Chapter 242 Kicks Off

Although today's Huaxia can produce tractor parts and truck parts, it does not have the ability to produce car parts.

Yangcheng Peugeot Automobile Company, the car produced, even a screw had to be shipped from France.

Santana's production is also in this way, they are a little better than Peugeot in that the least tires and radios are purchased from China.

Other than that, no ......

A car, in terms of modularity, has thousands of parts, and if you break it down carefully, there are tens of thousands of parts.

However, only tires and radios can be localized, and it is also known as 2.7 percent localization.

Why do Peugeot have to ship screws from France? It's not that they have to make money for screws, but that domestic screws are either not strong enough or cost more expensive than imports.

In 85 years, the basic industry was so pitiful.

Therefore, Jonas said that he wanted to build a joint venture parts factory in Huaxia directly, and wanted to localize all of them, which is not only an investment, but also an overall improvement of the basic industry.

The reason why the automobile industry is important is because the entire production of automobiles includes almost all basic industrial projects.

Electronics, wires, batteries, anti-rust process, die-casting process, cutting process, material process, machining, paint chemical industry, plastic process, textile technology, leather technology, refining and chemical industry, etc......

Jonas is willing to invest directly in parts factories, which can be said to promote China's industrial development more than investing in 10 automobile assembly plants.

The person from Huaxia couldn't believe his ears, but when he saw the expression of his companion, he didn't hear it wrong.

At this point, they simply didn't know what to make of Jonas' position.

Director Feng took a deep breath and asked, "Can you make sure that what you say can be done?"

"As long as you don't leak it out, I'm eighty percent sure that some less sensitive technologies will be brought to China, and the Austrian side needs to find a way out for their country's automobile industry, and their attitude is very ambiguous. ”

Director Feng looked at the dozen or so people who came with him at this time and said, "Everyone must keep today's events strictly confidential, and even their own relatives can't talk nonsense until the plan is not successful." ”

Everyone nodded, and then he said: "I now understand why you want to communicate with us in Chinese, you are a good friend of the Chinese people." ”

Jonas smiled: "The past few years have been the honeymoon period between China and the West, and the blockade of non-sensitive technologies is actually not so strict. However, most people are not optimistic about the development of Huaxia, so they are still a little hesitant to invest.

Unlike me, I am very optimistic about the future of China, and I want to actively participate in China's economy from the beginning, and then develop together.

In business, I am not so noble, but one thing to believe, I am full of good feelings for Huaxia. ”

Director Feng asked again: "Then how should the next negotiations be conducted, and if the details are negotiated, will others leak your intentions?"

"What are you afraid of? We're talking about investment in motorcycle factories and truck factories. The investment in cars will be discussed after we have a complete brand and system in our hands. ”

Director Feng asked, "What about the production of trucks and motorcycles and accessories?"

Jonas smiled: "Of course, we will join the negotiation project directly." ”

When Jonas said this, everyone understood Jonas's sincerity, and if he even had to keep a hand in the production of truck accessories, it would only prove that Jonas was a mouth cannon.

Now, let's talk about the production of accessories directly, and Jonas has invested the funds in Huaxia, and at that time, he didn't dare to go back.

In this era, they can be fooled by foreign capitalists.

Because of the good start, the negotiations went very smoothly.

Jonas also took them in a special bus and took them around Austria.

On the one hand, it is considered a tourist benefit, and on the other hand, let them see the Austrian factories with their own eyes.

However, Jonas knew that he could not touch the face of the German manufacturers, and this time he mainly asked them to visit the Steyr factory, and mainly to visit the truck factory and supporting manufacturers.

Most of the factories in Austria do not have the ability to build factories abroad, let alone go to China.

But now that Hoffman Investment Bank is willing to invest, they just invest in technology, so they don't have to worry.

They had previously transferred the full set of Steyr light and medium-duty truck technology, and they had a lot of connections with the Huaxia Automobile Factory.

In this way, I was quite satisfied with this visit.

Now, it's up to Hoffmann to take a stake in Steyr and those parts factories.

Leaving Austria, part of the delegation returned home, and the other went with Osberg to Pisa.

During the time Jonas was on vacation, Ursula had already reached numerous agreements with Piaggio on the details of the joint venture, and there were no obstacles for the two companies to work together to build a factory in China.

At the end of June, Jonas and Giovanne borrowed Janey's Airbus A310 plane, carrying two Lancias and more than three tons of various materials, took off from Turin and transited through the United Arab Emirates to the capital.

In Abu Dhabi, they were warmly welcomed by Zayed and enjoyed a desert-style roasted camel meal before remaining for two days before setting off again.

