Whether it is now, or twenty years from now, the importance of chicken farts is unquestionable.

As a type of large-scale project that is very effective in stimulating economic growth, car manufacturing projects have always been very popular everywhere.

Even some of the more popular car-making projects, in order to strive for these projects to settle in their own cities, all localities are willing to give a lot of preferential conditions.

Land, capital, taxes, ......

All preferential policies are negotiable.

Up to now, Yangcheng already has Yangcheng Honda and Yangcheng Nissan, and it is rumored that the joint venture project between Yangcheng Automobile Group and Toyota Motor is about to land.

But none of these projects are ready to fall under the jurisdiction that Liu Tianwu is responsible for.

This made him a little envious.

So when he heard his secretary Luo Yi tell him that Nanshan Group was interested in building a car for himself, he immediately called Cao Yang.

"Mr. Cao, are you ready to start the car-making project?"

Liu Tianwu and Cao Yang are also old acquaintances.

So he didn't beat around the bush on the phone and cut straight to the point.

"Leader, I'm just thinking about finding a time to report to you."

"I just held an internal meeting yesterday, which is considered to unify the thinking of the top management, and I am ready to officially hold a kick-off meeting for the new model within the company next week."

Liu Tianwu's calls have all come, and Cao Yang naturally has no need to hide it.

As for how Liu Tianwu knew the news, Cao Yang didn't get too entangled.

Some things are not good if they are too serious.

Of course, it seems that it is necessary to emphasize the importance of confidentiality within the new model team in the future.

Don't be embarrassed if the new models have not been officially launched, and various technical parameters have been placed on the desks of other car companies.

"You're finally ready to build a car!"

"If you haven't had this idea in the past two years, I'd like to find a time to talk to you."

Liu Tianwu listened to Cao Yang's affirmative answer, and breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, with a smile on his face.

Through the phone, Cao Yang could feel Liu Tianwu's good mood.

"Leader, to be honest, I originally thought that it would be a few years before I considered building my own car, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes."

"Now we really need a car of our own equipped with our latest component technology."

"In this case, after our internal discussions, we felt that building a car was better for the company's development than not making a car, so we started the car building project."

Cao Yang greeted Liu Tianwu.

Liu Tianwu also told Cao Yang very directly, so that he could find him if he had any difficulties.

However, the project has just started, and many things have not yet been sorted out, so Cao Yang has not put forward any specific requirements for the time being.

……

"Mr. Cao, I heard that Nanshan is preparing to build his own car, is this news true?"

Not long after Cao Yang hung up Liu Tianwu's phone, Wang Fu's mobile phone came in.

During this time, BYD Nanshan Semiconductor has begun to promote various tasks in an orderly manner, and there are still a lot of exchanges between the two sides.

It is estimated that hundreds of people in the whole company of Nanshan Group have known about the car-making project, and it is not surprising that it has been transmitted to BYD.

However, it is estimated that Wang Fu knows very limited information.

Even so, he couldn't help but call Cao Yang.

There is no way, Nanshan Group is now the most important supplier of BYD Automobile, and if Nanshan builds its own car, this is definitely a big deal.

In extreme cases, if Nanshan produces a model similar to the F6 by itself, will BYD's F6 still be sold?

When the time comes, everyone will become competitors directly, and a lot of things will start to change.

"Mr. Wang, you are very well-informed."

"However, the statement that Nanshan wants to build a car is not particularly accurate."

"Until now, we just wanted to produce a model equipped with Nanshan's latest technology and use it as a prototype car to demonstrate the technology."

"Whether it is in terms of product positioning or the number of sales, the new car is different from any domestic company now."

"It can be said that the technology demonstration car that we are preparing to produce in Nanshan will be a model that is produced in small batches and the price is far higher than that of domestic mainstream models."

"I believe that BYD will not produce this type of model in the next ten years, and Nanshan has no plans to produce models of less than 200,000 in the next ten years."

Cao Yang naturally knew very well why Wang Fu made this call.

So it was very direct to give him a reassuring pill.

