Bingxin Automobile Factory, compared with its depressed appearance a few months ago, is simply a huge change.
Now in the factory, not to mention the people outside, the number of workers in the factory has expanded from more than 800 people to more than 1,500 people now, which is nearly double the number of employees before. The reception desk comes from all over the country.
The dealers are even more overcrowded.
The guest house, which was originally used for the factory's own residents, has long been full.
"This is your car factory?" Goya got out of the car and looked at the lively scene in the factory and couldn't help but ask.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "To be precise, this is just the old factory. The new factory is bigger than this one, and after it is completed, it will be hundreds of times more advanced than this one!"
"Are you not bragging?" Goya tilted his head and looked at Li Zhi and asked. It is hundreds of times more advanced than this factory. Does it mean that the cars manufactured in the factory will also be hundreds of times more advanced than here?
Li Zhi shrugged, dumbfounded and said, "Why do I have such a bad opinion in your eyes? Did I often lie and brag in front of you?"
Goya smiled and said: "At least I lied!"
"OK!"
Li Zhi nodded with a wry smile, and while walking towards the office building with Goya, he said: "From now on, I will try to be truthful, neither exaggerated nor modest, and try to use as few white lies as possible. That's okay!"
"I'm afraid you can't keep your words!" Goya asked curiously: "I haven't heard of this car factory before, right?"
Wang Qianqian, who was following the two men, added with a smile: "This car factory is an old factory that has been around for decades, but it stopped producing cars more than ten years ago. The production and assembly started again after Mr. Li bought this place.
Production has just started again. Now the total national sales of the Ice Soul series' Ice Soul nn7' have exceeded 20,000 units, and the number of reservations has reached 100,000 units."
"How long?" Goya looked at her and asked curiously.
"Less than half a month!" Wang Qianqian said with a smile.
Goya glanced at Li Zhi and asked, "Is your vehicle system really that smart?"
Li Zhi smiled and said: "As I said, hearing is false and seeing is believing. You can go up and experience it. As for whether it is that good or not, no matter how much others say, there is no direct answer from your own personal experience.
"
"Okay, take me there!" Goya nodded, she really had the idea of trying it out for herself.
"Take her to the test drive factory!" Li Zhi stopped and ordered Wang Qianqian.
"Aren't you going over?" Goya looked at Li Zhi and asked.
Li Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "You go ahead, I have to take care of some things. This is my own territory. You can play around as you like. There are also modified cars in the test drive factory. You can also go up and experience it."
"Okay, see you later!"
Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "See you soon!"
Entering the office, Li Zhi just sat on the chair when the door was pushed open by Huang Yueying from the outside. She walked in, looked at him with a half-smile and said: "My big boss, it's okay. You hired that beautiful woman just now again."
Are you a high-level talent? You are really busy, you can change the girl every time you come, and you can change the girl every time you come, so you are not afraid of tiring yourself?"
Li Zhi turned his chair, looked at her with a smile and asked: "Just say whether you are envious or jealous. If you want to be envious, I can let you feel my warm embrace. If you are jealous, I can also go and give it to you."
How about you find a few young and handsome guys and let you change one every day, and don’t bring the same one every week? I’ll pay for it, what do you think?”
"Ivory can't come out of a dog's mouth!" Huang Yueying rolled her eyes at him, sat on the chair opposite, put away her smile, and said seriously: "Boss, something is not good now!"
"What's wrong?" Li Zhi looked at her and asked with a smile.
Huang Yueying said: "Some downstream parts suppliers have already shouted slogans for price increases. In addition, there are now four factories that assemble cars for us, including Oriental Motor, Forti Motors, Sea Dog Motors, and FAW-3.
The contract signed at that time was for each company to provide 6,000 existing cars per month, but now the four OEMs have changed their words at the same time, saying that productivity is limited and they want to reduce production capacity!"
Li Zhi frowned and asked, "How much lower?"
"Half!" Huang Yueying replied.
"So many? Have you found a new foundry?" Li Zhi asked with a frown.
Huang Yueying nodded and said: "I found it. This time we cast a nationwide net and signed a total of 16 companies. The maximum monthly production capacity reaches 120,000 vehicles, and the minimum can reach 80,000 vehicles!"
"Can the quality be guaranteed?" Li Zhi asked.
"It's 100% no problem. I have specifically discussed this with the foundry. If there is a quality problem, the other party will be fully responsible and there will be high liquidated damages. This has been written into the contract!" Huang Yueying nodded.
"What do these four foundries mean now?" Li Zhi didn't believe that the four factories would reduce their quantities by 50% at the same time. There was no reason.
Huang Yueying thought for a while and said: "Probably because the Ice Soul car is selling so well, it has affected the sales of the four companies' own cars. If nothing else happens, our Ice Soul nn7 will be able to overtake the sacred car this month."
Hafa has stepped down from the altar. If there are enough existing cars, he can sell 60,000 cars a month, no problem at all!"
"Then how are you going to solve it?" Li Zhi looked at her and asked.
Huang Yueying said: "We are still communicating with the four companies. We signed the contract and the advance payment has been paid. If the four factories breach the contract, it can only be resolved through legal means."
Li Zhi knocked on his desk, looked at Huang Yueying and suddenly smiled, and asked: "How are you? You must be very tired!"
Huang Yueying was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a wry smile: "It is indeed very tiring, but very challenging!"
"It's good that you're not exhausted. Since the matter of Ice Soul Auto is entrusted to you, then you are the helmsman of Ice Soul Auto. All matters of Ice Soul Auto, big and small, are your responsibility. You don't have to ask me about anything, such as
If the four foundries default this time, you should do what you think in your heart, no matter right or wrong, I will support you." Li Zhi said with a smile.
