Secretary Huang has never thought about exporting.
But there are too few things to take out.
And foreign capitalists are too harsh and do not look down on the industrial products they produce.
Capitalists like cheap raw materials, food and handicrafts.
If Red Star cars can be exported, it will really bring glory to the country.
And it can also help the country make money.
Its far-reaching significance far exceeds the value of a car itself.
Thinking of this, Secretary Huang grabbed Cao Weidong and asked him to talk to him in detail.
"Actually, my plan is very simple. It is to build Red Star into a benchmark, build brand value through packaging, and then promote it to overseas markets..."
Cao Weidong's words can be summed up in one sentence.
Practice internal and external skills together.
Then plant a flag.
Internally, we engage in car research and development and talent training.
Externally, build a car production line to achieve mass production of cars.
Secretary Huang asked with some anxiety: "Can you really do this?"
Cao Weidong said with certainty: "Believe me, as long as we make good products and promote them through advertising, we will never worry about not having buyers."
"Advertising? Does it mean to advertise widely? It sounds interesting."
Advertisements were still rare at this time.
After hearing Cao Weidong's plan, Secretary Huang felt a little excited, so he solemnly warned.
"Xiao Cao, I leave all the matters concerning the Red Star Car to you. You must keep an eye on it. If this matter is handled well, it will definitely be of benefit to the future."
"If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me and I will be your backing."
Cao Weidong said with a smile: "Don't worry, leader, I will definitely go all out, but there are two things that I really need your support for."
Secretary Huang’s heart skipped a beat.
You won’t make requests that you can’t fulfill, right?
Cao Weidong continued:
"The first thing is to ask Director Tian to cooperate with me. The second thing is that I hope the leaders of the Foreign Affairs Department can introduce some foreign guests to me."
Secretary Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Director Tian, I told him to ensure that he will cooperate with your work. As for the second thing..."
He thought about it in his mind for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"I have a friend in the Foreign Affairs Department. He told me a while ago that a foreign guest named Smith happened to be visiting our country. I would like to say hello to him and see if I can introduce you to him."
Cao Weidong smiled confidently: "That's great. As long as you can bring people over, I will be sure to negotiate an order."
.......
Time goes on.
After several hours of intense test driving, various data of the Red Star sedan was finally released.
No surprises at all.
Red Star sedan crushes Volga M21 with absolute advantage.
Cao Weidong estimates that even if the Red Star sedan is put on the European and American markets, its performance will be ranked at a mid-range level.
In addition, in addition to superior performance, design is also a highlight.
In terms of appearance, the Red Star sedan has both lines and muscles that are majestic without losing beauty.
He is like a tough fitness man, carefully wrapping all his muscles in a suit. He looks elegant, but underneath his elegant appearance, he hides a wild heart.
The interior is equally excellent.
The center console is made of solid wood, the interior space is spacious and reasonable, and the humanized design that can be seen everywhere, but full of thoughtfulness, has made test drivers full of praise.
"I really can't bear to stop and want to keep driving."
The test driver reluctantly got out of the car and said to his fellow passengers.
"Yes, this car is so comfortable to sit in. I almost fell asleep in the car just now. It turns out that riding in a car doesn't have to be so bumpy."
A fellow passenger said this.
He felt that all the rides he took in the past were in vain.
Finally, the Red Star vehicle was returned to the factory for maintenance.
After the inspection was correct, the mechanics completed the black paint application after seeking Secretary Huang's advice, and then handed it over to the municipal party committee smoothly.
Something happened next.
Cao Weidong only heard about this.
It is said that the Red Star sedan caused a commotion.
It even alarmed higher-level leaders.
Cao Weidong didn't know exactly what the leader said or asked.
All he knew was that the letter of introduction for ordering a Red Star car was floating like snowflakes to Jinghong Auto Repair Factory.
Many leading cadres also called and requested to order Red Star cars.
Director Tian is in pain and happy.
While writing down the order requirements, he tactfully said that it might take some time.
"How long?"
"Half a year? Uh, no, three months! Three months at the earliest!"
"That's it."
The leading cadres all laughed.
"We can afford to wait for three months. Such a good car is worth the wait."
"Yes, but during this period I will be drooling over Lao Huang's car"
"After I took the Red Star once, I was no longer interested in the Volga issued by the department. What a heck."
"This shows that our country's technology has advanced and we can build such excellent cars. I feel that the Red Star sedan is no less competitive than the old American luxury cars."
It's just what they say.
Red Star sedan has a stylish design.
Strong motivation.
Excellent performance.
Unique interior design.
It opened the eyes of this group of people and even redefined their understanding of cars.
They all sighed with emotion.
Can a car be designed like this?
Of course!
In fact, these are common things in later generations.
Cao Weidong picked a few items, and now they are genius designs that cross the century!
As the popularity of Red Star cars and domestic engines continued to grow, and many newspapers published it, Cao Weidong, a car designer, also became famous.
However, Cao Weidong has no experience of success.
At this moment, he was squatting in the production workshop, discussing the mass production of Red Star sedans with the technical backbones of Jinghong Auto Repair Plant.
Cao Weidong said.
"We must restructure and separate the functional areas of automobile maintenance and automobile production, and we also need to introduce an automobile production line."
Director Tian said distressedly: "How much will this cost?"
Cao Weidong comforted: "How can we get returns without investment? These are all necessary. If we want to truly realize the mass production of Red Star cars and reduce costs, we must have our own production line. Regarding the cost, we can ask Secretary Huang to find a solution." Deng Dongming also said: "I think what Mr. Cao said makes sense. We can make a Red Star sedan, but we can't keep making it. The output won't be able to keep up."
"Production technology is the last word."
Director Tian sighed.
"The main factory has introduced two production lines from foreign countries. I will try my luck and see if I can provide support."
Cao Weidong nodded and continued: "There is another very important thing. I propose to establish an auto repair technical school to train more auto repair workers. The purpose of the early teaching is to be familiar with the maintenance of Red Star cars."
This time it was Ao Sanyuan who raised objections.
The older generation of skilled workers like them are masters and apprentices, and there are still very few forms of public lessons to teach skills.
