reborn industrial empire

Please give me a little more energy, everyone, we will return to normal three updates tomorrow.

************

"What? You have already completed a journey of 200,000 kilometers?"

Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but be surprised. These people were really crazy. In just two months, they actually drove a assembled car like this for a full 200,000 kilometers. They were very interested in every kind of power.

The assembly has been fully tested.

"That is."

When Liu Xiaoliang heard this, he became excited. This period can be said to be his happiest days. He drove around everywhere every day. He even drove to Inner Mongolia specifically to go for a ride in the desert there.

One lap, all kinds of wild things, can be regarded as a racing driver's addiction.

"Because we don't have a prototype car, the engines are installed on these broken Jettas, so the main purpose of this test is to check the vibration, noise, performance and other aspects of the engine during operation.

At the same time, I also ran it to better match the cvvt and dvvt technologies, and how to better match these technologies with the gearbox."

Liu Xiaoliang is not running around blindly. During this period of time, he has been thinking about cars and Jin Xiaoqiang's guidance. He can be regarded as a semi-professional.

"Oh? Are the 20,000 kilometers, 50,000 kilometers, 70,000 kilometers, 100,000 kilometers, and 200,000 kilometers of testing completed?"

Jin Xiaoqiang asked casually.

"Well, it's all done. As for the mileage assembly, after running so much, the data has been written down. Haha, you must know that just to run these miles, the gas money will cost no less than 100,000 yuan.

This is all sponsored by Uncle Jin."

Liu Xiaoliang said with a smile, not to mention that car-making is a costly business. Before each new car is launched, various experiments must be conducted. The amount of money spent on these experiments alone every year is countless.

Recorded in billions.

Jin Xiaoqiang and the others come from completely wild backgrounds, but so far they have invested no less than a million dollars in these engines.

This is thanks to the fact that Jin Xiaoqiang completed the design, and thanks to the manufacturing, they have such a factory at home, which makes production very convenient.

So the bulk of their expenses so far are the purchase of raw materials, expenses incurred in experiments, labor costs, etc.

Otherwise, just to achieve the current required investment, I am afraid it would not be less than tens of millions.

You must know that if you follow the formal approach to manufacture an engine, at least more than 150 employees will be required to participate, including 28 engineers, 20 draftsmen, 35 engine mechanics, 8 electronic experts, 20

Machinists and assemblers, 4 system engineers, 6 bench test technicians, 15 people in purchasing, production and inspection, and 15 people in management.

This is the staffing configuration of an ordinary automobile manufacturing company in manufacturing engines. But now Jin Xiaoqiang relies on his own golden fingers and has thirty or forty people in the factory who are both production technicians and assemblers.

It is a miracle that workers with multiple identities as mechanics can assemble so many powertrains.

Among them, Jin Xiaoqiang can be said to have made the greatest contribution. He alone acted as an engineer, draftsman, mechanic, semi-electronics expert, and system engineer.

As for the rest, it was completed by Liu Xiaoliang, Ding Weizhong, and Yang Dingwei.

Now, several engines have been basically finalized. All that's left is to figure out how to expand production capacity and produce these products with greater precision.

But the first thing to do now is to recruit troops. Otherwise, it will be almost impossible to complete the work that a car factory can complete with just relying on the current grassroots team.

Alice looked at the ugly cars in front of the dilapidated warehouse and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could this be the car the boss said they wanted to produce?

Isn't this too ugly?

Alice has always lived in Hong Kong and has never been to the mainland. Of course she will not see such an ugly Jetta in Hong Kong?

Jin Xiaoqiang happily gathered with Ding Weizhong, Liu Xiaoliang and others to discuss these powertrains, talking about the achievements and shortcomings.

According to Ding Weizhong and others, the performance of this engine is indeed good, but now due to some material problems, the engines they produce will have serious aging problems after 150,000 kilometers, such as the crankshaft that runs hard.

, there are also some gearbox gears that will suffer from aging, cracks, fractures and other problems after 150,000 kilometers, so now it is time to make a fuss about the materials of the engine.

However, Jin Xiaoqiang is not in a hurry now. He has a lot of production materials on hand and can produce more advanced special steel for automobiles at any time. When the time comes, he will not be afraid that he will need to import this aspect and be stuck. For them

Cost control is also very beneficial.

However, Jin Xiaoqiang knew very well that it was not appropriate to take out these materials now, because even if they were taken out, they would not be produced now.

