Chapter 260 Sensation in the ancient city, the special snow scene brought by the first snow since winter
Winter in the capital is not very friendly to ordinary people.
It’s freezing cold and I have to go to work. It’s like suffering.
Especially in this era, many people do not have central heating in their homes and have to rely on themselves to find ways to solve the heating problem, which is even more painful.
Today, the capital area ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shyly penetrates the clouds and shines on this ancient land covered with snow, the whole city seems to be awakened, exuding an indescribable tenderness and peace.
In the hutong, on the roofs of blue bricks and gray tiles, layers of pure white snow contrast with the quaint courtyards. Time seems to slow down here.
On the street, there are many pedestrians rushing to work, but they are all in a hurry. They are wearing heavy cotton coats, woolen hats and gloves. They exhale clouds of white mist between their breaths, blending in with the surrounding snow scenery. .
At this moment, a roar came from a distance.
BMW Xs painted in blue are moving fast against the cold wind.
After it snows, it is very inconvenient to ride a bicycle, so basically no one rides a bicycle on the street, and everyone walks with their heads down on both sides of the road.
But there is no problem with three-wheeled motorcycles.
Even if there is a layer of finger-thick snow on the ground, it will not affect the BMW X's rapid progress.
Every motorcycle is transporting various things, making it feel like you are in a hurry to do something.
Of course, words such as Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, BMW X, and 2888 Yuan also appear in some slogans, letting everyone know where this special fleet comes from.
There has been a lot of news related to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory in the past year, and many people have heard of its name.
The popularity of BMW 70 and BMW S is very high in the capital area.
But this is the first time everyone saw the name BMW X, but they remembered it after seeing it.
Lao Luming, who was carrying two loads of peanuts on a pole, immediately noticed the tricycle on the street.
The appearance of BMW X is simple and plain, as if it is a lively scenery on the earth.
The body frame is welded from thick steel pipes, outlining a solid outline and showing a simple and unpretentious sense of strength.
In the front part of the car, the two round headlights are like stars in the night sky. Although they are not dazzling, they are enough to illuminate the road ahead, which can provide reliable safety protection for night driving.
It can carry people and pull goods, is simple to operate, is durable, economical and practical!
These slogans brought him great excitement.
As an older educated youth who has returned to the city, the street has never arranged a job for him.
It's definitely not okay to chew on old age.
So eventually he started setting up a stall like everyone else.
But he had better luck and chose to sell boiled peanuts.
After a pound of dried peanuts are boiled, not only is there no loss, but the weight has more than doubled, and the selling price has also more than doubled.
In this way, the profit margin inside is very considerable.
Every day he would come back early to buy a load of dried peanuts. He would take the time to cook them in the morning, and then set up a stall at the entrance of a nearby factory at noon.
Not to mention, you can earn at least seven or eight yuan a day. When business is good, you can earn dozens of yuan a day.
This is definitely much higher than the wages of workers.
So after one year of setting up a stall, Lao Luming's savings soared to more than 5,000 yuan, and he is about to become a low-key household worth 10,000 yuan next year.
But after seeing that Lao Luming's business improved, and many other people followed suit and sold boiled peanuts, he has been thinking about how he can improve it.
When he saw some of the BMW X fleet in front of him transporting briquette stoves, he was immediately inspired.
If you buy a BMW X at that time, you can put the honeycomb briquette stove at home on it, and then put a large aluminum pot for cooking peanuts on it, so that people can buy hot peanuts.
In winter, this is definitely a very tempting thing.
Even in summer, hot boiled peanuts taste better than cold ones.
By then, my business will definitely be able to reach a higher level.
Thinking of this, Lao Luming immediately felt a little unable to stand.
After he sells out the load of peanuts today, he plans to take a day off tomorrow and go to a nearby BMW motorcycle sales store to see if he can buy a BMW X.
As for the price of a car, which is 2,888 yuan, he doesn’t care at all.
Although it is very expensive, there is no need for a ticket. He is rich and can afford it!
There are many people who have similar ideas to Lao Luming. The sales of BMW X are destined to explode.
Today's special street parade is an unprecedented event. It caused a sensation throughout the capital that day and became a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.
The people at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory also received the unified propaganda words in the factory, telling people around them that BMW X can haul goods, sit on people, and...
BMW X follow-up There will also be various versions launched.
There are sheds above the shelves, there are sheds above the driver's seat, there are sheds above both...
