Chapter 256 Important Help!
The purpose of Chen Mo's acquisition of this company is just to carry out his first development in the real world, not to set up an intelligence organization, so there are no such strict requirements.
Chen Mo only needs to pay attention to the technical confidentiality work to prevent technology leakage, and Chen Mo naturally has plans in this regard.
This small car company acquired by Chen Mo has only more than 120 employees. Most of the main auto parts including motives and gearboxes are purchased by major auto parts suppliers, and then carried out in the factory. assembled.
The company produces more than 2,000 cars a year, mainly in the low-end market, with an average price of about 240,000 US dollars. After deducting various expenses such as production costs and employee wages, the annual profit is only a few million US dollars at most. In good times, it's easy to lose money.
The company was originally struggling to survive, but the last boss's hard work finally exhausted the company's vitality.
However, these are not problems in Chen Mo's eyes. All he needs is a company with complete vehicle design and production capabilities. It doesn't matter whether all the parts are produced by himself.
Not to mention such a small company, even other well-known large auto companies rely on parts suppliers for procurement of many parts.
You must know that there are more than 10,000 independent parts in a car, and it is impossible for any automobile company to produce these huge and various parts by itself, and the industries, technologies and equipment involved. It is too large and complex to be completed by a single company.
Automobile manufacturing is a very large industry, involving casting, forging, processing and processing of steel materials; plastic injection molding and surface treatment; tire manufacturing; paint spraying treatment; glass processing; interior fabric production; various supporting special components, valves , pumps, motors, meters, wires and other spare parts manufacturing, all automobile manufacturers, regardless of size, must rely on these various types of auto parts suppliers.
The difference in strength between companies is mainly reflected in their mastery of core automotive technologies and their independent production capabilities for core components.
The most important of these,
It is the motive, gearbox and chassis. Major automobile companies have their own motives for independent research and development. Most of the core parts such as gearbox and chassis, other transmission systems, steering systems, and braking systems are also produced independently.
The small company acquired by Chen Mo, although it does not have the ability to completely independently produce major core components, has good technology in chassis and suspension systems. The chassis of the company's production vehicles is not purchased externally, but The company independently researches and manufactures, and the company's design department is also quite capable.
The main models they currently produce are medium and large pickups and SUVs, and they can carry out various modifications to the pickups and transform them into RVs, trailers, tractors, construction vehicles and other special-purpose vehicles according to customer needs.
Relying on the company's self-developed chassis and suspension system with good performance, coupled with externally purchased Ford motives, the vehicle's cushioning and shock absorption, handling performance, power and off-road capabilities are all good, but it is only comparable to the old pickup brands, Ford, Dodge Compared with , Chevrolet, etc., there is still a certain gap, and the manufacturing cost itself is much higher in comparison, so the competitiveness in the market is not large.
However, the company has certain strengths in automobile design and manufacturing, chassis and suspension systems, as well as the design and production of some parts and components. As long as other technologies can keep up, coupled with sufficient financial support, it is fully capable of production. The performance is excellent, not weaker than the old companies, and even more powerful cars.
What Chen Mo lacks most is technology and capital.
Hydra's technical reserves in automobiles are quite strong. Not to mention now, it is the car that Chen Mo used when he was in Captain America's world. That huge Hydra bulletproof off-road sports car has a technical content that is no better than the current top-level sports car. The car is poor, and even, today's major car companies may not be able to manufacture it.
As for funds, it is not a problem. The previous auction was only for the most valuable items carried in Chen Mo's space. If necessary, the remaining ones can be auctioned several times, and the price will only be higher. high.
However, Chen Mo has no plans to auction again in the short term. Although the two billion dollars in his hand is not much, it is enough to meet the needs of Chen Mo for a long period of time. In the future, in his construction and exhibition In the future, the company's own income will naturally be greatly improved, and he does not need to invest money in it blindly.
Before deciding to acquire this company, Chen Mo asked Jarvis to conduct a comprehensive and systematic analysis of every employee in the entire company, and each person's character, ability and various aspects were clearly investigated and analyzed.
The ability of most of them is not bad. The reason why they were on the verge of bankruptcy before was because of the boss's will and lack of funds. The company's own research, design, production, technology, management, sales channels and other aspects are not too big problems. , and the ability of many employees is actually very good.
The company's research department has successfully developed a variety of automotive chassis, and the technical level is in the middle of the industry. Research on other key core components such as motive and box change is also in progress. To be able to get results, the original boss even planned to close the research department that only spent money but had no results except for the chassis.
If it wasn't for the final decision to conduct research on new models and open the market in one fell swoop, the research department needed to improve the original chassis system and develop a new chassis with more powerful performance. The research department would have been closed long ago.
The company's design department has the ability to independently complete the design of new models. All the models currently produced by the company are designed by the design department and put into production, including the modification of the vehicle. The company's design department also plans according to customer requirements. design.
And the company's production department is also very good. Whether it is the production and processing of parts or the assembly of the whole vehicle, most of the workers and technicians have a good ability and work attitude, so the quality of the pickup trucks and SUVs they previously produced are also good. They have not had much improvement before, but there is no important reason for their failure.
After Chen Mo takes over, these outstanding talents and employees will become an important help for his exhibition plan.