Although some of the statements are somewhat confusing, Cao Yang does not plan to compete with BYD in the car, this is certain.

It is certain for at least the next ten years.

Cao Yang's opponents are Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, and in the future in the era of electrification, he will compete with everyone in other fields.

"I'll just say, Mr. Cao said before that he didn't plan to build a car in the next few years, why did he suddenly have such a rumor."

"But if it's just for technology demonstration, isn't it a bit expensive to develop a high-end new model?"

Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

Cao Yang can't be fooling himself, right?

"Mr. Wang, the predicament that Nanshan Group is facing now, I think you should have heard of it."

"We have developed some more advanced components, but the international auto giants will not use us easily, and competitors will continue to stumble."

"Although the cooperation between domestic independent brands and us is very pleasant, there are some things that will not be carried casually."

"For example, ESP, most of the self-owned brand models are not equipped with it."

"Then there are these things like navigation, and there are only very few models that will use a little bit on the high configuration."

"As for some of the more high-end powertrains, people don't even think about using them."

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I agreed to the company's launch of the car-making project and develop a car specifically for technology demonstration is that after the company's 3.0T twin-turbo engine was researched, I couldn't find any customers."

"Even after we have researched the 8AT automatic transmission in the future, it is estimated that the number of customers is far less than that of the 6AT."

"So at this time, it is necessary for Nanshan to produce a demonstration model that can be equipped with all of Nanshan's most advanced component technology."

"At that time, the price of such a model of ours will definitely be very high."

"However, I think that as long as Nanshan's parts technology can be fully promoted, then these investments are also worth it."

"OEMs spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on advertising, in order to sell their cars."

"We Nanshan Group spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a car by ourselves to promote our parts technology, I think it's also worth it."

Cao Yang's half-truths made Wang Fu basically believe his statement after listening to it.

After all, Nanshan does have a need for technology display now.

Regarding the 3.0T engine, Wang Fu also heard a little news through other channels.

Combined with Cao Yang's explanations, many things make sense.

"Mr. Cao, BYD's new models will also consider continuously carrying some new technology parts in the future, and the teams of our two sides can have a good exchange at that time."

"But when it comes to building a car, I suggest you think about it carefully."

"If necessary, we at BYD can help provide the platform for the F6 model to assist you in the production of technical verification cars."

Although Wang Fu basically believed Cao Yang's statement, he still hoped that Nanshan would not enter the field of car manufacturing.

After all, this is a huge threat to everyone.

It's like a sword of Damox hanging there.

Who knows if Nanshan will change his mind one day and start competing with everyone directly?

"Thank you Mr. Wang for reminding us that we will also seriously evaluate the car building project internally."

"Maybe after a while, it's not surprising that it will be canceled."

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Wang Fu didn't know what to say.

I could only talk casually about other topics and then hung up the phone.

However, for Cao Yang, this is obviously not the end, but a new beginning.

"Ayang, Nanshan is going to build a car?"

Xiang Changle, as Cao Yang's teacher, many of his students have now gone to Nanshan Group.

He has a large number of colleagues around him who have technical cooperation with Nanshan.

Such a big topic as building a car naturally spreads very quickly among people with intentions.

"Yes, teacher, all branches of the group generally want to build their own cars, and it just so happens that we do have some requests in this regard now."

"So I'm ready to enter the whole vehicle production process."

After a few phone calls, Cao Yang didn't feel strange about this topic at all.

"It's good to build a car."

"I absolutely support you building a car, and the risk is much smaller than that of chips."

"BYD, Geely, Chery and other car companies are not as good as Nanshan, and their car-making business is also booming."

"I wanted to persuade you to think about building your own car, but I didn't expect you to finally figure it out."

"Our school's School of Automotive Engineering has some teachers doing relevant research and development work in all aspects of the vehicle."

"If you need it, I can help you convene a meeting to discuss how to cooperate with you to make the car project a success."

Xiang Changle is obviously very supportive of Nanshan Group's car building.

This is a good thing for both Lingnan University of Science and Technology and Nanshan.

