Chapter 278: Make You Desperate
After Jiang Hui discussed with everyone the relevant matters arranged by the personnel of the BMW R&D Center, everyone immediately started to take action.
In just one week, more than 200 people from the R&D center of Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory chose to join BMW.
Of course, the remaining people are not hesitating, but BMW has higher requirements for technicians than Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, so you can't just go if you want to.
In this way, everyone became more interested in joining BMW.
After all, if your salary is at least doubled and you can get a unit with at least two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen, how many of you are not tempted?
Even if they lose their so-called iron rice bowl because of this, many people don’t care.
In particular, many people joined Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory and took internal retirement from the original factory. They are considered retirees.
There is no such concept as an iron rice bowl or an iron rice bowl.
Anyway, you don’t have to worry about not having any retirement salary to draw in the future.
"Xiao Jiang, BMW Technology established BMW Auto in Shenzhen and wants to develop its own cars. What do you think about this?"
Shenzhen has promised to help BMW Technology complete the relevant procedures for BMW Auto, and is obviously already taking action.
Otherwise Zheng Haiming would not have suddenly called Jiang Hui over for questioning.
Of course, people at Zheng Haiming's level naturally know some of the relationship between BMW Technology and Jiang Hui.
In particular, Zhu Lin, the general manager of BMW Technology, is Jiang Hui’s wife and has now become a Hong Kong citizen. There is no way to hide this matter.
"Leader, the ministry is now supporting and encouraging the development of passenger cars. The sedan project of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant will be put into production soon. FAW and Shanghai Automobile are also planning to jointly produce sedans with international automobile giants such as Volkswagen."
“I think under this general background, the emergence of BMW is beneficial to the development of the domestic automobile industry.”
“And we are already discussing with Anglia about the port city It’s a matter of return. Enterprises in Hong Kong City are also our own enterprises in China.”
When Jiang Hui said this, Zheng Haiming knew his attitude very well.
At this time, there are actually no special express regulations in China regarding the restrictions on the establishment of automobile factories.
Of course, although there is no rule against you, it is still very challenging to go through all the procedures.
Otherwise, BMW Technology would not have asked Shen Cheng to help resolve various procedural issues.
More than ten years later, in order to protect the local automobile industry, China issued the "Automotive Industry Industrial Policy" in 1994, and the automobile industry began to implement a "catalog" management system.
This policy requires foreign capital to produce and sell cars in China through joint ventures, and states that "foreign parties cannot hold more than 50% of the shares in a joint venture car company."
In this context, even if BMW Technology is a Hong Kong-based enterprise, it is impossible to build a wholly-owned factory in Shenzhen.
Of course, the automobile giants outside still don't know much about China and have various worries in their hearts.
Now even if they are allowed to build a factory as a sole proprietor, they are unwilling.
Because they are worried about not being able to handle many policies and other matters. In fact, people's worries are not unreasonable.
So before 2010, basically few international automobile giants had any objections to China's policy.
It was only later that everyone got to know China very well, and the profit margin of automobiles in China was higher than the international average. Those international automobile giants were not willing to let another shareholder take half of their profits, and some began to appear. Different sounds.
Even so, it was not until the era of Tesla building a factory that the 50% shareholding limit was truly lifted.
"As far as I know, BMW Technology was established in Hong Kong City not long ago. It did not have any ability to design and produce cars before, nor did it have related factories?"
Zheng Haiming asked Jiang today Hui called over, obviously doing some homework.
To a certain extent, he is also checking the BMW project to avoid mistakes in the future.
“There is indeed no experience in this area before, but they have arranged for people to communicate with Suzuki Motor about purchasing automobile production lines, and are already forming a specific automobile design team.”
"This month, BMW's first product will be officially launched within the company. We strive to complete the design work within this year and start arranging sample production preparations next year."
Although Zheng Haiming knew that Jiang Hui and BMW Technology Jiang Hui also knew that Zheng Haiming knew about the relationship with BMW.
But there are some things that cannot be fully clarified for the time being, but we cannot say nothing.
“I heard that at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, more than 200 technicians chose to join BMW. Are these people going to develop the first model of BMW?”
< br>Without clarifying these things, Zheng Haiming is still worried about this project.
Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is now the star factory of the First Machinery Department, and there is no room for failure.
“It is indeed true. Our factory’s R&D center now has thousands of technicians. Even if more than 200 people go to BMW, it will not affect the development of the technical center.”
“Compared with other factories, our R&D personnel definitely have the highest proportion.”
