Feng Xiaochen followed Feng Li to Tongchuan on a long-distance bus and told Tongchuan's relatives that they were coming back to worship their ancestors and New Year's greetings. Feng Weiren has no brothers and sisters, but has a large gang of relatives. He has walked around each other in the past, and some have a good relationship with Feng Li. This time, when he went back, Feng Li and Feng Xiaochen lived at a cousin's house in Feng Li, and then went out to visit other relatives every day, and there was a banquet to greet each other.

There are all kinds of people who do business among relatives. In addition to some farmers in the countryside, there are more than a dozen or twenty who work in the county town and are quite familiar with the humanities and worldly styles in the county town. Feng Li and Feng Xiaochen found these people together, chatted with them one by one, and inquired about the people and affairs in the county, and soon learned a lot of the information they wanted.

The situation of Tongchuan Agricultural Machinery Factory introduced by relatives is similar to what Yang Haifan said: the technical strength is weak, except for the skill of two or three old workers, the rest of the workers are basically able to cope with it. In fact, the county agricultural machinery factory is originally doing some repairs and repairs, and the requirements for workers' skills are not high, which leads to the current situation.

The director of the agricultural machinery factory is an old man, without much education, and cannot say he has any management skills, and he has no strong background in the county. Feng Xiaochen believes that if he wants to establish a joint venture with the agricultural machinery factory, he doesn't need to talk to him, Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing will transfer the old man away first to avoid him from making trouble.

Feng Xiaochen is also the key to know about Yang Haifan. Four or five relatives knew Yang Haifan, and one worked in the county party committee, who was considered an indirect subordinate of Yang Haifan, and knew a lot about Yang Haifan. These people all said that Yang Haifan was the most knowledgeable young man in the county party committee. His education level after graduating from high school was not low back then. There were several college students in the county, whose level was far inferior to him.

Yang Haifan's character has also been recognized by everyone. Everyone thinks he is a relatively "decent" person, which is a standard that is often used when evaluating character. According to the local people in Tongchuan, Yang Haifan has seen the world in Pujiang, so he would not be petty with people in small places like Tongchuan. There are many adults.

Feng Li and Feng Xiaochen's investigation in Tongchuan County fell into the vision of Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing from the beginning, but they did not interfere, but let it go. After talking to Feng Xiaochen once, Yang Haifan returned to Tongchuan. He told the two leaders that the Feng family members had already tended to run the company to Tongchuan County, and it was reasonable to do some investigation before it was implemented. It is better for the county not to intervene.

During his stay in Tongchuan County, Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan met twice, and the content of the conversation became more in-depth. Yang Haifan gave Feng Xiaochen a more formal policy speech, which made Feng Xiaochen finally make up his mind to promise that the future joint venture could hire Yang Haifan as the Chinese factory director.

Then, Yang Haifan didn't know how to convince Fan Yongkang, and asked Fan Yongkang to agree that if the joint venture was started, Yang Haifan would be appointed as the director of the agricultural machinery factory, and then naturally became the Chinese director of the joint venture. When Yang Haifan mentioned this to Fan Yongkang, he revealed that he was willing to sacrifice for the county's cause. In his words, the people of the Feng family were worried that the Chinese factory director of the Tongchuan school would be insufficient, which affected the operation of the joint venture. After thinking about it, he felt that only by serving as the factory manager himself could meet the requirements of the Feng family. In order to convince the Feng family, he was willing to give up his position as deputy director of the county party committee office and work in the enterprise.

Yang Haifan's statement moved Fan Yongkang quite well. The Agricultural Machinery Factory is a subsidiary of the County Economic Commission, and the factory director is just a department-level cadre. Not only is it impossible to compare with the deputy director of the County Party Committee Office in terms of level, there is also a gap between enterprise cadres and agency cadres. The value of the two is not a small difference.

Yang Haifan is willing to give up the deputy department level of the agency and go to the muddy waters of the joint venture. This spirit is extremely commendable. Fan Yongkang promised Yang Haifan that the county would keep his level. If he does not want to stay in the joint venture, the county would send someone else to replace him and restore him to his current level and treatment. Yang Haifan naturally said a lot of compliments with gratitude and tears for Fan Yongkang's promise.

After straightening out the relationship between Tongchuan, Feng Xiaochen went to Dongshan City and showed up with the DS District Committee and Administrative Office. He composed a story, saying that Feng Weiren had always had a wish before his death, that was, to build a business in his hometown Tongchuan County. After Yan Leqin contacted the children in China, he was determined to fulfill this wish for Feng Weiren, so he had the joint venture. Since it was Feng Weiren's last wish, there was naturally no room for negotiation. Feng Xiaochen repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the Dongshan area for the suggestion that the joint venture was placed in Dongshan City, and then refused.

