Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 257 Difficult Equipment

Market research, channel price research, etc. before the launch of new products generally take more than two months. There is no Internet big data to support this, so it may take even longer. Wang Shi knows this.

"Director Cheng, how long will it take for you to get the results of the investigation? I need your department to give me an approximate time." Wang Shi asked.

Cheng Xianghong now has six subordinates, all of whom are professionals in this field.

This is the first task given by Wang Shi since the establishment of the marketing department. Cheng Xianghong must do the task well. Hearing Wang Shi's question, he replied: "It will take at least two months to make a useful one.

An insightful market research report is impossible without in-depth investigation."

"We still have to go to various provinces with developed heavy industries across the country to investigate, Mr. Wang, as you know, but it takes up a lot of time on the road, so it will take at least two months." Cheng Xianghong said.

"I don't need you to conduct surveys on market competition and channel prices. As long as you conduct surveys on user demand for new products, I can't give you so much time. I will give you a month at most. Time is money. I

I'll give you the fastest transportation subsidy, whether it's by plane or something, you decide for yourself, and I'll reimburse you when you come back..." When Wang Shi heard this, the day lilies were already cold in two months.

"Okay, we'll try our best."

"It's not as much as possible, it's a must." Wang Shi said, "Everyone has to wait for your report to come out and formulate a production line. If the demand is large, a new production line will be set up. To open a new production line, new workers will need to be recruited, etc.

The follow-up work can only be implemented after your work is completed." Wang Shi said.

Cheng Xianghong heard Wang Shi's words and finally agreed.

Cheng Xianghong was a very active person. He agreed on the spot and left the meeting. He led his subordinates to assign manpower to start the investigation.

Wang Shi doesn't care how it is arranged. Wang Shi only cares about the results.

"Wang Shi, our technical department has made technical upgrades and improvements based on the feedback from the service department, and the results are now available." said Xing Lizhong, director of the R&D center.

"I'll go over and take a look after the meeting is over." Wang Shi said. Some technical things are kept confidential and are not convenient for others to know.

Who knows if there are any commercial spies sitting here.

Wang Shi requires the R&D center to develop new products while also taking into account feedback from the service department from the front line to optimize the product.

The R&D center will make further optimization and improvements based on the frequently failed parts of Tang Dynasty diesel engines fed back by the service department and based on the description of the failures.

As the heavy trucks of the Tang Dynasty became bigger and stronger, the technology research and development center now has a lot more people. They are all top talents who have spent a lot of money to dig out from all over the country. There are international students like Xing Lichong who have returned from overseas, and many others.

There are 15 experts and scholars.

The staff of the R&D center have the highest salary in the entire base. As the director, Xingli Chong's salary has also increased from the previous two thousand yuan to three thousand yuan.

People in the R&D center also have other welfare subsidies. As the product R&D department of Tang Dynasty Company, the R&D center also has a rest place for employees, a coffee room, cookies, and three refrigerators, which are always filled with milk.

, in addition to biscuits, there are also milk powder and malted milk for employees to use.

This is the only one in the base. There are no other departments. There are two life secretaries, Zhao Jing and Fu Yanli, and there are two security personnel standing guard with guns outside the door at all times.

Each person in the R&D center has a work pass as a proof of entry and exit, and security personnel can only release the pass after checking it.

Every day, employees on the production line pass by the gate of the R&D center and feel a sense of emotion as they look at the people coming in and out of the R&D center.

"Look at them, even though they all work at the base, they are different. The factory director has opened a canteen inside for them to enjoy for free. They can eat whatever they want, including milk, cola, feed, biscuits and candies. They have endless supplies.

It's endless. After the drink is finished, two secretaries are specially added to join. This is the only scorpion shit in the base."

"If I work there, I won't have to pay for my daily meals. I can eat three meals a day at the canteen inside. I can eat as much milk as I want, as well as candies and biscuits, which will make the factory director poor."

"You think everyone inside is like you. Look at them. They are either college students or experts and professors. What is their status? Intellectuals, how can they drink like us? They are very particular about what they eat. Do you know about nutrition? And they

A monthly salary of two thousand yuan is not bad."

"Let's go, let's go. There's no point in being envious. People do mental work, but we do manual work. It's different. Let's go to our posts and tighten our screws. If we're better than we are, if we're not, we'll still be no more than we are. Six hundred yuan a month

Just be content with the money, you guys, the top dollar in an outside company is only about 100 yuan, an ordinary worker only has 50 or 60 yuan, and many companies heard that the current efficiency is not good, and they can't pay wages for several months." said an employee.

, everyone walked towards the production workshop carrying silver lead lunch boxes and kettles.

After the meeting, Wang Shi came to the technology research and development center.

Sitting in the conference room, Zhao Jing made Wang Shi a cup of coffee. Xing Lichong took out the product improvement report and said to Wang Shi: "Based on the feedback from the service department, we used the failed parts to make various improvements.

Professional research and corresponding improvements have been made.”

"The first is the oil cooler. We did research based on the parts collected by the service department and found that there was no problem with the materials we used before. However, there was a problem with the production process. The welding equipment caused the welding in some places.

Weaknesses are caused in places and new products are in

There was no problem when it was shipped from the factory. However, as the use time continues to increase, due to various factors such as scale and pressure, it turns out that these weak places will have holes, causing water to enter the engine and oil to increase. "Xing Lichong came up with a problem.

I briefly talked about the report and then handed it over to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi took a general look and said: "Your improvement plan is not easy to implement. The equipment in this area is not easy to develop now. Foreign countries have blocked us. These high-precision production equipment are strictly prohibited from export by other countries, especially for

us."

During the working process, the engine oil will increase as the temperature of the engine rises, causing the oil to become thinner and reduce the lubrication ability. The decrease in lubrication ability will lead to a decrease in the lubrication effect and even cause the engine to be unable to operate normally. The oil cooler is very important and indispensable.

The process flow of the oil cooler is complex, mainly including cleaning-drying-chip placement-riveting-assembly-assembly-brazing-disassembly-calibration-pump pressure test and drying.

The material requirements for the oil cooler core are also relatively high, and they need to have strong corrosion resistance and heat dissipation. There are generally two materials for the oil cooler core: copper and stainless steel. Copper is the first choice, and stainless steel is the second choice.

, because stainless steel has poor corrosion resistance and heat dissipation.

The first batch of products were affected by the current domestic situation. Materials such as copper are relatively expensive and are also a scarce material in the country. At that time, Wang Shi used stainless steel as the material of the oil filter core.

"I didn't take the current production equipment into consideration at that time," Wang Shi said secretly.
