Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 270 The surprise and surprise brought by Xingchen Car

After all, cars are related to everyone's safety.

Therefore, not only investment and construction of automobile factories require approval, but also various models produced by automobile factories need to obtain permission before they can be put on the market.

It can be said that the automobile industry is still an industry that is highly related to policies.

Therefore, every company has someone who is responsible for dealing with relevant departments.

As for which car companies have made announcements about their new models, each car company often gets the news as soon as possible.

Likewise, investment approvals for new car companies have been approved.

Things like this will be known to peers in the industry as soon as possible.

"Mr. Wang, it's a little strange that Xingchen Automobile received investment approval so smoothly."

"The news I heard some time ago is that the ministries and commissions have tightened the requirements for each automobile factory to set up independent legal person factories in other places."

"Unless it is a merger or reorganization of local automobile companies, it will not be approved at all."

"I didn't expect that under such circumstances, Xingchen Automobile would obtain approval so easily and quickly."

"Could it be that the higher-ups want to promote Xingchen Automobile as a model?"

In BYD's canteen, Wu Huabian grabbed a seat opposite Wang Fu today.

As soon as he put down his dinner plate, he couldn't help but tell Wang Fu about his latest news.

"Xingchen Motors is backed by Nanshan Group and has its own unique advantages."

“It is not impossible to get approval from the ministry.”

"But their positioning is high-end models. It stands to reason that ministries and commissions now do not think that independent brands are suitable for high-end models."

"I haven't even learned to walk yet, so I started running."

"Toyota started developing luxury cars after decades of developing economy cars."

"Even so, there is still a gap in brand influence between Lexus and BMW and Mercedes-Benz."

"As soon as Xingchen Automobile came up, it went for Mercedes-Benz and BMW. It seemed like I could get key support from the ministries and commissions."

Wang Fu’s views are a bit different from Wu Hua Cake’s.

In his opinion, although Xingchen Automobile is indeed worthy of everyone's expectation and admiration, that kind of approach is obviously not worth encouraging.

If we follow everyone else's lead in producing economical cars, we may achieve unexpected results.

But now...

Even though BYD has a close relationship with Nanshan, Wang Fu is not optimistic about the positioning of Xingchen Auto.

"What you said also makes sense."

"But in this case, it is a bit incomprehensible that they obtained the qualification to produce cars so easily."

"At the beginning, we had no way to get approval, so in the end we had no choice but to spend money to acquire Qinchuan Automobile, obtain the qualification to produce passenger cars, and move into the automobile manufacturing field."

Everything is about comparison.

Comparing BYD's popular passenger car production qualification process with Xingchen Automobile, Wu Huabing felt a little unbalanced.

"This is indeed a bit strange."

"However, there are quite a few strange things that have happened to Nanshan Group. It is not surprising that there are so many more orders."

"Maybe they have some connections that we don't know about."

Wang Fu didn't particularly dwell on this matter.

Xingchen Automobile can definitely obtain the production qualification, he is very sure of this.

It’s nothing more than how to obtain it.

"That's true."

"It's been more than two months since they announced they were going to build a car. I don't know if the progress is going well or not, but I'm really curious!"

What Wu Hua Cing said was true from the bottom of his heart.

Although he is not optimistic about Xingchen Automobile, he is very curious about what kind of car Xingchen Automobile will build.

"When we were working on the F6, Mr. Cao specifically suggested that we learn from Honda's Accord."

"That's why we were able to develop F6 in such a short period of time, and it is considered relatively successful now."

"If Xingchen Motors wants to quickly launch its own models, the best possibility is to learn from the world's major luxury models."

"Mercedes-Benz S Series, Mercedes-Benz E Series, BMW 7 Series, BMW 5 Series, or Toyota's Lexus or General Motors' Cadillac."

"When the time comes to replace it with Nanshan's own engine and gearbox, the product may be ready by the end of next year."

