Chapter 1086 The Brothers Came After Smell
Frankly speaking, before this, although the executives of Panther Motors already knew that Zhang Qihang might design a car for themselves, everyone was cautiously optimistic about the standard of this car manner.

It's not that everyone is narrow-minded, but everyone instinctively feels that, as the general manager of Huateng Industrial Group, Zhang Qihang can't come up with a car that is better than Huateng Excelle for Panther, right?
Therefore, when everyone was discussing in private, although everyone felt that Zhang Qihang was unlikely to design a hatchback for himself, there was a high probability that it would be a small car of the size of the Peugeot 206 or the Polo sedan.

But what everyone never expected was that Zhang Qihang was so generous, he directly gave a standard compact sedan, and the design was quite mature. Whether it is a commercial car for individual small bosses or a department-level daily travel car for large companies, state-owned enterprises and institutions, this car can be perfectly competent, and even as far as what you see now, it is also qualified to be used as a taxi.

For an automobile manufacturing company, "wide adaptability" is an extremely rare advantage, because it means that this product can cover every segment of the market as widely as possible and earn the most profit. Before that, Everyone in the Black Panther car didn't dare to think that such a good thing could happen to them, but now, this kind of good thing that they didn't even dare to think about before, just fell on their heads. For a while, many people I felt ashamed secretly in my heart, and felt that my previous guess was simply a villain.

Only Li Pengfei stood in front of the 1:8 high-precision clay model and rubbed his hands excitedly, drooling: "Mr. Zhang, this car is great. I like it so much. When will it be delivered to us?" Production?"

"If you have no objections..."

"No opinion, we have no opinion!"

Before Zhang Qihang finished speaking, Li Pengfei nodded hurriedly, lest Zhang Qihang regret it: "That's it!"

Li Pengfei was very satisfied with this car.

"Well," seeing that Li Pengfei was very satisfied with this car, Zhang Qihang responded and said, "If you are sure you want this car, it will take about 20 to 24 hours from now until all the tests are completed and it is officially launched. months..."

"Once a person is over 50 years old, he doesn't have so many ambitions," Li Dacheng lit a cigarette, and said to himself: "If it is in the government department, let's not talk about those big cadres, just take a look. Those senior staff members and deputy senior staff members who are after 45 years old and have no real job, these people just waste their time with a cup of tea and a newspaper every day. The same is true for our state-owned enterprise system. Motivation, and the current small life is not very good, don't worry about food and clothing, unlike in previous years, everyone can't even eat enough food, if this is the case, then why bother, that's it Have a good time."

Hearing Zhou Yong's words, Li Dacheng couldn't sit still immediately, and he asked Zhou Yong quickly: "Old Zhou, don't make fun of me with this kind of thing."

"Mr. Li, I just heard the news," Zhou Yong, the deputy general manager of the Jiangbei Machinery Factory in charge of research and development, rushed into Li Dacheng's office: "Mr. Zhang has designed a very beautiful compact car for the Black Panther. Sedan, it is said that those guys at Panther Motors are going crazy with joy."

The old sun that Zhou Yong said was the chief engineer of the Black Panther Automobile. Li Dacheng naturally knew it. Now that Zhou Yong said that the news was told by the old sun, Li Dacheng immediately believed [-]% of it, and hurriedly asked: "What happened?" thing, explain it to me."

Speaking of this, Li Dacheng looked at Zhou Yong and said, "Old Zhou, let me tell you that our Jiangbei Machinery Factory is now about the same as a deputy director in his 50s. He has no desires and desires, and his biggest motivation is It's just to see if there is a chance to raise the level to one and a half levels before retirement, so that we can get a better treatment after retirement."

Li Dacheng sighed, and said, "It's related to the Panther car, but our company just held a meeting, and everyone doesn't seem to be very concerned about the small car on the horse."

"20 to 24 months?" Li Pengfei was surprised: "So soon?"

…………

Li Dacheng couldn't help lighting a cigarette.

"Oh, my big factory manager, can this kind of thing be joked?" Zhou Yong was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet: "This is what the old Sun from the Panther Motors told me on the phone. "

Watching Zhou Yong out of his office, Li Dacheng picked up the phone after a while, and when the call was connected, Li Dacheng said politely: "I'm Li Dacheng from Jiangbei Machinery Factory, is Mr. Zhang busy right now? ok thanks..."

Hearing these petty and short-term discussions, Zhou Yong's heart went cold, and his mind was full of disbelief: Why are they like this?Just over a year ago, didn't everyone say that?
When the meeting was over, Zhou Yong couldn't bear it any longer. He found Li Dacheng and asked, "Mr. Li, why did this happen?"

"That makes sense! Besides, how much does a car production line cost? We've managed to save a little money over the years, so we can't just throw it all in at once, right? If the project fails, doesn't it mean that all these years have been for nothing? I think it’s better to use the money to build a few dormitory buildings for our workers, and give everyone more bonuses and subsidies.”

