Chapter 296 Three Flags Sounded the Horn of Attack
The "Time Star" trademark has been registered. As the brand name of the Directional Machinery multi-purpose three-wheel motorcycle, as Yao Yuan concluded his inspection, this product has officially entered the application filing stage.
This is a motor vehicle, therefore, to be marketed, it needs to be admitted into the automobile production catalog.
The problem is that Fangfang Machinery Factory has not yet entered the directory of complete vehicle manufacturers, which means that Fangfang Machinery does not have the qualifications to produce automobiles.
Not to mention the steering machinery, the procedures for the BMW machinery have not been completed yet.
This is the "birth certificate" issue that plagues all private car companies.
It's too difficult, so the best way is to buy and acquire qualifications to build cars by acquiring qualified local state-owned automobile factories.
However, in the entire Nangang area, only Sanqi Company (Sanqi Automobile Factory) has the qualification to build cars.
The problem is that Sanqi regards BMW Machinery as its number one rival, and it is impossible to cooperate with BMW Machinery in this regard. Not to mention directional machinery, outsiders know very little about directional machinery, but it is also owned by Yao Yuan.
Naturally, companies that do not get the chance to cooperate with Sanqi.
It is almost impossible to solve the production qualification problem in a short time.
Therefore, the only option is to "get on the bus first and pay for the ticket later".
Except for the issue of production qualifications, everything else is strictly in accordance with national standards. We will do whatever testing and inspections are required, prepare whatever materials we need, and wait for the east wind.
There is still a huge problem facing Yao Yuan.
After BMW Machinery's Pajero is put into production, it will inevitably have a head-on conflict with Sanqi, because Sanqi is also actively seeking to introduce foreign models for assembly and production.
Historically, Sanqi introduced several models of Mitsubishi Motors, which were blocked by Yao Yuan in this life, but they had other choices.
Just a few days after the mass production performance parameters and mass production time of the first multi-purpose three-wheeled motorcycle of "Time Star" were determined, Yao Yuan was talking with Wang Jianguo at the Xihai Sugar Factory. Yang Sheng hurriedly came to find him at the door.
Lin Xiaohu held him outside the conference room.
"Brother Xiaohu, I have something urgent to do with Mr. Yao." Yang Sheng was very anxious, and when it was suddenly warm but then cold, he was sweating profusely.
Lin Xiaohu said, "Director Yang, you have to wait first. Mr. Yao is discussing important matters with the factory director."
"Can you help me? I'm really in a hurry. It's extremely urgent." Yang Sheng wiped his sweat and said.
It can be seen that he rushed here non-stop after getting the news, and probably searched for Yao Yuan. Now Yao Yuan's whereabouts are becoming more and more uncertain, and some executives even tried to find the big boss, but they couldn't find him for a while.
Yao Yuan doesn't use a Big Brother pager, so it's even harder to contact him in time.
This was something Yao Yuan did intentionally. He couldn't let his subordinates develop the habit of relying on him. When he was in Eastern Europe, what happened at home was already a wake-up call.
A team must not only have centripetal force, but also have the ability to repair itself. When encountering difficulties, the team can unite and respond to the crisis without a leader.
Unfortunately, the team under Yao Yuan does not yet have this ability.
This is not something that happens overnight, it requires long-term practice and cultivation.
It was also the first time that Lin Xiaohu saw Yang Sheng so anxious. Tangtang, the executive deputy director of the Planning Bureau, was at the same level as the county magistrate and the director of the Xihai Sugar Factory. Why was he so nervous?
He said, "Director Yang, please go to the side room and wait a moment. I will report to Mr. Yao."
"Thank you, thank you Brother Xiaohu!" Yang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of going to the side room, he stood at the door of the conference room, pacing back and forth and waiting anxiously.
Not long after, Yao Yuan came out.
Yang Sheng took two steps and said, "Mr. Yao, something happened."
Yao Yuan frowned and observed Yang Sheng, but saw that this man's eyes were anxious, his expression was panicked, and his breathing was disordered. It was obvious that his mind was completely disturbed.
Something serious has happened, otherwise a deputy director at the department level would not be like this.
"Director Yang, don't worry, please come over here." Yao Yuan invited Yang Sheng to the small conference room next to him.
Yang Sheng didn't have time to sit down. After confirming that there was no one else, he suppressed his voice and said, his voice trembling, "Sanqi Company and Toyota Motor Company have reached a cooperation agreement to assemble and produce various models of Toyota."
This news almost came as a bolt from the blue.
The historical trajectory is not like this, that is to say, this matter has deviated from the history of Sanqi Company that Yao Yuan knew.
His butterfly finally instigated the trajectory of Sanqi, a local giant.
When participating in an import and export trade exhibition in the provincial capital, Yao Yuan got ahead of Sanqi. Using his understanding of the brake defects of the Pajero model, he launched a cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors and obtained an investment of US$10 million.
On the premise that it already has a partner, Mitsubishi Motors will obviously not consider a second one. After all, China's automobile market has not yet shown its infinite potential at this time.
It was originally thought that Sanqi would stop being a second-rate automobile manufacturer. Historically, Sanqi became the first domestic manufacturer to produce high-end small off-road vehicles by assembling and producing Pajero models. The Pajero models it assembled and produced,
The quality is even better than that of the original factory. It has won a strong reputation in the country and has since become one of the first-class car manufacturers in the country.
