Chapter 817: Visiting the Factory
New Year, New Weather, I wish you all the best and good health!
"Misterkin, this is our new production workshop, in this workshop, we use extrusion and forging equipment, are German products, the main product is a 40,000-ton forging press, it can change the hype program within a minute, complete the extrusion and forging of steel plates...... In a newly built Volga plant on the southern outskirts of Moscow, the company's manager, Mokhailov, was in front of Jin Xiaoqiang, vigorously briefing him on the plant's operations.
At the beginning of last year, after Huayang Power and AvtoVAZ reached a joint venture intention, AvtoVAZ quickly rebuilt it with one of their original branch factories in Moscow.
In the past, only Lada, or old-fashioned AvtoVAZ cars could be produced, and the production lines designed in the sixties and seventies were used in the factory, which was already a little dilapidated.
If you do some heavy work, but if you want to process some delicate products, it is enough, and Russia is a country that does not pay much attention to fine processing, so the quality of the early products of this factory can be imagined.
As early as a few years ago, Jin Xiaoqiang remembered very well that when he first came to Moscow, there were many old-fashioned Volga or Lada models from the seventies and eighties of the last century on the streets of Moscow.
Especially near airports and railway stations, most of them are running taxis, and it is undeniable that Russians are more realistic about the materials used in cars, so although those cars look old, they can at least run on the road, but if you really talk about quality, the quality of those cars is really not good.
The noise is loud, as soon as you sit on it, it will be chaotic, not to mention the human-machine effect, anyway, it is extremely laborious, and because many cars are older, the control of pollution is not good. On the road, black smoke comes out when you run, and the fuel consumption is even more outrageous, but fortunately, Russia, as a large oil-producing country, their domestic oil prices are not expensive.
But drive a car like that on the street. Don't think about the comfort of the ride, as well as the handling of the driver, it can only be called a scooter.
However, at that time, the economic situation in Russia was not good, although many people wanted to change to a better car, but the money in their pockets was really limited, so they could only drive such a car on the road.
However, in recent years, due to the high international crude oil prices. Russia's economy is indeed developing well, not only the country and the rich have made money, but Russia's own people's livelihood and economy have also recovered well, and the people of Russia have a lot of money in their pockets.
This can be seen just from the cars running on the streets of Moscow, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi are quite a few, and in high-end cars. The people of Russia seem to have a preference for Huayang Power's products.
Especially Qoros cars, from Qoros 6 and Qoros 8 on the street. Qoros 9 to Qoros S6 and Qoros P6, but you can almost see all the models of Qoros car series.
In addition, the products of the tough guy series are also very popular in Russia, and other models such as the Edo model are also very common, but the K series is not seen much on the streets.
This may have something to do with the driving habits of the Russian people who like to drive powerful cars, after all, in terms of car horsepower, the Qoros series with a turbocharger and the Edo series are much stronger than the K series without a turbocharger.
Therefore, Huayang Power's life in Russia is very good, and its sales have shown a continuous increase.
On the second day after Jin Xiaoqiang arrived in Moscow, he rushed directly to the factory area of their joint venture between Huayang Power and Volga to have a look. And this somewhat balding Mokhailov happened to be the head of the factory, which made the head of the plant a little flattered by the arrival of the big boss. …,
After all, the AvtoVAZ company can be said to be a behemoth in Russia, employing more than hundreds of thousands, and the manager of a small branch like him is not to mention Jin Xiaoqiang every year. Even if it's their company's own big boss, it's good to see each other.
So when he saw Jin Xiaoqiang, of course he wanted to show it hard, after all, this is a big man, and he has a very close relationship with the upper echelons of the Volga company.
Moreover, the performance of the branch he manages in the Russian market in the past year can be described as unusually vigorous, and he also very much hopes to be appreciated by this big boss, so that he can go further in his future work.
"At present, the annual output of our factory is set at 150,000 units, and the models that can be produced here include the full range of Qoros products of Huayang Power, as well as the products of the Yidong series, as well as the Lavida series and so on."
Mohailov followed Jin Xiaoqiang into the assembly and welding workshop, where the working method of the automated assembly line was also adopted.
