Chapter 262 Walking through 1981 and looking forward to 1982
Looking back on the entire 1981, China has undergone tremendous changes.
The situation of various factories under the First Machinery Department began to turn around quickly due to the early adoption of the reform plan of contracting out factories operating at a loss.
More factories have begun to join this reform.
The success of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant has also led to the healthy development of other factories in the entire industry chain.
This has made things much better for many factories throughout the capital region.
As for the Fifth Machinery Department, also because of the excellent performance of the Humvee military vehicle jointly produced by the Capital Institute of Technology and the 618th Factory, it has already launched a project to assist Afghanistan in advance with the United States, and life has been much better. .
Although the funds allocated by relevant departments have decreased, the lives of various military factories under the Fifth Machinery Department are actually better than in 1980.
Especially the factories involved in providing supplies to Algeria suddenly became major export earners, and the situation naturally changed a lot.
Everyone also has money to import some equipment from overseas to transform the production line and further improve the entire process level.
In order to jointly fight polar bears, the United States has also relaxed controls on the export of many high-end equipment.
Especially after the polar bear conducted an exercise beyond everyone’s imagination, this trend became even more obvious.
"Director, our factory produced a total of 32,34 motorcycles last year, of which the BMW 70 produced the most, reaching 26,000, and the BMW S reached 3,300. There are more than 1,000 BMW Xs, and there are almost a thousand of them.”
“This output can firmly occupy the number one position in China.”
After New Year’s Day, inside the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory. A high-level summary meeting was quickly held.
Each department reviews last year's results and looks forward to this year's work.
As the head of sales and also the director of the production management department, Chen Chenxing first stood up and reported the sales data of BMW motorcycles to everyone.
As for sales, there is basically no need to say it, everyone can calculate it.
In just over a year, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory has gone from being on the verge of bankruptcy to becoming a major taxpayer and export earner. It is now a model factory of the First Machinery Department.
The production line, which was just put into operation in December last year, has a special visiting channel for leaders from all walks of life to use when visiting.
"Director, export orders contribute far more profits to the factory than domestic orders. I think in the new year, the focus of sales still needs to be on export earnings."
"In that case, even if it is settled according to the official exchange rate, Our income is still very good.”
Wu Ying, the Minister of Finance, does not plan to report the specific financial statements to everyone today. He will just show them to Jiang Hui in private.
But as for further increasing income, she will definitely bring it up through this important meeting.
“I heard that the development of the opposition forces in Afghanistan is pretty good. We will try to get part of the orders for the BMW 70 to assist Afghanistan this year.”
"Beyond that, it mainly relies on BMW S to make its presence felt in the Southeast Asian market."
Chen Chenxing naturally also wants to expand the scale of export earnings, which is very beneficial to individuals and factories.
“BMW Bongzi is also quite popular in the United States.
Especially for the three-bouncer that their factory currently produces, no other motorcycle company has the same type of product for the time being.
If it can sell several thousand units in the American market, it will definitely be very beneficial to increasing the influence of Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory.
If Jiang Hui himself didn't bring this up, no one else would dare to even think about it.
After all, in everyone’s understanding, if a country as developed as the United States cannot produce any motorcycle products, why import BMW X from China?
“There is no particular difficulty in selling BMW For clues, you may need to consider working with some dealers.”
Chen Chenxing suddenly felt a little dizzy.
He felt he had no confidence in selling BMW X to the United States.
But Jiang Hui said so, this matter definitely needs to be done.
“The United States is sparsely populated. Although the per capita car ownership is very high, vehicles such as pickup trucks that can carry people and transport goods are very popular.”
“But in some countries and In special use cases, three-wheelers like BMW X actually have good usage scenarios.”
"The most important thing is that using a tricycle does not require regular maintenance like a car, nor does it require insurance, and the fuel consumption is much lower."
"It is still very friendly to some low-income people in the United States. .”
Jiang Hui naturally knew that it would not be that easy to sell BMW X to the United States.
Especially now, various sales channels cannot be launched through the Internet like in later generations.
But everyone still needs to be aware of the situation in the American market.
Only when everyone is fully aware of the attractiveness of the American market will they be more active in doing so. Rather than proceeding in response to your own instructions and completing the task.
The effect is definitely far different.
“Our BMW I am engaged in this business.”
Hou Guoming is no longer afraid of letting everyone know about his future overseas relations.
After several years of reform, having overseas relations is no longer a bad thing, but something that makes everyone envious.
“Everyone is thinking of various ways together. I will also contact the people at General Motors to see if they know any dealers who are willing to sell motorcycles.”
Jiang Hui I feel that I can make good use of my resources in the United States and use various means together.
He won’t give up unless he sells BMW X to the United States.
"Director, we currently have a production capacity of 100,000 motorcycles. If we recruit and train workers in advance and produce uninterruptedly in three shifts, there will be no problem with an annual output of 150,000 motorcycles. Even You can try a higher possibility. ”
“Judging from the current sales momentum of BMW 70, BMW S and BMW What? At that time, we can even build a production line specifically for BMW X based on its production characteristics, so that our overall production efficiency can be further improved."
"At the same time, the First Machinery Department is already working on it. Help us purchase the land next to us. The relevant procedures are already in progress. It should be almost completed after the spring."
"When the construction of the family building starts, the construction of the new factory building will also begin. ”
“With the factory building, if we need to continue to expand the production line in the future, the time can be greatly shortened. ”
Li Zifu is now full of energy.
He was also the deputy director of the factory before, but he was not taken seriously wherever he went. After all, he was the director of a small factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and his influence was very limited.
But it’s completely different now.
Not to mention his different status in front of relatives and friends, he can speak in front of many people even in the streets, districts, and even the First Machinery Department.
The sense of accomplishment is difficult to describe in a few simple words.
Therefore, he is very active in continuously expanding the scale and influence of the factory.
“The factory can indeed be built. One hundred thousand vehicles is not our upper limit.”
“But since we are going to build a brand new factory and production line, we need to consider more.”
“In the future, our production capacity will definitely be towards 1 million, and we will strive to reach this goal within the next three years.”
“So we need to be more careful when planning our factory and arranging our production lines. Be bold and avoid having to adjust every year.”
Jiang Hui knows that in a few years, China's motorcycle industry will usher in a blowout period.
Many factories are not prepared, and there is definitely no way to fully enjoy this dividend.
Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory should be more proactive here, and they will be able to reap abundant fruits in due time.
“Should we look for opportunities to go abroad for inspection and see how Honda, Suzuki and other motorcycle giants plan their production lines.”
“As the largest motorcycle factory in China, I think they They should also be interested in discussing cooperation with us.”
Hou Guoming proposed a plan very boldly.
Instead of staying behind closed doors, it is better to go out and take a look.
Although Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is now the largest motorcycle factory in China, there is still a big gap compared with other international giants.
This point must also be faced squarely.
“You can try to contact us. It just so happens that those motorcycle giants also started to inspect and communicate with other domestic factories some time ago.”
"If we take the initiative to contact you, some companies may still be interested."
Jiang Hui agreed after thinking for a while.
It’s just a visit to someone’s production line. It’s not that sensitive, and the other party will most likely agree.
After all, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is also their potential partner.
At the same time, Jiang Hui also thought of something in his mind, and was preparing to arrange for BMW Technology to register some patents internationally.
When the time comes, the motorcycles exported from the Chaoyang Factory may infringe on some other people's patents, but if other people's motorcycles also infringe on BMW technology, the lawsuit can be slowly drawn out.
We even compromised with each other to avoid affecting the export earnings of BMW motorcycles.
