Perfection of Rebirth

Chapter 337 Vision of the Automobile Industry

Think twice before acting, Jiang Hui felt that there is no contradiction between comprehensive consideration before making a move and quickly grasping the opportunity. When doing things, you must learn to grasp the opportunity, and at the same time, you must think more when making decisions.Such talents have hope to reach the other side of success and remain invincible.

The automobile industry is a sunrise industry in China. Jiang Hui hopes that Guanghui Group will rush into the automobile industry when it is fully prepared, instead of blindly burning money there.

The automobile industry is a highly technology-intensive industry, which concentrates new materials, new equipment, new processes and new technologies in many scientific fields.Not to mention how expensive the early development is, even for a car that has been tested and finalized for production preparation, there are still a lot of content that needs to be done.

Processes, equipment and process equipment (tools, jigs, molds and measuring tools, etc.) need to be prepared before the car is put into production.Only some heavy-duty vehicles and special-purpose vehicles produced in small batches do not require heavy production preparations.In major automobile-producing countries, process equipment is manufactured by specialized factories, and automobile factories only propose finalized product drawings and production programs.These professional factories can be equipped with process equipment and special equipment within a certain period of time (generally no more than one year).

Before Jiang Hui completes Jaguar Land Rover, besides allowing Wang Jiang Motors to develop rapidly and building a set of sales channels and after-sales system, there are still many other things to do.In the previous life, Tata officially acquired Jaguar Land Rover in March 2008. If Jiang Hui wants to cut off Hu, it should not be later than this time.So in the three years of 3, 05, and 06, what preparations does Guanghui Group need to make?
It is actually not difficult to build a car factory, as long as you invest money.Automobile factories generally have four large workshops: stamping, welding, painting and assembly.

The main equipment in the stamping workshop is machine tools of various tonnages, because the large stamping parts such as the four doors and two covers of the car are generally made by the main engine factory, which can be bought at a cost, whether it is the domestic Jier Machine Tool Factory or Schuler Machine tools, or companies such as Aida and Yamada in the island country, can buy punching machines used in automobile stamping workshops as long as they spend money.Of course, Jiang Hui can also purchase a machine tool factory in advance. Anyway, in the future, China will have a great demand for high-precision automotive stamping machine tools. Whether it is for self-use or investment, it is a good opportunity.

In the case of the welding workshop, there are various robots and welding equipment.This is also something that can be bought with money.Whether it is KUKA, ABB, FANUC, or Shougang Yaskawa, there are various manipulators suitable for automobile welding.In later generations, KUKA was acquired by Midea, so Jiang Hui can consider finding a suitable opportunity in the past few years to see if he can acquire KUKA.

The painting workshop and the final assembly workshop are similar. It takes more than a year to establish a workshop by spending money on various equipment.

However, production workshops can be bought with money, and the core technology of some cars is not so easy to obtain.Such as engine control unit, chassis tuning technology, matching technology of engine and gearbox, etc.

China's auto industry has entered the fast lane of development in recent years.Various independent brands have also begun to develop, but if you look carefully, you will find that the engines and gearboxes in many cars are outsourced.Even when Jiang Hui was reborn, many independent brands still had no way to produce their own gearboxes, especially automatic gearboxes.

If Guanghui Group can acquire Jaguar Land Rover, there will definitely be no problem in terms of vehicle design. Just expand the research and development team of Jaguar Land Rover, send a group of engineers from Tianchao to study, and set up a research and development branch in Tianchao. There is no big problem with the design of the whole car.

What Jiang Hui needs to lay out in advance is the auto parts industry, and see if there are any suitable parts companies to acquire a few in the past few years.It can be used for supporting the products of our own company in the future, and we can also reserve more manpower to prepare for future expansion.

For example, in terms of stamping, Jiang Hui thinks that he can consider buying Ogiwara, an island country, in the next two years.This company has very rich experience in the automobile mold industry, but the automobile market in the island country has stagnated after decades of development. Therefore, if many auto parts companies in the island country do not develop overseas markets, they will have a hard time. Not so good.After Guanghui Group acquired Ogihara, it can not only solve the problem of mold production in the stamping workshop, but also solve the problem of processing large stamping parts.For the remaining small stamping parts, it is enough to entrust other suppliers to manufacture them at that time, and it is impossible for the OEM to do everything.

As for resin parts, since most parts are not particularly high-tech, there is no need to rush to acquire parts companies unless there is a more suitable opportunity.

As for parts such as lamps, air conditioners, instruments, seat belts, seats, steering wheels, steering gears, exhaust pipes, rims, tires, glass, etc., it depends on the opportunity.The manufacturers of these parts are relatively professional, and it is very difficult to start from scratch. If there is a suitable opportunity, it is better to acquire a few, and then outsource the rest.

Different OEMs have different opinions on whether auto parts should be self-produced or outsourced, and even the same company has different ideas at different stages.

Judging from the current stage, European and American manufacturers generally tend to entrust the vast majority of parts to relatively independent parts companies for production.They believe that this kind of production efficiency is higher, and in the case of more intense competition, product quality, cost and technological development will be faster.

The auto companies in island countries and South Korea are different. They cultivate a supply system more by themselves, and their core suppliers have various capital relationships with them.Just like Hyundai Mobis and Hyundai Group, Denso and Toyota, Showa and Honda, Jatco and Nissan, they all have close capital relationships, and they are even directly the holding companies of OEMs.

Auto companies with their own brands are more interesting.No country in the world has so many auto companies in China.Tianchao's self-owned brand actually wants to be produced by the OEM itself as much as possible, but it has more than enough energy.Since I didn't master the core parts technology, I could only buy various parts from different suppliers and assemble them together.

Jiang Hui thought a lot. It seems that if he wants to enter the automobile industry, it is best to find a few people in the automobile industry as consultants and make a detailed plan.Moreover, this plan is not suitable to be carried out with great fanfare at this stage. After all, Guanghui Group has entered the automobile industry, but there is no shadow of it.

However, who can tell what the future holds?Perhaps in more than ten years, the largest automobile company in China will be Brilliant Automobile.
