Chapter 1186

"Jingle Bell……"

Seeing Zhang Qihang's number displayed on the phone, Geng Shaojie, the head of the big brother, raised his eyebrows slightly, then pressed the connect button, and said heartily: "Mr. Zhang, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Geng..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Qihang greeted Geng Shaojie politely after a few words, "President Geng, I heard that Mr. Brownlee from BorgWarner visited you before?"

Hearing Zhang Qihang ask about Bob Brownlee, Geng Shaojie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: So this little fellow Zhang Qihang called him because of BorgWarner.

Just now, when he saw Zhang Qihang's phone number, Geng Shaojie was still wondering why Zhang Qihang called him, but now he heard Zhang Qihang mentioning Bob Brownlee, he suddenly realized .

Instead of going around in circles with Zhang Qihang, Geng Shaojie smiled and said, "Brother, are you doing it for BorgWarner's dual-clutch gearbox?"

"That's right, that's the matter," Zhang Qihang also responded, and said, "Mr. Geng, I would like to ask, what conditions did BorgWarner propose?"

"This one……"

Geng Shaojie hesitated for a moment, and then said tactfully: "Brother, it's not that I won't tell you, but that I promised Mr. Brownlie not to disclose the content of our meeting to a third party, so..."

"Understood," Zhang Qihang said with a smile, and was not at all surprised by Geng Shaojie's answer: "However, Deputy Director Wu of the Planning and Development Commission revealed some information to us... President Geng, BorgWarner's intentions this time are not good! "

Ok?
Deputy Director Wu of the Planning and Development Commission took the initiative to disclose some information to Zhang Qihang?
What Zhang Qihang said made Geng Shaojie frown immediately.

As the head of the big brother in the automobile industry, Geng Shaojie can't be hidden from any disturbance in the automobile industry, and BorgWarner's plan to promote dual-clutch gearboxes in China is not only promoted by the headquarters of the German Volkswagen Group, but even this Among them, there is the shadow of the big brother, but now, Zhang Qihang actually said that Wu Ming took the initiative to disclose something to him, which made Geng Shaojie feel a bad feeling in his heart...

Geng Shaojie thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Since Deputy Director Wu said so, I will hide it too. Mr. Brownlee did communicate with me about some bloggers. Warner's idea, they are going to promote the advanced dual-clutch gearbox technology to our country..."

Speaking of this, his tone changed: "Mr. Zhang, let me tell you, this dual-clutch gearbox is a good thing, with fast shifting speed and high transmission efficiency. Compared with the current traditional AT and CVT automatic gearboxes , I don’t know how advanced it is, I think we should vigorously develop dual-clutch gearboxes in the future..."

Geng Shaojie kept talking good things about the dual-clutch gearbox, which made Zhang Qihang verify some of his previous thoughts: Sure enough... I said how did BorgWarner have such confidence before, trying to monopolize the domestic market? Perhaps the reason for the automatic transmission is here...

Zhang Qihang, who had guessed in his heart, smiled, and said: "The advantages of the dual-clutch gearbox are indeed obvious, but there are also many shortcomings. As a gearbox for racing, it is indeed excellent, but if it is used as a gearbox Civilian automatic transmission, this kind of transmission needs to be improved and improved a lot, especially in our country with extremely complicated traffic conditions..."

Subconsciously, Geng Shaojie wanted to say, "Have you ever used a dual-clutch gearbox? Are you talking nonsense here?", but the next moment, before he could say anything, he shut his mouth—he suddenly thought of Hua Teng In order to track and understand the technical level of other automobile manufacturers, the industrial group purchases a large number of automobiles from abroad and sends them to the engineering and testing teams for testing and dismantling. If Huateng Industrial Group has a model equipped with a dual-clutch gearbox , which is not surprising at all.

Zhang Qihang didn't know how entangled Geng Shaojie was at the moment, so he continued on his own: "Also, Mr. Geng, as far as I know, BorgWarner's appetite is quite big."

After hesitating for a while, Geng Shaojie sighed and said, "This... BorgWarner's conditions are indeed a bit too much, but the situation is stronger than others. Who will let them master the core technology of dual-clutch transmission?"

Hearing Geng Shaojie's tone, Zhang Qihang knew Big Brother's attitude and position in this matter, but this was not too unexpected, after all, Big Brother and Wolfsburg Group were too closely integrated.

