Xichuan Automobile Factory, inside the automobile research and development laboratory.
More than a dozen engineers were carefully studying the various structures of two Jiuzhou minis.
Both Kyushu minis have been dismantled into pieces. One has become a pile of parts, while the other has its body and chassis separated.
A group of people carefully studied the models of various parts and made registration records of the functions of the parts.
Wei Xiaojun, the director of Xichuan Automobile Factory, was also nearby at this time, watching many researchers dismantling and reverse developing the two Kyushu minis.
I was so engrossed in this big thing in the factory that I completely forgot about making an appointment. I can’t help it, I don’t usually do it a few times a year!
For a car company that has just started, this kind of 'research and development' is normal, especially when these companies have not yet found a model that can provide a steady stream of funds for their factory brand, they are keeping an eye on the market and seeing where there is one. Go up and study it if you get the chance!
Wei Xiaojun, the factory director, is also very confident about the Jiuzhou mini low-speed electric vehicle that was dismantled and developed this time.
There has never been a car that fits the current Nishikawa Automobile Factory so well, and the market also has the Kyushu Mini, a model from the previous Kyushu Automobile Factory, which proves that it has huge potential!
After disassembly and observation, it was found that various technologies are not particularly difficult to copy. Even the battery motor controller of the powertrain is actually a mature solution, which is most common in those two-wheeled electric vehicles!
There are no difficulties with the engine and gearbox, and the battery motor controller of the same style can be purchased, laying a good foundation for the imitation and manufacturing of this Jiuzhou mini electric car.
In terms of appearance, although the appearance patent has been registered, it is not impossible to make slight changes. If the control is strict, make more changes, or imitate other similar vehicles and piece together and modify the dimensional data. It is completely feasible!
While observing the work of many engineers, Wei Xiaojun chatted with the engineers around him from time to time.
"This car may become our factory's first hit model. Everyone, please work hard and come up with our factory's own production plan as soon as possible!"
The engineers said with confidence:
"Factory director, don't worry, it will definitely be completed in less than two months!"
"After carefully dismantling this car, we found that it does not have much technical content, and the parts used are not particularly difficult. Most of the parts are purchased from supporting factories. When the time comes, we can also purchase them directly. accessories.”
"The appearance design is remarkable, but we can use it directly with slight modifications!"
"I didn't expect that so many people like this kind of small vehicle. I had never paid attention to it before. I thought everyone liked the big vehicle. The bigger the better."
The engineers started chatting, and Wei Xiaojun also joined in.
"Who says it's not? You haven't done any on-site research. My dear, this vehicle has been sold out in Jiangzhou City!"
"In just a few months, we have sold thousands of units, and the annual sales easily exceed tens of thousands of units. Many consumers who want to buy a car have to book it in advance!"
"Such a hot scene has only been seen on joint venture cars. Who would have thought that such an unlicensed car actually needs to be booked."
"Both of my two cars are second-hand cars that I bought from other people. They cost me an extra 10,000 yuan!"
"As long as we have similar products, we will be able to sell them very quickly. Jiangzhou City is just a small place. We are the provincial capital here. In comparison, there are more wealthy elderly people!"
"And I also visited the factory in Jiangzhou City. The production capacity is already full. There is no way to increase production capacity in a short time. Taking advantage of this time, we can capture the market of the entire provincial capital city and use more production capacity. Eat up all the markets in other cities in the province.
At that time, if Jiuzhou Auto wants the market, it will have to compete with us. They will all have similar cars, so I will have the advantage! "
Wei Xiaojun enthusiastically praised Jiuzhou Mini, and then said to many engineers.
"Speed up, speed up, the earlier the better, everyone will work overtime until ten o'clock today and work hard for the future of the factory. The factory will not treat everyone badly!"
"Okay, okay..." A group of engineers responded enthusiastically, but their hand movements were a little slower.
