Chapter 304: Blossoming in Many Directions

Because it led the price reduction frenzy, Toyota can be regarded as standing on the cusp of this frenzy at the moment, although it was once criticized as malicious competition, but because the Chinese government has not given mandatory intervention, Toyota has enjoyed the sweetness of preemptive strike in a short period of time.)

The price reduction across the board has caused a surge in sales of Toyota's full range of products, while other brands that are slower than Toyota's half-beat price reduction are not as lucky as Toyota, although they also have a breakthrough in sales, but they are not as profitable as the Toyota Group, the initiator of this incident.

International public opinion has also questioned why such a direct price reduction by overseas joint ventures has not been subjected to any pressure from the government, and some international media have even speculated that as long as the price reduction lasts for more than half a year, if China has not yet introduced an official solution, then China's domestic car brands will face the brink of bankruptcy.

Just when Toyota was complacent and the world was puzzled, Dongchen issued a statement that shocked the entire industry with several state-owned car brands at this time.

The statement reads: "From the date of issuance of this statement, Dongchen and the five state-owned brands of FAW, FAW, China Overseas Motor, Yanjing Automobile and North Automobile jointly established an automobile manufacturer alliance called 'Huahe Alliance', in which in addition to Dongchen, other member companies will allocate 70% of their production capacity to cooperate with Dongchen to produce several models of Dongchen Automobile, and the members' own products will adopt Dongchen technology and replace the latest engines provided by Dongchen in advance." The drivetrain will also have the opportunity to be retrofitted with Dongchen Technology. ”

In addition, Dongchen also announced to the public. From now on, Dongchen's S1 and S2 models. It will be produced in cooperation with BAIC, China Shipping Automobile and Yanjing Automobile; The S3 model will be produced in cooperation with FAW and FAW, the S3C and the upcoming S4 will still be produced by Dongchen itself, and the C series of SUVs will be produced except for the C3C. The C1, C2 and C3 are all produced in cooperation with Dongfeng and BAIC, and the C3C is produced by Dongchen itself.

Roughly calculated, after the official start of the cooperation. The combined monthly output of all models of Dongchen Automobile is expected to exceed 300,000 units, and after the completion of Dongchen's industrial base in Jiangcheng, the monthly output is expected to exceed 500,000 units, that is, the annual output of more than 6 million units.

This news, both for consumers and for other automobile manufacturers, is a very explosive news, through the newly established Huahe Alliance, Dongchen overnight production capacity increased sixfold, originally to reduce the price to take the first step to compress Dongchen's market space to the extreme. But what he didn't expect was that this move forced Dongchen to play the alliance strategy, his original production capacity was insufficient, and now several state-owned enterprises are making up for him, so that the advantages they have just built up at the expense of profits will lose their role in an instant.

This also made Toyota and others suddenly realize why the state has not taken action to regulate it. If they forcibly prohibit the price reduction measures of foreign enterprises, they will first be rejected by the people, and it will be difficult to cope with the huge domestic pressure alone, not to mention, the mandatory prohibition of price reductions and the protection of domestic brands will also make consumers resistant, and it is impossible to fundamentally help domestic brands, but now so many state-owned enterprises have begun to cooperate with Dongchen and adopt Dongchen technology, It can not only make a strong response to the price reduction of foreign enterprises, but also improve the competitiveness of state-owned brands, and will not cause national rejection, and even to a large extent, this measure will greatly enhance the recognition of domestic brands by the people.

In the past, Dongchen could not choose Dongchen, not because Dongchen did not reduce prices, but because Dongchen has not had enough existing cars to supply the market, but now it seems that in the near future, even after a month or two, a large number of Dongchen cars will pour into the market. The consumer's choice priority is still left to Dongchen Automobile. …,

Zhang Wenhao began to become extremely busy at this time, he began to license the body technology of S1, S2, S3 to various enterprises in the alliance, and then began to supervise the production progress of each enterprise, FAW's manufacturing strength is the most powerful of these brands, their Pentium production line was reorganized in the fastest time, using the technical information provided by Dongchen, in the first time began to produce S2, S3 body, chassis and suspension and other components, as for seats, interiors, airbags and other auxiliary components, All of them are carried out through unified procurement, so that Dongchen only needs to transport the power system, transmission system and other components to FAW in the early stage, and the final assembly can be completed directly on the FAW production line.

Only fifteen days later, the first S2 car produced by FAW Dongchen rolled off the assembly line, and after a series of tests proved that the S2 produced by FAW did not have any technical gap with the S2 produced by Dongchen, and then the car was delivered to an Anhui reservation user after the predetermined order of Dongchen dealers across the country.

