Asada Nobuo's enigmatic tone didn't last for more than a few seconds before he let out a huge sigh. "This real estate collapse is a devastating blow to Japan's economy. It's unlikely that Japan will see a ray of hope in the next few years. We've decided to try our luck in China. President Wan! I want to confirm what exactly we're here for."
President Wan? He became the president again?
"Making cars! Whatever you do in Japan, you can do it here. I won't even ask you to make fried dough sticks."
The translator was amused by Wan Feng's words.
"But do you have advanced equipment? I visited your workshop last time. Although the machine tools are good, you don't even have a production line. How are you making cars? By hand?"
Of course there will be no test on handwork.
"Mr. Asada, you probably don't know much about our company. We are very good at making production lines. You will see our production lines when you get to the workshop."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the Nanwan Factory. Wan Feng took Asada Nobuyuki and the other two directly to the production line department of the processing workshop.
As soon as he entered the department, Asada Nobuyuki's eyes widened.
He did see a production line being built, a production line for dump trucks.
But after looking for a while, Asada Nobuyuki shook his head.
"The automation level of your production line is too low. More than half of the work still relies on manpower. It's not advanced."
We are lucky enough to be able to create it, but we also want it to be fully automated!
"Mr. Asada! Were your original production lines fully automated?"
"We have three production lines that are all fully automated, so we don't need many people."
Wan Feng was delighted.
"Mr. Asada! I'm going to show you something."
Wan Feng brought Asada Nobuyuki and others to the yard of the new factory.
These containers take up too much space and need to be cleaned up.
Wan Feng called a few workers and opened a container first.
The container was full of machines, and Wan Feng had no idea what they were.
Wan Feng is not clear, but there is one thing he knows clearly.
One of Asada Nobuyuki's companions screamed in surprise, then mumbled something incoherently.
"What did the stupid Japanese say today?" Wan Feng asked the translator.
"He said, 'Isn't this a machine from their company? It's from some production line.'"
Nobuya Asada walked into the container in surprise and reached out to open the protective layer on the machine.
"It's indeed our XXX minivan production line. How did it end up here?"
This question is about how it appears here. I bought it.
Asada Nobuyuki was a little excited: "President Wan! Did you buy Hengbida's equipment?"
Wan Feng nodded heavily. "Yes, I bought some of Hengbida's main equipment, as well as the blueprints and other items. They're all here."
Asada Nobu's eyes sparkled.
"President Wan! Hengbida has three production lines, two for two types of minivans, and one for mini cars. If we have these equipment, everything else will be easy."
These stupid Japanese people, it seems like we can’t make cars without these equipment.
"Mr. Asada! How many people are there among you?" Wan Feng changed the subject.
"More than forty, that's more than enough. With people like us helping some of the people in your company, we'll be able to produce a small car by the end of the year."
"Oh! So, Mr. Asada, you are planning to come to the South Bay Group."
Asada Nobu nodded: "Wait until I go back and call for help, and our people will come over."
"Now that you've decided to come, let's talk about your salary."
Regarding the issue of salary, Wan Feng originally planned to double the salary of people like Asada Nobuyuki at Riben.
But now, considering the situation in Japan, Wan Feng reduced the ratio to 70% of their original salary increase.
Anyway, if they don't come out, we can only sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor.
This way he can save some money, and every penny saved is a penny earned.
Asada Nobuyuki's original annual salary at Hengbida was one million yen, and now Wanfeng offers him a salary equivalent to 1.7 million yen.
This standard converted into Chinese currency is more than 100,000 yuan a year.
The same applies to the rest.
Asada Nobuyuki had no objection to the salary.
After the salary and other aspects were agreed upon, Asada Nobuyuki immediately returned to Japan to gather his team and was expected to come to China in May.
After Asada Nobuo left, Wan Feng immediately processed the temporary residence procedures for them in China.
Now that Asada Nobuobu's team was confirmed to be coming, Wan Feng felt relieved.
On the third day after Nobuo Asada left, the pickup truck production line officially began to be installed.
It is estimated to take a month, which means that when Asada Nobuyuki comes to China again, the pickup truck may be off the production line.
This pickup truck strictly addresses the question of whether or not to have one.
It is still of a very low grade, otherwise Wanfeng would not sell it for 40,000 yuan.
Now that the problem has been solved, the next step is to try something better.
Wan Feng and Yi Meng squatted in the corner and began to study the upgrade of the pickup truck.
The upgrades to the next generation of pickup trucks are mainly focused on comfort, noise reduction, seat upgrades and interior decoration.
After these upgrades, the grade of the pickup truck can be raised to a higher level, and the price will naturally increase by tens of thousands of yuan.
After this type of upgrade is completed, a four-wheel drive pickup truck will be developed, after all, this thing is meant for off-road use.
After Asada Nobuyuki and others came, they produced gasoline engines and also considered producing gasoline engine pickup trucks.
At that time, gasoline pickup trucks came out and Asada Nobuyuki's microvan also came out.
Now that these two cars have been completed, Wan Feng feels that the time is almost right to enter the sedan market.
According to this plan, the production of sedans is expected to start around the end of next year, and we will strive to bring the first sedan to the market in 1993.
Of course, the first sedan will also be a low-end version, and the first thing to do is to solve the problem.
Have we solved the problem of upgrading the grade, developing car models, and conducting research and development of new technologies?
After the pickup truck upgrade plan was completed, Yimeng invested in the upgrade plan.
Wan Feng went to the pickup truck production workshop to watch the workers install the assembly line.
These workers follow the installation drawings and install each assembly line component very carefully.
At this rate, it would be fast to install the assembly line in a month.
After the chip for moving graphics and accompanying sound was delivered to Huaguang Technology, Gu Hongzhong began to research VCD.
This side is researching VCDs, and that side is researching mobile phones.
This made Wan Feng very worried that he had confused the two things.
Early mobile phones did not have caller ID.
Wan Feng suggested using the pager technology to design caller ID on mobile phones.
Gu Hongzhong was very interested in Wan Feng's idea. He threw the VCD away and concentrated on studying the mobile phone.
Actually, Gu Hongzhong has been studying big mobile phones for a long time, but other tasks were always added in the middle, which resulted in him not conducting systematic research on big mobile phones.
Gu Hongzhong then said that they should wait until the research on mobile phones was successful before researching VCDs.
