Chapter 1169: It

"Why make a 7-seater car?"

Just as Li Xuewu was explaining the bus exhibition area, a vice president of Factory 17 asked this question.

"I see that this car still has room in terms of space, right?"

"That is indeed the case; the leader is worthy of being an old hand in the automotive industry."

Li Xuewu smiled and listened to him finish the question, then complimented him again before introducing: "This car indeed had a 7-seater layout version and a 9-seater layout version before finalization."

"Then why did our factory choose a 7-seater layout?"

He smiled and explained: "This is considering the current road conditions in the country, the vehicle's load-bearing capacity, and functional needs."

"This car uses the same engine as the Hongxing Lingyang car, 69 horsepower; even carrying 9 people is enough."

Discovering that some people had playful smiles on their faces, Li Xuewu deliberately followed their meaning and continued.

"However, our factory's car manufacturing standard is: one car passed down for three generations, the person leaves but the car remains..."

"Hahaha—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the scene became lively; everyone really didn't expect him to be waiting here.

Li Xuewu's face always carried a relaxed smile, and while everyone was laughing, he continued to explain: "I used to envy others for having bicycles when I was walking on two legs."

"After I bought a bicycle, I envied others for riding motorcycles, and when I was riding the unit's motorcycle, I envied others for sitting in cars."

He raised his hand to gesture to the Hongyun minibus and said: "I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone present, the country will not lack cars in the future."

"We considered this when defining this car; this might be the preferred car for domestic families in the future."

"Why do you say that?"

Li Xuewu asked and answered himself: "First is its price, 3100 yuan, more than half cheaper than the Hongxing Lingyang jeep."

"Although it is still very expensive now, in the not-too-distant future, you can drive it, take your wife, parents, and children to visit relatives and go visiting."

"Here I have to talk about the benefits of 7 seats; listen carefully!"

Taking a big detour, he smiled and said: "Family planning has begun to be implemented; I think it's enough for a couple to have three."

"Hahaha—"

Hearing him say this, everyone laughed again; this counts as a rigid interpretation of the policy.

Li Xuewu even seriously calculated for everyone: "Three children, one given to the military, one given to the masses, one kept for oneself for old age—I didn't calculate wrong, right?"

"Haha, that's right—"

The young cadres at the scene were embarrassed to echo, but the older ones all agreed with his words.

This sounds like a joke, but in reality, it's a blessing.

It's just like Happy New Year—the same—

Just think, at this time, not to mention cadre families, even ordinary worker families, is it easy to raise three children?

Three children, one becomes a soldier, one becomes a cadre, one supports oneself in old age—which parent wouldn't want that?

Everyone at the scene was smart; Li Xuewu's blessing might not be reacted to by others, but they understood instantly.

"Let's make an assumption; in extreme cases, can an ordinary family afford this car?"

Li Xuewu smiled and calculated a bill for everyone: "Little Wang enters the factory at 18; we won't count the 27.5 yuan, young people always have to date, so let's count from after becoming a regular worker."

"Little Wang gets married the year he becomes a regular worker; the couple are both workers, their wages add up to 65 yuan. Let's calculate savings of 20 yuan per month; how long will it take for him to drive a car?"

Hearing him calculate like this, everyone shook their heads amusingly, thinking this was really an extreme case.

Saving 20 yuan, the couple living, eating, renting a house, raising children—this life is really tight.

"Yes, the year his eldest son is 14, he can drive a car!"

Li Xuewu used humorous language to make everyone laugh again; this calculation was really quite strange.

Do you mean a worker saves money for more than ten years just to buy your car?

But thinking back, this calculation is an extreme case, but is this situation worth thinking about?

Wouldn't his wages rise in the thirteen years he becomes Master Wang?

Think again, if he can't afford the Hongyun minibus, can he afford a Comet motorcycle?

The Red Star Factory's products are so cheap, there's always one you can afford.

This is the underlying logic behind Li Xuewu's joke-like calculation.

As mentioned earlier, everyone present was smart; they were not only smart, but also leaders in the automotive industry.

