Zhao Nailin, general manager of BAIC, Chen Xulin, and Feng Xiantang, deputy general managers, came to Bincheng, they visited Bincheng Automobile Company, and made an overall investigation on the supply of auto parts of this company.

The results of the survey surprised the three of them, and they did not expect that Binqi already had a complete auto parts supply chain. The design, development, production and deployment of parts for this automotive company are very complete.

Huang Zhaoluan, the factory director, also introduced to them that 80% of Binqi's auto parts are produced by Dongxing Group's subordinate enterprises, and Dongxing also supplies auto parts to another automobile company, Harbin Automobile, these small and medium-sized suppliers rely on Dongxing and the two major automobile groups, and have formed a complete supporting system, with an annual production of 700,000 sets of auto parts.

Zhao Nailin and others were very shocked, usually they always thought that the automobile production in Bincheng was also a large number of pieces to assemble the form, but the actual situation is not the case, Huang Zhaoluan introduced to them that over the years, Dongxing has relied on large investment, large construction, to create large-scale benefits, and improve the auto parts processing system.

Dongxing has purchased a lot of advanced parts production lines from abroad, acquired technology patents, cooperated with domestic and foreign developments, and developed them themselves, forming a set of advanced models for the development of the automobile industry.

Zhao Nailin and others feel that this is completely different from BAIC's current reliance on AMC's capital and technology, and it can be said that Dongxing's automobile industry has really grown.

Of course, the trio were not only shocked, but also felt the urgency of time. After a few days of research and first-hand information, they came to Dongxing Group and met Lin Qiangsheng.

Zhao Nailin said straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, we are here this time to strengthen cooperation with Dongxing Group, and hope that Dongxing will participate in the localization project of Cherokee. At the same time, we also have a reluctant request, several models designed by Mr. Lin are selling well in China, and we hope that you can participate in BAIC's second-generation military vehicle research and development project! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said happily: "No problem, Vice Minister Shi of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has already come before you." He briefed me on BAIC's progress, and I hope to help you in the localization of Cherokee. As for the joint development of the second generation of military vehicles, there is no problem with this, and I will provide you with technical support. ”

For the behind-the-scenes boss of AMC, Zhao Nailin and others still have a lot of puzzlement, the previous contact they met with AMC were all foreigners, and the sudden emergence of a Chinese boss made the three of them very unaccustomed.

Zhao Nailin said: "I think Mr. Lin and your Dongxing Group are not only participating in the localization and development of the second generation of military vehicles, but also helping AMC Company, which is also of great benefit to your company." As far as we know, Dongxing has a very complete auto parts production system, which is of great help to the localization of Cherokee! ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "But if you want to develop Cherokee parts, you still have to take time to develop. ”

Chen Xulin said: "Actually, Mr. Lin can completely simplify this process, isn't AMC yours, just take the technology of the Americans and produce it directly." ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said, "But I also have to take into account the feelings of AMC, but it is not as simple as Mr. Chen said." And now I think the agreement reached between the two sides is very good, 12,500 cars in 5 years, a total cooperation of 120 million US dollars, and an investment budget of more than 60 million US dollars, which is very reasonable. ”

Zhao Nailin had no intention of arguing with Lin Qiangsheng, after all, an agreement had been reached between BJC and AMC, he nodded and said: "We still look forward, this time we hope to reach a project cooperation agreement with Dongxing Group on behalf of BAIC and formulate a localization goal." The superiors gave us five years, but I think that we should complete the localization as early as possible, and we can't wait for the five-year cooperation to be completed temporarily, and three years is still more appropriate. ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "I agree with this, while importing parts for assembly, BAIC should also strengthen the development of localized parts, I think it is almost the same in three years, and an agreement can be reached." ”

Then he smiled and said, "However, let's not talk about any agreement yet, I want you to see something!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng picked up the microphone and made a phone call: "Drive those two big guys to the headquarters!" ”

Zhao Nailin and the others looked at each other, and walked out of the office with Lin Qiangsheng with doubts and went downstairs.

