Even though Zhonghua Group has accumulated some ECU in gasoline engines, it is a blank in the completely different diesel engine field, and the independent research and development process of high-pressure common rail technology must start from scratch.

High-pressure common rail technology is a high-tech technology to rescue diesel engines, which refers to a fuel supply method that completely separates the generation of injection pressure and the injection process from each other in a closed-loop system composed of high-pressure oil pump, pressure sensor and ECU (electronic control unit). Its birth completely subverts the disadvantages of traditional diesel engines with high noise and serious emission pollution, making diesel engines a competitor that can compete with gasoline engines.

In European countries, cars equipped with diesel engines can account for more than 30% of the market, and trucks and buses are more than 90% of diesel engines, which shows the historic innovation breakthrough brought by high-pressure common rail technology.

In reality, as the brain of the diesel engine, all the parts of the domestic high-pressure common rail are imported, and no Chinese company has overcome this new technology that began to be applied in 1997.

Yangling Diesel Engine Factory is the only diesel engine manufacturer under Zhonghua Group, which was acquired by the acquisition of Yaxing Bus. However, the company's products are backward, and the production is still the old products introduced by the previous country more than ten years ago, and the sewing and repairing are installed on the Yaxing bus.

After the acquisition of Yaxing Bus, as a strategic choice, Zhonghua Group and AVL had the intention of cooperating to develop a new generation of diesel engines, but the negotiation of this project has not yet progressed.

Under the current circumstances, Zhonghua Group's diesel engine supply mainly comes from two independent manufacturers, Weichai and Yuchai, and its own Yangling diesel engine factory can provide a small number of low-end products. As for FAW's Xichai and Dongfeng's Cummins engines, they will not be sold to the outside world, but only for their own products.

Since the joint venture with Cummins is invalid, Zhonghua Group can only rely on its own strength to make up for the shortcomings of diesel engines.

Independent research and development of a new technology requires a large investment in talents and funds, as well as a good platform.

In the China Automotive Research Institute, the platform has been built under the guidance of Zhao Quanfu, forming a research and development atmosphere that integrates Chinese and Western styles. As for funds, as the richest man in the country, Han Hao will maintain more than 10% of the company's R&D investment in total revenue every year, ranking among the best in domestic counterparts.

Now the breakthrough of diesel engine high-pressure common rail technology, the only thing that Zhonghua Group lacks is talent.

Where does the talent come from, of course, it is recruited at home and abroad.

At present, China is still in the period of talent dividend, and the price of human capital of domestic engineers is underestimated, and the cost of 1 returnee engineer is enough to offset the cost of 5-10 local engineers in China.

The crowd tactic, which is used in China today, is actually a very appropriate strategy. As the saying goes, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang. Under the effective integration of a large group of local engineers, the creativity that erupted was no worse than that of foreign engineers.

In the China Automotive Research Institute, benefiting from the improvement of the platform construction, many local engineers have begun to emerge. After graduating from university, they came in to study with foreigners for a period of time, and gradually gained their own experience and opinions, and started a journey on their own.

When building a diesel engine R&D team, domestic engineers with relevant experience have become the talents that Zhonghua Group desperately hopes to acquire. They are either distributed in the R&D institutions of traditional OEMs such as FAW and Dongfeng, or in the scientific research groups of independent diesel engine companies such as Weichai and Yuchai.

Overnight, the value of these talents doubled, as the Zhonghua Group offered high prices for vacancies.

As long as you are willing to come, the salary is at least doubled, 1 times is just a conscience price, and you are embarrassed to meet people without 3 times the income.

At this time, private enterprises with flexible mechanisms should have the upper hand in the competition with state-owned enterprises with rigid mechanisms.

The reform of state-owned enterprises has been shouted for many years, but in terms of the salary system, the salary of the management has been greatly increased, and the distance from ordinary workers has been widened. However, in terms of the importance of technical talents, it is far from enough, and the salary increase of technical talents is far less than their contribution. What's more, there is a big pot of rice salary system within state-owned enterprises, and a person's salary increase will cause a strong reaction from the people around him, and it is difficult for technical personnel to want a salary that meets the market value.

It is different in private enterprises, and the new wage and remuneration system can be implemented immediately after the boss speaks. Han Hao said that he would give the diesel engine R&D team a high salary, and the corresponding positions and wages would be set up the next day, waiting for the arrival of new people.

In recent years, China Automotive Research Institute has proved with practical examples that it is one of the top three domestic automobile enterprise research institutions. Even, considering the platform and personal growth, many people recognize that China Automotive Research Institute is the No. 1 employment treasure in China.

In Yuchai, you can get a salary of more than 2,000 yuan a month, but if you jump to Zhonghua Group, you can become a 10,000 yuan household, and you can also have a suitable development platform.

After graduating from university, Ma Chaoming, who was assigned to work in Yuchai for 5 years, was ready to move after learning the news of Zhonghua Group's recruitment. It's not that Yuchai is bad, but the days that are too stable are gradually wearing down Ma Chaoming's sharpness, and when he learned that the other party was ready to overcome the high-pressure common rail technology that no one in China had mastered, he wanted to join the team and meet the challenges to contribute.

In Yuchai's R&D department, he once led people to study high-pressure common rail technology, but there was no platform for actual combat drills, after all, factories directly purchased foreign products. Now the opportunity has come and he can't refuse to try.