Is Li Xuewu introducing this car? Is he teaching everyone how to save money to buy a car?

China has single-worker families, but there are also single-worker, single-child families; double-worker, triple-worker, quadruple-worker, or even families where everyone is a worker—are there any?

Does car sales correspond to the extreme cases he just mentioned?

Yes, and no. You think it's absurd, but you don't know that once the market opens, the country didn't expect that ordinary people would have so much money in their hands.

You say the ones driving Mercedes in the 90s were coal bosses, then what were the ones driving Fiats in the 80s?

What were the ones driving private 212s in the late 70s?

Li Xuewu was smuggling private goods while explaining the 7-seater car, knocking everyone's brains dizzy with one hammer.

Do you dare to say that no private individual will dare to buy a car within five years? What about ten years later?

Li Xuewu introduced this car with a joking tone; do they dare to listen to it as a joke?

Even the vice president of Factory 17 who asked the question stopped talking, his brows furrowed, standing there with eyes full of thought.

Think more; the market is opening, China's demand market for cars is broad and urgent, and there isn't much time left for them.

Foreign car companies might not even build a good car within ten years; now they are lying on the laurels of merit and drunk, and they won't have a good death in the future.

Li Xuewu subsequently used the opportunity to introduce the Gold Label Hongtu to mention this car's origin and future again.

Foreign businessmen have already placed orders, which is enough to prove how popular this car is.

Gold Label model starts at 10,000, customized design, comprehensive service, worth every penny.

Blue Label model 4500 yuan, once again proving the excellence of the Red Star Factory's supply chain system.

Especially when he talked about the large bus Honghai, the standard 45-passenger bus only sold for 15,000 yuan, completely plunging the scene into silence.

How to compare, how to fight—became the question lingering in the hearts of the car company heads present.

At this time, it wasn't that no one questioned the Red Star Factory's strength; launching so many projects at the same time, where did the money come from?

Yes, we are all the same, all enterprises under the industrial system; are you the biological son?

Li Xuewu naturally wanted to leave the opportunity to show off to Li Huai De; at this time, he invited Li Huai De to step forward to answer questions.

Li Huai De took the microphone, very humble, but with a face full of showing off, he talked about the Dongcheng Credit Cooperative investing 5 million yuan in the motorcycle project and 5 million yuan in the sedan project, used for project development investment.

Good fellow, Li Xuewu was already Versailles enough, and there was a follow-up!

Not only that, Li Huai De also took the initiative to mention Beijing No. 2 Auto, talking about the cooperation between the two sides to develop the bus project.

So that's it!

Everyone suddenly realized; no wonder the Red Star Factory could launch new projects one after another; it turns out they were taking the path of joint operation.

But this is also awesome enough!

Motorcycles and sedans have investment from the Dongcheng Credit Cooperative, buses have cooperation with Beijing No. 2 Auto—it turns out the only thing you did yourselves was jeeps!

Units with gods of wealth are all amazing, and friends who are big spenders are even more amazing; they were truly convinced.

Deputy Director Gu Litong of Beijing No. 2 Auto was invited by Li Huai De at this time to "speak from experience" about the cooperation process between the two sides.

It was very interesting, and everyone listened thoughtfully.

Isn't it obvious? Although Beijing No. 2 Auto took a part of the technology, they mainly took money, smashing money in.

The purpose is also very simple: to get on the Red Star Factory's smooth ride, get technology, temper talent, and also get rich along the way.

With such an opportunity, don't say they are stupid; if they encountered it themselves, they would also have to sign a cooperation agreement.

Then the question arises: if the Red Star Factory has such a good opportunity in the future, shouldn't everyone be rushing for it?

The people at the Red Star Factory are all cunning!

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, after Li Xuewu led everyone to tour the special vehicles, he ended the explanation work.

But he didn't have the opportunity to leave the scene because he was surrounded.

These people were all models of cunning; what was there to talk about with Li Huai De? Talk about feelings?

Obviously, the person in charge of the Red Star Factory's automotive project was Li Xuewu; if there were questions, of course they had to ask him.

