The quota for exempt-from-inspection products?
Hearing Elder Zhou's words, everyone present was stunned.
Exempt-from-inspection products, as the name suggests, are products that can be directly launched on the market within their validity period, exempt from various inspection processes.
This is a supreme honor for an enterprise brand, and also a standard golden signboard.
However, for Wang Yu, the more important thing was precious time!
Everyone knew that the automobile industry had a very long cycle.
From product design to research and development to debugging and production, various processes require the declaration of various materials and audits, especially for special product types, such as the several special models Wang Yu had in his warehouse.
It wasn't that he didn't want to launch the new fire truck, but that the relevant inspection procedures had not been approved.
If he could get the quota for exempt-from-inspection products, he could save a lot of time!
Of course, this was not easy to obtain.
The qualification for exempt-from-inspection products represented the trust and support of the state. The factory's various quality control processes and relevant strength resources must meet the standards and undergo a series of rigorous assessments and certifications.
And the most crucial point is that this qualification cannot be applied for by just anyone. One must have a sufficiently influential person to recommend them.
Otherwise, if anyone could apply for exempt-from-inspection products, wouldn't the inspectors in the government departments be overwhelmed with daily inspections?
And now, Elder Zhou, a renowned expert professor in the province, undoubtedly had the recommendation qualification, otherwise, he wouldn't have been an expert on the review team to the Bus General Factory.
Well, although...
Wang Yu, having lived two lives, still couldn't figure out the relationship within state-owned factories and government departments, nor Elder Zhou's rank and position within the government system.
Well, thinking back to his previous life, when so many brilliant and intelligent economists in the world had spent their entire lives trying to understand those rules without success, Wang Yu gave up on delving into the cause and effect. He didn't want to cause himself trouble... cough cough!
"Elder Zhou, what do I need to do to get this exempt-from-inspection product quota you mentioned?"
Wang Yu, now very interested, asked Elder Zhou.
"Like this, the province currently has a few quota qualifications, and I think I can apply for you. The higher authorities will definitely send people to inspect your factory, and then..."
As Elder Zhou and Wang Yu walked and talked, and other experts also joined in, the conversation quickly moved from the application process for exempt-from-inspection product qualifications to various professional technical issues.
The experts present had different areas of expertise. Some were skilled in mechanics, some understood casting, some were experts in electrical equipment, and some had made significant contributions in the field of large industrial and mining enterprises...
However, Wang Yu accepted all of them. He could keep up with the professional knowledge in various fields. Even in areas where he was not proficient, he could understand one or two things and generalize. In the process of discussing and exchanging with these experts, he gained quite a bit by cross-referencing.
This made Wang Yu feel that the trip was worthwhile. His technical accumulation surpassed these experts, but in terms of practical operation, their decades of experience had a lot that he could learn from!
The old experts were also very pleased to find a young man who could follow their conversation. With a slight competitive spirit between them, they each presented their specialized fields and began to discuss.
Wang Yu and these experts had a good time, but it was a苦 for the people at the Bus General Factory.
Listening to the various professional terms that constantly came out of their mouths, Qian Guotao and Qiu Jie and others felt like they were listening to celestial scriptures, blinking their eyes and staring at each other.
They understood every word Wang Yu and the others said, but when put together, they had no idea what they were talking about.
Speaking of which, wasn't the focus and theme the super bus project of the Bus General Factory? Why did the topic suddenly shift to an academic discussion?
Qian Guotao and Qiu Jie exchanged glances, seeing the determination to overthrow their opponents in each other's eyes.
Undoubtedly, their conflict was irreconcilable!
Of course, Qian Guotao was currently in the lead. Elder Zhou's trust in Wang Yu directly thwarted his plan to use the experts' review to delay things.
Qian Guotao's face was full of satisfaction, as it was finally a chance to see these annoying guys suffer a setback!
Qiu Jie's eyes were sinister, clearly not giving up hope, likely scheming some devious plans and bad ideas.
...
Because of Wang Yu, Qiu Jie's plan failed. After the expert group formed by Elder Zhou and others made a brief appearance, they quickly left to report the review results.
Naturally, it was unanimously approved, and the super bus project of the Passenger Transport General Factory was officially implemented.
Then, in the following days, all work proceeded in an orderly manner. Although Qiu Jie kept trying to create obstacles, such as shortages of certain parts or insufficient supply of certain components, he tried his best to sabotage the production of the super bus.
This move... was very insidious, like Zhou Yu asking Zhuge Liang to make arrows without providing materials.
This made Qian Guotao grit his teeth in hatred, almost wanting to stab a straw effigy with Qiu Jie's name on it and curse him every night.
But he simply had no way. After all, he was not Zhuge Liang, who could borrow arrows from Cao Cao with straw boats.
However, there was no Cao Cao, but there was Wang Yu!
Besides being the factory director of the automobile factory, Wang Yu was also a major shareholder of one-third of the parts suppliers in Jiangyang County, the industrial manufacturing hub of the entire province. He also had a large group of hungry factories in the Ice Bear Kingdom at his disposal.
Let alone the parts required for buses, even aircraft carriers or space shuttles would not be a problem!
Believe it or not, if the money was right, their super-sized combat transport planes could air-drop all the necessary parts tomorrow!
Therefore, although Qiu Jie's small tricks caused some delays, after half a month, mass production was finally achieved.
Well, Wang Yu also made a small profit as a parts supplier.
The first batch of 20 super buses, with novel designs and generous styles, finally rolled off the production line under the expectant gazes of everyone. The product was named "Shuguang No. 1"!
It symbolized a ray of hope for the old and gloomy Bus General Factory!
And there was only one week left until the opening of the East Continent Industrial Expo.
Coincidentally, the mass production of "Shuguang No. 1" at the bus factory meant that they could directly participate in the competition!
Wang Yu immediately took a car back to Jiangyang County. He needed to return to his own factory to prepare the products for the exhibition!
However, as soon as Wang Yu returned to the factory, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Outside the new factory area of the automobile factory, a group of people were kneeling, all looking dishevelled and in distress.
Upon seeing Wang Yu's appearance, they immediately acted as if they had seen a savior and quickly surrounded him.
"Director Wang, you must save us!"
The group of people spoke to Wang Yu one after another.
