Chapter Seventy-Three: Going to Japan Again
The person who came was the film crew of "Oriental Time and Space", they heard that Huaxia Factory was preparing to step into the field of automobiles, which was the first private enterprise in China to set foot in the automobile industry, and the producer felt that it was very newsworthy, so the column team sent a group of people to prepare to follow the process of Huaxia Factory's car manufacturing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's not going to work!"
Originally, there was no trace of the micro-noodles, and Han Hao planned to work quietly and publicize it when everything was ripe. Now that the automobile project has just been launched, there is a suspicion of playing the national policy sideline, and now the reporter is ready to report with great fanfare, Han Hao is definitely unwilling.
He naturally knows that there are many irregularities in China's current policies, and you can make a fortune by making a lot of money, but if you want to announce it loudly, it will easily attract heavy blows from relevant departments.
No matter how the column team persuades, Han Hao is just one word - "no"!
Through the relationship between them, "Oriental Time and Space" found Cheng Kai and asked him to persuade Han Hao to accept their tracking and shooting, so as to leave a precious record.
Cheng Kai thought about it for a while, if the micro-side of Huaxia Factory is really listed in the future, then broadcasting relevant documentaries in "Oriental Time and Space" can indeed play a very positive role in Huaxia Factory's products.
So, an agreement was reached with the film crew of "Oriental Time and Space", and it is okay to track the shooting, but when the film will be broadcast and the selection of materials in the future, Huaxia Factory has the right to veto one vote, and it also has all the intellectual property rights for all audio-visual materials.
This means that Huaxia Factory allows CCTV to follow the filming, but what will be broadcast and when it will be broadcast must be decided by itself. After weighing the pros and cons, the "Oriental Time and Space" column team agreed to this request and signed a confidentiality agreement under the witness of the lawyer.
In addition, add a little supplementary content, that is, the Huaxia factory bears the cost of the 3-person follow-up group, after all, people stay in Hushan all the year round, and they have to follow the business trip, which is difficult for the column group to bear, so it will be borne by the Huaxia factory.
Therefore, in Han Hao's daily work, he often follows a group of reporters, 1 text reporter and 2 camera reporters, trying to completely record the process of Huaxia Factory's entry into the automotive field.
Soon Han Hao found out that something was wrong, and he was like being watched at all times, so he negotiated with the reporters and let them follow him only when it was about dealing with the key nodes of the car project. Under normal circumstances, let them move freely in the factory area, or return to the capital to do other things.
Han Hao visited Japan again, and this time the purpose was very clear, that is, he hoped to discuss technical cooperation with Suzuki and ask it to transfer the production technology of micro-noodles.
During a previous visit to Suzuki, the company's leaders, Osamu Suzuki, and Han Hao reached an agreement of intent in principle, agreeing to sell the ST100 technology of the micro-face model to the Huaxia plant at an appropriate time.
Therefore, Han Hao this time is in the spirit of the mentality to come to Japan A, compared with domestic manufacturers, Suzuki's micro-car technology is first-class in the world, even if it pays some more price, he also intends to introduce Suzuki micro-face ST100 models back to China.
Compared with the Suzuki ST90 model introduced by several major domestic micro-noodle manufacturers in the early 80s, the ST100 is a new generation of upgraded version, which was launched around 1986. Although there is already the latest ST120 on the road today, it is obviously impossible for Huaxia Factory to introduce ST120 models by technology. However, ST100 is enough for Huaxia factories to digest, enough to compete with other micro-noodle giants in the domestic market.
"I'm sorry, Han Haojun, I have to break my promise! Because of the strong opposition of our two partners in China, they firmly disagree with our transfer of Suzuki model technology to you, saying that it will affect the interests of our joint venture in China. After discussion by our board of directors, we have decided to reject your application for technology introduction. It's a pity, although I personally would love to work with your company, but for the sake of the entire Suzuki Group, I have to make such a difficult decision!"
Originally, Suzuki thought that the ST100 technology had lagged behind for nearly 10 years, and even if it was sold to Huaxia Factory, it would not have much impact, especially if it could help Suzuki secretly develop a third potential partner in China. Huaxia factory's motorcycles are currently forming a whirlwind in the Chinese market, although there are suspicions of technical infringement, but Suzuki still admires Huaxia factory's ability to develop into a force to be reckoned with in the Chinese motorcycle market.
Suzuki deals with state-owned enterprises in China, and in the cooperation with the two joint ventures of Chang'an and Changhe, Suzuki feels that there is a communication gap between the two sides. The way of thinking about problems in the context of state-owned enterprises is not flexible enough, and the vitality of the joint venture as a whole is not enough, and it is somewhat lifeless. Therefore, he wanted to take a closer look at the situation of the Huaxia Factory, because the Huaxia Factory is a private enterprise with a flexible mechanism, and the Huaxia Factory is listed as a potential partner for cooperation.
