Chapter 205 Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat, Fighting Against the Water
Two days later, two brand-new Humvees were bought, and Jiang Tao had them parked in an empty warehouse of the special vehicle company, and then notified the technicians of the Qingshi engine research and development company and the special vehicle company to come to the warehouse.
Jiang Tao stood on the front cover of the engine of a Humvee and looked around the people below condescendingly.
"Comrades! We are facing a huge opportunity for the development of Sinotruk Group, success or not depends on the performance of the scene, you all know this opportunity, I will not be verbose, these two cars under my feet, I will hand it over to you, how you disassemble, dissect, I want you to imitate one, the performance to be comparable to these two, of course, there must be many difficulties in this process, I believe you will overcome the difficulties, with the fastest time, to build a car. Jiang Tao said.
They all came to professional and technical personnel, and they understood what Jiang Tao meant, which was to ask them to absorb the advantages of the Hummer in the process of imitation, and summarize it for their own products.
"Jiang Dong, other problems of the engine are easy to say, we can ponder and study, that is, this transmission gear is not easy to do, as far as I know, there is no factory in China that can produce this kind of gear, if the gear problem is not solved, the engine will not be able to rotate for a long time." An engineer said.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Tao asked the engineer who was speaking.
"Now the best quality gears in the world are produced by a gear factory in Waguo, and most of the teeth of General Motors are also made of them." The engineer said.
"What the Japanese people can do, we can also do, I hope that on your imitation of the car, all the parts are produced by ourselves, the group will fully support you, I will take responsibility for failure, and you will be the hero of Sinotruk Group if you succeed, and your name will go down in history." Jiang Tao said.
The people below began to discuss, feeling that although Jiang Tao's approach was not so upright and bright, it was a shortcut, and their manager also conveyed Jiang Tao's instructions, no matter who it was, in the design of military vehicles, there would be rewards for reform and innovation, and if anyone could make a major breakthrough, they could get a bonus of up to five million.
"Dong Jiang, since you value us so much, we won't let you down."
"Jiang Dong, we are no worse than the Japanese and the Americans, what they can make, we can do better than them."
"Jiang Dong, come down quickly, don't delay our time."
……
Jiang Tao saw that his goal had been achieved, he jumped off the ground with a smile, nodded to Guo Jing and Zhang Fugui, and the two of them followed Jiang Tao out of the garage.
Before I reached the door, I heard the sound of disassembling car parts behind me. Guo Jing and Zhang Fugui trembled in distress, Mom! These millions are gone.
The subsidiaries and branches of Qilu Heavy Duty Truck Group have held production and innovation mobilization meetings step by step, conveying the spirit of Jiang Tao's speech, fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of the employees, and showing the production enthusiasm of the whole group to catch up with the gang. The special vehicle company also put forward the production slogan of "even if the difficulties are as big as a mountain, we must definitely get orders".
Other branches of Sinotruk Group also sent their own technicians to the special vehicle company to dismantle the parts on the Hummer for research, and compare them with the parts produced by themselves to find out the gaps.
A week later, each subsidiary sent technical representatives to the headquarters of Sinotruk Group with the results of the research comparison.
Jiang Tao personally attended and presided over the technical summary and analysis meeting. Although Jiang Tao knew that there was a big gap between China's automobile technology and foreign ones, he didn't expect it to be so big. The technical representatives spoke in turn, and put forward solutions to the problems and gaps found.
The engine R&D representative said: "Jiang Dong, leaders, we have carefully analyzed the engine of the Hummer, and compared it with our own products, there is still a big gap, one is the material of the engine, the other is the tightness of the engine assembly, and the other is the degree of optimization of the engine performance. Now our engine is half aluminum and half cast iron, Hummer is all aluminum, the all-aluminum engine shell is conducive to heat dissipation, improve the service life of the engine, and also improve the power-to-weight ratio; Our assembly technology can not reach the level of foreign countries, the engine is prone to oil leakage, air leakage, in extreme environments, such as wind, sand, wading, extreme cold and extreme heat, the failure rate is much higher than that of Hummer engine; Engine performance optimization mainly refers to the optimization of the shape and structure of the engine pipeline, the optimization of the fuel injection law, the optimization of the ignition time and the use of turbocharging to achieve the improvement of power and economy. ”
Although Jiang Tao was confused, he still understood the meaning of the engine research and development representative, that is, the current technical level of Sinotruk Group could not create an engine comparable to the engine of Hummer.
"Now that you've analyzed our gaps and shortcomings, is there a solution now?" Jiang Tao asked.
"Jiang Tao, we need to import an engine assembly line, send people to foreign engine manufacturers to learn assembly technology, and hire foreign senior design talents to help us improve the design defects of the engine." Said the technical representative of the engine R&D department.
