The time off is always short.

Whether it's a 3-day holiday, a 7-day holiday, or a 10-day holiday.

It all felt like it was gone in a flash.

Various auto OEMs and auto media people had just returned to work during the Spring Festival, and some were even on vacation at home, but they suddenly received an unexpected invitation letter.

Nanshan Transmission will hold a new product launch conference!

This is definitely a surprising thing.

In the past two years, Nanshan Group has not easily engaged in such large-scale new product launches.

Nanshan Transmission now has 4AT, 6AT, and 8AT automatic transmissions, as well as 4MT, 5MT, and 6MT manual transmissions.

Now there is such a big battle for the new product launch conference, so it is obviously not ready to release a new product such as a facelifted 6AT.

So what could it be?

This is definitely something that everyone can look forward to.

"Mr. Zhang, this invitation is a bit weird, and it makes people feel a bit unusual behind it."

Zeng Guangda came to Zhang Jiaqi's office with a heavy heart.

A few years ago, Yangcheng Automobile Group and Aisin established a joint venture to produce gearboxes, and now they have begun to design the layout of the plant.

At the beginning, Zeng Guangda was also worried about what reaction Nanshan Group would have, but in fact, he didn't wait for any reaction.

I thought that this matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen immediately after the Spring Festival.

Zeng Quanta dared to swear that the new product launch conference made by Nanshan Gearbox was definitely related to the actions made by Aisin during this time, and it had something to do with it.

Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental?

Why else would Nanshan Gearbox be so active in this kind of activity this time?

The scale is said to be very large, and invitations have been sent to almost all domestic OEMs and automotive media.

At that time, leaders of ministries and commissions, provinces and municipalities will also be invited to attend the meeting.

This is obviously something big to be announced.

"The company has been established, the land has been bought, and there is no point in regretting it now."

"At this time, what we need to think about is how to deal with the new situation."

Successful people often learn from their past experiences, but they don't feel sorry for themselves all the time.

Zhang Jiaqi is undoubtedly a successful person.

"So far, Nanshan Group has not taken any measures specifically against us."

"Before the agreement was officially signed, you also called Mr. Cao, and it stands to reason that they should not use any small means to come out."

"In this case, I think the key lies in what is the situation of this new product of Nanshan gearbox."

"As long as you figure it out, maybe some questions will be answered."

Zeng Quanta quickly gave his own judgment.

Zhang Jiaqi still agrees with this opinion.

Of course, after receiving the invitation to the new product launch of Nanshan transmission, I was a little nervous that it was not only Yangcheng Automobile Group.

Geely Automobile, which just cooperated with Aisin before the Spring Festival, is even more nervous at this time.

After all, the Yangcheng Automobile Group is covered by Yangcheng City after all, and even if Nanshan Group wants to deal with them, it will definitely have scruples.

But it's hard to say about Geely Automobile's side.

Although it stands to reason that everyone's cooperative relationship is there, and things will not develop to that point, everyone is still a little worried.

"Mr. Li, do you participate in this new product launch conference of Nanshan gearbox?"

Under normal circumstances, Hou Liang would definitely not come to Li Su's office to ask such a question.

But this time, the situation is obviously a bit special.

"Do you think there are many people who will participate this time, and whether the level is high?"

"It's hard to say, but with the influence of Nanshan Group, there is a high probability that many leaders will also participate."

Hou Liang really didn't dare to guess casually now.

Who knows what the final guess will look like?

On January 9, Nanshan Group had just won 5 first prizes and 5 second prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

Who is awarding the awards?

Who was present at the award ceremony?

Who attended the award ceremony and couldn't remember the name of Nanshan Group?

Jane is in the Nanshan Group of Emperor Heart, and now her every move has a great influence.

Hou Liang now vaguely regrets his cooperation with Aisin.

He feels that this time the new product launch conference of Nanshan Gearbox is likely to bring surprises and surprises to everyone.

"Let's go for a trip!"

"I just took this opportunity to talk to Mr. Cao and ease the impact of Geely Aisin."

Li Su thought about it and felt that some problems seemed to be avoided and could not solve the problem.

It's better to go directly to the scene and see what the situation is.

If there really will be a lot of leaders in attendance, it will be a good thing.

Maybe I know each other.

"Okay, then I'll immediately feed back the list of attendees to Nanshan Gearbox, and they are also counting the situation in this regard."

"At that time, the level of attendees may be relatively high, and some security work also needs to be prepared in advance."

Hou Liang got the answer he wanted, and immediately flashed.

