The Xiongguan Factory staff left satisfied.
Driving four Minis and one MPV, they were ready to return to Dongyan Province on a 2,700-kilometer journey.
After the delivery of the six-wheel drive, Fenglin Factory finally returned to its normal routine. General Manager Hu Guoping also moved from the workshop to the newly built office building. During this time, Hu Hai quickly laid out the layout of the factory, which occupied an area of 520 mu. The day after Xichuan Motors arrived, Hu Guoping and a few assistants carefully analyzed the gearbox structure of the Xiongguan MPV, as well as the feasibility of combining it with Xichuan Motors. They also created molds and cast the combined parts. At first, it was Hu Guoping and a few people working on it. Before they knew it, all the technicians of Fenglin Factory had gathered in the yard. Everyone expressed their opinions, discussed repeatedly, and even made models on the spot. This was the first time that Manager Sun of Xiongfeng Factory had the urge to poach them. Ma Guoliang said, "If you poach one or two technicians, they will be assimilated into your company. But if you poach a large group, you won't be able to poach them." It was better to learn from their strengths to make up for their weaknesses and slowly perfect it.
The perfect MPV! The modified MPV's weight was reduced by nearly 300kg. Since the exhaust pipe was removed, Hu Guoping added a set of 100kg additional beams to the chassis. He had listened to the opinion of a young technician, Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi believed that the 2.8m wheelbase would weaken the stability of the vehicle and reduce the torsion resistance of the frame. The reduction in weight would also cause the vehicle to float. In the past, electric scooters were lighter because of their heavy batteries. Now that the batteries were no longer a problem, there was no need to worry about a few hundred kilograms of weight. After all, this was a five-plus-two car, not a small one like the Fenglin Shang. There was no harm in looking at the Jinling Factory's MPV. Eight 500ah batteries cost as much as four Fenglin Shang. But compared to the 500,000 yuan price of the vehicle, this price was nothing.
The 100kg additional beams completely changed the driving experience of the Xiongguan MPV. The vehicle's overall stability and control were much better than the previous gasoline-powered vehicles. It was even comparable to the imported prototypes. The four 500ah batteries gave it a range of 2,000 kilometers.
This was a classic car. It wasn't expensive even if it cost 300,000 yuan.
Sun Degong and Xiongguan's group drove away with five mini cars and one MPV. They also took the 50 500ah batteries and 200 100ah batteries from Longshan battery and left the rest of the cars.
Ma Guoliang was also preparing to leave the next day. On the night before they left, Chen Weizheng, Ou Jie, and Zheng Jianyi had a serious talk with Ingwe, Ma Yaohui, and Ma Guoliang.
The location of the meeting was Zheng Jianyi's office in the High Energy Battery Application Development Center of the Longshan Battery Plant.
Walking into the conference room, the room was empty except for a simple conference table. There was not even a cup of water prepared. On the luxurious conference table, there was a thick piece of cardboard. On the cardboard, there was a large number of oil-fired agricultural machinery.
"Young people's offices are messy. They don't know how to tidy up!" This was Ma Guoliang's first thought.
Seeing that Chen Weizheng, Ou Jie, and Zheng Jianyi had no intention of tidying up, Ma Guoliang brought his son and daughter-in-law to sit down on the other side.
"Uncle Ma, we've been busy since we came to Gu Yi City. We haven't been able to accompany you properly. Please forgive us for neglecting you." Chen Weizheng said.
"Weizheng, this trip to Gu Yi City has been an eye-opener for me." Ma Guoliang said, "I went to your factory. Not only did I go to the battery factory, but I also went to the Fenglin Factory. These two factories are basically two construction sites and are both under construction. This way, not only can you produce batteries, but you can also produce cars at a rate of 20,000 per month. If all the infrastructure is completed, the Fenglin Factory will have no problem producing 30,000 cars per month. I have high hopes for you! "
"Uncle Ma, you flatter us!" Qu Jie said, "Although our speed is fast, there is also a feeling that we are overdoing it. We will gradually improve it in the future. Uncle Ma, you old revolutionaries and experienced veterans, please point it out more."
