Chapter 0551 FAW-Volkswagen

Month, Spring City.

I don't know how many times Zhou Jingming has been here, at the beginning, it was because he helped FAW design the "Hongqi Dongfeng" car, and he needed to come here from time to time for technical disclosure, but since then, Zhou Jingming has rarely come here.

However, after entering the ninety-three years, because of the "500,000 Plan", this is the fifth time that Zhou Jingming has come here this year. In the first three times, the Xiaofuwa car production base in Spring City was still under construction, and the last time it was to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the production base here.

The production base of Xiaofuwa car in Chuncheng is located in the automobile park of Chuncheng, and the east of the factory is the production base of FAW, and then to the east, it is the headquarters of FAW-Volkswagen that was just established the year before (1991).

Because the annual production capacity of Chuncheng is 150,000 vehicles, which is larger than the scale of any production base of Tianming Company, it is almost impossible to see the end from the gate of the factory.

In the factory area, in addition to the four major workshops of the vehicle factory and the supporting engine, transmission axle assembly workshop, there is also a large piece of self-reserved land, this site, Zhou Jingming intends to be used to build a luxury car production base in the future, for the planning of the spring city, at first Zhou Jingming did not think about such a hurry to settle here, but because of Li Mingzhe, Zhou Jingming had to lay out here in advance.

As an automobile city, the diversification of competition is indeed very necessary, so after Li Mingzhe found himself, Zhou Jingming agreed directly without saying a word, but Zhou Jingming didn't want to use this as a production base, so he has been thinking about what kind of role he wants to plan Spring City into.

Later, thinking of the positioning of Hongqi sedan, Zhou Jingming finally determined that Chuncheng will become the luxury car R&D and production center of Tianming Automobile Company in China in the future, and the luxury car built by Zhou Jingming is directly benchmarked against ultra-luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

As for how to build this place into an unprecedented luxury car R&D and production center, Zhou Jingming also has a preliminary plan, which will be implemented slowly later.

"For the rest of the year, you will continue to produce at full capacity here, and when we start in January next year, we will slow down the cycle time of the production line and assemble it at a scale of 50,000 vehicles per year. In the assembly workshop, Zhou Jingming, who was wearing a labor protection equipment, said to Li Jianbin, the current director of the factory.

This Li Jianbin was originally the workshop director of the assembly workshop of the Shencheng headquarters, but because of his good performance, he was recommended by Zhao Ke and became the director of the vehicle factory here.

"Mr. Zhou, can you ask why? The 500,000 plan, which we finally completed, is it too wasteful of production capacity if it is not produced at full capacity?" Li Jianbin asked puzzled.

Zhou Jingming smiled, in fact, it was not only Li Jianbin , when Zhou Jingming announced this decision at the company meeting, many people also raised such questions, in their opinion, if it is only according to the standard of 50,000 units to let the production base in Chuncheng be produced, then why build a production base with an annual output of 150,000 vehicles, is it not good to directly build a scale of 50,000 units?

Save time and money.

"At present, the sales can not sell 500,000 Xiaofuwa cars a year, if it is assembled according to the current production rhythm, our company will have nearly 100,000 inventory cars a year, do you say it is necessary to continue to produce at full capacity?" Zhou Jingming explained with a smile.

At present, the sales of Xiaofuwa sedan in China are basically about 200,000 units a year, and in the Southeast Asian market, although Xu Weidong has tightly held the markets of Thailand, Singapore and Myanmar, but after all, it has not yet gained a firm foothold in the entire Southeast Asian market, and the competition there is more fierce than in China, and the annual sales volume is at most 200,000 units.

In this way, Tianming only needs to maintain an annual production capacity of 400,000 vehicles to meet the current market demand.

As for the back, when Tianming's sales network is completely spread out in the Southeast Asian market, it is estimated that even if it is a "500,000 plan", I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the demand there.

"Then the remaining 100,000 production capacity, just let it be idle?" Li Jianbin continued to ask. Because the machine in the workshop is louder, Li Jianbin speaks louder.

"In the second half of next year, there will be a batch of Yixuan SUVs here for trial production, and the remaining production capacity will be temporarily used to assemble Yixuan SUVs. Zhou Jingming smiled and told Li Jianbin about the company's production plan for next year in advance.

Since the company has begun to implement the platform strategy, and in Zhou Jingming's planning, the Xiaofuwa sedan itself is the same as the Yixuan SUV, which also belongs to the company's TMV platform, so when designing the Yixuan SUV, Ya took into account the problems of follow-up production, and the chassis and engine components are similar to the two models.

Going further, Zhou Jingming also considered the possibility of platform production when planning the production base in Chuncheng, which is actually a series of things, and there seems to be no connection between several cars, but they are actually closely related.

Of course, Spring City is only used as a temporary production base for Yixuan SUV in the second half of next year, since Yixuan SUV is the main product of Tianming Company, Zhou Jingming will definitely arrange a special production workshop for assembly.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou. I will definitely arrange the production here and live up to your trust in me. After getting Zhou Jingming's explanation, Li Jianbin hurriedly replied.

Being promoted from a small assembly workshop director to the head of an automaker in Chuncheng, Li Jianbin has always been full of gratitude, not to mention, being able to grow together with Tianming Automobile Company is a particularly meaningful thing in itself.

After a day of inspection in the workshop, Zhou Jingming returned to the hotel arranged here in the evening, in the northeast in December, the temperature was already minus 20 degrees, but fortunately there was heating in the house, for a southerner like Zhou Jingming, the winter in the northeast, there were two things that attracted him the most, one is heating, and the other is the heavy snow.

Standing outside the window at this moment, Zhou Jingming can overlook the snow scene of the entire street very well, under the illumination of the moonlight, a piece of white flowers is beautiful, just like a white robe.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but think of He Yingqing and Zhou Yixuan's mother and son who stayed in Shencheng, and thought that when Zhou Yixuan was a little older, he must take him to the Northeast to have a look and feel the boldness and enthusiasm here.

At this time, as soon as Zhou Jingming looked up, he just saw that the administrative building of FAW-Volkswagen was on the opposite side of the street, whether it was Tianming Company or the original FAW Company, in terms of the scale of the administrative building, it was far inferior to FAW-Volkswagen, and the red neon lights were constantly flashing in the night sky, highlighting the different momentum of FAW-Volkswagen.

"At this time, FAW should be talking to Volkswagen about the production of golf cars. After seeing the logo of FAW-Volkswagen, Zhou Jingming suddenly remembered this incident.
