Chapter 312 Angry FAW
There is a widely circulated saying in later generations: "First-rate companies make standards, second-rate companies make brands, and third-rate companies make products."
The standards here refer to the technical standards of similar products, that is, enterprises with advanced production technology and processes use their own technical advantages to improve the product technical standards formulated by official and semi-official companies to a level that they can achieve but that their competitors cannot achieve. Level, block the opponent out of the field of product production, or at least lead the opponent by the nose, making it exhausted and in danger.
Huaxia standards are divided into national standards, industry standards, local standards and enterprise standards, and standards are divided into two categories: mandatory standards and recommended standards.
Among them, mandatory national standards (GB), recommended national standards (GB/T), national standard guiding technical documents (GB/Z), and national military standard code (GJB).
If BMW can turn its corporate standards into mandatory national standards, or even recommended national standards, it would definitely be a very impressive approach.
Hou Guoming obviously knows what's good. After hearing Jiang Hui's ideas, he became more enthusiastic about this matter.
Through this period of communication, the First Machinery Department is also very enthusiastic about promoting the establishment of the "Automotive Industry Standards Committee".
Soon, a formal preparatory group was established.
Zheng Haiming, the leader of the First Machinery Department, personally served as the leader of the preparatory team, and Qin Hao, Zhu Jiansheng and Chen Qi served as deputy team leaders respectively.
There is an office under this preparatory group. Jiang Hui directly served as the director of the office and invited Hou Guoming and several professors from Capital Institute of Technology to serve as deputy directors.
At the same time, in order to allow more automobile manufacturers to participate in this committee, Jiang Hui, in the name of the preparatory group, appointed contacts previously submitted by FAW, Second Automobile Works, Shanghai Automobile and other automobile manufacturers as office members.
With the establishment of the preparatory group, the responsibilities and purposes of this automotive industry standards technical committee have gradually become clear.
Other manufacturers are beginning to realize its power.
"Deputy Director Zhao, I'm sorry, the list of members of the preparatory team has been finalized. This has been discussed within the department."
"If FAW wants to arrange for higher-level personnel to participate, they can wait until the formal election in the future."
Qin Hao received a call from FAW early in the morning.
His level is the same as the deputy director of Zhao Guangming, so FAW asked Zhao Guangming to come forward to find him. Geng Weidong, the director of the factory, has not yet taken action.
However, Zhao Guangming would be so excited about this kind of thing, and he must have been criticized by Geng Weidong. He also asked higher-level personnel to join the preparatory team of this committee, which must also have Geng Weidong's intention.
Let's not talk about whether Geng Weidong, the factory director, will serve as a deputy team leader or something like that. At least the chief engineer of FAW must be on the committee.
In the past, FAW did not fully realize the significance of this automotive industry standards committee, and by the time it reacted, it was already a bit late.
That's why Zhao Guangming called Qin Hao in a hurry.
"No one in the preparatory team is from FAW. Who will vote for our FAW representative in the election?"
Zhao Guangming was not stupid, he saw Qin Hao's delaying tactics clearly at once.
He is also an old man, and he can clearly see the twists and turns behind various things.
FAW has no influence in the preparatory group, so it will be impossible for it to suddenly become very powerful in the formal organization in the future.
"Old Zhao, regarding the Automobile Industry Standards Committee, the Automobile Bureau has notified each automobile factory. Some factories attach more importance to and cooperate with the work of the Ministry, while others think it does not matter. This is everyone's choice."
“I hope FAW can support more work within the department in the future.”
Qin Hao was too lazy to argue with Zhao Guangming. The arrangements for the main leaders of the preparatory team had already been determined. How could he change it just because of a phone call from Zhao Guangming?
Let's not talk about whether he has any way to change it. Even if he can, he won't do it.
FAW had not been very obedient in the past, and he felt that he would take this opportunity to give them a good beating to avoid being dishonest in the future.
“In terms of understanding of the automotive industry, no domestic factory can match our FAW.”
“Isn’t it a waste to leave so many professional engineers without making good use of them?”
"The various standards formulated by then are not in line with the actual conditions of the factory, and will bring huge waste and trouble to the entire industry."
