The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 457

Chapter 457: The automobile industry is about to be reshuffled

Until the end of the entire assembly roll-off ceremony, Secretary Liu's mind was still echoing what Lin Haijun said before.

“It costs millions of dollars to import a tractor like that…”

It was hard for him to imagine why that kind of ordinary-looking car could be sold for such a high price, but it was reasonable and the other party could not help him on this issue.

Therefore, after the celebration banquet at noon, he was a little drunk and went to find Lin Haijun before getting in the car and leaving:

“Old Lin, why is it so expensive to import a car like the one you mentioned this morning? It costs millions of dollars to import?”

 The latter actually drank less than Secretary Liu, but he couldn't drink enough and was already a little unable to stand at this time.

But to answer this kind of question, you don't need to be sober:

“Although this car is not big, its technical content is not low...One is...it requires a particularly large torque to tow those...large aircraft weighing tens or hundreds of tons."

Lin Haijun's pronunciation is not very clear, but fortunately he can still be understood:

“Furthermore, the driving of the vehicle must be guaranteed to be stable. The precision of the chassis, wheels, etc. is very high. In addition, in order to avoid vibration of the engine, electricity and hydraulic equipment are generally used, which is also a big problem..."

 After talking about a few questions intermittently, he paused slightly.

Just when Secretary Liu thought the other party had finished speaking, Lin Haijun suddenly continued:

“Actually...actually these are not important. This car shouldn't be so expensive in the first place, and...it's not because we can't build it that they dare...dare to ask for such a high price..."

This is exactly what the former wanted to ask next:

“Well, Lao Lin, do you think that with our technical level, it is impossible to build this car? Even if we use some imported parts?”

"Parts with that level of precision are all sealed to us abroad. Not to mention imported ones for assembly. Even if the tractor we buy breaks down, it has to be repaired by someone from their manufacturer. We are not allowed to be exposed to the maintenance process at all, especially the Germans. As for Goethehof's car, my friend who works on the ground at the airport said that it costs hundreds of thousands to repair a wheel..."

 Half-drunk and half-awake, Lin Haijun took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction.

Although Secretary Liu next to him also felt that the foreigner was a bit bullying, he was about to return to the provincial capital for a meeting. He really had no time to continue listening to these contents. He saw that the other party's topic became more and more crooked, so he had to interrupt:

“Well, Lao Lin, you haven't said yet whether it's possible for us to build it ourselves. There is also a special vehicle factory under the Aerospace Corporation of China in our province. Can you try it and see if we can build airplanes and rockets...”

 In this era, the military-industrial system itself was a small society. Although the barriers between it and the local areas were weaker than before, they were still quite obvious.

This is why the higher authorities are eager to carry out de-administrative and group-based reforms.

 In short, even Secretary Liu is sometimes not clear about the relationship between the head offices under the Science and Technology Commission, especially the Aerospace Industry Corporation and the Aviation Industry Corporation. It sounds like there is not much difference.

Lin Haijun did not answer the question immediately, but just showed a strange expression.

 After hesitating for a while, he said:

"It's difficult...it doesn't mean that running on the ground is necessarily easier than flying in the sky...I guess..."

He originally said that there was basically no possibility of it being developed within ten years.

But as he spoke, he saw Sun Huizhong, who had just had a round of drinks with the workers in the assembly workshop, and a young man next to him, who also seemed to have the surname Lin.

Even last year, Lin Haijun would not have dared to think that his Yunma Factory could build an aircraft that looked so advanced and modern.

Moreover, as a second-level company leader under the Aviation Industry Corporation, he has no direct subordinate relationship with Secretary Liu, but the other person is a whole level higher than him, and he is still hanging around in the other party's territory, so it is difficult to talk to him. Too direct.

 So I changed my words when I said it:

“I don't know much about the specific technology of the vehicle. I guess it will be a bit difficult in a short period of time. You'd better be cautious.”

 The original meaning of this sentence is actually to pour a basin of cold water on it.

