Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"German Volkswagen Group and Shanghai Auto have signed a new agreement, and Shanghai Volkswagen Group's shares have changed..."

After the signing of the agreement, Huaxia announced the news.

For Huaxia, this is also a major investment attraction. Germany's Volkswagen Group is also a giant in the global automotive industry.

Now that Volkswagen Group and Shanghai Auto Group have formed a new cooperation, it is indeed worth promoting.

After the announcement of this news, many foreign car companies also conducted careful investigations.

In Germany, Volkswagen Group also announced the news. And announced the strength of Shanghai Volkswagen. With Shanghai Volkswagen, Volkswagen Group's production will be restored immediately.

The first batch of models produced in China will be shipped to Europe soon. At the same time, Volkswagen of Germany also stated that the quality of cars produced in China will be strictly controlled.

Stimulated by this news, Volkswagen's stock, which was almost about to fall to the bottom, rebounded directly and rose a lot. This made Volkswagen Group feel relieved. It seems that this move was right.

Although choosing China for production seems to be just an emergency method. However, at present, Volkswagen Group is very optimistic about this cooperation.

The reason is very simple. Their finance department has made detailed calculations.

In the end, it was found that the comprehensive cost of producing the same car in China is six percentage points lower than that in Germany.

This is still a common Volkswagen model. If it is a model with higher electronic configuration, the comprehensive cost will be lower. Because these things are much cheaper in China than in Germany.

For example, on-board computers, car chips, LCD screens used in cars, and various electronic components are very cheap in China and very expensive in Germany.

Take Porsche models as an example. If Porsche models are produced in China, the comprehensive cost will be a full eight percentage points lower than the comprehensive cost of production in Germany.

For a car, it is quite terrible to reduce the production cost so much.

So now, the Volkswagen Group is looking forward to it. With lower costs, they can make more profits. And there is more premium space, which makes sales better.

"In fact, if we purchase engines and gearboxes directly in China, the cost can be reduced even more. I think we can discuss it in detail with China. For consumers, as long as the performance of the engine and gearbox is good enough, no one will care about the brand. What's more, we are always cheated by ZF on gearboxes..."

A senior executive said directly in the conference room.

Volkswagen actually does not have many patents and technologies on gearboxes. They also purchase gearboxes from ZF, but they are in a competitive relationship with BMW.

Original time and space Li, why did Volkswagen develop the dual-clutch gearbox that people complained about? It's because the gearbox was stuck and was cheated too many times.

And now, there is a better choice in China.

Huasheng Group produces gearboxes and engines, and the performance is very good and can be customized. If Volkswagen Group purchases engines and gearboxes directly in China, the production cost can be reduced.

"I think we can give it a try. Since the whole vehicle is produced in China, the gearbox and engine can also be produced in China. However, we cannot give up on technology. I think we can use our own engines for Porsche and Audi brands, and we can try to use Chinese engines for Volkswagen brands..."

In the conference room, everyone discussed.

This cooperation with Modu Auto is like opening Pandora's box and discovering a new world for Volkswagen.

China is like a treasure house. The industrial chain is quite complete, the price is cheap, the workers' wages are low, and the production efficiency is high.

At the same time, China's shipping is also very developed. There are many shipping companies in China now. The shipping capacity of China's entire shipping accounts for one-third of the global shipping capacity, and this proportion is still increasing.

When they came to China, these industrial companies found that it was very convenient to do business in China. Especially for giants like Volkswagen, it is very cost-effective to build factories in China.

Time passed little by little, and time unknowingly came to September.

The flood that swept across China has finally passed. Compared with the original time and space, the losses caused by this flood are even negligible.

Although the losses are not large, the Chinese people know how difficult this war without gunpowder is. In some places, it rained for more than a month.

Many people also fought on the front line and persisted for more than a month.

But everything is worth it. After the disaster, it is sunny again for China.

In Europe, many people have also seen the peacefulSignal. The Kosovo War entered a strange state in July.

Yugoslavia's small motorcycles rarely fired, and Yugoslavia began to seek negotiations. Europe also wanted to stop, and Russia also stepped forward to mediate. In the past two months, the United Nations also proposed various ceasefire plans, but none of them were passed in the end.

Either Yugoslavia disagreed, or NATO disagreed.

On the NATO side, it was mainly the United States that disagreed. The United States's actions made European countries curse directly, and this was clearly a trap for Europe.

So during this period, many people in Europe stood up to accuse the United States. Public opinion on the Internet was even more turbulent. But the United States pretended not to see it, and the United States is now cutting leeks very happily.

It cut a wave in Asia and a wave in Europe. Russia did not escape, and was also severely cut by the United States.

Japan and South Korea did not escape either. The United States directly cut back its economy in this wave. In the past few months, the US stock market has skyrocketed, and the stock prices of many companies have created new highs.

This situation made Clinton very happy. The domestic economy was booming, the country had money, and some policies could be implemented.

Once the policies were implemented, public opinion would be high, which was very important to Clinton and the Democratic Party. So at this time, how could they bear to end the Kosovo War?

Not only could they not end it, they had to let the fire of the Kosovo War start.

On September 16, 1998, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia secretly took action under the cover of night.

Milosevic was also a ruthless person. He didn't even think about negotiating with NATO. The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was bombed to pieces by NATO, and so many people died. You want to negotiate after the war, which is a dream.

You can decide when the war starts, but you can't decide when the war ends. Anyway, the European bombing made Milosevic's reputation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia very high, and the people supported him very much.

In addition, with the support of the United States behind the scenes, in the past two months, the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has been reduced a lot, and various materials have been transported in large quantities, and the war potential of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has increased a lot.

And the United States feels that now is the time to keep the fire burning!
