Reborn in 1982: I Became the Richest Man by Repairing Cars

Chapter 145 A revolutionary management solution: Even small workshops can be highly advanced.

The development of many cooperative relationships is closely related to changes in the needs of both parties.

Beituo now needs gears supplied by the Wudaoying Parts Factory.

Jiang Hui also needed Beituo, his first major client.

In addition, the North Tooth Hospital had already made arrangements, so both sides had a certain understanding of each other's situation before meeting.

Therefore, the situation of the client being arrogant and rude did not occur.

The exchange between the two sides was very harmonious.

"Minister Lü, this is the sample we are currently producing. The raw materials are exactly the same as those used by North Gear."

"The equipment is the same equipment that North Gear has been using before."

"We have also had thorough discussions with Beijing Gearbox Co., Ltd. regarding process parameters."

"This is our initial test report, and everything meets the requirements."

Jiang Hui placed several gear samples directly on the table and then took out the test report.

Ultimately, the supply of such critical components will depend on the components themselves.

You need to be able to produce qualified products to have a basis for negotiation.

Otherwise, everything is meaningless.

"Can I keep these samples?"

From the outside, these gears look no different.

However, Lü Xiangyang also knew that whether the quality of the gears met the requirements could not be determined by visual inspection alone.

He needs to hand these things over to the quality department for verification.

"Of course, no problem. We also welcome experts from Beijing Tractor Group to visit our factory at any time."

The request wasn't unreasonable at all, and Jiang Hui agreed without any hesitation.

"Although your gear production line is leased from North Gear, and the materials are the same as theirs."

"But is this your first time producing parts?"

As the head of the purchasing department, Lü Xiangyang definitely needed to get to the bottom of the situation.

Ultimately, this matter needs to be reported to the factory before a decision is made on whether to cooperate with Jiang Hui.

"Actually, our factory's business is not limited to producing gears."

"I started Xiaojiang Repair Shop, Xiaojiang Modification Shop, and Wudaoying Parts Factory together."

"Our repair shop has an excellent reputation in the capital's automotive industry."

"Even the imported cars of the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Embassy in Russia are repaired by us."

"Now it is also a designated repair point for various units such as Haidian Town, Jianguo Hotel, and Great Wall Hotel."

"As for the tuning shops, our results are equally remarkable."

"Whether it's the BJ212, the CA10B, or any other type of car, we have a wealth of modification experience."

"We were even deeply involved in the replacement of the BAIC BJ212."

Although Liu Wenfei may have mentioned these achievements to Lü Xiangyang.

But Jiang Hui will definitely bring it out and introduce it properly.

If you don't show off your abilities, people will inevitably look down on you.

After all, in the eyes of Beituo, the Wudaoying Parts Factory was just a small workshop with only a few people.

Even though this small workshop has much better equipment than other workshops, it cannot escape the situation of being a small workshop.

But after Jiang Hui gave his explanation, the situation changed slightly.

I'm self-employed, but my skills are top-notch.

Even other state-owned enterprises can't compare.

Sure enough, Lü Xiangyang's expression subtly changed after hearing Jiang Hui's words.

"In addition to these businesses, our Wudaoying Parts Factory has another core business, which is refurbishing gearboxes."

"Whether it's the 3MT used on the BJ212 or the 4MT used on the SH760, we can solve all kinds of problems."

""

"Even reusing gearboxes that are about to be scrapped."

"There is a lot of work involved, and the reprocessing of gears is a very crucial step."

Jiang Hui added further details.

"You can also refurbish gearboxes?"

Lü Xiangyang's interest was immediately piqued.

Refurbishing a gearbox is no simple task.

Repairing a worn-out gearbox requires even more technical skill.

Simply machining gears is far from enough.

"That's right. In fact, I helped solve many of the problems with the new 4MT developed by North Motors this year."

""

"To put it bluntly, our factory's research on gearboxes is still in a leading position in China."

Although Chinese people value humility, one cannot remain humble forever.

When it's time to unleash our power, we should definitely show off a little.

"Okay, I'll report this to the factory leaders later."

"We'll try to organize a visit to your factory next week with the quality department staff."

"Only after passing this inspection will our discussions on subsequent cooperation have any further meaning."

After thinking for a moment, Lü Xiangyang gave a relatively positive response.

This was our first meeting today. The samples Jiang Hui brought over still need to be tested and confirmed internally by Beituo.

The fact that a joint inspection team can be arranged to go and inspect the area next week is already considered quite fast.