"How did this happen? Hehe...that's a good question," Li Dacheng smiled, and asked Zhou Yong: "Old Zhou, let me ask you, do you see anyone younger than 50 years old in our factory team? "

Li Dacheng didn't explain to himself, and said with a smile: "Hehe, there are still necessary procedures."

"what?"

Of course, if you want to continue to stay in the factory, I'm even more so, without you sitting in the factory, I don't know what to do. "

The two chatted for a while, and before Li Dacheng could speak first, Zhang Qihang asked, "Brother Li, the number you gave me is related to the Black Leopard car, right? Why? Your Jiangbei Machinery Factory also wants to produce cars gone?"

"what?"

Someone immediately said: "The Black Panther Motors said it is simple, but what price did they pay for the opportunity to produce this car, who can guarantee it?"

Zhou Yong nodded again and again, this is what he was worried about.

------------

There is no doubt that all three are sour.

To be honest, as the days have gotten better and better in the past two years, in the entire Jiangbei Machinery Factory, people have become less and less concerned about whether to continue to produce cars. The reason is also very simple: why should we produce cars? ?Isn't it to make everyone's life easier and to pay more money and wages?
Don't talk about such a great slogan as "rejuvenate China's automobile industry!", let alone whether the workers of Jiangbei Machinery Factory have such a high awareness. What do these large state-owned central enterprises such as Sinotruk and Sinotruk do for food?In the field of passenger vehicles, Huateng Industrial Group, a rising star, is already a well-deserved leader in the field of passenger vehicles in China.

Thinking of this, Li Dacheng waved his hand to Zhou Yong: "Old Zhou, you don't need to answer me in a hurry. For such a big matter, you should think about it for a few days after you go back. After you have considered it, you can discuss it with your family. After the whole family has reached a consensus, you Come back and tell me the answer."

"You are technically savvy in our factory, and you don't know much about people's sophistication. If you don't hold such a meeting, you might think that our factory is in the same situation as it was a few years ago, and everyone is motivated," As Li Dacheng said, he lit a cigarette, and in the smog, Li Dacheng's eyes began to wander: "Old Zhou, I will retire in a few years, and you have seen the situation of our factory. It's no different for an old man waiting to retire, but you are still young, if you still have the energy and want to go out and make a difference, I will definitely support you here.

But now that Heibao Motors did this, Li Dacheng was stimulated: Heibao Motors has made so much money by producing compact commercial vehicles, vans and mini-cars, and its life is so prosperous that it still wants to continue to expand its business , marching towards cars with higher technical content, our Jiangbei Machinery Factory is now sleeping on the credit book?
After smoking a cigarette in three or two puffs, he pressed the remaining half of the cigarette butt into the ashtray vigorously, Li Dacheng nodded heavily: "Old Zhou, you are right, we have to find a way to keep up, and then If we don’t think about it, maybe they won’t take us to play in the future.”

"what?"

Everyone Zhou Yong listened to was dumbfounded. After a while, he said in disbelief: "Mr. Li, what do you mean...you already knew?"

"..."

After hearing Li Dacheng's words, Zhou Yong realized in his heart: Is that so?It turned out that Director Li cooperated with him so much in holding this meeting, and the purpose of this meeting turned out to be this...

So, for such a great thing as revitalizing the Huaxia automobile industry, when will it be Jiangbei Machinery Factory's turn?Let's make some money, pay the workers enough wages and bonuses, eat and drink what they should eat in the rest of the time, and use the pension to grow flowers and feed the birds after retirement, that's all.

Seeing that Li Dacheng was not in a hurry to let himself answer, Zhou Yong also heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Thank you Mr. Li, then I'll go back first?"

Zhou Yong nodded again and again, and told Li Dacheng the matter: "Some time ago...and when Mr. Zhang went to their Black Panther car, he also brought a 1:8 high-precision clay model. I said, when I saw this clay model, everyone's eyes were straightened..."

Zhou Yong left with a heavy heart.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Zhang Qihang did not ask Panther to keep this matter secret, within two days, Jiangbei Machinery Factory, Qinchuan Machinery Factory and Da Lao Wang knew about it.

Yes, this call was made by Li Dacheng to Zhang Qihang. Although his treatment was the same as that of Li Pengfei, he could also ask the duty secretary to transfer the call to Zhang Qihang's landline after talking to Zhang Qihang's secretary on duty. Knowing his own affairs, Li Dacheng has never done this before.

Li Dacheng smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

After waiting for a few seconds, the phone was connected, and Zhang Qihang complained from the opposite side: "Old Brother Li, Old Li Brother, why are you still so polite to me? You always ask the secretary to transfer you. It’s okay to call.”

"It's reasonable, it's too reasonable. Our Jiangbei Machinery Factory is a state-owned enterprise, so we should pay more attention to the lives of our comrades..."

