Reborn Industrial Tycoon

The next day, Ma Dexing took several cadres from the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and called Li Weidong, and went to the Taifeng Motorcycle Factory together.

The director of Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is named Pang Yunjie. He is in his fifties. He was a master of production in the era of planned economy and has won many honors such as model worker.

When Ma Dexing and his party arrived at the Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, Pang Yunjie had already been waiting at the door with members of the factory's leadership team.

"Welcome Director Ma to come and guide our work!" Pang Yunjie greeted him personally.

"Director Pang, we haven't known each other for a day or two, so why bother with such a big fight!" Ma Dexing said with a smile.

"It's what we should do to welcome the leaders for inspection. Director Ma, let's go to the conference room first. I'll report to you about the introduction of the motorcycle production line." Pang Yunjie said, leading Ma Dexing and others to the conference room.

.

After Ma Dexing and his party sat down, Pang Yunjie took out the materials he had prepared and began to report. There were no such things as projections in those days, so the reporting work basically relied on dry lectures, and the key content was all based on notes.

There is nothing new in Pang Yunjie's work report. It is similar to the content of the foreign exchange application he wrote before. Basically, it means that the current equipment of Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is aging and the products cannot keep up with the market. It needs to introduce new equipment and produce new products.

After conducting market research, Taifeng Motorcycle Factory believed that the market demand for scooters has always been strong, so Taifeng Motorcycle Factory decided to introduce scooter motorcycle production lines from Japan.

After a series of inspections, Taifeng Motorcycle Factory locked the scooter production line of Toyo Co., Ltd. in Japan. After several months of arduous negotiations, it finally decided to introduce this scooter production line at a price of three million US dollars.

.

After Pang Yunjie's report, Ma Dexing said a few official words such as "hard work" before getting to the main topic.

I saw Ma Dexing ask: "Director Pang, you said before that in order to avoid competition with Xiao Mulan, your production line produces medium-sized scooters, and it can also be transformed and upgraded to produce large scooters. This transformation and upgrading process

Isn’t it complicated? Is it expensive?”

"According to the information provided by Dongyang Co., Ltd., if you want to produce large scooters, you basically don't need to make major improvements to the production line. In terms of expenditure, the material cost is only two to three hundred thousand US dollars, and the rest is the labor cost of technical personnel.

Pang Yunjie answered.

Ma Dexing nodded and then asked: "Although I don't know much about motorcycles, I also know that the engine is the heart of the motorcycle. The engine used in the motorcycle you want to introduce is called TY-12, right?

What is the level of this engine in China?"

"This TY-12 engine is a product of Dongyang Co., Ltd. The advantages of this engine are sufficient horsepower, high torque, mature technology, and very good performance. It has been used stably in Japan for nearly twenty years." Pang Yunjie

He spoke.

"Director Pang, you said that the technology of this engine is very mature and has been used stably in Japan for twenty years. Doesn't that mean that this engine is a Japanese product in the early 1970s?" A voice suddenly sounded, asking.

It was Li Weidong.

Originally, Pang Yunjie only regarded Li Weidong as an ordinary clerk at the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, but when he was talking to Ma Dexing, Li Weidong dared to interrupt. This made Pang Yunjie realize that Li Weidong was definitely not an ordinary clerk.

So Pang Yunjie asked: "Who is this?"

Ma Dexing immediately introduced: "This is Director Li Weidong. Director Li's company gets orders worth tens of millions of dollars from the Canton Fair every year, and it is the star unit of our foreign trade.

You are introducing a production line from Japan this time, so there will definitely be some Japanese documents. However, the Japanese translator in our department recently took maternity leave. Director Li happens to be proficient in Japanese, so I asked Director Li to come over and act as a temporary translator.

"

Acting as a temporary translator was an excuse that Ma Dexing had thought up a long time ago. After all, Li Weidong was not a cadre of the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. It was not in compliance with the procedures to bring Li Weidong here, so Ma Dexing gave Li Weidong the status of a translator.

"It turns out to be Director Li! Director Li is really young and promising." Pang Yunjie thought Li Weidong was younger, so he still didn't take Li Weidong seriously.

"In front of seniors like Director Pang, I am just a primary school student. I still have a lot to learn from Director Pang!" Li Weidong changed his voice and returned to the previous topic: "Director Pang, you just said this

The TY-12 engine has been used in Japan for nearly twenty years, so that means this engine is a Japanese product in the early 1970s? Is my understanding correct?"

"Well, that is indeed what is written in the information Dongyang Co., Ltd. gave us." Pang Yunjie replied.

