In terms of the main development prospects of automobiles in the future, the automatic transmission of 4AT has begun to fall behind, and even has begun to gradually enter the twilight era.

The major automakers on Shijie are beginning to study a new generation of automatic transmissions.

Germany's Volkswagen is focusing on their new target, the DSG dual-clutch transmission, while the Japanese automaker is targeting the CVT automatic transmission and the six-speed automatic manual transmission.

In the next few years, the development pattern of Shijie automobile industry will gradually enter the era of five-speed manual automatic transmission, and about the five-speed manual automatic transmission, there are already many companies to drum it out.

For example, Japan's Aisin and Germany's ZF, they have even begun to enter the era of six-speed manual integration.

The five-speed automatic manual transmission, in addition to Honda's unique five-speed automatic manual transmission, the five-speed automatic manual transmission developed by other manufacturers will be rated as a failure by history.

Because whether it is from the smoothness of shifting, or from the aspect of fuel-saving performance, the five-speed automatic manual transmission, compared with the four-speed automatic manual transmission, does not have too strong advantages, so the five-speed automatic manual transmission, since it was introduced to the market, is destined to be just a transitional product, its product life, is not as long as the four-speed automatic manual transmission, or the six-speed automatic manual transmission.

Ten years later, in the market of low-end models, the leading role is destined to be the six-speed automatic manual transmission and the CVT continuously variable transmission.

Originally, when Li Yifan wanted to win the company DSI, his main consideration was to give the country a few years in the future. The developed domestic automobile brand is matched.

And since it is destined that the four-speed automatic manual transmission will be an obsolete goods. And the six-speed automatic manual transmission. DSI was only tinkered with nine years later, so why bother spending a lot of money to see DSI's face now?

Since they don't want to buy the company, they might as well poach their company, and poaching their company will always be more cost-effective and less expensive than buying a company like DSI.

Li Annie looked at Li Yifan's eyes a little unkindly at this time. This guy is definitely the kind of person you can't offend, and if you offend him, what other means will he use to get revenge on you.

Hehe, these idiots of DSI, they probably would never have thought that they would face such a catastrophe!

But soon, she was worried again, since everyone else has rejected our intention to acquire, and the main reason. It is also because of their Australian pride that they go to their company to dig into the wall at this time. Could the Aussies in their company be willing?

"Yifan, the main reason why our acquisition of DSI was blocked this time is the conservatism and arrogance of Australians, so I believe that you should have an understanding of the situation of their company and the character of Australians, but now we go to their company to dig into the wall, will it be so easy?"

Li Annie asked about her worries, but she didn't expect Li Yifan to take it seriously at all.

"Haha, if the head of their R&D department was an Australian, then I might not be so confident, but who made the head of their R&D department a Chinese?"

"What? You mean......"

Li Annie couldn't help but be a little stunned by Li Yifan's information, when she was preparing materials to acquire DSI, she just learned more about the company's background, history, and current financial situation, etc., for the company's senior management, she only learned about the company's board members, as for the real core part of the company, that is, the team of the R&D center, she didn't spend much effort to understand.

So now when she learned from Li Yifan's mouth that the main leader of DSI's R&D and design center turned out to be a Chinese, she couldn't help but be surprised.

No wonder this guy was so confident that he was going to poach DSI just now, it turned out that he buried his burden here!

"Hehe, yes, I also did it some time ago, it turns out that the senior director of the R&D and design department of the Australian DSI company, named Zhou Yuanchao, is our authentic Chinese. In the early years, he graduated from the School of Automotive Engineering of Jinghua University with a doctorate, and later went to Australia to study, and then joined the Australian DSI company, where he worked for more than ten years. Now he is the director of the R&D and design department of DSI company, and it is said that he is very authoritative and respected in the R&D and design department, so as long as we pry him, then we can directly dismantle DSI company. ”

When Li Yifan said this, his eyes were already cold, and he hated this Australian company now.

