Chapter 138: Assignment and Building (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for recommendations! Ask for a tip! )
"Mr. Toyoda, what's wrong with you?" An employee saw that the body of the chairman of Toyota was trembling slightly, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Eiji Toyoda glanced at the employee, shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing." Then he glanced back at Lin Qiangsheng and his engine, and whispered melancholy: "It's just that we're one step slower!" ”
A 66-year-old man experienced World War II, the Korean War, and Japan's economic miracle, and personally created Toyota, which produced tens of millions of cars. Eiji Toyoda can see anything, even Toyota is secretly researching valve timing technology, and when a breakthrough is about to be made, someone else will take the lead.
His excitement is mostly because this technology was not first proposed by the Japanese, but by a Chinese, a country that does not have a car industry today! This huge contrast made him think he had auditory hallucinations for a while.
Lin Qiangsheng tried his best to answer some reporters' questions, but did not mention any technical details. He believes that many car companies have already noticed this technology and are working on it.
However, Lin Qiangsheng has taken the lead in registering patents, and he will also register patents for some derivative technologies. Such as Honda's VTEC, Mitsubishi's VEC, Nissan's VVEL, BMW's Valvetronic, Audi's AVS, Fiat's Multiair, Ford's VCT, Kia's CVVT, and what DVVT, BMW's stepless valve timing.
These technologies will be tested in the research institute one after another, and then they will preemptively register technology patents. In the future, the auto giants will either exchange technology patents or technology licensing, which will be very beneficial to themselves!
In later generations, Qualcomm charged a patent fee of about 5% of the price of each mobile phone using its Snapdragon processor, and a domestic mobile phone of 2,000 yuan had to pay a patent fee of about 100 yuan. If 10 million units are sold, it will be 1 billion yuan in famous coins.
Today, Toyota alone produces 3 million vehicles a year! What's more, there are Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and even the giants of General Motors and Ford with an annual output of 10 million vehicles, and the total annual output of cars in the world is more than 100 million!
The valve timing technology was popularized in the 90s, if hundreds of millions of cars now use valve timing technology, it will bring great economic benefits to Lin Johnson!
$100 for a car. That's tens of billions of dollars! Thinking about the patent fees of more than 10 billion US dollars per year, Lin Qiangsheng trembled with excitement!
If you have a life to earn, you can do it!
As the director of the LS Institute, Stanley Jays asked him to take full responsibility for the day-to-day work of the Institute. Later, Lin Qiangsheng registered the Saturn Automobile Company and let Stanley Jacks serve as the general manager, for this company, Lin Qiangsheng planned to use it to promote valve timing technology first.
Stanley saw the boss's body trembling and asked in surprise, "Johnson, what's wrong with you?!" "These foreigners have a lot of names for Lin Qiangsheng, and some are named Qiao Sen. There's Lin, and there's Johnson.
Lin Qiangsheng calmed down his excited mood for a while, just now he imagined that the world's automobile giants were paying patent fees to themselves, and then thought of the means they might use to deal with themselves, under the double impact of excitement and fear, Lin Qiangsheng almost screamed.
Lin Qiangsheng calmed down and said, "Stanley! ”
"Yes, boss! I'm here! Stanley replied happily.
Lin Qiangsheng said to him excitedly: "Have you thought about it? If we license the valve timing technology to each car company. What a huge sum of money that would be charged! Every year, there will be countless amounts of money coming to us! ”
Stanley could really make people crazy when they thought about that kind of scene. But he is already a middle-aged man who is almost 40 years old. I still realize that this kind of thing seems impossible!
Therefore, Stanley had to remind Lin Qiangsheng: "Boss, that's indeed a lot of money!" You also have reason to get excited, but that's not possible! If we take money from every auto giant, there is a good chance that they will take measures against us. Either accuse us of monopoly, or make us disappear from the world! This is not impossible! ”
"Alas!" Lin Qiangsheng nodded silently.
I have to admit that Stanley was right, and he was too excited. It's not that Qualcomm has so much energy, so let's honestly see what technology can be exchanged for the auto giants. In order to build up their own patent base.
Mr. Lin asked the company's legal counsel to look for patents in response to the cooperation that the giants were seeking. However, he still wants to collect the patent fee first, and only consider the patent exchange as a last resort. The Americans are ok, others, NO!
At this event, Toyota, General Motors and other companies also showed their new cars, it is worth noting Cadillac's new SLS Saiwei II, this car is the world's first to use cylinder fuel saving technology, it is equipped with a new generation of Polaris 6.0 liters V8 engine is a sensation in the industry, its use of variable cylinder control zhì technology allows the engine to be freely converted in 8-cylinder, 6-cylinder and 4-cylinder working conditions according to the load.
Not only that, but the design of the sedan itself is also extremely exquisite, combining modern and classical art design style, making this luxury car with a body length of 5202 mm very elegant. Like its predecessors, the cabin is exquisitely crafted and finished with high-end materials to exude traditional American luxury, while electrically heated electrically adjustable mirrors, trip computers and electrically adjustable seats with memory function demonstrate the luxury concept of modern technology. There is also an aluminum alloy cylinder head used in the engine of this car, which is also very advanced technology.