……

If Yangcheng Automobile and Geely Automobile are only a little nervous, then Aisin is definitely very nervous.

Since Yoshikawa started his journey to China and established a joint venture with Yangcheng Automobile and Geely Automobile, Aisin Huaxia and Aisin headquarters have been paying close attention to the movements in Huaxia during this time.

In particular, the various movements of the Nanshan gearbox and the Nanshan Group.

Just waited for a long time and didn't wait for any useful information.

This made Yoshikawa and Okumura also feel a trace of doubt.

Now that the Nanshan gearbox is starting to move, their doubts are even more.

"Okumura, what new products do you think Nanshan Gearbox will release this time?"

"Could it be that they really developed the 9AT?"

Yoshikawa's mood was a little heavy.

Aisin's own R&D progress, he is very clear.

Not to mention this year, it is impossible to develop the 9AT next year, or even the year after that.

If the Nanshan gearbox gets the 9AT out so quickly, it will definitely be a very huge blow to Aisin's global prestige.

Everyone will subconsciously start to think that the technology of Nanshan gearbox is the most advanced.

When Nanshan Transmission first launched the 8AT automatic transmission, it was already a bit of a sign in this regard.

If this is the case with the 9AT, then the situation is even more different.

"President, in fact, I don't think there is any need to worry about it, even if the Nanshan gearbox really comes out with a 9AT, so what?"

"We are a professional gearbox manufacturer, and we are very clear about the difference between 8AT and 9AT."

"Except for some publicity gimmicks, the advantage of the 9AT over the 8AT is actually very small."

"Even the so-called advantages, ordinary consumers can't feel them at all when they drive daily, and it is difficult to achieve those special working conditions."

"On the contrary, after an extra gear, the quality of the gearbox may deteriorate, whether it is a cold cutting system or a mechanical system, it may be more prone to failure."

"The most important thing is this gearbox, the cost will definitely be very high."

"How many car companies will use such a flashy thing at that time?"

Although Okumura was panicking now, he didn't dare to show this panic.

On the contrary, in front of Yoshikawa, he still had to say that this matter was irrelevant.

What else would you do?

Everyone hugging each other is painful, worried, sad?

Not!

"That being said, what Nanshan Group is best at is all kinds of publicity."

"If they really have an advantage in this area at that time, they will definitely not let go of such a good publicity opportunity."

"The offensive advantage that we have built up so hard may become less obvious."

"Even in the future, the brand reputation of Nanshan gearbox will slowly surpass us."

Yoshikawa said something that he was more worried about.

However, Okumura has no good way to solve it.

He is not unaware of the influence of Nanshan Group in China.

It was because he knew that he felt that Aisin should come up with more different solutions to deal with it.

"President, Nanshan Group has been recruiting, and I think the matter of arranging commercial espionage may need to be started as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, we don't know too little about the situation of Nanshan gearbox, and we don't know how to deal with problems when they occur."

"It's hard to explain to shareholders at that time."

Okumura felt that the threat posed by the Nanshan gearbox to Aisin was too great, and he needed to think of an unconventional solution.

Otherwise, something might come out in the future.

"Well, I'll ask the HR department to find a way to see if they have communicated with some experienced intermediary companies."

Yoshikawa felt that Okumura's proposal still had a certain degree of feasibility.

It's worth a good job.

Commercial warfare is inherently all-encompassing.

Nanshan Gearbox has now risen to become Aisin's most important competitor worldwide.

To deal with major competitors, it is natural to have different plans and attitudes.

……

For BMW, they have always been interested in new technologies.

Both Phillips and Aymoha received invitations from the South Hill Gearbox.

Whether you want to participate in it or not is naturally something to discuss.

"Aimoha, our new BMW 5 Series is ready to use some of the 8AT of the Nanshan gearbox."

"Now there are new products launched in Nanshan gearbox, does it mean that there are more advanced products than 8AT?"

"If that's the case, then we can consider using it on the 7 Series in the future."

BMW's relationship with Nanshan Group is now much better.

In particular, the cooperation between Nanshan Battery and BMW electric vehicles has been officially launched.

During this time, BMW also learned more about the situation of Nanshan battery.

What's more, BMW is now a shareholder of Nanshan Battery.

Everyone's relationship is naturally even more extraordinary.

"I think there must be a better technology than the 8AT that comes out."

"Otherwise, why would the Nanshan Group make such a big battle?"

"When the time comes, there will be no products to come up with, and it is not only the Nanshan gearbox that is embarrassing, but also the impact on the Nanshan Group."

"Cao Yang must understand this truth."

