2625 can reduce the cost

Although the Yue's requests were very many, Meng Tian still reported the Yue's people's requirements to China. The Ministry of National Defense immediately handed over to Qin's domestic carriage manufacturers, but they now produce most of the motor vehicles, and only produce some key technical components for the production of carriages, such as more complex steering systems, customized bearings, or brakes, shock absorbers and other systems.

"This is a project of the Ministry of Defense? What do you guys think? The director of the Pegasus Motor Vehicle Factory said to his designers with a tender document.

"Can't be done." An old designer said.

"The cost can't be reduced to less than 20 gold, and the worst thing is that their roads are in very bad condition, and if the cost is reduced, the materials will be insufficient, and the performance of the carriage will be greatly reduced. There is no way around it. The old designer said. The engineers and designers of the Qin State all adhered to the pragmatic style of the Qin Army, and they only wanted the things they produced to be strong and durable, not a consumable.

"Maybe we have another way to reduce production costs, but the transportation costs may need to be increased." Just then, a young man stepped forward and said. He looked a little afraid to speak.

"Let's talk about young people, Qin Guo has no objection to young people expressing their opinions." An older designer said.

"My idea is that the whole tender seems to be focused only on cost, not on the strength of the carriage itself, and on some of the characteristics, such as the suspension, maybe just a few simple springs or springs. Whether there are people sitting on it or not, it seems that it was not considered in the first place. The young man continued.

"On the other hand, the steering system, and the bearings, these are the most basic things. We can make them separately to different manufacturers, for example, the Handan Iron Works in Zhao State, they can produce some iron beams for ships, and we can use their iron products to make these steering systems and heavy systems. In addition, you can also process some springs or spring sheets or something. The young man said.

"Their prices are cheap, but the shipping is more cumbersome. In addition, even some factories in Korea can process it, and their processing level is relatively high, so if you need to do better, I personally prefer to use cheaper things, after all, those things themselves are not worth much, and their prices are extremely cheap. The young man continued.

"The most important thing is that we need to further reduce costs, and everything that can reduce costs, we have to do it. Or it was produced in other factories, anyway, the Yueshi people wanted cheap carriages, but they didn't ask for performance. The young man said.

"If you want performance, it's better to get on a motorcycle, petrol locomotives are too expensive, they can't afford it, they can't afford it, they can't afford it. The best way is to be able to purchase a transitional motor vehicle, for example, a steam engine tractor, which can pull more goods, and it is easier to maintain, and most importantly, I know that there are several steam engine factories in South Korea, they can produce small power steam engines, and if they are used for this, it is the best. The young man said.

"Hmm. I see what you mean. You mean, let's look at the past and look for cheaper manufacturing plants. In particular, if the manufacturing plants in the Kanto region can reduce costs, will they adopt all of them? The director asked at this time.

"Yes, that's the only way to do it right now. If it is too expensive, the Yueshi people can't accept it, I think they may not be able to purchase the carriage that accepts twenty gold, the best way is to pay less than fifteen gold, or directly assemble it locally in the Western Regions, and the parts are produced in various countries, but they must be in accordance with the standards of our Qin State. The young man said.

"Hmm. I understand. Young man, what's your name? The director asked.

"My name is Wei Qing. I'm from Wei, I'm not from Qin, I only have a green card, I'm not a designer, I'm just an apprentice. The young man said.

"Well, why do you know this, Wei Qing?" The factory director asked curiously.

"Factory director, I, I know this because I have been to these places, I have worked in those places, but I have not worked for a long time, and Wei also has a job, but I give too little. I need to support my family, so I can only come to Qin. Also, the things I design can only be cheap, because the things in the Qin Kingdom are too expensive to use at all, so I can only design some cheap things to do. So. Wei Qing explained with some embarrassment. He was a native of Wei, not the government of the Northern Wei State, but the Southern Wei State. The economy there has been very withered, Wei people have to go out in order to survive, Wei Qing has found jobs in the north of Wei, Zhao, and South Korea, but most of these places are some labor-intensive enterprises, they are extremely harsh on the salary of their son, and it is far from enough for a family. Therefore, in desperation, he could only borrow money to come to the Qin State, but fortunately, the Qin State would absorb some studious young people, and Wei Qing entered the factory to study under such an opportunity, but as an apprentice.

"Hmm. Very well, young man, you are in charge of this project, if it is successful, you will have a big promotion, your salary, nationality is not a problem. The director of the factory encouraged.

"This." Wei Qing looked at his factory director in disbelief.

"Silly boy, thank the factory director, this is an opportunity, and there will be opportunities for further study in the future. Don't you want to go to university? This is the opportunity. An old designer said.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, factory director." Wei Qing said excitedly.

"Do it well, and the opportunity is your own." The factory director patted Wei Qing on the shoulder and said.

Wei Qing was unusually excited. In fact, for such a thing, the Pegasus locomotive manufacturing plant can come up with such a plan, with the transfer of some technologies from the Qin State, there are quite a few technologies that have been more mature in the six countries of the Kwantung region, such as the steam engine. But the power is smaller, but the potential for improvement is very large. The development space is very broad.

However, the existence of factories in these countries is conducive to Qin's procurement and cost reduction, which is conducive to the further development of Qin's manufacturing industry and Kanto's manufacturing industry. The demand of Yueshi people is becoming a huge market driving force, so that the manufacturing industry of various countries has developed rapidly.

And this also gives the manufacturing industry of the six Kanto countries an opportunity to develop, after all, such demand is very important in the period when trade has not yet developed. After all, such a demand cannot be expanded in time.
