Chapter 201 Factories everywhere are copying, we don't fight a price war!

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching day by day, everyone is beaming, and it is time to rest after a busy year.

It stands to reason that during the Chinese New Year, it is always necessary to summarize and see what achievements you have made this year, and then look forward to the future to see what progress you will make in the new year.

State-owned enterprises are no exception.

BAIC is a merged enterprise, but it is only a merger in terms of structure, and the factories are still in their original places, after all, the relocation of factories is not easy.

Originally, at the gate of the Capital Motorcycle Factory, a group of people gathered on this day, and the deputy chief engineer in charge of technology stood in the most conspicuous position and talked with Ge Lin, the director of the motorcycle research institute on the side.

"Lao Ge, why don't you have a three-wheeled motorcycle?"

"Immediately, immediately, we originally planned to ride directly, through the streets and alleys and alleys, but thinking about it, we can't go against the rules and regulations of our capital, so we let a 130 be dragged over for us, so it delayed time."

As he spoke, the shadow of 130 appeared on the road in the distance, and the round front of the car and the round headlights looked particularly conspicuous.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The 130 light truck soon drove to the factory gate, and on the rear bucket of the 130, there was a three-wheeled motorcycle newly developed by their motorcycle research institute.

"Due to the impact of other tricycles, our BAIC motorcycle original Dongfeng 021 motorcycle sales difficulties, must develop new models, our motorcycle research institute after some research, decided to develop a new heavy-duty motorcycle, load capacity of 500 kilograms, to meet the people's growing transportation needs, although the capital is banned, but in other cities and rural areas, this three-wheeled motorcycle is still promising, we conservatively estimate, this motorcycle has at least 20 million demand." Greene said.

As he spoke, several technicians had already unloaded the three-wheeled motorcycle.

The front cab is still the same as the previous Dongfeng 021 cab, and the rear bucket is the size of the recently popular Tianxia three-wheeled motorcycle, so that the front is large and the back is small, and it looks a little incongruous, just like a big-headed doll.

"Don't look at this cab as before, the things inside have been changed, Dongfeng 021 uses a two-stroke 250 gasoline engine, noisy, vibration, high fuel consumption, now, let's change it to a four-stroke 125 gasoline engine, although the displacement is halved, but the power has been improved, and the fuel consumption is greatly reduced."

Spirited, he walked over, opened the car door, and looked inside.

The full fuel tank, the inverted trapezoidal fins, the delicate chrome partial cap, and the side guards also look very atmospheric...... However, this thing looks familiar! Isn't this a Tianxia three-wheeler?

"Lao Ge, is this really your own research and development?"

"That's right, of course we developed it!" Greene said: "It looks more similar to a certain domestic car, but we don't copy them, they also copy the Honda 125, we also copy the Honda 125!" ”

"Hmph, Tianxia motorcycles are not worth our imitation." Li Wen also said next to him: "We are aiming at the world's advanced level. ”

Gao nodded his head: "Okay, I'll go up and try it, the starting lever should be on the right, right?" ”

The previous Dongfeng 021 used the motorcycle engine of the Happiness 250, and the starting lever and shift lever were integrated, both on the left, backward was the start, and forward was the gear shift, so it was generally started from the outside.

On motorcycles like the Honda 125, the starting lever is designed on the right side, which means that you need to straddle the motorcycle before you can press the starting pedal.

The tall man sat up, unscrewed the key, opened the damper, and kicked the lever with his right foot.

It doesn't seem to be easy to exert force, but if you want to exert force, it's best to stand up, so you naturally stand up.

Boom!

The raised head was pressed against the cab of the Dongfeng 021.

Why doesn't the Tianxia three-wheeled motorcycle have a cab? It makes sense! Two-wheeled motorcycles don't have a cab, and three-wheeled ones can of course make do, so there's no need to do this kind of cumbersomeness! When you want to kick the starting lever, the cab will still get in the way, and the three-wheeled motorcycle is easy to overturn, and there is no cab, which is convenient for agile drivers to abandon the car and flee for their lives......

The institute is clever enough to add a cab, but it seems cumbersome.

When they were testing, they were all small people and didn't notice the problem, but now they have replaced it with the big one, and the ergonomic problem immediately appeared.

Allotment didn't care, bent down slightly, and began to kick the engine.

Airplanes!

Buzzing!

Buzz!

I kicked five times in a row, and the engine didn't start.

"It's so cold, you have to kick a few more feet, close the damper, turn off the electric door, and just heat up the car first."

"I've heard that no matter how cold the weather is, the Tianxia motorcycle can start with one foot, what's going on with our motorcycle?"

The high-minded question made the people at the institute a little ashamed, yes, what's going on?

Although Tianxia Motorcycle is produced by Pingwang Motorcycle Factory, there are many accessories needed on the motorcycle, and these accessories depend on the subordinate factories of BAIC Motorcycle, so it is easy for the motorcycle research institute to get the accessories, and then combine the accessories produced by itself to assemble the same motorcycle.

The appearance is the same, but the performance is different! Who knows how the Tianxia motorcycle is tinkered, the quality is just now, and the performance of the motorcycle is still not as good as their Tianxia motorcycle.

