Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 367: Vertical and Horizontal (please subscribe)

Pang Yunjie obviously had no choice.

The Taifeng Motorcycle Factory was already half-dead, so Pang Yunjie was very satisfied to be able to drink soup and extend the life of the Taifeng Motorcycle Factory.

Li Weidong also took this opportunity to successfully resolve the engine production license issue.

The reason why Li Weidong was able to obtain the rear axle assembly production line back then was because the Taifeng Factory wanted to introduce a scooter production line. Li Weidong was able to take advantage of the Taifeng Factory.

Now Li Weidong conveniently helps Taifeng Factory, which is equivalent to returning a favor to Taifeng Factory.

Moreover, Li Weidong sells ready-made products, not production technology, so Li Weidong is not worried that Taifeng Factory will become his competitor.

The core technology for producing agricultural vehicles is the rear axle assembly. As long as Li Weidong holds the production technology of the rear axle assembly in his hands, he will not be afraid of rebellion at the Taifeng Factory.

To put it another way, if one day Li Weidong becomes dissatisfied with the Taifeng factory and directly cuts off the rear axle assembly of the Taifeng factory, then the Taifeng factory will be unable to make a meal without rice and will not be able to produce anything.

Li Weidong's decision to sell the finished rear axle assembly to Taifeng Factory was not a whim decision. In his plan, selling the finished rear axle assembly was a matter of time.

The market for agricultural tricycles is very large. Of course, Li Weidong cannot be alone. With the continuous promotion of agricultural vehicles, it will be a matter of time for other companies to share this market.

Nowadays, some companies have begun to imitate agricultural tricycles, but the technology is not up to standard, and they will be manufactured for a while.

However, with the advancement of technology, or some large agricultural machinery manufacturers with strong technology have begun to enter this market and invest in research and development, it is not easy to break through a rear axle assembly technology.

Rather than facing powerful opponents in the future, it is better to sell the finished rear axle assembly to other manufacturers now, build an industrial alliance by the way, and then be the leader yourself. By then, the standards of this industry will also be in place.

Li Weidong came to formulate it.

Even if a large manufacturer wants to share this market in the future, Li Weidong, the leader, will have absolute say.

Moreover, directly selling the finished product of the rear axle assembly can also eliminate the idea of ​​​​independent research and development by many manufacturers.

There is a saying called "Building is worse than buying", which is very common among enterprises. Do not spend money and time on research and development yourself, and even if you spend money and time, you may not be able to complete the research and development. It may be a waste of work.

From a purely economic point of view, if you can directly buy a ready-made rear axle assembly product, it will definitely be more cost-effective than spending money and time on research and development. But from a long-term perspective, you still have to do research and development yourself to be reliable and not be fooled by others.

Neck stuck.

However, how many entrepreneurs in China have a long-term vision? Most businessmen still focus on immediate profits. As long as they are not forced to get stuck, a few of them will do research and development in a down-to-earth manner!

Li Weidong can conclude that as long as he sells rear axle assembly products to various agricultural machinery companies, at least in the next few years, they can stop the idea of ​​independently developing rear axle assemblies.

As more and more manufacturers produce agricultural tricycles, they can quickly expand the agricultural tricycle market. For Li Weidong, who has the core technology of agricultural tricycles, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

In any industry, as long as companies hold key core technologies, they will not be afraid of competition.

Originally, Li Weidong planned to make the layout slowly, but this time he was reported, so Li Weidong decided to use this as an opportunity to build an industrial alliance for agricultural tricycles first.

The reason why Fukang Agricultural Vehicles was reported was simply to tamper with the tractor and steal the tractor market. In this process, local protectionism also played a role in fueling the flames.

Local governments will not sit back and watch their local tractor factories collapse, so they will naturally use some protection measures. Although it is not blatant, it is still easy to stumble on agricultural machinery subsidies.

If agricultural machinery factories in various places can also produce agricultural tricycles, then the problem of local protectionism will naturally be solved.

Since agricultural tricycles can also be produced locally, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh, so it is impossible for the local government to go to a tractor factory to deal with agricultural tricycles.

When agricultural tricycles become truly popular, local protectionism will no longer be able to influence them!

…

The engine production license was directly handed over to Shen Congzuo, and the subsequent affiliation procedures were also handled by Shen Congzuo.

