Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 240 The old man’s concerns

It was around 1 o'clock in the morning on May 27th of the lunar calendar, Beijing time, outside the bedroom door of an old man in Miliangku Hutong, Beijing.

The old man had already gone to bed. Secretary Chen was standing outside the old man's bedroom door, holding a telegram from Germany in his hand, with a joyful smile on his face.

"Chief, there is news from Wang Shi." Secretary Chen raised his hand, tapped it three times and said softly.

Although I knew it was hard for the chief to fall asleep, the chief had promised to wake him up as soon as there was news from Germany no matter what time it was.

"Come in."

The old man's tired voice came from the room, and Secretary Chen opened the door. "Chief, good news, there is news from the German Consulate. Wang Shi and the others won the championship in the European Heavy Truck Track Competition." Secretary Chen said briefly.

The old man's time is precious, and Secretary Chen wanted to end it with a few words, but the old man originally thought that if Wang Shi and the others could get the third place, it would be the best result. When he heard that they got the first place, he suddenly felt sleepy.

Nothing.

"Is there a mistake?" The old man's first thought was that there was a misunderstanding.

This is Europe with the highest technological level.

On the entire planet, in terms of technological level, especially automotive technology and manufacturing technology, Europe is ranked second, and no one dares to be ranked first.

And Wang Shi and the others won first place in an away game, how could they not surprise the old man.

There is still a certain gap between China's automobile industry technology and Western Europe, and the elderly know this very well.

"Chief, you are right, he is indeed number one." Secretary Chen replied with a smile.

"This boy is really good at handling things." The old man nodded and said.

In any case, getting the first place in the European heavy-duty truck competition among experts, even if there are no orders, is still an achievement, at least it will not be a failure like last time.

The heavy-duty trucks manufactured by the Chinese have performed well on the European continent, which can be regarded as publicity for the country. This is very important to legitimate China.

"It's the evening of the 26th over there, and the car show is over, right?" the old man asked.

Secretary Chen knew what the chief was going to ask, and continued: "Well, it's about six o'clock in the afternoon over there, and the auto show has ended. With the outstanding performance of our heavy trucks in the track competition, we also had 39 orders on the last day. 881010

US dollars in foreign currency, plus US$60,000 in sponsor fees and US$35,000 in toy sales, the total is US$976,010.”

The unit price of the heavy truck is US$22,590. Hanks has the sales rights of US$5,000 per year for the heavy truck toy. With 15,000 orders placed, the unit price is US$2, which is US$35,000. Plus the US$60,000 sponsorship fee from the heavy truck sponsor Gubor, the total is US$976,010.

.

"970,000 US dollars, this is a good result, and there will be more and more orders in the future. Our own cars can break out of Asia and go to the world. It is a good thing for the country from both an economic and publicity level."

Tang Dynasty, this guy can really think about it, but it’s just like Chinatowns all over the world, people know it’s a Chinese company wherever they go.

The last time FAW Jiefang failed, this time it won first place in the competition and earned US$970,000, overfulfilling the task.

"Now Tang Dynasty Heavy Truck is a key enterprise. We must focus on supporting enterprises like this that are helpful to society and the country. This is a good seedling, and we must take good care of it ourselves." The old man said.

The old man's words can be regarded as putting a protective film on the heavy trucks of the Tang Dynasty. Whoever dares to reach out or make small moves in the future will have to think carefully.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Secretary Chen secretly thought, this Tang Dynasty heavy truck will go sideways from now on.

That's right, if it can create 970,000 US dollars in foreign exchange for the country, which enterprise can't be placed in a company that is not a key target of national support?

"When will they get home?" the old man finally asked.

"This time, because everyone traveled lightly and took the land route, we may not be able to get home until the 7th or 8th of next month." Secretary Chen replied.

"There have been no production problems at the base recently, right?" the old man asked with concern.

"Everything is normal. The base is now on the right track. Even without Xiao Wang, everyone is still going to work. The sales manager Huang Lei is in charge of product sales, and sales are also increasing. Xiao Wang's lover Zhao Min is in charge of the finance."

Secretary Chen knows that Tang Dynasty Heavy Truck is now one of the enterprises that the leader cares about most. As a secretary, he is also very concerned about the affairs of Tang Dynasty Heavy Truck Production Base, especially some of the main leaders, who are also very aware of it.

"Okay, we need to maintain the daily operation of the base. If you have any uncertainties, report it to me immediately." The base contains Tang Dynasty Power Company's engine R&D center and production workshop, as well as the vehicle assembly workshop, including logistics.

There are more than 30,000 employees. The operation of the base is related to the livelihood of more than 30,000 workers and the country's tax revenue. The elderly are also very concerned about the production and life of the base.

Just one month's salary is a huge amount of money.

"By the way, don't you have any orders for Qianfeng tractors?" The old man suddenly remembered that this time, not only Tang Dynasty heavy trucks were participating in the exhibition, but also tractors produced by Qianfeng Machinery Factory.

"No."

"Okay, I got it." Things can't always be perfect, so it's already good that the heavy truck has gained something this time.

The old man nodded. After hearing what the old man said, Secretary Chen did not dare to disturb the old man's rest and left.

The next day, all major news outlets received news of Tang Chao heavy truck's performance at the European Truck Competition and the order result of US$970,000, and published this on the front page one after another.

Major automobile companies across the country have held meetings to learn from the heavy truck spirit of the Tang Dynasty.

In particular, some joint ventures that produce cars serve as a key learning target to learn from the hard work and innovation spirit of the heavy truck people of the Tang Dynasty.

In the base, the workers heard that their products had won first place in a foreign competition and had an order of US$970,000. They all walked in front of each other and saw employees from other factories who looked so awesome with their noses in the air.

It won't work, it won't work.

If they weren't employees of the base, they would have been beaten up by the crowd.

But now the employees in the base are the country's treasure. If they are injured, it will affect the production tasks and the country's foreign exchange tasks. That is a big deal.

Heavy trucks in the Tang Dynasty used assembly line operations, and each worker had a production position. If he was injured and unable to go to work, the entire production would have to stop, and he would not be able to carry around anymore.

Now, although Qianfeng Machinery Factory and the base are both industries under the same owner, they are very different.

Especially this time, the two participated in the exhibition together. As a result, Qianfeng Machinery Factory failed the exam, but Tang Dynasty Heavy Truck won 39 overseas orders, and it was from Europe. Now the workers at the base rode past Qianfeng Machinery

The gate of the factory also raised its proud head.

With the news reports, workers wearing base work clothes are now the envy of people.

In fact, it’s not like Qianfeng Tractor has nothing. At least two tractors were sold at a loss on the last day of the auto show, and the old and new tractors were sold at a fire sale for US$9,500.

On June 9, Wang Shi and his party of nine finally returned to Beijing and were warmly received by everyone.
