Chapter 684
Zhang Qihang did not hide anything, and said calmly: "I will authorize the obtained engine technology to one or two companies for production depending on the situation."

"Is that so..."

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Yoshino Toshio seemed to have nothing changed on the surface, but he was relieved in his heart.

Toshio Yoshino is not afraid that Zhang Qihang will license the technology of Honda's F-series engines to outsiders, but he is afraid that Zhang Qihang will flood the technology without restraint, just like Chang'an Automobile obtained the minibus from Dongying's Suzuki Automobile Co., Ltd., that is, Suzuki carry After the technical authorization of ST-90, they spread all the technical information of this product to dozens of domestic automobile manufacturers for free.

Faced with this situation, not only Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd. is stupid, but the entire Japanese industry is also stupid!
In this world, there are such foolish companies that give away the technology that they have worked hard and spent a lot of money to others for free? !
Because there has never been any precedent for this matter in Dongying, so when Suzuki hurriedly took out the technical cooperation contract they signed with Changan Automobile to see where the other party breached the contract, they were shocked to find out the other party's approach There is no violation of the rules - the contract only stipulates that Changan Automobile shall not authorize the technology to third-party companies, but it does not stipulate that Changan Automobile shall not "donate" the Suzuki carry ST-90 technology to third parties. Suzuki Automobile Co., Ltd. is dumb Eating Coptis chinensis, the mouth is full of bitterness but nothing can be said.

It was also after this time that the Dongying industry learned a lesson. When Huaxia companies cooperated, they agreed not to transfer the technology to third parties in any way. Zhang Qihang said that he would license the F-series engine technology obtained from Honda to Production by one or two companies is obviously an intention to control the spread of technology, which is also in the interests of Honda Motor.

But he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Toshio Yoshino shook his head immediately: "Impossible! We absolutely cannot agree to such a condition!"

"Oh? Why do you say that."

Zhang Qihang raised his eyebrows, waiting for Toshio Yoshino to give himself an explanation.

"Because we obtained your automatic transmission technology for our own use, and we will not spread this technology," Toshio Yoshino said confidently: "So, Mr. Zhang, even if Honda is willing to share the technology and patents of the F-series engine with you exchange, but just like Honda obtained your automatic transmission patent and only uses it for itself, after you obtain the F-series engine technology, you can only use it for yourself and cannot spread or transfer it to a third party."

How could Zhang Qihang be deceived by Yoshino Toshio's words?He smiled and said: "Mr. Yoshino, so Honda agrees to my conditions and agrees to a technology exchange?"

Ok?
Yoshino Toshio didn't expect Zhang Qihang to say that, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, we just think carefully."

"That's it..." Zhang Qihang seemed to be a little regretful, he suddenly sighed, looked at Toshio Yoshino seriously, and said, "Mr. I designed the engine of the car?"

Hearing this, Toshio Yoshino couldn't help being stunned: Why did he suddenly say this?
Although he didn't know why Zhang Qihang suddenly mentioned this, he still had an instinctive feeling that something was wrong, but in line with the principle of keeping the same in response to all changes, he nodded: "Uh... I know something..."

"Since you know that I design the motorcycle engines of our Huateng Group, and this parallel shaft self-propelled gearbox is also made by me, then you should understand that for me, I can easily imitate your Honda's F-series engines..."

Toshio Yoshino's expression turned ugly, and he couldn't help interrupting Zhang Qihang's words, saying: "You can do this, and I believe you can do it, but you are not afraid that our Honda Motor will stop working with your domestic auto companies. Cooperation?"

Zhang Qihang was stunned: "You mean that Honda Motor will put pressure on our country on the grounds that its technology has been violated by Chinese companies, and then our government will stop us from doing so?"

Yoshino Toshio nodded, and readily admitted: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Toshio Yoshino hoped that his words could bring some pressure to Zhang Qihang, but Zhang Qihang's reaction disappointed him. Facing the solution he gave, Zhang Qihang's expression did not change at all. He nodded very calmly and said: "Actually, it doesn't affect me at all. The big deal is that we don't imitate your Honda engines, but imitate other brands of engines, such as Toyota's, GM's, Ford's and even Mercedes-Benz... I am fully capable of imitating Any excellent civil engine in the world today, as long as I am not imitating your Honda engine, you have no excuse, right?"

"..."

Yoshino Toshio was speechless.

It was also at this time that he discovered the problem: yes, for Zhang Qihang, who can independently design and develop motorcycle engines and parallel-shaft automatic transmissions, his ability is enough to undertake any challenge he has in the world today. The "coveting heart" of a civilian gasoline engine, but there is no way to prevent this kind of thing-you don't transfer technology, but you have to sell the car, right?When I buy one or several new cars, I can imitate the engine. As long as Zhang Qihang’s imitation is not a Honda product, Honda will have nothing to do with him.

After being silent for a while, Toshio Yoshino said helplessly, "Well, Mr. Zhang, I believe you have this ability, but in this case, why didn't you do this, but chose to exchange technology with us? As far as I know, the government of your country seems to support your behavior... well, is it quite supportive?"

During the speech, Yoshino Toshio couldn't help but carry a bit of resentment in his tone.

"Indeed, at least at this stage, our country is acquiescing and even secretly supporting this kind of behavior," Zhang Qihang did not deny this, but he went on to say: "But the problem is that this kind of thing is not in line with the law after all." If there is a choice, I am not willing to do so. I hope to deal with this matter within the scope of internationally accepted rules-of course, if you really have no choice, you are determined not to do so. If you are willing to cooperate with me, then there is no way, the rules are, to some extent, designed to be broken at some point."

