Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 149 Deliberate Supplier Selection
It has been half a month since the equipment installation was completed, but production still cannot proceed.Why, this is not something that everyone reads the novel and says that the production can be done after the installation is completed, and then what happens.First of all, after the equipment is installed, it needs to be debugged for a long time to adapt to the new environment and new production tasks.The second is the cultivation of personnel. These people are newcomers without production and management. Now they have to hurry up to learn how to operate the equipment and the relationship between people and equipment and between people. It is called forming combat power.A new piece of equipment is not only for you to be familiar with, but also for you to operate and use it skillfully, which plays a vital role in whether the equipment can be used to its full potential.

In fact, it is said that this motorcycle factory can conduct trial production, and many factories and enterprises that are newly put into production also do this.But after all, this is considered to be engaged in the production of technical equipment. Maybe when I say this, some people may scold me, saying that a broken motorcycle factory is a broken high-tech industry, and what we have produced.But I want to tell you that it is true, although this is not uncommon today 30 years later, it is really a rare thing for the 80s, especially Jiang Chen and the others who have relatively high investment from abroad are still relatively few of.Moreover, people's education levels are different, which also determines our ability to accept new things.It must be very easy to learn to operate a piece of equipment in today's education and information technology, but it was a very difficult thing in the 80s.For example, in the training of these workers, some people just don't understand the principle of this operation, and pass it by rote every time, but if you ask him to change the parameters a little, he won't understand, which makes Jiang Chen very helpless.

There is another problem of funds. You must know that this factory is simply a swallowing beast. All kinds of things cost money, especially at this stage of starting from scratch.They are considered a private enterprise. Although the B17 factory has a certain share, it still can't play any role. It can't let it provide some guns and ammunition.And since the B17 factory can earn foreign exchange, the higher authorities have paid more and more attention to it. , There are seven or eight accountants and cashiers assigned to the factory by various departments. Now every penny used in the factory has to be approved many times.Even the factory secretary had to submit a detailed plan, not to mention Jiang Chen's advantage here.Therefore, in view of the fact that the motorcycle factory may not be profitable for a long time, Jiang Chen and the others must give the motorcycle factory Liu a start-up and emergency fund, so they must use it carefully.Jiang Chen and the others had to shorten the trial operation period, so the initial stage was definitely not acceptable, and the trial operation could only be carried out after a certain level of proficiency at the grassroots level.

The most troublesome thing for Jiang Chen now is the suppliers of various materials, which is the most difficult in this period when information exchange is very underdeveloped.As you know, many parts of the motorcycle are assembled into a whole, and what Jiang Chen and the others are going to produce is the production of the intermediate parts of the motorcycle, and then the overall assembly.The more noisy primary raw materials and parts will come from various suppliers, so the tricky thing for Jiang Chen and the others now is to find various suppliers at this stage.

Maybe what I said was rather vague and you may not understand it, so I will give a few examples to explain.For example, the aluminum, zinc, magnesium, etc. needed for the production of motorcycle engines, although the final alloy materials are refined by themselves, but the initial raw materials are provided by them.Another example is the most basic part on the motorcycle, the screw. Although it is the simplest screw, it also has certain technical standards. It is still difficult to produce it well, especially to achieve a tight fit. The ones in the middle of silk meters (one millimeter is equal to 10 silk meters) are very hard.If Jiang Chen wanted to produce it himself, it would be extremely uneconomical for him, so he decided to find a supplier first.

One more thing, that is this rubber tire.Don't look at it as simple, it is also an aggregate, such as the most important rubber in the tire, Jiangchen and the others can't produce it, so they have to find the petrochemical unit to solve it.Another example is the wiring inside the tire used to increase the strength of the tire. This is also very demanding and must be produced by a professional factory.Another example is the steel wire used for solidification, which also has to be provided by the steel factory.Then let's talk about all the plastics of this shell. This is also a special factory to provide raw materials, and then it is made by a motorcycle factory.In fact, there are many such things, such as the glass used for the headlights and the light bulbs, which also need to be provided.Besides, this battery also needs to be specially customized by a supplier.And these wires, steel, paint and so on and so forth.

So this is a very troublesome and complicated thing, but it must be done, because it is related to whether the factory can carry out production work.For the past half month or so, Jiang Chen's main focus of work has been on this aspect. It can be said that he is basically in the car and train, basically running from one city to the next.Sometimes in this place in the morning, and in another place at night, Jiang Chen, who hated riding this kind of green leather car, suffered a lot.Of course, it wasn't just him, even Fatty, Glasses and Jiang Chen, who were engaged in procurement and reception in the service company, were also sent out.

Some people would like to ask, is it not easy to find a supplier under the circumstance that the market effect is very bad? In fact, it is also very easy.But it's really hard to find a good and reliable one, that's why Jiang Chen took the pains to make an on-the-spot investigation before making a choice.First, preliminarily screen one side, then issue bidding invitations to these factories, let them go to the motorcycle factory on time for on-site inspections, and then conduct on-site bidding, and finally determine the suppliers of various raw materials and parts.

Of course, what Jiang Chen did this time has also had a great impact. Now all the good factories in the country and people who pay attention to this industry are paying attention to this matter. ) production enterprises, that is of course very interesting.Of course, Jiang Chen also knows that attracting attention means that the risks you encounter will be higher, and any small mistake will be magnified and known to everyone.So now Jiang Chen needs to take every step carefully, otherwise it will be a disaster for him.A forerunner who leads a new era is destined to not be smooth sailing, and extremely dangerous, just look at those figures in history.
