Chapter 172 Turmoil arises, jealousy is human nature
The popularity of Capital Automobile Factory’s new BJ212 has caused unplanned models to be strongly sought after.
Other manufacturers are naturally a little jealous.
“Director Liu, the unplanned automobile steel plates purchased from us by the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant are already 50/50 of the planned amount.”
“But we provided it before. The prices have not changed. Do we need to adjust this situation? ”
As the director of Shougang, Zhou Gang must be a little envious of the prosperous performance of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
We are all one of the first eight pilot manufacturers in the capital region. If Shougang's performance is much worse than that of its opponent, then he will be under great pressure.
You know, Shougang has made a lot of changes in order to cope with the pilot, and it has also made a guarantee with the Ministry of Metallurgy.
"Zhou Factory, the situation at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory is a bit special. Chief Engineer Zuo specially told me before to maintain a stable supply to them."
"We The technology source of the high-strength automobile steel plates currently produced is also inseparable from the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.”
"So if we see that their new cars are selling well, it seems a little inappropriate to raise their prices. Chief Engineer Zuo is worried that it will affect the research and development of our new generation of automotive steel plates."
Liu Wenfei is naturally a little jealous of Capital Motors. The excess profits earned by the manufacturing plant.
Currently, most of the raw materials and parts purchased by the other party are based on the planned price.
However, half of the other party's new BJ212s were not deployed as planned, but were sold to some customers at a higher price.
In this way, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant will definitely gain a lot more benefits.
Although the factories at this time were all owned by the state, they made more or less money and had a relatively low relationship with ordinary employees.
But now that Shougang has begun reforms, the situation will definitely become different.
“If the production scale of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant continues to increase, then it would be unfair for us to continue to use the planned prices to supply them.”
“It is impossible to make a decision. In the industry chain, only OEMs are making big money, and other manufacturers are making some hard money, right?”
Zhou Gang is still not willing to make wedding clothes for others.
Even if their high-strength automotive steel plates were able to achieve technological breakthroughs with the help of others, that's one thing after another.
“Maybe I’ll discuss it with Mr. Zuo and set a standard for the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.”
“Based on the quantity of steel ordered by the other party this month, if it exceeds this scale The settlement will be based on the unplanned price, and the rest will continue to be based on the planned price. "
"In this way, it should be easier for them to accept."
People in sales are more flexible after all.
Liu Wenfei quickly found a plan that could satisfy Zhou Gang's requirements without offending his second-in-command Zuo Guangsheng.
“Your suggestion is good, let’s do what you said first.”
Zhou Gang felt that the sales of the new BJ212 will definitely continue to increase, and he also went to participate in this car in person offline ceremony, very optimistic about its future.
This is destined to become a classic model of the era and a hot-selling car.
Of course, there is no talk of a hot-selling car yet.
A large manufacturer like Shougang will be jealous after seeing the red scene of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, and many other supporting factories are naturally no exception.
For example, the Capital Auto Parts Factory, which was familiar with Jiang Hui, arranged for Tang Riyue, Jiang Hui's nominal apprentice, to inquire about the news.
“Master, there is a voice in our factory now that half of the new BJ212 is sold in an unplanned way, and the price is tens of thousands of yuan higher than the planned price.”
"Then half of the parts and components we supply can be settled at unplanned prices, or the settlement price can be increased overall."
"Of course, our factory director also He refutes this opinion and believes that the situation of the factory this year is better than last year and everyone should be content.”
"It's just that this kind of voice still exists after all. I think it's necessary to report it to you."
Tang Riyue now has no resistance at all to becoming Jiang Hui's teacher.
Especially Jiang Hui is now a rising star in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and even in the Chinese automobile industry.
The current level is the same as mine, and it will definitely be higher than mine in the future.
Under this situation, Tang Riyue even took the initiative to find various excuses to go to Jiang Hui to report his work.
Jiang Hui is naturally happy to see this happen.
“It is normal for some people in your factory to have such thoughts. This shows that the effects of the first batch of pilot reforms have begun to appear, and everyone’s enthusiasm is slowly being mobilized.”
Jiang Hui was not angry after hearing this.
Jealousy is human nature. The Capital Automobile Factory relies on the unplanned new BJ212 to make money every day.
The factory now distributes some benefits every week.
Rice, flour, oil, food, etc. are all properly arranged for the workers.
We are all factories on the same street as the automobile industry. When the gap in welfare benefits comes out, some people will naturally feel uncomfortable.
“I am worried that this voice will slowly become more and more powerful, and similar situations are likely to occur at other supporting factories such as the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory and the Capital Gear Factory. "
"I even think their situation will be more serious than our factory, because in addition to selling their products to you, some other factories also have demand."
"In. When production capacity is insufficient, they must hope to sell some of their products to other factories at high prices.”
When Tang Riyue said this, Jiang Hui took it seriously.
For example, Shounei's new engine and Capital Gear Factory's 4MT manual transmission are now hot-selling products in the Chinese automobile industry.
In a short period of time, there is no better product than theirs in the industry.
So there must be many factories thinking of ways to purchase more engines and gearboxes from them.
In this case, it will bring some instability factors to the supporting facilities of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
"Please help me understand the situation in detail. If there is any new news, you can come to me at any time."
Jiang Hui is going to talk to Chen Qi about this matter.
If we don’t solve this problem at its root, I’m afraid there will be some trouble.
......
There is a law in economics called Murphy's Law, which roughly means that the more worried you are about something bad happening, the more likely it will happen.
The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant began to worry that something would happen at the supporting plant. In fact, something had already happened.
"Xiaojiang, the Capital Gear Factory said that they have no way to respond to the additional 4MT order next month."