Jiang Hui knew what Zheng Haiming was worried about, so he answered the questions directly.
Sure enough, after listening to Jiang Hui’s explanation, Zheng Haiming no longer struggled with this issue.
Originally, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory was poaching people on such a large scale, but he felt that it was a bit too much.
The directors of several factories, including the Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, began to cry and complain to the department during this period.
“Since your factory already has enough technical personnel, the recruitment of relevant personnel can be slowed down first, otherwise other factories will cause trouble for you again.”
Zheng Haiming After saying this, Jiang Hui knew that someone must be complaining about him again. But judging from Zheng Haiming's attitude, this matter is obviously not a big deal.
As long as Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory can continue to develop rapidly and maintain its position as the largest export-earning manufacturer in the capital region, then some complaints will not be a problem at all.
Besides, technicians are willing to go to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory rather than stay in the original factory. Does this mean that the original factory also needs to reflect on its own?
……
During the period when Zheng Haiming came to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory for inspection, the motorcycle market in the capital area, especially the tricycle market, also ushered in a very dramatic change. .
The launch of Shouma X initially attracted the attention of many people, who wanted to see what the outcome would be like if the Capital Motorcycle Factory and Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory competed together.
Many people even vaguely feel that Shomo X will win, after all, their price is 200 yuan cheaper.
For many people, cheap is king.
But Chen Chenxing personally led the sales staff and used various magical powers to quickly ruin the reputation of Shomo X.
High fuel consumption. Under the same usage scenario, the fuel consumption of Shomo X is 1.5 times that of BMW X.
These days, if ordinary people want to fill up with gasoline, they also need gasoline stamps.
So even if the price difference caused by fuel consumption is acceptable, many people are shaken when considering the impact of gas tickets.
The 200 yuan saved seems to be spent again on gasoline.
Another problem is the quality of Shouma X. Their engines are the same as the previous three-wheelers, and these three-wheelers are used in some powerful departments in the capital, and their reputation has not been very good. good.
As long as Chen Chenxing arranges for people to spread relevant content based on facts, people who want to buy Shomo X will hesitate.
After all, everyone buys a Shouma X to transport people or goods. If quality problems occur every once in a while, it will definitely be fatal.
It will delay yourself from making a lot of money. How can you bear this?
Especially after Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory introduced a one-year or 10,000-kilometer warranty policy, the situation has changed even more.
Basically few people are buying Shomo X in various stores.
Even for the products sold in the first few days, some people were clamoring to return them.
Xu Dachang is so worried that his hair is about to fall out.
"Old Tan, you need to think of a way quickly. You have to sell Shouma X, otherwise the parking lot will not be able to fit in it." They are all prepared based on monthly sales of 300 vehicles.
Even from the beginning, each supporting factory was notified to prepare in advance according to the planned output.
After nearly a month of intensive overtime production, their factory not only successfully completed the set production tasks, but also produced more than 500 additional vehicles.
This was originally a good thing, and it was also something that Xu Dachang had been emphasizing.
However, since its launch, Shouma X has sold less than 500 vehicles, and almost 3,000 more vehicles have been released in stock. The situation is completely different.
The most important thing is that various supporting factories are still preparing a steady stream of parts and components, which are being sent to the Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory as planned.
No wonder Xu Dashang is in a hurry now.
"Director, I know a lot about production and technology, but I have never been involved in selling motorcycles before."
Tan Xueqiang's heart is also feeling cold now.
Shomo X obviously failed.
More than 500 vehicles have been sold, and many people are clamoring to return them.
In this case, it is simply impossible to expect that subsequent sales will get better.
When the time comes, Shouma X will definitely bring huge losses to their factory and also to the supporting factories.
In state-owned enterprises, when such important problems arise, someone will most likely be found to take the blame.
As the director of the factory, Xu Darachang will definitely not be able to escape, but he is about to retire. If things go badly by then, Tan Xueqiang will probably be in trouble.
"Who has never been in sales before? Times are changing, and the department has always emphasized that we must change our concepts and promote reforms."
"We managers must also adapt to this situation in a timely manner. "For our factory, the most critical issue now is not how to produce motorcycles, but how to sell the Shouma X produced."
"Otherwise, we may not be able to pay wages in the second half of the year."
When Xu Da long said this, Tan Xueqiang became even more disheartened.
If wages cannot be paid, then the workers will definitely cause trouble.
When the superiors investigate, he, the chief engineer in charge of Shomo X, will definitely be slapped with a black eye.
Thinking of these...
Tan Xueqiang feels that he is hopeless!
