Chapter 365: A flash of inspiration
PS: Brothers, revised. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Secretary Ma's requirements are not high, he didn't expect to be able to control anything, Xiangnan Second Automobile Factory does not have the economic strength, his idea is very simple, as long as Xiangnan Second Automobile Factory becomes a partner in the Runhua Industrial Engine Project, even if it is only a small shareholder, it doesn't matter, as long as he can get the goods at a relatively preferential price, and there are some preferential rights and care, this investment is worth it.
Since Secretary Ma didn't have any unrealistic ideas, of course Chen Geng would not refuse this kind of money sent to the door, he nodded and said: "Okay, how to cooperate specifically, we will discuss it in detail later." ”
Secretary Ma nodded again and again and said that there was no problem, and the next details of the cooperation were the "private affairs" between the Second Automobile Factory of Xiangnan and Runhua Industry, and of course the details of the cooperation did not want to be known by others.
But Secretary Ma and Chen Geng initially reached a cooperation intention, but the other units attending the meeting were envious, Runhua Industrial plans to expand the engine manufacturing plant, allow other other shares to a certain extent, which is completely unexpected by everyone, before everyone did not expect that this thing can be done, but with Secretary Ma's pearl in front, if you don't know what to do, so many years will be in vain......
"Manager Chen, since the Xiangnan factory can be a shareholder, our Jin Dong factory can also be a shareholder, right? Our requirements are the same as those of Secretary Ma. ”
"Yes, yes, Manager Chen, you have to treat everyone equally, and a bowl of water is even."
If you are in a hurry, you have already shouted directly: "Manager Chen, we want 500 engines a year, how much do you think we should pay?" ”
looks like a brother is a local tyrant and his brother is not bad for money.
Seeing these guys shamelessly learn from themselves, Secretary Ma was anxious: You follow the same example, can I still make a cheap profit? It's just that although I want to scold everyone, I don't know what to say.
Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Chen Geng's heart moved, and a thought suddenly came to him: Heke is a rich resource, can you make use of it?
The tacit understanding between Old Man Xie and Chen Geng was indescribable, seeing Chen Geng's eyes floating, the old man immediately realized that this kid seemed to be starting to think about something again, and asked in a low voice: "What the hell are you kid fighting again?" ”
Chen Geng didn't answer immediately, but asked Old Man Xie rhetorically: "Old man, these units that came today, including ourselves, and then remove BAIC, are basically the core strength of our domestic production of jeeps, right?" ”
The old man nodded: "Almost, what do you kid want to say?" ”
Chen Geng touched his chin and said in a low voice: "What I want to say is that you also know that the larger the production scale, the lower the cost, if we find a way to unite everyone and set up an automobile alliance, we produce the same model and implement the same quality standards, not only the cost can be reduced a lot, but the quality of the product should not be very surprised, right?" ”
"You kid want to unite the big guys? You are crazy? Old Man Xie was taken aback by Chen Geng's idea, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said to Chen Geng: "You kid, I don't even know what to say about you, let's just say a little, who will you listen to after the establishment of this alliance?" You kid is trying to make the big guys listen to you, but look at these guys present, all of them are human spirits, why should they listen to you? ”
"Of course they won't listen to me, but what if it's the old man and you stand up?"
"I'm coming forward?" The old man was stunned for a moment.
With Xie Minsheng's status in the industry, if he stands up, Chen Geng's idea is really feasible, but the question is what is the benefit of doing so for Runhua Industry? Just to reduce some costs? The old man felt that this reason was too far-fetched, and it was not convincing enough.
"That's right, you come forward," Chen Geng nodded, and continued: "I have an idea now, let's discuss it in detail when we go back." ”
"Okay." The old man answered.
…………………………………………
10 units, each of which wants to get involved, and even the 3 that have temporarily stopped production are swearing that money is not a problem, as long as Runhua Industry allows itself to become a shareholder, they will find a way to turn around, even if they go to the office of the superior leader to roll, they will find a way to get money, so they must be given a chance......
That's where it takes time to coordinate.
However, in line with Chen Geng's intentions, he can just use this time to perfect the ideas in his mind, to be honest, although he has such an idea in his head, but what should he do, he doesn't have a perfect idea in his mind now.
Old man Xie cares a lot about what Chen Geng thinks, countless facts in the past have proved that Chen Genghe's occasional flash of inspiration is an incomparably important wealth lower than that of Runhua Industry, if Chen Geng's head is also flashing this time......