"But we learned about the situation privately, and they worked hard. In fact, we can still cope with it.”
In Zheng Haiming’s office, Chen Qi and Jiang Hui were called over for a small meeting.
Although the most important tasks of the BJ212 upgrade project team office have been completed, this temporary organization has not been cancelled.
Any issues related to the new BJ212 will still be given priority to this team for discussion and resolution.
So far, this team has not disappointed the factory.
“I have heard many similar rumors during this period. Some supporting factories feel that we use planned materials to produce models, but half of them are sold at unplanned prices, and we have gained huge profits from this. "They also want to enjoy this kind of benefits."
Jiang Hui expressed his opinion directly.
I guess most people know what's going on.
“Yes, money is so exciting. The benefits our factory has paid during this period are almost as much as last year. Many staff from other supporting factories are jealous after seeing this.”
Chen Qi is also very clear about the reasons behind this situation.
Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
The treatment at Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant was not much different from other supporting plants in the past.
The workers in the main engine factory, like the workers in the supporting factories, receive wages according to the wage standards for workers in Category 6 areas.
The only difference is that each factory has different welfare benefits during the holidays. This is also a time to compare the level of the buyers of each factory.
“It’s not surprising that they would have such an idea.”
“But we certainly can’t agree so simply and directly, otherwise there will be more supporting factories in the future. Jumping out to cause trouble in various situations.”
Zheng Haiming is not panicked.
Anyway, the worst result is that the capital automobile manufacturing plant uses unplanned prices to purchase materials and parts.
Although this will cause the production cost of the new BJ212 to increase significantly, the wool lies in the sheep.
Even if the price of materials and accessories doubles, at worst the final sales price will also double.
Until more joint venture car companies are established and more new models are put into production, there is no need to worry about this operation.
“Can we consider making a small concession? For example, 30% of accessories each month are settled at unplanned prices, and we increase their prices by 20%.”
Jiang Hui knew that it would be more appropriate to say some things by himself.
We can’t let Zheng Haiming or Chen Qi propose a price increase, right?
Anyway, for the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, the 20% cost increase of unplanned models can be completely covered by the selling price.
The wool comes from the sheep.
“Some supporting factories hope that all unplanned orders will be settled at the unplanned price. This is definitely an ideal situation.”
"Our factory is one of the eight pilot manufacturers, and the situation must be quite special."
"Being able to increase the price by 20% for 30% of the parts is already very sincere."
Chen Qi stood first Come out to support Jiang Hui's point of view.
Now that the turmoil has arisen, it will definitely not work if we don’t increase the price.
But it won’t work if the price increases too much.
"Okay, let's give this plan a try first."
Zheng Haiming didn't dwell on it for too long. At this time, the decision should be made as soon as possible without procrastination.
Otherwise, it would be a pity if it really affects the supply of parts and components.
Every unplanned new BJ212 is a mobile vehicle loaded with RMB.
……
"Assistant Jiang, there are some special reasons for the emergence of the 4MT manual transmission supply issue this time. I think I still need to report it to you."
The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant's quick actions soon Let a storm subside quickly.
For those supporting factories, as long as there is a part of the unplanned payment, it is enough for them to issue additional benefits.
As for more payment, they still have to hand it over when it comes to their hands, which is not very meaningful.
After all, they are not a pilot manufacturer for the factory power expansion reform, so the extra money earned will not be retained in the factory.
"The 4MT produced by Capital Gear Factory is now a hot seller in various automobile factories across the country. This news was published in "XX Daily" and I also saw it."
"Relatively speaking, some automobile factories in other places give The price is higher, so it’s human nature for you to give priority to selling some of your products to others.”
Jiang Hui didn’t argue with Ji Hua.
Anyway, things are already like this, and there is no point in arguing.
However, if the Capital Gear Factory wants to use his technology for free and continue to develop 3AT or even 4AT or 5MT, it will not be that easy.
Jiang Hui didn't come here to do charity.
When you start your own business in the future, the gearbox itself is a very critical product and can be left to your own hands to develop.
"There are some people in the factory who are short-sighted, and I have tried to persuade them, but the voices are a bit loud, and there is nothing I can do."
Ji Hua sighed with regret.
He really does not support Capital Gear Factory’s involvement in this matter.
After the riots at other supporting factories, if the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory adjusts relevant policies, then the Capital Gear Factory will definitely be able to enjoy it. Why rush to be the villain?
However, some people just can’t listen at all.
"I understand, after all, welfare is a real thing, and everything else is imaginary."
When Jiang Hui said this, Ji Hua became even more worried.
On the contrary, if Jiang Hui scolded him, Ji Hua would feel much better.
In the future, everyone can continue to have a good exchange of technical issues about gearboxes.
But now, it feels like a familiar stranger.
He knew that if he wanted to ask Jiang Hui for advice on the gearbox in the future, unless it was a product supplied to the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, there would be a high probability that he would not gain anything.
This is definitely a very big loss for Ji Hua, who is devoted to studying gearbox technology.
But not everyone can see this loss.
Even if some people see it, they think it doesn't matter.
If you develop a new technology, you may be asked by the superior department to transfer it to other factories for free at any time.
What are you doing with that energy?
When you have money, it is better to give more benefits to workers, maybe your own reputation and reputation will be better.
"Assistant Jiang, I will go back today. If you have anything to do later, you can call me at any time."
"I will be there whenever you call."
Even if everyone's levels are different, Ji Hua keeps his attitude very low.
It’s just that it’s hard to make a broken mirror, and some relationships are impossible to recover after being affected.
Especially once you feel that a relationship has begun to change, then there is no doubt that it must have changed.
