Chapter 418: Wealthy
"Assistant Xiao has just taken office, and he is going to stuff the related households in, I have no opinion, but I want to know, how much does Assistant Xiao know about making cars? Although the heat exchange treatment system accounts for a very limited proportion of the cost of the whole vehicle, a set of systems is more than a thousand points, and it doesn't look like there are many technical things, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have the ability to produce the corresponding equipment and control components, there are more than ten or twenty, but does Assistant Xiao know that a system to be integrated into the body, is not a simple matter? This is not the household air conditioner imagined by Assistant Xiao, it can be used as soon as it is dragged home and the internal and external units are installed, the body system, the compressor must be driven by the engine, the control components need to be concentrated in the electronic system of the whole vehicle, and all the components should be reasonably used for the layout of the limited space, which can be said to be a trigger and move the whole body. Now without full discussion, demonstration, and repeated experiments, we have to directly replace a subsystem now, how to ensure the safety and stability, and who will bear the consequences if something goes wrong?"
Because he knew that pushing the whole thing would definitely be resisted by the original team, Xiao Jun decided that he would throw the problem out, so as not to have a sharp confrontation between Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang and the pickup team, and there was no room for relaxation.
It's just that he didn't expect that the criticism would be so sharp and merciless.
And Sun Weigang's continuous criticism is mixed with a large number of professional terms, revealing undisguised contempt.
Xiao Jun was also caught off guard.
He has devoured a few professional books in a surprise manner in the past few days, and he is only cramming on the spot, so naturally he is not qualified to discuss technical details with an old Jianghu like Sun Weigang, and he doesn't want to move Cao Mo out at every turn, and finds that with his status, it is difficult to fight back against Sun Weigang forcefully.
"Mr. Sun, I called everyone over today to discuss whether it is feasible?" Xu Bin said with a light cough.
"Why do you want to discuss this issue? Is there a problem with the existing system, or is the existing technology not mature enough? If it's just that you have a temporary idea, you have to toss it, we don't care, we have been mentally prepared for a long time, but whether the production should continue to continue, and how else should the work be done? I said that you sharpen your knives, are you too impatient?" When you were in Huachen, Sun Weigang was better than Xu Bin, Xu Lizheng's qualifications are much older, and at this time, Xu Bin's questioning is also with a gun and a stick, and he even threatens to pick a child.
Xu Bin looked at the other people present, and saw that there was disdain in the eyes of others, or they avoided his gaze, or they had wordless indifference, and he could guess that Sun Weigang had worked on all the members of the old team.
Obviously, even if the proposal to replace the body air conditioning system is just a trial, they have no intention of backing down.
Xu Bin also learned that Sun Weigang had contacts with other car companies and investors near Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were interested in entering the auto industry, and now seeing that he has such a tough attitude, I don't know if the next family has been negotiated, but if he really wants to leave with the whole team, the situation will become very tricky.
The door of the "......" conference room was pushed open from the outside, and seeing Cao Mo without prior notice, he pushed the door in with a notepad and walked in.
Xu Bin was about to stand up and give up his seat at the conference table to Cao Mo, who waved his hand and motioned for him to continue presiding over the meeting, so he pulled a chair from the window and squeezed into an empty seat next to the conference table and sat down.
Cao Mo was not involved in the acquisition negotiations for Huachen Pickup's assets from beginning to end.
And even if he is also the chairman of Tianyue Industry, he did not participate in the ceremony of taking over Huachen Pickup, nor did he appear in the pickup factory.
Therefore, among the old team members of Huachen Pickup, only Sun Weigang and another vice president named Zhao Yiping have met Cao Mo, but the others are not stupid, and they can guess Cao Mo's identity when they see this scene.
"Originally, I made an appointment to meet with Mr. Qian of Xinhong in the morning, and I didn't think of coming over to participate in your evaluation meeting, but I was temporarily released by Mr. Qian of Xinhong, and I have time again - Mr. Sun, where have you already discussed?" Cao Mo had heard Sun Weigang's aggressive questioning outside the conference room just now, he opened the record book, bypassed Xu Bin, and directly asked Sun Weigang to introduce the process of the meeting.
In front of Cao Mo, Sun Weigang was more restrained, and said: "Huachen pickup truck initially introduced mature technology and production line, and then spent five or six years to successively localize seventy or eighty percent of the components, which greatly reduced the production cost, which can be said to be quite successful." According to the practice in the manufacturing industry, whether it is from the stability of operation and production, or from the reliability and safety of the body, in the absence of major mistakes, the existing component suppliers will not be replaced at will; That would have enough time to verify reliability and safety - Assistant Xiao returned to China and suddenly made such a suggestion, and many people couldn't understand it......"
