Chapter 239 Someone is anxious! The Attraction of Major Foreign Exchange Earners from Exports
US$30 million in foreign exchange is definitely very attractive to China in this era.
Especially this time the United States moved very quickly. After Woodcock and Jiang Hui finalized the matter, the funds were in place in less than a week.
That’s how rich people like the United States can do this. Even a BMW 70 has not been delivered, and the payment has already been received.
Of course, America is definitely not worried about Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory defaulting on its debt.
By doing this, they were putting pressure on Jiang Hui and others in disguise, demanding that the BMW 70 be produced as soon as possible and delivered to the opposition forces in the country.
It is not that troublesome to transport ten thousand motorcycles within China, but it is still quite difficult to get them all into Argentina.
Of course, Jiang Hui left this matter to the First Machinery Department.
Anyway, the coordination with the Fifth Machinery Department on the purchase of rifles and other weapons is done through the First Machinery Department.
Even out of the 30 million US dollars, 8 million US dollars were given to the 1st Machinery Department and the 5th Machinery Department to pay for related weapons and transportation costs.
It is equivalent to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory just adding a part of the modification fee to the domestic sales price of the BMW 70, and then converting it into US dollars according to the official exchange rate for sales.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that it is converted into US dollars according to the official exchange rate is enough to make countless people excited.
Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly became a major foreign exchange earner.
The impact on all parties is huge.
Relevant local departments in Chaoyang, relevant leaders from the capital city, or leaders from the First and Fifth Machinery Departments all came in droves.
Everyone wants to go to the scene to see what magic the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory has, and how powerful it can be in such a short period of time.
"Xiao Tan, the leaders of the department scolded me today. They feel that our factory is not living up to expectations. It occupies so many resources out of thin air, but it is not even as good as Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory."
"We must change this situation as soon as possible."
Xu Dachang is now feeling the pressure.
Even if I am about to retire, I know that there is no way to lie down.
"Director, I have arranged for people to investigate the situation of the BMW 70. As soon as they are officially launched, we will immediately purchase one and dismantle it."
"Then we will find the relevant supporting factories to process the parts. Production. "
"Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory's supporting factories are basically in the capital area. If we find the same supporting factory directly, we can buy parts without drawing the drawings ourselves. "
“Even because we save various early development costs, we can also buy cheaper parts.”
When Tan Xueqiang said this, Xu Dachang immediately became interested.
He really wanted to see the Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory produce results quickly.
“If those supporting factories sell us the parts delivered to Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory at the same time, I guess some factories will be worried, right?”
Although domestic regulations on various technical protections are is not enough.
But selling parts from one customer to another is somewhat taboo.
It’s not like Xu Dachang didn’t know this bit of common sense.
“For most factories, as long as they can make themselves better, they don’t particularly care what the Chaoyang factory thinks.”
“Of course, there must be some supporting factories that have not received the support of the Chaoyang factory. They dare not sell parts to us without their consent.”
“In this case, we have two ways to go.”
“On the one hand, we need to communicate with Chaoyang Factory. Let them not object to their supporting factories cooperating with us. After all, everyone is contributing to China's economic development. "
Wearing a high hat has always been something that people like Tan Xueqiang are very good at.
Many times, this trick works very well.
“On the other hand, if this road doesn’t work, we can find other factories to produce these parts.”
“There are so many factories in the country, I can’t believe that I left a certain factory , parts cannot be produced.”
Tan Xueqiang gave his opinion very definitely.
However, Xu Dachang was still a little worried and continued to ask: "Some parts are produced by Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory itself. We cannot buy these parts directly from other factories."
"Even when there are no drawings for these parts, it is difficult to find other factories to produce them simply by relying on the disassembled objects."
"Furthermore, some of the parts they have are from Imported from overseas, we have no channels for this part yet.”
Xu Dachang obviously has some understanding of the BMW 70.
So many people have recently visited the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, and naturally they know that some parts of the BMW 70 are produced in-house.
Like some key parts of the engine.
In addition, some parts are purchased from overseas through BMW Technology, a joint venture shareholder, and they cannot easily obtain them.
