On the first day of June, a child's holiday, the Tancheng Automobile Factory's new electric 18k was taken off the production line.
The director of the Longshan High Energy Battery Application Development Center, Zheng Jianyi, and the deputy director, Zhang Chi. With Chen Weiqi and Chen Weikang, they ended the development phase of Fengtian Machinery's Gu Yi City Branch Factory's agricultural machinery products and entered the production phase of the electric agricultural machinery. After the update, the 18k basically maintained the original style, but it was more fashionable, more economical, and more acceptable to the people. The 18k added 10,000 yuan to the installation of a hidden roof solar receiver panel, which could be parked under the hot sun for a day. It could charge a set of empty 100ah batteries to 30%. Combined with the wind power charging device, it completely liberated the charger and became the first vehicle in the city to completely bid farewell to traditional energy sources. The 18k became famous for a while. Each car was priced from 40,000 to 56,000 yuan without batteries, and the majority of customers were waiting for the car.
The day the 18k was taken off the production line was Sunday. Liu Yi came to the Tancheng Automobile Factory to participate in the ceremony. Tancheng's mayor, Zhang Zhihe, and his wife attended. This was the first time Zhang Zhihe's wife, Ms. Liang, participated in a corporate event. After she was transferred out of Gu Yi City, she was transferred to the Red River University of Technology Union. She was very low-key. Except for the Spring Festival activities, she did not participate in any other activities. This time, it was rare to be able to take the initiative to participate in the Tancheng Automobile Factory's new car offline.
Some of the old shareholders of the Tancheng Automobile Factory were envious of the factory's revival. They planned to take advantage of the new car offline to make some trouble and profit from the burning house. When they saw the mayor coming to suppress the scene, they did not dare to act rashly for a while. When they saw the relationship between the Mayor's wife, Madam Liang, and the new CEO of the car factory, Liu Yi, they immediately retreated. This Liu Yi was not an ordinary person, and they could not afford to offend her. If they dared to offend her, they might not even be able to hide.
Huang Qicheng had long heard that the old shareholders were going to cause trouble. Before this, he had told the news to Chen Weizheng. Chen Weizheng said that there was no problem. It was written in black and white, and no one could go back on their words. Huang Qicheng was still worried. After seeing the relationship between Liu Yi and the mayor's wife, he knew that his factory would only become more stable, develop faster, and become stronger.
As of June 1st, Red Water River had sold a million vans. All the workers in the factory were complaining and working overtime every day. They couldn't take it anymore. Some of the older workers said, "Every day, other than working, we get paid. We get annoyed and don't want to get paid anymore. We want to take a break. Otherwise, we'll become Chaplin in Modern Times. We'll become part of the machine." After the union's coordination, the van factory's monthly production plan was adjusted to 150,000 units starting from the first of June, and there was no need to work overtime.
There was no need to work overtime to supply batteries for Hongshui River anymore. The Longshan Battery Plant also welcomed its first holiday after the Qingming Festival. Zhang Dechun organized all the employees of the plant to go to Huanzhu City. Food, lodging, and transportation were all provided. VIP groups were not allowed to enter the stores, and there was a three-day trip to the beaches of Hainan Island. The women in the factory who had never been out before were so happy that they couldn't sleep the first night. On the second day, they vomited the entire journey on the bus. Three of them were drunk when the sea breeze blew, and five of them were allergic to seafood. Eight of them were seasick when fishing on the fishing boat, and 100 of them were drowned in salty water when surfing. They couldn't poop in the toilet, and the central air conditioner couldn't blow out wind. They didn't dare to expose their legs when soaking in water. Freshwater showers were more expensive than oil showers. In the end, the travel agency's bus went back to Gu Yi City to pick them up. The people in the factory took the train back to Gu Yi City. On the train, everyone talked about their experiences with relish. It could be said that they had seen the wind and waves of the sea and been soaked in salty water. It was a new experience!
