Zhang Qihang thought for a while, and said: "This matter is troublesome and troublesome, but it is simple, but it is actually simple. The current BorgWarner just wants to use its dual-clutch technology to lure the FAW, II These are the leading auto companies in our country, but in the final analysis, according to BorgWarner’s initial plan, how many shares can they get from FAW and Second Automobile? Even if Huateng Group does not participate, 3% to 4% is enough. It's as good as heaven."

"That's the truth."

Old Master Feng nodded, agreeing with Zhang Qihang's words.

"But having said that, if BorgWarner can give this benefit, we can give it too, and we can even give more," Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "You say, if we hold a press conference, we will The press conference told everyone that we are willing to transfer the technology of the parallel shaft gearbox to the outside world, what kind of reaction do you think everyone will have?"

"Transfer our gearbox technology to the outside world?" Mr. Feng narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, transferring technology to the outside world is also a good way, anyway, we have been selling our gearboxes to the outside world, but For a long time, everyone seems to be worried about purchasing our gearboxes, and they are always worried that we will get stuck in their necks. If we are willing to transfer technology, it would be great... What do you think about this technology transfer?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang gave a thumbs up: The old man is the old man, he is really old and mature.

"First transfer the technology of 4AT, and then transfer the technology of 4AT parallel shaft automatic transmission," Zhang Qihang said: "In the future, we will also charge licensing fees according to the production quantity."

Mr. Feng smiled and shook his head: "It's really worthwhile to charge a technology transfer fee first, and then charge a licensing fee according to the production quantity."

"Isn't this a routine operation in our automobile industry?" Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "Even this is already a very generous condition. If you look at Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Factory, what they play is a masterpiece: from their When purchasing an engine, it must be matched with a certain proportion of 4AT automatic transmission according to the purchase quantity. If you don’t buy a transmission, you will not be allowed to buy an engine.”

Speaking of Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Factory, Mr. Feng also expressed emotion: "Hey, what Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Factory did is really..."

In China in this era, the sales of manual transmission models can account for almost 70% of the total sales. Even the Audi A6, an executive-level medium and large sedan, has a manual transmission version. It is conceivable that manual transmission models are on the market. The degree of popularity, it is no exaggeration to say that manual transmission is the absolute mainstream of sales.

In this way, Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Factory's practice of "purchasing an engine must be matched with a certain proportion of 4AT gearbox" is very disgusting:

If you don’t buy an engine, you won’t even be able to produce a whole car, and you can’t make a lot of money, that’s going to kill you;
Agree to the conditions of Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Factory and purchase a certain proportion of 4AT gearboxes. After the gearboxes are bought back, the entire vehicle is produced, but most of them are backlogged there, and no one buys them at all. Most customers would rather Wait, I would rather pay more and choose manual transmission...

Compared with the shamelessness of Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Factory, Huateng Industrial Group's practice of obtaining complete technology and producing as much as it wants as long as it pays technology transfer fees and licensing fees is already a conscience in the industry. .

Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile, and continued: "And we're not just transferring technology to them. A gearbox, in addition to the parts they can produce themselves, if they can't produce TCU, electronic control system and hydraulic variable speed for the time being We can also sign a supply contract with them for core accessories including torque converters, and we can even sign a follow-up agreement with them, and we will transfer 5AT and 6AT gearbox technologies to them in succession in the future. This is no better than looking at other people's faces How many?"

"That's right," Mr. Feng nodded, but immediately frowned, "But can they agree?"

Regarding Mr. Feng's worries, Zhang Qihang looked indifferent: "It doesn't matter to us whether we agree or not. Anyway, our attitude has already been expressed."

Has the attitude been shown?

Mr. Feng was taken aback for a moment, then understood Zhang Qihang's meaning, and suddenly realized: Why do these companies jointly develop dual-clutch automatic transmissions with BorgWarner?Isn't it because they not only can't produce by themselves, but they also have to be stuck. They can't buy more, can't buy more, don't want to buy, or even get goods from other people?

Well now, our Huateng Group is willing to transfer our automatic transmission technology to you, and there are no other conditions except money requirements, do you agree or not?

If faced with such a condition, you still refuse to agree, and instead join forces with BorgWarner, an outsider, to put pressure on us, then we have something to say...

What Mr. Feng was worried about before was actually a matter of "righteousness", but now, as long as the Huateng Group made this statement first, all problems will no longer be problems.

