Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 406 Planning for the future

The newly established industrial park in Qinghe City, the loader factory and the Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory were the first batch of companies to enter the park.

The two companies are right next to each other. The most convenient thing is Li Weidong. You don't need to take a car to go back and forth between the two companies, you can just go through the small door in the middle.

The agricultural machinery factory adjusts the production line much faster than the loader factory. After the equipment was safely completed, Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory only took one week to complete the debugging of the production line equipment.

In the production workshop, with a burst of applause, the first agricultural vehicle produced in the new factory successfully rolled off the production line.

Li Weidong personally cut the ribbon, and the new factory area of ​​Fukang Factory was officially put into use.

Li Weidong then summoned a group of leading cadres to the conference room and began to deploy the next development plan of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Li Weidong sat in the middle and said: "The agricultural vehicle alliance we formed seems to be very effective so far. Those companies that produce tractors basically no longer cause trouble. There are even many tractor companies that also purchase rear axles from us.

Assembly, intends to produce agricultural vehicles.

Therefore, the production line of the rear axle assembly needs to be expanded. In the future, the old factory will mainly produce rear axle assemblies, and the production of agricultural vehicles will gradually be transferred to the current new factory. Of course, the research and development of the rear axle assembly will also need to be

make persistent efforts.

The technological development of our country is very rapid. There are many technological breakthroughs every year, and a large number of new technologies are applied to actual production. Our rear axle assembly technology must keep up with the pace of this development and constantly optimize performance.

, we must always maintain the top level in the country!"

Li Weidong is well aware of the importance of R&D, so he invests a lot in R&D at Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory. 50% of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory's profits were eventually invested in R&D by Li Weidong. This proportion is even for technology companies in European and American countries.

It is also a very scary number.

If you include the cost of expanding production scale and relocating to an industrial park, Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory did not make much money for Li Weidong. After all, all the money he made was invested in it.

The reason why Li Weidong is willing to invest so much is to ensure that the Fukang factory's rear axle assembly takes an absolute leading position in the country.

With the continuous development of technology, it is only a matter of time that the rear axle assembly of agricultural vehicles is mastered by other companies. Li Weidong has no way to prevent other companies from conducting research and development, so he can only expand his technical advantages through research and development.

What's more, Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory also sells rear axle assemblies to other companies. For most agricultural machinery companies, as long as they can continue to buy new models, why should they spend money to develop new models?

Li Weidong also took this opportunity to cultivate a scientific research team for agricultural machinery. This scientific research team may not have the ability to develop new products, but it is still capable of carrying out some modifications or imitations.

After talking about the rear axle assembly, Li Weidong continued: "In terms of the research and development of agricultural vehicles, in addition to continuing to develop traditional agricultural three-way vehicles, we also need to develop special agricultural three-way vehicles."

"Director, what is a special agricultural tricycle?" Du Jiahai, the deputy director next to him, asked subconsciously.

"Special vehicles are naturally used for special purposes. Cars have special vehicles, such as oil tankers, refrigerated trucks, etc. Of course our agricultural vehicles can also have special vehicles!"

Li Weidong paused and then continued, "For example, the cargo box on the back of an agricultural vehicle can be converted into a small concrete mixer. If someone is building a house, they can just drive over and mix sand, gravel, cement, etc. on site.

Another example is to add four ground piles to the cargo box at the back and install a small truck crane. Wouldn’t the agricultural vehicle become a small crane? There are many tasks in rural areas that require lifting and lifting, and manpower is very difficult.

To solve the problem, this small crane plays a role.

In addition, you can also install a water container, install pesticide spraying equipment, and convert it into a pesticide spraying vehicle; install a fertilizer spreader to turn the industrial and agricultural vehicle into a fertilizer spreading vehicle; and install a feed spreader.

The baling machine becomes a feed baling truck.

There are many specific uses. As long as it can be used on cars, we should give it a try and see if it can also be used on agricultural vehicles."

What Li Weidong said is one of the development paths of agricultural vehicles in future generations.

In the future, equipment such as mixers, cranes, pesticide sprayers, fertilizer spreaders, sprinklers, and manure suction machines will all be installed on agricultural vehicles.

When carrying out some special operations in rural areas and cannot afford large-scale special operation equipment, this small agricultural vehicle comes in handy.

For example, when building a house, you need to transport building materials to the second floor. A small crane converted from an agricultural vehicle can not only save manpower and time, but also speed up the progress of the project.

In addition, for special operations in certain crowded areas in the city, it is more convenient to use small agricultural vehicles.

For example, when spraying pesticides on green belts, if a large pesticide spraying truck drives up and occupies half of the road, it will inevitably affect traffic. However, if a three-wheeled vehicle is used to spray pesticides, the size is much smaller and the impact on traffic will be much smaller.

The profits from this kind of specially modified vehicle are very considerable.

