Domestic automatic transmissions, after ten years, will not be able to be made, on the surface it is limited by three factors.

One of the most often mentioned is patents!

You must know that those European, American and Japanese ghost animals are not generally bad, an automatic hydraulic transmission often needs hundreds or thousands of parts, and they can apply for patents for all of these parts.

And when you produce, you often can't get around the patents of some parts, after all, many parts are drawn after thousands of tempers.

If you produce an imitation of one, you will be sued by their patent.

And the other two factors, one is the material, and the other is the machining accuracy.

In terms of materials, the gears, bearings, and other parts in the transmission often need to work continuously in a high-temperature and high-corrosion environment, so special materials must be used.

After all, materials science is the foundation of all scientific research, and in this regard, we have not been in place.

Large state-owned enterprises have money, talents, and conditions, but they just don't invest, after all, research and development materials, large investment, long cycle, and the leaders in charge are all political personnel, not scientific researchers.

They focus more on their political achievements during their tenure than on their scientific achievements.

Therefore, they prefer to buy with a short cycle, and when they buy, they can also eat rebates......

The machining accuracy is also a difficult problem that has been plaguing us, and if you want to ensure the working life and stability of the gearbox, you can't avoid this problem.

Don't say anything else. Just the hydraulic oil circuit above the hydraulic valve of a transmission. The twists and turns of the ravine. It is extremely difficult to process, but also to ensure accuracy, in the absence of qualified processing machine tools, this alone can be difficult to kill you.

Therefore, even after more than ten years, the production and processing of automatic transmissions has always been the main problem that plagues many domestic automobile companies.

But when you say it's difficult, it's not really difficult, it mainly depends on whether you have perseverance. Reluctant to invest.

This can be seen from the later generations of BYD, as a private automobile manufacturing enterprise, in order not to be stuck by foreign parts suppliers, in order to be able to compete with the domestic market rampant foreign automobile companies, they are gritting their teeth to increase investment and bury themselves in research and development.

What patents, what difficulties, what inputs, people don't care, everyone is willing to do it.

The result? In just a few years. They came up with their own dual-clutch transmission.

Volkswagen's people came to inspect it and came to the conclusion that it was this transmission. In fact, it is a copycat of our dual-clutch transmission, but some microstructures have been adjusted.

But so what? Did you see Volkswagen suing BYD?

FAW, which cooperated with Volkswagen, secretly used the 1.6 displacement engine used on Volkswagen's Santana 20 years ago, and Volkswagen did not hesitate to slap FAW's face.

But when it came to BYD's reverse-development of their dual-clutch transmission, they had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Because they know that if they sue BYD, they won't win at all, and people are willing to fight a lawsuit with you, and if you fight such a lawsuit in China, just like abroad, if there is no administrative interference from your superiors, people can fight with you for ten or eight years, or even ten or twenty years, and they may not be able to produce results.

So what about the trick of jamming the neck? BYD is not FAW, and it has no cooperation project with your Volkswagen, so it is completely out of bounds.

How do you get stuck in someone's neck? Other people's engines are built by themselves, the chassis is reverse-developed by Japanese car manufacturers, and even the automatic transmission has been made, how can you still get stuck? Where to get the card from?

So the public can only pinch their noses and admit it!

This is a typical example of the success of reverse copycats, as long as you really master the core technology, he will take you without a problem!

There is also a typical example of the failure of reverse copycats, and that is the Great Wall.

In order to squeeze out the mid-to-high-end market, Great Wall reverse-developed the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz M series, and then launched its own mid-to-high-end SUV model, the H8, which the Germans didn't take seriously at first.

However, after the launch of the H8, it was very popular, and it received thousands of orders as soon as it was listed, and it was about to gain a firm foothold in the mid-to-high-end market.

The Germans looked at it, and this was worth it? You must know that this mid-to-high-end market, but they have always monopolized the chassis!

They can see the power of the Great Wall in the low-end market, so they absolutely do not allow the Great Wall to come to this market to disrupt the situation.

So what to do? Stuck in your neck, stuck in your neck!

The gearbox of the Great Wall H8 is from ZF, and then Mercedes-Benz people called a few times, and ZF immediately informed the Great Wall, sorry, our gearbox production capacity is limited, your order is waiting, maybe it will take a year or two, maybe two years or three years to arrive.

If you don't want to, then okay, we'll give you a refund.

The Great Wall was dumbfounded, but he could only swallow the one he cried, and the H8 listing was postponed indefinitely.

This is a typical example of not mastering the core technology.

