Chapter 235 National Machinery Industry Exhibition, a blockbuster

The annual National Machinery Industry Exhibition is an important platform for domestic factories to showcase their products and strengths.

Not only the main factories under the First Ministry of Machine Building will participate in the exhibition, but factories under other ministries such as the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building will also bring their products to the exhibition.

Of course, some factories produce large equipment, so there is no way to move the products over for direct exhibition, so they can only use models.

Even so, the entire exhibition hall was crowded with people and very lively.

"Xiao Jiang, your BMW 70 motorcycle today is the product that our First Machine Department is focusing on promoting and displaying to you. You can't let it down."

Qin Hao arrived at the exhibition site quite early.

Although there are many manufacturers from the First Ministry of Machine Building participating in the exhibition today, the one he is most concerned about is the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant.

This is also one of the few new and heavyweight products that the Ministry of First Machine Industry has put on display.

Most factories display their current mass-produced products to see if they can find some opportunities for cooperation.

After all, even if the State Planning Commission allocates resources uniformly, if everyone is unable to fully match the resources, there will be information mismatches.

After all, the State Planning Commission is not omnipotent. It certainly does not know as well as the manufacturers themselves about the raw materials and components needed for each equipment and product.

For example, even though they are both glass, the requirements for automotive glass and architectural glass are completely different.

"Don't worry, Director Qin. This time we have readjusted the production of dozens of parts based on the results of the last test. The overall performance and quality are closer to the design value."

“After completing the testing of these prototypes this month and slightly adjusting some minor issues, we will begin preparations for large-scale mass production next month.”

Jiang Hui is still very confident in the BMW 70.

Of course, the employees of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant are also very powerful, and their slogan of “work hard for 200 days” is not shouted in vain.

Jiang Hui originally thought that large-scale mass production would not be possible until June this year, but now it seems that there is no problem in bringing it forward to May, and it is even possible to start mass production in late April.

This will definitely be beneficial for successfully completing the factory contracting targets issued by the Ministry of First Machine Building.

"It's good to have confidence. Today, some other factories that produce motorcycles or are preparing to produce motorcycles will definitely arrange people to come and visit."

"When the time comes, you should take it easy and be careful about what you should and shouldn't say."

Although they are all factories in China, there are still differences between factories.

Qin Hao must be on the side of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.

He didn't want the Jialing Factory and other factories under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to suppress the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant.

……

"Director, the BMW 70 from Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory has been displayed."

"I just inquired and found out that I can buy one for only 2998 yuan. If I place an order now, it can be delivered as early as the end of next month."

As a large local factory, Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant must have also participated in the National Machinery Industry Exhibition today.

It’s just that the products they bring out are nothing new, so naturally there aren’t many visitors.

Chief Engineer Tan Xueqiang immediately focused his energy on investigating and understanding other colleagues.

However, after walking around the exhibition hall for a long time, he did gain something.

Whether it was the Jialing Factory or the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, he had almost figured out the situation.

"Can't they buy it today and have it delivered today? Don't they have a sample car?"

Xu Dachang couldn't wait to buy a BMW 70 to disassemble and study it, so that he could follow the production carefully and make it a hit.

For him, the leaders in the department attached great importance to the BMW 70 and were very optimistic about this motorcycle, so it was worth learning from it for their factory.

Otherwise, considering that he is about to retire, he probably doesn't want to bother with anything.

"Today they brought prototypes, but they said there is still some testing to be done on them. Today they just rode them here temporarily to show you, and they will have to take them back to the factory for further testing later."

Tan Xueqiang naturally thought about buying it directly, but was rejected.

As a technical person, he naturally knew the importance of the sample car and knew that the other party was unlikely to sell it.

So he didn't bother about it anymore.

"Haven't they already produced a batch of prototypes? Those prototypes that have completed the test are of no special value, right?"

"We just buy those sample cars, and they won't sell them either?"

After Xu Dachang said this, Tan Xueqiang felt speechless.

These are all prototypes that have been tested, and normally they would not be put on the market for sale.

Ordinary factories would not be willing to buy such a car.

But the Capital Motorcycle Factory wants to buy it. They are not stupid and they definitely know that you are not going to do anything good if you buy it.

In this case, people will be even less willing to sell to you.

Of course, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death.

Tan Xueqiang would definitely not confront Xu Dachang in this way.

He also hoped that he would be able to take over after Xu Dachang retired in the future.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Then I'll talk to them again and tell them that we're also thinking about developing new products in the future, so we'll buy it back and learn from it."

Tan Xueqiang felt that this was not the time to hide anything, and it would be better to tell the other party directly that he wanted to buy it back and disassemble it for comparison.

Otherwise it would be very embarrassing.

