A few days later, the Haizhou Automobile Project Base Promotion Team led by Mayor Bo Dongfeng came to Hushan. After the www.biquge.info Huaxia Factory decided to continue the car-making journey, Haizhou officials gave great support to this almost interrupted project, whether they made a good gesture or made a special trip to cheer up.

When I came to the site of Huaxia Automobile, I saw that a large area of land had been leveled, and the pile foundation project had begun in an orderly manner, and the workers were working in full swing.

When the officials of Haizhou City saw this scene, they secretly said in their hearts that it seemed that Huaxia Factory's statement that it would continue to build cars was not empty words, and everything in front of them had proved their determination.

"Since the ancient Huashan road, we have followed you up the mountain, and it will be difficult to go down the mountain in the future!

Mayor Bo Dongfeng said with a smile to Han Hao, who was following behind.

Seeing this situation, after Han Hao finished visiting the construction site, he returned to the headquarters of the Huaxia factory with a group of officials and came to a warehouse that had been idle before. I saw that it was filled with various brands and models currently circulating on the market. As far as the eye can see, Chang'an, Changhe, Wuling, Songhuajiang and other brands are readily available, these cars have been unloaded, and some technicians in blue overalls are holding vernier calipers to compare various data one by one.

"We are now learning from the strengths of our opponents, and in the future we will combine their strengths to create a national car that suits our national conditions. I believe that in a year, when you come back to visit, we will come up with our own products for you to test drive. ”

Han Hao confidently said to the majority of Haizhou officials.

"What kind of high-tech weapon is this?"

Bo Dongfeng asked, fiddling with a device with a red light.

"Scanning data is a kind of instrument that collects data, and it is not high-tech. ”

His face was a little hot, and Han Hao was embarrassed to say that this instrument was just to completely copy the size of other people's auto parts. He can't say in public that we're copying someone else's vehicle data and using it directly for his own brand.

"Oh, not bad. ”

It is estimated that Bo Dongfeng can't figure out the use of this thing, anyway, the scene is over.

If you want to enter a completely new field, the most important prerequisite is to understand the competitors you are going to face. Especially now that there is no external help, he can only start from imitation again, and Han Hao is ready to repeat the successful experience of motorcycles. However, because automobiles have more parts and core technologies are more complex, it is impossible to get started as easily as motorcycles.

Huaxia Factory acquired Huayang Automobile Factory in Anhuai Province, although it basically did not obtain the core technology, but at least it had experience in producing micro-surface vehicles, so after losing Mitsubishi technology, Huaxia Plant still got some automobile manufacturing technology. However, these are only in the manufacturing process, and there is a blank space when it comes to the core technology of the car.

Therefore, it is not right to say that Huaxia Factory started from 0 completely, but it is appropriate to start from 0.01.

After sending off the officials who came to visit, Han Hao's pressure in his heart was not as easy as you showed. Like motorcycles, the biggest challenge in building a car is the engine and gearbox. Automobile engines are not as simple as motorcycles, requiring more cutting-edge technology and precision instrument manufacturing, according to the current level of Huaxia factory to develop a car engine from scratch is a fantasy.

After dismantling the micro-surfaces on the market, it is learned that the micro-surfaces produced by Chang'an, Changhe and Songhuajiang are completely consistent on the chassis, and even the engine and gearbox are only marked with different models but the basic structure is the same, all of which are provided by AVIC Dongan Engine Company. This is because the Suzuki ST90 series vehicle project was introduced by AVIC and digested by the subsidiary, Changhe, and Songhuajiang.

If you can purchase the engine and gearbox from Dong'an Company, and then find a chassis manufacturer to help OEM the ST90 series chassis, then the three major parts of the car will constitute the most critical part. As for the car shell and other parts, you can organize the production by yourself, and you can build a complete micro-surface car like a stacked brick.

When talking with Ling Yunzhi, as an expert in the automotive industry, he preliminarily agreed with the idea proposed by Han Hao, after all, this is based on the failure of the cooperation with Mitsubishi. Although the long-term vision must be mastered in the future, the integration of available resources in the current situation of the car landing as soon as possible is a good way to take shortcuts.

But there is also a key question as to whether Dongan is willing to sell the engine and gearbox to Huaxia, which may have added a competitor to them out of thin air.

"You don't know the management system of AVIC, although Dong'an is under the same head office as Chang'an, Changhe, Songhuajiang, etc. However, since this company is a national transfer of a similar joint venture nature, the subsidiaries still have a strong independence from each other. As far as I know, Dongan's production capacity has not been satisfied, and the production line is not at full capacity. In addition, I learned through my old classmates in Dong'an that if the price we give is right, they will be happy to have more customers of our Huaxia factory at least in the near future. Of course, the supply to us must be ranked second to Chang'an, Changhe, Songhuajiang and other state-owned automobile enterprises, and the amount is limited. In fact, the Huayang Automobile Plant we acquired had regularly purchased engines from Dongan before. ”

Knowing that Han Hao decided to continue to promote the automobile project, Ling Yunzhi also did all kinds of intelligence work early in the morning.