Zhao Guangming still wanted to fight for it again, but Qin Hao no longer had the patience to listen to him.
One of them had a meeting later, so he hung up the phone directly.
This made Zhao Guangming very angry.
When did the Automobile Bureau's attitude toward FAW become so bad?
"Director, I went to investigate and found out that the members of the preparatory group of the Automobile Industry Standards Committee, in addition to the leaders from the First Machinery Department, are mainly people from Capital Institute of Technology, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and BMW."
"There is definitely a shady secret here. Someone is operating behind the scenes and wants to take this opportunity to replace our factory's special position in China's automobile industry."
Zhao Guangming didn't settle the matter, so he must be looking for some excuse.
This is also a very common operation method in the workplace.
Geng Weidong looked ugly after hearing this.
He has been working at FAW for several years, but he has ideas and hopes to go further in the future.
If FAW's position in China's automobile industry continues to decline, then its future will definitely be a bit worrying.
This is unacceptable.
"Capital Institute of Technology?"
Geng Weidong is very familiar with it.
The major events in China's automobile industry in recent years are all related to the Capital Institute of Technology.
4MT gearbox, new generation 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, new BJ212, Hummer military vehicle...
These projects are all participated by professors or students from Capital University of Technology, making them one of the few projects that the Chinese automotive industry can produce.
"Yes, Zhu Jiansheng, the vice president of Capital University of Technology, directly served as the deputy team leader this time. He has a very good relationship with the other deputy team leader Chen Qi. He also had close contact with the team leader Zheng Haiming when they were developing the new BJ212 .”
"In addition, there are many professors and associate professors from their schools in the preparatory group. From now on, the standards committee will basically be decided by people from Capital Institute of Technology."
"And Zhu Jiansheng's son-in-law and protégé Jiang Hui is now the director of BMW Motors."
In fact, Geng Weidong also knew this information, Zhao Guangming just took it out and said it again.
There was no other way. He didn't know what to say if he didn't talk about these things.
He didn't have a solution, he could only take it one step at a time.
"That Jiang Hui is still the director of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, right?"
"He is considered a member of the system, but he went to the foreign-funded enterprise BMW to serve as the factory director concurrently. This kind of thing must be problematic."
"We have to respond properly to the First Machinery Department, and we can't let a speck of mouse droppings spoil the pot of soup."
Geng Weidong had always hoped to lure Jiang Hui to FAW, but he had never succeeded.
Now with the emergence of BMW, it is even more impossible for Jiang Hui to join FAW.
In this case, if you can't get something, you have to find a way to destroy it.
Otherwise, the competitors will be too strong and the threat to FAW will be great.
"Well, there is indeed something that can be done here."
"Not only is Jiang Hui's identity a problem, but also the fact that many technicians from the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory directly joined BMW after leaving their jobs is very problematic." "As long as we grasp this issue, we can definitely make Jiang Hui very uncomfortable. .”
Zhao Guangming had just received anger from Qin Hao, and now he wanted to find a punching bag.
The Automobile Industry Standards Committee was established at Jiang Hui's suggestion, and many relevant personnel have a very close relationship with Jiang Hui.
This naturally made Zhao Guangming hate Jiang Hui.
As soon as FAW took action, Jiang Hui quickly got the news.
"Xiao Jiang, Li Zifu from Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, how is your relationship with you?"
Qin Hao personally called Jiang Hui, obviously siding with Jiang Hui and wanting to help.
Regarding FAW's complaints and some rumors that suddenly popped up in the past few days, he could know what the other party was thinking without any evidence.
"It's okay. The other party has been relatively cooperative with my work in the past two years, and he doesn't have any other messy thoughts."
Jiang Hui didn't understand Qin Hao's purpose at first, so he chose his words carefully.
"You spend most of your time in Shenzhen now, focusing on BMW cars."
"Should we leave it to Li Zifu to take charge of the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory?"
"Anyway, as the deputy director of the factory, Fang Huihui can supervise Li Zifu at any time. There must be some people in the factory who are willing to listen to your orders."
Qin Hao did not beat around the bush with Jiang Hui, but directly stated his purpose.
