Chapter 248 Brand new product, opening up a new era
“Are you going to launch a new product again?”
Qin Hao’s focus was immediately diverted by Jiang Hui.
Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is now Qin Hao’s treasure.
During the previous factory contracting reform, only Jiang Hui stood up to contract the factory, otherwise the reform of the First Machinery Department would have become a joke.
With this start, other poorly managed factories gradually began to be contracted.
Even so, no one has performed better than Jiang Hui after contracting the factory.
Even the combined results of all other contracted factories are not as good as Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
In just one year, Jiang Hui turned a factory on the verge of bankruptcy into a major export earner, and his profitability has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not to mention workers’ wages are in arrears, various benefits are now paid every month.
Rice, flour, grain and oil, these urgently needed supplies gave every worker of Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory a huge sense of satisfaction.
“Yes, the BMW 70 has been mass-produced and its performance in all aspects is relatively stable. I am going to introduce two new products immediately so that our production and sales can quickly increase.”
“At that time, we will not only make more contributions to solving the employment problem in the capital area, but also contribute to the development of China’s motorcycle industry.”
By taking this opportunity, Jiang Hui was going to report to Qin Hao on the next steps in the factory.
BMW 70 will be a classic product that spans the ages.
But after all, this product is based on the Honda 70, so it cannot be said to be very creative.
It can only become a classic in China.
But the next two products are different. Jiang Hui completely wants to make them classic models throughout China and even the world.
At that time, other factories will imitate the products of Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, and the brand power of "BMW" motorcycles will continue to increase invisibly.
This is also a way to build a mid-to-high-end brand in the future and prepare for large-displacement motorcycles.
"According to what you said, we can indeed consider introducing more new products."
"Have you determined the specific product targets?"
Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory The more brilliant the achievements, the greater Qin Hao's political achievements.
Even in the future, with the development and growth of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, his position may be moved.
“Yes, of the two motorcycles we are planning to introduce, one is a scooter mainly targeted at the female market.”
"This car uses the same engine, gearbox and other parts as the BMW 70. It mainly makes some special optimizations in appearance to make it more suitable for women to ride and look more fashionable and beautiful."
Pedals The motorcycle is certainly not the first in the world, but it has not been produced by any motorcycle factory in China.
The world's first motorcycle close to a scooter appeared in 1911. This car was invented by the Dutch.
Compared with straddle-type motorcycles, scooters make passengers feel more comfortable. They can keep their legs together like driving a car.
What’s interesting is that in the beginning, the scooter had a car steering wheel in front of the body.
If German-made motorcycles look like horse-drawn carriages, then the Dutch-made scooters look like two-wheeled cars.
After the Netherlands, the Americans also manufactured a new type of scooter. Its breakthrough design was to remove the bicycle-style girder and reduce the height of the entire body a lot. The disadvantage is that it The tires are too small.
The scooter Jiang Hui plans to bring out is based on the shape and structure of the later Suzuki UY125, but the engine will temporarily use the small-displacement BMW 70 engine.
Wait until the next generation scooter is launched, then replace it with a 125CC engine.
What is most needed at this stage is to quickly launch a scooter to meet the needs of female consumers in major cities in the country.
Although China is still very poor, poverty is relative.
In fact, there are families with several thousand yuan in savings, which is quite a lot in terms of quantity.
Especially for some high-level intellectual families, where both husband and wife have a monthly income of more than 100 yuan, or even more than 200 yuan a month, it is normal to save one to two thousand yuan a year.
I don’t usually have any other big purchases. Even if I want to eat more meat, it’s not that easy to buy.
It can be said that money can’t buy many things.
In this way, saving money is a very common practice.
After a few years, it is normal to have a few thousand yuan in savings.
For these people, spending money to buy a motorcycle is similar to buying a color TV. It is a bit luxurious but acceptable.
So Jiang Hui is still very optimistic about the scooter market.
The most important thing is that Jiang Hui feels that the scooter can not only be sold in China, but also has the opportunity to be exported to Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, making it a key product for Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to earn foreign exchange through export.
If this goal is really achieved, the meaning will be very different.
"Scooter? What does it look like?"
From Jiang Hui's few words, Qin Hao felt its charm.
Jiang Hui's vision has always been very confident.
“We can finalize the design plan next month and start making hand-made prototypes. Then Bureau Qin, you can just come to our factory to visit.”
