Rethink cars with us.

I want to talk to you about medical supplies today.

This really has a lot to do with the automobile circle.

There are indeed many unexpected things in 2020. For example, none of us can think of masks that we hardly use at ordinary times, and now we can hardly buy them.

My friend traveled abroad years ago, and as a result, an epidemic broke out in China. He wanted to bring us back some masks, but he walked around the drugstore and got the answer: Everyone in China bought them.

The problem he encountered was the same as when many companies donated materials to the epidemic area. The biggest difficulty is not raising funds at all, but finding goods. ...

So at this time, it is not a question of who has money, but who has a better way to get the materials that everyone urgently needs.

1, Wuling wants to build a mask! backbone element

_

In the donation details of a pile of car companies, many people have seen donations of hundreds of millions, but these two days have also exposed such news:

Wuling is cooperating with suppliers to change the production line to produce masks. The estimated production capacity is 1.7 million/day. -The automobile industry has developed for so many years, and it is the first time that the main engine factory engages in mask production.

Actually, the story is very simple. We contacted Wuling's people for the first time, and the other party told me that their first thought was to buy from buy buy. So we can actually see the news of June 5438+1October 3 1 online. Wuling urgently purchased and shipped 20,000 medical protective masks from Indonesia and India to support the front line of prevention and control.

However, with the continuous development of the epidemic, many countries, including Indonesia, have listed masks as strategic reserve materials, which can no longer be purchased from abroad and shipped back to China.

For many car companies, they donate money if they can't buy masks. As for the inability to provide masks for employees, they will postpone the start of work in the future. Wuling's situation is slightly different:

(Photographed on 20 16 when President visited Baojun and Wuling for the first time)

This company is located in Liuzhou, Guangxi, Liuzhou and even Guangxi. It has three pillar industries: snail powder, Guilin landscape and Wuling Shenche.

Guangxi has not been an economically developed province since ancient times, and its GDP ranking is basically in the lower position. Among the pillar industries, snail powder is basically retail, and Guilin landscape can't go now. Only Wuling can take the lead in the automobile industry.

In this case, if Wuling, as a pillar industry, can't start work in time, the impact on GAC's economy may be beyond imagination.

What you need most when you start working is a mask. After all, there are thousands of people in a main engine factory, and the number of masks that need to be consumed every day is not small.

"There is no shortage of money now, but there is a lack of materials, so I want to know if there is anything I can do in the supply chain. Company leaders will contact and find out, and then do it. " A Wuling source who witnessed the incident told me, "This supplier makes automobile sound insulation cotton."

So the two parties hit it off, and the original 2,000-square-meter clean workshop of the supplier Guangxi Defute Group was transformed into 12 mask production lines, with a daily output of 1.7 million at the end of the month.

This matter naturally won the full support of Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province and even the country: China Development Bank provided 50 million loans, and the qualification verification, approval and certification were the same as Tesla's factory in Shanghai.

Thanks to this "China speed", these mask production lines are expected to be completed and put into use within this month (February 2020).

2. Can a car manufacturer make a mask?

_

As soon as this incident came out, many netizens began to shout 6, and some netizens who had no feelings for Wuling and Baojun themselves could not help but sigh, "It really is doing great things silently."

After all, once this matter is done, on the one hand, the employees in our factory can be guaranteed, on the other hand, they also said that they will not sell it to the outside world for the time being and hand it over to the government for unified deployment, giving priority to supporting the medical front line. Some netizens also ridiculed: I am satisfied, and I will never allow the hot search of "grabbing Chongqing masks" to appear.

From beginning to end, Wuling and its suppliers are likely to lose money rather than make money.

Take the SARS period as an example. A listed company was ordered by the Shanghai municipal government to produce functional masks, but it didn't make any money at all. At that time, in order to meet the mask capacity, the company even stopped the underwear production line. Since then, it has been losing money, and finally it has been able to get out by state financial subsidies.

(Later, this company quit, but recently, its share price has soared inexplicably, because many people thought it was still making masks. In fact, people have stopped production for many years ... and making masks is also a proper loss, and they have even been bought by the daily limit ...)

It's worth talking to you about. On the one hand, there is such a real car company, on the other hand, a "new continent" has been discovered.

-Since Wuling's soundproof cotton suppliers can switch to masks, what about suppliers from other car companies?

And one thing you may not know is that the main engine factory itself actually has a dust-free workshop that meets the production conditions of masks.

Because the painting workshop has high dust-free standards in the four major processes of automobile production, such as stamping, welding, painting and final assembly, there is no problem in theory in making masks.

