Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Legend of the Four Vapors

Knowing that Ling Yunzhi and his party of 16 people decided to go south to Hushan, Han Hao's heart was full of excitement, and he decided to personally go to Jiangzhou Railway Station to greet the arrival of these automobile talents. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Knowledge is power, and you can ask experts for help if you don't know what you don't know, which is the understanding that Han Hao got from the development of motorcycles.

These talents from FAW are the experts he lacks the most, so Han Hao has prepared generous conditions and preferential treatment for those who defect to the Huaxia factory.

On the site of the automobile factory, the first to start construction is not the production workshop and office building, but the expert building specially used to house talents. The one-bedroom apartment is equipped with a separate bathroom, and there is a special person responsible for cleaning and providing laundry services every day, just like a regular hotel. It can make experts live with peace of mind and avoid worries. In terms of salary, it is at least three times that of FAW, which allows experts to live a decent life in Hushan.

The spirit of struggle must be spoken, but we cannot just let the horse run without giving it grass. Han Hao knows that the automotive field is more difficult than motorcycles, and it is impossible to achieve the set goals by his own strength, and talents from all over the country and even the world are needed to fight for a common goal.

"Our 16 guns are like the revolutionary guerrillas at that time to spread the fire, the fire of the republic's cars to the south, and we will also have a share of the credit for the sparks in the future!"

One of the retired engine experts said thoughtfully.

The farther away from FAW, the more I miss the time of FAW, and the group has a deep sense of loss from the excitement of just getting on the bus.

Geng Qiubo, the head of FAW, finally approved the resignation of Ling Yunzhi and others, and he didn't understand how angry he was at that time, but he remembered that these people were children trained by FAW, so he still showed mercy and did not deal with them as expelled. Before leaving, Geng Qiubo also asked someone to bring a message to Ling Yunzhi, if they didn't mix well, the door of FAW would be opened at any time, and they would be welcome home.

"Old Chen, you participated in the battle to aid the construction of the second automobile, and now let's draw a scoop according to the gourd, maybe we can get a fourth automobile out!"

Ling Yunzhi was the leader of the group, and in order to boost everyone's morale, he deliberately put forward the goal of the fourth steam.

Why Siqi?

Because there is still a statement of Sanqi in the automobile industry, in 1977, the State Council issued a document for the construction of the third automobile factory.

At that time, the country's heavy industry had developed to a bottleneck stage, and it felt that there was almost a blank in the field of heavy vehicles in China, and many large-scale projects required large quantities of heavy vehicles could not be matched. Therefore, in the early days of reform and opening up, the state decided to concentrate the country's efforts to build the third automobile like the construction of the first and second automobiles, specializing in the production of heavy-duty vehicles.

In the context of opening up to the outside world, China has issued a heroic post to the world's heavy-duty truck companies, intending to use foreign advanced technology to catch up with the advanced level of international heavy-duty trucks in one step. In the end, Steyr Motors from Austria won the bid and completely transferred a complete set of intellectual property rights contracts for Steyr 91 series heavy trucks. The Austrian government also provided low-interest loans to China to purchase related production equipment, and also agreed that China would use the production of heavy-duty vehicles to offset the loans in the future.

This was a win-win strategy for China, which was poor and white at the time, and the country did not need to use foreign exchange, as long as it adopted Steyr technology, it could not only get the much-needed heavy truck technology, but also use only products to repay debts in the future.

Later, after further demonstration, the construction of Sanqi decided to be discontinued due to the limited financial resources of the state, and the China Heavy Duty Truck Industry Joint Venture Company was established to replace it, and all the heavy truck manufacturers in the country were jointly operated together to jointly digest Steyr's 91 series heavy truck technology. This is the establishment process of China National Heavy Duty Truck, so the general industry also calls China National Heavy Duty Truck Sanqi.

"Yes, we don't mix well and we don't have the face to go back to FAW! So if we want to make a big one, China Fourth Automobile is about to be born in our hands!"

A group of people were quickly enthusiastized by the concept of the fourth automobile, because they could resolutely leave their families and go to Jiangnan alone, all of them were idealists in China's auto industry.

After more than 40 hours of traveling, fortunately they were all hard sleepers, otherwise such a long trip would really be unbearable for several retired old experts.

Han Hao took Yu Hang and others to buy platform tickets and came to the platform to greet this group of pioneers of Huaxia Automobile.

Seeing Ling Yunzhi again, Han Hao found that he had a flat haircut, and his tall figure was as strong as a mountain, giving people the feeling that he was a trustworthy companion.

After a simple greeting, Ling Yunzhi gathered all the people from FAW, stood in two rows to count the number of people and luggage, as the leader, he had an unshirkable responsibility to take care of his colleagues and partners who followed him to thousands of miles.

Seeing this group of FAW talents who stood tall and raised their heads, Han Hao felt that as the eldest son of the republic, FAW gave them a brand of self-confidence from the heart.

After Ling Yunzhi finished sorting out the team, Han Hao signaled the people of Huaxia Factory to come forward to help carry the luggage and warmly welcome the arrival of the FAW talent team.

Before coming, everyone also had a preliminary understanding of Huaxia Factory, which is a township enterprise specializing in the production of motorcycles, and is a rising rookie in the domestic motorcycle industry. Now seeing Han Hao's real person, if it weren't for Ling Yunzhi's personal introduction, no one would have thought that such a young man who could only serve as an apprentice in the workshop at FAW would be the head of the automobile factory who would struggle together in the future.