Jin Xiaoqiang stood in the production safety area and took a general look, the automation productivity of the whole workshop is very high, although it can not be compared with the welding workshop of their Huayang Power in Qingyuan Provincial Headquarters, but it is not much worse, just by visual inspection, he can see more than 100 welding robots, and the automation degree of the entire workshop can reach between 80% and 90%.
"This is our welding workshop, the degree of automation in this workshop is very high, we have a total of 178 welding robots, the entire automation rate can reach 89%, this is the most efficient automation in Russia a production line, in this production line can complete the Qoros whole car series, Yidong series, as well as our Volga 213 series of models welding ......"
Mokhailov was very proud to stand beside Jin Xiaoqiang and introduce this welding workshop to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"These robots are purchased from Sweden ABB, some are purchased from Japan's Yamazaki, and there are German goods, and even many of them are made in the Celestial Empire, among which there are about 20 spot welding robots provided by Huayang Seiko......"
Seeing that Jin Xiaoqiang seemed to be very interested in this welding workshop, Mokhailov hurriedly gave Jin Xiaoqiang a detailed introduction, and Jin Xiaoqiang was also interested when he heard that there were robots produced by their Huayang Power in this welding workshop, so he asked.
"Oh? Is it? How are those spot welding robots provided by Huayang Seiko performing? ”
"The performance is not bad, I can complete the basic work, there are a lot of small problems at the beginning, but then we found the engineers of Huayang Seiko, they have carried out several technical upgrades, the work efficiency of these robots is much better, and they can basically keep up with the progress of the current production line, and the performance is very good." It would be nice if they could build more robots for more uses, after all, they are cheaper than German and Swedish goods. ”
Mokhailov didn't know that Huayang Precision was also a branch of Huayang Power, as a national with a big country mentality, he didn't know much about the situation abroad, and Huayang Power did not hype about the relationship between them and Huayang Precision.
Therefore, the relationship between Huayang Seiko and Huayang Power is not well known in the international community, except that domestic car companies know more, because Huayang Seiko is not very famous in the world.
For Mokhailov's explanation, Jin Xiaoqiang said that he was very satisfied, although it is only a spot welding robot that can perform the simplest work, but this is also a kind of progress of Huayang Seiko, you must know that not all people can become fat in one bite.
"By the way, what does our model look like in the market?"
Jin Xiaoqiang asked casually again.
"Misterkin, our model, the performance in the market is great, Qoros is currently the most popular selling model in Russia, has occupied the market sales champion for 6 consecutive months, followed by our Yidong products are also ......very good"...,
Jin Xiaoqiang walked in front, and Mokhailov followed him and walked towards the final assembly workshop......
"What about low-end cars? How are our low-end cars performing in the market? ”
"Lavida's sales have been small in recent times, but the sales of Jingrui models are rising, many young people who have just graduated and joined the workforce, as well as college students, are very fond of this hatchback with a similar shape to Lada, it is fuel-efficient, reliable performance, so it is very popular with young people, my son who just went to college has a ......"
Mokhailov's explanation is very interesting, in fact, the prototype of the Jingrui car comes from the Czech Skoda company's Jingrui, and the Skoda Jingrui model, in fact, the earliest prototype is the Lada sedan that was popular in the former Soviet Union.
And because of the aesthetic point of view, the Russian people are very emotional about the square box car, after all, as early as the former Soviet Union, the jeeps and off-road vehicles manufactured by the Gass Automobile Plant were almost all square box-shaped models.
At this time, the group has come to the final assembly workshop, and like any automobile manufacturing plant, the final assembly workshop is the workshop that needs the most manpower.
At this time, the workers in the workshop are busy working, one after another wooden boxes are transported by forklifts into front of a conveyor belt, and then the workers use a crowbar to pry open the wooden boxes, take out the engine holding the foam from the wooden box, and then put it on the conveyor belt, transport it to the front of each station, and then the workers will use the hook to lift the engine, and then put it inside the car body for fixed installation.
Seeing such a situation, Jin Xiaoqiang felt very satisfied, the most laborious, the most polluting environment of the exterior body manufacturing, this kind of work with no technical content, can be handed over to the Russians to do, as for the most important engine parts, as well as transmission parts, it will be handed over to us Celestial Empire people to do well.
I learned all this from the Germans and the Japanese...... RS
