Chapter 320 is officially offline, catfish is coming

"Xiao Jiang, the Seventh and Fifth Machine-Building Departments have notified our project team, requiring the delivery of twelve intercontinental missile launchers to the relevant factories before August next year."

"Next month, a new large amount of funds will be transferred to our project account."

"This incident seems a bit sudden."

Although Zhu Jiansheng is the vice president of Capital University of Technology, he has a close relationship with Jiang Hui.

However, Jiang Hui would definitely not tell Zhu Jiansheng the details of the negotiations between the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building and other departments and the Arab Empire.

Especially since this transaction may involve very sensitive content such as special warheads, Jiang Hui is even more unwilling to get himself involved too deeply.

So Zhu Jiansheng really didn’t know the information about this huge order.

However, the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building suddenly accelerated the development of a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile and required them to provide launch vehicles before August next year. There were obviously some reasons behind this.

Considering that Jiang Hui had been hanging out with people from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building for some time, Zhu Jiansheng couldn't help but start chatting with him.

"The missile launchers will be delivered in August next year, and the relevant factories will install the missiles on them and deliver them to the troops using them, which will be just in time for the military parade in October."

"I think the previous speculation about holding a military parade on National Day next year has most likely been finalized, or at least there is an intention to do so."

"It seems that the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is preparing to show off its muscles at this military parade."

Jiang Hui must definitely solve his father-in-law's questions appropriately.

As long as Zhu Jiansheng was given a hint about this kind of thing, he could basically get some news by asking around.

Anyway, no matter what activities are going to be held on National Day next year, the confidentiality level of such matters is not particularly high.

"If that's the case, it makes sense."

"But I feel like the funding from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building has suddenly become much more available."

"I heard that several key projects have received a lot of funding support at the same time. The people in the relevant research institutes should not have such a hard time in the next period of time."

As a member of the military industry system, Zhu Jiansheng has a relatively clear understanding of the situation in military factories in recent years.

Some factories are doing better than before because of their connection with export-earning products.

However, most factories have no export orders to earn foreign exchange, and domestic orders are also very small, so their lives are actually very difficult.

Let alone doing any research, even maintaining the normal payment of wages and benefits is very difficult.

Under such circumstances, the research and development of some projects will definitely be affected.

Even the income level of many experts is not as high as that of those selling tea eggs on the street.

"The military industry needs to free up some funds for economic development. This general direction will not change."

"The higher-ups have already determined that there won't be any particularly large-scale wars in the country in the next few decades, so it would be a bit redundant to maintain such a large-scale military-industrial system."

"In recent years, a large number of military factories have promoted military-to-civilian projects for this reason."

"However, we cannot give up on the development of key projects. After all, only when our military strength is strong enough can we provide a stable environment for economic development."

"Otherwise, you'll become a big fat sheep."

Jiang Hui chatted casually with Zhu Jiansheng without telling him the real reason.

Zhu Jiansheng was not stupid. Since Jiang Hui didn't tell him, it meant that there were some things that were inconvenient to tell him. Asking too much would not be good for both of them.

"Is your BMW Light going to be put into mass production and market soon?"

Since the previous topic is not convenient for in-depth discussion, let's change the topic.

As the vice president, Zhu Jiansheng is quite skilled in handling this kind of situation.

"Yes, we have entered the final sprint stage. Next month, everyone will be able to see the shadow of BMW Light on the market."

"According to BMW's plan, we will produce at least 5 BMW Sunbeams next year, or even 10."

"At the same time, we will also launch the second product as soon as possible to put the development of BMW cars on the fast track."

The automobile industry is the industry that Jiang Hui attaches the most importance to at this stage.

Relying on the driving role of this industrial chain, Jiang Hui will further enter other industries in the future to form a huge industrial empire. This is what he has been doing.

The current domestic environment is obviously better than the same period in history, and successful cases of various reforms continue to emerge.