Yes, each exhibition area had technical consultants to explain, but where could asking Li Xuewu be more direct?

Li Xuewu understood; those technical consultants might not necessarily understand, especially in terms of macro strategy.

He didn't smuggle less private goods in the introduction just now, interspersing some market crises; at this time, a large circle of people surrounded him.

There were even reporters taking pictures, very lively.

"That's all for now, but we are still continuously developing."

Li Xuewu had to raise his volume at this moment to answer everyone's questions clearly.

When explaining special vehicles, he also introduced the Red Star Factory's most perfect scientific research institution—the Vehicle Engineering Research Institute.

The main force came from Huaqing University, and there were also graduates and professors from other universities.

At the same time, there were engineers dug from various automotive manufacturing plants, as well as engineers cultivated by the Red Star Factory itself.

Until now, many automotive manufacturing plants finally understood why the Red Star Factory had been crying poor and begging for people everywhere for the past two years.

They had all been poached by Li Huai De and Gu Weijie; who would have thought that teaching the apprentice would starve the master!

Who could have thought back then that a steel mill dreaming in the daytime would want to build cars? They were holding a wait-and-see attitude to give people away, not expecting it to become a confidant trouble in the industry.

It can be said that after the supply chain conference, the Red Star Factory shouldn't think about digging another person from these factories!

Of course, they also knew that the Red Star Factory was no longer lacking vehicle engineering talent.

I heard they started independent education, vocational education, specifically cultivating technical talent.

It really made the Red Star Factory become a climate; today it stunned them all at once.

The pride and complacency from before coming here all turned into cold sweat, running away from their backs.

Li Xuewu stood between the Prairie Tiger and the Saber-toothed Tiger, introducing the Red Star Factory's current vehicle technology reserves to everyone again.

This wasn't bragging, nor was it showing off skills, but recruiting business partners.

Everyone present, whether it was car companies or parts factories, were brother units of China's industry.

Therefore, in terms of technology, the Red Star Factory didn't need to cover up; this was oral, not sending them blueprints and technical data.

With the endorsement of the real vehicles in the exhibition area and the test drive area outside the workshop, everyone didn't doubt at all whether there was any moisture in Li Xuewu's words.

They urgently wanted to know the Red Star Factory's current technical level, and after listening, they were both shocked and chilled.

Compared to them starting from scratch, the Red Star Factory took the path of technology introduction, not lagging behind from the beginning.

Even in high-tech fields like engines and transmissions, they had an advantage; this duel couldn't be played.

The Red Star Factory acquired several motorcycle factories and light truck automotive factories; although it was an acquisition in cooperation with No. 2 Auto, they also got the technology.

In the field of passenger and freight transport, only the heavy freight truck part had not been covered by the Red Star Factory Automotive Manufacturing Plant.

The heads of Factory 17 and Dongfeng Factory probed, wanting to find out if the Red Star Factory had any plans to build trucks.

When they learned from Li Xuewu that the Red Star Factory had no such plan, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only that, Li Xuewu even revealed the Red Star Factory's plan to replace special vehicle chassis suppliers.

Hearing this, Factory 17 and Dongfeng Factory got excited.

What special vehicles does the Red Star Factory have?

Just introduced, light patrol vehicles and fire official vehicles don't count; that's the Hongxing Lingyang's world.

Light armored patrol vehicles, the Red Star Factory has always used the Gaz 69 chassis technology; this is definitely outdated.

Even if the Red Star Factory came up with the Tantuo and used the Tantuo's chassis technology to replace the Prairie Tiger's chassis, what about the others?

Heavy armed duty vehicles, standard 24-passenger, with thick armor, with light machine guns, with explosion-proof chassis steel plates...

Isn't this Factory 17 and Dongfeng Factory's professional field? They started by making trucks.

Looking further back, fire-fighting excavators like the Jin Gang, water cannon trucks like the Blue Sea, all need heavy truck chassis.

This time, the Red Star Factory only had finished vehicle displays, and concept vehicle displays.

