Chapter 742 Who can’t tell the difference?
Liu Muhan's unexpected words left Li Ye speechless.
[I said aunt, we are only a generation apart! Please don't tell me what's on your mind, okay? 】
But just when Li Ye didn't know how to answer the call, Xiao Zhu from the technical department ran over panting.
"Li Ye Li Ye, are you still talking about the mountains? Go over there and have a look! The Jinling factory has come to visit, and everyone is comparing their new cars with our 136! ”
"What does it mean to come to your door?" Li Ye said with a smile: "We are all companies under the First Machinery Ministry. We can come to give gifts, but others can't come to announce the good news?"
Jinling Automobile Manufacturing Plant 53 It was under the management of the First Machinery Department in 2008. In 1958, the NJ130 car was copied based on Maozi's GAZ car. This year, a new type of NJ131 was developed. I must come to announce the good news to my parents' family and earn some praise, right?
But Xiao Zhu swallowed his saliva and said: "No, Li Ye, go and have a look! They made a matryoshka doll this time, and the little one is for our new car."< br>
“.”
Li Ye was a little confused, so he followed Xiao Zhu to the truck area where the report meeting was held.
Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye, smiled and raised his leg to follow.
After Li Ye arrived at the place, he immediately understood what Xiao Zhu meant by "matryoshka dolls".
I saw a few blue Yuejin trucks lined up neatly. At first glance, they looked like the same vehicle, but when I took a closer look, I found that the height of the chassis was slightly different.
The one with a high chassis has twenty-inch wheels, and the one with a short chassis has sixteen-inch wheels. Other than that, both the cab and the cabin are exactly the same.
Lao Qiu from the technical department, Director Lu from the factory office, Guan Liang and others were all looking carefully around the car with sixteen-inch wheels. Everyone's expressions were not so good-looking.
Xiao Zhu explained to Li Ye in a low voice: "Originally, our 136 car has a load capacity of two tons, and Jinling's 131 car has a load capacity of three tons. Everyone does their own thing, but now they have changed the wheel, and it is also called 136. This Are you planning to compete with us?”
Li Ye had only heard of the name Yuejin 1041 in his previous life, but he didn’t know there was a model called 136.
He said noncommittally: "Let's just fight in the ring! Isn't it said above? Only with competition can we make progress. Now we are encouraged to compete!"
Xiao Zhu glanced at Li Ye , said unconvinced: "Fair We are not afraid of competition, but what are they doing?
The driver bought the 136, paid two tons of road maintenance fees, and then replaced it with a set of twenty-inch wheels, doing three tons of work? Are you willing to buy our car? ”
"Huh? What you said makes sense!"
Li Ye finally understood why Xiao Zhu and others were angry.
Before 2009, all cars in the mainland were required to pay road maintenance fees. This fee was paid monthly and per ton.
With a load of three tons, you will have to pay three tons of road maintenance fees every month. If you have a load of two tons, you will naturally have to pay two tons of road maintenance fees.
Now Jinling has a modular design, which not only saves development costs, but also leaves some space for users.
Don't look at the difference of a ton, but it adds up to a lot of money over the years!
Li Ye asked in a deep voice: "Have you taken a closer look, are they exactly the same inside?"
Xiao Zhu said unconvinced and angrily: "I can't say that they are exactly the same, but they are obviously not consistent. With a load capacity of two tons, their car can bear not just two tons, but three or five tons.”
The product ideas of Jinling Automobile Manufacturing Factory have always been adhering to Maozi’s style. Let’s just talk about their NJ130. It’s not like a light truck at all, but more like a medium-sized truck.
The new NJ131 is also “sturdier” than similar products. In terms of overload, it is indeed better than Li New cars from wild units have more advantages.
Li Ye nodded slowly: "This kind of thing is inevitable, and there may be more and more in the future."
Xiao Zhu said in surprise: "There will be more and more in the future? Then the public security side will not care about it. ?”
“Huh~”
Li Ye smiled.
Although what Xiao Zhu said was very reasonable, Li Ye knew that before the road maintenance fee was abolished, not only could this kind of thing not be stopped at all, but it would also get worse.
The reason is that with the development of social economy, the automobile manufacturing industry will completely transform from a seller's market to a home-buying market.
In the past, there was no need to worry about selling the Jiefang and Jingcheng 130. Many small units wanted to buy a new car, but they had to ask their grandparents for quotas.
But from now on, the boss is the one who buys cars. I will buy whose car can help me get greater profits. If you can’t satisfy your customers, you will be punished. Market elimination!
At this time, Liu Muhan came over and whispered: "Eldest nephew, the situation in your unit looks very serious."
Li Ye said nonchalantly: "It's not that exaggerated. The mainland market is still huge. Let alone two of us competing, even if three or five car manufacturers compete together, it will not be unable to accommodate it.”
Liu Muhan said with a smile: "But your company has no money! Your light vehicle company has been unable to implement the production base in Shunyi. You don't know, right?"
Li Ye glanced at Liu Muhan and asked with a faint smile. : "You know so many things."
