Late at night, the conference room of Chenguang Machinery Factory was filled with smoke and bustling with people. Factory leaders and business backbones were meeting to discuss the sky-high price orders from Hong Kong...
com..
This is a pie falling from the sky. The intended contract value is as high as tens of millions of yuan. The other party requires Chenguang Factory to come up with a package plan, from model selection to modification, to provide foreign customers with fifty bulletproof four-wheel drive vehicles in the shortest possible time.
Off-road transport vehicle.
This is an extremely difficult task, because the time given by Party A is very tight, the task is very heavy, and the price is also very low. The target of 10 million seems high, but in fact the profit is pitifully small, but the factory leaders
We still attach great importance to it. Firstly, the contract involves a large amount. If we reduce the cost, we can still see profits. Secondly, this is an export business, and it is a heavy industrial product that is completely different from light industrial products such as rubber tapping knives. The same is true for special vehicle modifications.
Chenguang Machinery Factory was the hometown of Chenguang Machinery Factory. During the Iran-Iraq War, many of the military vehicles on the battlefield were modified by Chenguang Machinery Factory.
On the old-fashioned conference table, there are rows of tea cups, including stainless steel thermos cups, enamel tea jars with factory logos, trade union white porcelain cups with lids, and more, various bottles and cans prepared by the masters themselves.
There are wide-mouth cans, including large Nescafe coffee bottles, some with wool insulation covers, and some with a thick layer of theophylline, so that the original color of the glass can no longer be seen.
There were also various cigarette boxes on the table, most of which were cheap cigarettes produced by local tobacco companies. The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. The conference room was filled with smoke. The little girl who brought the hot water in almost got smoked.
It must be said that this order aroused the ambition and strong interest of Chenguang Factory from the factory director to the grassroots workers. Although the supply requirements stated that it was a four-wheel drive multi-purpose tool vehicle for industrial and mining exploration in tropical areas, the chassis was heavy-duty and explosion-proof.
The various requirements for tires that can withstand direct fire from 7.62mm rifle bullets, as well as a rotating arc and anti-shield above the cockpit clearly prove that what they ordered is not a tool truck, but an out-and-out knock-off wheeled armored vehicle.
It is said to be a copycat version because the price is too low. Military-standard products will never be at this price. The unit price of a mine-protected vehicle alone is millions. This kind of four-wheel drive vehicle that can fight and transport troops,
It's not just 200,000 yuan. Not to mention anything else, the cost of the chassis, engine and special bulletproof steel plates alone is more than this price.
The old accountant of Chenguang Factory adjusted his eyes, flipped the beads on the abacus and said: "If all the requirements of the buyer are met, the unit price will be at least 500,000. The cost of outsourcing cannot be reduced, and the price of steel is now increasing.
It will be useless no matter how much we reduce our manufacturing costs."
"Fifty thousand, I'm afraid it's too high, and it will be difficult for the other party to accept it," Lu Tianming said.
"There is no way. There is only one way to reduce costs. Increase the order quantity and place an order of 10,000 vehicles. I can definitely reduce the cost to 300,000." The old accountant took a sip of tea and made a conclusion without any doubt.
.
"Old Deng, what can you do over there?" Lu Tianming turned his attention to Deng Yunfeng, the workshop director of the first workshop.
The first workshop is where people in the factory gather. Workers with flexible minds and superb skills are all in the same workshop. As the leader of these masters, Deng Yunfeng naturally has his own merits.
"Director Lu, I do have an immature idea..." Deng Yunfeng said reservedly.
"Stop being so pretentious, let's brainstorm ideas. Don't talk about being mature or immature. Let's speak out first and let's listen." Lu Tianming encouraged.
"Okay, that's what I think. This order is from a trading house in Hong Kong. First of all, I can be sure it's not a scam, because they even paid the advance payment. This business is of great significance to our factory.
I think no matter what, it must come next.”
Deng Yunfeng talked eloquently, everyone listened attentively, and the conference room suddenly became quiet.
"But this Hong Kong trading house is just a middleman. I guess the end user should be an organization in Africa, Southeast Asia, or South America, or maybe even a local warlord. But they are definitely not rich, and they are in urgent need of bulletproof vehicles, so they
They asked us to help them produce cheap and high-quality armored vehicles. This is an affirmation of our Chenguang factory and shows that the reputation we built in the 1980s has not gone out of date."
There was a round of applause, and the old workers' faces were glowing and they were in high spirits. They all took advantage of Deng Yunfeng's words.
Deng Yunfeng continued: "Since people are short of money, then they should follow the path of saving money. We Chenguang people are not the kind of companies that are used to spending too much money. There is no shame in repairing things for three years. I just looked at it carefully
Their requirements can be summarized in three sentences: first, to be able to run fast, second, to be able to pull and move, and third, to be able to block bullets."
"These three sentences may seem simple, but they are not easy to implement. First of all, we must choose a chassis with excellent performance, durability and durability. It is best to match it with a high-power diesel engine. The powerful structure is simple and easy to maintain. Then there is the issue of bulletproof.
