Chapter 2276 Mission focus
That night, Duan Yun rushed to the Automobile R&D Center in the High-tech Development Zone and had dinner with the person in charge, Chen Qiao.

"Before I also talked about the task of the group company. As long as the development of new heavy-duty trucks has the relevant funds, we can guarantee that we can complete the task." At the dinner table, Chen Qiao said to Duan Yun confidently.

Chen Qiao's self-confidence comes from the strong strength of the Tianyin Automobile R&D Center. The successful development of several best-selling models in succession has greatly tempered and encouraged the work and running-in of the entire team. The most important thing is that in the continuous research and development of new cars, Telling Group's automotive technology accumulation has been further improved, especially in some key components, major breakthroughs have been made one after another, and some technical levels have fully reached the international advanced level.

However, in all fairness, Tianyin Group is a company that has just entered the automobile industry for not many years. Compared with the top international automobile companies, there is still a big gap. This is mainly reflected in some materials and patented technologies of automobiles. In particular, some patented technologies mastered by world-renowned automakers are technical barriers that other automakers cannot avoid.

Take household car gearboxes as an example. Whether it is an AT gearbox or a CV t gearbox, its patented technology is in the hands of European and American countries. If Duan Yun wants to use a gearbox with this principle, he has to pay a high patent fee .

It is precisely because of this that Duan Yun uses cheap dual-clutch gearboxes that are not subject to patent restrictions in the design of new models. Although there are occasional low-speed dragging phenomena, after so many years of improvement and development, The relevant technologies are already very mature, and in the field of gearboxes, Tianyin Group has gradually obtained some technical patents of its own.

Developed countries in Europe and the United States have always been the builders and executors of market rules. Relying on advanced technology and huge market size, they have established a series of market models that are beneficial to themselves, while other developing countries and developed countries have long been In a position of being harvested, the most powerful harvesting weapon among them is actually a technical patent.

China currently does not have the strength to change the current international business rules. For a Chinese company like Tianyin Group, what Duan Yun can do is to gradually break the rules of Western developed countries within the existing rule system. Patent barriers, this is what Duan Yun has been doing all these years. Whether it is integrated circuits, communication equipment, software or the automobile industry, Duan Yun also has his own technical patent accumulation, which will also enable him to become a veritable multinational giant in the future. With the most solid foreshadowing.

In addition, because of the strength of Tianyin Group itself in chips, microelectronics, communication systems and software, they can make automotive products with more advanced functions. The essence of the brand.

However, considering the reality of the current Chinese auto market, the miniature cars produced by Tianyin Group are mainly cheap, durable, and low maintenance. This is also the most suitable car product for the current national conditions. A true Chinese luxury car brand.

Moreover, although the Shenyang Automobile R&D Center has not developed heavy-duty trucks, Tianyin Group has participated in the development of China's third-generation heavy-duty trucks before, and has been producing a large number of diesel engines for heavy-duty trucks over the years. All the technical information and equipment of the Volvo f10 truck obtained before, so in a short period of time, the Shenyang Automobile R&D Center will be able to launch a new model.

And because it takes at least one to two years to expand the heavy-duty truck base, this leaves a lot of time for the Shenyang R&D Center. They can use this time to continuously test and improve the trucks, and strive to launch new vehicles on the market. Before that, it can ensure that its relative domestic trucks have better performance and longer durability.

"You need to set up a special heavy-duty truck R&D team. Those Soviet experts are the best at R&D trucks. It's fine for them to be in charge of the project, but we must do a good job of localization improvement." Duan Yun thought for a while, and then said: " Also, in this issue, I will arrange for you and the key members of the heavy truck R&D team to go to Europe for inspection, mainly to Germany and Sweden. These two countries have very advanced heavy truck production technology, especially MAN in Germany and Volvo in Sweden. They are very strong in the production and R&D of heavy trucks, although it is impossible for us to obtain their latest technology now, but at least it can give you some references for R&D, and it will also be a rare learning opportunity for you.”

"That's really great." Hearing what Duan Yun said, Chen Qiao showed a look of surprise on his face.

During these years as the person in charge of the Shenyang Automobile R&D Center, Chen Qiao has maintained a regular and busy working state, but it is not advisable to build a car behind closed doors. In the past few years, Chen Qiao has also visited many domestic automobile companies, and has been working with domestic counterparts. He maintained relatively close communication, but in general, the production technology of domestic automobiles still lags far behind that of foreign countries, but Chen Qiao has never had the time and opportunity to go abroad, so Duan Yun suddenly offered him such an opportunity to study abroad. He was naturally very happy about the opportunity to investigate.

"Although heavy-duty trucks are one of the key points of our group company's automobile projects, family cars are our main source of profit and the basis of our foothold in the domestic automobile market, so you can't have the slightest interest in the research and development of new cars. Slack." Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Especially the Shen Xing series sedan, I need you to continue to improve, because this product is the most important flagship model of our group company in the next two to three years. Cost and quality are very important and you have to be aware of that.”

The meaning of Duan Yun's words is obvious, that is, he needs the group company's auto industry to maintain a virtuous growth cycle with high profits. Making money is always the first priority. Although technology research and development is also very important, it must be the premise of ensuring profits. Only then can we do things.

Nowadays, Duan Yun has no time and energy to participate in the R&D and technical improvement of automobiles. The only thing he can do is to let the person in charge of the project understand and strictly implement his intentions. His greatest wealth, investment direction and accurate positioning of the market are actually much more important than product technology.
