Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 176: New motorcycle rolls off the assembly line

Views:

Feng Yu gave Mike Liu some advice. The company should not only focus on industrial design, but also engage in furniture design, decoration design, etc., and these will make more money in the future.

Feng Yu's words gave Mike Liu a lot of inspiration, and he also found that he had hit a dead end. Without industrial design, wouldn’t other designers be able to show their talents

With this money, they can recruit more professional talents, and the company will definitely develop rapidly. As long as the brand is established and its popularity increases, orders will continue to flow in the future, and prices will naturally rise. Mr. Feng is simply a genius!

A week later, after Feng Yu made many comments and revisions, the motorcycle shape was finally finalized.

This motorcycle, named Songjiang Generation, has a displacement of 125cc, which is slightly larger than the mainstream 50-100cc on the market. The fuel tank is only 10L, which is slightly smaller than the mainstream 12-15L on the market, but it is equipped with a reserve fuel tank of about 1L. , enough to ensure that the motorcycle will not run out of gas halfway.

Originally, Feng Yu wanted to get a 150cc engine, but the current policy stipulates that if the engine exceeds 125cc, it will not be issued a license plate. It's easy to say that in rural areas, there are often unlicensed motorcycles riding around, and the traffic police are even from the countryside, so they have no control over them at all. But things are different in cities. If you are caught, you will be fined or even have your car impounded!

Feng Yu's car is designed with a displacement of 125cc, which just competes with Honda, which is currently the best-selling imported motorcycle on the market. Honda is already the number one motorcycle manufacturer in the world, and its popularity is unparalleled for a while. The Soviet Union No motorcycle can compete with it in China, let alone domestic motorcycles with worse technology.

But this Songjiang generation not only adopts the most advanced technology of the Soviet Union, but also achieves the ultimate in shock absorption, and the appearance design is very beautiful, far more attractive than Honda motorcycles!

The motorcycle adopts a straight beam design, which reduces the height of the fuel tank and makes the seat more spacious and comfortable, especially the shelf at the back, which is generally not available on Soviet-style motorcycles and is also rare on island country motorcycles.

The big headlight at the front is big and bright, and the shock absorption is even more outstanding. Feng Yu took a test ride and found that it was not too bumpy when riding over some potholes. It felt like it was not inferior to future generations.

The Soviet Union's technology is really good in this regard, and it is probably in line with the national conditions. The roads in the island country are also relatively well built, so the shock absorption is slightly poor. The road lighting is also good at night, so the car lights are not too bright. But these Soviet technologies are completely suitable for China. These are two relatively good propaganda points.

The biggest publicity point is the appearance of the motorcycle. In addition to the fuel tank, seats, etc., the front part of the motorcycle is also very beautifully decorated.

At this time, there was no windshield on the front of the motorcycle, and even the speedometer and other items were directly exposed to the outside. Feng Yu asked for a small windshield to be added. The requirement was not particularly high to ensure that the front would fly over. Don't just hit the speedometer directly.

Made of plastic, it's very cheap, but of course it's also very fragile. Feng Yu even said frantically that except for necessary places, other decorative parts can be replaced with plastic, all of which can reduce the weight of the car body and reduce material costs.

This was opposed by everyone including Li Mingde and Hou Haitao.

Does Feng Yu have a special liking for plastic? The electric fan is made of plastic, and the humidifier is also made of plastic. These are small household appliances, so it doesn't matter. But things are different now. Can motorcycles be fooled by plastic ones

Bumps and bumps are inevitable. If it’s made of plastic, won’t it break if you’re not careful? We have just produced the first generation of motorcycles, and you want to make a defective one? You, Feng Yu, are not afraid of embarrassment, we are! Not only does it embarrass the factory, it also embarrasses Bingcheng!

In the end, only the front windshield was replaced with plastic, and the rest still chose metal. Feng Yu curled his lips with some disdain. Is there any difference between plastic ones? Use it the same way.

Besides, who do you think is a careless motorcycle rider? Who would hit me with a driver? If you accidentally hit it, what's the difference between plastic and iron? Aren't they both broken? The replacement cost of plastic is even lower!

On the spray paint, Feng Yu quarreled with Li Mingde and the others again. This time when it was Li Mingde's turn to save money, Feng Yu decided to spend more.

It's just an ordinary spray paint, do you want it to be so good? It is necessary to ensure that it is not easy to fade or wear out, but also to ensure that the color is bright and attractive, mainly bright red and bright blue.

Isn’t military green bad? This kind of paint is the most popular now and it’s cheap. You buy a motorcycle and ride it anyway, so what does the color matter

But Feng Yu is very insistent on this. It must be bright and eye-catching colors. People must like it and notice it at first sight. This is the key to sales.

Li Mingde and the others all knew that Feng Yu was far superior to them in sales, and it would not be an exaggeration to say he was a sales expert. From the time Feng Yu went to CCTV to advertise, even the creativity of the advertisements impressed them.

Since it was related to sales, Li Mingde and the others took a step back and used paint with higher price and better quality. Feng Yu patted his chest and assured that this motorcycle would definitely be able to sweep the domestic market, and it would not be impossible for it to even be sold abroad in the future!

Li Mingde felt that Feng Yu was a little too optimistic. He was not without ambitions, but he always felt that the motorcycle brand that had just been launched would definitely not be a rival to those established manufacturers. He would be very satisfied if it could occupy the three northeastern provinces. If it could be sold If we go south, just like the company's agricultural machinery, the market will be hot, and that can only be a miracle.

Feng Yu immediately made a bet with Li Mingde that the motorcycle would be sold by Taihua Company. After all, the sales channels for motorcycles are still different from those for agricultural machinery, and Feng Yu guaranteed sales and accrued a certain percentage commission.

Only then did Li Mingde realize that Feng Yu was waiting for him here. It turned out that this guy wanted to get the sales rights in his hands. But thinking about Feng Yu's sales ability, he felt that it was not impossible to try, but the sales volume must be set high!

If the two production lines are produced at full capacity, they can produce 200,000 units a year, or even more. He originally estimated that the sales volume will be more than 100,000 units in the first year, and will continue to grow in the second year, ensuring one-year growth. The rate is above 10%, and we strive to reach the peak of 200,000 within five years.

Since you, Feng Yu, want to underwrite sales, okay, then the sales volume will be 120,000 units in the first year, and the annual growth rate will not be less than 30,000 units. After three years, the sales volume will reach 200,000 units. Do you dare?

Feng Yu smiled. They had no idea how hot China's motorcycle market would be in the future. Although it can't compare with the period after the millennium, the first peak sales period was in the early 1990s!

With the performance and appearance of Songjiang motorcycles, if Feng Yu can’t get a share of the pie, he’s in vain!

"Mr. Li, I agree to this condition. Let's sign the contract."~~~Suddenly I found that there were over a thousand recommendation votes. Let's continue with three updates tomorrow. Thank you for your support.