Starting from June, the daily production of 100ah batteries was adjusted to 60,000 units. The daily production of 250ah batteries was adjusted to 3,500 units. The daily production of 500ah batteries was still 2,000 units. A five-day work week was restored.
In order to fulfill the orders made at the beginning of the year, Fenglin Factory worked non-stop. However, they still couldn't produce 38,000 units for the National League in Nanjiang Province. They could only delay until the end of March. On May Day, they could only produce 25,000 units for the National League in Hongdu. Fortunately, there was a Jinling Factory in Hongdu Province, so the people didn't go crazy over the electric scooters. Currently, the National League in Nancheng City had received orders for 50,000 units. On July 1st, the National League in Bamin Province would only be able to provide 10,000 units at most. The National League considered lowering the order by increasing the price, but it still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the people. As for Wind in the Sky, they produced 15,000 units a month. There was basically no inventory, and all of them were sold out in the factory. There were even orders for those on the production line. The sales manager smiled from January 1st to June 1st, and was also busy until June 1st. Fortunately, the 18K electric scooter came off the production line on June 1st. The production capacity of 30,000 units a month reduced the pressure on the Wind in the Sky's market. However, the 18K was mainly supplied to the north of the Yangtze River, and there was still no guarantee for the south.
The Xiongguan mini SUV came off the production line on May 1st, and there was a craze for mini cars in the north. Among them, the high-end high-end cars sold the best. The normal models had the front drive, while the high-end models had the two rear wheels and the hub motor. One could choose a four-wheel-drive model. In the past few years of heavy snow, the north was very enthusiastic about four-wheel-drive cars. They were even more enthusiastic about four-wheel-drive electric scooters that cost less than 100,000 yuan. The monthly sales were about 10,000 units, and Ma Guoliang was very satisfied. The electric SUV was a seven-seater MPV with a price of 290,000 yuan. It was impeccable in terms of appearance and performance. The monthly sales were stable at 6,000 to 8,000 units. Sun Deke's brows furrowed in delight.
Longshan Automobile Factory pursued slow and delicate work this time. Two production lines were installed at the end of May, and they were now in trial production. One of the production lines was the electric version of Renault's Longshan Yunlong in China. The other production line was the electric version of the Xiongguan, renamed Knight. Chen Weizheng's Xiongguan, which had been operating for two months, finally had a standard name: Longshan Knight.
At the joint military exercise held at the end of April, the open-top version of the Longshan Knight shone brightly. Ten modified Longshan Knights became Ye Fengchun's secret weapon. Zheng Jianyi completely strengthened the chassis of the ten military version of the Longshan Knight, and used the world's most advanced chassis system regardless of the cost. The wheel hubs were expanded to 24 inch steel hubs, and the tires were a new type of solid tire with super long teeth that would never be inflated. The brake hubs were also enlarged to increase the braking performance. The spare tire was removed. (Originally, it was also the case. I've never heard of a solid tire having a spare tire.) The original spare tire was strengthened and became a missile launcher for arrows. The car could seat three people, and 50 missiles could be placed at the same time. After charging it once, it could cruise for 1,500 kilometers.
Chen Weiqi and Chen Weikang modified the automatic ceiling. The car retained the original roof, but about 10 centimeters above the front windscreen and side door were cut open to install guide rails and fastening devices. The back door was changed to a lower opening type, and had the function of storing a movable ceiling. The ceiling was in the shape of a louver, connected by extremely thin 10-centimeter steel blocks. When the electric switch was turned on, the steel blocks rose along the rails. When they reached the front windscreen, the layering automatically rose and fixed the plastic blocks. It was airtight and light-tight. From the outside, it looked like a hardtop car.
It was this bewitching ceiling that had caused the other military regions to suffer greatly. The ten Knight cruised in the area. As long as the opponent's aircraft appeared, it would be within their attack range. Before the opponent could react, the referee department would have already determined that the opponent had been shot down. And there was no air defense in this place.