"Okay!" Huang Yueying smiled and nodded. What did Li Zhi mean? She understood that there were voices of opposition to Huang Yueying within Ice Soul Cars. The problem was that Ice Soul Cars was privately owned by Li Zhi. There were no other objections.
No matter how high it is, as long as Li Zhi doesn't object, there won't be any problem.
"How long will it take to build the Auto City?" Li Zhi turned the topic to the Auto City project.
Huang Yueying said: "It will probably take three years at the fastest. The total investment of 1.2 billion is not a small amount, nor is it a small project. Three years is already the fastest time. It will be done in three phases, one year
One issue!”
"Three years?" Li Zhi frowned and said, "Three years is too slow. I can't wait that long, and Ice Soul Automobile can't wait either. Can it be completed in three months without taking into account the cost?"
"Impossible!" Huang Yueying shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Boss, you have never built a house, and you have always seen others renovate it. If the three-year project is completed in three months, you are not afraid of making a tofu for you.
A scumbag project?”
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "I said it, regardless of the cost. In this way, you discuss with Lao Huang, find more construction companies, use as many steel frame structures and new materials as possible, and see if you can
Compressing time, if it doesn't work, I'll find a few more construction companies to work together. In short, I want to see Binghun Auto's factory building within three months. In terms of equipment, I have already made a list. According to my
I will buy from the list. If you can buy it domestically, buy it from home. If you can’t buy it domestically, buy it from abroad. Within six months, that is, within half a year, I want to ensure that all the mechanical equipment production lines can be brought into the factory."
The smile on Huang Yueying's face disappeared, she frowned and looked at Li Zhi and asked: "Boss, are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious." Li Zhi nodded.
Huang Yueying thought for a while and said: "Within three months, if the first phase of the project is completed, it may be possible to complete all the factories. There is no need to think about it. Even if it is possible, we will not have so much funds on hand to build the factory."
The time is shortened ten times, the cost is at least five times higher, and the huge capital investment of 60 billion cannot be produced by Ice Soul Automobile. Boss, can you produce it?"
Li Zhidao: "Isn't Binghun Auto making money?"
Huang Yueying looked at him with a wry smile and said: "Even if the Ice Soul Car can make money, do you think it can earn you 60 billion in cash within three months? It is impossible to rob a bank at this speed!"
"Can the first phase of the project be completed within three months?" Li Zhi could only settle for the next best thing.
"Maybe it's possible, but the cost is estimated to be doubled. Boss, we don't need to rush in such a hurry." Huang Yueying didn't know why Li Zhi was in such a hurry. Ice Soul Automobile's Auto City project, even if it is completed in three years, will use
The time is not long, the food must be eaten bite by mouth, and the road must be walked step by step. This is a truth that many people understand.
Li Zhi shook his head, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. There were many things that he could not tell others. What seemed to others to be a short time was too long to him. Others could wait, but Li Zhi could not wait.
In addition to manufacturing cars in the Auto City, the production line purchased by Li Zhi can be reassembled and the program changed to manufacture "car robots".
Although I don’t have a weapon, I won’t be able to use it for the time being, but I will definitely use it later. Only by getting it out first will I feel confident.
In addition, I believe that the time left for Binghun Auto will not exceed one year at most. By then, the outside world will unite and all factories will stop manufacturing for Binghun Auto. After the production capacity is greatly reduced, what will Binghun Auto do? What will happen to those cars?
Suppression from the giants will definitely come.
Binghun Auto has no backend and is a purely private enterprise. No company is willing to watch the rise of a giant that competes with them for jobs.
It would be the same if it were Li Zhi!
Regardless of the possibility, Li Zhi, Ice Soul Auto, and even Ice Soul Group need to have a sense of crisis. When that day comes, Ice Soul Auto can not be afraid.
"After the first phase of the Auto City project is completed, how much can the production volume be increased?" Li Zhi asked.
Huang Yueying thought for a while and said: "According to the analysis and calculation based on the drawings you gave, we can produce approximately 80,000 vehicles per month. With the completion of the third phase of the project, the production capacity can be increased to 300,000 vehicles."
Li Zhi nodded. If he were to manufacture mechas or autobots, he could produce about 8,000 units a month. After the completion of the third phase of the project, the number could be increased to about 30,000 units.
Twenty percent of the core equipment of this production line was purchased by Li Zhi from the Interstellar Business Alliance trading platform. The price is about two billion U.S. dollars, and it is the part used to transform weapons.
The 'A-class car mecha production line' covers an area of 80,000 acres, and the various supporting facilities add up to a total cost of 12 billion. It can manufacture various types of cars, as well as 'a-class car mecha'.
This is the specific data given by the Nebula i9 smart factory system.
A-class car mechas can only be regarded as cannon fodder on the battlefield, especially on the interstellar battlefield. They are bulky and have weak firepower. They cannot fight in the air or in water. They are only suitable for land operations. On top of it, there are also
There is an upgraded version, the S-class car mecha, which is larger, has more firepower, can fly at low altitudes, can enter water in a short time, and the depth cannot exceed three hundred meters.
However, Nebula i9 Smart Factory described that whether it is an A-class Autobot mecha or an S-class Autobot mecha, they are all cannon fodder and have less use in the interstellar range.
The reason why I chose the 'A-class car mecha production line' is because it is the most suitable for Li Zhi now. It can produce a variety of vehicles, and the cost is not particularly expensive. For the time being, it is acceptable to Li Zhi.
Shortcomings such as few uses and weak firepower are all relative.
In Li Zhi's eyes, A-class car mechas are a bit fierce. As long as they produce B-type or C-type weak or even micro-car mechas, they will be enough on earth.
The miniature car mecha is about the same size as an ordinary car.
