Chapter 163: An eye-opener

Zhao Quanfu is a candidate who is expected to be the vice president of Chrysler Corporation, and belongs to a well-deserved star-level bull in the Chinese automobile industry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This makes all those who are familiar with the current situation of China's automobile industry puzzled: Why can Huaxia Industry collect such a skilled person under its account? Zhao Quanfu has no choice but to go back to China to suffer the guilt of having a good future abroad?

"It is estimated that the money is given a lot, the CEO of Huaxia Industry is said to have always been willing to use money to smash people, give me an annual salary of 10 million, and I will run back! Anyway, the level of domestic enterprises is low, and the blind gangsters can take so much money, who would think that there is too much money?"

"Not necessarily, does he still need to worry about money in his position, in the United States, it is much more profitable to convert dollars into dollars than in China. I think it may be that people really want to do a career? The domestic automobile industry is now in a depression stage, and hard work can produce results. ”

"Only a person like you, who has just worked for a short time, will you believe in what ideals, what career? Give money to work, it is justified, there is no money to fool, fool and do!"

......

The report of "China Automotive News" put Zhao Quanfu on the cusp for a while, and people are speculating about what his motives are?

"Thank you for your hard work, and you have to accompany me to return to China for a toss. ”

In the departure hall of Detroit Airport, 37-year-old Zhao Quanfu held a one-way ticket in his hand and said to his wife, who accompanied him back to China.

"It's better to go back to your home country, so that you don't regret missing out on a good opportunity in the future. Anyway, follow you, the three of us mother and son will have food to eat wherever we go!"

After packing all their luggage, Zhao Quanfu and his family collectively boarded the flight back to China.

As a representative figure, Zhao Quanfu started the journey of overseas Chinese returnees to return to China, and became one of the first batch of pioneers who returned to China from abroad.

In fact, this time Han Hao went to the United States and recruited a total of more than 20 engineers to return to China, but Zhao Quanfu was the most famous and was repeatedly mentioned. These more than 20 engineers will join the new Huaxia Automobile Research Institute and become project leaders, and they will all be under the management of Zhao Quanfu.

Han Hao and Zhao Quanfu had a very pleasant communication, and the two sides reached a consensus on the long-term goal, which is to establish an international standard positive research and development system in Huaxia Automobile Research Institute. According to the configuration of the research center of international automobile giants, the R&D team and development system with hematopoietic function have been gradually constructed.

When South Korean cars took off in the 70s, more than 2,000 engineers returned to their homeland in just one year, and according to incomplete statistics, more than 10,000 engineers in the automotive industry returned to China in the following years, and are still active in Korean automobile companies, becoming the main force in the rise of Korean automobiles.

With the rise of Hyundai, Kia, and Daewoo automobile companies, many Korean college students who have studied abroad have returned to China for employment as soon as they graduate, and they are no longer attached to foreign automobile groups. The vacancies they left behind were later replaced by the Chinese, who became a force to be reckoned with in the foreign automotive field.

After a long flight, the plane finally landed at Hudong International Airport, and Zhao Quanfu's family returned to their long-lost motherland.

Han Hao personally greeted him at the airport, and such a heavyweight joined Huaxia Industrial Group, in addition to helping to establish a positive R&D system in business, he also invisibly helped to do a propaganda of buying horse bones. In the future, when other outstanding overseas engineers return to China, the first choice they consider may be Huaxia Automobile Research Institute.

Zhao Quanfu's ability alone cannot build Han Hao's dream, he needs a team of many people like Zhao Quanfu, and everyone will work together for the rise of Chinese automobiles.

Seeing Han Hao, Zhao Quanfu's wife couldn't believe that this young man was the CEO of a company with a market value of more than 10 billion, and he was the one who single-handedly promoted her husband's return to the motherland. However, Han Hao's elegant and confident temperament is quite similar to Zhao Quanfu, no wonder the two have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

is polite to others, not a nouveau riche who doesn't know the height of the sky after making a sum of money, judging by his attitude towards his husband, he should be an easy-to-get along boss.

In her heart, Zhao Quanfu's wife commented silently.

Han Hao brought two Huaxia Light II 7-seater versions to greet him, one carrying people and the other with luggage, because the Zhao family moved back with a lot of luggage.

Seeing the second generation of Huaxia Light, the front of the car square "H" logo, Zhao Quanfu recognized at a glance that it was a product of Huaxia Automobile. Before returning to China, he still made up some knowledge of the domestic automobile industry and also had an understanding of the product distribution of Huaxia Automobile.

