at the big bags carried by the self-selling staff, and a trace of heartache appeared in his eyes.

These brothers have worked so hard...

Since the car parts are all made by themselves using molds, the workers have to carry them themselves to repair and replace parts.

If the replacement part is small, it's fine.

If a large part needs to be replaced, it must be shipped back to the factory for repair.

Fortunately, the cars sold now are considered new and have been used for less than half a year.

There are not many parts that need to be replaced or repaired. At most, we just need to make a follow-up visit and conduct regular inspections.

But after a long time, we will have to pay attention to this aspect sooner or later.

Chen Luyang frowned slightly.

It would be nice if we could set up a few repair stations in these major cities...

But he just thought about it.

Opening a maintenance station in another city requires a lot of communication.

At least these are not the issues he needs to consider now.

soon.

Italian engineers took the first version of the design drawings and started their first cooperation meeting with the machinery factory!
Chen Luyang attended the meeting as a full-time technical translator, responsible for taking meeting minutes and providing real-time translation.

Before the meeting,

Yu Anshan, Hao Fengchun, Cao Qinghang and everyone in the fusion workshop are looking forward to and attaching great importance to today's meeting!

Italian car companies specialize in making sports cars. In addition to their excellent technology, they are best at car design.

It would be great if Italian engineers could design this car to be more practical!!!
Everyone excitedly opened the blueprint and took a look!!!
? ? ? ?
What is this?

"Are you going to perform on stage?"

Old Xue, a folk art enthusiast, pushed his glasses and asked a question from the bottom of his heart.

The originally square car has now become streamlined.

Especially in the front part, the windshield is deliberately changed from vertical to slightly inclined and the design of integrated headlights extends to the sides on both sides.

At first glance, it looks like a drama performer who has put on slanted eyes and is preparing to perform on stage!
“What kind of design is this??”

Yu Anshan, Hao Fengchun and Cao Qinghang's expressions froze slightly.

The car in the illustration is indeed very nice.

But no matter how good-looking you are, you still have to consider the domestic aesthetic needs and current production capacity!
And there is this car door!

Sliding doors?
Can't we just open and close the car door openly?
You're sliding sideways like this, isn't it tiring?
The simple people in the machinery factory suddenly saw the car designed by this foreign comrade and felt a little uncomfortable.

Everyone in the fusion workshop looked at it with complicated expressions.

Italian engineers are full of anticipation!
After Marco Polobo and others finished drawing the design, what they needed most was feedback from others.

Chen Luyang said, "Engineer Cao, the Italian engineers are asking for your opinions on the design."

"Very good! The design is very good." Cao Qinghang chose his words carefully.

"The two side windows of this car are beautifully designed and large! They enhance your vision while riding in the car!"

"The body proportions and rear design are also good, and the straighter tailgate shape can maximize the trunk volume, making it easier to load things."

……

Cao Qinghang said,
Chen Luyang quickly wrote a sentence in the conference notebook and then translated it to the Italian engineers.

The Italian representatives listened, looked at each other, and interrupted directly:

"We want to hear what you are dissatisfied with or what you think needs improvement. Please don't say these compliments."

Cao Qinghang pondered for a moment and said, "It's like this. What we want is a minivan that can satisfy everyone's aesthetic needs and is also practical."

"Although our car is well designed, we hope to make some improvements in the interior design and some technical aspects."

Marco Polo wrote Cao Qinghang's request in a notebook and said:

"We will make improvements based on your requirements, but even for models that are primarily practical, we should still focus on the aesthetics of the design and the overall image of the vehicle."

"When I first saw your car at the auto show, I thought the exterior design was truly ugly. Who would want to drive such an ugly car, no matter how beautiful the interior is?"

Chen Luyang frowned slightly.

These Italians have no ill intentions, they just don't know how to beat around the bush and are used to speaking their mind directly.

If you have any ideas, express them directly. I don’t know if it’s called euphemism.

If he translated it directly, it is hard to guarantee that his brothers in the machinery factory would be unhappy after hearing it.

So Chen Luyang softened his words and expressed the Italian representative's meaning in the softest tone possible.

Cao Qinghang frowned. "Although a beautiful vehicle's appearance is important, a design that is too beautiful will not only increase production costs, but it will also conflict with the simple image of the cars we have always created."

The small vans of the machinery factory are currently mainly aimed at various production units, communes and factories.

When people buy a car, the first thing they pay attention to is the practicality, durability and price of the vehicle.

The cars produced by the machinery factory are square and look solid and durable, giving people a sense of reliability and solidity.

The car designed by Italian engineers is in stark contrast to the image of existing cars.

Let’s not even talk about whether the general public can adapt to it.

Those of us who make cars can't stand it at first sight.

The Italian engineer representative was stunned for a moment.

The car is not good-looking! ?

What's the reason?
In their company, everyone racks their brains day and night to think about how to design the car to be more beautiful and smoother.

What are these engineers at the machinery factory thinking?
Their previous car was square and angular, like a big iron box.

Let’s not talk about whether it looks good or not.
Wind resistance is a problem when driving!

"Our design not only enhances the car's modern feel, but also significantly reduces wind resistance compared to your previous models."

Marco Polo replied seriously: "We think this design change is completely reasonable."

Chen Luyang translated Marco Polobo's opinion, and the faces of everyone in the machinery factory became serious.

But,
There are no disagreements in cooperation!
"Xiao Chen, please write down the front design first. We will discuss this issue later."

Yu Anshan didn't waste time and spoke directly.

The most important thing in a meeting is to communicate all the ideas of both parties first.

No matter whether it is good or bad, agreement or disagreement, put it all on the table first so that both parties can have a general understanding of each other's ideas and opinions.

You can't just keep arguing about one aspect.

"The second thing is this car door."

Cao Qinghang said, "This sliding door is not as practical as the original double-leaf door. Not only is it expensive to manufacture, but daily maintenance is also a problem."
