Three days later, when Jin Xiaoqiang sat in the first-class cabin of the plane to Moscow, he looked at the contract signed with Bosch in his hand, and he didn't mention the pride in his heart.
Fearing the loss of a partner with great potential such as Huayang Power, Bosch finally agreed to open up part of the ECU database for Huayang Power, which includes the ECU database that they have designed specifically for all the models of Huayang Power, as well as the database of some other undeveloped models.
Of course, these models are the database of some models owned by Volkswagen, and Volkswagen has always used Bosch's ECU, and the database of many Volkswagen's models is developed by Bosch.
Bosch has always done a good job in this regard, but in terms of supply, Volkswagen has not put forward any hard agreement on Bosch's side, such as that the data cannot be sold to other companies.
After all, if Volkswagen makes such a request, it may completely offend Bosch, after all, it is not only Volkswagen that buys ECUs from Bosch, but also many other European companies.
And Bosch is not a fool, of course, they will not take out the ECU data originally provided to Volkswagen, and buy it directly, of course, they will make some changes to the database based on Volkswagen's ECU data according to the needs of their customers' models.
For example, the data they once provided to Volkswagen's Polo, they have changed and changed, and sold countless copies, and now the ECU database used on the Octavia model in Hwayangdong is a revision of the ECU database of Volkswagen's Polo.
This time, Bosch once again played a side game, and they plan to make certain modifications to the database of some models developed by Volkswagen and provide it to Huayang Power again.
Moreover, Huayang Power is not limited to the database of ordinary cars, and they have also put forward some technical support requirements for trucks to Bosch.
Of course, Bosch was overjoyed by such an act of reciprocation, and they did not know that Huayang Power had previously used turbine cooling engine oil and gearbox cooling engine oil in exchange for certain truck technology from Volkswagen.
And Huayang Power in exchange for these technologies, has been silent, Jin Xiaoqiang in the Volkswagen technology transfer, let Fang Wenshan organize the Truck Engineering College, has been quietly researching and tackling truck projects, but after all, building trucks, and making cars, but two completely different things.
Even if they start on the shoulders of great men, it will take two to three years at the earliest to see the results.
So in order to keep it secret, Jin Xiaoqiang has been keeping their truck project a secret, and has not taken it out to publicize it too early, so as not to attract the attention of competitors in the market.
Therefore, there are really not many people in the market who know that Huayang Power intends to enter the truck market, but this time there are open and honest negotiations with Bosch, and after Bosch has made considerable concessions, Jin Xiaoqiang also intends to have a heart-to-heart with the other party.
After all, today's trucks are no longer the purely mechanical trucks of a few decades ago, and the electronic automation system is more and more widely used in trucks.
Therefore, the requirements for the ECU and control system of trucks are becoming more and more powerful, and the manufacturing industry of the Celestial Empire is also a complete shortcoming in this regard, just like cars.
Although our self-produced trucks can also achieve some automation, most of them are still relatively primitive pure mechanical, or semi-automatic products, so that in terms of work efficiency and other people's products, it is almost not half a chip, but far from it. …,
Bosch is not only researching ECU systems for cars, but also has a set of ECU data development for large trucks and diesel direct injection common rail systems used in large trucks.
Now that the other party has shown sincerity and plans to share the database with his side, why not take the opportunity to add some weight to Bosch's side and give them some sweetness.
Sure enough, after this fragrant bait was thrown out by Jin Xiaoqiang during the negotiation, Bosch's attitude immediately changed again.
You must know that before, they were very reluctant to open their ECU database to Huayang Power, if it weren't for the fear that Huayang Power would be snatched away by Delphi and they would lose a big customer with huge growth potential, they would not have paid attention to Huayang Power's idea, and it was obviously impossible to open the database.
But in the end, he was restrained by the agreement between Huayang Power and Delphi, so he reluctantly opened part of his database, and Bosch at that time was not angry with Huayang Power and Jin Xiaoqiang.
But after Jin Xiaoqiang threw out the database of truck ECUs, procurement and joint research and development, the head of negotiations at Bosch was boiling again.
Is this Nima still good?
You must know that over the years, the rapid development of the economy of the Celestial Empire is not only reflected in the number of cars, but also in the construction of the logistics industry and highways.
The increase of highways means the development of the logistics industry, and the development of the logistics industry requires more large trucks.
In the past few years, Scania has cooperated with Volvo and other heavy-duty truck companies and large truck manufacturers in the Celestial Empire, but they have made a lot of money, which is very clear to Bosch, which specializes in providing truck ECUs to the two companies, as well as engine parts technical support.
But Scania and Volvo, what is the level of technology they get to cooperate with the Celestial Empire, Bosch is also clear, they get the Celestial Empire to go to the technology that is one or even two generations behind Europe, but even so, their products are still sold in the Celestial Empire, special sales.
And what is the role of Huayang Power, from the performance of their entry into the family passenger car market, they are the kind of consistent disruptor, whenever they enter a market, they will use more advanced technology than their opponents, or the highest level of technology, and then with a price lower than their competitors, the market is turned upside down.
And they now have a very good reputation in the Celestial Empire and even in the world, I believe that as long as they enter the truck market, they will definitely turn the truck market of the Celestial Empire upside down.
You must know that the price of trucks is not cheap, especially large trucks, and there is that kind of special engineering vehicles, and now the Celestial Empire will soon enter the era of real estate brokerage, and once this era comes, then the demand for special engineering vehicles will definitely soar.
The price of this special engineering vehicle is definitely not cheap, and the price of a casual one can be worth the price of an ordinary luxury car, and the profit margin in this is very considerable.
Therefore, if you can catch the train of Huayang Power this time, Bosch will definitely make a lot of money at that time.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with agreeing to their request before, Huayang Power and that Jin Xiaoqiang still have a conscience.
When the senior executives of Bosch saw Jin Xiaoqiang again, they realized that this guy's hateful face could now become so cute. …,
And the main reason for such a big change is, of course, because of the huge contract that this guy is waving.
Originally, Bosch was still a little reserved and twisted, but after learning that Huayang Power planned to enter the truck market, he immediately said nothing.
Okay, since you Huayang Power is so sincere, then our old morality is not ambiguous, don't you want us to open the ECU database, no problem, by the way, do you want the ESP database?
And we heard that after signing a contract with Delphi, you and the other party set up a data research and development center in the Celestial Empire that specializes in adapting ECUs for your automobile production?
Well, since we are all such close partners now, you Huayang Power can't favor one over the other, right?
We at Bosch also need to set up such a database development center with you, and other conditions, as well as the principle of benefit distribution, can be exactly the same as Delphi.
But there is one difference, that is, our data center develops not only the ECU data of automobiles, but also the data of the heavy trucks you are developing, and this kind of cooperation must be exclusive to us Bosch, and you cannot cooperate with other companies in Huayang Power.
For such exclusivity, Bosch is even willing to pay a greater price, such as the TCU database of the gearbox of heavy trucks, which can be opened to you, and even the TCU database of the gearbox of some cars can also be opened to you.
Moreover, our Bosch engineers can also teach your engineers how to let the ECU of the driving computer complete the matching of engine data and transmission data.
But the premise is such cooperation, we must sign a long-term cooperation contract of 20 years, and in the future, if you Huayang Power sells to buy a model that uses the technology produced by our cooperative research institute, you must give us half of the profits of ECU and TCU......
For such a request from Bosch, how could Jin Xiaoqiang not agree, you must know that with such technical support from Bosch, it means that the electronic engineers of Huayang Power can grow up rapidly, and Huayang Power's exploration in this area will at least save them tens of billions of dollars
