Leaving Zhao Quanfu and Xu Hongbing to recruit people in Australia, Han Hao took a private jet back to China first.

When a pond dries up, it is often the big and powerful fish that are the first to jump out of the backwater and run to the great river of freedom.

Because they have a stronger sense of smell and a deeper sense of crisis, they will slip away as soon as the wind blows.

DSI's production line was only half suspended and still running, but R&D work came to a complete standstill.

At a time when giants such as ZF and Aisin began to invest heavily in 8AT, DSI was temporarily unable to invest in the research and development of next-generation new products.

The 4AT technology is mature, the 6AT completes the test, and the 8AT is far away, which is the current situation of DSI.

When the company announced that it wanted to optimize the R&D team, many capable R&D talents began to look for their next home, unwilling to waste their lives on a sinking ship.

They were surprised to find that the most generous employers and the largest number of recruits are from Chinese companies, according to incomplete statistics, at least 6 Chinese companies have entrusted intermediaries to recruit automatic transmission-related talents, showing China's desire for core automotive technology.

"There are many jobs that require me to work in China, and although the money is very high, I want to leave Australia, which is why I politely turned them down. My family is here, and if I want to work in China, no amount of money is meaningful. No, I could consider changing careers to become a car mechanic. ”

Many DSI talents who have left the company have expressed a desire not to leave Australia, and they are even willing to change careers. After all, being a repairman can support yourself because Australia's wage levels are relatively balanced across industries.

The thirst for talent outweighed the control of costs, and Chery was the first to change its strategy, setting up a transmission studio in Australia to attract technicians to work for them without having to leave the country.

"The international allocation of resources is a broad road for China's automobile industry to catch up, and with the example of Zhonghua Group's successful CVT, we at Chery can also achieve new breakthroughs with the help of external forces. Technology Chery is the slogan we are proud of, and only by driving technology can we become bigger and stronger.

The establishment of a studio in Australia will greatly enhance the strength of our independent R&D team. ”

Chery's new boss Yin Yuefeili set up a location in Australia against public opinion, in order to get his own automatic transmission out as soon as possible.

Due to the early start, Chery has successfully won a small team, which is the project team of DSI to plan and study CVT. DSI's optimization and reduction department was included in the list of layoffs as a project team with a strategic reserve such as CVT.

Chery's timely appearance allowed them to find their next place to live, and they collectively jumped ship and left.

Immediately afterwards, Chunghwa Group also rushed to Australia and announced the establishment of its own Australian R&D division, mainly recruiting AT transmission talents.

Compared with Chery, the salary level given by Zhonghua Group has increased by 15%, especially the talents who have been engaged in the research and development of 6AT are more paid.

"Judging from the information obtained from the Internet search, Zhonghua Group is a strong player in China's automobile industry, with sales of nearly one million vehicles. Chery's sales volume is less than 200,000, and its development prospects cannot be compared with the former.

In order not to suffer a second layoff, I would suggest that it is better to choose Zhonghua Group, after all, they seem to be richer.

The company that can take the ZF CVT should not be far behind. ”

Obviously, the same Chinese auto companies set up local recruitment, and after comparing the technical talents from DSI, most of them chose the strong Zhonghua Group.

They work for Chung Hwa Group with only one goal, which is to help make the 4AT.

The reason why Han Hao could rush back to China was that he was asked to attend the investment signing ceremony in Wujiang City, the capital of northern Hubei Province.

After Miao Yuwei took office as a senior official in Wujiang City, in addition to the primary goal of assisting the Second Automobile to get out of the mountains and settle in the provincial capital to achieve a smooth transition, it is also necessary to continue to give full play to the old role to create a new industrial growth point for Wujiang City.

Automobiles are undoubtedly the industrial pillars of northern Hubei Province, but relying on the second automobile alone is not the most ideal choice, and Miao Yuwei plans to introduce other automobile companies to Wujiang City, which is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

At the "Wujiang Economic Promotion Conference" held in Hujiang City, General Motors expressed its intention to build a factory in Wujiang, which gave Miao Yuwei a new harvest.

In 2005, General Motors' performance in the United States was very unsatisfactory, and like its old partner Ford, GM also broke the news of huge losses in half a year. However, in the Chinese market, GM relied on the preconceived notion of the Buick brand, and its sales continued to rise.

For the sake of its long-term China strategy, GM intends to deploy in central China and prepare for competition in the next 10 years.

"China is the only region in GM's global market with double-digit growth, and we have raised our expectations for the Chinese market, which is likely to overtake the U.S. as the world's largest automotive market.

GM China is a relatively independent subsidiary, and poor sales in the U.S. will not affect us, and the dividends from SAIC-GM alone will allow us to continue to invest in China. ”

The new agreement with the American Automobile Union has greatly increased the operating costs of GM, Ford and Chrysler, which are gradually falling behind in the fierce competition of Japanese brands.

However, the head of GM China said that it will continue to increase investment in the Chinese market, and the bad situation at the US headquarters will not spread to China.

