C294 Special Cooperation
Zhang Yunfeng could not explain to anyone the high-end skills he had obtained from the Super Learning System, but no one else had any way to master the powerful learning system he had. Because of this, Zhang Yunfeng purposely described the Super Learning System to Director Liu as a mysterious research team. He believed it or not, but he wasn't worried, even if he didn't believe it. In the end, in the end, his words were still convincing.
By using the so-called "mysterious team," Zhang Yunfeng would be able to ensure his own safety to a large extent. In the eyes of the higher ups, he was the only one who could get in touch with the mysterious team. If the situation in the future really changed, then he just had to insist. The other side no longer had any connection with him, and no one else could do anything to him.
However, since I want to develop a high-tech industry in my country, then it was necessary to build a good relationship with the higher-ups. So... Ever since he returned from the meeting, Zhang Yunfeng had been thinking about whether he should agree to the higher ups' request. He wanted to develop a high-powered diesel engine for the military.
Director Liu had also revealed that the higher ups attached great importance to this matter. If Dong Chen had the ability to do so, then everything would be fine. If you want money, you need to give it to someone. It could be said that... As long as it was within their acceptable range, they had to give whatever they wanted.
Zhang Yunfeng calculated in his heart. He was not in need of money at all. Asking the higher-ups to allocate a few hundred million worth of research funds was basically nothing to him. If that was the case, he could avoid this segment and increase the impression the higher-ups had of him. However, this task was definitely not for nothing. Currently, Dong Chen only had the automotive production line and the automotive engine production line. If he wanted to produce a high-power diesel engine, the waiter could customize one using high precision machining center. However, if he wanted to mass produce it, he needed to have a production line in order to achieve it.
Zhang Yunfeng wondered if he should get the higher-ups to prepare a production line for him. Or help him build a diesel engine production line. If he had the help of the country... He believed that a new production line would be completed very soon. At most, he would just pay for it.
High power diesel engines were not only used in the military. Nowadays, large vehicles were basically powered by diesel engines. For example, large medium and large load vehicles, cranes, excavators, forklift vehicles and other engineering machines also used high-power diesel engines as power units. Moreover, the market space in this field was no less than the gas engine that was commonly used in civilian vehicles. If this production line was built, it would be very beneficial to him in the future.
Zhang Yunfeng made up his mind and deliberately delayed for three days to get in touch with Director Liu. Once the call was connected, Director Liu asked, "Director Zhang, do you have any progress on the matter we mentioned last time?"
"Yes." Zhang Yunfeng said, saying, "Director Liu, I have already gotten in touch with them. They have agreed to your request. However, there was one problem, and they did not intend to do it directly. Therefore, the diesel engine must not only be developed by Dong Chen. Dong Chen did not need any financial support from the country. However, we need to build a new diesel production line in Zhangjiakou. As for the investment of the production line... Dong Chen will be responsible for all of it. However, the various parts, as well as the equipment, will be purchased and put in place as soon as possible. We still need your help."
When Director Liu heard this, he was delighted. He did not want to invest a single cent. He would pay for the construction of the production line, but he needed the help of the country to speed up the process. This was simply too worth it! And according to Zhang Yunfeng's words, Dong Chen was preparing to directly build the production line. By saving the research and development investment, did this mean that they had already grasped the technology that was mature enough?
If that was really the case, then the problem of the high-power diesel engine would be solved very quickly! Originally, the country planned to use 510 years to catch up to the western footsteps in the high-power diesel engine, but after 20 to 30 years, although the speed of the chase was never relaxed, the gap between the country and the western countries was still huge. If investing in a production line could solve this problem, then it would be extremely worth it.
Director Liu immediately said, "Comrade Little Zhang, I will convey your needs to the higher-ups as soon as possible, but I also need a promise. Do they have the confidence to develop a high-powered diesel engine that meets our requirements?"
Zhang Yunfeng laughed in his heart. He did not expect that even the way he addressed him had changed. He had become Comrade Little Zhang. For people of their position, it seemed that this way of address was more cordial. And then... Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, they have already promised to produce a high-power diesel engine that meets the requirements of the country."
"That's good!" Director Liu said in a hurry, "I will report to the leader now. Later, you should organize a plan to build a new production line as soon as possible. Also, what exactly do you need, where to choose, how much land you need, how large the factory area, and what kind of production equipment you need? When the time comes, we will do our best to help you build the production line. "
Zhang Yunfeng did not doubt his words at all. The country did things. It would be many times more efficient than him doing things himself. He wanted a piece of land. It would take at least a month for the report to come down. However, if they made an appearance, he estimated that they would be able to settle it within a day. Moreover, all kinds of equipment must be available in the state-owned industrial companies. Since they were unable to develop engines that met the requirements, they might as well transport the equipment to them.
