333 layout of the automobile industry

In fact, when the box office of "Frozen" was announced in the first week, Chen Xueqian did not pay attention to this matter anymore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis, which began in the United States and quickly spread to Europe and even the world, became more and more far-reaching.

The financial sector was the first to be affected by the economic crisis, with a number of banks in Europe and the United States announcing the suspension of funds involved in real estate loans. At the same time, the bond insurance industry in various countries is also facing a crisis. The stock prices of the world's major banks plummeted in an instant. And the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates continuously.

However, all this did not stop the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, with the collapse of European and American banks in 2008 and the first increase in unemployment in the United States since 2004 in February.

In February, Warren Buffett announced that he was willing to reinsure $80 billion of U.S. municipal bonds.

Subsequently, more and more Wall Street investment banks experienced operational difficulties, and the US economic crisis deepened.

Just after the major banks in Europe and the United States fell into crisis, the subprime mortgage crisis gradually spread from the housing loan field to the automobile field, and the transaction rate of automobiles in Europe and the United States plummeted due to the impact of housing loan creditworthiness. Among them, the decline of American car brands was the most severe.

Against this backdrop, U.S. auto brands are turning their attention to emerging international auto markets, and China, which has become the world's second largest auto market, is the top priority.

And other automakers around the world who have also been affected have also moved into China. For a while, the Chinese auto market was exclaiming. It's just that in the face of so many foreign car brands, the domestic auto industry, which is still very weak, is simply unable to meet the enemy. On this occasion, Chen Xueqian also set his sights on this group of automobile manufacturing companies.

Although Chen Xueqian has recently become a research center in the United States, he is committed to developing an engine that has reached the world's advanced level. Moreover, he is well aware of the development trend of the world's automobile manufacturing industry, and his goal is very clear to lock on the 2.0T turbocharged engine.

However, Chen Xueqian is still very clear that if he relies solely on his own self-made research and development, then the research and development progress is bound to be extremely low. Although Chen Xueqian's assets are appreciating rapidly every day in view of his profitability, he is still unwilling to do this kind of wrongdoing.

In fact, in view of the Wassenaar Agreement, many countries in Europe and the United States have been engaging in a ban on sales to China. If Chen Xueqian hadn't happened to be in the context of the subprime mortgage crisis and the increase in unemployment in the United States, he would never have been allowed to set up a research and development center in the United States.

And even if an R&D center is established, the United States will spare no effort to restrict the entry of relevant talents into this institution. Although the institution is registered in the United States, it is also fully funded by American funds.

The deal with Samsung is a private agreement between Chen Xueqian and Samsung Group, and this cooperation can be said to be highly confidential. Even so, the technology that Chen Xueqian got was still a castrated version.

Although China and foreign countries also have a lot of cooperation in the engine for civilian use, it involves some high-standard and core technical things, and those foreign scientists immediately began to ban the sale of engines, so that China's development speed in this area is abnormally slow.

And Chen Xueqian said that there was not much time, so he had to find a way to speed up the progress.

To this end, he seized the opportunity of the subprime mortgage crisis and wanted to seek some opportunities in it. Many times, opportunities are only given when others are too busy to take care of themselves.

And the layout of all this was actually prepared by Chen Xueqian a long time ago. However, when he really began to lay out this matter, he really understood the difficulties involved.

It can be said that almost anywhere you can think of a loophole, the Americans have already thought about how to block it one step earlier. Faced with this situation, Chen Xueqian is very suspicious that even if he tries his best, he will still be stopped by the United States in the end, and he will not even give you an explanation at that time.

Considering this possibility, Chen Xueqian adjusted his planning direction and reformulated his strategic goals.

At first, Chen Xueqian did not have a deep understanding of the current situation of China's heavy industry, and took it for granted that since the principle of a thing is known, what is the difficulty in developing it?

However, after in-depth understanding, he realized that there is an extremely huge gap between knowing the principle and the production. And this gap is not for a single one. It's a whole, a system problem.

