Chapter 742 Who Can't Tell the Difference Between the Important and the Unimportant?

Liu Muhan's sudden words made Li Ye speechless.

[Aunt, we are of different generations! Please don't tell me such things, okay? ]

But just when Li Ye didn't know how to respond, Xiao Zhu from the technical department ran over breathlessly.

"Li Ye, Li Ye, are you still talking nonsense here? Go over there and take a look! The Jinling factory has come to our door, and everyone is comparing their new car with our 136!"

"What do you mean by coming to our door?" Li Ye smiled and said, "We are all enterprises under the First Ministry of Machine Building. We can come to present gifts, but can't they come to announce good news?"

Jinling Automobile Manufacturing Factory was under the management of the First Ministry of Machine Building in 1953. In 1958, it imitated the NJ130 car based on the Russian GAZ car. This year, it has developed a new NJ131. It must come to announce the good news to its mother's family and earn some praise, right?

But Xiao Zhu swallowed his saliva and said, "No, Li Ye, go and have a look! They made a nesting doll this time, and the small one is for our new car."

"."

Li Ye was a little confused, so he followed Xiao Zhu to the truck area of ​​the report meeting.

Liu Muhan looked at Li Ye, smiled and followed him.

After Li Ye arrived, he immediately understood what Xiao Zhu meant by "nesting doll".

There were several blue Yuejin trucks lined up neatly there. At first glance, they were the same car, but when you look closely, you will find that the height of the chassis is slightly different.

The one with a high chassis has a 20-inch wheel hub, and the one with a low chassis has a 16-inch wheel hub. Apart from that, both the cab and the compartment are exactly the same.

Old Qiu from the technical department, Director Lu from the factory office, and Guan Liang and others were all looking carefully at the car with 16-inch wheels, and everyone's face was not so good.

Xiao Zhu explained to Li Ye in a low voice: "Originally, our 136 car has a load capacity of two tons, and Jinling's 131 has a load capacity of three tons. Everyone does their own thing, but now they have changed the wheels and also called it 136. Isn't it obvious that they are competing with us?"

Li Ye had only heard of the name of Yuejin 1041 in his previous life, but he didn't know there was a model 136.

He said noncommittally: "Let's compete! Didn't the above say that there is progress only when there is competition, and now we are encouraged to compete!"

Xiao Zhu glanced at Li Ye and said unconvincedly: "We are not afraid of fair competition, but what are they doing?

The driver bought the 136 back, paid two tons of road maintenance fees, and then changed a set of 20-inch wheels to do three tons of work? Who would be willing to buy our car in this way?"

"Well? What you said makes sense!"

Li Ye finally understood why Xiao Zhu and others were angry.

Before 2009, all cars in the mainland had to pay road maintenance fees, which were paid monthly and per ton.

If the load was three tons, three tons of road maintenance fees would be paid monthly, and if the load was two tons, two tons of road maintenance fees would be paid naturally.

Now Jinling has developed a modular design, which not only saves development costs, but also leaves some space for users.

Don’t underestimate the difference of one ton. It is a considerable amount of money when accumulated year after year!

Li Ye asked in a deep voice: "Have you taken a closer look? Are the interiors exactly the same?"

Xiao Zhu said indignantly: "It can't be said to be completely the same, but it obviously does not meet the two-ton load setting. Their car can withstand three or five tons, not to mention two tons."

The product thinking of Jinling Automobile Manufacturing Plant has always been adhering to the style of the Russians. Take their NJ130 for example. It doesn't look like a light truck at all, but more like a medium-sized truck.

The current new NJ131 is also more "solid" than similar products. In terms of overloading, it is indeed more advantageous than the new car of Li Ye's unit.

Li Ye nodded slowly: "This kind of thing is inevitable, and there may be more and more in the future."

Xiao Zhu said in surprise: "There will be more and more in the future? Then the public security will not take care of it?"

"Ha~"

Li Ye laughed.

Although what Xiao Zhu said makes sense, Li Ye knows that before the abolition of road maintenance fees, this kind of thing will not only be impossible to stop, but will also become more and more serious.

The reason is that with the development of social economy, the automobile manufacturing industry will completely transform from a seller's market to a buyer's market.

In the past, the old Jiefang and Beijing 130 were not worried about selling. Many small units wanted to buy a new car, but they had to beg for quotas.

But from now on, the buyer is the boss. I will buy the car of the company that can help me get more benefits. If you can't satisfy the users, just wait to be eliminated by the market!

At this time, Liu Muhan came over and whispered: "Nephew, the situation in your unit looks very serious."

Li Ye said indifferently: "It's not that exaggerated. Our domestic market is still very large. Not to mention the competition between the two of us, even if there are three or five automobile manufacturers competing together, it is not impossible to accommodate them."

Liu Muhan smiled and said: "But your unit has no money! Your light automobile company has not been able to implement the production base in Shunyi. You must know that?"

Li Ye glanced at Liu Muhan and asked with a faint smile: "You know a lot of things."

