804. in the first place of equipment and talent

After counting it carefully, there are indeed a lot of good things in Europe, such as this automatic automobile production line, which Europeans are very good at.

Li Yifan didn't think about buying such production lines from Japan, but the current Japanese regard these production lines as their own housekeeping skills, and people will not consider selling them to you Chinese people at all.

After all, so far, with the catch-up of the followers, Japan has not much to get its hands on, and only in the field of automobile manufacturing, as well as optoelectronics, there are some unique skills of its own, so now the Japanese take these very seriously.

Think about the later generations of China's several private independent brands, after entering the field of automobile manufacturing, when making a car to open a mold, because the domestic accuracy is not up to standard, there is no way to have to spend a lot of money to open a mold in Japan, but the mold was given to you by the Japanese, it is really miserable, the seam between the sheet metal parts can be wider than a finger, which shows the bad intentions of the Japanese.

Later, if it were not for the opportunity of the financial crisis, several domestic independent brands took the opportunity to acquire several Japanese mold companies, and the sheet metal mold of domestic automobiles would still be a cup.

There are three countries on Shijie that can independently produce the entire automobile industry chain, one is Japan, which is not considered for the time being, and the other is the United States, which is no longer in the scope of Li Yifan's consideration.

First of all, what worries Li Yifan on the US side is the arrogant attitude of the Americans, as well as the attitude that the US government likes to intervene in the import and export of machinery to Chinese enterprises.

In the eyes of arrogant Americans. These things are not even needed by us. I don't want to sell it to you Chinese. Anyway, we have money, these things, even if we pile up mold in our backup, we can't sell them to you, you must know that the attitude of the Americans towards China has never been too good, so Li Yifan is also quite disgusted with the Americans in his heart.

The second is the production line of the Americans themselves, which is actually not bad. If you look at the workmanship of American cars, compared with Japanese cars and European cars, they are completely two levels.

Their rough mining style of making cars can be the same as the attitude of the former Soviet Union when it was manufacturing military supplies, and the sheet metal seams are not much better than those of the Chinese car manufacturers when they first entered the field of automobile manufacturing, and the cars they build have always been known for their fuel consumption and many small problems.

In fact, it is not that Americans can't build cars, but because people really don't have the heart to build good cars. Those American automakers are really being taken by the powerful U.S. government. And the proud American people are used to it, anyway, no matter what is wrong with the cars we make, the zuihou American people still like to buy American cars, don't they?

Therefore, it is the problem of this attitude towards making cars, which led to the fact that American cars were once beaten by Japanese cars in the market, and such an attitude did not change slightly until after the epic economic crisis eight years later, after the three giants directly closed down two of them.

So now Li Yifan doesn't dare to fight the idea of the American car production line, on the one hand, the price is expensive, the attitude of people is still horizontal enough, and he may not be able to buy the most haode things, so he simply gave up the idea of buying American goods.

In this way, after thinking about it, the method of this vehicle manufacturing production line really has to fall on the top of European goods.

In the last life, the domestic private independent brand of the vehicle manufacturing production line, zuihou is really from the European side of the breakthrough, and then simply many car companies, directly to Europe to purchase, the entire production workshop, simply all European goods.

It was from Europe that the breakthrough was opened, and later the Japanese also opened up, and began to export a considerable number of tools such as robots on the production line in China.

Speaking of European goods, in fact, these Europeans did not have a particularly friendly attitude towards Chinese automobile manufacturing at the beginning, but they are different from the Americans, who are completely arrogant and look down on them.

The Europeans, on the other hand, underestimated the ability of Chinese manufacturing, and at the beginning, they were reluctant to sell the production line to the Chinese, but not because they wanted to guard against the Chinese like the Americans, but because they thought that you Chinese could not afford it at all.

At the beginning, it was Chery, a domestic company, that first opened this breakthrough, and when they first started, they also bought a second-hand Ford production line from a bankrupt British car manufacturer at a large price.

