Wang Haoan not only arranged for Dumas to contact American automobile companies, but also contacted and inquired about some European automobiles through the Guo Group.

He doesn't want to think about the brand, those brands he has heard of, all of them are ridiculously expensive, although they also come with some technology, but they are really not a billion dollars to take.

Although Wang Haoan's cash is not more than one billion US dollars, there must be funds to operate when he buys it back, and he has to leave some risk reserves or something, and he doesn't know how long it will take to make a profit, and the loan doesn't seem to be very cost-effective.

The most important thing is that Wang Haoan is not interested in those brands, if there is a well-known brand in China and the price is cheap, he will consider it.

The direct purchase of technology has also encountered difficulties, and most companies are willing to do patent licensing. For example, for the patented technology of some parts, every time you produce a part, you have to give them a certain amount of money, which is considered a long stream.

There are only three that agree to sell out, all of which are declining automobile companies, and they are only third-rate automobile companies in Europe and the United States, and the price of technology is also very expensive, each of which exceeds 100 million US dollars, not including engines.

The engine is at the heart of a car. None of the car companies consulted before were willing to license the patented engine technology, and only agreed to sell the finished engine to him.

In fact, there are many cars that are assembled by buying engines made by other companies, but the margins of such cars are very low and they will be phased out.

If the core technology is in the hands of others, you will definitely be restrained everywhere, and the signed contract will definitely be unequal.

Just like the computers and mobile phones in the previous life, how much profit can be made by purchasing other people's spare parts and assembling? Later, those assembly companies also began to independently develop, independently developed motherboards, independent research and development systems, just don't want to be choked by others.

And some directly sold engine technical drawings, Wang Haoan will not consider at all, so what is the engine for the production of tractors!

Half a month later, some information was summarized in front of Wang Haoan.

The technology of the engine was not consulted, but two of the three major parts of the car, the transmission and chassis technology, were sold out by some companies.

Wang Haoan handed the information to an old man in front of him: "Shen Gong, look at some of the technologies listed above, what grade do they belong to in the world, and what grade do they belong to in China?"

Professional information, Wang Haoan can't understand at all. Although there are some evaluations from foreign institutions above, they are all a few years ago, because these technologies are a few years ago, and they are no longer mainstream.

Shen Gong looked at the various product models listed on it very carefully, and also flipped through the comparison from the notebook he brought, and it took almost half an hour before he took off his reading glasses.

"Mr. Wang, the technology of these gearboxes belongs to the technology of the late 80s and early 90s in Europe and the United States. ”

"The same is true for chassis technology, which is second-rate in the world, and it is a technology that is basically eliminated in developed countries, but it can also be regarded as good in China. ”

"It's just that these technologies are not bad in China, but they can't be leading, there is no technical advantage, and they lack competitiveness, unless they can purchase better production lines and reduce production costs. ”

"But these are international second-rate technologies, and it will take us a long time to understand them, and then procure, install, and debug new production lines, and when they are produced, we will have to wait for next year at the earliest. ”

"Once we produce it, not to mention whether the domestic car companies will purchase it, they all have joint venture agreements with foreign brands, I don't know what the agreements are, but there will definitely be some restrictions in this regard. Even if they do, how much can they buy?"

"The domestic sales are not high, no one buys it abroad, and the input is seriously disproportional to the output, so I don't recommend buying. ”

Based on Shen Gong's words, Wang Haoan felt that the consulting fee was not spent in vain. It not only analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of technology, but also informs the domestic and international situation.

But Wang Haoan didn't answer, whether to buy or not was not decided by Shen Gong, but by him. Whether to buy or not depends on how much it is worth. If the price is cheap, he will not use it to build a factory, but to do the foundation of research and development, then it will be worth it.

"Shen Gong, I heard that the engine technology of the island country has been introduced in China?" To make a car, Wang Haoan also knows a little about the domestic industry, and knows that before the millennium, two Sanling engine joint ventures were established in China, and many domestic automobile companies have placed large orders, which are much cheaper than buying from abroad.

"The technology of that engine, which is the same level as the chassis and gearbox on this information, is already second-rate in the world, and developed countries basically do not continue to produce, that is, sell to some poor places. ”

"And after having those two joint ventures, the political axe will no longer give money for engine research and development, and even if it does, it will be to develop engines suitable for military products, not civilian ones. ”

In fact, Huaxia has been researching engines, but Huaxia is lagging behind in material science, precision instruments, etc., and now although it is catching up, the Western powers not only have a technological blockade, but even some materials are also limited in supply, which can ensure greater interests and limit the development of industrial technology in Huaxia.

It is possible to buy some materials that are in demand, but to use them in the production of military products, it is naturally not enough for civilian use. There's no material, and it's a fart.

Without practice, you will never know whether it is right or wrong in theory, and in many cases, even if you know that there is a problem, you don't know where the problem is.

As for the other technologies of automobiles, they are relatively unimportant, and the R&D funds will not be higher than these three, unless you want to become the world's top one.

"Does Shen Gong know the value of these technologies? For example, what are the conditions of the two joint venture engine companies of Sanling in China, what do Sanling provide in addition to technology, and what is the proportion?"

Wang Haoan suddenly asked.

"This, Mr. Wang, I am not the person who handles this, so I don't know. It's not a secret, and if you want to inquire, you can still find out. ”

It's nothing more than asking about the approximate terms of the contract, the contract has been executed, and there are many people handling it, as long as Wang Haoan inquires more, he will definitely know.

"Shen Gong, if we are going to buy these technologies, can you go with the negotiating delegation as a technical expert?"

Shen Gong was stunned: "Mr. Wang, I didn't make it clear just now? These are second-rate technologies, and they are not suitable for production if you buy them back for production!"

"This doesn't have to worry about Shen Gong, if Shen Gong is willing to accompany him and help check the authenticity or parameters of some technologies or something, my consultant fee, I will give you three times this time!"
