Chapter 82 Foreign exchange is something they can't refuse
Chapter 82 Foreign exchange is something they can't refuse
Xu Zhengyang made a simple calculation: "The price of Yaha 80 in Southeast Asia is 1900 US dollars, which is only 4370 yuan when converted into RMB."
After entering 1984, the exchange rate of RMB against the U.S. dollar was adjusted, no longer 1.9, but 2.3, 2.327 to be precise.
Over the past few years, the RMB has been depreciating, or the exchange rate has returned to normal.
Their selling price is lower than the ex-factory price of Mota Industry.
The exchange rate on the black market has nothing to do with Mota Industry.
The export of Mota industrial products must go through formal channels.
Chen Huaiqing: "The price of our motorcycles must be lower than US$1900, preferably at US$1700, or even lower in the future. After all, if there is a price war, the other party will probably sell at a substantial price reduction. That is to say, we export The price must be below 1500, at least 1300 US dollars. In other words, our cost must be reduced to 3000RMB."
Now the cost of a Mota80 motorcycle is 3300, if it is reduced to 300 yuan, there should be no problem.
Xiao Weidong: "Can they be willing?"
The factories currently cooperating with Mota Industry are all state-owned enterprises. It is not nonsense to want them to lower prices!
Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "They will be willing, because this is an export, and they earn dollars. If they want to introduce new production equipment, they must have foreign exchange."
How important foreign exchange is at this time!
In the 80s, the whole period was the period when Huaguo continued to buy, buy and buy from foreign countries. In addition, Huaguo and the United States were in a honeymoon period at this time. Basically, all kinds of things in the United States were released to Huaguo.
You know, the Soviet Union at this time is extremely powerful.
At this time, the United States had its own economic problems and was in a relatively weak state, so it had to win over Hua Guo.
"I plan to do this. All the exported motorcycles will be settled with them in US dollars. If this is the case, I believe they are willing to lower the price."
For many companies, even if they do not make money, or even lose money, they are willing to export.
Just to earn foreign exchange.
Xiao Weidong is naturally very clear about how eager the current enterprises are for foreign exchange.
"If that's the case, there's no problem."
Xu Zhengyang didn't express his opinions. He positioned himself very accurately, that is, to take good care of Mota Industry's pocketbook.
The money that should be spent must be spent, and the money that should not be spent cannot be spent.
As for Zheng Xiaping, he was in charge of the production, and he didn't have any opinions. Chen Huaiqing did what he said.
After the three had a brief meeting, Chen Huaiqing and Zheng Xiaping went to the workshop together.
"Boss, now our annual motorcycle output has reached 15, and the new mota125 motorcycle is also undergoing trial production."
"Go, go and see mota125."
For the research and development of the mota125 motorcycle, it has long been and is waiting for the engine.
After the Mota Institute of Technology perfected the engine technology, Mota Industry hurriedly started production.
Now the engine workshop of Mota Industry is fully committed to producing the MT125 engine. This engine is a single-cylinder four-stroke engine, and the engine is started by kicking.
The electric starter is also being researched, and it will definitely be used in the future.
Chen Huaiqing plans to build an engine with electric start and pedal start together. After the electric start technology matures, the kick start will be directly canceled on the engine.
Electric starting engine is the future development trend. Just press the start button to start the engine. Who wants to use pedals.
Mota Industry does not have a good industrial design team now, and Chen Huaiqing is mostly responsible for product design.
Chen Huaiqing basically took the design of the motorcycle that later generations saw, roughly drew a shape, and then asked them to perfect it.
The importance of industrial design really goes without saying.
Products with industrial design look full of technology, exquisite and beautiful.
Otherwise, it will look like a fool, and there must be no problem in terms of function.
But it just doesn't look good.
It doesn't look good, but I still want someone to buy it, so it's not embarrassing!
In the past, there was no way, because this was the only thing sold.
As long as you have a choice, you must buy something that looks good and is easy to use.
The shape of the mota125 motorcycle is definitely a classic shape, even in the 21st century, it can still be seen on the street.
Anyway, the shape of the motorcycle has not changed that much.
Red and black color, mota125 words are sprayed on the fuel tank.
The fuel tank is quite large, it can hold more than a dozen liters of oil, and the fuel consumption per 2 kilometers is quite low, only a little over [-] liters.
That is to say, when the fuel is fully filled, there is no problem at all in running hundreds of kilometers.
"Boss, the MT125 engine has a power of 6.5KW and a torque of 7.8NM. With 1L of engine oil alone, the horsepower has reached 8.6 horsepower. The power can be said to be quite strong, and it is comparable to the engine of the Neon Country."
Chen Huaiqing didn't say a word. It's actually really easy to match the data.
He knows this very well.
But products can't just look at the data, but also the manufacturing process.
The manufacturing process absolutely guarantees the quality of the product.
No matter how strong the data is, other people's products can be used for ten years, but yours can only be used for three years. Everyone knows which technology is better.
"How about the MT80 improved engine?"
The improved MT80 is a single-cylinder horizontal four-stroke engine. Mota Industry is not Mota Industry a year ago, but Mota Industry with an annual output of 15 motorcycles.
Before Chen Huaiqing went to Xiangjiang, he asked the Mota Institute of Technology to set up research and development project teams for different engine models.
Horizontal and vertical engines, and transmissions.
Chen Huaiqing wanted to develop CVT, but he didn't know much about CVT.
Anyway, I know one feature, that is, there is no need to step on the clutch, and it will not turn off.
Therefore, Chen Huaiqing asked the project team to study a transmission of this kind, which can automatically change gears after the motorcycle engine reaches a certain speed.
CVT!
Chen Huaiqing told the requirements, and the rest is up to the R&D personnel.
In fact, the infinitely variable speed technology has existed for a long time. I believe that with their ingenuity, it should not be too difficult to improve on the basis of the predecessors and bring forth the new.
"The MT80 improved engine has produced several prototypes."
Zheng Xiaping is very concerned about engine technology. He knows that there are several engines under research and development at the Mota Research Institute, and the progress is quite good.
After Yuzhou University received the support of Mota Industry, it invited some people from other universities to come over. The mechanical major has become the most important major of Yuzhou University.
There is no way, Mota Industry has given too much.
Chen Huaiqing flipped through the information about the MT80 improved engine. This engine is a horizontal engine and is going to replace the MT80.
Two-stroke engines have high horsepower, high fuel consumption and high pollution.
The pollution is high because lubricating oil also participates in the combustion process, so the pollution is high.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the two-stroke engine will be eliminated under the current technical conditions.
Of course, in the face of the shortcomings of the two-stroke engine, it does not mean that no one has considered improvement.
For example, the direct injection in the cylinder, the lubrication method is also changed, and it is changed to the same as the four-stroke engine.
"Is there any difficulty in producing the improved MT80?"
Zheng Xiaping said with a smile: "If it was last year, we really wouldn't be able to produce it. This is not to mention the introduction of a few new machine tools from abroad. In terms of processing capacity, we have been greatly enhanced. There is no problem in producing four-stroke engines."
Compared with two-stroke engines, four-stroke engines are more fuel-efficient, clean and environmentally friendly, and more complex in mechanism.
Mechanical products are not afraid of simple structure, but complex.
The more complex it is, the higher the requirements for the production process and the higher the probability of problems.
