Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 288 Construction Completed

Can a large industrial park be built in two months? Or without excavators, cranes, bulldozers and the like.

There are more than 60 factory buildings, plus office buildings, large parking lots, canteens, nurseries, nurseries, etc., adding up to more than 80 houses of various sizes. Fortunately, the factory buildings are all two-story, but the area is very large.

The entire industrial area is a square structure, divided into four areas: southeast, northwest and northwest. Each of the four areas has a large canteen. In the central area, there is a food court, which is a large canteen.

After the entire industrial park is built, it will be fully utilized and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Although people do not live here, there will always be supporting toilets. This is not a small amount.

However, the provinces and districts have organized teams from about 20 urban housing and construction bureaus. Each housing and construction bureau is responsible for an average of four or five buildings, so it is not impossible to handle it.

If 100 people work on a construction site, it can be completed in one year. So 200 people definitely can’t shorten the time to half a year, but with 300 people, it can be shortened to about five months.

Luo Cheng didn’t know how many people were mobilized in the industrial zone, but he had seen it anyway and found that there were people everywhere, and it felt like there could be tens of thousands of people. There are so many trucks delivering grain and vegetables there every day, and trucks taking people to work are also often seen.

Anyway, no matter how big a factory is, the four sides must be built at the same time, and the walls are thick. If there are no machines, there are just too many people.

So in two months, not only the houses were built, but also the surrounding drainage and roads were completed. In fact, if some processes did not require waiting time, the speed would still be faster. After each floor is built, the surface must be allowed to dry for several days. Construction cannot be done immediately. Otherwise, the two-story large factory building can be built at once, which will affect the reliability. type.

In fact, to be honest, it takes two months to build an industrial park one by one. It is nothing. The infrastructure maniacs of later generations are really not just bragging. Building a high-rise hotel in a month is just a modular construction method, and many materials must be prepared in advance. But it was pretty quick.

The rapid construction of industrial zones is of course a good thing, as it gives the car factories enough time to slowly move there. But the planting and breeding planned by Luo Cheng almost went wrong in this month.

Two pounds of rice and three pounds of whole grains. According to the price, it’s less than fifty cents. This was the land reclamation treatment given by Luo Cheng, but he didn’t know how it was implemented later. Those who didn’t do heavy work couldn’t get these five kilograms of food. They are all calculated in the form of rural work points. Ten points count as one work point. Most people get eight points. It is also normal for the old and weak to get four points.

If you only get four points, it is actually less than a pound of rice plus more than a pound of whole grains. According to Luo Cheng’s assumption, people these days have big appetites. If he earns this much, Luo Cheng feels that it is not enough to eat.

Of course, earning more than eight points feels like enough. Luo Cheng’s original idea was to let them not only eat themselves, but also save some food for returning home.

But Luo Cheng forgot one thing. He counted 50 cents for food, but he didn’t include the food stamps needed to buy food. What’s more, just fifty cents is a lot. It’s fifteen cents a month, while ordinary temporary workers only earn less than twenty cents. There are even fewer casual workers sweeping the streets, with just over ten yuan.

Moreover, the money they earn cannot buy food, and in rural areas, there is no guarantee that a person working together can produce an average of 150 kilograms of food a month.

So some local rural people who knew about it started making trouble and treated the beggars better than the local rural people. You must know that in order to survive until the spring harvest, everyone has to clearly calculate how many mouthfuls of food each person will eat. Now it’s okay. Those who are strong and powerful can get five kilograms of grain for their work. This is unfair to rural farmers. If this happens, they will stop farming and become beggars to earn five kilograms of grain a day. live.

Even some people who work casual jobs in the city want to work. Of the five kilograms of grain, two kilograms are still thin. Why can’t it be done? If it were on the black market, it could be sold for a piece.

Luo Cheng really didn’t expect that there would be a quarrel because of the large amount of food provided. A fight almost broke out. Even if the people nearby were not allowed to do the work, these beggars would not be able to do it either. Stop them from doing the work.

In the end, the salary was reduced, and the hills were divided, so that nearby rural people could organize themselves to help open up wasteland. It was originally expected that there would be no rush to plant fruits on the mountain, and they would first open up wasteland to grow vegetables and watermelons. Later, due to the large number of people joining, the mountains and forests were all cleared. According to the analysis by people from the Agricultural University, as long as those plants and trees affect the growth of fruit trees, Everything was cleared, and the lumber was used to build wooden houses.

During the construction of this industrial zone, something happened. Two hundred of the gasoline engines produced by the automobile factory were purchased by Japan, at a cost of 600,000 yuan. But there was no follow-up action, and Luo Chengdu was a little worried. He couldn’t be so lucky, so he could avoid detours and crack it in advance.