"I won't beat around the bush. I want to talk to you about something more substantial." Ma Guoliang said, "I've discussed with Xiongguan's General Manager Sun, and we have an idea. I've decided to invest in the Xiongguan Factory and hold 35% of the shares. My Fengtian Machinery Factory will take 75% of the area and renovate it. All the SUVs in the Xiongguan Mini City will be produced there. Sun Degong will invest in the Xiongguan Factory and hold 45% of the shares. The general manager will manage 9% of the shares, and the remaining 11% will be left. We have some ideas, but we don't know if it's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "We want to give the Longshan High Energy Battery Application Development Center 6% of the shares. We hope to get technical support from the center. Also, we want to learn from Hongshui River and give the Longshan Battery Plant 5% of the shares. We hope that the Longshan Battery Plant will support Xiongguan Electric just like Hongshui River."
Ou Jie was the General Manager of the Longshan Battery Plant and Zheng Jianyi was the General Manager of the Longshan High Energy Battery Application Development Center. Both of them felt that there was no problem and agreed.
Ma Guoliang was overjoyed and asked Ma Yaohui to find a way to get a bottle of wine.
Where would Ma Yaohui find wine in such a short time? However, Chen Weizheng had it. He went out for a minute and came back with a bottle of Maotai and seven or eight small wine glasses. Ma Guoliang snatched the bottle and said, "Weizheng, give this bottle to me. I'll give you one next time."
Chen Weizheng asked, "Uncle Ma, do you want to order something to go with the wine?"
Ma Guoliang was overjoyed and said, "Sure!"
Chen Weizheng went out and came back with a paper bag. He took out some shredded squid, beef, spicy chicken feet and gave Ingwe a bag of green tea and sunflower seeds. Ingwe shouted happily, "Brother Zheng, I want to drink." Chen Weizheng took out a can of coconut juice from the paper bag.
Ma Guoliang said, "Weizheng, good boy. You really have some good stuff!"
Everyone clinked glasses. Ingwe also followed suit and drank a sip of the coconut juice.
Ma Guoliang smacked his lips in satisfaction. It was not because of the good wine, but because he had found himself a big backer by giving away 11% of the shares.
"Uncle Ma, you took out 75% of Fengtian Machinery for the partnership. What about the remaining 25%?" Chen Weizheng asked.
"Leave a shelf for Fengtian Machinery. If the higher-ups ask about it, they will have something to say." Ma Guoliang said, "Why, Weizheng is interested in this 25%?"
"Yes!" Chen Weizheng replied with certainty.
"What do you want to do?" Ma Guoliang asked. He originally wanted to use the 75% to support the 25%. If there was something better, he had no reason not to do it.
"Produce small electric farm machinery." Chen Weizheng pointed at the table and said calmly.
Ma Guoliang stood up abruptly, and the chair behind him almost toppled over. As if out of nowhere, Ma Guoliang's mind had never been so clear. He hurriedly asked, "Weizheng, you mean to change all the small farm machinery on the table to batteries and use the Longshan battery to drive them?"
"Yes." Chen Weizheng replied with certainty.
"Is it okay?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"Okay." The one who answered was Zheng Jianyi. "Not only can it work, it's quite good. We understand that small agricultural machinery generally uses gasoline, and the cost is very high. Take a small water pump for example. It needs five liters of gasoline to work for half a day and four hours. Our 250Ah battery can basically meet the workload of four hours. The most advantageous thing is that one battery can be used for many small farm machinery. In other words, there can be many kinds of farm machinery at home, but only one battery is needed to solve the problem. Buying electric farm machinery is 30% cheaper than buying internal combustion farm machinery. "
"The most important thing is that in the future, the farm machinery does not need to pay road maintenance fees." Chen Weizheng said.
