Chapter 140: Competition is vital

"Qin Guan, do we really want to distribute the technology of this heavy truck to other factories?"
The daytime crisis passed, the crowd dispersed, and they all went back to find their factory leaders. In fact, their factory leaders were staying in Grassland City, at a certain corner, waiting anxiously for a response.
Therefore, starting from tomorrow, factory leaders from other factories will come one after another.
On the afternoon of this day, the 4447 factory held this meeting. The topic of the meeting was the plan Qin Guan mentioned in the morning.
"Yes, once this car is produced by our factory, it will definitely be able to monopolize the country's heavy-duty trucks. Our factory will become the country's pillar enterprise, and we will develop greatly." Director Sun said.
Even Director Sun had doubts about Qin Guan's suggestions.
This is a good opportunity for your side. Now, do you want to give it to other factories?
If you look at foreign countries, there are almost only one or two pillar auto companies in a country. The others have disappeared. What about Han?
As far as trucks are concerned, there are more than a dozen large and small manufacturers everywhere.
Now, there is a good opportunity to make the 4447 factory the largest car factory, isn't it great?
This is a major change for the 4447 factory, and it is a watershed. How can it be easily shared with others!
In the past, everyone was brothers. After that, everyone will be competitors. Everyone knows the characteristics of factories under the market economy.
"Yes." Qin Guan said: "We cannot monopolize, because monopoly will lose vitality."
In fact, there is competition in foreign countries, and they are still very fierce. Their markets are open to each other and they compete for export. Now, their trucks can only be produced and sold in China. Therefore, if your own family is the dominant one, That would not make progress.
What are the consequences of this monopoly? Just look at Xiali. When only they can produce, the people who buy the car carry the money and have to line up for ten and a half months. The workers in the factory always go home from get off work and carry benefits and fruits. , Vegetables, rice noodles, grains and oils, the result?
After a few years of monopolization, private automobile factories came up. The cars produced were of good quality and low prices. Slowly, Xiali lost its market competitiveness. In the end, it was half dead. The new models launched were all so compact, without any. According to the market research, I thought that producing a car would sell it.
This is the result of monopoly and will lose vitality.
The same is true for the current heavy trucks. If one side completely monopolizes the domestic truck market, it will lead to reluctance to make progress, sleep on the existing technology, and fail to develop positively, and then it will never be able to make progress.
After all, I may not stay here forever.
Only when competition can be vigorous, we have to train our competitors. Now, if we bring in other manufacturers and produce together, then everyone is on the same starting line.
In this process, competing with each other, constantly researching and developing new products, and finally making progress together, in this way, can also promote the development of the country's automobile industry.
Qin looked at the problem and had a big picture.
Now, it’s not easy to persuade these people in front of you, but if they disagree, it’s okay, because the entire project was planned by Qin Guan. If they disagree, then Qin Guan’s personality is a big deal to find individual factories, such as The Yellow River Factory is definitely willing to hire Qin Guan as the factory director.
"Director Qin, we have not started to make money yet, so we must first train a large group of white-eyed wolves?" On this question, Director Wang expressed his attitude: "Isn't this adding to our own obstacles?"
"Competition is the driving force for progress." Qin Guan said: "If there is no competition with the 6617 factory, would we find a way out and switch to the production of trucks? Let's complete the higher-level tasks step by step."
"Everyone, now we have prototype cars and technical data. However, there is still a way to go when it is actually produced. There will be many problems in the process." Qin Guan said: "Now, all factories Gathering together will help coordinate the technical capabilities of the various plants. Everyone will tackle key problems together, which can greatly accelerate the progress and put our trucks into production as soon as possible."
After all, we are a tank factory, and we still have one of the most critical problems. We do not have an engine production line. Therefore, if we want to produce heavy trucks as quickly as possible, we need to make great efforts.
No auto factory produces all parts, there will be a large number of downstream suppliers, and now Qin Guan's intention is to train some of these factories into its own downstream suppliers.
All parts of the engine, generators, starters, etc., all need to be purchased. Now, everyone is divided and made a fortune. Isn’t it good?
"Then we will still have to face the cannibalization of these factories in the future. Our competitors were supported by us." Director Wang continued.
"So, the full set of power chains cannot be given to them. They must be distributed." Qin Guan raised his second point: "For example, today I have named three factories as final assembly plants. The final assembly plant is only responsible for final assembly. They need to purchase engines, gearboxes and axles externally, and these are then distributed to three suitable companies."
Qin Guan said that, the eyes of Director Sun at the scene finally lit up.
Qin Guan still left behind and formed a heavy-duty automobile industry joint venture company. That would certainly not allow a single factory to produce everything.
Even at the Yellow River Plant, which manufactures Yellow River heavy-duty trucks, the engines are purchased from a marine engine plant.
In this way, the final assembly plant just builds a car shell, and then the remaining parts are distributed to many downstream manufacturers. The downstream manufacturers only drill one of them and do not have the production capacity of the entire vehicle.
Everyone worked together to produce the most suitable heavy truck for the market.
Due to the decentralization, there are not many technical difficulties that various factories have to overcome.
"What about our factory?" Director Sun asked.
"Our factory, as the main body of this joint venture company, in the early stage, also first configured as a final assembly plant to produce complete vehicles. After we sell trucks and obtain profits, we will vigorously develop the production of other accessories, especially the entire power chain, including engines. , Gearboxes and axles must be produced by themselves."
Other car factories only produce part of it, and they can't master other technologies. As the birthplace of the technology, they own all the technologies. Therefore, they can produce all other parts by themselves in the later stage. If there is something dirty in the future Occurs without being caught by a part.
Qin Guan from later generations, of course, knew some nasty things on the road of heavy truck development. After the separation that year, the Huanghe Plant suddenly had no engines available.
In later generations, each heavy truck plant is developing its own three major parts. After decades of development, almost a qualified heavy truck plant can independently produce engines, gearboxes and axles.
"Old Sun, what do you think?" Unable to persuade Qin Guan, Director Wang asked Director Sun, after all, Director Sun is the real manager!
"Let's report it." Director Sun said.