According to Luo Cheng’s guess, under normal circumstances, you would have to buy at least a few hundred units. In this way, if you want to obtain technology, you should spend between 15 and 2 million. Of course, it will take time to crack it. It will be delayed for half a year before it can be put into production, at least by the end of the year.

And what is more regrettable is that even if Japan comes up with the same gasoline engine as the car factory. Luo Cheng also has turbocharging technology. In addition to increasing the horsepower, when driving normally, as long as the number of yards is not exceeded, it is more fuel-efficient than directly using a high-horsepower engine.

But Little Japan didn’t want to rigidly crack it, and actually sent people directly to buy the technology. The asking price is really not low, and it also brings a purchase contract. As long as it is willing to sell the technology, a Japanese group is willing to purchase a large amount of gasoline engines from automobile factories, but the price is favorable.

To put it simply, even if they get the technology, they don’t want to waste time. They are a defeated country and cannot have their own regular army, so they are now fully committed to developing industry. However, due to geographical location, the development of industry is also a civilian industry. There are many countries that cooperate with them now, but there are also many competitors. Their current goal is very simple. After mastering the technology, they don’t mind letting China process it for them.

Moreover, China’s production costs are indeed low. This time, it is the Wuzu Engine Factory that is taking the lead in negotiating with the car manufacturers, hoping to promote cooperation. The Wuling Engine Factory is a Japanese-funded cooperation and produces diesel engines. It brings a lot of profits to the local area every year and solves many employment problems.

When Japan has the technology, it is impossible for Luo Cheng’s engines to be sold at high prices in Japan, and they can only earn processing fees. But even with the processing fee, the profit is actually still possible. One theory is that they may know that their country has a bad image in China, so they are actually quite generous when it comes to cooperation.

Even in later generations, many foreign-funded companies cooperated, but I have never heard of anything that had a big impact on Japanese-funded companies. On the contrary, problems often arise in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, and India.

Luo Cheng is actually willing to sell technology, but in this era, he has to be cautious when it comes to external affairs. When you sell technology, especially to Japan, just don’t make any groundless accusations.

In the end, Luo Cheng wanted to report to Dai Tiande. Fortunately, Luo Cheng’s engine was a civilian technology. If the price was reasonable, it was not impossible to sell it. Anyway, what we are selling is foreign exchange, and the price is not low. Just report the situation. But what Dai Tiande is currently confused about is why he wants to sell it. The technology is in his own hands. Why is it bad to keep exporting engines at high prices? Although they are sold sporadically, the main reason is that the prices are too expensive and backward countries cannot afford them.

This is just like China. I know how big the gap is between good equipment and poor equipment, but I often just try to get a bargain. As long as I can make do with it, I buy the cheaper one. As for the more advanced countries in this era, to put it bluntly, the current domestic relations with many countries are not very good, and sales cannot be opened.

It would be good to be able to export some scattered products now, and Japan can indeed cooperate with many countries now. Luo Cheng believes that as long as the price is reasonable, it can be processed. As long as the daily production volume is sufficient, there is no problem in adding a few production lines specifically for processing.

But if there are not many orders, don’t blame this company for selling more than one technology. Even if the final export price is only slightly more expensive than the processing price, Luo Cheng doesn’t care.

What China is least afraid of is a price war. Let alone a price war with foreign countries, in the future, it will kill itself internally.

Therefore, after Luo Cheng agreed to sell the technology, there was nothing left for him. As for the money, it will be given directly to the provincial finance, and then the province will not need to pay the automobile factory, but will directly pay for the construction of the industrial zone. Therefore, there is no need for the automobile factory to pay in the first two months. After the construction of the industrial park is completed, the amount of money that will be invested later will be basically astronomical.

Just like the car factory now, millions of dollars will be lost after just a few production lines. After the industrial park is completed, with the current capacity of the automobile factory and no site restrictions, a large number of talents will be replenished in the next one or two months.

The only thing missing is money. Only with money can we have equipment. Once we have the equipment, we can recruit a large number of workers of all types.

Luo Cheng is also waiting and has signed an order agreement with Japan. Some of the money he has accumulated in the past two months will be invested in the production line.

So the first project to be moved to the industrial zone is the gasoline engine. Regardless of the profits that automobile factories now make in the millions per month, the construction of staff buildings, the production of buses, and the production of trucks are currently investments with little return. The current production of buses only gives priority to pick-up and drop-off for employees of automobile factories. Moreover, there are currently not enough vehicles to penetrate into various areas of the city.