"Tianxia motorcycle has a German as the factory director, using German quality standards, let's ......" Li Wen wants to put the responsibility on foreigners, but think about it and it's wrong, how about us, our quality is low? How can this be said.

"Lao Gao, you come down first, let the others start first, and when it starts, you go up and test the car, how does this score compare, and our previous Dongfeng 021, this is much easier to start!"

This kind of thing, how to compare the scores, and Tianxia Motorcycle can't be compared, but it's stronger than our previous products, and we're also improving!

Li Wen went up and kicked more than 20 times, and finally, puffs of blue smoke came out of the exhaust pipe of the engine, and it started successfully! He expertly throttle throttle a few times, and the sound of the engine became high-pitched.

"Okay, Lao Gao, you go up and try it, this gear is a cycle gear, just keep stepping down."

In the past, Dongfeng 021 was the same as Happiness 250, using a hook up gear, stepping down on two, three or four, and cool people would also kick with their back heels, and they didn't know how many leather shoes they had broken.

"Hmm." Hold it high, gear up, twist the throttle, release the clutch, the chain behind it rattles, the tuk starts, and then it starts to accelerate.

Everyone looked over, and their eyes shone with excitement.

"I heard that the sales of Tianxia motorcycles are hot, especially this three-wheeled motorcycle, which is better than two-wheeled motorcycles."

"Of course, two wheels can seat a family of four people at most, three wheels can sit seven or eight people, and they can also pull goods, especially those who do individuals, all hope to buy one, and the New Year is coming soon.

"Isn't it forbidden to ride in the city?"

"Where to manage, if someone checks, they will run on horseback, through the streets and alleys, faster than the big cap."

"Yes, now as long as this three-wheeled motorcycle is produced, we don't have to worry about selling, we have to hurry. I heard that all over the country, various motorcycle factories have taken a fancy to Schindler in the east, happiness in the south, and even Jialing in the southwest, all of which intend to produce this 125 motorcycle. This market will be saturated in the future, whoever enters first, who eats meat, and those who come in later, will not drink soup! ”

Speaking of which, the motorcycle is back.

Holding it high and coming down from above, looking at the smiling faces that greeted him, his eyes were complicated.

"The car is defective." Gao Ju said: "First of all, the way of chain transmission, I always feel that the transmission of power is not so direct, especially after deceleration and then acceleration, the chain will cause lag. ”

"Lao Gao, you drive too many cars, motorcycles are like this, our previous Dongfeng 021 is also a chain drive, and the customer has not reacted to the defect."

"Also, this car doesn't have a reverse gear."

"Their Tianxia motorcycle doesn't have reverse gear, such a small car, reverse gear is not necessary."

Gao Ju said a few more points, and Greene refuted them one by one, he had also considered the problem of reverse gear before, but after studying it for a while, he still gave up, and all kinds of designs were immature, so he couldn't change it at all.

Finally, all the comments were made.

"Lao Gao, time is running out, in order to seize the market, I think that our motorcycle factory needs to immediately switch to the production of this more advanced motorcycle, and strive to achieve profitability this year!"

"Yes, so many factories are copying, if we continue to delay, then maybe we will pass this cusp."

"The superiors have been criticizing, saying that our company is bloated and the transformation is slow, so we will have a quick change of production, so that the superiors can see that our state-owned enterprises are not bad!"

Of course, Gao Ju knows the big guy's thoughts, and now there is no other choice.

"If you want to transform, how much money do you have to invest?"

Ren Ke, an engineer in charge of the company's planning, made a simple calculation: "If you want to change production, the factory is expected to take three months, and it will take about 30 million yuan." In practice, it may be a little more excessive, but 50 million should be enough. ”

So much money!

Everyone fell into deep thought again.

"Let's take 10 million out of BAIC Motorcycle, borrow the rest of the money from the bank, and wait until the production is changed, the product sells well, and the bank debt can be paid off soon."

"Will the bank lend it to us?"

"What is there to refuse, now the bank is afraid that we will not borrow. Banks are not afraid of losses, what are we afraid of. ”

In order to develop the economy, various banks had borrowing targets, however, in the eighties, it was not easy to lend money.

"Okay."

Scenes like BAIC motorcycle are emerging in motorcycle factories all over the country, and the hot sales of Tianxia motorcycles have made them all see how important it is for a product to enter the market correctly! If Tianxia motorcycles can copy the Honda 125, why can't they? The big guys all carry two shoulders and one head, and no one is more than the other.

It costs money to change production, but when they think about the harvest, they feel that it is still worth it!

Pingwang Motorcycle Factory.

Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, the production in the factory is still continuing, three shifts a day, people rest the production line non-stop, in order to ensure the operation of the production line, the person responsible for purchasing parts is busy every day, what is lacking in advance of supply.

Conference room.

"Mr. Qin, does this year-end bonus mean dividends at the end of the year?" Gerrish looked at Qin Feng and asked curiously.

