Chapter 1800
Longjiang 001 Model Engine
Wu Dong scratched his head, frowned, and didn't say anything. Instead, he walked to the door and took the two ginseng buns to the coffee table.
Untying the straw rope on one of them, a five-leaf ginseng with ginseng seedlings was revealed to Wu Dong and his wife.
Upon seeing the ginseng root lying in the moss, Qiao Yutong couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow, this ginseng is so beautiful! It looks just like a little person. It's really amazing. Xiao An is so thoughtful."
Wu Dong smiled smugly and said:
"Absolutely. The things my brother gave me have never been defective before. I dare say that even my grandfather didn't have many things this good."
Qiao Yutong stared intently at the fifth-grade ginseng seedling and replied:
"Yes, I feel that none of the ginsengs that my grandfather treasures are as beautiful as this one."
From the conversation between the two, it's clear that not only is Wu Dong's family background very prominent, but Qiao Yutong's family is also extraordinary.
Most importantly, although they don't know how to dig for ginseng in the mountains, they have a deep understanding of ginseng and must have seen a lot of wild ginseng.
After discussing the ginseng seedling for a while, Wu Dong finally opened the second ginseng bun.
This is a ginseng that has undergone a transformation. Only half of the main root remains, but the largest jujube-shaped root on top has turned yellowish, and the veins are very clear.
Furthermore, the tendrils of the jujube-root ginseng are covered with dense, pearly bumps, which clearly indicates that this ginseng seedling is very old. If it weren't for the severe damage to the main root making it impossible to tell its age, this ginseng seedling would definitely have grown into a six-leaf ginseng.
Qiao Yutong looked at the ginseng seedling and praised it:
"This ginseng is also good. Although the main root is damaged and there are too many stems, this ginseng is definitely quite old."
Wu Dong suddenly shook his head and said:
"That kid Xiao An, he's always causing trouble. He just sent me two such good ginseng roots without warning. I don't even know what to give him in return."
Qiao Yutong pointed to a pile of medicinal liquor bottles on the coffee table and said:
"You also asked Xiao An for a bunch of medicinal wine."
Wu Dong stared at the bottles filled with various medicinal wines, lost in thought.
After leaving Wu Dong's house, Wang An drove straight to the motorcycle shop.
There was no other way; Wang An had always been in charge of the motorcycle business. In the past month, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang had only lent a hand occasionally and hadn't been involved in any of the daily operations. So it was definitely not acceptable for Wang An to leave things unattended.
When Wang An arrived at the motorcycle shop, he felt that the shop was no different from a month ago, and everything was operating normally.
The only difference is that after entering October, the weather gradually turns cold, and motorcycle sales enter the off-season, with only two or three customers looking at motorcycles in the entire store.
After reviewing the sales records, sales ledgers, personnel expense ledgers, and after-sales maintenance and repair records, and briefly inquiring about the store's situation over the past month with the store manager, Huang Yufang, and finding everything to be normal and without any problems, Wang An drove to the motorcycle factory.
Compared to motorcycle shops, Wang An was clearly more concerned about motorcycle factories.
Only when motorcycle manufacturers' imitation technology becomes more and more advanced will the profits from motorcycles increase.
To Wang An's surprise, in just over a month, the experienced craftsmen and engine engineers actually made a breakthrough. They successfully copied the "Longjiang 001" motorcycle engine.
Not only can it start and run normally, but its power output is also about 80% of that of imported engines.
Currently, engineers and technicians are testing the engine's stability and lifespan.
The so-called stability test involves installing several replica engines on different motorcycles, then having a group of people ride each motorcycle to conduct various tests and record the relevant data.
The life cycle test involves connecting an engine to a fuel tank, starting the engine, and keeping it running continuously to see how long the engine can run continuously before problems or cylinder scoring occur.
Once these tests are completed, and the engine's shortcomings are optimized as much as possible, the Longjiang 001 engine can be mass-produced and installed on motorcycles.
This news was truly a source of great joy for Wang An.
Although the engine was a copy, its power output was not up to standard, and it had various problems that needed to be solved, Wang An was still very happy, extremely happy.
Because this is a symbol, a symbol that Longjiang Motorcycles is about to rise completely.
There's no other way. A manufacturing company must fully master core technologies. If it can't even manufacture engines, how can it talk about occupying half of the Chinese motorcycle market?
After learning about the Longjiang 001 engine, Wang An immediately decided to reward the engineers and technicians who researched and copied the engine.
So Wang An immediately waved his hand and ordered the finance department to prepare a large amount of cash.
Then, he instructed the finance department to notify all the engineers and technicians to attend a temporary meeting at the factory, where Wang An would distribute their pay on the spot.
That's right, it's handing out money on the spot, because only by handing out money in this way can people feel excited and satisfied.
In Wang An's view, there was no need to say anything extra to these taciturn engineers and technicians. Just handing them the money was more effective than a thousand words.
Wang An was standing on one side of the middle of the factory building, next to a table. On the table were two bundles of 1 yuan each, totaling 2 yuan.
It has to be said that the sheer amount of money on display was quite visually striking.
The engineers and technicians, who had been notified one by one by the finance department, walked to the middle of the factory and stood opposite Wang An with blank expressions, having no idea why this young shareholder wanted to hold an emergency meeting.
Once everyone had arrived, Wang An didn't waste any time and called out with a smile:
"I called everyone here for one thing: to give out money, bonuses. The reason for this is that our motorcycle factory has made a breakthrough in engine research and development. The Longjiang 001 model motorcycle engine is no longer just a name, hahaha."
After Wang An finished speaking, he looked at the engineers and technicians with a big smile, because he thought that they would applaud him to show their happiness, after all, this was a paycheck!
However, after Wang An finished speaking, he found that all he could see were the blank faces of the engineers and technicians. Many of them hadn't even heard what he said and were clearly lost in thought. He wondered what they were thinking.
Wang An gave an awkward laugh and said:
"Um, shouldn't everyone clap and celebrate?" (End of Chapter)
