Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Liu Feng introduced

"The factory's production capacity now stands at 2000 to 2400 improved Red Star tricycles per month."

"We have two workshops that are being expanded. After the expansion is completed in August, the capacity will be increased to 7000 vehicles per month."

"The factory currently has orders for one car, but one car has not yet been delivered."

"The main sources are orders from several government departments in Sijiu City and Tianjin City, as well as orders from more than a thousand city defense forces."

Zhang Renkang nodded. The current order volume is enough to keep the workshop running for half a year. During this period, orders from other regions will also arrive at the factory one after another. In the next two years, the factory's production capacity will be maintained at an average of 10,000 vehicles per month, so there will be no shortage of orders.

Zhang Renkang said

"The factory will have sufficient orders and production capacity in the next two to three years, but as the demand in various regions across the country grows, it will be impossible for us alone to meet the needs of the national market."

"At some point in the future, they will definitely build factories in various places. As the pioneering department, we must prepare for brand awareness and technology output."

Zhang Renkang's new words confused Xue Jinfeng and Liu Feng. Xue Jinfeng asked

"President, what do you mean by brand recognition?"

Zhang Renkang looked at the two people who were looking forward to it, and his mind was also stunned. He remembered that this word was created by later generations, so he explained

“When people mention this three-wheeled truck, the first thing that comes to mind is our Red Star brand.”

"When we talk about Red Star three-wheeled trucks, we know that they are better than those made by others, more valuable, and a synonym for quality. They are also a model of advancement."

"As long as the public and users think that our cars are better than those made by other manufacturers, we can sell them at a higher price. Not only will the factory make more profit, but it will also have enough funds to promote technological innovation."

"Technology export is simpler. After the Ministry of Industry guides the establishment of factories across the country, we need to formulate the standards before the three-wheeled transport vehicles produced need to meet technical standards."

"How big is the truck bed, what kind of steel is used, how many steps are there in the manufacturing process, what is the first thing to do, and what is the second thing to do"

"As long as we set the standard, other factories will not be affected if they cannot get rid of this limitation. Moreover, we can outsource some simple processes. Then we only need to innovate and develop new vehicles."

Zhang Renkang simply told them some advanced ideas and market operation ideas of later generations, so that Liu Feng and Xue Jinfeng's thinking is no longer limited to R&D technology and expanding production.

The country is now implementing a rationing system, which means that what each unit needs is allocated by the superior. Due to the shortage of materials, each unit is given a certain degree of unplanned authority. The factory's production tasks are also indicators issued by the superior. As long as the factory can meet the indicators, it can be

The advantage of this is that the amount of production and distribution can be controlled, and it can ideally meet the needs of various departments and units.

But in actual operation, for example, a coal mine is supposed to produce 1,000 tons of coal for a steel mill, but for some reason only 800 tons are produced. The 200 tons shortfall will cause the steel mill to run out of energy and be unable to smelt the required steel. In order to meet the production target, they can only find coal outside the plan.

In all walks of life, such gaps and problems in certain links lead to shortages of certain materials. Therefore, each unit has a procurement department to solve the unplanned shortage of materials.

The three-wheeled vehicles in the factory are also the production targets issued by the superiors after investigation and trial in some markets. If the factory has excess production capacity, it can continue to produce, but the orders and sales have to be managed by ourselves.

Although the current orders can mobilize the factory's production capacity, Zhang Renkang still keenly discovered the subsequent problem, that is, as the feedback from the three-wheeled transport vehicle was reported to the upper level, it would definitely be necessary to build factories in various parts of the country to produce them.

Otherwise, how much can a factory in the northern suburbs produce, and how much will the transportation cost be? At some point in the future, if the higher-ups decide that this should be promoted nationwide, they will have to send someone to specifically guide the construction of the factory.

Zhang Renkang's response strategy is to set standards and strengthen R&D capabilities. He wants the three-wheeled vehicle manufacturing plant under the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant to become the source of technology output, so as to guide the development of this vehicle series.

After telling Liu Feng and Xue Jinfeng about this, Zhang Renkang was about to go back to discuss with Li Huaide when he was almost knocked down by a little girl in a green military uniform.

Looking closely, it was Ding Qiunan. Seeing Ding Qiunan's haggard face, Zhang Renkang became curious and asked

"Are you the Doctor Ding?"

Ding Qiunan was almost hit by a man. She felt uncomfortable at first, but when she saw that it was Zhang Renkang, her eyes suddenly lit up. She ignored Tang Qi, Liu Feng, Xue Jinfeng and others beside her, and cried as she grabbed Zhang Renkang's arm and knelt down.

Crying

"Director Zhang, please, save my father!"

"Director Zhang, you must save my father!"

Zhang Renkang looked at Ding Qiunan who was kneeling on the ground in confusion.

He turned to look at Liu Feng and Xue Jinfeng behind him, then turned back to support Ding Qiunan and said helplessly

"Doctor Ding, you get up first."

"What are you doing? What are you talking about?"

"If you have any difficulties, please speak up. What will other comrades think if they see you like this?"

Although Ding Qiunan was thin, she knelt on the ground stubbornly and refused to get up. She looked like she would not give up unless you agreed.

Xue Jinfeng, who was standing by, saw Zhang Renkang's dilemma and quickly tried to persuade him.

"Xiao Ding, if you have anything to say, please stand up and tell me."

"You are making it difficult for President Zhang."

Zhang Renkang was also worried about causing misunderstandings, so he simply clamped Ding Qiunan's shoulders with both hands and lifted her up. He looked at Ding Qiunan, who was still wiping her tears, and Liu Feng, who was hesitant to speak, with an unpleasant expression, and said coldly:

"Go to the meeting room"

He patted Ding Qiunan on the shoulder and said

"Go to the meeting room first. If you have any questions, go to the meeting room and ask them."

He asked Xue Jinfeng to hold Ding Qiunan, and walked angrily towards the meeting room he had just left.

Liu Feng on the side introduced quietly

"This Xiao Ding's father has some problems.

"She came to the factory a few days ago and wanted them to provide accommodation for her father as well."

……

Zhang Renkang roughly understood the situation. In short, Ding Qiunan's father had made some remarks before. Now he was afraid. He also saw that some professors who also lived in the family quarters were protected by the factory, so he asked Ding Qiunan to seek shelter from the factory.

But Liu Feng was unwilling to do so. After all, he had made no contribution to the factory, and the factory was not worth it to stand up for him.

Chen Huayi and his team mainly conduct academic research on machinery, which can help the factory to upgrade technology and carry out research and development.

Liu Feng didn't want to manage it for the safety and stability of the entire factory. From the perspective of his duties, there is no problem at all.