Zhang Yunfeng asked the waiter to draft up a plan. Most of the content was about the various requirements that he proposed. However, Zhang Yunfeng did not intend to let the country pay for him and invest in a production line. At most, the cost would not exceed one billion. Ever since the damp-dispelling and bonesetting plaster landed in the United States, his cash flow was even more abundant, and this little bit of money basically did not matter.
Zhang Yunfeng brought up the plan. It had only been more than ten hours. That night, Director Liu called Zhang Yunfeng and said, "Comrade Little Zhang, the leader has agreed to your request. Since you want to build the production line near your Zhangjiakou production line, we have also gotten the use of the land in that area from the local Planning Bureau. There is one thousand one hundred acres of land that can be directly allocated to you. We will arrange for the fastest and best construction team to complete the construction in the shortest time possible. As for the production equipment, this will be easier to solve. The Northern Industrial Company will have ready-made equipment that can be directly transported to the Zhangjiakou for your use. All of this will be completed within a month. "
Zhang Yunfeng asked in surprise, "Director Liu, completed in a month? Can it reach this speed?"
Director Liu smiled and said, "What the leader means is that production is the core. In other words, our biggest problem now is the construction of the factory. After the construction of the factory was completed, the production equipment entered the factory immediately. We respect your opinion on the workers, technicians, engineers, and so on. You can use your own people, or you can directly transfer them from the Northern Industrial Company. As for the other auxiliary facilities, we can line up at the back. After the factory and the equipment are completed, we can manufacture them while building other ancillary facilities. "
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and agreed. He said, "In that case, I will follow the leader's arrangements."
The higher-ups responded to this matter very quickly, and Zhang Yunfeng did not drag them down. Soon, he had the second youngest design all the blueprints of the entire production line according to the land situation. This speed made Director Liu surprised. Such a detailed blueprint and plan... It must be a huge team supporting it to be able to take it out in such a short period of time. Therefore, this made him even more convinced of what Zhang Yunfeng had said before.
A few days later, the Dongchen Automobile was finally being sold throughout the country. In the Shi family, a new diesel production line also started to be busy with construction. There were over a thousand construction workers and dozens of construction equipment at the scene. This construction team was at least five times higher than the usual configuration. From this, it could be seen how important the higher-ups were. They wished they could finish building the factory within a day.
Zhang Yunfeng did not ask about the construction of the factory anymore. He had already given the specific design plans and detailed construction plans. He did not need to monitor the progress of the project. He had put all his energy into it. They were all placed on the sale of unk s.
The exhibition had come to an end, and Dong Chen's fame was like the sun in the sky. There were agents for the Dongchen Automobile in all the cities in the country, and Zhang Yunfeng had distributed more than ten thousand of them all over the country. However, these ten thousand cars were sold out on the first day they went public.
The attraction of the Dongchen Automobile to the middle and low-end consumers mainly came from its high fuel economy, but in other aspects... Dong Chen was not any worse than other products, such as appearance. Dong Chen's car was more modern and fashionable. In terms of safety, he had inherited the strength of the Volvo in terms of safety factor. Therefore, the model of these cars also surpassed ordinary cars. In terms of power, there was no need to talk about it. Any of Dong Chen's engines. They could easily kill any engine of the same level.
In addition, Dong Chen was a genuine national brand, which greatly stimulated the consumer's pride. With so many reasons combined, the explosive sales of the Dongchen Automobile was indeed not surprising.
Even if there were more than ten thousand cash cars, they would not be able to meet the demand of all the consumers in the country. And Dong Chen also instructed the agents nationwide to start accepting the orders of the consumers. The deposit was twenty thousand yuan, and it was only the first day of sales. Apart from the ten thousand cash cars sold, Dong Chen received more than one hundred thousand orders from all over the country.
The consumer's love for the Dongchen Automobile had greatly exceeded the expectations of all the competitors. Such a popular sales situation in the market had also attracted the attention of various media outlets. Many of the Dongchen Automobile distributors were trampled on by the large number of purchases. Reporters also interviewed the consumers who were waiting to place their orders. When they asked them why they loved Dongchen Automobile so much, they received all sorts of replies.
Some people replied, "Dong Chen's car saved money. The cost of fuel consumption has been reduced by 30%, and the maintenance cost has been reduced by 50%. Just these two items alone can save at least 10,000 yuan per year."
Another person replied, "Dong Chen's model looks very attractive. At a glance, all other brands of the same level are inferior to him."
