In order to stimulate China's economic development, the central government has decided to issue treasury bonds to build infrastructure facilities related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The State Development Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the People's Bank of China, and the Ministry of Information Industry have jointly decided to organize manpower and material resources to jointly tackle key problems in automatic transmission projects that have a bearing on the future development of China's automobile industry, and to allocate a budget of 1 billion yuan from treasury bond funds for this purpose.

At present, the world's mainstream transmissions have evolved into manual 5MT, automatic 4AT and CVT, especially automatic transmissions will be the next explosion point in the market. For example, GM's domestically produced 4AT transmissions in China cost more than 100,000 yuan each.

At present, there is no independent enterprise in China that can master automatic transmission technology, and 4AT and CVT technology are in the hands of foreign auto giants. The cost of an automatic transmission is as high as 100,000, and if Chinese automobile companies rely on imports in the future, China will need to spend at least billions of foreign exchange to purchase automatic transmissions every year, which is a very large amount.

It can be said that people of insight in China's automobile industry still see this hidden danger, and in order to avoid the lesson of the large number of imported cars in the 80s, which caused the consumption of foreign exchange to build several world-class automobile factories, they plan to use the strength of the whole country to overcome this high-tech problem.

Previously, he had learned from Rong Qiming, deputy director of the Department of Automobile Industry, that the country would launch this major project, and Han Hao was of course very interested.

To this end, Huaxia Automobile has also joined the ranks of the application for the national bond project, intending to work with domestic counterparts to overcome this problem that plagues the development of China's automobile industry.

Now the first round of screening is underway, because there are a lot of enterprises reported in the country, after all, 1 billion yuan of national debt funds belonged to a considerable research fund in 1999.

Huaxia Automobile also submitted an application report in accordance with the materials stipulated by the state, and Han Hao's calculation is that as long as he participates in it, he will really develop an automatic transmission in the future, so Huaxia Automobile Industry can share the intellectual property achievements. In case of failure, it will also accumulate corresponding lessons and lessons, and the national research can learn from each other with domestic counterparts, and the Huaxia Automobile Research Institute has carried out the preliminary preparatory work for the project.

It can be said that in Han Hao's view, the research funds given by the state are secondary, and the important thing is to exchange and learn with domestic transmission industry experts, which are opportunities that money cannot buy.

Unexpectedly, when the results of the first round were announced, Huaxia Automobile fell to Sun Shan and did not enter the second round of elimination.

This result was really unexpected by Han Hao, Huaxia Automobile compared it item by item in accordance with the requirements of the application materials, and submitted the application only when it fully met the conditions, but it was brushed down in the first round.

Looking at the list that entered the second round, FAW Gear Factory, SAIC Gear Factory, Dongfeng Transmission Company, Jinqi Gear Co., Ltd., Yuzhou Qingshan Industrial Company, Dongan Transmission Factory, Tangshan Gear Company, and Anhuai Gear General Factory, a total of 8 are all large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises.

"Your technical conditions are not suitable, and you have never had your own transmission products, so your company is not considered for the treasury bond project. ”

It was only at this time that Han Hao knew that there was a gear association in China, and it was up to him to organize expert deliberations for this review. The enterprises that have entered the second round are all important members of the China Gear Association.

"We don't ask for national debt allocation, we just hope to be able to participate in the research of automatic transmissions and work together to overcome this technical problem for the country. ”

The representatives sent by Huaxia Automobile were unwilling to accept this result and tried to appeal and squeeze into the project.

"I'm sorry, but these are state secrets, and we must guarantee information security. ”

The judges righteously rejected Huaxia Automobile's request to join.

In his opinion, Huaxia Automobile does not have its own technology, it just wants to rub the technology, of course, it cannot be allowed to come in and disturb the cooperation of major state-owned gear enterprises.

"Haven't you Huaxia Automobile been shouting that you have mastered the core technology, why did you take the initiative to apply to participate in the joint research and development project this time, will what you said before be bragging?"

Hearing the words of the representative of Huaxia Automobile, the representative from Tangshan Gear gloated.

Tangshan Gear has just been a joint venture with Toyota's Aisin Corporation, and is now a celebrity in the domestic transmission industry. Aisin has already started production of 5-speed transmission transmissions in Tangshan, and it is expected that it will introduce 6-speed MT and 4-speed automatic transmissions in the future. In the automatic transmission industry, Aisin's AT technology is unique and accounts for the majority of the market.

"Don't look at today's fun, be careful to pull the list in the future, the puppet army is not so easy to do!"

In the face of the ridicule of others, the representative of Huaxia Automobile directly scolded back. I thought that if I took refuge in Aisin, my tail would rise to the sky, and I didn't know how many pounds and taels I had.

Although Han Hao personally supervised the battle in Tianjing, Huaxia Automobile, the national bond automatic transmission project, was ruthlessly blocked out of the door.

