Chapter 274 Half of the Country, Chaoyang Factory’s Road to Motorcycle Overlord
“Director Jiang, you are the noble person of our Fifth Machinery Department. Relying on the combination with the motorcycles of your factory, several of our military factories have The dilemma of poor management has been reversed. Now, despite the lack of funds, the business is booming. "
As the deputy director of the Fifth Machinery Department, this is not the first time that Sun Xiangfeng has met Jiang Hui.
This time, after he learned about the contact from the First Machinery Department, he immediately arranged for an inspection at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
Although we are not in the same system, we have cooperated many times.
He also wanted to go to the site to see why Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory could always create miracles.
“Americans are willing to pay to purchase our BMW X and other products. The most important thing is that our brother factories in the Fifth Machinery Department can provide weapons and equipment to the Afghan opposition.”
” Otherwise, our motorcycles can’t be used to fight polar bears.”
It’s natural to be more modest at this time.
Anyway, the biggest benefit has been taken by Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
This time, the price of each set of orders for BMW X with mortars and other military products reached US$3,500.
Of course, how Smith and others report prices to the country has nothing to do with Jiang Hui.
Of the 3,500 US dollars, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory took away 2,500 US dollars, leaving only 1,000 US dollars for the relevant factories of the Fifth Machinery Department.
Even this 1,000 US dollars is enough to attract various factories to grab orders.
Because at this price, the mortars and other products they produce are very profitable.
Not to mention the special contribution of exports to earn foreign exchange.
Not to mention US$1,000, but actually US$500, and there are still people rushing to cooperate with Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
“I heard that the plan to cooperate with the United States, where they provide funds and we provide products, to jointly support the Albanian opposition, was you proposed in the first place?”
Sun Xiangfeng’s level The information that can be known about the characters is naturally very rich.
Especially since these contents have a certain relationship with the Fifth Machinery Department, it will be easier for him to understand.
"This idea was actually first mentioned by my teacher, Professor Zhu Jiansheng of the Capital Institute of Technology, on a certain occasion, and then I applied it."
"Finally, it was led by the Ministry of Machinery and other ministries. It was only implemented after joint planning.”
Jiang Hui took Sun Xiangfeng to visit the production situation of BMW motorcycles in the workshop.
BMW 70 and BMW X are now products produced in cooperation with the United States to aid Afghanistan.
BMW S has now also opened up the Southeast Asian market and begun to earn foreign exchange through exports as normal civilian products.
This is very rare.
A large number of military factories in the Fifth Machinery Department are currently promoting military-to-civilian projects. There are also factories that want to produce motorcycles and other products.
Sun Xiangfeng's visit this time can be regarded as a kind of research.
“Anyway, your Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory has made a great contribution to our export earnings and has also driven the development of brother factories. If there were more factories like yours in the country, what would the situation be? It’s completely different.”
Overall, the factories under the Fifth Machinery Department are still under great pressure.
However, thanks to aid to Afghanistan and the gradual opening up of some arms deals with Baghdad and Persia, the current situation is much better than at the same time in history.
This change is not simply a question of improving the operating conditions of a few factories, but a question of the direction and intensity of the entire reform.
Since the reform, the entire Chinese economy has achieved rapid development, which has further strengthened the determination of relevant departments to increase reform and accelerate reform.
This situation is a little different from the same period in history.
“Leader, in fact, many products produced by our domestic military factories can be found in some application scenarios around the world.”
"Although overall, the technical level of our products is still far behind the international advanced level, our prices are cheap."
"Not all countries can afford advanced and expensive weapons. We Various firearms, ammunition, artillery, tanks and other products can be found in the Middle East, Africa and other countries to find better export opportunities.”
Since Sun Xiangfeng came to inspect, Jiang Hui didn’t mind helping Wu. The factories affiliated to the Machinery Department made some suggestions.
The development of the entire military industry has become smoother, and the resistance to reform will naturally be much smaller.
This is also a good thing for Jiang Hui.
After all, many of the things he has to do have a certain relationship with the overall environment.
If only Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory develops well, but a large number of other factories close down or operate poorly during the reform process, then there will inevitably be many different voices coming out. This is something Jiang Hui does not want see the situation.
On the other hand, the situation is completely different.
“Your suggestion is very good. Some of our comrades had too rigid ideas in the past. They didn’t know how to proactively sell products to customers and just waited for others to come to them.”