Jiang Hui naturally had to express his opinion on this.

"We welcome experts from Beijing Tractor Group to visit our site and provide guidance at any time."

"Our factory's phone number is also in this document."

"It's an honor to meet Minister Lü today. Would it be convenient for us to have a casual dinner together tonight?"

Even though it's the first time meeting, there's a high probability the other person won't come out for dinner.

Especially before things are finalized, people like Lü Xiangyang will be even more cautious.

Whether they come or not is one thing, whether you invited them or not is another.

"I have something to do today, let's do it next time."

As Jiang Hui predicted, Lü Xiangyang refused.

However, Jiang Hui was not discouraged at all.

If the other party actually goes out to eat, he might actually have a headache.

This is because it means the other party may have a big appetite, and the likelihood of them asking for more money in the future is much higher.

These more cautious leaders are actually easier to approach.

As long as there is proper communication during holidays, there shouldn't be any major problems.

With the conversation having progressed to this point, the first meeting was naturally about over.

"Brother Hui, do you think Beituo will agree to purchase gears from us?"

"They only asked about the price casually today."

On the way back, Zhang Lei said with some concern.

"Most likely."

"They haven't even seen our factory, so they certainly won't make any promises lightly."

"Let's go back and prepare for next week's inspection first."

Jiang Hui said calmly.

The factory of Wudaoying Parts Factory is a warehouse rented from the street office.

The production line leased from North Gear was assembled there according to the original layout.

Judging from the requirements of this era, there is no major problem.

Many small workshops are in much worse condition than this.

However, in Jiang Hui's view, there are still many areas that need improvement.

He just hadn't focused on this aspect before.

So after returning to the factory, he immediately called Ji Shigui, Lin Yuanwu and others over for a meeting.

"As you may have heard, we are preparing to compete for the gearbox gear order from Beituo."

"Next week, a team of experts from multiple departments, including the quality department and purchasing department of Beituo, will come to conduct an inspection."

"In addition to verifying our equipment and parts, on-site management and quality management are definitely key areas of verification as well."

Jiang Hui felt it was necessary to take this opportunity to thoroughly review the management of the several factories.

Even though it's a small workshop, it should have a unique feel.

This may not be the key to the final victory, but it is definitely a plus.

Around 2000, if you visited a state-owned enterprise factory, a private enterprise factory, and a factory owned by a Japanese company, you would find many obvious differences.

Sometimes you don't even need anyone to introduce you; you can tell from the scene which are state-owned enterprises, which are private enterprises, and which are Japanese companies.

Jiang Hui dislikes the Japanese, but that doesn't stop him from learning from their experience in factory management.

Things like 5S management and Kanban management can definitely be used in advance.

If we give the inspection team a surprise, the subsequent cooperation will go much more smoothly.

"I will be developing a series of factory management rules, regulations, and work processes in the next few days."

"Standardized operating procedures for the equipment and technical standards for gear processing will also be clearly defined."

"Going forward, everyone must follow the standards and procedures."

Jiang Hui began to explain his various ideas to everyone.

Sometimes, you don't need to consult with people so much; you can just tell them your decision and let them carry it out.

This is actually more efficient.

In particular, when it comes to many things related to on-site management, no one else has as much experience as Jiang Hui.

Even if some people don't understand, we have to come to understand it through implementation.

So for the next few days, everyone, whether at the repair shop or the parts factory, was extremely busy.

Jiang Hui even established clear rules for organizing the various repair tools in the shop.

All tools should be returned to their proper place after use, neatly arranged.

At the warehouse, various area boundaries were clearly marked with green and yellow paint.

The signs for pedestrian walkways and work areas are also very clear.

The area was thoroughly cleaned and tidied.

"Everyone must ensure that the restroom remains as clean as it was after using it."

"We absolutely will not allow a situation where the factory looks clean and tidy on the outside, but the restrooms smell terrible when you walk in."

In the end, Jiang Hui didn't even spare the bathroom from cleanliness.

To many people, this might be a very small matter, and there's absolutely no need for Jiang Hui to spend his energy managing it.

However, Jiang Hui had a different opinion.

For a factory, the cleanliness of its restrooms is actually quite representative.

Factories that can keep their restrooms next to the workshop clean and tidy are usually well-managed in all aspects.

Conversely, a place where even the restrooms are unbearable to stay in definitely has some shortcomings in its management that need to be reflected upon.

Amidst this rectification process, the Wudaoying Parts Factory welcomed a joint inspection team from Beituo.
