Chapter 157 Signing an Agreement (Part [-])
Chapter 157 Signing the Agreement

In 2011, February 2th, the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

Qin Yuanqing greeted the team of FAW Group at the entrance of the laboratory. Mr. Xu personally led the team, including the chief engineer and main technicians of FAW, a total of 5 people.

"Academician Qin, this is because you have placed a satellite. I couldn't sleep last night." Mr. Xu and Qin Yuanqing shook hands and smiled, then shook hands with the principal.

"President Xu, and distinguished guests, let's go to the meeting room first." Qin Yuanqing smiled.

Then he led the way to a meeting room. The meeting room was not big, it was a small meeting room, and it was specially used for two laboratories to hold meetings. At this time, tea and fruit were already placed on the table in the meeting room.

"Academician Qin, I don't know if the 6AT technology is true or not?" FAW chief engineer asked straight to the point.

This is also what FAW is most concerned about. They put down the important things at hand and come to Beijing as soon as possible. The most important thing is to confirm this matter.

"Of course, I'm not going to joke about it." Qin Yuanqing gave an affirmative answer: "However, the prototype has to be produced, that is to say, the technology research and development is only completed now, and the first step is just completed!"

"The prototype is easy to handle, and we at FAW still have strength." The chief engineer said without hesitation.

Just kidding, Huaxia has a complete industrial chain. Although the level of the industrial chain is relatively low, it is still easy to concentrate on making a few prototypes.

"According to the previous agreement, FAW has the priority, so what is the decision of FAW Group?" Qin Yuanqing looked at Mr. Xu.

Just kidding, without signing the authorization agreement, it is naturally impossible to hand over the technical data to FAW, otherwise FAW will turn its face and deny people, and it will suffer.

"We want this 6AT technology from FAW. I don't know if you want to buy out the technology or license the technology patent?" Mr. Xu said calmly.

6AT is the mainstream automatic transmission technology in today's world. No matter it is symbolic or practical, it is very important. Mr. Xu will not hesitate at all.

No matter how cheap a 6AT gearbox is, it will cost thousands of dollars, and the expensive one will cost tens of thousands of dollars. The higher the level, the higher the profit, but overall it is still not as good as the engine.

For example, for the engine authorized by Qin Yuanqing before, the manufacturing cost of the highest-grade engine was only 2 yuan, but the external procurement cost of FAW was as high as 8 yuan, and it would cost 4 yuan to replace it at a 13S shop.

Manufacturing cost and procurement cost are completely different things, and the price difference is huge. After all, the company just wants to make money, and the engine technology content is high, and the profit is naturally high.As for the 4S store, that is another matter.

It is precisely because the engine has such a huge profit that FAW pays the technology authorization fee very readily every time. It has never been in arrears, and it is settled immediately.

"The 6AT this time is developed according to the previous three engines, and it is also divided into high, medium and low gears. I think it is more appropriate to follow the technical authorization." Qin Yuanqing said.

Just kidding, the Huaxia auto market still has a golden period of at least 20 years, which is a huge profit, how could Qin Yuanqing think of buying out technology.

Although technology buyouts are many at one time, it is estimated that several billion buyout fees can be obtained, but the patent licensing fee is longer than that. According to the size of the Chinese market, it is estimated that it will exceed this amount in a few years.

The principal also personally participated in the negotiation, and it took about an hour to set the authorization fee. The high, medium, and low models were charged 1000 yuan, 500 yuan, and 200 yuan each.

As for the content of the agreement, it will be drafted by professional legal personnel, and they will sign it directly when the time comes.

The principal even suggested that a signing ceremony be held in Shuimu tomorrow afternoon and the media be invited to participate.

Qin Yuanqing did not expect the principal to propose such a proposal. He was still thinking about waiting for the prototype to be manufactured and passed the acceptance before holding a media conference.

However, he is still very confident in his ability, and the prototype manufacturing is definitely no problem, so he does not object.

However, Mr. Xu hesitated. After all, this is a major event. Once a media conference is held, it will be no small matter. Not only will the country be a sensation, but the entire world's auto industry will be a sensation. Once the prototype verification fails, the blow to FAW will be very serious. big.

The risk is too great!
He dared to sign the agreement because the agreement was based on the acceptance of the prototype. If the acceptance of the prototype failed, the agreement would be invalid naturally, and FAW would not lose anything.The successful acceptance of the prototype is a business that only makes money without losing money. By then, taking advantage of the advantage of low production costs, FAW's profit margins will increase significantly. At that time, whether it is to make profits or reduce the cost of gearboxes, overseas manufacturers will be squeezed out. , are all big killers.

