Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 279 Each one is more bold than the other, and 12-cylinder engines have been proposed.

Various OEMs are holding year-end supplier conferences with great vigor, and Nanshan Group also has a year-end summary.

The group's headquarters director and branch vice presidents and above all attended the meeting.

Of course, some specific revenue data will definitely not be announced at this meeting.

However, I can still explain to you the development status and turnover information of each business segment, as well as the arrangements for 2005.

"Mr. Cao, in 2004 the group's turnover innovatively reached 502 billion, a year-on-year increase of more than 60%. This figure is expected to be the No. 1 turnover among private enterprises in Lingnan Province."

"Specifically, Nanshan Transmission continues to be the group's largest business presence, with the number of various types of transmissions sold reaching a record high of 280 million units, and the turnover exceeding 196 billion yuan."'

"Nanshan Special Steel has also given full play to its advantages. The annual turnover has reached 105 billion yuan, and it is still expanding its share of high-end special steel. There is room for continued improvement in turnover."

"Nanshan Auto Parts' performance this year is also very outstanding. Among them, the bearing and gear business has created a turnover of 68 billion because it provided a large number of gearbox components to Ford Motor."

"Other auto parts have also benefited from the rapid increase in sales of self-owned brand models this year, contributing a total turnover of more than 52 billion."

"Nanshan Engine has provided more than 35 engines to various customers, contributing a turnover of approximately 42 billion."

"Nanshan Mold has provided various customers with various molds, fixtures and inspection tools such as PRG molds and TRF molds for more than 12 billion yuan this year."

"Nanshan Equipment has also sold a total of 18 billion complete sets of equipment to customers within the group and customers outside the group."

"In addition, Nanshan Robot also contributed more than 2 million in turnover."

"In addition, Autohome and Nanshan Investment also contributed several hundred million in revenue to the group."

"In the end, the group achieved the goals set at the beginning of the year, both in terms of turnover and operating profit."

After Dong Shengnan finished speaking, everyone present could not help but actively applaud in celebration.

This achievement is not easy.

If Nanshan Gearbox hadn't been powerful enough and received a large number of orders both internationally and domestically, and the factory was expanding again and again, this year's goal of 500 billion would definitely not have been achieved.

Even when the target was set at the beginning of the year, 500 billion itself was a challenging target, and there was also an internal conservative target of 450 billion.

Now that the best expectations have been achieved, it is certainly worth celebrating.

Everyone’s year-end bonus and salary increase are also closely related to this indicator.

"The domestic auto market in 2004 was actually quite complicated. Overall, it can be said to be a periodic trough."

"Modu Volkswagen's full-year sales were even tens of thousands less than last year."

"Under such circumstances, the group can continue to maintain this growth, which is inseparable from everyone's efforts."

"However, we must also be aware of the seriousness of future development. If we want to continue to maintain this rapid growth, it will definitely be very difficult, or even impossible."

"However, starting from 2005, the engines we supply to various independent brands will be expanded to 2.0T turbocharged engines and 1.0T turbocharged engines."

"The engine business is expected to further expand."

"In terms of gearboxes, the latest 8AT automatic gearbox will also be officially launched to continue to maintain our technological leadership."

"This year, gearboxes will still be the most important driving force for the group's growth. In addition to continuing to expand users in the international market, the domestic market share must also be expanded as much as possible."

“Whatever type of gearbox our customers want, we will do our best to develop that type.”

"The domestic automobile market will soon exceed 600 million units, leaving us with a lot of room for development."

Dong Shengnan introduced the overall situation, and Cao Yang naturally had to stand up and say a few words.

"China's economy has entered a stage of rapid development since joining the WTO."

"Although the automobile market was not so prosperous in 2004, that was only relative."

"Overall, the auto market was still growing last year, and it will definitely continue to grow this year, and next year too."

"Even in the next ten years, the auto market will continue to grow rapidly."

"Each factory must plan its production capacity in advance to avoid a situation where the market needs more parts but we cannot supply them."

"In the next ten years, the production capacity planning of each factory can be appropriately bold and one or two years ahead of schedule."

“When the auto market reaches a certain stage, we will then consider controlling production capacity.”

Cao Yang gave a very radical instruction to the executives.

Generally speaking, blindly expanding production is very irrational and detrimental to the development of enterprises.

But for the Chinese auto market, before 2015, there was really no fear of bold expansion of production.

