Chapter 82 A crisis like the sky is falling and the earth is sinking!
On the side of Xuanhuamen Avenue in the south of Bianjing City is a huge factory covering an area of hundreds of acres. Every day, there are quite a huge four-wheeled carriage.
There are four-wheeled carriages that carry people and cargo. Oh, but you can't call them a carriage, because there are also many types of four-wheeled carriages designed for cattle, donkey, and mules.
This factory is the headquarters of Bianjing City, which is open to traffic.
Because Lin Tong, the owner of the Sitong Train, is a legendary figure. He was originally just a young man in a small car manufacturing workshop. Because he developed the four-wheeled carriage steering shaft, he happened to meet the Agricultural Bank of China's commercial loans and the central bank built cement roads across the country. Thanks to the explosive economic development, the Sitong Train expanded rapidly to become the largest car manufacturer in the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, four-wheelers running on all roads across the country have a net profit of millions of yuan a year. As cement roads continue to expand, the demand for four-wheelers is still expanding.
Even though the economic downturn caused by the Baojia method recently has not affected the sales of four-wheeled vehicles. Because the Sitong Train has formed a brand effect, the cars produced by the Sitong Train are indeed of excellent quality, and the steering shaft technology is indeed ahead of other manufacturers, so sales have not been affected.
Lin Tong led a group of senior executives from technical schools to inspect the production of Bianjing headquarters. Technical directors Lin Di and Lin Tonghui reported: "...After more than a year of adjustment, our headquarters has formed the ability to operate assembled lines.
Wood treatment, wheels, axles, steering axles, chassis, brake systems and other components have all formed assembly line operations. Although this classification is still a bit rough according to technical requirements, the productivity formed is still amazing.
With the same manpower, using assembly lines to produce vehicles is not only more standardized, but also more efficient. With the same number of people, the efficiency has been increased by about four times. In other words, the vehicles that can be produced in our Bianjing headquarters every year have almost reached about 30% of the vehicles produced by the vehicle dealer throughout the year!"
"hiss!"
Lin Tong and others took a breath, and this efficiency was really amazing.
Lin Tong calmed down his mind and pondered for a moment, saying, "This is a major breakthrough. Thank you Director Lin for your hard work, Mr. Wu..."
A young man who looked like an accountant quickly said, "Here is here, Mr. Lin."
Lin Tong turned around and smiled at the young man: "You young men are really amazing."
The young man Wu Yi is the financial director of Sitong Train. He smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you praised the wrong person. This technological breakthrough was completed by the Technical Department."
Lin Tong laughed: "Of course I know, but the financial system you built for me is no less effective than the research on assembly line operations. Moreover, the technical department is all your alumni, so it's okay for me to praise it like this."
Lindi smiled and said, "That's right, although I am the leader in the technical department, the young people are really working. Oh, to be honest, the technical school students have top-notch skills and vision, and their flexible thinking makes me ashamed. As a technical director, I can only work for a few more years and have to be virtuous. If I don't give up virtuous, it will hinder the progress of the company."
Lin Tong glanced at Lin Di, with a sincere look on his face.
Lindi is Lin Tong's uncle and is the most staunch supporter of his founding of Sitong Train. Now that Lindi says this, Lin Tong really sees whether Lindi is talking sarcastic, but looking at Lindi's expression, he is really quite sincere.
Lin Tong: "Mr. Lin, don't say this. Mr. Wu, the technical department has successfully overcome the difficulties and the rewards should be given."
Wu Yi nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'm ready long ago."
Lin Tong nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Lin, the technology of the Sitong Train can still be ahead of the market, but the small profit car dealer and the Sihai Car dealer are catching up. We cannot be careless. Plastic tires and shock absorbers must be developed quickly. We must maintain technological leadership in order to always lead the way!"
Lindy nodded: "Don't worry, those young men are working hard to develop."
"...In addition, assembly line operations should be promoted as soon as possible. According to my prediction, the supply shortage is coming, and the market will soon be saturated. At that time, the so-called era of quality and low price is coming. Whoever has a good and cheap carriage can maintain its advantages. Our assembly line operations can greatly reduce costs. This is a big killer. As long as we promote it, if our car is reduced by 20%, we can get at least 45% of the market!"
Lin Tong said passionately.
The executives applauded.
Next, Lin Tong inspected the entire factory and encouraged some employees. After nearly a morning of inspection, he returned to the huge chairman's office with satisfaction.
Back at the chairman's office, only the financial director Wu Yi was left by his side.
Lin Tong is lying on the huge boss chair. The so-called boss chair is a trend that has emerged in recent years.
In recent years, fur business in the northwest has been very prosperous, especially sheepskin, cowhide and other furs. A large number of furs have poured in, giving birth to many fur industries.
The boss chair is one of them.