Knowing that Huaxia Industrial Group uses its own products as reception vehicles, Zhao Quanfu expressed his understanding.

After going around the car, Zhao Quanfu found that Huaxia Automobile's products were okay, and the manufacturing process was a passing product, and there was no small workshop process in his imagination. Although it is only a micro-bus, it has kept up with the international trend in terms of styling, and it is vaguely visible that there is a shadow of the Suzuki model, but it still adds a lot of original things.

It takes nearly two and a half hours to drive back to Jiangzhou from Hujiang City, and Zhao Quanfu decided to make his home in Jiangzhou, which will be the location of the Huaxia Automobile Research Institute in the future.

Han Hao has prepared a villa for him as a temporary place to stay, and if he is not satisfied, he can find a new address on his own, and the company will provide reimbursement for expenses.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Quanfu felt that the noise of the whole vehicle was quite loud, and once he reached a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, he sometimes couldn't hear clearly when he spoke in the car, but the chassis was quite reassuring. Knowing that the vehicle uses a 1.2L engine provided by AVL, and the driver can drive at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, Zhao Quanfu thought that Huaxia Automobile had more technical accumulation than he imagined.

As a representative figure who has returned from abroad, the Zhejiang Provincial Government is ready to give him the treatment of a provincial expert, and the governor will also meet with him as a typical propaganda to encourage overseas talents to return to China. In terms of children's enrollment, the enrollment channel has also been specially approved to enter key primary and secondary schools in the province. It can be said that for talents with real talents and real learning, China still attaches great importance to and gives preferential treatment.

After three days of busyness, Zhao Quanfu had time to come to Hushan to witness the strength of Huaxia Industrial Group.

Seeing a large area of modern factories, Made in China has initially shown its fierce strength, and a steady stream of new cars from Huaxia Automobile has rolled off the assembly line. The equipment used in the production line in the workshop is purchased from abroad, especially the latest German production line imported for the Pangu 1.8L engine, which has reached the international advanced level and is not inferior to Chrysler hardware.

This is one of the advantages of latecomers, you can get the most advanced production equipment in the world through procurement, so as to achieve late-mover catch-up in hardware, of course, you have to have money first.

Zhao Quanfu finally saw the true face of the Pangu 1.8L engine, which was a reverse imitation of Toyota's technology with the help of AVL, and in the eyes of engine experts like him, it was already a pretty good work.

Thanks to the professional equipment introduced by AVL, the engine manufacturing process is okay, the only disadvantage is that many core components and controls have to be imported from abroad. In addition, the durability of the engine has yet to be tested in practice.

The Pangu engine is a big surprise, and the other surprise is the prototype of the C1 Zhonghua sedan.

Although there is no production catalogue for the sedan 7, Huaxia Automobile has actually built a prototype car that can be used on the road and is ready to put on its own engine.

Knowing that the model imitated the Toyota Corolla, Zhao Quanfu was more familiar with this car in the United States, he observed around the car and carefully checked, and found that the C1 Zhonghua sedan basically reached about seventy percent of the Corolla's power from the exterior and interior. The reason why the Corolla has become a world-famous car is because it is durable and is the first choice for economy cars.

Han Hao also opened the secret project of Huaxia Automobile Research to Zhao Quanfu, one is for the Jinbei light bus B1 model, which is a new product that extends from the Huaxia Light model.

In recent years, the sales volume of Brilliance Jinbei has steadily increased in China, and FAW Xiaojiefang, Renault Tafik and so on have no power to fight back, with annual sales of more than 40,000 vehicles, and hundreds of millions of net profits every year.

In such a high-yield light passenger car market, of course, Han Hao also wants to step in and get a piece of the pie, B1 is a light passenger that imitates Toyota Hiace, and continues to focus on cost-effective advantages to enter the market at a low price.

In view of Jinbei's main cargo target market, the B1 will be further optimized in terms of comfort, adopting the interior design of the C1 Zhonghua sedan, and changing to a light passenger positioning with mixed passenger and cargo use. Not only can it pull goods, but it can also be competent in pulling people, focusing on mixed models. This is a revelation from the hot sales of the second generation of Huaxia Light, Chinese consumers want cars to be competent for multi-functional use. In China, there is basically one car for a family, so when buying a car, I hope that the car can take on more functions.

Another closely kept secret project is the S1, a sporty utility model that sounds like an SUV in its initials.

