Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks? - Chapter 58
Hongqi headquarters.
Lu Yan called the marketing department and the executives in charge of the directly-operated stores to a meeting.
“We have postponed the delivery twice, which has hurt the hearts of the car owners, but that is an emergency that we cannot help. The first batch of mass-produced cars will be delivered in three days, and we must do a good job so that all car owners can take their cars home happily!!”
Lu Yan said to the crowd.
The executives present patted their chests and said
“Boss, don’t worry, the directly affiliated stores below will definitely complete the task!!”
“The following store feedback said that some of the first batch of car owners couldn’t wait and called every day to ask whether the car had been shipped.”
“Some of them brought their cards to the store and insisted on paying the full amount in advance. Fortunately, our store stopped them and calmed them down.”
An executive said with a smile.
The cars haven’t even started to be transported yet, but consumers are rushing to pay the full amount. This is simply against the will of heaven!
Those car owners who are in the back of the line are fine.
But these first batch of car owners who are in the top 100 are so close to picking up their cars, how can they remain calm?���
I can’t wait to take the”Land Tank” home in the next second!!
Lu Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
It’s definitely the first time in the industry that consumers who can afford this price can be so anxious.
“Let them rest assured that there will be no problem with the delivery of the first batch of cars.”
Lu Yan vowed.
Now, nothing can stop him from delivering cars to consumers.
But reality is often magical.
The next day, in the special administrative vehicle management group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kyoto , several people in one of the senior offices were discussing the ceremonial motorcade for the Middle Eastern prince’s visit to China next week.
As a traditional great power, China has also maintained the image of a country of etiquette for five thousand years.
For receptions of different specifications, they will naturally not be sloppy, and there are very detailed and strict standards internally.
Strictly speaking, the national strength of the Middle East is not very strong, but in recent years, the Middle Eastern tycoons want to get closer to China and make friends.
At the same time, they have spent a lot of money, purchased a lot of military equipment and a large number of drones, and signed many cooperation contracts that satisfied both parties.
This also led to The relationship between the two sides has become harmonious, and the Chinese top management also attaches great importance to the etiquette reception.
For foreign guests of this level, the”Hongqi Concierge Fleet” is generally used for reception vehicles.
This”Hongqi Concierge Car” naturally has nothing to do with the private Hongqi, but is developed and designed by a special team of the state.
However.
The previous generation of Hongqi Concierge Car, which has not yet been modified, has reached the age when it needs to be modified.
However, the several designs that have been brought out have always been controversial, and some people even think that the appearance and temperament are not as good as the previous generation.
This has also caused related matters to be delayed again and again.
After all, the appearance changes of the concierge fleet also have far-reaching impacts!
So several design plans have been arguing.
Just when several people in the office were still discussing.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door again.
“Director Qin, the department below has suddenly submitted a report about the changes to the ceremonial fleet. They think there is a suitable civilian model to recommend. Please take a look at it first…”
A young man in uniform came in to report.
Qin Siyuan, the director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was stunned and looked surprised.
“Civilian models are not suitable, right? ?”
The diplomatic department actually purchases some civilian brand cars every year, including many luxury cars of joint venture brands. This is because when receiving foreign guests and leaders traveling, it is necessary to take into account the needs of different occasions.
But for higher levels and solemn occasions, the currently recognized”national car”, that is, the”Red Flag” model developed internally, is still the main model.
To put it simply.
When it comes to this level of fleet, ordinary civilian models are completely unqualified, whether in terms of appearance, temperament, configuration, or safety.
Especially in terms of safety, it is the top priority, and the starting point is to be bulletproof and explosion-proof.
The entire vehicle’s glass and steel and aluminum body must be specially customized to meet the standards.
However.
When Qin Siyuan picked up the report and took a look, the questioning look in his eyes quickly dissipated, revealing an expression of discovering something rare.
“The design of this car…is excellent!”
“The appearance is grand and elegant, and the overall solemnity and calmness are beautiful. The most rare thing is that it has a high degree of integration of traditional elements. It can definitely be designed by top masters. Look at the front face and brand logo. Which civilian Hongqi car factory designed it?”
Qin Siyuan was a little surprised. Of course he recognized this car logo. The department that now specializes in the development of state vehicles was separated from Hongqi a long time ago.
I didn’t expect that Hongqi, a car company, still retains such a strong R&D capability?
However.
When he saw some of the information behind, he was even more surprised.
“Special steel materials for the car body are directly supplied to the army’s armored tanks. Glass has been used as a cockpit material for the next generation of fighter jets and has been studied. Its safety has completely exceeded the standard level.……”
After reading it, several people looked at each other.