The Dongfeng and BAIC production lines, which took the lead in cooperating with Dongchen, also successfully produced three models of C series 1, 2 and 3, with the price of C1 positioned at 20.3 million, and the main competitors are Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4, Subaru XV, Forester and other SUV models at the same price; The price of C2 is positioned at 30.55 million, which is used to compete with Audi Q5, BMW X3, Land Rover Freelander, Infiniti EX, Toyota Highlander and other models, as for C3, the price is positioned at 601 million, C3C because of its excellent comprehensiveness, the starting price starts from 1.5 million and goes all the way to 2.4 million, comprehensively surpassing Cayenne and Range Rover.

The 3.0 twin-turbo version of the C3C, which has been tested by TopGear, is priced at 2.4 million yuan after enhanced interior and luxury auxiliary features, even though the C3C is so expensive. The market reaction is still extremely hot, and the word 'extreme realm' has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A large number of high-end consumers are waiting for coins, and the number of reservations nationwide has exceeded 20,000. It is higher than the full range of Cayenne models and annual sales.

Dongchen Automobile has already formed a situation in the Chinese market

Just when the production lines continued to complete the final assembly and officially roll off the production line, Zhang Wenhao ushered in two major events.

First of all, the high-power diesel engine production line in Zhangjiakou has been completed by surprise, which is also the result of the state's investment in manpower and material resources at any cost. The next step is to go straight to production.

Secondly, the steel alloy of Xiaoer characteristics has completed a cumulative high temperature environment test of up to 1,000 hours. Under the unnatural high temperature of more than 60 degrees, the metal fatigue seems to explode in an instant, and the strength of the steel alloy with extremely high strength is reduced to almost the same as that of ordinary cast iron in an instant, which can not meet the most ordinary industrial needs at all.

Director Liu conveyed the high-level recognition of this characteristic material, and said to Zhang Wenhao that the time can be reduced to about 700 hours, and it is impossible for normal tests to meet this standard, and there will be no flaws in 700 hours, as for the rest of the things. The state does not interfere in any way, and everything is decided by Dongchen himself.

The meaning of this is that of course there is a problem, and it has nothing to do with the country, this kind of digging a pit and stumbling up is indeed not suitable for linking with the country, Zhang Wenhao operates alone, and if there is a problem, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can only suffer a dumb loss.

After getting the approval. Zhang Wenhao immediately set out to contact Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, he first told Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the form of an email that the operation of the export of this new material is very difficult, and it is difficult for Dongchen to avoid the eyes of people to complete such a large number of exports, which need to be dredged too many links, if you insist on doing it, the price needs to be raised to one million per ton, otherwise, Dongchen can only apologize to Mitsubishi.

Zhang Wenhao's starting price made Mitsubishi happy and angry, and the happy thing is that as long as Dongchen opened the price, it proves that this matter is operable, and it is just that Dongchen sits on the ground and starts the price, and wants to knock Mitsubishi a big deal. …,

However, Mitsubishi does not value this money at all, compared to the application range and special effects of this material in national defense technology, no matter how high the price Mitsubishi is completely acceptable, anyway, the money will eventually be paid by the Japanese government, and they will also have the opportunity to earn more profits from it, so, Mitsubishi soon made it clear that the price of one million is acceptable, but they need to start operating as soon as possible, but considering the cost, Mitsubishi can not buy 100,000 tons at one time according to the original plan, The upfront purchase volume was reduced from 100,000 tons to 10,000 tons.

The price of one million is 100,000 tons, that is, 100 billion yuan, Zhang Wenhao does not think that Mitsubishi can take out so much cash to trade with him at once, and the purchase volume is reduced to 10,000 tons, and he has no opinion, if there are too many exports, it is easy to be caught by Mitsubishi.

Even if the special material is only a thousand hours of use, if Mitsubishi has excess materials on hand, then they can still use the method of replacement, after all, within this thousand hours of use time, this special material is still very useful, so that even if Mitsubishi finds a problem, they can also use excess materials to complete the replacement, but the amount of 10,000 tons, Mitsubishi must not be able to leave any surplus for themselves, when they find the problem, There won't be any materials on hand that can be replaced.

Zhang Wenhao agreed to Mitsubishi's request, first transported a ton of special materials to Japan by means of smuggling, delivered to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for testing, the two sides agreed that Dongchen will prepare a shell subsidiary in China from now on, at that time, once the materials are prepared, the two sides will come forward to trade with their respective shell companies, and this transaction, Dongchen and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will not carry out any substantive contracts and commitments, after the completion of the transaction, the two sides will no longer have any relationship with each other, and will no longer bear any relevant responsibilities of the other party.

This agreement is very beneficial to Mitsubishi, and they do not want to get involved in political disputes, so if the two parties really make a transaction in such a secret way, and do not carry out any form of accountability and responsibility afterwards, for them, they only want to buy things, and do not want to ask about anything else, so they naturally agree with this agreement.