The accompanying Huaxia personnel had a new understanding of the social circle of Jonas and Giovanne.

Upon arrival in the capital, Jonas and Giovanne were warmly welcomed, and they began to sprinkle gold along the way.

Three tons of materials were transported to the Chinese College of Foreign Universities in Beijing, where their Italian students will be led by translators from the First Machinery Department and the Automobile Industry Corporation.

Jonas and Giovanne only stayed in the capital for three days, met with leaders from all sides, and then took a special plane and arrived at Laohekou Airport in the northwest of Hubei Province.

It is a small dual-use airport, but it is the closest to the second automobile.

When they arrived in Shiyan, Jonas and Giovanne didn't feel anything, but the Fiat and Austrian officials who accompanied them, as well as the representatives of the company, were shocked.

The industrial development of Huaxia is still very rudimentary, only at the level of a few decades ago, but when have they ever seen it, a city is the scale of a factory!

With nearly 100,000 employees, including their families, they form a city with a population of more than 300,000.

Jonas: They held week-long consultations with the relevant personnel of the Second Automobile and the government officials of Hubei Province.

Finally, it was preliminarily determined that Hoffmann Automobile Company will cooperate with the Second Automobile and Hubei Province to build an automobile industrial park in the ancient city not far from the Second Automobile.

The location of the second automobile is a little remote, but the ancient city is different, there is Hanshui, there is an airport, and one of the seven major train marshalling stations in the country is a cargo transit center, which is one of the seven major railway hubs in China.

Moreover, it is located in the middle of China, which is very convenient for transporting products in any direction.

The ancient city is also much larger than the second automobile, in the southwest of the ancient city on the edge of the mountainous area, there are several military enterprises, these military enterprises have good machining capabilities.

It is also the textile center and chemical center of central China, and the basic industry is more suitable for building factories than the second automobile.

There are 14 joint ventures in the automotive industry, which produce truck engines, gearboxes, axles, wheels, cabins, paints and other parts.

Each enterprise signs a cooperation agreement with different state-owned enterprises according to its different nature, and the shareholding ratio of both parties is 50 to 50.

The site of the industrial park is located next to the seven major train marshalling stations, covering an area of 30 square kilometers, but this is not to be built all at once, and the initial development area is only 3 square kilometers.

The industrial park is managed and coordinated by Hubei Province and Gucheng City, but only the Hubei Provincial Government and the Automobile Industry Corporation have the right to manage the enterprise.

Most of the factories are still in the early stage of contact, and every day, representatives of different manufacturers will be pulled by translators and cooperative manufacturers to visit, guide, and carry out the initial run-in of industrial cooperation.

Industry, especially in machining, is not something that can be decided with one mouth.

This requires examining the basic strength of each factory, the processing capacity of industrial equipment, and the ability to cultivate talents.

When the processing capacity does not meet the basic requirements, it is also necessary to provide corresponding technology and machinery, machine tools, etc.

However, if the other party does not even have the ability to digest the technology, then the cooperation will be very difficult.

All the delegates were busy, they were all in pain and happy.

Every day, they ride around in old cars, but at the same time, they get to enjoy real food.

Jonas felt like he had gained several pounds during this time, and he had to increase his training to turn fat into muscle.

In the 80s, there were too many kinds of wild game, and when he and Qiao Fanne went to Yangcheng to investigate, they found that there was still a supply of bear's paws in the hotel, and the price was relatively cheap.

Yangcheng is the second base in the Jonas plan in addition to Hubei Province.

In the short term, the profits of the Huaxia automobile market will not be too high, and it is necessary to build an automobile assembly plant in the coastal zone to produce cars for export by itself or OEM.

Fiat attaches great importance to this aspect, and the production line they eliminated in Genoa will be transferred to Huaxia.

However, it is very troublesome for this factory to be built, mainly because the territorial protection of Huaxia is very serious now.

Cooperate with the second automobile and want to build a factory in Yangcheng, but both parties are unwilling.

However, Yangcheng Automobile Company has already cooperated with Peugeot, and they are not capable of becoming partners, so they still need to be adjusted by their superiors.

Jonas is not in a hurry, he is now anxious about his plan to buy a car company in Europe, which is not going well.

In the case of Opel, GM did not say that it would not sell, but the offer reached two billion dollars.

If you want to buy one of their factories, you have to buy dozens of their factories with them, and the premium is amazingly high.

More than 20 years later, in 2008, GM went bankrupt and sold Opel and its affiliates, which was only $2.2 billion.

(Huaxia's investment will not be detailed because of its sensitivity, and the transition between the two chapters is completed...... )