For example, a big-brand agricultural tricycle sells for 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. If it is converted into a sprinkler truck, it can be sold for about 15,000 yuan. If it is converted into a mixer truck, the price can increase to about 35,000 yuan.

It is precisely because the profits are very large that there are many agricultural machinery companies in later generations. They do not produce agricultural machinery. Instead, they purchase agricultural machinery, modify it, and then sell it. There are also some companies that produce agricultural vehicles and specialize in the production of special agricultural vehicles.

Li Weidong knew that this kind of special agricultural vehicle was very suitable for China's national conditions, would definitely have a wide time difference, and would be very profitable, so he decided to make a special agricultural vehicle.

However, Du Jiahai had a bitter expression on his face. He frowned and said: "Director, we should be able to make these things like pesticide spraying trucks or fertilizer spreading trucks through research and study. But the mixer truck you mentioned is not yet available."

With a small crane, this is a bit difficult. We have always made agricultural machinery, but we don’t know how to make mixers and cranes!”

"You can rest assured about this. Although our Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory cannot make these things, the one next door can!"

Li Weidong pointed in the direction of the loader factory and continued: "Your two companies have cooperated before to install hydraulic dump devices for agricultural vehicles. Can we continue to cooperate now?"

Du Jiahai nodded suddenly: "That's right. Loader factories can make such a large loader. Small construction machinery should not be difficult for them."

Being able to cooperate with each other and share technology is one of the reasons why Li Weidong moved both companies to the industrial park.

There are many similarities between agricultural machinery technology and heavy machinery technology.

Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory is only a county-level enterprise and has limited technology. This is also the biggest stumbling block restricting the development of Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Although the technology of the loader factory is not top-notch in the domestic heavy machinery industry, it is more than sufficient when used in Fukang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

Moving the two companies together can be regarded as a way for Li Weidong to integrate assets.

But Li Weidong has no intention of merging the two companies.

Because the loader factory has the qualifications to produce engineering machinery, and the agricultural machinery factory has the qualifications to produce agricultural machinery. If the two companies are independent, they can retain the production qualifications. However, if the two companies merge, the production qualifications may have to be reapplied. It is definitely the same

A troublesome thing.

Among other things, the qualifications of agricultural machinery factories to produce agricultural machinery can bring a large amount of agricultural machinery subsidies. The state cannot easily approve the production qualifications of this kind of subsidized industry.

…

After the meeting at the agricultural machinery factory was over, Li Weidong went straight to the loader factory next door to continue the meeting.

The relocation of the loader factory has not yet been completed and the new factory has not yet been put into production. Li Weidong has begun to lay out the future development direction.

"In the past year, our province has started the construction of several road projects, so our loader sales are also very good. However, we cannot be complacent. After all, this wave of benefits is driven by the government's road construction.

It’s a good time for the industry to catch up. Not only do we have access to meat, but our competitors, heavy machinery factories, also have access to meat!”

Li Weidong paused and then said: "I predict that in the next two years, the infrastructure construction trend in the province will continue. In the future, there will be more and larger infrastructure projects, so our factory is guaranteed to be profitable.

problematic.

But don’t be happy too early. Our factory also has shortcomings, that is, the products are too single. Our current main product is only the 40-type loader. The products are too single and the ability to withstand risks is insufficient. So we must develop new products.

products will do.

At present, I think there are two products worth making, one is a forklift and the other is an excavator. These two products have a wide range of uses and the market demand is also great. If these two types of equipment can be made,

Not only can it bring us profits, but it can also strengthen our ability to resist risks."

Factory director Zhang Tao immediately said: "Chairman, it is not difficult to make this forklift. Before our factory was restructured, we also made forklifts, but we did not continue to do so, mainly because of the lack of market."

"What kind of forklift did you build before?" Li Weidong asked.

"It's just an ordinary forklift." Zhang Tao replied.

"How much is the load?" Li Weidong asked again.

"What we make is a 6-ton forklift. Among ordinary forklifts, it is considered a medium-sized model! The quality of the forklifts we made at that time was not bad, but we didn't sell many of them." Zhang Tao answered.

A forklift with a load of 6 tons is the most common forklift seen outdoors. The load of ordinary forklifts is often less than 8 tons, and some use diesel and some use gasoline.

Ordinary forklifts have no special requirements for the use environment. Whether it is raining, snowing, cold or hot, they can be used as long as the engine can be started. The disadvantage is that the exhaust emissions are large and the noise is loud.

Those with a load of more than 8 tons will be classified as heavy-duty forklifts. Heavy-duty forklifts are all diesel-type and are generally used by docks or steel companies. The top-level heavy-duty forklifts can have a carrying capacity of more than 50 tons.

Another type of forklift is the container forklift, which is a forklift specially used for container handling. Since containers are often stacked relatively high, container forklifts are also divided into pushers and cranes. In terms of technical content, container forklifts

Much taller than an ordinary forklift.

