Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Seeing the company profile of Dongyang Co., Ltd., Li Weidong had a general guess in his mind.

However, Li Weidong has to verify again. So he asked: "Director Pang, isn't this TY-12 engine noisy? Especially the higher the power output, the louder the noise?"

"When the engine is running, it is normal to have noise. When the power is output, the noise is louder, which is also a normal phenomenon. Have you ever seen any engine that rotates faster, the sound is smaller! Besides, Qingqi's little Mulan , the noise is not too small!" Pang Yunjie opened his mouth and locked it.

Pang Yunjie's remarks are equivalent to admitting in disguise that the TY-12 engine is noisy.

"Sure enough!" Li Weidong nodded and asked again, "Then this TY-12 engine, when it is running, does it shake a lot?"

"How can a motorcycle engine not shake! After all, the power is there, and it is normal to have shaking." Pang Yunjie has admitted that the TY-12 engine shakes in disguise.

Li Weidong then asked: "The volume of the TY-12 engine should not be small, right?"

"Things related to engine parameters are all business secrets!" Pang Yunjie paused, then continued; "As long as the engine has a good power, the volume must be large."

Li Weidong asked again: "The fuel consumption of this TY-12 engine should not be low, right?"

"The power is good, the torque is high, what does it mean to burn more oil! Motorcycles can still burn more oil!" Pang Yunjie curled his lips.

In the 1990s, the oil price was one liter per liter, and anyone who could afford a motorcycle would definitely be able to burn the fuel.

Li Weidong nodded slowly, the answers to these questions had confirmed his thoughts.

Pang Yunjie had an impatient look on his face. He opened his mouth and said, "I said, Director Li, why are you always picking on us! Sometimes it's loud, sometimes it shakes, and sometimes it's a waste of oil, this world Is there a perfect engine there? Even a Honda or Yamaha motorcycle engine can pick out a bunch of faults!"

"Director Pang, don't get me wrong, I think there is something wrong with the manufacturer of Dongyang Co., Ltd." Li Weidong said indifferently.

At this time, Li Weidong had already guessed what trick Dongyang Co., Ltd. was playing, so he naturally calmed down a lot.

Pang Yunjie glared: "What's the problem? This kind of good and cheap motorcycle production line is hard to find even with a lantern!"

"Director Pang, the motorcycle production line you introduced is quite cheap. It only costs three million US dollars. Don't you realize that this motorcycle production line is too cheap? There is a saying that cheap is not good. Goods, such a cheap price, be careful of fraud!" Li Weidong reminded kindly.

Pang Yunjie snorted coldly,

He said: "Yes, the price of three million US dollars is quite cheap for a motorcycle production line. The reason why the price of this production line is so low is entirely the result of the efforts of our negotiating team!

For this motorcycle production line, the original quotation from Dongyang Co., Ltd. was US$5.5 million. The negotiation team of our factory had several rounds of negotiation with Dongyang Co., Ltd., only to reduce the price of the production line to three million US dollars. "

Li Weidong nodded suddenly, secretly thinking in his heart, no wonder Taifeng Motorcycle Factory is so keen to introduce the motorcycle production line of Jinyang Co., Ltd. The main reason is that it is cheap!

It is precisely because of the cheap price that Taifeng Motorcycle Factory fell into the trap of Jinyang Co., Ltd.

Li Weidong thought about it again, this is also a normal thing, those who have been deceived are probably not greedy for cheap!

Many cheap people buy fake and shoddy products, and they will defend their purchases when others tell them there is something wrong with the products. This is nothing new, no matter what age it is.

"It's really being sold, and you're helping them count the money!" Li Weidong sighed and said, "Director Pang, you really think Japanese manufacturers are so stupid, and let you cut the price of 2.5 million. The reason why their production line is so cheap is because..."

Speaking of this, Li Weidong's words suddenly stopped, and a question emerged from Li Weidong's mind:

"I tell the truth to Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, what's the benefit to me?"

The next second, Li Weidong had another idea in his mind.