As for the general mask technology, it is not difficult for car companies with more difficult production in theory.

BYD should not only make masks, but also make disinfectant.

So things are the same as I thought. In addition to Wuling, a second car company will soon jump out.

Not only to build masks, but also to contract disinfection water:

On February 7th, financial media revealed that a subsidiary of BYD in Shantou quietly changed its business scope: adding disinfectant.

While we were still guessing what BYD was going to do, on the morning of February 8, the following picture began to spread among our fans:

Obviously, the business scope was changed the day before, and the next day, the official announced that masks and disinfectant would be made. I immediately contacted BYD's source, and the other party told me "the news is true" first. By the end of the month, the daily output will probably reach 5 million masks and 50,000 bottles of disinfectant.

When I mentioned that "Wuling is letting its own suppliers do it, what about BYD?"

The source gave me this sentence directly:

When I asked if it would affect the production of the whole vehicle, the other party told me that the impact would not be great, and gave us several exclusive news:

"(The mask) was handed over to the ninth division, and the medical equipment has always been the responsibility of the ninth division."

"Production qualification is definitely needed and will be accelerated. There is a gap in the whole country. Only local enterprises have smashed themselves, and diaper enterprises in other provinces have gone up. "

"At present, only the public supports the public. At present, the minimum order quantity is about 1 ten thousand. It is estimated that it is also subject to the deployment of the municipal government and first meets the first-line medical care. "

4. What other car companies have switched to production?

_

Before the press release (2 1. 2. 9), we just got the news that Shaanxi Automobile also took the initiative to build goggles not long ago. Although the company as a whole has not resumed work, it only took two days to get ready. It is estimated that the daily assembly capacity will reach 3000 pieces/day.

Guangzhou Automobile recently sent a group of employees to a mask manufacturing equipment manufacturer for 15 days of study.

The president believes that more and more car companies will take action next.

Besides letting us see some domestic independent brands? In addition to actually doing things for the country, it also shows us the new strength to fight the epidemic.

-For those car companies that have stopped production, in theory, they only need to transform the painting workshop, cooperate with relevant departments to obtain qualifications, purchase equipment, and quickly establish a mask production capacity of more than one million, which is undoubtedly a reserve force to fight the epidemic.

In case the epidemic really gets worse.

I think they will do it.

Step 5 write it at the end

_

The engine used by the British centurion tank is Rolls-Royce Griffin;

The Ferdinand tank destroyer in Nazi Germany was produced by Porsche;

Both Ford and GM Hillman tanks are involved in the production;

There are many similar things. At home, car companies always respond positively to the call.

Wuling in history, in the 1960s, the country urgently needed to develop agriculture and revitalize industry, and Wuling immediately built tractors.

BYD was born in a slightly different era. In this era, China is changing from "Made in China" to "Created in China". BYD joined the new energy industry and began to master core technologies such as battery, motor, electronic control and IGBT.

How important is the automobile industry in China? What is important is that the total operating income accounts for nearly 10% of the gross domestic product, and the number of employed people accounts for one sixth of the total number of employed people in society.

This time, Wuling, BYD and Shaanxi Automobile took the lead in raising the banner of making masks, disinfectant and goggles, which are currently lacking in China. This is telling us that car companies can afford GDP and find jobs, and they are also our backup forces at critical moments.

Undoubtedly, this is a meaningful wake-up call in the face of an unknown crisis in the future. Although we can't even supply masks now, fortunately, there are such car companies telling us: It doesn't matter, there are us.

_

There is some good news.

_

Finally, tell you some good news before the deadline:

Shaanxi Automobile Co., Ltd. made preparations for goggles in two days, and this afternoon we have samples that meet the requirements of medical protection.

The first batch of 200,000 masks manufactured by Wuling joint suppliers have been rolled off the assembly line. These masks are for civilian use first. The dust-free workshop for making medical masks is also being urgently rebuilt;

Although BYD has no samples yet, it is expected to start trial production in two days and mass production in seven days. The production capacity of masks reaches 5 million tablets/day, and the disinfection water reaches 50,000 bottles/day.

Look, everyone is facing it positively.

The epidemic will pass.

Wuhan will get better.

China will also be restored to her original appearance.

Run! Let's go Item! Sue!

We have been trying to be a conscientious, objective and fair new energy automobile media, and we are also trying to write useful news and comments. If you think our things are interesting, remember to pay attention to us ~

Some time ago, according to the sales volume and heat list,
