Li Xuewu greeted him politely and then asked him why he was there.

The other party saw Li Xuewu directly and knew that today was the exhibition time of the Red Star Factory. He must be very busy, so he stopped pretending.

"We learned that Hongxing Factory has purchased Hongyan trucks, but we didn't know..."

"I know about this. Hongyan 261Q is the most powerful one."

Li Xuewu saw that the other party stopped talking in the middle of what he said, so he picked up the words and continued talking.

"You may not know that I was in charge of special vehicles at the Hongxing Factory from the beginning, so I approved the purchase of these two vehicles."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh! That's a coincidence——"

Tang Rongxuan's eyes lit up, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "I would like to ask, if you just mentioned that you want to change the chassis purchaser, do you have any opinions on the cars of our factory?"

"In other words, what kind of chassis standards does Hongxing Factory need?"

"First of all, I have to explain to you the current status of special vehicle manufacturing at the Red Star Factory."

Li Xuewu said: "We have the technology, the market, and even the ability to build production lines."

"But we lack the necessary energy to produce truck chassis, and there is no need to spread the stalls like this."

He spread his hands and gestured: "The Red Star Factory only does complete assembly and core components. The rest is left to the supply chain."

"This is one, and the other is market demand."

Li Xuewu looked at him and emphasized: "I just mentioned special vehicles during the explanation. In fact, we have other business needs, which are engineering vehicles."

"Such as excavators, bulldozers, graders, road rollers, muck trucks, etc..."

Hearing Li Xuewu talk about this, Tang Rongxuan's eyes sparkled. Isn't this the partner that Sichuan Automobile needs?

But before he could fantasize too much, Li Xuewu poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"After talking about the current situation and the market, let me tell you why we need to invite bidding for the chassis."

Li Xuewu explained very seriously: "This time we want to use the supply chain conference to find all the chassis that need to be purchased from outside and achieve mass production in professional factories."

"In other words, the prerequisite for obtaining the chassis purchase order from the Red Star Factory is to join the supply chain platform?"

Tang Rongxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what you mean?"

"Exactly, it's a must."

Li Xuewu nodded, looked at him and said, "If we don't join the supply chain, we won't be able to achieve comparative procurement."

"Whether it is a special vehicle or an engineering vehicle, our factory belongs to the tertiary industry. Do you know what this means, right?"

Without waiting for Tang Rongxuan to nod or shake his head, he said directly: "We cannot send purchase orders to you through the Ministry of Industry. This is not in line with the development ideas of our factory."

"Can you tell us about this?"

Tang Rongxuan nodded at the table and asked humbly: "Why can't we cooperate through the First Machinery Department?"

"The Trade Management Center's bidding plan is for more than three projects, which means that supply chain procurement must ensure quality and production."

Li Xuewu looked at him and said bluntly: "What if there is a quality problem when purchasing the chassis from your factory through the First Machinery Department?"

“I can communicate and coordinate!”

Tang Rongxuan sat up straight and said: "We are brother units under the industrial system. Any problems can be solved through coordination."

"Yes, we can coordinate, but we don't want to go to such trouble."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and explained: "Through the cooperation with the Trade Management Center, if your products have quality problems, you will not be able to get the payment. Since the three companies are producing at the same time, I am not afraid of you breaking the contract."

Just such a sentence immediately stunned Tang Rongxuan. He didn't expect that cooperation could be guaranteed like this.

"It's the same thing the other way around." Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "We placed the order and you completed it with quality and quantity. If we break the contract, our payment will be gone."

"This..." Tang Rongxuan frowned and asked, "How is the payment guaranteed?"

"Red Star United Savings Bank, Hongxing Factory, as the main body of Tianjin Trade Management Center, is a commercial bank built in cooperation with Dongcheng Credit Union, including trade protection."

Li Xuewu naturally elicited this explanation, which also made the other party's shocked expression deepen again.

Hongxing Factory has its own commercial bank, which is scary or not!

"If I want to place an order with the Trade Management Center, I have to cooperate with them to complete the bidding work," Li Xuewu explained: "After signing the contract, the payment will be transferred to the supervision account, and you can start production."

"Understood--"

Tang Rongxuan took a breath of air-conditioning. This whole thing is connected with each other. It really doesn't have anything to do with the Machinery Department.

He is not worried about Red Star Factory defaulting on its debt. How can such a large supply chain platform steal their car chassis?

What he was thinking about now was what he could bring to Sichuan Automobile if he joined the supply chain platform.