Li Weidong stopped talking halfway, and Pang Yunjie asked, "Why?"

"It's because this motorcycle production line is relatively old." Li Weidong's voice changed, and he continued: "The engine in the early 1970s must have been developed in the 1960s. It has been more than 20 years since now, and the price is of course cheap. . Replaced with the production line in recent years, without tens of millions of dollars, you can't get it."

Pang Yunjie snorted coldly: "I thought Factory Manager Li had something to talk about! It turned out that he was still talking about this. As I said just now, although the production line of Dongyang Co., Ltd. is a bit old, the products produced by this production line , not far behind!"

Li Weidong laughed and stopped talking. In the end, he still didn't tell Pang Yunjie the truth.

The scooter production line provided by Jinyang Co., Ltd. was not originally used to produce motorcycles, but to produce agricultural tricycles.

This point, Li Weidong didn't figure it out at first, he just instinctively felt that the data of the TY-12 engine was very strange, until Li Weidong saw the information of Jinyang Co., Ltd.

The Japanese version of the information shows that Jinyang Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturing enterprise, and its main business is agricultural machinery manufacturing.

Knowing that Jinyang Co., Ltd. produces agricultural machinery, and considering that this TY-12 engine is a product from 20 years ago, Li Weidong suddenly had a bold guess, that is, this TY-12 engine is actually a Developed for agricultural tricycles.

The agricultural tricycle is a very unique existence, whether in the field of agricultural machinery or in the field of transportation. Because before Chinese companies entered this field, agricultural tricycles were almost a blank field, and no one was using this kind of thing.

The agricultural tricycle is the product of the technological progress of the internal combustion engine, but in the agricultural development process of the western developed countries, the agricultural tricycle has not been experienced.

Thanks to the Industrial Revolution, the West entered the era of mechanical agriculture very early, and farmers in the West also eliminated livestock early and used cars and tractors.

After that, the continuous improvement of the internal combustion engine, the power of the internal combustion engine became better and better, the volume became smaller and smaller, and the engine that could be used for agricultural tricycles was slowly born.

That is to say, when the engine can be installed on agricultural tricycles, the western industrial countries have entered the era of automobiles. People have already used various trucks to transport agricultural products. Naturally, there is no need to develop and produce tricycles.

Therefore, in European and American countries, there is no such thing as an agricultural tricycle, and they do not need such a thing at all.

The poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America definitely need agricultural tricycles for their agriculture, but the industrial base of these countries is too weak to develop such things as agricultural tricycles.

Therefore, for a long time, agricultural tricycles have become a product that developed countries are unwilling to make and developing countries cannot make.

In developing countries, only China has a complete industrial system, so the ability to use tricycles has become a great artifact for Chinese farmers. It has been enduring for 20 to 30 years, and it has even been continuously upgraded and launched new products with various functions.

Compared with the West, Japan is a relatively special existence in developed countries. After World War II, Japan recovered ten years later than Western countries, and the development of agricultural machinery was naturally ten years later.

Moreover, before World War II, the degree of mechanization of Japanese agriculture was far less than that of Europe and the United States, so the Japanese once studied agricultural tricycles and launched corresponding products.

It was from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. Japan's industrial development made Japan's agriculture break away from primitive manpower and livestock, and began to use agricultural machinery in large quantities. In addition, the engine itself was becoming more and more mature at that time, and agricultural tricycles were also used. It came into being.

It is a pity that Japan has a world-class automobile manufacturing industry. At the same time as the rise of agricultural tricycles, Japanese automakers began to produce mini-vans, that is to say, agricultural tricycles and mini-vans appeared in the Japanese market almost at the same time.

Japan's mini-van technology is still very good, cheap and practical, especially Subaru, the mini-van produced is definitely the world's top level.

The income of Japanese farmers is not low. Since there are cheap and easy-to-use miniature trucks, what kind of agricultural tricycles should you buy! A four-wheeled is no better than a three-wheeled one! Aren't Subaru's minivans delicious?

