Chapter 1278 Quiet improvement in status

Faced with this situation, the central banks of major developed economies are really anxious. On August 8, the three major central banks of Europe, the United States and Japan once again injected more than 14 billion US dollars into the market to rescue the market. At the same time, South Korea and other Asia-Pacific countries The central bank has also injected capital into the banking system again, hoping to stabilize the situation.but……

Useless!

On the third day after various countries announced that their central banks would inject capital into the market, the stock price of Fannie Mae in the United States plummeted again and was on the verge of bankruptcy. This directly led to the worsening of the U.S. subprime debt crisis. Affected by the U.S. stock market, the Asia-Pacific stock market also suffered heavy losses. The decline was the largest since September 2002, 9.

But at this moment, all countries actually understand in their hearts that maybe this is just the beginning...

Faced with this situation, China looked at the plummeting stock markets of various countries and gasped: I was really scared to death!
Especially in Shandong Province, although Zhang Qihang had long said that the crisis caused by the subprime mortgage market would become a serious economic crisis sweeping the world, before the economic crisis broke out, everyone was somewhat cautious. Lucky mentality: It shouldn’t be that serious, right?Maybe Zhang Qihang exaggerated?

But now, when the economic crisis really came, everyone realized that what Zhang Qihang said before was conservative. The current situation is much worse than the worst situation Zhang Qihang originally said. For this reason, Tang Changhao specially called Zhang Qihang to his office. …

"Set sail, you sit down." At this moment, Tang Changhao was as kind as he could be: "You said before that this economic crisis is a disaster for all countries, but it is a good one for us. Opportunity, can you expand on this point?”

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang suddenly understood.

When the economic crisis first broke out, I participated in several symposiums. At these symposiums, I said that the economic crisis caused by subprime mortgage loans would have a huge impact on the global economy, but for China, , this is also a rare opportunity for industry advancement. At that time, many senior experts present disagreed with what he said, and even sneered at it. But now, with the spread of this economic crisis, the situation is becoming more and more like what he said at the beginning. , those experts who had spoken nonsense before have all shut up - what else can they do if they don't shut up?Is it fun to be slapped in the face?

Before this, the authority of these experts was still very powerful, so affected by the remarks of these experts, although Zhang Qihang had accurately predicted the economic crisis before, many leaders still had doubts about Zhang Qihang's words. They had a dubious attitude, but when the economic crisis reached this point, the leaders began to change their attitude one after another.

"Okay," Zhang Qihang responded and said, "Leader, I don't know if you still remember, I told you before that 07 was just the beginning of the economic crisis, and 08 will be the time of the big outbreak."

"Of course I remember," Tang Changhao nodded, and then asked curiously: "The situation is already so serious now, and you still insist that it is just the beginning?"

If it’s just the beginning now, what will it be like when it breaks out next year?
"Yes, I still insist that this is just the beginning," Zhang Qihang responded: "The whole of Europe and the United States will be filled with disasters. Of course, even if our country does not have similar problems, the impact will definitely not be small - After encountering a serious economic crisis, our exports to European and American countries will inevitably be greatly affected, but I believe that the leaders above should have realized this problem and begun to make targeted adjustments."

Tang Changhao nodded silently. He did know that the country had begun to quietly adjust some industrial policies.

Zhang Qihang continued: "This economic crisis is also an excellent opportunity for our Shandong Province. Previously, for industrial upgrading, we wanted to purchase some technologies or equipment, but those European and American companies either refused to sell them or We will charge the price to death, but after this economic crisis, our opportunity will come. At that time, we can get the products and technologies we want at a much lower price than before, and even be able to buy them in those factories and enterprises. After bankruptcy and bankruptcy, we directly acquired them and used these European and American companies to help us achieve industrial upgrading smoothly.

In addition, being hit by this economic crisis, the traditional export industries in Europe and the United States will inevitably be greatly affected. We can also take advantage of this opportunity to seize their markets. "

Yup!

