After looking down and calculating, the old man gave a number that made Chen Geng almost bite his tongue: "At least 1.2 million!" ”

"So much?"

At the moment, 1.2 million is definitely not a small number.

"How much is that?" The old man laughed: "I will match it in the most streamlined way, if I do it according to SAIC's previous practice, don't even think about it if I don't have 2 million." ”

"1.2 million is too much, is there no other way?" Chen Geng frowned and said, it is impossible for the current Runhua Industry to come up with such a huge sum of 800,000 yuan.

"No way, if you want to achieve an annual production capacity of 150,000 engines, there is only so much, and ......" The old man paused: "Even if it is 50,000 units, in fact, the funds needed are not much." ”

Chen Geng nodded, but he also understood the meaning of the old man's words: some equipment must be added, and there may only be one, your annual output of 50,000 units is this machine, and the annual output of 150,000 units is still this machine, but it is not okay not to buy it.

"Can you find a way to compress it again? Our unit will build a research institute and a house in the magic capital next year, and the funds are not abundant. ”

"There's really no way," the old man was also smiling bitterly: "Either don't build a house for the time being, or set a lower goal." ”

When he spoke, the old man secretly observed Chen Geng's reaction, because he knew very well that the biggest reason why these old guys from SAIC Engine Factory were willing to come to work in Runhua Industry was Chen Geng's previous commitment to build a house. The reason is of course very simple, Chen Geng promised him, he can also divide a three-bedroom and two-living room house, or make up the difference and get two sets of two-bedroom and one-living room.

The old man has two sons and a daughter, although the eldest and youngest of the old family are already in junior high school, but as far as housing is concerned, there is no local in the magic capital who is not short of houses.

"No......" Chen Geng frowned, he felt that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" The old man was a little puzzled.

"The cost is not right, there shouldn't be so much, I don't think so much money is needed," Chen Geng's brows furrowed more and more, and he asked tentatively: "What you said, it can't be that all the parts on the entire engine are produced by us, right?" ”

"Of course, what's wrong with that? Isn't that how everyone produces? The old man breathed a sigh of relief, he just thought that what Chen Geng said was "wrong" because he suspected that he had done something from it, and he was very dissatisfied, but now he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood Chen Geng, and he was relieved and a little embarrassed.

"What do I say......" Chen Geng was finally relieved.

In terms of the purchasing power of the current RMB and the technical content of a two-stroke engine, Chen Geng does not feel that such a large investment should be needed, and the original reason is here.

Speaking of this is also the national situation, domestic enterprises have long been accustomed to everything is self-sufficient, large state-owned enterprises have their own primary schools, junior high schools, hospitals, vegetable bases and pig farms, militia companies and even militia regiments, armed forces, and even public security governance institutions, it is simply an independent small society, not to mention the behemoth of SAIC Group, even if it is a small thermos factory that produces thermoses, as long as the conditions are met, they are eager to build their own glass factory to supply the glass needed for thermos, set aside a piece of land to plant trees to produce cork stoppers for thermoses, and even if they have the conditions, they even have the idea of building their own blow molding base.

This is the national condition, but for Chen Geng, who has stayed in Europe for many years and is accustomed to the division of labor and cooperation of various enterprises, this way, this "large enterprise, small society" model he can not accept, modern industrial production needs a more refined division of labor between enterprises: you are the production of gears, then according to the requirements of customers to produce gears, and the gear process, precision efforts to do; If you produce pistons, give me better quality and cheaper pistons according to our requirements...... As an assembly factory, I only need to produce core accessories and do a good job in the final assembly, which not only saves a large amount of capital investment in the early stage, but also can effectively control the quality of products.

"What do you want to say?" The old man didn't understand what Chen Geng was thinking, and he was a little puzzled by Chen Geng's reaction.

"I would say, why do we produce all the parts ourselves? Why can't we outsource most of the parts and only produce the most core ones? For example, Chen Geng said: "This time, we only need to do a good job in the quality acceptance of outsourcing parts and the final assembly." ”

The old man has deeply engraved his habit of producing all the parts he needs in his bones, and he instinctively refused Chen Geng's "deviant" idea without thinking about it: "How can this work?" This is absolutely not a no-go. ”

"Why not? Wolfsburg Automobile is also such a division of labor, the engine on Poussin, their own production of parts is less than 70%, and the rest of more than 30% of the spare parts are all purchased from other companies. ”

"Because...... Because ......"

