Chapter 1726, the development of multi-function vehicles
After leaving the oil store, Liu Jin took Zhu Houzhao to Mercedes-Benz Bicycles again.
I originally thought that it was during the annual vacation. Duan Hai, Huang Zhiyuan, Ren Siheng, Lu Qing and others might still be on vacation at home, but I didn't expect that not one of them would come to the factory early, and they were still discussing Hongzhi.
Twenty-six new year resolutions.
"His Royal Highness~"
"Mr. Liu~"
Seeing the arrival of Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, everyone was excited.
"You seem to be in a meeting. What are you discussing?"
Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao sat down very casually, looked at the people gathered together for the meeting, and asked with a smile: "Isn't it time to start work yet? Why don't you spend time with your family at home and come to work early?
?”
"Mr. Liu, we have nothing to do at home and can't stay idle, so we went back to the factory to discuss some important work arrangements for this year."
"I originally wanted to report the matter to His Highness and Mr. Liu after the discussion was completed."
Duan Hai replied with a smile.
The people of Ming Dynasty have always been like this, diligent and restless.
As the management of a Mercedes-Benz bicycle factory and a car factory, they are even more like this. It is definitely not an easy task to manage such a huge factory. Moreover, Liu Jin has very high requirements and is developing very fast now.
"Well, you are discussing something, and His Highness the Crown Prince and I happen to be here to listen together."
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became interested and asked quickly.
"Your Highness, Mr. Liu~"
"We are discussing the opening of new factories in the New Year. In Tianjin, Beijing, and Songhu, we are all preparing to start large-scale automobile factories. Now we are also discussing specific details and arrangements. In addition, in terms of funds, we may need
More financial support.”
Duan Hai also began to report in detail to Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao about the opening of a new factory. Starting a new factory was also Liu Jin's request.
Now that cars have been produced, it is natural to vigorously develop them, increase the production of cars, and lower the prices, so that cars can truly enter thousands of households.
Otherwise, at the current price of more than 6,000 taels of silver, ordinary people cannot afford it at all. Even if they expect rich people, they will not be able to sell many units a year. This will not be of great benefit to the improvement of technology and the formation of the industry.
Liu Jin listened carefully, and also constantly combined with some business management experiences of later generations, and began to think quickly.
"I would like to express some of my opinions and views."
"I think automobile manufacturing is an extremely huge industry. It requires a very large number of parts. We can't make everything ourselves. That would be very inefficient and the investment would be too high."
"In my opinion, we can only make the core parts ourselves, such as engines, gearboxes, tires and other important technical parts. As for the hood, body, chairs, etc., there is not much technical content.
It can be purchased externally and handed over to other factories for manufacturing."
"When there is still automobile manufacturing, it needs to be separated. The engine factory must be established separately. Although it is a subsidiary of the automobile factory, the finance must be separated and independent."
"The same goes for the tire factory. It is separated and independent. It becomes a separate sub-factory that specializes in manufacturing engines and tires. It develops the research and manufacturing of engines, tires, and gearboxes, and concentrates on doing only one thing."
"Don't throw everything together. It will only make it messier and worse, and neither quality nor output will be improved."
Liu Jin also put forward his own opinions based on some management and production experience of later generations.
Building a car is not an easy task. If you want real large-scale mass production and reliable quality, you must separate the important things and don't make it into a big pot of porridge and rice. That will only be inefficient and without quality. .
"Carry out separate spin-offs, sub-factories?"
Hearing Liu Jin's words, Duan Hai, Ren Siheng and others were immediately slightly surprised. They had seen Liu Jin's imagination and he could always come up with something that no one could have imagined.
In everyone's opinion, it is better to build cars in one factory. The engine workshop, tire workshop, assembly workshop, etc. can be separated. There is no need to separate them separately and become independent.
But Liu Jin actually said that he wanted to separate and become independent, which is a bit confusing.
