Since the former Soviet Union, Russia's finishing industry was not very good, and at that time, because of the bipolar hegemony with the United States, the main examination was the heavy industry capacity of a country.
And the most important thing is that at that time, the main thing that was examined was the military industry, aerospace and other large-scale national-level equipment manufacturing capabilities that were not as good as consumption.
At that time, relying on the technology and drawings scavenged from Germany after World War II, the former Soviet Union could still compete with the Western bloc led by the United States, but the most important thing they ignored was the flow of talent
You must know that what the Americans stole from Germany at that time was not only technology and drawings, machines, but also a lot of talents who had served the Nazis, and it was precisely by virtue of the contributions of these talents that the Americans completed the technological take-off after World War II.
However, the former Soviet Union did not attach importance to these talents, but this is also the main reason why they later had shortcomings in technology, and even fell behind in the entire technical level.
After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, a large number of domestic talents have outflowed again, which has caused the current domestic finishing industry in Russia to fall behind again, and even pull further and further away from Western countries.
Although in 1983 of the last century, the Russians bought several high-precision CNC five-axis linkage machine tools from the short-sighted Japanese to improve the anti-surveillance capabilities of their submarines
However, they only bought four units at that time, and in the last century, the five-axis linkage machine tools at that time could not be compared with the current more advanced CNC machine tools.
At that time, when they bought machine tools from the Japanese, they also bought a large number of parts, but later because these machine tools were too expensive, and the Russians have not been able to understand the technology of such machine tools, so these machine tools can only be used by the state for military purposes, and other civilian aspects can not be taken into account.
Although these four machine tools from Toshiba made the finishing capacity of the former Soviet Union at that time rise sharply to a higher level, but because it could not be replicated on a large scale, coupled with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's domestic pattern was turbulent, although the former Soviet Union left Russia a very rich foundation, but after so many years of abandonment, Russia's machine tool processing industry can be said to be completely abandoned.
In these years, their production and processing capabilities were not even as good as those of the Celestial Empire.
A few years later, when Russia embarked on the road of rejuvenation, and became the world's largest consumer of radial drilling machines for ten consecutive years, they have always been weak in horizontal turning centers, and the large horizontal milling machines and machining centers they need have always relied on imports to solve the problem, and in 2010, their horizontal machine tool imports were as high as 10 billion US dollars......
As a person who has been engaged in automobile production and processing, and has dabbled in the knowledge of machine tools, how can Jin Xiaoqiang, who understands the development of machine tools in the world, not know this big business opportunity in Russia in the future.
At present, although his Huayang Seiko is not able to independently manufacture their own machine tools, their machine tool parts are blooming everywhere in the Celestial Empire, and they are very good to buy.
At present, although they are not able to produce the highest-level CNC five-axis linkage machine tools, they are estimated to be able to produce four-axis linkage or three-axis machine tools.
Moreover, the difficulty and cost of manufacturing these machine tools are much lower than the five-axis linkage of the top technology in the world.
You must know that in the current world, as far as the market is concerned, it is not necessarily the most advanced technology is the best, and cost performance is also a very important factor worth considering. …,
The key is why the products of the Celestial Empire were able to win the market and price all over the world so quickly.
Although the current economic situation in Russia is very good, not all companies and bosses are rich - they may not all be able to afford five-axis CNC machines.
When Huayang Seiko comes to Russia with those high-quality and inexpensive four-axis linkage or three-axis linkage machine tools, it will not necessarily be completely defeated by Mazak, Dawei, Amada, DMG and other old machine tool manufacturing companies.
And even if these machine tools can't be sold, Jin Xiaoqiang is not afraid, their Huayang power machine tool accessories, especially tools, but very brilliant, recently not only in the Celestial Empire famous, and even some overseas countries, contact them to ask whether their machine tools can be exported in large quantities.
It is believed that as long as they can maintain such quality, then after that these accessories will definitely be able to open the market in Russia.
In the past few days, Jin Xiaoqiang has been thinking about his trip to Russia, where Luo Gui has basically finalized some details of negotiations with the Russian side.
Huayang Power will cooperate with Gorky Automobile Manufacturing Group and AvtoVAZ Automobile Manufacturing Group at the same time.
