Zhu Guoxiong circled the pickup truck twice.
It’s a very interesting thing, it looks like a car and a truck. Could it be the legendary two-in-one water?
"Boy! Is this the car your factory director is researching?"
Wan Feng nodded: "We have just developed a new type of car and are currently undergoing testing."
"What kind of car is this?"
"It's commonly called a 'banjiezi', and more elegantly called a 'pika'. We have it in China. Have you never seen one?"
Zhu Guoxiong shook his head honestly, he really had never seen it.
"Grandpa! Doesn't your army need a vehicle like this? It can haul goods and serve as a sedan. I guarantee it's much better than this 212 you're riding in. When we go on the market, will your military buy a hundred or eighty of them?"
"How many? One hundred and eighty?!"
"Times are changing! You're the ones protecting the country, so of course you need cars that are similar to ours. I'll paint them all in National Defense Green, so impressive!"
"This thing is too small. If it were a truck, I'd consider it."
"We have trucks too! They'll be available next year after undergoing extreme testing. How many are you planning to buy?"
"The military's cars are all from FAW and Second FAW. Can the cars you make match their quality?"
"Haha! You know how many trucks, big and small, I brought back from the Soviet Union. I didn't bring those trucks back to sell as scrap metal. Do you know how many people we have working on them every day? Nearly a thousand of them. We dismantle, analyze, digest, and absorb them. I can't say we're better than FAW and Second FAW, but we guarantee we're no worse."
We will consider it again after you obtain national approval and officially launch the product.
Zhu Guoxiong is in charge of purchasing supplies and equipment for the military, so Wan Feng has no way around it if he wants to sell the car to the military.
However, Wan Feng is confident that he can get a share of the military vehicle procurement, and he does not need to rely on backdoors.
Not to mention anything else, when it comes to steel used in car manufacturing, FAW and Second FAW cannot compare with them.
They use ordinary steel and he uses special steel. Why is your car stronger than mine?
When he provided the drawings to Hongya Steel Plant, he could have signed a permanent preferential contract. The price of the steel he used was not much more expensive than ordinary steel.
Nanwan Motors may be a little behind in automotive technology, but Wan Feng believes that it is just a gap in experience.
To sum up, he feels that his South Bay car is still competitive.
Zhu Guoxiong went to live in the military guesthouse.
Zhu Guoxiong left, and Yimeng began to talk about his plan.
"If the test team goes this time, will the pickup truck go with them?"
"Are you ready?"
"Once it's ready, let the pickup truck undergo extreme testing along with the large truck. If there are no problems, production will begin next year, and the production line will be designed before the end of the year."
When Yimeng mentioned the production line again, Wan Feng began to pay attention to his company's production line design and production capabilities.
In the past, the production lines designed by our group were all manual assembly lines. With the improvement of electronic engineering level, it seems that now no matter what product design the production line is, it is at least semi-automated.
If the capabilities of the robotic arm can be further improved, designing and producing a fully automated production line will not be a problem.
If this is the case, it is time to consider setting up a production line department so that we can accept goods from outside.
This is a lucrative project.
Production lines are a thing, the starting price for one is from hundreds of thousands to millions or even tens of millions, so how can’t the profit be more than half?
After General Secretary Xi Jinping's southern tour to stabilize society and the market in 1992, various enterprises will flourish like mushrooms after rain. Designing production lines is also a way to make money.
Set up a department dedicated to designing and producing production lines for others.
"Since you are ready, let's go out together in the big and small cars to experience the baptism of wind and rain."
Yimeng drove back to the workshop.
Not long after Zhu Guoxiong left, Wan Feng received a call from Liang Guoyong.
"Boy! You came back without saying a word?"
"Why did you make a sound?"
"I thought you weren't back. The steel mill is opening tomorrow. Aren't you going to attend the ceremony?"
Wan Feng thought about it and felt that he should go and take a look.
"Okay! I'll go check it out tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Wan Feng thought about it and called the motorcycle sales department and logistics staff together for a meeting.
This meeting was the beginning of promoting the implementation of direct sales stores.
There is always resistance to promoting a change, and the resistance naturally comes from the sales department.
In fact, there is really no need for this sales department to exist now. Motorcycle sales are so hot that their existence is completely redundant.
But even if they are redundant, they must exist. You can't have such a large company without a corresponding reception department when customers come to pick up goods.
It is precisely because of the hot sales of motorcycles that a series of crooked ways of using connections and backdoors have emerged.
From giving two boxes of cigarettes and a meal at the beginning, to now accepting money at a fixed price.
For example, if you spend fifty yuan, you can first purchase a car with a value below ten.
For one hundred yuan, you can get less than fifty cars.
This money comes from the sheep, and will eventually be added to the final retail price, allowing end consumers to buy it.
Wan Feng was not unaware of these things, and this was one of the reasons why he promoted direct sales stores.
I send the product from the manufacturer to the second-level distributor, and then directly to the end consumer at the price set by the group. There is no room for hiding any tricks in the middle, so what's the point?
It is precisely because there is no room for maneuver that people in the sales department object.
Of course, some of the reasons listed are reasonable.
Some people say that setting up direct sales stores requires companies to have special delivery channels, which will increase the company's burden and expenses.
Then Wan Feng didn't know the trick behind this, and might have been so moved that he shed a few tears.
"For our supply channels, we offer two methods: proactive delivery and voluntary pickup. I won't discuss proactive delivery. Voluntary pickup means that second-tier distributors can come to the company to pick up the goods on their own terms. Of course, there will be some price discounts, but you don't have to worry about that. All you need to do now is implement this policy. I won't ask about any messes in the past. I hope everyone will do their jobs well going forward. The group will not treat you unfairly, and I urge everyone to cherish the work at hand and the responsibilities they bear. If anyone says they're not up to the job, please speak up immediately. I believe there will be others who can. By March of next year, I want to see the specific implementation status in all counties and cities nationwide. Meeting adjourned!"
Wan Feng cut the Gordian knot and did not give these people a chance to argue. If he did not use this opportunity to put some pressure on them, some people would start to live in confusion.
I haven't been confused for a long time, but you guys are starting to feel comfortable.
How can this be?
Even if I want to get by, I have to get by first, how can I talk to you first!
