More than half an hour later, the group's legal department produced a car purchase contract. After Wang Cuncai and Wei Haifeng reviewed and confirmed it, Political Commissar Wang readily signed the contract and stated his position on the spot:
Every time a car is produced, the payment is received.
After Political Commissar Wang left, Zhao Yuncheng said with disdain:
"I think the Public Security Bureau is a bunch of stingy people. They wouldn't even give me one."
He drove away.
Taking advantage of the fact that most people were present, Wang Cuncai called together the leaders and experts in vehicle manufacturing for a meeting. Sun Zongyuan only then noticed that Chairman Xu Rui was also present.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm not sure if the group has factored in the workers' wages and management performance bonuses."
"Mayor Sun, we have come up with a plan and have reported it to Chairman Xu Rui. We will report to you later. Let's see when you are free," Wang Cuncai replied.
"How about tonight? Everyone, please take the trouble. I get busier towards the end of the year. Please understand!"
"Okay, let's arrange an overtime meal for the office staff. We'll eat at six and report at seven. How about that?"
"Okay, you arrange it."
"Let's use this hour before dinner to talk about car production."
Everyone spoke, and Sun Zongyuan summarized the notes to a few questions:
The talent issue is an eternal one, requiring the recruitment of talent and joint training with research institutes;
As for the workers’ problem, we can find a way to dig it out;
As for technological issues, we must invest in R&D in domestic research institutes and keep them in our own hands;
Regarding the production line issue, we can import a production line from abroad and use the remaining products. The domestic market has not yet been fully opened. We can then conduct reverse research and development when sales volume increases.
For supporting issues, such as vehicle frames, axles, engines, etc., the provincial government will coordinate them. If coordination cannot solve the problem, national coordination will be implemented.
Regarding the accessories issue, after detailed analysis and determination of the technical requirements, bidding will be conducted in the Ganhe area.
As for the production license issue, it is estimated that the province will step in to resolve it. We will wait for another three months. If it is not resolved, we will try to rent a car manufacturer. In this era, private enterprises cannot merge with state-owned enterprises. The opportunity will only be opened after President Zhu takes office.
Regarding the production base, we chose 1,000 acres in the Fushan Industrial Park as the production base. The first phase of 500,000 square meters was built after the year, and the second phase of 1 million square meters was started in 1990.
Regarding the new product issue, Sun Zongyuan casually drew three renderings of the 1.8-liter sedan: a streamlined body from the side, a full front face, and a stable trunk.
Everyone was very surprised by the appearance, and some people pointed out that the technical requirements for body sheet metal manufacturing would be much higher and the production difficulty would be much greater.
Sun Zongyuan means to register a utility invention patent to fix the results.
Regarding the funding issue, after the group company made a budget, Hong Kong Yuanda Industrial Co., Ltd. invested 51%, and the group company raised the rest on its own.
The final question is: The Public Security Bureau needs to coordinate with the supporting manufacturer to complete production within the first ten days before the Spring Festival to serve as a demonstration and driving force. We anticipate that other public security and law enforcement agencies will also purchase vehicles after the Spring Festival. At the same time, we need to set aside a large factory for pre-production, with parts for at least 500 vehicles to be prepared in the first quarter. We can also continue to develop upgraded versions of the Dawei van, including air conditioning, power steering, and voice-activated reverse parking.
Reversing radar cannot be produced in this era, and a large screen is also out of the question.
Sun Zongyuan thought about it again and made arrangements:
"Give the Anyang County Party Committee and County Government six vehicles for staff use. Fushan Town should also provide six vehicles, 15,000 yuan each. Consider them free advertising for us. Our group will also use some. Old Wang, you two can discuss how many to use."
"For the vehicles destined for the county and town, just complete the manufacturing process before the 20th day of the first lunar month. From now on, everyone who buys them will pay 29,800 yuan each. If a high-ranking official comes to me and I can't refuse, I'll waive 1,000 yuan. Let's agree on a common denominator!"
"A Daihatsu in Tianjin sells for more than 40,000 yuan. Shouldn't we sell it cheaper? I think adding another 3,000 or 5,000 yuan would be fine," said Wei Haifeng.
"What are your opinions?" Sun Zongyuan asked.
"We have discussed this issue privately. Tianjin Daihatsu has the same power as ours, but its interior is not as spacious as ours, and its exterior is not as beautiful as ours. I think the unified external selling price can be raised to around 5,000 yuan. Those who buy it can afford the 5,000 yuan, and those who don't want to buy it may not buy it even if the price is reduced." General Manager Qian Weifeng replied.
"Okay, then, let's do as you say. Oh, and the exterior must be painted with baking varnish. We can make it in a few different colors, like red, silver, and black, to suit customers with different preferences."
Sun Zongyu thought again: I felt that I was very ruthless. I was very satisfied with making 5,000 or 6,000 yuan from a car, which means a net profit of 50 or 60 million yuan a year. I didn’t expect that everyone’s hearts were even more ruthless. The net profit of a car would be close to 15,000 yuan. Then the net profit this year would be 150 million yuan, and next year it would be 450 million yuan. This is a huge amount of money!
After the meeting and dinner, another small meeting was held, attended by Chairman Xu Rui, President Wang Cuncai and General Manager Qian Weifeng.
This meeting is mainly to announce the management's year-end assessment results and performance assessment bonuses.
For management, salaries are spent on daily expenses, and the year-end performance bonus is what they take home to their wives.
The plan was proposed by Xu Ruihui, Wang Cuncai and Qian Weifeng, and the report was also made by Xu Rui.
It is generally feasible. It rewards the diligent and punishes the lazy, and also takes into account the actual situation of the research and development of several key projects. In fact, it is mainly because several people in the group company are difficult to arrange. If the group company is settled, there will naturally be no problems in the branch factories. Sun Zongyuan recognizes the character and ability of these people in the group company.
Sun Zongyuan signed the meeting minutes.
On the morning of the third day, Wei Haifeng brought a technician to the Party Committee to report the details of auto parts.
Sun Zongyuan opened the file and saw that it was a detailed list of spare parts for the Jiewei van. There were about 500 spare parts, printed into a thick book.
Sun Zongyuan took a quick look and asked them:
"How much of this can we process in Fushan Town? How much can we process in the region? How much needs to be processed elsewhere?"
The technician was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He glanced at Wei Haifeng, who nodded for him to answer.
"We don't know much about the production and processing capabilities of the Ganhe area, but I have a hypothesis. Is it correct?"
"It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want to say!" Sun Zongyuan said casually.
"My idea is this: We have a lot of skilled workers in various fields, but some of them may not be needed for the next large-scale production. Why not let them run a small factory to provide supporting services for us? Our company will provide some funds to purchase equipment upfront. The industrial park has ready-made factories, and we will provide the technology and funds. We can recruit a few workers to start production, and we will strictly control the production quality. This way, it will be considered the group's factory. They will share the profits and losses, and they can also get some technology shares to increase their income."