There were several concept vehicle models for fire-fighting, including tool trucks, cooking trucks, foam trucks, transport trucks, etc.

The Red Star Factory's security and fire-fighting vehicles were very popular in the northern market.

The reason they hadn't penetrated the southern market wasn't that their equipment lacked influence, but that production capacity couldn't keep up.

Where is this?

This is the national dual-plan and fire-fighting key education base; coming here for training must involve learning the application of fire-fighting and rescue equipment.

Learn whose?

Of course, learn the Red Star Factory's. If you learn the technology here, you buy equipment from other units?

Can you even use it!

Therefore, many factories, to meet fire-fighting and safety needs, would purchase security and fire-fighting equipment while delegating training.

This belongs to the Red Star Factory's tertiary industry system, including fire extinguishers, fire axes, fire hooks, and other utensils.

Along with them were radiators, agricultural tools, etc., which were very profitable and were cross-provincial businesses.

Why did Li Xuewu say this?

Factory 17 and Dongfeng Factory had already thought of it; combined with the morning lecture and afternoon explanation, if they couldn't think of it, they really had been mixing in the car factory in vain.

Following the mass production of small passenger cars, the Red Star Factory was planning mass production for large vehicles.

Currently needing to be realized were 12-passenger and 45-passenger medium and large buses, as well as special vehicles like the Saber-toothed Tiger, Signal Light, Hongtu Gold Label, Jin Gang, Blue Sea, etc.

The Red Star Factory said so, so what do you think he means?

Of course there is no money; now everyone's days are tight, not considered rich.

The Red Star Factory is very rich, but there are many places to spend money.

Then Li Xuewu's meaning isn't hard to guess, nothing more than technology for technology, or cooperation for technology, just these few types.

If you have chassis technology, then you can consider seeking new technical breakthroughs from the technical reserves Li Xuewu just mentioned.

If you want to cooperate, then be prepared to negotiate with the Red Star Factory, or you provide a project, or you join his project.

Don't worry, today is just understanding the supply chain's achievements and technical display; tomorrow there will be the supply chain enterprises' achievements display.

Everyone first look at the Red Star Factory's development, then look at the development of these enterprises following the Red Star Factory; I'm not afraid you won't be envious.

Negotiation and signing were placed on the last day; Li Xuewu deliberately did this in the preparation to create a sense of urgency.

Everyone talks together, not afraid you won't talk seriously; if you aren't serious, others will come to talk immediately.

Just like now, after Factory 17 and Dongfeng Factory asked Li Xuewu about the Red Star Factory's need for heavy truck chassis, they didn't continue talking implicitly, but walked aside to discuss, and the vice president of the Sichuan Automotive Manufacturing Plant found Li Xuewu.

Where is the Sichuan Automotive Manufacturing Plant?

Shuangqiao, Shancheng; some people should know this place, a heavy truck automotive manufacturing plant established in 1965.

Mentioning this might not be known, but Hongyan brand cars should have been heard of.

64.5-ton standard tractor can pull missiles, heavy truck load 40 tons, properly the king of power.

Actually, the Red Star Factory used this car's chassis; the first fire shovel truck and water cannon truck used the 40-ton load Hongyan truck.

At this moment, waiting for Factory 17 and Dongfeng Factory's leaders to leave, the crowd dispersed slightly, and Sichuan Auto Vice President Tang Rongxuan brought people to Li Xuewu's side.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Deputy Director Li, winning the first battle and gaining a lot!"

Tang Rongxuan really knew how to speak, with a little accent, he wasn't timid at all.

Took the initiative to shake hands with Li Xuewu, introduced himself, and also complimented Li Xuewu just right.

What level of leader is this? For the sake of the unit, he could really let go of his face; his words were quite pleasant.

Li Xuewu naturally wouldn't be arrogant, very humble, but not lowly or fawning.

He responded to the other side's greeting very harmoniously, and also saw the other side's intention.

Compared to the car company leaders who asked him many questions just now and didn't express anything actively, this one was still very brave.

