Extraordinary Genius

The chief designer was very satisfied when he arrived at the production workshop of agricultural machinery and saw the machines roaring and the workers were working on schedule. This company, it doesn't have those brainless welcome ceremonies, that's good.

“I hear your company's current farm machinery represents the most advanced level in the country? Has it even reached an international advanced level? ”

“Yes, we are currently doing this on tractors, sowing equipment, arable land equipment, etc., but there are still significant shortcomings on harvesters, plugs, etc., and we are trying to keep up with the world's footsteps.” Feng Yu replied cautiously.

The chief designer nodded satisfactorily, without self-humility or complacency, which was, to be honest, good.

The slogan that this company is wearing is also interesting, and technology is the number one productivity, and that's what he said. But the slogan behind him, "Be solid, don't sell your reputation; be fair and honest, don't curse your name behind you", he feels very fresh. It's a reminder to those cadres to step on the ground.

When Zhu Tie saw this slogan, he couldn't help but nodded, as our cadre should be.

The chief designer stopped: “Are all these slogans fresh? ”

Li Mingde answered aloud: "All of these must be remembered and adhered to firmly by all of us in our company, and the D-member model should take the lead! ”

“Aren't you private companies now? And Branch D?” The chief designer asked curiously. He has learned that many private enterprises are reluctant to retain these sectors, especially Hong Kong capital and foreign-funded enterprises.

“We are a joint venture, and the company has a lot of D-men, so we keep Branch D, and in fact the biggest division of our company is the union. There is a clause in the union statute that if more than two-thirds of the workers consider me unqualified, I will be dismissed by the shareholders' meeting!” Li Mingde explained.

“Can the union dismiss the general manager? That's fresh. Who came up with this? ”

“I think the GM should be the one who can serve the public and lead the workers to a better life. This is also a success story for many companies abroad, let's take a look.” If two thirds of the workers really want to dismiss the general manager, it means that the general manager really doesn't have much prestige and ability, so the dismissal can be dismissed, and he can't be dismissed as a major shareholder anyway.

Zhu Tie's wrist, standing next to the chief designer, looked at Feng Yu with interest. This young man, so young, actually made such a big career. Unfortunately, he still had a lot of ideas. He was afraid of the afterlife.

After inspecting the workshop, the chief designer went to the motorcycle plant with enthusiasm.

On this side, the chief designer saw a brand new motorcycle assembled, each one commissioned, at least two hands per car, and even scrutinized each screw properly. The worker worked diligently and carefully and he was satisfied.

“Your motorcycle production line was also introduced from the former Soviet Union? ”

“Yes, but with our improvements, it suits our country better. We also exported a little to Russia, and next year we plan to export motorcycles to Bao Island. ”

The chief designer was interested to ask, "Is our motorcycle better than Bao Island?” Treasure Island's motorcycles are growing much earlier than in the country.

“We are indeed better than Bao Island in terms of shock absorption, lighting, appearance, etc., but we are also leading Bao Island in terms of fuel saving, lightness, etc., and we are also developing small quantities of light motorcycles.” Feng Yu explained.

“Well, not bad, not bad.” Nod to the satisfaction of the chief designer.

He didn't say anything good about it.

After an inspection at the motorcycle factory, the chief designer went to the automobile factory again.

The provincial leadership and accompanying personnel persuaded him that it was too early to take a break and watch in the afternoon.

But the chief designer waved firmly: "It's okay, I want to see what kind of car we've built in Huaxia, the largest private car manufacturer! ”

The provincial leaders were pleased to see the chief designer so insistent. In the beginning, let the city give some policies, help run the approval, settle down the car project, seems to be the right thing to do!

“Feng, get in our car and squeeze.” The chief designer waved at Feng Yu.

Sitting with the chief designer?

In the car, Feng Yu walked in the middle of the back row, put his hands in the middle of his legs, shrunk his bladder, afraid to squeeze into the chief designer. Well, it seems like it's not a good idea to squeeze into Province 1.

“Feng, a while ago, I saw an article in the People's Daily that said that joining a joint venture car was a drink to quench thirst. What do you think of that? ”

The sweat on Feng Yu's head came down.

Where do I know that pen writer, I'll write that down too. JV, but the chief designer proposed a solution to Huaxia's automotive industry backwardness. But this method was rejected by the article, not even criticized!

This designer isn't looking for me after the fall, is he?

But it's not right. If it's after the fall, why come to the mechanical company to inspect? I should really like to hear what I have to say.

“Many of the points in that article were made by me. If it was in previous years, then JV seemed to be the fastest way to upgrade our automotive industry technology, and everyone would go this way, but it was helpless, in fact, JV was more bad than profitable! A car, why the selling price is so different from the cost, the most valuable of which is the technology. Our country has a lot of industrial talent, but because of our low starting point and tight financial resources, it is very difficult for us to grow rapidly. With joint ventures, we can get the technology we don't have the fastest, but it's been too long, and long after that, our technology will still lag behind the developed countries of the West, behind the island countries. ”

“As far as I know, Toyota has established two technology R&D centers in our country, but none of them are core technologies. Apparently, it is technical assistance to us, but it is in fact the use of the low salaries of our technicians to do some ancillary research for them. And have you really developed some talent yet? Yes, but what about the talent? Resigned and went to work in the island to earn good money, right? ”

“One of the biggest problems with joint ventures is the issue of brands. Why do foreign manufacturers insist on using their brands in joint ventures and even give up some of their profits? Just because, in more than a decade or two, brands will reach our country's hearts and minds, even if we don't continue to work together, they have successfully entered our Huaxia market. So we have to keep our brands and try to be big. ”

“Our mechanical company, at a high price, brought in automotive industry experts from Russia, Germany, etc., and also trained the company's own technical talent. Only in this way can we avoid being monopolized by developed countries, and only technologies that are being introduced at high prices are about to be eliminated by others, because our countries have better technologies themselves. ”

“Are you saying that your technology is better than the one they introduced in FAW and FAW? ”

“In some respects, it's better, in some respects, almost, but at no point are we worse off than those JV's! And the national enabling policies, those joint ventures, are much better than we are. The reason we Ice City Machinery Company want to get on the horse car project is that we don't want to one day, the land in our country is run by foreign brands, and our country's own brands disappear! ”

The chief designer closed his eyes and leaned against the seat. Think back to what Feng Yu said and the article he saw.

This path of joint venture does not seem to go on forever. Those who also want joint ventures, it's time to wake them up. Why does a private enterprise make good cars, and they have so much money invested by the state that they are still technologically lagging behind?

Is it about the technicians or the leaders? Although Feng Yu's consideration of the problem is not comprehensive enough, there are many aspects involved, and Feng Yu doesn't understand it, but there are some parts of Feng Yu that make a lot of sense. For example, the brand, it seems that we should go back and study it carefully. Huaxia's automotive industry, how to go in the future.

“Chief ~ Long, the automobile factory has arrived.” Front-line staff turned back.

“Get out and see what's going on with the Songjiang car! ”
