Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2400
In the newly established production workshop of the heavy-duty truck base, Duan Yun listened to Chen Qiao's detailed introduction with a thoughtful look on his face.

Judging from the development experience of domestic automobiles in the previous life, due to the backwardness of heavy industry technology, the early domestic automobiles could only close the gap with the international automobile field through reverse imitation. This process lasted for decades. The introduction of new technologies and development and innovation have brought this gap to 5 to 8 years, which is not easy.

In terms of civilian cars, developed countries such as Europe, America, and Japan adopt different technologies. The Japanese auto industry is relatively conservative. Because the island country lacks natural resources, raw materials and energy can only be imported, so the cars they produce are fuel-efficient and durable. It has become one of the most important design indicators, and the engine and gearbox technology are relatively backward compared with those in Europe and the United States, because the technologies used are very mature, although the power and operability are not so perfect, but the price is cheap , low failure rate, very suitable for home use.

European and American cars pursue perfect handling and strong power, and like to boldly adopt new technologies, which are the most advanced in technology, but relatively speaking, the more functions, the more advanced products will have more failure points. For users, more additional expenditures may be required, which is not very friendly to ordinary civilians.

There are also certain differences between European cars and American cars. Because American oil is cheap, people like some cars with large displacement and relatively high fuel consumption. European cars, especially German cars, do better in terms of horsepower and fuel consumption. It can be said to be relatively balanced.

The earliest domestically produced cars imitated Japanese cars. Because the technology was relatively conservative, the threshold was lower than that of European and American cars, and the manufacturing cost was also very low, so the early Chinese cars were all imitating Japanese related models.

In addition, in terms of technology transfer, European car companies are relatively generous. As early as the 80s, Volkswagen had already started to set up a joint venture factory in Shanghai, China. When it produced Audi models, it began to provide some related technologies to China. It is very important for China's automobile industry. It can be said that it has greatly improved China's automobile industry and made it substantially smaller than the advanced level of the world's automobile industry.

However, Japanese manufacturers are much more stingy. It was not until the middle and late 90s that Japanese companies set up joint venture factories in China, but they kept very strict confidentiality about related technologies. Apart from making money in China, they had almost no impact on China's auto industry. How much to drive.

After 2000, Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation began to sell its engine products to Chinese auto companies. At that time, domestic auto companies began to imitate Mitsubishi engines, but in general, the technology of domestic engines has always been slow to develop.

Duan Yun’s two mini cars, Shen Xing and Kang Yun, are actually following the path of Japanese cars, with low cost, low fuel consumption, and maintenance, in order to enable more Chinese people to realize their car dreams. Research and development has always been Duan Yun's ultimate goal.

Duan Yun even dreams that one day he will be able to sell his domestically produced cars to foreign countries including developed countries in Europe and America, but judging from the current situation, at least it will take a long time to do so.

In fact, the development of the automobile industry is closely related to the domestic consumption level. The development and production of any new model requires a lot of cost. It is the largest private enterprise in China like Tianyin Group, and it is impossible to accept such losses for many years.

Therefore, in order to make money, in order to enable the healthy development of this industry, an enterprise must develop and produce related models according to the domestic consumption level. From the domestic situation, those who can afford family cars account for less than 1% No, as for those who can afford mid-to-high-end cars, there are very few, and the speed of replacement in the auto industry is very fast. The mid-to-high-end cars produced will be completely sold by the market in two or three years. Abandoned and eliminated, and the losses are at least in the hundreds of millions.

Therefore, Duan Yun’s current development of the automobile industry is more pragmatic, cheap, easy to maintain, and fuel-efficient. Judging from the current situation, the sales of Shen Xing and Kangyun’s cars are very good, although this car is technically inferior to other cars. Japan, Europe and the United States are a little behind, and I feel that it is very suitable for the current national conditions in China.

As for the heavy-duty trucks being produced now, they are entirely to meet the growing domestic demand.

Heavy-duty trucks use diesel engines, so the design scheme and concept are completely different from those of cars. Although the design scheme is based on the Volvo F10 truck, many localized improvements have been made, and some of them have been discarded. Very important electronic accessories, on the one hand, this reduces the threshold and cost of production technology, on the other hand, it also facilitates later maintenance. The fewer electronic components, the more failure points, which is very suitable for the national conditions of the Chinese auto market.

"Before the end of this year, our new type of heavy-duty trucks will be ready to roll off the production line. According to the previously set goal, by the end of next year, our production base will be able to achieve the goal of producing 8000 heavy-duty trucks per year." Chen Qiao made his debut from the sidelines.

"I just have one request." Duan Yun turned his head to look at Chen Qiao, and then said, "The quality control of vehicles must be caught by me. Although we have achieved relatively good success in the car field before, the competition in the heavy truck industry Equally fierce, word of mouth is the lifeblood of our enterprise, if anyone smashes our signboard because of this product, I will smash his job without hesitation!"

When Duan Yun said these words, his tone was more serious, because he always understood one truth, that is, the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest. The bigger the enterprise, the more it should have a sense of crisis. If it is in the heavy truck industry, it cannot be the first one. Guns, then it will become even more difficult to gain a foothold in this industry in the future.

"Mr. Duan, don't worry. Our Shenyang Automobile Base has always attached great importance to product quality and quality control. We have the best equipment and the best technicians in China. I believe you will not be disappointed." Chen Qiao Said quickly on the side.

"You just need to understand the pros and cons." Duan Yun nodded, and continued: "The development of our Shenyang base has been very smooth these years, but it does not mean that it will be smooth sailing in the future. Now the domestic competitive environment is getting better and better every year. The year is fierce, and there is no room for respite, no one can always stand on the top, and our future competitors are not only in the domestic market, but also in the vast foreign market."