And Li Yifan has now taken over Chenhua Automobile, he will never allow his own automobile company to have such a situation, and it is not his style to be stuck in the neck.

If you want to copy, then directly copy their core part, as long as you master the three major parts of the car, then you are not afraid of the suppression of those foreign car dealers.

If you want to be a spoiler, you must be prepared.

Now it's too late to start research and development from scratch, and Lao Tzu has made up his mind, it's okay not to do it, if you want to do it, it's a little bigger.

Anyway, now that Lao Tzu has money and is willing to pay for it, I don't believe it, and if the money is smashed, I can't even hear a splash.

Engaging in scientific research abroad can easily cost billions of dollars, especially for large projects such as gearboxes, when foreigners generally publicize it to the outside world, they will say that we have invested billions of dollars in XXX projects......

Just such a number shocked the people who did not know the truth behind them, especially the Chinese who had just joined the WTO, and many people regarded the words of foreigners as a golden rule.

Damn, you see, people are really willing, in order to build a gearbox to invest more than a billion, our level, this money, and a fart?

Forget it, go back and send two boxes of apples and two boxes of oranges, wash and sleep!

In fact, it is not, you must know that there is actually a lot of moisture in these data for foreigners.

For example, if he invests 800 million, he dares to blow it to you as 1800 million, otherwise how can consumers pay?

So you have to blow your investment a little bigger, so that consumers believe it, I damn it, the investment is so big, it's really high!

In this way, when you launch a new product, the price of each unit will be increased by one or two hundred thousand, and they will pay.

And the investment in research and development is a little higher, you can also reasonably avoid taxes, the tax bureau to check the accounts, just report the investment to the top, anyway, there are many accounts, scientific research is a consumption project, and the people in the tax bureau do not understand scientific research, so it is not clear.

In this way, enterprises can quietly make a part of their income profits, and hack them in the name of research and development, without paying taxes.

On the other hand, even if they invest 800 million, how much is used for research and development?

You must know that the salary of foreign scientific researchers is not low, and the average scientific research personnel, even if they are doing miscellaneous work in the laboratory, have to start with an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars, and the annual salary of a little name is 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, or even hundreds of thousands.

In fact, it is good to have half of the materials and machinery and equipment that are really used in research and development.

At this time, in China, you don't have to worry about such a problem at all, and the salary of domestic scientific researchers is very low in these years.

The salary of a scientific research graduate from a first-class university in China is calculated all year round, that is, 100,000 yuan, which is how much it is, a little more than 10,000 US dollars.

This is also the main reason why foreign scientific research companies have opened laboratories in China in recent years, and the salaries of scientific research personnel are low, so that a large number of peripheral basic and cumbersome scientific research work can be handed over to Chinese people to do.

And to engage in scientific research, if such a large talent market is not used, it can simply be struck to death by lightning.

The gringos' investment in scientific research, which is often billions of dollars, can scare many domestic leaders and scientific research workers who do not know the truth, but they cannot scare Li Yifan.

Lao Tzu is rich, and the price of domestic scientific researchers is not expensive, Lao Tzu can afford it.

You've been doing decades of research, right? You have more than 100 R&D personnel in your research institute, right?

Lao Tzu can also use the tactics of crowd to bulldoze you, you use more than 100 people, Lao Tzu will use more than 1,000 people, and the salary of more than 1,000 people, calculated in a year, may not be as high as the salary of the personnel of your research institute.

Besides, buddy is not bad for money now.

What kind of bullshit patent, Lao Tzu doesn't care, just reverse research and development of your girl, if there is a kind, you will sue, see if you can sue or not, fight a lawsuit, Lao Tzu will accompany you.

If you don't have this spirit of mixing, Lao Tzu might as well play with eggs.

Do you think that if you set a patent threshold, you can scare Lao Tzu away? Stop dreaming!

Li Yifan's unrelenting momentum really shocked Zhou Yuanchao, originally he did have some scruples about patents, but now he is looking at the boss in front of him, he is completely treating patents as fart!

In the long run, this attitude is very unfavorable, the development of science and technology, after all, without patent protection, everyone is waiting for someone else's to become, who still bothers to engage in research and development!

But in terms of the current environment and the industry they are in, Zhou Yuanchao likes Li Yifan's attitude very much, and even he feels that these words still carry a domineering spirit!

"Let me tell you, Zhou Gong, let's either not do it, or if we want to do it, we can do it. I told you about our advantages just now, so you put my heart back in my stomach, they came to find it, and I took it! Let's just carry out the cottage to the end! (To be continued......)