After more than ten days of military exercise, the Longshan Knight became the target of the major military regions. The equipment department reviewed the cost of the car, and the result was 700,000 yuan per car. The Longshan Factory quoted 610,000 yuan per car, and the equipment department requested that the Longshan Factory provide 50,000 cars per year at the price of 610,000 yuan. The payment would be settled every time the car was picked up.
Old Master Li of the Zhengtu Factory's Poison Dragon car was not chosen by the military, which made Old Master Li very unhappy. The main reason was that it was too ostentatious and focused too much on the passing rate. As a result, the interior space was too small and the driving comfort was poor. However, the Poison Dragon car's powerful passing ability was chosen by the desert countries in North Africa, and they ordered it on a large scale.
The Jinling Factory's assembly line was all moved to the industrial park. On March 1st, Jinling's new three-compartment high-end business car, the Milky Way, was released. The market retail price was 650,000 yuan, which became the highest domestic car price. Just when everyone was worried about the market sales of the car, there was news that Australia wanted 2,500 cars for government use. The country was prepared to replace all government cars with the Jinling Milky Way in the next three years. At the same time, several countries in Northern Europe were also preparing to use the Jinling Milky Way as a government car. Zhou Hengdong said, "This car is still a bit expensive for domestic official use. The country accepts around 300,000 yuan for official use. This is their direction." In the near future, they would launch an official car tailor-made for a large number of government agencies. It was called Shengshi, and the price was set at 300,000 yuan.
On May 1st, General Manager Li of Zhenghua Factory did something that could be called a pioneering thing. After TX1 went offline, he held a large-scale investment promotion event in Nancheng. He sent out invitations to many large taxi companies in the country, asking them to come and see and order. Although the TX1's appearance was unusual, it had an irreplaceable advantage as a taxi. Especially the idea of bringing the battery home to charge was very appreciated by the major taxi companies. The market price of the TX1 with only a set of 100ah batteries was 130,000 yuan. The price was also satisfactory to the major taxi companies. The drivers could buy the batteries separately, which could also reduce the company's investment. The major taxi companies placed orders one after another. The number of orders was as high as 70,000 units in one day, and they were all delivered on July 1st. Looking at so many orders, General Manager Li Weili felt like crying. 70,000 units, that was half a year's production!
No matter how others developed, the most satisfied was the Motor General Factory of Gu Yi City Motor Co., Ltd. No matter how much others sold, most of the motors were provided by him. From the small motors of Wind in the Sky to the big motors of Poison Dragon, they were all provided by him. Just the motors of Hongshui River alone kept the whole factory busy from before New Year's Day until today. After studying the motors of Xichuan and Jinling, recently, a wheel hub motor that was slightly less powerful than the Jinling Factory's Milky Way was installed in the new car, Shengshi, which was newly launched by the Jinling Factory. A motor that was developed from Xichuan Electric was equipped with Longshan Factory's Knight and Xiongguan Factory's MPV.
The most noteworthy was the two factories of Fengtian Machinery in the North and South. Under the leadership of the two brothers, Ma Yaoguang and Ma Yaohui, they launched a full series of more than 40 types of electric agricultural machines. For this reason, the main leader of the Ministry of Agriculture went to Fengtian for an inspection and included all the products of Fengtian Machinery in the agricultural support project. The leader of the Ministry of Agriculture said that the Ministry of Agriculture would pay for the electric agricultural machines used by farmers, and each household was limited to one 250Ah battery. The battery subsidy was 60%, which was unprecedented. So far, both production and sales were booming.
Chen Weizheng found a big problem. He didn't know how much money he had, nor did he know how much debt he owed outside. He also didn't know whether he was earning or losing money.
When he told this to Ou Jie, Ou Jie laughed and said, "Then let's set up another finance company. Anyway, there was already someone to be the general manager. "
Chen Weizheng asked who it was, and Ou Jie said it was Wang Hongtao's wife, Zhang Xiaoxian.
