Chapter 301 A New Situation at Chaoyang Factory

The spring of China TV has arrived, which is not a bad thing for the development of all walks of life.

However, apart from having a meal with Fang Siwen, Jiang Hui did not have time to pay attention to more things in this regard.

Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, FAW and Second Automobile Works all began to compete for advertising placements on China TV, but Jiang Hui came to Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant to attend the delivery ceremony of the family building.

Since the construction of the family buildings began, the factory has been discussing the standards for allocating housing.

Those with high ranks and who have joined Chaoyang Factory for a long time will definitely have priority opportunities.

Of course, we also need to make a comprehensive judgment based on whether the couple is married or unmarried, whether they have children, etc.

The area of ​​the family buildings ranges from two-bedroom apartments of over 50 square meters to four-bedroom apartments of over 110 square meters.

These areas are all the indoor areas. Even a two-bedroom apartment of more than 50 square meters is actually similar to a two-bedroom apartment of 70 or 80 square meters in later generations.

As for the four-bedroom apartment of more than 110 square meters, it is comparable to the large apartments of 140 square meters in later generations.

In the capital, these residential buildings for family members at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory are definitely considered luxury homes.

Of course, after spending so much energy on building the house, it is impossible to just give it away to everyone so generously.

According to regulations, this time it is only distributed to everyone for use. Only after working at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory for ten years can the ownership be transferred to an individual.

This can prevent some people from being poached by other motorcycle manufacturers soon after they are allocated houses.

As for ten years later, if Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant still cannot retain employees, Jiang Hui will have nothing to say.

"Director, the residential building for BMW in Shenzhen will be completed soon. I think it is necessary to promote it to the people in Chaoyang Factory."

"Otherwise, many people would choose to stay in the Chaoyang plant because of housing problems and would not consider going to BMW."

Hou Guoming mentioned a very critical issue.

Many of BMW's technical personnel were transferred from the Chaoyang factory.

If the treatment on both sides is reversed, there will definitely be problems.

Shenzhen is so far away from the capital, if we want to encourage everyone to work in Shenzhen, the treatment must be good.

Otherwise, simply relying on empty promises is definitely not enough.

"This is a very simple matter. We can organize several groups of people to visit Shenzhen and Hong Kong."

Isn’t it easy to let people know that BMW has good benefits?

Chinese people love gossip the most, and it doesn't even need to be specifically promoted because people will dig it out.

"Director, our new production line will be officially put into production next month. By then, our monthly output is expected to exceed 4 units, making it an unmatched presence for other motorcycle factories."

Li Zifu stood next to Jiang Hui, waiting for the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building to arrive.

Among the staff housing buildings built at Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant, one was built for the First Ministry of Machine Building, and Deputy Minister Zheng Haiming came in person to participate in the delivery event.

Over the past few decades, China's population has been in a stage of rapid growth. Various ministries and commissions have also recruited a lot of staff in recent years, and housing shortages are common.

Even an important department like the Ministry of First Machine Building is no exception.

This time, the Chaoyang Factory helped to build a residential building, which, although only had houses for less than a hundred households, solved an urgent problem for the Ministry of Machine Building.

Many cadres in the ministry have chosen to give up their current housing and move into the staff housing near the Chaoyang Factory.

Because anyone who has visited a model home knows the huge differences in housing conditions.

The family housing estate that applies modern design concepts is definitely not comparable to other tube-shaped buildings.

Even a leader of Zheng Haiming's level felt tempted after seeing this unit.

"Xiao Jiang, your Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is now the demonstration factory of our First Ministry of Machine Building."

"You have brought us so many miracles since you took over the contract."

Zheng Haiming went straight to Jiang Hui as soon as he got off the car.

The two of them are old acquaintances, but there seems to be a different scene every time they meet.

"Leader, it's mainly because the reform policy is good, otherwise it would be useless even if we work harder."

You still have to say some polite words.

Even though Jiang Hui was devoted to studying technology, he gradually adapted to these things.

"The bonus issue you guys had a while ago caused a lot of headaches for the heads of many factories, and they all complained to the department."