Don’t wait until 2009, with the 4 trillion yuan incentive, consumers who want to buy a car can’t even wait for one.

That would be a pity.

"In 2005, I hope that the group's turnover will exceed 600 billion yuan, challenge 100 billion US dollars, and strive to enter the world's top 500 companies in the next three years."

Cao Yang set a goal that was not particularly exaggerated.

After all, this year's turnover has exceeded 500 billion yuan, and the growth rate in 2005 can be said to be the lowest in the past few years.

Of course, there are also reasons for the lack of strong growth projects in 2005.

In 2005, Xingchen Automobile was basically in a cash-burning stage.

If you want to contribute to turnover, you have to wait until next year.

"Mr. Cao, the 2000 acres of land newly acquired in the district next to the third phase of our Nanshan Industrial Park have now completed the relevant procedures and have begun to enter the land leveling stage."

"Can we use this land in advance next year? After reserving the land for Xingchen Automobile's new factory, other supporting parts factories can be built first."

"It just so happens that our 8AT automatic transmission factory can be built directly there."

Ji Hua stood up first and put forward his own suggestions.

Nanshan Gearbox contributed the most revenue to the company last year, and he was quite confident in his words.

I chose Nanshan at the beginning, and now it seems that it was the most correct choice in my life.

"The 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine production line can also be built on that land."

"And I think in addition to the 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine, we can directly produce a large-displacement 6.0TW12 twin-turbocharged engine based on this engine."

Since Cao Yang has already said that future plans can be bolder, Cheng Tao is naturally not willing to lag behind.

Obviously the engine is also a core component that is not inferior to the gearbox, but the turnover of Nanshan Engine last year was significantly lower than that of Nanshan Gearbox.

And there is no possibility of transcendence in the short term.

In this way, Cheng Tao naturally wanted to find new ways to increase the influence of Nanshan Engine.

"6.0TW12 twin-turbocharged engine?"

Cao Yang froze for a moment.

Cheng Tao really dared to think.

I had never planned to produce an engine with such a large displacement before.

After all, this is not the way forward.

But it doesn’t seem impossible?

"The W12 engine is an engine first developed by Volkswagen. It uses a dual V6 engine structure, that is, two V6 engines are connected together through a crankshaft to form a W-shaped structure."

"This structure can make the engine more compact and improve the engine's power and torque output."

"Our 3.0T twin-turbocharger is a V6 structure, and its performance is slightly better than Volkswagen's 3.0T."

"So we can definitely develop the W12 engine in the same way and use it in other models of Xingchen Motors in the future."

"For example, sports cars or full-size SUV models, powered by W12 engines, are definitely worthy of our high-end positioning."

Cheng Tao felt that everyone didn't understand the W12 engine very well, so he added a little explanation.

"Mr. Cheng's proposal is not impossible."

"And by building on existing engines, there will be a lot less problems to overcome."

"Currently, both Bentley and Lamborghini should be equipped with W12 engines."

As the vice president of research and development of Xingchen Automobile, Rao Yongxiang naturally looks forward to more and more new models from the company.

If Cao Yang wants Xingchen Auto to take a high-end route, it will be necessary to build a sports car in the future.

"We can even modify the Star 1 by then, install a W12 engine, and go to the New Nordschleife to brush up on the results. Maybe we can even break the record."

Obviously, everyone is very interested in Cheng Tao's proposal.

If we were to build a W12 engine from scratch, few people would agree.

Because this is obviously a business where input and output are not equal.

But now there is an extremely excellent 3.0TV6 engine. Referring to the design logic of Volkswagen W12 and putting two 3.0TV6 engines together, the difficulty is reduced a lot.

Nanshan Engine has made a lot of engine modifications in the past year, and the 1.0T and 2.0T have basically been completed.

In this way, everyone is more confident about the W12 modification.

"As a representative of high-performance vehicles, the 12-cylinder engine has always been one of the important development directions of the automotive industry."

"Everyone wants to develop a 12-cylinder engine belonging to Xingchen Motors, and I support it."

"However, W12 and V12 engines are both representative products of 12-cylinder engines. They both have excellent performance and driving experience."

"Which direction should we choose? Do we need to think carefully about it?"

For Cao Yang, whether it is W12 or V12, the technical threshold is the same.

After all, he has a way to create excellent W20 and V12 engines that will be more than ten to twenty years later.

So you have to figure out which one to do.

