Chapter 293 Old product, new product? "Electric Chicken" arrived in advance
"Xiao Jiang, why are you suddenly interested in the Peiping Battery Factory?"
"I have been in contact with this factory before, but is there any problem? There is a lot of historical baggage.”
BMW Technology’s acquisition of a factory in China is a very special matter and will definitely cause considerable discussion among relevant departments.
So Jiang Hui told Zhu Jiansheng directly in advance.
“There are indeed many problems, but they can all be solved with money.”
“Among the technicians at the Peiping Battery Factory, more than 20 are college students in the 1950s and 1960s, and there are even a few One is a college student during the Republic of China."
"The technical level of these people is very good, but due to limited funds, there is no stage for their talents to be displayed."
"For me. , rather than acquiring the Peiping battery factory, it is more about taking a fancy to their technical team and existing production capacity."
"Whether it is BMW or Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, they are all right. There is a relatively large demand for batteries.”
It's normal for the father-in-law to have questions, so Jiang Hui can explain it to him slowly.
Anyway, to enter the battery industry, this matter must be started in advance.
The Peiping Battery Factory has a long history. It seems like a burden now, but when it develops and grows in the future, this will be another advantage.
When promoting to the outside world, you can tell us how long your development history is and how many years of technology accumulation you have, which will give people a completely different feeling.
“There must be dozens of factories that can make car batteries and motorcycle batteries, not to mention 100.”
“You don’t have to go to the Peiping Battery Factory to purchase it.”
“Besides, even for the batteries on current BMW motorcycles, only part of the BMW S uses products from the Peiping Battery Factory, right? ”
Zhu Jiansheng is not so easy to persuade.
Especially what Jiang Hui wants to do is unprecedented in the country.
Foreign capital’s acquisition of state-owned factories will definitely be more sensitive.
You must know that when the General Motors inspection team came to China for inspection, no one dared to judge the joint venture mentioned. In the end, after the chief engineer personally gave instructions, the joint venture path was considered available.
Now that Jiang Hui wants to go further and directly acquire domestic factories, there will definitely be some twists and turns.
Zhu Jiansheng undoubtedly did not want this to happen.
Especially since Zhu Lin is pregnant again recently, Jiang Hui will be the father of two children by then, and there is no need to do so many risky things.
“The domestic battery industry is indeed blossoming everywhere now, with various factories.”
"I want to make the battery industry an important development direction of BMW technology in the future. Various battery products such as lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries can be used as key research directions in the future."
"Especially lithium batteries, America There are many experts in Japan, England and Japan who are studying it. Everyone generally believes that this will be the direction of future development, but domestic research in this area is still relatively weak. "
Jiang Hui feels that it is still necessary to follow up. Zhu Jiansheng mentioned the matter of lithium batteries.
This is the trump card product of the future.
As long as it is done well, it will also affect the national economy and people's livelihood.
"If BMW Technology wants to get involved in the battery industry, it does not necessarily need to acquire factories from China."
Zhu Jiansheng still doesn't quite understand.
No way, it is too troublesome for foreign capital to acquire domestic factories these days.
“Although BMW Technology is a company in Hong Kong, our various factories must take root in the mainland and be deployed in the capital, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places.”
“Acquiring a Domestic factories with high technical content are the easiest way to do this. ”
“Especially I plan to launch electric bicycles at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, which will increase the importance of batteries to a very high level.”
“If you don’t have your own battery factory, The core components are equivalent to being in the hands of others, which is unacceptable."
When Jiang Hui said this, Zhu Jiansheng's attention was diverted.
“Electric bicycle?”
Zhu Jiansheng is a veteran in the automobile industry.
Bicycles are closely related, and he immediately thought of electric vehicles.
In 1881, Frenchman Gustave Truve built the world's first electric tricycle, which is regarded as the starting point of electric vehicles.
It can be said that using batteries to drive machinery is not an innovative idea.
Many people abroad were already doing this 100 years ago.
Even early cars were mostly electric cars, and fuel cars were just latecomers.
This is probably something that many people don't know.
"Yes, I think electric bicycles are very promising. As long as they are done well, they can be compared with motorcycles in the future." Jiang Hui has a strong say in the "electric chickens" that will fill the streets in the future. of.
No matter whether this product is good or not, the production scale is really large and the number of users is really large.
Historically, in 1983, China's first recorded and productive two-wheeled electric bicycle was successfully developed by the Shanghai Bicycle Factory No. 2.