Liu Muhan said proudly: "Of course, the introduction of Isuzu's technology is also related to our unit. As one of the three companies One of the technology digestion units, of course we will pay attention. I have to remind you that your unit is the weakest among the three. "
Of course, Li Ye knew that his own unit was the weakest. After all, according to the original historical trajectory, the other two companies, Jiangling and Qingling, had been living well, but the light automobile company under the emperor was finally merged.
. . . . . . . . .
At ten o'clock, the sun slowly climbed into the sky. The empty exhibition site finally became warmer, and leaders at all levels finally appeared. The originally deserted exhibition site immediately became lively.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the scene at this moment is like a pasture on the grassland. A few sheep are walking slowly in front, followed by a group of large sheep and small sheep.
The whole flock has a strict hierarchical system. The little sheep really want to squeeze in next to the leader sheep and show their faces, but it is not easy for the big sheep to show their faces. It will never be the little sheep's turn.
Li Ye is just a little sheep, following Lao Qiu and Director Lu, and in front are the factory director, deputy manager Ma and so on.
Deputy Manager Ma is considered a big sheep, but in front of him is the Cherokee group. They are rich and have outstanding achievements, occupying almost all the famous positions.
“This is the BJ136, the new product of China Light Automobile Company this year. It integrates the advanced technology of Isuzu and has independently innovated thirteen patents, filling the domestic gap.”
Yangqun finally When they arrived at the light automobile company's product exhibition area, Deputy Manager Ma and others finally showed their faces in front, but after only a few words, they went to other units.
Li Ye once again deeply understood the meaning of "small unit".
Why do light truck companies have no money? Isn’t it just because it’s “small”?
If it is in the following fourth- and fifth-tier cities, units with thousands of people will definitely receive great attention. If they need land and loans, they will receive strong local support.
But it won’t be your turn for a while in the capital.
According to the historical trajectory of the original time and space, it was not until October 1987 that three prototypes of the new car BJ136 were trial-produced.
It then underwent many improvements until it was renamed BJ1041 in 1989. After that, small batch production began.
This is still under the condition of absorbing "part of the technology".
You must know that whether it is to directly domestically produce the Isuzu N series or gradually domestically produce it through CKD assembly, a large amount of funds will be required. The original light automobile company did not have sufficient financial resources.
After the Light Vehicle Company reported the establishment of the Seventh Five-Year Plan project, it waited for three years before acquiring land for expansion in Shunyi.
So under this premise, although it clearly has a complete set of Isuzu's technical drawings, BJ1041 only changed the cab and the parts that were within its capabilities. This is actually a helpless move.
JMC, on the other hand, not only introduced a complete set of cab molds, welding fixtures, test lines and some key equipment from Isuzu through a combination of technology and trade, but also raised hundreds of millions of yuan by itself
The funds were used to accelerate technological transformation, build a number of modern workshops and production lines, and form comprehensive capabilities for large-scale production, enabling the company to achieve pioneering development.
Many years later, when the old people of the light truck company mentioned this incident, they were all sighing. If Isuzu light trucks had been completely used at that time, perhaps the history of this unit would have been completely rewritten.
However, history can be rewritten only if bugs like Li Ye appear.
Li Ye could provide enough funds now to expand a new factory and production line, but he did not.
He only invested part of the funds to slightly speed up the research and development process of the BJ136, but if he wanted to acquire land and expand it, it was another story.
The light truck company has three shareholders. The major shareholder has too much burden and does not have any money, but it also has most of the management rights. So if your money is not available, why should my money come first?
After the leader took everyone to visit all the new products, it was almost noon. They first had lunch, and then went to the auditorium for each unit to report results. The dull and lengthy report made Li Ye, who was in the last row, faint. Drowsy.
It was not until after four o'clock in the afternoon that everyone became energetic again.
It’s time for dinner!
But Li Ye had no intention of going to dinner with everyone. He told Lu Zhizhang, director of the factory office, and planned to leave quietly.
But as luck would have it, Guan Liang saw him again.
"Li Ye, aren't you responsible for sending Section Chief Park and Director Han to a dinner party? I have to tell you something! Don't drive when you drink, don't drink when driving, don't drink later, and send the leaders off safely. Go home.”
I’ll send your sister off!
Li Ye said directly: "I'm going to pick up my wife from get off work. If I don't have time, Director Lu will arrange for them to take a bus."
Guan Liang was stunned and said seriously: "Li Ye , your attitude is unacceptable! Work is more important than home. Court is important? Why can't you tell the difference?"
Li Ye glanced at Guan Liang coldly and said with a smile: "I bought this car just to pick up my wife. Don’t know the seriousness? Is there something wrong with your mind?”
"."
Guan Liang was stunned by Li Ye. By the time he reacted, Li Ye had already left in a hurry.
So he angrily went to Lu Zhizhang to complain.
But Lu Zhizhang said meaningfully: "Li Ye can still tell who is less important and who is more important."
Guan Liang: "."
Is it me who can’t tell the difference?
