Chapter 167: The Chief Arrives in Person

Although it was only a momentary expression, Kim Yangyong will never forget this picture, and when the vice premier saw the M1 Jeongdo sedan engine with the eye-catching Mitsubishi logo printed on it, he made a subconscious displeasure reaction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the premise that the M1 Zhengdao sedan has 100% independent property rights, the use of Mitsubishi engines is the biggest stain on this achievement. The 2.0-liter engine, which had just rolled off the assembly line from the Shenhang Mitsubishi Engine Joint Venture, was assembled in the CKD mode and immediately installed on the body of the Zhengdao sedan.

Brilliance Auto does not have its own engine, and now this Mitsubishi 4G series 2.0L engine is the best trump card in the hands of Kim Yangyong, for the Jeongdo car he thinks he has done his best work, but now it still gives a very bad impression to the vice premier in charge of industry.

"Mitsubishi's engine is a joint venture project of Shenhang Group, and in order to solve their financial and sales problems, we took the initiative to look for cooperation with each other. Now, we kill two birds with one stone, which not only solves the sales channel for them, but also has a first-class engine in China. ”

In order to make up for the adverse effects just now, Jin Yangyong found a suitable set of explanations in a blink of mind, indicating that his use of Mitsubishi engines has a factor of worrying about the country, after all, the Shenhang Group is a difficult household to convert from military to civilian, otherwise the state would not have given them a license for a joint venture engine. You must know that in the field of auto parts, the only part that needs government approval and joint venture ratio standards is the engine project.

"In the future, if there is a chance, we will definitely use our own engine, and the Chinese car will be equipped with a Chinese heart, and we will not disappoint the chiefs!"

The disappointment of the vice premier just now stung Kim Yangyong's dignity, so he made up his mind to find his own engine for the Brilliance department, and he must put his own brand logo in the future.

"The engine is the heart of the car, we must master our own core technology, and look forward to the day when everyone can see the engine that belongs to Brilliance be built. ”

He has a deep understanding of the automotive industry, and the deputy prime minister sincerely advised.

Overall, the release of Zhengdao sedan was still a full house, and the sedan project built by Brilliance Auto officially entered the public eye.

"Chief, we at Brilliance Auto are ready to apply for the 7-digit sedan catalog, I don't know what suggestions you have?"

God-given opportunity, if Jin Yangyong does not seize the opportunity at this time, he will not be a predator who comes to the capital market as soon as there is a stir.

"Today I only came to visit, and I didn't say anything. I don't count the car directory issue, it must go through the legal procedures for approval. ”

When it comes to such a major decision, the vice premier is very tight-lipped and refuses to disclose too many details. Because there are too many stakeholders involved in the matter of car license plates, it is really not a project that he can make decisions alone.

"Okay, we Brilliance will prepare all the materials as soon as possible and send them to the relevant state departments, and Zhengdao Car is always ready to serve the people of the whole country!"

Kim Yangyong will not expect the vice premier to make a statement in person, and the most important thing is to let the chief know that there is such a thing, which will be of great benefit in the future when approving it.

After visiting the Brilliance Auto booth, the vice premier was in good spirits, and he had no intention of leaving for the time being, so he took the initiative to ask to walk around the auto show site again.

Looking at the figure of the deputy prime minister leaving, Kim Yangyong felt that he had reached his goal today, and the appearance of the Jeongdo car still moved the chief.

The deputy prime minister took a big turn along the aisle and walked a few steps before he saw a large crowd crowding a certain booth, which was in stark contrast to the deserted other car booths in the domestic pavilion. Such a scene made him suddenly interested, and he wanted to step forward to see what attracted so many people to watch.

As soon as I got closer, I saw the eye-catching "Huaxia Industry" signboard standing in front of me, which turned out to be a newly popped up private upstart, and the vice premier led a group of people forward with great interest.

Seeing the head of the big leader walk in, the crowd automatically flashed out a passage under the arrangement of the guards for the vice prime minister to walk into the museum to visit.

At this time, Han Hao was accompanying BMW President Milberg to visit, Huaxia Industry exhibited so many concept cars and advanced products, which surprised Milberg, this Chinese private enterprise is indeed as full of vitality as he imagined.

The deputy prime minister arrived suddenly, and Millberg had met and talked with him, so he reacted at once and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Milberg knew that in China, the government had unparalleled control, and that the BMW Group had to deal with the Chinese government in order to enter China.

It was the first time Han Hao had met the vice premier, and he had only seen each other on TV news before. The head of a country, who ranks third in the queue of vice premiers, is a small private entrepreneur who can catch up with him. At present, the State Council has a leadership structure of one principal and four vice-premiers, with the premier presiding over the overall work, and the four vice premiers assisting in the work, and taking charge of work in different fields.

However, as the host, Han Hao certainly can't stand stupidly, and he also stepped forward to welcome the head of the company to visit and inspect the booth of the company.