"As far as I know, domestic motorcycle companies basically stopped introducing Japanese technology from the early 1970s after 1985. Jialing, Jincheng, Wuyang and other companies have recently introduced Japanese technology from the 1980s.

The technology of the era, even Qingqi's small Mulan light pedals, are Japan's products in the late 1970s. This Dongyang Co., Ltd. engine is still in the early 1970s, isn't it a little too old?" Li Weidong said.

Pang Yunjie frowned slightly and thought to himself, Li Weidong's words were clearly making trouble. Could he be here to cause trouble?

Thinking of this, Pang Yunjie explained: "Although the technology provided by Dongyang Co., Ltd. is relatively early, it is Japanese technology after all. It is not outdated in China, and the performance of this engine is very superior. Compared with state-owned enterprises,

The technology introduced in the 1980s by other companies is no less impressive!"

"Director Pang, I think you'd better investigate this aspect clearly, and don't be fooled by Dongyang Co., Ltd." Li Weidong kindly reminded.

Pang Yunjie looked unhappy: "Director Li, there is something in his words!"

"Director Pang, don't get me wrong, I just think it's a little strange." Li Weidong said.

"What's weird?" Pang Yunjie asked.

Li Weidong explained: "I have never heard of Dongyang Co., Ltd. before, maybe I am ignorant, but Dongyang Co., Ltd. is definitely incomparable with Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki, right?

So the question arises, why is the technology of this little-known company, produced in the early 1970s, comparable to the technology of the four major Japanese motorcycle brands in the 1980s? Could it be that Dongyang

Co., Ltd.’s technical level in the 1970s has reached the technical level of the four major motorcycle brands in the 1980s? I think this is impossible!”

Li Weidong's question goes straight to the point.

How can the technology of Toyo Co., Ltd. in the 1970s be on the same level as the technology of the four major motorcycle brands in the 1980s?

If Dongyang is really so awesome, then Japan's largest motorcycle brand is Dongyang, where are Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki!

Pang Yunjie was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this problem before.

However, the TY-12 engine provided by Dongyang Co., Ltd. has been tested by Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, and the data is the same as what Dongyang Co., Ltd. said. According to these data, the TY-12 engine is indeed better than the technology of the four major motorcycle brands.

Slightly better.

Pang Yunjie pondered for a moment and then said: "As for technical matters, we still have to look at the facts. We have tested the TY-12 engine of Dongyang Co., Ltd. many times, and the data are indeed very good. Factory Li

It’s a long question, and I may not be able to give you the answer, but data doesn’t lie.”

"Is there something wrong with the test data?" Ma Dexing asked, which is what Li Weidong wanted to ask.

Pang Yunjie immediately shook his head: "There is absolutely no problem with the test. We did not just test it once, but many times. If there is a problem, the results cannot be the same every time!"

Li Weidong's brows wrinkled again.

"There is no problem with the test, that is, the data is real and valid. What is going on? Is the technology of Toyo Co., Ltd. really better than the four major motorcycle brands? Is there something hidden in this TY-12 engine that I don't know about?

science and technology?"

Thinking of this, Li Weidong asked: "Director Pang, can I take a look at what this TY-12 engine looks like?"

"No, this is our factory's trade secret!" Pang Yunjie refused without hesitation.

"Then can you describe to me what's special about this TY-12 engine?" Li Weidong asked again.

"I told you, this is a business secret!" Pang Yunjie refused again.

At this time, Pang Yunjie really regarded Li Weidong as someone who was here to cause trouble. He had already made up his mind that no matter what request Li Weidong made, he would make excuses and refuse!

This is also human nature, no one likes others to criticize them.

Taifeng Motorcycle Factory finally introduced a motorcycle production line and had already negotiated it. Suddenly Li Weidong appeared and asked questions about this production line. Pang Yunjie naturally became hostile to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong sighed helplessly and said: "Director Pang, you introduced the production line from Dongyang Co., Ltd., you must know something about Dongyang Co., Ltd.? Can you introduce the situation of Dongyang Co., Ltd.? The company profile of the partner

, this shouldn’t be a trade secret!”

It was hard for Pang Yunjie to refuse Li Weidong's request. He took out a document, handed it to Li Weidong, and said: "Director Li, this is the introduction of Dongyang Co., Ltd. in Japanese. Read it yourself!"

Li Weidong took the company profile and read a few lines before the surprise flashed in his eyes.

The next second, Li Weidong already had a reasonable guess in his mind.

"I see! I've probably guessed what kind of trick Dongyang Co., Ltd. is playing!"
