Chapter 291 Chaoyang Factory's New Breakthrough, BMW 125 is about to be born
BMW is developing rapidly, so naturally there will be some movement at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory.

Otherwise, the Ministry of First Machine Industry would have a problem with Jiang Hui.

After all, BMW is now a wholly Hong Kong-owned enterprise, while Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant is a joint venture.

As the largest motorcycle manufacturer in China, BMW 70, BMW S and BMW X are now very famous.

In particular, the BMW S is now selling well in the Southeast Asian market, with more than 2000 units exported every month. This is a huge incentive for the domestic motorcycle industry.

It turns out that industrial products such as motorcycles can also be exported to earn foreign exchange.

"Director, our 125CC engine has basically completed research and development."

"Based on the exterior design drawings of the BMW 125 you provided earlier, we have asked the relevant supporting factories to produce samples. The first prototype will be produced in the next few days."

“Although 125cc is nothing compared to the engine displacement of a car, it is a significant improvement compared to our BMW 70.”

"The power performance of the BMW 125 will definitely have a very big breakthrough."

"At that time, we can also consider launching a high-end version on the BMW X to better meet the special needs of some people."

"Especially for the BMW X, which is used to transport 107 rocket launchers and their ammunition, the power performance requirements are relatively high, and the current 70CC engine can only barely meet the requirements."

After Jiang Hui focused more of his energy on BMW cars, Li Zifu began to be in charge of the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant.

This filled him with energy.

After so many years, I can finally do something big.

"The positioning of the BMW 125 is very different from that of the BMW 70. This is an attempt by us to move BMW motorcycles towards the high-end."

"Then we can consider setting the price at 3998 yuan and adjust it after seeing the market performance."

"When preparing various parts, you must pay special attention to whether the relevant parts of the brake system meet the requirements of the drawings."

"After the engine displacement increased, the power performance became better, and the requirements for the braking system also became higher."

"We must ensure that there are no problems with the brake system of the BMW 125."

Brakes are an important component that affects the safety performance of a motorcycle, so Jiang Hui must pay special attention to them.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be very difficult to recover the lost reputation.

"I have asked the R&D center to focus on testing the engine and brake system parts, and will also pay attention to the performance in this area when testing the prototype."

Li Zifu is a steady person, so he naturally paid attention to the situations that Jiang Hui could think of.

The core parts of each motorcycle produced by Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant are produced in-house, but some less important parts are purchased from external supporting factories.

Naturally, it is impossible to keep the various preparatory actions of the BMW 125 completely secret.

Especially at the Capital Motorcycle Factory, many people were keeping an eye on what was happening at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory.

"Director, does the First Ministry of Machine Building still not agree to our merger with Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory?"

From initial resistance to active proposal, Tan Xueqiang's mentality has changed a lot in the past year.

The imitation of the BMW 70 product failed, and nothing was left except a few completely unsightly prototypes.

Although the Shoumo X, which imitated the BMW X, was successfully mass-produced, it would have been better if it had not been mass-produced, because it ultimately led to the inventory of thousands of vehicles and the waste of various finished parts, semi-finished products and raw materials at the supporting factories.

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Capital Motorcycle Factory.

The factory has not paid wages for three months and all production is basically at a standstill.

Those with connections are trying to transfer to other factories.

In the past, families whose children could not find jobs and who needed to retire early to let their children take over would think of going to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory.

It’s different now. Anyone who has some skills and techniques and is attractive to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory will just resign and go there.

People no longer worry about whether Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant is a joint venture and whether they will lose their iron rice bowl in the future.

They only know that after going to the new factory, their wages will be paid on time, and if the benefits paid every month are converted into money, it is almost equivalent to one month's salary.

Plus the year-end bonus, if I have the opportunity to go to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, my annual income will at least double that of the Capital Motorcycle Factory.

The most crucial thing is that the Capital Motorcycle Factory now has such low welfare benefits and wages that it has no way of paying them.

No wonder people like Tan Xueqiang, who have the potential to become the factory director in the future, have undergone tremendous changes in their thinking.

As long as he can merge with the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant and become a deputy factory director or deputy chief engineer, that would be acceptable.

