*******************

Of course, this idea and proposal was brought up by Li Yifan and him.

However, Zhou Yuanchao is a person who can be a man, in his previous life, he was also like this, and he was recruited by Chery, and he also poached many people from DSI.

In the end, he also became the top officer of Chery's power transmission department, and he was able to achieve such a high status in a state-owned enterprise, and left his own strong mark in the field of automatic transmission research in China, which shows this person's ability.

It's just that at that time, he was not as bold as he is now, because Chery didn't have such courage at that time, after all, they didn't know that DSI would go out of business in two years, so they didn't dare to directly take DSI's transmission and reverse research and development, and then change their heads.

After all, they had to worry about patents, so they turned their attention to the research and development of CVT transmissions, and it took them six years to finally drum up their own CVT transmissions.

It can be regarded as a breakthrough in the field of domestic automatic transmissions, but the efficiency of their CVT transmissions is not as good as Nissan's Jetco, and there are many small flaws.

And after Li Yifan found Zhou Yuanchao, he made it clear to him that his company would have to fight on multiple fronts in the future, and the requirements would be more flowering.

As a person who has come over, Li Yifan is well aware of the development trend of the future automobile industry, and in the future six-speed automatic transmission. It will become a leading leader in the field of automotive automatic transmissions.

But other automatic transmissions did not dare to die weak. For example, the CVT transmission represented by Jetco. There is also a dual-clutch transmission represented by Volkswagen, which has a considerable market share in the field of automatic transmissions.

And these transmissions also have their own merits.

In terms of smoothness of shifting and fuel-saving performance, the best performance is the CVT transmission, but unfortunately, this transmission is always in reliability. and aggressive driving has an unavoidable disadvantage.

Dual-clutch transmissions, on the other hand, are inferior to CVT transmissions in terms of smoothness and fuel economy, but they are much more reliable than CVT and AT transmissions in terms of coping with intense driving.

The largest market share is the six-speed hydraulic automatic transmission, although in terms of shift smoothness and fuel economy, his performance is not as good as the first two, but in terms of reliability has the first two incomparable advantages, so this is also the main reason why he can occupy the largest share of this market.

And Li Yifan's insistence on flowering more means that he will not bet all his treasures on the six-speed automatic transmission.

Because he knows. With the current R&D capabilities of Huaguo personnel, we want to continue to move forward in a higher level. It must be that there is little hope, after all, the six-speed automatic transmission, expanding to the eight-speed automatic transmission, will face a lot of patent obstacles.

And it is impossible to keep up so quickly in terms of design and research and development, so the six-speed automatic transmission, for Li Yifan, already means a limit in the field of hydraulic automatic transmission.

But on the other hand, with the improvement of material science and the change of design ideas, Li Yifan knows that there is still a lot to be done in these two transmissions.

Therefore, he plans to make efforts in the research and development of these two transmissions.

So he gave Zhou Yuanchao a task, that is, to bring as many people as possible to Australia for training, so that our domestic designers can get in touch with how modern design studios operate as soon as possible.

And then bring these people back to form their own design studio, and those Australian designers are willing to come to work in China when the time comes, Li Yifan of course doesn't mind giving them the opportunity to pay well, if they don't want to, of course, they can get out after completing the work in front of them.

Zhou Yuanchao did not object to Li Yifan's plan, but he was still a little repulsed in his heart.

However, when he thought about the assurance that Li Yifan could give him, especially the capital investment in research and development, as well as the plan for more flowering in the future, he was still moved and finally agreed.

As a scientific researcher in the field of transmission, Zhou Yuanchao certainly knows the current scientific research trend in the field of automatic transmissions in the world.

In the past, the highest-end automatic transmission was the six-speed automatic transmission led by Toyota, Toyota used this transmission in its own Lexus model, and then Mercedes-Benz and BMW couldn't sit still, so ZF also developed a six-speed automatic transmission, and the performance is better than Aisin's.

But their six-speed automatic transmissions, Mercedes and BMW can afford to use them, but Volkswagen can't.

So Volkswagen had to turn to Toyota, and finally bought a six-speed automatic transmission from Aisin Seiko.