Jiang Hui works in two special factories at the same time, and now that FAW has brought it to the table, it would be a bit embarrassing to continue like this.
Let Jiang Hui choose one of the two, which is an issue that must be considered.
"No problem. The development strategy of Chaoyang Factory has been formulated anyway. Li Zifu just needs to implement it properly."
"But this decision was suddenly made in the ministry. Did something happen?"
Jiang Hui was not stupid. There must be a reason why Qin Hao told him this inexplicably.
If you don't understand the situation clearly, you may be plotted against at some point.
"FAW specifically complained about this issue and wanted to go online, but leader Zheng suppressed it. He felt that the other party was playing the piano randomly."
"But at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, you can temporarily remove the position of director, which can be regarded as a way to reduce the heat on this matter."
"I'm worried that if FAW continues to mess around, some things about BMW technology will be processed and talked about indiscriminately, causing unnecessary trouble to everyone."
Qin Hao naturally knew the relationship between BMW Technology and Jiang Hui, although this situation did not violate anything.
But it’s easy for people to make a fuss about it.
By then, the First Machinery Department and Jiang Hui himself will be disgusted.
"BMW also produces trucks, and there is no direct competition with FAW Target. Why are they so excited now?"
Jiang Hui can't say he has any favorable impression or dissatisfaction with FAW.
Many factories in this era are technically unsatisfactory, and FAW is not the only one like this.
But now that the other party is actively provoking him, the situation becomes a little different.
"Not because of the Automobile Industry Standards Committee, but after realizing the importance of this committee, FAW hopes that its chief engineer can become the deputy leader of the preparatory group, or even directly serve as the leader."
< br>
"Isn't this obviously picking peaches?"
Qin Hao is also a little dissatisfied with FAW's relatively strong approach.
That was like a slap in the face.
He also wants to save face.
"As the big brother in the industry, if they want to carry out standardization work properly, they can take the lead in this matter in the early years."
"But they have never done any work in this area. They are afraid that if some things in the factory are made public, it will have a bad impact on themselves."
"Now that you have made this choice, just continue to stick to it honestly."
"What do they want to do with this approach now?"
After listening to Qin Hao's words, Jiang Hui felt a little speechless.
Although establishing our own automobile industry standards committee has some special purposes, it is normal for it to arouse the vigilance of other car manufacturers such as FAW.
But it’s really a little uncomfortable to not do it yourself and not see others do it.
"This is the truth, but I don't want to reason with you properly."
“If someone pops up every now and then to disgust you, that’s also very annoying.”
When Qin Hao said this, Jiang Hui naturally understood the situation very well.
If FAW wants to have trouble with itself, then there is no need to be polite.
Although it is impossible to bring down or destroy the other party, it is perfectly normal to make the other party feel very uncomfortable.
"Dad, based on the strategic missile launch vehicle, the school can develop a heavy-duty truck, and then directly free up a factory in the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory to specialize in the production of heavy-duty trucks."
“The Three Automotive Vehicles project that was previously shelved by the First Machinery Ministry was also intended to introduce heavy truck projects.”
"This shows that there are still many dissatisfactions with the current products of FAW and Second Automobile Works."
FAW's main product now is Jiefang trucks.
As long as a substitute appears in this market, FAW's life will immediately become difficult.
Of course, it is unrealistic to defeat the other party.
Blocking their future development path first will definitely be enough for the other party to drink from it.
Competition for trucks will also become fierce in the future, and only heavy-duty trucks can maintain a relatively good profit.
Once the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory occupies this track, it will not be so easy for other manufacturers to enter.
"Our school can indeed engage in the heavy truck market, but it will take more time and will also cause some rebound from FAW and Second Automobile Works."
Zhu Jiansheng immediately talked about the crux of the problem, but Jiang Hui was obviously not worried about this at all, "FAW has already complained to me specifically from the First Machinery Department. Do I still need to consider their ideas?"
Originally, Zhu Jiansheng wanted to objectively and rationally analyze the pros and cons of this matter before making a decision.
But after hearing what Jiang Hui said, his attitude immediately changed, "Then quickly launch the heavy truck project."
