Chapter 91 Mota125 encounters difficulties in mass production
For the next period of time, life went by normally.
Until October, Han's Trading sent an order for one thousand mota80 motorcycles to Mota Industrial.
An order for one thousand motorcycles is not a big deal for Mota Industrial.
It's just two or three days' output.
However, what this represents is different.
This is the first step in the overseas market.
Overseas orders are naturally given priority by Mota Industrial. Once the order arrives, production is immediately arranged and then delivered directly.
Another thing is that the official production of mota125 motorcycles has begun.
The mota125 motorcycle is 1945 mm long, 815 mm wide and 1110 mm high.
It is equipped with an MT125 single-cylinder four-stroke engine, equipped with a 10.5L mailbox, and adopts a front disc brake and rear drum brake design, with a maximum speed of 80km/h.
Although the top speed of mota125 can reach 80 or more, most riders are not good at reaching this speed.
Because there is no such road condition at all.
On ordinary national highways, being able to run sixty or seventy is considered very fast. As for high speed?
The first expressway in mainland China was the Shanghai-Jiazhou Expressway built in 1988.
There is no expressway in mainland China now.
The technical difficulty of mota125 is naturally much higher than that of mota80, so Mota Industrial has been unable to increase its output.
The daily output is only ten units!
Such a low daily output does not mean that Mota Industrial does not want to improve, but that it cannot improve.
Zheng Xiaping reported the current production situation of mota125 to Chen Huaiqing: "The main reason now is that suppliers cannot supply some core components, resulting in low production volume."
Chen Huaiqing flipped through the report in his hand and saw that Zheng Xiaping encountered difficulties in the production of those parts that were standardized on it.
This made Chen Huaiqing couldn't help but rub his head, now it's really...
In the future, the most advanced fighter jets in the United States will have to purchase parts and components from China, but what about now?
Although China has a full system of industry, this industrial system is still very rudimentary. There is no problem in making some primary industrial products, but there are many things that cannot be made.
After letting out a sigh, Chen Huaiqing said helplessly: "What do the factories say?"
Zheng Xiaping: "They want to introduce new production equipment from abroad to increase production, but now there is no foreign exchange."
The purpose of each company is to get foreign exchange from Mota Industrial.
mota80 is now exporting to earn foreign exchange. In addition, Mota Industrial previously bought production lines from the United States.
As a collective enterprise, Mota Industrial is, logically speaking, difficult to apply for foreign exchange.
Everyone also has information channels, and naturally knows that Mota Industrial applied for foreign exchange, but did not apply.
Finally solved the foreign exchange problem by myself.
Otherwise, how did you get the motorcycle production line and engine production line in the factory?
If it weren't for that engine production line, Mota Industrial would not be able to produce the MT125 engine.
Yes, the MT125 engine was produced at Motta Industries at this time.
Now Mota Industrial has basically handed over all the production of MT80 engines to Yangtze Diesel Engine Factory.
The production cost of the MT125 engine is as high as 3,500 yuan, which is actually a bit expensive.
The ex-factory price of a mota125 is as high as 10,000 yuan, and the selling price on the market is 12,000 to 13,000 yuan.
Moreover, mota125 now gives priority to dealers in big cities.
To be honest, this thing is a bit too expensive.
A car in this day and age only cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
But it’s even harder to buy a car!
And the most important point is that private individuals cannot buy cars at this time.
Do you feel that you are far from the original?
Rules are rules, there are many ways to break through them, it's just a little troublesome.
The mota125 motorcycle is indeed very expensive, but there are many people who can buy it.
In fact, the design of mota125 gives people the impression that this is a very high-end car.
People in the world especially care about face, and Chen Huaiqing naturally knows this very well, so when designing mota125, we focused on good looks and high-end products.
Chen Huaiqing: "Old Zheng, you tell them to report the equipment they need first. Then I will ask Xiangjiang to make a quotation for the equipment. Mota Industrial will first pay them with foreign exchange, and they will earn from exports."
Foreign exchange will be deducted.”
The price quoted will naturally not be low.
In fact, even though it's still 1984, many companies still don't have a deep understanding of the world.
Many companies have gone out to purchase production equipment and have suffered losses.
The price is often very expensive.
It's hard to say whether there is any problem here. I can only pretend that everyone doesn't understand it, so they suffer a loss.
Watching Zheng Xiaping leave, Chen Huaiqing fell into deep thought.
Now that Mota Industrial has formed a stable supply chain, Chen Huaiqing naturally does not want to say that there are problems with this supply chain. It is best to keep it stable.
However, some nodes in this supply chain are no longer satisfied with the continued development of Mota Industrial.
It even drags down the development speed of Motta industry.
Some unsuitable ones must be kicked out.
The factory here in Yuzhou cannot produce it, but that does not mean that it cannot be produced in other places in the country.
In the past few years, factories across the country have introduced production equipment everywhere, and their production capacity has been greatly improved.
Even car parts can be produced, but it is impossible to say that motorcycle parts cannot be produced.
Wait a minute, the localization of Santana is also quite low now.
And even these factories will not take orders from Mota Industrial.
It's a headache. It seems that we need to support the factories below.
We still need to be prepared on both sides, and these factories need to have a sense of crisis.
Mota Industrial cannot place all parts production in Yuzhou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These state-owned enterprises in Yuzhou are in the same vein. Even if each part is produced by two companies, in fact Chen Huaiqing wants the two companies to compete with each other.
There is no competitive effect at all.
On the contrary, there is a natural "union" among people.
Chen Huaiqing can say that he should give more orders to this company and less to the other company to sow discord between them.
But Chen Huaiqing thought about it and decided to forget it.
Chen Huaiqing called in the people from the purchasing department. The current person in charge of the purchasing department also graduated from Yuzhou University.
After graduation, I became the director of the purchasing department, which is naturally impossible in other places.
That is to say, Mota Industry was just established and needed talents.
Chen Huaiqing asked the purchasing department to expand the procurement scope of mota125 parts not to Yuzhou, but to the whole country.
Find companies across the country that can produce mota125 parts and place orders with them.
Chen Huaiqing didn't believe it. He could even build airplanes by himself, but he couldn't even manage the production of motorcycle parts.
Mota Industry has quite a reputation across the country.
Mainly thanks to Motta Industries' TV commercials.
The commercial that Mota Industrial asked Emei Film Factory to shoot was finally released on the TV station a month ago.
Originally Chen Huaiqing wanted to broadcast advertisements on CCTV, but it is not easy to broadcast advertisements on CCTV these days.
It doesn't matter, then of course it won't work.
Therefore, Mota Industrial's advertisements were first broadcast on Sichuan TV Station, and then slowly began to be broadcast on some provincial TV stations.
The effect of advertising...
It seems unclear whether it will have any effect or not.
Before the commercial aired, mota80 was in short supply. After the commercial aired, mota80 was still in short supply.
