Chapter 448 - Working Machine
"If this continues, our Pengyun Automobile is struggling, and now the supply chain is broken, and the capital chain is also stretched. Jiang Xunmei said worriedly, "What do you think of the company's reform plan?"
Pengyun Automobile's management has submitted a reform plan to the head office, and if Lu Zixin approves it, it will be implemented immediately.
The content is very simple, to "redesign" the existing Pengyun car, and make adjustments to related technologies and parts. The company's main focus is still new energy and unmanned driving, but the performance of the car will be reduced, and it will enter the low-end car market.
"I looked at it, and it was partially possible. Lu Zixin said.
"Partially?"
"Hmm. Lu Zixin didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "To maintain the normal operation of Pengyun Automobile, you can try to reduce the configuration and produce a mid-range series of cars." ”
"But—" he retorted, "we can't afford to regress in the high-end series!
Seeing Jiang Xunmei showing a little embarrassed, Lu Zixin smiled and said, "I know that the supply of high-end spare parts is a big problem. Since it is difficult to import and restricted, it is better for us to do it ourselves!"
"Do it yourself?" Jiang Xunmei immediately said, "Now our Pengyun Automobile has auto parts processing factories and partners, and the technical level is far from the international top level." ”
"Then tell me, what's the difference?" Lu Zixin asked her.
Jiang Xunmei couldn't be more familiar with this problem, and said directly: "Design, precision, materials, these are the most critical factors. In terms of mechanical design, with the help of quantum computers, Pengyun has gradually caught up with foreign countries. ”
"In terms of materials for parts manufacturing, the increase in cost budget can still make up for it. However, the precision of spare parts, which is a real technical gap, is insurmountable. ”
This is no longer just a problem of the automobile manufacturing industry, but a problem involving the weakness of China's basic industry.
It seems that the industrial products made in China have long gone to the world and become synonymous. However, the core components of the industry that really involve high precision, high strength and high standards are controlled by those developed countries.
Therefore, Huaxia spends a lot of money every year to import these products to make up for its own shortcomings in industrial products.
"It's because it's hard to do that, so we do it. Lu Zixin clicked on the virtual projection in front of him, and sent a copy of the information to Jiang Xunmei's smart device.
"Machinery manufacturing factory?" Jiang Xunmei showed a surprised expression when she saw the prefix of the information book.
"Too ...... It's too much!" When she finished reading it, it was even more unbelievable. Originally, Jiang Xunmei thought that Lu Zixin meant to be Pengyun Automobile's own spare parts manufacturing factory.
This is not unusual, large car companies have their own spare parts factories, and some have made it to the world's top 500.
But in this information, what she saw was that Mr. Lu was not going to be Pengyun's auto parts factory, but to be the upstream of the spare parts factory - an industrial production equipment manufacturer!
Industrial production equipment, that is, the so-called machine tools, such as lathes, milling machines, planers, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, etc., are the core links of the machinery manufacturing industry!
No matter how good the machinery and equipment, no matter how good the parts, if you want to produce, you must manufacture their machine tools!
And this equipment is precisely the sensitive equipment and technology that the United States, island countries, Europe and other developed countries have strictly sealed to the outside world!
More importantly, in addition to manufacturing auto parts, excellent machine tools can also be used to manufacture aircraft, ships, military industry, etc., and its significance is huge at the national strategic level!
Of course, everyone knows that this is important. The most important thing is, can it be built? There are so many industrial giants, who doesn't want to master such technology and equipment? If the technology could be so easy to overcome, they would have done it a long time ago.
Therefore, some domestic products can only settle for the second, resulting in product quality and performance lower than foreign products.
......
Not only Jiang Xunmei was surprised and suspicious of this, but the senior executives of Hongxin Group also said that it was "too difficult".
Many people suggested to Lu Zixin that it would be better to put this plan on hold for the time being. The previous huge plan of maglev vehicles and maglev roads has not yet begun to be officially implemented, and now it is still extremely difficult to suddenly have to do machinery and equipment manufacturing.
No one knows how much money will have to be invested! Moreover, in terms of industrial foundation, Hongxin Group is not as strong as in the communications industry.
However, under Lu Zixin's "insistence", this plan still began to be implemented.
"We really don't have much money to invest this time!" Su Zhirong told Lu Zixin a not-so-good news, she said: "Pengyun Automobile Co., Ltd. has only been operating stably for two months, and now it has suffered this impact, and the capital chain has to rely on the assistance of the head office." ”
"Together with your maglev intelligent road plan and R&D project, our investment in Pengyun Automobile Group has reached the highest proportion among all sub-groups. Other projects also cost money. ”
"So how much money is there?" Lu Zixin asked directly.
"I calculated that in the short term, I could allocate 3 billion yuan of liquidity for investment. Long-term investment depends on the company's efficiency. Su Zhirong really gave a solution intimately.
"Three billion? Lu Zixin muttered to himself in a low voice. With the super industrial robot RI-8901, coupled with the improved Dongfang Hao, it should not be a problem in the manufacture of industrial machinery and equipment.
What they have to do is to "embody" their black technology combined with the current industrial level. As long as there is a product that can be launched, the follow-up money will continue to be invested.
As a result, RI-8901 and Dongfang Hao added a new project to the research base of Pengyun Machinery to develop a new type of machine tool for the production of automotive precision parts, as the beginning of Hongxin Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing.
The previous research and development and construction of maglev vehicles and maglev intelligent roads have not stopped. Without the supply of foreign parts, their team is only temporarily difficult to mass-produce, and it is not a big problem for individual R&D.
When the situation in the domestic automobile industry was tense, the first generation of Pengyun Automobile's maglev car was finally developed under the leadership of Dongfang Hao!
"Haha, Daddy, you're going to give me a lot of credit this time. You don't know how stupid those human experts are, they have to ask me about the principle and structure of the little question, and they are annoyed. Dongfang Hao triumphantly asked Lu Zixin to ask for credit.
"It was a good performance. Lu Zixin praised, "But whether you remember the merits or not, I want to test the car first." ”
