can make Han Hao remember with such a respectful attitude, the owner of this bronze statue is Mr. Rao Bing, who is known as the father of Chinese automobiles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, Chairman Mao visited the Soviet Union, visited the Soviet automobile factory, and saw a steady stream of trucks driving out of the workshop. The old man immediately said loudly: "We also want to have such a car factory in China!"

As a result, the First Automobile Factory was approved by the central government and was built with the assistance of the Soviet Union in Xinjing City, Northeast China. At that time, the central government selected several candidates for the director of the First Automobile Factory, and finally Chairman Mao personally decided to make the decision to serve as the director of the First Automobile Factory.

From scratch, the first automobile factory was built, and the famous cars of "Jiefang" and "Hongqi" were produced. Among the hardships, Rao Bing, as the factory director, has made great contributions.

After that, the country carried out the construction of the third line in preparation for the war, and in 1969, it considered the establishment of a second automobile factory in Yanshi City, Northern Hubei Province, and the first candidate that came to the central government's mind was still Rao Bing. So he withstood the chaos in China at the beginning, and led tens of thousands of workers from all over the world to start the second entrepreneurial process of building the second automobile. After 16 years of hard work, the second automobile factory stands proudly in the middle of the motherland. Because the second car people didn't want to be the second, after all, the second child could never compare with the first, so he later changed his name to Dongfeng Motor.

After the reform and opening up, Rao Bing, as one of the people who know the most about industry in China, was appointed vice minister of the Ministry of Machinery. Therefore, under his design, China's automobile industry began to cooperate with foreign parties, using the latest international technology to make up for the gap between decades of seclusion and seclusion. The establishment of SAIC Volkswagen was the result of his contacts and negotiations with the German side.

In the mid-80s, he took a back seat due to his age, but he still struggled to be at the forefront of the development of China's automotive industry.

In July 1987, 74-year-old Rao Bing returned to FAW to participate in the 30th anniversary of the liberation of trucks, and he said the following in tears at the meeting:

"I'm too old to join you in starting a third business. However, I am willing to lie on the ground, turn it into a bridge, let everyone walk on my body, and work together to build a car, to realize the car dream of several generations of Chinese car people!"

The heart of a child, the world can be revealed, for such an old-timer, Han Hao can't help but have respect, especially Mr. Rao died of illness on a business trip to Hujiang City more than ten days after he said this.

He has dedicated his life to China's automobile industry and laid a solid foundation for the development of China's automobile industry, so everyone respectfully calls Mr. Rao Bing the father of China's automobile.

Looking at the bronze statue of Mr. Rao Bing with his hands behind his back and strolling leisurely, Han Hao led everyone to bow deeply 90 degrees to thank him for his contribution to China's automotive industry.

"The Chinese's car dream, I will definitely realize it for you!"

In front of the bronze statue of the father of China's automobile, Han Hao secretly made his own promise.

According to the address given by Li Guoan, Han Hao went to the door to find Lu Wenyan, one of the designers of the Hongqi car that year. As the first section chief of the body design department of FAW, 75-year-old Mr. Lu Wenyan has been retired for many years, but he still has a certain influence in FAW.

Li Guoan specially called to inform a little friend that he was coming to visit, so Lu Wenyan warmly entertained Han Hao and his party at home.

Looking at the simple interior layout, the shelves on the wall are full of books, many of which are foreign books about automobiles, which shows Lu Wenyan's love for the automotive industry.

After a brief greeting, Han Hao bluntly said that he wanted to make micro noodles, but now he was short of manpower, and hoped that Mr. Lu could help recommend talents. Whether you are in the job or retired, it is acceptable.

"I read in the newspaper that the economic development in the south is booming, and now I see you seeking talents like this, I know why you have succeeded. But you used to be involved in motorcycles, and now you want to enter the automotive field, and your future is uncertain! If it's a big hole, I'm a thankless recommender. ”

Lu Wenyan deliberately tested Han Hao to see how determined he was in the automotive industry.

"Mr. Lu, I just went to visit Rao Bing's seniors before I came, and he once said that he hoped that China's later autobots would be able to get cars out. Now I'm engaged in micro-faces, just to enter the field of cars in the future. According to the theory of comparative analysis, who can guarantee that China's automobile industry will not be headed by private enterprises in the future? And I am the first person to eat crabs in private enterprises, and I have prepared 200 million yuan for tuition fees. In case it doesn't work, make a negative teaching material for future generations. But if I succeed, I will be a catfish in the domestic automotive industry and stimulate the vitality of the entire domestic automobile market. I have the production qualifications, funds, venues, and technology, and now I am waiting for the talents to come to the pot. ”

Han Hao paused, took a sip of water and continued.

"In the future, our car will be called Zhonghua, and we will create a new national car, isn't this a very exciting thing? Hongqi car has been sealed, but there are still our Zhonghua cars to take over the inheritance, isn't this a good thing to pass on the torch? And in the future, when FAW re-launches the Hongqi brand, these talents you provide to me can accumulate enough development experience and then come back to carry the banner of Hongqi, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

In order to get talents, Han Hao also spit lotus flowers in his mouth, no matter what happens to him in the future, he has to invite people back to Hushan first.

