After taking care of the bus matter, Gong Wei himself called an electric three-wheeler to go home. The master who solicited customers saw him coming out of the company of "Shengguang Machinery" and laughed a lot.
Thinking that in the past he was the only one to please others, but today someone finally came to please him, Gong Wei felt extremely proud. After he joined the job, he listened to Zhou Qingfeng's advice and tried his best to move his family to Tianyang City, so that his children could go to school nearby.
The environment has changed, and the whole family has changed with it. It was only after Director Gong arrived in the city that he realized how comfortable it is to be a city dweller. In terms of transportation, medical care, education, shopping, and even leisure, the city has many more resources than the countryside.
No wonder so many people with rural registered permanent residence want to change to urban registered permanent residence and struggle to eat commercial grain. Director Gong is now enjoying the convenience of the electric three-wheeler and can go home comfortably.
"I heard that your 'Holy Light Machinery' wants to build motorized tricycles?" the solicitor asked.
"Yes." Gong Wei nodded.
"What's the difference between your motorized three-wheeler and our electric three-wheeler?"
"What's the difference?"
Tricycles are not high-tech products, and there are many factories making them. Many people in Tianyang City drive electric tricycles to transport goods and customers, and people who cannot afford taxis often take electric tricycles.
The power of electric three-wheelers comes from lead-acid batteries, and the motor power is about 500 watts, less than one horsepower. Depending on whether it has a large axle or not, its carrying capacity ranges from 200 kilograms to 1,000 kilograms. The latter is expensive and is not available on the market.
Extremely rare.
"To talk about the difference, our factory's motor tricycle has a mid-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, smooth driving, and a power equivalent of about 2,500 watts. It has a large axle to carry the load and has a transportation capacity of more than 500 kilograms."
Gong Wei travels around for the company, so he knows some details about his own finished products. Zhou Qingfeng's motor tricycle is aimed at the rural market, and its power and chassis are much better than electric tricycles.
"But what's the biggest difference?" Gong Wei asked, "Master, how much does it cost to buy this electric three-wheeler?"
"It's several hundred yuan." The solicitor refused to elaborate.
Oh... Gong Wei didn't take it seriously and said casually: "The ordinary model in our factory costs about 300 yuan a car."
"How much?" the solicitor suddenly braked and shouted.
Gong Wei was so scared that he was not thrown out, so he clung to the car to steady himself. He did not expect that the solicitor would be so fierce, "It's about three hundred yuan a car."
"A motor vehicle that can pull half a ton of cargo only costs 300 yuan?" The solicitor clearly didn't believe it. "No way, my battery-powered three-wheeler costs more than this. If you install a gasoline engine, it will cost more than 600 or 700 yuan."
Gong Wei was not from the engineering department, so he was really not sure about the cost and selling price of his own products. It took him a long time to say, "Master, please send me home first."
The solicitor kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible, how can you do it so cheaply? If a three-wheeler that can haul half a ton of cargo only costs 300 yuan, I would buy it from your company right away. This is even comparable to a small four-wheeler."
, it’s more profitable to attract goods than to attract people.”
"Uh..., we seem to have a four-wheeled version. I heard it has more horsepower, a bigger carriage, and can pull one and a half tons. The price is about one thousand yuan." Gong Wei added.
Squeak...
The sudden brake appeared again, and the solicitor turned his head and stared at Gong Wei, "The one with four wheels only costs one thousand yuan? How come your company's products are so cheap?"
Is it very cheap?
Gong Wei has also lived in the countryside for a long time. He knows that several models produced by 'Shengguang Machinery' are indeed cheap. But why they are cheap, he doesn't know. "Haha..., it's probably a promotion."
"Promotion? When will your cars start selling?"
"Probably, like, maybe, in a few months."
"Where to sell it?"
"We have a dock warehouse in the city, over the Taiping Bridge."
The solicitor said "hmm" and wrote it down. The electric three-wheeler continued to drive.
Halfway through, Gong Wei's phone rang in his bag. He took out the 'Twenty-Three' phone and answered the phone, "Hey, Mr. Zhou. I'm just about to go home. If you need anything, just say it. Okay.
Okay, I will definitely rush there tomorrow."
Today's phone bills are super expensive, and there are still two-way charges. The call was very short, and there was not much conversation at all. When Gong Wei picked up the phone, he found that the solicitor was looking at him in the rearview mirror as if he were an alien.
When he got out of the car to pay, the other person was still staring at his business bag and said faintly: "This is Big Brother. Your company is really rich. How many months of salary will it take to afford it?"
"Hey hey hey...it's a welfare package issued by the company, and the phone bill is subsidized every month." After Gong Wei said that, he turned around and left, pretending to be cool and running away.
"Can this also be used as a welfare payment?" The solicitor froze on the spot for a while, probably not in a good mood all day.
At the same time, in the renovated machine repair factory building in Nantou Township, the first assembly line of 'Shengguang Machinery' was undergoing final debugging. More than a hundred workers were busy going back and forth, burning the midnight oil.
Professor Zheng Ping took several students to inspect the entire production line, frowning. The scale of the entire factory was too small and the production line could not be rolled out, which greatly affected production efficiency.
The floor of the factory building is quite clean, and the tools and work equipment are basically in place. However, the quality of the workers is not high and their proficiency is not high enough. Many of the work stations are occupied by students from the Metallurgical College, but they have little experience.
Fortunately, what Zhou Qingfeng launched was a motorized tricycle with the lowest technical content. The factory in Nantou Township was the final assembly workshop. The parts and components from Tianyang City were transported here, and the final assembly process was completed step by step.
Tires, frame, engine, chain, transmission, battery. A motor tricycle also has a dozen or so large parts, all of which are assembled by hand, and the production speed is average.
"Now we can load about three vehicles a day, and the small batch trial production will be completed by the end of January. Next month we should be able to increase it to ten vehicles a day." Professor Zheng was actually quite happy when he said this.
Unless you have actual experience, you would not know that even an assembly plant is complicated and troublesome. It takes three or four months to build a factory from scratch, which is enough to make people proud.
In an open space outside the venue, several trial-production motorized three-wheelers were undergoing a round-the-clock high-intensity test. Zhou Qingfeng left the field in person, constantly accelerating and decelerating, driving back and forth in simulated slopes, mud and potholes.
.
Since it is a small local factory, it is enough to obtain a production license issued by Tianyang City. Officially, no one comes to cause trouble. The only trouble is that the production line is too backward and the production capacity is a joke.
After driving continuously for more than ten hours, the performance of the motorized three-wheeler was pretty good. Zhou Qingfeng jumped out of the car, walked to Professor Zheng, and said with a wry smile: "The output is too small. The small amount is simply ridiculous."
"If you want to produce more, you must have a large enough factory building, and you need to add a lot of equipment. I have been to Japan to visit foreign mining machinery. Their factories are big and beautiful, and we cannot compare."
"If we can't compare, we have to compare. Even if we are just producing the most unskilled tricycle, we still need a modern production line."
"Then we have to spend money to buy land and build a factory. Now we can only count ourselves as workshop-style production. The next step is to build a small factory. We must first invest millions."
"Grandma is a bear. A million is a million."
"If you want to grant land in the city, you have to use foreign exchange to facilitate it."
"It's foreign exchange again, this is really annoying!"