BYD itself is engaged in automobile manufacturing.

So Wang Fu knows very well how difficult it is to build a new model from scratch.

It can even be said that it is not a normal approach for a brand new car company to build a car from scratch.

Whether "borrowing" or plagiarizing, this is the fate of most car companies' first models.

"I'll try to find a way to inquire and see if I can get some information."

The less clear the situation was, the more curious Wu Huabing became.

Wang Fu would naturally not object to this.

……

"Leader, this trip to the department went smoothly, which is a bit unexpected."

"I guess Mr. Cao will be shocked when he finds out the news."

Just after getting off the plane, Luo Yi, who had always been very steady, couldn't help but mention to Liu Tianwu the matter of Xingchen Motors' passenger car production qualifications.

This matter is nominally promoted by Liu Tianwu, but in fact Luo Yi is following up on many specific tasks.

Therefore, Luo Yi has more say than Liu Tianwu about the process and the changes in attitudes of relevant staff.

"It's definitely a bit surprising."

"The procedures for Yangcheng Toyota have not been completed yet, but the results for Xingchen Motors have already come out."

"Originally, I thought that this year Yangcheng applied for two companies at the same time. The ministry would give Yangcheng Toyota a chance first, and then wait until next year before considering Xingchen Auto."

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"It seems that Mr. Cao has made some preparations."

Liu Tianwu himself had already used all the connections he could use.

But the effect is not good.

So in the end, if this matter was suddenly handled so smoothly, it must not be because of his relationship.

In other words, this matter must have been caused by Nanshan Group itself.

Only in this way can this matter make sense.

"I heard that Xingchen Automobile passed the approval so smoothly because the chief director gave internal instructions, so the attitude of the staff in various departments and divisions towards this matter has changed a lot."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Cao could have such influence in the imperial capital despite being so quiet."

When Luo Yi said this, Liu Tianwu took it seriously.

I used to think that Nanshan Group could only rely on itself if it needed to deal with government departments.

Now it seems that is not the case.

It seems that we need to keep an eye on Nanshan Group's affairs in the future to avoid being poached.

"Ronald, please go back and follow up on the land acquisition matter."

"Nanshan Industrial Park has heated up the surrounding land in recent years, and many villagers are not so cooperative."

"Don't let these things delay the development of Xingchen Automobile."

Inexplicably, Liu Tianwu has a little more confidence in the future of Xingchen Automobile.

We have technology, we have capital, we have connections.

There is no reason for Xingchen Automobile to hit the street.

……

Xingchen Automotive Research Institute can be said to be brightly lit during this period.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

If employees are unwilling to work overtime, it must be because they are not paid enough.

Cao Yang obviously has a very clear understanding of this.

Therefore, the lowest salary in the entire institute is 3000 yuan a month.

In 2004, it definitely couldn't be considered low.

The overtime pay provided by Xingchen Automobile is in full compliance with the Labor Law, and it is not a penny less.

The most important thing is that Cao Yang has said that as long as the drawing design of the product development stage and the first stage of parts verification are completed within this year, the number of bonus months for the institute will be the same as that of other branches of Nanshan Group.

You know, Cao Yang had promised the people of Nanshan Group that as long as the annual business goals could be achieved, the bonus would be one month more than the previous year.

Starting from a three-month bonus in 1999, by last year, the bonus was equivalent to seven months' salary.

Although the bonus base is only the basic salary, it is not the average salary including various benefits.

But the number of months is also very scary.

In the whole of China, there are only a handful of companies that can offer such a high monthly bonus as Nanshan Group.

Therefore, even though the basic salary of Nanshan Group is still somewhat different from that of some foreign-funded enterprises, the difference is actually not that big after taking into account the total income for the year.

The key is that Nanshan Group is booming and can provide many development opportunities.

As long as the position is promoted, the annual income increase is not just a matter of one more month of bonus and a 10% increase in basic salary.