Being reminded by Zhang Qihang, Tang Changhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Qihang You is right, this is indeed a very rare opportunity for our Lu Province, well... you can write a report later. Give it to me and let’s discuss how to operate this matter.”

"Ok."

Zhang Qihang nodded, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing Zhang Qihang's hesitant expression, how could Tang Changhao still not know what this kid was thinking?He immediately laughed: "You boy, do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of the importance? Now that I have realized how important this opportunity is to our country, can I still hide it? Don't think about it for me. of."

"hey-hey……"

Zhang Qihang laughed sheepishly.

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

The global economic crisis caused by the subprime mortgage market has had a much greater impact on the European and American economies than Zhang Qihang had previously estimated. In October, the export volume of Huateng Group's motorcycle products increased by 10 %. By November, the export volume of cargo-type three-wheeled motorcycles soared by 10%. In the face of the sluggish domestic motorcycle market, Huateng Group's motorcycle production increased instead of falling.

Faced with this situation, Jiang He, who is in charge of the group's motorcycle and electric vehicle business, approached Zhang Qihang and told him some of his thoughts: "Mr. Zhang, tell me, can we take advantage of this economic crisis to acquire Brother Yi?" Are European motorcycle brands preparing us to enter the luxury motorcycle market in the future?”

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "What? Seeing that QJ acquired Benelli, are you feeling itchy?"

"More or less," Jiang He chuckled: "QJ can acquire Benelli, why can't we acquire a European motorcycle company? And you also said that this economic crisis will have a negative impact on the European economy. It’s a big impact. I think this is an excellent opportunity. Once they get through this economic crisis, I don’t know how long they will have to wait for similar opportunities.”

"It makes sense," Zhang Qihang nodded: "First of all, who are you targeting?"

"What do you think of Kajiwa?"

"Kajiwa?" Zhang Qihang thought for a while and said uncertainly: "This name seems a bit familiar..." "They have cooperated with our provincial heavy riding group before to build a Kajiwa 600 travel motorcycle."

Zhang Qihang suddenly realized: "When you said that, I was impressed. It's them."

Many motorcycle riders have heard of Qingqi Group, which was the leader in the domestic motorcycle industry before 2005, but many people may not have heard of Chongqi Motorcycle. It is said that this is a motorcycle company run by a prison. The first model is the Kajiwa 600 station wagon, which is equipped with an air-cooled 600CC large single-cylinder engine. Although it is an air-cooled large single-cylinder engine with a displacement of up to 600CC, the vibration control is particularly good, and the quality is particularly stable. The fuel consumption is also low, which is especially suitable for long-distance travel. Until around 2010, many motorcycle enthusiasts still tried their best to buy a Kajiwa 600. After carefully preparing it, they rode the 318. What Zhang Qihang did not expect, Jiang He He actually targeted Kajiwa.

"Kajiwa..."

Zhang Qihang thought for a while and said tactfully: "Lao Jiang, you should know that at this stage, our domestic motorcycle friends have limited knowledge of motorcycles, and they are still at the level of 'four-cylinder is king'. Kajiwa is good at It’s not a four-cylinder one.”

As the general manager of the motorcycle group, Jianghe wants to take Huateng Motorcycles to a higher level. This is true, but in China, no large single-cylinder motorcycles are selling well, not to mention the Kajiwa 600. The large single-cylinders in the "ancient times" include the Jialing 600 "Big Rooster", the BMW G650GS, and the Loncin 650 on the same platform as the BMW G650 GS...

Are these good cars?
There is no doubt that they are all good cars, but a good car is a good car, but in this era of "four-cylinder is king", it is useless no matter how good a single cylinder is, so a Huanglong 600 can overwhelm these large single-cylinders. Not sure if it's a joke or not, there is a legend that says the sales volume of CB400 is more than the sales volume of these large single cylinders.

"I know," Jiang He nodded: "What I want is actually the Kajiwa brand. As for the four-cylinder engine, I am ready to cooperate with our aerospace engine department."