With the technology of the loader factory, it is estimated that heavy-duty forklifts and container forklifts cannot be built.

Li Weidong had a rough understanding of his previous experience in producing forklifts, and then said: "We are not making ordinary forklifts this time, we are making small forklifts, with a load capacity of less than 3 tons, and the width of the working channel should be about 3 meters.

It’s best not to exceed 3.5 meters.”

The width of the working aisle of an ordinary forklift is generally within 5 meters, and the width of the working aisle within 3.5 meters means that it is a relatively small forklift.

Zhang Tao thought for a while and said: "If the load is only within 3 tons, then the size of the entire set of mechanical equipment used will also be reduced. The working channel is limited to within 3.5 meters, which is possible, but such a small load

, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult to sell!”

"What we are building this time is a warehousing forklift, which is mainly used to transport warehouse goods. The space in this warehouse is not very spacious, so we need a compact and flexible forklift. If it is too big, it will not be able to move around in the warehouse.

"

Li Weidong paused and then said, "In fact, in foreign countries, there have long been specialized storage forklifts, but their storage forklifts basically use batteries. The battery technology in our country cannot drive forklifts, so we only have

I can continue to burn oil."

"Chairman, the storage forklift you mentioned will have a market abroad, but it may not have a market at home! Which company doesn't have a bunch of porters now, so why not use specialized forklifts?" Zhang Tao said.

"The porters are fine for moving small scattered items. But if you want to move large items, would you let the porters try? A bag of dozens of kilograms can be carried by a porter. A heavy item of several hundred kilograms can be carried by a few more."

Individuals can lift it, but what about one or two tons of goods? How do you ask porters to lift it? What's more, there are some fragile items, and manual handling is not as safe as a forklift."

Li Weidong continued, "And the reason why I chose the warehousing forklift is also related to the city's planning. I received the exact news that the city leaders decided to vigorously develop the logistics industry in Qinghe City and strive to build Qinghe City into a logistics industry."

capital.

Our Qinghe City has the Beijing-Tianjin Economic Circle to the north, the Yangtze River Delta Economic Circle to the south, and the most important port in the north to the east. The geographical advantages are very obvious, and it is very suitable for the development of the logistics industry. If the logistics industry is really

If it develops, our city can become an important commodity distribution center in the north in the future.

Since we want to do logistics and commodity distribution, we cannot focus on three points. Warehousing and transportation, and handling goods will become a very important part of it. Therefore, I think that the demand for warehousing forklifts in our city will be very large in the future.

We rely on mountains and rivers, so naturally we want to build a warehouse forklift!"

Everyone in the conference room nodded. Everyone knew that Li Weidong was related to the above. Since warehousing forklifts are closely related to the city's future development plan, this business can definitely be done.

However, Li Weidong only told what he knew about the future. He actually did not receive any news.

Li Weidong then asked: "In addition to forklifts, I just mentioned excavators. Has our factory made excavators before?"

Zhang Tao shook his head: "No, the technical content of excavators is higher than that of forklifts, so we have never made that thing. As far as I know, there are only about thirty companies in the country that can produce excavators."

Li Weidong thought for a while and replied: "Some of the information I got back in Russia should be used for excavators. Let's try it first! If it really can't be done, I will go to Russia again.

Ask Alexander to buy a set of excavator technology.

However, Russia’s excavator technology is not as good as Germany and Japan. It would be great if we could introduce excavator technology from Germany’s Liebherr or Japan’s Komatsu excavator technology!”

Li Weidong worked in second-hand machinery and equipment in his previous life. He knew that if foreign excavator technology was introduced, Liebherr's 9 series excavators and Komatsu's PC series excavators would be good candidates.

There is no rush to introduce excavator technology. It is like stealing from a chef. At the very least, you have to know how to cook. Today's loader factories have not manufactured excavators, so it is still time to introduce excavator technology from abroad.

.

Putting the excavator matter aside, Li Weidong asked again: "Are there any new bidding projects from government departments in various places recently?"

The main reason why loaders are selling so well is because the government is engaged in infrastructure construction. Therefore, the main customers of loaders are also government infrastructure projects. If loader factories want to get a foothold, they must always pay attention to government bidding projects related to infrastructure construction.

Zhang Tao took out a folder that he had prepared long ago, handed it to Li Weidong, and said: "Chairman, I am about to report this matter to you. These are the bidding projects from various places that I have collected. Among them, Yanzhou City

There is a road expansion project and a water pipeline project in Qidu City, both of which will use loaders, and I have marked them on them."

Li Weidong nodded, opened the folder, and looked at it carefully.

In addition to the road expansion project and water pipeline project, another bidding project has also entered Li Weidong's sight.

"Dongdao City Environmental Sanitation Bureau wants to purchase sanitation trucks. This project costs tens of millions. It can be done!"
