Chapter 723: Little Devils Have Nothing to Fear
The little devil is coming, not only Runhua Industry is a little worried about the impact of the little devil on himself, but even the dealers and supporting enterprises of Runhua Industry are also worried, and the degree of worry is even more powerful than Chen Geng imagined, and the pessimism is very serious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"The old grandson of Dengying Cable Factory called me and asked me if Suzuki motorcycles will be greatly anxious about our market space after they come in?" At the meeting held specifically to deal with the little devils after returning to Haizhou, Mr. Xie's solemn expression fully explained the severity of the situation faced by Runhua Industry: "Not only Lao Sun, but also Qindao Bulb Factory and Hangcheng Rubber Factory, our old relatives have called me, and everyone is very anxious about the fact that Japan's Suzuki motorcycle is going to enter our country, as if a big disaster is coming." ”
"So, we must settle people's hearts as soon as possible." Tapping lightly on the table, Chen Geng said slowly.
"The question is, what is the way to calm everyone down?" Pascal Schultz is a little anxious, this German does not have much confidence in front of the Japanese motorcycle industry, BMW motorcycles have been beaten by the four major Japanese motorcycle brands, and now they are in Europe, their old base of gangsters, and even Pascal Schulz, a native, began to be unconfident when he heard that Japanese motorcycles were coming in: "Everyone is very pessimistic now." ”
"How do you get everyone to settle down?" At this time, Chen Geng actually smiled, and he said confidently: "Actually, it's very simple, as long as everyone realizes that the arrival of the Japanese is not the end of our national motorcycle enterprise, on the contrary, this is an opportunity for us to improve ourselves." ”
"You mean, let's get together for a kick-off meeting?" Old man Xie was a little worried, he felt that Chen Geng thought about the problem too simply: a mobilization meeting can dispel the worries of Runhua Industry's supporting manufacturers and distributors? How is this possible?
"The Japanese are also people, not flood beasts, not so terrible," compared to the old man Xie who almost wrote his worries on his face, Chen Geng was much calmer: "As early as the early 80s, Honda cooperated with Jialing, before the rise of our Runhua industry, relying on the support of Honda's technology and products, Jialing once became the leader of the domestic motorcycle industry, but so what? It's only been a few years, and the throne of the leader of the motorcycle industry has been replaced by us. ”
Also!
Being reminded by Chen Geng, Mr. Xie remembered the king of the domestic motorcycle market this year: Jialing Motorcycle, when Runhua Industry began to make motorcycles, Jialing Motorcycle has reached the scale of an annual output of 350,000 motorcycles, Jialing 50 with Honda Cub as the prototype and Jialing 70 put into production in 1985, also from the Honda Cub family, is as powerful as the day in the world, and is the first giant in the domestic motorcycle market, but who can imagine it? In just two years, the Jialing motorcycle with the blessing of Honda's technology was driven down by Runhua Industry from the position of the leader of the domestic motorcycle market.
The old man was suddenly a little ashamed.
Chen Geng didn't seem to notice the change in Old Man Xie's expression, and then said slowly: "In addition, in order to increase everyone's confidence in our technology, I plan to organize a manufacturer's team to participate in international competitions in the motorcycle category. ”
"Are you going to race a moto?" Old Man Xie was really frightened, raised his head and looked at Chen Geng, with a surprised face.
"There's nothing strange about this, is it?" Looking at the surprised Old Man Xie, Chen Geng spread his hands and laughed: "In terms of volume alone, our Runhua Industry is such a large scale, and we haven't participated in any international competitions, don't you think this is actually a serious problem?" ”
"This is a good idea!" Pascal Schultz slapped the table excitedly: "That's right, let's go to the competition!" ”
Coming from Europe, he thinks it's normal for motorcycle manufacturers to participate in motorcycle races: not to mention the volume of 3 million motorcycles per year, those motorcycle brands that are well-known and extremely high in Europe, such as MV Augusta, Goz, Ducati, Benelli, etc., can have a high output of two or three hundred thousand units a year, such as Guz and MV Augusta, with a production capacity of only tens of thousands of vehicles a year, but this does not prevent them from participating in various high-level events.
In a word, how do you prove that you are very good? It's simple, it's a mule or a horse to come out and slip around.
