Reborn Industrial Tycoon

After seeing the company profile of Dongyang Co., Ltd., Li Weidong had a rough guess in his mind.

However, Li Weidong had to verify it again. So he asked: "Director Pang, is this TY-12 engine not noisy? Especially the higher the power output, the louder the noise?"

"It's normal for the engine to make noise. It's normal for the noise to be louder when the power is being output. Have you ever seen any engine whose engine speed gets quieter when the speed is higher? Besides, Qingqi's little Mulan

, the noise is not small!" Pang Yunjie opened his mouth and locked in.

Pang Yunjie's words are a disguised admission that the TY-12 engine is noisy.

"Sure enough!" Li Weidong nodded and asked: "Does this TY-12 engine vibrate more severely when it is operating?"

"How can a motorcycle engine not vibrate? After all, the power is there, and it is normal for it to vibrate." Pang Yunjie admitted in disguise that the TY-12 engine was vibrating.

Li Weidong then asked: "The size of the TY-12 engine should not be small, right?"

"Things related to engine parameters are all commercial secrets!" Pang Yunjie paused and then said, "Any engine with good power must be large in size."

Li Weidong asked again: "The fuel consumption of this TY-12 engine should not be low, right?"

"With good power and high torque, it doesn't matter if it burns more oil! The motorcycle can burn more oil!" Pang Yunjie curled his lips.

In the 1990s, the price of oil was one yuan a liter. Anyone who could afford a motorcycle would definitely be able to burn oil.

Li Weidong nodded slowly. The answers to these questions had confirmed his thoughts.

Pang Yunjie, however, looked impatient, and said, "Director Li, why are you always finding fault with us? Sometimes you say it's noisy, sometimes it shakes a lot, and sometimes it wastes fuel. In this world

Is there a perfect engine? Even a Honda or Yamaha motorcycle engine can still find a lot of faults!"

"Director Pang, don't get me wrong, I think there is something wrong with Dongyang Co., Ltd., a manufacturer." Li Weidong said calmly.

At this time, Li Weidong had already guessed what kind of trick Dongyang Co., Ltd. was playing, so he naturally became much calmer.

Pang Yunjie glared: "What's the problem? Such a good and cheap motorcycle production line is hard to find even in a lantern!"

"Director Pang, the motorcycle production line you introduced is quite cheap. It only costs three million US dollars. Don't you realize that this motorcycle production line is too cheap? There is a saying that cheap is not good.

The price is so cheap, be careful of fraud!" Li Weidong reminded kindly.

Pang Yunjie snorted coldly and said: "Yes, the price of three million US dollars is quite cheap for a motorcycle production line. The reason why the price of this production line is so low is entirely due to our negotiation team

The result of hard work!

Dongyang Co., Ltd.’s original quotation for this motorcycle production line was US$5.5 million. Our factory’s negotiation team conducted several rounds of negotiations with Dongyang Co., Ltd. before lowering the price of the production line to US$3 million.”

Li Weidong nodded in sudden realization and thought to himself, no wonder Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is so keen on introducing Jinyang Co., Ltd.'s motorcycle production line. The main reason is that it is cheap!

It is precisely because of the low price that Taifeng Motorcycle Factory fell into the trap of Jinyang Co., Ltd.

Li Weidong thought about it again, this is also a normal thing. Those who are deceived are most likely to be cheap!

Many people who are greedy for cheap buy fake and shoddy goods. When others tell them that the product is defective, they will also defend what they bought. This matter is not new no matter what era it is in.

"I was really sold, and I was still helping them count the money!" Li Weidong sighed softly and said: "Director Pang, do you really think that Japanese manufacturers are so stupid and let you cut off the price of 2.5 million?

?The reason why their production line is sold so cheaply is because..."

At this point, Li Weidong's words suddenly stopped, and a question popped up in Li Weidong's mind:

"What good will it do to me if I tell Taifeng Motorcycle Factory the truth?"

The next second, Li Weidong had another idea in his mind.