Even if this thing can be produced in China, there is a high probability that developed regions will be the first to eat this crab. It's not like our Yunma Factory has never built cars. To put it mildly, it is called a backward product, and if it has a low EQ, it is industrial waste. As for the aerospace industry system, it has nothing to do with us. We are not a family, and I really don't know the situation, but you should still consider it...

Under normal circumstances, Secretary Liu would probably have heard the implication, but he had just spoken some heroic words at the offline ceremony, and drank some wine, which led him to directly regard Lin Haijun's words as encouragement. —     It's a bit difficult in a short time, doesn't that mean it can be done?

As for the so-called "be cautious", it means that you should do research before doing anything.

 So after getting in the car, he said directly to the secretary in the passenger seat:

“Xiao Hou, remember, when you get back, go to the Department of Machinery Industry and ask them to summarize the overall development of the national automobile industry and report to me as soon as possible.”

Although Secretary Liu didn't fully understand Lin Haijun's hint, he still had some idea of ​​what the industrial standards of his three-thirds of an acre of land were like.

Even if you really want to build special vehicles, you will definitely have to find suppliers from developed areas to cooperate and make money for assembly here. It is absolutely a fool's errand to keep the entire industry chain in the province.

 “Hey, okay, I'll do it this afternoon.”

 In fact, although the Chinese automobile industry at this time is still calm on the surface, there are already undercurrents under the water.

 It's just that this impact has not yet been fed back to the vehicle manufacturers.

 As for users, the level of perception is even lower.

Shanghai, Japan Seiko (NSK) Bearing Office in China.

Sales supervisor Qing Jingbin held a folder in his hand and knocked on the office door of the office manager Haneda Shunsuke.

“Mr. Haneda, our forecast order numbers for October and November are not quite right. They are almost the same as the same period last year.”

Among many companies responsible for the bearing business, NSK entered the Chinese market relatively early and took the Chinese market as its main direction of attack.

It has been several years since Huaxia was set up as a separate region and an office was established. Although it still bears the name of an office, it is actually at the level of a headquarters.

 It's just that NSK only has sales and after-sales business in China, so its scale is still relatively small.

"How could it be? In the first half of this year, two new brands have only built factories and put into production. All wheel bearings use our products. It stands to reason that starting from May this year, there should be at least a 3-5% growth." ”

Heda Shunsuke has been assigned here since the first day the China office was established. He speaks Mandarin better than many Chinese people, and he has climbed up the ranks from a business representative step by step. He knows these data clearly.

These days, the technology sources and cooperation methods of Huaxia Automobile Manufacturing are like eight immortals crossing the sea. Not all companies that use NSK bearings will purchase through their Huaxia office, so the impact of the two new customers is actually quite obvious.

 The two brands he mentioned are Jiangling Ford, a joint venture, and Qirui, China's independent brand.

The latter is said to be independent, but in fact it also purchased second-hand technology from Ford, so both companies also use NSK bearings.

At the current growth rate of China's automobile market, relying on these two companies, they should not worry about performance issues in the next 1-2 years.

"I took a look and found that our two major customers in the past, Bingfei Automobile, which specializes in mini-cars, and Jinling Iveco, which specializes in commercial vehicles, have significantly reduced the orders they placed with us, especially the former, who directly transferred their orders to us. The quantity has been reduced by three-quarters.”

　　Qing Jingbin put the folder in his hand on Haneda's desk.

 “Bingcheng Auto…”

 The latter opened the document and took a look:

"I have an impression of this company. It should be... Suzuki's carry, right?"

“Yes, the annual output in the past two years has been at the level of 50,000 to 60,000, and it is very popular in northern China.”

 Qing Jingbin nodded.

“That shouldn't be the case. Carry is different from Ford. We are the only one making their wheel bearings. Whether it's Daewoo from South Korea or Wanxiang from China, the imitations are useless...”

Heda Shunsuke, who felt a little troubled, lowered his head and thought for a while, but still had no clue:

“Ice City is too far away from us. Go to Jinling immediately and try to find out where they got the replacement from!”
