"If this goes on, Pengyun Automobile will find it difficult to move forward. Now that the supply chain is broken, the capital chain is also stretched." Jiang Xunmei said worriedly, "What do you think of the company's reform plan?"
Pengyun Automobile's management had already submitted the reform plan to the head office. If Lu Zixin approved it, it would immediately be implemented.
The content was very simple. They would "redesign" the existing Pengyun Automobile and make adjustments to the relevant technology and components. The company's main focus would still be on new energy and autonomous vehicles, but the car performance would be reduced and they would enter the low-end car market.
"I've looked at it, part of it is feasible." Lu Zixin said.
"Part?"
"Yes." Lu Zixin did not beat around the bush and said directly, "In order to maintain Pengyun Automobile's normal operation, we can try to reduce the configuration and make a mid-range car series."
"But …" He changed the topic and said, "In the high-end series, we can't back down! And we have to do even better! "
Seeing Jiang Xunmei's somewhat difficult expression, Lu Zixin said with a smile, "I know, the supply of high-end components is a big problem. Since it is difficult to import and restricted, why don't we do it ourselves! "
"Do it ourselves?" Jiang Xunmei immediately said, "Pengyun Automobile already has car parts processing factories and partners, but the technology level is still far from the top international level."
"Then tell me, where is the difference?" Lu Zixin tested her.
Jiang Xunmei was already very familiar with this problem and said directly, "Design, precision, materials, these are the most important factors. In terms of mechanical design, Pengyun has the help of quantum computers and is gradually catching up with foreign countries. "
"In terms of component manufacturing materials, increasing the budget can still make up for it. However, the precision of the components is a real technological gap that is difficult to surmount. "
This was no longer a problem of the automobile manufacturing industry, but it involved the problem of China's weak basic industry.
The industrial products that seemed to be made in China had already gone to the world and become a synonym. But when it came to high-precision, high-strength, and high-standard industrial core components, they were all controlled by developed countries.
So every year, China had to spend a large amount of money to import these products to make up for its own shortcomings in industrial products.
"It is because it is difficult that we have to do it." Lu Zixin tapped on the virtual projection in front of him and sent a document to Jiang Xunmei's smart device.
"Machinery Manufacturing Factory?" Jiang Xunmei looked at the prefix of the information book and revealed a surprised expression.
"Too … too extravagant!" When she finished reading, she was even more incredulous. Originally, Jiang Xunmei thought that Lu Zixin meant to make Pengyun Automobile's own parts manufacturing factory.
This is not surprising. Large automobile manufacturers have their own parts factories, and some of them are among the top 500 in the world.
However, in this document, what she saw was that General Lu didn't want to make Peng Yun's auto parts factory. Instead, he wanted to make an even higher level of a parts factory — an industrial production equipment manufacturer!
Industrial production equipment, also known as working machines, such as lathes, milling machines, planers, drilling machines, boring machines, grinders, and the like, were the core of the mechanical manufacturing industry!
No matter how good the machinery and equipment, no matter how good the parts were, if they wanted to produce them, they would definitely need the machine tools and equipment to make them!
And this equipment was precisely the sensitive equipment and technology that the US, Japan, Europe, and other developed countries kept away from the outside world!
More importantly, other than making car parts, excellent working machines could also be used to make airplanes, ships, military, and so on. The significance of this was huge on a national strategic level!
Of course, everyone knew this was very important. The most important thing was, could it be made? There were so many industrial giants. Who didn't want to have such technology and equipment? If the technology was so easy to overcome, they would have made it a long time ago.
So, some domestic products could only settle for the second best, resulting in lower quality and performance than foreign products.
… …
Jiang Xunmei was not the only one who was surprised and doubtful. Hongxin's top management also expressed that it was "too difficult."
Many people suggested to Lu Zixin that this plan should be put on hold for now. The huge plan of maglev cars and maglev roads had not been officially implemented. Now, they suddenly had to make mechanical equipment, and it was extremely difficult.
No one knew how much money they would have to invest! Also, in terms of industrial foundation, Hongxin Group was not as strong as in the telecommunications industry.
But under Lu Zixin's "stubbornness," this plan still started to be implemented.
"This time, we really don't have much money to invest!" Su Zhirong told Lu Zixin some bad news. She said, "Pengyun Automobile Co., Ltd. has just been operating steadily for two months. Now that we've been hit this time, we have to rely on the head office's help for capital."
"In addition to the maglev smart road plan and research and development projects that you proposed, our investment in Pengyun Automobile Co., Ltd. has reached the highest proportion of all the subsidiaries. The other projects also require money. "
"So how much money do we have?" Lu Zixin asked directly.
"I calculated that we can allocate three billion in liquid funds for investment in the short term. Long-term investment depends on the company's performance. "Su Zhirong thoughtfully gave a solution.
"Three billion? That should be enough. "Lu Zixin muttered to himself. With the super industrial robot RI-8901 and the improved Dongfang Hao, the manufacturing of industrial machinery should not be a problem.
What they had to do was to combine their black technology with the current industrial level and "materialize" it. As long as there was a product that could be released, the subsequent funds would continue to be invested.
Therefore, RI-8901 and Dongfang Hao added a new project in Pengyun Machinery's research base. They developed a new type of working machine that was used to produce precision parts for cars. This was the beginning of Hongxin's manufacturing.
The research and development of the maglev car and the maglev smart road did not stop. Without the foreign parts supply, their team would temporarily have difficulty in mass production. For individual research and development, this was not a big problem.
When the domestic automobile industry was in a tense situation, Pengyun Automobile's first generation maglev car was finally developed under Dongfang Hao's leadership!
"Haha, Dad, you have to give me a big credit this time. You don't know how stupid those human experts were. They had to ask me about the theory and structure of a small problem. It's so annoying. "Dongfang Hao proudly asked Lu Zixin for credit.
"You did well this time." Lu Zixin praised. "But whether you get credit or not, I have to test the car first."
