Chapter 877 FAW Company

The construction of a large-scale thermal power station with 400,000 kWh is a huge project. The construction of pipelines is second only to the power unit. The cost of a single project is at least tens of millions of dollars. If a company wants to bid, it must do

It's a lot of work, and all kinds of documents must be complete, but in Liu Lang's mouth, it seems that this is just a small project and nothing at all.

In fact, Liu Lang doesn't attach much importance to this matter. As he said, it's a good thing if we can take it down. It doesn't matter if we can't take it down. He just wants to let others see that Norinco Group is not in vain. We are not.

There is nothing, it’s just that it’s not time yet, just bring out a little gadget and you will be beyond your reach.

After the matter was decided, Ma Ming and a few others didn't waste any time and started practicing day and night. In one day, the scrapped stainless steel pipes welded alone weighed several tons.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Lang, Wang Zhendong and Ma Ming took a car to Jibei City, Jibei Province. Including the driver Sun Hu, there were six people in total.

Ma Ming and the others had to bring the tools they had handy, plus the luggage of Liu Lang and others, so there was a lot of stuff. However, the company bought a ten-seater Fengtian van some time ago, which could fit all these things.

.

The working environment of Norinco is first-rate across the country. Not to mention other things, he has bought three cars, and Liu Lang is planning to buy a bus after a while.

Jibei Province is close to Liaobei Province, and it is about more than 600 kilometers from Fucheng to Changchun, the capital of Jibei Province. As the second largest city in Jibei Province, Jibei City is located more than 100 kilometers southeast of Changchun.

From the map, Fucheng is only more than 500 kilometers away from Jibei City, but there are no direct roads or railways between the two places. We can only go to Changchun first, and then drive more than 100 kilometers to our destination.

It was already mid-January, and there were still more than twenty days before the Chinese New Year. This time everyone went to Jibei Province just to say hello to each other in advance, and it should not involve any specific projects.

With this mentality, the few people were not in a hurry along the way. They first spent a whole day arriving in Changchun, and then stayed here for two days. They had nothing to do and just had fun.

Ma and Ming have never been out of the province, and the farthest place they have ever been is Shencheng, so they were nervous and a little excited about going out this time. They were finally out of the province, and they could chat with their relatives for a while when they returned.

.

Although they are both industrial cities, the resources Shencheng has are far beyond those of Changchun. The only company that Changchun can offer is the FAW Company, especially the kind of "Great Liberation" that can be seen everywhere in Changchun.

FAW Company's contribution to Changchun is no less than the contribution of coal mines to Fucheng. One company supports a city. Similarly, two decades later, the two cities also encountered the same problem.

The coal mines in Fucheng went bankrupt, a large number of workers lost their jobs, and the entire city declined. Twenty years later, the FAW Company was also shaken by the wave of market economy. Although it was not bankrupt, it did not have its former glory.

The future fate of the two cities is similar, but the reasons are different. Fucheng declined due to coal, and the problem of coal mines is inevitable. This is not an intensive enterprise, and the technical content is low. Those who originally had tens of thousands of

The huge costs brought by the human mine will inevitably collapse in the market economy environment, and the wages of tens of thousands of people alone can drag down any enterprise to death.

But that’s not the case with FAW. Look at Fengtian Company in the island country and Volkswagen in Germany. Which one of them doesn’t have tens of thousands of employees around the world?

Automobile companies are inherently intensive manufacturing companies, which require a large number of workers in addition to technology.

FAW Company has also had its glory days. Jiefang Trucks are durable and have a shadow of "Liberation Green" on every road in the country. The engine of this truck first came from a truck in the Soviet Union. Later, FAW Company engineers

It was transformed and finally produced

On the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, FAW Company also produced the first domestically produced Hongqi car as a gift to the country. When the red flag car drove through Tiananmen, this scene became the most exciting scene at the National Day celebration that year.

For a moment, Chinese people can finally build cars themselves.

These are the brilliance of FAW. If they can continue to develop normally, after being baptized by modern technology and technology, it will be no problem to become a large company that can take the stage. It may not be able to compare with international automobile giants, but at least it can have

Completely independent core technology, it is the most basic to achieve this.

But more than 20 years later, FAW Corporation, the number one automobile company in New China, no longer has any good products. The Jiefang Truck was discontinued three years ago, that is, in 1986, and it was not on the market until the late 1990s.

This kind of car is basically no longer seen, but at that time, FAW and Volkswagen merged to form FAW-Volkswagen. The name sounds very cool, but in Liu Lang's opinion, it is a shame. A car company with the prefix "国"

Going to "agent" for foreign car brands, isn't this a shame?

Of course, FAW also tried to manufacture some brands independently, such as Hongqi cars, but the results were really unsatisfactory. Except for the imported engines, which were pretty good, the other links might not even be qualified, even though they have produced millions of cars.

A luxury car, but in the eyes of many people, this kind of car can only be regarded as a symbol and a kind of emotional sustenance, but it is not very practical.

In the final analysis, a car is a commodity. When the market does not recognize you, if you do not make changes, then a crisis will come. As a state-owned enterprise, FAW has always been ups and downs in the wave of market economy, and has not found its own position.

There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is the institutional issue. Since it is a commodity, consumers must decide. From product design to manufacturing, everything revolves around the market. It should never be determined by other factors. But state-owned enterprises

You have to obey orders. This kind of order is not issued by the market, but more from the departments above. Let a bunch of laymen decide the manufacturing of goods. It is surprising that it can succeed!

Of course, these thoughts are just Liu Lang's feelings. He can't control this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to. Unless he buys FAW for himself... then he won't buy it. His North Industries Group will definitely go there in the future.

The premise of manufacturing cars is to do the basic work first. Liu Lang's point of view is that if you don't do it, it's okay. If you do it, you have to do it the best.

Several people stayed in Changchun for two days. During these two days, Liu Lang gave Ma Ming and the others a holiday so that they could go out and have fun and buy some New Year's goods for their families.