Li Weidong stopped talking halfway, and Pang Yunjie continued the conversation and asked, "Why?"

"It's because this motorcycle production line is relatively old." Li Weidong changed his voice and continued: "The engine in the early 1970s must have been developed in the 1960s. It has been more than 20 years ago, and the price is of course cheap.

.Replace it with a production line from recent years. It’s impossible to get it without tens of millions of dollars.”

Pang Yunjie snorted coldly: "I thought Factory Director Li had something to talk about! It turns out he was still talking about this. As I said just now, although the production line of Dongyang Co., Ltd. is a bit old, the products produced by this production line

, not lagging behind!”

Li Weidong chuckled and stopped talking. In the end, he did not tell Pang Yunjie the truth.

The scooter production line provided by Jinyang Co., Ltd. was actually not originally used to produce motorcycles, but was used to produce agricultural tricycles.

Li Weidong didn't figure this out at first. He just instinctively felt that the data of the TY-12 engine was strange, until Li Weidong saw the information from Jinyang Co., Ltd.

The Japanese version of the information shows that Jinyang Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturing company, and its main business is agricultural machinery manufacturing.

After learning that Jinyang Co., Ltd. produces agricultural machinery, and considering that this TY-12 engine was produced twenty years ago, Li Weidong suddenly made a bold guess in his mind, that is, this TY-12 engine is actually

Developed for agricultural tricycles.

Agricultural tricycles are a very unique existence, whether in the field of agricultural machinery or transportation. Because before Chinese companies entered this field, agricultural tricycles were almost a blank field, and no one was involved in it.

Use something like this.

Agricultural tricycles are the product of technological progress in internal combustion engines. However, in the agricultural development process of Western developed countries, agricultural tricycles have never been used as a link.

Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, the West entered the era of mechanical agriculture very early. Western farmers also eliminated livestock early and used cars and tractors.

After that, the internal combustion engine continued to improve. The power of the internal combustion engine became better and better, and the size became smaller and smaller. Engines that could be used for agricultural tricycles were slowly born.

In other words, by the time engines could be installed on agricultural tricycles, Western industrial countries had already entered the automobile age, and people had already used various trucks to transport agricultural products. Naturally, there was no need to develop and produce three-wheeled motorcycles.

Therefore, in European and American countries, there is no such thing as an agricultural tricycle, and they do not need such a thing at all.

As for the poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, their agriculture definitely needs agricultural tricycles, but the industrial base of these countries is too weak and they cannot develop such things as agricultural tricycles.

Therefore, for a long time, agricultural tricycles have become a product that developed countries are unwilling to make and developing countries cannot make.

Among developing countries, China is the only one with a complete industrial system. Therefore, the ability to use tricycles has become a great artifact for Chinese farmers. It has been enduring for 20 to 30 years, and it has even been continuously upgraded and transformed, and new products with various functions have been launched.

.

Compared with the West, Japan is a relatively special existence among developed countries. After World War II, Japan recovered ten years later than Western countries, and the development of agricultural machinery was naturally ten years later.

Moreover, before World War II, the degree of mechanization of Japanese agriculture was far inferior to that of Europe and the United States, so the Japanese had studied agricultural tricycles and launched corresponding products.

It was from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. Japan's industrial development separated Japan's agriculture from primitive manpower and livestock and began to use a large number of agricultural machinery. In addition, the engines at that time were becoming increasingly mature, and agricultural tricycles also

It came into being.

It is a pity that Japan has a world-class automobile manufacturing industry. At the same time as the rise of agricultural tricycles, Japanese automobile manufacturers began to produce mini trucks. In other words, agricultural tricycles and mini trucks appeared on the Japanese market almost at the same time.

Japan's minivan technology is still very good, cheap and practical, especially Subaru, the minivans produced by Subaru are definitely among the best in the world.

The income of Japanese farmers is not low. Since there are cheap and easy-to-use mini trucks, why buy agricultural tricycles? Four wheels are not better than three wheels! Subaru’s mini trucks are not good!

