Chapter 195 Behind Closed Doors?

Fan Wubing still had a preference for cars, so it was natural to react a little when he heard the news.

In 1992, several domestic auto companies were basically large state-owned enterprises. As an industry with heavy administrative intervention, the development of domestic auto companies was very slow, and the focus was on some production and transportation. For the family car market Basically not considered.

Although there are old brands like Hongqi, it has to be said that ordinary people can't afford this kind of car. The fuel consumption of the model inherited from Russia is too high.

Moreover, as a status symbol, cars are not something that anyone can own in China. You can’t buy domestically produced cars if you don’t have enough grades, and you can’t handle imported ones without quotas. It’s really very difficult, but smuggled cars can It's very popular, which makes people feel very interesting.

All in all, cars can only be a luxury item owned by a small number of people in China, and ZF does not encourage such consumption.

However, the profits of automobiles are also quite lucrative. It is said that in some towns in the south, some small factories rely on manual beating of car shells and assembly of parts. As long as they can produce a few hundred cars a year, they can generate hundreds of millions The output value of RMB is really a cause that makes people feel jealous.

It’s just that as a capital-intensive and technology-intensive industry, if you want to build a family car, you can’t do it without the support of ZF. However, Fan Wubing looked at the current domestic situation, and it seems that ZF has not yet loosened the idea of ​​​​relaxing the development of the auto industry. If I want to build a car in China, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

Some things cannot be settled with money. If you want to reverse the concept in other people's minds, or want to compete with the entire auto industry, you are afraid that you will encounter unprecedented opposition. This determination may not be made immediately.

However, Fan Wubing also knew that relying solely on domestic state-owned automobile companies such as FAW and Second Automobile, the gap between the domestic automobile manufacturing industry and foreign countries will only become wider and wider. In the end, after the opening of the auto market, a huge country was reduced to a prefecture-level market for others to dump.

Thinking of the grand occasion when the streets were full of Japanese cars, Korean cars, and European and American cars, Fan Wubing felt that he had to do something, even if it was a foreign-funded brand, to advance the Chinese auto manufacturing industry. Develop it, otherwise we will have to wait until after 1997. The domestic private automobile industry can only surface, and the gap with foreign countries is too great.

Among private car companies, there are only two that Fan Wubing is most impressed with. One is naturally Chery, which produces QQ, and the other is Geely, which produces Liberty Ship and Panda. These two companies entered the automobile manufacturing industry in 1997. market, but according to some information, these two companies have actually started the development of vehicle design and manufacturing with the acquiescence of the local government before obtaining the permission of the central government.

Take Chery as an example.

As early as 1995. They spent more than twenty million dollars. Purchased a car production line from the British Ford company. And digging through the walls of major domestic auto state-owned enterprises to recruit talents. But Chery is behind. It is hiding the shadow of the local government. And it is very likely that it has received direct support from the provincial government.

Companies with this background will be able to secretly engage in vehicle manufacturing after three years. can imagine. Now if Fan Wubing wants to build cars in China. How much resistance will be encountered.

But the news provided by the Ministry of Security. It's kind of interesting. The Japanese automobile manufacturing technology is quite good. Otherwise, it would be impossible to squeeze the American automobile manufacturing companies so that there is no room for survival. Although most people mentioned Japanese cars later. Immediately think of the word inferior. But that's because of the marketing policies of Japanese car companies in mainland China. The slogan of Japanese car companies is. First-class cars can be bought in Europe and America. Second-rate cars are bought in the country. Only third-rate cars can be bought in mainland China.

Same car. The raw materials used are different. The quality will naturally vary. Therefore, those parameters above the sales manual and technical manual. Basically, it is written according to European and American standards. That kind of good performance can only be experienced on cars sold in Europe and America. As for the cars sold in mainland China. Basically, you can make do with whatever you can.

to date. Fan Wubing could still recall those after being hit. The Japanese car body is as fragile as torn paper.