< br>“This is something they should learn from your factory.”
Sun Xiangfeng is also a leader who has been promoted step by step from the grassroots level, and he is relatively familiar with the situation of many factories.
Since the production tasks of each military factory were previously arranged by the superior department, the various products produced were also directly coordinated and arranged. For factory personnel, more production and less production have no impact, and they have never thought of actively selling their products to overseas users.
Now that the situation has changed, the operating conditions of many factories have deteriorated immediately.
It would be best if this situation could be further improved significantly.
"Thank you for your praise, leader. We just haven't figured it out before. As long as we figure it out, many things will be easier to handle."
Jiang Hui and Sun Xiangfeng communicated happily.
But for other motorcycle manufacturers, the mood is not pleasant at all.
“Director, our factory used to produce military products, but now the military has been converted to civilian production and it is starting to produce motorcycles. Logically speaking, we are the most suitable company to cooperate with the United States to assist Afghanistan.”
“In the past two years, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory has taken the lead. Their BMW ”
"I think we can also report to the ministry and ask the ministry to include our Jialing Honda 70 in cooperation with the United States?"
Yuan Zhiwei is feeling very uncomfortable now.
Obviously they are a well-established military factory, so why can’t they get a piece of meat?
Especially products such as guns, bullets and bullets are what Jialing Factory is best at.
In the 1960s, they also pioneered the bullet production technology of "replacing copper with steel", which greatly reduced the cost of bullet production.
These things must be urgently needed by the Albanian opposition.
“In the past few years, a large number of military factories have been built on the first, second and third lines. There are a lot of factories in the ministry that need help.”
“If we come to the door rashly, there will be no What's the result?"
"It's better to have a good communication with Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory and see how we can develop together to avoid vicious competition and ultimately lose both sides."
I have to say. , Yin Zhiguo’s idea is still very insightful.
The Jialing Honda 70 motorcycle currently produced by their factory is a direct competitor to the BMW 70 motorcycle in the market.
The various performances of the two are very similar, and the prices are also very close.
Now that the market is in a situation where supply exceeds demand, everything is fine for the time being.
However, as the production capacity of Jialing and Chaoyang factories is expanding, and other motorcycle factories are constantly launching new products, the market structure will definitely change a lot by then.
In particular, Yin Zhiguo knew that in Shuangqing City alone, there were already some collective enterprises planning to compete with Jialing Honda 70 and produce motorcycles themselves.
The cost of motorcycles produced by these factories will most likely be lower.
In order to develop, they will definitely continue to reduce prices to increase sales. This will not be a good thing for Jialing Factory and Chaoyang Factory.
“This method works, but I don’t know what the attitude of the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory will be.”
Yuan Zhiwei is a little unsure about the situation at the Chaoyang Factory and is worried. Sometimes I got a closed door.
“Aren’t they building a new phase of factory buildings? It is said that after the construction of these factories is completed, they will have an annual production capacity of 300,000 motorcycles, and may expand to an annual output of 500,000 motorcycles in the future. scale.”
"Today, the combined output of all other motorcycle manufacturers in China was only 50,000 or 60,000 units last year, and at most 89,000 units this year."
"But the Chaoyang factory's output this year will most likely go down. To more than 100,000 units, they account for half of China’s motorcycle market.”
“If this development trend is maintained, Chaoyang Factory will become the overlord of China’s motorcycle industry. "
"In this case, regardless of whether we cooperate or not, we need to go over to investigate and learn. "
Yin Zhiguo is not deliberately trying to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige.
The development momentum of Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is really too strong.
BMW 70, BMW S, BMW X, each product is a classic and sells very well.
The Jialing Factory is still consuming foreign exchange, but it is a large exporter of foreign exchange.
Especially during this period, the BMW X, which Yin Zhiguo did not like very much, unexpectedly became popular. A large export order of 30,000 units was signed in one go, which brought huge impact to the Chinese motorcycle industry. impact.
It turns out that earning foreign exchange through export is not that difficult.
It turns out that producing motorcycles has great potential.
It turns out that the simple "Three Jumps" are also very popular abroad.
All of a sudden, various motorcycle manufacturers have accelerated the launch of their products.
Some factories that were still struggling with whether to launch motorcycle projects have also accelerated the implementation of motorcycle projects.
The entire motorcycle industry in China has ushered in a period of rapid development.