Another condition that makes him excited is that if talents are introduced, the Jiangzhou municipal government will give preferential treatment in terms of household registration, children's education and housing loans, so as to facilitate his integration into the life of Jiangzhou as soon as possible.

Yuchai is located in a fourth-tier city on the border of southern Xinjiang, which is too far away from China's economic center and is also half a day's journey from the nearest Pearl River Delta Economic Belt.

In the face of the recruitment order issued by the Huangpu Military Academy, which is known as the domestic automotive research institute, countless Ma Chaoming were moved, and they submitted their resumes one after another, looking forward to achieving a new round of career improvement.

With the further consolidation of the market economy, the free flow of talents and the rational allocation of human resources have become inevitable, which is the role of the market in playing an invisible hand.

However, there is also an invisible hand dancing at the same time, which plays a role that cannot be ignored.

Here, we would like to praise the Jiangzhou Municipal Government, when the automobile industry is regarded as the pillar of the economy, it will vigorously coordinate and solve various relationships, and create a very good environment for the development of Zhonghua Group. At the same time, it is also striving to build an automobile industry cluster to attract more automobile-related industries to settle in Jiangzhou, and also take automobiles as a top priority in attracting investment.

The rapid development of Jiangzhou's economy and the substantial increase in tax revenue every year are inseparable from the efforts of the Jiangzhou Municipal Government in addition to the contribution of Zhonghua Group. They are using the hands of the government to cooperate with the market to allocate various resources, so as to realize the late-mover advantage dividend of Jiangzhou's automobile industry.

The late-mover advantage is that the latecomers can refer to the experience of the pioneers, take many detours, and develop in the form of copying homework, so as to achieve the goal of leapfrogging and catching up.

Even if it is now investing in the research and development of engines and transmissions on a large scale, it is also a targeted learning from the existing successful experience of foreign car companies, which is a free-riding behavior with a late-mover advantage.

The rapid development of China's economy as a whole can also be proved by the experience of Jiangzhou.

The Chinese government has taken advantage of its late-mover advantage to provide policy support for specific industries and use national strength in a unified manner to achieve a catch-up strategy.

The home appliance industry began to repel Japanese and Korean brands, and the communications industry gradually went abroad, and even the automobile industry, which was most worried about collapse when joining TO, also had its own brand led by Zhonghua Group burst out with new vitality and occupied a certain share in the market.

After joining the TO, the market mechanism began to play an unprecedented role in the land of China, resulting in China becoming the world's factory. At the same time, China's powerful government is also silently escorting many competitive and promising domestic independent industries with an invisible hand.

Returning to the well-known automobile industry, when it was determined that automobiles had become the pillar of the national economy, the state imposed many conditions on import tariffs and trade quotas to prevent foreign automobiles from pouring into China, creating a good external environment for domestic automobiles.

At the same time, the state has also carried out automotive professional courses in the field of basic research and colleges and universities, and has cultivated a large number of talents for the automotive industry. In terms of financial support, the state has continuously given loans to major automobile companies, and improved the competitiveness of its own brands through certain tax policies.

Relying on the two hands of the market and the government, China's auto industry has finally ushered in a new spring of development.

Ma Chaoming did not come to Jiangzhou alone to report, he was followed by a whole team, all of whom were the elite of Yuchai's R&D personnel.

The salary will be increased by 3 to 5 times, and the school and housing will be coordinated and arranged by the Jiangzhou government at one time, and you can also work in the best automobile research institute in China. Except for a few people who adhere to the feelings and beliefs of the enterprise, no one can resist the recruitment order issued by the China Group.

In the face of the Zhonghua Group's grandiose poaching, Yuchai certainly would not agree, and they withheld the resignation letter and did not agree to the resignation of Ma Chaoming and others.

submitted a letter of resignation, regardless of the files and social security relations withheld by Yuchai, Ma Chaoming led his team of 3 people to join Zhonghua Group.

The diesel engine R&D team formed this time, a considerable number of them are like Ma Chaoming, and the original unit joined the Zhonghua Group before approving the resignation, which caused many legal disputes. To this end, Han Hao specially set up a legal team to deal with the lawyer's letter from his old employer.

All of a sudden, the Chunghwa Group's robbery caused huge repercussions in the automobile industry, especially Yuchai wanted to confront the Chung Hwa Group in court, saying that it had stolen their intellectual property rights, and claimed that the other party's diesel engine supply was suspended before the matter was properly resolved.

The shortage of diesel engines is the weakness of the current Zhonghua Group, and Yuchai's move can be said to be above Han Hao's seven inches.

The Zhonghua Group poached people too ruthlessly, and many people in Weichai were poached with high salaries, and some people called for the establishment of an industrial alliance to stop the supply to sanction Han Hao's poaching behavior.

FAW and Dongfeng have joined forces to suppress the Zhonghua Group, and now Yuchai and Weichai, the two independent diesel engine factories, are dissatisfied with the Zhonghua Group, and the external situation is suddenly very unfavorable to the new commercial vehicle department of the Zhonghua Group.

It was FAW that intercepted Cummins, which led to various later matters, which led to a great chaos in the domestic diesel engine industry. The initiator, FAW boss Zhu Tianfeng, was watching from the sidelines to see how Han Hao would deal with such a complex and difficult situation.
