The layoffs hit my aorta, and I started my own business, so you jump off the building?

Chapter 83 Is this the end? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is here too?
Chenxi Car Factory.

Su Chen called together all the executives and core R&D personnel of the car manufacturer for a meeting.

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone."

"I was not thoughtful enough to announce the time of the new car launch and the delivery time of the first batch of new cars directly on Weibo without consulting everyone."

"This has resulted in our car factory being in a passive situation now!"

Su Chen said sincerely.

In response to his apology, everyone at the car factory just smiled bitterly and shook their heads, without being overly critical.

After all, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Su Chen.

If it weren't for the issue with the army and the air force, perhaps thousands of Chenxi V1s would have been delivered by now.

Although the new factory has not been completed yet, it relies on the production capacity of the old factory.

The production capacity can reach hundreds of vehicles per month at least.

"Boss Su, I don't think you need to worry too much about this!"

"But this incident also reminds us that I think car manufacturers should set up an online public opinion department."

"The opinions of netizens are very important nowadays. The direction of the Internet can even determine the death of a company."

"Mr. Li is right!"

"Then who is willing to take the lead in establishing this department!"

Su Chen glanced around and asked.

Hearing this, a group of executives lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Everyone knows that the most difficult people to deal with in the world are netizens.

The combat effectiveness of their verbal attacks far exceeds that of the old men and women.

Who dares to provoke, who dares to deal with?
Seeing that no one spoke, Su Chen started to call out orders.

"Boss Li, thank you for your hard work!"

Mr. Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, without saying much, which was considered as his tacit agreement.

Su Chen brought the topic back on track.

"Next, we still have to first ensure the supply of special steel and polymer glass for the Army and Air Force!"

"Before the new factory is put into operation, we can only supply them with the output of all our existing production lines."

“After the new factory is put into use, we will have an additional production line to mass-produce the Dawn V1!”

"We can even build a few new production lines to complete the mass production of Chenxi V1."

after all.

The old factory is only this big.

Currently, it can only accommodate three production lines for polymer glass and special steel.

Two are for the army, and one was originally used to produce spare parts for the Chenxi V1.

Now it has become, two are for the Army and one is for the Air Force.

Chenxi Automobile Factory does not even have a production line of its own.

"By the way, President Su!"

Hearing Su Chen mention this, Mr. Li suddenly interrupted.

"The investor asked me whether we should put some time on the site selection and renovation of our direct-operated stores."

"Once we determine the mass production quantity, we can move forward with them!"

Chenxi is preparing to do the same as Tesla.

Sales are conducted in the form of direct-operated stores.

We do not intend to adopt the dealer agency model with traditional car companies.

The collection and aggregation of various data on new energy vehicles is a very important task.

It can even determine the design direction of the next generation of new cars.

Direct-operated stores have greater guarantees for after-sales service.

So from the very beginning, Su Chen decided to adopt a direct sales model.

"This one……"

After hearing what Mr. Li said, Su Chen was speechless.

There are so many accidents happening now.

To be honest, Su Chen has no idea when mass production will be possible.

I really have no idea.

On the investor's side, once the direct-operated store has been renovated.

He can't provide the actual car.

Then what's the point of selling a car? "No, I'll ask Fang Dingguo if the navy wants our materials."

Su Chen said guiltily.

He is really scared now.

After the army comes, the air force comes.

The navy might be the next to come.

Su Chen was terrified when he thought of the navy.

A destroyer of the navy is often of the million-ton class.

Even if Su Chen was bald, he couldn't produce so much special steel.

If the Navy really wants him to supply special steel, he will never be able to build cars in his life.

Just change the name of the factory.

The Chenxi Automobile Factory was changed to the Chenxi Steel Factory.

His dream is to build cars, not to make steel.

"Let's wait and see. Let's focus on producing for military orders first!"

At the end of the meeting, Su Chen said helplessly.

------

A few days later.

Capital
Diplomatic Department, Administrative Vehicle Management Group.

Inside one of the offices.

Several people are discussing the ceremonial motorcade for the little prince from the Middle East who will visit next week.

China is a traditional great country and has maintained its image as a country of etiquette for 5,000 years.

When it comes to working with foreign guests, we will naturally not be careless.

In recent years, the Middle East has become closer to China, purchased a lot of military equipment and a large number of drones, and signed many cooperation contracts that are satisfactory to both sides.

This has led to a very harmonious relationship between the two sides, and the Chinese top leaders also attach great importance to etiquette reception.

For this level of reception vehicles, the "Red Flag Ceremonial Fleet" is usually deployed.

Of course, this Hongqi ceremonial car has nothing to do with the Hongqi car factory in Su Chen’s previous life.

Not even a business.

The country organized a special team to develop it specifically to welcome foreign guests and it is for internal use only.

but.

The previous generation of Hongqi limousine, which has not yet been remodeled, has reached the age when it needs a remodeling and replacement.

However, several designs have always been controversial, and some people even think that the appearance and temperament are not as good as the previous generation.

This also led to related matters being delayed again and again.

After all, changes to the appearance of the concierge fleet have far-reaching impacts.
So there were several design plans and we were arguing about them.

And the senior leaders above have never made a decision.

Just when several people in the office were still discussing.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door again.

"Director Sun, the department below has suddenly submitted a report about the changes to the ceremonial fleet. They think there is a very suitable civilian model to recommend. Please take a look at it first."

A young staff member came in to report.

Sun Zhigang, the director of the group, was stunned and his brows frowned instantly.

Isn't this nonsense?
How can a civilian car be used as a diplomatic welcoming vehicle?

Isn't this too frivolous?

of course.

The diplomatic department has also purchased some civilian brand cars, including many luxury cars from joint venture brands.

This is because some foreign leaders may have special requirements and specify that they want this brand of car.

However, the higher levels are still mainly based on the currently recognized "national cars", that is, the Hongqi models developed internally.

simply put.

For a fleet of this level, ordinary civilian models are completely unqualified, whether in terms of appearance, configuration, or safety.

Especially in terms of safety, which is of utmost importance, the starting point is to have bulletproof and explosion-proof levels.

The entire vehicle's glass and steel-aluminum body must be specially customized to meet the standards.

but.

When Sun Zhigang picked up the report and took a look, a light quickly appeared in his eyes.
