Chapter 289: Shouqi BJ310 is launched, opening a wave of development in the sedan industry

"Xiao Jiang, the leaders in the department said that if Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory or BMW needs any assistance in the future, just let us know."

"This time you helped sell the 107 rocket launcher to the United States. If it can really perform well on the battlefield in Afghanistan in the future, the potential orders will be huge."

"At $300 per coin, it's not a particularly lucrative profit, but as long as we open up the market, there will be opportunities to export large quantities to Baghdad and Persia in the future."

Zhu Jiansheng was very satisfied with Jiang Hui's performance this time.

Even if he goes into business in the future, he will definitely have to deal with relevant departments.

There is definitely nothing wrong in building good relationships with everyone in advance.

"The most powerful feature of the 107mm rocket launcher is its fierce firepower. Firing 12 rounds at a time is equivalent to a howitzer battalion, which is beyond the reach of ordinary artillery."

"It can be said that the 107 rocket launcher may be the most suitable heavy weapon in the world for guerrilla warfare and special forces."

Jiang Hui has gotten to know the 107 rocket launcher better in the past few days and has a more intuitive understanding of it.

The more you understand, the more you realize that there is a reason why this seemingly ordinary rocket launcher can stand out.

Its artillery rocket is designed to weigh 18.8 kilograms, which is just enough for one person to carry, and can withstand long-distance marches in complex terrain.

In comparison, Polar Bear's famous 122mm rocket weighs 45.8-66 kg, and it often takes three people to load one.

Although there are several ultra-light rocket launchers in the world, such as Belgium's 70mm rocket launcher and Rome's 51mm rocket launcher, their warheads are too small and difficult to carry by manpower, so their adaptability is far less than that of the 107mm rocket launcher.

"I hope it can play a role in Afghanistan. When we sell more rocket launchers, the Fifth Machine-Building Ministry will have a better life."

One rocket launcher costs $300, and a 107 rocket launcher has 12 rocket launchers, which is $3600.

If 1 of these were sold, that would be $3600 million.

As long as the combat effect is good, America will definitely not be reluctant to spend these tens of millions of dollars.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant will hold a production line rollout ceremony for the new BJ310 sedan. Director Chen invited me to join them."

"Dad, you also received an invitation, right?"

Jiang Hui is relatively familiar with the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant's passenger car project.

Due to the hot sales of BJ212, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is now financially strong and has the confidence to develop a new model.

Of course, although it is called a brand-new model, its powertrain and chassis are actually basically the same as those of BJ212.

Even so, it is a very good achievement for China's current automobile industry.

If joint venture car companies had not introduced mature products from international auto giants later, it is estimated that BJ310 would only be able to flourish for a few more years.

Now, the situation becomes complicated.

"Well, but the intercontinental missile launcher project is at a critical moment right now, so I won't participate in these activities. Please explain this to Director Chen for me."

What Zhu Jiansheng cares most about now is the project at hand.

Not only the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building is paying close attention to this project, but the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building has also specially arranged a team of technical personnel to cooperate with Zhu Jiansheng's development work.

At the same time, the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles launched from land-based mobile platforms has officially begun within the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Although it was initially developed based on old products and there were some limitations in terms of fuel addition, it is already a huge improvement compared to fixed launch silos.

But this put Zhu Jiansheng under a lot of pressure.

He was afraid that by that time the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building would have developed a new type of missile, but the launch vehicle would not have been ready yet.

"Okay, I'll go take a look and talk to their parts factory. We may also need their parts factory to help produce some of the parts for the BMW cars to come."

Private enterprises had not yet developed in those days, and auto parts manufacturers were almost all state-owned enterprises.

If BMW wants to quickly produce the BMW Light, it certainly cannot do without the support of the state-owned parts factories.

The relationship between OEMs and suppliers is rather special, and the roles of Party A and Party B are sometimes not absolute.

More often than not, we are in a partnership relationship.

After all, the supporting parts for a car are not supplied in a short period of a few days. Instead, it goes through early synchronous development and testing, several years of mass production, and then to after-sales parts supply after the model is discontinued, which lasts for more than ten years.

This is just a project on a single vehicle model. If we collaborate on more projects, our relationship will become even closer.

……

"Xiao Jiang, how is it? Did our BJ310 not disappoint you?"

The car in front of him actually looked a bit ugly to Jiang Hui.

