Ding Beifeng left several companies in Chongqing to his most trusted Ding Zilin, and he took Mr. Ding, his wife and children north to Shanxi to continue to help Jiangdong develop his career.

After arriving in Jincheng, Jiang Dong handed over the newly established Fuxing Chamber of Commerce to him.

From now on, commercial matters will be decided by the Chamber of Commerce, and the Administrative Office will perform full-time government functions.

Jiangdong's goal is to build the Fuxing Chamber of Commerce into a huge business empire. In addition to operating daily necessities produced by various factories, he also wants to expand the tobacco business and develop arms trade and medical industries.

In the future, the Fuxing Chamber of Commerce will also be involved in various fields such as petroleum, steel, and minerals.

The army, administrative office, and chamber of commerce each perform their respective functions, like a troika, pushing Jiangdong to a higher level.

November 22, a sunny day, was the day when the first batch of tractors came off the assembly line.

Jiang Dong took the main persons in charge of the three systems by car to the tractor factory. In the car, Jiang Dong said to Ding Beifeng beside him:

"I just thought about it. The tractor factory's production capacity this year should only be able to meet our own needs. Next year, there should be excess output for export. The Fuxing Chamber of Commerce must prepare these things in advance. After the off-line ceremony, the eldest brother and the field

Let’s chat with the businessmen who come here to see if they have any intention in this regard.”

Ding Beifeng gently pressed the blindfold on his blind eye with one finger, and nodded slightly after listening to Jiang Dong's words.

Shanxi's development surprised him, and he was once again shocked by Jiangdong's ability.

In less than two years, Jiangdong not only made great achievements in the military, but also became the first in the country in terms of people's livelihood and industry.

Ding Beifeng has been in Jincheng for less than a week. He did not immediately invest in the work of the Chamber of Commerce, but was seizing the time to understand all aspects of Jincheng.

Ahead, the huge smoke column of the industrial area was clearly visible, and the rising white smoke made Jiang Dong feel extremely happy.

The main purpose of Jiangdong's establishment of a tractor factory is to accumulate production experience for the future production of its own trucks and tanks.

Jiang Dong named the batch of tractors produced by the tractor factory Dongfeng brand tractors. This name was randomly selected by him from a large number of names.

The Dongfeng tractor engine was independently developed and designed by professors from the Academy of Military Sciences with reference to the engine samples provided by Jiangdong.

Jiangdong was very satisfied that the Academy of Military Science had reached this point. He not only credited all the professors who participated in the project, but also gave each person 500 yuan. At the same time, he encouraged the professors to continue their efforts and march into truck engines, tank engines and aerospace engines.

With the completion of various industrial factories, the space for professors of the Academy of Military Sciences will be broader.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces!

Jiangdong discovers talents, protects talents, and uses all means to stimulate their research potential.

At present, the Academy of Sciences has established more than a dozen research institutes, and the projects being studied include more than a dozen aspects such as military industry and civilian applications.

The importance of scientific research institutes is becoming increasingly apparent.

Jiang Dong was thinking about these things in his mind, looking at the tall smoke column with a smile on his lips.

Hundreds of people have gathered at the entrance of the tractor factory, including representatives of foreign military experts such as Khachanov, Popov, and Felix, as well as our own skilled workers from southeastern Shanxi, and business representatives from Shanxi and surrounding provinces.

Of course, reporters who like to join in the fun will not be absent. They carry "long guns and short cannons". When they saw Jiangdong's motorcade arriving, they rushed forward in a swarm.

Before the car came to a stop, the soldiers from the Internal Guard jumped out of the car and built a human wall around Jiangdong and the top military and political officials.

"Kakaka..."

The spotlights were flashing and reporters were chattering with questions.

Although they also knew that it was unlikely that Jiangdong and other senior executives would be interviewed by them now, their enthusiasm for asking questions was still high.

Jiang Dong and Ding Beifeng rode in a car, followed by Wang Xueqin, Xie Chengrui, Wang Liangrenguang, Fan Zhuxian and others.

After getting off the car, Jiang Dong first smiled and said hello to the people around him. He did not stop in front of Chinese and foreign reporters, but led a group of people straight into the gate of the tractor factory.

There are two tractors rolling off the assembly line today, one wheeled and one tracked.

The two tractors looked like big girls waiting to get married, covered with red cloth, attracting the curious eyes of countless people.

