  Chapter 479 Prospect Analysis of ATVs

   "Director Mu, before analyzing the prospect of the 'beach buggy' project, let me give you a brief introduction to what a 'beach buggy' is!"

  When Zhao Guoyang said this, Ding Yanhong and Mu Yiyi just came out of the kitchen holding two dishes.

  When Mu Yiyi heard Zhao Guoyang's words, her eyes lit up.

  She trotted over to put the dishes away, then quickly sat beside Zhao Guoyang, resting her chin on her hands, and listened intently to what he said next.

  Zhao Guoyang glanced at her curiously, but didn't say much, just talked about his knowledge about this "beach buggy".

   "ATV is the abbreviation of All Terrain Vehicle in English—All Terrain Vehicle, which is a means of transportation suitable for all terrains. Therefore, it is also known as an all-terrain four-wheel off-road vehicle."

   Seeing Mu Aijun, Mu Yiyi, father and daughter listening attentively, Ding Yanhong opened her mouth, but did not disturb her for the time being.

Zhao Guoyang’s speech was still going on, and he said word by word: “In the Europa League and the North American Economic Cooperation Zone, ATV, UTV, BAJA, Go-kart, and off-road two-wheeled motorcycles are collectively called ORV. , that is, off-road vehicles.”

  “Actually, whether it is ATV or ORV, it is difficult for us to use a simple Chinese name to summarize the comprehensive performance of this car.”

   "According to its appearance, we in China reluctantly translated it as 'all-terrain four-wheel off-road motorcycle' before, but everyone thought it was a mouthful."

   "Later, after everyone gradually understood, it was discovered that this kind of all-terrain vehicle has large tires, and the contact area with the ground can generate greater friction when driving."

   "Combined with the unique tread pattern, the tire is not easy to idling and skids, and it is easy to drive on sandy ground. Therefore, it is mistakenly called a 'beach car' in China, and gradually formed a practice..."

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Mu Yiyi nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Guoyang is right, when I was visiting Birmingham, England, there were young people driving this kind of 'beach buggy'. Yes , they just call it 'ATV' and 'UVT'!"

"According to some of my foreign friends, ATVs with good quality and excellent performance can not only drive on the beach, but also on river beds, forest roads, streams and even worse deserts. The function is brought into full play. It can be called an all-round mobile tool."

   Mu Yiyi clenched her fist in high spirits and said, "Everyone says it is an excellent means of transportation and one of the great inventions of mankind."

   "It is only limited by the local environment of England, otherwise it will definitely be one of the best transportation companions for people!"

   "Guoyang, am I right?" After Mu Yiyi finished speaking, she didn't forget to ask Zhao Guoyang next to her.

  Zhao Guoyang smiled and gestured "OK" to her.

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang and his daughter's explanation, the expression on Mu Aijun's face was obviously relieved a lot.

  Originally, after he received a call from the old leader in the morning, he felt uncertain for a while.

  If you want to agree to participate in the competition, you are afraid that you are not sure; if you let go of this opportunity, you are afraid that you will regret it later. It is really a dilemma.

  Now anyway, at least I have a general understanding of this kind of vehicle, and then I will listen to Zhao Guoyang's analysis of its prospects.

  Thinking about this, Mu Aijun couldn't help asking Zhao Guoyang: "Guoyang, after listening to your explanation, I understand what a 'beach car' is."

   "However, according to Director Du, it is the first time that ATVs are involved in China. Whether it can open up the domestic market and how difficult it is to produce and design are all problems!"

   Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang could not help but smile slightly.

  He said calmly: "Director Mu, first of all, you can rest assured that as long as the all-terrain vehicle project can be launched, sales will definitely not worry. Whether it is domestic or foreign, it is widely used."

  Zhao Guoyang turned his head to look at Mu Yiyi, smiled and said: "Just now Yiyi has already explained the performance of the all-terrain vehicle, I will add something."

   "This model has strong climbing ability and the ability to adapt to various terrains, and can freely drive in complex terrain areas such as beaches, jungles, mountains, snow, rivers, swamps, deserts, and grasslands."

   "Director Mu, just imagine, if our factory really produced all-terrain vehicles and put them on our northern prairie, galloping with cattle and sheep against the sunset, what a magnificent scene it would be!"

  Listening to Zhao Guoyang's introduction, even Ding Yanhong, who was beside Mu Aijun, looked forward to such a scene.

  This Auntie Ding sighed and said: "Guoyang said it really well, just imagine it, it's so beautiful!"

Zhao Guoyang smiled at Aunt Ding to express his gratitude, and then said: "In addition to being used for sports competitions and leisure entertainment, all-terrain vehicles are used in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, petroleum, electric power, construction sites, mines, rescue, exploration, hunting, firefighting, etc. It can play a very important role in many fields such as the military.”

