Chapter 475: Fuxing Ruikang Van

'Earning ten thousand yuan is not bad. You can increase the annual output at any time. Besides, the new factory on your side will be completed soon.' The new factory Chen Yinghua was referring to belonged to Furuida Automobile Company.

Foryou Motors is a passenger car enterprise under Fuxing Industrial, specialising in the production of sedans.

Compared to the research and development of vans, the research and development of passenger cars is more difficult.

A van is positioned to carry goods and passengers, with the attribute of carrying goods being slightly more important.

The chassis used are all load-bearing chassis, which are of the same type as truck chassis.

The chassis of a sedan, on the other hand, uses a non-load-bearing chassis. Just the chassis alone required Fuxing Industry to conduct new research and development.

Moreover, the comfort of the sedan had to be considered, so the entire research and development process took quite a long time.

Even now, it has not been completely finalised.

Han Songlin looked into the distance at the factory under construction. This area has now become the territory of Fuxing Industry.

The development of Yanghe City has not gone in this direction, so the area had to be set aside for the factory.

A large number of Fuxing Industrial supporting factories are also located here.

'It's useless to build the factory building, it depends on the research and development.'

Chen Yinghua is very concerned about the situation of Fuxing Industrial, basically he has to visit at least two or three times a month, and sometimes five or six times.

When it first started, when Chen Yinghua came to Fuxing Industrial, Fuxing Industrial would give him a reception, and even the deputy general manager or someone would specially accompany him.

Now, when Chen Yinghua comes, they just send an office staff member to show him around.

As Fuxing Industry has grown stronger and stronger, it has become a little less concerned about various inspections.

Inspections are fine, but they must not affect the normal operation of the company.

Chen Yinghua naturally knows a lot about the situation at Fuxing Industry because he inspects it so often.

If there is any difficulty at Fuxing Industrial, as long as Chen Yinghua can solve it, he will immediately go back and solve it.

'When will the research and development of Furuida Motors be ready?'

Han Songlin glanced at Chen Yinghua and said, 'I don't know. It depends on the researchers.'

Chen Yinghua wanted to say, "Urge them a bit," but then he thought of Fuxing Industrial's attitude towards research and development, and let it go.

Urging Fuxing Industrial to do research and development is useless.

It's not that the R&D staff aren't working hard, but because they are already doing their best to quickly develop the product.

However, very often, R&D cannot be rushed, and it must be carried out slowly and gradually.

Sometimes a problem can even be stuck for a long time.

Then one day, the person suddenly has a flash of inspiration and solves the problem.

This is very normal.

Of course, what if no one has a flash of inspiration?

No choice, you can only use a stupid method and try one by one.

Keep trying, and you will always find the best solution.

'Boss, Chen Shi, the car is about to roll off the production line.' Zhang Leping came over with a smile on his face, wearing a straight suit today, looking exceptionally energetic.

As the general manager of Fuxing Industry, Zhang Leping is now paying more and more attention to his personal image.

Han Songlin glanced at Zhang Leping and couldn't help but think of some things about Zhang Leping.

Zhang Leping got divorced, and then six months later, he married a young girl who was more than ten years younger than him.

Zhang Leping, this guy, still knows how to be shy. He only had a few tables for the wedding, and invited his relatives for a simple meal.

Han Songlin despised Zhang Leping's behaviour. He became rich, so his wife of poverty and hardship left him?

Han Songlin suddenly said, 'Let's give the first van produced by Fuxing Industry to the city government!'

Chen Yingping had seen the Fuxing Ruikang before, and in terms of appearance, the Fuxing Ruikang was really quite good.

The cars produced by Fuxing Industry have a rather important characteristic, and that is the emphasis on the appearance of the vehicle.

Without mentioning the quality of the car, the cars of Fuxing Industry, just by their appearance, are very attractive to a large wave of people's attention.

Once people's attention is drawn to it, they find out that the quality of the car is also quite good.

Now, it seems only natural to pay for it.

'Great, just in time, our city government is currently lacking official vehicles, send us one, and we'll buy twenty.'

Han Songlin: 'Wow, Chen is so generous! Zhang, sell twenty to the city government at cost price.'

Zhang Leping smiles and says, 'Sure.'

With the official launch of the Fuxing Ruikang, which had a big red flower on the front, some necessary ceremonies were definitely required.

For example, taking photos!

Everyone stood by the car and took photos together as a souvenir.

The Fuxing Ruikang is a microbus with 7 seats, which can be used for both passengers and goods.

The two rows of seats at the back can be folded down. It can even be completely dismantled, turning it into a small truck.

The engine naturally uses the Fuxing Power L4 petrol engine with a five-speed manual transmission.

The chassis is self-developed by Fuxing Industry. As for whether it has referenced the chassis of other car companies, I can definitely say that it has.

In terms of other configurations, the biggest one should be the car air conditioner.

As for what ABS anti-lock, brake force distribution, and so on, none of these are available.

The windows are hand-cranked, and the seats are definitely not leather, just ordinary fabric.

The entire Fukxing Ruikang adheres to the design concept of reducing costs and lowering the selling price.

I won't talk about the length, width, and height, as there is not much difference from the later vans.

Because the entire car had a certain participation from Han Songlin.

Han Songlin also drew an exterior drawing of the future van or something and gave it to the designers.

After the off-line ceremony was over, Chen Yinghua left first.

Han Songlin and Zhang Leping had a meeting together.

'Ruikang has now rolled off the production line, and then there will be Furei. We must pay attention to sales. What are your plans now?'

Zhang Leping: 'Boss, we are going to, mainly, cooperate with distributors in various regions.'

'Have you considered building your own sales network?'

The people in the meeting room looked at each other. Everyone had considered building their own sales network.

After all, if there is money to be made, everyone wants to hold it in their own hands.

However, after some in-depth investigation and analysis, everyone found that things were not that simple.

'Boss, we also considered building our own sales network before. But after careful consideration, we decided against it,'

Han Songlin raised his eyebrows in curiosity and said, 'Tell me.'

In the future, Han Songlin has not heard that the car company that built its own sales network all sold its cars through 4S stores.

Even in the Internet era, car sales are still about online car selection, offline test drives and car pick-up.

'Boss, building our own sales network means that we have to deal directly with consumers, without the buffer of a 4S store. And in terms of after-sales service, we have to employ a large number of people across the country, which requires huge management costs. If we don't manage well, the whole system could collapse. Now we leave the selling of cars to 4S stores, and even if there are sales problems, they will only occur in one city. This is a thankless task.'
