Why Europe?

When Shen Lang saw the overwhelming news reports, huge doubts rose in his heart.

Shen Lang is very unoptimistic about this, and he does not think that Huaxia Electric Vehicle Group has the strength to win the European market.

With this doubt, Shen Lang and his classmates took the high-speed train and returned to Shanghai, after throwing away his luggage in the dormitory, he washed his face and immediately came to the teacher's office.

Soon after, Li Moran left, and Shen Lang knocked on the door of Luo Jia's office.

"You're back." Luo Jia said with a smile, "There is good news, the BIM project has been completed in the software center, and next, they will start to march towards the last bastion in general industrial software, EDA." ”

Shen Lang was slightly stunned, his face was happy, this is really good news, EDA is semiconductor design software, specially used to design various chips and processors, once the EDA project is completed, Xingchen Technology will be able to enter the semiconductor field logically.

The five general industrial software are the foundation of all industrial software, and with these foundations, countless more advanced specialized software can be extended.

For example, the military's missile design software only needs to extract a part of the modules from the five basic industrial software, and then rearrange and optimize them.

In short, the five general industrial software are like the foundation of a building, when the foundation has been laid, if you want to build a Chinese-style or Western-style, or even surrealist style building, you only need to add bricks and tiles to the foundation.

Luo Jia smiled and said, "You were in a hurry to find me just after you came back, what's the matter?" ”

Shen Lang frowned, "Regarding the entry of electric vehicles into the European market, I can't figure it out, it seems too risky, after all, Europe is the most competitive market in the world, Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler, Fiat, Citroen, Renault, not only the headquarters of these giants are located in Europe, but even the North American automotive groups General Motors and Ford have already shifted their focus to Europe." ”

"Everyone is familiar with the Focus, Mondeo, Carnival, GM Yinglang and so on, these models are actually designed and developed in Europe, even the Japanese car giants, also have a large investment in Europe, we are familiar with Nissan car, in fact, the full name is Renault-Nissan Mitsubishi United Group, belongs to France and Neon deep cooperation enterprises."

Shen Lang said a lot of reasons in one breath, Luo Jia said lightly after listening, "Europe is indeed the most competitive car market in the world, and we don't have many hole cards in our hands, whether it is Geely, BYD, or Great Wall, they all belong to the world's small and medium-sized automobile groups, and their strength is not on the same level as those giants." ”

"I know the situation very well, but you may have overlooked a detail, this time the European operation, the distribution and after-sales system used, is Geely's Volvo system, that is to say, whether it is Great Wall or BYD's electric vehicles, they are sold in Volvo stores, and after-sales service is also done by Volvo Group."

Luo Jia gave Shen Lang a slight hint, then didn't say anything more, leaving the space for Shen Lang to think.

The brain began to think quickly, although Shen Lang knew the details of the distribution system in the news, he didn't think much about it, and after Luo Jia's prompt, Shen Lang suddenly found that this matter was probably not so simple.

Luo Jia glanced at the perpetual calendar on the table, sold a pass, and said to Shen Lang, "The day after tomorrow is October 1st, and by that time, everything will be clear." ”

......

Two days later, on October 1, a series of news broke out from China, shocking the whole world.

First of all, Geely and BYD, Great Wall announced a merger to form a new company, East Asia Automobile Group.

After the reorganization, the annual production capacity of Dongya Automobile Group will reach an astonishing 10 million vehicles, covering nine brands: Geely, Lynk & Co, Volvo, BYD, Lingyun, Great Wall, EY, Lotus, and Proton.

According to the current global ranking, the top three companies are Toyota Group, Volkswagen Group, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi United Group, the annual production capacity of the three of them is about 12 million vehicles, it is difficult to distinguish between the high, and the fourth ranked General Motors Group, with an annual production capacity of 8.5 million vehicles, and the top three The gap is still quite large.

When established, the Dong-A Automotive Group will surpass the GM Group to become the world's fourth-largest automaker.

At the beginning, when Luo Jia took the lead in establishing the Huaxia Automobile Alliance, the total production capacity of Geely, BYD, and Great Wall was only 4 million vehicles, but now in less than two years, it has increased by 2.5 times, which is a great achievement.

However, before the Chinese people had time to celebrate, a second piece of news came.

The national team also announced the restructuring plan of the automobile industry, Changan, Chery, GAC, SAIC, SOUTHEAST, HAIMA, JAC, ZOTYE, DONGFENG, FAW, BAIC, they will officially merge, and also establish a new automobile group, Huaxia Automobile.

Huaxia Automobile Group's production capacity has reached 7 million vehicles, ranking seventh in the world after GM Group and Hyundai-Kia Group, and higher than the 6.5 million production capacity of Ford Group, which ranks eighth.

Many people who eat melons don't understand, how can the production capacity of the national team be only 7 million vehicles after the combination of the national team, which is not even as high as the production capacity of the three major private automobile groups? It can't be, right?

However, the truth is just so cruel, FAW Toyota, FAW Audi, FAW Volkswagen, these are indeed large car factories, but they are all joint venture brands, you can't always say to others when you buy a domestic Audi A6, you bought a FAW, right?

The real Huaxia First Automobile is only a very small automobile factory, and its annual sales are only 200,000 units, which is not a fraction of that of FAW-Volkswagen.

Another example is Wuling Group, the light of Wuling, the god car, the masses have a good reputation, but Wuling is a joint venture brand of SAIC and GM, and it is not a real domestic product.

At present, the largest car factory in the hands of the national team is Changan, with an annual production capacity of 2 million vehicles.

The military has always had a backbone, Changan Automobile is subordinate to the General Armament Department of the military, although it has also established joint ventures such as Changan Mazda and Changan Suzuki, but they have never given up the development of their own brands, otherwise the strength of the national team will be even more ugly.

It is followed by Dongfeng, with one million vehicles, while Chery, BAIC, JAC, SAIC, and GAC have a production capacity of about 500,000 vehicles.

In short, the national team put together the cards in their hands and finally made up the production capacity of 7 million vehicles, although it is a bit pitiful, but at least it has the qualifications to enter the game.

In addition, Sinotruk took the lead, united with Jiefang, Yutong, Jinlong, Jiangling, Foton, etc., to establish Huaxia Commercial Vehicle Group, which mainly manufactures heavy-duty trucks and commercial buses, with an annual production capacity of 3 million vehicles.

In any case, under the continuous lobbying and efforts of Xingchen Technology, Huaxia large and small automobile manufacturers have finally united to form East Asia, Huaxia, Commercial, and three major automobile groups, according to the global annual production capacity of 100 million vehicles, the three major factories in Huaxia account for one-fifth of them.