How to say it, on the other side, there was a kind of calm relaxation, very sincere.

Worthy of being a leader, going out is really good at handling things.

Li Xuewu didn't wait for him to state his intention, gestured to the rest area, and invited him over to have a cup of tea.

Coming from Sichuan, naturally use tea to entertain, and then we can open the dragon gate array.

This is the special vehicle and technology exhibition area, there are many people, including general personnel who didn't hear the explanation, constantly walking onto the exhibition stand.

Under the gaze of those with hearts, a few people came to the relatively quiet rest area, and reception personnel sent tea.

"The conditions are a bit simple."

Li Xuewu politely let him have tea, smiled and humbly said: "Sorry for the poor hospitality, please understand."

"Oh! You are too polite; this unique exhibition is really shocking to me—"

Tang Rongxuan smiled and praised the Red Star Factory's exhibition again, and also praised Li Xuewu's explanation again.

Li Xuewu exchanged pleasantries with him, and then asked about his intention.

Seeing Li Xuewu was direct, the other side knew today was the Red Star Factory's exhibition time, he must be very busy, so he didn't pretend anymore.

"We learned that the Red Star Factory has purchased Hongyan trucks, I don't know..."

"I know about this, Hongyan 261Q, the one with the strongest power."

Li Xuewu saw the other side stopped halfway, so he picked up the words and continued.

"You might not know, the Red Star Factory's special vehicles were initially my responsibility, so the purchase of these two cars was approved by me."

"Oh! That's really a coincidence—"

Tang Rongxuan's eyes lit up, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "I'll ask presumptuously, just now you mentioned wanting to replace chassis suppliers, do you have any opinions on our factory's cars?"

"Or rather, what kind of chassis standard does the Red Star Factory need?"

"First of all, I have to explain to you the current situation of the Red Star Factory's special vehicle manufacturing."

Li Xuewu introduced: "We have technology, have a market, and even have the ability to build production lines."

"But we lack the necessary energy to produce truck chassis, and there is no need to spread the stall so wide."

He spread his hands and gestured: "The Red Star Factory only does final assembly, only does core parts; everything else is handed over to the supply chain."

"This is one, the second is market demand."

Li Xuewu looked at him and emphasized: "I just mentioned special vehicles in the explanation, but actually we have other business needs, and that is engineering vehicles."

"Such as excavators, bulldozers, graders, road rollers, muck trucks, etc..."

Hearing Li Xuewu talk about this, Tang Rongxuan's eyes were shining; isn't this the partner Sichuan Auto needs?

But before he could fantasize too much, Li Xuewu poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"Talked about the situation, talked about the market, I'll tell you again why we want to bid for chassis."

Li Xuewu explained very seriously: "We want to find all the chassis that need to be outsourced through the supply chain conference this time, and realize professional factory production and mass production."

"That is to say, the prerequisite for obtaining the Red Star Factory's chassis procurement order is to join the supply chain platform?"

Tang Rongxuan raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is this what you mean?"

"Completely correct, this is a mandatory item."

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at him and said: "If you don't join the supply chain, we have no way to realize comparative procurement."

"Whether it's special vehicles or engineering vehicles, they belong to the tertiary industry in our factory; you know what this means, right?"

Without waiting for Tang Rongxuan to nod or shake his head, he directly said: "We cannot send procurement orders to you through the Ministry of Industry; this doesn't conform to our factory's development ideas."

"Can you tell us about this?"

Tang Rongxuan tapped the table and asked humbly: "Why can't we cooperate through the First Ministry of Industry?"

"The Trade Management Center bidding plan is three or more, that is to say, supply chain procurement must guarantee quality and also guarantee production."

Li Xuewu looked at him and said straightforwardly: "If we purchase chassis from your factory through the First Ministry of Industry, what if there is a quality problem?"

"We can communicate and coordinate!"

Tang Rongxuan sat up straight and said: "We are brother units under the industrial system; any problem can be coordinated and solved."