Taking the engine as an example, China does not have a domestic engine, but the problem lies in the material resistance and the lack of machining accuracy of parts.

It may seem simple to say, but in reality it is unimaginably difficult.

In terms of machining accuracy, this involves precision machining lathes, but confidential machining lathes are not isolated, there is a lathe can be used, and he also has a bunch of other supporting systems, and even the operation programming of lathes.

And all of this, in China, a lot of them are blank, there is no set of industrial systems to rely on, these things cannot be produced alone.

Seeing this, Chen Xueqian had to break the previous plan of relying entirely on himself and carried out a more detailed plan.

This is also a problem that Chen Xueqian has deeply understood in recent times. The more industries that stand at the top of the entire civilization, the more complex the things involved.

However, he also found another problem that he had not been wrong about before, that is, China's talent is extremely lacking in professional accumulation, and because of the existing value system, the development of many types of work is extremely seriously restricted.

In order to break this situation, it is necessary to reformulate the value system of the Chinese people and completely break the ideological concepts of the extreme opposition between intelligence and physical strength in recent years.

Science and technology, knowledge, which are extremely lofty in the minds of Chinese people, are not all limited to the office, and not all of them are in the dust-free and sterile laboratory.

It's also in the dirty mechanical lathes, but also in the chaotic boiler room.

The problems of industry can only be solved by returning to industry itself. If the development of industry is completely pinned on textbooks or laboratories, then China's industry will inevitably have no tomorrow.

To this end, Chen Xueqian actively prepared for the reorganization of the American scientific research center during this period and established a more complete heavy industry system. For this system, Chen Xueqian's expectation is to change the proportion of domestic talent composition and training mechanism. It's just that there are a lot of issues involved, and Chen Xueqian still needs to sort it out a little bit.

After some careful combing, Chen Xueqian finally proposed to Renault in February, when the subprime mortgage crisis became more serious, to buy 70% of the Samsung cars in his hands.

At this time, Renault had just formed an alliance with Nissan and Volvo, and its passenger cars were selling well in the European market, but they were not doing well in the Korean market.

And in the face of the engulfing subprime mortgage crisis, it is indeed beneficial for the company to abandon non-performing assets at this time. It's just that Renault can't figure out why Chen Xueqian wants to buy Samsung Motors, you must know that this car company is completely dependent on Renault in technology at this time, and its market share in South Korea is extremely limited. Except for a few production lines, they really couldn't see the value of the company.

But Chen Xueqian's reputation is well-known on Wall Street, and the senior executives of Renault do not think that Chen Xueqian will suddenly make a fool and help them take over non-performing assets.

In this way, Renault fell into a moment of hesitation.

Just when Renault continued to hesitate, Chen Xueqian found the South Korean car company Ssangyong Group, ready to negotiate the acquisition, at this time Ssangyong has been controlled by China Modu Automobile Company, but because of the difference in concepts between China and South Korea, Modu Automobile Company's management of Ssangyong is not smooth. This gives the negotiation a basis on which it can be successful.

Just when Chen Xueqian was making every effort to lay out the automobile industry, the outside world expressed his incomprehension. Judging from the current industry situation, the automotive industry is undoubtedly the winter season to make matters worse, but Chen Xueqian is ready to enter it at this time, which is inevitably confusing.

And it's not just the outside world that is puzzled by Chen Xueqian's layout, even Bai Feifei and others are very puzzled. Although Chen Xueqian had already acquired Samsung's automobile shares earlier, Bai Feifei and others thought that Chen Xueqian was taking advantage of the fire to rob, who knew that he seemed to really plan to enter the automotive field.

In March 2008, Chen Xueqian returned to Jinling from South Korea, Bai Feifei and Gu Qingying rushed to Chen Xueqian's studio as soon as possible, ready to ask him about the acquisition of an automobile company.

It's just that when the two of them came to the company, they found that there were already two girls sitting in Chen Xueqian's office.
