The annual meeting of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce was over. On their way home, brothers Ruan Wen Yue and Ruan Wen Zhao, who were riding in the same car, sighed at the comfort of the customized car while discussing how to communicate privately with other branches during the annual meeting.
Results.
Originally, when the automobile manufacturing and R&D center was established, someone promised to give each of several collaborators a share of a customized car. The Ruan brothers gave the share of one of the cars to the Grand Duke in exchange for other benefits.
But when the finished product came out, it would be a lie to say that they were not greedy. No matter in terms of comfort, safety and performance, it was completely different from mass-produced cars. Fortunately, the two brothers still had a share of one. It was in the Grand Duke's
After the two customized cars were completed, they immediately put forward the commission.
Although someone stated that he would only help build one customized car every year after the first year, this restriction was only limited to the part that he personally did. As for the other magicians in the center who assisted in building customized cars
How many cars can be built depends on whether the materials are sufficient and whether the boss is evil or not. A certain magician does not impose many prohibitions. In the final analysis, he does not want to protect his own rights, he is just afraid of trouble.
The custom-made car that the two Ruan brothers were riding in had quite a large space in the back seat, with two rows of seats facing each other, and a small round table sandwiched between them. There was a movable glass mechanism between the cab and the back seat.
Separating the two parties so that they cannot hear each other's voices is conducive to the confidentiality of the conversation of the person in the back seat.
Of course, those who can drive a car customized for these two brothers must be very close and trustworthy. Therefore, the time to use this glass mechanism is to reassure and respect others when negotiating with outsiders.
Use it when talking to the other party.
Now they were sitting in the back seat without closing the glass. While drinking ice-cold ale, they also talked about things related to the magician. Ruan Wenzhao said: "Brother, there is something I can't understand."
"Which one? Tell me about it."
"As for getting the car back and building it myself, didn't the magician agree to it? He also promised us to help. I think some of my cousins offered good deals, so why didn't you agree to them?"
This matter was discussed at the annual meeting, but Nguyen Van Viet refused on the grounds that his manpower had only learned half of the technology. In fact, from the beginning, Lin suggested that the manpower of the two parties should do this kind of professional division of labor, just starting from the work
For the sake of efficiency, I didn't think about keeping anything confidential.
In fact, whether it is his people or the Grand Duke's people working in the same place, even if they do not deliberately spy on the work content of another group of people, no one deliberately hides it. Since everyone can see it, see
If you don’t understand something, just ask a few questions, and discuss with each other during casual chats. This is not only beneficial to improving your own skills, but also helps to improve the design of the car.
Today, it is not a problem to pull out the manpower of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce or the manpower of the Grand Duke of Kawei to build a complete car. But if you want to do it quickly and well, you still have to maintain the original grouping.
.After all, everyone has been working together for nearly two years, and the tacit understanding between each other cannot be easily replaced by novices.
But such details are unknown to outsiders. Instead, the system of group manufacturing has become a good excuse to resist other people's unreasonable demands. This is what Nguyen Van Viet did before.
As for his brothers, Nguyen Van Chiu said that Lin agreed to let them, so that Mr. Kawei could allocate some manpower and establish an automobile manufacturing plant. This was something that was agreed upon when the center was established. A while ago, the center saw that
With the business on track and several car models finally finalized, Lin mentioned the matter again.
The original intention of doing this is of course based on cost considerations. Simply considering making a product, the biggest cost sources come from two aspects, one is the labor cost of the producer, and the other is the cost of materials to make the item.
No matter where they are or what their status is, the labor cost level in Midland is similar to that of the third world or backward countries on Earth, so it is basically ignored. However, the cost of materials is very important to the Grand Duke of Kawi and Nguyen Van Viet brothers, because they
There are mines that can produce materials for making ordinary cars, so this cost is actually the cost of mining and transportation.
Mining requires manpower. Even if some advanced technical equipment is introduced, it will only improve safety and efficiency. In the end, people will still be needed to operate it, and overall there will be no savings. But the transportation of materials is not that necessary. The simplest part
The best method is to set up factories in the area where the materials are produced, manufacture the cars locally, and then sell them to further reduce costs and increase profits.
Of course, the factory that is to be located elsewhere cannot be set up according to the specifications of the automobile manufacturing and R&D center. At least the system based on the purple transformation magic stone is established for the purpose of research and development. The center is located in
This system is also used in mass-produced cars, just by the way, and it doesn't take up much resources anyway.
If the automobile manufacturing production line is relocated to other places, 'molds' and other measurement tools can be used to replace the Zishi Design System. Although the efficiency will be reduced, the transportation cost saved can completely offset the little efficiency.
Problem. It’s not that the Purple Stone Design System cannot be established, it’s just unnecessary and the cost is too high.
But even if there is such a plan, neither the Grand Duke of Kawi nor Nguyen Van Viet have the idea of setting up a car manufacturing plant near the mines they control. "Do you know why?" After a rough statement,
Nguyen Van Viet asked about his brother.
Being able to be his brother's helper is not just because the two are brothers from the same father and mother. Ruan Wenzhao disguises himself very well, playing a black face and reckless image in front of outsiders, acting like his brother
It's something inconvenient to do. But he is definitely not a fool, he just doesn't need to show his intelligence in front of outsiders.
As for his brother's question this time, Ruan Wenzhao thought for a while and said, "Is it because the center's technology has been updated too quickly?"
"Yes, that's the reason. Even those car styles that have been finalized are not incapable of improvement. If the production is placed in the center, the production technology and car design can be adjusted at the first time. But if the factory is set up in another place
, even if you can rely on forums to synchronize the technical indicators of the two places, it will cost money and time to change the mold, and the response speed cannot be as fast as manufacturing in the center. So you have put all your efforts into preparing to build a factory. Maybe the manufacturing factory has been built.
, the technology to be used in it is already lagging behind. Even we ourselves can’t stand this situation, let alone that it will be run by other people who don’t know anything about it. How do you explain it to them.”
Ruan Wenzhao thought for a while and said helplessly: "That's true."
"Moreover, we raised the matter regarding the peripherals factory and asked other branches to cooperate. We seemed to have been forced to agree to it by raising it with other branches. They are two completely different things. This case cannot be opened first."
"Oh, then, have you considered cooperation?"
Ruan Wenyue shook his head and said: "If it's not necessary, don't consider it. Maybe if we run the automobile industry with the strength of the entire family, the family can become stronger. But the benefits we can get are not as good as what we can get by maintaining the current operation method."
"Well, that's true." Ruan Wenzhao agreed. Their branch has been looked down upon for so long, and it would be a lie to say they have no temper. Once the dominance of the automobile industry falls into the hands of the entire family, their branch will
How much more can it fall? So it’s better to keep it as it is.