"Your family housing is so luxurious today, I guess other factories are under even greater pressure."

"But I think this is a good thing. It allows everyone to see the gap and the direction of progress, which will give them more motivation to do things."

Zheng Haiming undoubtedly supports Jiang Hui.

In the First Ministry of Machine Building, many leaders were very fond of Jiang Hui.

This is also closely related to the fact that Jianghu can bring results to leaders.

"We are crossing the river by feeling the stones. We are testing the waters for everyone first. In the future, everyone will surely be able to live in better houses."

No one would believe what Jiang Hui said now, but if we look back at this conversation decades later, we would find that what Jiang Hui said was true.

But many times, no one believes the truth.

"This housing problem is indeed a big problem. Even our department is short of housing, not to mention other factories."

"It's just that the economy hasn't developed, and factories don't have much extra money to build houses, so it's naturally difficult to improve the housing conditions of employees."

“So your factory has set a good example for other factories, letting them know that they can change their poor operating conditions through hard work and make all employees live a good life.”

Zheng Haiming and Jiang Hui were chatting as they walked towards the handover ceremony of the family building.

Although in terms of level, there is still a big gap between Jiang Hui and Zheng Haiming.

But the conversation between the two was quite comfortable.

Jiang Hui did not have the timid behavior that other people had seen in their leaders.

"All four of your factory's products are in short supply, and the family housing complex has also been officially delivered. I am looking forward to your performance this year."

Jiang Hui doesn't like lengthy ceremonies, so Li Zifu and others will naturally take these situations into full consideration when arranging activities.

So today's event lasted for more than half an hour and then it ended.

Zheng Haiming and Jiang Hui directly visited the new production line which had not yet been officially built.

"We conservatively estimate that this year's production and sales will exceed 30 units, and the national motorcycle production will be close to 50 units."

"At the same time, we have also officially started the introduction of the third production line." "For this production line, we plan to focus on independent design and production by the R&D center, supplemented by some purchased equipment, to build the equipment production capacity of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant."

Naturally, there is nothing to hide from Zheng Haiming.

The Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant itself has 50% state-owned shares and is considered a subordinate management company of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

With all these developments happening in the factory, I naturally have to find time to report to my superiors.

"You started the construction of the third production line so soon. It seems that you are very optimistic about the future market prospects."

Zheng Haiming would certainly not object to the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant expanding its production line.

As the largest motorcycle manufacturer in China, the BMW motorcycles it produces are now in short supply, and expanding production is inevitable.

"The leaders have made far-sighted arrangements for various reforms. The domestic economy is now developing rapidly, and more and more people have more spare money."

"The demand for motorcycles will definitely continue to increase in the future."

"At the same time, we are preparing to expand the export business of the BMW S on a large scale this year, and strive to make the export sales of the BMW S exceed 5 units, so as to make some contribution to export earnings."

Although the current foreign exchange tension is better than in the previous two years, there is still a severe shortage of foreign exchange overall.

This situation continued until the mid-1990s when it gradually improved.

That is why Jiang Hui focused on explaining Chaoyang Factory's arrangements for export and foreign exchange earnings in front of Zheng Haiming.

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Hui's words, Zheng Haiming immediately expressed his affirmation, "Last year, your factory's export foreign exchange earnings were the highest among all the factories in the department, which can be regarded as a significant contribution to the equipment upgrades of other factories."

"Now that reform is in full swing, the demand for equipment upgrades in various factories is also increasing."

"Our foreign exchange deficit will continue to increase, and we especially need some factories that can generate foreign exchange."

"If the number of motorcycles you export this year can exceed 10, I will personally recommend you for the credit."

Zheng Haiming is well aware that the Chaoyang plant not only exports the BMW S, but also the BMW X, which is a project in cooperation with the United States, has a very strong demand overseas.

And due to the excellent performance of BMW X in Afghanistan, some other countries such as Pakistan also began to purchase it.

Even in the Southeast Asian market, BMW Technology is trying to export the BMW X to see if it can provide a special option for consumers in countries such as Siam and Annan.

"Leader, we will definitely work hard."