Standing next to the tractor were the factory director, technical workers and two drivers.

Jiang Dong shook hands with everyone in the factory enthusiastically, saying words of encouragement such as hard work and meritorious service.

The workers blushed and excitedly promised Jiangdong that they would produce more and better tractors in the future.

Popov, Felix and others had seen factories dozens of times larger than this small tractor factory, but at this moment they were surrounded by Chinese people who were almost trembling with excitement. Infected by the emotions around them, their hearts

There were also ripples one after another.

Especially the little old man Popov from the Soviet Union, he happily hugged the Chinese around him and spoke in Maozi language that no one could understand.

His mouth and cheeks were all covered with fluffy beard, making him look like a happy furry bear.

"Click!"

Journalists from the Soviet Union recorded the happy scene of the old furry bear, which will be their best example of promoting Sino-Soviet friendly relations.

After a simple greeting, the offline ceremony officially began.

Jiang Dong and the top military and political leaders took off the red cloth covering the tractor, just like the hijab of some new girls.

Since Lao Maozi helped build the production line, the tractors produced are also in Maozi style, with a rather rough and simple appearance.

After seeing the true appearance of the tractor, Felix shook his head and felt that the Chinese people had never seen the world and organized such a big ceremony for such a crude thing.

The Soviets and Germans were helping Jiangdong develop at the same time, and the skilled workers from the two countries would occasionally compare themselves.

Both sides believe that the other side's products cannot be put on the market, and that what they create is the best.

They even require Chinese apprentices to stay in the same camp as them.

Jiang Dong just laughed after hearing such a report. He did not make any intervention. Competition and comparison are the best.

"Come on, come on, drive up and let everyone have a good look!"

In the excited crowd, Jiang Dong's emotions were also ignited, and he waved his hands and said loudly.

The two drivers were a little nervous. They had practiced the tractor driving movements more than a hundred times, but they seemed extremely stiff every time they did it.

Under the nervous gaze of the director of the tractor factory, the two tractors finally started to move slowly.

"Pa bang bang..."

The workers' emotions were completely ignited at this moment. Everyone kept clapping their hands, and some even shed tears.

Two Dongfeng tractors puffed out black smoke and slowly drove out of the factory gate. Wherever they passed, there were crowds of people, cheers and applause.

"It should have been like this when the first Jiefang brand car rolled off the assembly line!"

Jiang Dong put his hands behind his hands and looked at the jubilant crowd, thinking with some emotion in his heart.

When the Dongfeng tractor rolled off the production line, he saw the Jincheng workers working together, and their enthusiasm and enthusiasm were so high.

With such a group of passionate workers, the day is not far away when we can independently build cars and tanks.

The rolling off the assembly line of Dongfeng tractors is a symbol of the gradual maturity of industrial manufacturing and of Southeast Shanxi taking the lead in embarking on the road of industrial development before other parts of the country.

On a whim, Jiang Dong jumped on the crawler tractor and drove it around himself.

Although the appearance of the tractor does not look good, its internal performance is excellent.

With tractors, people's farmland and transportation efficiency will be greatly improved in the future, and agriculture will also usher in a new stage of development.

"Old Wang." Jiang Dong raised his voice and said to Wang Xueqin beside him:

"Now the work on the tractor factory is coming to an end. After the work here is finished, let the Soviet experts help us build another agricultural machinery factory.

Tractors must be coordinated with agricultural equipment to achieve maximum effectiveness.

The Administrative Office must start promoting the mechanization and modernization of agriculture!"

The sound was so noisy that Wang Xueqin had to hold her ear with one hand to hear Jiang Dong's words clearly.

"Mechanization? Modernization?"

These are two unfamiliar words to Wang Xueqin. Fortunately, he has a secretary by his side at all times, and the secretary will write down Jiang Dong's words verbatim.

These questions that you don’t understand need to wait until the ceremony is over before you can go to a professional to ask them.

"You must accumulate production experience seriously and constantly innovate and make corrections. I will still count on you to build tanks and trucks in the future!"

Jiangdong patted the young tractor factory director on the shoulder and said.

After the offline ceremony, Jiangdong asked Wang Xueqin and other senior civil affairs officials to stay to contact the Soviets and businessmen, and he hurriedly left with people from the army.
Chapter completed!
