083: Small accessories, big dignity

Although Mayor Lei's current position is mostly dependent on Secretary Qian's care, he can achieve it overnight.

However, from the perspective of political performance, when he was in charge of the economy, Mayor Lei also seized the opportunity, not only to improve the relevant investment promotion policies of Huishi, but also to enhance the status of many enterprises, so that many enterprises can better devote themselves to the pace of their own development.

This time, he decided that even if Secretary Qian asked him to postpone the talks, he would first set things down and set the development goals and directions.

In terms of land use, Zhao Tian finally applied for more than 200 acres of land from the municipal government of Huishi, half of which was used for commercial purposes and the other was used for residential purposes.

Because the popularity of this land in the eastern suburbs has not been stirred up for the time being, occupying these lands only cost about 50 million yuan, which made Zhao Tian feel relieved, after all, it is best to spend less like this kind of 'side business'.

Without waiting for Zhao Tian to sort out the matter of the room division, bad news came from the power department.

Because Lu Xiangfei had previously reported to Zhao Tian that the parts company Magna In. maliciously increased the supply price, there were some minor problems when the third car of the Universe Group was matched with accessories.

Many of the current design methods and common component types used are based on Magna In.'s best performance, and if you change to another product, the performance of the vehicle may be slightly reduced.

Although this reduction in efficiency has little impact on the overall car feel. But as Lu Xiangfei, who has won Zhao Tian's requirements for excellence, he is unwilling to lower his standards at will.

It's just that Zhao Tian once said that after the second car, the Universe Group will completely terminate its cooperation with Magna In.

Now that there is a demand for new car research and development, if they rashly adopt their company's products, then after the third car is mass-produced in the future, I am afraid that it will have to rely on Magna In., which naturally goes against Zhao Tian's original wishes.

This brings us to the problem.

For the world's largest auto parts companies, each company has its own scope of supply of parts, after years of development, are basically within their own professional scope, the auto parts operated to professional world-class standards.

There are only a few dozen companies like Magna In. in the world.

Each of these companies has overlapping areas of activity, but also has its own areas of expertise.

For example, the problem encountered by the power department this time is because of the several small accessories used, especially Magna In. is the most suitable.

Such a question was placed in front of Zhao Tian, and it made him feel a lot of entanglements in his heart.

After all, he was the one who said it at the beginning, and from now on he would cut off all cooperation with Magna In.

But now it really needs other people's supplies, if you directly re-export it now, and treat what you said before as if it didn't happen, Zhao Tian will definitely not be able to do it.

Although he does not mean what he says, he also has the least sense of shame, and what he said is like a fart that jumps out, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back.

It's just that the second car is about to be launched, and the third car is also under intense research and development, if the entire third car project is stalled just because of a small part problem, the loss it brings is by no means a small amount.

It seems that seeing Zhao Tian's predicament, Lu Xiangfei gave an expedient measure, but the cost was a little high.

Counterfeit.

Just like Huaxia earlier or now, there are some cars that rely on imitation of well-known cars on the market, and the Universe Group can first build some production areas such as workshops, and recruit some senior technicians to imitate the small parts needed this time.

Although many people will have a very low cost of imitation in the future, after all, other people's things have been formed, and they only need to draw a scoop according to the gourd.

But in fact, for some 'high-precision and specialized' industrial products, if you want to imitate products that are similar in all aspects of performance, the manpower and material resources invested are by no means as simple as those shoddy products that only imitate their shapes but have no gods.

After all, for enterprises that have mastered the core technology of 'high-precision', they can reduce costs to a great extent through a mature mass production model.

In the case of imitation, it is quite difficult.

Due to the relatively low level of overall 'accurate' industrial design in Huaxia, if you want to achieve world-class industrial products, you must invest a large number of senior technical personnel, and work at the same time through multiple manual and mechanical work to complete the products with mature technology.

If calculated according to the cost, it is at least dozens to hundreds of times higher than mass production.

This is also the reason why there have always been shoddy imitations on the market, but there are few products that tend to be close to the original quality.

In addition, there are many industrially developed countries in the world, and the restrictions on China's exports on industrial surveying and mapping instruments such as 'precision' have increased the difficulty of improving the overall industrial level.

When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic.

Since the first car, when calculating the cost of the car, there is about 10% of the cost of technology patent royalties, which has always been in Zhao Tian's heart.

In addition to the dilemma of using the accessories of the third car now, Zhao Tian decided to use the method proposed by Lu Xiangfei first: imitation.

For simple imitation or imitation, Zhao Tian has always disdained to do it in his heart.

But this time, it's not just imitation for imitation's sake.

Instead, he has decided that the models he produces in the future will be 100% 'original'.

In view of the fact that the current automobiles are basically tending to the development of unified standards and general-purpose accessories, and the car-making platforms of major car manufacturers are also moving towards unification, the development model of auto parts in the future will also enter a unified standard.

Since everyone will make the same at that time, there is no question of imitation or non-imitation, but relying on quality to win.

Whoever has higher performance and better quality wins.

Moreover, even if Zhao Tian has the intention to pursue a new type of parts model, but in view of the fact that there are at least tens of thousands of spare parts in the whole vehicle, the amount of work is really huge, he asked himself that he could not do it in a short period of time, and the current expedient measures can only be developed while groping to do.

With the problem of several accessories, Zhao Tian allocated 500 million funds from the Ministry of Finance and authorized Lu Xiangfei to be responsible for the imitation and research and development of related accessories.

It's just that although this kind of thing is not embarrassing to say, it is not a glorious thing either.

After all, spending such a big cost, just for a few small parts, for many people, is a matter of sacrifice.

But I don't know that small accessories are sometimes big dignity.

As for the matter of allocating money to engage in counterfeiting, out of prudence, Zhao Tian temporarily put this project under the name of the power department, and did not re-plan a new company or department.