Han Hao and Miao Yuwei have been old friends for many years, and the other party warmly invited him to invest in Wujiang City, and promised a large amount of preferential conditions, and he finally decided to settle down after a careful investigation.

According to the current international standards, to enter the top 10 in the global automotive industry, annual sales of 3 million vehicles is a major threshold. With the further development of the global economy, this threshold is likely to be raised to 5 million units in the next few years. This is a huge pressure on the Chinese Group, which aspires to enter the top 10 of the former game, with an annual growth rate of more than 60%. In addition to the domestic market, we must also make a difference in the foreign market.

At present, the entire Zhonghua Group counts the production capacity that is still under construction, and the total domestic production capacity is only 1.5 million vehicles, and there is no doubt that the new base will continue to expand the production capacity.

By the end of 2008, Chunghwa Group will achieve a new target of 2 million passenger cars and commercial vehicles combined.

In the past, Han Hao set a goal for Zhonghua Group to achieve 3.5 million vehicles by 2014, but now he has taken the initiative to raise his expectations, and by 2008, he will have to achieve a breakthrough of 2 million vehicles, and hit the 5 million mark in 2014.

"To achieve such a huge goal, it is important to tap the potential of the Chinese market, especially in rural areas. At a time when international giants are concentrated in large and medium-sized cities, we have to speed up our efforts in the urban and rural secondary markets. As the main force of the group's strategy of surrounding cities in rural areas, it is necessary for Huaxia brand to continue its strategic layout and expand production capacity.

Entering Wujiang City, it can connect with the central part and radiate the west, further expanding the influence of the Huaxia brand. Huaxia Hongguang's short supply allows us to see the strong consumption power of China's rural market. ”

Han Hao decided to let the Huaxia factory land in Wujiang City in advance, with a planned production capacity of 300,000 vehicles, and the first phase of the project will be put into production of 120,000 vehicles, which will be off the assembly line as soon as the National Day in 2006. According to the construction speed of mainstream brand factories, the construction of a new factory can be completed in 18 months, but in Zhonghua Group, this time can be compressed to 14 months.

As a strategic investment, Zhonghua Group asked for more than one million yuan of land in Wujiang City, which is equivalent to building a new company. After the Huaxia brand lands, when the time is ripe, the Chinese brand will also be introduced into production, so that the large-scale investment of more than 10 billion yuan makes Miao Yuwei very satisfied.

As we all know, Hubei Province belongs to the base camp of the Second Automobile Group, and the FAW is entrenched in the Northeast, SAIC is based in Hujiang and China Automobile (the name of Zhonghua Group) rises in Zhejiang, each domestic auto giant has its own basic plate and sphere of influence.

Miao Yuwei introduced GM and China Automobile to Wujiang City, which is suspected of luring wolves into the house, at least for the employees of the Second Automobile.

If someone else did this, it is estimated that he would have been drowned by the people of the second automobile with spit.

But Miao Yuwei successfully brought the second automobile out of the quagmire, and the joint venture with Nissan Renault's group rejuvenated the old state-owned enterprise with competitive vitality, and Dongfeng became the car company with the most joint venture partners, and his reputation is skyrocketing.

"The second automobile foundation is good, and now we have found a strong foreign partner, and the future is bright. Now the introduction of GM and Zhonghua Group is like introducing two big catfish, and only with excellent opponents can the competitiveness of the second automobile be stimulated.

I used to work in the second automobile, and I can be said to be a second automobile person, and I care more about the development of the second automobile than anyone else. Now that the times have changed, we can no longer engage in closed-door feudal separation, and if we are not active and unconfident in facing the competition, we will only be eliminated by the times. ”

As a qualified leader, Miao Yuwei has a more long-term vision.

At the signing ceremony, Wujiang City announced that a total of more than 200 billion investment projects have landed, of which the well-deserved first is Zhonghua Group, with a total investment of more than 20 billion, accounting for one-tenth.

Local governments will have performance requirements for investment promotion, so the total investment of Zhonghua Group in the next few years will be reported at one time, and Han Hao smiled after seeing it.

He is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching candidates in the entire signing venue, and with the further acceleration of information dissemination, the title of richest man has become his incarnation.

There is also Han Hao's old friend Li Shufu at the scene, Geely Real Estate has opened the path of national expansion, and naturally there is no shortage of central fortresses like Wujiang City.

"We will build houses wherever the government demolishes them!"

Seeing Han Hao, Li Shufu, who was smiling, said proudly.

The real estate industry suddenly ushered in a golden period, and many places have found a financial way to sell land to make money. As a fast, accurate and ruthless investment achievement, real estate has become the key favored object of local government investment.

"This time I got on the right track and followed the country to make money. Nowadays, cities around the country are demolishing and rebuilding, creating a strong consumer demand, and there is no need to worry about whether the house can be sold after it is built.

Brother, if you continue to develop at this pace, your position as the richest man is likely to be lost!"

Now there are many unknown rich people in the country all of a sudden, and the common thing is that they all started from real estate. Therefore, seeing Han Hao, Li Shufu couldn't help but ridicule this sentence.
