The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 146: Breaking records, bright prospects

The cold wind is biting.

Jiang Hui wrapped himself tightly and went out more than 20 minutes early, and finally arrived at the factory on time.

It snowed a few days ago, and there was still a lot of unmelted snow on both sides of the factory road.

In order to welcome today's important event, the factory has already organized each workshop to clean up and clear the snow.

The whole factory looks clean.

At the factory gate and above the streets inside the factory, there was a large banner with white letters on a red background that read "Warmly welcome leaders at all levels to participate in the new generation BJ212 test ride and test drive event."

Starting at 8:30 in the morning, Zheng Haiming, Chen Qi and other factory leaders began waiting for the arrival of the leaders at the factory gate.

The main leaders from the First Ministry of Machine Building will attend, and some leaders from other ministries will also participate.

The capital is also very supportive, with people participating from the city, district and street levels.

This made Zheng Haiming and others start to get a little nervous.

Because there were quite a few people of higher rank than them, how to receive them became a problem.

Fortunately, the First Ministry of Machine Building was half at home, so they arrived early, before nine o'clock.

"Leader Wang, Leader Zhou, Director Qin, we have prepared a rest room next to the trial site. I will take you there to rest first."

Zheng Haiming personally went forward to entertain the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

These people can influence his future promotion. To a certain extent, his KPI is determined by them.

"Didn't you invite people from many other departments to participate today?"

"We in the First Machinery Department are also half the owner, so we definitely can't wait in the conference room."

"With so many people coming, your reception task is quite heavy. I will help to welcome them here."

Leader Wang was in a very good mood today and his tone was very kind.

This time, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant brought honor to the First Ministry of Machine Building.

It was perfectly reasonable for him to greet him at the door.

After all, some of the people from other departments who came today have the same level as him.

As for those who are lower in rank than him, he would personally greet them as a way of giving them face. When they take a test drive, they will definitely not do anything weird.

"Then it's a problem for the leader."

"It's quite windy outside. You can wait in the gate lounge for a while. When other convoys come, someone will come in to greet you."

Zheng Haiming certainly had no way to object to Leader Wang's arrangement.

Moreover, this arrangement was a good thing for the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, so he had even less reason to object.

However, it is obviously not appropriate to let the elderly leader Wang follow him out of the door and starve.

"Okay, I'll wait inside for a while."

This time, Leader Wang did not refuse.

Fortunately, some preparations had been made in the gate lounge, and tea and other things were ready, so there was no need to be in a rush.

Gradually, by around 9:30, participants from various departments arrived.

The group officially started today's test ride and test drive activities.

As the factory director, Zheng Haiming personally served as the host to explain today's arrangements to everyone.

Leader Wang also went on stage and made a brief speech on behalf of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Next, under the guidance of a dedicated person, personnel from various departments first visited the static display of the new BJ212, and then got in the car to experience it.

Those who are eligible to participate in today's test ride and test drive activities basically have their own cars or have the opportunity to ride in various official vehicles frequently.

The current BJ212 is the vehicle that everyone used to ride frequently.

The quality of a new product can only be highlighted through comparison.

The current BJ212 that everyone has experienced in the past is undoubtedly the best foil.

Appearance, power, driving performance, comfort...

There is no need for people from each department to say anything against their will. Everyone can feel the huge impact by speaking out their true feelings.

The new BJ212 has not yet been officially put into mass production, but its reputation has already improved.

People from all departments began to think about quickly replacing the current BJ212 in their department, and would need the new BJ212 when applying for new cars in the future.

Isn't this more comfortable than the cars produced by manufacturers such as FAW and SAIC?

"Xiao Zheng, your new BJ212 is very good. It has lived up to the expectations of the department."

After Leader Wang finished the test drive, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The First Ministry of Machine Building has definitely made a name for itself this time.

In the past few months, the First Ministry of Machine Building has been in contact with many international automobile giants for the "Third Automobile" issue, and everyone has gained a more intuitive understanding of the development of the international automobile industry.

But the more information we know, the more desperate we become.

Because the gap is really too big.

Whether it is the car's exterior design, interior design, power system or chassis comfort, the gap is insurmountable.

Now that the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has developed the new BJ212 in less than a year, the Ministry of First Machine Industry has gained more confidence in the domestic automobile industry.

Previously, many departments had complained to the Ministry of First Machine Building, saying that the current BJ212 had various problems, and hoped that the Ministry of First Machine Building would ask the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant to improve them as soon as possible, or import a batch of cars for everyone to use.

Originally, everyone in the Ministry of First Machine Industry felt that this improvement would take a long time to produce results, and that importing cars would not be a reliable option due to foreign exchange restrictions.

Now those anxieties no longer exist.

The new BJ212 produced by Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant can fully meet the domestic vehicle demand in the next few years.

Whether used as a military off-road vehicle or as a vehicle for agencies at all levels, tremendous improvements have been achieved.

Those people can definitely keep their mouths shut for a while.

What the First Ministry of Machine Building needs to worry about now is that the demand for the new BJ212 is too strong and it will not be able to meet it in time.

"This is the result of the joint efforts of the entire automotive industry in the capital region, and also the result of the overall coordination of the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building."

"After our prototypes have gone through various tests, we will start production of the second batch of prototypes in one or two months."

"Once we confirm that there are no problems, we will start small-scale trial production as soon as possible and strive to make it available for everyone's travel as soon as possible."

After hearing what Leader Wang said, Zheng Haiming felt relieved.

Putting aside other people’s opinions, the affirmation of the head of the First Ministry of Machine Building was the most important to him.

In the future, the status of Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant within the Ministry of First Machine Building will definitely continue to rise.

"With the introduction of various reform and opening-up policies, the trend of economic development being the core of all industries will become increasingly clear in the future."