The emergence of agricultural tricycles and mini trucks at the same time meant that agricultural tricycles were destined to be a short-lived phenomenon and quickly disappear from the Japanese market within a few years.

When Li Weidong was a trainee in Japan, he once repaired a Subaru minivan and learned about this history from an older car repairman.

So when Li Weidong learned that Jinyang Co., Ltd. was another company that produced agricultural machinery, Li Weidong immediately realized that the data of the TY-12 engine was basically the data of the agricultural tricycle engine.

After careful consideration, this TY-12 was launched in the early 1970s. It should have been developed in the 1960s, which happened to be the era when Japan developed and produced agricultural tricycles. Li Weidong was almost certain that this TY-12 engine was

An engine developed in the 1960s for the production of agricultural tricycles.

So Li Weidong asked a few more questions, such as engine size, fuel consumption, noise, etc. The single case reported by Pang Yunjie further confirmed his idea that the TY-12 engine is indeed the engine of an agricultural tricycle.

The role of agricultural tricycles is to transport goods, and the engines of agricultural tricycles are also developed for transporting goods. Therefore, in terms of certain specific data, the engines of agricultural tricycles are indeed better than those of ordinary motorcycles.

However, the engine of an agricultural tricycle is obviously not suitable for use on household motorcycles, but if it is really used, it is not impossible, but it just cannot meet the performance standards of household motorcycles.

According to Li Weidong's inference, Jinyang Co., Ltd. originally had a production line for agricultural tricycles twenty years ago. Since agricultural tricycles have been eliminated from the market in Japan, this production line for agricultural tricycles has also been idle.

Come down.

In recent years, China has begun to introduce large-scale motorcycle production lines. Jinyang Co., Ltd. learned that Taifeng Motorcycle Factory was going to introduce a scooter production line, so it decided to use waste.

Jinyang Co., Ltd. transformed a useless agricultural three-wheel production line, added some parts such as automatic clutches, and turned it into a scooter production line. Then it bullied Taifeng Motorcycle Factory into not knowing how to sell the transformed production line to Taifeng.

Peak Motorcycle Factory.

With the technical level and industrial capabilities of Japanese companies, it is not difficult to transform the tricycle production line into a scooter production line.

It is precisely because this scooter production line was renovated from an old production line twenty years ago that Jinyang Co., Ltd. is willing to accept the quotation of three million US dollars.

After all, if this production line was left in Japan, it would eventually become scrap metal. Now, with a little improvement, it can be sold for three million U.S. dollars. Jinyang Co., Ltd. is naturally happy.

In Li Weidong's view, if it costs three million US dollars to purchase an agricultural tricycle production line, it is not a big loss. There is a huge market for agricultural tricycles in China.

However, if you buy it as a scooter production line, it is equivalent to buying a scrap production line.

Scooters are light motorcycles used in cities, while agricultural tricycles are developed for rural transportation. A scooter modified from an agricultural tricycle must be a failed product without even thinking about it.

"No wonder in my memory, Taifeng Motorcycle went bankrupt in two years. It was really a small gain and a big loss!" Li Weidong sighed in his heart.

Li Weidong wanted to tell Pang Yunjie his judgment, but when the words came to his lips, Li Weidong swallowed them back.

As Li Weidong thought, telling Taifeng Motorcycle Factory the truth about the matter would benefit Li Weidong?

After Taifeng Motorcycle Factory knew the truth, there were only two results. One was not to introduce this production line; the other was to continue to introduce this production line and then find Dongyang Co., Ltd. to lower the price.

From these two results, Li Weidong has no real benefits other than being able to show off and get a few words of thanks and praise.

On the contrary, if Li Weidong didn't make this matter clear, he might actually be able to get some benefits from Dongyang Co., Ltd.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong smiled and sighed, and said to himself: "Director Pang, I'm sorry. If you had been kinder to me just now, I might have reminded you a few more words. Now, I can only sacrifice

Your factory has come to be my stepping stone!"

At this time, Li Weidong has already begun to plan how to get benefits!
