Watching Hemut and Muller walk out of the conference room with their negotiation team, Jin Xiaoqiang's heart is not to mention

When I came to Germany for the first time to purchase machinery and equipment, I only found one company to talk about the issue of patent technology transfer, and this company was ZF, which was this Mullett at that time

The Germans have run out, and Jin Xiaoqiang didn't need to stay longer, so they left the resort directly, got on the return bus, and when they returned to the hotel, Jin Xiaoqiang locked himself in the room and began to ponder the gains and losses of this transaction

As we all know, the three key parts of a car are the engine, transmission, and the chassis of the car, and no matter which of these three things can determine the performance of a car

The three most famous factions in the world that tune the chassis of automobiles are the German, American and Japanese

Needless to say, American cars pay attention to the atmosphere and luxury chassis, and the chassis is calm, and their chassis tuning style is biased towards comfort, and you can't feel it over the pit, which is the luxurious comfort that Americans emphasize

The style of Japanese cars is flexible and easy to use, so nowadays, many people, especially novices, when driving Japanese cars, the first feeling is that it is easy to drive, the steering is too sensitive, and it is very easy to get started

The chassis tuning style of German cars is different from the above two, they pay attention to the driving pleasure, the integration of people and vehicles, and the communication between the driver and the vehicle and the road

In this comparison, it seems that the German chassis tuning aims to be better than the above two, and in fact it is

When Jin Xiaoqiang's Huayang Power started, the chassis of the first famous Yidong designed was from the Mazda that imitated the Japanese car, and the later Qoros was the tuning style of the American car chassis

The chassis tuning style of the later K series is also from the later Japanese SKYACTIV technology, as for the chassis of other models under Huayang Power, as for their body, Jin Xiaoqiang retains the characteristics of their original body

In this way, the chassis of each of their cars is tuned very well, after all, in the previous life, these models have been verified by their original designers thousands of times and the most rigorous inspection in the market, and there will not be too many major problems

However, although this is to ensure the popularity of Huayang Power's models in the market, for their own chassis design engineers, they have not formed their own style

Chassis design seems simple, but in fact it is a very complex and comprehensive project, because at the beginning of the design of the car chassis, you must consider the later chassis to carry the body and the engine will bring vibration noise to the body, as well as your car after the road performance, handling, passability and a series of comprehensive problems

Therefore, the design of the automobile chassis can be said to be a very difficult place for the skills of the school engineers, and this part is also the most troublesome part for the automobile design

Many automobile companies, even many of the world's top automobile companies, only have so many chassis platforms, and roughly most of their models are pulled out of these platforms

The most famous of these is the German Volkswagen, whose famous PQ36 platform has enabled almost 80% of their vehicles to be lifted and shaped

This shows how troublesome it is to develop a qualified chassis

And the reason why Jin Xiaoqiang wants the chassis of BMW's 3 Series is precisely because of the world-renowned handling of this BMW 3 Series product, and the most important thing is that this chassis is almost single-handedly completed by ZF from design to production...,

Although BMW's 5 Series and 7 Series have more advanced chassis designs, the chassis of those two series models is actually the same as the chassis design of the 3 Series in many places

And the key is that Jin Xiaoqiang also considered that if he asked for a more advanced chassis from others, BMW was likely to turn around, and would rather not want his own things than promise himself, after all, this aspect is what they are most proud of

However, if you want the chassis tuning technology of the BMW 3 Series, it is different, after all, the tuning technology of this chassis is all handled by ZF, and it is not BMW's core key technology

In this way, BMW can not only have a greater possibility to agree to its own conditions, but also ruthlessly slaughter ZF to avenge the last arrow

And this chassis specially tuned by ZF for BMW can really be said to be a very good product, as BMW's largest selling 3 Series model, the chassis handling of this model is currently well-known among BMW consumers around the world

Moreover, the reason why Jin Xiaoqiang now wants BMW's chassis tuning technology is to combine the tuning technology of the American chassis and the tuning technology of the Japanese chassis, and combine the strengths of the three to develop the technology that belongs to the Huayang power style

Although he has copied Japanese chassis tuning technology before, he has also copied American chassis tuning technology, because in his previous life, most of the models he came into contact with were Japanese and American

The chassis parameters of Japanese cars are because he had worked in a domestic independent brand car company before, and when that car company copied the chassis parameters of Japanese cars, he used to be a data entry clerk throughout the whole process

On the one hand, he passed Liu Xiaoliang, who worked at BorgWarner in the United States at that time, and on the other hand, he often repaired American luxury cars, and the Americans didn't seem to care too much about the parameters of this chassis tuning, so he figured out a rough reason

However, he has not known much about the chassis tuning parameters of German cars, because the Germans are very strict about the unique skills they rely on for survival, and generally will never leak them to the outside world

And in his impression, the German's chassis tuning ability is really remarkable

Think about the Huazhong Automobile in the previous life, when they were going to produce a certain car, the chassis rear suspension was because it was a non-independent suspension, but because they had not produced and tuned such a suspension before, they finally had to invite engineers from BMW to help tune it

And this time, the Germans did not reserve it, and directly helped them to tune the chassis of this car well, and Huazhong Automobile also sent people to participate in the whole training

As a result, the chassis designers of Huazhong Automobile have benefited a lot from this tuning, making their chassis tuning technology improve by leaps and bounds

Later, many models produced by Huazhong Automobile were unsatisfactory in many aspects such as engines or transmissions, but in terms of chassis, they were definitely ahead of all domestic counterparts

This anecdote made Jin Xiaoqiang very impressed

Therefore, although he despises the Germans in his heart, he really appreciates the skills of the Germans in tuning the chassis of the car

And if they Huayang Power want to walk out of a road with the characteristics of the Celestial Empire in the design of automobile chassis, then they must learn from each other's strengths, set the strengths of the American, Japanese, and German systems, and then accommodate and blend together to form their own style

And now they are short of the German chassis tuning parameters and style, so of course he will not miss this opportunity this time

And this time, he asked the Germans for the BMW 3 Series chassis tuning parameters, and another very important reason is that ZF is actually developing a new generation of 3 Series chassis for BMW

And this new generation of 3 series chassis is likely to become the vane of the chassis of the compact model in the future, especially the electronic power steering system they designed and produced, in a few years, this power system will soon become popular, obsolete, now widely popular mechanical hydraulic is power steering...,

ZF not only designed and produced the chassis for BMW's Heart 3 Series, but also included a new generation of electronic power steering, as well as a shock absorption system and a gearbox, all of which were designed by ZF

This time, if you don't want it, you will definitely want enough

The gearbox designed and developed by ZF for BMW's new 3 Series is not worth it, but Jin Xiaoqiang is still very concerned about the chassis and steering system

The chassis needs to design parameters, and the steering system is actually not difficult to copy, but the difficult thing is that ZF has tuned the parameters of this steering system, which is also very important

Because it is an electronic power steering system, this will have a great impact on the relationship between people and the car, so it is necessary to figure out the tuning problem of this electronic power assist system

BMW's negotiator did not give himself a positive answer today, but Jin Xiaoqiang believes that soon they will figure out their gains and losses, and it will be a matter of time before they agree to their conditions

Anyway, ZF is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMW, they are just a BMW shareholding company that depends on BMW for survival, so they lose something, and BMW will never mind

And even if ZF does not agree to the conditions proposed by Huayang Power, I am afraid they will have no room for bargaining, after all, BMW will definitely help their side to persuade ZF, and ZF does not seem to have any resistance to BMW

After all, if it weren't for BMW, then ZF might fall from the throne of the world's three largest drivetrain suppliers in an instant (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation)