The cooperation with Gorky is mainly to produce all models of the Emotion series, and the cooperation with AvtoVAZ is to cooperate with the most popular Tough Guy series of off-road vehicles in Russia.
In the beginning, they will adopt the CKD cooperation model of component assembly, and produce important auto parts such as engines and transmissions in Nanyang, and then transport them to Russia.
And the Gorky Group, as well as the AvtoVA Group, will come out of the field, workers, as well as the assembly workshop, and the production line to assemble the new car.
The body of the new car, as well as other unimportant components, will be produced in Russia.
In fact, compared with the domestic production of vehicles, the cost of such a joint venture will not be much lower than that of only domestic production, after all, the labor in Russia is much higher than that in China, and it is also responsible for long-distance transportation, transporting parts such as powertrains to assembly companies.
All in all, the cost is a little higher than that in China.
But in the end, the benefits of the joint venture with these two Russian state-owned enterprises are quite significant, first of all, in terms of tax rates.
Moreover, after becoming a joint venture, it will also enjoy a variety of preferential policies in Russia, and in the end, if it is converted, it is still such a way of cooperation, which is more cost-effective.
Generally speaking, if policy factors are taken into account, it will not be a loss to cooperate with these two Russian state-owned enterprises.
You must know that although Russia is now the "democrat" of the country, it is not a politically clear country, and in this country, corruption problems such as collusion between officials and businessmen and accepting bribes are still very serious.
Moreover, Russia's police system is rotten to the roots, and it does not dare to do anything to its own citizens, but it is very powerful when dealing with foreigners, especially against enterprises and businessmen from the Celestial Empire.
In the past, every time Huayang Power shipped goods to Russia and transported cars to European cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg, the transport convoy would be intercepted by police inspectors to ask for bribes.
Don't underestimate the bribery solicitation of these police inspectors, this way has to travel thousands of kilometers and cross more than a dozen continents, and along the way, the cost of just asking for travel expenses is not a few.
Now after the joint venture with these two state-owned enterprises in Russia, I believe that there should be no more unsightly police inspectors looking for trouble.
Of course, these are the benefits of joint ventures with these two state-owned enterprises in Russia, and of course, Huayang Power also needs to pay a certain price. …,
For example, they will transfer certain technologies to the two Russian car manufacturers five years after the launch of the CKD cooperation model.
For example, the double overhead camshaft engine used in their Yidong models, as well as turbo matching technology, as well as variable valve timing technology, etc., are currently relatively mainstream technologies in the world.
This kind of technology, at present, in the international and domestic point of view, has gradually fallen behind, but if it is taken to Russia, such technology is definitely a good thing.
As for the higher-level ECBOOST technology, as well as dual-clutch transmissions and other technologies, the Russians are very shrewd and do not touch on them at all, because they know that if they are greedy for such technology, they will definitely be ruthlessly rejected and humiliated.
They also talked about the issue of wanting to introduce automatic transmission technology, but on this issue, Luo Gui, who was instructed by Jin Xiaoqiang, wanted it very close, and there was no way to pay a price.
You must know the problem of automatic transmission, the Japanese, Americans, and Germans have been stuck in the neck of the Celestial Empire for a long time with this technology, if it weren't for Jin Xiaoqiang's breakthrough, even seven years later, they couldn't make any breakthroughs.
It's time for the Russians to taste the smell of being stuck in the neck.
The reason why the engine technology can be transferred, but the technology of the automatic transmission cannot be transferred, Jin Xiaoqiang also has his own judgment and reasons.
Because relatively speaking, the technology of the engine is relatively easy to break through and imitate, but the problem of automatic transmission is complicated, just the wiring layout of the complex hydraulic oil pipe in the transmission, as well as the gear, the type of special material steel used, if no one tells you, you may have to explore it for several years.
Not to mention the layout of the sensors required in it, as well as the design of the hydraulic system, so even if the Russians get the transmission and can disassemble it, it can't be copied.
And the Russians, like the Celestial Empire, are also not ranked first in the world in terms of the design and manufacture of hydraulic systems!
If there is no Jin Xiaoqiang, I am afraid that up to now, the transmission R&D and manufacturing industry of the Celestial Empire may still be in a blank situation.
And Russia, it's a pity that they don't have Jin Xiaoqiang!. )