Of course, Liu Jin would not explain too much to them. This separation has its benefits. Concentrating on doing only one thing and making only one product can improve the quality of the product, and it can also continuously improve technology. Gu Bei
In addition, we can also continue to expand our business externally. The engines can be sold to the mother factory, and they can also be sold to other factories. As long as the production capacity is sufficient to meet the needs of the mother factory, I can also find ways to increase production, and then If you sell it to other automobile factories, the more money you earn, the managers at the engine factory can get more rewards.
In addition, it can also highlight the value of a product and technology.
Core products such as engines, tires, gearboxes, etc. are separated, and the finance is independent. The wood factory has to pay for the purchases, instead of just giving an order, I will produce as many engines for you as possible.
In this way, the value of the engine cannot be highlighted, and you will not be able to accurately calculate costs. When you reduce the price, you will not know where to start.
This is the reason why the big pot meal is getting worse and worse. There are too many people who are just waiting to die, and the value and ability of those who truly contribute cannot be highlighted.
This is the most important point in management.
"Yes~"
Although they didn't understand it very well, Duan Hai, Huang Zhiyuan and others still nodded solemnly and remembered it firmly.
All you need to do is follow Liu Jin's instructions and instructions. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will understand it naturally in the future.
"As for the uses of internal combustion engines, I think the current uses are still too single and not diverse enough."
"Internal combustion engines have many uses. They can be used on cultivators and harvesters to replace steam engines."
"In addition to cars, everyone's thinking should not be limited by current cars. We can develop large-scale cars for transporting goods. We can call them trucks."
"The power of an internal combustion engine is much greater than that of a steam engine. If we build a vehicle specifically for transporting and loading goods, I think it will definitely be very popular and useful."
"In addition, we can also develop longer cars that can carry dozens of people at a time. If such a car is used for long-distance driving, it will definitely satisfy and facilitate people's travel, and there will definitely be a huge market. .”
"Also, can we combine internal combustion engines with engineering construction to create a variety of vehicles specifically designed to assist engineering construction?"
"The horsepower of the internal combustion engine is very strong. Making full use of this powerful horsepower for digging, bulldozing, excavation, etc. can greatly save manpower and time."
"In addition, since cars are very expensive and everyone cannot afford them, can we combine the internal combustion engine with bicycles and use the internal combustion engine to drive the bicycles to develop a new and cheaper means of transportation?"
After Liu Jin finished speaking, Duan Hai, Ren Siheng, Lu Qing, Huang Zhiyuan and others couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Everyone has thought about using internal combustion engines to replace steam engines. The Beijing Machinery Factory has already implemented it. Replacing steam engines with internal combustion engines will produce cultivators and harvesters that are more powerful, faster, and more efficient.
efficiency.
But what Liu Jin said is that internal combustion engines can be used to make trucks for transporting goods, buses that can transport many people at one time, and they can also be used in engineering construction, or even combined with bicycles.
Everyone really didn't expect that the internal combustion engine would have so many uses and functions.
"Write it down, write it down~"
Ren Siheng, Lu Qing and others also quickly wrote down all of this.
"New factories will definitely be built, but they can't just be limited to building current cars. Trucks, buses, engineering vehicles and the like also need to be built and researched."
"Only in this way can the internal combustion engine truly provide strong power for the daily life and work of Ming people."
"Only in this way can more people understand it, become aware of it, and speed up its development."
"This is why I said we should separate the engine, tire manufacturing and the like."
Liu Jin talked a lot at once. The internal combustion engine has too many uses and must be properly developed so that it can truly become the driving force for the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.
Once a variety of vehicles appear, they will not only facilitate life and production, but also stimulate the rapid development of automobile-related industries. By then, more people will invest in this industry and field.
With more vehicles, more oil will naturally be used, and the demand for oil will increase significantly, which will then drive the development of the oil industry.
Well, in the end, you can just sit back and collect money, but the entire Ming Dynasty can enjoy the benefits and dividends brought by development.