Aymoha gave his judgment with certainty.

In his eyes, everything related to Nanshan Group cannot be viewed from the perspective of ordinary Chinese enterprises.

You have to deal with Nanshan Group in accordance with the mentality of communicating with normal world-class enterprises.

Otherwise, it will be BMW that may suffer at that time.

"That's right, if that's the case, then this meeting, it's really necessary for us to take a good look."

"It's best to invite the technical person in charge of gearbox design and matching at the headquarters to come and have a look and feel the new technology on the spot."

Phillips is no longer anti-BMW cars that use more of Nanshan technology.

Xingchen cars sell more expensive than many products of BMW, and the effect of people is very good, why don't they use them?

"Okay, I'll contact you about this."

"I hope there won't be any accidents with Nanshan gearbox this time."

……

Nanshan Group is now very proficient in all kinds of reception activities.

This time, although the new product launch conference or technology exhibition of Nanshan gearbox is relatively large, but in detail, the guests are hundreds of people.

It's not a hassle at all.

Of course, I don't know when Nanshan Group will not book air tickets and hotels for free when entertaining guests.

You can do it yourself and come to the site on time.

Of course, the exception is the case of going to a hotel outside for a test drive.

"Mr. Fang, there is a large exhibition hall at the back of this Great Hall, according to this process, after the press conference, everyone can go to the back to see the exhibition."

"I wanted to sneak over to see what new products were being released, but they refused to let us in."

"It seems that Nanshan Gearbox wants to fully maintain the sense of mystery and let this conference get more attention."

Lin Jiayan naturally followed Fang Dawen to Nanshan Group today.

Up to now, many people have known that Nanshan Gearbox is going to hold a new product launch conference today.

But no one knows what their new products are.

CVT？

9AT？

DSG？

Or is it something else?

No one on the Internet was exposed!

This made Lin Jiayan's heart itch, and she also wanted to get the news as soon as possible.

However, the confidentiality of Nanshan gearbox was done very well, and she didn't inquire.

"Forget it, no one can compare to Nanshan Group in terms of marketing."

"Since they don't want us to know in advance, let's wait."

"That's about half an hour."

Seeing more and more guests in the Great Hall, Fang Dawen raised his left hand and looked at the Rolex Black Water Ghost watch, trying to calm himself down as much as possible.

"There seem to be a lot of people coming today, from Lingnan Province, Yangcheng City, China Automobile Association, ministries and commissions, universities, OEMs, media and other fields."

"I look at the nameplates placed in the front row, and many of them are not low-level."

Since there was no way to get the news in advance, Lin Jiayan could only sit next to Fang Dawen and gossip.

She had just taken a spin, and it was clear that she hadn't gained anything.

"It's normal that Nanshan gearbox can have this achievement, which is indeed a very remarkable thing for Huaxia's gearbox industry."

"If there is no Nanshan gearbox, then most of the current independent brand models will definitely not be able to use 6AT, or even 4AT."

"The contribution made by Nanshan gearbox is still in the eyes of the relevant personnel."

"This time they're going to release a new product, so everyone is naturally curious."

Fang Dawen himself is a little curious about what the new product of Nanshan Gearbox is, and others are naturally no exception.

"The key is that there are also a lot of people from various OEMs."

"Mr. Wang of BYD, Mr. Li of Geely, Mr. Yin of Chery, Mr. Zhu of Chuncheng Automobile Group and others have all come over."

"That's pretty rare."

"Even Austin, the president of Modu General Motors, and Wang Huiliang, the vice president, are here together."

"It's still very rare."

"It seems that everyone is very face-saving to Nanshan Group, and they are also looking forward to the new products of Nanshan Group."

As a veteran media personality in the automotive industry, she must have a good understanding of the situation of the heads of major automotive companies.

Even many people have been interviewed by her, or have had dinner together.

"Nanshan Group's product QCD is often competitive, even if the new product of Nanshan gearbox is not good this time, everyone will come to cheer for other considerations."

"Nanshan Gearbox sent invitations to so many people, obviously hoping to make this event more lively."

"Especially the movements made by Aisin some time ago, many people are watching to see how the Nanshan Group will react."

"Now that Nanshan Group has a reaction, everyone naturally wants to know what the specific reaction is."

What Fang Dawen said was a bit twisted, but Lin Jiayan understood.

Today's meeting is really interesting.

Slowly, as the time came to 9 o'clock, Ji Hua wore a formal suit to the podium.

First of all, it is naturally a thank you.

