A group of people came to the research institute of Yuanda Group. The main construction of Yuanda Group’s headquarters building has been completed and is now entering the interior decoration stage, so the group company still has offices in the same yard as the research institute.
As soon as he got off the car, Political Commissar Wang asked hurriedly:
"Where's the car? I want to see it!"
Group President Wang Cuncai, General Manager Qian Weifeng, Vice President Wei Haifeng and others came out to greet them. As soon as they sat down in the small conference room, Political Commissar Wang asked:
"Can we look at the car first? We can have tea and talk about other things later?"
Sun Zongyuan looked at Qian Weifeng, and Qian Weifeng said:
"We've produced a total of seven vans, four of which and six agricultural vehicles are currently undergoing nationwide testing. We estimate that all the tests that need to be completed will be completed in two months. We will promptly report any problems that arise and study and rectify them. We currently have three vehicles at home that have been rectified based on the tests, but two are on the workbench and only one has just been rectified. Let's go take a look together!"
Led by Wei Haifeng, several people hurried to the workshop.
The Mechanical Research Institute is now a large factory with ten large factory buildings. People come in and out from time to time, and you can see what equipment they are producing inside from the gate.
After walking for ten minutes, everyone arrived at a relatively large factory building with several workbenches and some machinery, equipment and other materials placed in the corners.
Two vans, mostly dismantled into parts, were parked on the workbench, and a complete van was placed under the workbench.
The appearance of this van was designed based on Sun Zongyuan's opinions. The previous Tianjin Daihatsu van had a flat front, which was not beautiful and did not meet the requirements of aerodynamics. This time, Sun Zongyuan borrowed the style of the previous best-selling Wuling Zhiguang. The front face is a slope like a car, which not only looks good but also reduces wind resistance and saves fuel.
Liu Mingzeng, who was working on site, opened the car door as requested by Wang Cuncai. Everyone came forward to look inside and saw that although it was still a bit dirty, the installation was basically completed.
Sun Zongyuan asked Liu Mingzeng:
"Mingzeng, can you move a little so the leaders can experience it?"
"Wait a minute, I'll add some gas and it'll start!"
Liu Mingzeng arranged for a young worker to go out and bring back a barrel of gasoline. After adding it in, Liu Mingzeng got in the car, turned on the engine, and slowly drove out.
Everyone followed and came to the outside of the factory. There was a test site of more than 20 acres outside the factory. It was uneven and winding. One could tell from the road that the test site was often used.
Liu Mingzeng drove the car, first running a lap slowly, then slightly speeding up and running another lap, and finally running a fast lap on a flat road, and then stopped in front of everyone.
When he opened the car door and got out to introduce it to everyone, Political Commissar Wang got in the car directly, closed the door and was about to drive. Liu Mingzeng hurriedly ran to the passenger seat and guided Political Commissar Wang to test drive.
Political Commissar Wang drove the car five times, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, and sometimes suddenly braked. He got out of the car and said,
"This car is great. If it's this good, let's sign the contract now!"
"Commissar Wang, the rear fascia hasn't been installed, the seats haven't been installed, and the paint hasn't been applied yet!"
Liu Mingzeng is the deputy chief engineer of the vehicle, and no one understands the characteristics of this car better than him.
"These are no problem. I believe you will install them. As for the exterior paint, you can just paint it according to the police car style, saving the cost of repainting."
Zhao Yuncheng said:
"Old Wang, if you don't check carefully, what if Zong Yuan kid tricks you?"
"A car like this is more practical than the bread we spent 100,000 yuan on. How much more can he cheat me out of a 15,000 yuan car?"
Political Commissar Wang said confidently.
"But you should also take a cue from the interior configuration of the police car. Install window grilles, keep the back seats, and remove the middle seat. It will be more convenient for criminals in the future."
Political Commissar Wang thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, Political Commissar Wang, we'll work overtime tonight to get it done."
"Mingzeng, make it tonight, and tomorrow we'll drive to the county public security bureau to see everyone's reaction!"
Sun Zongyuan arranged.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. The painting will take a little time, but baking it overnight will be no problem."
After returning to the small conference room and everyone sat down, Zhao Yuncheng asked:
"Does this car have a name? I'm not sure how many of these cars can be produced per month."
"Oh, Mr. Wei, please send a copy of this car's specifications to County Magistrate Zhao and Political Commissar Wang."
"Secretary Zhao, the cars produced by our group are uniformly branded as Jetta. This car is the first generation of the first model, so we call it the Jetta Micro Wagon, or the Jetta 88 Van for short."
Sun Zongyuan knew that the Jetta brand was a car jointly produced by China's FAW and Germany's Volkswagen, but it was not launched on the market until 1991. The name was in line with Chinese aesthetics: reaching the destination quickly and victoriously, which meant good luck!
Let's use this Jetta first, and then produce Jetta sedans, Jetta SUVs, Jetta business station wagons, and Jetta electric vehicles to build a big brand. I don't believe that if Yuanda Group occupies it first, the German joint venture will snatch it away.
"The materials we have prepared can produce 23 more vehicles. It will take about half a month to manufacture them. If we want to mass-produce them, with the current production technology, we can produce 50 vehicles a day."
Wei Haifeng replied.
"It just so happens that several of us in charge of the machinery sector are here. My suggestion is that the research institute and Shandong University should speed up the development of production processes and production lines. If we use the same process level as other domestic automobile manufacturers, our production capacity and quality control will lag far behind. I'll set a plan for everyone: produce 10,000 vehicles this year, 30,000 next year, and at least 50,000 the year after. Everyone should study it and strive to solve the problems of process and production lines as soon as possible. Focus on the world. If domestic production lines or key equipment are not up to standard, we can purchase them globally to improve our manufacturing level."
"Okay, we will work hard to implement it and give you a half implementation plan later." Wang Cuncai replied.
Sun Zongyuan waved to Wei Haifeng, and the two went out.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Sun Zongyuan quietly asked Wei Haifeng:
"Old Wei, is there any problem with the supporting factory?"
"There's nothing wrong with the axle. It was transferred from a military factory to us. The frame was produced by a provincial machinery factory, but I'm afraid their production capacity won't be able to keep up with our production speed. Their press only has a 2,000-ton capacity, and our design requires at least 3,000 tons. 4,600 yuan per set is a bit expensive. We calculated that 3,500 yuan per set is the normal price."
"There are also sheet metal products produced by local machinery factories, which are all hand-cut and hand-welded. The specifications and welding quality cannot be guaranteed, and the price is a bit expensive."
"How much does a car cost at today's prices?"
"The preliminary cost is RMB 10,000. If we increase production and reduce costs, the cost will be around RMB 20,000."
Sun Zongyu thought: The 30,000 yuan I announced to the public seems to be feasible. I can set the factory price at yuan and the unified sales price at 30,000 yuan, so the profit is still good.
