Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 135 Graduation Project

Wen Qing is responsible for the design of the oil pressure switch. Everyone gets together every three days to discuss the progress of the project. If they encounter a problem that they cannot solve, they can notify everyone to come and discuss it at any time.

After the direction was clear, everyone worked very quickly and completed the design work by the end of November. It took another week to summarize the work. At the last group meeting, everyone reviewed the design drawings again.

Wen Qing received the completed design drawings and felt that her classmates were very helpful. Basically, the completed automobile lubrication system was not much different from that of later generations.

In early December, they handed the design draft to Director Xu, who found automotive experts and asked them to review the design. The experts raised some questions.

Wen Qing conveyed the opinions to everyone and made some revisions. By the end of December, the final design draft was formed.

Wen Qing invited her group members to Donglaishun to eat mutton hotpot and congratulated everyone on completing their graduation project.

During this period, she went to Director Li to get an evaluation letter for the pressure filling equipment and began to write her graduation report. Everything went smoothly.

Director Xu already knew her design, and now the product has begun production. For an undergraduate student, this is enough to prove the point.

Wen Qing spent a week writing the report, mainly sorting out the format and wording of the report. After it was finished, she gave it to Director Xu for review.

One day, Director Li of the school-run factory notified her to go to the factory. After asking, she found out that the filling equipment in the factory had already achieved mass production. When Director Li saw her, he said happily: "Xiao Wen, come and take a look."

I took Wen Qing to the workshop, where technicians were doing tests.

Place the glass bottles on the platform, and the rinsing head will automatically fill with water for rinsing, pouring, and drying. These steps are all automated. The cleaned glass bottles are automatically transferred to the liquid injection head, and the filling nozzle is accurately inserted into the bottle to fill it according to the set capacity.

After being filled with liquid, the bottles are conveyed to the capping area, where the bottle caps are accurately placed on the bottle mouths. The bottles are then conveyed to the packaging area by a conveyor belt, where the bottles are placed one by one on corrugated box boards. When six bottles are filled, the machine folds the corrugated boxes and automatically packs them. Finally, the workers take the cartons down and place them on a cart.

Wen Qing saw that the machine was running very smoothly. The technicians of the school-run factory supplemented and improved the canning production line. Now this production line is more powerful and more efficient than the one Wen Qing designed. She secretly admired it and asked Director Li: "How many bottles can this machine fill per hour?"

"It can can 3000 bottles. There are five sizes to choose from. It can also be connected to a capping machine."

"Our factory is really amazing. They produced it so quickly."

When asked about production, Director Li said, "10 sets per month is not a problem, but I don't know who to sell them to. I would like you to think of a solution."

Wen Qing said: "Manufacturers of beverages, soy sauces, and wine all need it. We can look for the manufacturer's address on the product packaging, send them the product instructions, or call them. They should all need efficient canning equipment."

The entire process saves time and labor, is very efficient, and is more hygienic.

Another idea came up: "Report to the Ministry of Industry and try to get this equipment included in the technical transformation catalog. In the future, when manufacturers want to do technical transformation, they can look for equipment in the catalog and use our machines.

However, this process may take some time, so we can print a batch of brochures and send them to the relevant manufacturers first.”

He also suggested: "There is a sugar and wine trade fair every year, and it seems that there are also equipment manufacturers participating in the fair. We can also participate."

Wen Qing also wants Changxia Distillery to participate in the National Sugar and Wine Trade Fair and the Famous and High-quality Liquor Selection Conference. The Sugar and Wine Fair is held once a year, and the famous and high-quality liquor selection conference is held every five years. The next one will be in three years, so time is very tight.

Wen Qing’s most urgent task is to improve the quality of Changxia liquor and strive to have a higher starting point.

Back in Erxia Village, Wang Jianguo is brewing light-fragrance liquor in the new distillery. Light-fragrance liquor is fermented in earthen jars and does not require cellar maintenance. The process is simpler than that of strong-fragrance liquor.

The new winery has 100 earthen jars, each of which can hold 1000 kilograms of distiller's grains.

In between brewing strong-aroma liquor, they brew light-aroma liquor. They have used 70 earthen jars and now have 30 left.

Wen Qing asked: "Jianguo, how many cylinders are you making today?"

"Make a three-cylinder."

Wen Qing went to the wine cellar and exchanged the wine jars in the space with the wine jars in the warehouse. The time flows faster in the space, which can make the wine mature faster.

She also asked Jin Zicong about the recent liquor inventory and checked the accounts.

After getting the voucher, she went back to her room to do the accounting of the winery. She was busy until the evening before she finished the accounting of last month. After all, she was not a professional, so she still had to find an accountant.

In general, Changxia Winery's business is relatively stable. It is self-sufficient in grain and makes money from selling wine. Its customers are mainly concentrated in Pingjing, and its outside customers mainly include Zhao Wei from Nankun and a few people from Ping'an County.

The inventory consists of raw materials and wine. There is basically no accounts receivable. The expenses are only the expenditure on purchasing grain, workers' wages, water and electricity for the winery, and taxes.

She did not record any depreciation of factory equipment, and now she does not have any five social insurances and one housing fund.

Looking at the ever-increasing inventory, Wen Qing felt a little worried. As the winery expands production, the market must also expand accordingly, otherwise products will be piled up and production will be difficult to continue.

As usual, she practiced until midnight before going to bed. Wen Qing had practiced the five meridians very well, but the true Qi in the meridians was not yet abundant. She was not in a hurry and took it slowly.

During this period, Wen Qing heard that Gao Min was going to study in the United States, but she didn't know which path she would take.

Wen Qing thought of the photos in her camera and found time to go to the photo studio in town to have them developed. Her grades were clearly shown. Regardless of whether Gao Min was sent by the government or paid for herself, her grades were too poor.

Before New Year's Day, Director Xu invited several experts to review their graduation projects, and the result was of course passed.

Wen Qing gathered the classmates and told them the good news. Chen Rui was very happy: "The department said our design can be used?" Wen Qing nodded, and Wei Xiangyang said: "I really want to see our design officially put into production."

Cao Xinmin said: "It would be best if you were assigned to a car factory after graduation and started production on your own."

Wen Qing said, "My graduation project does not include this project. You should write the report quickly. Time is very tight."

Her graduation project was finished, but she wasn't going to waste time.

The Schindler Bicycle Factory currently produces the mountain bikes she designed, and she plans to design a lightweight urban bicycle to replace the original ordinary bicycles and form a complete production line together with the mountain bikes.

She went to the library, looked up some information, combined with her knowledge of bicycles, and began to draw. At 5 pm, she stood up, stretched, and relaxed her tense back.

At this time, a classmate stood up and walked over to say, "Wen Qing, you are also in the library? I saw you drawing. What design are you going to make?"

It was Wang Zitao from their practice group. He added, "I saw Li Xiangyang in the library too."

As he was talking, Li Xiangyang came over from the other side of the library, "Wen Qing, Zitao, let's go eat together."

The three of them went to the cafeteria, bought food, and sat together. Wen Qing asked, "Have you finished your design?"

Both said, “Writing a report.”

The automotive lubrication system they designed is composed of multiple parts, and each of them chose a point to write as their graduation report.