"It can also be said that in short, our factory has made money, to let the workers feel the warmth of the factory, many factories will send New Year's goods during the New Year, however, the operation space of the New Year's goods is too large, not suitable for us, we still find that the gold is better, we pay two more months of wages year-end bonus according to the current income of the workers."

Two months!

Mr. Qin is so good to the big guys! Pangwei is also very emotional in his heart, these people who originally worked in Beimo have the most feelings, over there, people with talent and no qualifications have to be low-key, they can't do anything they want to do, there are always all kinds of resistance, and when they come to private enterprises, not only can they be played, but even the treatment has been improved a lot.

These people who are engaged in technology development have a monthly salary of more than 2,000 yuan, and if they pay another two months' salary and year-end bonus, they can get four or five thousand yuan at one time! The 10,000 households touted by the society, they can easily be!

Gerrish nodded: "I am mainly responsible for the quality of the product, since the factory is profitable, it is normal to give more bonuses to the workers, I have no opinion." Mr. Qin, is there anything else? ”

Gerrish has always been in a hurry, saying whatever he says at the meeting, dismissing the meeting after speaking, and doing what he has to do.

"One more thing." Qin Feng said: "The upgrade of our three-wheeled motorcycle will start to prepare from now on. ”

Gerrish was also stunned: "The product has only been produced for two months, and you are going to change the generation, Mr. Qin?" ”

According to European standards, the life of a car is generally more than five years, and it will be a mid-term facelift, another five to ten years of production, and then it is not too late to replace it.

"We still have a lot of flaws in our three-wheeled bikes that we have to fix as soon as possible." Qin Feng said: "In the next period of time, we will focus on solving the problem of the transmission system, upgrading the chain drive to the transmission shaft, and at the same time developing a reverse gear. ”

Gerrish's eyes lit up: "Mr. Qin, these suggestions you made are all urgently needed improvement projects on three-wheeled motorcycles!" ”

On two-wheeled motorcycles, chain transmission is very common, the power of this transmission mode does not need to change direction, the crankshaft and rear axle of the engine are parallel, so that there is no problem in the middle through the gearbox gears and chains.

However, the transmission route of the power of the three-wheeled motorcycle is very long, the chain is very long, with continuous use, the chain will be worn and elongated, the chain can not be tightened all the time, in this way, there will be many problems in the power transmission, the common is to slow down in the process of speeding up, the chain will become loose, and then when speeding up, the chain is tightened first, in order to transmit the power in the past, so that the experience of the driver and passengers will not be good, suddenly turn off when going uphill, the car may slip slope, at this time, the chain must be tightened in reverse first, in order to use the engine to pinch.

Therefore, the improvement of the transmission shaft is imperative.

Huge Wei's eyes lit up: "Mr. Qin, if it is improved into a transmission shaft, we only need to add a pair of bevel gears at the output end of the transmission, change the power direction to ninety degrees, and then use the transmission shaft. ”

The engine of the motorcycle is placed in the center, but the transmission system is on the left, so after the propeller shaft transmits the power to the rear wheels, the two side half shafts are of different sizes, however, this is also better than the chain, and if the rear axle of Tianjin Daihatsu is used to modify it by comparison, the brakes can also be replaced.

After all, as a heavy-duty tricycle, the way the lever brakes are not as good as the oil brakes.

"However, such a change will increase the cost! A motorcycle adds at least three hundred dollars to its cost. Guo Jianmin frowned on the side.

"That's right, it's to increase the cost, so our selling price will also rise, let's go up by 500 yuan." Qin Feng said.

Selling price up? Guo Jianmin's brows furrowed even deeper: "Mr. Qin, I heard that motorcycle factories all over the country are copying our Tianxia motorcycles, especially three-wheeled motorcycles, BAIC Motorcycle got the relevant technology from the motorcycle research institute, next, this kind of three-wheeled motorcycle is everywhere, the market will soon be oversupplied, the price war will also begin, we also raise prices, will customers still like our motorcycles?" ”

"We don't fight price wars." Qin Feng said: "We rely on quality to win the market. Director Guo, you can say this, which shows that you still have a good understanding of the market economy, and you will continue to work hard in the future. ”

"Uh-huh." Guo Jianmin suddenly smiled, and Mr. Qin praised himself!

"Mr. Qin, we will continue to work hard to ensure that all R&D tasks will be completed within one month!" Dangwei said.

"Well, don't be too anxious, wait until imitations from all over the country land on the market one after another, and then we will grandly launch our upgraded models." Qin Feng said.

Whenever the imitation factory comes up with similar products, we will upgrade, always one step ahead of them! Let their high investment go down the drain! The road of cottage is not something that anyone can walk.

"Okay, that's it for today."

The brief meeting lasted for ten minutes, and when Qin Feng walked out, he saw a familiar figure waiting outside, he was wearing a military coat, looking no different from the others, admiring a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head and smiled, his black face contrasting with his white teeth.

"Mulatu, why are you standing outside? Fast into the office, it's warm inside! ”

"Qin, your three-wheeled motorcycle is really good, can you sell it to us? I think this is the most suitable means of transport for our Eritrea, which is about to be stated, and this car can become our national car. ”

What, so fast?
