After the personnel department's work arrangements were completed, Xu Yifan continued: "That's about it for today. Next, the production department workers will stay for a while, and everyone can go back to work."
The meeting did not last long, only a few minutes, but Xu Yifan had already arranged the next work, and then it was up to the personnel department.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the work must be done step by step.
The first task is to reorganize the factory so that it can work better next.
Even the department managers who participated in part of the meeting today may not meet each other in the future, and knowing too much about them will be of no use.
Xu Yifan is not the kind of person who likes to talk about things at length. If he has time, why not go back to the office after arranging work and have some fun!
Many managers left one after another, and in the end there was only one middle-aged man in his forties with a resolute face.
It is Zhou Fengyan who is in charge of the production department of the factory and is also the chief automotive engineer in the factory. He is a very serious and responsible person.
Xu Yifan handed the other party the printed information of Wuling Hongguang Mini and Lao Toule, and Xu Yifan said to him.
"This is a car I designed. Take a look at it, Zhou Gong. In the next period of time, our factory's main production target will be this car."
The middle-aged man took the information meticulously and immediately read it carefully.
Dozens of pages of printed PPT introduced each part of the vehicle in detail, including concept drawings of the vehicle's appearance, frame manufacturing materials, tire models, body length, width and height, wheelbase, wheelbase, ground clearance, and internal layout. Etc., etc.
You only need to add some details and you can make it completely!
The so-called expert will know if there is anything as soon as he makes a move. Although Jiuzhou Automobile Factory did not produce any good cars, Zhou Fengyan still had a keen eye.
Soon, Zhou Fengyan, who was carefully checking the information, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"This information is very complete. The chassis, suspension system, body size design, etc. are all very complete. It is a detailed automobile production information!"
"Here, boss, where did you find the design? This car is so beautiful!"
"But why does it not have an engine and use lead-acid batteries and permanent magnet synchronous motors? Is this still a car?"
Looking at this young man again, Zhou Fengyan no longer showed any contempt, only deep disbelief.
Xu Yifan smiled: "Since I am going to enter automobile manufacturing, of course I need to have a certain understanding of this industry. This is the work I spent two years in college."
Then he continued: "As for the lack of an engine and gearbox, it's because what I want to do is a new energy vehicle.
You know about new energy? BYD released a product a few months ago, BYD F3 New Energy, you can learn about it.
I think the future era will be the era of new energy vehicles, so I am prepared to enter this field in advance. "
Zhou Fengyan hesitated slightly: "New energy? How can a car not have an engine? If it uses electricity, what will happen if there is no power on the road?"
In today's era, cars are still running on the streets. In people's minds, only those with engines and gearboxes can be called cars.
Xu Yifan asked back: "When do you think our factory can make a profit if it continues to operate as before?"
"This..." As an employee of a factory that closed down twice, how could Zhou Fengyan not know the difficulties involved.
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Xu Yifan continued: "I have studied the automobile industry carefully, compared with those big automobile manufacturers, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, and even Hyundai.
We started too late. If we want to catch up with those companies in traditional gasoline vehicles, it may take more than ten or twenty years. At the same time, we will need to invest countless R&D funds. A small factory like ours will not be able to make it.
If we follow the previous R&D path, we will definitely end up going bankrupt again. "
"This car is called mini, and it is positioned as a happy car for old people. Do you know that it is happy for old people, right?"
"To put it simply, it is a car that is liked by some elderly people."
"Not everyone has the need for long-distance driving. Many people just need a car for urban commuting. They don't need to go very fast or very far.
It's enough that it's cheap, easy to drive, can protect you from wind and rain, and saves fuel.
Compared with two-wheeled electric cars, this car can protect against wind and rain, and the iron-clad meat is safer than an electric car.
Think about it, how much does it cost you to drive five kilometers to work every day? Only counting fuel costs, a ten-kilometer round trip every day costs five yuan.
But if you switch to electricity, it can cost as little as two cents per kilometer, which is 20 cents.
It may not seem like much, but when the time span becomes longer and the maintenance of the engine and gearbox is included, it will cost about 3,000 yuan a year.
As for us old men, if we calculate it at 20 cents per kilometer, it only costs more than 300 yuan, which is about one-tenth of the price of a traditional fuel vehicle. "
Zhou Fengyan interrupted and said: "No, if our car uses lead-acid batteries, it will need to be replaced in one or two years, and the cost will not be cheap. When converted, it will not be more cost-effective than a car."
Xu Yifan nodded: "We can solve part of this problem. For example, the battery can be replaced for free within two years, which can solve some worries to a large extent.
In addition, the price of this car will be much lower than that of cars. For example, the minimum price is about 20,000, and you can buy a vehicle for urban transportation. Will anyone be tempted? "
"At the same time, I have to mention another advantage of Laotoule. It does not require a license, which is also its biggest advantage. It is one of the points that the elderly like..."
“Also, in rural areas where transportation is not very developed, charging cars are also very suitable for traveling to the market. There is no need to go to the city to refuel. As long as there is electricity at home, you can replenish energy. It is convenient for travel and can also attract people and goods. "
“The real role of a car is not on the track, not on comparisons, or as a toy for a small group of people, but that it can truly be used by thousands of households and bring convenience to everyone’s lives.”
"If we can't build a good traditional fuel car, then in addition to improving ourselves, we can also try to lower the definition of 'car'!"
After a series of words fell, Zhou Fengyan was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he took a deep look at the handsome young man and nodded in agreement.
"I know. I will complete the production process, cost accounting, production line debugging, etc. of this car as soon as possible, and then experimentally produce the product."
"As soon as possible, our factory needs a product that can achieve profitability, and the sooner the better.
If you complete all product manufacturing process plans and build a prototype car within half a month, you will be rewarded with 30,000 cash. If you complete it within one month, you will be rewarded with 10,000 cash. If it is completed within one month, there will be no reward. "
"I will try my best!" Zhou Fengyan replied.
Half a month may be a bit difficult, but with detailed drawing data, it is still possible to produce a prototype car in one month.
It was obvious that this middle-aged man was moved!
"Then I'll get ready."
"Go ahead, by the way, Zhou Gong, you will ask the free workers to clean the dormitory later, and adjust the original ten-person room to a four-person room.
Next, we will recruit a group of workers. Anyway, the dormitories are empty, so that everyone can live better. "
"Promise to complete the task!" Zhou Fengyan stood up, replied seriously, then turned and left the conference room.
As of the end of 2020, the number of electric vehicles in Daxia is about 4.92 million, and the number of low-speed electric vehicles has exceeded 10 million as early as 2019 statistics!
In 2012 and 2013, the most popular years for Laotoule's development, we made plans in advance and formulated standards to drive inferior Laotoule out of the market.
Let the old man drive a better electric car and be twice as happy!
