Chapter 565 Full of Surprises! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
For Wu Aiguo, the hand tractor was easy to get his hands on.

The structure is simple and clear at a glance!
In fact, there was no shortage of tractor factories in China at that time.

However, at this time, domestic tractor factories were greatly influenced by the Russians, and they mainly produced medium and large-sized tractors with steering wheel operation.

Its main selling point is its powerful engine and extremely high work efficiency!
It is especially suitable for cultivation in plains areas!

Of course, the situation is different in the south, where there are either dense water networks or many mountains and forests, making it unsuitable for large and medium-sized tractors to cultivate.

In fact, back in 1958, the diesel engine factory in the capital of Hubei Province imitated foreign hand tractors and manufactured similar products in China.

However, it's likely that foreign hand-held tractors didn't adapt well to the Chinese market, so they weren't widely adopted.

Having a job is great!

Without a letter of introduction from your organization, it would be extremely difficult to find publicly available information like this.

At that time, it was not difficult for the Gulou Repair Shop to obtain these publicly available documents.

Even the various parts used to manufacture hand tractors can be easily obtained.

Although at this time, most of the market share of Beijing's three-wheeled vehicles still belonged to Beijing Motorcycles.

However, the higher authorities still remembered the Gulou Repair Shop.

He wasn't treated like a biological son, but he was at least considered a direct descendant.

As long as the repair shop's requests are not excessive, the superiors will not easily refuse them.

This is the kind of preferential treatment that successful people deserve!
No one can guarantee that the repair shop will still be able to tinker with something as good as a three-wheeled vehicle.

With Wu Aiguo's hand-drawn blueprints and the personal involvement of factory director Wu Zhi, the most important part of the hand tractor, the locomotive, was quickly completed.

It was almost indistinguishable from the hand-held tractors of later generations.

It has a 12-horsepower diesel engine, and the starter rocker is located in front of the engine.

On the right is a rotating flywheel connected to a conveyor belt!

Adding one more seat would allow it to start moving immediately and hit the road.

With a trailer, it can easily carry a ton.

Of course, it's very noisy and vibrates a lot after starting up!

After I finished making this thing, I proactively told Director Chen of the neighborhood committee.

"It's a pity it wasn't the first one produced, otherwise the repair shop would have had a great time showing off!"

Looking at the hand-operated tractors constantly moving back and forth in the factory's open space, Director Chen felt a little regretful.

He was completely stunned when he first heard the news.

What? The repair shop has come up with something new again?

Later, I heard that it was a hand-held tractor, and that the factory in Hubei Province had already produced it, which put my mind at ease.

But after seeing the actual object, his mood became quite pleasant again.

Just by listening to the roar of the engine, you can tell that the power should be stronger than that of a three-wheeled motorcycle.

As Wu Aiguo explained, the main reason for creating this device was to facilitate the transportation of goods outside the city.

"Your factory is outside the city, do you still have business there?"

Director Chen glanced at Wu Aiguo and chuckled, "You're not up to any speculation or profiteering, are you?"

"how is this possible?"

Wu Aiguo categorically denied it, and said helplessly, "The factory is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are coming to eat with it. We can't just eat coarse grain buns with wild vegetables every day, can we?"

"Director Wu also came from a working-class background; he won't agree to it!"

With a helpless expression, Wu Aiguo spread his hands and said dejectedly, "As for logistics, all we need to do is find more vegetables, meat, and eggs!"

Hearing this, Director Chen felt a little embarrassed. In a planned economy, the most important element is naturally planning.

To reiterate, the Gulou Repair Factory was not part of the industrial department's plan; it was a factory set up by the street office to provide employment for eligible young people.

Normally, if the repair shop were not large, it could barely survive on the surplus resources available to the local government.

The problem is, the repair shops have developed too well.

Despite the dilapidated state of the factory area and buildings at the time, its revenue-generating capacity was quite impressive.

Otherwise, even if you gave Wuzhi Factory a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to start the construction of a new factory area and all the necessary supporting facilities.

As the number of workers and various staff increases, the limited resources available to the local government are far from sufficient.

However, the annual plan has already been drawn up, and it is impossible to make temporary changes just because of the repair shop.

The neighborhood committee facilitated the repair shop's purchase of sufficient living supplies by communicating with higher-level and relevant departments.

Of course, the time will end at the end of the year.

However, sometimes, once the cracks are opened, it's not so easy to close them again.

Unless, the repair shop is receiving special 'attention'.

However, factories all have their own purchasing departments, and the government allows these departments to purchase additional materials to supplement planned material shortages.

"Of course, my son and I also have some selfish motives!"

Wu Aiguo changed the subject with a grin and said, "We've made a name for ourselves, so we should give back to our hometown in some way!"

"Normally, the factory can directly purchase mountain products from my hometown, as well as things like cabbage and radishes grown in the fields, which helps to fill the pockets of my fellow villagers!"

"You little rascal, you're so mature for your age!"

Director Chen was somewhat moved, but he didn't mean to blame anyone.

Well, buying mountain products, vegetables, and fruits from my hometown isn't exactly out of line.

"Was this the idea behind the three-wheeled vehicles you created before?"

He wasn't stupid; he quickly realized what was happening.

"Yes, you know the result!"

Wu Aiguo was a little embarrassed and said dejectedly, "Who knew that three-wheeled vehicles couldn't leave the city? We'll just have to think of another way!"

"Is this hand-held tractor even capable of navigating the terrible roads outside the city?"

Director Chen was skeptical; no matter how you looked at it, it was only slightly better than a three-wheeled vehicle.

"Just try it and you'll see!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Perfect! Let the factory's logistics department accompany the truck. If we can successfully reach the village outside the city, that would be the best!"

"Then I'll go with them and take a look, is that alright?"

Director Chen became interested and had other ideas in mind.

"There's definitely no problem. I'm just worried that you might not be able to handle the bumpy ride, Director Chen!"

Wu Aiguo said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "This thing has a really bad riding experience!"

"Look at what you're saying. Back when we were doing the revolution, conditions were much worse than they are now, but we still managed to get through it, didn't we?"

Director Chen didn't take it to heart, and was even a little annoyed at being looked down upon.

Wu Aiguo smiled but remained silent. In any case, he had already given a warning. As for whether Director Chen ended up vomiting up his dinner from the night before due to the jolting, that was none of his business.

The next test was a success!

Of course, it would be even more pleasing to the eye if Director Chen's face, which was almost deathly pale from vomiting, wasn't among the testers.