"After you will, write a detailed report up." Jiang Tao said. , I "Okay, Jiang Dong!" ”
"Jiang Dong, leaders, I am the technical representative of the special vehicle company, through the comparative analysis of disassembly and assembly, the gap between our frame and the outer skin and the Hummer is in the material and welding process, the ductility and tensile resistance of foreign frame steel are stronger than ours, and the leaders of our company have sent people to major domestic steel mills to find special steel; In the welding process, we use manual welding, and there are some tiny bubbles in the welding gap, which reduces the strength of the frame, while the welding robot used abroad has accurate welding joints and no bubbles in the weld, which improves the safety of the car. Said the representative of the special vehicle company.
"So you mean to import a set of welding robots?" Tang Zhaozhong, general manager of finance, asked.
"Yes! Mr. Tang. ”
Other technical representatives also put forward their own requirements for tires, interior trim, in-car electronics and other items.
Jiang Tao secretly calculated in his heart that if all the equipment lines required by these units were put on the assembly line, and the expatriate technicians would be sent abroad to study, it would take about 100 million yuan, and if the technical transformation was not successful and the order was not placed, the loss would be great, and his prestige in the Sinotruk Group would also be reduced.
"Jiang Dong, I think you have to be cautious." Tang Zhaozhong whispered in Jiang Tao's ear.
"Dong Jiang, should we study it first and then decide?" Liu Renjie also reminded in a whisper.
Jiang Tao understood what Liu Renjie meant, if he failed in the future, he could at least take less responsibility.
Jiang Tao felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but did he have a way out? Secretary Huang Qingzeng's words Jiang Tao still remembers that he can mix for a few years and then go to other places to work, but if Sinotruk Group does not improve in his own hands, what kind of face does he have to leave Sinotruk to work elsewhere? Looking at the dozens of pairs of eager eyes in the audience, how could Jiang Tao be indifferent?
If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, this time you will go out, and if you fail, you will go back to do business with your two wives. Jiang Tao's eyes showed a resolute look.
"Comrades! Everyone has worked hard, and on behalf of the party committee of the group and other leaders of the group, thank you. After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply on the stage.
The audience suddenly became silent, and in an instant, warm applause rang out in the small conference room.
"Comrades, you can find so many gaps and problems in a week, which shows that our workers are really taking the factory as their home, and devoting their efforts to the development of the family, as the leader of Sinotruk Group, I am duty-bound to support you, to give money to money, to give people to people, the purpose is one, to create our own good car, to occupy the domestic market, into the world market!" Jiang Tao said loudly.
There was another round of applause in the small conference room.
"I decided that the current strategy of the entire group is to focus on the technical research of military vehicles, and other projects will be suspended first, and all funds will be concentrated to support the research and development of military vehicle technology, comrades! The burden on your shoulders is very heavy, but I can make a statement, if you succeed, I will reward you for your merits, and if you fail, you don't need to bear any responsibility, I will go to the provincial party committee to ask for guilt! Comrades! Let's work together as one, break the kettle and fight against the water! Even if we fail, at least we have worked hard for the development and growth of Sinotruk Group! Jiang Tao's speech was really not blown, and the eyes of the people on and off the stage were full of tears of excitement, and the warm applause almost lifted the roof.
Danning Yang's villa in Washington, USA.
"President Yang, you have been in office for almost a month, and it is time to hold a general meeting of shareholders to report your strategic intentions to shareholders and win their support." Yang Danning's assistant Johnson came from Detroit to report to her for instructions.
"Mr. Johnson, I also have this plan, since we are targeting the Asian region, we should have a deeper understanding of the Asian market, although we have not terminated the contract with the Chinese partner, but we know too little about the Chinese market, I want to go back and see." Yang Danning said.
Oh, yes! It's time to go back, and I became the president of General Motors of America, and I don't know how much trouble I caused to my grandfather and parents? Jiang Tao, are you okay? My child and I both miss you, Sijiang and Niantao will call Dad, and it's time for your father and son to meet.
Johnson was just about to speak, when he saw Yang Danning lost his mind, and thought that she was thinking about how the company could open up the market in China, so he didn't dare to disturb Yang Danning.
Unconsciously, Yang Danning's tears flowed down his cheeks and flowed silently, Johnson didn't know what was going on, and asked carefully: "President Yang, are you okay?" ”
"Oh! I'm sorry, I remembered something. Yang Danning took out a few tissues from the box on the table, wiped his tears, and said apologetically.
"President Yang, I have important news to tell you this time, the Chinese side plans to replace the army's vehicles, this is a big cake, we can't let go of this opportunity." Johnson said.
"Really? You go back and prepare, and the day after tomorrow I will fly to Detroit to hold a board meeting to discuss our course of action, and maybe the opportunity to revitalize GM will come. Yang Danning said.
"Okay! President Yang. ”
Neither Yang Danning nor Jiang Tao would have thought that with their meeting soon after, what happened would once again shock automobile manufacturers around the world!
