Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

The car accident of the starry sky sports car, the layman watched the excitement, while the insider watched the doorway.

No matter what brand of model it is, it is the most prone to problems in car accidents.

Or the airbag didn't explode in time.

Or the door can't be opened.

Either the car body was broken in two, or torn apart.

In short, few car companies hope that their models will encounter tragic car accidents.

That is to say, the Xingchen car is quite special.

Whether it was the collision between Ziweixing and Audi TT in Germany at the beginning, or the collision of the starry sky against the pier during this period, it has brought great prestige to Xingchen Automobile.

"Old Chang, do you think the crash performance of our Dahongqi has an advantage compared with other models of the same level?"

With so much excitement on the Internet, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Zhengfeng to not see anything.

Seeing that Xingchen Motors launched a new model and it became popular, he was also a little envious.

The sales volume of a flagship high-end model like Dahongqi is about to be overtaken by a sports car like Xingkong, so his mood is naturally very complicated.

"Mr. Zhu, our Dahongqi uses a large number of hot stamping parts. Compared with Bentley and A8 of the same level, it is naturally not bad."

"But the performance gap between everyone will not be very big. If the two cars are installed together, it will be a lose-lose situation in all likelihood."

Chang Lei is also very smart.

From Zhu Zhengfeng's words, he could hear the general meaning.

This kind of collision marketing is not something everyone can do.

Be it Bentley, A8, or Mercedes-Benz S series, they are all imported directly from abroad.

People's steel materials still didn't come out of cutting corners.

In this case, it is not easy to find a soft persimmon like Passat.

Don't become a persimmon by then, then life will be difficult for him as the director of the research institute.

"Compared with ordinary hot stamping parts, is the integrated hot stamping door knocker technology much more difficult?"

Zhu Zhengfeng obviously did not give up, and wanted to make Dahongqi a representative of safety.

In China, the integrated hot stamping door knocker technology is undoubtedly one of the representative technologies for the safety performance of the car body.

"From the perspective of parts design, it must be more difficult."

"After all, so many parts are synthesized into one part, which part needs to be thicker and which part needs to be thinner, which requires continuous simulation to determine."

"But this is not the most difficult. After all, we can directly learn from the practice of looking up or the starry sky, and just imitate it."

"The most difficult thing is how to produce such parts."

"Although both the Spring City Fourth Ring Factory and the Spring City Stamping Factory have introduced hot stamping production lines from Nanshan Group, they can already produce hot stamping parts such as A-pillars and B-pillars."

"However, the difficulty of producing such a large part as an integrated door knocker is completely different."

"So far, only Nanshan Mold has the experience in producing such large-scale hot stamping molds in the world."

"As long as the other party does not agree to supply us, even if we design this kind of parts, there is no way to produce them."

Chang Lei's research on hot stamping technology is relatively in-depth.

After all, this is a hot technology in recent years.

However, the more I research, the more I feel that there are actually quite a few thresholds.

Don't look at the parts companies under the Spring City Motor Group, such as the Sihuan Factory, which have already begun to involve in the production of hot stamping parts.

But they just stepped into the threshold with one foot, and they were completely supported by Nanshan Group to sell equipment and molds.

Otherwise, it will be at least a few years before they have the relevant basic skills.

In this case, if Dahongqi wants to adopt the integrated hot stamping door knocker technology, it must depend on whether Nanshan Group agrees or not.

"Looking back at our bulletproof version of the Red Flag, we must use this technology."

"At that time, I will communicate with Mr. Cao personally."

When Zhu Zhengfeng said this, Chang Lei naturally didn't dare to refute.

However, he can emphasize the gap between himself and Nanshan Group from other angles.

"Mr. Zhu, Xingchen Automobile's Xingkong sports car has caused such a heated discussion on the Internet this time. In addition to the hot stamping technology, the extensive use of carbon fiber parts is also indispensable."

"It was specifically introduced in their promotional materials before that the engine compartment at the front of the car and the suitcase at the rear of the car are all made of carbon fiber materials in large quantities."

"I inquired specifically, Nanshan Group really has a factory dedicated to the production of carbon fiber."

"It's just that this factory has always been very low-key, and people outside don't know much about it."

"If it weren't for the birth of the star sports car, everyone might not have noticed this."

When Chang Lei said this, Zhu Zhengfeng's interest was indeed diverted.

"carbon fiber?"

"If this thing is used in a large number of cars, isn't there a lot of difficulties?"

"I remember that even if it is a foreign sports car, it is only used in a small amount?"

Zhu Zhengfeng, as the general manager of Spring City Automobile Group, naturally couldn't be ignorant of carbon fiber.

Even this word is now considered a hot word.

Of course, when people appear more, they are not on the car.

"Although often overlooked, the design and processing of automobile bodies has always been at the forefront of the automobile manufacturing industry."