Although Sanqi's later ending was tragic, in its glory days, it outperformed other automobile manufacturers at the same time, including many first-tier manufacturers.
The news brought by Yang Sheng was so shocking that Yao Yuan did not expect that in a short period of time, Sanqi would turn to seek cooperation with Toyota Motor.
"It seems I have underestimated Luo Hui." Yao Yuan sighed.
Unexpectedly, Yang Sheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Luo Huiluo studied abroad. He has a technical background and is very knowledgeable, but this matter is not that simple."
Yao Yuan was stunned and waited for the next step.
Lin Xiaohu is Yao Yuan's confidant. Yang Sheng has nothing to hold back. He said in a deep voice, "Luo Hui is not from Mayor Zhou's line..."
Although he did not continue, Yao Yuan already understood.
"Damn it! I tried my best to prevent it, but I still failed!" Yao Yuan cursed secretly, extremely angry.
He was not angry because of Luo Hui and Sanqi Company, but because Zhou Liang classified him as his own!
What businessmen fear most is being divided into camps!
So many lessons that are so profound!
If he had to say that he has a camp, Yao Yuan would say that he is a member of the people's line!
Yao Yuan's face suddenly turned cold and became expressionless.
He said slowly, "What's Mayor Zhou's attitude?"
"He doesn't know what to do!" Yang Sheng smashed his fist into the palm of his hand, already confused, and said, "Sanqi Company moved very quickly and did a good job of keeping secrets. They had negotiated with Toyota a month ago.
The car contract has been signed and will be announced at today’s meeting, confirming that the first batch of assembled and produced cars will be on the market within three months.”
Yang Sheng took a few deep breaths and said, "Mr. Yao, BMW Machinery's Pajero off-road vehicle is scheduled to be launched on Labor Day. The time is the same as that of Sanqi Company. They came from BMW Machinery."
"The first batch of products assembled and produced by Sanqi is the Prado?" Yao Yuan asked.
Yang Sheng shook his head, "No, it's an improved version of the Land Cruiser."
Yao Yuan understood that at this time, the name Prado did not exist, and the name Overbearing had not yet come out, but the first generation of Overbearing had been born, but it was placed under the Land Cruiser J70 model as a branch.
In terms of appearance, the first-generation Baji is very similar to the Pajero. Most people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference if the logo were replaced.
The most terrible thing is that these two cars are of the same level, and the performance of the first generation is no worse than the Pajero, and there may be an advantage in terms of price.
In this day and age, it is true that the Overlord is cheaper than the Pajero.
It will be launched in three months, maybe?
Too possible.
If Sanqi is assembled in semi-knocked-down parts, it is possible to go on the market within a month!
The reason why BMW Machinery takes so long to work on the Pajero is because it needs to solve the problem of brake defects simultaneously. Yao Yuan cannot let the problematic car leave his factory, even if the problem may persist after the user has used it for five or six years.
It may even be exposed ten or eight years later.
He would have liked to sell the car with the brake defect to Japan, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance.
Even if Sanqi adopts the method of importing complete vehicles to change the label and put them on the market, it will only take a few days! Don’t forget that Sanqi has automobile production qualifications!
How long does it take to change the label? Any worker can make dozens of them in one night!
Don’t think it’s a fantasy. In the past history, this is what Sanqi Company did!
Even with more than one billion US dollars, BMW Machinery cannot be qualified to produce automobiles overnight.
The current crisis is more serious than the previous attempts by the city government to force a woman to have an abortion. It can be said to be the first big crisis Yao Yuan has encountered since he started his business.
However, crises are often accompanied by opportunities, rare opportunities.
But where is the opportunity?
When Yang Sheng saw Yao Yuan deep in thought, he was extremely anxious and said, "Mr. Yao, we have to find a way. Mayor Zhou and I had a meeting and agreed that Sanqi Company will definitely go public before BMW Machinery."
For new cars, they can go as fast as they want, no exaggeration at all."
"If Sanqi is the first to launch a new car, BMW Machinery's Pajero model will be in doubt. Toyota Motor is no worse than Mitsubishi Motors, and Toyota Motor is very powerful..."
"Mr. Yao, the only way is to speed up the launch of the Pajero model. Don't you have the agency right in your hand? BMW Machinery can be put on hold for the time being. First, the complete vehicle will be imported and rebranded, so as to seize the market ahead of Sanqi.
.”
Undoubtedly, this is indeed the only way.
Yao Yuan holds the agency rights for Mitsubishi Motors in mainland China for five years, with a share of 120,000 cars, most of which are Pajero models.
This was the news that Yang Sheng knew. He had never thought about it at this time. Some time ago, the city government thought that after Yao Yuan signed the agency right, it would affect the market of BMW mechanical Pajero models, so it forced him to marry Yao Yuan.
Now the situation has changed. The right of agency, which was originally an obstacle to them, has become a life-saving straw...
Yao Yuan had completely calmed down. He said in a deep voice, "First, BMW machinery needs to be assembled and produced, and eventually all of it must be localized and made into its own brand. Therefore, BMW machinery cannot be imported and then labeled and put on the market. Secondly,
, the complete Pajero vehicles imported from Japan will not arrive in Hong Kong in a short time."
"How could it be possible? From Japan to us, it takes three or two days to arrive in Hong Kong." Yang Sheng was puzzled.
Yao Yuan shook his head slowly, "Because Mitsubishi Motors is improving the model, it will take at least three or two months to finalize it."
