Just four R&D centers will cost 400 million US dollars, which is why many people say that if they want to make cars, the starting threshold is one billion US dollars.

The R&D center does not have a production line or anything, it is some small and medium-sized equipment, but in China, it is absolutely top-notch, and several of them are not equipped by a gas company.

It's just those large-scale equipment that are the most expensive for automobile companies, a set of advanced fully automatic production lines, and only the production of parts, the price is hundreds of millions of dollars, and the production capacity is not high.

If it is a complete set, including the production of engines, gearboxes, shells, chassis, tire assembly, seat installation, etc., it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars at least.

Wang Haoan didn't buy the latest because others don't sell it. As soon as I heard that it was purchased by Huaxia's company, then bye bye and don't talk about it.

Of course, the production line you want to install, this can be sold, and some of them have strings attached, such as having to purchase engines or chassis from them.

If you want to enter the automobile industry, money alone is not enough, because money may not be able to buy technology, unless you are willing to pay several times the price is possible, so how to make money?

"Mr. Wang, there is an Australian car company that is willing to sell part of the car platform production line. A stamping machine that includes a spot welding robot, made in Germany. The price is relatively expensive, and there are still parts of this device that are damaged. ”

"However, this equipment was three years ago, which was the most advanced at the time, and now it can be regarded as good in the world, much better than those used by domestic automobile companies. ”

"But the damage is the CNC part, I don't know if it can be repaired successfully. And the other party only provides disassembly and loading, not delivery and installation. ”

To put it bluntly, I dismantled a bad production line machine tool here, and planned to eliminate it, but I sold it to you at a similar price as a new one, and you have to come and pull it back to install it yourself, and I don't guarantee whether you can use it.

But at this time, the most advanced automotive equipment that can be bought, domestic machine tool enterprises, and foreign gap is very large, those large enterprises are also from abroad to purchase stamping machine tools, many are second-rate, because of the technical blockade.

The four major processes of automobiles are stamping, welding, painting and final assembly. The automobile production line in many people's mouths is actually the final assembly line.

In fact, you can't use other people's assembly lines, and the design size of your car can't be exactly the same as that of others, right?

However, it is still very easy to adjust stamping machine tools, welding robots, painting production lines, etc., and the final assembly machine tools, which can actually be produced in China, but in terms of efficiency, there may be a gap compared with foreign ones, but they can be used.

"If there is no such thing in China, then buy it at a lower price. The same goes for other machine tools, if they can be sold, even if there is a problem, buy them back, and we will see if they can be repaired and used. Or simply hand it over to the domestic machine tool factory to see if they can copy it. ”

If it weren't for the Kwok Group this time, even if it was damaged second-hand equipment, it might not be able to be bought. And when you buy it, you have to use the name of a company in Xiangjiang, anyway, as long as you get to the port of Xiangjiang, then you don't have to worry about everything.

It would be better if you could buy a new one, but unfortunately it is completely impossible, and that kind of product is not allowed to be exported to Huaxia at all.

Wang Haoan wanted to buy through a company in the United States, only to know that there was this restriction. However, Wang Haoan is still trying to find a way, first buy the product in the name of a European company, and then ship it to Europe, and then load it on another ship and transport it to Huaxia.

In fact, many of the advanced equipment in Huaxia were bought in this way. It costs more money to spend more money, but it's better than spending money and not being able to buy it.

But most of those advanced equipment, most of them stay in the laboratory, used for research and development, they are reluctant to dismantle the research, there must be some technical protection measures in it, you may not be able to install it again.

Wang Haoan has no worries, anyway, the equipment he bought is second-hand and broken, and the price is much cheaper than the new one.

If this road really doesn't work, then you can only go abroad to purchase second-rate production lines, and the efficiency is lower. At least now he doesn't need to, the important work now is to develop the three core components of the car, these research and development is successful, even if he does not produce the car, just by selling these three parts, he can make money.

Jili Automobile, is also waiting for his good news, Wang Haoan is also the second largest shareholder of Jili Automobile.

It was also after looking at the production process of Jili Automobile that Wang Haoan found that not only the core components of the car are important, but also the production line is also very important, otherwise the efficiency will not be high, and the quality is not easy to control.

On the Geely side, many things are done manually. The machine tool is semi-automatic, and it needs to be careful every time, and it cannot be formed at one time, and then let the master adjust it manually with tools.

But that's it, the cost of a car is not very high, because the labor cost on the Jili side is very low, and there are many retired and rehired masters.

For Geely Motors, the biggest cost of a car is the material, because they can produce it from the engine to the gearbox to the chassis and shell.

But since he went to Europe, Li Dafu decided to purchase good machine tools and equipment, because the car made by their master by hand looks really good, but when it is tested, it is found that there are many problems.

In order to produce a completely excellent car, Li Dafu personally commanded the workers to work for several months, and finally there was a car that fully met the standard, and it was precisely because of this that the provincial leaders had more confidence to help him communicate with the upper leaders, and even invited the leaders to visit the factory of Jili, which also helped Jili Automobile become the first private automobile enterprise with a real automobile production license.

Wang Haoan has been busy during this time, which is an industry he cares about the most in the real sense. In other aspects, the technical content is not particularly high, which is really too demanding for knowledge and technology, and Wang Haoan is also a little powerless.

Fortunately, he invited a lot of experts and professors, who always know some international cutting-edge technologies, but unfortunately many of them have heard of it, but they don't know how to do it.

Now that there is finally a R&D center, they can try some of the imagined products in reality, if they succeed, it will be a great breakthrough, and they can also become celebrities in the history of the Chinese automobile industry!