In recent years, the employee turnover rate of Nanshan Group has been extremely low.

As a company just established this year, Xingchen Automobile has not earned back a penny to the group.

Everyone thought there would be no bonuses this year.

Even if there is, the ideal time is 3 months.

But Cao Yang immediately raised everyone's expectations.

Originally, the average salary of Xingchen Automobile employees was higher than that of the group as a whole.

Now that the number of bonus months can be equalized again, everyone's enthusiasm cannot be overemphasized.

"Mr. Cao, the painting standards, electroplating standards and subframe durability test standards have all been compiled. Today's meeting is mainly to confirm the rationality of these standards."

Yao Yongxiang is obviously a little thinner than when he joined the company. He stays in the company from morning to night every day, and even lives directly in the company most of the time. It is normal to lose weight.

"The three major parts of the car, the engine and gearbox should not be broken. The chassis is the focus of our attention."

"Whether it is the subframe, the control arm, or the suspension spring, stabilizer bar and steering knuckle, if there is a problem with any part in the chassis area, safety accidents will occur."

"No matter how bad it is, problems such as abnormal noise and corrosion will occur. We must not be negligent."

Although many of the parts on the chassis are parts that consumers don’t pay much attention to when buying a car.

But it has a very big impact on the safety and comfort of using the car.

Cao Yang also has a very clear understanding of this.

So after completing the first and second phases of design tasks, he focused his main time on the chassis field.

"Our SPEC standards refer to the standards of Pan Asia, Volkswagen, Toyota and other companies in the industry, and are compiled based on some of our own considerations."

"Especially in terms of coating standards, we have divided them into two broad categories of SPEC standards based on the different anti-corrosion requirements of parts."

"Then within these two major categories, there are four subcategories, and each subcategory has several different levels of requirements."

"It can be considered that the corrosion resistance requirements of different parts and different regions have been fully taken into account."

When it comes to professional matters, Yao Yongxiang is still very eloquent.

"As the most important and core work in the product development stage, the SPEC requirements, test conditions, and test requirements for each part and each process are the cornerstone of Xingchen Automobile's future development, and it cannot be overemphasized."

"As a brand new automobile company, there is definitely a gap between our accumulation in this area and that of international automobile giants."

"On the one hand, we can comprehensively compare their standards as a reference."

"On the other hand, we can also make some modifications based on Xingchen Automobile's positioning and Chinese characteristics."

"As for the specific content, you are more professional than me, so I won't read it one by one."

Ordinary consumers have never dealt with SPEC requirements and test conditions for auto parts.

But it's something really important in the car development process.

The tape measure department of its own brand can learn from other people's parts structure, and even find corresponding suppliers to find some universal standards.

However, it is very difficult to obtain specific testing requirements for certain functional parts.

Even if you get one or two parts by chance, most of them are still out of reach.

For example, if you want to know the testing requirements for Bosch ESP, where can you get them?

Even customers like Volkswagen may not have complete testing requirements and standards.

These parts are all developed by the suppliers themselves.

The R&D personnel of the OEM are definitely not as powerful as the suppliers.

On a car, parts like ESP developed by suppliers are far more than ESP.

Even except for body parts and interior and exterior plastic parts, most functional parts are developed by suppliers.

Parts giants such as Magna and Bosch are definitely no less powerful than ordinary automobile manufacturers.

They can even make cars, but car manufacturers have no way to make some parts.

The doorway here is sometimes difficult for laymen to understand.

"President Cao, don't worry!"

"Our research institute has organized a department responsible for writing and confirming the technical requirements of various parts."

"Even regarding the performance, chemical composition and other requirements of various material grades and the technical requirements of various basic processes, we will form a "Star Automotive Technical Standard Manual" and will regularly maintain and update these standards in the future."

Yao Yongxiang is full of energy now.

The stunning appearance of Xingchen 1 and the rapid development progress made him full of confidence in the future.
