    It was definitely a mess, but Terenshi was just a puff of thick smoke sprayed into his face. It was definitely impossible to cause any level of disability, and the tears and nose were all left behind.  Even his boss Hoover felt that this staff made him a bit embarrassed.  It¡¯s not like you¡¯re cutting meat with a dull knife, but does it sound like it¡¯s killing a pig?  But the emotional Turnsch looked at Hoover aggrievedly, his face stained with black spots and white spots, which made Hoover very impatient: "Your Excellency, Governor, can you let me, a subordinate, clean up?" "If Special  If Mr. Enshi feels uncomfortable, we can send a car to let you go and rest first! " Song Ziwen felt that if he caught up with such a bad thing, he would probably be blinded. Anyway, he would have lost his face. If he stayed, the Americans would be embarrassed.  Not being Japanese, I can't hide my innocent joy.  Terenshi glanced at Song Ziwen gratefully. A second ago, he felt that all the people in the Republic of China were bad people. Fortunately, he still found a good person with his conscience: "Actually, I don't care too much. Any new thing may have some disturbing things.  It¡¯s an unexpected surprise. But in order not to delay everyone¡¯s interest, I¡¯d better go back first!¡± I was arrogant when I came, but I was disgraced when I went back.  This made the attitude towards the Republic of China less favorable to the Republic of China added a touch of resentment. Fortunately, it was not him who made the decision, but Hoover.  Whether Zeng Yijing invented a racing car engine or a tractor engine, it was the same for the industry of the Republic of China.  Because this was the first engine in the Republic of China that could be used for civilian applications, there were only two criteria for mass production in the Republic of China: price factors and practicality.  Needless to say about the price, this is a very simple engine. The cast iron cylinder is not difficult to process and does not require special precision.  In terms of price, the advantage of this engine suddenly emerged. After mass production, the price will be within 50 yuan.  If simple operating equipment is added, farmland using machinery will achieve incredible speeds during spring plowing.  Wang Xueqian was particularly surprised by this.  He was afraid that his technical staff were all ambitious people.  Why strive to be world-class!  It¡¯s so beautiful that it catches up with the British!  "These ideas were undesirable in the early years of the Republic of China. Although the British were hateful and had committed many misdeeds all over the world, the British's technical reserves were not much worse than those of Germany.  Especially the development researchers, their theories and technologies are world-class.  The technology of the United States cannot be compared with that of the United Kingdom. The United States is strong in its industrial capabilities, not its technological reserves.  Therefore, the types of industries that the Republic of China wanted to develop were simpler. Ease of use was not necessarily the first, but practicality.  In Wang Xueqian's view, both tractors and walking tractors were products that could be promoted in the Republic of China.  It is much more expensive than a cow, which has already set a high threshold for this kind of industrial product. If it really costs several hundred yuan, who would buy it?  In private, Wang Xueqian promised Zeng Yijing: "A bonus of 5,000 yuan will be given to the total number of R&D personnel, and designers will be given heavy rewards." On the contrary, Zeng Yijing felt that he had embarrassed Wang Xueqian, and he felt a little blushing because he did not give RMB 10,000 to the Republic of China Industry.  It¡¯s okay to have a long face, but Wang Xueqian spent such a large sum of money to win over people¡¯s hearts in order to stabilize the enthusiasm of the R&D staff, which made him blush for a while: ¡°Zigao, everyone actually has no idea.  The practicality of the engine is actually not high. It is impossible to use it in a car, and I can't think of any other places where it can be used daily" There is only one reason why the artifact is ignored, and it is opened in the wrong way.  This is the case with the single-cylinder diesel engine. This is an invention that has the impression of changing the times and will become a great symbol of an era.  But if it is just used as an ordinary engine, there will definitely not be much space.  The power of the winch used in industrial mining is too small; the water pump can be used, but it is not cost-effective; used in cars?  The originally high-end industrial products suddenly fell to the level of agricultural machinery.  Therefore, there is only one explanation. Before finding out the true location of this engine, many people will ignore the status of this engine in the Far East.  In the subsequent speech, Wang Xueqian said a lot of good things enthusiastically.  " In the Republic of China, a lot of land was not large flat land. If large-scale agricultural machinery from the United States was used, it would be difficult to cultivate land in China, especially in the south. Here we need a small, simple structure and low cost.  A low-cost engine. This was a great invention that allowed the Republic of China to completely get rid of animal power farming, and it will promote the mechanization of agriculture. And the low price is even more affordable for ordinary people" Song Ziwen whispered to Gu Weijun, who saidI feel a little confused, isn't it that the engine is bad?  Why is it that Wang Xueqian¡¯s words are so complex that he almost says it is a machine specially developed for the Republic of China?  "Paul, couldn't this be a machine that Zigao had known for a long time and developed under his instruction? But why don't Americans think highly of it?" "Brother Shaochuan, I just came to Ningbo, and I still work in Ningbo.  I don¡¯t know much about the research and development of machinery." The meaning of evasion is very strong. Besides, Song Ziwen has no obligation to explain to Gu Weijun how to do it.  