"As the first factory to propose factory management reform, our Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant can be bolder in its actions."

"As long as there are no major problems with the test of this batch of prototypes, we can consider mass production as soon as possible."

“Some improvements can be made while production is still ongoing.”

Leader Wang can't wait to see the new BJ212 being launched on the market.

This has potential benefits for the communication between the Ministry of First Machine Industry and some foreign-funded enterprises.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as an achievement of the First Machine Industry Ministry. "No problem, we will carry out various confirmations as soon as possible during this period and strive to achieve mass production of the new BJ212 in advance."

Zheng Haiming naturally hopes that the new product can be mass-produced as soon as possible. On this point, he and Leader Wang have the same idea.

As for whether early mass production will cause other problems, we can find ways to solve them.

It doesn’t matter if the output is low at the beginning, you can just increase it slowly.

The key is to start mass production and let some departments start using the new BJ212.

The meaning is very different.

……

As the test ride and test drive activities of the new BJ212 of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant were launched, many units in the capital area heard some related information.

Reporters from various newspapers and China TV, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately contacted the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and wanted to come for a visit and interview.

In this regard, the factory naturally actively arranged personnel to receive them.

Zheng Haiming, Chen Qi, Lu Jianqiang, Liang Yi and others all participated in receiving some media personnel, and Jiang Hui naturally often accompanied them to participate in activities.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, we meet again."

This is Xie Min's second interview with Jiang Hui today.

The last time was also because of the clay model of the new BJ212, and this time it was because of the prototype of the new BJ212, so it can be considered an acquaintance.

As a reporter for one of the country's leading newspapers, Xie Min has interviewed countless people from all walks of life over the years.

However, talents as special as Jiang Hui are still relatively rare.

Jiang Hui left a deep impression on her.

The last time she saw the clay model, she thought this car was very special.

Now that the prototype has been produced, the impact is even greater.

Although she doesn't know how to drive and has no way to intuitively feel the changes in driving performance, by looking at the interior and exterior of the car and then getting on to feel it, she can also appreciate the huge difference between the front and the back.

As a reporter, she has basically ridden in all kinds of cars used by various domestic departments.

She even had the opportunity to ride in a sedan like the imported Crown.

Therefore, she has more say in the riding comfort of a car.

The performance of the new BJ212 in this regard is undoubtedly outstanding.

"Thank you, reporter. I didn't thank you properly for your report last time."

"The fact that our new BJ212 has received such favorable support from all parties is inseparable from your report."

Jiang Hui didn't expect that Xie Min would actually ask for a private interview with him.

However, this kind of thing will not do him any harm, so he will definitely support it.

"Look at what you said. I have to thank you for providing such good material for our newspaper."

"I've written some car-related articles before, but they're far less advanced than your car."

"You were able to come up with a new product in such a short time, which is definitely a honor for our Chinese automobile industry."

The two exchanged pleasantries first before getting down to business.

Xie Min systematically asked about the improvements of this car compared to the current BJ212, and quickly took notes on the notebook with the pen in his hand.

"It's almost time to get off work. Reporter Xie, could you please do me a favor and let me treat you to a meal?"

In later generations, reporters would definitely have to pay for travel expenses when conducting interviews.

This thing is even considered something officially recognized in the media industry.

Of course, the factory has not expressed anything in this regard, and it would definitely not be appropriate for Jiang Hui to pay for it himself.

But it is obviously still possible to treat guests to a meal or something.

"I would like to go out for a nice meal, but I can't do that today."

"You guys made such a big news. I must go back to the office to work overtime tonight."

Xie Min spoke with regret as she packed her things.

Their newspaper is the type that is published every day, and the work intensity is much higher than that of many magazines.

Of course, the next twenty years were the golden age for journalists, and the title of uncrowned king was not given for nothing.

Especially for reporters from big newspapers, when they go to local places, local leaders will pay great attention to them, fearing that you will bring them breaking news that will make them lose their positions.

Traditional media did not decline until the advent of the mobile Internet era.

"Then I'll find a chance to date you later."

Jiang Hui just had to be polite and express his gratitude.

This can also be considered a kind of business etiquette.

……

So many media interviews and various reports appeared intensively in everyone's field of vision in the next few days.

The Capital Automobile Works is now thoroughly famous.

"Jiang Hui, everyone in our office is discussing your new BJ212 today."

"I also saw its picture in the newspaper. It is indeed very beautiful."

When Jiang Hui came home from get off work, Zhu Lin came over happily.

This car was designed by Jiang Hui, and she is very clear about this.

Zhu Lin was also proud that the product designed by her husband received such high praise and was widely reported by the authorities.

"The results of this test drive were very good. Leaders at all levels gave very good feedback, and the media also reported on it in various ways."

"Our factory has become famous within the system this time."

Jiang Hui predicted that there would be a wave of popularity after the prototype of the new BJ212 came out.

I just didn't expect that the popularity seemed to be much higher than I expected.

Now, not to mention in the national automobile industry, even among the various factories within the Ministry of First Machine Building, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is well-known.

The potential benefits of this are absolutely immeasurable.

"I saw your name and Dad's name appear in some reports. Will you be famous in the Chinese automobile industry in the future?"

The two most important men in her life appeared in the newspaper. No wonder Zhu Lin was so excited today.

In this era, it is much more difficult for ordinary people to report than in later generations.

Not to mention that it was published in a heavyweight newspaper like "XX Daily".

"If you want to talk about being famous, then it is naturally famous."

"But this kind of fame is very empty. If there are no new achievements in the future, it will be gradually forgotten by everyone."

Jiang Hui has a very clear understanding of this kind of fame.

If your position cannot be continuously promoted and no new excellent projects emerge in the future, then there is no point in your short-lived fame.
