Because it led the price-cutting frenzy, Toyota can be regarded as standing on the cusp of this frenzy at the moment. Although it was once criticized as malicious competition, because the Chinese government has not provided mandatory intervention, Toyota has enjoyed a short period of time.
The sweetness of preemptive strike.
Price cuts across the board have led to a surge in sales of Toyota's entire range of products. Other brands that were slower than Toyota to cut prices were not as lucky as Toyota. Although they also had breakthroughs in sales, they were not as good as the Toyota Group, the initiator of this incident.
The profit is greater.
International public opinion has also expressed doubts about why overseas joint ventures cut prices so directly without any pressure from the government. Some international media even speculated that if this price reduction lasts for more than six months, if China has not yet issued an official solution.
, then China’s domestic automobile brands will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Just when Toyota was proud and the whole world was confused, Dongchen, together with several state-owned automobile brands, issued a statement that shocked the entire industry.
The content of the statement is: "Since the date of this statement, Dongchen has jointly established an automobile manufacturer alliance called the 'Huahe Alliance' with five state-owned brands: FAW, Second Automobile, China Shipping Motors, Yanjing Automobile and Northern Motor.
, in the alliance, except Dongchen, other member companies will use 70% of their production capacity to cooperate with Dongchen to produce several models of Dongchen Automobile, and the member companies' own products will uniformly adopt Dongchen technology.
The entire line will be replaced with the latest engines provided by Dongchen in advance. The transmission system will also have the opportunity to be replaced with Dongchen technology."
In addition, Dongchen also announced that from now on, Dongchen's s1 and s2 models will be produced in cooperation with BAIC, China Shipping Motors and Yanjing Automobile; the s3 model will be produced in cooperation with FAW and China Second Automobile Works, and the s3c will be produced with
The upcoming S4 is still produced by Dongchen itself. As for the C series SUV models, except for the c3c, the c1, c2 and c3 are all produced in cooperation with Dongfeng and BAIC. The c3c is produced by Dongchen itself.
A rough calculation shows that after the cooperation is officially launched, the comprehensive monthly output of Dongchen Automobile's various models is expected to exceed 300,000 units. After the completion of Dongchen's industrial base in Jiangcheng, the monthly output is expected to exceed 500,000 units, which is the annual output.
More than six million units.
This news is extremely explosive for both consumers and other automobile manufacturing companies. Through the newly established Huahe Alliance, Dongchen has increased its production capacity six times overnight. It originally cut prices.
They wanted to compress Dongchen's market space to the extreme first. But what they didn't expect was that this move actually forced Dongchen to adopt an alliance strategy. His original lack of production capacity was now made up for by several state-owned enterprises.
As a result, the advantage they had just established at the expense of profits was lost in an instant.
This also made Toyota and others suddenly realize why the state has not taken action to regulate or even forcefully prevent price cuts. It turns out that the state is considering such a solution. This solution is not unwise. If they forcibly prohibit the price cuts of foreign companies,
First of all, they will be rejected by the people. It is difficult to cope with the huge domestic pressure. What's more, the mandatory prohibition of price cuts and the protection of domestic brands will also make consumers resist, and it is impossible to fundamentally help domestic brands.
However, now so many state-owned enterprises have begun to cooperate with Dongchen and adopt Dongchen technology, they can not only make a strong response to the price cuts of foreign companies, but also improve the competitiveness of state-owned brands, and will not cause national rejection, or even to a large extent.
This move will greatly enhance people’s recognition of domestic brands and achieve multiple goals with one stone!
Dongchen's output has increased sharply, which has excited consumers. Even if foreign brands have significantly reduced prices, it has not fundamentally changed consumers' expectations for Dongchen cars. In the past, they could not choose Dongchen, not because Dongchen did not lower prices, but because Dongchen did not lower prices.
This is because Dongchen has never had enough existing cars to supply the market, but now it seems that in the near future, even a month or two later, a large number of Dongchen cars will flood into the market. From Dongchen's technical strength and cost-effectiveness, technology
In terms of content, as long as Dongchen has enough existing cars to supply the market, consumers' choice priority will still be left to Dongchen Auto.
Zhang Wenhao became extremely busy at this time. He began to license the body technology of s1, s2, and s3 to various companies in the alliance, and then began to supervise the production progress of each company. FAW's manufacturing strength can be regarded as the strongest among these brands.
One of them, their Pentium production line was reorganized as quickly as possible. Using the technical information provided by Dongchen, they started producing S2 and S3 body, chassis and suspension components as soon as possible. As for seats, interiors, airbags, etc.
All auxiliary components, such as the power system and transmission system, are all purchased through unified procurement. In this way, Dongchen only needs to transport the power system, transmission system and other components to FAW in advance, and then it can directly complete the final assembly on FAW's production line.
Only fifteen days later, the first S2 model produced by FAW Dongchen rolled off the production line, and a series of tests proved that there is no technical gap between the S2 produced by FAW and Dongchen.
Immediately, this car went through the reservation sequence of Dongchen dealers across the country and was delivered to a reservation user from Anhui.
The Dongfeng and BAIC production lines, which took the lead in cooperating with Dongchen, have also successfully produced three models of the C-series 1, 2, and 3. The price of the C1 is set at 20.3 million. The main competitors are Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CRV, Toyota rav4, and Subaru.
XV, Forester and other SUV models of the same price range; the price of C2 is positioned at 30.55 million to compete with Audi q5, BMW x3, Land Rover Freelander, Infiniti ex, Toyota Highlander and other models. As for the C3, the price is positioned at 60,100
million, because of its excellent comprehensiveness, the starting price of C3C starts from 1.5 million and goes up to 2.4 million, which is more than the Cayenne, Range Rover and the like.