After all, their factory is now mainly engaged in the business of wheel accessories. In the past two years, through various relationships, his father has obtained many orders from Huazhong Automobile and Nanyang Automobile Factory, and some orders have even been scheduled.

Three years later.

At present, the factory's production capacity is still insufficient. How can it be possible to restructure everything and help him produce car engines?

Moreover, the director of this factory is currently Wang Weiguo. I dislike him very much, but my father has no intention of touching him, so I can't act rashly.

After all, this guy has worked in the factory for a long time and is very familiar with the workers below. If he is dismissed hastily, Jin Xiaoqiang is afraid that this guy will sow discord among the workers and cause them to cause trouble.

Moreover, Qu Zhiming, the manager of the purchasing department, is obviously working with Wang Weiguo. If Wang Weiguo is fired now, the two of them might get together and cause trouble.

Therefore, if the project was to be changed to production at the gear factory, there would definitely be a lot of resistance. After Jin Xiaoqiang thought about it, he simply decided to start construction and production at the steel factory.

Anyway, the factory over there is currently idle, and the workers there are also on vacation, and they have to be paid, so why not ask them to come back to work as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a headache. The entry threshold for China's cars is really high enough. If you don't have an admission permit, how will you enter the car market?

And it is precisely this issue of admission certificate. If there is no admission certificate, how can you start recruiting troops?

Is it difficult to tell those who come to apply for jobs that we will definitely be able to get the admission pass and make them happy? How many talents can we find in this way? After all, everyone is not a fool.

Such a name is unfair, but it is difficult to attract truly useful talents?

Eh? By the way, the automobile market requires an admission permit, but the engine and powertrain market does not seem to require an admission permit, right?

Then build the powertrain part yourself first, and then plan to enter the automobile market step by step.

Regarding the issue of entering the automobile market, Jin Xiaoqiang is not in a hurry. Nanyang City was the old heavy industry center of China, and there used to be dozens of large and small automobile manufacturing companies here.

Some make passenger cars, some make cars, and some make agricultural locomotives. However, after years of survival of the fittest, the only ones left that can breathe are the Huazhong Automobile Factory, which cooperates with BMW.

If Jin Xiaoqiang remembers correctly, in October, several car factories will enter bankruptcy or apply for auction. By then, as long as he can get hold of one of them, he will have a birth certificate to enter the car market.

.

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaoqiang felt even more confident.

Since we can't set up an automobile factory now, we should first put up the frame and then start with the powertrain part of the engine and transmission.

That afternoon, Jin Xiaoqiang went to his family's abandoned steel plant. This steel plant was actually the batching workshop of Nanyang No. 1 Machinery Factory, and it was actually separated from their gear factory by a big road.

Later, the Nanyang Machinery Factory was split up several times, and this batching workshop became a steel plant. Unfortunately, bad luck has caused it to be basically suspended.

At noon, Jin Xiaoqiang called Yu Fei and asked him to help invite a few technical personnel with real materials from the Nanyang Planning Bureau to come over and see how to plan.

Yu Fei was not polite and directly helped to invite a few technicians. In the afternoon, Jin Xiaoqiang took these technicians and Alice and went straight to the steel plant.

Nanyang No. 1 Machinery Factory has a glorious history of more than 20 years, so the area of ​​the original batching workshop is really not small, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres. The original refining workshop alone is

There are more than a dozen, and at its peak annual steel production can reach millions of tons.

Now the factory has gone bankrupt and the leaders have left, leaving only four to five hundred workers, old and young, waiting for work at home, and a backlog of steel in more than a dozen warehouses.

The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang brought a few planners here was to ask them to design a drawing for him. This place would become the heart of his automobile empire in the future, so the early layout was not sloppy at all.

The powertrain department of an automobile involves more than a dozen or even dozens of laboratories, not to mention refining workshops for the special steel required for automobiles.

Several people responsible for design and planning were also very good at it. They quickly measured the area of ​​the factory area and then divided the factory area into several key parts according to Jin Xiaoqiang's requirements.

The southwest part of the factory will be used as a refining workshop for special steel, while the east part is the powertrain design part of the car, which is divided into the engine electronic control and emission laboratory, engine technology laboratory, diesel engine laboratory, transmission and

Power system matching laboratory, body engineering laboratory, interior decoration laboratory, chassis design technology laboratory, interior electrical instrumentation laboratory, automotive noise and vibration laboratory, and finally the automotive assembly laboratory.
