Chapter 1181 The Decision of the Mainland
On February 8, the sky was clear.
A convoy of six black Rolls-Royces drove into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park and entered the factory of Tiangong Automobile Group.
Chen Caijun, who got the news, waited there respectfully with his assistant to welcome Xia Yu and others.
"Chairman, good morning!"
"Hmm! Good morning!"
After nodding at Chen Caijun, Xia Yu introduced to Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping and others beside him: "Everyone, this is my capable general, Chen Caijun, president of Tiangong Automobile Group."
"Talent, these are Director Liu Zhihe of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office from the mainland, Director Guo Hong of China Automobile Corporation, Director Kong Yuming of the Mechanical Engineering Department, and Director Wang Ping of Heung Kong Xinhua News Agency."
"President Chen, nice to meet you!"
"Director Liu, hello."
"President Wang, hello! Welcome!"
"..."
Xia Yu smiled after watching Chen Caijun shaking hands with several people, and then instructed Chen Caijun: "Caijun, take everyone to the factory!"
"Okay, Chairman!"
"Everyone, please come with me!"
...
This time, when he came to the factory, Xia Yu clearly felt that there were obvious changes from the last time, that is, there were many more people in the No. 1 factory than last time, and many people were watching without hindering the production.
No need for Xia Yu to ask, Chen Caijun took the initiative to explain: "Chairman, other factories are now rushing to build overnight, so don't worry about the construction of hardware facilities, but there is a big gap in employees, in order to be able to assemble the new production line after the completion of the construction. It was put into production for the first time, so the company decided to speed up employee training by combining the old with the new, on-site observation and theory."
"Under the premise of not affecting production, each old employee should bring 4 new employees. Because production is in three shifts, employee training is also a combination of practice and theory."
"The company has made estimates so that talents can withstand it for the time being."
Xia Yu said with satisfaction: "This method is good, but there are many people in the factory, so we must pay attention to production safety to avoid production accidents."
"Understood!" Chen Caijun replied with a serious expression.
"Go ahead, start from the first link, and introduce the complete production process to several distinguished guests."
"Yes!"
"Then let's go from here."
...
Next, everything about Tiangong Automobile Group opened the eyes of Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and others.
The mechanized car-making process is much higher than the mainland's current car-making technology.
Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping may be confused, but Guo Hong and Kong Yuming, two people in the industry, can see the essence, which is why they are sent here with Liu Zhihe. The car-making process of Tiangong Automobile Group.
Chen Caijun was also reminded by Xia Yu before, so in the process of observation, in addition to introducing himself, he also brought in experts to introduce him, showing his car-making skills without reservation.
Not only that, Chen Caijun also did his homework in advance, and at the same time he introduced the Volkswagen Santana for a horizontal comparison. In this comparison, the Santana was completely defeated!
These contents were all recorded by Guo Hong and Kong Yuming in their notebooks.
They are also one of the members of the preparatory team for the Shanghai Automobile Project, so they have a certain understanding of the technology of the Volkswagen Santana, so they can tell that what Chen Caijun said is not an exaggeration.
After the final vehicle rolled off the assembly line, Chen Caijun pointed to the two sedans, the Shenyu Generation and the Honor Generation, and proudly introduced: "This Shenyu Generation and this Honor Generation are our flagship models of Tiangong Motors! "
"At present, Shenyu Generation has received orders for 14,225 units."
"And the Honor Generation received orders for 33,640 units."
"The total order book for both cars exceeds $750 million!"
Hearing this series of data, Kong Yuming, Guo Hong and others couldn't help swallowing.
Eyes full of envy.
At this time, while shocked, Liu Zhihe asked curiously: "President Chen, I heard that your company has six models of cars, and the previous orders received reached 2 billion US dollars, right?"
Chen Caijun looked at Xia Yu, then said with a smile, "That's the previous data. In the week after I came back, many dealers took the initiative to come to the door. Now the total order for our six models has reached 140,000. There are 4,360 vehicles, and the total order amount has just reached 2.6 billion US dollars!"
"Another $600 million in orders in one week!!"
"So much, it's shocking!"
Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and the others were shocked to the point of numbness.
The current level of Tiangong Automobile Group has completely crushed the entire continent!
