The upgrade of Zhengxin mainly focuses on sorting out the business department. As for the R&D center, there is actually no big fight. It just clarifies the main person in charge and specifies the division of labor. Such changes do not involve the R&D team.
So now that Li Fanyu has assigned tasks, the R&D center immediately started moving with the same efficiency as before.
Now the R&D center has been merged into Zhengxin’s R&D department. Lao Zhang has been promoted to chief engineer and is more responsible for management work. Xueba is now the sole leader.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. For the F150, the first model that Zhengxin started to develop after upgrading to the group, they showed the greatest passion.
The team had previously experienced the development of a similar model, the QS15, and had the experience in mind. The process for this type of vehicle is also allocated extremely reasonably and efficiently.
The division of labor is more specific and the responsibilities are clearer. The early development progress of the F150 is as fast as installing a booster.
No matter how fast it is, Zhengxin’s R&D team has not neglected quality at all.
Although F150 is out to make money from crooked nuts, on the other hand, this also represents Zhengxin’s face.
Faced with such a scene, Li Fanyu naturally let go and dealt with the things accumulated during this period.
Recently promoted to the group, Zhengxin’s affairs are quite complicated. But with peace, most things are solved perfectly.
What was left for Li Fanyu were mainly government-level matters.
This includes the issue of follow-up orders for third-generation vehicles, some convenience issues that the government will provide for the future development of Zhengxin Group, and the specific affiliation and docking issues of the US branch.
Although it doesn't sound like much, it took Li Fanyu a lot of effort to deal with this.
Amid the busy schedule, two weeks passed quietly.
When Li Fanyu finished everything and came to the R&D center again. The early stages of F150, including appearance, layout plan, body assembly part modeling, component simulation testing and other steps have been completed.
Because it is going to be launched in the United States, after these steps are completed, it needs to go to the United States for approval and testing. In view of this, the remaining research and development work requires the research and development team to move to the United States to complete.
After each team prepared the existing materials and prepared to go abroad, Li Fan summoned them together.
When the R&D team gathered in the large conference room of the R&D center, they found that some middle-level leaders and technical backbones from the production department and quality control department were also present.
The R&D team had quite a lot of dealings with the two departments before. Seeing such a big battle, they started to inquire about each other.
"Hey? What is Director Li doing? Going to the United States with so many people?"
"I don't know. I heard that the production companies in the United States are all ready. Logically speaking, the main reason is that your R&D department needs to go to the United States to complete the follow-up testing and modification of the model. Our production department and quality control department are responsible for the branch companies Production plays a role of supervision and guidance, so there is no need for so many people.”
"That's right, counting the people present, there must be about four hundred people?"
"Stop chewing your tongue, Director Li's arrangement must make sense. Won't it become clear after a while?"
"Hmm, I just saw such a huge battle and felt that this trip to the United States was not that simple."
……
Facts have proved that Li Fanyu really had his own intentions in arranging so many people to go to the United States together.
The tasks of this trip to the United States are not limited to completing research and development and supervising production. He has more important things that need to be accomplished by righteous people;
He has been thinking about the OEM production system for more than ten days after returning to China.
The automobile industry is an important asset of the country, both for China and especially for the United States. Although the OEM company has been acquired by Zhengxin, the production line cannot be moved back to China. Regarding this type of high-tech things, the attitude of any government is the same; you can buy them, but you can't pack them up and take them away.
But this cannot stop Li Fanyu's determination.
As the old saying goes; a skill is worse than a thousand dollars in hand. If the production line is not allowed to move, then you must have a thorough understanding of the production system and methods. The consistent principle of this product is that you must get the maximum profit back after spending money!
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Fanyu stood up from the three top students and walked to the podium.
After coughing twice, Li Fan said with a silly smile: "Everyone knows that we previously cooperated with the American CPM Group and sold four of our cars including A4, A6, TT, and Mini to Dayang. But due to various reasons, the sales of several other cars in the United States are very low, except for the Mini. In order to better let the American people drive our Zhengxin cars, I went to the United States a while ago. With more than one billion, a branch was easily established."
"Call!"
This was so pretentious that the R&D team in the audience collectively booed.
Most of the R&D team are Li Fanyu’s senior brothers, so they are not outsiders except for serious business. Faced with his invisible pretense, everyone immediately expressed their contempt.
Although the employees of those groups did not dare to join in the booing, they all laughed and said nothing.
"Ahem..." Li Fanyu waved his hand, "No kidding, let's get down to business. Just now I heard someone in the audience was curious about why so many people were brought to the United States this time. Taking people there was a waste of travel expenses. I won’t do it, so you have a mission this time!”
"Brother Fan, don't you just go to the United States to complete the next research and development? Don't worry! It's not that the Raptors can't cross the river. If you play well at home, we Zhengxin people can't let you go abroad!"
Faced with Liu Qing's interruption, Li Fan said with a silly smile: "Completing the research and development of the F150 is part of this trip." He paused for a moment, but there was one more thing that everyone needed to do together! ”
Facing a group of senior fellow students and company subordinates, Li Fanyu briefly explained the situation at the American branch.
When talking about the production line and production system, he hammered the table and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, we Zhengxin have always been based on quality. Now this has become our advantage, but We can't walk on one foot. This time I went to the United States and saw the manufacturing situation of the OEM company, which made me think a lot.
We firmly believe that we will develop in the direction of manufacturing all types of cars in the future. We can gain a foothold in the market with high-end cars based on quality and reputation. But for other models, our current strength is not enough.
So this time it is one thing to go to the United States to make money with the F150. It is also your main task to bring back the production technology, model and system of the American branch!
Zhengxin has been established for nearly a year and has a certain foundation in vehicle manufacturing. But to be honest, this foundation is still too weak. Now we have worked hard and only focused on quality. As an independent brand, our ultimate goal in manufacturing cars is to benefit all Chinese consumers.
As we all know, our current models are mainly mid-to-high-end. Many people outside the world judge us; they say that Zhengxin thinks too highly of itself. We obviously have the ability to build cars, so why not make some models that can benefit the general public?
Is it because we don’t want to build it?
No!
Because we have no way to reduce costs while ensuring quality! So some time ago, when Japanese cars swept the compact market, I was helpless.
This time I went to the United States and by chance acquired an American OEM car company. Their production lines and production systems are worth learning from in terms of cost control and inspection processes.
But US regulations do not allow us to move these things back.
What to do? ”
Hearing his loud question, the audience was already filled with emotions;
"Since you can't get it back, then go learn it and get it back!"