With such a background, it would definitely be enough to serve as a ceremonial motorcade.
In this way, wouldn’t the current problem be solved? ?
“It is said that the company is currently facing a shortage of production lines due to a large number of military orders, and that not many cars are being mass-produced.”
After making several phone calls and learning the specific information, several people looked at each other.
“What are you waiting for?”
…………
…………
Hongqi headquarters.
Outside the huge car factory.
Lu Yan led a group of employees, with a gratified smile on his face like an old father.
It’s not easy.
Today, the first 100 mass-produced Hongqi S9 cars have finally rolled off the assembly line.
Now all the cars have completed the inspection.
“Boss, all the new car batches and inspection processes have been completed. After today, the trailers can be shipped.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Yang Dahai came over to report.
After completing the most basic offline test, the 100 red and white Hongqi S9s were all parked in the open-air parking area.
Because of the paint batch problem, the first 1,000 orders do not support customized paint colors, but unified red and white colors. Only later will black and white be available.
This is also more in line with the positioning of the Hongqi S9, which will not have too many exaggerated colors, but will be more stable and atmospheric.
So at a glance, this batch of cars is unified and coordinated, especially spectacular, with a sense of solemnity like an army! []
Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction:
“That’s good. Let me take a photo first, so that consumers all over the country can see that our Hongqi is not unable to deliver any cars.”
After repeatedly standing up the car owners, even though Lu Yan is thick-skinned, he is a little embarrassed.
But there is really no other way.
At the beginning, the production capacity of the Hongqi S9 car was arranged to produce at most 10,000 units a month.
According to Lu Yan’s estimation, it should be enough.
After all, at this price, the consumer group is fixed.
But who would have thought that the production capacity would be cut off continuously…
Of course.
Delivering these 100 new cars smoothly to the first batch of car owners is Lu Yan’s final bottom line.
They Hongqi cannot forget the original intention of making cars just because they have a large number of military orders.
Click.
After taking a photo neatly,
Lu Yan posted a Weibo
【The first batch of mass-produced cars has rolled off the assembly line]
With pictures, it was soon watched by many fans and netizens
“Wow!!”
“.So many Hongqi S9!!”
“Oh my god, it’s so spectacular!!”
“So cool!!”
“Oh my god, this car is finally going to be delivered!!”
“Do you feel that so many Hongqi S9s are placed together, with the special red and white color scheme, a bit like a reception motorcade, especially solemn?”
“You are right. I ordered this car just to do business and to entertain business guests. Just looking at its appearance is enough to shock people. It also has a military aura, which is much better than BMW and Mercedes-Benz!!”
“Envy! The first batch of car owners can pick up their cars now!!”
When everyone saw this photo, they commented on it. They were absolutely satisfied with the temperament and appearance of this car.
Some people even said that they bought this car just to entertain the big boss.
This statement was recognized and praised by many people.
As soon as they saw it, they felt that this car was very suitable for reception!
Lu Yan also noticed this comment and sighed that the public’s eyes were really sharp.
Even on the previous Earth, this concept car was designed specifically for state protocol and used for business reception. With the design level of this car, it was completely at the level of fried fish!!
But at this moment.
A hurried voice sounded
“Boss, something bad has happened. There are more people outside the company.……”
An employee came hurriedly
���”Huh?”
Lu Yan was a little confused for a moment!
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Damn!
Who is coming this time?
……
A few minutes later
(Wang Mahao) Two strange men in uniform are sitting in the office
“Hello, Mr. Lu. I am Qin Siyuan, the Special Administrative Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is Cao Lianhua, the leader of the Special Administrative Vehicle Group for Protocol Reception.
“Hello Hello……”
Lu Yan quickly extended his hand, feeling mixed emotions.
The Air Force just left yesterday, why are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here? ?
What are they doing here? ?
“I would like to ask, are you here to order our steel or glass production capacity?”
Lu Yan asked subconsciously.
As soon as he said this,
Qin Siyuan and the others looked at each other and laughed.
“Mr. Lu, you misunderstood. Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not engage in military research and development, nor is it involved in the aviation field. Why do we need these?”
“That’s good.”
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The newly expanded production lines have not yet been laid out. He really can’t give it to him.
“However, we are here on behalf of the country’s diplomatic department. Recently, a group of ceremonial vehicles have reached the deadline for replacement, but there is no suitable new model to replace them. We are here on behalf of the country to officially purchase 100 Hongqi S9s of the same color as the important diplomatic ceremonial vehicles for service.”
Pah.
Qin Siyuan took out a state document.
“hiss……”
Looking at this document,
Lu Yan’s scalp went numb!!.
I’m a sabmado