It is believed that the SUV originated in 1984 with the Cherokee II, which was the first to introduce a load-bearing body into the design of an SUV model, so as to maintain the excellent passability of the vehicle while having a road driving experience comparable to that of a sedan. Although the shape is the same as the closed compartment of the previous pickup truck, the chassis has been changed from a pickup truck to a sedan model, creating a new generation of car types.

Now the Cherokee produced by Shouqi Jeep is actually an SUV, but its domestic sales are gradually shrinking, and Chinese people now prefer sedan sedans with butts.

But abroad, especially in the United States, Toyota followed the trend and launched the RAV4, and Honda also launched the CRV, and these two cars were very popular in the American market and became the leaders of the new generation of fashion trends. Sales also gradually increased, and began to catch up with the ranks of sedans. Since then, Mercedes-Benz has begun to launch ML, and BMW has been brewing X5, all of which are eyeing this sudden outbreak of market segments, and SUVs have suddenly become popular abroad.

Toyota's RAV4 is built on the Corolla platform, and the chassis is basically copied from the Corolla, so it only needs a little modification and debugging to change from Corolla to RAV4.

The SUV of the S1 project is based on the RAV4, which is built using the chassis of the C1 Zhonghua sedan, which is basically the chassis of the sedan with the shell of an off-road vehicle to form an SUV.

In order to maintain consistency with foreign trends, while developing the C1 project, Han Hao also referred to the U.S. market trend to quietly build the S1 project.

SUVs don't seem to be popular in China at the moment, the Cherokee from the United States is no longer in the limelight, and the joint venture company that Jinbei and GM intends to establish also intends to start production of GM Trailblazer SUVs, and it is not known whether it can activate the SUV market in China.

Due to the immaturity of the model, although Han Hao has prepared the S1 project, he has not planned to officially prepare for the launch, because the domestic SUV market is still very small, and he still focuses more on the sedan.

Seeing that Huaxia Automobile has even been involved in SUVs and organized manpower to start research and development, Zhao Quanfu feels that he is really eye-opening. From the perspective of a professional expert in the field of automobiles, Huaxia Automobile is on a very correct road and has ideas about the scientific planning of products.

Originally, I thought that Huaxia Automobile belonged to the country and had no idea, and planned with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, but I didn't expect to see the role of a relatively regular army. Zhao Quanfu thought to himself that if he didn't come back, he believed that Huaxia Automobile would also be able to embark on the road of regularization and internationalization by virtue of continuous exploration.

With such a good foundation, Zhao Quanfu no longer has no bottom about his work, and he feels that he has really made the right choice to return to China this time. Now that the R&D work of Huaxia Automobile has laid a good foundation, he only needs to build a very beautiful garden house in accordance with foreign standardization on the foundation.

Han Hao has given him a recruitment establishment of 2,000 people, Zhao Quanfu needs to fill up the Huaxia Automobile Research Institute within 3 years, and also needs to set up a corresponding research team on the core technologies that Huaxia Automobile lacks to complete the layout of research and development work.

It is difficult to find 2,000 engineers with work experience at once, but it is much easier to find college graduates who have just walked out of the school gate and have development potential.

One of the good things about college graduates is that they have cheap wages and imagination, and they can form a project team as long as they are paired with several discipline leaders, which is very suitable for the current situation of Huaxia Automobile Research Institute. Otherwise, even if the research engineers of domestic automobile companies are poached, they may not be able to fill the quota of the research institute. Because the domestic R&D force is too weak, the number of engineers engaged in R&D is very limited.

Zhao Quanfu looked at the environment of Huaxia Automobile and felt that it was very suitable for returnees to return to China for employment, so he decided to go to the United States in person to find more helpers to come back.

At the beginning, even if South Korean cars took off and relied on a large number of people who returned from abroad, now it is the turn of Chinese cars to usher in this critical moment, and China's accession to the WTO is just around the corner, so it is time for engineers to go to China to start contributing to the catch-up of Chinese cars.

Through the Internet, Zhao Quanfu began to send out heroic posts, recruiting outstanding Chinese engineers in the United States and even other countries to return to China and work together for the same goal.

One of the good things about Huaxia Automobile Research Institute is that it is newly established, and Zhao Quanfu designs the management process and organization according to the foreign model, so there will be no cultural integration problem for overseas engineers to return to China, and they will quickly adapt to domestic work, because there is no difference in management between here and abroad.

Inadvertently, Han Hao netted the big fish of Zhao Quanfu, and this big fish continuously attracted many small fish for him, and jointly formed a huge R&D fish army in China.

When the recruitment was going smoothly, there was an unexpected discordant sound on the eve of the international auto show.