In the end, all eight state-owned transmission companies that entered this round were qualified to participate, and they will form a joint R&D team to jointly overcome the problem of automatic transmission. The State will allocate funds for the import of sample transmissions and seek foreign technology transfer, and provide various manpower, material resources and materials for the use of this joint group to overcome the problem of automatic transmissions within a period of five years.

If the automatic transmission is successfully developed in the future, then Huaxia Automobile can only watch them share the results, and can only purchase from them if it needs to. For Han Hao, who knows the importance of mastering the core technology of automobiles, being controlled by others is the result that he can't bear. In the future, if a certain car of Huaxia Automobile sells well, but the automatic transmission is stuck in the neck and cannot be supplied, it will be greatly detrimental to the long-term development of the enterprise.

"They don't take us to play, we will do it ourselves, and we can't eat hairy pigs without Zhang Butcher!"

Han Hao was also very upset by the state-owned transmission factories uniting this time, and he was determined to rely on Huaxia Automobile's own strength. Automatic transmission is a strategic investment, Huaxia Automobile can not do it in three years in five years, five years if it does not work in five years, it will definitely gnaw such a hard bone.

In terms of auto industry policy, the Chinese government requires automakers to hold foreign and foreign shares, but in the field of auto parts, the door is almost wide open. The only engine company in the core components of the Chinese side of the request to take shares, there are not too many requirements for the transmission, chassis, electronic control system, etc.

In the field of auto parts, a crack in the door was loosened, and as a result, foreign-funded parts companies came in in a big way, and many of them followed foreign joint ventures. For example, in the Guangqi Honda project, Honda has introduced its suppliers in Japan to China on a large scale to form its own supplier system.

This has led to the continuous demise of China's independent auto parts enterprises in the fierce market competition and suffered a big loss in the field of auto parts. Compared with the Japanese suppliers, SAIC Volkswagen is selfless and has supported the development of a large number of independent parts enterprises in China, leaving a spark for our country.

For example, transmission companies, the Chinese side allows foreign parties to be wholly owned, and in order to control the core technology, foreign parties like to seek sole proprietorship production. As a result, automatic transmission technology has been monopolized and blocked by foreign parties.

If Volkswagen enters China and brings its global parts companies into China, then the development of China's automotive industry will definitely take a big step backwards. If Volkswagen also learns from Japanese manufacturers to engage in a closed system, our national auto parts enterprises will be really in danger.

Why Huaxia Automobile is developing rapidly, it takes advantage of Volkswagen's independent spare parts suppliers developed in China, if it were not for these automobile industry bases, Han Hao would not be able to purchase decent parts and components. Although they mainly supply products to Volkswagen, they have a certain degree of autonomy and are not subsidiaries of Volkswagen, so they can still accept orders. Of course, in addition to the Volkswagen system suppliers, Huaxia Automobile also made use of the suppliers supported by Xiali, as well as the third force, that is, the independent development suppliers that have been entrenched in Zhehai from the motorcycle field.

Therefore, although Volkswagen earns a lot of profits from the Chinese market every year, its contribution to the development of China's auto industry is not small.

Returning to Huaxia Industrial Group, in the motorcycle market, Han Hao decided to start the N1 project and enter the agricultural tricycle market. In the past year, the market for agricultural tricycles has suddenly exploded, with sales exceeding 2.46 million units.

This is a market with huge potential, and Han Hao certainly doesn't want to let go of the market segment of more than 2 million units. As long as the current engine is upgraded, it is possible to build a three-wheeled motorcycle suitable for rural China. He has approved the project, and Huaxia Motorcycle will be able to launch a highly competitive fist product in half a year.

In addition, Huaxia Motorcycle will develop to the high-end, launching products such as Prince Motorcycles and Motorcycle Racing to enrich its product line. Han Hao is even considering manufacturing police motorcycles with designs that meet China's national conditions to replace current imported products.

In the automotive sector, it is also necessary to plan ahead.

In addition to the two models of Huaxia Light and QQ that have been released, the remaining important thing is the C1 Zhonghua sedan project.

In addition, Huaxia Automobile has launched the B1 project, which is a light passenger van, and the competitor targeted in the future is Jinbei van, which belongs to the micro-oriented extension of the Huaxia brand.

Finally, there is also an S1 model, which is currently in a state of absolute secrecy, and is an important product for Huaxia Automobile to make another effort after two years.

At the end of January, there was another blockbuster merger and acquisition news in the world auto industry, and on the 28th, Ford Motor Company acquired the global car business of Sweden's Volvo Car Company for $6.45 billion. Since then, the world's safest and most environmentally friendly car company has joined the Ford family, showing that the M&A activity of the international auto giant is still active.

On the same day, Han Hao received a call he had been waiting for.