It's a pity that these Brits are too capable of doing it, in the production line to China, responsible for installation and commissioning, actually deliberately to Chery to make a break, a second-hand production line, back and forth installation for half a year zuihou still did not complete the end, and the handling fee, labor costs are charged a lot, zuihou Chery is unbearable, simply drive those British engineers away, on their own, or complete the installation and commissioning of this production line.

However, I have to say that Ford's second-hand production line is really too scummy, which leads to the first few batches of models produced by Chery, and the quality will always have problems of one size or another, so there is a saying that Chery and Chery are queuing up for car repair.

However, although Chery suffered a big loss in this matter, it also allowed European companies to see the consumption power, courage and courage of Chinese enterprises.

Later, the Great Wall, on a large scale, large-scale in Sweden, Germany and other places, carried out joint procurement, the purchase of the entire car production line, worth more than 300 million yuan, of course, that was in 07, 08 or so, and they also relied on such a production line, to become the overlord of the domestic automobile industry.

As a person who has come over, Li Yifan, when he wants to engage in automobile manufacturing, because he has a lifetime of experience, he must have natural advantages over local brands such as Chery and Great Wall, and he will take many detours.

And he has more bullets in his pocket, so he simply omitted the idea of buying a second-hand production line, and if he doesn't make a move, he will simply ask for a new production line, anyway, Lao Tzu has enough silver provided by the Japanese, and the money is not spent in vain.

Rather than putting it in the bank to mold and let the bank use it to make money, it is better to exchange it with a tool that can make money.

And in these years, the price is not as empty as ten years later, so it is more cost-effective to buy European equipment.

The most important thing is that I have the advantage that other domestic independent brands do not have, that is, the purchase channel in Europe, and this channel is Heidi.

You must know that those Europeans, if they face a Chinese enterprise that suddenly comes to the door and is not famous, they will definitely have a natural noble and glamorous attitude, and they will also scare people to death when they tell you the price, zuihou is still an attitude that you love to buy or not.

But if Heidi were to negotiate with those European companies on her behalf, with her network in Europe and the manufacturing companies controlled by their company, such an acquisition would be twice the result with half the effort for her.

"By the way, Heidi, you're in Europe, do you know any of the engineers who designed the car?"

Li Yifan thought about it and asked Heidi again.

"Hehe, this, I have to go back to Haode to find it, it seems that my father also participated in Saab back then, but then Saab was acquired by the Americans, and after my old man took the money, it seems that he is not involved in the field of automobile manufacturing. But I heard that after the Americans bought Saab, they dismantled Saab in pieces, and now Saab is also struggling in the market, life is not easy, many of the original Saab engineers have left, some have gone to other car manufacturing companies, and some are still living on Saab's side, but I think if you are willing to pay the right price, they may be willing to come and help you. ”

Heidi replied with a smile, in fact, car engineers, this thing may be very new in China, but in Europe, where the automobile industry is developed, such talents are not all over the streets, but there are no longer a few experienced people.

"Okay, after I go back, you can help me find some such people, preferably engineers in chassis tuning, as well as professionals who know jishu and can manage, and when they are called, let those who are willing to come to work in Huaguo come to me for an interview."

Don't bother the two masters, not to mention what is the relationship between Li Yifan and Heidi, this matter is probably very difficult for me, but if Heidi comes forward, it will definitely not be a difficult matter.

"No problem, I'll help you find it when you go back."

"By the way, but you must find those who have real materials and are willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, and I don't hesitate to pay a lot of money for such people. If it's the kind of guy who likes to brag and likes the European way of life when he's fine, forget it. You also know that the shelves of your European workers are really big enough, and you have to have a morning tea in the afternoon after working for more than an hour, and you have to have afternoon tea in the afternoon, and you have to work eight hours a day, and the time you really use is less than six hours. And I'll give you a strike at every turn, if you want to fire him, he will rush to sue you, such an uncle-type engineer, no matter how good Jishu is, I don't dare to ask for it. ”

For those jishu workers in Europe, Li Yifan is still quite afraid, especially this type.

"Hehe, that's it, that's a lot smaller, forget it, I'll go back and help you take a look, but I can't find it, don't blame me!" (To be continued......)