Zhongchen Materials also began to work overtime to produce 10,000 tons of special new materials, and the delivery time agreed between Zhang Wenhao and Mitsubishi was 20 days. Zhongchen extracts 1,000 tons of production capacity every day to produce new materials, ten days later. These new materials will be mixed with hot-rolled steel and shipped to Japan in a bold way.

In fact, the customs link is very easy to operate. Even the customs itself does not know what this new material is, the government only made an agreement with Zhongchen not to allow exports and casual sales, but it was not included in the list of prohibited exports, even if the customs officers see this batch of new materials, they can't tell the difference between it and other steel, and the export can be said to be very convenient.

Waiting for the time to trade with Mitsubishi. Zhang Wenhao began to devote himself to Zhangjiakou, more than 1,000 robotic arms were installed on the latest diesel engine production line, and after the commissioning was completed, Xiao Er controlled more than 1,000 robotic arms. Immediately devoted himself to the production of high-power diesel engines.

It only took five days, the first high-power diesel engine customized by Xiao Er has been produced off the assembly line, this engine can be regarded as Xiao Er's own hand-made, without any mold, every part is customized production, this engine sent to the military, after the approval of the military, Zhang Wenhao will prepare for mass production, it will not be long before the production line will have the ability to mass production. The annual output is not high, but at least it can reach more than 5,000 units, and it can reach 10,000 units at full horsepower. …,

The engine model that came off the assembly line was defined as DCC1800A, and at the beginning DCC means the abbreviation of Dongchen Diesel, and the 1800 represents the engine's top kilometer and 1800 horsepower. A stands for version, which is the first generation version.

In the world, the 1,500-horsepower diesel engine generally weighs about 1.251.5 tons, and the engine with more than 1,500 horsepower is only Germany, the United States and Russia have the manufacturing strength, and the highest power is only 1,700 horsepower, weighing more than 1.5 tons, and the technology is not fully mature, and it has not been officially replaced with the main battle tanks of various countries, and is still in the testing and improvement stage.

The total weight of this DCC1800A is less than 1.1 tons, and the specific weight data is only 1060 kilograms, both in weight and volume, it is similar to a 1200 horsepower diesel engine, and the engine compartment space of the active main battle tank is slightly larger than that of the DCC1800A, if you want to replace the DCC1800A, it is not troublesome, you only need to install a set of slightly larger special molds around the engine, and you can directly complete the installation and fixation, and the additional cost does not exceed 5,000 yuan.

Small size, light weight, large horsepower, is the goal and direction of the development of all engines, whether it is civil or military, or in the field of aviation, this is a law of physics, and Zhang Wenhao came up with the DCC1800A technology, nothing more than the technology of Western countries ten years later, but Western countries can reach this standard after ten years, but, after continuous testing and improvement, it will take at least fifteen years to achieve the installation, now, Zhang Wenhao with the technology in the super learning system, In a short period of time, the domestic high-power diesel engine technology has changed from being 10 to 15 years behind to at least 15 years ahead.

That's the huge benefit of having access to the technology of the future, and the technology contained in the super-learning system is at least hundreds of years ahead of today's time.

China's industrial development has been suffering from huge engine pain, our basic civilian industry is limited by engine technology, this is a recognized fact, otherwise it is impossible for so many foreign-funded enterprises to make crazy money in the Chinese market, and our military industry is subject to many secret restrictions, if it is a civilian engine defect, we can also spend more money, from the hands of advanced countries to buy directly, but the military industry, but not money can buy back

China's export-oriented main battle tank MBT2000 was originally a cost-effective main battle tank that could be exported to earn foreign exchange, but because we do not have enough engine production strength, this main battle tank is equipped with a high-power diesel engine produced in UkraineThis is where the pain of being subject to human beings lies.

The emergence of this DCC1800A will completely reverse this situation of being controlled by others, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be other countries that continue to beg China to export technology to them, rather than China constantly looking for better technology providers.

After receiving Zhang Wenhao's notice, Officer Liu was shocked and thought that he was dreaming, the production line was only five days on the line, Zhang Wenhao claimed that he had the first engine off the assembly line, and asked Officer Liu to contact military experts to go to Zhangjiakou to be responsible for the acceptance test, five days, who can build a high-power diesel engine that meets the requirements of the military in such a short period of time? !

Officer Liu asked on the phone: "Does it meet all the requirements of the military?" Did the power reach 1500 horsepower? ”

Zhang Wenhao said lightly: "The team behind me thinks that it is a waste of emotion to produce an engine that meets today's mainstream requirements, so this engine is 20% higher in power than the military requirements." "To be continued......)