Although Xiao Jun didn't break it, many people can imagine it, but Cao Mo will not give them a chance to pretend to be confused, and said:
"This kind of unconventional approach is not a sudden idea of Assistant Xiao, but I proposed to take it out for everyone to discuss - since everyone is not focusing on the feasibility of the plan, and is speculating about the intention behind it, then I have to ask, is it impossible for everyone to understand?"
Now that Cao Mo has come over, he will no longer limit the problem to the feasibility of replacing the body air conditioning system, and since they all guess that he is going to attack the old team this time, let them directly ask the problem.
Cao Mo's eyes slowly swept over the nine people from Huachen's old pickup team who participated in this meeting.
Sun Weigang and Zhao Yiping were the general manager and deputy general manager of Huachen Pickup Division before, both of them are not very old, in their early forties, and they are in the prime of life, whether it is energy, work experience, or technical level, they can be said to be in their personal best stage.
The other seven people, ranging from 30 to 40 years old, three of them are the backbone of Huachen's internal training, and the other four are professional managers introduced from outside Huachen in order to revitalize the pickup business in recent years.
Although compared with other domestic manufacturers, the loss of Huachen pickup business is not too serious and decent, but the Huachen pickup team has not really integrated into a whole.
They seem to be able to unite now, which is nothing more than the natural sense of huddle that has just been acquired by the merger, and their worries about future career development are not familiar with the existing team of Tianyue Industry.
Therefore, Xu Bin hopes to have a relatively long transition period to solve these problems.
After waiting for a while, Cao Mo saw that no one stood up to answer his question, so he continued: "The acquisition of Huachen's pickup line, there is also more than half a month, I, the chairman, did not meet with you, the affairs are more complicated is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is also to seriously think about the Huachen pickup line and how to go about everyone's respective career development, to think about how to integrate into Tianyue industry, to observe and think about what the future of Tianyue industry will be." Now it seems that everyone has thought a lot, but basically they have thought about it. You think that Tianyue Industry is just a pilot of Tianyue Industry diversification, and it is a willful and impatient adventure for me, you think that the line of Huachen pickup truck has a decisive impact on the fate of Tianyue Industry, and you think that Xu Bin should be more careful to serve everyone here. I'm sitting here today and I can tell him some of the answers plainly. Tianyue Industry is not a pilot for me to develop industrial diversification, but a determination of mine, I say so, everyone should rethink, sort out the relationship between Huachen pickup line and Tianyue Industry, right?"
The "......" conference room was silent.
"Tianyue Industry is indispensable to me, and I will continue to draw blood from the outside in the future to ensure the rapid development of Tianyue Industry in the field of car manufacturing. Therefore, the line of Huachen pickup truck is only a test product for Tianyue Industry, and there is no problem of not being able to afford to lose, let alone indispensable. Huachen pickup line failed to do it, the experiment failed, Tianyue Industry will soon have the funds to acquire the second and third lines, and even buy foreign companies, introduce new technology, and rebuild new lines. Therefore, all of you here are not indispensable to Tianyue Industry, you can't do the goal I expect from Huachen pickup, tomorrow there will be new people, new teams to replace you, not a simple supplier replacement! Therefore, I came here today, not to listen to you discuss whether the replacement of the body air conditioning system is feasible, but to discuss it today, what work needs to be done to replace it, whether you can complete it independently, whether you need external technical support, how much additional budget is needed, and how much performance can be maximized and how to improve the technical standards under the condition that the cost is not changed. Of course, I think you are also very clear that what you really want to discuss is not the single subsystem of body air conditioning, I really want you to achieve the goal, that is, under the current cost budget, Huachen pickup in terms of performance and quality, how much room for improvement? I hope you don't let yourself become a failed experiment? Your final way out is to integrate into the team of Tianyue Industry, and Tianyue Industry has also reserved 10% of the equity increase space for the follow-up management team......"
"Old Xu, let's go out and let them discuss it behind closed doors!" Cao Mo asked Xu Bin, Huang Yijiang, and Xiao Jun to go out with him.
Walking back to Xu Bin's office, Cao Mo took out a cigarette and threw it to Xu Bin and them, and said, "Don't be so sad, there are many difficult things in the world, but most of them can't compete with wealth - if you are threatened by them, how can you press their heads down?"
