Hiroshi Kawakami said, "As you know, we at Yamaha can produce automotive engines with very good precision and performance, and at the same time, very reliable quality. ”

"Yes, I know. Chen Geng nodded.

For Kawakami Hiroshi's words, Chen Geng has no opinion, not to mention the inline six-cylinder 2.0-liter engine on the Toyota 2000GT provided to Toyota more than ten years ago, let's just say that after entering the 80s, the ambitious Yamaha actually planned to enter F1, determined to become an engine supplier of F1, although that was a few years later, but if it was not for the sufficient technical accumulation in the engine, If it weren't for the fact that it had enough confidence in its own engine technology, how could Yamaha come up with such a "big rebellion" idea?

By the same token, since Yamaha can produce such a high-quality, high-quality engine, the level or potential in vehicle assembly and welding is not too bad.

Seeing that Chen Geng agreed with his statement, Kawakami Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he hurriedly continued: "You can completely authorize us to help produce engines, in addition, you know, in addition to having high-precision, high-quality engine and transmission design, production and assembly experience, Yamaha also has enough skilled industrial workers, if you are willing to firm the OEM contract with Yamaha, we will apply for a loan immediately after we go back, and transform and upgrade the production line, I guarantee that Yamaha will do its best. Complete the OEM tasks you give us on time with quality and quantity. ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Geng nervously: Just look at this last trembling.

Chen Geng held his chin and groaned.

To a certain extent, the production of motorcycles can be regarded as a super simplified version of automobile production, the four major processes in the automobile production process: stamping, welding, spraying, assembly and the corresponding testing process, the production process of motorcycles is also readily available, the same lot, theoretically speaking, with Yamaha's technology and technology, manufacturing level and worker quality, as long as they are willing to spend money, with Asians in terms of work attitude far beyond North American rigor, they can indeed produce quality more than AMC North American factory cars. But......

"Why?" Chen Geng stared at Kawakami Hao and asked slowly.

"Huh?" Hiroshi Kawakami didn't understand what Chen Geng really wanted to ask.

"Why do you want to do OEM for us?" Chen Geng said slowly: "Mr. Kawakami, I hope you can tell the truth...... Compared to Yamaha's investment, the OEM income is not high, and it is not even as much as you make from the production of motorcycles, which is actually not a very smart investment from an investment point of view. ”

The implication: Let's be honest, what kind of calculation are you Yamaha making?

Qishan Yiyi glanced up at Chen Geng in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is worthy of Chen Gengjun, he can actually see at a glance that what Yamaha is not small.

Hiroshi Kawakami was a little hesitant, hesitating whether to tell Chen Geng the truth, but looking at Chen Geng's expression, he knew that it was impossible to fool Chen Geng with a reason casually, thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and chose to tell Chen Geng the truth: "Yamaha is looking forward to greater development, but you know, the relationship between Yamaha and Toyota is a bit special, so ......"

Hiroshi Kawakami's words are almost equivalent to shouting in a straight voice, "Lao Tzu wants to build a car!".

Sure enough, as I guessed, the little devil really didn't have a good heart!

Chen Geng's face didn't change much, he just nodded casually: "So, you plan to learn the production experience of automobiles with the help of OEM for AMC?"

Hiroshi Kawakami hurriedly denied it: "No, no, no, Chen Jun, you misunderstood......"

Just kidding, admitting that he was planning to use AMC to practice his hands? In the face of American dad, Hiroshi Kawakami is not so bold

Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and elongated his tone: "Hmm?Mr. Kawakami, are you sure?"

"Uh...... This ......"

Chen Geng's elongated tone startled Hiroshi Kawakami, he hesitated for a moment, and finally honestly admitted that Yamaha did have other plans: "Of course, if you can learn something from AMC, it would be the best......"

"Mr. Kawakami, do you know how big our capacity gap is?"

"I know a little about this......

But before Kawakami finished speaking, Chen Geng continued: "Let's not mention the issue of production capacity gap, Mr. Kawakami, since you Yamaha and Toyota have cooperation, then I believe that you are not ignorant of automobile production, can you answer me a question?"

"Uh...... Say, please. ”

"Not to mention how long it will take to renovate and expand the production line, Mr. Kawakami, tell me, is half a year enough time to train a group of qualified workers in the automobile industry?"

In fact, strictly speaking, if workers are transferred directly from Yamaha's motorcycle production line and have the foundation to produce and assemble motorcycles, it does not take half a year to train a group of qualified automobile production workers, but the key to the problem is:

On the one hand, Yamaha did not have any experience in the production of automobiles at all, which led to the uncontrollable quality of the cars produced in the early stage, or in the first year.

On the other hand, it takes time to improve the production line, even if all the spare parts needed to assemble a car are shipped from the United States, Yamaha is only responsible for the final painting and final assembly, and it will take at least 14 months to transform a qualified painting and final assembly shop, not counting the time required for the construction of a new plant to go through the government approval process.

In the end, all of these questions converged into one meaning: Do you want to be our AMC foundry?

It's just that although Chen Geng has made his meaning very clear, how could Yamaha not be prepared? Don't they know where their weaknesses and disadvantages are?

Of course they do.

Now that they know their weaknesses and weaknesses, how can they not prepare?

The most important moment is coming! Hiroshi Kawakami took a deep breath, looked at Chen Geng, and said seriously: "Chen Jun, what you said is very reasonable, normally speaking, it is really impossible to do this in half a year, and we Yamaha are no exception." ”

Chen Geng didn't answer, but nodded, waiting for him to continue.

Seeing that Chen Geng gave himself the opportunity to continue talking, Hiroshi Kawakami breathed a sigh of relief: "But Yamaha is very determined! We have prepared a cash and credit loan worth 1.2 billion yen, and as long as you agree to give us a part of the OEM work to Yamaha, we will immediately start the training of workers and the renovation of the factory."

In my capacity as president of Yamaha, I assure you that in one year at the latest, Yamaha will have the capacity to manufacture at least 2,000 cars per month for you. ”

Speaking of this, Hiroshi Kawakami secretly observed Chen Geng's expression, and after making sure that Chen Geng listened to his words very carefully, he immediately continued: "Of course, this is only our most preliminary plan, if you are willing to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with us, we can determine the monthly production capacity plan to 10,000 vehicles per month." ”

As far as a single factory is concerned, a production plant with an annual production capacity of 150,000 cars cannot be said to be a small factory in any way.

Chen Geng rubbed his temples: ...... thing It's a bit tricky.

Why is it so difficult?

Because to tell the truth, AMC's level in terms of engines is actually very average, and it can even be said that it is the bottom of the four major OEMs in the United States.

But since AMC is going to go international, it is necessary to work with an experienced manufacturer of internal combustion engines. The previous cooperation with Cosworth was based on this consideration, but now, the emergence of Yamaha has given Chen Geng a new way of thinking......

..............................

As soon as he left Chen Geng's place, Qishan Yoshiichi bowed to Hiroshi Kawakami again and again and apologized: "President, I'm very sorry, I didn't expect such a result." ”

"It's okay," Hiroshi Kawakami struggled to squeeze out a smile: "It's not your fault, Chen Jun's refusal was already expected by us, wasn't it?"

"Hey!" Qishan Yoshiichi hurriedly responded: "But the responsibility for this matter is still mine, if it wasn't for my proposal to you to cooperate with AMC, you wouldn't have to suffer such humiliation today." ”