Just live like an old man waiting to retire?Zhou Yong was extremely unwilling, he still wanted to make some careers; but just resign and go out to do some careers?Zhou Yong's heart is not very clear. At his age, after going out, can he really find a job he likes and a platform where he can show his strengths?
Li Dacheng's eyes are so rogue, looking at the hesitant Zhou Yong, he knows what the other party is thinking without Zhou Yong opening his mouth, and he can't help but sigh in his heart: stay here, don't be reconciled, go out and have a break, don't have confidence , it is really difficult...

Therefore, when Zhou Yong introduced the situation to everyone at the meeting, and immediately proposed that "our Jiangbei Machinery Factory should also actively seek Huateng Industrial Group to produce cars", what surprised him was that not many people gave a clear answer. In response, everyone started to play haha...

Before that, because of the better life, although he also had the idea of ​​revitalizing Jiangbei Automobile, but still the same sentence, life is better, the big guy's monthly salary and bonuses are not old or young, so he just Don't be in a hurry, to put it bluntly, on the premise that life is easy, Li Dacheng is more or less lying on the credit book and sleeping.

"Let's have a meeting," Li Dacheng continued: "Although we are all optimistic about the car project, such a big matter must be resolved and passed by all."

"Go back," Li Dacheng nodded with a smile, "Whether you stay or want to venture out, I will support you."

Before this, Zhou Yong really hadn't thought about this issue, but now that he was reminded by Li Dacheng, he suddenly realized: It seems that it is really what Mr. Li said. 50 years old, and these two are about to be 50 soon.

"Too."

Zhou Yong was speechless, and after a while, he said in disbelief: "But...why did you support me so much before?"

"Isn't it? Even if he agrees, who can guarantee that he really designed it for us?"

........................

Thinking of the development time of Huateng Industrial Group's various models, Li Pengfei suddenly felt relieved: I almost forgot that Huateng Industrial Group has always been so fast!

After introducing the situation to Li Dacheng, Zhou Yong was as anxious as an old donkey pulling a grinder, and he almost walked around in Li Dacheng's office: "Mr. Li, now even the Panthers are starting to produce cars, you have to think about it." Way."

As soon as these words were uttered, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, who can guarantee that the Panther car didn't knock out its teeth and swallow it in its stomach? Besides, even if we open this mouth with Zhang Qihang, who would dare?" Guarantee that Zhang Qihang will agree?"

Forget about Qinchuan Machinery Factory, relying on the hot sales of Qinchuan QQ and two vans, they are living a very happy life, so although they are also jealous, but the jealousy is the jealousy, it is not drooling, but Jiangbei The machinery factory is different. There is no doubt that Jiangbei Machinery Factory has lived a comfortable life since it started producing electric bicycles and helping Qinchuan Machinery Factory manufacture Qinchuan QQ in the northern region, but anyway, Jiangbei Machinery Factory The factory used to have its own car brand, and there were two others. Although they sold the Milu brand to Da Lao Wang in the form of joint stockholding, they also promised Changan Alto that they would no longer produce Alto cars and use the Alto trademark. But don't they still keep the "Jiangbei Automobile" brand? At the beginning, everyone wanted to save some money to start "Jiangbei Automobile", but when the news came...

Apart from this incident, Zhang Qihang couldn't think of the purpose of Li Dacheng calling himself.

As a high-level practitioner in the automotive industry, he certainly knows the development cycle of a brand-new model. It takes about 4 to 5 years from the initial market research to the next conceptual design to the prototype from the test to the final finalization. time.Of course, among them, it will take almost two years for the preliminary market research and the subsequent conceptual design alone, so even for the world's top auto industry giants such as General Motors and Volkswagen, after completing the conceptual design First of all, it will take about a year for this car to finally go to the market and be handed over to users, but Mr. Zhang only needs 2 years?
"It's not bad," Zhang Qihang said casually, "The main reason is that everyone is very enthusiastic about their work."

What Li Dacheng said made Zhang Qihang wonder if he heard it wrong: the current leadership team of your Jiangbei Machinery Factory is not very concerned about whether to start the small car project?When I went to your Jiangbei Machinery Factory at the beginning of last year, that’s not what you told me. At that time, you still vowed to revive the past glory of Jiangbei Machinery Factory. These words are still in my ears. Now you will follow me Said that you don't want to launch a small car project?

Brother, what are you kidding?
Why didn't I ask the Black Panther Group to keep this matter a secret? Didn't I just want to spread the news to you as soon as possible and let you start the car project? As a result, after all my hard work, I got such an answer?
Li Dacheng knew why Zhang Qihang was surprised. He sighed and said, "Now it's different from the past few years. Everyone's life is better, but they don't have much motivation to fight. Naturally, they don't have the idea of ​​struggling anymore. Live your life peacefully like this."

"..."

If it was a few years ago, Zhang Qihang was still young at that time, and he would definitely refute Li Dacheng's words, but now, with the increase in age and experience, he also understands many things, such as Jiangbei Machinery The current state of the factory cannot be changed by just saying a few words. I can only sigh silently: Sure enough, the landslide of a local economy starts with the landslide of ideology first.