The security department didn't expect Fan Wubing to be interested in it. So he said. "Now the domestic auto market in Japan has become saturated. Sales in the European and American markets have also been curbed. Therefore, the life of research institutions is very difficult. I think this matter is mostly true. It is a pity that the current domestic auto market is too small. Otherwise If it is, it is also very good to make your own car."

However, some people sneered at his statement, "Car manufacturing is something that can only be done by the state, how can private individuals do it?"

The person from the security department said unconvinced, "Which foreign car is not made by a private person?"

"That's capitalism. We are a socialist country, and the pillar industries cannot be opened to individuals." The other party immediately retorted.

What this person said is true, but the changes in China in the next few years are also unexpected by today's people. Fan Wubing felt a little emotional. Many opportunities came at this time. He now has funds, With management talents and a foreign investment status that can be pulled over at any time as a cover, it is much easier to do many things.

The automotive technology research institute in Japan still needs to be carefully investigated. If they do have a complete set of automotive research technology, they can consider bringing the entire team to the mainland. After all, a research institute is a hundred and ten The scale of people can be obtained without spending much money.

"Do you have any information to believe? I'm very interested in this. If this can be done, it will probably calm me down for a while." Fan Wubing said with a smile to the security department.

The members of the security department were immediately overjoyed, and thought that if you could stop for a while, our tasks would be greatly reduced. This idea is really good.

Several colleagues looked at the companion who made this suggestion with admiration in their eyes. Building a car is not such an easy thing. After a few years, you can’t figure it out. This time, Fan Wubing was caught. Can I get my rotation? After staying in Shanghai for a few years, he can go to Beijing and change his working environment, so who cares about Fan Wubing's fuss? Whoever you love will go!

So that person readily agreed to Fan Wubing's request, saying that he would send the detailed information to Fan Wubing later, and then they left, and when they left, they praised the daughter of Fan Wubing's company. The staff are really nice and so on.

After these people left, Xia Donghai asked suspiciously, "No disease, you really want to build a car, right?"

"Why not?" Fan Wubing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Don't talk about whether you can build a car, even if you can build a car, who will buy your car? Americans, Japanese, or Chinese?" Xia Donghai lashed out at Fan Wubing unceremoniously. "They are all auto companies that have been around for hundreds of years. How can you compete with them for the market? Even in China, can you compete with several large state-owned auto companies?"

"The problem of the market has never been my worry. When I build a family car worth 20,000 yuan, do you think sales will still be a problem?" Fan Wubing replied.

A car worth 20,000 yuan? ! Xia Donghai immediately curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid higher-end motorcycles are more expensive than this, right? Why are you so confident that you can make such a cheap car?"

Fan Wubing sighed, staring blankly at the bustling crowd outside the window, and said to Xia Donghai, "What's so difficult about making a car? Isn't it just four wheels and two rows of sand?"

"Are you confident that you can compete with the Americans and Japanese? They have the most mature automobile manufacturing industry." When Xia Donghai heard Fan Wubing say such words, he knew that the young rich man must have made up his mind. I want to be in the automobile industry, so I asked worriedly.

Fan Wubing turned around, smiled and said to Xia Donghai, "No matter what industry, as long as there are Chinese people in it, others can consider changing careers."

Xia Donghai smiled wryly when he heard the words, "Although what you said sounds morale-inspiring, it's not that simple to do it. I think you'd better think carefully about it. After all, investing in the automobile industry is a big deal." , it’s better to make some preparations.”

Fan Wubing nodded and said, "I know this, so I have to think about it alone."

Hearing this, Xia Donghai shrugged his shoulders, and walked out of Fan Wubing's room, just as Feng Ping and Chen Jingchu were about to enter the room, the two girls asked him, "President Xia, what is Wubing doing? "

"What can he do?" Xia Donghai shook his head and said, "We'll work behind closed doors!"

Behind closed doors? The two girls suddenly felt at a loss, what does this mean?
