The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 389 1986, Take-off

"The Ji'er Machine Tool Factory should be able to keep up with our pace of development, right?"

Jiang Hui is quite familiar with the hot stamping production line.

Automatic loading device, heating furnace, stamping equipment, laser cutting equipment, these five types of equipment are basically the most critical equipment in the hot stamping production line.

If some manufacturers in the future do not use hot stamped steel plates with aluminum-silicon coating, then it will be necessary to add a shot blasting equipment to remove impurities on the surface of the parts after hot stamping, and then apply anti-rust oil.

Of course, with the development of technology, in-mold cutting technology is also constantly improving, and some hot stamping production lines do not require laser cutting equipment.

But for most hot stamping production lines, these five devices are essential.

"The stamping machines produced by Ji'er Machine Tool Plant are relatively advanced in China, and they are also very active in technological innovation."

"So they can keep up with our pace at present. They are even ready to cooperate with us to further upgrade the technology of stamping equipment and strive to export stamping equipment to earn foreign exchange in the future."

While Liu Yushu was studying the hot stamping process, he inevitably had to deal with these equipment manufacturers.

Without the right equipment to build a production line, the hot stamping process is just talk.

"Since they are confident, the stamping equipment can be handed over to Ji'er Machine Tool Factory, and Nanshan Equipment can cooperate to provide some key parts."

"However, the heating furnace involves the control of very critical technical parameters, so we still have to control it in our own hands as much as possible."

"Nanshan Equipment should also pay attention to automatic loading devices and laser cutting machines."

The equipment industry has always been an industry that Jiang Hui attaches great importance to.

Today, the BMW Group has been growing slowly and can consume some of its equipment on its own.

In addition, all industries in the country are also working hard to develop, and the demand for equipment upgrades is also very strong.

This is a good time for Nanshan Equipment to grow and develop.

"Director, our Beiping Battery Factory will continue to develop in the field of storage batteries next year and also prepare to officially start research on lithium battery projects."

"According to the technical solution you provided earlier, we plan to start with the research on lithium battery technology used in consumer electronic products."

"According to the plan, in the next three years we will first produce the first generation of lithium batteries that can be used in laptops."

Among the people attending today's meeting, Zeng Minqun's status is relatively low.

After all, the Beiping Battery Factory is now just a relatively ordinary member among many supporting factories. Jiang Hui is the only one in the entire company who pays more attention to it. No one else thinks that the Beiping Battery Factory is worthy of special support.

After all, storage batteries are not the only product that can be produced by the Peking Battery Factory. Many domestic manufacturers can supply them.

"The development of lithium batteries abroad is very fast, but no country has yet launched a very mature lithium battery product."

"If we can seize the opportunity and launch the right products as soon as possible, we can quickly enter the supply chain of computer manufacturers such as IBM and HP, and become the world's largest lithium battery manufacturer in the future."

Others may not know the future of lithium batteries, but how could Jiang Hui not know?
Later generations of CATL became the world's largest lithium battery manufacturer, with a market value of more than one trillion yuan.

Similarly, BYD's batteries also have a huge influence in the world.

In addition to these two giants, China also has many battery manufacturers, most of which are of considerable size.

Internationally, manufacturers such as Panasonic and LG are also quite large in scale.

This is a blue ocean market, enough to allow the Peking Battery Factory to develop into a battery giant that is not inferior to any automobile giant.

So Jiang Hui directly provided Zeng Minqun with a set of lithium battery technology solutions, allowing them to develop the product as soon as possible.

In the early stage, it was used on computers, mobile phones and other products, and then gradually expanded to various industries, and finally used on a large scale in automobiles.

"I have tried to recruit talents from domestic universities and research institutes, and this year I also imported a batch of battery research-related equipment from Japan and other places."

"There will definitely be some interim results this year."

Zeng Minqun didn't dare to say it too definitely, because lithium battery products are a very popular battery technology product in the world.

They haven't done very well overseas yet, so if he says he can easily surpass others, few people will believe him.

"In addition to studying lithium batteries themselves, it is also necessary to organize special personnel to study the raw materials needed for the production of lithium batteries."

"Whether it is positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, or electrolyte materials, we must have a complete supply chain solution."

"We need to think about which materials we need to set up our own factories to produce and which materials we plan to cooperate with which supporting factories. These all need to be thought out in advance."

"Don't let the problem of some raw materials limit our own development. That would be a pity."

Jiang Hui reminded Zeng Minqun in a meaningful way.

Although many materials can be purchased both domestically and abroad, the purity of the materials is different, and the performance of the lithium batteries produced varies greatly.

Sometimes it is not even a performance gap, but a security gap.

With the same formula and production process, if the performance of your raw materials is not up to standard, the lithium battery may become very prone to explosion.

This is absolutely a fatal problem.

In the past, lithium batteries were not widely used until the 21st century. One of the key problems was the safety of lithium batteries.

Jiang Hui knows some key points of the production process and some requirements for the purity of raw materials, which can greatly shorten the time for the Peking Battery Factory to develop lithium batteries.

The situations of each subsidiary company were reported and discussed at this summary meeting.

Jiang Hui also personally clarified the next development direction for everyone, laying the foundation for future development.

"Director, the company's performance this year is very good. Although with the large-scale construction of new factories, the introduction of new equipment and the research and development of various new technologies, our final remaining profits are not particularly large."

"But next year, when the two Land Rover brand products are put into mass production, cash flow will be greatly improved immediately."

"New Year's Day is coming soon, and many employees are also very concerned about the payment of bonuses."

"Our finance department has made a proposal to give all employees a five-month basic year-end bonus this year."