Liu Muhan said proudly: "Of course, Isuzu's technology introduction is also related to our unit. As one of the three technology digestion units, we will certainly pay attention to your unit. I have to remind you that your unit is the weakest among the three."

"Well, I know."

Of course, Li Ye knew that his own unit was the weakest. After all, according to the original historical trajectory, the other two companies, Jiangling and Qingling, had been living well, but the light automobile company under the emperor was finally merged.

. . . . . . . . .

At ten o'clock, the sun slowly climbed into the sky. The empty exhibition site finally became warmer, and leaders at all levels finally appeared. The originally deserted exhibition site immediately became lively.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that the scene at this moment is like a pasture on the grassland. A few sheep are walking slowly in front, followed by a group of big sheep and small sheep.

The whole flock has a strict hierarchical system. The little sheep really want to squeeze in next to the leader sheep and show their faces, but it is not easy for the big sheep to show their faces. It will never be the little sheep's turn.

Li Ye is just a little sheep, following Lao Qiu and Director Lu, and in front are the factory director, deputy manager Ma and so on.

Deputy Manager Ma is considered a big sheep, but in front of him is the Cherokee group. They are rich and have outstanding achievements, occupying almost all the famous positions.

"This is the BJ136, this year's new product of China Light Vehicle Company. It incorporates the advanced technology of Isuzu and has independently innovated 13 patents, filling a domestic gap."

The flock finally arrived at the product exhibition area of ​​the light automobile company. Deputy Manager Ma and others finally showed their faces in front, but after only a few words, they went to other units.

Li Ye once again deeply understood the meaning of "small unit".

Why do light automobile companies have no money? Isn’t it just because it’s “small”?

If it is in the following fourth- and fifth-tier cities, units with thousands of people will definitely receive great attention. If they need land and loans, they will receive strong local support.

But it won't be your turn for a while in the capital.

According to the historical trajectory of the original time and space, it was not until October 1987 that three prototypes of the new car BJ136 were trial-produced.

After many improvements, it was not until 1989 that it was renamed BJ1041 and small batch production began.

This is still under the condition of absorbing "part of the technology".

You must know that whether it is to directly domestically produce the Isuzu N series or gradually domestically produce it through CKD assembly, a large amount of funds will be required. The original light vehicle company did not have sufficient financial resources.

At that time, after the light automobile company reported the establishment of the Seventh Five-Year Plan project, it waited for three years before acquiring land for expansion in Shunyi.

Therefore, under this premise, although BJ1041 has a complete set of Isuzu's technical drawings, only the cab and the parts within its capabilities have been changed. This is actually a helpless move.

On the other hand, Jiangling not only introduced a complete set of cab molds, welding fixtures, test lines and some key equipment from Isuzu through a combination of technology and trade,

In addition, hundreds of millions of self-raised funds were used to accelerate technological transformation, build a number of modern workshops and production lines, and form comprehensive capabilities for large-scale production, enabling the company to achieve pioneering development.

Many years later, when the old people of the light truck company mentioned this incident, they were all sighing. If Isuzu light trucks had been completely used at that time, perhaps the history of this unit would have been completely rewritten.

However, if history is to be rewritten, only bugs like Li Ye appear.

Li Ye could provide enough funds now to expand a new factory and production line, but he didn't.

He only invested part of the funds to slightly speed up the research and development process of the BJ136, but if he wanted to acquire land and expand it, it was another story.

The light automobile company has three shareholders. The major shareholder has too much burden and does not have any money, but it also has most of the management rights. So if your money is not available, why should my money come first?

After the leader took everyone to visit all the new products, it was almost noon. They first had lunch, and then went to the auditorium for each unit to report results. The dull and lengthy report made Li Ye, who was in the last row, faint. Drowsy.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that everyone became energetic again.

It’s time for dinner!

But Li Ye didn't plan to go to dinner with everyone. He told Lu Zhizhang, director of the factory office, and planned to sneak away quietly.

But as luck would have it, Guan Liang caught his eye again.

"Li Ye, aren't you responsible for sending Section Chief Park and Director Han to a dinner party? I have to tell you something! Don't drive when you drink, don't drink when driving, don't drink later, and send the leaders off safely. go home."

I'll give it to your sister!

Li Ye said directly: "I have to pick up my wife from get off work. If I don't have time, Director Lu will arrange for them to take a bus."

Guan Liang was stunned and said seriously: "Li Ye, your attitude is unacceptable! What is more important, work or family? Why can't you tell the difference?"

Li Ye glanced at Guan Liang coldly and said with a sneer: "I bought this car just to pick up and drop off my wife. You say I can't tell the difference between the important and the important? Is there anything wrong with your mind?"

"."

Guan Liang was stunned by Li Ye. By the time he realized what he was doing, Li Ye had already left in a hurry.

So he angrily went to Lu Zhizhang to complain.

But Lu Zhizhang said meaningfully: "Li Ye can still tell who is less important and who is more important."

Guan Liang: "."

Is it me who can’t tell the difference?