"If you don't mention it, I'm going to find a time to visit and talk about this topic."

"Although Nanshan has accumulated a lot of experience in parts research and development, it is still a baby in vehicle design and manufacturing, and it needs to continue to learn."

"When the time comes, you can help recommend a few relevant teachers and graduate students to see if they are willing to come to Nanshan Group to engage in vehicle research and development."

Although Cao Yang can take care of the appearance of the new car by himself, he can also do some bottleneck parts.

But most of the work definitely requires a large team.

In this way, recruiting a large number of relevant R&D personnel is the first thing to do.

Fortunately, the shortage of talents in vehicle R&D and production is not a level at all compared with chip talents.

Whether it is in various universities, or in various joint ventures and independent brands, there are some relevant talents.

As for whether the technical content of these talents is high, Cao Yang doesn't care so much.

The three major pieces are done well, the appearance is good, and the rest is the problem of quality control.

The pressure in this regard is not great at all.

"You're going to poach people again?"

"At that time, our principal is probably going to make trouble for me, and he will help you poach people every time!"

Xiang Changle couldn't help but make a joke.

Some time ago, Professor Zhang Jing, a professor majoring in microelectronics, jumped to Nanshan Group, which attracted a lot of attention within Lingnan University of Science and Technology.

Now, if another group of professors change jobs, the influence will definitely be even greater.

"There is a turnover of personnel, and the new talents below have the opportunity to be promoted."

"With the influence of Lingnan University of Technology, are you still worried that you won't be able to recruit excellent teachers?"

Talking to Xiang Changle, Cao Yang is also more casual.

"You first arrange someone to sort out roughly to see which areas of talent are in short supply, and then I'll go and see which teacher is more suitable."

"But there are only a few professors in the School of Automotive Engineering, you can't poach them all for me."

Xiang Changle will definitely support Cao Yang.

It's just that he needs to grasp the degree.

"Teachers, in fact, are not necessarily teachers from the School of Automotive Engineering, some lecturers, associate professors or doctoral students from other colleges can also be considered."

"Nanshan's entry into the field of car manufacturing is not a whim, it is a long-term plan."

"We need to assemble a large development team in the future, and there is a great demand for talent from all walks of life."

Taking this opportunity, Cao Yang is ready to dig a corner of Lingnan University of Science and Technology and build the vehicle R&D team in Nanshan as soon as possible.

In this regard, Xiang Changle also expressed his understanding.

……

When Cao Yang's phone was about to be blown up, some rumors began to be received within some car companies.

After all, the automotive industry looks big, but in fact the circle is small.

With such heavy news, many people are willing to share it as a "secret".

"Mr. Wang, I just heard a piece of gossip and think it may need to be taken seriously."

Great Wall Motors, Zhu Jianbo came to Wang Ying's office.

Although the degree of cooperation between Great Wall Motors and Nanshan Group is not as close as that of BYD, the relationship between them is also very close.

Even Great Wall Motors has now begun to fully enter the SUV field in accordance with the direction proposed when communicating with Cao Yang before.

In terms of brand positioning, it is also ready to create a high-security positioning for itself with the help of hot stamping.

In this case, Chuangsheng Nanshan is going to build his own car, and Zhu Jianbo can't afford not to pay attention to it.

"Nanshan is going to build a car?"

"Is that true?"

Wang Ying is a smart person, so she naturally knows the impact behind this news.

"I called some of their personnel, and some said they didn't know, and some didn't admit or deny it."

"So I think this news, nine times out of ten, is true."

When Zhu Jianbo said this, Wang Ying couldn't help frowning.

If she wants to compete with independent brand car companies such as Chery and Geely, she is still very confident.

But when the other party Nanshan said it, she found that she had no score in her heart.

Looking at the Chinese automobile industry, there is no company that is more evil than Nanshan Group.

Not only did he make his own engine and gearbox, but he also made a breakthrough in many parts.

This doesn't look like a normal Chinese company at all.

"I'll give Mr. Cao a call to find out the specific situation."