As soon as today's meeting ended, Chen Geng was dragged into his office by Old Man Xie, closed the door, and told the secretary that no one would come except for the heavyweight leader, and the old man asked eagerly: "Boy, hurry up, tell me what you think." ”
"To be honest, I don't even know what my own thoughts are," Chen Geng said suddenly, "It's just that such an idea suddenly came up and wanted to organize everyone......"
"Just an idea?" The old man was a little disappointed and said, "Didn't you go into details?" ”
"Yes, it's just an idea," Chen Geng himself was embarrassed: "There is no detail." ”
"Then it's useless," the old man shook his head helplessly: "The current 212 is a standard design, everyone makes cars according to this mold, and the cost has almost been reduced to the minimum, and there is no way to reduce it." ”
Chen Geng also frowned, the old man was right, now all the enterprises that produce 212 jeeps in the country are producing "public version" models, the cost has been reduced to the limit, how can it be reduced again? Well......
"That's not right!" Chen Geng said suddenly.
Old Man Xie was taken aback by Chen Geng's words, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The cost is not right!" Chen Geng said categorically: "The production cost of 212 can not only be reduced, but also reduced a lot!" ”
"Really? What is your basis? "Old man Xie is also excited, if the cost of 212 has a lot of room to fall, no, it doesn't need a lot, even if it is only 20%, Runhua Industrial will have much more room for operation in operation.
"Of course it's true," Chen Geng nodded: "We used to have a problem with our thinking, we always felt that the cost of parts and components had been reduced to the limit, and we wanted to ask the management and supply chain to ask for the cost, but we forgot that it was possible to reduce the cost by replacing some parts with other materials, such as the water tank, now our water tank is pure copper, what if it is replaced with an aluminum water tank?" How much can the cost go down? ”
"The water tank was replaced with aluminum?" The old man was stunned for a moment: Can you still reduce costs like this?
But the next moment, the old man suddenly had a feeling that he could see the sun: yes, why can't he do this? As long as the heat dissipation efficiency of the engine is ensured, does it matter whether the aluminum water tank or the copper water tank is important? The price of copper is so expensive......
"In addition to the water tank, there are also front and rear steel bumpers," Chen Geng continued: "The reason why the 212 Jeep is equipped with such a heavy bumper is because as a military vehicle, many times it needs to crash through obstacles, but for a span of civilian vehicles, such a heavy bumper is not only not an advantage, but a burden, if we reduce the thickness of the bumper by even 0.5 mm, how much can the cost of a pair of bumpers be reduced?" In terms of our total production capacity, how much can it be reduced? ”
"There is also the girder, whether the steel thickness of the girder can be reduced, how much to reduce, this still needs to be calculated, but under the premise of ensuring performance, can we perforate and reduce the weight of the girder?" Speaking, Chen Geng's train of thought was also opened: "These are all throttling, in addition to throttling, we can also find ways to open source, for example, now everyone knows that the price of the 212 car is not expensive, even if we install air conditioning and heaters on the car, the price will not rise too much, everyone has a preconceived understanding in their hearts: 212 is this price, I won't buy it if it's expensive!"
But if we keep the chassis beams, suspension and power system of 212 without any changes, change to a new, better-looking car shell and interior, make a new upgrade that can be seen by the eyes, power windows, electric leather seats or something to install, and then install a tape recorder, get 8 speakers, the interior is a little more luxurious, and the outside is a little better painted, the cost of this car will rise by up to 5000 yuan, if you count the part of the previous throttle, Maybe the cost will only rise by about 2,000, but it shouldn't be a problem for us to sell an extra eight or nine thousand or even more than 10,000, right? If you pull everyone to share this set of molds, the cost will be lower, maybe the cost of the new car is about the same as the old car, but the new car looks more than one grade higher than the old 212......"
Without waiting for Chen Geng to finish speaking, Old Man Xie slapped his thigh heavily: "That's right!" Why didn't I think of that? ”
What is the most important and expensive place for a car? Chassis, powertrain, suspension and running mechanism, if these places do not make any changes, just change the shell, as long as the shell is beautiful enough, in addition to the cost of opening the mold in the early stage, as Chen Geng said, the paint is good, so that people can know at a glance that it is a good car, the interior, the seat is a little more luxurious, the cost of the vehicle will not rise much, but when the external publicity can be claimed to be only a brand new model, the price increase? That's a must!
One is open source, the other is throttling, and it is hell that you can't sell it at a good price.
The excited old man Xie only cares about one thing now: "You kid must have a new design plan, right?" Take it out and show me. (To be continued.) )