The boss's chair is stuffed with cotton and sheepskin or cowhide on the outside. It is not only very comfortable to sit, but also looks quite high-end. It is the most popular decoration for businessmen.
While feeling the comfort of the boss' chair, Lin Tong said to the financial director Wu Yi: "Is the financial report this quarter still OK?"
Wu Yi, who is less than 30 years old, smiled and said: "The growth momentum is still continuing, and it is still maintaining a 30% growth. However, your prediction makes sense, and the market is about to approach saturation. As the roads in the northwest region are connected, four-wheelers can still maintain a wave of growth. After that, there will be no expansion speed as fast as in previous years. We must enter the field of deep cultivation and careful cultivation."
Lin Tong took a deep breath: "You are right. The northwest region is a big piece of fat, but the situation is different now. Now more than ten car dealers in the country are staring at the northwest region. Although our Sitong Train is the leader, it is good to be able to grab a 20% share under the competition of so many companies. It is basically impossible to want more.
Moreover, the northwest is the last undeveloped pure land. It is unlikely to have such a blank market in the future, unless the Song Dynasty can take back both the Xixia and the Liao Kingdom, so the era of deep cultivation and meticulous cultivation is about to begin.”
Wu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but it doesn't matter. The principal told us that competition in the new era is a competition of comprehensive strength. Our Sitong Train Company has the most advanced technology, the deepest capital, the best brand, and the most talents. In the future competition, these are decisive factors, and we are not afraid of competition."
Lin Tong nodded. He knew that the principal Wu Yi mentioned was Ouyang Bian.
Wu Yi came from the first technical school, which was highly expected by Ouyang Bian, so Ouyang Bian personally compiled textbooks, and personally named the principal, and went to take some courses.
Lin Tong nodded: "I have been thinking recently and have read a lot of books, especially the textbooks written by your principal, which has indeed given me a lot of inspiration, especially some commercial ones.
Recently I have been thinking about the so-called subdivided fields. Although the cars in our car shop are divided into labor and family cars, there is actually not much difference in technology. I am wondering whether we will start subdividing here."
Wu Yi asked: "What does Mr. Lin mean?"
Lin Tong said: "Now, industrial vehicles are not called industrial vehicles at all, but household vehicles with roofs that are dismantled. The transportation capacity, sturdy, convenience, and durability are all insufficient. I was wondering whether we should specialize in industrial vehicle technology?
Also, family cars should be classified. The family cars we produce now do not meet the needs of most people, but only caters to the needs of wealthy people and are not satisfied with the needs of well-off families.
Can we produce smaller and simpler ones, mainly cheaper, so that we can enter thousands of households?
There are also some rich people. The four-wheeled vehicles they use are safe and sturdy. On the one hand, it is more important to be comfortable, with a brand and a strong character..."
The more Lin Tong said his eyes became brighter, and he felt that he had found another way to expand the four-way traffic!
Wu Yi admired Lin Tong very much. Listening to Lin Tong's thoughts, he couldn't help but show his admiration. This path is extremely feasible, but he had a message that he did not tell Lin Tong.
"Mr. Lin, your idea is really a genius idea. However, a classmate of mine sent me a message, you may want to pay attention."
Lin Tong immediately sat upright. He knew that Wu Yi was a technical school student in the first phase. The technical school students in the previous phases all entered large enterprises, which is now the so-called top 500 enterprises in the Song Dynasty. The information they can convey is generally of great importance.
"Oh, Mr. Wu, what's the news?"
Wu Yi said solemnly: "It is said that the Regulation of the Three Divisions is planning to issue a regulation called the Market Yi Law..."
Wu Yi explained the general provisions of the Municipal Yi Law. The more Lin Tong listened, the more he became, the more he became, and even trembled all over afterwards.
Lin Tong developed the Sitong Train from a handicraft workshop to such a large scale now, and his understanding of business is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. After Wu Yi talked about the provisions of the Market Yi Law, he realized the risks contained there. The more he listened, the more he became, the more he was afraid. He said with a hoarse throat: "If this Market Yi Law comes out, then the business of the Song Dynasty will have to be backed back for more than ten years!"
Wu Yi sighed: "It's not just over a decade, but it may be a devastating consequence. Business is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Once many large companies are curbed, they will collapse!
Moreover, I have read the book "Economic Crisis" written by the principal. Inspired by the crisis of Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo's economic crisis, and Qingli economic crisis, I came to a conclusion that the economy does not exist in isolation. Once a link is destroyed, it will cause an avalanche effect!
Once the market law is released, a new economic crisis will be triggered. At that time, the economy of the Song Dynasty will explode like a water-filled pig urine bubble. Then, let alone expand sales, it is afraid that even the survival of enterprises will become a problem. Especially for companies as big as ours, if there is little trouble, it may collapse!"
Lin Tong nodded heavily: "If this is the case, it would be a crisis like heaven and earth collapse!
Chapter completed!