The engine factory will be moved there first, and when the production line is added, hundreds of people will be needed to produce parts alone. And the people who assemble it are even more. Therefore, cooperation with Japan alone can turn a separated project into a fairly large factory. And this does not include diesel engines. Considering that the market for diesel engines is actually broader, even if the factory in the industrial zone is very large, one factory can accommodate all the production and assembly lines of gasoline and diesel engines. But Luo Cheng thinks it’s better to separate them. Together they are easier to manage, but sooner or later they have to be separated. The car factory’s sales have not yet gone beyond the provinces.

The buses currently produced by the automobile factory only depart from the automobile factory and go to the industrial area. Therefore, those who used to work on gasoline engine units in automobile factories, whether for production or assembly, had to go to industrial zones.

There are two buses in the morning and one in the evening. There are 40 seats on the bus, but it is impossible to just pick up 40 people and leave. If you don’t get a seat, you have to stand. There are handles and armrests on the bus. Calculated based on two shifts, if the engine plant is fully staffed, at least twenty vehicles will be needed to go to and from get off work.

If we really want to provide transportation for tens of thousands of workers to and from get off work in the future, it is unrealistic to simply use shuttle buses to transport them. The industrial area is large, and the wasteland surrounding the industrial area is even larger. Even on the roads from one city to another in later generations, everyone can actually see that after leaving the city, many roads on both sides are either barren mountains or sparsely populated households.

Neighbors are all hundreds or thousands of meters apart. The industrial zone chosen by Luo Cheng was built in such a place with relatively few people.

In order to reduce traffic pressure in the future, Luo Cheng will not acquire land in the city to build employee dormitories. Just build it around the industrial area so that everyone can walk to work in about ten minutes at most. But if you really do that, you will be building a living area, and you will need a lot of supporting facilities. At least there must be a grain station, a supply and marketing cooperative, and the like.

Luo Cheng felt that he had gone astray again. He obviously just wanted to build a few cars at the beginning, but now he seemed to be playing a construction game. Relying on the car factory, he started from scratch. Maybe it might develop into a city outside the city in the future. .

Before the construction of the industrial zone, the provinces and regions also promised to contribute, and that was the recruitment issue. Machine operating technicians and general assemblers. First, mainly technical workers will be transferred to the industrial area, and the automobile factory will be responsible for the housing issues of the workers.

Ordinary workers naturally give priority to local workers. This time, with one move, there are thousands of workers in one category. In the past, thousands of people were recruited, and several types of production lines were combined together.

Another point is that the gasoline engine technology has been sold, which does not mean that there is no need to prevent others from stealing the technology. But there is no need to be so strict on security. Some anti-theft assembly can already be left to ordinary workshops. In this way, the few and highly skilled military industrial masters were also liberated.

The automobile factory is gradually moving away from the past, but problems are also beginning to arise among internal members. Luo Cheng is very young, and there may be situations that overwhelm his level in the future. But for the people below Luo Cheng, it’s not a question of pressure, it’s a question of whether they are qualified to maintain their original positions.

Director Zhang himself said that he was not capable enough and was only responsible for a part of the work. Instead, he took retreat in order to advance. But Du Yongkang, the deputy director of the factory, originally wanted to come over and try his abilities, and get some gold plating by the way. He planned to work around for a few years. As the scale of the automobile factory increased, he could achieve a triple jump in level even if he remained a deputy director. At that time, even if he is transferred back to the place, he can perform overtaking in corners.

But it has only been a few months now, and it has directly turned into an industrial zone. Luo Cheng has become the district director of the industrial park, but he, Du Yongkang, cannot become the deputy district director. This is not how gold plating is done. If he goes to the industrial zone, even if he becomes an industrial zone director, it will be a small jump.

To be honest, Du Yongkang’s ability to focus on production at the automobile factory was not outstanding. But when I look at him presiding over a meeting, he actually has some ability in personnel scheduling. After that, he will go to the industrial zone to become a director, and maybe he can really use his talents. When the deputy director becomes director, the title seems to be lowered, but the level is raised.

But for Du Yongkang, such an increase in level is not a good thing. Unless he can become the deputy district chief with outstanding ability in the future. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to improve in large-scale places.

And if Luo Cheng doesn’t build an industrial zone and just slowly develops an automobile factory, his position as deputy director will generally remain unchanged and he will be promoted on the fly.

But Du Yongkang is no idiot. Even if he becomes the director, he will still be one of the first veterans. Work hard to manage the park well. Under the same conditions, if there are real competitors, he will be given priority to become the deputy district chief. But I’m afraid that a deputy district chief will be parachuted in, and he will have to endure it slowly.

(Some readers said that five kilograms of food a day was too much. After some calculations, it was indeed true. However, it is difficult to change the VIP version released, and there is a fee, so I can only change it back through the plot. It is equivalent to inflating the word count in disguise)
