Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 166 In fact, no one is stupid

When the big boss sets the direction, it's easier for the people below to do their jobs.

I spent the whole morning chatting in the conference room and visited the site again in the afternoon.

In the end, the teams from both sides had an in-depth exchange of ideas, and a cooperation that will leave important traces in the history of China's automobile development has begun.

With such a cooperation project, Nanshan R&D Center immediately added more than a dozen project teams.

Before, they pretended to study steering gears, steering columns, instruments, DA and other parts, and immediately started recruiting more people.

With the blessing of the 6AT automatic transmission, Nanshan's reputation in the automotive industry has become much stronger than last year.

At least when it comes to campus recruitment this year, students from Lingnan University of Technology won’t be indifferent.

After the efforts and screening of the Human Resources Department, the number of employees recruited by the school has also increased from 200 last year to 500.

Of course, school recruitment is relatively smooth this year. In addition to Nanshan's increasing strength, the employment pressure after the enrollment expansion is also a contributing factor.

College enrollment began to expand in 98, and students will graduate in 2002.

Now that we are in the first semester of our senior year, it is the peak period for job hunting.

Everyone's choices are obviously not as many as before.

"Mr. Cao, there are so many automobile companies in China, and even the independent brands of large companies like Spring City Automobile Group and Xifeng Automobile Group are not very good."

"Will BYD, a new entrant into the industry, be sure to succeed?"

"For BYD's car-making project, we have expanded the research on so many parts at once. When the time comes to invest in manpower and material resources, there may not necessarily be gains."

Zeng Tingting has always been more daring to speak out in front of Cao Yang.

She supports Nanshan's strategic cooperation with BYD.

After all, many of Nanshan's products do need a platform and an opportunity to prove their strength.

But she felt that it was unnecessary to add some additional parts.

This kind of investment will be in vain if it doesn't produce results.

"In addition to BYD, aren't Great Wall Motors and Changan Automobile also exploring more in-depth cooperation with us?"

"Besides, although we do not have strategic cooperation with Spring City Motors and Xifeng Motors, it does not mean that our parts have no chance to be installed on their vehicles."

"As long as the product works well on other models, there is a very high possibility that they will seek cooperation with us."

Cao Yang is relatively familiar with the work style of these large state-owned enterprises.

In his previous life, he himself had worked in such a company.

Pioneering and innovative matters are faced with many obstacles in large state-owned enterprises.

But if there are already successful cases and everyone adopts them, it will be much easier.

Many of Nanshan's new parts are obviously not suitable for promotion in these large companies first. Instead, they need to cooperate with independent brands such as BYD and Great Wall.

"That's what we say, but in that case, wouldn't all the costs and pressure fall on ourselves?"

"By then our products have not been developed, BYD will just have to find other manufacturers to cooperate."

"They won't bear a penny of the cost we invested in advance."

Obviously, Zeng Tingting has always looked down upon BYD.

There is no way. If you are engaged in battery research, the other party is a senior and worth learning from Nanshan.

But in terms of other parts, Nanshan is completely alone and helping BYD build cars.

"Even without BYD, we still have to study these parts."

"Now it's just a matter of speeding up the progress."

"So you don't have to be too limited to our strategic cooperation with BYD."

Cao Yang has already made a decision, and it is obviously not something that the little secretary can change with just a few words.

“The first phase of our project is almost complete.”

"We need to keep up with the orders from Ford and General Motors."

"Volkswagen also needs to find ways to achieve a breakthrough in 6AT."

"As for domestic independent brands that have already obtained cooperation intentions, they must find ways to further expand the market."

"The best thing is to keep our production capacity under tension so that we can maintain fast-paced expansion."

With the emergence of 6AT, Cao Yang felt that it was time for Nanshan to enter the fast lane of development.

"I understand that the new director of the Personnel and General Affairs Department has been put in place, and there has been some progress in recruiting assistants for you."

"At that time, I will hand over the work and visit every customer properly."

Zeng Tingting saw that Cao Yang did not want to discuss the cooperation with BYD anymore, so she had to give up.

Fortunately, Nanshan now has the killer weapon of 6AT, and the future is bright.

In a short period of time, a lot of additional manpower and material resources have been invested in various parts, which will not bring any obstacles to the development of Nanshan.

……

While Nanshan is constantly discussing the cooperation project with BYD internally, BYD is also discussing the car-building project in full swing.

Among them, cooperation with Nanshan will inevitably be the focus of discussion.

After all, according to the current situation, Nanshan will be BYD's largest supplier.

Not only automatic transmissions are supplied, but also a number of other parts are supplied.

"Mr. Wang, we have completely disassembled the Accord 2.4L luxury version. The most critical engine and gearbox are basically determined to use a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine and Nanshan's 6AT automatic gearbox."

"Currently, most of the models of our own brands have MT manual transmissions. By then, we can make our new car the first mid-size car to have 6AT as standard across all models."

During this period, Liang Chuanqing focused all his energy on the construction project.

This new model is the key to BYD's transformation.

"Honda's engine technology is very good. We will copy the Accord's 2.4L engine, so there will be no problem with the direction."

"But the timing control system and ECU inside are very critical. Do you think Nanshan can handle it?"

After visiting Nanshan, Wang Fu had a deeper understanding of Nanshan's strength.

However, the engine is a flaw in China's automobile industry, and no manufacturer has done a good job so far.

As a key part of the engine, he was naturally worried about whether Nanshan could handle it.

If BYD produces its own 2.4L engine by then, the fuel consumption will be much higher than that of the Accord, the noise will be much louder, and the durability will be much worse. It will definitely be criticized by many people.

"Nanshan has very rich experience in machine tool CNC systems. Even Siemens and FANUC have been taught lessons by them."

"In addition, the TCU on the gearbox is also independently developed by them. I think the possibility that they can produce the ECU is still very high."

"As for parts related to the timing system, although they have no experience, it is obviously more appropriate to leave them to ECU manufacturers to develop these parts rather than looking for other manufacturers to cooperate."

"After all, many of the working principles and logic of this system are closely related to the control logic of the ECU."

“The rest is nothing more than the production of hardware.”

"In this regard, I'm not worried anymore."

Liang Chuanqing is in charge of research and development.

Because of this, he knows more clearly how strong Nanshan's current research and development capabilities are.

"In that case, then you can proceed according to the current plan."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the process, please come to me at any time."

Wang Fu had no better choice now, so he agreed to Liang Chuanqing's proposal.
