Chapter 198: Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant's Great Reform, FAW's Requirements
Not long after Zheng Haiming finished chatting with Jiang Hui, Qin Hao called Jiang Hui's office.

Jiang Hui, who had already received the news in advance, naturally knew very well how to answer various questions.

In the end, Qin Hao had completed all the necessary procedures, leaving Zhao Guangming unable to raise any objections.

As for whether the matter was accomplished or not, that was not something Qin Hao wanted to care about.

Over at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, Zheng Haiming convened the factory committee and quickly announced a series of institutional reform plans.

Each department has made some adjustments to a greater or lesser extent, and overall the organization has been streamlined.

At the same time, in order to strengthen its R&D capabilities, the factory merged the Design Department and the Technology Department to form a R&D center.

The chief engineer Chen Qi personally served as the director of the R&D center, while the two directors Liang Yi and Lu Jianqiang became deputy directors of the R&D center.

In terms of level, Liang Yi and Lu Jianqiang have been promoted half a level.

The R&D center consists of chassis department, powertrain department, body department, interior and exterior decoration department, laboratory, comprehensive management department and styling room.

Jiang Hui was appointed as the deputy director of the styling room. The position of director was vacant and he, the only deputy director, was in charge of the work.

At the same time, he also served as deputy director of the chassis department, and Liang Yi was the director concurrently.

It can be said that Jiang Hui holds great power in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

The most important thing is that he was already in charge of the work of two departments before he even turned 25.

Judging from the current situation, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant obviously needs to develop its own R&D capabilities.

This is considered to be ahead of the curve among domestic automobile manufacturers.

The ministries and commissions, which have realized the huge gap between the domestic automobile industry and that of foreign countries, obviously support the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant in trying to improve its own R&D capabilities.

If some things can be done domestically, there is no need to import them from abroad.

Especially when foreign exchange is so tight, save as much as you can.

"Master, congratulations. From now on, no one will dare to ignore your opinions on matters related to the R&D center."

Chen Chenxing was most happy about the fact that Jiang Hui became the deputy director of the chassis department and deputy director of the styling studio.

Although he is still a team leader, he is already very satisfied.

In the past year, he has won a lot of honors and his position has been promoted.

The key is that his master's career is flourishing, and his future prospects at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant are naturally worth looking forward to.

"During this time, you should learn more about the situation in the laboratory. You can consider working there in the future. This is the department that is closest to car maintenance."

Jiang Hui knew that Chen Chenxing was completely focused on repairing the car.

If he were to do design work, I guess he wouldn't be able to achieve anything.

But it’s different if you do work related to car maintenance.

The laboratory often has to perform various tests, which is considered to be the work of finding problems with cars and parts.

To a certain extent, it is indeed the closest to car maintenance.

If you do this job well, you will be able to apply many things to repair cars in the future.

Even if it is a car produced by the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, Chen Chenxing only needs to simply confirm the fault situation to know where the specific problem lies.

This is the inevitable result of becoming extremely familiar with the entire vehicle.

"No problem. I've done a lot of homework during this period, and my understanding of cars is much deeper than before."

The opportunity was right in front of him, and Chen Chenxing naturally didn't want to miss it.

At the same time, Jiang Hui called Hou Guoming to his side and said, "Old Hou, your technical level is the highest in the chassis department."

"Please take care of it in the future. The specific work of the chassis department will still depend on you to preside over it."

Regardless of whether he was just making empty promises or really trusted Hou Guoming, Jiang Hui would definitely have a good talk with Hou Guoming after the organizational structure was changed.

From now on, Jiang Hui will not be able to focus 100% of his energy on the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

"Chief Jiang, don't worry, I won't hold you back."

"The factory has the foundation you laid for everyone. As long as we develop step by step for a period of time and let the technicians and engineers have a solid foundation of knowledge, it will definitely be much smoother when we start new projects in the future."

Hou Guoming is in a very good mood now.

After the Spring Festival, many trends began to change completely.

Having overseas connections is no longer a constraint, but is beginning to be taken seriously.

Relevant departments are now beginning to consider overseas compatriots returning to the country to invest, and even stores specifically open to them are about to be launched.

The legendary foreign exchange certificates are already in the works.

People at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant had heard about this information to some extent. No one in the plant looked down on Hou Guoming because of his overseas connections.

Even some more intelligent people began to take the initiative to make friends with Hou Guoming.