With a smile on his face, Chen Caijun said confidently: "This is just the beginning. It has only been less than half a month since I participated in the Geneva International Motor Show."
"Although our Tiangong Automobile is a new brand, the market's recognition and acceptance of our Tiangong Automobile is very high."
"The technical level is one aspect, and the other aspect is that our models are very novel and are highly sought after by dealers and consumers."
"Let's take a look at our models and compare them with the sedan models of other car companies in your impression. Do you feel that our models are more atmospheric and more beautiful?"
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the car in front of them.
Wang Ping said with emotion: "I just wanted to say when I saw the assembly of the car. Your car is really beautiful and fashionable. What word can describe it..."
"Curvaceous!"
Seeing Wang Ping frowning in thought, Xia Yu reminded with a light smile.
"Yes, the curves are beautiful!"
Wang Ping's eyes lit up and clapped his hands.
"Mr. Xia, you are still more competent. I am a layman who is ugly, haha."
Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, and said humbly, "I don't know much either, that is, I have heard about it from others before."
"Everyone, do you want to get in the car and experience it for yourself?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all about to move.
"Mr. Xia, is this convenient?"
Although Guo Hong was looking forward to it, he asked embarrassedly.
"Why is it inconvenient, let's go, let's go to the test field outside together, it's wider, whether it's a test drive or a ride experience by yourself."
After finishing speaking, Xia Yu directly asked Chen Caijun to lead the way to the test track, and at the same time asked him to call the accompanying driver.
Soon, a group of people came to the test site. Under the arrangement of Chen Caijun, Guo Hong and Wang Pingping went to experience it for themselves.
Those who can drive can test drive, and those who can't drive can ride.
Xia Yu and Chen Caijun were sitting in the lounge chatting, occasionally watching them through the window having a good time at the test track.
After a long time, after seeing Guo Hong and others finish the test drive, Xia Yu and Chen Caijun came out and reunited with Guo Hong and others.
"Everyone, how was your experience?"
Xia Yu asked with a light smile.
Guo Hong said with emotion: "Although the direction of the cab is different, it does not affect the driving experience, which is great!"
"Moreover, what impressed me the most was the technical content!"
"I troubled your employees just now to show me that the Shenyu generation car is equipped with a navigator, as well as automatic height adjustment, power steering, cruise control and other functions, which opened my eyes!"
"Santana can't compare to that!"
While feeling emotional, Kong Yuming couldn't help but show a wry smile: "We've been sitting there watching the sky all the time. The mainland builds cars all by ourselves. When we see the technology of the Volkswagen Santana, we think it's top-notch."
"It is not until now that I have seen the technology of your Tiangong Automobile with my own eyes that I know the level of the most advanced car-making technology!"
"The continent has been separated from the world for too long..."
"Hey……"
At the end, Kong Yuming couldn't help sighing.
When Guo Hong and Wang Pingping heard this, they immediately fell silent, with bitter expressions on their faces.
In particular, Wang Ping, who was sent to Hong Kong for a few years, felt the deepest feeling about Kong Yuming's words. He had a lot of knowledge, and naturally he knew the gap between the mainland and the outside world.
But there is nothing he can do, and there is no need to mention the past.
After all, since 1978, the mainland has changed its strategy, and everything is developing in a positive direction. That's enough.
Kong Yuming and the others were in a heavy heart, and they had no right to decide what to do.
Therefore, after staying in Tiangong Automobile Group for a while, they bid farewell.
Xia Yu also knew that they were in a hurry to go back, so he just invited them to lunch at noon and parted with them.
That afternoon, Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and others rushed back to the mainland without stopping, and then flew back to the capital from the nearest airport.
...
In a conference room of the Mechanics Department.
Minister Sun Xin and a group of deputies, Wang Zijing, president of China Automobile Corporation, and Zhang Hongchuan, head of the Shanghai car project preparatory team, gathered together and listened attentively to Guo Hong's introduction of what he had seen and heard in Tiangong Automobile Group.
After that, Kong Yuming also made additions from his perspective.
After listening to what the two of them said, the whole conference room was dull for a while.
It was really the information about Tiangong Automobile Group in Guo Hong's mouth that shocked them.
