Component supply chain.

Special fund.

What Zhou Jingming said was too advanced, Zhao Ke heard it for a while, and he didn't know what he meant at all, so he could only look at Zhou Jingming with a confused face, and asked with a wry smile, "Xiao Zhou, can you speak slowly, senior brother can't keep up with your thinking." ”

Zhou Jingming smiled, "Then I'll explain them one by one." Let's talk about the supply chain first, in fact, this is a very broad term, involving suppliers, manufacturers, retailers and other aspects, what I say, in fact, only includes suppliers and manufacturers. ”

The concept of supply chain comes from RB's lean production, because at present, the domestic automobile industry has not formed a complete sales network, but only involves the business between the main engine factory and the parts suppliers.

"The current parts suppliers of our factory, in fact, are very scattered, and the cooperative relationship is extremely unstable, I say the parts supply chain, refers to the development of a group of parts suppliers around our factory production, we are upstream enterprises, they as downstream enterprises to meet our production needs, simply put, is nepotism. ”

The concept of supply chain described by Zhou Jingming has actually deviated from the definition of supply chain in later generations, but this does not hinder Zhao Ke's understanding, and at present, the conditions are not yet ripe to truly establish a standard supply chain.

"I probably understand this, so what is the special fund you mentioned?" Zhao Ke continued to ask.

"The special fund is actually better understood, that is, every time we sell a car, we will take a certain percentage of the car's profits and save it, and if you encounter a situation like Director Hu today, you can use the money in the special fund to help them. ”

The practice of this special fund, or Zhou Jingming from the Santana model localization borrowed, it was by this money, so that the percentage of localization gradually increased, many small parts enterprises, but also rely on this fund to survive.

"Isn't it inappropriate to use our own money for other factories?" Zhao Ke obviously did not understand the essence of what Zhou Jingming said, but subconsciously thought that it was inappropriate.

"Senior brother," Zhou Jingming smiled, "You may have misunderstood what I meant. This money is not free for parts suppliers, it can be lent to them as a loan, or it can be used to invest directly in the corresponding factories, so that these suppliers can simply become our subsidiaries. ”

In later generations, SAIC Group, from parts factory, to logistics company, to sales company, has formed a huge group industry, these valuable experience, are worth learning.

"Then what are the advantages of us doing this?" Zhao Ke still didn't understand, after spending so much work, in the end, it wasn't cheaper for those parts manufacturers?

Zhou Jingming had no choice but to continue to explain, "The most direct, didn't I tell you before, the replacement of the car, with the support of a strong supplier, our replacement will be easier, and, wait until later, senior brother, you will understand how important it will be to have a strong parts supplier." ”

Foreign auto giants, such as Volkswagen and General Motors, in addition to their own strength, their success is absolutely inseparable from the support of those downstream parts manufacturers.

"I understand what you said, but this matter is not something I can decide, or even a factory director can decide, I don't think you should have too much hope. Zhao Ke said with a wry smile.

Zhou Jingming only mentioned this, but he didn't really want to achieve it at this time, so he wasn't so disappointed with such a result, but nodded frankly, "I know, but I still hope that my senior brother can mention it to the factory director, this matter is done, and it will definitely be beneficial and harmless for our factory." ”

After coming out of Zhao Ke, Zhou Jingming did not delay, and walked directly towards the library, and the selection of tightening tools was not completed, Zhou Jingming hoped that the preliminary plan for technical transformation could be finalized today.

As for the special fund, Zhou Jingming also knows that he can't be in a hurry, and he has to go step by step. In fact, after Zhou Jingming came to work here, everything he did was undertaken, and then as long as the technical transformation was completed, the replacement of models and the strengthening of the construction of parts suppliers, these two tasks could be put on the agenda.

After Zhou Jingming arrived at the library, He Yingqing was already sitting there, and after seeing him, she hurriedly waved at him.

"I'm sorry, I was delayed just now, so I'm late. Zhou Jingming walked quickly to He Yingqing and said apologetically.

"It's okay, I've just arrived. He Yingqing smiled and shook her head, "But the book you're looking for doesn't seem to be available in the library." ”

Because He Yingqing is familiar with the library's collection of books, what books need to be read, Zhou Jingming will ask He Yingqing to help find it.

Zhou Jingming frowned slightly, "If you don't have it, then it's a little troublesome." ”

Without this tool manual, the selection of tightening tools is not easy to do, Zhou Jingming can't always choose according to the memory of his previous life, in this case, it is still a question whether he can buy it.

"But there seems to be a book in the data room of the Electrical and Mechanical Bureau, which proves that I have opened it for you, or you should run again." With that, He Yingqing picked up a certificate from the table and handed it to Zhou Jingming.

"Thank you, great work. Zhou Jingming took the certificate and said with a smile.

After taking the certificate, Zhou Jingming went directly to the Mechanical and Electrical Bureau by car, this is the third time he has gone to borrow materials in this week, and after arriving at the data room of the Mechanical and Electrical Bureau, Zhou Jingming didn't even take out the certificate, and the administrator said to him, "Here you go again? Say, what book do you want to read this time?" ”

has been here so many times, and the administrator has known Zhou Jingming for a long time.

Zhou Jingming immediately told him the title of the book he wanted to borrow, and after the administrator checked it, he said with a slightly apologetic face, "I'm sorry, the book you want happened to be borrowed by that person." ”

Following the direction pointed by the administrator, Zhou Jingming looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt, sitting in the corner and reading a book seriously.

"It's okay, I'll go wait a minute. Zhou Jingming shook his head and said softly.

Walking to a table adjacent to the person, Zhou Jingming sat down gently, and then took out a notebook and looked carefully from the first page, which recorded in detail the prices, manufacturers, models and sketches of various equipment.

"Little comrade, I just heard it, do you want to read this tool manual too?" Not long after Zhou Jingming sat down, the man next to him raised his head and asked softly.

"It's okay, you see first, I'll wait a little longer. Zhou Jingming responded with a smile.

"Look at your overalls, they should be from SAIC Car Factory. The man looked at Zhou Jingming's shirt, and then asked with some curiosity, "You want to read this book, what's the matter, you also need to replace the tightening equipment in your factory?"

"That's right, next year our factory will carry out technical transformation, so I will choose the model of the equipment. Zhou Jingming didn't hide anything, and replied directly.

"Oh, judging by your tone, you seem to be an expert," the man became interested, "or else, I would like to ask you a few questions?"