Smiling, Zhang Qihang said: "It is true that BorgWarner has mastered the core technology of dual-clutch gearboxes, but it does not mean that our Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing Company has no room for bargaining in front of BorgWarner. For example, BorgWarner Warner once said to Deputy Director Wu that we hope that Huateng Group will abandon the technology of parallel shaft gearboxes and engage in dual-clutch with BorgWarner..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang paused slightly, deliberately emphasized his tone, and said with a smile: "Let's give up the parallel axis technology that we have mastered all the technology and patents, and instead cooperate with them to engage in dual clutches?

What are they BorgWarner thinking?

Mr. Geng, I am calling you because I want to tell you that our Huateng Group will not give up the parallel shaft gearbox, but has already started the research and development plan of the 6-speed parallel shaft gearbox..."

Is Huateng Group ready to engage in 6-speed automatic transmission?
The news leaked by Zhang Qihang made Geng Shaojie's heart sink.

He does know that the dual-clutch gearbox developed by Volkswagen and BorgWarner is a 6-speed.

Regardless of Geng Shaojie's sudden heavy breathing on the other end of the phone, and then deliberately soothing breathing, Zhang Qihang continued: "Although the transmission efficiency of the dual-clutch gearbox is higher, the consumption situation and consumption structure of the Chinese market are here. , Do ordinary people really care about the higher transmission efficiency and shifting speed? No, I don’t think so, I think ordinary people pay more attention to solidity, reliability and durability... So, Mr. Geng, is our group interested in buying it? A patent for our parallel shaft gearbox?"

Zhang Qihang's final turning point was too sloppy, almost reaching Geng Shaojie's waist, but Geng Shaojie didn't care about this question at all, his eyes widened, and there was only one thought in his mind: What did Zhang Qihang just say? !Their Huateng Group plans to sell the technology of parallel shaft gearboxes to the outside world?
How can this be? !
Prior to this, other domestic automobile manufacturers did not approach Huateng Group to seek cooperation in automatic transmissions, but they were all declined by Huateng Group. Suddenly, Zhang Qihang expressed that they could transfer them to the outside world. What about the core technology?
But no matter how impossible it was, since the words came from Zhang Qihang's mouth, the impossible became possible.Geng Shaojie took a deep breath and quickly thought about the reason.

In fact, it doesn't take a lot of thinking. Almost in the next second, Geng Shaojie thought of the reason: BorgWarner!
In addition to the pressure brought by BorgWarner, there is no second reason to explain this situation!
But even knowing that Zhang Qihang let go because of pressure from BorgWarner, he was still moved.

The reason why I plan to cooperate with BorgWarner is because the current Big Brother is actually very embarrassing: As a Big Brother, it should not be the most technically powerful, but Big Brother has no outstanding achievements in terms of independent brands. The group's passenger car business segment is fully supported by the joint venture business, and even automatic transmissions cannot be produced...

If there is no Huateng Group and Fengya Automobile, it will be fine. Big brother can find objective reasons, such as "our country's industrial foundation is weak", but now, with Huateng Industrial Group and Fengya Automobile , all these reasons can’t be used anymore, because the leaders above can’t be persuaded at all—then the leader will say, “What you said seems to make sense, but please tell me, how did Huateng Group do it?” , can immediately make Big Brother feel ashamed...

It can be said that the big brother is pushing this matter, but in fact, he is somewhat helpless—Of course Geng Shaojie knows that it is not good to do so, but the pressure from Huateng Group is really too great.

Just as Zhang Qihang thought before, almost instantly, Geng Shaojie thought of another thing: BorgWarner's dual-clutch gearbox technology is indeed good, but many of the technologies and patents they have are related to It is jointly owned by Volkswagen. Geng Shaojie is actually a little bit guilty about when he will be able to mass-produce his "own" dual-clutch transmission. But now, Zhang Qihang said that he can transfer the technology of parallel-axis automatic transmission to himself. The general idea suddenly became vivid: the dual-clutch gearbox is indeed good, but who knows when this thing will be successful?

Three years, five years, or even ten or eight years are not impossible.

So in the next so long, could it be that Big Brother can only use manual transmissions, and automatic transmissions can only be purchased?
But if we can buy the parallel-shaft automatic transmission technology from Huateng Group, the situation will be completely different. Maybe Huateng Group’s parallel-shaft transmission is not as powerful as BorgWarner’s dual-clutch transmission, but it Exactly as a backup for the DCT project isn't it?
Thinking of this, Geng Shaojie took a deep breath and said to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, are you kidding me? Are you really willing to transfer the technology of the parallel shaft gearbox to us?"

Zhang Qihang immediately asked back: "Mr. Geng, at this time, do you think I will joke with you like this? Or with the energy of your unit, I can fool you at will without suffering the consequences?"

This is the truth!
Geng Shaojie immediately believed Zhang Qihang's words.
