Chapter 128 The prototype car rolls off the assembly line, and Tianqi is newly positioned!
In the western suburbs of Jincheng, on a production line in the assembly workshop of Tianqi Group, several new cars with bright paint are surrounded by people.
"That's too fancy, isn't it?"
"We're not a car tuning shop, will anyone buy it if it's so fancy?"
A middle-aged worker in his forties and fifties shook his head grumblingly.
He worked in the factory for more than 10 years, and the cars that came out were mostly painted in white, black, and light blue, and people drove them well.
This time, it's completely different.
The painting workshop received an order to carry out two-color painting according to the design drawings.
When it comes to their assembly workshop, the interior requirements are far stricter than in the past. The seats are no longer the same yellow color as in the past, and have been replaced with dark brown leather seats with a more leathery sitting feel.
"It's flashy!"
"Who cares about buying our car? Can you just drive it? I just heard from someone from the purchasing department that this seat alone has increased the cost by 1,500 yuan, hey!" Another worker who was installing the seat also sighed.
In their opinion, Tianqi's main focus has always been economical and practical cars.
Durable and cheap!
This is the characteristic of Tianqi, is it really useful to engage in these flashy bells and whistles, and put the cost on the interior and appearance?
"Alright! stop talking about it here!"
"What the hell are you all talking about?"
"What should we do if the design department asks us, we just do it, and the cost control is not under our control!" Qin Ran, the squad leader on the side, reminded.
He is only in his early thirties, having graduated from Jizhou University of Technology with a master's degree three years ago.
Although Jizhou University of Technology is the only 211 in Jizhou, due to historical reasons, it is located in Jincheng, and most of the graduates also stay in Tianjin and Beijing for employment.
At the beginning, when he entered Tianqi, he had a longing.
State-owned enterprises, good sales, municipalities directly under the central government, one by one halo shrouded this enterprise.
However, when he entered Tianqi, day after day, year after year, doing the same job every day, the company's sales were deteriorating, and his heart was also wandering between restlessness and struggle.
Once, a headhunter poached him, and this year Honda's new factory was short of people, so he asked if he would go.
He refused!
After staying in the north for a long time, there is always a kind of reluctance, I just bought a house in Jincheng and talked about friends, and I am a little more concerned.
He could only bury his scalp and continue to stay up in the hopeless sky.
Until a few days ago, the design department suddenly announced a plan to create a blockbuster.
This is a model led by General Manager Zhang Junhao himself, and the intensity and requirements are unprecedented.
However, unlike in the past, this time's facelift has not changed in several major items, only the appearance and interior have been changed.
At one time, within the entire Tianqi, it caused a huge controversy.
Criticism and discussion are endless.
On the contrary, for Qin Ran, he raised his hands in favor.
As a young man, when he watched the brightly colored body roll off the paint shop, the fiery color had already caused a stir in his heart.
Oh, yes!
This is the color of youth!
To grow old in the twilight, it is better to let the storm of youth come!
"Qin Ran, speed up your progress!"
"You guys will check it out in a while, and there must be no minor problems with these cars! I heard that Mr. Liu is going to come to attend the ceremony of the new car off the assembly line today!"
Zhang Tong, deputy director of the first factory, came over and whispered a few words in Qin Ran's ear.
As a brother of Jizhou University of Technology, Deputy Director Zhang Tong still takes good care of Qin Ran.
"Brother Zhang, didn't you say the ribbon-cutting ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
"Why is Mr. Liu coming to see today?" Qin Ran was a little caught off guard.
According to the plan, the first batch of vehicles will be a total of 10 vehicles with five color interiors.
Today, they have just finished assembling three vehicles, because it is a separate production line and a separate process technology, and they may be able to complete it all by working overtime today.
However, there are still links such as testing, and the time is really too tight.
"No way!"
"Liu Ru, assistant to the general manager, said that the requirements are to be launched on November 11, and we have to transport the vehicles to Chuncheng and Shencheng, and they have to advertise and publicize in advance, so how can there be time?"
"I heard that tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Zhang will attend the workers' congress in Chuncheng, and after flying back, he may have to come and see the car in person!"
"This time, it's your chance to perform well, don't let me down!" Zhang Tong patted Qin Ran's shoulder and said meaningfully.
He knew that Qin Ran was different from most employees.
He is young, energetic, willing to study, and as soon as he came to Tianqi, he became the backbone of the business in just one year.
It's a pity that when I came to the front line of the workshop, I had a rare opportunity to let the leaders see it, so I stayed in obscurity for three years.
And this time, Zhang Tong handed over Qin Ran to be in charge of the new final assembly, which also placed expectations on him.
Hope it can be a hit!
Let the leaders in the unit see his dedication and ability!
"Brother Zhang, don't worry......."
.......
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, under the scorching sun, a Toyota Camry slowly stopped at the door of the assembly workshop.
Zhang Tong, the deputy director of the factory, hurriedly greeted him and opened the car door.
"Director Zhang, thank you for your hard work!"
"Is the new car off the assembly line?" said a middle-aged man in his early forties who stepped out of the car shook Zhang Tong's hand and asked solemnly.
He, named Liu Ru, is as his name suggests, courteous, a returnee doctor, a middle-aged backbone of Tianqi, and currently serves as the assistant general manager of Tianqi.
He is also Mr. Zhang's right-hand man.
"The workshop has been working overtime these days!"
"Yesterday I was still discussing the details of the spraying with the other side, and today there are finally six cars officially off the assembly line!"
"Tomorrow, I promise to produce ten prototypes!" Zhang Tong patted his chest as he led the way.
"Well, it's a big test for you!"
"However, flexible operation and on-demand personalized customized production are the general trend of the future manufacturing industry! You should take this opportunity to study measures to improve the efficiency of the production line!" Liu Ru advised.
When he came back from abroad, he knew very well that flexible production was nothing new, but it was far from enough in the domestic industry.
In particular, with the gradual opening of the door to the outside world and the gradual internationalization of people's horizons, the future needs will inevitably become more and more diverse.
Customized production oriented to individual needs is an unstoppable historical necessity.
Soon, the two came to the final assembly line.
At this moment, a brand-new red and white painted Weiling car has just rolled off the assembly line.
Compared to the same model on another production line next to it, it is like an outlier.
With a noble and extraordinary atmosphere, waiting for the review of the leader.
Liu Ru looked at the body, sat in the car and felt the overall comfort and workmanship.
Silently closed his eyes.
He felt like he had returned to more than ten years ago, just entered the workplace, and bought his first car with more than a year of savings!
Fashion rebellion!
But it's cheap!
"That's right, this is our new positioning ...... Tianqi in the future"
