The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 259: The Fiery December, the Situation is Very Good

The Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant has become completely famous within the Ministry of First Machine Building this year.

Whether it is the launch of the BMW 70 or the hot sales and exports of the BMW S, many people are very jealous.

Considering that the factory has invited many leaders to participate in several activities this year, Jiang Hui kept the launch of the BMW X relatively low-key this time.

Of course, the offline ceremony was relatively low-key, but he had no intention of keeping the subsequent publicity low-key at all.

After all, the offline ceremony is aimed at leaders and internal employees, and the main purpose is not to sell cars, but publicity work is different.

"Director, our BMW X has excellent performance. As a means of transportation that can replace cars in many situations, it will definitely be loved by many people."

Li Zifu basically lives in the factory during this period, and he completely treats the factory as his home.

As an old employee of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, he has always been valued by Jiang Hui, which obviously shows that he has put in a lot of effort.

Jiang Hui naturally saw all of this.

"As a product used by small businesses, the quality of key parts such as the engine must be good."

"Those companies don't have the ability to repair cars. If they break down after a while, their reputation will be bad and they won't be able to sell them."

The three-wheeled motorcycle is a product that is definitely worth keeping selling well for thirty years.

As long as Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory can develop the BMW X to perfection, it will no longer have to worry about not having a place in the wave of economic development.

"Director, don't worry. Our engine production is increasing and our experience is growing."

"The R&D center has made a lot of targeted improvements to the details, and the quality of the engine is getting better every month."

Li Zifu looked at Jiang Hui confidently.

However, Jiang Hui still gave an instruction and said, "Isn't the Jialing Honda 70 already on the market?"

"The engines for this year's products are said to be imported directly from Japan. You can buy one and disassemble it to see how Honda assembles the engine and designs every detail of each component."

“By comparison, we can also find some of our shortcomings.”

As the world's largest motorcycle company, Honda has been able to maintain a firm foothold in this field and is still the world's number one in later generations. There is definitely a reason for this.

Especially when it comes to motorcycle engines, it feels like they can never break down.

Jiang Hui would definitely not fail to study and learn the ins and outs of this just because the other party is a Japanese company.

Things like engines are actually very particular about details.

For a casting with the same drawing specifications, if you use gravity casting and low-pressure casting, the products may look similar, but after installing them on the engine, there may be obvious differences in the engine performance.

For example, if your workmanship is not up to par for a humble spring like a valve spring, its service life may be greatly reduced.

As for the processing inside the piston and cylinder, that goes without saying.

The importance of any engine part cannot be ignored.

Moreover, the engine is an integrated whole. If one part fails, the overall performance may be greatly affected.

Many technical personnel in China may not fully understand this point.

Especially in many factories, technicians feel that it is fine to do anything that is similar.

For parts that are not so important, "almost" may really be enough.

But when it comes to parts like engines, it's far from being comparable.

"No problem. I will immediately arrange for someone to purchase one and disassemble it for comparison, so as to learn from its strengths and overcome its weaknesses."

Hou Guoming next to him immediately stood up and said that the R&D center would quickly advance this matter.

"We are currently developing several engines of different displacements. In addition to the technical solutions provided by BMW Technology, I will also ask them to help me buy several engines of different displacements from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and other manufacturers so that we can compare and study them carefully."

Engine research is now the most important task of the R&D center.

As long as there is a suitable engine, the difficulty of producing other models of motorcycles will be greatly reduced.

Even with just a slight modification, it can become a brand new product.

"Thank you, Director. If we had more products to compare, our development time would definitely be greatly reduced."

Hou Guoming knew that behind Jiang Hui's light words, there was actually a very high level of difficulty.

Nowadays, apart from the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant, it is estimated that no other factory can easily have engines of different international brands and displacements for you to compare and disassemble.

Purchasing these things requires foreign exchange.

And you need someone abroad to help you do this.

If there is a clear imitation target, some factories can apply to purchase related products.

If it is purely for research, it will be difficult.

This is very different from later generations.

