Chapter 254 Quietly, the R&D team made a big breakthrough
“It is inevitable that more other international motorcycle giants will enter China, and it is also encouraged by both the Fifth Machinery Department and the First Machinery Department. Things."
"What we can do in this regard is very limited."
"Jialing Honda 70 has not fully understood the product and hastily introduced new products and spent a lot of money. Not to mention the capital, the output ratio is not cost-effective.”
“We will not consider new products until we have fully localized the Jialing Honda 70.”
Yin Zhiguo's point of view obviously has no problem at this time.
Just this decision will have a huge impact on Jialing Factory sooner or later.
If you don’t start working on a new product now, by the time you find something is wrong, it will be too late to start working on it again.
Of course, these are all things for later.
As the biggest beneficiary of BMW S’s National Day gift, Jiang Hui was in the factory listening to reports from various departments.
"Director, today the number of employees in our R&D center has officially exceeded 500."
When Hou Guoming said this, Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment.
Wasn’t there just over 200 people some time ago?
How come there were 500 people so quickly?
Although I have given Hou Guoming the right to recruit technical personnel, Hou Guoming will not randomly recruit people in order to complete the task, right?
As if guessing the doubts in Jiang Hui's mind, Hou Guoming added: "The newly introduced technicians we introduced this time actually adopt the same method as the previous batch of people."
"It's just that This time we are not recommending employees, but waiting for those people to come to us on their own initiative.”
“Since there have been more than two hundred successful cases, this time many people are enthusiastic and positive about our factory. Their trust has been greatly improved.”
“I see that many people have good resumes, but there is a shortage of people in the factory, so I want them.”
Hou. Guoming knew that Jiang Hui wanted to build the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory R&D Center into the largest motorcycle technology R&D center in China.
Let alone 500 people, it is possible to have a R&D team of several thousand people in the future.
In that case, it can be regarded as the only one among all the factories in China.
"The number of people coming this time is no less than the last time. Those factories didn't complain about us in the department?"
Jiang Hui definitely wouldn't mind having a few more technicians.
In an era of talent shortage, Jiang Hui doesn't mind at all if these people are willing to come to work, even if they are in their forties or fifties.
Now there is no saying that you won’t want it after the age of thirty-five.
For those who are engaged in technology, after the age of thirty-five, it is the time to start to show their power.
“When we admitted them, we specifically emphasized this point and asked them to handle the original internal return procedures within the factory.”
“We should take care of what needs to be taken care of, don’t be afraid. To spend money, I even communicated with the finance department and advanced one month’s salary to them, so that they could have money to give gifts to the original personnel and related personnel in the factory.”
“Originally, what they do is the rules. Everything is legal and compliant, there are no problems.”
"With a little more planning, there will naturally be nothing to complain about."
"Besides, many people in the factory have already complained once before, and they also know what the result will be."
< br>"If we do it again, apart from showing that they are very incompetent, there is no other better gain."
"So although the scale of recruitment this time is not small, the waves it caused are huge. Much smaller. "
After Hou Guoming explained this, Jiang Hui understood immediately.
Although he is not afraid of complaining, it is definitely the best thing if no one bothers him.
“After these technical personnel enter our factory, they must give full play to their professional level, make full use of their talents, and contribute to the development of the factory.”
“From today on, we will Based on the existing 70CC engine, we have begun to develop 90CC, 125CC and 250CC engines.”
“We strive to have one or two engines that can make breakthroughs within next year to provide more powerful engines for our new motorcycles. Power.”
In Jiang Hui’s view, the most critical part of a motorcycle is the engine.
Whether it is the output power or fuel consumption, everyone attaches great importance to it.
As for the appearance, if you come up with some ideas, it will be enough for the factory to spend the next ten years comfortably.
Many technologies of motorcycle engines are actually similar to car engines.
Especially when studying super-large-displacement motorcycle engines in the future, they can be used on some micro-cars.
So if we now develop motorcycle engines as the most critical technology, we can definitely contribute to the automotive business in the future.
For example, Japan's Honda and Suzuki started out as motorcycles, and later started producing cars.
Even BMW produced motorcycles for a while and then transformed into cars.
Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory can obviously follow a similar path.
Of course, whether the subsequent cars should be placed under the name of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is another consideration.
“No problem, now there is a R&D team of more than 500 people, and there is no problem in developing several engines at the same time.”