I have to work overtime again today, although I had already expected it after working overtime in the past few days.
But when I heard the news was confirmed, it was inevitable that I would feel a little passive.
As for what kind of factory will not treat everyone badly, I have eaten enough cakes, just listen to a joke!
The factory director Wei Xiaojun, who did not know much about technology, did not notice that there was anything wrong with everyone's working mood, and still wandered around watching everyone's work.
It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Wei Xiaojun left the R&D laboratory with satisfaction.
Humming a little tune, Wei Xiaojun walked slowly towards his office, tidying up and getting ready for dinner!
In the cheerful tune, the bright future seemed to be waving to him. In his imagination, with this low-speed electric model, Xichuan Automobile Manufacturing Plant would have a steady source of funds and make a lot of money by then. , the factory will be opened larger, and perhaps it can be expanded to other provinces to sell!
However, when he walked to the floor where his office was located, Wei Xiaojun saw from a distance that two young people were sitting on the rest chair next to his office.
They are all in their twenties, thirty-four years old, a woman wearing a professional suit, a smart and dry look, and a delicate and beautiful face.
Another young man is much more casual, wearing a brand-name sportswear, a sunny and cheerful boy!
"You two, who are you looking for?" Wei Xiaojun asked curiously after approaching.
Xu Yifan stood up and stretched out his hand: "Are you the director of Xichuan Automobile Factory?"
Wei Xiaojun nodded, reached out and shook hands with the other person: "Yes, what's the matter?"
After confirming the target, Xu Yifan revealed his identity: "I am from Jiuzhou Automobile Factory. I have made an appointment. I came here to negotiate a cooperation with your factory!"
"Appointment? Sorry, I just had an emergency, so I have to go and deal with it!!" Wei Xiaojun suddenly remembered.
However, he immediately had questions about the other party's topic: "What is cooperation?"
Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, the name of this factory, Wei Xiaojun has often talked about it recently, it can be said that it is like thunder.
But what kind of cooperation does this manufacturer want to discuss with its own factory?
Soon, Wei Xiaojun figured out the problem.
The production capacity of the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory is insufficient to meet the purchasing needs of consumers in Jiangzhou City and several cities surrounding Jiangzhou City.
If you want to find some car factories with spare production capacity, it is normal to OEM the Kyushu Mini!
but. . . .
"Jiuzhou Automobile Factory." Wei Xiaojun nodded slightly to express his understanding.
But then he asked in confusion: "Can you tell me what cooperation you have?"
Xu Yifan went straight to the point: "I want to find your factory to do OEM production for our factory's products!"
With a look of embarrassment on his face, Wei Xiaojun said helplessly: "OEM production? Oops, this is a bit troublesome. Our factory's production tasks are very full recently and we don't have any spare capacity to OEM other people's products."
"I'm really sorry, please come back!"
"The production tasks are fully arranged?" Xu Yifan looked at the fifty-year-old car factory owner in front of him with some surprise.
According to the information he learned, there are currently no production tasks to be done at the Xichuan Automobile Factory.
And when they came here just now, they drove around the factory area. Although they did not enter the production workshop, judging from the employees on site and the lack of vehicles transporting materials to the production workshop, there was no production task at all!
Compared with the busy production workshop at home, it is completely different!
With a thought in his heart, Xu Yifan roughly understood what was going on.
Although the Internet is not very popular nowadays, computer chat rooms and the like are still very active. In addition, they are in the same province and are also engaged in vehicle production factories. It is difficult not to notice that the sales are very hot nowadays. Kyushu Automobile Factory.
The other party looked like he didn't know his factory and was unwilling to do OEM production. It was clear that he didn't want to use his own production line to produce Kyushu Mini at this juncture!
The purpose is naturally very simple, to produce models they developed themselves, similar to Kyushu Motors.
Thinking of this, Xu Yifan asked directly: "Don't you want to imitate Jiuzhou Mini's products?"