"Many car enthusiasts are familiar with various engine or chassis technologies, but they know little about the research and development status of the body."

"I think the body is actually the most important part of a car. It exists as a structural part that carries all the components on the car, just like a human skeleton."

"And the engine, gearbox, steering gear, axle, and suspension are attached to the bones like organs and tendons."

"With the development of aviation technology, a lighter and stronger material is needed in the manufacture of aircraft. At this time, metal materials can no longer meet the needs of the aviation industry, and carbon fiber came into being."

"The earliest carbon fiber was mainly used in F1 racing cars in the automotive field. Until now, only supercar-level vehicles abroad have used a little carbon fiber parts."

"The appearance of the starry sky sports car has changed this situation."

"It can even be said that the Xingkong sports car is the first sports car that uses a large amount of carbon fiber body."

"Carbon fiber has excellent toughness and tensile strength, and it is only 1/4 the weight of steel."

"Lightweight, high-strength characteristics are exactly the characteristics required for high-performance vehicles."

"However, the lack of ductility of carbon fiber is its obvious disadvantage. When subjected to impacts beyond the limit, the carbon fiber structure will shatter like glass."

"And the connection between carbon fiber and other materials is also a problem. Using traditional bolting, cracks are easily generated around the connection hole."

"The high manufacturing cost of carbon fiber materials is the most important factor restricting its development. Even the application of carbon fiber in the aviation field is relatively limited."

"This time, Xingchen Motors was able to apply a large amount of carbon fiber to the Xingkong sports car, which shows that they have made obvious progress in this regard."

"I have carefully looked at the photos of the starry sky sports car that was in a car accident, although the smashing of the front and rear of the car has something to do with the poor ductility of carbon fiber."

"But compared to the phenotype in the general crash test, the carbon fiber on the starry sky is obviously more tough."

"The most important thing is that they have made good use of hot stamping parts and carbon fiber parts, which have played a very good role in strengthening."

"In this regard, Xingchen Automobile is already at the forefront of all car companies in the world."

Chang Lei has had a lot of contact with Nanshan Group in the past two years.

The more you get in touch, the more you can feel the huge difference in technology between each other.

To put it bluntly, the technology mastered by their research institute is not enough in front of Nanshan Group.

As for carbon fiber technology, there is no need to compare.

Spring City Motor Group has not even started to get involved in this technology, and only has a simple understanding of its performance.

However, Nanshan Group can produce carbon fiber by itself, and it has also been applied to the Xingkong sports car on a large scale.

"This carbon fiber material, if I remember correctly, the domestic technology should be relatively backward?"

"But according to you, Nanshan Group is already at the forefront of the world in this regard?"

"how can that be possible?"

It was a bit difficult for Zhu Zhengfeng to understand what Chang Lei said.

This is a bit unreasonable.

"Mr. Zhu, in aerospace and other fields, maybe our domestic carbon fiber technology is indeed relatively poor, and there is still a certain gap with foreign countries."

"But on the car body, Nanshan Group's carbon fiber technology is definitely an international leader."

"At least their processing technology and cost control technology are internationally leading."

Chang Lei gave his own judgment with certainty.

A Spring City Automobile Group that has not yet started researching carbon fiber can realize the extraordinary carbon fiber technology of Nanshan Group. Huaxia is so big, it is naturally impossible for others not to pay attention to this.

Soon, many customers in aerospace and other special fields began to approach Nanshan Group to inspect their carbon fiber factory.

"Mr. Cao, I feel that these people who came to investigate probably came with the idea of ​​stealing the teacher."

"For example, foreign carbon fiber companies all refuse related companies from Huaxia to inspect their production sites."

"Our carbon fiber has finally started to be used on a large scale in automobiles. Even some foreign luxury car brands have handed over parts that use carbon fiber technology such as rearview mirrors to Nanshan Auto Parts for production."

"If our technology is leaked out, it is estimated that the profit of carbon fiber parts will be suppressed in one fell swoop."

Zeng Tingting doesn't have such a strong sense of family and country, she just wants to improve her sales performance.

She knows the performance of some domestic enterprises best.

Just look at how many sets of hot stamping forming equipment Nanshan Equipment has sold.

The profits of hot stamping parts, which were originally superior, are very lucrative.

After domestic manufacturers saw it, they immediately rushed to launch their own hot stamping production lines.

Now carbon fiber parts also exist on a high level.

Only supercars and high-end models will consider a small amount of use.

As the only company in China that can produce carbon fiber auto parts, Nanshan Auto Parts is quite optimistic about this direction.

It would be a pity if the domestic counterparts spoil the market without earning any money.

After all, this market is mainly overseas, and the price has been lowered, and it is those overseas manufacturers who have benefited.

"They want to buy carbon fiber and we can think about selling it."

"Even some carbon fiber materials with special properties, we can also specialize in research."

