reborn industrial empire

"Xiaoqiang, we are successful, we are successful, we can build cars!"

Listening to the roar of the engine, Liu Xiaoliang jumped up and down with joy, just like a child who got a new toy.

But when Jin Xiaoqiang heard Liu Xiaoliang's words, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Building a car? It’s still a long way off!

Success? I have just started!

For those large automobile manufacturers, as long as the engine and chassis remain unchanged, each new car requires various experiments, benches, vibrations, 20,000, 50,000, 70,000, and 100,000 kilometers of road tests, audio reviews, etc.

Various reviews, NVH testing of complete vehicles, various components, powertrains, crash tests and other experiments require a total of about 150 test vehicles, and then hundreds of assembly line test vehicles.

The exterior parts are cubed for the whole car, the electrical appliances are tested for performance, and the remaining various routine tests are done. Generally, a new car takes 36 months to design.

Even a facelifted car requires 12-18 months of redesign!

But now I have just built an engine. It will take a long time to actually put this engine into a mature car.

According to Jin Xiaoqiang's experience, it will take at least one year to one and a half years, of course, the premise is that you have to use the golden finger.

Everyone present looked ecstatic, only Jin Xiaoqiang looked calm, because he knew that there was still a long way to go after this.

At present, this 1.6L engine has been developed, but what has been developed now is only part of the hardware, and the most important part is the driving computer ECU, so at present they can only be regarded as half successful.

As far as the current level of technology is concerned, every successful engine will pay attention to two words: tuning, and this so-called tuning is exactly the tuning of the driving computer ECU.

At present, people like Liu Xiaoliang have only completed the hardware facilities. What needs to be completed in the future is the electronic throttle control technology of e-gas, which needs to be adjusted by the ECU.

Originally, this engine was equipped with a Boschme7.5.20 ECU trip computer. This trip computer was originally developed by Bosch specifically for the Volkswagen Polo, and it just came out this year.

So they still don't know if they can get this driving computer from Bosch. If they can't get it, then they will have to develop their own technology and data to study it.

However, Jin Xiaoqiang has handed over this matter to Ding Weizhong. Ding Weizhong is an early graduate of a prestigious university. He happens to have several classmates working at Volkswagen. Some time ago, he had contacted Bosch through these classmates.

On the other hand, Bosch didn't refuse him outright, but he didn't agree outright either.

It is estimated that they will make certain modifications to this ECU, which was specially developed for Polo, before handing it over to Jin Xiaoqiang and the others.

But as long as you can talk about it, there is no need to worry.

What Jin Xiaoqiang and the others have to do now is to practice their internal skills and lay a solid foundation for themselves. It's not too early to be happy yet.

After all, in China, if you want to enter the automobile industry, you have to face the issue of birth certificate.

This birth certificate is the state’s permission for companies to enter the automobile manufacturing industry, and it is also a document that the state approves for you to enter the automobile industry.

China's automobile birth certificate was implemented in 1985 and has been in existence for almost twenty years. It has gone through two stages: the catalog system and the announcement system.

The catalog system is an administrative distribution system. Just like the background of China's implementation of the population and family planning policy in 1980, after the reform and opening up, various provinces and central ministries and commissions rushed to build automobile production lines. The number of vehicle companies nationwide doubled to more than 120

, the phenomenon of low-level duplication of construction is obvious, but chassis resources are seriously insufficient. It is under this situation and in accordance with the requirements of the State Council that China began to implement the "family planning" of the automobile industry characterized by "Catalogue" management.

The "Catalogue" was jointly issued by the China Federation of Automobile Manufacturers, the then industry management department, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport. In the 15 years from 1985 to 2000, the "Catalogue" published a total of 1,164 vehicle manufacturers of various types and 48,000 models.

indivual.

Although the "Catalogue" system has played a certain role in curbing the blind expansion of the automobile industry, due to the relatively heavy administrative management and lack of transparency in the operation method, an open and equal competition mechanism of survival of the fittest has not been formed. The catalog resources are too strictly controlled, especially for private enterprises.

For enterprises, it’s not that the threshold is too high, but that there is no door at all.

Brother Shufu, the famous boss of Liji Group in later generations, had been working hard for ten years for this "catalog" birth certificate. Later, he adopted the method of killing first and then showing off before entering the Chinese automobile market.

In the announcement era of 2001, the car lifetime system was abolished and the farewell to the "catalog" era was announced.