So to be on the safe side, Mr. Xu proposed to wait for the prototype to be manufactured before holding the signing ceremony.

The headmaster didn't say anything, and he admitted to postponing the signing agreement.

Qin Yuanqing and the principal personally performed the friendship of the landlords, took the FAW leadership to visit the Shuimu campus, and then entertained the guests for dinner.

The next day, with the agreement reviewed by the legal personnel of both parties, Qin Yuanqing and Mr. Xu signed the agreement in person. After stamping, they will be in quadruplicate. The R&D personnel of the gearbox group will go to FAW together to participate in the prototype manufacturing.

After the agreement was signed, Qin Yuanqing was not afraid that FAW would turn his back on him. After all, with the agreement in hand, even if the matter was brought to the central government, he was the one who was justified.

So Qin Yuanqing asked Mr. Xu to go back with a complete document.

"Does this count as causing a major earthquake in the automobile industry?" Qin Yuanqing thought thoughtfully.

At this time, low-end cars are not equipped with automatic transmission but manual transmission. Mid-end cars are equipped with CVT gearboxes. Basically for luxury cars.

After all, no matter whether it is CVT or AT gearbox, domestic output is still relatively low, and more are joint venture factories and imports, which leads to high prices, and the competition for low-end cars is fierce, and profits are very thin. The profit of the car is basically around 1. If you don't use manual and use CVT, then you don't want to make money at all.

Whether it is other industries or the automobile industry, it is the same principle, you get what you pay for, and you can’t buy good things cheap, just like the engine, chassis, gearbox, etc. of low-end cars are definitely not as good as mid-end cars, and even more Not to mention comparing with high-end cars.

Last year, the sales of FAW's Hongqi were booming, and the supply was in short supply, because its performance was the most outstanding at the same price, but even so, the lowest-grade Hongqi was still a mid-range car, and its performance was very good.

FAW's Hongqi is definitely a hit, and the supply is in short supply. It was pulled away as soon as it was produced, and the order was full.

Once even 6AT is applied, Qin Yuanqing really doesn't understand how other European and American car companies can compete with FAW in China?
It is estimated that at that time, we can only rely on the status of foreign goods to attract those guys who worship foreigners to buy them, but this situation will not last long after all. After a few years, everyone will be clear-eyed and naturally know what to think.

Also, based on China's urgency, it is estimated that the good days of overseas engine factories and gearbox factories are coming to an end. Last year, the price of automobile engines around the world plummeted, which is the most obvious example. More than half are at a loss.

This is the advantage of Huaxia's large-scale industry. With its outstanding cost performance, it often defeats overseas manufacturers. Industrial rolling machines in developed countries are not called for nothing.

Of course, Qin Yuanqing is happy to see this kind of thing. The life and death of Europeans and Americans has nothing to do with him.

For Europe and the United States, Qin Yuanqing, who is an angry youth, has no good impressions.A group of guys whose ancestors made their fortunes by burning, killing, and looting have the right to point out China.There are even some people who openly say that if Chinese people live a good life in "America", then this will be a tragedy and disaster for mankind.

Good guy, it deserves that the Huaxia people can only live a hard life and earn hard money.And Europeans and Americans take it for granted that they only work four or five hours a day, drink coffee leisurely, earn high wages, and enjoy high benefits?
There is no such reason in the world.

Thinking that the automobile industry of the Americans has declined, and the automobile industry of Germany, France, Dongying, and Goguryeo is really on the rise, Qin Yuanqing sneered in his heart. The rise of the Huaxia automobile industry will have the greatest impact on Dongying and Goguryeo. These two watchdogs Well, it has been turbulent in recent years. Once their auto industry has been hit hard, let's see how capital they have.

To be honest, Qin Yuanqing can't understand these two countries very much. Relying on the opportunity of China's revival, he sucked blood to obtain excess profits, and just now maintained rapid economic growth. In the end, he even acted as a watchdog, and the dog barked loudly. Should be beaten to death.

Today in Asia, there has been a trend of relying on China for the economy and relying on the United States for security. This trend is really a deformity.

However, Qin Yuanqing believes that as long as China's national power becomes stronger, many things will be solved naturally.As the saying goes on the Internet, if you have one aircraft carrier, you are a threat to the world; if you have two aircraft carriers, you are a great threat to the world; if you have ten aircraft carriers, you are the guardian of world peace.

The same principle also appeared in Singapore, relying on China to gain huge benefits, become a developed country, and live a happy life.

The law of the jungle has always been the truth of this world.
