Valley Emperor

Well, the military purchased a small amount of West Lake sedans for the senior generals on the top floor as vehicles. Others have no opinion. Anyway, the senior generals only need that much, and they don't need much.

​​

But there are too many generals in the military, there is no proper reason, the military is really not good at purchasing cars as vehicles for middle and senior officers.

​​

This is a little too swaggering.

​​

No, Qixiang Automobile Company is considerate and fully understands the customer's mentality. It is not necessary for the military to say that Qixiang Automobile Company has taken the initiative to improve and launch a so-called 'battlefield command vehicle'.

​​

In this way, the military has a reason to purchase this command vehicle, and the reason is quite sufficient to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.

​​

Seeing that West Lake Automobile Company and Qixiang Automobile Company have successively opened up the market for ordinary troops, Zhongyuan Automobile Company is also very eye-catching!

​​

But after trying for a long time, it didn't work!

​​

How should I put it, this thing is still too expensive. A military truck with a load of 1.5 tons from Zhongyuan Automobile Co., Ltd., which is the truck purchased by the mechanized army, even if it is sold to the military, it will cost 2,000 Tang yuan. .

​​

More expensive than most sedans on the market today.

​​

In the past two years, with the expansion of production capacity, large-scale production, and dilution of research and development costs, and more importantly, in order to kill other potential competitors, Qixiang Motors has continuously reduced costs and reduced prices. Its core product Qixiang brand The standard price of a sedan has been compressed to 1,600 Tang Yuan, and the high-end version does not exceed 2,000 Tang Yuan.

​​

Moreover, Qixiang Automobile Co., on the basis of Qixiang brand cars, carried out simple configuration to reduce costs, and launched a cheaper Feixiang brand car. The beggar version only costs one thousand Tang yuan...

​​

The low price makes other car companies stop in the civilian car market, except for Hangzhou Power Machinery Co., Ltd.!

​​

They have always positioned themselves as high-end luxury cars. The company's Westlake luxury cars have never cut prices and are still in short supply.

​​

Last year, in order to compete with Qixiang Automobile Company, they established a new sub-brand within the company, preparing to open up the market below 5,000 Tang Yuan, and at the same time restrain Qixiang Automobile Company from exploring upwards.

​​

But even so, the price of their sub-brand Donghai brand car is still more than 3,000 Tang yuan, and it has been very popular after its release. Found a car brand that matched their psychological positioning.

​​

And no matter what kind of car it is, the price is actually very expensive, even if it is just over one thousand and two thousand Tang Yuan for Qixiang brand and Feixiang brand cars, this kind of price is a luxury item for the contemporary Datang people.

​​

And the trucks of the Zhongyuan Automobile Company are more expensive than the luxury accessories of the Qixiang Automobile Company, and the military can't be cruel.

​​

Therefore, the military, especially the army, believes that we have railways and ships for long-distance marches. After arriving at the front line, we need a car. We can run faster on two legs, and we are not restricted by terrain.

​​

When we fought against the Tatars in the unification war, we still won the war with two legs!

​​

But to put it bluntly, it is too expensive!

​​

The current types of vehicle equipment are still too expensive. The military wants to wait for the price to drop before large-scale equipment.

​​

After all, if you want large-scale equipment. Given the size of the Tang Army and the Guards, it is not a matter of one or two vehicles, but a problem of tens of thousands of vehicles. How much would it cost to purchase one at the current price of several thousand Tang Yuan? Hundreds of millions of Tang Yuan in minutes!

​​

This time, the Central Plains Automobile Company hooked up with the South China Arms Company, followed by the concepts of unprotected armored vehicles and front-line personnel transport vehicles, and once again sold their trucks to the military to expand the market.

​​

But they never imagined...

​​

The military is indeed very interested in their company's troop transport vehicle, but when they turned around, the military directly mounted the heavy machine gun on the active Central Plains truck, which saved money and enhanced the firepower of the transport vehicle.

​​

But the military's stingy attitude made the South China Arms Company and the Central Plains Automobile Company's popularity so bad.

​​

For this reason, the people from the Central Plains Automobile Company began to calculate the loss, and planned to take the loss back in the later order, so that you would **** it, and sooner or later have to spit it out.

​​

As long as the military still wants to equip truck-type military vehicles, they can't get around their Central Plains Automobile Company, because the truck-related patents are all in their hands, and they can slap the military hard with these patents.

​​

As for the pressure, please, their Central Plains Automobile Company is also a purely state-owned enterprise.

​​

Not only the Central Plains Automobile Company, but in fact several other automobile companies have also participated in the military's mechanization projects by cooperating with the three major weapons companies.

​​

After all, in the related fields of vehicles, these car companies are the authorities, and they almost control the patents and technologies of the entire industry.

​​

Even if the three major arms companies can rely on the military and take national defense needs as interest, they force them to license patents to the three major arms companies to a limited extent, but this thing is not something that can be created with patents.

​​

For example, the engine technology, the basic gasoline engine patent authorization, has been authorized to more than ten companies after the integration of the Royal Institute of Technology, but how many companies can mass-produce gasoline engines now?

​​

Four!

​​

That is, Songjiang Heavy Machinery Company, Zhongyuan Automobile Company, Hangzhou Power Machinery Company, and Qixiang Automobile Company.

​​

Others, at most, remain in the stage of small-scale manual production. Even if they can be mass-produced, they will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of performance and price.

​​

Over time, the four major auto companies have become more and more powerful in the automotive field, especially the core gasoline engine field.

​​

The engines of the more than ten armored vehicles tested before are all products of the four major automobile companies.

​​

The engines and other related technologies issued by the heavy-duty six-wheeled armored vehicles actually come from the Songjiang Heavy Machinery Company, and only they can play these big guys.

​​

The relevant technology of the compact four-wheeled armored vehicle comes from Qixiang Automobile Company. It has to be said that Qixiang Automobile Company has great advantages in technology, and the cost control is very good.

​​

As for the unprotected armored vehicle and the troop transport vehicle, its technical source is naturally the Zhongyuan Automobile Company~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So the military armored vehicle project, on the surface, seems to be the competition between the three major weapons companies, but in fact, the three Big arms companies compete with their car company allies.

​​

The three major weapons companies alone cannot develop armored vehicles.

​​

On the basis of the car company's words, it's okay to let them build the body of the armored car, but you can't let them add a machine gun to the top. It's not because of their lack of strength, but because they don't have the R&D and production licenses related to guns.

​​

Only the three major weapons companies have this thing!

​​

Therefore, their cooperation model is basically that the car company provides the site for the car body and related technologies, while the weapons company modifies the site and finally launches the finished product.

​​

After being disgusted by the military, the people at Zhongyuan Automobile Company were a little annoyed.

​​

But some people are annoyed, but at the same time some people are happy!

​​

Because the Datang military has officially purchased one of the armored vehicles on a small scale.
