Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"How about it? Can we sell it in small quantities ourselves?"

Fang Xiang sat in Director Jiang's office again.

Yes, he still didn't give up.

This is my masterpiece that I spent so much effort to draw.

I'm unwilling to just leave it like this.

"Of course you can, but it's not worth it..."

Director Jiang took out a cigarette, gave one to Fang Xiangsan, struck a match and lit it, then said something with a frown.

"How to say?"

Fang Xiang had roughly understood what Director Jiang meant at this time, but he still wanted to hear what Director Jiang had to say.

“It’s still a question of cost.

If you sell less, the output will be lower, and if the output is lower, the cost will be higher.

This is an endless cycle.

If it is reversed, it can be revitalized.

So you want to sell in small quantities...

It’s a bit difficult!”

Director Jiang’s meaning was very simple, and the answer was not unexpected.

It is said that the world factory in the future will be the world factory.

But no one calls it a sweatshop.

That’s why we had to climb the technology tree later.

But is the technology tree so easy to climb?

Hey! I think this technology tree is really easy to climb!

"What if we want to make high-tech products?"

Fang Xiang muttered to himself subconsciously.

"High-tech? What does that mean?"

This was the first time Director Jiang heard this term, so naturally he didn't understand it.

"Did you see that sports car?"

Fang Xiang paused for a moment, feeling that this was a bit difficult to explain, so he simply gave an example.

"I see, you are really brave."

Director Jiang immediately smiled and nodded at Fang Xiang with the hand holding the cigarette.

"Don't laugh. If that car can really be sold, the profit can really be equal to five ordinary cars."

Fang wanted to know what Chief Jiang meant, but he was indeed bolder now.

He has one first-class merit and three second-class merit awards, and the Academy of Sciences and several bigwigs are supporting him.

If he still acts timidly, would that be a good thing?

“Other cars, to put it bluntly, are just hard-earned money.

Create jobs for workers and generate foreign exchange for the country.

But that car is not something that can be built by ordinary countries or ordinary people.

That is the concentration of the top technology of the entire world's automotive industry today.

It took me a lot of effort to build two barely qualified prototypes.”

Fang Xiang took a puff of cigarette and talked on and on.

In fact, it is not only for Director Jiang to hear, but also for the people behind him to hear, and even more so for myself to hear.

If someone said that there was no one behind Director Jiang, Fang Xiang would definitely not believe it.

“If we can establish a brand and create influence internationally.

We can do less low-end manufacturing.

With this sports car, you can make a lot of profit with very few resources.

Isn't this bad? "

Fang Xiang sighed, thought of Liu Shuying, stopped smoking, and put out the cigarette in the ashtray.

These days, not only Liu's father was urging him, but Liu's mother and Liu Shuying were also anxious.

They originally thought that Liu Shuying would get pregnant after getting married.

But Fang Xiang calculated the date well, so Liu Shuying's belly is still flat today.

When he came back this time, several people from the Liu family joined together and nagged him for several days.

This made Fang Xiang, who was already annoyed by the nagging, unable to stay at home any longer, so he ran out.

"It's good, but it doesn't quite fit our national conditions..."

Seeing that Fang Xiang didn't want to smoke anymore, Director Jiang simply put out the cigarette in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Sighed.

“If I go to Hong Kong Island, I’ll set up a car trading company.

What do you think? "

Fang Xiang finally revealed his ultimate purpose this time.

He still held on to the idea of ​​rescuing him.

This car, at present, is already one of the top products in the world.

If we wait for a few years, until the Second Automobile Works’ factory building is completed and the machines and workers are in place, we can then run them in and start work.

That will be three years later.

Three years later, there is no doubt that these models will be lost among the masses.

At that time, the country's machine tools and other machinery will also age and their accuracy will decrease.

At that time, it might even be impossible to produce products of the same standard.

Moreover, this is without mentioning the storm.

If the machinery is damaged, the workers will not do their work.

Think about the Type 63 rifle!

The original design did have some flaws, but in essence, it was still a good gun.

But then what?

Fang Xiang was very worried that the vehicles he designed would end up like the Type 63 rifle.

“In theory it works.

There is no need to go through the foreign trade department. Our Ministry of First Machine Building has a Foreign Affairs Bureau with corresponding export policies and approvals.

But as I just said, it can only be done in small quantities.

If the batch is small, the cost cannot be reduced, so how can we expect to make a profit? "

Director Jiang frowned.

"What do you think of the SH760?"

Fang Xiang did not answer Director Jiang's question, but asked about Shanghai Automobile's SH760.

“It’s a nice car, but that’s not when compared to your car.

Why, you?"

Director Jiang is over sixty years old and has become a very capable person.

Although he is a technical expert, he also has experience in administration.

He immediately guessed what Fang Xiang was thinking.

"what do you think?"

Fang Xiang saw the light flashing in Director Jiang's eyes, and naturally realized that Director Jiang had guessed his thoughts.

"Technically it's feasible, but administratively..."

Director Jiang took off his glasses, pinched his nose, and looked a little worried.

Fang Xiang was not in a hurry. He picked up the teacup and took small sips.

He has made up his mind, and whether it will work or not depends on this time.

If it doesn't work, he will give up completely.

From now on, I will stay in Luoqi and have children with Liu Shuying.

Let him stay here for fifteen years and raise the child first.

"You know, I am a nobody and my words don't count. You have to give me a reasonable reason."

Director Jiang was worried for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Xiang who was sipping tea leisurely.

Suddenly I felt unhappy in my stomach.

Good man, you throw all the problems to me?

Do I deserve to wipe your ass?!

"Director Jiang, you know that it is the most difficult to sell a product when it is just starting out.

Even if someone buys it, it will be a pitifully small amount.

The same is true for our current production volume. It cannot be increased, right?

But I have confidence in my product, with such good performance and such good appearance.

I can guarantee that it will work internationally.

It won’t be long before it is sought after by the market.

Even if the West and the North impose economic restrictions on us, so what?

They don't have the final say in the whole world.

We survive in the cracks, and the market can also seek development in the cracks.

Build up the market bit by bit and increase sales.

This all takes time, right?

So do we have enough time to prepare our production, proficiency and equipment?

Aren't these synchronized?

Once the production volume increases, we can speak with facts.

We have the confidence to ask for policies again, right? "

Fang Xiang stated word for word the countermeasures he had thought of long ago.

“Even if we lose money in the early stages, it’s normal.

But as long as the sales are opened, our workers will have food to eat, and the loss of money in the early stage will be acceptable in the long run.

By the time our customers settle down, the market is so big that we will always have food to eat.

Will I still lose money by then?"

Although Fang Xiang has never done business, he has seen a lot of business wars in later generations on short videos.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take taxi-hailing and food delivery, how much money did those early-stage market players invest?

Later, when the monopoly began, they made a huge fortune.

As for the automobile industry, Fang Xiang was confident that he could remain ahead of the world for three years.

With three years of leading the way, is it still impossible to chew a bone?