First of all, he had to consider this large order from Hongxing Factory. He cherished his time and asked directly: "Deputy Director Li, what do you think of Hongyan Automobile's chassis?"

"200 and 250 horsepower are amazing, but -"

Li Xuewu's words were roundabout and he gave up before Tang Rongxuan could feel happy.

Under Tang Rongxuan's surprised and worried eyes, Li Xuewu said sincerely: "Hongyan cars are still hard to get rid of the roots of counterfeiting."

"Moreover, the counterfeit technology is also unqualified. The power has dropped, the fuel consumption has increased, and the body quality has also increased..."

The more he talked, the more Tang Rongxuan sweated more and more. With so many shortcomings, it seemed like they were all useless.

Li Xuewu views Hongyan Automobile this way, is there any possibility of cooperation between the two parties?

"CQ261 has a highway load capacity of 10 tons and a towing capacity of 15 tons; an off-road load capacity of 6 tons and a towing capacity of 10 tons, with an average fuel consumption of 50/100 kilometers."

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "CQ261Q/25 has a highway load capacity of 40 tons, towing 64.5 tons, and an average fuel consumption of 84/100 kilometers."

He grinned slightly and described: "Although it is a special vehicle and an engineering vehicle, its fuel consumption is really too high."

"I know, I know-"

Tang Rongxuan twitched his lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip with some embarrassment, and asked: "There is still a gap compared with foreign automobile manufacturing technology."

Of course he needs to be more modest. The Red Star Factory has channels for external technology introduction, which is most intuitively reflected in fuel consumption.

"If we want to be competitive, our fuel consumption must be reduced by at least half."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "Engine technology must be updated. This is a tiger lying in the fuel tank drinking oil."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This..."

Tang Rongxuan took a long breath, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You mean, Red Star Factory has the technology in this area?"

He thought that since Li Xuewu had traveled such a large circle, he must have technology in hand and wanted to change their territory.

But unexpectedly, Li Xuewu shook his head calmly and said no.

At this moment, Tang Rongxuan was a little stunned. What a joke! Without you, why are you talking to me? What a fool!

"Although we do not have heavy truck engine technology, we have advanced manufacturing processes."

Li Xuewu smiled slightly and said: "I wonder if you have ever understood CNC lathe technology."

"Does your factory have CNC lathes?" Tang Rongxuan was suddenly startled, looked at Li Xuewu and asked in disbelief: "Isn't that what the Mechanical Research Institute is doing..."

"No, it's not the technology from the Mechanical Research Institute."

Li Xuewu shook his head again and said: "Our factory acquired Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory, which is the technical reserve of the No. 1 Machinery Factory."

"No wonder..." Tang Rongxuan nodded clearly, then frowned and said: "But as far as I know, there seems to be no mass production of CNC lathes in China, right? Have you already completed a technological breakthrough?"

"No, our factory's original machining foundation is not as good as Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory."

Li Xuewu once again denied the other party's guess. In psychology, this is called bullying, and it is a means of gaining trust by denying the other party.

Otherwise, Li Xuewu is so damaged that he will give you a project while chatting.

"However, our factory has channels for technology introduction." He smiled confidently and said, "I can guarantee that if your factory really plans to innovate in technology and production, we will definitely be able to provide CNC lathes."

What is the difference between machined engine parts and CNC lathe machined parts?

It’s too much to go into details, and I can only talk about it relatively.

When it comes to mass production, CNC is definitely more advanced than manual labor. Because of the control of precision, humans cannot maintain absolute precision in mass production activities.

Look at the great craftsman, the one who rubs the poached eggs with gunpowder. If you ask him to rub three thousand eggs a day, he will be exhausted and unable to do it.

Then again, the shovel in his hand is more precise than the machine. Why?

Because slow work yields meticulous work, one of the sports cars that I built was probably a GTR. The engine was made by hand. Only a few units were built in a year. Can you say that manual work is not as good as CNC?

In the industrial age, especially consumables, there is no need to be so sophisticated, it is just a matter of relatively improving the technical level.

At present, Sichuan Automobile Plant has not yet implemented assembly line production, and all auto parts come from its own branches.

Of course, it also includes core components such as engines and gearboxes.

What Li Xuewu told him was to concentrate on doing big things and spend money wisely.

Get rid of the burden, leave the parts to the supply chain for production, and turn around to conquer engine technology.

Sichuan Automobile Plant is a professional factory. If you ask Li Xuewu for technology, isn't that the opposite?