At this point, Xie Kai and Yu Changrong gave up their efforts, expressed respect for Feng Weiren's last wishes, and supported the establishment of this joint venture in Tongchuan County. In front of Feng Xiaochen, they gave instructions to Fan Yongkang and Xiong Xiaoqing who accompanied Feng Xiaochen to Dongshan City, requiring them to do supporting services, so that foreign businessmen should be at home, invest happily, and make money happily.

It is only the beginning to settle Dongshan area and Tongchuan County. There are still many procedures for the joint venture. First, Feng Hua has to acquire a company in Germany as a shell to protect Feng Xiaochen's investment in China. Secondly, the joint venture still needs to obtain approval from the State Foreign Investment Management Committee, and then go to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to apply for a license before it can be implemented. Although Meng Fanze has promised to help in these matters, it still takes some time to complete the various procedures.

Feng Xiaochen could not stay in Nanjiang and wait for these procedures to be completed. His family leave was only two weeks, but he spent a week in Tongchuan and Dongshan alone. He told Feng Li and Yang Haifan to continue to do various preliminary preparations, and he took the train to return to the capital with his luggage.

"I'm back, how are the family?"

Seeing Feng Xiaochen appearing in front of him, Luo Xiangfei asked him with a smile. Some time ago, Luo Xiangfei had been promoted to the director of the Metallurgical Bureau and was responsible for comprehensive work.

"All of them are pretty good. My parents asked me to bring you some local specialties." Feng Xiaochen said, putting some rice cakes, salted duck eggs and other things brought from home in the corner of Luo Xiangfei's office. These things are not worth much, and they are considered a normal relationship. Luo Xiangfei just said politely and accepted them silently.

The two of them chatted for a few more gossips, and Luo Xiangfei turned to the topic and said:

"Xiao Feng, you came back at the right time. The introduction of the 1780 rolling mill has been handed over to the Metallurgical Design Institute for negotiation. Before they reached a result with the German side, our Metallurgical Bureau did not have much to do. During this period, our main task is to speed up the industrial experiment of the 120-ton electric wheel dump truck. This matter should have been pushed long ago. As soon as various things were delayed, they were put down."

"Is the electric wheel dump truck that Director Wang made in the past?" Feng Xiaochen asked. The Director Wang he was talking about was Wang Weilong. He had heard Wang Weilong talk about the 120-ton dump truck many times.

Large dump trucks are important equipment for open-pit mines. This type of truck requires a large load capacity and can also walk freely under harsh road conditions in the mine. There are two types of driving methods for dump trucks, namely mechanical transmission and electric transmission. Compared with the former, the electric transmission is more flexible in handling, with greater transmission power and stronger reliability. In the electric transmission method, it is divided into two categories: one is to install the drive motor in the rear axle shell of the vehicle, and the other is to install it directly in the wheels. This is the so-called electric wheel dump truck.

The earliest electric wheel structure was born in the 1950s and was invented by Americans. This design incorporates electric motors, speed reduction mechanisms, brake devices, etc. into the wheel hub, eliminating traditional clutch, transmission, main reducer, differential and other components, thereby simplifying the vehicle structure and improving transmission efficiency.

The Luoqiu Metallurgical Machinery Factory in the Central Plains Province where Wang Weilong was located was one of the key enterprises in the metallurgical system. It began to produce and manufacture electric-driven mining equipment in the 1950s. In the late 1960s, Luoye successfully tried to produce the first 45-ton electric wheel dump truck in China and accumulated valuable experience. In the 1970s, with the increase in national ore demand, the mine also put forward new requirements for large-scale mining equipment, and electric wheel dump trucks above 100 tons are one of them.

In the mid-1970s, Luo Ye carried out the development of a 120-ton electric wheel dump truck with the support of several ministries and commissions. Due to the lack of reference technical information and the weak domestic industrial foundation, the hardships in developing this dump truck were unimaginable to outsiders. Just talk about one small aspect: in order to find accessories that can be used on dump trucks, Wang Weilong, the deputy director of the technical department, had to work as a purchasing agent in person, and traveled half of China.

After three years of hard work, the first 120-ton electric wheel dump truck was finally offline, which made Luoqiu's workers and technicians happy. The newspaper also reported this good news in succession, using many sensational expressions such as "zero breakthrough" or "opening a new chapter".