"The W12 engine adopts a dual V6 engine structure, while the V12 engine adopts a V-shaped structure. Because the W12 engine adopts a W-shaped structure, its engine is more compact, which can improve the vehicle's handling performance and stability."

"But in terms of ride comfort, the W12 is not as good as the V12."

"The V12 engine can be said to be one of the smoothest engines on the market because its ignition interval is 60 degrees, which is equivalent to one cylinder igniting every 60 degrees of crankshaft rotation. It is a combination of the smoother L6 engine, so The output of the V12 engine is extremely smooth.”

"Of course, it also has disadvantages, which are high cost, large size, excessive number of parts and heavy weight."

"But for high-end models, this is actually not a disadvantage, because those equipped with V12 engines are either sports cars, high-end sedans, or large-sized SUVs, which are very large in size."

"In this case, it doesn't matter if the engine compartment is wider, and the price of the model can support the high cost of the V12."

"From the current W12 and V12 products of other companies, the power performance of W12 will be a little worse than V12, but the fuel economy will be better."

"Because W12 generally uses a turbocharged engine, and V12 mostly uses naturally aspirated engines."

"In addition, the V12 engine can produce a very harmonious and elegant sound due to the uniformity of its ignition intervals, while the W12 engine's sound will be rough and intense due to the uneven ignition intervals."

"So V12 is very suitable for use in high-end executive cars such as the Mercedes-Benz S600, and I think W12 is more suitable for use in large-size SUV models."

Although Cheng Tao proposed the W12 engine temporarily, as a veteran of engine production and design, he has conducted relatively in-depth research on the world's mainstream large-displacement engines.

After all, there are very few car lovers who can resist the abundant power brought by a large-displacement engine.

"According to your statement, V12 and W12 engines actually have their own advantages."

"But if you want to lap New York or build a sports car with top-notch acceleration performance, is V12 more suitable?"

From Cheng Tao's analysis, Cao Yang came to such a conclusion.

"Mr. Cao, it's okay for you to say so."

"V12 engines and W12 engines are both very excellent top-level engines. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. There is no absolute good or bad."

"If you are pursuing the ultimate smoothness and sound, then the V12 engine may be more suitable; if you are pursuing compact space and flexible layout, then the W12 engine may be more suitable."

"I proposed to develop the W12 engine because for us, the research and development threshold of W12 is lower."

When Cheng Tao saw that Cao Yang seemed to agree to build a 12-cylinder engine, he was very excited and his tone of voice was trembling.

12-cylinder engine!

If Nanshan Engine can get it out, it will be good.

Then it is definitely the first-class engine factory in China, and even the first-class engine factory in the world.

At that time, it will definitely be able to indirectly promote the sales of engines with other displacements.

"Mr. Cao, how about we start the research and development of the W12 engine this year, and if there is demand later, we can develop the V12?"

Rao Yongxiang felt Cao Yang's interest in V12, so he flexibly adjusted his statement just now.

It’s not that we won’t develop V12, we’ll just do it later.

"Okay, let's get the W12 engine out this year first, then install it into Xingchen 1 and let it refresh the data."

"At that time, we can also launch a performance version on top of the existing two versions of the model. Maybe some consumers will like it."

Cao Yang didn't struggle so much.

Since everyone thinks that W12 is more appropriate, let’s start with W12.

Anyway, as long as W12 is developed, it will basically be able to meet the needs of Xingchen Automobile in the next few years.

"Mr. Cao, most of the initial design drawings of our Star 1 have been completed. When the production of each sample begins, the research institute will be able to free up some time to do other things."

"Can we plan in advance what the second model of Xingchen Motors should be?"

Luo Hongxing is now the vice president of production of Xingchen Automobile, so he naturally hopes to have more models to increase production.

Otherwise, the planned number of 1 units of Star 1 would be completely insufficient.

"Preliminary market research and car company positioning can indeed be carried out in advance. When the time is right, the design of new models can be launched in a timely manner."

Naturally, Yao Yongxiang had no objection to Luo Hongxing's proposal.

It’s not like we start designing now, we just do some preliminary planning.

When the engineers at the institute are not so busy in the second half of the year, they can propose the official launch of the new model.

"Xingchen Motors will definitely produce a sports car and an SUV in the future."

"We can indeed start researching exactly what kind of sports car and what kind of SUV will be produced."

Although Cao Yang already has a clear plan for Xingchen Automobile.

There are even some ideas for the reference objects of each car model.