It didn't take long to wait, two huge and unique off-road vehicles drove in from outside the gate, one blue-gray, one army green, two off-road vehicles with tall bodies, majestic front faces, two round headlights embedded in the left and right square pallets, just looking at the front of the car was extremely shocking, and the three of them were very puzzled, what kind of model is this.

I saw that the roof part of the two off-road vehicles, the headlights around and the bottom edge of the covering parts are painted in black, using 16-inch gear-like steel wheels, equipped with tires with good off-road performance, and a pair of full-size spare tires hanging from the tail, it is really a veritable off-road vehicle!

Zhao Nailin and the three of them were very shocked, they couldn't stop looking at each other, Chen Xulin exclaimed in surprise: "This is an off-road vehicle, which brand is it?" ”

Zhao Nailin and Feng Xiantang also looked at Lin Qiangsheng, waiting for his answer.

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "This is the Land Rover Defender, the real second-generation off-road model we developed, not an SUV like the Cherokee. ”

Zhao Nailin looked at the two very large long-axle off-road vehicles and asked in surprise: "This car was developed by you yourself?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, this is a real military off-road vehicle, it is not only equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system, but also equipped with a central differential lock, with a 2.4L displacement of 122 horsepower and 360 Nm of peak torque, which is guaranteed to make you walk on the ground on any road." ”

Zhao Nailin said: "It's a diesel engine, why didn't I see black smoke? ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, we have introduced new technologies and new processes from Germany, of course, there is no black smoke of ordinary diesel engines, diesel engines are strong, suitable for the needs of military off-road vehicles, in addition, we have also installed an inertial power supercharger, which has increased the power by 15% and saved fuel by 3~5%, which has obvious effects on improving power, reducing fuel consumption, reducing exhaust temperature and exhaust smoke concentration." ”

"You guys can make such an advanced off-road vehicle, I want to drive a lap, how about it?" Zhao Nailin nodded again and again and said to Lin Qiangsheng.

"No problem, we can find a bigger venue." Lin Qiangsheng nodded, Zhao Nailin and others got into the car with great interest, and the two cars went out of the gate and drove directly west to the test site of the Dongxing Automobile Research Institute.

On the obstacle road, Zhao Nailin drove two off-road vehicles unimpeded, even if they encountered some muddy roads, they were not stumped, and the performance of the off-road vehicle was fully displayed in front of several people, so that they personally felt the strength of the Land Rover Defender.

Zhao Nailin drove a blue-gray guard, the simple and elegant interior gave him a very good feeling, although the car is huge, the weight of the car has reached 1.5 tons, but the actual driving does not feel very heavy, power steering and chassis are adjusted very comfortable.

Lin Qiangsheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Mr. Zhao, what do you think of this car?" ”

Zhao Nailin nodded and laughed and said, "It's great, I didn't expect you to be able to make such an advanced off-road vehicle." Alas, our BAIC is lagging behind! ”

He sighed a little that now the rising generation has caught up with BAIC, and it is still in the field of off-road vehicles that they are best at.

Zhao Nailin asked Lin Qiangsheng: "Mr. Lin, what is the purpose of you showing us this off-road vehicle?"

Regarding Zhao Nailin's doubts, Lin Qiangsheng directly gave the answer: "I think BAIC and Dongxing can cooperate in the production of this off-road vehicle, of course, if you want to develop the second-generation military off-road vehicle yourself, I can also help." But I still propose that we develop BAIC's second-generation car based on this Land Rover Defender, how about it? ”

Zhao Nailin was overjoyed, he pulled over the car and said: "This car is very good and does not need to be replaced, this car has very advanced technology and strong off-road ability, which is exactly what we need." If Dongxing can cooperate with BAIC on the basis of it, we are very welcome, and I will immediately inform Chairman Wu Zhongliang of this good news! ”

"Okay, no problem, I wish us a happy cooperation!" Lin Qiangsheng smiled and stretched out his hand, and shook Zhao Nailin heavily. (To be continued.) )
