Technological Hegemony

Germany, Wolfsburg.

President Tice and his think tank watched the whole process of the launching ceremony of the Huaxia New Energy Project. The thirteen giant power generation arrays gave everyone a deep shock and a heavy sense of crisis.

"Huaxia has increased its offer and wants to buy out all our factories in China, including North and South Volkswagen, as well as Audi's production lines," said Vice President Jonathan.

hum~

Tees sneered, "I think back then, we were invited by the Huaxia people. Now that they have developed electric vehicle technology, they want to drive us away? It's so naive. The equity is in our hands. It's up to us whether to sell it or not." For our own affairs, we are not afraid even if there is a lawsuit."

The Volkswagen Group is indeed not afraid of a lawsuit, because the contract is clearly written in black and white, and Huaxia and Volkswagen jointly own all the rights and interests of the joint venture.

The current situation is that the China Electric Vehicle Alliance has insufficient production capacity and wants to buy back the joint venture car company, while the overseas car giants refuse to sell their shares.

In this way, assuming that Huaxia uses the joint venture factory for production activities, 49% of the money earned must be distributed to the public according to the contract.

Tees shrugged his shoulders, "The times are different. In the era of electric vehicles, Huaxia has mastered the key technologies, so we don't mind sharing less profits from the joint venture, but it is absolutely impossible to drive us out of the game." of."

"In any case, today is an important day. It depends on the performance of Xingchen Technology tonight. Sooner or later, Huaxia will definitely develop a world-class auto giant, but this is not the key. The key is whether Huaxia can own and Bosch. Same parts giant."

What Tees said made everyone nod. Only those who are really engaged in the automotive industry will understand the importance of Bosch.

Put simply, a car is like a computer.

Computer manufacturers like Dell, Hongji, and Huawei are very powerful.

But even more powerful than computer manufacturers are Intel and AMD that make CPUs, Nvidia that makes graphics cards, Samsung, Toshiba, Western Digital, Seagate that make memory and hard drives, and Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI that make motherboards.

I have never heard of any car manufacturer that can manufacture all parts. Everyone makes some parts themselves, and then buys parts from outside to combine them into a car product.

Judging from the current situation, Xingchen Technology obviously does not intend to build cars by itself. Their goal is even wilder.

Want to replace Bosch, Denso, and Continental, these parts giants, to provide key parts to Huaxia Automobile Enterprises.

You can build electric cars as you like, but you have to buy key components from Xingchen Technology!

The Volkswagen Group is by no means a vegetarian. They clearly understand that the key to the problem is not the three major automobile groups, but whether Star Technology can replace the global leadership of Bosch and Denso.

Therefore, a complex and huge panorama of China's spare parts industry was placed in the center of the group's highest conference room.

Vice President Jonathan stood up and introduced in a deep voice: "Before Star Technology entered the automotive field, Huaxia had 440 interior and exterior manufacturers with a total output value of 122.7 billion."

"612 powertrain manufacturers with an output value of 614.7 billion."

"148 suspension system manufacturers with an output value of 173 billion."

"131 brake system manufacturers with an output value of 147.6 billion."

"Fifty-four car wheel manufacturers with an output value of 145 billion."

"175 steering system manufacturers with an output value of 122.5 billion."

"Sixty-eight new energy system manufacturers with an output value of 122.2 billion."

"Twenty-two automotive air-conditioning manufacturers with an output value of 34.6 billion"

Jonathan explained one by one for everyone. If there were Huaxia people present at the moment, they should be shocked that a German company knows Huaxia so well.

In fact, the global giants have been collecting all the data of China's auto industry. Including those screw manufacturers, the judgment of foreign giants on the overall strength of China's auto industry is so accurate that it is outrageous.

Jonathan paused, and continued: "From this list, it is not difficult to see that before Star Technology, although Huaxia manufactured a large number of automobile products, their parts and components industry was not weak, but very weak."

"The only thing worthy of praise is that Huaxia has a good market share in the field of automobile interior and exterior decoration, but that is precisely the part of the entire automobile industry with the lowest profit and the lowest technological content."

"In addition, there are only a few companies in Huaxia that are truly capable in the field of parts and components. Among them, Huaichai Power is the most important. They have acquired Germany's top hydraulic company Linde at a price of 10 billion yuan. Hydraulics, one of the top ten forklift companies in the world, German KION Forklift, and the world's largest yacht manufacturer, Italy's Faraday Group."

"I have to admire the imagination of Huaxia Enterprises. Huaichai Power was originally a diesel engine manufacturer, but it has actually advanced into the yacht manufacturing industry. It is really amazing."

Everyone sighed for a while. The reason why Huaichai Power became a giant, the acquisition of two top German companies and an Italian company's contribution cannot be underestimated. It would have been better if they had been prevented from acquiring in Germany.

Especially Linde Hydraulics, Shantui, XCMG, Sany, and other large construction machinery manufacturers all need the technology of Linde Hydraulics.

At the beginning, the hydraulic technology was sold to the Huaxia people for 10 billion yuan, and the losses were so serious that the Germans did not expect it. After Huaichai took away the hydraulic technology, Huaxia's construction machinery manufacturing industry immediately stepped up to a higher level.

Jonathan continued to comment on China's existing potential spare parts companies.

Huayu Automobile can manufacture almost anything. Its Yanfeng Interior is the largest interior manufacturer in the country. In addition, they have also acquired Bosch's automotive steering technology and automotive lighting technology.

Hainachuan is a component company of BAIC Group. They acquired the world's second largest auto sunroof manufacturer, Dutch Inalfa Group, and German TRIMET, a manufacturer of aluminum alloy components.

AVIC bought Nexteer Automotive Systems from General Motors of North America, thus gaining a place in the top 100 global auto parts list.

CITIC Dicastal is the world's largest manufacturer of aluminum alloy wheels, and can also manufacture aluminum alloy chassis.

Ningbo Joyson's methods are also very powerful. The top four in the global automotive safety field are ZF of Germany, Takata of Neon, KSS of the United States, and Autoliv of Sweden.

Ningbo Joyson acquired both KSS and Takata, becoming the world's second largest supplier of automotive safety products including airbags.

At present, the world's top four automotive glass are Neon Asahi Glass, Huaxia Fuyao Glass, Neon Panel Glass, and Saint-Gobain of France. The four of them account for 88% of the global automotive glass, so Huaxia Fuyao is also a very powerful giant. .

Jonathan cleared his throat, "However, the sum of all the above companies cannot keep up with the impact that Star Technology has brought to us when it enters the auto parts field."

"This is a crazy opponent. They have the world's best battery technology, electronic control technology, and motor technology!"

"And now, they have set their sights on one of the largest subsystems in the automotive field, tires. If their solid tire technology is a big success, they will get the fourth trump card in the field of auto parts!"

"This is the reason why we want to stop Xingchen Technology with all our strength!"

"As President Deiss just described, the three major Huaxia Automobile Groups are not scary. What is really scary is the fast-rising new generation of parts giant, Xingchen Technology!"

"In a few hours, they will release a new generation of solid tires, and this time, it is also a rare opportunity for us. Together with all the auto industry colleagues in the world, we will launch the most violent bombardment against the shortcomings of solid tires!"

"At that time, all the mainstream media in the world will open fire on Xingchen Technology at the same time, and let them fall into a public opinion hell that will never be restored!"