"Haha, if Li Guoan hadn't called to vouch for it, and I had seen the advertisement of your Huaxia motorcycle on CCTV, I would have almost kicked you out as a liar. But what you said is quite reasonable, the Hongqi car was dismounted in such a hurry, which is really a chilling thing for those of us. I have always been resolutely opposed to the red flag that was finally erected, and I have always been resolutely opposed to such a decision. Just think of it as reserving a little bit of fire for the future red flag, you are so busy, I have to sell face, to see if they are willing to go to the south to get a car. ”

Hongqi sedan was dismounted in 1981, and it has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of the old FAW people. There are two authoritative reasons why the Hongqi sedan was called off the horse:

First, due to the low reliability of Hongqi cars, they often break down, so that senior cadres do not like to sit. When greeting foreign guests, there were also cases of breakdown and brake failure halfway, which had a bad international impact.

The second reason is that Hongqi was far behind the times at that time, and compared with foreign imported cars with strong power and trendy appearance, Hongqi looked old and unbearable. Moreover, at that time, Hongqi only allowed high-ranking cadres to ride, but middle-level cadres got on imported cars early. Therefore, due to the imbalance of political factors, the red flag could not wait for upgrading and improvement, and it was dismounted because of the concept that some high-ranking cadres wanted to take high-class cars.

In short, the official reason for Hongqi's disappearance was that "due to high fuel consumption", after Hongqi stopped production, imported cars represented by the Toyota Crown frantically poured into China and became the car of cadres.

From 1982 to 1986, a total of 173,400 cars were imported, more than double the import of the previous 32 years (73,800 cars were imported from 1950 to 1981), of which 106,000 cars were imported through formal channels in 1985, spending a total of 2.95 billion US dollars.

However, according to incomplete statistics, in 1985, there were actually 354,000 cars smuggled into China by regular imports, of which Toyota accounted for one-third. This figure surpassed the total production of China's own automobiles (including cars, trucks, buses, etc.), and the country's auto industry is in jeopardy due to dumping by foreign giants.

The foreign exchange consumed by importing cars in recent years alone is equivalent to twice the total investment of China's automobile industry for more than 30 years, and it has almost emptied China's foreign exchange reserves, which have long been limited, causing China's economy to enter an era of contraction.

Since 1987, in recognition of the serious problem, the central government has issued a dead order not to allow the import of cars from Japan, Japan and other countries, and put the development of domestically produced joint venture cars on the agenda.

Hongqi cars are trapped at home and abroad, being stifled alive, if so much foreign exchange is used to improve Hongqi technology, and the sales of imported cars are replaced by Hongqi cars, then Hongqi can at least survive. The shock death of the Hongqi sedan is a tragedy of the times.

However, it is said that at the end of 1995, FAW will reactivate the Hongqi brand and reintroduce the Audi 100 to the market as a Hongqi sedan, which is different from the previous courtesy car "Big Hongqi", commonly known as "Little Hongqi".

When the "Little Red Flag" was reactivated, two views also broke out within FAW in a fierce collision. One believes that borrowing the technology of foreign giants, as long as the shell of the red flag is put on, it is still a representative of China's famous cars. The other believes that it should be re-developed positively, and although it is convenient and fast, it is not a long-term solution. In the end, under the urgency of revitalizing Hongqi, the first point of view was recognized by the factory leadership, and the key technologies were all from the Audi 100 "Little Red Flag" is being developed, which is different from the Audi 100 only a shell on the outside.

The representative of the second point of view, Ling Yunzhi, deputy director and deputy chief engineer of FAW Car, stood in front of Han Hao. The 55-year-old Ling Yunzhi has messy hair, but his eyes are sharp, and he is tall and easy to give people a sense of oppression.

"I heard that Lu Lao said that you are going to make a car? and you also got the 'Zhonghua' brand?"

With a vigilant and suspicious expression, Ling Yunzhi asked.

"Yes, we are ready to enter the automotive industry, and now we are ready to engage in micro-faces, after all, the car catalog is difficult to break through for a while, and the car project will be launched in less than three years. Now I urgently need technical talents like you to help pick the girder, and in the future to be our own national car for Chinese! The opportunity for the development of the times has been reached, and China will soon enter the automobile society, so we must seize the opportunity and take advantage of the good time to carry forward China's national car!"

For a talent like Ling Yunzhi, it is useless to talk about money and treatment, so he can only try to advance the situation as much as possible and raise the hope of realizing his self-worth, Han Hao grasped this point and said. At the same time, he also briefly introduced the current situation of Huaxia plant and his ideas for entering the automobile industry in the future.

From the initial skepticism to the constant nodding, Ling Yunzhi saw that Han Hao was not a hot-headed local boss, but an entrepreneur who had a certain understanding of the automotive industry, but was not confined to reality and could flexibly deal with policy risks.

"Director Ling, you will work until you retire at FAW, and at most you can only work for the Germans, but if you come to me, you will work for us Chinese ourselves! In the future, we will do it, and you will be indispensable in the history books for the feat of abandoning your pen and following Rong." If we fail, we can also leave valuable lessons for those who come after us. The opportunity for the development of our national independent brand is fleeting, as a son and daughter of China, don't you want to make a 'Chinese' car!"

To give up everything now and go to Zhehai Province to toss with Han Hao, in the eyes of the peers of the regular army of automobiles, it is simply a way to kill yourself. But Ling Yunzhi felt Han Hao's heartfelt expectations for the automotive industry, and the young boss in front of him was a person who wanted to do practical things and big things.

Under the contact of Mr. Lu, Han Hao privately met with several active or retired FAW backbones, and tried his best to persuade them to go to Jiangnan with him to fight the world.

Everything that should be said has been said, and the conditions that should be promised have also been promised, what is the effect, Han Hao can only hope that God will help.