Chen Geng didn't say this, Mr. Xie didn't expect it, but now listening to Chen Geng's words, the old man also felt that with the current scale of Runhua Industry, it was a bit unreasonable not to participate in motorcycle events, but he was a little hesitant about Chen Geng's participation in international events: "Participate in the competition and help the company to become famous, now it seems that the heat is almost over, but is it too early to participate in the international competition?" Why don't we start with the domestic competition? ”
"No, no, no, I firmly believe that we should directly participate in international events, even if it is a relatively low-level event," Before Chen Geng could speak, Pascal Schultz shook his head: "Thanks, with all due respect, the level of motorcycle racing in your country is too low, do you look at those participating cars, that kind of competition, that level is embarrassed to be called professional racing?"
Compared with the international competitions that are heavily modified and pursue faster speeds, domestic competitions simply cannot achieve the purpose of improving technology and accumulation through competitions. ”
"That's right, our motorcycle racing started relatively late, and compared with international events, there is indeed a gap in our racing level." In Mr. Xie's understanding, the purpose of participating in the competition is to promote the enterprise, Pascal Schultz's words are not very good, but Mr. Xie has to admit that the reality is the case, the level of these domestic motorcycle events and the gap between international events is indeed very large, in terms of the level of domestic motorcycle racing, can get a "quasi-professional" evaluation of international motorcycle event professionals even if it is a face, but if you go abroad to race, the first one, The B grid is much higher than the domestic competition, and the publicity effect is obviously better - we participated in the XX competition abroad and won the XX award, which makes people feel very good, isn't it?
"Not only that," Jia Tingliang, who has never spoken much during the meeting, also spoke, and this opening said for a long time: "Although foreign competitions are very expensive, but people have been doing this thing for many years, not only professional, but also very experienced, we can learn a lot in the shortest possible time, and at the same time can also learn and communicate with foreign high-level peers, and most importantly, if we want to achieve a good result, we must increase investment in research and development. And these technologies developed in order to achieve better results in the competition can become our technology accumulation, which can be applied to our new cars......"
Old man Xie was completely convinced, Chen Geng was right, even if Runhua Industrial's products are cheap entry-level models, and the profits of bicycles cannot be compared with those famous international motorcycle brands with a long history, but it is still the same sentence, where is the volume, it is time to go to the international arena to see and understand.
Turning his head to look at Chen Geng, Old Man Xie said: "Okay, go to international competitions, start with lower-level competitions, and accumulate experience, I agree." ”
Old man Xie has a good point, that is, before a decision is made, he will question and oppose, but when this decision is made, no matter how fierce his previous opposition is, he will unswervingly implement it.
If you don't understand it, you still resolutely implement it, let alone this kind of order that has been explained, as long as Old Man Xie says "yes!" Then there is no need to doubt yourself.
But the old man Xie scratched his head and said: "It's at least next year to participate in the competition, the top priority is how to convince everyone and stabilize the morale of the army, do you have any ideas about this?" ”
After speaking, the old man laughed at himself: "Don't count on me about this, I'm still a head of mush." ”
"You think too highly of the little devil, how can you use your old man to deal with the little devil?" Chen Geng snorted contemptuously: "Old man, you are watching from the side, don't look at the momentum of the little devils this time, but then there is a time when they cry - the Chinese market can make a lot of money, but not all cats and dogs can make a lot of money." ”
"Good! I'm relieved to have your words. Looking at Chen Geng with a confident face, Old Man Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was inexplicably much more relaxed.
Chen Geng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is that Dong Minzhu now?" ”
"Xiao Dong is really doing a good job, the business she is responsible for is now being done by her," Old Man Xie immediately understood what Chen Geng meant, and frowned: "Isn't this responsibility a bit big?" Can she be a woman who can carry it? ”
"Always give her a chance to exercise, people's abilities grow up in continuous grinding, we always protect her like this, he can't grow up, don't you say?"
"It's okay," Old Man Xie is just in love, but since Chen Geng decided to use this matter to sharpen that Dong Minzhu, then it's okay to sharpen it, Chen Geng is right, people can always grow up in this kind of continuous grinding, not to mention that the business she is in charge of now is almost the same, and finally nodded: "Then I'll call her and ask her to come over." ”
"Okay, you can also put a burden on her appropriately."
