Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Cao Yang is very busy during this time.

For several days in a row, he had to receive at least one client every day.

Changan Automobile, Great Wall Automobile, Geely Automobile, Chery Automobile, Spring City Automobile, West Wind Automobile, Modu Automobile...

One counts as one, and all major domestic independent brands come to Nanshan for inspection.

When potential customers came to inspect this time, Nanshan naturally wanted to introduce its 6AT automatic transmission.

Whether it is the structure of the gearbox or the technical route, more or less will be displayed.

Even the various parameters of the 6AT have slowly spread.

As more and more car companies are inspected, everyone gradually realizes that Nanshan 6AT is really powerful.

No wonder it can get orders for Ford Motors.

These professionals in the auto industry know that Ford Motor has developed 6AT by itself, and now it still finds Nanshan to purchase gearboxes. The story is worth deliberating.

"Mr. Cao, although these self-owned brands are our potential customers, I think some people may have malicious intentions."

"Many domestic companies are relatively generous in advertising investment, but they are often reluctant to invest in research and development."

"They probably thought we could all make a 6AT, and they certainly could."

"Now we have provided two 6AT samples to each company. Is there any risk?"

Ji Hua is very familiar with the situation of the domestic automobile transmission industry.

He has studied in this field for more than ten years.

In his view, these domestic car companies always feel that spending money on research and development is a waste.

After all, China's auto industry lacks core technologies, resulting in low-quality cars, making it difficult to compete with well-known foreign brands.

Therefore, some self-owned brand automakers believe that investing in research and development funds will only waste money without bringing them obvious benefits.

Ji Hua hated this situation deeply, but there was nothing he could do.

"What's the risk?"

"Professor Ji, in the past, Aisin's gearbox and ZF's gearbox, couldn't they get samples?"

"But what happened?"

"Until now, I can't copy it out."

"The technical content of our Nanshan 6AT is no lower than that of Aisin and ZF. Even if we give them samples and help them disassemble the parts one by one, they will not be able to copy them."

It's not that Cao Yang looked down on any self-owned brand, but in 2001, the performance of all domestic companies on 6AT was rubbish.

Even after another ten years, this situation has not changed.

There are multiple gears and gear sets inside the automatic transmission, which require precise assembly and adjustment to ensure a good transmission effect.

In addition, automatic transmissions also need to be equipped with multiple components such as hydraulic torque converters, hydraulic control systems, and electronic control systems. The manufacture and assembly of these components require very high technology and precision.

Moreover, the gear set and the gear switching device inside the automatic transmission require very high precision to ensure a good transmission effect. This requires high-precision manufacturing techniques and advanced processing equipment.

Coupled with the weak performance of domestic companies in TCU, it is no wonder that they can achieve results.

So Cao Yang is not worried at all that they will use Nanshan's 6AT to copy.

"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 time to take this opportunity to discuss with them how to install it on the new model."

"When our gearbox factory is put into normal production, the production capacity will burst out in no time."

"At that time, you don't have to worry about not having a market."

Ji Hua naturally wants to see the gearbox division he is responsible for flourish.

If all domestic auto companies are using Nanshan 6AT, then Ji Hua's reputation will spread instantly.

This was something he had dreamed of doing.

"Xiao Zeng will arrange people to connect with these car companies. Taking this opportunity, our bearings, gears, and bolts will also enter the supply system of these companies."

Although the sales volume of self-owned brands in the short term is not as good as that of joint ventures.

But doing things naturally takes the long view.

Cao Yang has no intention of relying on the joint venture all the time.

...

"Dean Chang, if we hold a 6AT gearbox competition one by one, will we be able to achieve results within a year?"

Zhu Zhengfeng, general manager of Spring City Automobile Group, personally listened to the report on 6AT automatic transmission by Spring City Automobile Research Institute.

In the past few days, Nanshan 6AT has attracted the attention of the entire domestic automobile OEMs.

Needless to say, Changan Ford, Shanghai Volkswagen and Shanghai General Motors are also paying close attention to whether the R\u0026D center of the headquarters approves the Nanshan 6AT technology.

As for the various self-owned brands, almost one of them counts as one, and all of them went to Nanshan for a trip.

During this time, Zeng Tingting collected a thick stack of business cards.

With so many customers coming to visit, Nanshan also sent out a batch of 6AT samples.

When these things arrived at various automobile companies, one of them was immediately disassembled.

I almost didn't take a magnifying glass to study it carefully.

"Mr. Zhu, according to our current dismantling analysis, the structure of Nanshan 6AT is different from that of ZF 6AT and Aisin 6AT."

"It looks like some places have been designed more simply, but some places are confusing."

"If it's just a simple imitation, one year is naturally enough."

"But when it comes to the cooling system and the control system of the gearbox, there may eventually be some difficulties to overcome."

Chang Lei naturally did not dare to say that the research institute could handle 6AT.

Now a local private enterprise has produced 6AT, and the technology is still so advanced.

They, the largest automobile research institute in China, said they couldn't do it, but he dared not say so.

Even if Chang Lei is very clear in his heart, let alone a year, even if it is given a few more years, it is impossible for Spring City Automotive Research Institute to produce a 6AT that is better than Aisin and ZF 6AT.

Let alone 6AT, even 4AT is enough.

But he didn't dare to say it directly.

Otherwise, do you still want your own position?

Anyway, stabilize the boss first, and then slowly develop it later.

At that time, the big deal is to buy a batch of spare parts from Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., and assemble them by yourself as the research results of the research institute.

As for the mass production in the future, we can only talk about it after passing this year.

"If you have difficulties, find a way to overcome them."

"I heard that Nanshan and Huaqing University have a cooperative research project on TCU?"

"I heard later that they cooperated with Aisin."

"You can go to the professors of the Vehicle Engineering Department of Huaqing University and discuss cooperation with them."

When Zhu Zhengfeng said this, Chang Lei naturally didn't dare to say no.

Anyway, Huaqing University has been dragged into the water. At that time, Chuncheng Motor Group's 6AT will not be able to produce it, and that is because the TCU cooperated with Huaqing University will not be able to pass the pot.

"Mr. Zhu, I will go to the imperial capital tomorrow to discuss cooperation with Huaqing University."

"In addition, we'd better find a car to use Nanshan 6AT. This will also make it easier for us to ask them for more technical parameters and go to their site for review, visit and study."

Chang Lei knows the strength of the engineers below him very well.

Engaging in 6AT is absolutely unreliable.

In the end, it will definitely depend on copying.

But for such a complicated part as 6AT, you need to know how to copy it.

Otherwise, the result would be ugly and his position would be in danger.
