Chapter 469: Copycat is also the way to strengthen a country (Third update, please subscribe)

Wolf cub!
In Nanyang, there are many wolf cubs like Jiahe.

In fact, this is the most special thing about Nanyang enterprises. Many seemingly independent enterprises are actually shadow subsidiaries of large companies. Their founders were born in large companies, and their products are also supporting large companies. Their companies are large companies. part of the supply chain.

But among these shadow subsidiaries, there are also companies whose products directly compete with the parent company. The managers of these companies also come from large companies.

What is the purpose of creating these businesses?
It is to "raise wolves".

The "Wolf Raising Plan" was proposed by Li Yian last year. To put it simply, it is to send the company's key personnel to start companies outside, so as to activate the Nanyang business community and avoid the situation of one company being the only one.

The most special thing about Nanyang is that the company's investment involves all aspects. In order to lay the industrial foundation, it invested in many fields, from infrastructure construction to enterprise construction, and most of these enterprises were "exclusive operations", that is, "one enterprise, one enterprise" ".

Faced with this situation, what did Li Yian think of?
Monopolistic management will only lead to arrogance and sluggishness.

How can a market without sufficient competition cultivate successful companies?

If there is only one company in an industry, there is no competition. So after careful consideration, Li Yian proposed the "Wolf Raising Plan", which is to send company employees to start businesses and provide them with loans, investments, and even markets to help them develop.

By artificially establishing competitors to make various industries active, only when competitors appear will large companies not be left flat because of industry monopoly.

The reason for doing this is to cultivate competitors for the company.

How far will these "wolf cubs" grow in the future?
No one knows the answer, but their emergence has indeed enlivened the market and broken the monopoly of large companies on the industry.

Before they grow up, those large companies are like she-wolves, constantly providing small businesses with the milk they need for growth.

"Manager Fang said this is a lawn mower. It is a new product from the United States. It was just launched last year and is very popular in the market! Each one can sell for hundreds of dollars."

……

The most familiar term in the other world is the "catfish effect", which makes oneself stronger by cultivating competitors.

In a simple sentence, a large amount of information was revealed. Although he didn't know how the company obtained it, Ma Fei didn't care about it at all. What he cared about was whether the product could be produced.

Pointing to the lawnmower in front of him, Ma Fei lowered his voice and said.

This is called the united front of the enterprise. It is the so-called industrial aircraft carrier.

Jiahe Chainsaw Factory, the factory director’s office.

"We need a group of wolf cubs! In this world, it is difficult for a lone wolf to survive. Only by forming a pack of wolves can we defeat the real opponents - foreign competitors in the fierce market competition!"

Guan Pengju asked curiously.

"Ma Fei, what kind of thing is this? It looks like a trolley!"

He opened his mouth and said:
"Director, please take someone to dismantle this lawn mower and see if we can copy it!"

"However, according to Manager Fang, this lawn mower is not a product on the market. It is a prototype machine being developed by a company in the United States and has not yet been put on the market."

Because in essence they are one, which is what Li Yi'an emphasized as "Nanyang is a company." Who are the competitors of this company?

This is what Li Yi'an said at the company's executive meeting last year, and it is also the reason why industry leaders in Nanyang cultivate "wolf cubs".

With the help of workers, the crates were unpacked.

It is not an internal competitor, but an external one. Those foreign companies are competing to the death with those foreign companies. In this case, everyone must form a close alliance.

"let me see."

After checking it carefully, Guan Pengju said.

"This product doesn't seem to be complicated. It's just a gasoline engine driving a rotating blade. There should be no problem in imitating it." Nodding, Guan Pengju immediately called a few people, took out tools, and divided this one by three. The lawn mower was torn into pieces.

While Guan Pengju was studying the gasoline engine, looking at the parts on the ground, Ma Fei asked:
"How about it, can we imitate it?"

"Is this engine made in the United States? The workmanship is so good! This engine is much better than similar engines in BMW. It is smaller, lighter and more powerful. This Yankee is truly a Yankee."

Holding the parts, Guan Pengju said with some emotion.

"Who asked you to make an engine? Just use a domestically produced BMW engine instead! When we make a chain saw, the engine we use is also from BMW."

Ma Fei paused and then said:

"With a domestic engine, are you still worried that you won't be able to carry a lawn mower?"

"That said, but."

Guan Pengju held the activated accessories and said:

"This engine is really advanced, with a power of 4KW. In terms of power, there is no problem in replacing it with a similar engine from BMW/"

"You mean, let's build engines?"

Guan Pengju studied it carefully and then said.

"However, the blade of this lawn mower should be made of an alloy material. I don't know if the steel mills in Nanyang produce similar materials. However, the steel material we use to make the saw blades should be no worse than it. It can be directly replaced with it!"

Picking up the lawn mowing saw blade, Guan Pengju continued:

"But I just don't know if such a replacement can meet the standard in terms of lifespan. We need to conduct further experiments on this!"

“Then let’s build this product first!”

Ma Fei said immediately.

"When can we build it? Can we catch up with the exhibition in the second half of the year?"

"One month!"

Guan Pengju laughed and continued:

"Speaking of it, it's not more complicated than our chain saw. It only takes a month at most! I'll definitely be able to catch up with the exhibition by then."

Just when Renhe Chainsaw Factory received a lawnmower, a seemingly low-tech product, many companies in Nanyang received certain products, including "wolf cubs" like Renhe and Fenghe. As an industry leader, as the earliest harvester manufacturer in Nanyang, it not only produced the first rice harvester in Nanyang, but also designed the world's first cassava planter and harvester, which solved the problem of mechanized cassava planting and harvesting. This saves a lot of manpower for Nanyang agriculture.

However, the management of Fenghe Company is very clear that cassava is only a substitute food. After all, the staple food in Nanyang is still rice. Therefore, solving the mechanized planting of rice has become the biggest issue before the company.

However, compared with cassava planting, mechanized rice transplanting is more difficult, and just when they were making little progress, they received a rice transplanter.

"Is this a rice transplanter?"

Company manager He Ming and more than 20 technicians from the project team gathered around this unmarked rice transplanter. They were surprised but also confused.

"Yes, I heard that they are engineering samples obtained by the intelligence agency through some special channels."

He Ming said after briefly explaining it to the technicians around him.

"This is our only prototype, and the technical information is very limited, so your next task is to first figure out its working principle, and then wait until you have made all the preparations and figured out the principle before you start testing this engineering prototype. We conducted anatomy to formally understand the entity from its internal mechanical structure, parts, and materials, and then copied it exactly as it was.”

Copying the original is actually a "copycat". In this mechanical age, many mechanical equipment can be completely copied through reverse engineering. This is not difficult. It may involve a series of issues such as metal processing and parts tolerances. But as long as you explore slowly, you can always solve the corresponding problems. And then realize the technological progress of the enterprise in this process...