   "Because this kind of all-terrain vehicle is very versatile, we don't have to worry about the problems in this market."

   "Besides, even if the domestic market is difficult to open for a while, I can ask my friends in Samba for help in overseas sales."

   "Mr. Mu, you should know that the country of Samba has a large land area, and there are many places where this kind of all-terrain vehicle is needed..."

  Zhao Guoyang took a short breath and continued: "The only thing I still have doubts about is the funding for early research and development and scientific research."

   Speaking of this, Zhao Guoyang glanced at Mu Aijun worriedly and said: "Director Mu, the all-terrain vehicle project is different from motorcycles. It is difficult to win the world with one model..."

   "That is to say, we must design at least two to three all-terrain vehicles at the same time for customers to choose from. Otherwise, our competitiveness in the market will be greatly reduced."

   "But in this way, the investment in design funds will be much larger. Although our factory seems to be thriving at present, the funds are actually not abundant..."

  Hearing this, Mu Aijun already fully understood what Zhao Guoyang meant.

  He knew that Zhao Guoyang was very positive about whether this project should be launched.

   It’s just that this young man is a little worried that his factory does not have enough financial strength to support the motorcycle project that has just started and the all-terrain vehicle project at the same time.

   Silently picked up the wine glass, Mu Aijun frowned deeply.

Seeing his wife's indecision, Ding Yanhong couldn't help saying: "Oh, Lao Mu, this kid Guoyang has already analyzed this for you, even I understand it, what else can you do?" Suspicious?"

  "Since this project has broad prospects and is not worried about sales, then if you don't get started, you will give others opportunities for nothing. At that time, you will have no place to regret it!"

  Ding Yanhong is a woman with a low level of education, but she still understands the basic principles.

  Although her words were straightforward, they still gave Mu Aijun a shot in the arm, making him no longer worried.

  Mu Aijun finally made up his mind. He put down his glass heavily, slapped the table hard and said, "Okay, then our factory will actively fight for this opportunity!"

  Zhao Guoyang seemed to have anticipated Director Mu's decision, but he just raised the corners of his mouth, but he didn't seem too excited.

   Seeing this, Mu Yiyi couldn't help but clapped her hands and cheered, "Great, Dad. When your factory actually manufactures this kind of ATV, I'll recommend it to my English friends!"

   Mu Aijun gave her daughter a loving look, and nodded comfortably.

  Then he turned to Zhao Guoyang and said word by word: "Guoyang, I won't say too much if I need to. Given your understanding of 'beach buggy', you must be the leader of this project."

  Zhao Guoyang nodded reservedly, not being pretentious.

"As for the funding, I have thought about it. I can still sell some old faces in Guangling City and Ninghai City. If I can really enter the list of the last three companies, I will pull down this old face and plead with the finance department. Make more money on…”

  Zhao Guoyang nodded his head when he heard the words, and said in agreement: "Well, our first task now is to pass the selection of the Mechanical Industry Division of the Inherent Assets Administration."

   "Yes, Dad. Didn't you just say that there are 18 companies competing with your Hongda Machinery Factory. Are you so confident that you can compare with others?"

   Mu Yiyi teased Mu Aijun on purpose, naturally to relieve dad's stress.

  When Mu Aijun heard the words, he was not angry at all.

  He glanced at his daughter, pointed the chopsticks in his hand cheerfully to Zhao Guoyang and said: "If there is no Guoyang, I really don't have the confidence to compete with so many department-level state-owned enterprises for these three places."

   "But now that I have him, I don't have to worry about that at all..."

  Listening to Director Mu's spare no effort to praise him, Zhao Guoyang felt helpless in his heart: this Director Mu has put all his treasures on himself, and he really thinks highly of himself...

   Seeing that the business was almost done, Ding Yanhong said "Oh!" "Don't talk too much, this dish is going to be cold. Hurry up, Guoyang, come and try the braised octopus cooked by Auntie!"

   "Ah, and this, green pepper sausage."

   While talking, Ding Yanhong warmly put vegetables in Zhao Guoyang's bowl, which made him a little helpless, so he could only keep saying: "Thank you, Auntie Ding, I can do it myself!"

   "Hehe, why are you so polite, kid and Aunt Ding. Come on, try this again, pork elbow!"

  Mu Aijun and Mu Yiyi saw Ding Yanhong being courteous to Zhao Guoyang, and they looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

  The major event has been decided, when Mu Aijun clinked glasses with Zhao Guoyang again, his mood was completely different.

  He let out a sip, and after drinking a cup, he slowly opened his voice: "Guoyang, although we have settled the matter, we still have to go through it at tomorrow's meeting."

   "According to the timetable Director Du gave me in the morning, I must give him a definite answer before noon tomorrow. You may be more troubled by the next few things..."
