PS: Brothers, sorry, this chapter is chapter 1214.

------------

After a while, Cai Xiangdong said slowly: "Really plan to do this?"

"Well, I've been thinking about this for a long time. It's not just about money." Zhang Qihang nodded vigorously and said, "If we don't engage in technology, our competitors will. If we fall behind... …If we hadn’t introduced Steyr technology from Austria, the current Sinotruk Group would not know what it would be like.”

Cai Xiangdong understood that Zhang Qihang was explaining the importance of technology to himself, so he nodded and said, "That's true, but if you really plan to develop AMT gearboxes and hybrid systems, we will be doing nothing this year."

Cai Xiangdong’s words are not aimless. Taking the first half of this year as an example, the headquarters of Sinotruk Group sold 65231 heavy trucks, achieving sales revenue of 241.15 billion yuan and a net profit of 13.65 billion yuan. The total annual sales volume is expected to be about 13.2 or 13.4 , the annual sales revenue is around 500 billion yuan.

If the income of other industries such as medium-sized trucks, buses, passenger cars, hotels, real estate and other industries is included, it is estimated that the annual income of the entire Sinotruk Group will be around 650 billion yuan, and the total profit will be about 35 billion yuan.

In addition, because of the appearance of Zhang Qihang, Shaanxi Automobile did not become independent from Sinotruk Group as it did in history. It is still a subsidiary of Sinotruk Group, so the sales of Shaanxi Automobile should also be counted on the side of Sinotruk Group.

In the first half of this year, Shaanxi Auto achieved sales of 42000 vehicles, with sales revenue exceeding 127 billion yuan and a profit of 7.24 million yuan. It is expected that the annual sales revenue will exceed 160 billion yuan and the profit will exceed 14.5 billion yuan. The annual sales revenue is 810 billion, and the net profit is about 50 billion.

This year, the total net profit is only 50 billion yuan. Even if the R&D cost of the hybrid system is taken as the middle figure, it is 40 billion yuan. The total research and development expenses of the company will definitely exceed 50 billion. Cai Xiangdong said that this year is considered a waste of time, which is really not an exaggeration at all.

Here is an extra word, Sinotruk Group's annual sales of 22 vehicles, sales revenue of 810 billion yuan, and net profit of 50 billion yuan are expected to allow Sinotruk Group to surpass the big brother and the second brother, whether it is sales, Both sales and net profit rank first among the three major heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers in China, which makes many people who were not optimistic about the Sinotruk Group before stunned.

Speaking of which, in the past few years, the situation of being unable to make ends meet, not being able to eat, and being one step away from bankruptcy, to this year's estimated net profit of 50 billion yuan, the development of Sinotruk Group has exceeded everyone's imagination, so that the above-mentioned Some people began to regret it, and asked whether the Sinotruk Group could be taken over from Lu Province again.

Of course, things can’t be so rough. After all, the higher-ups didn’t handle the matter of Sinotruk Group in a very honest way. The steam was withdrawn, but I still had to face it, so I found an "expert" to test it in the media.

But just now when an "expert" said this, Lu Province was not happy: what do you mean?Want to take back Sinotruk Group again?Why do you think it is so beautiful?

Back then, when the Sinotruk Group could not afford to eat and you thought that you could not save it anyway, you gave us the Sinotruk Group as a piece of junk. Now you think that the Sinotruk Group has developed well, and you want to take it back?
The provincial media pointed at this "expert" and scolded him!It can be regarded as expressing his attitude through this matter.

After knowing the attitude of Lu Province, some people calmed down...

I guess it's temporary...

"It's not for nothing," Zhang Qihang waved his hand: "After all, this is not a one-time investment of money, and there will still be results in the middle..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang paused slightly, and said, "I also have other ideas about our hybrid system."

"Oh? What do you think?"

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Cai Xiangdong and Lao Tan looked at Zhang Qihang together.

"That's it," Zhang Qihang said: "I think that if this hybrid system is developed and only used by ourselves, I think it would be great to have a sales volume of about [-] sets a year in the past few years. From the perspective of cost, it is not cost-effective, and the scale is small, so it is difficult to reduce the overall manufacturing cost."

Cai Xiangdong and Lao Tan thought about it, nodded together, and agreed with Zhang Qihang's words: "That's the truth."

Old Tan's eyes lit up even more, and he quickly asked, "You mean, after this hybrid system for commercial vehicles is developed, we will sell it to the outside world?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively, looked at Lao Tan and said, "Old Tan, with the country's stricter requirements on environmental protection and vehicle exhaust emissions, buses in many cities in China are now being updated. Say, if our group launches two sets of powertrains, the low-end one is CNG diesel engine plus manual transmission, and the high-end model is CNG hybrid engine and hybrid system, do you think there will be a market for it?”