He specifically inquired about it and found out that being a deputy director at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory was a very popular job.

As long as you are a little bolder, the extra gifts you can receive every month when others ask you for help or recruit personnel can be many times higher than your salary.

"Now it's not a question of whether the ministry agrees or not, but whether Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is willing to accept us."

"They are already building a new factory this year, and the residential buildings are also under construction in full swing. There are few factories in the entire capital area that are more prosperous than theirs." "Under such circumstances, they would definitely rather build a new factory than merge with us."

"Especially our factory's technicians and workers above level three, most of them have now gone to their side, and they have even less interest in the remaining staff."

After Xu Dachang said this, Tan Xueqiang immediately became even more depressed.

He knew that what Xu Dachang said made sense. If he were the person in charge of the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, he would not want such a mess as the Capital Motorcycle Factory.

Not to mention other things, just the various losses that Shoumo X has brought to the supporting factories will cause a lot of arguing in the future.

"What plans does the department have for us?"

This is definitely not a solution.

Tan Xueqiang is also different from Xu Dachang. It will take him another ten years to retire.

"Old Tan, are you interested in contracting our factory?"

"There are more and more cases of factory contracting reform in China. If you are interested, I can discuss with the ministry to see if we can also contract out our factory."

Xu Dachang was ready to avoid this mess completely.

He is about to retire and doesn't want to continue to struggle.

The most important thing is that he has no confidence that he can turn the factory from loss to profit.

"Director, you know exactly what I am capable of."

"Jiang Hui was able to successfully develop Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory to its current size because he is a technical expert in automobiles and motorcycles in China, with a higher level than many university professors."

“There’s no comparison.”

Tan Xueqiang refused without hesitation.

He still knows how much he weighs.

Contracting a factory, isn't this going to cost him his life?
"If this is the case, then we can only consider stopping all motorcycle production in the future and switching to producing auto and motorcycle parts."

"With our existing equipment, we are still capable of producing some spare parts."

"We can ask the department to help us get some orders from the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant."

Seeing that Tan Xueqiang had no intention of contracting the factory, Director Xu Da thought that he should listen to the ministry and let the Capital Motorcycle Factory transform into producing spare parts.

If you just stay at the second party honestly in the future, you may still be able to make a living.

The situation in this regard was quickly passed on to Jiang Hui.

"Xiao Jiang, you are relatively familiar with the situation of the Capital Motorcycle Factory."

"Although they are not doing well, they still have thousands of employees, and the department cannot completely ignore them."

"The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has confirmed that it will give them more body stamping parts to produce. Can you also take a look at which parts they can make and give them some orders if there is no difference in price and quality?"

Qin Hao took the opportunity of visiting the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory to talk to Jiang Hui about the Capital Motorcycle Factory.

"There is still a lack of professional automobile and motorcycle parts manufacturers in China. It is a good thing that they can figure out this problem."

"We can consider giving them the production of part of the BMW X cabin, but the materials must be of the grade we set, and the quality must meet the requirements."

Since Qin Hao has spoken, Jiang Hui must give him face.

Jiang Hui has a scale in his mind to judge which parts are useless.

For example, the cabin of the BMW X requires a large amount of steel, and the technical difficulty of processing is relatively low.

If Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant were to produce the products on its own, the planned amount of steel consumed each month would be a bit too much.

There is no telling when a gap in raw material supply may occur.

However, if it is handed over to general supporting factories for production, the supply cannot be guaranteed.

The Capital Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant is different. It has a high level and has been the focus of the ministry recently.

The production of the BMW X's cabin was handed over to the other party. It looks like the parts are very large, and it seems that they support the other party's transformation. The department must be very happy.

Sure enough, when Qin Hao saw Jiang Hui hand over such a large part of a product with high sales volume without any hesitation, his face was full of smiles.

"No problem. It happens that your two factories are not far away from each other. The car model is relatively large, and the transportation fee would be quite high if the distance was far."

"If you need any assistance from the department later, just let me know."

After Qin Hao said this, Jiang Hui immediately became impolite, "Leader, I really have a problem that needs help from the department."