This car is equipped with a 150w column motor and a 24v ordinary lead-acid battery for cars.
Although limited by the technical conditions at the time, this two-wheeled electric vehicle had a cruising range of less than 30 kilometers and poor climbing ability, making it difficult to completely replace mainstream bicycles, but it marked the beginning of China's two-wheeled electric vehicle The beginning of the industry.
Calculating the time, there is a high probability that Shanghai Bicycle Factory No. 2 has already started researching electric bicycles.
If Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory wants to steal the title of China's first electric bicycle, it must speed up.
“With the current battery and motor technology, even if you produce an electric bicycle, the performance will definitely not be very good.”
"It may become a criticized product by then."
I have to say that Zhu Jiansheng's statement is very reasonable.
Electric bicycles have been available in China since 1983, but in fact the large-scale popularity of electric bicycles only happened after 2010.
A big reason for this is that the technology of batteries and motors is not enough to support the performance improvement of electric bicycles.
Including electric vehicles, the situation is actually similar.
A large number of electric vehicles were produced a hundred years ago, but before 2000, few automobile giants in the world were producing electric vehicles on a large scale.
It was not until after 2010, or even after 2020, that electric vehicles began to become popular on a large scale.
The key reason for this is naturally the impact of battery and motor technology.
“Because battery and motor technology are not good enough, I want to take this opportunity to let BMW Technology make efforts in these two fields.”
“Let’s start with the battery of electric bicycles. Starting with motors, we will further produce engine starter motors and other products. In the future, motors will also become a key product of BMW technology and BMW motors will become famous brand products.”
Jiang Hui was so insistent that Zhu Jiansheng could naturally feel his attitude.
Since my son-in-law is optimistic about the battery and motor industry, there is no need for him to continue to oppose it. "Okay, then you first communicate with the First Machinery Department. If it is difficult to acquire the Peking Battery Factory, find another one. It can also be considered.”
After communicating with his family about the acquisition of the Peiping battery factory, Jiang Hui quickly took Fang Huihui, the deputy general manager of BMW Technology, to visit Qin Hao.
"Retired personnel, are you all irresponsible?"
Qin Hao looked at BMW Technology's plan very seriously, with a hint of worry on his face.
"Qin Bureau, I estimate that no foreign investment company will be willing to agree to continue to support retired personnel in the future. This should be a matter that the relevant departments should be responsible for."
"BMW Technology's plan, in addition to being irresponsible, In addition to the retired personnel, the existing factory personnel are willing to accept it all. They are older engineers with relatively high salaries. They can also promise not to fire any of them and keep them working until retirement. These can be written into the contract. ”
“In addition, BMW Technology can also promise that the turnover of the Peking Battery Factory can be increased immediately after the acquisition and make some contributions to local tax revenue. ”
“And they will also purchase advanced equipment from the United States and Japan to improve the technical level of China’s battery industry.”
“To put it bluntly, the price paid by BMW Technology is actually You can consider building a new battery factory in Hong Kong City.”
Today is a report and a negotiation.
Jiang Hui definitely cannot view this acquisition plan completely from Qin Hao's perspective, otherwise he will probably have to make many unacceptable compromises.
“Of course I can understand what you said, but do you only promise that those engineers can work until they retire? What about the workers?”
Qin Hao knew the biggest problem after foreign capital acquired the factory. It means whether workers will get up and cause trouble.
No matter what era it is, when thousands of people show up to cause trouble, it is definitely a headache for leaders.
Especially since this kind of thing also involves selling a factory, the relevant handling personnel will be labeled as such if they are not careful. This is a situation that Qin Hao does not want to see.
“As long as workers are qualified for the job after passing the assessment, we can always keep them in the Peiping Battery Factory.”
“But for some workers who do not have any skills and do not obey orders, For those who are unwilling to learn and still fail after being given certain opportunities to improve, we will return them to the First Machinery Department.”
Jiang Hui knows that directly firing workers will cause them to lose their iron jobs. This approach was definitely not approved by everyone in 1982.
So when signing a contract, it is necessary for the First Machinery Department to fully understand the work of the relevant workers.
But the First Machinery Department definitely didn't want to lay a big thunder for themselves.
If the Peiping Battery Factory fires out hundreds of workers, where will they arrange their jobs?
“I want to report your plan to the leaders.”
“Some details need to be discussed carefully.”
Qin Hao knows Jiang Hui’s The plan is actually sincere.
From the assessed acquisition amount, it can be seen that BMW Technology is not trying to take advantage.