I don't know why, but after hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Toshio Yoshino breathed a sigh of relief, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "Is this the first reason? Is there a second reason? "

"Of course there is." Now that Toshio Yoshino saw it, Zhang Qihang did not hide it, and nodded happily: "As for the second reason, design and manufacture are two different things after all. I have completed the imitation work, but this is only In the first step, there are still many technical problems to be solved in the production process..."

Understood!
Zhang Qihang has already said it so bluntly, what else does Toshio Yoshino not understand?
The reason why Zhang Qihang is determined to take the path of "technical exchange" is that he hopes that Honda can send technical instructors to provide technical guidance throughout the production and manufacturing process of Huateng Industrial Group's F-series engines while conducting technical exchanges with him. Ensure that the quality, quality, reliability, and durability of the produced engine reach the level of the original Honda factory, and these problems are also the most difficult for imitators...or to put it more directly, it is difficult to do at all, because it involves The overall management system of an enterprise.

For Zhang Qihang and Huateng Industrial Group, it is not difficult at all to imitate Honda's F-series engines. The difficulty is to make the engines produced by Huateng Industrial Group reach the same quality as Honda. The most direct reason for technology exchange.

Toshio Yoshino, who finally understood this point, couldn't help but feel bitter. He knew that his and His Excellency Kawamoto's previous ideas would not work, because for Zhang Qihang, he had countless choices:

First of all, if Honda is willing to exchange technology with him, that is of course the best;

But if Honda is unwilling, he can choose to imitate Honda's F-series engine;
If Honda uses this as an excuse to put pressure on the Chinese government, then Zhang Qihang can completely abandon this imitation, and instead imitate mature engines from other manufacturers...

It is completely offensive and defensive.

It is also because Zhang Qihang can attack and retreat, which means that Honda has no way to control him. After all, for Zhang Qihang, as long as Honda makes him unhappy, he will stop playing: I will play another way!
For Honda, the parallel-shaft automatic transmission designed by Zhang Qihang is already the best and most economical way to get rid of the control of Aisin Seiki in the field of automatic transmissions. In this way, Brother Kawamoto It seems that there is no need to figure out the two questions that I asked myself to figure out.

After a while, Toshio Yoshino finally raised his head and said to Zhang Qihang, "I need to think about it."

Looking at Toshio Yoshino, who was finally about to bow his head and admit defeat, Zhang Qihang was in a good mood, and he nodded with a smile: "Of course, this is what it should be, by the way, Mr. Yoshino, please remember, I'm talking about the F series I want to exchange. engine and the K-series engine."

"It's impossible," Toshio Yoshino's face suddenly changed: "The F series engine is already the limit of our Honda!"

K-series engines?
That is an engine that our Honda is currently developing and has not yet been put into use.

Zhang Qihang didn't care about Toshio Yoshino's resistance, and said with a smile: "The K series is also developed on the basis of the F series. If necessary, I can even participate in the design of your K series engines." Go, help you complete the design of the K series engine as soon as possible. Of course, I will not let you suffer, I will take out the subsequent five-speed and six-speed parallel shaft gearboxes and exchange them with you."

"Nani?!"

Zhang Qihang's words stunned Toshio Yoshino, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about? You have designed five-speed and six-speed parallel shaft automatic transmissions?"

Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "Yes."

Toshio Yoshino stopped talking, and began to quickly calculate in his heart: If it is just to replace the 4-speed parallel shaft automatic transmission, there is no doubt that Honda will suffer, but if it is replaced with a 20-speed, [-]-speed or even a [-]-speed If it is a parallel-shaft automatic transmission with high speed, then this transmission can meet Honda’s needs for the development of automatic transmission technology in the next [-] years or longer. From this perspective, the technology of F series and K series engines In exchange, Honda doesn't seem to suffer?
As for the matter of letting Zhang Qihang participate in the design of the K series engine, the idea just passed through Toshio Yoshino's mind, and then he left it behind. He did not doubt Zhang Qihang's expertise in engine design. I also believe that the joining of Zhang Qihang can indeed greatly promote the development progress of the K series engine, but such a genius in engine and transmission has entered Honda Giken, who can guarantee that this is not a bad thing?
Anyway, in the current situation, this does seem to be the optimal solution.

Thinking of this, Toshio Yoshino finally nodded: "I need to ask President Kawamoto for instructions."

"Of course, this is what it should be," Toshio Yoshino finally let go and stopped entangled in some previous issues, which made Zhang Qihang very happy, and he tentatively said: "Also, Mr. Yoshino, you have a suggestion that you can consider a bit."

Although he didn't know what Zhang Qihang was up to, Toshio Yoshino still nodded: "What suggestion? Tell me."

"Why don't we jointly build an engine and gearbox manufacturing plant," Zhang Qihang tentatively said, "Anyway, Honda's joint venture in China will need engines and gearboxes, and Huateng Industrial Group will also need engines and gearboxes in the future. Let's build an engine and gearbox production plant together, which can meet the needs of our two companies at the same time, and even sell to a third party if necessary, what do you think?"

Zhang Qihang originally thought that Toshio Yoshino would refuse, but to his surprise, Toshio Yoshino was seriously considering this issue. Box factory? I will ask President Shanchuan to consider it carefully, but Zhang Jun, I must remind you that the capital required to build an engine production factory is not a small amount, and the amount of construction funds required for a gearbox production factory is even more More than an engine production plant."

"Thank you, I understand this," Zhang Qihang nodded cheerfully, "Our Huateng Industrial Group should have enough funds, and I can also find some strategic investors."

Toshio Yoshino thought in his heart: Can strategic investors be found?