"Dong Chen is a national brand! I didn't want to buy a domestic car in the past because there is a gap between domestic cars and foreign brands. But now that the domestic cars are doing so well, what reason do I have to not support it?"1
Among the Dongchen Automobile that had already been released, the most high-end model was the S3C that had appeared on the ToPGER. The price of the entire car was as high as 1.3 million, which was almost double the price of the high configuration S3. However, there were also a lot of consumers who were interested in this car. It had powerful performance, powerful ability, and smart A1 interaction system. This had become the winning point of the S3C in the eyes of the consumers.
The highest annual output of the Volvo production line was 200,000 units. Because it had been modified by the waiter, the usage of the robotic arm was high, and its efficiency had increased by a lot. Therefore, the highest production rate could be close to 300,000 units. In other words, there were at least 25,000 vehicles that could be logged off every month. Even so, it was still not enough to meet the demand of the market.
On the first day of sales, there were hundreds of thousands of bookings.
On the second day of sales, there were 85,000 bookings.
On the third day of the sale, there were 62,000 bookings.
On the fourth day of the launch, the reservation was close to 50,000.
On the fifth day, the distributor didn't even dare to promise the deadline. Because they weren't sure how many orders the other distributors in the country had received. If the total number of orders exceeded 300,000, at this rate... If the consumers could not wait, they would have to find trouble with the agents.
Zhang Yunfeng was also starting to feel dissatisfied with the production capacity of the production line. If he wanted to quickly sweep away the army in the domestic market, he did not only rely on high-end products, but also on powerful productivity. Otherwise, if he did not have the ability to provide enough cash cars, then the consumers would not have the patience to wait. In the end, they would have no choice but to choose other brands.
The production line in City J had already started construction, but construction still needed time. To Zhang Yunfeng, this became the biggest problem in front of him.
The waiter was also worried about this matter. He said to Zhang Yunfeng, "Boss, if we rely on our own production line to build, I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it."
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "At present, it looks like we will need at least a few months to build another production line. At that time, our production capacity will only increase by about three hundred thousand units."
The waiter said, "Can we use the methods of foreign brands to jointly build a factory with other brands?"
"Joint venture?" Zhang Yunfeng frowned and said, "If it is a joint venture, we can only work with domestic brands."
"That is also possible." The waiter said, "We don't have to work with them to set up the general assembly line. However... A lot of other parts can be authorized by other companies, this shouldn't be a problem... The reason why Ford was able to make it big back then was because they handed over most of the parts to other companies to do it. Countless companies worked for Ford, and the production speed was greatly increased. Most importantly, this can also reduce a lot of costs."
Zhang Yunfeng said, "The engine, chassis, and transmission parts are our core competition. Other than these, it's not a problem to let other factories in the country work on behalf of other factories or jointly produce them. We just took over the project to develop a high-power diesel engine for the country. If this project is successful... In the eyes of the higher-ups, it also has a certain level of strength. At that time, we can directly cooperate with the state-owned automotive manufacturing company through the higher-ups."
"This is a good idea." Xiao Er said, "If they help us, everything will be much easier."
The waiter asked, "By the way, when the diesel engine production line is finished, what kind of products are you going to give them? Are you going to give them all the products according to the parameters, or is it slightly higher than their needs? "
Zhang Yunfeng said, "If we follow their requirements, then the engines that we produce... Which is the technological strength of the Western countries a few years ago, they require 1501600 horsepower. But my idea is that we need to develop diesel engines at least 1,700 horsepower and above. Otherwise, if the military were to change into 1501600 horsepower engines, our strength would still be slightly inferior to Western countries. "
The waiter said without any worry: "Right now, our country can't even take out a mature 1500 horsepower engine. You suddenly take out a mature engine with more than 1700 horsepower. Then wouldn't that be too shocking? "
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's shocking. The key is that there is a reasonable explanation. If I take out a product that far exceeds the needs of the higher ups, then they will definitely be more determined to have an extremely mysterious team behind me. And I am the only bridge of communication between them and the outside world. In the eyes of the higher ups, my role will also be greater. This way, it will be easier for us to obtain better opportunities for development and help."
The waiter smiled: "I am afraid that Western countries will have malicious intentions towards you. If the high-power diesel engine is successfully developed, it's equivalent to the entire country's ground troops being pushed forward, but this technology will only be used in land warfare equipment. The Western countries might not care too much, but the surrounding countries will be very wary. In the future, you will definitely have to step into the manufacturing of aviation engines. At that time, if you continue to develop military aircraft engines for the military, I'm afraid even western countries will be restless. I'm afraid that this will put you in more danger. "
Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "Since you want to make it big, I have already considered this problem. But you don't have to worry. If we become indispensable in the eyes of the higher-ups, our safety will be guaranteed."