In this case, if BMW can lead the entire automotive industry chain forward, the development of China's entire industrial system will benefit greatly from it.

Otherwise, why do many countries and cities attach great importance to the development of the automobile industry? It is because the driving effect of this industry is particularly strong.

"The overall domestic automobile production and sales volume is not high now. It is not easy to sell the BMW Sunshine at such a high sales volume."

Zhu Jiansheng naturally hopes that BMW can develop better, but the difficulty is obviously not low.

After all, Jiang Hui’s goal was a bit high.

"Local governments are now more enthusiastic about road construction, and the demand for cars is also increasing."

"The economic development in recent years has also put more money in the pockets of some people."

"I think it's not as difficult as we thought to achieve the sales target of BMW Light."

"There are still many poor people in China, but our population base is too large. If we divide up tens of thousands of cars, each place won't get many."

Without sufficient sales, there is no way to stimulate the development of the entire automotive industry chain. Jiang Hui has been working on this for so long, and he must be hoping that the performance of the BMW Sunbeam will be better.

Otherwise, it would not be sold at the low price of 2.99 yuan.

Of course, this reserve price is only relative to the prices of other automobile products. If we really compare it with the purchasing power of currency in this era, the price of 2.99 yuan is also a sky-high price.

"Since you have confidence, that would be the best."

"If the reform can go more smoothly, there will be fewer twists and turns."

"To some extent, your previous efforts to get the United States to help Afghanistan have brought new life to many domestic companies."

"Because not only the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory and the military factories under the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building can profit from it, but also some other daily necessities are in demand in Afghanistan."

"Through these aid activities, the United States has a deeper understanding of the price situation of some of our domestic materials, which has also promoted the development of our export earnings."

The content of communication between the father-in-law and the son-in-law is now becoming more and more extensive. It is no longer limited to a few factories or domestic affairs in China.

Jiang Hui occasionally comes up with some novel ideas, which are also very meaningful to Zhu Jiansheng.

In several meetings of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, Zhu Jiansheng's speeches were recognized by the leaders.

There is now a rumor that when the president of Capital University of Technology retires in the future, Zhu Jiansheng will take over.

This is also a very meaningful thing for Zhu Jiansheng.

Capital University of Technology is a vice-ministerial university, and there is a gap between the president and the vice president. For people in the system, this level is something that many people will never be able to get past in their lifetime.

Once you successfully cross this level, you will have reached the level of senior leadership.

This will definitely be beneficial for some of the things Jiang Hui wants to promote in the future.

After all, in this era, many business developments will be swallowed up without any background support if you are not careful.

In an age without well-developed information, anything could happen.

……

After returning to Shenzhen from the capital, Jiang Hui quickly listened to various reports from BMW and had a clear understanding of the current project progress of the factory.

The BMW Light's offline ceremony has also been officially included in the schedule.

"Director, the Special Administrative Region hopes that we can make the BMW Light's off-line ceremony bigger, and it would be best if we could invite more people from home and abroad to participate."

"I think this idea will not be bad for our factory, and we can do it well."

During the time that Jiang Hui was on a business trip, many specific matters at BMW were left to Fang Huihui.

Fang Huihui, who has slowly found her management rhythm, now appears in front of everyone as a strong woman.

Since she is from Hong Kong, she has more advantages than Chen Chenxing and others when dealing with relevant departments in the Special Administrative Region.

"Invitation letters were sent out in a timely manner to leaders of relevant departments such as the First Ministry of Machine Building, the Ministry of Metallurgy, Lingnan Province, the Special Administrative Region, and media such as Huaxia TV and Lingnan TV."

"We can also invite all the major cooperative supporting factories to come to Shenzhen to participate in the offline ceremony."

"It just so happens that the first five-star hotel in Shenzhen has been built. We will arrange for people to stay in this hotel and let everyone feel the great changes in Shenzhen."