“For the parts produced in their factory, I think it is not impossible to get the physical parts, find a manufacturer of the same type to analyze, ask them to draw drawings, and then guide the workshop to produce them. "As for imported parts, we will take this opportunity to localize them and make our motorcycles 100% domestically produced products." The difference between a good one and a BMW 70 is taken as our efforts when reporting to the First Machinery Department.”
Tan Xueqiang gave his own judgment without thinking too much.
This time, Xu Dachang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"In this case, let's act quickly and try to get our prototype car out by the end of this year, so that I can find more funding from the ministry."
A piece of my heart. The stone finally fell, and Xu Dachang finally had a smile on his face.
Compared with the choices at the Capital Motorcycle Factory, the situation at the Jialing Factory is different.
“Lao Yuan, the leaders of the department called me. I hope that while our Jialing Honda 70 consumes foreign exchange, it can also earn foreign exchange through export.”
"Now the first batch of parts is ready to be shipped from Japan, and they can be assembled here starting next month."
"Our overall schedule will not be better than that of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory How much slower."
"According to their export earnings this time, the final price of a motorcycle with some guns and ammunition is $3,000."
"If we can obtain the same. order, then the one thousand dollars in foreign exchange consumed by each motorcycle is nothing.”
Early in the morning, Yin Zhiguo called Yuan Zhiwei to his office to discuss the Jialing Honda 70.
This project is considered to be the most critical project in the Jialing factory's conversion from military to civilian.
If Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory had not gone through so much trouble, the Jialing Factory would definitely have received a lot of applause and praise.
But the situation now is a bit subtle.
“I heard that Jiang Hui can speak fluent English and has been in contact with the American Embassy for a long time. Last year, he even went to the United States for an inspection for half a month.”
"The other party must have been in contact with people from the U.S. Embassy for a long time, which is why China and the United States cooperated to assist Algeria's target products."
"If we want to get a share of the pie, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"Unless the price can be lowered, the department will definitely not want to see us lowering the price to compete with the BMW 70 for orders."
Yuan Zhiwei has no confidence in earning foreign exchange through exports.
If it were really that easy to earn foreign exchange through export, then China's foreign exchange quota would not be so tight.
“I didn’t say that we must follow the path of American aid like the BMW 70. It can be sold to other places.”
When Yin Zhiguo said this, Yuan Zhiwei immediately said: "If you don't take this road, you can only sell it to other countries, such as Southeast Asia or the Middle East."
"But there are Hondas in those places. Our branches or dealers are selling Honda 70. We want to export it, but Honda will definitely not agree.”
“And Honda’s sales price in those overseas markets is actually far less than 3,000 US dollars. Even if we sell imported parts at a price of around US$1,000, they may not be particularly competitive locally. "
When Yuan Zhiwei said this, Yin Zhiguo's face immediately turned ugly.
This won’t work, and that won’t work either.
When the time comes, how will he explain it to the leader of the Fifth Machinery Department?
But he also knew that what Yuan Zhiwei said was reasonable, and it was useless to lose his temper.
“This time around the export of BMW 70 to earn foreign exchange, not only did the First Machinery Department give a high evaluation, but even the leaders in our department praised each other.”
“After all, they We have led some factories in our department to do part of the task of earning foreign exchange through exports.”
“In this case, if we cannot catch up with each other in earning foreign exchange through exports, we must also find ways to do better in other areas. OK.”
"Otherwise, there will be no way to explain to the department."
The pressure must not be shouldered entirely by himself. Yin Zhiguo was going to force Yuan Zhiwei hard to get this product out.
"Director, you can rest assured that we have obtained the drawings provided by Honda and are communicating with various supporting factories."
"This year we will first use imported parts to produce motorcycles. Large-scale localization will begin next year, and the output will quickly increase from 2,500 to 20,000 or even 50,000 vehicles, making our Jialing factory the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the country.”
Yuan Zhiwei's words made Yin Zhiguo look better.
It's just hard to say whether the future situation will really be what they want.
......
Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory and Jialing Factory were very passive due to the sudden export orders from Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
But as the instigator, Jiang Hui has no time to deal with these things now.
What he has to do is mass-produce the BMW 70 as soon as possible and deliver all the orders he has received.
Don't let the duck fly away when the time comes.
