Through Wan Qianshan's introduction, Zhu Zhiyuan had an intuitive understanding of the current situation of Hongyang Factory.
Except for military products, the civilian products of Hongyang Factory can be said to be diverse and blooming, but none of them can be beaten.
Low-tech ones include mosquito coils, clothes hangers, and even bracelets. We get small beads and let the family members string them together and sell them to Guangdong.
These messes can, more or less, feed some people.
There are also a few that have technical content, and the most technical among them is electric vehicles.
Although the electric vehicles produced cannot be sold, the entire production line is well preserved, and the Hongyang factory has actually been improving. There is a technical team that has been working on key problems. It is idle anyway, so let them work on the key problems and find ways to improve the price. Come down.
If the price really cannot be lowered, we will find ways to improve efficiency. Increase the motor horsepower and strengthen the battery power to charge faster, run farther, and ride more stably.
After looking around, Zhu Zhiyuan nodded.
Wan Qianshan's mouth went dry as he spoke, and when he nodded, he stopped talking and just looked at him longingly.
The same goes for Lin Zhong.
He listened all the way and thought about what he could do if it were him.
The conclusion is that there is no way.
Hongyang Factory has quite strong military industry strength, but there are no orders.
Duojing Company is a joke and a child's game.
The turnaround of electric vehicles is also far away. If Lin Zhong was talking about it, he even felt that it would be better to think of more solutions at Duojing Company and then go outside to get orders for bead strings and the like. Technical upgrading of electric power plants is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Zhu Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "Bring me a drawing."
Is he going to draw a picture?
Wan Qianshan didn't ask any further questions and immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper.
Zhu Zhiyuan put paper, pen, ruler and other things on a work table, lowered his head and started drawing.
He finished it quickly.
A very strange thing, it seems to be a car.
This car is very strange. It has six wheels and a body, but no front.
There are a pair of handles at the front and rear of the car.
"The requirements for this car are that it can carry 500 kilograms, charge for five hours, and run three to fifty kilometers. The speed does not need to be high, it only needs to be about thirty kilometers per hour."
Zhu Zhiyuan mentioned the requirements one by one and wrote them down: "The steel plate above is required to be able to withstand AK47 bullets. The wheels must be radial wheels that will not leak due to bullets. The frame must be adjustable in height, so it can be used on mountainous terrain." You can walk freely, but you need to be able to climb a slope of about 70 degrees.”
"Where's the front of the car?" Wan Qianshan asked.
"There's no front end."
"How can we go without a car?" Wan Qianshan was dumbfounded.
"The whole car looks like this." Zhu Zhiyuan said: "The control panel is placed on the fender, and the push handles at the front and rear are used to control the direction."
"Manual control?" Wan Qianshan was dumbfounded: "Isn't this the same as a trolley?"
"It's almost the same as a trolley." Zhu Zhiyuan nodded: "The difference is that this trolley is powered, so you don't have to push it. You just need to hold the handle and control the direction. It also requires remote control."
"Remote control?" Wan Qianshan asked.
"Yes." Zhu Zhiyuan nodded: "Suppose a soldier attacks for a certain distance and runs out of bullets. The enemy's firepower is fierce and he cannot get out of the bunker. At this time, he needs to use remote control to let the vehicle go by itself and deliver supplies. .”
"Is this for military use?" Wan Qianshan's eyes lit up.
Lin Zhong was shocked: "If he can get orders from the military, does he still have something to do with the military? Yes, these princelings, their fathers and grandfathers are all old revolutionaries, so they naturally have something to do with the military. .”
"It's for military use." Zhu Zhiyuan nodded: "To sum up, this vehicle is a multi-functional terrain vehicle that can follow infantry in climbing mountains and wading in water. It can carry a load of 500 kilograms. It can follow a squad of infantry up mountains and into water. It doesn't require much. It’s dazzling, but it must be solid and durable.”
"What about power consumption?" Wan Qianshan asked.
"The U.S. military doesn't consider this."
"U.S. Army?"
Wan Qianshan blinked desperately. At this moment, his vigilance suddenly increased.
"Oh oh oh, this is not important." Zhu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head: "Anyway, take a look and see if it can be produced. If it can be produced, maybe it can be sold to the US military."
In his previous life, Zhu Zhiyuan made a list.
Feida Machinery, where Zhu Zhiyuan works, is an old Swedish factory whose boss is a Jew, and the Jews are the real masters of the United States and control the military-industrial complex.
Two years after Zhu Zhiyuan came back, which is now ten years later, he saw on TV that the US military in Afghanistan was equipped with donkeys, and he had an idea: why not equip the US military with mechanical donkeys.
After some investigation, he expressed his intention, and his boss expressed interest. He organized R&D and production and built a multi-functional supply vehicle.
This kind of car has no front, only a body. There are push handles at the front and rear to control the direction. It has a load of 450 kilograms and is powered by a battery. It can charge for five to eight hours and can travel three to fifty kilometers.
This distance is enough for infantry, especially those climbing mountains.
As soon as his car was launched, it was very popular with the US military. He received an order for 5,000 vehicles in the first batch, followed by 20,000 vehicles, and a follow-up order of 30,000 vehicles.
However, the order for 30,000 vehicles was not obtained in the end, because the US military later gave up and ran away.
But even those 25,000 cars made Feida's boss a lot of money, because one car sold for $29,990.
It sounds like a difference of ten US dollars to thirty thousand US dollars, but in fact, with some accessories and so on, it is far more than thirty thousand US dollars.
Just such a car, 30,000 US dollars?
Incredible, right?
There is something even more incredible.
The US$30,000 was the money received by Feida Company, and the purchase price quoted by the US military was US$130,000.
Where did the $100,000 difference go? You know.
Yes, this is the US military. A cup costs $6,000, a toilet costs $100,000, two donkeys cost three million US dollars, and nine sheep cost six million US dollars.
This is all public news and a world-class joke.
You know, the US military has spent a total of more than 2 trillion US dollars in Afghanistan, which exceeds the GDP of most countries in the world.
How was the money spent? That's how it's spent.
In his previous life, this car was a shining point in Zhu Zhiyuan's career. It helped his boss earn a lot of money and also helped him reach a higher position.
His original idea was to wait until he bought a department-level enterprise and then get it out and get this list.
When he built this car, it was already ten years later, and now, it is still 2008. The US military is playing whack-a-mole in the mountains and plains of Afghanistan, and has bought up all the donkeys in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Even Chinese profiteers made a fortune from this, using the excuse of not having donkey skins to raise the price of donkey-hide gelatin crazily.
The current U.S. military is in urgent need of such a vehicle to follow the infantry and reduce the weight of the U.S. military officers who are climbing mountains with heavy backpacks, so as to better hunt down Taliban shepherds in the vast mountains of Afghanistan.
Ten years later, he will be able to get orders for more than 50,000 vehicles. Ten years in advance, let alone 100,000 vehicles, will definitely not be a problem.
The wealthy American military men are the biggest losers in the world. They waste things and never blink an eye. A hundred thousand vehicles may not be enough to defeat them.
Not to mention 30,000 US dollars, even just 10,000 US dollars. One hundred thousand vehicles is one billion US dollars.
This is U.S. dollars, one billion U.S. dollars, nearly 10 billion yuan.
As long as he gets this order, he can secure his position as factory director and save the factory with at least several thousand people.
Who dares not to give him a department-level establishment?
This has been his plan all along.