"However, for the processing technology and equipment of carbon fiber, we must fully consider the way the other party uses it before we consider whether to sell it."

"If it's an aerospace-related company, they don't do auto parts business, and they don't have any competitive relationship with us, as long as they are bound in the contract, they can earn money."

Cao Yang was not that worried.

Carbon fiber parts are different from other parts, and the threshold is much higher.

The most important thing is that this market is relatively small, and even if other manufacturers have this technology, they may not be able to win the approval of customers.

Unlike the Nanshan Group, which has already established a reputation internationally.

"That is to say, I am afraid that after purchasing our equipment, these people will use various means to circumvent the restrictions on the contract."

Zeng Tingting felt that what Cao Yang said was reasonable, but she was still worried.

"As long as we hold the carbon fiber production technology in our hands, we will not easily sell it to the outside world. Even if they have mastered other processing technologies and processing equipment, it is impossible for them to compete with us."

For example, some aerospace-related companies, if they took a fancy to Nanshan Group's carbon fiber processing technology, Cao Yang knew that it was impossible for him not to sell it.

Of course, there is a high probability that people will not mess around, and will buy according to normal business rules.

At most, it is in terms of price, or the imported ones are cheaper.

You must know that high-end carbon fiber materials cannot be bought even if you are willing to spend money in the international market.

Now that Nanshan Group is willing to sell, they should be satisfied in the short term.

After all, Nanshan Group is not a soft persimmon. It is a star enterprise in Yangcheng and even Lingnan Province, and it is also well-known internationally.

"That……"

"Then I will arrange the reception normally?"

The boss had no objection, so Zeng Tingting naturally couldn't continue talking too much.

"I'll also inform the district to see if Liu Tianwu wants to attend together."

"Many of the teams who came to our company for inspection are also at the administrative level."

"There may be ideas in the district to take the initiative to assist the reception."

After being the boss for so many years, Cao Yang's awareness is extraordinary now.

If some things are not communicated well, troubles will easily arise.

It even feels unappreciated.

It's impossible for him to personally participate in every reception work, so he doesn't have to do other things.

...

When Nanshan Group began to receive waves of investigations from potential carbon fiber customers, Xiang Changle naturally got the news.

"Ayang, I think you have a lot to do with carbon fiber materials."

"It is possible to separate it out and set up Nanshan Carbon Fiber Company."

"At that time, you will not only be able to sell carbon fiber materials, but even produce some carbon fiber parts and products."

"For example, fishing rods and golf clubs may have unexpected effects."

"Our School of Materials is also very willing to cooperate with your company."

As a representative of high-tech materials, the application scenarios of carbon fiber are very broad.

Although Xiang Changle is not engaged in materials, as long as he is engaged in industry, it is impossible for him to know nothing about materials.

After all, no matter what part it is, it needs to be processed with materials.

"Teacher, I think the Institute of Automobiles can completely combine with the production and research of auto parts to develop the carbon fiber project."

"At that time, the School of Materials, the School of Automobiles and Nanshan Carbon Fiber will work together to integrate the production and colleges."

Cao Yang naturally knew very well that Xiang Changle would call him, there must be some purpose.

Anyway, it's all about cooperation. If we cooperate with the School of Materials, which I'm not very familiar with, it's better to bring the School of Automobiles in as well.

At that time, Xiang Changle will also have a share of the credit.

Looking at it from another angle, Xiang Changle can also help him restrain the School of Materials.

For Nanshan Carbon Fiber, it is a good thing.

"That's fine too. I'll talk to the School of Materials later, and then I'll come over to hold a meeting with you guys."

After listening to Cao Yang's words, Xiang Changle naturally didn't have any objections.

Although there are a lot of research and development of carbon fiber in China, not many have produced decent results.

Now that Cao Yang is willing to bring him into the arena, it is naturally the best.

"Well, but at that time, our project will not only cooperate with Lingnan University of Technology, but also have a special cooperative research with Beihang University."

"There is even some cooperation with AVIC."

Before officially launching the cooperation, Cao Yang naturally wanted to make things clear.

Otherwise, Xiang Changle would think that this is their exclusive cooperation project, and he would feel resentful at that time, then it would not be beautiful.

"I've heard about this. The place where carbon fiber materials are used the most is the aerospace field."

"It's no wonder they didn't look for you."

"At that time, how should you cooperate with them?"

"As long as we focus on the application of the automotive field, we will not be involved in other fields."

Obviously, Xiang Changle still has a clear understanding of the current situation.

It is not easy for a company in China to produce high-end carbon fiber, and the associated manufacturers naturally cannot pretend that they have not seen it.

It's just that Toray's international carbon fiber manufacturers are probably going to be depressed.

Originally, they could lure domestic customers with super high prices, but such good days are gone forever.

There will definitely be more and more things like this in the future.