Because of China's unique economic development philosophy, although the catalog system was announced to investors in the early 1990s, in the era of the new announcement system, the serial numbers of the catalog still existed.

For many moribund automobile companies, as long as their catalog serial numbers are still there, they may not have no chance of making a comeback. And for those investors who covet the automobile industry, this catalog serial number is still an insurmountable mountain.

In other words, although it is now an announcement system, if you want to enter the automobile industry, you must obtain the "Catalog" serial number, which means that you must spend money from those dying state-owned automobile companies.

Buy their business at a large price, or the serial number of the "Catalog".

Only by getting this serial number can you set up an automobile company and carry out automobile research and development and marketing.

This is the main reason why under the glorious leadership of t*g, China’s privately owned self-branded cars started so late and developed so slowly.

A few years ago, in 2003, Lifan, which had been producing two-wheeled motorcycles, acquired the Chongqing Special Automobile Manufacturing Factory and obtained the serial number, thus starting to produce four-wheeled vehicles.

Also this year, BYD, which originally produced mobile phone batteries, obtained the serial number through the acquisition of Qinchuan Automobile and entered the Chinese automobile industry.

Now Jin Xiaoqiang is facing the same problem, that is, if he wants to enter the Chinese car market, he also needs to obtain the serial number of this "Catalogue".

what does that mean?

This means that he needs a lot of money!

You must know that even many of the original state-owned automobile factories are in a dying state, but if you want to negotiate acquisitions with them, if you don't have hundreds of millions in your hands, you shouldn't even talk.

Moreover, you have to take over a large number of original factory workers, as well as their pension issues, the issue of making up for the arrears of wages, and their debts. Moreover, you have to deal with various relationships, all of which are related.

The money, I'm afraid, is no less than tens of millions.

Although Jin Xiaoqiang has a small amount of assets now, if he talks about acquiring a car factory for fun, it is simply a fantasy now.

What's more, even if you acquire a car factory, you still need to engage in research and development and develop new models, which require astronomical investments. What's more, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you still need to recruit troops, upgrade equipment, etc.

, these are all places where money is spent.

As for the assets that Jin Xiaoqiang now owns, which are less than 30 million, he would not hear the sound of water even if he were thrown into this deep pit.

So now is really not the time to think about how to produce cars. The key issue now is to practice the basic skills first and lay a solid foundation.

Make this 1.6L engine, then switch to the 1.8L engine, and then get the 2.0 and 2.4L engines. At the same time, we will match the cvvt and dvvt technologies on this engine.

At the same time, we are taking over the gearbox technology. You must know that this is the biggest problem facing China's automobile industry. You must know that before Jin Xiaoqiang was reborn, China's independent brand cars have launched various models of their own research and development.

engine.

But even in the area of ​​the transmission box, I have been unable to win it!

The core part of a car is the car's powertrain, which includes the car's engine and gearbox.

Manual transmission is not a problem for China's automobile industry now. After all, what we have always done is manual transmission, but the future development trend is that automatic transmission will become the mainstream.

After all, with the development of the city and the increase of wealthy people, the traffic situation in the city will definitely be extremely congested. By then, the stop-and-go situation of cars in the city will become the norm, and this situation will become a problem for manual driving.

A nightmare for car drivers.

Therefore, the demand for automatic transmission cars will definitely increase greatly by then. Therefore, if we can obtain the technology of automatic transmission and match this automatic transmission technology with our self-developed engine, then this will

It can be said to be a major breakthrough in China's automobile industry.

You must know that even ten years later, China Automobile has not made any major breakthroughs in the gearbox.

The only bright spot at that time was that after Brother Shufu acquired DSI in Australia, China claimed to be able to mass-produce automatic transmission boxes.

However, this output has never been able to increase. It is always blocked by the giants of the foreign automobile industry in various aspects, making it impossible for you to breathe comfortably.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang had already made plans for the next step when this engine started to operate normally, which was to develop a series of engines such as 1.8l, 2.0l, 2.4l, etc.

At the same time, he also had to overcome the problem of the automatic transmission!

Leaving aside the popular 6-speed automatic transmissions, 7-speed automatic transmissions, etc. in later generations, if we can now make a 4-speed automatic transmission produced by China, it will definitely become a legend.

Jin Xiaoqiang felt excited when he thought that in the next few years, powertrains would come out of his factory one after another and be sold all over China. He was really looking forward to such a situation!
