Liu Lang came to Shanghai this time to have other tasks, that is, to go to the public company to inspect and understand the localization of parts, Huaxia University Xiong Huaizhi led five graduate students to come by train.

Volkswagen Group has been stationed in Shanghai in 80 years, 82 years to assemble the first assembly line, but all parts are imported from abroad, in China is only assembly, the first Volkswagen car in early 83 years in the country was successfully assembled, this car is assembled by the Chinese themselves, just like building blocks, but even this pile of "building blocks" dozens of old technicians also took a lot of effort to piece together, which shows that the technical difference between the two sides is not a little bit and a half.

Later, the state proposed to cooperate with Volkswagen to form a joint venture between the two sides, as a condition is to localize Volkswagen, which is a mandatory provision, and it is necessary to achieve more than 80 percent of the localization of parts and components in order to carry out large-scale production, if it is only to import original cars, then only 2,000 vehicles can be sold every year.

Volkswagen started the localization process in 83 years, but the process is not very smooth, all the manufacturing plants in Shanghai have joined, but the parts of the people are too advanced, and the requirements of the Germans are also very demanding, all the details must be required in accordance with the German standards, such as the material of the parts must reach the strength of the people, not a little less, this kind of standardization requirements make Chinese enterprises very uncomfortable, in the eyes of the Chinese people, as long as the strength standards meet the requirements? Why is it a waste of more expensive materials?

The two sides had contradictions on many issues, and at the beginning they were very unhappy, and even the Shanghai municipal government came out to persuade the Volkswagen plant to make changes that were "in line with China's national conditions", but in terms of quality, the Germans did not have any compromises, and they would rather delay the project without an early delay, rather than allow changes in the quality of parts.

The matter was not resolved for more than a year until Bai Weiren became the mayor of Shanghai, and he was personally in charge of Volkswagen's problems after taking office, and finally made a decision that it must be manufactured in strict accordance with German standards, which made this matter settled.

Things are not over, after setting the standard, then prepare to start work, this involves technology, none of the manufacturing plants in Shanghai can manufacture other people's parts, can not do a piece.

Shanghai made an estimate, with 80 percent as the standard for localization, if the Shanghai market to this standard for development, within ten years can not be realized, so Bai Weiren once again made a decision, Volkswagen's localization should be oriented to the whole country, so that the whole country's manufacturing plants all joined, no longer pursue Shanghai's own interests.

Through these two things, it can be seen that Bai Weiren is indeed a politician with great ambitions, attaches importance to the quality of products, and has an extraordinary overall view.

This decision undoubtedly led to the development of the national manufacturing industry, and many manufacturers were invited to visit the Volkswagen factory and get the drawings provided by the other party.

Drawings in hand, those factories outside Shanghai are also dumbfounded, like the local manufacturing plants in Shanghai, if in strict accordance with the standards of the Germans, there are few that can be built, at best some antennas can be made, yes, it is the antenna, a few aluminum plates rolled up the antenna, but even this antenna needs to upgrade the country's existing machine tools to meet the standards.

If you want to achieve 80% localization, then the manufacturer must completely upgrade its machine tools, which is no less than the construction of another set of production lines.

If you spend money to upgrade, of course, the country will not be stingy, but the key is that no one knows how to improve, some old workers have also done some experiments, and found that if the original machine tool is transformed, it will take at least seven or eight years to be possible.

Of course, you can also directly import advanced machine tools from abroad, but firstly, the price is not cheap, and secondly, these machine tools are basically the technology that the other party prohibits from exporting, and if you want to introduce it, you need communication between countries and countries, this process is very troublesome, and it will involve many departments such as diplomacy.

At that time, the national plan was for the country to carry out technological upgrading and transformation by itself, but this method did not get a positive response from enterprises, the reason is very simple, it took seven or eight years to spend millions of dollars on transformation, and the output was not too much after the transformation was completed, and the production of other products was delayed, which was really a way that outweighed the losses, so many companies threw aside after getting the drawings provided by Volkswagen and ignored them.

In Liu Lang's previous life, the first Volkswagen Santana that fully met the localization standard appeared in ninety-two years, seven years after the current eighty-five years, the country took seven years to achieve the localization of imported cars, even if these parts are very simple, but for the country is a difficult process, but also a process of self-improvement, but seven years is too long, if it is engine technology, it takes seven years to completely figure it out, Liu Lang can laugh out loud in his dreams, but this is not an engine, all of them are some"Insignificant" edge technology, of course, does not mean that these technologies are not important, if you want to develop an engine, these technologies are the foundation, and they must be fully mastered, but the time is too long, Liu Lang feels that the country can use two or three years to make these parts.

How to make these parts in two or three years? Then it is necessary to introduce foreign machine tools as soon as possible, and then carry out technical restoration according to the model of AOD stainless steel smelting furnace, and figure out all the technologies involved in the other party's machine tools.

Now the country is negotiating with West Germany, hoping to buy a batch of machine tools from Andrews company, Andrews is also very active, so the results of the negotiations are very optimistic, as long as a batch of machine tools can be introduced, even if this machine tool is not the most advanced in West Germany, but only more advanced than domestic machine tools, Liu Lang is confident that it will be restored in the shortest possible time.

This method can be regarded as a kind of "plagiarism", but Liu Lang does not have any psychological burden, this is an era of rapid development, any industry must speed up, can not follow the rules and follow the rules, all ways to obtain new technologies, whether he is illegal or not, must try, in the face of national interests, there is nothing legal or illegal, you are legal, in the end did not get the technology, the result is still your country suffers, foreign countries will not reward you for "abiding by the law".

Once the country has mastered the most advanced technology and come up with machinery that others cannot have, those who have ridiculed you in the past will immediately come to flatter you, and the competition between countries is still hard power after all, and no one can change this.
