There wasn't much time to waste on this.
The heat of this matter only lasted a few minutes in Liu Kai Xuan's mind before it was suppressed.
Next, Liu Kai Xuan briefly updated Liu Yu Qian on the company's recent development.
Some time ago, Liu Kai Xuan had formulated several clear development plans for the company's growth.
Although Liu Kai Xuan later went to Kai Xuan City, the workers at the domestic company strictly followed the plans Liu Kai Xuan had put in place.
With everyone working together, the problem of car sales finally showed initial results.
The automotive industry is a very complex industrial system.
Most of the well-known foreign automotive industries have a development history of over 50 years.
Over this long period of development, they have accumulated a vast amount of advanced technology and a massive pool of technical talent.
Undoubtedly, the cars produced by these foreign companies have an absolute advantage in terms of quality.
Conversely, the car factory founded by Liu Kai Xuan is a small company that is just starting out.
The company's technical accumulation is almost zero, and its talent pool is truly meager.
In the beginning, the quality of the cars produced could only be considered passable.
The gap compared to established foreign car manufacturers was very significant.
However, the East Continent is currently in a stage of rapid economic development.
During this phase, relevant departments will provide certain support measures for enterprises with independent intellectual property rights.
After several rounds of negotiations, Ben Ma Auto has entered the candidate list for official vehicles.
At the same time, Ben Ma Auto has also secured a certain share in the taxi market.
Although the number of cars procured by each department was not large, the overall economic volume of the East Continent is considerable.
In aggregate, this still contributed thousands of orders for Ben Ma Auto.
Moreover, as time went by, this order volume continued to increase.
Speaking of which, Liu Yu Qian added, "Boss, if our car factory is to achieve industrial development!"
"We can't just rely on the current orders we've managed to secure. We must fight for market resources in car sales!"
"But our product's market competitiveness is too poor..."
"The workmanship of our products is rough, and the cost cannot be lowered!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "Alright Qian Qian, don't be anxious about this matter for now!"
"It's already a difficult feat for the company to establish a foothold. For us, this is already a significant achievement."
"Now that we have a firm footing, we can begin to accumulate strength!"
"In the future, when we have accumulated enough strength, we can be ready to soar to the sky!"
Liu Yu Qian nodded and replied, "Boss, you have no idea!"
"These words only make me feel at ease when they come from your mouth!"
"If anyone else said these words, I would just dismiss them as boasting!"
"See!"
At this moment, Liu Fang interjected, "My mom is the biggest fan. Compared to her, I'm just a little frog in a well!"
Liu Yu Qian glared at Liu Fang as a warning, "You brat, your Uncle Kai Xuan and I are discussing important matters. Don't interrupt!"
"Heh heh!" Liu Fang chuckled, then covered her mouth and remained silent.
Liu Kai Xuan continued, "Qian Qian, as far as I know, our automotive manufacturing industry should have certain advantages!"
"Imported cars from foreign countries have to pay high tariffs. How can their cost be comparable to our domestic cars?"
Liu Yu Qian replied with a wry smile, "The key issue is that the cost of the automotive engine and the two major core components is prohibitively high!"
"Our factory can currently only produce the frame of a car!"
"Core components like the engine and gearbox rely on imports!"
"Although the island nation's people agreed to supply us with these parts, they leverage their technological advantage to sell us high-priced products!"
At this moment, Liu Fang couldn't help but interject again, "This problem is simple!"
"If the island nation is blocking us, we can just buy directly from Germany!"
"The automotive industry isn't limited to just the island nation!"
Liu Kai Xuan said grimly, "You're thinking too simply!"
"The engine model of a car needs to be matched with its chassis!"
How can a custom-model engine be easily replaced?
"Besides, imported parts also have to pay tariffs when they enter the country!"
"Even if the manufacturer is willing to lower the price somewhat, our final cost will still be difficult to bring down!"
"Unless we form a joint venture with foreign companies, utilizing their technology to build the production line directly within the country!"
"Never mind, there's no need for that at all!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "When I get back, we will immediately form a technical breakthrough team!"
"We'll gather a group of high-end technical talents and must solve the engine technology problem within a short period."
"Ah?"
Liu Yu Qian's mouth gaped in surprise, "Kai Xuan, are you serious?"
"Engine technology isn't that easy to conquer!"
"In fact, our car factory has been accumulating related technology since it was first built!"
"Unfortunately, we haven't made any breakthrough progress yet!"
"It's not very realistic for you to conquer this difficult problem in a short period!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "In fact, the most difficult step in the path of technological development is the transition from zero to one!"
"As long as we can cross this threshold, subsequent development will increase exponentially!"
"In the short term, let's adopt a replication model, thoroughly understand the internal working principles, and first manufacture a prototype!"
"Then, using the prototype as a template, we can optimize and improve it step by step!"
"As you said, for our enterprise to truly develop, we must have market competitiveness!"
"Imported cars from abroad are of good quality and have a great reputation, but their prices are high!"
"As long as we can master the core technologies of various components, we can drastically reduce production costs!"
"At that time, with a price advantage, our products will be able to form market competitiveness!"
Liu Yu Qian replied with a wry smile, "The key is... if we start R&D from scratch now, the finished product might come out years later, right?"
"Although this step of development is necessary, the future development of the car factory is still very difficult!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Kai Xuan smiled faintly, "Liu Yu Qian, aren't your views a little too pessimistic?"