Li Weidong made a report to Meng Weiguo, giving a brief introduction to the production license, which also showed that Fukang Agricultural Vehicle's engine is not a three-no product.

Previously, Meng Weiguo only suppressed the matter temporarily. Now that Li Weidong has obtained the production license, Meng Weiguo can also explain it to his superiors.

After returning to Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory, Li Weidong summoned several key cadres in the factory and announced that he would expand the production line of agricultural vehicle rear axle assemblies.

For a long time to come, Fukang Factory's rear axle assemblies will not only be used by itself, but also sold to Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, so the output of rear axle assemblies must be increased.

In addition, Li Weidong also plans to find several more agricultural machinery companies to sell rear axle assembly products to them. By the way, he will also build an industrial alliance for agricultural tricycles, which also requires an increase in production capacity.

Du Jiahai and others were immediately overjoyed when they learned that the production capacity of rear axle assemblies was to be expanded. This meant an expansion of the scale of the company and an expansion of power in their hands. Everyone wanted to manage more people under their control.

And this rear axle assembly is not sold for free. Taifeng Motorcycle Factory paid for the motorcycle engine production license for the rear axle assembly. Other manufacturers who want the rear axle assembly naturally have to pay something.

So Li Weidong discussed with Du Jiahai and others for an entire afternoon which of his peers had technologies worth exchanging.

"The percussion water well drilling rig from Dongyue Agricultural Machinery Factory is quite good, especially the up and down reciprocating drill bit, which has better results in harder rock formations and pebbles."

“The belt-type shovel-throwing machine of Jingou Agricultural Machinery Factory is a good thing. Their shovel-throwing machine uses chain plate type longitudinal lifting chain technology, which is highly adaptable to various soils and can even be converted into a potato harvester. ."

"The two-way plow from Jinxing Agricultural Machinery Factory can turn left and right at the same time..."

"The small horizontal-bar engine from Kongzhou Engine Factory is good, with low noise and strong power..."

After counting in detail, Li Weidong discovered that this rear axle assembly can really get a lot of good things!

…

In the next few days, Li Weidong has been on a business trip. He shuttled between many companies and wanted to use special engines and rear axle assemblies for agricultural vehicles in exchange for some technology.

The entire 1990s was probably the most difficult years for state-owned enterprises. Those who could survive would basically have to eat meat every day in the future. Those who could not survive would either go bankrupt or undergo restructuring, and then disappear into the long river of history.

In this environment, survival has become the top priority for many companies. As for profitability, that is something to consider after surviving.

Li Weidong's agricultural tricycle has obviously become a life-saving straw for many companies in trouble.

The leaders of the company are not fools. After a little investigation, they will know that the market prospects for agricultural tricycles are very broad. Coupled with agricultural machinery subsidies, this is definitely a profitable project. It is not an exaggeration to say that the harvest will be guaranteed despite droughts and floods in the next few years.

In order to obtain special engines and rear axle assemblies, those companies that were in trouble had no choice but to let Li Weidong take advantage of them. Knowing that this was an unfair deal, they had to offer their expertise with both hands.

Soon, Li Weidong's agricultural vehicle industry alliance gathered seven or eight companies.

…

After agricultural three-wheelers were promoted throughout the province, Dongyue Tractor Factory was greatly impacted, especially the emergence of agricultural five-wheelers with larger loads, which greatly divided the tractor market.

Tractor sales plummeted, making factory director Cui Donghai feel like an ant on the hot pot, so he bought an agricultural tricycle and wanted to seriously study what capabilities this agricultural tricycle could have in taking away the tractor market.

However, when Dongyue Tractor Factory dismantled the agricultural tricycle, it really discovered a problem, that is, the engine used in the agricultural tricycle turned out to be a Sanwu product.

This discovery made Cui Donghai ecstatic. He knew that he could take this opportunity to drive agricultural tricycles out of the market. So Cui Donghai immediately reported to the Municipal Agriculture Bureau that Fukang agricultural tricycles used three-no engines.

Cui Donghai then contacted his colleagues and jointly reported Fukang Agricultural Tricycle to the Provincial Department of Agriculture.