For Lin Johnson, electric rearview mirrors, electric seats, and trip computers are all things he dreams of, and I wonder if Cadillac, which pursues the ultimate in technology, will seek cooperation to obtain valve timing technology. He knew that it was possible to obtain a computer system for driving, but he was afraid that the number in it would not be there.
But Lin Qiangsheng only scoffed at its variable cylinder fuel-saving technology. In his opinion, this technology has no practical use, at most it is just a gimmick to add to the car!
There are also Volvo's catalytic exhaust air purifiers and oxygen sensors, which reduce harmful exhaust emissions by up to 90 percent. There are also Saab's electrically heated seats and turbocharger technology.
Lin Qiangsheng ordered a Cadillac Saiwei II, with a wide body and luxurious interior and a new generation of 6-liter V8 engine, all of which are exciting!
This luxury car. Mr. Lin spent $22,000 and had to wait two months.
The valve timing technology used in the VISTA Vision brought by Lin Johnson & Johnson has also caused a huge sensation in the automotive industry and the media industry. Many car companies called to ask about cooperation, and they almost unanimously asked Lin Johnson to transfer technology.
For this reason, Johnson Lin, who had returned to New York, had to return to Detroit to negotiate with the representatives of these car companies to get the maximum return.
I want Lin Johnson to contribute in vain. It is not possible to transfer the technology directly. In this regard, Lin Qiangsheng's attitude is very tough, and he does not hesitate to release a signal that he will fight a lawsuit with major auto giants.
At the same time, he also released the news that he would cooperate with sincere automobile companies to exchange equivalent automotive technology patents.
For China's automotive industry, the history is too short. The development history of foreign automobiles for more than 100 years has accumulated a large number of technical patent barriers, and technical patents like this are all obstacles to the development of domestic automobiles.
After the attitudes of the major companies eased, Lin Qiangsheng handed over the matter to Stanley to deal with. Every transaction has to be agreed to by yourself!
Although Stanley is the general manager of the company, in the corporate culture of the United States, where owning shares and actually operating are separated, even if Stanley is a little disgusted with Lin Johnson's affairs, he also knows the importance of technology patents, and this kind of strategic decision that affects the future development of the company is still up to the boss to decide.
The construction of the new automobile plant in China has been completed, and the construction of the factory was completed in early December last year, and the construction is carried out in full accordance with Lin Qiangsheng's high-standard, intelligent and modern world-class factory.
Ben Cheng Automobile Factory and supporting enterprises and related facilities. The total investment is nearly 400 million yuan. The current exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar is 1.5, which is too special! Among them, Lin Johnson & Johnson invested 180 million US dollars. The matching funds of H Province are 60 million yuan.
The factory is located on the south bank of the Songhua River, the original factory facilities and family dormitories have been dismantled, the new plant covers a total area of 2.5 million square meters, with a planned annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles and 200,000 engines.
The new plant will have three vehicle production plants, three engine production plants, an in-house R&D center, and automotive plants.
The factory adopts international advanced automobile manufacturing equipment and technology. Introduce green, high-quality, modern construction factories, and take the lead in establishing the first large-scale intelligent factory with machine production lines in the country!
At the same time, in order to build an advanced factory in the new era, in terms of quality, the factory will introduce a variety of international advanced management systems to achieve full quality control. The introduction of world-class testing and testing equipment. Strict standards to ensure zero defects in production quality; In terms of building a modern factory, the Bincheng factory will be equipped with fully automated process equipment in the four major processes of stamping, welding, painting and final assembly to build a flexible production system.
In the new factory, Lin Qiangsheng resolutely introduced intelligence, with 100% automated productivity of metal sheet parts in the stamping workshop, 100% intelligent welding automation rate in the welding workshop, 100% automation rate of internal and external spraying in the painting workshop, 100% interchange rate of multi-model mixed line production in the final assembly workshop, and 100% automation rate of engine machining in the engine factory.
For these automation equipment, Lin Qiangsheng spent a lot of money! Comau also received a large order, and also undertook the outsourcing service of factory equipment integration, but the Italians were dismayed!
Lin Johnson & Johnson will also introduce PDI pre-sales inspection records before leaving the factory. In this way, there will be strict inspections during and after the manufacture of the vehicle.
At the same time, the factory will also effectively reduce energy consumption in the future, pay attention to cleaner production and environmental protection, and orderly realize the green emission and recycling of the three wastes.
After the construction of the factory was completed, Comau Italy began to settle in the Ben Cheng Automobile Plant to fulfill the agreement of operation training for the workers of the car factory.
At the same time, the first batch of more than 50 original factory workers were assigned the 120 square meters of usable area they dreamed of!
The residential building is completely designed in the new Bauhaus style, and the wide, long and large balcony can be placed vertically with two sets of wooden tables and chairs, and the whole balcony is enclosed in the room type. From the outside, the building is boxy, with no ugly balconies protruding.
When the workers saw that someone had divided the room, their eyes immediately turned red. But no one dared to make trouble, and the foreign side clarified the discipline of the factory, and those who did not obey were dealt with strictly and even expelled from the factory.
As a result, "going to work in separate buildings" has become a loud slogan for workers who are undergoing pre-job training! (To be continued......)
