Chapter 449: Office road race in Yuzhou
At this meeting, it was not only determined to expand market share, but also determined to continue to expand motorcycle production.
Another thing is the drug market.
The body drug market is not that big at this time. The current per capita GDP of body drugs is only US$368, and the consumption potential is relatively small.
Of course, this per capita GDP is US$50 higher than that of China!
However, compared to the four economic tigers of Asia, they are somewhat incomparable.
For example, Siam's per capita GDP has now reached US$1,545, Malay's is US$2,513, Luzon's is US$820, and Ten Thousand Islands' GDP is US$582 less.
"The Shendu market does not mean looking at the present, but looking at the future. Cooperate with local people in Shendu, build an assembly plant locally, and we will send parts."
Chen Huaiqing: "How is the construction of the factory in Siam going?"
"It will be produced this year."
In this case, there is no problem.
After the Siam factory was built, it was mainly to supply the Southeast Asian market.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. After the meeting ended, Chen Huaiqing hurriedly left.
Wang Wan took the cup and smiled lightly when she saw Chen Huaiqing going to the toilet.
Asked to drink water during the meeting!
Anyway, Wang Wan would not drink water before a meeting, and would even go to the toilet first.
Therefore, in various meetings, mineral water is clearly placed on the table, but no one moves. The reason is because drinking water makes it easier to go to the toilet.
If you have an important meeting, how can you have time to go to the toilet?
I can only hold it in.
By the time Chen Huaiqing returned to the office, Wang Wan had already filled his cup with hot water again.
Song Qi also came over at this time.
Signaling Wang Wan to close the office door, Song Qi said directly: "Boss, it seems you have concerns about Neon?"
Chen Huaiqing: "Their strength is still there, how can they not be scrupulous?"
In the past few years, Motta Group relied on the opportunity of the appreciation of the yen to aggressively seize the market of neon motorcycle companies.
However, after several years of continuous adjustments, the company has begun to slowly recover. For example, it has moved production out of Neon and started producing in the host country's market.
Although the core components still have to be produced locally in Neon, the cost has still dropped a lot.
"I'm not afraid of other Neon motorcycle companies. The only one that can be regarded as a rival is Tamoto."
Even though Tamoto's sales in the motorcycle field have dropped a lot due to Motta Group, it has still stabilized the market.
In addition, in terms of technology, Tianben is quite strong.
Not only are they strong in motorcycle technology, but they are also quite powerful in automobile technology.
Chen Huaiqing: "How is your research going since Saimo is able to participate in the competition?"
Song Qi: "There are still some shortcomings in the engine."
Since you are going to participate in competitions, the engine will naturally run in a very harsh environment.
For example, in the Isle of Man TT race that I am going to participate in, the average speed is 200k per hour, and the top speed can reach 300k per hour.
This kind of speed will inevitably put higher demands on the motorcycle engine.
Of course, the quality requirements for the entire motorcycle are also quite high.
There's not much to say about the motorcycle body, it's all been professionally modified.
Mainly the engine.
Many motorcycles participating in the Isle of Man TT event use Honda engines.
This all shows the technical strength of Tianben Company.
Song Qi thought for a while and said: "Since I am going abroad to participate in the competition, I am thinking about one thing."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Why don't we organize a special motorcycle race and car race ourselves? There are not many people playing car racing in Yuzhou now."
Yuzhou was the largest motorcycle and automobile production city in China at this time. Some newspapers now call Yuzhou the "Detroit" of China.
Well, Chinese people always like to benchmark themselves against the number one in the world.
Now that the United States is the largest country in the world, it naturally needs to be benchmarked.
Everything must be benchmarked first, and then you feel that it doesn't work here and it doesn't work there either.
Compared with the first one, everything is different.
What makes foreigners most speechless is that China is very strong, but the Chinese people themselves don’t realize it.
In the Chinese concept, either being number one means being weak.
As a city of automobiles, Yuzhou naturally has a lot of talents on the market.
Modified cars are relatively common in Yuzhou.
Nowadays, the management of modified cars and the like is not strict.
Some people even engage in assembling cars and the like.
Engines and the like are all available for purchase, and they are original engines from Mota Power.
There's nothing surprising about this.
However, the price of these engines is definitely much higher than that of Motta Group’s own use.
For example, if the Mota Group assembles it into a car, the purchase cost is only one thousand sixty, and then it will cost two thousand to other manufacturers. As for retailing it on the market, the price is much higher, it will cost two thousand.
five.
In this way, we will crack down on those small workshops that make money by assembling cars.
The quality of motorcycles produced by small workshops cannot be guaranteed at all.
However, management really has no control over this aspect now.
In the future, every car will have an engine number and a frame number. The engine and frame must match before it can be said to be an original car.
But now, even if we have these two numbers, there is no way to check them.
The main reason is that the Internet system is not yet online.
Chen Huaiqing: "Specialized competitions, this seems to be possible."
There is no need for a professional closed track like 1, Motta Group's motorcycles and cars are all market-oriented.
That is, a car that runs on the road.
So, office road racing is enough.
Directly choose a road or build a new road as the competition road. During normal times, it will be used as a normal road. When it is time for the competition, the road will be closed and used as the competition road.
In terms of length, it can be made longer, for example, to connect a number of tourist attractions in Yuzhou.
In this case, it can also become a tourist avenue.
As for the road surface, the current cement road is definitely not suitable, and asphalt road will have to be used.
If this is the case, the construction cost will be slightly higher.
It's also acceptable.
"We can discuss this with the city."
Nowadays, it seems that only Yuzhou is suitable for hosting this kind of competition. This competition is also held for publicity purposes.
At that time, each manufacturer will have to show its technical strength on this track.
To be honest, when buying a car, Chinese consumers pay more attention to the appearance of the vehicle and its various configurations.
As for the engine, chassis, and gearbox, which are the core components of a vehicle, we don't even look at them.
Of course, most consumers don’t understand this either.
Anyway, it can satisfy daily use.
Everyone uses it for transportation. It is a family car and will not be used violently. As long as the quality of the vehicle is up to standard, it can generally be used for a long time.
As for whether the vehicle is excellent or not, it is not that important, as long as it is qualified!
With this professional event, no matter how few people pay attention, there will still be people paying attention.
The days when joint venture manufacturers used second-rate technology to make money in China are gone forever.
It is not okay to deceive domestic consumers like fools.
So, will those foreign car manufacturers really transfer their core technologies to joint venture car companies?
This is not a joke!
Chapter completed!