"My name is Han Hao, Han Xin's Han, Hao's Hao in the sky, and the meaning of the name is to chase Han Xin under the moon. But everyone likes to call me Director Xiao Han, you are all my seniors, you can call me Xiao Han in the future. Presumably, everyone was hungry after taking the train for so long, so we specially prepared meals at a restaurant near the station, and everyone ate first and then went to Hushan. As for the rest, in the future, we will have time to understand each other, and I will only say that my ideals are completely consistent with yours, and it is my lifelong pursuit to build Chinese's own national car!"

It is rare for Han Hao to introduce himself so formally, which shows that he attaches great importance to this group of people with real talent and learning.

A bus was prepared, and after everyone had eaten, they got on the bus and set off for Hushan.

In the car, Han Hao and Ling Yunzhi sat together, mainly because Ling Yunzhi wanted him to know how the progress of the Huaxia Factory's automobile project was?

The design and construction of the new factory Han Hao deliberately waited for Ling Yunzhi to arrive, because Ling Yunzhi had participated in the construction of FAW-Volkswagen production workshop and had practical experience.

Han Hao's requirements for the factory floor are not only the production of micro-noodles, but also involve the production of cars in the future, so he needs automotive talents like Ling Yunzhi to help make suggestions. This is also the main reason why Li Shufu went to the office several times and found nothing, the technical experts did not come, where would Han Hao start construction.

Knowing that the land in the new factory has been leveled, and then the technology transfer with Mitsubishi Motors is being negotiated, and other technical talents are being recruited, the most important thing is that Han Hao has prepared at least 100 million funds for special use, which makes Ling Yunzhi more satisfied.

Although it was built from scratch, at least the external conditions Han Hao has created well, and he did not say that he just bragged and did not do things.

Since the site of the car factory is 10 kilometers away from the county seat of Hushan, it is now just a flat land, and the only buildings are three specialist buildings under construction. Therefore, these people, Han Hao first arranged in the Huaxia motorcycle factory, where there are dormitories for them to live in.

Seeing the modern factory building and beautiful factory environment of Huaxia Motorcycle Factory, FAW and his entourage felt that they had come to Hushan, and their desire to build the Fourth Automobile Factory had a great chance of success.

As the motorcycle market has changed from a seller's market to a buyer's market, giants such as Jialing, Jianjian, and Qingqi have also changed their payment methods in addition to price reductions. In the past, dealers took the money to the factory to pick up the goods, but now it has become a model of motorcycle factories shipping goods first and then settling, it seems that sales continue to rise, and the factory's inventory is good, but there is a large backlog of vehicles and payments in the hands of dealers. One of the major characteristics of the buyer's market is that motorcycles cannot be sold, resulting in a backlog. This greatly occupies the already fragile capital chain of motorcycle factories, and the good days of the motorcycle market sitting on counting money have finally passed, and many motorcycle factories are beginning to face the risk of bankruptcy.

Huaxia Motorcycle's painstaking county-level dealer network has finally shown strong competitiveness, and the extensive sales of motorcycle giants basically only take into account the provincial or city-level network, Huaxia Factory's motorcycles can directly cover China's grassroots counties and towns. On both sides of many roads, the propaganda slogans of Huaxia motorcycles are brushed, and slogans such as "Huaxia loves China's heart" and "Buy motorcycles, find Huaxia" abound. Some people even joked that in addition to the overwhelming three strains of oral liquid, domestic rural advertisements are finely cultivated Huaxia motorcycles.

Huaxia factory only needs to manage to the county-level dealers, and then the county-level dealers develop the local market, although there is a lack of competition, but at least to ensure the profits of the county's dealers. If you want the dealer to follow you, you have to let them taste the sweetness. According to the internal statistics of Huaxia Factory, the Huaxia Motorcycle project alone has created nearly 1,000 small bosses of 100,000 in the country. They shared the fruits of economic development with Huaxia Factory and became the first group of people to become rich. Therefore, the capital operation of Huaxia factory is good, and there is basically no phenomenon of arrears, which is unique in the national motorcycle industry.

When other motorcycle brands began to be unsalable, the three series of 10 models of motorcycles of Princess, Prince and General of Huaxia Factory were still in short supply. In the motorcycle market in 1995, the low-end displacement of 50CC still occupied 20% of the share, but the motorcycle market with a displacement of 90-125CC showed explosive growth, with a growth rate of more than 60% year-on-year, of which 90CC reached a record 172%, and the sales volume in the first 8 months was close to one million units. The scooter has also ushered in explosive growth in China and has become a new market growth point. In the past, although scooters such as the Qingqi Mulan 50 were in production, the market share occupied by scooters has always been only about 5%. According to the analogy of the share of scooters in developed countries, Italy is 55%, Japan is 50-60%, Taiwan is 80%, etc., and now the Chinese market has also entered a similar development path.

It is estimated that in 1995 scooter sales in China will reach a record 20% in history, and the Huaxia motorcycle factory, which focuses on the production of scooters, will be the biggest winner. It is precisely because of this that Han Hao has the capital to enter the automobile market. According to his estimates, the motorcycle market will be hot for at least three years, which is enough for him to accumulate enough funds to build the car base in his mind.

The report that had originally invited the Mitsubishi delegation to visit Hushan had been submitted to the provincial government for approval, but it has not been followed. Due to the involvement of foreign guests, it was necessary for the government to conduct a routine review, and the failure to approve it led to the delay in negotiations with Mitsubishi Motors.

This made Han Hao a little anxious.