There was no ready-made information on hand, so Jiang Hui didn't say much today.
There seems to be no harm in whetting Qin Hao's appetite.
"What about the other one? What are its characteristics?" Qin Hao remembered clearly that just now Jiang Hui said that they were planning to introduce two new products at once.
Such a generous move is still relatively rare among various automobile and motorcycle factories in China.
"The other one is more uniquely positioned. It is a three-wheeled vehicle, mainly targeting the small-scale freight market in rural and urban areas."
"Especially on July 7 this year, the relevant departments officially released the " "Several Policy Provisions on Non-Agricultural Individual Economy in Urban Areas" clearly states that the individual economy is a necessary supplement to the state-owned economy and the collective economy."
"This has led to more small traders and hawkers in various places. Don't look at these. People seem to have a low social status, but they have made a lot of money in recent years.”
“For them, a three-wheeled motorcycle that can transport people and goods is very valuable. There is a market for it."
Jiang Hui is obviously planning to bring out the "Three Bunzi".
In an era when car ownership was very low, there was definitely a market for Sanbengzi.
“Is it the kind of tricycle produced by the Capital Automobile and Motorcycle Factory?”
This time, Qin Hao had no smile on his face, but frowned.
Obviously, he is also aware of the current predicament of the Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
Those tricycles basically cannot be sold.
That is to say, some law enforcement units in the capital area will purchase some for use, but the quantity is also very limited.
After all, the funds of each department are very tight, and it is impossible to add a large amount of new equipment every year.
“Of course not. Not many ordinary people in China would buy that kind of three-wheeled motorcycle, and small businessmen and vendors are even more uninterested in this kind of motorcycle.”
“Our factory plans to introduce it. It is a product that is different from the tricycles produced by any motorcycle factory. ”
“And unlike the BMW 70, our tricycle product will be launched in several versions at the same time to fully satisfy different small businesses. Different needs of hawkers”
"It can have a carriage or a convertible. As long as consumers demand it, we can produce it."
Although the "Sanbengzi" looks a bit unsophisticated, when it is brought out at this time, as long as the cost is controlled Okay, don’t sell it at such a high price, it will definitely sell well.
Maybe the sales volume will be better than that of scooters and BMW 70.
"When you say that, I am very curious. I will definitely go to your factory to take a closer look."
I will take Jiang Hu to see Zheng Haiming later, but Qin Hao is I didn’t ask so many questions in detail.
But at least through the conversation with Jiang Hui, he knew that Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory was really not just messing around with people this time.
They are preparing for the introduction of new products.
Since there is such a valid reason, if you sit with your butt slightly crooked, there will be no pressure.
Soon, the two of them appeared in Zheng Haiming's office.
"Xiao Jiang, did Chen Qi call you directly to scold you?"
When he saw Jiang Hui, Zheng Haiming's face was full of kindness and he didn't look like he was angry at all.
Obviously, he did not pay special attention to the complaints from the factory directors below.
After all, everything is within control. As long as he wants to guide it in any direction, he will definitely succeed.
In this case, Zheng Haiming will naturally not be nervous.
“Scold me?”
"Why are you scolding me?"
"Leader, Director Chen praised me enough. Some time ago, I helped them look at the appearance design plan of the new model."
>Jiang Hui completely pretended that nothing happened, leaving Zheng Haiming a little speechless.
Of course, Jiang Hui has this attitude only after everyone is familiar with him.
If it were another person, it would be completely different.
"Your actions this time are too big. Let's calm down for a while."
"Forget about those who have already been recruited, and those who have not yet been recruited, stop all of them."
Palms of the palms The back of his hand is full of flesh. Although Zheng Haiming supports Jiang Hui, he must also consider the ideas of other factories at this time.
If you want to recruit people, do it slowly in the future, don’t do it in such a hurry.
“Okay, I will stop recruiting all technical personnel starting tomorrow and wait until this batch of personnel is digested.”
The boss has spoken, and Jiang Hui must listen.
More than two hundred technical personnel came, and the R&D center did need some time to digest them.
Otherwise, it would be a waste if there was no way to give full play to the strength of these talents.
Although there are only more than 200 people, considering the level of these people, they are actually a very competitive R&D team in the entire China.
The prerequisite is that it can be used well.
Jiang Hui is ready to start a new era with new products starting from this technical team.
