Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!

"This afternoon, Huayang Power and another self-service private car company in China, Liji Group, reached an agreement, in the next three years, Huayang Power will develop a new car for Liji Group, and Huayang Power will provide a new 4-speed automatic transmission for the new LJ1.8 engine developed by Liji Group...... Please see the detailed report of this station below......"

Time slowly came to the end of October, and on the last day of October, the news express program of the Imperial Court Station once again reported an important news, Huayang Power and Liji Group cooperated.

During this time, Jin Xiaoqiang had been busy with Dr. Herris and had not paid much attention to other projects, but it was during this time that Lidge suddenly accelerated the negotiation with their company's negotiation team and made concessions in many details.

Originally, Jin Xiaoqiang expected the negotiation work to be completed before New Year's Day, but it was completed at the end of October and early November, two months earlier than originally expected.

Originally, Wang Jiao was the main person in charge of negotiations for this cooperation, but because Wang Jiao recently went to negotiate with GM, the main person in charge of this negotiation became another vice president of the company.

Fortunately, the vice president, who was originally in this negotiation team, is also familiar with the cooperation with Liji, after taking over the negotiation work, the vice president is also conscientious, but I didn't expect that there were some details of the dispute with the immediate side, Liji would make such a big concession, and quickly agreed to the conditions of Huayang Power.

This also made Jin Xiaoqiang feel a little surprised, it seems that it was the performance of Huayang Power in Frankfurt this time that deeply stimulated the Liji side, so that they made a judgment on the situation in the shortest possible time, so they made certain concessions in some aspects.

The signing ceremony of this cooperation was held at the headquarters of Huayang Power, and the reporters who came to interview were also found by Huayang Power and Liji Group.

The standard of this cooperation signing ceremony is very high, and Brother Shufu, the boss of Liji, flew to Nanyang from Zhejiang to meet Jin Xiaoqiang in person.

Originally, Brother Shufu also went to participate in the Frankfurt Motor Show, but at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the biggest star of the Celestial Empire was Huayang Power, so Brother Shufu's limelight was not obvious.

And both sides are well-informed figures, especially Brother Shufu, who has many other companies under his name, so after appearing on the day of the Frankfurt Motor Show, Brother Shufu returned to China, so Jin Xiaoqiang was also very sorry when he was in Frankfurt, and he couldn't meet this doer who has always admired him in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Brother Fu, who was very interested in this cooperation, actually flew to Nanyang in person, and met with Jin Xiaoqiang the day before the press conference between the two sides.

Both of them are doers with stronger practical surnames, so this talk is very appetizing, although in terms of grade, Jin Xiaoqiang is much younger than Brother Shufu, but it does not prevent the two from appreciating each other, and even became a year-old friend.

This time, the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, and Ligi Group will pay Huayang Power 20 million yuan for Huayang Power to match the power of its newly developed 1.8 and 1.6 engines with 4AT transmissions.

In fact, Liji Group entered the automotive industry earlier than Huayang Power, and Shufu is also a visionary, since entering the automobile market, he has never given up his team's investment in research and development.

After a few years of public relations, they finally developed their own engine, in fact, if it weren't for the Huayang Power led by Jin Xiaoqiang suddenly appeared, according to the original history, the most popular among today's independent car companies in the Celestial Empire should be Liji Group.

At this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, they brought three new cars, all of which were independently developed by them, that is, King Kong, Vision series, which was once sold in the Celestial Empire.

Originally, if the original historical trajectory was followed, these cars would have brought very rich benefits to Liji Group, but because of the sudden appearance of Huayang Power and a series of high-tech and low-price products, in the current years, Liji's cars have performed very well in the market.

They developed low-end products, the technical content of the powertrain was originally very low, and the automatic transmission was not very passable, and the model was compared with several models launched by Huayang Power, it was a heaven and an underground.

Therefore, although they have won a certain number of consumers by relying on their low selling prices, on the whole, their sales performance has made the profits of Liji Group much less than the original history.

