Chapter 196 The little brother is too powerful, the big brother is worried
There is no airtight wall in the world.
Although China and the United States are advancing the matter of BJ212 aid to Afghanistan in a confidential manner, neither side has publicized it in newspapers.
But this kind of information cannot be completely kept secret.
Relevant ministries and commissions such as the First Machinery Department and the Fifth Machinery Department of China, as well as the directors of some of their subordinate factories, soon heard some news.
"Xiao Zhao, the new BJ212 from Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant can now be exported to earn foreign exchange, and it is still sold at an exaggerated price of US$50,000 per unit."
"We also need to think of ways to improve our products. Let’s see if it’s possible to make something famous.”
At the Second Automobile Group, the factory director Chen Liangrong called Zhao Bufan, the director of the sales department, to his office.
When he went to the capital to attend a meeting yesterday, he unexpectedly learned that the BJ212 of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, a product of China and the United States' cooperation to aid the opposition forces in Algeria, was actually exported to earn foreign exchange!
And the price of each car is actually as high as 50,000 US dollars, which definitely refreshed his understanding.
When can China's cars still be exported to earn foreign exchange?
As the director of the Second Automobile Industry Corporation, he is very aware of the gap between the domestic automobile industry and the international advanced level.
The gap was so big that he had no confidence that he could catch up.
In the past decade or so, not all of China's cars have gone overseas, but those cars that have gone overseas have been given to countries in Africa and other regions through free assistance.
This kind of export, not to mention earning foreign exchange, even the cost has not been recovered, it is just making a profit.
But the situation at Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is different this time.
They really got super high foreign exchange from the United States.
Now the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has become the star factory of the First Machinery Department.
The amount of foreign exchange earned by a factory from exports in one month is almost as much as a few percent of last year’s foreign exchange reserves.
It’s a bit exaggerated when you think about it.
"Director, I admit that the new BJ212 produced by Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is very good. It is available in the market at both planned and unplanned prices. It is a very popular product."
"But To say that it has been sold overseas on a large scale at a very high price of 50,000 US dollars, I don’t believe it. Is there any special reason for this? ”
Zhao Bufan said confidently? make your own judgment.
In his opinion, what Chen Liangrong said was impossible to happen.
“I didn’t believe it at first, but it is the truth.”
Chen Liangrong sighed, feeling a little uncomfortable all over.
“The BJ212 of the Capital Automobile Factory can achieve such results this time, which is definitely beyond everyone’s expectations. Not only you don’t believe it, but many other people don’t believe it either.”
“The more this Under such circumstances, they become even more powerful.”
Hearing what Chen Liangrong said, Zhao Bufan’s expression also changed.
How can the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant still be in such a situation?
"Director, I will go and inquire later to see how Capital Automobile Manufacturing Factory sells BJ212 abroad."
Zhao Bufan knew that he must be more active at this time, otherwise Chen Liangrong Definitely unhappy.
“No need to ask, I already know it.”
“They directly proposed an incredible plan to the Ministry of Machinery and other ministries. The most important thing is that they themselves and the American Embassy After communicating there, the plan was finally implemented.”
“Through cooperation with the United States, one side provided funds and the other side provided materials, and both parties jointly provided guns, ammunition and other materials to the resistance forces in Afghanistan. , Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant took BJ212 as the first project of cooperation. ”
"If this kind of thing didn't really happen, it would be hard for me to believe it even if you reported it to me in advance."
Chen Liangrong told what he had learned.
This made Zhao Bufan even more surprised.
Can such an operation still be possible?
Our products are distributed uniformly by the Planning Committee, so there is no need for the sales office to do any special work.
Therefore, Zhao Bufan's life has been relatively easy in the past few years.
But once the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant does this, the situation will be different.
Looking at Chen Liangrong’s intention, it seems that he wants Second Automobile to do this, and this matter must be left to the sales office.
How can that work!
Before Chen Liangrong made specific requests, Zhao Bufan said directly: "Chen Factory, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has obtained the first batch of cooperation material projects, so will the second batch of projects be required? Has the opportunity been given to other manufacturers? ”
"Can the factory consider trying to negotiate with the First Machinery Department so that the department can use our products as aid materials?" The car manufacturer remains the same, just $50,000 for a car."
Chen Liangrong was stunned for a moment when Zhao Bufan said this.