The strategic direction is determined, then we have to continue to promote the supporting work along the established direction, and now the funds and land are in place, and the most critical thing is still talent.

Even if Ling Yunzhi brought a group of people out from FAW, just the 16 people who came out of FAW wanted to build a decent car is an attic in the sky, so they still need to poach corners in various places.

In Yanshi City, Northern Hubei Province, a group of people came down from the green train, and they were Han Hao and others who came from afar. Han Hao had been thinking about preparing to poach people from the second automobile, but he didn't expect the province to send a working group to investigate, and then a series of things happened and delayed, and now the automobile project is on the verge of a shortage of people and has to set off again.

Second Automobile, also known as Dongfeng Motor, is the second largest automobile manufacturer in China, relying on the technical advantages of Dongfeng trucks, digesting the engine technology introduced by Cummins in the United States, forming a huge scale of 118 joint ventures in 21 provinces and cities across the country. At present, Jiangzhou Automobile Factory, the only automobile factory in Zhejiang Province, is mainly engaged in medium-sized truck series, which is a subsidiary of the Second Automobile. As one of the "three big" automobile companies in China, after SAIC, FAW and Volkswagen respectively obtained the qualification for car production through joint ventures, FAW was of course unwilling to find a partner from France - Citroen.

After SAIC obtained the first car production base approved by the state, FAW and FAW, as the eldest sons of the republic, were red-eyed. The production of trucks is only for primary school students, and the production of cars is for college students, and those in the automotive industry who do not know that car technology is higher and more profitable. In the mid-80s, China faced a frenzy of imported cars, and overnight the country's foreign exchange was almost depleted by cars. Therefore, the development of cars has become an important thesis of the national decision-making level. SAIC's production capacity alone cannot meet the domestic market that has been waiting for calls after the implementation of reform and opening up. Therefore, the construction of a car production base will be put on the high-level desktop, because the country's financial resources are limited can only choose a company for key investment, so FAW, the second automobile are full of efforts to the state for the car project to settle down.

Although the second automobile is in the context of the FAW turnkey project to help the establishment, due to the overlap of market competition, the two companies have not been less fighting. It can be seen from the tireless efforts of the second automobile to change the name of the factory to Dongfeng Motor, on the one hand, the FAW overwhelms the second automobile, and on the other hand, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and the two companies will compete for the first place from the name.

In 87, a demonstration meeting was held, attended by more than 20 ministerial-level cadres, and the strategic goal of the development of China's automobile industry was initially formed, and the car was ready to be the top priority. At the same time, at the meeting, on-site scoring and voting was conducted on whether the FAW or the second automobile should launch the car project, and both parties stated their own car development strategies.

FAW proposed to implement rolling development on the basis of the original Hongqi car, starting from the middle and high-end cars, blocking imported cars, and building in stages, with an initial 30,000 units and eventually a scale of 300,000 vehicles. The second automobile caters to the long-term goal of the high-level to create foreign exchange expectations for the country's export of automobiles, and proposes to build an export-oriented production scale of 300,000 automobiles at one time.

In the expert vote, opinions in favor of FAW's development strategy accounted for the overwhelming majority, and FAW's plan was considered to be too ambitious and failed. Originally, with the strength of the truck field, the second automobile was about to surpass FAW to become the leader of China's automobile market, but I did not expect to lose the key game, which is really an old hatred and a new hatred.

Later, the second automobile once again publicized the high-level management, or got the car production base license, but it has lagged far behind the pace of FAW. When the second automobile was preparing to produce sedans, Volkswagen, which had already eaten two major sedan production bases in China, could not bear the loneliness and was ready to use another sub-brand, Skoda, to buy the Chinese auto market. This time, the far-sighted Chinese will certainly not agree to Volkswagen's complete domination of China's sedan market, and will not be moved by Volkswagen's unimaginable conditions, determined to introduce new powerful competitors.

Among the selected partners, Citroën was selected for its low-interest loan of 2.3 billion francs from the government and its commitment to provide the latest ZX model. The joint venture between Dongfeng and Citroen is called Dongfeng Citroen Automobile, and the joint venture car put into production is the Fukang car, which is now shining in the Chinese auto market.

Due to the production of the Fukang car, it led to the frustration of another group of people in the second automobile, and this time Han Hao came to look for this group of frustrated people with Ling Yunzhi.