"I've heard of you for a long time, and it's really a great credit to be able to make a township enterprise so prosperous. You can also let BMW President Milberg come to the scene in person, presumably you Huaxia Industry exhibited a lot of treasures, if you have time, please introduce one or two to me. ”

As soon as the vice premier in charge of industry, Chrysostom, opened his door, of course, there were few people in China who refused, and many people could not ask for such a good thing when the chief inspected it. Seeing this, Milberg invited the vice chancellor to visit the BMW booth later, and then left on his own without disturbing the trip.

Han Hao first started with the introduction of the motorcycle engine, and briefly retold how Huaxia motorcycle started from imitation, and now has its own engine patent technology and its own intellectual property rights. He also specifically pointed out that the three engines independently designed and developed by Huaxia motorcycle engineers are now being installed in the models of the joint venture in Vietnam, without any intellectual property problems.

"When we started our joint venture in Vietnam, we hired a specialized IP lawyer to assess the risks of going abroad. Intellectual property barriers are the biggest obstacle for us to go abroad, because developed country brands are ahead of the curve and have applied for many patents. Thanks to our team of engineers, they have bypassed many minefields of patent infringement and developed products with independent intellectual property rights, so now our products can stand the test when we go abroad. It is said that a Japanese brand deliberately dismantled our engine in Vietnam and prepared to sue for patent infringement, but the final result was insufficient evidence. Our Huaxia industry has its own technology accumulation in the field of motorcycles, built our own patent pool, and in some aspects is ahead of foreign counterparts. ”

Honda Motorcycle in Vietnam once wanted to sue Huaxia Industry for Panda Motorcycle Engine, which was information obtained by Le Guhua in Vietnam through special channels.

"Don't worry, even if they do infringe Honda's patents, they won't win the lawsuit in Vietnam!"

This is Li Guhua's original words to Han Hao, now the joint venture Panda motorcycle with super high cost performance, has squeezed out the hegemony of Japanese brands in Vietnam for a long time, sales in early 1999 has jumped to the first place in the local area, production and sales boom a good momentum. The joint venture, which was visited by the Vietnamese military, is now generating a steady stream of profits, so Honda's plan to do something is guaranteed not to succeed. What's more, when deciding on the product launch, Han Hao had already made a patent war deployment, and would definitely not design infringement.

The first-generation Huaxia Princess scooter engine imitated many Honda technologies, which is an undeniable reality, but after the second-generation improvement and the third-generation forward research and development, the Huaxia motorcycle engine has gotten rid of the Honda technology patent imprint and has its own intellectual property rights.

While the joint venture Huaxia Motorcycle was gaining popularity in Vietnam, other domestic motorcycle brands also took notice of the neighboring country's emerging market and began to export motorcycles to Vietnam in a big way. The Chinese brands that flocked to Vietnam soon started the price war mode, and the various brands that were killing in the dark in China once again regarded Vietnam as a battlefield.

In order to fight back against Chinese motorcycle brands, the Japanese motorcycle camp led by Honda began to raise patent weapons and prepare to sue Chinese companies for infringement of intellectual property rights.

Of course, this is a Japanese counterattack after the helplessness of Huaxia Industry, and it can't catch the handle of Huaxia motorcycles, but other Chinese brands are not immune, because their engines and shapes are imitated from Japanese brands.

In fact, Han Hao also doesn't like this group of domestic counterparts who are frantically pouring into Vietnam, because of overcapacity, they regard Vietnam as a dumping market. A large number of low-cost Chinese motorcycles without after-sales guarantee flooded the entire Vietnamese market at once, and the price of the car fell again and again, and soon faced an unprofitable situation. This also led to the almost collapse of the price system of the Vietnamese motorcycle market, although the Panda of the Huaxia joint venture entered the market appeal in advance, but also had to reduce the price to meet the competition.

In addition to facing patent prosecutions by Japanese brands, the influx of Chinese motorcycle brands has also triggered the Vietnamese government's preparations to raise import tax rates on motorcycles. Of course, Han Hao has no way of knowing whether this is the result of the Vietnamese military's contribution, and if the market is allowed to compete disorderly, Vietnam's motorcycle industry will not be able to develop.

Huaxia Industry plans to build Vietnam into a bridgehead to enter the Southeast Asian market, and intends to invest in Vietnam for a long time, of course, it does not want to make the market bad all at once. Some motorcycles from China break down soon after use, which has a great impact on the reputation of Chinese brands, and may even involve the Sino-Vietnamese joint venture Panda brand.

"If you go abroad, patents are a weapon that must be taken seriously, and I am very happy that you can plan ahead. Many state-owned enterprises have not noticed this, and you have made a good start, and you should vigorously publicize it. ”

As soon as the connoisseur heard it, he knew how careful the plan of Huaxia Industry was, and the vice premier couldn't help but praise it.