Whether it is the modern factory of Tiangong Automobile Group, or the technical content of their current six models, or the order volume of Tiangong Automobile Group, each of them has caused a huge impact on them.
After a long time, Minister Sun looked at Zhang Hongchuan, then looked at the others, and said solemnly, "The state has used various channels to investigate the Volkswagen Santana, and we can confirm that what Mr. Xia from Xiangjiang said is very objective, and Santana is indeed Volkswagen. A failed product."
"Although it is a failure for Volkswagen, it is undeniable that it is still very advanced for our country's car-making technology."
"If it was before that car companies in the United States, island countries and other countries rejected us, and we didn't have a choice, that's fine."
"The most important thing now is that Tiangong Automobile Group, which is more advanced in technology, is willing to open up all its technologies to us, let us choose, and build a factory with whatever capacity we want!"
"One more important thing!"
"Tiangong Automobile Group belongs to Mr. Xia, a patriotic compatriot. Mr. Xia's patriotism has been unanimously recognized by the above, and we don't have to have other doubts."
How could Wang Zijing, president of China Automobile Corporation, not understand Minister Sun's attitude.
Regardless of reason, it is indeed more appropriate to choose the Tiangong Automobile Group that suddenly appeared, and he himself prefers this choice.
He immediately added: "Minister Sun, I completely agree with your point of view. It is a better choice to cooperate with Tiangong Automobile Group."
"Although we have been talking to Volkswagen for many years, there are still many differences."
"On the contrary, Mr. Xia is very ambitious. If we cooperate with him, the progress will definitely be very fast."
Zhang Hongchuan took a deep breath and said with a heavy head: "From the overall situation, I agree to cooperate with Tiangong Automobile Group."
"It's just that I have one more concern."
"After all, we have been talking with Volkswagen for so long, and Volkswagen is rarely willing to talk to us. There must be people abroad watching. If we suddenly give up negotiating with Volkswagen, will it have any effect on the country's image? positive effect?"
As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent.
This is indeed something to worry about.
Rao is Minister Sun also can't make up his mind, after all, this is a matter of national image.
Fortunately, Minister Sun was also a person who came during the war-torn era. He had experienced strong winds and waves and had rich experience, so he quickly thought of a solution.
He said to Zhang Hongchuan: "In this way, Team Leader Zhang, you can tell Volkswagen that we still welcome cooperation with Volkswagen, but they need to show their sincerity and come up with car-making technology that is comparable to that of Tiangong Automobile Group."
"Playing the ball to them is a normal competition. If they don't want to, it's their own choice. We can stand up."
"If they don't agree to give them the latest technology, then we will give them another option, and they can also cooperate on the Santana, but it is impossible for Shanghai Hutuo Automobile to cooperate again, and Volkswagen has to build a new car from scratch. a factory.”
"This method is good, we can stand up!"
"That's right, the public is playing tricks with us. We're still doing this out of respect, and I support it!"
...
Several other deputy ministers spoke out.
Of course, Zhang Hongchuan has no opinion either.
"Minister, then I will follow your instructions!"
"No hurry, you go back to Shanghai first, and then give me a call when you arrive. If there are other new situations, I will tell you."
"Understood!" Zhang Hongchuan understood in seconds and nodded in response.
After that, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
Minister Sun took Guo Hong and Kong Yuming to visit their superiors and reported related work, and finally got support.
After Zhang Hongchuan, who had returned to Shanghai, received a clear order again, he made up his mind. After following up with the Shanghai side, he found Dr. Werner P. Schmidt, the general representative of Volkswagen in Shanghai.
"Zhang, are you sure you're not kidding?"
After listening to Zhang Hongchuan's words, Dr. Werner P. Schmidt suddenly stood up and said angrily.
Zhang Hongchuan was ready when he came, so he said without changing his face: "Dr. Schmidt, we are also old friends, but from the perspective of national interests, I can only say that the sincerity of Tiangong Automobile Group Bigger and more attractive!"
Dr. Werner P. Schmidt criticized very angrily: "Tiangong Automobile is just a new company, it can't be compared with our great Volkswagen, their technology is definitely not as good as ours, you must be deceived by him! "
PS: I’m sorry, the census is over, and it’s already a little after I come back to write. I haven’t taken a shower yet, o(╥﹏╥)o
