The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Electric technology is not only used in the field of motorcycles, but also in the field of automobiles.

Huaxia Automobile Group launched two models at the Shanghai Auto Show, one is a pure electric car and the other is a hybrid car.

Pure electric cars use lithium batteries and electric motors, with a range of 500 kilometers, suitable for urban use.

With oil prices high, pure electric cars have a great advantage in terms of cost of use.

After all, China's electricity is much cheaper than gasoline.

As early as two years ago, Panshan Group made a layout on charging piles and built charging piles in various cities across the country for charging needs.

Hybrid power is a hybrid drive of oil and electricity. This is to take into account people's concerns about pure electric vehicles running out of power and breaking down halfway, because hybrid power, even if the power is exhausted, the car can still drive normally with the engine, which can be more easily accepted by the market.

This hybrid power is dominated by the electric motor, and the gasoline engine is auxiliary. The engine will continuously generate electricity to provide electricity to the electric motor, and the electric motor will drive the car forward.

Moreover, the cost of hybrid power is much lower than that of pure electric vehicles.

Pure electric vehicles start at 200,000 RMB, with different configurations and prices.

Hybrid vehicles start at 150,000 RMB.

Of course, it will probably take at least 20 to 30 years, or even longer, for electric vehicles to replace fuel vehicles.

In addition to sedans, China Automobile Group has also officially launched pure electric buses and hybrid buses.

At present, China Automobile Group occupies 95% of the market in China's bus market, almost forming a monopoly.

Originally, China Automobile Group was also in a monopoly position in the sedan market. Later, with the licensing of technology and the giving up of the low-end car market, other Chinese car companies had room for development.

But even so, China Automobile Group still firmly controls the mid-range and high-end car markets.

Except for a few luxury car brands such as Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, which can occupy a place in China, the rest of the car brands can no longer make a difference in the Chinese car market.

If South Korea had not adopted a protection policy and taken restrictive measures against foreign car companies, coupled with high tariffs on imported cars, Korean car companies would have no chance of survival.

Even Japanese car companies have been retreating in the past decade, constantly losing market share.

Japan's comprehensive national strength is not as simple as losing ten years, but is actually retreating. Even if the yen appreciates against the US dollar, Japan's GDP is even lower than that in 1990.

There is a key factor here, that is, Japan has failed in many fields such as home appliances, game consoles, shipbuilding, motorcycles, and automobiles, and has been defeated by Chinese companies one after another.

Coupled with the aging population, Japan is full of confusion.

Japanese car companies have entered the Chinese market, but they ended up failing.

Liu Tao attended the Shanghai Auto Show.

Normally, meetings at his level involving science and technology, industry, computers, the Internet, etc. are basically attended by him, which also expresses the importance of the country to the meeting.

The automobile industry is not only a long industrial chain that can drive a large number of jobs, but it is also a reflection of a country's industrial strength.

China has always attached great importance to the automobile industry.

After the reform and opening up, China's automobile industry has developed very rapidly. There has been no market-for-technology exchange. At the beginning, China's automobile industry was mainly export-oriented, and exports fed back to the domestic market. Finally, China has become the world's largest automobile producer, the largest automobile consumer, and the largest automobile exporter.

In terms of the automobile industry, China is big and strong, a real automobile industry power.

China's automobile industry can develop automobiles in various segments, not only can it develop, but also can make them well.

If there is any shortcoming, it is the lack of personality and pursuit of enjoyment.

This is also the case in luxury cars. China Automobile Group cannot compare with those luxury cars in the world.

Liu Tao attended the opening ceremony of the auto show and delivered an important speech. He emphasized that to promote the high-quality development of China's automobile manufacturing industry, it is necessary to strengthen the independent research and development and manufacturing of key core technologies and key components, and it is necessary to constantly pursue innovation and excellence. The fate of the automobile industry must be firmly in hand.

Be brave to innovate and strive for excellence. This is what Liu Tao has said many times. In the manufacturing industry, being brave to innovate and striving for excellence are the key to making the manufacturing industry bigger and stronger.

In recent years, there has been a voice that emphasizes that the world is now a world of economic globalization, advocating investment and construction of factories in Mexico, South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and even advocating that mid-to-high-end manufacturing companies build factories in Europe and the United States, so that they can produce and sell locally and reduce costs.

Liu Tao has always sneered at this voice.

Investing in factories in other places, what about jobs in China?

China now has a population of more than one billion, and a large number of college and undergraduate students graduate every year, not to mention that the number of graduate students and doctoral students graduating each year has reached a new high. These people all need jobs.

There are also a large number of high school graduates, and even junior high school graduates. Don’t they need jobs?

Although China is also developing the service industry, the service industry cannot absorb so many people.

We can’t let everyone go back to the countryside to be farmers, or rely on their parents.

Therefore, Liu Tao has always insisted that the development of Chinese industry needs to give priority to meeting Chinese employment needs.

In the unnecessary papermaking industry, clothing manufacturing industry, etc., you can choose to invest in Nanyang to build factories.

The ladder of encouragement is that China is first, followed by Nanyang, then South Asia, and then the Middle East, Africa, and South America.

As for Mexico, it is naturally not recommended, because Mexico has been in turmoil since the financial crisis that year, the society is gradually out of control, and the power of warlords in Mexico is growing.

The risk is too great!

Even the United States has invested a lot of money and exerted a lot of influence, but it has not reversed the situation in Mexico.

And South America is even ranked after Africa. The most important reason is that it is too far from heaven and too close to the United States.

As for such an important industry as the automobile industry, it is natural to stay in China as much as possible. Overseas, more 4S stores are opened to cooperate with locals to provide maintenance and repair.

The same situation also occurs in the shipbuilding industry, motorcycle manufacturing, mobile phone manufacturing, computer manufacturing and other fields.

Even in Nanyang, Panshan Group has not invested in building large shipyards, which means that Nanyang shipyards have mainly built small and medium-sized ships and repaired ships so far.

Liu Tao naturally knows about that kind of voice, because those who advocate this kind of voice are often the same group of people who advocate that China should buy US bonds, and their intentions are self-evident.

When it comes to a certain time, these people will become consumables. (End of this chapter)
