C912 Introducing Public Projects
At the same time, along with the prosperity of the people in the country, those people who became rich first definitely had the demand for cars. In this way, how to develop a car was an urgent matter.
If one looked at the history after that, it would have gone through three stages of development, and the first stage would be the nurturing stage.
From 1978 to 1984. As the economic aspect of the city began to undergo reforms, the directive plan for the automotive products fell from 90% to 50 in 1980. In the past, he needed to report to the higher-ups for cars, but now he could buy cars if he wanted to. However, it was not even half of the original plan.
The second was the birth stage. Since 1985, the functions of the automotive market system had been expanding day by day. It had gradually replaced the traditional circulation system, and the market mechanism had begun to lead the automotive market. The automotive market was fully formed.
Later on, it entered a rapid growth phase, and the automotive industry became the backbone of the national economy. At the same time, a large number of private automotive companies appeared, supporting half of the domestic automotive industry.
And now, it was still the most difficult stage of development. At this stage, the commercial vehicles had already walked out, but it was still difficult to travel by car.
"After many discussions, we feel that the cooperation with the people of Hans Country is the most reliable." After Qin Guan joined in, the next person under him spoke.
"The western technologies are all very advanced, but there are not many companies willing to give these advanced technologies to us. For example, in R Country, they only sell products and never provide us with the technology." The man continued, "Moreover, we also lack funds. We have already talked about the General Company of Hans Country. They are willing to provide the latest technology and invest in establishing a joint venture company with us. We will manufacture the latest cars together "
Hearing this, Qin Guan knew who this person was.
Santana's father, Director Jiang of the Hua Ting's Motor and Electricity Bureau.
Director Jiang had been working very hard. At the end of 1978, the prologue of the economic reformation in Han Country officially started. That year, in November, the Supreme Commander agreed to implement the car project in Hua Ting as a joint venture.
In the past two years, they had been negotiating all over the world, hoping to introduce the advanced car technology in the world to manufacture first-class cars.
However, this process was destined to be arduous.
The automotive technology in R Country was advanced. Many of the cars they produced were sold to Y Country. However, the R Automobile company advocated "only selling goods, not selling technology." These were obviously not negotiable.
They searched around the world and finally found the public. Only the public cars could satisfy their needs.
Now, it was a seminar. These introducing projects had to be approved by the superiors. In between, they did not know how many meetings they had to hold.
"We have already negotiated with Volkswagen several times. Now, Volkswagen is willing to export their most advanced version B2 car technology to us. We will assemble it in China." Chief Jiang continued.
Volkswagen was very sincere. Not only was it willing to provide funds and technology, but it was also not stingy to export the most advanced version directly.
In November 1980, the second generation of Passat B2 was launched in the Y Country market. Originally, the name DASHER was changed to QUAN TUM / SANTA. It was not until late 1980s that the VW officially used the name Passat Passat Passat in the global market.
This generation's car factory's internal code was TYP32B. The size of the Passat B2 became bigger and the technology was more advanced. In September 1981, the PASSAT series launched the standard four-door five-car model. Its name was Santana.
That was the name of Santana in the future.
The Volkswagen Company was sincere because they saw the huge market in Han Country. They set up a joint venture company. The Volkswagen Company would invest half of its funds and also get half of the profits.
"Now, because our factory's technology is backward, we decided to use the CDK method to introduce the company."
Currently, the domestic cars were still in the undeveloped stage. Many of them relied on manual hammering to produce a new car. So, to produce the world's advanced Santana, it could only be imported parts, then assembled together. This is the CKD.
Even so, when Han Country started assembling, it actually took them a week. At that time, they were all surprised.
After hearing Director Jiang's report, Qin Guan started shaking his head helplessly.
Is everyone okay?
Of course, in the future, many people were firm fans of the public. It was from Santana in the beginning, the never-ending Chery at that time. It made them realize the power of mass brands. It made them feel like they were manufacturing their own cars. That was the synonym for outdated cars, people who drove 50,000-60,000 ESP... They felt that they had more face than the people who drove over 100,000 domestic cars.
Even when there was a deceleration and the axis were broken, the faith remained the same.
These were all secondary, because Santana had already established an impression on the people of China. More importantly, what benefits did the domestic automotive industry get from the joint venture of the Volkswagen?
There was nothing.
If one had to say that there was something, it would be a large number of skilled technical workers. No matter how many Volkswagen cars were produced, it was a joint venture. Without the approval of the Volkswagen, even an outdated engine could not be used.
The Volkswagen Company was constantly making money, but they would not export any car technologies to Han Country. This plan was very clever.
If Han Country could manufacture their own cars, then their profits would decrease! They were constantly exporting new models of cars, making the Volkswagen Automaton Factory in the Han Country become an agent factory. The domestic auto market was monopolized by the public.
The public made money, and the domestic automotive factory also made money. However, they didn't even touch the technology.
If it wasn't for the development of some private automotive factories, then the automotive industry in Han Country... It would be totally a processing plant. On the contrary, it was the R Country that became more open. The first cars produced by the private enterprises in Han Country. They obtained Mitsubishi engines and passed the first difficult phase.
Who had ever seen a domestic car equipped with a Volkswagen engine? The Hans was very astute.
The galloping car produced by the First Automobile Factory came from the Mazda of R Country. It had nothing to do with the Volkswagen. The glory and glory produced by the Volkswagen of Hua Ting came from Luo Fu, so it had nothing to do with the Volkswagen.
Thinking about the market changing technology, Qin Guan was very dissatisfied that the market had been taken over before the technology was exchanged.
Seeing Qin Guan shake his head, Section Chief immediately asked, "President Qin, do you have any opinions on this project?"
At this moment, Director Jiang's report had just ended.
"I want to know, what happened after we introduced this Volkswagen car?" Qin Guan asked.