Following Zhang Qihang's words, Lao Tan's glasses became brighter and brighter. Finally, when Zhang Qihang finished speaking, Lao Tan slapped his thigh excitedly: "Yes! There is a lot of market! Our CNG engine is much more environmentally friendly than diesel engine , if it is a CNG engine plus a hybrid..."

Speaking of this, Lao Tan slapped his thigh hard: "Slot! Who can play with us?"

Cai Xiangdong also nodded happily: "This method is good."

Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "Not to mention anything else, other companies don't want to get involved in the market in our province."

Old Tan raised his eyebrows: "I don't think they dare?"

After finishing speaking, Old Tan laughed out loud, his face full of confidence.

Looking at the confident old Tan, Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "Old Tan, do you think you can do it?"

"Absolutely!" Old Tan nodded heavily: "I don't know what the domestic bus and short-distance road passenger transport in our country is like?"

Speaking of which, even though Lu Province is a coastal province with a relatively developed economy in China, and Shungeng City is the capital city of Lu Province, there are still many old-fashioned buses running, and the windows of the buses rattle when they run. The most terrible thing is that these buses The engine of the car is next to the driver, and there is no air-conditioning in the car, which is fine in other seasons. In summer, it is really fatal!

Not only in Shungeng City, but also in Qindao, the sub-capital city of Lu Province, there are still a large number of these old buses waiting to be replaced.

The situation of urban public transportation in Lu Province, which ranks third in the country, is the same. One can imagine what the situation of urban public transportation in other provinces is like. Therefore, since last year, some provinces have gradually upgraded their own public transportation vehicles. Old-fashioned buses with high platforms, no air-conditioning, and diesel engines are gradually replaced by new buses with low platforms, air-conditioning, and stricter exhaust emissions. The ride experience and comfort are much better than the previous buses.

But there is a terrible problem with the bus. To put it bluntly, it is too restrictive. To put it bluntly, it is simply too geographically protective.

Many people may not know that many provinces and even the following cities have their own bus manufacturing enterprises. For example, Langya City had its own bus manufacturing plant and the "Feiyan" bus brand before. These bus manufacturers Although the company's technical strength is not strong, it can only purchase chassis, engines, and gearboxes from some large manufacturers-Weichai and Shaanxi Gear under the Sinotruk Group have this business, and in the past few years, this business has been in Weichai The proportion of Shantou and Shaanxi gear is getting higher and higher. For example, Weichai’s export engine business has accounted for 76%. More than three-quarters of diesel engines are sold all over the country, and the remaining quarter is Sinotruk and Sinotruk. The purchase of Sinotruk·Shaanqi—but the bodywork can still be done.

These local bus manufacturers or refitting factories are basically local state-owned enterprises, which not only drive local production, but also contribute tax revenue to the local area. Most importantly, it is cheaper to do the bodywork yourself than to buy the whole car directly, so as long as However, wherever there are bus manufacturers or refitting companies in their own jurisdiction, and they have the ability to manufacture and refit buses, basically they will not allow bus manufacturers from other places to come in to get a piece of the pie, and even if there are occasionally, they are just pretending.

But the top of the bus can be made by yourself, but the engine and gearbox are definitely not something that the local government can play with, they can only be purchased, and now in Huaxia, who is the best quality and best selling diesel engine manufacturer? enterprise?
Weichai said the second, no one dared to say the first!

Relying on the relationship with major domestic bus manufacturers, bus manufacturers and modification companies in various places, if Weichai takes advantage of this opportunity to CNG engine, and wait a few years for the hybrid system to be successfully developed before launching the hybrid system, Hey... With the advantage of being one step ahead, it is not a problem to occupy half of the domestic bus hybrid market.

With the expansion of production scale, why not reduce the cost of the entire hybrid system?

Seeing that Old Tan was full of confidence, Zhang Qihang looked at Cai Xiangdong, and said with a smile: "Cai Dong, you have also seen that Old Tan is full of confidence, look..."

It was only then that Lao Tan came to his senses: That's right, just now Director Cai was a little hesitant about the huge R&D expenses.

He immediately looked at Cai Xiangdong pleadingly: "Cai Dong, look..."

Looking at Zhang Qihang's determined look, and looking at Lao Tan's pleading eyes, Cai Xiangdong smiled wryly, and shook his head helplessly, "I let you talk, what else can I do?"

After finishing speaking, he sighed a long time, and gritted his teeth: "Isn't this year's net profit gone, do it! But Mr. Zhang, you have to carry this matter with me."

To be honest, Cai Xiangdong really wouldn't be able to make up his mind if he didn't know how much his leaders valued Zhang Qihang and his future career plan would change.

Zhang Qihang naturally would not refute, nodded and said: "Okay, let's carry it together."