The emergence of agricultural tricycles and miniature pickups at the same time meant that agricultural tricycles were only a short-lived phenomenon and quickly disappeared from the Japanese market within a few years.

When Li Weidong was a trainee in Japan, he once repaired a Subaru minivan, and learned about this history from an older car mechanic.

So when Li Weidong learned that Jinyang Co., Ltd. is another company that produces agricultural machinery, Li Weidong immediately realized that the data of the TY-12 engine is the data of the agricultural tricycle engine.

After careful consideration, this TY-12 was launched in the early 1970s. It should have been developed in the 60s. It happened to be the era when Japan developed and produced agricultural tricycles. Li Weidong can almost be sure that this TY-12 engine is a The engine developed in the 1960s for the production of agricultural tricycles.

So Li Weidong asked a few more questions, such as engine volume, fuel consumption, noise, etc. From the single case reported by Pang Yunjie, he became more and more sure of his idea that the TY-12 engine is indeed the engine of the agricultural tricycle.

The role of agricultural tricycles is to transport goods, and the engines of agricultural tricycles are also developed for transporting goods, so in some specific data, the engines of agricultural tricycles are indeed better than those of ordinary motorcycles.

However, the engines of agricultural tricycles are obviously not suitable for use in home motorcycles, but if they are really used, it is not impossible, but it just cannot meet the performance standards of home motorcycles.

According to Li Weidong's inference, Jinyang Co., Ltd. originally had a production line of agricultural tricycles. This production line was 20 years ago. Since agricultural tricycles have been eliminated from the market in Japan, this agricultural tricycle production line is also idle. down.

In recent years, China has begun to introduce motorcycle production lines on a large scale. When Jinyang Co., Ltd. learned that Taifeng Motorcycle Factory was going to introduce a scooter production line, it decided to use a waste product.

Jinyang Co., Ltd. transformed the useless agricultural three-wheel production line, added parts such as automatic clutches, and turned it into a scooter production line, and then bullied Taifeng Motorcycle Factory for not understanding, and sold the transformed production line to Tai. Peak Motorcycle Factory.

With the technical level and industrial capabilities of Japanese companies, it is not difficult to transform a tricycle production line into a scooter production line.

It is precisely because this scooter production line is converted from an old production line twenty years ago that Jinyang Co., Ltd. is willing to accept the offer of three million US dollars.

After all, if this production line is left in Japan, it will only become scrap iron in the end. Now it can sell three million US dollars with a little improvement. Jinyang Co., Ltd. is naturally happy.

In Li Weidong's view, if it is three million US dollars, it is not a big loss to purchase a production line of agricultural tricycles. Agricultural tricycles are very popular in China.

However, if you buy it as a scooter production line, it is equivalent to buying a scrap production line.

Scooters are light motorcycles used in cities, while agricultural tricycles are developed for rural transportation. A scooter converted from an agricultural tricycle, without thinking about it, must be a failed product.

"No wonder in my memory, Taifeng Motorcycle went bankrupt after two years. It's really a big loss for small gains!" Li Weidong sighed in his heart.

Li Weidong wanted to tell Pang Yunjie his judgment, but when the words came to his lips, Li Weidong swallowed it again.

As Li Weidong thought, telling the truth of the matter to the Taifeng Motorcycle Factory, what is the benefit to Li Weidong?

After Taifeng Motorcycle Factory knew the truth, there were nothing more than two results. One was not to introduce this production line;

With these two results, Li Weidong has no substantial benefits other than being able to pretend to be coercive and get a few words of thanks and praise.

On the contrary, if Li Weidong did not point out this matter, he might really be able to get some benefits from Dongyang Co., Ltd.

Thinking of this, Li Weidong sighed with a smile, and secretly said in his heart: "Director Pang, I'm sorry, if you had been kinder to me just now, I might have reminded you a few more words, now, you can only sacrifice Your factory, come and be my stepping stone!"

At this time, Li Weidong has already started to plan, how to get the benefits!