The lines are not streamlined enough, and the chassis looks a bit high because it uses the chassis of an off-road vehicle.

However, considering the domestic road conditions, a higher chassis does not seem to have any disadvantages.

"Director Chen, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant now produces 5000 BJ212s per month, which means 6 per year."

"If the BJ310 contributes another 4 units in sales, your factory's annual production and sales will exceed 10 units, making you the first domestic automaker to exceed 10 units in production. By then, FAW will probably be very anxious."

Jiang Hui is definitely going to say something that people like to hear today.

Anyway, the car has already rolled off the production line, no matter what the problem is, it has to stay this way. Besides, in this era, people don’t really care so much about whether the car is ugly or not.

As long as you have a car to drive, it is already a very prestigious thing.

"I hope our sales volume will exceed 10 vehicles next year."

"By then, we will be more confident in our cooperation negotiations with Jeep."

The joint venture company originally established by Capital Automobile Manufacturing and Jeep was the first joint venture automobile company in China's automobile industry.

But now, due to the influence of Jiang Hui, the butterfly, the public in Shanghai has taken the lead.

"Does Capital Automobile Manufacturing have any plans to launch new models or make some improvements to existing models in the future?"

As his first job, Jiang Hui still hopes that Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant can grow and develop.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to discuss this with Chen Qi today.

"BJ212 is selling very well now. We will not easily adjust it. At most, we will make some efforts on the interior to make people more comfortable to sit in."

"As for new projects, if BJ310 is successful, then we can naturally consider further developing new projects. I just haven't decided what projects to develop yet."

Chen Qi also said that if BJ310 fails, there will be no need to consider new projects.

If they can just sell BJ212 well, it will be enough for their factory to live a comfortable life.

Jiang Hui naturally understood what Chen Qi meant.

Although he wanted to say something, he knew it was not appropriate to say more.

However, at least for now, the arrival of BJ310 has set off a wave of development in China's passenger car industry.

FAW and Shanghai Automobile are both preparing for the development of sedans, and Second Automobile Works is probably not idle either.

Car factories in other places all have their own ideas.

In the next ten years or so, the development of China's automobile industry will definitely be much faster than the same period in history.

Chen Qi is the host today, and many people from the First Ministry of Machine Building and other relevant departments have also come.

After communicating with Jiang Hui for a while, I naturally needed to socialize with other people.

In this way, Jiang Hui has time to communicate with people from other supporting factories.

"Director Jiang, thank you for securing the order for BMW's 4MT manual transmission for us. Don't worry, the price we sell to BMW will definitely not be higher than that sold to Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant."

As the director of the Capital Gear Factory, Li Nanhai has lived a very glorious life in recent years.

Among all the factories, their development is definitely very good.

The scale of the entire factory is expanding every year, and the number of employees has exceeded 1, making it a true super factory.

It can be said that among the mechanical factories in the capital area, except for the Capital Steel Plant, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Plant, their reputation is relatively high.

All of this has a lot to do with the 4MT manual transmission provided by Jiang Hui.

In recent years, their internal technical personnel have also spent some effort on improving the parts craftsmanship of this gearbox.

Basically, all the performance indicators designed by Jiang Hui before have been achieved.

And they are also trying to find ways to help their supporting factories improve the yield rate of parts, reduce the production cost of gearboxes, and improve production efficiency.

After this combination of punches, life at the Capital Gear Factory naturally became better.

"Thank you for your support, Director Li. The 4MT manual transmission you produce is in great demand right now."

Jiang Hui wasn't joking.

Not only Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is now using 4MT, but Shanghai Automobile's Shanghai-brand sedans are also using this gearbox.

Even many local automobile factories are using it.

The annual output is nearly 100,000 units, which is a very impressive achievement.

"This is all thanks to Director Jiang's good design. We also benefit from your help."

Li Nanhai really didn't dare to offend Jiang Hui.

The technology of the 4MT manual transmission comes from Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui. As long as Jiang Hui is willing, he can find another transmission factory to cooperate with and start a new business to produce the same product.

They can even make some improvements based on existing products, so that the performance will be better than that of the Capital Gear Factory.

As a result, Li Nanhai felt uncomfortable.

Just as the Capital Gear Factory was trying to get close to Jiang Hui, Cheng Tao from the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory also came over.

When Jiang Hui met him, Cheng Tao was the chief engineer of the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory, and now he is the factory director.

Jiang Hui also contributed to this.