Due to the two major joint ventures in China, Suzuki thought that there would not be much resistance to technology transfer to China as before, but he did not expect that the ceremonial notification of Chang'an and Changhe caused a strong backlash from them. For this reason, the two companies deliberately ventilated together and sent important personnel to Japan Aben, and found Suzuki Shu in person to ask him to withdraw his commitment to cooperate with Huaxia Factory, and did not hesitate to interrupt the cooperation as a bargaining chip.
Changan is Suzuki's largest partner in China, and Alto is at the forefront of annual production, not to mention the introduction of digested micro-flour products. As a partner in the sedan project, Changan has always been Suzuki's most valued partner. As for Changhe, it will be used as the main base of Suzuki micro noodles in the future, and it is even more unlikely that there will be one more competitor with Suzuki's blood relationship in the market, especially the Huaxia factory has achieved remarkable results in the field of motorcycles.
Anyway, Huaxia Factory's preparation to enter the field of micro-noodles triggered the unanimous blockade of domestic micro-surface market giants Chang'an and Changhe.
With China's two major joint ventures unanimous with the outside world, Suzuki had to appease his two partners and sacrifice the Huaxia plant.
"We just introduced the technology that you eliminated, and didn't ask for a joint venture with your company, isn't it?"
Full of anticipation but ushered in a basin of cold water, Han Hao asked in a trance.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it. For a certain period of time, our company will guarantee not to sell or transfer technology to third-party companies in China, which is a supplementary agreement we have just reached with two partners, Chang'an and Changhe. ”
Suzuki Shu only saw a brief hesitation in Han Hao's eyes, and soon the young man in front of him regained his fighting spirit.
"In that case, I can only accept this result, just like the result of the last motorcycle collaboration. Although I was disappointed, we Chinese have an old saying that buying and selling is not love, and I am very grateful to Suzuki-san for his hospitality on this trip. However, I will not give up when entering the micro-surface market, and our factory will continue to look for suitable partners, so let's compete on the battlefield in the future!"
Shopping malls are like battlefields, who would have thought that the cooperation that was talked about before would be so yellow. However, this also stimulated Han Hao's fighting spirit, and Suzuki is not the only company in the world that has micro-surface technology.
Han Hao found that his ability to resist pressure was much stronger, and although he was closed to Suzuki, he did not panic.
"Bang Bang-"
Suzuki Shu clapped his hands twice, looked at Han Hao with admiration and continued.
"You're more reluctant than I was when I was younger, and being able to keep your fighting spirit high is the key to our progress and success. I am looking forward to competing with your factory in the market in the future, and only good competitors can unleash our unlimited potential. However, in order to compensate for my mistakes, I specially arranged another partner for you, Han Haojun. ”
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, it seemed that things had taken a turn for the better, Han Hao pressed the impulse in his heart, and waited for Suzuki Xiu's next step.
"Although we at Suzuki cannot transfer technology to you, there is another company with the same technology in Japan and is not restricted by Chinese partners. As you may have guessed, it is Mitsubishi. Their company has always wanted to enter the Chinese market and is interested in selling the transferred technology to you. If you think that's acceptable, then I'll introduce you to the chairman of Mitsubishi Corporation. ”
Osamu Suzuki actually recommended Mitsubishi Corporation, which has always been in the middle of the second group in the Nippon A car factory, although there are performance cars such as EVO in sedans, but it is more famous as the Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicle that has been in the limelight in the Dakar Rally. In the past, off-road vehicles in China have always been synonymous with Jeep, but in recent years, Mitsubishi's imported Pajero has gradually replaced its position and become the first choice for many buses that need to run on mountain roads.
Like one of the domestic micro-surface giants, Wuling Motors is the introduction of Mitsubishi L100 model technology, although Mitsubishi Motors is not much on the micro-surface, but there are 3,000 nails in the broken ship, as long as it is willing to provide model technology, it is enough for Huaxia factory to digest.
"That's a big thank you! Mitsubishi is a little inferior to your Suzuki company in terms of micro-cars, but it is still a worthy partner. If you can help to match, our Huaxia factory is willing to cooperate with Mitsubishi Corporation. ”
Huaxia plant now mainly has to solve the problem from 0 to 1, if you can introduce Mitsubishi technology and then digest it, then you can get started as soon as possible through this step.
Due to financial reasons, Mitsubishi has been peddling its next-generation engine technology to the outside world, and Han Hao also wants to take this opportunity to get the micro-engine back. When I talked to Suzuki, Suzuki did not agree to transfer the engine technology, but only said that the Huaxia plant would ask Suzuki to purchase it from a domestic supporting engine factory. I didn't expect that now it is a blessing in disguise, and it is possible to cross the engine ravine in one step.
Under the arrangement of Suzuki Shu, the next day Han Hao began to contact Mitsubishi Corporation.
