The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 252: A purely manual prototype car as a gift for National Day

Jiang Hui didn't care at all about what the Capital Motorcycle Factory's reaction would be.

What he wants now is for Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to produce two new products as soon as possible.

Since last month's production task was exceeded and the factory had good profits, Jiang Hui directly paid double salary to all employees.

Under such circumstances, the subjective initiative of all employees in the factory reached an unprecedented high.

In addition, the factory provides overtime subsidies for overtime work, which makes everyone more motivated to work overtime.

Previously, in order to produce the BMW 70, a "200-day hard work" campaign was launched. This time, there was no need for the factory to initiate it. Everyone automatically held themselves to the original standards.

Many people began to live directly in factories again.

Especially for those who live in the factory, not only are they provided with meals at night, but they also receive midnight snacks.

The key is the food and meat.

Many people are willing to work overtime just for free braised pork for dinner.

This has resulted in many people not only not losing weight, but actually gaining weight after working overtime for a month.

For people in the 1980s, being fat often meant having a well-off family.

Gaining weight is definitely not something to worry about, but something to be envied by others.

"Xiao Jiang, are you sure your scooters can catch up with the National Day event?"

"There's less than a week left."

Qin Hao finally couldn't help but come to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory to confirm the progress of the two new projects.

Jiang Hui did not disappoint him and everything progressed very quickly.

The key engine and gearbox do not need to be redeveloped, which can greatly save time.

Some other parts on the car body can be directly made manually by level 8 workers. There is no need to wait for the mold to be completed before stamping, casting or injection molding, which makes the process much faster.

Anyway, as long as the sample car used as a National Day gift can run normally and doesn't break down halfway, that's enough.

As for production efficiency, production costs and the like, there is no need to worry too much about them.

"Director Qin, don't worry. Before the National Day, our BMW S will be able to successfully produce the first prototype, so that everyone can experience what a world-leading scooter produced by China's own factory looks like."

"It also allows everyone to see what industrial design and fashion trends are."

Originally, Jiang Hui was a little worried about the progress and thought that the scooter might not be produced until December.

However, we have recently recruited several level 8 workers, as well as more than a dozen level 7 and level 6 workers. The R&D center's ability to produce samples has increased rapidly, and the efficiency of preparing prototypes has naturally also been greatly improved.

"BMW S? Is that the name of your new scooter?"

In the past, using English letters as car names would definitely have no market in China.

But the situation is different now. The relationship between China and the United States is just at its hottest, and China Channel has a special English learning program every night.

So speaking English and using English is also a very fashionable thing.

Scooters are not meant for ordinary people, but for the high-end female market.

Choosing a more fashionable name is completely in line with the trend of this era.

“Yes, our scooter is called BMW S and the three-wheeler is called BMW X.”

“Scooters and tricycles will be important categories for us in the future.”

Jiang Hui directly told Qin Hao the name of the tricycle. There was nothing to keep secret from him anyway.

"Since you are confident that your scooter can catch up with the National Day celebration, then I am relieved. I will ask someone to coordinate and ensure that your BMW S can appear in everyone's sight."

Last year, the Jialing Factory under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building produced China's first civilian motorcycle, which attracted great attention as a tribute to the National Day.

This incident brought shame to the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

After all, civilian motorcycles should normally be produced by factories under the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Now, the breakthrough has been made first by the military-to-civilian factory of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building.

Even the motorcycle model from the Jialing factory has not caused much of a stir due to various problems later on.

But when talking about the development of China's motorcycle industry in the future, there is no way to avoid it.

This made the Ministry of First Machine Industry very unhappy.

Now the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory is striving hard to produce China's first scooter with a very fashionable design, which will attract many people's attention and win reputation for the Ministry of First Machine Industry. Qin Hao naturally attaches great importance to it.

……

While Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant was busy preparing for the BMW S and BMW X projects, some supporting plants began to feel the changes.

The Capital's First Spring Factory previously supplied shock-absorbing springs to the BMW 70, and its performance was booming.

When the Capital Motorcycle Factory found them, the other party readily agreed to sell the springs sold to BMW 70 to Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing.