"This is our newly developed special motorcycle for state guest etiquette, which is specially designed for China with reference to the characteristics of courtesy cars in various countries, and uses a lot of Chinese elements for exterior design. Taking this opportunity, if the foreign affairs department needs it, our company is willing to donate it free of charge. It is also an honor for our company to be able to serve the country to receive foreign guests!"

The biggest use of the courtesy car is to open the way for the police, and if the foreign affairs department can use the Huaxia motorcycle as a courtesy car service, then this is the biggest advertisement. When the courtesy car project was proposed, Han Hao had already had a plan, and now it happened that the chief was inspecting, and he took the initiative to mention it.

"If the performance is qualified, this is a good proposal, but whether it will work or not will have to be coordinated by the foreign affairs department. After returning to Beijing, I will pass on your kindness to the foreign affairs department to see if they agree to accept it. ”

After carefully looking at the courtesy motorcycle pushed out by Huaxia Industry, the vice premier felt that it was not inferior to the vehicle that greeted him when he went abroad, but how to use it must be tested and reviewed by the foreign affairs department.

Unexpectedly, the vice premier actually agreed to his request, which made Han Hao very happy. Next, he took the vice premier and his entourage to the automobile exhibition area and gave priority to the introduction of the Panda concept car.

The Panda concept car had already been announced, so the vice premier and his entourage did not show much surprise, but when they came to the C1 Zhonghua sedan, everyone quickly turned their heads to each other, because this car was quickly compared with the M1 Zhengdao sedan just now.

In terms of appearance, the Zhengdao car is longer than the Chinese car, and the appearance is more in line with the aesthetic of the Chinese. If you look at the wheelbase, the Zhengdao sedan is a mid-level sedan, while the Zhonghua sedan is a compact sedan, and the Zhengdao sedan wins in comparison. However, in terms of interior, the Zhonghua sedan is better, and the materials and workmanship are much better than those of the Zhengdao sedan.

"China is a good name, love my China and win glory for the country!"

Knowing that Han Hao named the C1 sedan "Zhonghua", the vice premier was very happy to praise it.

Opening the hatch cover and seeing the two Chinese characters "Pangu" written on the engine cover, the vice premier showed a satisfied smile on his face. Compared with the Zhengdao car, it is still the Zhonghua car that can get his favor more. As a model of independent cars, the engine must be a product independently developed by China.

"The Pangu 1.8L engine is jointly developed by our company and AVL, but the intellectual property rights are completely owned by our Huaxia Industry, and our company's engineers participated in the whole project and learned a lot of research and development experience from it. It can be said that whether it is an engine or a car, we not only have property rights, but also knowledge!"

This Pangu engine is the pride of Han Hao, the Huaxia engineers have overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers to successfully develop it, which belongs to the crystallization of the wisdom of countless Chinese people, so he was full of a sense of accomplishment when he reported.

"Now I can understand why there have been so many people watching in front of your booth, to be honest, I would not believe that you a private enterprise can do so much before I came, now seeing is believing, your achievements over the years are not a fluke, but a due return. ”

After seeing the exhibits of Huaxia Industry, the vice premier was also a little excited, and he continued.

"Today I saw two cars independently developed by Chinese companies, one is your China, and the other is Brilliance's Zhengdao, from these two cars I see the future of Chinese automobiles. I believe that with your efforts, our consumers will be able to drive cheap and durable cars as soon as possible!"

At this time, Han Hao knew that Jin Yangyong also announced his Zhengdao car today, and the meaning revealed from the vice premier's words was that he had just been to Brilliance's booth and had seen Zhengdao car. Okay, it's really an old fox, Jin Yangyong didn't leak a word at all, so he made a big show for today's auto show.

"Chief, I would like to ask, if Zhonghua Car wants to enter the car market, what procedures do it need to go through?"

Han Hao also knew that sometimes the chief's sentence was topped by the following 10,000 sentences, and he also took this opportunity to ask questions.

"You guys, all of you want to break your head into the sedan market. I'm still the same old saying, today I only came to visit, not to say anything. In the end, how to apply for the car directory, there are special legal procedures, and you can apply in accordance with the regulations. ”

I thought that the sedan was so fragrant, it was really a big dog, a small dog, and a wild dog were grabbing, and everyone knew how big the oil and water would be if they grabbed it. However, the deputy prime minister still said more, because he was very satisfied with the Pangu engine.

"I don't care about the policy alone, but if you want to succeed, you little wild dogs can go and find the big dogs to help. ”

The big dog, small dog, wild dog theory, is a metaphor put forward by the premier of the State Council, and it has now spread in the industry. Big dogs and small dogs are the regular army of the three major and three small state-owned enterprises, and wild dogs are other automobile companies.

The vice premier continued to look briefly for a while and then led people away, leaving Han Hao alone to think, what was the metaphor of the chief's last sentence?
