Chapter 1273 Selection of technical route
In order to welcome Lu Yunfeng's arrival, Zhang Youfang even asked his secretary to open the door of the office. As soon as Lu Yunfeng came in, while asking his secretary to make tea for Lu Yunfeng, Zhang Youfang asked impatiently: "Old Lu, What's going on? Why did Oil Otter suddenly decide to sell hybrid technology and chassis? Is there any problem... in this?"

Lu Yunfeng's face was also flushed, and he said excitedly to Zhang Youfang: "Director Zhang, that's what happened. I just received a call from Yamada Takeshi, and he said to me on the phone..."

As Lu Yunfeng spoke, Zhang Youfang nodded. After Lu Yunfeng finished speaking, Zhang Youfang had a basic understanding of the situation and knew it in his heart: "So, the people at the Stolen Oil Otter headquarters are very sincere... "

Lu Yunfeng said cautiously: "Whether there is any problem in this, I can't tell, but...it doesn't seem to be a big problem for the time being."

"It seems like this," Zhang Youfang responded, and suddenly asked Lu Yunfeng: "Old Lu, tell me, why is Oil Otter suddenly willing to transfer technology and products to us?"

Zhang Youfang's meaning is very clear: the oil thieves who used to be strict with us at Guangdong Automobile, wishing they could even let us know about their stamping technology, but now they suddenly become so generous, then the problem arises. what is going on?

Zhang Youfang was the first to say that there was nothing fishy and nothing happened. Zhang Youfang was the first to not believe it.

"..."

Lu Yunfeng did not speak, but began to ponder.

Although he was so excited just now that he rushed to report to Zhang Youfang without having time to think about it, but now that Zhang Youfang reminded him, he immediately realized the problem: there was nothing fishy about it. This is indeed very questionable. Who among you has no idea what kind of virtue the oil-stealing otter had in the past?

More than ten seconds later, Lu Yunfeng said slowly and thoughtfully: "When you said that, I thought of a few possibilities."

"Well, you say, let's discuss it together."

Lu Yunfeng said: "The first one, and I think it is also the most important one, is that with the development of our domestic national automobile companies, the oil thief feels the pressure and begins to feel that his past routine is not working anymore. Actively seek innovation and change.”

Zhang Youfang thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, in the past few years, more and more domestic companies have been able to produce their own engines and gearboxes. Even those companies that cannot produce their own engines and gearboxes can now import them from China." You can buy it from Teng Group, so you don’t have to look at the faces of Mitsubishi and JATCO.”

Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi has always relied on its own good products and stable performance, but has always had some very bad habits, that is, once it sees who is developing faster, it will immediately limit the supply of engines to you, leaving you to face the big market. Placed the order but could not deliver it.As for the specific reasons why this happened, it’s hard to go into detail, otherwise it would be like the chapters a few days ago…

The second bad habit of Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi is forced distribution of goods: for every number of engines purchased, it must be forced to match how many JATCO 4AT automatic transmissions.

To be honest, the power combination of 4G63/4639 + JATCO 4AT is actually good, with stable and reliable performance. Domestic companies using this power combination are quite satisfied with this power combination, but the problem is that it is the main force of major domestic car companies at this stage. Those responsible for sales are all manual transmissions, and automatic transmissions account for a very small proportion of sales. But in this case, Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi will force you to distribute goods...

However, in recent years, as the reputation of Huateng Group's engines and gearboxes has gradually increased, Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi is no longer as strong as before, and has actually begun to become more humane.Oil thieves should also realize that the domestic environment has changed. China's automobile industry is no longer in the same poverty-stricken situation as in previous years, but has gained some wealth, and then adjusted its China market strategy.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Youfang continued: "Following this idea, it is understandable that Oil Stolen Otter is willing to transfer technology and discontinued products to us:

The reason they are willing to transfer the extended-range hybrid technology to us is because Huateng Group has the extended-range hybrid technology. They can still make some money by transferring their unused technology to us. If they are unwilling to transfer it now, in the future, We can develop it ourselves, or we can purchase it from Huateng Group. If it comes to that, not only will they not make any money by stealing the oil otter, but they may also hurt the relationship between the two families;
As for the willingness to transfer obsolete products and chassis technology to us, that is easier to understand. Anyway, it is outdated technology that has been discontinued. In addition, there are already domestic companies that do not even say hello... Well, in this case, it is better to sell Make us some money,"

When Zhang Youfang said this, he said with confidence: "In general, it's not that the oil thieves are willing, but the development of the situation makes them have to choose to do this."

Lu Yunfeng nodded repeatedly and said: "Director Zhang, you are really insightful. This is indeed the truth. What you said gave me some inspiration. I guess it has something to do with our contact with the Fiat Group."

"It is possible, and it may be very high!" Zhang Youfang said: "Maybe this news is the last straw that finally makes the oil otter make this decision."

"Ha ha……"

Lu Yunfeng felt the same way, and he also believed that it was this three-pronged approach that allowed Piaoyoulu to assess the situation and adjust his strategy in a timely manner. He then asked Zhang Youfang for instructions: "Look at that, Director Zhang..."

Knowing why Lu Yunfeng asked, Zhang Youfang smiled and said, "Buy it! Since they are willing to transfer it, why don't we buy it?"

Compared with those big brothers in the north who are eager to let foreign brands take them to make money, Guangdong Automobile is actually quite thoughtful. After seeing the success of Huateng Group, Geely, Chery and even Yade Automobile, Yuezhou Automobile I was even more stimulated and prepared to develop my own brand.

How does an established car company develop its own brand?Generally speaking, there are three routes to choose from:

The first is the Chang'an model, which is to cross the river by feeling the stones from scratch;

The second is to cooperate with foreign car companies to launch new cars by transforming the other party's old platform, completing the start-up and accumulating experience in independent research and development. This relatively typical approach is Venucia;
As for the third method, it is to acquire overseas groups or platforms and carry out localization transformation on the basis of others' original ones.

Obviously, compared to the second model, the third model has a greater say. The most typical representatives are SAIC's acquisition of British Rover and Nanjing Automobile's acquisition of British MG.