How could this Xiao Zhao have such thoughts?
I called him here, not because I expected that Second Automobile Group Co., Ltd. would have the opportunity to get some credit for this cooperation project between China and America, but I thought the sales office could be bolder, mostly for the vehicles in the factory. Look for a way out, and you can't always rely on the distribution of superior departments.
As the factory director, Chen Liangrong is very well-informed.
He knows that the sales model allocated according to plan will see more and more changes in the future. Moreover, if you want to achieve extra results, you cannot rely on your superiors for everything.
How else would this score be considered yours?
Who knew that he had not made any demands, but Zhao Bufan started to make demands to the factory first.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Bufan's father was the deputy director of FAW and his former old leader, he would have gone crazy.
"Your idea is quite bold, but our trucks are not suitable as products to assist Afghanistan. Even if we find a machine department, it will be useless."
" Even the BJ212 of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is not particularly suitable for assistance, but because the project was initiated by others, the first batch of cooperative products was symbolically made into BJ212. "
"As for the subsequent products, it is estimated. More will be concentrated in the factories under the Fifth Machinery Department.”
When Chen Liangrong heard the news, he immediately thought of the possibility that Second Automobile Works might gain some results from it.
After asking around, Naihe knew that there was no hope at all.
But the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has launched such a large satellite. As the second largest player in the Chinese automobile industry, the Second Automobile Manufacturer naturally hopes to make some noise.
That’s why Chen Liangrong called Zhao Bufan over, wanting to discuss with him the possibility of exporting FAW’s trucks to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, so as to create some foreign exchange for the country.
“Well, that’s such a pity.”
“But I think it’s okay to give it a try. In case the Americans are not short of money, they have to give it to Afghanistan. How about supporting a group of trucks?”
"Chen Chang, I will go to the capital in a few days to see if I can push this matter forward."
Zhao Bufan feels that he should leave the Second Automobile Works Group for a business trip during this time. suitable.
On the one hand, it is to show one's positivity, and on the other hand, it is to avoid the limelight.
Otherwise everyone would be discussing the great achievements of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, and I, the director of the sales department, would easily become the target of public criticism.
……
The same scene is happening at FAW.
"Old Zhao, in all departments of our factory, everyone must emancipate their minds and take active actions."
"Otherwise, the position of the boss of China's automobile industry will be lost in the future. I have to abdicate and give way to others."
Geng Weidong took a puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly, and exchanged some thoughts about the factory with Zhao Guangming, who was sitting opposite him.
FAW has a bright halo, but its performance in recent years has been average.
If other factories are like this, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, Geng Weidong thinks FAW is not the worst.
However, other factories don't worry, especially the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, which frees up some things every three to 50% off, which makes Geng Weidong very uncomfortable.
“It is indeed necessary to change. The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant can do so many things. If we work hard, it is not impossible.”
"But I heard that the reason why the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has such a big contribution this time is the bold plan proposed by Jiang Hui."
"I remember that the factory specially provided a special position before, and asked Yu Jiang to go to the capital to recruit people, right?"
"Why haven't they been recruited?"
Zhao Guangming immediately The focus of the topic has shifted.
In his opinion, if Yu Jiang hadn't been incompetent and hired Jiang Hui, the honor this time might have belonged to FAW.
“Young people have their own ideas. Even if we set up a research and development branch in the capital, they are not interested.”
"Now he is the deputy director of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and a popular figure in the First Machinery Department. He is expected to become the director soon."
"If we want to recruit people, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. "
"Unless the superiors can directly transfer people to us."
When Geng Weidong said this, his eyes immediately lit up.
This matter does not seem to be impossible at all.
"Geng Chang, I am familiar with Director Qin of the Automobile Bureau. Why don't we let him do Jiang Hui's job and see if we can transfer him directly to our FAW?"
Zhao Guangming After saying this, Geng Weidong agreed after a slight hesitation.
There is no harm in giving it a try anyway. If you really get it done, it will definitely be a happy event.
"Okay, but when you communicate with Director Qin, you must make our FAW's difficulties more serious and express our determination to reform and enterprising stronger."
"Let the car The bureau tried its best to help us solve this matter.”
After Geng Weidong said this, he felt an inexplicable sense of expectation in his heart.
If this thing really happens, it will be an unexpected surprise.