People who worked with Hou Guoming in the early years know several of his brothers, some in Hong Kong and some in the United States.

In the future, if a little bit of stuff leaks out from between someone's fingers, it can bring about earth-shaking changes in Hou Guoming's life in China.

Not to mention that after his relatives became rich overseas, they returned to China to invest.

"The main task of the factory in the near future is to expand the new production line and increase the production capacity of BJ212."

"Let's first get everyone more familiar with the production line process."

“Only when you have a thorough understanding of various processes can you design parts without any flaws.”

Basically, there is no car model whose parts will not be criticized by parts manufacturers as the designers having water in their brains.

When it comes to some details, the designers of the OEMs are really not as clear as the workers of the parts manufacturers.

For example, the designer may just mark the tolerance of a certain place casually, which may cause great trouble or additional costs in the production process.

Or a slight change in shape somewhere can significantly improve the installation performance of a part, but designers may not necessarily be aware of this.

Therefore, before the factory launches any new car models, Jiang Hui plans to let his subordinates familiarize themselves with the production line first.

Otherwise, all the design discussions are just empty talk.

"That's true. In the past few years, the technicians were quite out of touch with the production site. When there were no new products launched, there were no major problems. But once we had to design a new model, there were many problems."

"If you hadn't been involved in reviewing every drawing of the new BJ212, it would have been impossible for it to be mass-produced so quickly."

Hou Guoming is a person who understands technology, so he can naturally understand more deeply what Jiang Hui said.

……

Naturally, FAW was the first to receive news of the Capital Automobile Works' movement.

When Zhao Guangming heard that Jiang Hui was now actually in charge of the chassis department and styling studio of the R&D center, his face turned dark.

FAW would absolutely not let Jiang Hui be in charge of two such important departments at the same time, as the old employees would rebel.

However, if FAW cannot offer good conditions, it will naturally have no confidence to poach people.

However, Zhao Guangming still did not give up. Before returning to Chuncheng, he personally made an appointment to meet Jiang Hui again.

"Director Jiang, I now understand why the Automobile Bureau of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry is unwilling to issue a transfer order bluntly, and Old Zheng is also refusing to let him go."

"As an automotive professional who is proficient in three foreign languages, you are of extraordinary significance to the Automobile Bureau of the First Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant."

Since he couldn't poach anyone, Zhao Guangming would definitely try to find a way to use Jiang Hui's technical level to make some contribution to FAW.

This way he can report to Geng Weidong when he returns.

"Director Zhao, thank you for your praise. I have only achieved some results by chance. Compared with some old experts, there are still many areas that need further improvement."

Although Jiang Hui had no interest in joining FAW, as the industry's big brother, there was naturally no need for him to offend FAW.

Otherwise, when you start your own business in the future, you don’t know who will give you a hard time.

Although FAW is just a company, they are capable of intervening in some administrative functions of China's automobile industry.

In particular, in the future, most of the people in charge of various automobile inspection and certification-related matters will come from FAW and Second FAW, and even the relevant institutions will overlap with some departments of FAW and Second FAW.

It can be said that, to a certain extent, they are both referees and athletes.

This advantage is unmatched by many companies.

Unfortunately, even with so many advantages, the development of FAW and Second FAW was ultimately not satisfactory.

Apart from making money for many years by relying on joint venture car companies, they rarely have any products of their own to show off.

On the contrary, some new private enterprises that were gradually established later grew and developed rapidly, and made some indelible contributions to China's automobile power.

As for the joint venture's exchange of market for technology, it has become a complete joke.

"The ministry now supports the development of the car industry, and we at FAW are preparing to vigorously develop Hongqi cars."

"Your level of design is considered very advanced in the whole of China. I wonder if you can help us design the exterior of the new generation of Hongqi sedans?"

Zhao Guangming didn't want to beg too much in front of a junior, so after a few pleasantries, he directly stated his purpose.

In his opinion, designing the exterior styling of a car model is a piece of cake for Jiang Hui.

He found out that Jiang Hui was responsible for designing the exterior styling of the new BJ212 and Hummer.

Jiang Hui even has a cooperative project with General Motors, whose task is to design the appearance of a car.

It shouldn't be too much to ask for the same thing now, right?
After all, Jiang Hui can design cars for General Motors, a capitalist country, so it is only natural for him to design a shape for the authentic Hongqi car, right?