"At that time, we will also consider launching more motorcycle products to contribute to export earnings."

Jiang Hui has arranged for personnel at the Chaoyang plant's R&D center to begin developing "electric chickens". As long as the publicity is good and it is more related to environmental protection, the export prospects of "electric chickens" may be very worth looking forward to.

……

After seeing Zheng Haiming off, Jiang Hui immediately convened a meeting at the R&D center to confirm the development progress of the "electric chicken".

Originally, he thought that this project did not need to be rushed, and that the Peking Battery Factory could slowly start production after it had fully mastered the technology of the new generation of lead-acid batteries.

However, if you want to export and earn foreign exchange, some actions must be taken faster.

"Director, we have three designs for the BMW E. The design of the parts is currently being implemented. The research and development of the lead-acid battery, motor and motor controller still needs further confirmation."

"As long as the three parts can be designed and produced on time, the BMW E can be launched this year. We can even turn the three plans into three electric bicycles and launch them to the market at the same time."

When it comes to R&D matters, Hou Guoming immediately stood up.

Electric bicycles have very different styles in appearance design depending on usage requirements.

The low-end version like a bicycle and the high-end version like the BMW S both have a large market.

Hou Guoming also fully integrated the information he had previously communicated with Jiang Hui and arranged for technical personnel to develop relevant vehicle models.

Even the name of the first electric bicycle has been chosen: it is called the BMW E.

"The Peking Battery Factory is already developing lead-acid batteries. I have also had detailed discussions with their staff. They should be able to make some breakthroughs in technology soon to meet our needs for electric bicycles."

“Haven’t you found a suitable manufacturer for motors and motor controllers yet?”

Jiang Hui naturally attaches great importance to the "three electrical components" of electric bicycles.

Starting to accumulate experience in this area now will definitely be very useful when you enter the electric vehicle market in the future.

Especially for motors, even if we don’t develop electric bicycles, there are actually many demands for them in automobiles.

Engine starter motor, wiper motor, automatic seat adjustment motor...

Various types of motors have a large application market in the automotive and motorcycle industries.

You can handle this business by yourself.

Jiang Hui plans to have BMW Technology set up a company specifically to develop motor technology, and to carry out research and development of various motor technologies such as brushed DC motors, brushless DC motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, induction motors, switched reluctance motors, synchronous reluctance motors, and axial flux coreless permanent magnet motors.

There are still many scientific research institutes and universities in China involved in this business, so it is relatively easy to poach people.

But the future prospects are very worth looking forward to.

"There are quite a few motor factories in China, but the motor technology they produce is generally backward, or there is a big gap between the performance we need for the BMW E."

"We are still communicating with various supporting manufacturers to further investigate and understand their QCD capabilities in various aspects."

"As for motor controllers, there are also big problems in this area. The same type of products produced by domestic manufacturers are generally too large, have poor performance, and unstable quality."

"Our electric bicycles need to frequently control the operation of the motor, which places higher requirements on the motor controller."

"If the various capacitors, resistors, diodes and other electronic components used in it cannot meet the requirements, it will be a big problem."

"It is also very likely that these components will need to be imported from overseas in the early stages of production."

The more inconspicuous a place is, the greater the gap between domestic and international levels is.

Simple components such as capacitors and resistors can be produced by many domestic manufacturers.

However, the quality and performance are far behind those of some manufacturers in Japan.

Problems in this area cannot be changed in a day or two, and even in later generations they have not been fully caught up.

"Please compile a survey of the relevant manufacturers of motors and motor controllers. I will discuss with BMW Technology later to see if we can adopt a similar approach to the Beiping Battery Factory and have BMW Technology directly acquire a factory and develop this technology on its own."

These two parts are very important, and now that he can't find a suitable manufacturer, Jiang Hui simply plans to make them himself.

Anyway, he has the professional level in this area, and the worst that can happen is that he can lead the people below for a while.

As long as the research direction is right, it is actually not that difficult to produce motors and motor controllers that meet the needs of electric bicycles.

The performance of electric bicycles of this era cannot be directly compared with those of later generations.