……

"Minister Zheng, you have quietly developed a new civilian motorcycle, and the speed is quite good." Sun Xiangfeng, deputy minister of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, came to the platform of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant accompanied by a group of people.

Zheng Haiming was also visiting the First Ministry of Machine Building.

The two of them had to attend meetings of higher-level departments together from time to time, and they had known each other for some time.

Now that he sees the other person, Sun Xiangfeng will definitely have a good chat with him.

"I have personally tried this motorcycle and it performs very well."

"We are counting on it to shine this year in the reform of factories under the First Ministry of Machine Building."

Zheng Haiming would definitely not be humble at this time.

When he was at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, he experienced the benefits of disruptive products such as the new BJ212.

It can be said that if the new BJ212 had not performed so well, he might not have had the opportunity to be promoted.

Zheng Haiming is also very clear about who is responsible for the design of the new BJ212.

Now, he is naturally very confident about the BMW 70 project hosted by Jiang Hui.

He planned to make the BMW 70 a business card for the reform of factories under the First Ministry of Machine Building.

So now that he has the chance, he naturally wants to blow it well.

Moreover, with the acceleration of the speed of military-to-civilian conversion, the product overlap between the factories under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the First Ministry of Machine Building has continued to increase.

Cars and motorcycles are the focus.

The Jialing factory also brought its own motorcycle products for display today, and last week it officially cooperated with Honda R&D in Japan to introduce their technology to produce new motorcycle products.

This will naturally bring certain pressure to the Ministry of First Machine Industry.

Whether the Jialing Factory performed better or the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory was more competitive, to a certain extent, represents the achievements of the Fifth and First Ministry of Machine Building in factory reform.

"The prospects for motorcycles are indeed very promising. Last year, only 5 motorcycles were produced nationwide, most of which were for military use. The number of civilian motorcycles is almost negligible."

"Our Jialing factory successfully produced China's first civilian motorcycle last year. This year, we are also preparing to increase the production of motorcycles. We will learn from you in the future."

Sun Xiangfeng walked around the BMW 70, and his attention to this product increased several levels.

Judging from the appearance alone, this motorcycle is not much worse than the imported motorcycles on the market.

The sales price of 2998 yuan is still quite competitive.

If the performance indicators of the BMW 70 are really as marked, there will definitely be a lot of people interested in it.

As a result, the Jialing Factory will definitely be under pressure, and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building will also be under pressure.

"We have arranged a BMW 70 outside the venue for everyone to test drive. Would you like to go and experience it?"

Zheng Haiming naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to show off in front of other departments.

For Sun Xiangfeng, it is also necessary to understand the other party's situation clearly before the BMW 70 is launched on the market.

So naturally I won’t refuse.

When other people around heard that they could take a test drive, they were also very excited.

Even if you don't know how to ride, you can still give it a try.

Soon, a large group of people marched toward the outside of the venue. Some people thought something had happened and followed them out, almost causing a stampede.

Outside the venue, Jiang Hui personally rode a BMW 70, while Sun Xiangfeng and Zheng Haiming took a walk outside.

"My dear leaders, although our BMW 70 has an engine displacement of only 70cc, its output power is not weak at all. It can carry two adults and travel at a normal speed. The maximum speed can reach to kilometers per hour, and it can even go faster when riding alone."

"The most important thing is that its fuel consumption is very low. Under ideal test conditions, the fuel consumption per 0.7 kilometers can be as low as L, or even lower."

"Under normal driving conditions, it can generally achieve 1L of fuel per kilometers, which can significantly reduce the cost of use and make it meaningful for large-scale promotion."

Jiang Hui would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to sell the BMW 70 to his leaders.

To some extent, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the First Ministry of Machine Building were also potential users of the BMW 70.

Each unit cannot afford too many cars, but it can still have a few more motorcycles.

"Xiao Jiang, tell me how to ride this motorcycle so I can feel it."

After experiencing the test ride, Zheng Haiming became excited without waiting for Sun Xiangfeng to say anything.

Of course, he also did this to further stimulate Sun Xiangfeng.

Learning to drive a motorcycle is actually not difficult if the purpose is simply to ride on a flat road.

Especially for people with an engineering background, it is easy to get started after the principles are explained.

The difficulty lies in how to drive skillfully.

For Zheng Haiming, what he needs now is obviously not to become skilled in driving, but to satisfy his desire first.

So Jiang Hui briefly explained the key steps of the operation, and Zheng Haiming started riding in first gear.

As a result, Sun Xiangfeng naturally did not want to fall behind.

The leaders of both departments were so enthusiastic about the test rides, which naturally attracted many reporters from newspapers.

Everyone took photos to record the event, preparing to use the BMW 70 as the focus of publicity for this exhibition.

To a certain extent, Jiang Hui achieved his goal in this unexpected way.
