"One of the development directions for truck wheels is tubeless. But if we use vacuum tires, the cost will increase a lot. Not only that, but other aspects will increase as well." Yang Yong did not expect Li He to be so thorough, but he was helpless. "If the cost increases, it will be hard to sell. If we don't skimp on the cost, our products will not be any worse than those overseas."
"Don't brag." Li He said mercilessly, "I will believe you if you say this in another ten years. But right now, you are much worse. Let's not talk about operating costs, management costs, and procurement costs. Let me just talk about the assembly process. Compared to the big foreign factories, we are still miles away.
If you can catch up with the quality of others at the same price, I will change my surname to yours!
Don't think that you can compete with them just by saving on labor costs. It's good to be ambitious, but not arrogant. "
The assembly quality of a car was mainly reflected in the final assembly, which mainly relied on manual assembly with the help of machines. It was not easy to assemble tens of thousands of parts on the car.
The automobile assembly equipment in China was still in the development stage, and many automobile industries still had a bias in the automobile manufacturing industry. They focused on automobile production technology and ignored automobile assembly technology. Therefore, the energy and funds invested in automobile assembly were very limited, which led to a variety of problems in the automobile assembly process.
Therefore, Li He had to discourage Yang Yong from time to time. Sometimes, the gap was not the gap in technology.
"Yes." Yang Yong blushed, but he insisted. "We have the technical support of Gorky Power Institute and AMC Motors. Now there are many skilled workers from Latvia's Dartz Motors and Romania's Aro Motors. The assembly process is quite mature."
His biggest regret now was that AMC Motors was still owned by Italy's Omnitel Group, and even BAIC Jeep was under the control of that old man Benetti!
He could not intervene even if he wanted to. Although Dartz was under his management, Dartz's shares in BAIC Jeep were very limited.
"Now is not the time to hand it over to you." Li He certainly knew what Yang Yong was thinking. AMC's technical support for BMW was pitiful. Yang Yong purposely mentioned AMC just to get his attention. "You should clean up your own mess first. Biting off more than you can chew is not good for you.
You also know that there are so many foreign skilled workers in the factory, so have you used them to cultivate your own talent echelon?
I don't think so. When I looked at the information, there was a long list of foreigners' names, ranging from R&D engineers to technical workers. The biggest weakness of the enterprise is the unstable quality of the product. The main reason for the defect is that the level of proficiency is too low. We still need to speed up the training of our own talent team. We can't continue to rely on foreign workers. "
Skilled workers were one of the key resources and core driving forces for the development of manufacturing in the world.
This was especially true for the automotive industry, which required R&D engineers and skilled technical workers.
"Understood, I will definitely listen to your instructions." Yang Yong broke out in a cold sweat after being criticized by Li He. He didn't dare to continue to be stubborn because Second Brother Li's mouth was getting more and more merciless. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Li, if you don't want to test the car, go eat."
In fact, he had prepared a dinner party to celebrate the success of the trial production of the heavy truck. However, Li He's attitude made him too embarrassed to do anything superfluous.
"I don't even have to try to know how good this car is." Li He looked at the heavy truck that was constantly running in the field. "It's not like other cars. Let's talk about liberation. By the time you start, you can't even see the back of the car."
"This is a bit of a problem, but the difference is not too obvious." Yang Yong's little confidence was completely destroyed by Li He.
When he invited Li He over, he was full of confidence, even with the intention of asking for credit!
Who would have thought that Second Brother Li would be so picky?
"It has something to do with the torque. Of course, the tires have a problem too. The tires don't have enough grip. A suitable tire is the key to ensure the effect of acceleration. This is because the tires are the ultimate embodiment of the engine's power output." Li He pointed out the key point.
Yang Yong could only nod his head in frustration. He was really beaten black and blue and did not know how to respond!
Now, he only cared about when the dinner would be served!
Second Brother Li, are you hungry or not?!
"Let's go eat." Li He finally said what everyone had been waiting for.
Then, Yang Yong hurriedly led the way to get rid of the awkwardness in front of him!
In response to Li He's call to be diligent and thrifty, the dinner party was very simple. There were not many dishes and the wine was ordinary.
Yang Yong only found a few executives to accompany him, mainly because he was afraid that Li He would criticize him in front of so many people. So, he did not dare to find more people to accompany him. If there were too many people, he would not be able to get out of the embarrassing situation.
Even those who came to accompany him were his subordinates who were familiar with him.
"In less than 10 years, China's automobile market will wake up all the participants in the automobile industry. China's automobile market will soon start to gradually move away from the seller's market and will start to move towards the buyer's market step by step.
Do you think entering the WTO is a joke?
China's entry into the WTO is inevitable. China is such a big market with a population of nearly 1.2 billion consumers. It is almost impossible for foreign brands not to enter.
Everyone must have a sense of crisis. Don't hold the mentality of luck. Otherwise, you will not know how you die. " There were some words that Li He would not feel comfortable if he did not say it. It was the same at the dinner table. "When I said independent innovation, I was not joking. I did not say it in the past because in order for a company to achieve true independent innovation, it must go through a process. First, it must have the ability of independent research and development and production. Then, it must have the ability of independent certification. The goal is to cultivate an independent innovation brand. Only by going through this series of processes can it be considered independent innovation.
At present, we already have a certain amount of intellectual property rights. We can think of ways to expand our core competitiveness. There is no future in replicating the exterior and interior of imported cars with rough workmanship and outdated after-sales service. "
Everyone silently nodded in agreement, no one uttering a single word.
"The people of China must have a long-term vision. We can leap over the traditional automobile industry and gradually lead the Western automobile industry in the future. We must have this courage and not belittle ourselves. We can do what the Westerners can do …"
"The hardships that everyone has put in are hard to imagine, but I have seen it with my own eyes.
None of you complained about the hardships, tiredness, or pain. When you fell, you got up and continued walking. I am very impressed. I am also sincerely grateful to everyone.
As a private automobile manufacturer in China, we need to be responsible. Not only do we have to work hard, but we also have to do a good job so that the world can see the progress of our national automobile industry. " Li He did not pour cold water on everyone in the end. He stood up and raised his glass. "I hope everyone can work together to revitalize China's automobile industry and become the pride of our national industry!"
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
“.....”
The others also stood up and raised their glasses with Li He.
