Runhua Industrial has successively won two copper mines with a total reserve of more than 200 million tons from Zambia, one of which is a super rich mine with a grade of more than 3.8%! As soon as this news came out, not to mention how much shock it caused in China, the bowels of the non-ferrous metals corporation that had retreated before were blue!

Although the decision to withdraw from Zambia is the leadership of the real group, but in the face of 2 100 million tons of super copper mines, it is not a matter of slapping yourself in the mouth or something, and after determining the authenticity of the news, the nonferrous metals corporation held an emergency meeting at the first time.

Ye Yun said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Comrades, I believe that you have already understood the situation, I will not say more, I have only one point: Lumwana Copper Mine and Kangkra Copper Mine have great strategic significance for China's economic development and reform and opening up, as a central enterprise, we not only have an unshirkable responsibility, but also must shoulder our responsibility!" ”

In a word, Ye Yun easily overturned his previous decision.

But no one thinks there is anything wrong with this, central enterprises are central enterprises, since they are central enterprises, how can they be able to do it without a little domineering of central enterprises?

"But...... Chen Geng's attitude on this matter seems to be very stubborn," Feng Chao said cautiously: "The leaders also said before that the affairs of Zambia will be handed over to Runhua Industry ......"

"It's right to hand over the responsibility of Runhua Industry, but does Runhua Industry have experience in copper mining? Do you have experience in smelting? No! As an industrial company, they seriously lack these experiences," Feng Chao was interrupted before he could finish his words: "Since they have no experience, those of us who are big brothers have the responsibility and obligation to help these little brothers." ”

That's right!

Hearing this, the high-level executives did not feel ashamed, but took it for granted: we are experienced big brothers, and it is natural to help the little brothers.

Feng Chao had a bitter face: What's the use of you playing tricks in front of me, don't care how righteous and strict you are now, if you have the ability, you can let Chen Geng listen to your greetings first.

Ye Yun was very satisfied with this statement, nodded and said: "That's the reason, we don't want to do anything, Runhua Industrial won the Kangkra Copper Mine and the Lumwana Copper Mine, which is a good thing, but they have no experience, we as big brothers have the responsibility and obligation to help them, who made us a central enterprise?" ”

After speaking, he shook his head, looking like he had suffered a big loss.

Feng Chao lowered his head and didn't say a word: Cheng, you are all great gods, but no matter what you say, first find a way to persuade Chen Geng to talk about the rest.

Not speaking doesn't mean that no one is paying attention to him, glancing at Feng Chao, who lowered his head and didn't speak, Ye Yun said: "Director Feng, didn't Chen Geng come back from Zambia?" Help me contact Runhua Industry, and they said that I was going to visit their company. ”

Listen, how domineering this is! Rather than to discuss, to "visit" and "investigate" with a sense of superiority - when will the word "visit" be used? Basically, it's when the superior leader goes to the subordinate unit.

"It feels good," Chen Geng jumped out of the car in front of him, and jumped off the A6L equipped with the last batch of pre-production 4-speed automatic transmissions, and gave a high evaluation of the car's tuning and the matching between the engine and the gearbox: "Although the gear connection is not very smooth, and there are some setbacks when driving at low speeds, but? Very good, in terms of tuning and matching, the performance of this gearbox can reach the mainstream level of today's 4AT gearbox, I agree, it can be mass-produced. ”

When Chen Geng got off the car, he had been looking at Chen Geng's group of engineers, and immediately cheered: has reached the world's mainstream level? God, they couldn't have thought of this before!

What does it mean to be at the world's mainstream level? You know, the mainstream of today's luxury cars is 4AT, not to mention a ticket of Japanese luxury cars, even the low-end version of Mercedes-Benz S-class is equipped with a 4AT automatic transmission, the boss can give a "mainstream level" evaluation has exceeded many people's thinking, some more emotional engineers even cried - from the beginning of research and development to the present, it is not easy, countless people for this Chinese own 4AT automatic transmission paid too much.

Everyone was very happy, but as the top person in charge of the automatic transmission project, Comrade Lao Pa's brows have not been loosened, while everyone was happy, he came to Chen Geng's side, and said in a low voice: "Boss, our cost is too high, compared with competitors, we have no advantage at all......"

"Isn't that normal?" The smile on Chen Geng's face did not change, and he also said in a low voice: "If our cost can be compared with ZF, Aisin Seiki. General Motors, a company that has been involved in automatic transmissions for many years, is on par, but I wonder if you are doing something somewhere...... How much higher is the cost than the same specification products in the industry? ”

I thought you didn't care about this, Pascal Schultz glanced at Chen Geng angrily and said, "2.5 times." ”

"Damn, so many?" Chen Geng was taken aback.

