Chapter 806: Buy a new one

Wang Haoan remembers that in his previous life, the production line was eventually bought by Zotye Automobile, which only started producing cars a few years later. Some people say that Zotye's technology is not good, and a group of spare parts are together, and there is no vehicle technology, so it took several years of research to really meet the standard.

Some people also say that there is a problem with the second-hand production line of Crazy Field, and the reason why the production line was sold was because of the aging performance and high failure rate.

After all, the second-hand production line is designed and manufactured according to other people's models, and it is very suitable to produce Crazy Field's sharp models, and the production of other products must be adjusted.

And Terui's model is not very popular in the first place, whether it is in the island country, Europe and the United States or China, this model does not sell well.

This is a compact SUV that is not much larger than the QQ and has a small displacement. It is more suitable for girls to drive, and the man feels that the space is small, uncomfortable to sit, and he also feels that the power is poor, but the girl does not like this shape at all.

To put it bluntly, this is a model that is doomed to failure, which belongs to the crazy field and is designed casually, hoping to make some money in some underdeveloped countries.

After it is produced in the factory on Treasure Island, it cannot be sold at all, so it will naturally be eliminated.

Of course, there are also some equipment in this production line that is good and valuable for Geely Motors, provided that the price is reasonable.

"Lao Li, then you go and ask, but I guess the other party will definitely have a high price, and will publicize it everywhere, hoping that more people will bid. ”

"If the price is half of a new production line, then there is no need to think about it, we continue to buy from the United States, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, at least the quality is good, and there is no delay in production. ”

The production line is a large-scale industrial equipment, and the value retention rate is also relatively high, Wang Haoan said that the price is more than half of the new one, which makes Li Dafu a little surprised.

"Mr. Wang, I remember you told me before, we can save in other aspects, we want to invest more money in technology research and development and product promotion, the second-hand production line is the same, the production of cars is the same, is it necessary to buy new ones?"

"Lao Li, what are we buying the production line for? In order to expand production capacity as soon as possible, occupy the market, increase our market share in the industry, and enhance brand awareness. ”

"The second-hand production line, although cheap, needs to be recommissioned, and some of the equipment may be damaged, or the size is not suitable for use. ”

"And that production line is made in the island, and some control programs are also very troublesome to change. In particular, the production capacity of that production line is only 100,000 units, which I think is low. ”

"Think about it, Crazy Tian has just entered into a joint venture with Yangcheng Automobile, and has also signed a contract with Tianfu before, and they want to open several factories in Huaxia, why didn't they directly use this production line as an equipment investment?"

"Either the line has quality problems, or the line is aged, or it's difficult to retrofit. Since the crazy field itself is not kept, shouldn't we be careful?"

"So more than half of the price, we give up, and whoever wants to buy it will buy it. The new production line we purchased from the United States is international second-rate and mainstream. ”

"Some equipment can be replaced, with the improvement of industrial technology in the future, our production line only needs to be transformed and upgraded, and it does not need to be replaced, and the efficiency can be improved. ”

"And this time we purchased a new production line, and we can't continue to put it in Hangzhou. It is necessary to take into account the problem of transportation, the long distance, not only the high transportation cost and long delivery time, but also affect the time from the factory to the store. ”

If there is a car that is very popular, and some places are out of stock, if there are multiple factories, then it is most convenient to ship it nearby.

Factory layout, which is something that any large company must consider. Not just the automotive industry, but almost all industries have to be taken into account.

Even in the future of the Internet industry, it seems that all the work is on the computer, everywhere, but you also have to consider the needs of employees' families, the need to communicate smoothly with peers, and so on.

Li Dafu suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, it's time to consider opening a branch." So where is it more appropriate for us to open a branch? Personally, I think it's better to choose the north. ”

The factory in Hangzhou covers the south of the Yangtze River, and it can also be supplied to the Central Plains, so there should be a factory in the northern region, and it is more suitable to have one in the Central Plains in the future.

Just like those joint venture foreign companies, they also choose to cooperate with car companies in different regions of China, and some also authorize the same model, in order to better occupy the market, better reduce costs, and faster distribution capacity.

"I also think that the north is more suitable, but to build a factory in the north, the time must be hurried, if the factory is built in the north first, I personally prefer to be in Shencheng. ”

Among the three northeastern provinces, Changchun has one gas, Bingcheng also has branches of Bingfei and Chang'an, and only Shencheng does not have any big automobile companies. There is a Brilliance, and the scale is not as large as today's Geely.

Further south is Beihe, there is the Great Wall Company, the capital has the Beijing Automobile, the Jinmen has the Jinmen Yiqi, Shencheng is the most suitable, and it is convenient to dig a few management talents from several other companies, and even dig some skilled workers.

Of course, now the automotive industry has higher and higher requirements for workers, requiring employees to be proficient in operating various equipment, able to understand the data on the equipment, and the demand for manual production is getting lower and lower.

Because the degree of automation of the production line is getting higher and higher, some parts were made manually at the beginning, and then they were semi-automatic, and foreign countries have begun to popularize fully automatic production lines.

The fully automated production line is also a milestone for the automotive industry, separating the automotive industry from labor-intensive enterprises.

Wang Haoan is a staunch supporter, think about the three major car companies in the United States in the previous life, because the number of workers was too large, the labor cost was too high, which led to serious financial problems.

When the economic crisis in the United States occurred, there were serious problems with car mortgages, and car manufacturers were naturally hit hard.

If it weren't for the help of the political axe, I'm afraid the three car companies would have to go bankrupt, and they wouldn't be able to keep their top ten positions in the world's industry.

"Mr. Wang, then I will go to Shencheng, choose a place to build a factory, and strive to build the plant within three months, so that the equipment can be installed and debugged as soon as possible. ”

"The matter of purchasing equipment, please leave it to you, and you know our specific requirements. Since you are not optimistic about the second-hand production line, we simply don't go to consult, multi-party competition, the price will not be too cheap, why waste time. ”

"Okay, that's it. ”
