Chapter 161: Samples? No problem! Anyway, you can't copy it
Cao Yang was very busy during this time.
For several days on end, he had to receive at least one client every day.
Changan Automobile, Great Wall Motor, Geely Automobile, Chery Automobile, Chuncheng Automobile, Xifeng Automobile, Modu Automobile......
There is one counted, the main domestic independent brands, all come to Nanshan for inspection.
When the potential customers came to inspect this time, Nanshan naturally wanted to introduce his 6AT automatic transmission.
Whether it is the structure of the gearbox or the technical route, more or less will show some.
Even the parameters of the 6AT are slowly spreading.
With the more and more car companies inspected, everyone is slowly realizing one point, that is, Nanshan 6AT, which is really powerful.
No wonder it was able to get an order from Ford Motor.
These professionals in the automotive industry know that Ford has developed its own 6AT, and now they will actually find Nanshan to purchase transmissions, and the story is worth scrutinizing.
"Mr. Cao, although these independent brands are our potential customers, I think some people may have bad intentions."
"Many domestic companies are still relatively generous with advertising investment, but they are often reluctant to invest in research and development."
"They may think we can all produce 6ATs, and they certainly can."
"We've now provided two prototypes of 6ATs to each family, will there be any risk?"
Ji Hua is too familiar with the situation of the domestic automobile transmission industry.
He has been studying this field for more than ten years.
In his opinion, these domestic car companies always feel that spending money on research and development is a waste.
After all, Huaxia's automobile industry lacks core technology, resulting in low quality cars and difficulty in competing with well-known foreign brands.
As a result, some own-brand automakers believe that investing in R&D will only be a waste of money, and will not bring them significant benefits.
Ji Hua hated this situation, but there was nothing he could do.
"What's at stake?"
"Professor Ji, in the past, Aisin's gearbox and ZF's gearbox, couldn't they get a sample?"
"But what about the result?"
"Until now, I haven't been able to copy it."
"The technical content of our Nanshan 6AT will not be lower than that of Aisin and ZF, even if we give them samples, we will help them remove the parts one by one, and they will not be able to copy them."
Cao Yang didn't look down on any independent brand, but in 2001, the performance of all domestic companies in 6AT was garbage.
Even in another ten years, the situation has not changed.
Automatic transmissions have multiple gears and gear sets inside, requiring precise assembly and adjustment to ensure good transmission results.
In addition, automatic transmissions need to be equipped with multiple components such as torque converters, hydraulic control systems, and electronic control systems, all of which require a very high level of technology and precision in their manufacturing and assembly.
In addition, the gear set and gear switching device inside the automatic transmission require a very high degree of precision to ensure good transmission results. This requires high-precision manufacturing processes and advanced processing equipment.
Coupled with the weak performance of domestic enterprises in TCU, it is no wonder that they can produce results.
So Cao Yang is not worried at all that they will take Nanshan's 6AT to plagiarize.
"It seems to make sense."
"But they can't plagiarize in a short period of time, and it's hard to say after a long time of research."
"I think it's better to take this opportunity to discuss with them about the installation of the new model."
"When the time comes, after our gearbox factory is put into normal production, the production capacity will explode at once."
"At that time, there is no need to worry about not having a market."
Ji Hua naturally wants to see the transmission division he is responsible for can be carried forward.
If all domestic automobile companies are using Nanshan 6AT, then his reputation will spread at once.
It was something he had ever dreamed of doing.
"Xiao Zeng will arrange people to connect with these car companies, and take this opportunity to let our bearings, gears and bolts also enter the supply system of these companies."
Although in the short term, the sales volume of independent brands is not comparable to that of joint ventures.
But doing things naturally means taking a long-term view.
Cao Yang has no intention of relying on the joint venture all the time.
……
"Dean Chang, if you engage in a 6AT gearbox competition, can you produce results within a year?"
Zhu Zhengfeng, general manager of Chuncheng Automobile Group, rarely listened to the report of Chuncheng Automobile Research Institute on 6AT automatic transmission.
In the past few days, Nanshan 6AT has attracted the attention of the entire domestic automobile OEMs.
Needless to say, Changan Ford, Modu Volkswagen and Modu GM are also paying close attention to whether the R&D center of the headquarters recognizes the Nanshan 6AT technology.
As for each independent brand, almost one is considered one, and they all went to Nanshan.
Zeng Tingting collected a thick stack of business cards during this time.
So many customers came to visit, and Nanshan also sent out a batch of 6AT samples.
When these things arrived at various automobile companies, one of them was immediately dismantled.
I almost didn't take a magnifying glass to study it properly.
"Mr. Zhu, according to our current dismantling analysis, the structure of the Nanshan 6AT is different from the ZF 6AT and Aisin 6AT."
"It seems that some parts of the design are simpler, but there are other places that are confusing."
"If it's just a simple imitation, a year is naturally enough."
"But when it comes to the gearbox's cooling system and control system, there may be some difficulties to overcome in the end."
Chang Lei naturally didn't dare to say that the research institute couldn't handle the 6AT.
Nowadays, a local private enterprise has developed 6AT, and the technology is still so advanced.
Their largest automobile research institute in China said that he couldn't do it, but he didn't dare to say it.
Even if Chang Lei actually knows very well in his heart, let alone a year, even if he gives a few more years, it is impossible for the Chuncheng Automobile Research Institute to make a better 6AT than Aisin and ZF 6AT.
Not even a 6AT, even a 4AT is enough.
But he didn't dare to say it directly.
Otherwise, will you have a place at that time?
Anyway, stabilize the boss first, and then slowly develop it.
At that time, the big deal is to buy a batch of parts from Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., and assemble them as the research results of the research institute, and report them to the research center.
As for mass production in the future, it can only be said after this year's hurdle.
"If there is a difficulty, find a way to overcome it."
"I heard that Nanshan and Huaqing University don't have a joint research project on TCU?"
"Later, I heard that they were working with Aisin."
"You can go to a professor from the Department of Vehicle Engineering at Huaqing University and discuss cooperation with them."
As soon as Zhu Zhengfeng said this, Chang Lei naturally didn't dare to say no.
Anyway, Huaqing University will be pulled into the water, and there will be no way to produce the 6AT of Chuncheng Automobile Group at that time, which is the pot that the TCU cooperated with Huaqing University will not pass.
"Mr. Zhu, I will go to the imperial capital tomorrow to discuss cooperation with Huaqing University."
"In addition, it is best for us to find a car to use the Nanshan 6AT, so that it is convenient for us to find them for more technical parameters and go to their site to review, visit and learn."
Chang Lei knows the strength of the group of engineers below him very well.
It is absolutely unreliable to engage in 6AT.
In the end, it must be copied.
But 6AT is such a complex part, and you have to know how to copy it.
Otherwise, the result will be ugly, and his position will be in danger.