And this time at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Huayang Power was once again in the limelight, and Brother Shufu, the boss of Liji Group, was greatly stimulated after returning to China to see the news.

He was originally a determined and courageous doer, and at the original time, Liji might still be a little unconvinced by Huayang Power.

After all, in terms of background and qualifications, they are much older than Huayang Power in the automotive industry of the Celestial Empire, and when they first produced cars, they still hung the name of the state-owned brand Huapu.

However, after experiencing the Beijing Motor Show and the Frankfurt Motor Show in a row, they finally recognized the gap between themselves and Huayang Power.

Huayang has such a demonic figure as Jin Xiaoqiang, who is almost continuously launching new cars and new high-tech powertrains, and they have been far behind in terms of research and development.

At this time, if you don't catch up, you can only be pulled farther and farther away in the future, and even in the automobile market, you can only be reduced to a role that does not enter the stream.

Although their general manager reached some verbal agreements with Jin Xiaoqiang at the Beijing Auto Show, in fact, in his heart, Liji Group did not mean to guard against Huayang Power.

After all, they must have concerns about cooperating in the field of engines and inviting Jin Xiaoqiang of Huayang Power to help design new models.

But after the Frankfurt Motor Show, Brother Shufu quickly made a decision, that is, to get in touch with Huayang Power as soon as possible and start cooperation.

After all, when Liji Group first entered the automobile market, it was a waste of all its efforts, and finally relied on the method of cutting first and then playing to obtain the consent of the above.

And Brother Shufu also knows that in fact, their Liji Group is not particularly popular with the people above, there is no advantage in technology, and no one is waiting to see in the relationship, if you don't hold a big thick leg now, I am afraid that the Liji Group will soon be removed from the automobile industry of the Celestial Empire in the future.

So as soon as he was ruthless, he told his negotiation team to speed up the negotiation with Huayang Power, and some details of the original can now be put aside for the time being.

After all, in terms of scientific research strength and technology accumulation shown by Huayang Power, people have already thrown off their own two streets, and it is impossible for others to have plans for themselves in terms of technology.

If you still have to pick words with others on the details, it is likely to anger the negotiation team of Huayang Power and terminate the cooperation negotiations, which will outweigh the losses.

That's why this collaboration was successful.

However, the first test plan of this cooperation is that Huayang Power will first take out their 4AT and match it with the engine of Liji Group.

In this way, as long as it is successful, then the Ligi Group can launch new car series, enrich its own production line, and then make a fuss about the price and occupy a certain market.

Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang also knows what Liji means, he is born from the same root, and of course he does not intend to get stuck in Liji's neck in this regard.

And in the previous life, a major weakness of Tianchao Automobile is the automatic transmission, and now its own Huayang Power has become the only company in Tianchao that has complete independent intellectual property rights and has the ability to produce hydraulic automatic transmissions.

And the most important thing is that even if they help the Ligi Group to match the transmission, then in the end they still have to buy the automatic transmission from their own side.

After all, the current Ligi Group does not have the ability to produce automatic transmissions independently.

This hydraulic automatic transmission seems simple, but the production of the hydraulic oil pipeline inside, even after ten years, has always been an obstacle in front of the independent car companies of the Celestial Empire.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang is not afraid of Liji Group, and after learning his own three-plate axe, he will take it back and directly copy his own products.

After this project, if Liji is satisfied with the results of this initial cooperation, they will directly hand over their new car research and development plan to Huayang Power, and Jin Xiaoqiang will be responsible for helping them design a new flagship car for the low-end market.

Since the other party has shown such a posture, Jin Xiaoqiang is also very happy, because in his opinion, in this way, the Emgrand EC7 that Liji Group is proud of in the future will be born from his own hands.

This can be regarded as a small compensation for Liji, after all, in fact, the main series engine of 1.8DVVT they are using now is actually a mature product of Jin Xiaoqiang's copycat Liji Group a few years later.

Liji Group and Huayang Power reached a cooperation agreement, and the two sides also announced in a high-profile manner that they would develop a new car after the year, which quickly attracted the attention of people after it was broadcast on the news express......