This is the top priority. If we only purchase military vehicles, people won’t come to us. Why don’t we worry about not being able to buy a Hummer or a Land Rover? If not, we can just buy a few Toyota pickup trucks. Now that they’re looking for us,
, I just plan to buy a military armored vehicle at the same price as a civilian vehicle."
Having said this, Deng Yunfeng lowered his head and took a sip of tea. A young technician took advantage of this gap and shouted: "You want to buy an armored vehicle for only 200,000 yuan. You are too stingy! None of the mainstream armored vehicles in the world is worth millions or thousands."
The price is 10,000 yuan.”
Deng Yunfeng spit out the tea leaves in his mouth and said: "We are all oppressed class brothers in Asia, Africa and Latin America. If we can help, we must not stand idly by."
"Old Deng, tell me your solution." Lu Tianming said confidently. When he saw Deng Yunfeng reaching for a cigarette, he specifically threw his Hongtashan over: "Smoke mine."
Deng Yunfeng lit a cigarette and continued: "My opinion is that if the local method is launched, the primary problem should be solved first, and other problems can be slowed down. This kind of armored vehicle must have a powerful appearance, and it is best to remind people of a certain
A world-famous armored vehicle would be the best. As for the issue of armored steel plates, you can ask Hongqi Factory for help. If the cost cannot be reduced, use bulletproof steel plates only in key positions, and use civilian mild steel in the rest of the parts, or at the top and bottom of the shape.
Kungfu, a large inclination can enhance the bulletproof effect."
"Director Deng's opinion is very good. The three cobblers have put their heads together. We have brainstormed and thought carefully about how to make this armored vehicle perfect. We will try to get customers to bring out prototypes when they come to the factory for inspection. In terms of price, the business department will
Talk to them again and try to raise the price." After Lu Tianming said this, he looked at his watch that it was already late at night, and then said: "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest early, and don't be late tomorrow."
Engineers, technicians and senior technicians held teacups and put on their coats, and went out in twos and threes. The factory road was filled with bright moonlight, and the shadows of trees on both sides were whirling. A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves rustled.
Wearing work clothes, I looked at my colleagues who got off work so late with emotion. I couldn't help but think of the hot 1980s. At that time, just like now, the workshop worked in three shifts, the machines roared all night, and the workshop cadres and factory leaders always arrived very late.
get off work.
Dad and a few co-workers went home all the way. The old guys talked loudly and refused to enter the house when they got downstairs. They smoked and chatted at the door of the unit for more than ten minutes, until one of them's wife called to urge them to disperse.
After returning home, my father did not wash up and rest. Instead, he rushed into the study, took a drawing board and pencil and began to outline the lines of the armored car on the paper. The tea brought by my mother was cold and poured again.
It was cold and an hour passed before I knew it.
"I think the canopy can be eliminated and made into a detachable canvas." His son's voice came from behind. When his father looked back, he saw Liu Ziguang standing behind him with his clothes on and a smile on his face, stretching his head to admire the sketch.
"What do you know? Go back to bed quickly. This is a special car for export. The factory needs to brainstorm ideas. Don't disturb my design." Dad pushed Liu Ziguang out without explanation. Liu Ziguang stood at the door and smiled helplessly. He hadn't seen him for a long time.
When my father became so serious, in fact, when he was young, my father was a very diligent worker, studying at night and making small inventions. Later, the factory gradually declined, and the people's energy also withered. That set of drawings
The tool was bought in the 1980s and has been hidden under the bed for more than 30 years. Unexpectedly, it came in use today.
Unexpectedly, my order would cause an uproar. The Chenguang factory would have to work hard for at least half a year. Ruifeng Matheson is a trading company under Hongshi Holdings. It is registered in Hong Kong. It is convenient and can save a lot of trouble. The Heart of Asia
The price has been paid in full. After deducting the commission of more than two million yuan paid to the auction house, there is still US$17 million, equivalent to more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. All of this money will be used to arm Chen Martin's Kaye army.
superior.
Liu Ziguang firmly believed that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. As long as Martin can shine in the liberation war of Western Sadamoya, his position in the cabinet will be indispensable in the future. If Chen Martin secures his position, then his manor and minerals will naturally be
There will be no worries, and you can develop whatever you want when the time comes.
But it is a fantasy to win a war with only more than 10 million US dollars. Modern war is actually a money-burning business, especially in this magical land of the African continent. Black people are born with a kind of romance.
Even fighting has become a kind of performance art. Usually after a battle, both parties fire tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and there are zero casualties. The automatic rifle is like a thirty-ring firecracker in their hands, and the prg is in their hands.
It's just a big firecracker. In their minds, war is nothing more than a bloody carnival.
Therefore, Liu Ziguang did not intend to equip these black warriors with sophisticated weapons. He wanted to achieve the best results with the least expenditure. This is the origin of Chenguang Factory's 10 million order.
