Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 158 Newborn after "Weaning"

The boom in sales of Pioneer motorcycles was something that Jiang Chen did not expect.At first, he thought that people generally couldn't afford it now, but after looking at the orders collected from various places, he didn't have to worry about these things at all.Judging from the existing orders received, these are enough for them to produce until the beginning of next year, which reassures the leaders of the B17 factory who have been worried and the higher-ups who are concerned about this matter.

Judging from the order data, the general trend is that there are more in the east than in the west, more in the south and less in the north, more in the southeast coast and less inland in the northwest, more in cities and less in rural areas.In fact, Jiang Chen can also see that this has something to do with the current distribution of economic development in our country.Because the southeast coast is an area that was opened up earlier, people's income levels are significantly higher than those in inland areas with inconvenient transportation and less developed economies.This also affects their purchasing power, which is why there is a difference in the distribution.
Although the motorcycles are selling well, it seems that things have been completed well, but there are still many things in Jiang Chen's hands.The first one is that Martin is about to return to China. They have been here for a long time, and now the German headquarters is urging them to go back.Although Martin and the others are pressing, they still have to go back.But this is definitely not a small test for the newly established Pioneer Factory. In the past, if there is anything to do, just ask Martin and the others directly.But now that they have gone back, what should they do if there are problems in the future?The German personnel have withdrawn, so can the remaining workers on our side be able to independently operate the equipment to complete the production tasks?Moreover, new models and engines are in the process of groping and manufacturing. Although there is technology provided by Germany, how to convert the responsible patterns and data on the drawings into physical parts is also a big challenge for them. challenge.

Although Jiang Chen and the others had considered this before, they made some arrangements in advance.For example, arrange for workers with excellent knowledge to study personally, so that they can master the knowledge and experience in their hands in a more detailed and comprehensive manner.For another example, for the future development of Pioneer Factory, Jiang Chen signed an agreement with the engineering departments of five or six universities in Anxi to set up a joint laboratory in Pioneer Factory to carry out related research work.And Jiang Chen and the others also recruited a group of outstanding mechanical researchers from various places.Although these people have given up on everything, they have all come out one by one in front of Jiang Chen's high salary and generous benefits. Jiang Chen is not too worried about this point.What he is worried about is whether there is a shortage of these workers and researchers, which will affect the next production work.

Martin and the others are still leaving, but Jiang Chen and the others cannot stop their work because of them, so what should continue must continue.Although this period of independent adaptation is still difficult, with the joint efforts of all the staff in the factory, everyone persisted.Jiang Chen also made arrangements for the next work, and the factory still had to continue production. Now the telegrams sent back from various places said that many places have been out of stock, and now Jiang Chen and the others are urgently needed to replenish and send them.We can't wait in this regard, we have to produce it as soon as possible and ship it to others, otherwise it will damage the reputation of Pioneer Factory.

The next step is to modify and upgrade the problems that occurred during the use of this new model. Although the first model to be put into production has some suggestions and designs from Jiangchen, most of it is produced according to the German drawings. .But when this new model is put into a new environment, it will definitely be unacceptable, so what Jiang Chen and the others have to do is to make it change to adapt to the situation in our country.For example, this car was sold less than two weeks ago, and the opinions sent back from Oasis pointed out that because of the heavy wind and sand over there, sand entered many parts of the motorcycle, which seriously affected the operation of the motorcycle.Another example is the opinion report sent back from the southeastern provinces, saying that it is rainy in the southeastern provinces, so the road surface is relatively slippery, and the grip of the existing tires is a bit poor. I hope Jiang Chen and the others can correct it.In fact, there are still many such problems. These are all things that will inevitably occur when a new product is put into use, so Jiang Chen and the others are not surprised, but are working hard to deal with these things, such as helping these users replace their products for free. Sandy parts and non-skid tires.

At the same time, Jiang Chen and the others are also developing new models.Keeping pace with the times is the secret of a company's success, so Jiang Chen always pays attention to this.When it comes to new models, we must first talk about the engine, the most important component, which is the heart of a motorcycle and provides power for the entire vehicle.Therefore, we must first develop a new engine, and then design a matching model based on the engine.This is also Jiang Chen's long-term plan. He has been aiming at this new engine system from the beginning, so he cooperated with the German BMW.He knew the meaning of a good engine, so he did everything possible to spend so much money to bring it back.

For the development of the new engine, Jiang Chen also determined several goals.First develop 150,200,250, 300, 400, and [-] engines with low and medium displacements, and then develop engines with more than [-] displacements after thoroughly understanding the technology.Start with single-cylinder research and manufacture, and then develop relatively difficult two-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines.From easy to difficult, from simple to complicated, step by step, this will lay a solid foundation for the future independent development of high-performance engines that belong to our independent intellectual property rights.

In terms of car models, Jiang Chen also made a plan, first manufacturing small cars with simple structures, and then developing large and medium-sized cars with complex structures.But this is a relatively long-term matter, and there are more practical plans right now.That is to develop a 150-type new motorcycle with electronic ignition (electric motor), which played a vital role for Jiang Chen and the others to further occupy and consolidate the market.

The other is to develop 125 and 150 off-road motorcycles in preparation for entering the military market.The so-called off-road motorcycle is a light motorcycle with high mobility, high passability and high reliability.Although it seems that the above structure is simpler than ordinary motorcycles, simplicity is not simple.To meet the above three requirements, the design and manufacturing process of each part must be improved to a higher level, so that the motorcycle can operate normally under ultra-complicated terrain and climate conditions without additional failures.

The reason why this kind of car is produced is to prepare for the foreign market.There are many brands of motorcycles now, and if you want to occupy a place, you must use a unique trick, and this will also be a trump card for Jiang Chen.There is also the military order, although the military is now on the edge, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, as long as they win a little, it will be enough for Jiang Chen and the others.Besides, our army is now dealing with this kind of transportation that passes at high speed under complicated circumstances, so Jiang Chen also wants to help through his own efforts.I also hope to do something real for those soldiers who fight and guard under difficult conditions.