"Director, our expanded production line will be officially ready for mass production next week. Would you like to invite the leaders in the ministry to come for a visit?" Li Zifu knew that the First Ministry of Machine Building was very concerned about the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant. If they didn't invite them at such an important time, the leaders would probably be unhappy.

"No need for now. We are rushing to produce all the models, and we can't waste a day."

"The leaders can come to visit at any time."

The Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant, which has already laid a solid foundation, no longer needs to rely on attracting a bunch of leaders to participate in activities to enhance its influence.

Especially now that production is very tight and we are rushing to meet deadlines every day, there is no need to bother with this.

"Our BMW X officially rolled off the production line today and can now be sold at various dealerships."

"But I think we should also find a way to promote it appropriately so that more people know about the existence of BMW X?"

Chen Chenxing is now the person in charge of the sales area, so he naturally hopes that the BMW X will be in short supply.

Although he is optimistic about the prospects of BMW X, he feels that it will be difficult for the product to become in short supply as soon as it is launched without any publicity.

"This is definitely necessary, but the method can be made special."

Jiang Hui would definitely not object to Chen Chenxing's proposal.

He has never neglected the importance of publicity work.

Especially at this time when many factories do not pay attention to publicity or do not know how to carry out publicity, the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory can emerge as a dark horse, which brings a greater impact to everyone.

"If we want to make it more special, why not just organize a hundred BMW Xs to go on the road, load them with various goods and models, so that everyone can experience its practical use?"

"For example, it transports honeycomb coal stoves, honeycomb coal, furniture and home appliances, brick and tile building materials, vegetables and fruits and other things."

"With these real-life cases in front of us, small businesses and even many factories will be interested."

The price of BMW X is 2888 yuan, which is 70 yuan cheaper than BMW 100.

The purpose is to make it affordable for more small vendors.

It can be said that from the beginning of the design of BMW X, small vendors have been the main target.

The spending power of these people has not yet been taken seriously, but Jiang Hui knows that there is great potential.

Especially in some southern cities, the future of BMW X is even more worth looking forward to.

"Okay, let's follow your plan, but it's not easy to find 100 people who can ride a BMW X in the next two days."

"Old Hou, you can ask the technical staff of the R&D center to provide support. Many people there have test-driven the BMW X, and most of them know how to drive it."

Although driving a motorcycle is much easier than driving a car, Jiang Hui doesn't want any accidents to happen while patrolling the streets, which would be embarrassing.

"No problem. If 100 people come together, we should be able to get it together."

As a research and development center for motorcycles, Hou Guoming requires that everyone must be able to ride a motorcycle.

Otherwise, if you can’t even drive your own product, how can you become a qualified designer?

Only by considering how to design products from the customer's perspective can we design the most competitive products.

Jiang Hui has told Hou Guoming this many times.

"Our motorcycle production could exceed 6000 this month, and even 10000 next month."

"Now that the situation is looking good, can we consider setting up our own logistics fleet so that we don't have to ask Tie Lao for help every day?"

During this period, Chen Chenxing has also been considering how to sell as many of the factory's products as possible to other places.

Although the Capital Market is large, it certainly cannot accommodate the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory.

Only by selling their products all over the country can they become the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the country.

But these days long-distance transportation still mainly relies on railways.

However, railway capacity is limited, and Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant often cannot easily obtain relevant transportation resources.

This made Chen Chenxing quite dissatisfied.

"Establishing our own fleet and setting up storage centers at major transportation hubs across the country are all things that can be considered."

"Next year we will set up outlets in several major cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingcheng, and Spring City, so that our products can quickly cover the markets in East China, South China, Central China, and Northeast China through these outlets."

Jiang Hui was naturally aware of the problem that Chen Chenxing was talking about.

Transportation is a big problem.

Until 2000, this problem had not been properly resolved.

Therefore, forming your own team is something that really needs to be taken into consideration.

Of course, taking this opportunity to build a piece of land in a major urban area into a warehousing center would also be a very valuable investment.

In time, relying on these lands, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant will be able to live a comfortable life.
