Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 875, Supplier
Jiang Yan no longer cared about the affairs of the technical department. Let them do whatever they want. No matter what, we can't ignore their enthusiasm. Maybe they can come up with some good things based on their creative ideas. Wouldn't that be profit for us? The wisdom of the masses is quite unlimited.

Automobile production lines were also gradually transported to the workshop for installation. Under the guidance of veteran workers, new workers who had been trained began to become familiar with their jobs. Since they were all assembly lines, training was quite simple.

The top priority now is the bidding for spare parts. The dashboard, radio, seats and other items are easy to deal with and there are no big problems. Jiang Yan plans to contract them all out.

Some engine parts and transmission gears are of top importance, but if they are produced by themselves, the output obviously cannot keep up. Jiang Yan considered outsourcing some of the less core parts through bidding, and his own factory will be responsible for the final assembly. However, the factory that produces these things also needs to be quite strong, otherwise it cannot produce them.

"No way, how come so many factories suddenly appeared here?"

Huang Wanzheng sat behind a table with the words "Registration Office" written on it. She handed out registration forms and whispered to Tian Juan beside her.

In front of them, there was a long line of more than a hundred people, all with excitement and anticipation on their faces. Above their heads, there was a large banner that read: "Warmly welcome all major factories to participate in the bidding for the BMW automobile factory..."

Bidding was very common in the past, but this was the first time, especially in the Forty-Nine City. This was quite eye-catching, so when Jiang Yan and his company were preparing to hold a bidding,
Jiang Yan's plan has been communicated to all the middle and senior management of the company, that is, after subcontracting part of the business, Jiang Yan's company only needs to focus on its core business, and the marginal business will be managed completely through contractual relationships. This subcontracting model has long been very common in developed countries, but it is still a very new attempt for state-owned enterprises now. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Yan applied for the activity, it attracted the attention of the superiors. The superiors also specially coordinated a place for the meeting. In case there were no factories, they also specially coordinated. Not only that, several departments such as the Ministry of Industry sent people to visit, so the superiors attached great importance to this meeting.

You should know that in the planned economy era, the cooperation between enterprises was arranged by the planning department. There was a lack of direct communication channels between suppliers and buyers. Once there was any problem in the cooperation, it was very difficult to solve it. In order to avoid production risks and to save trouble, many companies tended to produce all the accessories themselves, which formed the so-called large and complete, small and complete business model.

The subcontracting method proposed by Jiang Yan this time broke the old business model and gave people a refreshing feeling. Based on his experience in the past, he proposed a set of ideas and actions for supplier management and avoiding supply risks, which won the approval of the entire leadership team. As a result, there was such a nationwide supplier bidding meeting.

However, although it is a nationwide investment promotion, the information is spreading slowly now, and coupled with some other problems, the scope only covers a few areas around Sijiu City. This is different from the slogan we shouted out, but there is nothing we can do about it.

The bidding was held in a large open space in front of a closed factory. Huang Wanzheng and Tian Juan were responsible for registering the bidders. Dozens of temporary sheds were set up in the open space.

Huang Wanzheng was from Sijiucheng. After graduating from secondary technical school, she went to work in a factory. However, the factory closed down in 76, so she came to Jiang Yan's company for an interview. With her capable ability and knowledge, she was appointed as the deputy director of the logistics department by Jiang Yan, and Tian Juan was his subordinate.

The people standing in front of Bi Min and Tian Xiaolan were all full of confidence. Some famous large enterprises were proud of their factories and looked a bit arrogant. However, most of the people from the factories were just like ordinary people. Huang Wanzheng also noticed that some people in this group were a bit out of tune with them and looked like old farmers. However, after being registered by the two of them, these people were directly assigned to other sheds to communicate with the technicians sent by Jiang Yan to see what his factory could produce and what they could produce consciously.

"My name is Feng Damao. I'm the person in charge of the small hardware factory in Xiahe Township, Wancheng. Our factory has 200 workers, 20 lathes, 20 milling machines, and 13 grinders." A bidder introduced Ziyi's factory in this way.

After listening to his introduction, the technicians understood that this factory was one of the five local small enterprises.
The concept of "five local smalls" was a plan proposed when the country formulated its fourth five-year plan in 1970. The specific content was that the central government allocated special funds to support various provinces and regions in developing five types of industrial projects, namely small coal mines, small steel mills, small fertilizer plants, small cement plants and small machinery plants.

The five local small industries were eventually implemented in all counties, and almost every county in the country established the five projects, thus forming a relatively independent industrial system that can independently solve the most basic needs in industrial and agricultural production. The construction of the five local small industries has achieved the goal of promoting the industrialization process in the country and cultivating a large number of small industrial enterprises. Some of these small enterprises have become the seeds of my country's industrial development.

The construction of the five small industries in the local area also had great problems. Since the scale of a county was small, most of the five small industrial projects could not meet the requirements of economies of scale, resulting in what was later called the problem of low-level duplicate construction.

However, after the reform and opening up, the state began to gradually adjust the local policies on the "five smalls", closing down and merging a large number of small enterprises that did not meet the economic production requirements, and replacing the functions of these small enterprises with a number of large enterprises.

In order to meet the needs of developing the five local small industries, the country has also formed a production system specifically to provide supporting equipment for the five small industries. It can be said that this is a unique state under the planned economy. However, in a special era, the five local small industries have solved many problems for the country.

"Let me test you. I have a gear drawing here. Take a look at it and tell me how to design the processing technology." The interviewer pushed a drawing in front of Feng Maoqiao and said to him.

Feng Damao took the drawing, looked at it carefully, and then started to talk! Forging, normalizing, rough turning, spline hole pulling. This man looks rustic, but he is really good at technology. The director of such a small enterprise is usually also the technical authority of the factory. If he doesn't have a few brushes in technology, he can't bear the blame of the public.

The technician followed Jiang Yan's instructions in advance, listening to the other party's answers and observing his expression. At the same time, he recorded his initial impression in a notebook: skilled, experienced in production, honest, and active in thinking...