"Yes, we can coordinate, but we don't want to be so troublesome."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and explained: "Cooperating through the Trade Management Center, if your products have quality problems, you won't get the payment; with three companies producing at the same time, I'm not afraid of you breaking the contract."

Just this sentence directly stunned Tang Rongxuan; he didn't expect that cooperation could guarantee this way.

"The same goes for the other way around," Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "We placed an order, you completed it with quality and quantity, and if we break the contract, our payment will also be gone."

"This..." Tang Rongxuan frowned and asked: "How is this payment guaranteed?"

"Red Star United Savings Bank, a commercial bank built by the Red Star Factory as the main body of the Tianjin Trade Management Center in cooperation with the Dongcheng Credit Cooperative, which includes a trade guarantee item."

Li Xuewu naturally brought out this explanation, which also deepened the other side's shocked expression.

The Red Star Factory has its own commercial bank; is that scary or not!

"I want to order from the Trade Management Center, so I have to cooperate with them to complete the bidding work," Li Xuewu explained: "After signing the contract, the payment will be deposited into the supervision account, and you can produce."

"Understood—"

Tang Rongxuan took a cold breath; this ring after ring, there really was no business for the First Ministry of Industry.

He wasn't worried about the Red Star Factory defaulting; with such a large supply chain platform, could they embezzle their car chassis?

At this moment, he was thinking about what joining the supply chain platform could bring to Sichuan Auto.

First of all, he had to consider this batch of large orders from the Red Star Factory; he also cherished time and asked directly: "Deputy Director Li, what do you think of the Hongyan car chassis?"

"200 and 250 horsepower, it can be called a masterpiece, but—"

Li Xuewu's words were winding, and before Tang Rongxuan could be happy, he had already "butted."

In Tang Rongxuan's surprised and worried gaze, Li Xuewu said very sincerely: "Hongyan cars still find it hard to shed the roots of imitation."

"And the imitation technology is also unqualified; power has dropped, fuel consumption has risen, and the vehicle's mass has increased..."

He was talking more and more; Tang Rongxuan was sweating more and more; with so many shortcomings, it seemed to be useless.

Li Xuewu looked at Hongyan cars like this, so is there still a possibility of cooperation between the two sides?

"CQ261 highway load 10 tons, traction 15 tons; off-road load 6 tons, traction 10 tons, average fuel consumption 50/100 km."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "CQ261Q/25 highway load 40 tons, traction 64.5 tons, average fuel consumption 84/100 km."

He grinned slightly and described: "Although they are special vehicles and engineering vehicles, this fuel consumption is really too high."

"I know, I know—"

Tang Rongxuan pulled the corners of his mouth, drank a sip of tea somewhat awkwardly, and asked: "Compared with foreign car manufacturing technology, there is still a gap."

He naturally had to be humble; the Red Star Factory had external technology introduction channels, which was most intuitively reflected in fuel consumption.

"If you want to be competitive, fuel consumption must be reduced by at least half."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Engine technology must be updated; this is a fierce tiger lying in the fuel tank drinking oil."

"This..."

Tang Rongxuan took a long breath, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "You mean, the Red Star Factory has technology in this area?"

He thought of it; Li Xuewu took such a big detour, it must be that he was holding technology in his hand and wanted to exchange it for their chassis.

But unexpectedly, Li Xuewu shook his head very calmly, indicating no.

At this moment, Tang Rongxuan was a bit stunned. Damn! If you don't have it, what are you talking to me about!

"Although we don't have heavy truck engine technology, we have advanced manufacturing processes."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "I don't know if you have understood CNC machine tool technology."

"CNC machine tools, your factory has them?" Tang Rongxuan was suddenly shocked, looked at Li Xuewu and asked in disbelief: "Isn't that what the Mechanical Research Institute is..."

"No, it's not the Mechanical Research Institute's technology."

Li Xuewu shook his head again and said: "Our factory acquired the Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory; it's the First Machine Factory's technical reserve."

"No wonder..." Tang Rongxuan nodded knowingly, then frowned again: "But as far as I know, it seems there is no mass production of CNC machine tools in the country yet? Have you already achieved a technical breakthrough?"

