His father's Li's Bicycle Company also provided many special versions of bicycles to the army. You must know that this bicycle is a patented product and cannot be sold anywhere else except their Li's Bicycle Company. But just like this, the military
They are also trying their best to lower the price, and the requirements are very high.
With the same production capacity, you can earn 100 yuan by producing civilian bicycles, but you can only earn 10 or 8 yuan by doing military business.
His father had a long stalemate with the military procurement officials and wanted to increase the price, but the military people would rather not use the bicycle than increase the price.
In the words of the purchasing staff at the time, the combat power of our Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty was already severely surplus. Having this bicycle was the icing on the cake, and it didn't matter if we didn't have it.
In short, if you want to buy it, buy it. If you don’t, you will be thrown away. At worst, you will have to wait for more than ten years until the bicycle patent expires before using it.
In the end, his father was forced to compromise!
There is no way, the military procurement is so strong, you don’t have to do business with the military, but if you want to increase the price, don’t even think about it!
In the words of the army boss, procurement funds are the result of more than a million army soldiers cutting back on clothes and dieting. It is not easy for us army soldiers to buy some equipment without even eating. You still want to raise the price, think about money.
crazy.
Every time the military makes a purchase, it is always a goddess of silk bubbles. The money given is very small and the requirements are very high. What do you want if you want it for just a few hundred dollars?
It’s still too dark to finish...
Difficult to serve!
Manufacturers only place orders for the military because the military orders are large enough. Although the profit per unit is low, if the quantity is large, the profit is barely acceptable.
No matter how bad things go, we can still maintain the operating rate!
However, some manufacturers are not very willing to deal with the military, especially some manufacturers that specialize in small batches and high prices. The number of purchases is small in the first place, but the military is still trying to keep prices low and does not allow cutting corners, so they are too lazy to do it.
.
However, there is another type of company that really likes orders from the military!
That is, manufacturers of high-tech products like orders from the military.
Because in other ordinary orders, the military is very strict, but when it comes to high-tech orders, it is really generous!
As long as you let the military see a glimmer of hope, even if you don't even have a design drawing, the military dares to spend money on just a concept, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of R&D contracts will be awarded in minutes.
After high-tech weapons are produced, the military will not bargain too much with you and will usually purchase them at a high price.
Hangzhou Power Machinery Company's cars were so expensive that the military directly purchased a hundred of them. Although the price was reduced, they still cost 5,000 each.
This is also a manifestation of the military's support for high-paying technology industries.
There is no doubt that Li Yubo's two-wheeled gasoline vehicle is definitely a high-tech product and is definitely a support project of the military.
This is also the reason why Li Yubo attaches great importance to it and led people to wait at the factory gate early this morning.
The factory itself is nothing to look at, and even the laboratory is nothing to look at. Qixiang Machinery is just that.
What we really saw was the only two-wheel gasoline car.
In order to prove the safety and reliability of this car, Li Yubo once again drove it himself.
When Yao Liang and the others saw this small two-wheeled gasoline vehicle running with a somewhat harsh noise, their eyes widened.
Even though I had read the documents before and even knew every data, it was not as shocking as seeing it in person.
The major representative of the Cavalry Director even murmured: "This is what our cavalry wants!"
In order to gain the attention of the military, Li Yubo also went out of his way to understand the military's needs. During the demonstration, he not only ran on flat ground, but even deliberately made a dirt road or even a bumpy road.
Although walking on these roads is very slow, you can still walk!
Li Yubo didn't need to waste any words. Just the demonstration completely conquered Yao Liang and the others. The representative of the Cavalry Director directly suggested to Yao Liang in private that they purchase this kind of two-wheeled gasoline vehicle as soon as possible and assign it to the experimental mobile unit as soon as possible.
Conduct various experiments to explore future mobile combat methods.
It is even claimed that this two-wheeled gasoline vehicle is the war horse that the cavalry has been chasing for decades!
Let’s see, you don’t need to feed it, just pour some gasoline and you can run. It can adapt to various environments, is not afraid of tropical diseases, and has low road requirements. It is most suitable for tropical areas like Nanyang or other messy places.
Sure enough, as soon as the demonstration ended, Yao Liang said directly to Li Yubo: "Manager Li, what is the price of your car and what is its production capacity? When can it be delivered!"
In fact, no matter what the answer to the above question is, the order will definitely be placed. It is just a question of how to lower the price in the end and how much the quantity is. These are not his problems, Yao Liang's, but the affairs of the subsequent purchasing department.
He only came here to initially determine the equipment possibilities of this kind of car.
And now he is very sure that this car can be equipped, at least the mobile unit can definitely be equipped for testing.
As for large-scale application, don't expect it for the time being. According to the level of a car costing several thousand yuan, this kind of two-wheeled vehicle is estimated to cost several thousand yuan. The Army cannot equip too many.
After Li Yubo heard this, he immediately said: "We can produce frames and other spare parts by ourselves, and the output is not small, but we cannot produce this gasoline engine for the time being!"
Yao Liang also thought about this problem. Such a small and broken factory probably cannot mass-produce engines.
After thinking for a while, he said: "This is no problem. I can personally contact the three major weapons companies on your behalf and ask them to do OEM work for you. However, you still need to discuss the specific matters with them. I will not be involved personally!"
The military will definitely not be able to participate in detailed negotiations, so it would be good to contact them on your behalf.
However, Li Yubo still said with a bitter look on his face: "This... is not just a matter of production capacity. I don't have the patent authorization for the gasoline engine yet, so I can't produce it for commercial use!"
Hearing this, Yao Liang was completely speechless!
You have developed a gasoline engine, but you don’t even have a patent authorization...
If there was no patent before and no technical information was obtained from the Royal Institute of Technology, how did you come up with this gasoline engine?
He was particularly curious about this issue. He knew how difficult it was to make a gasoline engine. Among the dozen or so manufacturers with the most advanced technology in the country, Hangzhou Power Machinery Company was the only one to make one. Li Yubo was the second to make one.
.
So he asked: "If there is no patent authorization, you should not have obtained the technical information from the Royal Institute of Technology. So how did you design this engine?"
