Extraordinary Genius

Li Mingde came to Beijing this time to receive the prize. But this time it's not the prize on the car, it's not farm machinery, it's the motorcycle.

Although Huaxia's automotive industry has grown faster than in previous generations, there are even cheap cars like Pokémon.

But the sales of motorcycles are far worse than those of motorcycles.

In '06, Huaxia's motorcycle production and sales surpassed 20 million, making it the world's number one. Of these, Songjiang motorcycles are still the market owners, with over 4 million units produced and sold.

The second-largest brand produces and sells just over a million dollars, with a clear gap.

How red is the motorcycle industry at this time? As can be seen from the manufacturers of motorcycles, there are over a hundred.

Though many people in the city have cars, the sales of motorcycles continue unabated. Many people like to ride motorcycles, like heavy motorcycles, road races, etc.

Motorcycles are also the most important means of transport in large rural areas, especially in poorly transported areas. The market today is slowly moving from urban to rural areas.

One of the best sellers of Songjiang motorcycles is off-road motorcycles, which are very popular thanks to their strong off-road performance.

And many motorcycle brands are exported abroad and sold as far away as Europe. Not only Songjiang, but also many national product brands and joint venture brands.

Motorcycle sales have grown very rapidly in both years and there has been some controversy within Iceland Mechanical Manufacturing Group, with the view being expressed that motorcycle capacity should continue to expand and that it is clear that motorcycle sales have grown exponentially, which is a good opportunity to make money.

It has also been argued that motorcycle outbursts have grown to the end and will gradually decline. In the future, people will be rich. They must be buying cars. Who still rides motorcycles? It's so bad when it rains.

No one can persuade anyone to quarrel over this. Li Mingde, Li Dafu and others don't know how to make a decision.

So this time Li Mingde went to Beijing to receive the prize, so he came to Feng Yu to report his work, and also asked about the plan.

“Lee, I know the growth of motorcycles has been very strong over the past few years, but our output has not kept pace with the growth of the market. Market share has declined considerably. Does the company think we made the wrong choice?” Feng Yu asked with a smile.

Originally, Feng Yu demanded to get on the horse electric car project. After the motorcycle production line was updated once, it was not expanded. Instead, it sold some of the old production lines, which made it cheaper for competitors.

“That's not true, electric car projects are more profitable and less competitive than motorcycles. Though it looks like a bit of a loss right now, electric cars don't have exhaust emissions and will definitely sell better in the future.” Li Mingde said quickly.

“Lee, you will soon know that the sales of motorcycles are seriously affected. We had a lot of news last year about the environment and the air. You know that, right? ”

“So cities with large populations have begun to build public transport, such as subways and light trains, and even buses are more popular than before. This would make it easier for residents to travel, save energy and reduce emissions. ”

“Automobiles, big volumes of cars, higher taxes, right? The same goes for motorcycles. Doesn't it say that motorcycles over a certain amount are going to be banned? ”

All motorcycle manufacturers were notified that motorcycles with more than 250 CC emissions were banned from production, resulting in losses for many manufacturers studying large volumes of motorcycles. How much would it cost to develop an engine alone?

Fortunately, Ice City Machinery developed large volumes earlier, and R&D costs have been recovered. Not to mention, this engine can still be used on three-wheeled motorcycles. This is not restricted.

“Chief Feng, do you mean, motorcycle sales are going down?” Lee is a little surprised, isn't it?

They thought that sales growth would slow down, but they didn't think about falling sales.

“Lee, have you thought about what most people's motorcycles do now? ”

“First, self-use, like road races, Land Cruisers, and the most traditional streetcars. Second, operations, like three-wheeled motorcycle freight, and motorcycles. ”

Mo's is an emerging industry, cheaper than taxis, and often shortcuts, especially in economically underdeveloped areas, are common.

Motorcycles also have two and three wheels, the cheapest and the lowest cost of two wheels, a lot of people are doing this, as long as they can ride a motorcycle.

“Mo's news of the events of all these years has not gone unnoticed. Not just two rounds, but three rounds as well. And most of them don't have operating licences, they don't even have a driver's license, and not paying taxes is on the other hand, something goes wrong, nobody can find it. ”

“And a lot of Mo's red lights, copying roads, are very much affecting traffic safety, and every year the handover department receives complaints because of this, it's also an astronomical number. ”

“So did you ever think that Mo would be banned? ”

The boss has always said to ban Mo, ask each place to handle it themselves. But it's not very strong, and in many areas, there's a real need for this kind of transportation, their kind of towns, where do they get taxis?

However, as the economy grows faster, coupled with more accidents in Momo, and environmental reasons, it is intended that Momo should be strictly prohibited.

Of course, it's not going to kill a stick, but it's going down a little bit from one, two, three tier cities, gradually cancelling.

Li Mingde heard Feng Yu say this and asked him back: "If Motor's is banned, shouldn't the sales of motorcycles increase? You need more people? ”

Feng Yu shook his head with a smile: "You think the motorcycles in those cities are banned, what will happen to those motorcycles? ”

Li Mingde thought about it and asked, "Got sold in the countryside? ”

“Yes, many of them depend on Moto for their livelihoods, and if they are not allowed to do this, many will sell motorcycles. The city will certainly not be able to digest so much, so it will be sold to a rural market in the county. Those markets are mostly price-poor, people are saving, you sell 5,000 dollars for new motorcycles and 2,000 dollars for old ones. It's just a step in the way. Do you think many of them would choose second-hand? ”

“What if, at this time, some of the main roads also forbid motorcycles to go on the road? ”

Beginning this year, some cities will impose no-flight orders prohibiting motorcycles from driving on main roads and will only be able to follow secondary roads. This will again affect the sale of motorcycles.

Fortunately, Feng Yu has already prepared for this.