After a pause, Jiang He said: "I communicated with our aero-engine department, and they said they would jointly develop with us a four-cylinder motorcycle engine with a mid-level international standard. This is no problem at all. "

In addition to the D-30KP-3 that cooperates with Xifa Factory, Huateng Group also has another piston aero-engine department, which uses piston kerosene on its own two-seat ultra-light helicopters and the later four-seat light helicopters. All aircraft engines come from this department.

也因为华腾集团直升机部门的强势，罗宾逊直升机公司的R22和R44再也没办法凭借着自己独特的市场定位在华夏赚取高额利润了，R22从之前的400多万RMB一架降到了落地还不到200万RMB。

Because the performance of the piston aviation kerosene engine produced by Huateng Group is really excellent and the safety is much better than the traditional gasoline-fueled piston aviation engine. At the same time, it also has a huge advantage in terms of price. The result is that later, In order to reduce costs and improve market competitiveness, Robinson Company has also begun to use Huateng Group's aviation kerosene engines. Now, in addition to the North American market that still uses Lycoming's piston gasoline aviation engines, Robinson Company sells helicopters around the world. Almost a quarter of them are equipped with engines produced by Huateng Group.

One of the most significant features of aeroengines is to maximize the potential of the engine and reduce weight, while ensuring the normal operation of the engine during its life cycle. This is very similar to the characteristics of motorcycle engines.

Jianghe had previously communicated with the aero-engine department and received a clear answer from the aero-engine department: We have never developed a four-cylinder motorcycle engine before. If you want us to develop a motorcycle engine with top performance and indicators, this We really don’t have much confidence yet, but if you just want a mid-level motorcycle engine, it’s definitely not a big problem.

With this promise, Jiang He felt relieved.

Hearing what Jiang He said, Zhang Qihang's interest also aroused, and he said enthusiastically: "Oh? So what displacement engine are you planning to build? What are your thoughts on the overall performance of this engine?"

Men, who doesn’t like motorcycles?
Even in his seventies and eighties, he still loves motorcycles.

Jiang Hedao: "We only have a rough idea now. The initial idea is to build a four-cylinder engine with a displacement between 400CC and 600CC, with a power of about 100 kilowatts per liter. As for the others, we are still discussing."

The so-called power per liter is 100 kilowatts, that is, if the final displacement is 500CC, then the maximum power of this engine is 50 kilowatts. If it is finally determined to be 600CC, then the maximum power is 60 kilowatts...

Ok?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang was suddenly startled: If I remember correctly, it seems that the maximum power of Huanglong 600 is 60 kilowatts?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang said without hesitation: "I think this data is a bit conservative."

"what do you mean?"

"Let's increase the power to 120 kilowatts," Zhang Qihang said: "Also, ask the aero-engine department. If conditions permit, it is best to set the displacement at the upper limit of medium displacement, not the lower limit."

Jiang He was keenly aware of what his boss might know and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Qihang did not hide it, and said: "I heard that the four major Japanese motorcycle engine manufacturers have unanimously set the displacement of the next generation of medium-displacement engines at 650CC to 750CC, and we are in motorcycle engines. You know the long-standing tradition in the industry: for the same displacement, our price is cheaper; for the same price, our displacement is larger."

Jiang He immediately understood what his boss meant: Yes, the motorcycle strategy of Huateng Group that has never been stated clearly is that "at the same displacement, the price of Huateng Group's motorcycles is cheaper; at the same price, the price of Huateng Group's motorcycles is cheaper." The volume is larger." After years of market cultivation, everyone has recognized this.

If Japan's four major motorcycle OEMs have all increased the displacement of their mid-displacement engine platforms, then their previous strategies were indeed a bit conservative, and they may easily suffer losses in future "fights".

Thinking of this, Jiang He nodded immediately: "I understand. I will discuss this matter with everyone when I get back."