But in the future, if Nanshan Group's automobile business wants to develop and expand, it is naturally impossible to rely entirely on itself.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing for the company to slowly cultivate its own R&D team and let everyone think about how to develop a new model from scratch.

So he set the general direction as the tide went, but left the specific research work to the people below.

At that time, I only need to choose a car model that is destined to be popular based on everyone's research results.

"To make the group's automobile industry bigger and stronger, it is certainly necessary to develop more new models, but I think it is also worth investing more resources in the equipment field."

"Our various machine tools have made many breakthroughs one after another."

"Especially the various grinders, CNC machine tools and other machine tools used in Nanshan Mold Factory, [-]% of which are provided by Nanshan Equipment."

"Next step, I think we can focus on bringing these machine tools to the market and compete with international machine tool giants."

"Although Nanshan Equipment's turnover last year was not particularly outstanding, I think the equipment industry has done well and there is a complete chance of achieving an output value of 100 billion a year."

"It is not impossible that one day in the future, the annual output value of our Nanshan equipment will reach 200 billion."

Pan Jinxing watched his old classmate Ji Hua become more and more prosperous in the past two years, and felt a little aggrieved.

Nanshan equipment can be regarded as one of the important pillars of Nanshan Group when it started.

But up to now, it has lagged far behind Nanshan gearbox and Nanshan special steel.

Even Nanshan Engine and Nanshan Auto Parts are better than it.

This is different from Pan Jinxing's expectation.

"What Mr. Pan said makes sense. The equipment industry has great potential, and there is still a very broad space waiting for us to explore."

"Whether it is various machine tools or other equipment, they are actually worthy of our in-depth study."

"Just like the thermoforming factory currently invested by Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, in addition to acquiring the press, we have also made breakthroughs in the production technology of heating furnaces."

"Is it possible to make breakthroughs in laser cutting equipment next?"

"In addition, last year, the group made the semiconductor industry a key research and development direction in the future."

"In semiconductor production plants, there are many special equipment involved, and I think they are all worthy of being developed by Nanshan Equipment."

Cao Yang could naturally feel Pan Jinxing's loss.

In addition, the equipment industry is indeed an area that he attaches great importance to, so he immediately stood up and expressed his support.

"Yes, in fact, compared to other industries, China is actually the weakest in the equipment industry."

"For example, if other countries can produce cars, we can too. It's just that the technology and quality are a little different."

"But in the field of equipment, there are some niche equipment, and we haven't even solved the problem of whether they are available or not."

"In the field of high-end equipment, we rely heavily on imports."

"If our group can make a big breakthrough in this area, it will be good no matter what industry we are in in the country in the future."

Pan Jinxing felt Cao Yang's support for him, and he felt more confident.

"The next step for Nanshan Equipment can be to build a large-scale machine tool factory to produce a variety of machine tools."

"At the same time, I think there will definitely be more and more thermoforming production lines in China in the future."

"So laser cutting equipment can also be focused on, and a dedicated laser cutting equipment factory will be built in the future."

"Other equipment related to the production of electronic and electrical appliances is definitely a rising industry, and a factory can be built specifically to produce machines in this area."

Following Pan Jinxing's words, Cao Yang planned three major development directions for Nanshan Equipment.

As long as it does well enough, he believes that Nanshan Equipment's annual turnover can reach 500 billion in ten years.

"President Cao, don't worry!"

"I will immediately organize staff to formulate a specific development plan when I get back, and strive to gradually implement it starting this year."

"After the Spring Festival, we will first make some big moves in the field of machine tools, so that manufacturers such as Okuma Machine Tools and Mazak can feel the pressure we bring."

Seeing that the scene turned into speeches by himself and Cao Yang, Pan Jinxing also realized that it was not appropriate to continue to discuss the development of Nanshan equipment in depth at this kind of meeting.

But he was very satisfied with being able to achieve his current goal.

"The next ten years for China will definitely be a decade of miracles."

“Many things that we never dared to think about will slowly come true.”

"I hope that all departments and companies in the group can keep up with this pace of development and not be left behind!"

Cao Yang glanced around at the senior executives present.

After years of accumulation, the talent team of Nanshan Group has finally been improved.

Although there is still a lack of some world-famous high-end talents, it is enough for the current Nanshan Group.

In other words, for Cao Yang, such a tool man is enough at this stage.

It’s a new month again, veterans, support me with monthly votes.