Anyway, as long as there is a market, Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory will produce them.
Naturally, the Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory also saw such a big movement.
"Xiao Tan, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory has launched another BMW X tricycle. The design is completely different from our tricycle, but the response seems to be very good." "Can we put our Change the three-wheeler and produce the same three-wheeler as them?”
Xu Dachang thought that few units were willing to purchase the three-wheeler produced by his own factory, and he also wanted to make some innovations. come out.
“This can really be done well. I think the main users of tricycles from Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory are small businessmen and hawkers.”
"For these people, as long as the price is cheap enough, it's not that critical if the quality is poor or the performance is poor."
"We can completely convert the existing three-wheeled engine and transmission Use the box to minimize the cost of the tricycle."
This time Tan Xueqiang can finally say these words with some confidence.
The previous projects that copied the BMW 70 have not achieved any decent results so far.
The factory does not have much funds to support the development of this project, and the First Machinery Department will not allocate relevant funds to support it.
Under such circumstances, it is not that easy for the Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to make some noise.
In fact, this is also a common problem faced by various domestic factories at this stage.
That is, the limited funds are spent on paying wages to workers, and there is simply no way to have enough funds to develop new products.
As a result, it will never be possible to achieve fundamental changes in factory operations.
With the rise of private enterprises, these situations will become more serious.
In addition to companies with monopoly advantages, it is not difficult for other factories to maintain sufficient competitiveness in the face of competition from private enterprises.
“Yes, I see that the cabins of the BMW We must keep up with this design trend and produce our own tricycles quickly, otherwise we won’t be able to sell any products and we won’t have the funds to come back.”
“There may not be a motorcycle manufacturer in the capital in the future. "
The First Machinery Department had internal discussions about letting Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory merge with Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, and Xu Dachang also heard some rumors.
Fortunately, it seemed that the other party didn't take a fancy to him, otherwise Xu Dachang felt that he would have to find a way to change his position.
Otherwise, after being merged, the position of the factory director will definitely not be maintained, and there will be no good life by then.
"Factory Director, do the higher-ups have any ideas about reforming our factory?"
Tan Xueqiang is not stupid.
These old bastards are particularly sensitive to some information.
From Xu Dachang's words, he was keenly aware of some contents.
“There are some ideas in this regard. Many factories across the country are now carrying out various reforms. It is normal for leaders to have some ideas.”
“Our factory has a high probability of doing so this year. It's going to be a loss. If it's still a loss next year, it might be a poor candidate for contracting. "
"Xiao Tan, do you have any ideas about contracting?"
< br>Now that we’ve talked about it, Xu Dachang might as well ask a few more questions.
Anyway, he himself doesn't want to do anything about contracting factories. He just wants to retire well and live his life well.
"Factory Director, you know best how many pounds I have."
"Even if the ministry included our factory in the scope of reform, I would not dare to go there. Contract."
"That is, young people like Jiang Hui dare to take such risks when they don't know the heights of the world."
Tan Xueqiang grimaced.
He is also very dissatisfied with the current situation.
But he doesn’t have the brains to come up with some good plans.
Fortunately, Xu Dachang proposed to use the existing three-wheeled resources to produce a three-wheeled vehicle like the BMW X. He was confident that he could lead everyone to get it done.
The Capital Motorcycle Factory can think of this plan, and the Jialing Factory is no exception.
"Lao Yuan, our colleagues in the capital office have just reported the latest news. There is another big news at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory."
"Based on the power system of the BMW 70, they developed a three-wheeled vehicle called the BMW Thoughts?”
Yin Zhiguo called Yuan Zhiwei to his office to discuss the next step of motorcycle product planning for the Jialing factory.
Although promoting the localization of the Jialing Honda 70 motorcycle is the most important thing at the moment, the development of new products certainly cannot fall behind.
If there is no movement from other factories, they can still wait.
But the situation is different now, and Yin Zhiguo is also feeling the pressure.
“Director, I think it is completely unwise for Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to launch such a tricycle.”
“From the perspective of production cost, the cost of a tricycle is 70% higher than that of a BMW 70 It’s higher, but the other party’s price is lower.”
“This is definitely abnormal, and it will also make people think that the products you produce are only for low-end hawkers on the roadside. If you use it, other rich people may not be willing to buy it.”
When Yuan Zhiwei said this, Yin Zhiguo immediately became interested.