"In addition, we will also develop corresponding gearboxes and other parts at the same time, and try to keep the key parts in our own hands as much as possible." Hou Guoming is also a pursuer.
He knew that Jiang Hui was very ambitious and he had to keep up with the pace quickly.
Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to stay as the director of the R&D center.
“The production management department and the R&D center are also cooperating well, and the future production line configuration and planning must be synchronized.”
"As Lao Hou said, the core components must be in our own hands. I fully agree with this view."
"Key components such as engines, gearboxes, and even braking systems are all controlled by us." Produce it in-house.”
“Only hand over some less important parts to external supporting factories.”
Both motorcycles and cars are needed. Relying on the advantages of the industrial chain for overall development, it is not enough to rely solely on the factory itself.
Of course, how to grasp the degree is also a very critical issue.
Different OEMs adopt different solutions, and it is difficult to say which one is the best.
For example, the current direction of European and American car companies is to hand over a large number of parts to external suppliers for production.
In Japan, they prefer to produce most of the core parts themselves or to suppliers with which they have a shareholding relationship. They only hand over less important parts to other companies in the market. Produced by suppliers.
As for China, there are all kinds of things.
At the beginning, many car companies could only purchase from outside because they had limited core technologies.
Later, car companies such as BYD felt that this was not enough, so they began to increase their efforts in independent development, and slowly formed their own supply chain control capabilities.
However, there are still many car companies that still need to rely on suppliers to develop core parts.
“No problem, our departments will hold regular meetings every week, and everyone will exchange some information to ensure that the overall progress of each project in the factory is carried out as planned.”
Hou Guoming definitely hopes that the development and production of core technologies will remain within the factory, so that it can better cope with various changes.
……
"Xiao Jiang, your R&D center is now stronger than our college. Is it necessary to continue the cooperation between the two parties to develop motorcycle technology?"
When he returned home at night, Jiang Hui reported the situation inside the factory. I talked to Zhu Jiansheng.
Previously, Lin Guanyong hoped to promote cooperation between Capital University of Technology and Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, and Zhu Jiansheng also supported it.
But now the situation has changed, and Zhu Jiansheng naturally has to adjust his strategy based on his son-in-law's needs.
“Of course it can continue. Our factory’s own research and development is more focused on the application technology of specific models.”
"But the R&D at the school can be directed towards more forward-looking technological research."
"There is no conflict in this regard."
Although the R&D team is growing rapidly, Jiang Hui would never dislike having too many R&D personnel.
The College of Mechanical and Vehicle Factory of Capital Institute of Technology not only has hundreds of teachers of various types, but also various student resources that cannot be ignored.
Besides, if you cooperate with the other party and achieve results, it will be very beneficial to my father-in-law's future.
"Okay, since you think there is still a need for cooperation, then I will arrange for someone to implement it in detail."
"In the future, we can arrange for teachers from our college to communicate with you regularly, and we can determine the cooperation options together. R&D project.”
After listening to Jiang Hui’s words, Zhu Jiansheng did not hesitate.
Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is not short of money now, and the Capital Institute of Technology also has sufficient funds this year.
Both parties are not under too much pressure. On the contrary, they can achieve results more freely.
"I have assigned several key R&D projects to the R&D center during this period. At that time, they can be broken down into some small projects and everyone can cooperate in detail."
"For example, research on shock absorption is The school’s advantageous projects.”
“There are also some material selections, and the two parties can also cooperate closely.”
As soon as Jiang Hui mentioned the new project, Zhu Jiansheng couldn’t help himself. Asked: "Can you really launch the BMW S and BMW X motorcycles this year?"
"Although time is important, quality cannot be ignored, otherwise the reputation will be ruined. It will be very difficult to recover later.”
Zhu Jiansheng was a little worried that Jiang Hui had acted too hastily and ruined the good situation.
“We will first carry out small-scale mass production of the BMW S. Anyway, the core parts of the engine and gearbox are shared with the BMW 70, so there is no need to worry about their quality issues.”
“Even if some parts on the other body parts are handmade, there won’t be any big problems.”
“While the National Day gifts are still hot, let’s launch the BMW S first. It should be good for our subsequent promotion.”
The popularity of this thing will soon decrease with the passage of time.
In an era when advertising is not so convenient, we must pay attention to changes in popularity.
So Jiang Hui has arranged for people to prepare for the production of BMW S at high speed.
