039: The Storm is still to come
In the notice of suspending the sale of the security system announced on the official website of the universe company, Zhao Tian deliberately kept an eye on it and instructed Qingqing to add words such as 'relevant departments' when adding information.
In this way, the situation of the suspension of sales by the Cosmos Company is naturally passive and involuntary.
The purpose of this is to divert the anger of some of the subscribers, and with the character of the Chinese people, there are many people who are not satisfied and go to make trouble.
Zhao Tian also waited quietly to see if there was any of the car companies in this group of car companies that could not get orders from now on, and it was best to make trouble with the relevant departments.
When the time comes, not only will there be a good show to watch, but maybe it will be a blessing in disguise, but it is not known.
However, these are not what he is most concerned about now, since the sale of security systems has been stopped, even if someone makes a fuss, it will take a certain amount of time to ferment.
In this period of time, which can be long or short, the Cosmos Company has removed the stable income brought by the security system, and only the profit support of car sales is left.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tian immediately asked Li Minghao about the current car sales, "Brother Li, how are our new car sales?"
Li Minghao, who has everything in hand, will check the daily orders for new cars, and he is very familiar with the sales data, and after a pause, he replied: "As of yesterday, the total sales volume has exceeded 43,000 units, and according to the current sales trend, it is expected that all vehicles will be sold within 56 days." ”
With less than two months to go, it seems that the new car project is indeed running out of time.
Li Minghao then added: "According to the current progress of the new car project, the fastest launch time should be four months later, and if it is off the assembly line, it may take six months." ”
The reason why the concept of time is not half a year, but six months instead, Li Minghao wants to concretize the concept of time.
Although many of these projects do not keep up with the changes, he still wants to be as precise as possible.
Hearing this, Zhao Tian secretly calculated in his heart that if he continued to follow the current sales model, if the new car could be launched in four months, he could make reservations in advance like the first car.
The advantage of booking in advance is that you can quickly receive the return funds, which will be of great help to the company's financial circulation.
It's just a matter of the new car project, but there is no new progress for a long time, Zhao Tian couldn't help asking: "What is the current progress of the new car project, has the clay model been carried out?"
Recently, the company has a lot of affairs, although Zhao Tian seems to be idle, but in fact he is not idle, when the new car project is underway, he is no longer like the first car, often go to visit.
Li Minghao frowned and said: "I just went to the power center a few days ago to see it, and Lu Xiangfei said that there are a few details, which have not yet been finalized. ”
Thinking of something, Li Minghao patted his head and asked: "By the way, Xiaotian, there is one thing I am busy forgetting, about the power of the new car, Lu Xiangfei After comprehensive consideration, I feel that if the power of our first car continues to be put on this car, it may be a little bigger, what he means is to see if we can appropriately reduce a certain amount of horsepower to adapt to the new model." Moreover, since the price positioning of the new model has been lowered, will the relevant configuration also be reduced at the same time?"
Regarding the question raised by Li Minghao, Zhao Tian's heart lit up.
Lately, he has always felt like there is something in his heart, and now he has finally grasped the point.
That's all about the configuration of the new car.
Although at that time, the concept and creativity of the new car were all told by him in detail to Lu Xiangfei how to do it, but there was no mention of the specific configuration of the new model.
If the new model continues to carry on the power of the first car, it is obviously a bit too big to put it on a sedan with the theme of comfort and comfort.
At this time, Zhao Tian thought that among the first set of engines provided for Huaxin Company at that time, those were quite in line with the needs of the new model.
At that time, the 'Dragon-1', 'Dragon-2', and 'Dragon-3' engines were available, with displacements of 1.8, 2.0, and 2.2L displacements, respectively, and horsepower ranging from 210 to 290.
About 200 horsepower should still be extremely suitable for a comfort-oriented sedan model.
What's more, after Huaxin is put into production, these engines will also be supplied to the three major car companies and other car companies in the market on a large scale.
However, regarding Li Minghao's request to reduce other configurations, Zhao Tian thought about it and did not agree.
Although the cars currently built by the Universe Company, except for a few core components and interior design, all need to rely on external procurement, Zhao Tian's requirements for car manufacturing will not be reduced.
Even if the profits are less, he is not willing to follow the example of some car companies that defraud Chinese consumers, and privately change some inconspicuous parts of the car to reduce costs.
Immediately, Zhao Tian asked Li Minghao to tell Lu Xiangfei that the power of the new model can use the 'Dragon-1' engine that will be mass-produced in the future, and the technical materials can be directly asked for by Lao Chang.
In addition, he once again instructed Li Minghao that although the estimated completion time of the new car project would be much later than the end of the first car sales, he still asked him to urge Lu Xiangfei's normal research and development as little as possible.
After all, there are many things that just rush will not help.
Even if there will be a period of vacuum in the sales of Cosmos' cars, it will not hesitate.
……
Early in the morning after the announcement of the 'administrative penalty letter', Director Feng actually brought someone to the Universe Company again, and supervised the company's finance department to remit the administrative fine to the designated account.
And warned Zhao Tian that they would send special personnel to review the business accounts of the Universe Company in the later stage, regardless of month and quarter, to check whether the Universe Company was implementing the security system and not carrying out sales activities.
Although this group of people was not welcomed very much, Zhao Tian knew that they were just acting on orders, and their intentions could not be violated, they were all eating together, but they didn't throw face at others like they did on the first day.
This is the end of the matter.
In terms of the municipal administration, although some personnel have been appointed, dismissed, and punished, the most important leadership framework has not changed much, and they are all relieved to see that the upper echelons have basically solved this matter.
It's just that where will they know, the storm is still to come......
The immediate problem is solved, but Haishi still has to face a bunch of chaotic things in front of him.
The corporate evacuation incident has had a great impact on the market, whether it is civil or official, and its image has been greatly affected.
In order to eliminate this negative impact, the municipal government is bound to show more sincerity and preferential policies than before, and at the same time do everything possible to support the crisis-ridden automobile industry.
At this time, Director Wang, who was demoted but did not change his position, came out again to give suggestions.
Taking advantage of the gap between the total ban on the sale of security systems in the automotive market and the supply of safety systems in the automotive market, Seven Seas United was revitalized.
He remembered that at the time of the relocation of the Cosmos Electric Company, when there was no safety system supply in the automobile market, the Seven Seas United Company was in a mess at that time, and the sea market also benefited a lot.