What Fang Huihui said will not harm BMW, so Jiang Hui will definitely not object.

In this era, propaganda often needs to rely on traditional television stations and newspapers, and other methods are of no use.

The point is that there aren't many other options.

Therefore, it is necessary to invite relevant leaders and media to attend the event.

With the presence of leaders, there will naturally be corresponding media taking the initiative to report on it. In addition, with some travel expenses provided by BMW, relevant news about BMW Light will probably have a chance to appear in many newspapers.

……

Along with the release of various invitations from BMW, the news that the BMW Sunshine had been put into mass production naturally spread within the industry.

"Director, are we going to support BMW as well?"

When Lu Jianqiang received a notice from Chen Qi's secretary, asking him to prepare to go on a business trip to Shenzhen to attend the BMW Light's offline ceremony, he immediately couldn't help but go to Chen Qi's office to inquire.

In his opinion, other domestic automobile manufacturers are competitors of Capital Automobile Manufacturing.

They have no reason to support their competitors.

"Xiao Jiang is a talent from our factory after all, and the BMW Light has no competitive relationship with our BJ212 and BJ310."

"As the only wholly foreign-owned automobile factory in the country, there is no harm in taking a look at the various layouts of the other party's factory."

"If it weren't for the BMW Light Offline Ceremony, we would normally want to visit other people's factories, but they might not be willing to receive us."

Chen Qi basically had no great interest in the new product roll-off ceremonies of other automobile manufacturers.

But the situation with BMW is certainly different.

He still had great confidence in Jiang Hui and wanted to see what the BMW car would look like in Jiang Hui's hands.

"BMW's production line is a second-hand one purchased from Suzuki Motor in Japan, and the technology is not that advanced."

"The production line that will be introduced in our joint venture with AMC is expected to have a higher technical level than BMW."

Naturally, Lu Jianqiang also knew something about the situation of BMW cars.

Many of the people working at BMW came from the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

Precisely because he understands the situation, Lu Jianqiang doesn't think there's anything particularly worth looking forward to about the BMW factory.

"Equipment is only one aspect. Factories such as factory management and new product layout are sometimes more important."

"On the same automobile production line, different manufacturers produce different products, and the final results are also very different."

"I heard that BMW is also developing a sedan, and in the future they will probably develop an off-road vehicle similar to the BJ212."

"It wouldn't be a bad thing for us to go there and learn about it in advance so that we can respond in a targeted manner in the future."

Lu Jianqiang is now considered a general in Chen Qi's hands, so naturally he has to communicate his ideas well.

Otherwise, the inspection results will definitely not be as ideal.

"Actions in this regard are indeed worthy of vigilance."

"Jiang Hui is very familiar with the situation of our factory and is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of BJ212 and BJ310."

"If BMW wants to, they can quickly develop a product that is no less attractive than these two models."

Speaking of this, Lu Jianqiang felt a sense of crisis.

I guess my good days won’t last many years.

Many domestic automobile manufacturers are constantly launching new products, or are cooperating with international automobile giants to introduce new products.

Under this general background, competition in China's automobile market is destined to become more intense than before.

The era when you can sell any car you produce smoothly is probably gone forever.

"Yes, FAW, Second FAW, Shanghai Automobile, and Yangcheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant are all eyeing it covetously. Now the first model of BMW has officially been launched."

"If BMW really gets on the right track of development, it will inevitably have a relatively large impact on the domestic auto industry."

"We are most aware of Jiang Hui's technical capabilities."

"BMW will soon be able to come up with more competitive engines and gearboxes, and then we will be in trouble."

Times are good at the Capital Automobile Works, and many workers probably think that things can continue like this.

But Chen Qi and the others knew that was not the case.

The unchanging planned distribution environment of more than a decade ago is slowly disappearing.

In the future, the automobile market will begin to compete in competitiveness.

Survival of the fittest. If the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant fails to keep up with the pace of development, it may have to live a hard life.