"In recent years, the demand for the automobile market has been growing at a high speed, even during the economic crisis, the domestic automobile market sales are not increasing, not to mention the latest economic stimulus policy, more clearly required to increase the support for the automobile manufacturing industry - Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a lot of capital has long been ready to move, it is estimated that there will be a landing project in the near future, and even Huachen's car assets have recently negotiated the seller, which is not surprising; Cao Mo can say that he doesn't mind that the entire Huachen pickup production line has become a penniless ruin, but Xu Bin still has to consider the various situations that may actually occur and solve the problems one by one.
"I haven't had any contact with Sun Weigang and them during this time, but it doesn't mean that I, the chairman, haven't done my job," Cao Mo said with a smile, "Several investors who are interested in taking over the assets of Huachen car have had dinner with Qian Wenhan a few times in the past few days, and the intention of the temptation is obvious, and I have also confirmed some information from them." Sun Weigang actually has no way out, let alone lead the whole team out, but he obviously scared you all......"
"Oh, which capital did he come into contact with so easily to reveal this key information to you?" asked Xu Bin curiously.
"At present, the new willingness to take over the assets of Huachen Car is still Xinhu Investment in Zhejiang Province and Zhongshi International in Jiangsu Province, Sun Weigang has contacted them, and should also boast of having the ability to replace the existing team of Huachen Car, but Xinhu Investment and Zhongshi International should prefer to recruit Sun Weigang personally in order to play a role in the acquisition of Huachen Car assets, but they have no intention of letting him manage the new team...... Cao Mo said.
Everyone is a smart person.
Zhongshi and Xinhu want to recruit Sun Weigang and offer an annual salary of 100,000 yuan a year, but as long as they play a little role in the acquisition of Huachen car assets, it will be hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of benefits and losses, but they do not recognize Sun Weigang's ability to manage the team.
That's a shrewd account.
"Do you think Sun Weigang has the ability to lead the existing team?" asked Xu Bin.
If you need to kill chickens and monkeys, Xu Bin doesn't mind starting directly with Sun Weigang.
"To be able to get to this position, ability and professional level, must be passed, now it depends on whether he can change and be with you; Cao Mo said.
For an enterprise, whether it can develop rapidly or not, sometimes internal friction is more fatal than the strength of ability.
Since Cao Mo attaches so much importance to Tianyue Industry, of course he will not leave the work of team remodeling to Xu Bin and them to be responsible.
The foundation of Tianyue Industry is still too weak, even if it is only a line of acquisition of Huachen, the total value of the acquisition is only 600 million, but it is still considered by the industry to be a snake-swallowing elephant-style merger, which will naturally complicate many simple problems.
Sun Weigang's team discussed behind closed doors for two hours, and came to the conclusion that it was feasible to replace the body air conditioning system, and there was no need to find external technical support, but they did not give up resistance, emphasizing that this replacement will bring unforeseen hidden dangers to the stability and safety of the body, and need to spend an additional budget to develop a new control system;
In short, they can be forced to work under the boss's obscenity, but if they do it, they don't take this responsibility.
............
............
Cao Mo insisted on pushing the whole thing, Sun Weigang and the others were not enough to confront him, and the progress of the whole thing was naturally smooth.
Changchuang insists on opening up the market of on-board air conditioners, in addition to the development and production of key components, there is also a certain technical force to develop control systems and match them with different models.
Changchuang's technical strength in this area is not comparable with professional companies such as Poten Electronics, but even if Huachen pickup truck improves the threshold of technology, performance and quality control, it is also lower than the more sophisticated mid-to-high-end sedan.
After internal research, in order to win this representative order, Changchuang contracted all the matching work very neatly, and did not ask Huachen Pickup to bear additional costs.
In the eighties and nineties, Huachen introduced motorcycle engine and vehicle technology and production line, and controlled the cost very strictly - at that time, the sales of domestic motorcycles alone were as high as six or seven thousand yuan, and Huachen was the first to reduce the manufacturing cost of motorcycle engines to below 1,000 yuan, which brought great success to Huachen in the early days.
Huachen's subsequent introduction of pickup trucks and car production lines is dominated by the successful experience of the past, and has always paid more attention to cost control, and the requirements for quality and performance are passable.
Huachen Automobile has just been launched into the market, and like Alto, it has achieved small success in the central and western markets, but the market demand is constantly changing with economic development.
Too low-end positioning, Huachen car was soon rejected by the market, domestic sales declined year by year, can only focus on the lower-end overseas market.
After Huachen lost the motivation to forge ahead, all kinds of corruption breeded.