However, not long after, the Provincial Department of Agriculture came out with news, saying that after investigation, it was found that the engine of Fukang agricultural vehicles already had a production license, so it could not be regarded as a three-no product.

Although Cui Donghai didn't know what means Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory used to obtain the engine production license, but since it was the investigation result given by the provincial department, there was no doubt that it was wrong.

It has become impossible to drive agricultural tricycles out of the market through reporting, so Cui Donghai can only hope for local protectionism. As long as the local agricultural machinery department is willing to take action to block agricultural tricycles from agricultural machinery stations, the effect will be the same

of.

So Cui Donghai came to the Municipal Agricultural Machinery Bureau and planned to complain to the leaders of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau.

"Leader, since that agricultural tricycle appeared in our city, our tractor sales have been cut in half. If this continues, our factory may not even be able to pay wages!"

"Boss, we cannot allow agricultural tricycles to continue to be sold in our city. Otherwise, our factory will be closed down in less than two years!"

"Leader, the general environment this year is not good to begin with. If our factory cannot sustain it, there will be no place in the city to relocate the more than a thousand employees, right?"

"Leader, this Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory, which produces agricultural tricycles, is not an enterprise in our city. If they come to our market to sell their products, it is equivalent to taking away the jobs of our local enterprises! You can't just sit back and ignore it!"

"Leader, it is not our Agricultural Machinery Bureau that has the final say as to which agricultural machinery the agricultural machinery stations in our city will sell! Can you help us by asking the agricultural machinery stations to stop selling agricultural tricycles? This will give our tractor factory a way to survive!"

Cui Donghai kept pretending to be pitiful, but the leader of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau opposite asked curiously: "You tell me that the sales of agricultural tricycles are very good?"

"Why does he care about the sales of agricultural tricycles?" Cui Donghai was confused, but he still nodded: "Yes, this agricultural tricycle has taken away at least half of the market of our tractor factory!"

"It seems that this agricultural tricycle is really a good product!" The leader showed a playful smile.

"Who is he from?" Cui Donghai felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The leader of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau seemed to be praising an agricultural tricycle with his expression and tone.

I just heard the leader of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau say: "I just received an application from Taifeng Motorcycle Factory. They also want to produce agricultural tricycles. They hope to apply for a special agricultural machinery subsidy. I was still hesitant whether to approve it. Since

This agricultural tricycle is a very good product, so I have no worries!”

"What? Taifeng Motorcycle Factory also wants to produce agricultural tricycles?" Cui Donghai was shocked. He came to complain, but unexpectedly a competitor appeared.

In an instant, Cui Donghai realized that relying on local protectionism might not work.

Cui Donghai's Dongyue Tractor Factory is a local enterprise, and his Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is also a local enterprise. Since everyone is a local enterprise, there is no local protectionism.

"A Fukang agricultural vehicle is enough for me. If you add a local Taifeng motorcycle factory to the mix, will my tractor still be sold?"

Thinking of this, Cui Donghai immediately said: "Boss, I know something about agricultural tricycles. The rear axle assembly used in this product is specially made and cannot be copied by ordinary manufacturers! The Taifeng factory is currently half-dead.

In this state, how can you develop the rear axle assembly of an agricultural tricycle? Don’t be deceived by them!”

"Taifeng Factory specifically mentioned the rear axle assembly in a written report. They did not make the rear axle assembly themselves, but purchased qualified finished products directly. So there should be no problem with the quality."

The leader of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau said.

"There is also an engine. The engine of an agricultural tricycle is different from that of an ordinary motorcycle!" Cui Donghai added.

"Their engines are also purchased as finished products," the leader of the agricultural machinery factory replied.

"Agricultural tricycles only have these two core technologies. If they all rely on buying, then the Taifeng Motorcycle Factory will become an assembly factory! Leader, this is not possible. The Taifeng Factory was so brilliant back then, how could it be reduced to an assembly plant?

Where is the assembly plant?" Cui Donghai said immediately.

"I also know that the Taifeng factory was very glorious back then, but what a brave man! You just said that this year's general environment is not good, and it is better to be an assembly factory than to go bankrupt! At least we can keep the two thousand yuan of the Taifeng factory

The job of the employees." The leader said.

Cui Donghai sighed with a complaint on his face: "Taifeng Factory has jobs, but what about the jobs in our factory?"
