Sports, youth, fashion, and even the Internet, the major car companies in later generations, for the excavation of specific consumer groups, has reached the point of "precision guidance", the positioning of a new car and the launch of the crowd, to a large extent, will determine the sales of a car.

In the early eighties, the international oil price remained at a stable level, whether it was domestic or Western countries, the fuel consumption of the car was not so concerned, the car with high power and high fuel consumption, on the contrary, was highly sought after by consumers, Ma Tianning proposed to use the VR6 engine on the Santana car, which really gave Zhou Jingming a lot of inspiration.

Although in the hearts of the Chinese people, the most classic configuration of the old Poussin is still the 1.8L carburetor engine, but if conditions permit, it is also a great choice to launch a 2.5L or even 3.0L Santana!

"Power...... Xiao Zhou, don't say it, the name of this car, when it comes out of your mouth, it just gives people a different feeling, this is a good name! I agree with your statement, if you can really assemble the newly developed engine on the Santana in the future, it will be called the Santana power model!" Ma Tianning, who heard this name for the first time, immediately said with a smile.

Even Li Mingzhe on the side couldn't help but smile, "It's still a young person with a flexible brain, and we can't change it, what kind of classic and power model, isn't it all called Santana!"

"What does Minister Ma mean by agreeing to the plan I proposed?" The name was only casually mentioned by Zhou Jingming, this is only secondary, and more importantly, whether the proposed plan can be adopted.

"Of course I have to agree to the good proposal, the arrangement of engine localization will be implemented according to the plan you said Xiao Zhou, like this," Ma Tianning looked at Luo Yuzhong again, "The personnel arrangement of Shencheng Agricultural Machinery Engine Research Institute and the automobile engine factory will be organized by you, and you will directly name those people who need to participate in the project team, and if you still need personnel outside these two units, you can also put it forward, and we will do our best to meet you." ”

"Okay, Minister Ma, I will definitely live up to the trust that the organization has placed in me, and I will do my best to overcome the key of engine localization. Luo Yuzhong hurriedly promised.

"Okay, the engine is so decided, then do you have any ideas for the localization of the rest of the components next, Xiao Zhou?" Ma Tianning looked at Zhou Jingming and asked with a smile.

Zhou Jingming lowered his head and thought about it seriously, and then raised his head and said, "I think one of the principles that localization should adhere to is the principle of proximity, which must be based on the parts suppliers around Shencheng, with Shencheng as the center, and the neighboring cities of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai provinces as the supplement, to form a complete supply system and build an automobile city in the East!"

Generally speaking, when it comes to the domestic automobile city, everyone's first reaction is the spring city in the northeast, after all, it is the birthplace of Chinese automobiles, but since there is already an automobile city in the north, Zhou Jingming is thinking, Shencheng in the south, can it also be built into another automobile city?

Wouldn't it be better if the north and the south echoed!

"Go on. Ma Tianning's eyes lit up, Zhou Jingming's concept of "automobile city" is very novel, the United States has Detroit, why can't China have Shencheng?

"As for the specific arrangements for localization, because I don't know the layout of the domestic automobile industry, it depends on what you think, Minister Ma, but I think the cooperation with the agricultural machinery system should still be implemented in the localization, important parts and components," Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued,

"For example, gearbox, steering gear, these driving mechanisms, because of the difficulty of research, relying solely on auto parts suppliers, the cycle will be very long, these may as well cooperate with agricultural machinery systems, both sides are involved, as for some simple parts, such as seats, interior parts or something, can be handed over to the relevant suppliers independently. ”

"But there are many parts suppliers in the cities around Shencheng, including Shencheng, which one or more should be selected specifically to be responsible for the localization of a certain part?" asked Li Mingzhe on the side with a frown.

"Director Li said that these parts manufacturers, many are actually not large-scale, if you really choose, I think we should give priority to the selection of existing suppliers from SAIC Car Factory, these suppliers can be valued by SAIC Car Factory, naturally has strength, of course, this can not be used as an absolute selection standard, if you want to be more comprehensive, you can use the strategy of casting a wide net. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

"Cast a wide net?" do you mean that if you let multiple parts manufacturers participate in the bidding at the same time, which one's plan will progress faster, you will choose which?" Ma Tianning paused, and then looked at Zhou Jingming, "Isn't this a bit too time-consuming and labor-intensive?"

Zhou Jingming smiled and nodded, "It's really time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I'm just suggesting, after all, there are many criteria for judging localization, and quality and quantity are the best." ”

"That's not exactly what you're talking about. As you said, the localization of important parts can be selected in the form of bidding by multiple units at the same time, and as for ordinary parts, you can directly choose the supplier of SAIC Car Factory, what do you think?" Ma Tianning asked with a smile.

"What Minister Ma said is also reasonable, and choosing the best will be of great help to Santana's quality reputation in the future. Li Mingzhe nodded, but then asked a little worriedly, "But where should the funds for localization come from?"

Zhou Jingming's initial proposal for localization funds was retained in the form of a special fund, but now Santana has not yet produced and sold, and localization must be carried out in advance, so isn't there no way to implement the method of special funds?

When Li Mingzhe asked, Ma Tianning couldn't help but look at Zhou Jingming, and the plan proposed by Zhou Jingming twice before and after seemed to be contradictory.

"This can actually be drafted according to the special fund I proposed before," Zhou Jingming smiled, and then continued, "The early localization needs not much money, and it is completely possible to obtain a loan from the bank, and the production base of Santana can be put into use in two years at most, and the special fund can still be withdrawn from the mulberry car to repay the bank loan in the early stage." ”

Other people do not know, but Zhou Jingming knows that at the beginning, in order to let the German Volkswagen rest assured to cooperate, SAIC Volkswagen's Chinese equity is owned by the People's Bank of China, and with such a shareholder relationship, coupled with the sale of Santana as a guarantee, the early loan should not be difficult.

"Bank loans? This is a good solution to the problem, after all, this project is decided by the central government, and there should not be much resistance to loans. Ma Tianning nodded.

"Okay, the problem of funds is like this for the time being, the specific task arrangement of localization, Xiao Li is responsible for you, and strive to decide all the units involved in localization before the end of this month, and then hold a mobilization meeting in Shencheng, and next month, you can officially engage in localization. ”