However, Nanshan Gearbox is a company after all, and Ji Hua also knows that everyone hates his nonsense on it.

Therefore, after reviewing the development process and historical achievements of Nanshan gearbox, he quickly cut to the topic.

"Today we have two series of 5 gearboxes to bring to you, each product has its own characteristics, which can give customers a more adequate choice."

"The first thing we're going to bring to you is a CVT gearbox."

As soon as Ji Hua's words came out, Yin Chuan, who was sitting in the audience, changed his face drastically.

CVT?

Its own Chery Seiko has been engaged in CVT gearboxes for several years.

Compared to automatic transmissions, CVT transmissions have a smoother ride.

The automatic transmission of automatic transmissions will have obvious frustration during gear shifting, while the CVT transmission can achieve continuous shifting because it does not have a fixed gear, and the power output is more linear, making the driving process more stable.

And, the CVT gearbox has more freedom of gear settings.

The automatic transmission has a fixed gear, while the CVT transmission can theoretically set an infinite number of gears, which gives the driver more freedom to adjust the speed and engine speed according to the driving needs, providing a more flexible driving experience.

In addition, the CVT transmission has good fuel economy.

AT automatic transmissions need to complete the transmission through multiple fixed gears, while CVT transmissions achieve multiple transmission ratios through structures such as steel belts and sliders, which can select the best transmission ratio under different working conditions, thereby improving fuel economy.

In addition, the CVT transmission is relatively light and small, which helps to reduce the weight of the vehicle and further reduce fuel consumption.

Yin Chuan has always felt that he chose CVT in an ingenious way, so that he could stand out from a crowd of independent brand competitors.

Who knew that Nanshan Gearbox was also engaged in CVT.

Isn't this equivalent to the fact that other manufacturers such as Great Wall, Changan, and Geely also have CVTs?

And when the time comes, the Nanshan gearbox has the advantage of quantity, and the cost may be lower than that of Chery Automobile.

Then the advantage that Yin Chuan wanted was completely gone.

Even the advantage turned into a disadvantage, which was definitely a situation that Yin Chuan did not want to see.

However, no matter how bad the mood is, Yin Chuan also knows that it is not appropriate to say anything at this time.

Let's listen to how Ji Hua introduced the CVT of Nanshan gearbox.

"A CVT transmission, also known as a continuously variable transmission, is an automatic transmission that achieves continuously variable speed by means of a belt or chain and two sets of tapered pulleys of variable diameter."

"It's very different from conventional geared transmissions because it can continuously change the gear ratios over a wide range, so that the engine is always running at peak working order."

"This time, our Nanshan Transmission has launched a small CVT, a medium CVT and a large CVT to meet the needs of different power and torque outputs."

"In this way, we can make full use of the advantages of the CVT and ensure the smooth output of torque."

"So you must be curious to know what special advantages our products have compared with other products?"

Regarding the introduction of his major, Ji Hua is not stunned at all.

On stage, he was like giving a speech, holding the microphone in his right hand and standing in the middle directly.

"There's a very critical parameter here, and that's the transmission efficiency."

"First of all, we need to understand what transmission efficiency is."

Considering that some of the people who are here today are non-automotive industry people, they don't have a basic understanding of the technical situation of CVTs.

Therefore, Ji Hua's introduction is also relatively introductory.

In other words, it will take into account the content of the introduction and the advanced parameters.

"Transmission efficiency refers to the ratio of the output power of the transmission system to the input power, expressed as a percentage."

"The higher the transmission efficiency, the smaller the power loss of the transmission system and the higher the energy utilization."

"Transmission efficiency is affected by many factors, such as the structure of the transmission system, materials, friction, temperature, lubrication, etc."

"Generally speaking, the transmission efficiency of an AT transmission is around 90 percent, while the transmission efficiency of a CVT transmission is around 80 percent."

"So why is the transmission efficiency of CVT transmissions lower than that of gear transmissions?"

"This is mainly because the CVT transmission needs to consume a part of the oil pressure to push the contact force between the tapered pulley and the belt or chain when it is working, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission."

"In addition, when the chain slides on the tapered pulley, there is also a certain amount of friction and heat, which leads to energy loss."

"Gear transmissions, on the other hand, are transmitted through the meshing between gears, and there is no hydraulic loss and sliding friction loss."

"The transmission efficiency of the CVT produced by our Nanshan transmission can be 87%."

As soon as Ji Hua's words came out, Yin Chuan in the audience changed color again!

87%？

If he remembers correctly, the CVT that Chery is working on itself has a transmission efficiency of only 78%?