The other party is not one of our own!  Song Ziwen is a bit delusional, as if Wang Xueqian is trying to make a fool of himself!  Americans have a very low opinion, which can be seen from their expressions.  In addition, even he himself was not confident that such an engine could usher in the era of industrialization and agricultural mechanization in the Republic of China?  But then, Wang Xueqian¡¯s words made him feel bad.  " Zhejiang is short of farming equipment. I think this engine with a simple fixation mode is a very good agricultural machinery. In order to free people from hard work on the land as soon as possible, it needs to be put into production as soon as possible to solve the people's practical difficulties  "Ningbo Tractor Factory should make preparations within the next three months. Within half a year, it will produce a practical and low-priced tractor to help farmers solve practical difficulties. This will be a good thing for us.  Officials should take it seriously, have a pragmatic work attitude, and devote themselves to this work of benefiting the people. " Ningbo Tractor Factory?  What about the car factory?  Song Ziwen¡¯s first thought was that Wang Xueqian might think that the automobile factory was unreliable, so he switched to tractor manufacturing.  If he hadn't been so familiar with Wang Xueqian, he would have thought that Wang Xueqian was just talking random nonsense.  But Song Ziwen knew very well in his heart that Wang Xueqian was a guy who should not pay attention to things once he had made up his mind.  A person who is stubborn to the core.  Once he decides something, even convincing him is useless, because he will still invest energy to achieve the result.  Most of the time it leaves people speechless because the ending is not what others feared.  If this guy wants to set up a factory, he will definitely set up a factory.  And it is still going big, but what he is worried about is that even if this is a cheap engine, the tractor manufacturing industry is relatively simple, and the assembly workshop does not require a large scale.  ??To sum up: even if it is a waste of money, it will not be a big sum.  But the problem is that we should not boast in front of Americans that the tractor industry of the Republic of China will be booming in Zhejiang within a year.  Because Song Ziwen is not optimistic about the market of this tractor in the Republic of China at all. Yes, he is not optimistic about it.  He has lived in the city since he was a child, but he has also seen farmland and knows the living conditions of farmers.  The price of 100 yuan is not expensive for an industrial product with acceptable maturity, but it is a heavy burden for a family with an agricultural population.  This is not the same thing as cattle. In farmers' families, cattle can be used as the main tool for cultivating the land. At the same time, raising cattle does not actually cost money. Forage is everywhere, and a child can feed the cattle.  Moreover, even if the cattle are old and can no longer plow the land, they are still money. A piece of cowhide can be exchanged for money, and beef can also be sold for money.  Machinery such as tractors are different. Once scrapped, they are just a pile of scrap metal, and even farm tools are disgusting.  After Wang Xueqian finished speaking, he did not know that Song Ziwen, who was highly regarded by him, was somewhat dissatisfied with his decision, and Hoover also began his speech: "Before coming to the East, I did not understand the people of this ancient land.  What a great wisdom we have. It wasn¡¯t until I discovered that many of the necessities in life are the crystallization of Chinese wisdom that I realized that this nation is an amazing nation. The diligence and wisdom of this nation influence the pattern of the world from time to time. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m very fortunate.  Yes, I have the honor to witness that this ancient agricultural country has taken the most powerful step towards an industrial country. This is an extremely exciting moment that will go down in history" The level of Hoover's speech was not bad. He  He was not optimistic about the development prospects of the first civilian internal combustion engine in the Republic of China.  Just saying blindly, wisdom and the like cannot be seen or touched.  After the Americans left, Song Ziwen eagerly found Wang Xueqian, found a secluded place and asked: "Zigao, you just said that about building a tractor factory, you just said it casually!" Wang Xueqian said dissatisfied: "Who said that?" See  Song Ziwen looked nervous, then smiled and said: "Paul, you don't know the potential of this engine. If you can transform the process and make the equipment simpler, there will be greater room for development. The current oil price is very low.  The price of a barrel of diesel is only about 3 US dollars. Think about it, during spring plowing, a tractor that can¡¯t compare with ten cows appears.What kind of sensation will it create in the farmland?  " "But an ordinary family cannot afford a tractor at all, and as you know, the land area of ??homesteaders in Jiangnan is not large.  If it were the landlords who only collected rent, how could they buy a tractor?  "Song Ziwen retorted. "But Wang Xueqian thought much more than these things. The per capita land area in Zhejiang is not large, and farmland is the most labor-intensive and time-consuming time. A large number of farmers are tied to the land and cannot enter the city at all.  . Moreover, manufacturing tractors in the cheapest and most practical direction will completely change the structure of the rural population and directly affect the progress of Zhejiang¡¯s industrialization: ¡°Paul, you still don¡¯t understand the wisdom of the people in our country.  " "Does it matter?  "Song Ziwen thought it was Wang Xueqian's unreasonable trouble. "On the contrary, Wang Xueqian said easily: "If the price of a tractor is controlled within one hundred yuan, after it is equipped with a rotary tiller, the speed does not need to be too fast, it is about the same as a person walking.  The width of the cultivator is about two meters.  You are studying economics. Can you calculate how much land can be cultivated in a day when this tractor is working?  " "Of course the actual work will be slower, so we can handle it by half.  There is no way a cow can keep up with this speed.  ¡± This is an extremely simple mathematical question. According to Wang Xueqian¡¯s settings, this tractor can plow ten acres an hour, which is absolutely unimaginable efficiency. Even if it is halved, it is still five acres of land, and eight people can be plowed a day.  hour, that is 40 acres. It is equivalent to plowing all the paddy fields of a small landowner in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. If spring plowing takes half a month, then this tractor can complete 600 acres in the hands of a skilled worker.  This kind of efficiency may not be possible even if it takes ten cows to do it. With a simple math problem, Wang Xueqian, who has a PhD in economics, feels surprisingly good.  Too soon, smart Zhejiang people will definitely find a way to make a fortune, buy tractors, and then help people cultivate land to make money. In Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there are places where businessmen gather. As long as one person thinks of such a method, tractors will be sold.  The sales volume will definitely not be low. Even if it meets the needs of the entire Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other regions, Wang Xueqian can make this tractor factory popular in East Asia within a few years. Wang Xueqian patted Song Ziwen on the shoulder and joked: "Although the aircraft is  Okay, but the plane is so high-end that it¡¯s impossible for ordinary people to have access to it.  But the tractor is different. It is a down-to-earth industrial product.  Especially for low-power tractors, although their working efficiency cannot be compared with large tractors in the United States, the benefits they generate will not be low.  Especially for the Republic of China, the number of livestock was far from meeting the needs of land cultivation. With tractors, grain production would be greatly increased.  This is a machine that will directly impact the lives of ordinary farmers, and I don't mind using administrative means to support it in the early stages.  After the benefits are produced, it can even become Zhejiang's flagship product exported to Southeast Asia, earning us foreign exchange It will kick off the industrial era in Zhejiang, a day that many people have been looking forward to for many years.  Now it's finally here.  "Well, Song Ziwen felt that he was a little confused. He originally wanted to warn Wang Xueqian that the added value of a mature industrial product must be concentrated. Only in this way can it be accepted by the public. But according to Wang Xueqian's theory this product will become  The epoch-making product can even be exported to Southeast Asia Are they talking about the same product? And in Zhejiang's Guest House, Terenshi continued to slander Zhejiang's industrial level, an engine with only 40 million yuan.  , the speed is astonishingly low, and it has no accepted value at all. It shows that Zhejiang¡¯s industrial level cannot afford to independently develop trucks. In the end, the only thing that will be dragged down is the American automobile industry. This is an outcome that only Mr. Rockefeller would like to see.  ! As an oil overlord, Rockefeller would put great enthusiasm into any product that can consume oil. Terence even waved his arms and looked passionate, hoping that the people who listened to him would be infected by him: "  There is nothing to say, Mr. Clark, it is time for you to make a decision. It is simply impossible for the Republic of China to develop the automobile industry.  Because they can only make that simple engine, and car engines are much more complicated.  It would be a wise decision to refuse their request.  "But Hoover basically didn't speak much all night. He didn't even listen carefully to Turnshi's long speech. Instead, he was thinking. According to Zhejiang's capabilities and Wang Xueqian's vision, Zhejiang does not need technical support from the United States.  How many years will it take to produce the truck yourself? Or ten years?If the Republic of China really has this strength, cooperation is not a bad idea, because the steel production of the Republic of China is already insufficient, and the Han Yeping recovered can only meet part of the demand.  If the Republic of China wanted to develop manufacturing, it had to import a large amount of steel, and American steel was an excellent opportunity to pry open the door of the Republic of China.  Hoover raised his head again, his eyes clear: "Why not!" "Yes! Why I'm sorry, Clark, what did you just say?" Turnsch habitually thought that he had moved Hoover, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes  He almost stared at Hoover, looking at Hoover in astonishment, thinking that he had heard wrong just now.  However, Hoover did not give the staff of Turnsch even the slightest hope. Instead, he solemnly said: "Why don't you agree to the request of the Republic of China?" "No, Clark, you are crazy!" Turnsch was stunned for a moment.  , and then the relationship broke out. He said so much in one night, but Hoover didn't listen to a word. Instead, he made a decision that horrified him.  He believed that the result of this would be that Hoover would completely fall into the abyss on his political path.  And Hoover also had an idea in his mind, whether he should find a qualified staff member after returning to the United States.  Terenshi's vision disappointed him deeply. Didn't he see that the people of the Republic of China were already on the road to industry?  Since you can¡¯t stop it, you might as well push it, and at least you can make a friend.  (To be continued.)