Even in recent years, with the increasing improvement of the domestic automobile industry chain, the components are becoming more and more cheap and high-quality, and the technical level is getting higher and higher, the cost of Huachen's various models has not decreased significantly, and the quality has not been significantly improved.
Cao Mo does not want to squeeze the existing manufacturing costs of Huachen pickups, and will even reduce downstream sales, market development and other expenses as much as possible, so that Huachen pickup trucks still have room for significant increases in manufacturing costs while the price remains unchanged.
The performance and quality standards of Huachen pickup trucks must be greatly improved, and the original suppliers who cannot meet the new standards in performance and quality control must also be eliminated.
Although the main technical work for the performance improvement of Huachen Pickup will be handed over to the Turnsmith Lab, the old team of Huachen Pickup will not carry out a fundamental remodeling, and all their efforts will be greatly reduced by unnecessary internal consumption.
Therefore, before Gu Fan and the Turnwright's laboratory were ready, Cao Mo had to use the replacement of the body air conditioning subsystem as a ferocious catfish to stir up the water.
Even if the production of Huachen pickup trucks will be seriously stagnant during this period, the losses will be limited, and it is better than the transition period to be delayed indefinitely.
Cao Mo also did not hand over the corresponding matching work to Changchuang.
In addition to the independent operation of the Turnsmith Laboratory, Tianyue Industry also established a corresponding pickup application technology laboratory and R&D and testing center for the first time.
This was originally a move by Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang to check and balance and spur Sun Weigang and other old teams, so it was natural to play a role at this time.
At the same time, Cao Mo also asked Xu Bin to find Poten Electronics to sign a cooperation agreement on the development of relevant control and matching technology, and the cost was listed separately - Tianyue's industrial base was too weak, and if you wanted to add it, it was necessary to take a multi-pronged approach, and the cost of additional investment was actually not as high as imagined......

The most difficult thing to say during this period of time may not be the Lu family.
The brothers Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao finally flew to Canada before the end of November, and they left tens of millions of pension money for themselves, and there are also some other assets at home and abroad that can be realized, far from being on the streets.
Huang Hebin's condition is bleaker.
He believes that overseas projects can make a name for themselves, not only investing his accumulation over the years, but also finding relatives and friends to find tens of millions.
Naturally, there is no need to talk about the small amount of shares he personally invested in Xintaihua, and except for leaving a house for his ex-wife, all other assets are disposed of, so that the debts of relatives and friends can be cleared.
However, no matter what, Huang Hebin also has a sense of relief of "debt-free and light".
"This health medicine, really effective, I personally tested for half a month, every day I wake up is a pillar of optimus, you didn't think that my age, can be more vigorous than when I was twenty years old, right? I think we don't have to find other ways out for the time being, take down this brand agent, and then invest 100,000 in Xinhai, open a health club, find a group of women who are a little beautiful to do services, and promote this health medicine by the way, with our connections, this fund is actually not to worry, and there is no need to worry about all aspects of the relationship can not be dredged. Let's first mix up two or three million a year to get food and clothing, and then slowly think about developing and growing - don't frown, we'll just play the side ball, don't do anything hurtful, it's safe, nothing will happen......"
Sitting in the noisy teahouse, Yao Haiming mysteriously put a small bag of Chinese medicine on the tea table and enlightened Huang Hebin.
"Is there any way in this medicine, do we still need to deceive ourselves? Chonghai has a trading company that is currently planning to open a processing plant in Africa, and there is still a shortage of deputy factory director, I went to talk about it the day before yesterday, and both sides are quite satisfied, and I am ready to agree," Huang Hebin said, "There are still some middle-level vacancies in that company, you can also go over and try to talk about it." ”
"What company, how much annual salary can it give you, is there 500,000?" Yao Haiming asked impatiently.
"At present, 300,000 yuan a year is opened, and it is enough to take it netly. Huang Hebin said.
"What is 30,000 in a Chinese New Year's Eve?" asked Yao Haiming.
Huang Hebin sighed in his heart, the old man was completely scattered, and he didn't want to argue with Yao Haiming about anything, so he sat there drinking tea and chatting for a while before leaving.
Huang Hebin walked out of the teahouse, just unlocked the bicycle parked on the side of the street, looked up and saw a Mercedes-Benz business car next to him open the back door at this time, and suddenly saw Cao Mo sitting in the back seat of the car looking at him.
"I'm not a person who can't rub a grain of sand in my eyes, and I'm interested in getting into the car and sitting down?" Cao Mo asked.