This news was naturally known to Li Zifu. According to Jiang Hui's previous instructions, Li Zifu immediately arranged for personnel to import new spring factories to provide supporting equipment for BMW 70 and BMW X projects.

The Capital First Spring Factory has not even received an inquiry for a new project.

"Director, I've inquired and found that many factories, including Capital Automobile Accessories Factory, Chaoyang Automobile Parts Factory, and Capital Gear Factory, have received orders for the new project from Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant and have begun making molds, fixtures, and other tooling in preparation for large-scale mass production."

"But we haven't received any contact. This is not right."

As the deputy director of the Capital No. 1 Spring Factory, Wu Lin is responsible for the work of procurement, sales and other departments.

Seeing that the thriving factory seemed to be facing difficulties, he immediately became nervous.

"Could it be that the new project at Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory does not require the use of springs?"

Huang Zhongxi asked a question that even he himself thought was impossible.

So Wu Lin did not answer, but continued: "I heard a rumor from the Capital Automobile Accessories Factory, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

"It is said that Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is going to ban the direct sale of BMW 70 parts to third-party supporting manufacturers such as Capital Motorcycle Factory, and will not cooperate with these factories in the future."

"If that's the case, we're in trouble."

After Wu Lin said this, Huang Zhongxi's expression changed.

"How can they be so overbearing? The parts are produced by our factory. We can sell them to whoever we want. It won't delay their supply."

In Huang Zhongxi's opinion, although the spring drawings of the BMW 70 were provided by the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant, they were produced by their Capital No. Spring Factory, so they should have the right to decide who would sell the products.

The other party is totally bullying.

"He is now a major exporter and foreign exchange earner. He is very supported and welcomed by the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building. Even some leaders of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building have a high opinion of him."

“This situation is very unfavorable to us.”

Wu Lin said anxiously.

Although the news has not been finally confirmed, he feels that it should be true.

He even felt that Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory would not officially admit that it had taken such measures to sanction some factories in the future, but would find other excuses to respond to everyone's questions.

"Director, the Capital Motorcycle Factory has been working on a project to copy the BMW 70 for several months, but they haven't even produced a single prototype."

"I feel like it's not that reliable to cooperate with them. How about we tell Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory that we will never cooperate with Capital Motorcycle Factory again?"

Wu Lin is now more optimistic about the prospects of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant.

It is totally not worth it to offend a big customer just for a small order from the Capital Motorcycle Factory.

"If things are really as you said, it would be useless for us to regret it now."

"The Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is just killing the chicken to scare the monkey."

Huang Zhongxi felt a little regretful that he had agreed to the request of the Capital Motorcycle Factory just for the sake of a little benefit.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so passive now.

"Or maybe we can try to find some connections and see if we can make peace?"

If this problem is not resolved, Wu Lin feels that he will not be able to sleep.

This is a big thing that will affect the development of the factory.

Jiang Hui even has a special influence on the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant. If someone asks the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant to do something, Wu Lin and the others will be depressed to death.

"It's probably too late, but it's okay to give it a try."

"As for the Capital Motorcycle Factory, if there is no tension at all, then we should not cooperate with them."

"They want to copy the BMW 70. Even if they succeed, their relationship with Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory will definitely become strained."

"With the attention and concern that the ministry is paying to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, the other party will definitely be in trouble."

Although Huang Zhongxi was a bit short-sighted before and only saw the immediate benefits.

But sometimes their brains are still relatively normal and they can make some normal decisions.

But their move made the Capital Motorcycle Factory depressed.

It seems very difficult to produce a motorcycle imitating the BMW 70, let alone during the National Day, even within this year.

"Director, how about we go to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory and have a frank discussion with them, and ask them to give us a copy of the BMW 70's blueprints?"

"Otherwise, the current progress is not going smoothly, and I am worried that there will be problems with the operation of the factory by then."

Tan Xueqiang immediately received a call from the Capital No. 1 Spring Factory.

The other party no longer intends to supply springs for the BMW 70 to their company.

This casts a dark cloud over the new project of the Capital Motorcycle Factory.