Hearing this, everyone laughed. In the thousands of years of the Celestial Empire, the farmers were always spendthrifts. Many interesting policies were built on the basis of sacrificing the farmers' interests.
"Then if other machinery factories also produce farm machinery that is suitable to use the Longshan battery, then wouldn't they not have to worry about the problem of power and directly use our batteries?" Ma Yaohui asked.
"As long as the products they produce are beneficial to the farmers, can reduce the farmers' labor intensity, and can also increase the farmers' productivity, they will be welcomed by the farmers. We will very much welcome their products and use the Longshan battery. I don't care if other factories take advantage of us. I only care if the farmers can take advantage of us. "Chen Weizheng said.
"Weizheng, you are a saint!" Ma Guoliang praised.
"Uncle Ma, I am a farmer!" Chen Weizheng said.
"Weizheng, although I have a way to prevent other machines from using our Longshan battery, after hearing what you said, I have dismissed the idea. I admit that I was too narrow-minded! "Zheng Jianyi said.
"We are a large agricultural country. As long as it is beneficial to the farmers, I will do it. Of course, I don't cultivate lazy people, and I don't advocate for poverty alleviation. It is okay to occasionally help the needy, but to let those who specialize in poverty alleviation take advantage of loopholes is the government's work. It is not my hobby." Chen Weizheng said, "Electric farm machinery probably won't have a high profit margin. Whether or not we will do it is still up to everyone to discuss."
"It is necessary to do it." Ma Guoliang said, "Right now, we are just thinking about how to do it."
"I have three plans." Ou Jie said, "First, in Fengtian, Fengtian Machinery Factory will use its own equipment to produce. Second, in Gu Yi City, we will set up a Fengtian Machinery branch factory in Gu Yi City. It will specialize in small scale electric farm machinery. The main factory in Fengtian will continue with its original development. It is fine to put on airs and show off. Third, in both the north and the south, we will set up a Fengtian Machinery branch factory in Gu Yi City. The main factory in Fengtian will produce small scale electric farm machinery suitable for the northern villages, while the branch factory in Gu Yi City will produce small scale electric farm machinery suitable for the southern villages. "
"I agree with the third plan. With the original equipment and skilled workers in my factory, we can open two more branches. "Ma Guoliang said.
"I propose that Yaohui be the general manager of the Gu Yi City branch factory." Ou Jie said.
"Yaohui?" Ma Guoliang said, "Can he do it?"
"Yaohui is older than me by a year. I can be the general manager of the Longshan Battery Plant. Do you think he can do it?" Ou Jie said.
"Ingwe will be in charge of the money. The finance director is my sister. I can trust her." Chen Weizheng said.
"I will provide the land. The circulating funds will be given to Ou Jie. Old Zheng will be in charge of the technology development. Uncle Ma will be in charge of the equipment and personnel. Yaohui will be in charge of the overall management." Chen Weizheng directly pointed out the areas that each person was in charge of.
"Share distribution: 200 mu of land, 10%. Circulating funds of 50 million, 35%. Technology development: 10%. Equipment and factory: 30%. General manager's share distribution authority: 5%. The remaining 10% will be the company's profit. " Ma Yaohui casually calculated and reported a number. Ma Guoliang looked at his son in surprise. He realized that his son was not as useless as he thought.
Ma Yaohui and Ingwe left the battery factory under everyone's puzzled gazes. Because of this, Ingwe's father felt that he had let Chen Weizheng down and apologized to Chen Weizheng several times. Chen Weizheng did not know how to explain things. He could only say that it did not matter and try his best to ease Uncle Bao Hai's worries. In less than a month, Fengtian Machinery's Gu Yi City Electric Agricultural Machinery Factory was established in Hua Qiao Town. The general manager was Ma Yaohui. Everyone knew that this brat had other prospects.