Thinking of this, Mr. Feng smiled and nodded.

........................

Of course, it is not enough for Zhang Qihang and Mr. Feng to reach a consensus. After all, the parallel shaft gearbox technology is the core technology of Huateng Group. If it is transferred to the outside world, it must be approved collectively at the group leadership meeting and reported to the provincial government for approval. OK.

At the meeting, after Zhang Qihang informed everyone about the situation and what he was going to do next,
Afterwards, after some discussion, reporting to the province, and obtaining the permission of the leaders, Liu Jiang was the first to express his opinion: "I think it's okay. In the case that BorgWarner is going to enter our country, I think it's okay to Our gearbox technology is transferred to a third party, of course, the price must be reasonable, we can not suffer."

"I also agree with what Lao Liu said." Following Liu Jiang, Jiang He also expressed his position: "Since BorgWarner has come aggressively, we want to resolve this trouble, and we can't do it without something real. The 4AT parallel shaft is taken out, I think it is the most suitable,"

After finishing speaking, Jiang He paused for a while, and then continued: "Not only our parallel shaft transmission technology, I think our semi-automatic transmission technology can also be taken into consideration."

It’s also interesting to say, because Huateng Group promoted the version of automatic transmission relatively early. In the past few years, the sales of Huateng Group’s models equipped with semi-automatic transmissions have grown rapidly. Now, it is equipped with manual, semi-automatic and automatic transmissions. The sales ratio of its models has reached a ratio of 4:4:2. If 10000 vehicles are sold, 4000 of them will be equipped with semi-automatic transmissions.

At the beginning, models equipped with semi-automatic transmissions were ridiculed by some skilled old drivers as "only the third-class disabled drive semi-automatic". However, as more and more female drivers have obtained driver's licenses over the years, and the number of domestic motor vehicles As more and more roads become more and more congested, models with semi-automatic transmissions that do not need to consider start-up and oil-disengagement cooperation are becoming more and more popular with consumers, and sales have been rising all the way. In the first half of this year, vehicles equipped with The proportion of sales of semi-automatic transmission models has reached 50%.

Faced with this situation, other OEMs are naturally greedy: Although the same product of Huateng Group, the model equipped with a semi-automatic transmission is only 2000 yuan more expensive than the model equipped with a manual transmission, but everyone is looking at the semi-automatic of Huateng Group. After the gearbox was disassembled and analyzed, it was found that the overall cost of this set of actuators was less than 300 yuan, which was equal to each semi-automatic version of the model, and Huateng Group could earn at least 1700 yuan more.

Faced with such a situation, who would not be jealous?Who doesn't want to make more money.

In addition, there is no technical difficulty if this thing is true. It is nothing more than a test of the adjustment ability of the gearbox and the ability to coordinate calibration with the engine, but this is not a problem.

It was only when everyone wanted to follow suit and develop semi-automatic transmissions that they discovered that Huateng Group was really bad: they applied for patents for all technologies related to semi-automatic transmissions, and not just one or two patents, but directly formed A powerful patent matrix has been established, and anyone and any company rushes to bypass this patent matrix of Huateng Group to engage in semi-automatic transmissions.

Some brothers are curious, what kind of patents do you care about, can't it be just a direct imitation?
It sounds like this is the case, but in fact this approach is completely unworkable, because since China joined the WTO, it has paid more and more attention to patents, and patent infringement is absolutely impossible. For example, the traditional 4AT planetary gear automatic transmission, Technically speaking, there is really no difficulty. If there is no patent stuck here, it will have been imitated and updated to the point where I don’t know how many versions it is, but it won’t work.

In desperation, everyone can only stare at Huateng Group's patents, and at the same time find a way to obtain Huateng Group's patent authorization.

During this period of time, the major manufacturers have been arguing with the Huateng Group for the semi-automatic transmission. Now, after hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Jianghe decided to discuss the matter of the semi-automatic transmission.

Zhang Qihang and Mr. Feng Guoqing really hadn't considered the issue of semi-automatic transmissions. Now that they heard Jiang He's reminder, they looked at each other, and felt that Jiang He's proposal made sense: it seems that the technology of semi-automatic transmissions can indeed be brought out together. Discuss.

"Lao Jiang's proposal is very good. The authorization of the semi-automatic transmission can indeed be discussed together," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "What about other comrades, do you have any thoughts and opinions? Even if you raise them, it's still the same sentence." , everyone can speak freely.”
