Chapter 256 Boss Li’s sugar-coated bullet (fourth update, please subscribe)
Building a car is difficult, but building an agricultural tricycle is not easy either.
Li Yian’s memory of agricultural tricycles comes from taking it for granted that he was in another world. It was already around 2000. There were a lot of small four-wheel tractor manufacturers in China at that time, and there were all kinds of tractors on the market. The spare parts and engines are readily available, and the factory also has a certain amount of technology accumulation. It's natural to build an agricultural tricycle that costs several thousand yuan each.
But here in Borneo... except for rubber forests, there is nothing else.
Want to build a farm tricycle out of wood?
Fortunately, there are many truck spare parts available, and the truck's wheels, bearings and other accessories are relatively complete. By searching for available accessories among existing parts, we solved the problems of agricultural tricycle production one by one.
If you don’t have your own industrial supporting equipment, then you should import parts from abroad first. Fortunately, industrial production in Europe is now recovering, but the current prices of agricultural products are very high. It is entirely possible to export agricultural products such as rice, sugar, and coffee in Europe in exchange for various accessories, turning European countries into into its own industrial supporting facilities.
At the same time, Milian led the technical department and invested in the research and development of agricultural tricycles.
Building a vehicle, even an agricultural tricycle, is not in a hurry.
Li Yian couldn't help with this kind of professional matter. In the next few days, he directly transformed into Party A, making various requests for the technical department to complete.
However, in terms of money, Li Yian did not treat these technical staff badly. He specially allocated 5,000 yuan as a bonus. Every time the technical department breaks through a key technical point, they can get a bonus.
With the encouragement of money, the research and development work of agricultural tricycles is also making rapid progress.
At the same time, the production workshop of the machinery maintenance plant has also begun modification work to convert the original equipment into a production line suitable for agricultural tricycles. Although it cannot be said to be an assembly line, it can also maximize production efficiency.
It was at this time that the technical department encountered the biggest obstacle - as soon as I entered the technical department that day, I saw several engines placed there.
There are cars, motorcycles, diesel engines, and even hot-bulb diesel engines.
Milian and several engineers stood in front of the pile of engines, frowning, as if they had encountered something difficult.
“Have you not found a suitable engine yet?”
Li Yian asked.
The engine is single-cylinder, this is Li Yian's request. What is the reason why agricultural tricycles are so popular all over the country?
It is the simple and durable operation of a single-cylinder diesel engine!
If a motorcycle engine is used, the structure is too complicated, and the cost will naturally increase. How is it different from other three-wheeled motorcycles?
Fortunately, in this era, there is already a horizontal single-cylinder low-speed diesel engine.
"Chief Li, for now, the only engine that meets your requirements is a horizontal single-cylinder low-speed diesel engine. But Its weight is a bit larger, but its horsepower and torque are sufficient, and it can basically only meet the requirements of an agricultural tricycle!"
Millian paused. , then asked:
“However, because this engine uses a double flywheel design, the structure of the tricycle needs to be adjusted. We are considering how to install the engine, which requires readjusting the original design.”
Whose design is being adjusted? Of course it is Li Yian's "design", but that design has been tested for decades. If adjustments are made, what if the performance of the car is affected?
Agricultural tricycles will be Borneo’s flagship product that sweeps the world in the future. After all, no one in this world can refuse a bargain.
With a truck costing $5,000, who doesn’t love a truck costing $1,000?
Even if it is only 1,000 US dollars, the profit is more than 50%!
Wherever you are adjusting the design, you are clearly adjusting a small amount of money!
"Can't install it? What's going on?"
Li Yian asked directly:
"Where is the single-cylinder diesel engine?" Why can agricultural tricycles sweep the market?
Isn’t it just the simplicity and durability of a single-cylinder diesel engine? Even an illiterate person can easily maintain and repair it. If it is replaced with another engine, how can it be possible to break into the engine? Vast markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Therefore, the foundation of an agricultural tricycle is a small single-cylinder diesel engine!
There is no other way.
But no matter what, Li Yian never thought that his agricultural tricycle would eventually get stuck in the engine. It's similar to the one in the other world, except that the engine is stuck, but the current technical level is a bit inferior.
"Mr. Li, this is a 15-horsepower horizontal single-cylinder low-speed diesel engine manufactured by Deutz. There are similar engines in other countries. Its power range is very wide. The most widely used ones are 8-horsepower, 15-horsepower, 25-horsepower, and 40-horsepower models.”
Following the direction of Milian’s finger, Li Yian saw the single-cylinder diesel engine he was longing for...
Look, it’s different from the single-cylinder diesel engines I’ve seen before!
Even the starting method is different. It starts by turning the flywheel back and forth for half a turn. However, the "boom, boom" noise and the choking oil smoke after starting made Li Yian find some points. Familiar feeling.
After the engine is started, the flywheels facing each other begin to rotate at high speed, which affects its installation on the vehicle.
“Can the flywheel be removed?”
It seems like a casual question, but it actually puts forward a new requirement - to develop a new diesel engine!
There is absolutely no problem with this, at least in terms of talent. After all, there are more than a dozen Deutz engineers living in the villa on the plateau.
Those engineers originally only trained technicians in the maintenance shop to assist in engine repair, and then served as mentors to lead a few interns. This was simply a waste of talent, so in order to solve the heart disease of agricultural tricycles , these talents were naturally called together to develop a new single-cylinder diesel engine. Not only Deutz engineers participated in the development, but also dozens of company interns. Most of them had studied machinery in China, and they were also here. Apply what you learn.
In fact, although Li Yian is an amateur when it comes to diesel engines, he is systematic, and the system can fully instill skills. However, for Li Yian, compared to agricultural tricycles at this time, he On the contrary, it pays more attention to the cultivation of talents, and cultivates its own talent team through the development of engines. After all, San Dezi's gifts will eventually be used up, and the talent team ultimately has to rely on itself.
Although in the early stages of industrial development, purchasing mature technology and equipment from abroad is a shortcut for enterprise development, but if an enterprise wants to develop in the long term, it must rely on independent research and development. Only in this way can an enterprise Only then will it have long-term vitality, otherwise, it will be nothing more than a foundry in the end.
So, sometimes, between time and the future, you can still choose the latter. After all, you can only see the future by looking up at the stars.
If people don't want to look up at the sky, Li Yian doesn't mind raising the whip in his hand.
Many times, whips are more effective than candies, but the ones that really have the lasting effect are candies. After all, whips make people resist. Even if they are unable to resist, they will use silence as resistance, but candies are different. Delicious candies will make people flock to them, make people yearn for them, make people... and stimulate people's enthusiasm.
As a reward for researchers, Li Yian specially set up a major project bonus - 10,000 yuan!
Nothing else is to stimulate people's enthusiasm. After all, this world is real. Money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.
Money may not buy it
But who would have thought that the first major project in Borneo was actually a single-cylinder diesel engine that seemed insignificant.
In fact, sometimes many things seem so incredible.
