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

Chapter 147 China's first domestically produced Santana has broken down!

With the order from Beituo, it basically means that Wudaoying Parts Factory has entered a stage of standardized operation.

In particular, the various rules, regulations, and process standards that Jiang Hui has developed in the past week are of extraordinary significance for promoting the development of small workshops.

Both Jiang Hui and Li Shigui attached great importance to it.

"Master, it's Grandmaster on the phone."

Jiang Hui was organizing his plans for the next period of time at his desk when the phone rang.

After Fan Weimin answered the phone, he immediately called him.

However, the words "Grandmaster" sounded so unfamiliar to Jiang Hui.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that they were talking about his father.

It's only around 10 a.m., why is she calling me? What happened?

"Hey, Dad, what do you want?"

Despite having many questions in his mind, Jiang Hui hurried over to answer the phone.

"Second brother, Shanghai Volkswagen imported a batch of parts from Volkswagen CKD at the beginning of this year and started assembling Santana cars in China."

"This sedan is said to be designed to replace the SH760 and significantly improve the comfort of domestic sedans."

"Are you familiar with the Santana?"

Upon hearing Jiang Dadong's question, Jiang Hui immediately formed some guesses in his mind.

"Although the Santana only appeared in China this year, its prototype, the Passat B2, has been sold in Germany for many years."

"It is said that only a little over 100 vehicles were assembled this year, and the overall response from the relevant units has been very positive."

"Therefore, Shanghai Automotive is preparing to discuss with Volkswagen the establishment of a joint venture to mass-produce models such as the Santana."

As one of the three most classic sedans in China, Jiang Hui knew some information about the Santana even without the help of the system.

Now that his father is discussing this topic with him, he naturally doesn't mind sharing more information.

"So, you know quite a bit about this car?"

Jiang Dadong further confirmed this.

"Of course, I know that very well."

"It is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive model with a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear trailing arm non-independent suspension."

"Front disc and rear drum brakes, equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, and a minimum ground clearance of approximately 138mm."

"As for the power, the mother is equipped with a 1.6L inline four-cylinder carburetor engine with a maximum power of about 90 horsepower."

"The engine in the BJ212 has a larger displacement, but its horsepower is not as good as others."

"However, this car isn't cheap. The factory price is 16 yuan, and the actual transaction price is close to 20 yuan."

"What, your factory has a Santana coming over for repairs so quickly?"

Jiang Hui quickly explained the basic information about the Santana.

Thus, Jiang Dadong had no further questions.

"Yes, the Ministry of Machinery Industry has allocated a Santana."

"However, recently this car has been difficult to start when cold, has an unstable idle speed after starting, lacks acceleration, and even stalls suddenly while driving. It is even more prone to stalling when the engine is warm."

"We are a designated repair shop of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, so they sent the car over."

"But we haven't dared to disassemble the engine to investigate what the problem is these past few days."

"Although each craftsman had some guesses, it couldn't be repaired without taking it apart."

"So I thought I'd find out in advance if you could fix it. If you could, I'll get someone from the Ministry of Machinery Industry to contact your factory."

Jiang Dadong will definitely seize the opportunity to get orders for his son.

Anyway, this doesn't count as poaching employees from BAIC's repair shop.

"I can definitely fix it!"

"Your recommendation of them is absolutely fine."

Although it's not appropriate to overcharge the Ministry of Machinery Industry for repairing cars.

But Jiang Hui knew that the Santana would be the king of official vehicles for the next decade or so.

Once you establish a reputation for repairing Santanas in your shop, you won't have to worry about business in the future.

The various units' designated car repair business doesn't require me to pull any strings.

The head of their logistics department will come knocking on your door.

This is a great opportunity that we definitely can't miss!

Besides, even if we can't rip off customers, we're not going to be unable to make money.

Since it's all public funds, as long as it's not too outrageous, there shouldn't be any problems.

Especially in the first few years, when there were no other shops that could easily do repairs.

That would offer even more opportunities.

Jiang Hui was practically patting his father on the chest in reassurance.

Jiang Dadong certainly wouldn't let things fall apart at this time.

Soon, a Santana appeared at the entrance of Xiao Jiang's repair shop.

"Master Jiang, I heard from the people at the BAIC repair shop that you can repair Santanas?"

A middle-aged man got off the car; you could tell at a glance he was an official.

It seems they're really in a hurry this time.

They didn't even have the driver bring it in for repairs.

"Boss, although our shop hasn't been open for long, we've already repaired high-end imported cars for many organizations, including the US Embassy, ​​the British Embassy, ​​and the Russian Embassy."

"I've also repaired Mercedes-Benz and BMWs manufactured in Germany."

"That Santana is just an ordinary sedan from Volkswagen; it's not a particularly special model for us."

Jiang Hui did not simply adopt a humble attitude.

It's okay to put on airs sometimes.

Otherwise, people might genuinely lack confidence in you.

This is not a good thing.

"Okay, I hope what you're saying is true."

The middle-aged man didn't argue much with Jiang Hui. "Our car has been difficult to start lately when it's cold. It often takes eight or ten tries to start successfully."

"Then after starting, the idle speed is unstable, acceleration is weak, and there are even occasional sudden stalls while driving."

"Could you help me figure out what's going on?"

The other person did not introduce themselves.

Jiang Hui was not surprised.

After all, in modern times, very few car repairmen would introduce themselves by name or occupation.

Even if the current situation is a bit special, it's perfectly normal for people not to introduce themselves.

People who proactively introduce themselves are often trying to achieve other goals by using their identity.

Or it could just be a way of showing off.

The officials in front of us clearly don't need this kind of showing off.

"Based on your description, it's almost certainly a problem with the engine or related components."

"However, the specific faults still need to be investigated one by one."

"The carburetor, intake and exhaust systems, and ignition system can all potentially cause problems."

"It's even possible for these systems to malfunction simultaneously."

As Jiang Hui spoke, he prepared to confirm the specific details.

At this point, you definitely can't think about having a system.

You need to convince the other party of your professionalism.

"Our car is only a few months old, and it already has so many problems?"

The other party clearly found it a bit hard to understand.

"Is this car assembled using CKD (Completely Knocked Down) technology?"

"I heard that the car manufacturing plants in Shanghai don't even have a complete production line, and the workers are unfamiliar with the situation."

"It's normal for things to go wrong during assembly."

After Jiang Hui said that, the other party had nothing to say.