What's special, it's just shameless, Lao Tzu gave you such generous conditions, you still have to chirp crookedly, then the good Lao Tzu will dig up your roots directly.

And Li Annie listened to Li Yifan's explanation at this time, and couldn't help but shudder, but she still didn't have much confidence in this matter.

"Yifan, listening to you say this, this matter is not impossible, but I am still a little worried, after all, you also said that this Zhou Yuanchao has been working for DSI for more than ten years, does he have no feelings for the company at all? If we want to move him, will it be that easy? ”

"Hehe, this matter should not be difficult, after all, DSI's life is not so easy now, and the other point is that this person is actually a jishu house, and DSI Company, the current appropriation policy of deducting the rope, has made him very annoyed."

"Jishu house? What is Jishu House? ”

Li Annie was very interested in this new term that came out of Li Yifan's mouth, and Li Yifan was full of black lines, which she was just excited, and suddenly said the Internet noun ten years later, so she could only give Li Annie a vague explanation, saying that she was the kind of guy who was obsessed with jishu and was not very interested in other things.

Li Annie was relieved, if this is the case, then the next work will be much easier.

And the reason why Li Yifan wants to pry the corner of DSI and dig up this Zhou Yuanyue is also because this guy had the experience of being poached by your company in his previous life.

In the original historical time and space, because of the successive victories of Japanese cars, Australian Ford and Australian Chrysler, the two companies in Australia began to have a bad time in Australia, and the only one in Australia that can still compete with Japanese cars may be the Australian local Holden company of GM Holdings, and the Australians are still because they have a little patriotic mind, which can allow Holden to maintain sales, but when it comes to the root, in fact, it is just relying on the company's pickup trucks. and some large-displacement models to maintain the market, as the price of oil climbs in the future, Horton's life is also difficult.

Not to mention those, let's just say that the life of Australian Ford and Australian Chrysler is not good, and the orders on DSI's side naturally began to decrease, and their capital chain has fallen into a tense stage.

At this time, the British rubber tire company sold the company to a local machinery manufacturing company called ION in Australia.

However, DSI's life is getting more and more difficult, and their investment in R&D is not large, and the senior directors only think about making a fortune before the company collapses, so the funds allocated to the R&D department every year are getting less and less.

And the high-level vision of the future products also has serious differences with the R&D and design department led by Zhou Yuanchao, the company gives the R&D department funds every year, but they are required to develop the kind of six-speed manual automatic transmission that can adapt to the rear drive, at that time Zhou Yuanchao They were crazy, other transmission companies are desperately researching to adapt to the front-wheel drive of the six-gear manual automatic integration, or CVT, or double clutch, you have to go against others, aren't you not kicked by a donkey?

But there's no way, if you don't follow the above meaning, people will cut off your research funding, and you have no choice but to bite the bullet.

As a result, the research results came out quickly, but who would want to use this thing except for a high-horsepower locomotive?

The product could not be sold, and there was a problem on the side of the head office ION, but before the problem could be solved, in 2006, the head office ION company actually declared bankruptcy and collapsed.

At this time, Chery Company, which has become a small climate in China, was the first to extend an olive branch like Zhou Yuanchao, and it can be said that the time and place were very mature, and Zhou Yuanchao almost didn't think much about it, so he agreed to Chery's invitation.

Under his leadership, DSI's R&D department almost immediately left, and almost no one left in the R&D team of more than 20 people.

So after a few years of hard work, Chery came up with a self-produced CVT transmission......

So Li Yifan wants to dig into the corner of DSI at this time, and it is not without a criminal record, anyway, even if ION acquires DSI, then DSI's life is not as good as Wang Xiaoer's New Year, since this is the case, it is better to start early.

In the past few years, DSI can be said to have changed hands frequently, and these employees of DSI must have lost their hopes for the company's prospects.

In addition, Zhou Yuanchao led a group of jishu houses, and everyone was already dissatisfied with the company's unsatisfactory funding, and at this time, he prying the corner of the wall in the past might cause an earthquake on their side! (To be continued......)
