Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Magic City is said to be big, it is an international metropolis, various industries are prosperous, there are many high-rise buildings everywhere, and there is a lot of traffic.

Maybe many people live in the magic city for a lifetime, and it is impossible to visit all the magic city.

There are countless branches of the world's top 500 companies in Shanghai. Various foreign-funded enterprises, joint ventures, private enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and many financial industries support the development of Shanghai.

The city is said to be small, but in fact it is only that small in size, and the local resources are not unlimited. It is impossible to supply the growth of two large automakers at the same time.

SAIC, the largest domestic automaker in later generations, has a long history, dating back to the 1940s.

Many people only know that SAIC’s first car was named SH760, but they don’t know that SAIC was not called SAIC a long time ago, but when it was called Modu Automobile Assembly Plant, the first car was knocked out by hand. Based on the Mercedes-Benz 220S sedan, it was developed and called Phoenix.

It is also a standing mark, a phoenix soaring with wings, that is SAIC's first car. It was not until the 1960s that the SH760 officially rolled off the assembly line.

The SH760 was improved on the basis of the Phoenix, with a simple and clear appearance design. In addition to using a large number of chrome-plated parts for decoration on the front face, it was also equipped with a cylindrical headlight that was quite "popular" in China at that time.

In terms of power, the SH760 is equipped with a 2.2L Jinfeng 680QK inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum power of 90Ps, a maximum torque of 166N m, and a maximum speed of 133km/h. The transmission adopts a four-speed manual gearbox.

This can be said to be the ceiling of domestically produced cars at that time, and unlike the Hongqi sedan, it began to be sold to ordinary people in the 1960s and 1970s. In comparison, Shangche is undoubtedly closer to the common people and more cordial.

In 1979, the year Jiang Xiaobai went to college, the Modu Automobile Factory officially changed its name to SAIC.

At that time, more than 20,000 vehicles had been produced in total.

In the early 1980s, SAIC Motor once became the main model of official vehicles and taxis in my country.

If the above is the stage of laying the foundation for SAIC, I have to say that the foundation of SAIC is very solid and quite good.

After entering the 1980s and 1990s, the cooperation between SAIC and Volkswagen has truly made SAIC a leader among domestic enterprises. In 1987, only tires, radios, and antennas were domestically produced among Santana's components, but by 1998, more than 90% of the vehicle's components were provided by local manufacturers.

This is the achievement of SAIC. After all, the Santana model is a best-seller. As famous as it used to be, SAIC is as good as it is.

Later, it cooperated with GM, which completely allowed SAIC to take off.

Until later, SAIC became the largest automobile manufacturer in China, and also acquired Nanjing Automobile and the like.

Even at this time, SAIC is of that kind among domestic automakers, let alone Shanghai.

In the past, although it was said that the devil had a Huahai car, Huahai car was not in his eyes at all.

Although Huahai Automobile is a joint venture car in name, in reality, it is a joint venture car.

The foreign Huahai Automobile was established after Jiang Xiaobai acquired two automobile factories. Looking at the two automobile factories that he acquired, they couldn't sustain it.

Volga Automobile Factory and Liha Qiaofu Automobile Factory, when Jiang Xiaobai bought them, certainly had a historical background at that time, but there were also reasons why the two companies did not compete well.

Compared with Volkswagen, these two car factories are far behind, and Volkswagen is one of the four largest car manufacturers in the world.

The foreign brands that are still the earliest to enter the country, their domestic popularity and brand image, the two are simply not the same.

Although Huahai Automobile is backed by the Huaqing Holding Group, it is considered to be strong. It needs funds, marketing, marketing, channels, and technology.

In the eyes of many people, it can be regarded as a very good automobile factory, but it is not regarded by SAIC at all.

Huahai Automobile has a backer, backed by the Huaqing Holding Group. Does it mean that they have no backer for SAIC?

Just kidding, they are state-owned enterprises. In terms of background, are they afraid of Huaqing Holding Group, which is a Fortune 500 company in the world. Don't they rely on strength to speak? Come bully a try.

Besides, they're local baby bumps.

How can you be afraid of Huahai Automobile?

But it suddenly changed. Jiang Xiaobai paid a lot of money to buy the two brands of Luofu Automobile Factory, plus the four brands transferred from Ford.

Huahai Automobile has suddenly become the most powerful automaker in China, so if the local attitude will change, we need to ask.

If Huahai Automobile is cultivated well, it may have the hope of becoming one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world.

And now they are still relying on the support of Volkswagen and GM to live on. Needless to say, this one has more potential, it is obvious.

SAIC already relies on local support, and there is no need to be too partial to Huahai Automobile here in Shanghai. As long as it treats the two fairly in terms of policy and other aspects, then SAIC will have a hard time.

Because Huaqing Holding Group will definitely not support SAIC.

It’s not that SAIC thinks too much, but the reputation of being one of the world’s largest automakers in Shanghai may change the attitude of Shanghai. This is not impossible, and it is very tempting. .

In addition, after the rise of Huahai Automobile, it will also carve up the domestic market. Huahai Automobile has technology and brand, and can compete with Volkswagen and GM for the market.

My younger brother, who was still relying on popular and general-purpose technology, was left behind in an instant.

So SAIC is not in a hurry now.

Moreover, Luofu Automobile was acquired by Huahai Automobile, which also disrupted the rhythm of SAIC. Originally, SAIC also had ideas for Luofu Automobile. It wanted to use Luofu Automobile's technology to develop and research its own independent brand, but it was acquired by Huaqing Holding Group. up.

Still only cost one Hong Kong dollar.

This news surprised and angered SAIC.

Among the major state-owned automobile manufacturers in China, he is the most threatened.

After the news came, SAIC immediately held an emergency high-level meeting to study how to deal with the rise of Huahai Automobile.

It can be regarded as the fastest responding among domestic automakers.

However, other automakers were not slow to respond. For example, some people from Jili, Lifan, Wanxiang Automobile, etc. rushed to Shanghai.