"Those with excellent performance can receive 1.5 times the amount, and those with the worst performance can receive 0.5 times the amount."

At the end of the meeting, the speech by Finance Minister Lin Ying immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This year, the Finance Department did not explain the specific revenue situation of each company to everyone, but some data can still be estimated by those present.

"No problem. In addition to the bonus, all employees will get a 1% salary increase starting next January."

"As long as the company can achieve its annual targets in the future, employees' incomes will continue to rise."

Jiang Hui has never been harsh in treating his employees well. Although Huaxia workers now have a high status, their income level is not that high.

Of course, it's not just the workers who are like this. People in all other industries also have low wages.

As prices rise, wage income will certainly continue to rise.

Many of the BMW Group's products are aimed at the international market, and the company is fully capable of ensuring that the treatment of its employees gradually catches up with international standards.

Not to mention that the annual salary is easily over 1000 US dollars, at least it is no problem to let everyone expect an annual salary of more than RMB in the future.

Now, as long as the technicians of BMW Group are at a slightly higher level, their annual salary can exceed 1000 yuan.

Jiang Hui hopes that in the future all employees of BMW Group will have an annual salary exceeding this figure.

With Jiang Hui's decision, the mood of all the participants became better.

After all, no one would complain about an increase in their income.

Soon, some official decisions made at the meeting spread within the group.

Liu Tianwu, who has been paying close attention to the development of the BMW Group, naturally heard some of the content.

"Leader, according to the information from the year-end summary meeting just held by BMW Group, their business will be greatly improved next year."

"It is estimated that next year Shenzhen's GDP will shock all of its sister cities, and its national ranking will rise rapidly."

As Liu Tianwu's secretary, Yao Yiming knew that his leader was very concerned about the development of BMW Group, so he reported the situation to him as soon as possible.

As the largest enterprise in Shenzhen, the BMW Group has not only received meticulous attention from the district, but also received high attention from the city.

Even many of its projects are of direct concern to Lingnan Province.

Thanks to the development of BMW, Shenzhen has the fastest development speed among all the special economic zones.

"I just don't know how the two new Land Rover products will perform next year."

"If we can be as successful as Mercedes-Benz, then Shenzhen will immediately become the most important automobile city in the country."

Liu Tianwu's face showed an expression full of anticipation.

Serving as an official for one term brings benefit to one party.

He also wants to make his career more promising while promoting urban development.

In a special administrative region where economic development is a priority, the development of the BMW Group is naturally of greater importance.

"Director Jiang invited you to see the clay models of two new Land Rover products. They are absolutely amazing."

"Even if the sales of pickup trucks and SUVs eventually fail to surpass those of Mercedes-Benz sedans, I don't think the gap will be too big."

Yao Yiming was still quite confident when he said this.

After all, he had accompanied Liu Tianwu to see the clay model.

To put it bluntly, compared to Land Rover SUVs and Land Rover pickups, all current SUVs and pickups are rubbish.

At least that's what it looks like in terms of exterior design.

"Jiang Hui's talent in car design is obvious to all, and I have great confidence in him."

“It’s just that the domestic auto market is very limited. Even if it continues to grow, it won’t be able to be compared with the international market in a short period of time.”

"Except for the BMW Sunshine, the sales of other BMW cars are mainly from the American export market."

"If Land Rover also has to rely on exports in the future, the pressure will actually be very great."

Because of the BMW Group, Liu Tianwu also took the time to study and understand the situation of the global automobile market.

It is obviously not easy for Chinese cars to compete with auto giants in the international market.

"In the United States, the cooperation between BMW and General Motors has been very smooth. I think Land Rover will most likely adopt a similar approach this time."

"But in other markets like Europe, what will happen in the end is probably where the biggest variables lie."

"The entire European market combined is not much smaller than the American market. If Land Rover can make a difference here, it will be very worthwhile to look forward to."

Yao Yiming and Liu Tianwu had an in-depth exchange on the future development of BMW Group.

In order to further confirm the situation, Liu Tianwu chose BMW Group as the first manufacturer to be visited and exchanged as soon as New Year's Day ended.

"Leader, our factory is developing smoothly in all aspects now, but when more talents join us, our demand for education and medical support will also increase."

“I don’t know if the district can provide some support in this regard.”

When leaders come to inspect, don't be polite when you make policy demands.

Anyway, Jiang Hui has known Liu Tianwu for a long time and knows that he sincerely wants to help the BMW Group grow and develop.

After all, to a certain extent, helping the BMW Group is helping Liu Tianwu himself.

"No problem. Shenzhen University has not yet built its affiliated primary and secondary schools. The district has been discussing this with them recently."

"At that time, we can build a branch of the Shenzhen University Affiliated Primary School and Affiliated Middle School directly in the Automobile Industrial Park."

"In terms of hospitals, our district will also promote the establishment of at least one Class 3A hospital in the automobile industrial park."

Jiang Hui’s request is not unreasonable, and Liu Tianwu will definitely give his full support.

In the past few years, Shenzhen’s development focus has been on urban construction and investment attraction, but education and medical care are actually also a factor influencing investment attraction.

The city itself has already considered this aspect, and there is absolutely no risk if the district takes action first.

"In terms of building family housing and factory land, we will also communicate further with relevant departments based on the future development direction of the group."

"We strive to double the size of the BMW Group in the next two years."

After Jiang Hui said this, Liu Tianwu became even more motivated.

If the scale doubles, won’t the district’s GDP also skyrocket?
While other places measure GDP changes by a few percentage points of growth, their region measures it by tens of percent or even hundreds of percent.

The impact of the data is absolutely huge.