"No, our factory's original machine processing foundation is not as good as Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory's."

Li Xuewu denied the other side's guess again; in psychology, this is called bullying behavior, a means of gaining trust by denying the other side.

Why would people say Li Xuewu is rotten to the bone? Chatting and chatting, he'll give you a project.

"However, our factory has technology introduction channels," he smiled confidently and said: "I dare to guarantee that if your factory really intends to innovate technology and production, we will definitely be able to provide CNC machine tools."

What is the difference between machine-processed engine parts and CNC-processed parts?

There is a lot to say, it can only be said relatively.

If you talk about mass production, CNC is absolutely more advanced than manual, because humans have no way to maintain absolute precision in large-scale production activities.

Look at the great craftsmen, the one who rubs gunpowder for lotus eggs by hand—you ask him to rub three thousand a day, he won't be able to do it even if he's exhausted.

Speaking of which, he has a shovel in his hand, which is more precise than a machine—why?

Because slow work produces fine products; a sports car from the little devil, it should be GTR, the engine is rubbed by hand, only a few are made a year—can you say manual is not as good as CNC?

In the industrial age, especially for consumables, there is no need to be so precise; just relatively improve the technical level.

Now the Sichuan Auto Factory hasn't realized assembly line production yet, and car parts all come from its own branch factories.

Of course, this also includes core parts like engines and transmissions.

What Li Xuewu told him was to concentrate forces to do big things, and spend money on the blade.

Throw away the burden, hand over parts to the supply chain for production, and turn around to fully attack engine technology.

Sichuan Auto Factory is a professional factory; you ask Li Xuewu for technology—isn't this going south by driving north?

Sichuan Auto must have its own R&D ideas and its own technical reserves; it's just that their production technology can't keep up.

The experimental engine rubbed by engineers in the experimental workshop must not have such high fuel consumption; can engineers do the work in the processing workshop?

If the worker's technical level drops, the processing level will drop.

Li Xuewu's meaning is very straightforward: we don't produce technology, we are just porters of technology.

You have good technology yourself, just continue to research; we will provide you with advanced production processing solutions.

Why does Li Xuewu dare to brag that when Sichuan Auto innovates technology, the Red Star Factory can provide CNC machine tools?

Because the news sent back by Jing Yunong shows that Fengcheng No. 1 Machine Factory's technical foundation is very good and has technical reserves for CNC machine tool research.

If Japan's CNC machining center comes back, then the core parts needed for CNC machine tools...

This time might be very long; maybe next year, maybe the year after next to realize it.

But do you think Sichuan Auto Factory's technology and production transformation can be completed within a year or two?

Stop joking; Sichuan Auto Factory is not a small factory; it's not easy for such a large volume to turn around.

Li Xuewu's requirement for the Red Star Factory's sales department is to try to fool large factories into technological and production transformation, buy their parts, sell them new materials, assembly lines, advanced production equipment, and technology.

For small factories, promote the car production equipment researched and imitated by Beijing No. 2 Auto; the technical requirements are average, mainly for convenience of production.

These are all prepared for promoting the supply chain; only by pulling these small car manufacturing plants in and cultivating them into medium-sized enterprises can they cause stimulation to large factories.

Small and medium-sized car enterprises will slowly use the Red Star Factory's equipment, supply chain, and technology in the process of development, and will become a part of the Red Star manufacturing system; by then, they will be soft from collecting technical fees!

Small and medium-sized car enterprises force large car enterprises to implement production and technological transformation; looking back, they either have to introduce advanced foreign technology themselves, or they have to buy the Red Star Factory's advanced technology and equipment.

You think the name of a stirrer is for nothing!

Of course, the purpose is to promote technology, promote equipment, promote the supply chain, promote channels, etc., but the slogan we shout is very upright!

What the people need is the Red Star Factory's goal!

Now the people need cars, so the Red Star Factory is selfless and shares successful experiences with everyone.

In order to take the automotive industry a step further, in order for the automotive industry to take off, in order for the people to drive private cars early, we are willing to be a stick and let this industry roll up.