After the results were installed in their mid-size cars, and after their mid-size cars entered the market at a low price, this caused panic among the Japanese.

In the end, the Japanese simply cut off the supply to the public, which made the public angry and began to turn around and develop the dual clutch.

And the dual-clutch is actually not a new thing, some people played it as early as the last century, but because of the shortcomings that cannot be solved such as overheating in the gearbox, it has become a chicken rib later.

Now that Volkswagen has picked it up again and claims to have made a breakthrough, this has aroused the interest of many people who study transmissions.

After all, in terms of mechanical structure, the dual-clutch has advantages over hydraulic automatic transmissions in terms of smoothness and fuel-saving performance.

When he was at DSI, he had long wanted to conduct research in this area, but because the company had been operating poorly and did not give them research funds, he had no choice but to seal the plan.

Now that Li Yifan promised to give him funds and promised to give him the best conditions, how could Zhou Yuanchao still refuse Li Yifan's request?

Therefore, although some of Li Yifan's demands, in his opinion, were excessive, they were the expression of the thinking of some nouveau riche and small farmers, but in the end he still compromised.

After resigning from Australia, he initially followed Anne Lee's people everywhere, looking for a suitable place to use as a studio.

Then he brought someone over to work, but fortunately, Li Yifan asked Li Annie's people to help him prepare legal affairs and all the management regulations of the studio, otherwise he would not be able to do it if he was a pure technician to run a studio.

The major shareholder behind this studio is, of course, Li Yifan's vest company, and everyone is very satisfied with this working environment.

After explaining the new work tasks, everyone did not object, and the company gradually got on the right track, Zhou Yuanchao returned to China non-stop.

Yang Rong used to pay attention to the company's technical reserves when he was in Chenhua Automobile, and he also knew that automatic transmission is a short board in the domestic automotive industry. 、

Therefore, he also specially reserved a lot of technical talents in this area, some of these people are just graduated college students recruited from universities, and some are professionals poached from other automobile companies, with a total of more than 200 people inside and outside.

Even he specially introduced a set of 4AT patents from Mitsubishi, but it is an old technology, without the function of manual integration, just the simplest 4AT.

In the original world, this transmission was also used in Zunchi models.

However, due to the unsatisfactory sales of Zunchi cars and the manufacturing cost of this set of equipment, this technology gradually declined.

After all, in another year, the five-speed automatic manual transmission will be popularized on the market, and the four-speed automatic has no manual automatic function, and you don't want to sell it at a low price, which makes the positioning of this transmission very embarrassing.

Later, the six-speed automatic manual transmission was popularized, and this automatic transmission was even more silent.

But the key is the people he found, which is key for Zhou Yuanchao to organize his own team.

Before Li Yifan took over the Chenhua Automobile, some people in this department felt that the future was hopeless, some chose to resign and change jobs, and some chose to retire, and when Zhou Yuanchao took over the department, there were more than 100 people left.

Zhou Yuanchao held several meetings with these people, and then felt that these people were not bad, although their character was not clear, but in terms of technical ability, they were not bad.

So he doesn't plan to recruit new people recently, after all, he doesn't have that energy, he just wants to keep these people first, and then train them well, as the main force of the company's power transmission department in the future, and it is also his foundation.

At this time, Li Yifan got a lot of technical information from Saab, Saab's automatic transmission technology may not be the best in the world, but it is also very unique.

In particular, their automatic transmissions can work with turbocharged engines, which makes them known for their responsiveness and ability to withstand high torque.

The most important thing is that these automatic transmissions from Saab are still the most mainstream five-speed automatic manual transmissions on the market, you must know that such transmissions, even after a few years, are also usable in the domestic market.

This made Zhou Yuanchao feel very happy, so he divided the people in the power transmission department into several groups, some young potential young people, he took them to Australia for training, and some of the people who stayed behind were to digest and absorb these technologies from Saab as quickly as possible.

Of course, there will be a year in this, and then everyone will organize a rotation, and then he will also select some excellent people to continue to train according to the work status of these two groups of people in their respective places during this time, and those who do not perform well will be eliminated.

And his management mechanism has also greatly activated the enthusiasm of this department! (To be continued......)