The words "because" came to Mr. Xie's mouth, but he couldn't say the words after "because" anyway, Chen Geng's words directly subverted Mr. Xie's way of thinking: The 1.8L engine on Poussin, Wolfsburg's own production of parts is less than 70%?

The old man was extremely shocked by this.

"It's true," Chen Geng explained to him: "When I chatted with the engineers sent by Wolfsburg, they told me that the engine parts produced by Wolfsburg now include engine bodies, oil pans, middle cylinders, crankshafts, connecting rods, camshafts, valves, etc., and the gears inside, the pipes outside, the timing belts, the springs of the valve system, the sealing washers, the water pumps, the oil pumps, etc., are all purchased, oh, one of their big partners is the German Bosch company."

If you take a closer look at the parts of the Poussin sedan sent by Wolfsburg, in fact, there are very few parts produced by Wolfsburg, and many parts are marked with the trademarks of Garrett, Valeo, Sachs and other world-famous auto parts companies. ”

The old man froze.

From the time the Germans sent the first complete set of Poussin parts in 83, they did not even notice this at all!

I have never thought about it, I can produce some of the most high-tech core parts by myself, and some parts that are not very precise and undemanding are handed over to other factories to produce-the old man actually does not know that many high-precision parts and even finished products are also purchased from other companies.

The impact is huge, but as a factory director with more than 40 years of management experience, after abandoning the prejudices and barriers in his heart, the old man immediately realized the benefits of this division of labor and cooperation:

reduced investment in fixed assets;

Stricter quality requirements can be put forward for supporting parts suppliers to ensure quality, because we are not an enterprise, and we don't have to give each other too much face when there is a quality problem;

Third, and most importantly, you can quickly expand the scale of production: an annual output of 50,000 engines requires 1 gear factory, when I need to increase the production capacity to 150,000, if your production capacity can keep up, I will continue to cooperate with you, if your production capacity can not keep up, it is a big deal that I will find two gear factories to match, but for me, the cost investment has hardly increased.

The only question is, will any company be willing to work with us?

As soon as this idea came out, the old man himself laughed: how could there be a company that was not happy?

Now looking at the country, in addition to those enterprises that are guaranteed by the state, the vast majority of enterprises are not very prosperous, and everyone can't find a business, who will push the business sent to the door?

The motorcycle engine is a super simplified engine, and the two-stroke gasoline engine is to simplify the internal structure of the engine to the extreme, with Chen Geng's design of the 100CC displacement of the two-stroke gasoline engine, if you remove the transmission system, the engine only needs dozens of parts to run!

Runhua Industry is now looking for someone to help them produce just the gear gear of this 100CC two-stroke gasoline engine, the impact of the transmission gear of this engine is not very large, the forged steel made of ordinary carbon steel can be competent, and the accuracy can only be regarded as average. amp; The accuracy of the four-speed gearbox on the sea car is quite equivalent, basically the domestic enterprises with certain technical strength and gear batch processing capabilities, as long as they are in strict accordance with the regulations can produce qualified products.

Since the accuracy requirements are not high, why do you have to bother to produce it yourself, you can completely outsource this part of the product. The old man felt that his previous brain could be completely lost.

"This method is good," the old man is good, he is not unaware of the benefits of such a division of labor and cooperation, but for decades he has been accustomed to producing everything by himself, and his thoughts have not been thought in this direction at all, and now he is inspired by Chen Geng, and the wisdom that the old man has been holding back for decades suddenly burst out: "I see, not only gears, such as bearings, connecting rods, piston rings and other things, we can also outsource them, and even pistons can also do it, we can make our own crankshafts with the highest precision requirements, I'll do the math...... If we outsource a large number of people, it will be about 200,000 yuan at most, which is still a clean assembly workshop and warehouse, but the training of quality inspection personnel must be grasped immediately. ”