He was really frightened by this number, the annual production capacity of the first phase of the automatic transmission planned by Runhua Industry was only 2,000 units - yes, it was a pitiful 2,000 units - the cost was higher than that of GM, Ford, Aisin Seiki and ZF, which were automatic transmission brands and independent automatic transmission suppliers, which was normal and should be, but Chen Geng had estimated that it should be 1.8 to 1.9 times, who would have thought that it had reached 2.5 times?!

The cost of automatic transmissions is already high, even Aisin Seiki, which is known for its stability and cost advantages, the cost of a 4AT automatic transmission used in a mid-level car with a maximum input torque of 200 Nm is about 5,000 US dollars, and if its own automatic transmission is 2.5 times the industry standard, wouldn't it be equivalent to 12,500 US dollars? Nima! It's completely possible to buy a good new car in the United States.

"No way," Pascal Schultz smiled bitterly: "We can't form a scale advantage, the cost can't be reduced, and the other is the electronic control system, your country can't produce all kinds of industrial control chips for automatic transmissions, so you can only import them from abroad, and the trial production stage in the early stage is just that, but if it's large-scale production, you can only find suppliers like Siemens, because the purchase volume is too low, and people are not willing to sell to us at first......"

Chen Geng understood: such as Siemens, an automatic transmission electronic control chip supplier, the demand for thousands of chips a year is simply seen by others, even if it is sold to Runhua Industry in the end, the asking price is desperately high, and the price is even several times, more than ten times or even dozens of times that of other automatic transmission manufacturers - I just sell at a high price, what? If you have the ability, you don't want it.

Runhua Industry really can't do without, even if there is only a supply of 2,000 automatic transmissions a year, it also has the ability to produce automatic transmission models, which is of great significance to Runhua Industry, but it also means that the cost has gone up.

The smile on Chen Geng's face has not changed, but the green tendons on his fist are jumping suddenly: Womb, it's too bullying!

Pascal Schultz saw Chen Geng's expression in his eyes, and he lowered his head: "Boss, I'm sorry, I ......"

"This has nothing to do with you," Chen Geng waved his hand, barely squeezing out a smile: "Anyway, our production capacity is not very high, even if the cost is a little higher than others, but it's a big deal that we can increase the price a little, although the whole vehicle makes less money, but it is not without profits." ”

What Chen Geng said seemed to have some truth, but Pascal Schultz smiled bitterly in his heart: How can things be so simple!

The cost of automatic transmission is much higher than that of manual transmission, and now the cost of this 4AT automatic transmission produced by Runhua Industry has reached 2.5 times that of similar products in the industry, if it is loaded, even if the price of the AT version of the model is 50,000 higher than the price of the MT version of the model, the profit of this car is much lower than that of the MT model, and it is even possible to lose money.

As for why he didn't persuade Chen Geng to give up the development of independent automatic transmissions and turn to external procurement, it was because Pascal Schultz, who has worked at ZF, knows very well that which of the world's large OEMs does not have its own automatic transmission business? The three major U.S. auto giants General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler all have their own automatic transmission business, Japan's Toyota is a shareholder of Aisin Seiki, Honda Motor also has its own transmission business, and Germany's ZF claims to be an independent automatic transmission supplier, but ZF's major shareholder, the Quandt family, is also a major shareholder of BMW...... To put it bluntly, all the world's leading OEMs will cultivate their own powertrain manufacturing capabilities, and even the French PSA Group, which has always outsourced automatic transmissions, is now actively approaching Siemens Group to prepare to develop its own automatic transmissions.

If Runhua Industry is just a corner of the country, it would be fine, but since Chen Geng intends to carry forward Runhua Industry, he must develop his own automatic transmission.

However, with a wry smile, Pascal Schultz is more glad that Chen Geng has no intention of giving up the automatic transmission business under such high cost pressure, which is good, which shows that his ambition is not just talking, he really intends to cultivate Runhua Industry into a world-class automobile company, but ......

"Boss," Pascal Schultz whispered, "now we only have an annual production capacity of 2,000 units, and we can fully absorb the additional cost, but if the market demand increases...... We're going to start planning now. ”

"Hmm." Chen Geng nodded silently, Pascal Schultz is right, if it is only 2000 units, it will have little impact on Runhua Industry, but he is very clear that with the increase in car ownership, the future of cars will inevitably be based on automatic transmissions, and a high-cost automatic transmission is obviously not in the interests of the company, and this problem must be solved as soon as possible.