Ugh—saying it like this is a bit disgusting!

"It's damn disgusting—"

Beijing Auto Factory's Vice President Wang spat out a mouthful of smoke, the turbid air in his chest released, and he felt much better.

But looking at so many people queuing in the test drive area under the big sun, his heart felt blocked.

When the 212 was produced, why didn't they think of playing these new tricks?

Last time he was furious watching the Red Star Hongxing Lingyang launch conference; this time coming to see the supply chain conference, his heart felt even more blocked.

That's right, he was the one who collapsed at the negotiation table with Li Xuewu, and later they even yin-yang each other in the newspaper.

They were all old silver coins; even if there was hatred, it didn't delay coming for a visit.

If you don't come to see for yourself, how can you know that the Red Star Factory has played so many new tricks?

"Are there no new materials in our cars?"

Vice President Wang frowned and looked at the Hongxing Lingyang car parked on the side of the exhibition area, asking: "Like special steel and plastic, can't we use them?"

"Already used—"

The technical engineer was stunned for a moment and explained to Vice President Wang: "This technology was the first one we used!"

"Look, this, this, and this."

He brought Vice President Wang to the side of the 212 car and pointed out the plastic and alloy steel to the other side, "These are all new materials."

"So many? Then why didn't you say so earlier!"

Vice President Wang said angrily: "Look at others, they hang the application of new materials on their lips and introduce them as highlights!"

"What's there to talk about—"

The technical engineer said with full disdain: "Whether it's alloy technology or plastic technology, it's not a secret in the country."

"Besides, which car doesn't have plastic and alloy? Isn't the steering wheel wrapped in plastic? Isn't the car door alloy steel? Cowardly—"

He didn't notice Vice President Wang's face about to turn red, and glanced at the cars in the exhibition area: "These are just people who fish for fame..."

"Good, good, good—"

Vice President Wang turned around, returned to the exhibition hall cleanly, and greeted the technical engineer to follow.

"I asked you about sales, my brain must have been kicked by a donkey!"

He brought the engineer to the jeep stand, pointed inside and asked: "Now you tell me clearly, what is the Red Star Factory's technical strength? Just talk about that Tantuo!"

"This..."

The engineer hesitated, looked left and right, and when Vice President Wang was about to lose his temper, he whispered: "It has already surpassed ours."

"What! Impossible!"

Vice President Wang asked in surprise: "How could this be!"

He grabbed the engineer and went to the side of the Tantuo, clenched his fist and gestured: "Speak, speak clearly where it surpassed ours."

There were quite a few people here, and the two's movements were large, which attracted some attention.

However, everyone knew this was from the Beijing Auto Factory, and they all looked over with the mentality of watching the fun.

The engineer was a bit embarrassed; seeing Vice President Wang didn't care, he had to lower his voice and introduce.

The two muttered about something no one knew, but from Vice President Wang's always furrowed brows, it wasn't hard to see that he was in a dilemma.

Li Xuewu came out from the inner exhibition area; Sha Qizhi had finished his work and smiled secretly, gesturing to the jeep exhibition stand.

"Leader, this move of yours is really amazing!"

"Shut up—"

Li Xuewu glared at him and warned with a laugh: "If you dare to leak this secret, I'll shoot you!"

"Understood, how would I dare to say it—"

Sha Qizhi knew that if this secret leaked, Li Xuewu wouldn't necessarily shoot him, but he would be disgusted with him.

This relates to the Red Star Factory's strategic layout for jeeps, the key strategy for competing with the Beijing Auto Factory's main brand 212; how many guts did he have to leak it?

Very few people knew about this layout, very few; if the news leaked, it could definitely be found out.

However, this didn't affect him watching the fun with a secret smile, and his admiration for Li Xuewu was even more overwhelming.

Treating every bush and tree as an enemy, a false move—Li Xuewu had really played it clearly; Beijing Auto Factory's Vice President Wang was almost played to death by him.

Concept car... hehe, it's just a concept! ===== CHAPTER 1170 =====