The 3.0 twin-turbocharged version of the c3c that participated in the topgear test, after enhancing the interior and luxury auxiliary functions, the final version sold for 2.4 million. Even though the price of the c3c is so high, the market response is still extremely hot,'
The word "Jijijing" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. A large number of high-end consumers are waiting for it, and the number of reservations nationwide has exceeded 20,000. It is higher than the annual sales volume of the entire Cayenne series.
Dongchen Automobile has formed an unstoppable situation in the Chinese market.
...
Just when one after another production lines were completing final assembly and officially rolling off the assembly line, Zhang Wenhao ushered in two major events.
First of all, the high-power diesel engine production line in Zhangjiakou has been completed in a surprise move. This is also the result of the country's investment in manpower and material resources at no cost. The production equipment has been installed and debugged, and Dongchen has also secretly accepted it. The next step is to directly enter
production link.
Secondly, Xiaoer’s special steel alloy has completed a thousand hours of high-temperature environmental testing. Under unnatural high temperatures exceeding 60 degrees, metal fatigue seems to explode in an instant. The originally extremely strong steel alloy
, the strength drops to almost the same as ordinary cast iron in an instant, completely unable to meet the most common industrial needs.
Director Liu conveyed the senior management's recognition of this special material, and told Zhang Wenhao that the time could be reduced to about 700 hours. Normal testing would not be able to reach this standard, and there would be no flaws in 700 hours. As for the rest,
The state will not give any interference in matters, and Dongchen will make the decision himself.
What this means is, of course, something went wrong, and it has nothing to do with the country. This kind of digging holes and stumbling blocks is really not suitable to be linked to the country. Zhang Wenhao operates it alone. If something goes wrong, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can only
It's a mistake to be dumb.
After receiving the approval, Zhang Wenhao immediately contacted Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. He first told Mitsubishi Heavy Industries by email that the operation of exporting this new material was very difficult, and it would be difficult for Dongchen to complete such a large-scale export without being noticed.
There are too many links to unblock. If you insist on doing it, the price needs to be raised to one million per ton. Otherwise, Dongchen can only apologize to Mitsubishi.
Zhang Wenhao's price increase made Mitsubishi both happy and angry. The happy thing was that as long as Dongchen raised the price, it proved that this matter was feasible. He was angry, but he was only angry that Dongchen had raised the price because he wanted to give Mitsubishi a big discount.
One stroke.
However, Mitsubishi does not value this money at all. Compared with the application range and special effects of this material in national defense technology, Mitsubishi can completely accept the higher price. Anyway, the money will be paid by the Japanese government in the end, and they
There will also be opportunities to earn more profits from it. Therefore, Mitsubishi quickly made it clear that the price of one million was acceptable, but they needed to start operations as soon as possible. However, considering the cost issue, Mitsubishi could not proceed as originally planned.
The initial purchase quantity of 100,000 tons is reduced from 100,000 tons to 10,000 tons.
The price of one million is 100,000 tons, which is 100 billion yuan. Zhang Wenhao doesn't think that Mitsubishi can spend so much cash at once to trade with him. If the purchase volume is reduced to 10,000 tons, he has nothing.
In my opinion, if there are too many exports, it will be easy for Mitsubishi to seize the loopholes.
Even if the special material has only a thousand hours of use, if Mitsubishi has extra materials on hand, they can still replace them. After all, within this thousand hours of use, this special material is still very useful.
There is a place for it. In this way, even if Mitsubishi finds a problem, they can use excess materials to complete the replacement. However, with an amount of 10,000 tons, Mitsubishi will definitely not be able to leave any surplus for itself. When they find a problem
After that, there won't be any replacement materials on hand.
Zhang Wenhao agreed to Mitsubishi's request and first transported one ton of special materials to Japan through smuggling and delivered it to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for testing. The two parties agreed that Dongchen would prepare a shell company in China from now on. Once the materials are ready,
, both parties will use their respective shell subsidiaries to come forward for the transaction, and in this transaction, Dongchen and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will not enter into any substantive contracts or commitments. After the transaction is completed, the two parties will no longer have any relationship with each other, and will no longer bear each other's obligations.
any related responsibilities.
This agreement is very beneficial to Mitsubishi, and they do not want to be involved in political disputes. Therefore, if the two parties really conduct transactions in this secretive way and do not carry out any form of investigation and responsibility afterwards,
For them, they just want to buy things and don't want to worry about anything else, so they naturally agree with this agreement.
Zhongchen Materials also started working overtime to produce 10,000 tons of special new materials. The delivery time agreed between Zhang Wenhao and Mitsubishi was twenty days. Zhongchen used one thousand tons of productivity every day to produce new materials. After ten days, these
The new material will be mixed in with the hot-rolled steel, concealed from everyone, and shipped to Japan in a no-nonsense manner.
In fact, the customs process is very easy to operate. Even the customs itself does not know what this new material is. The government only made an agreement with Zhongchen not to allow export and casual sale, but it did not include it in the list of prohibited exports.
Even if the customs officers saw this batch of new materials, they would not be able to tell the difference between them and other steel materials. It can be said that exporting is very convenient.
While waiting for the deal with Mitsubishi, Zhang Wenhao began to devote himself to Zhangjiakou. More than a thousand robotic arms were installed on the latest diesel engine production line. After the debugging was completed, the waiter controlled more than a thousand robotic arms. He immediately devoted himself to Zhangjiakou.
production of power diesel engines.
It only took five days for the first high-power diesel engine customized by Xiaoer to be produced off the production line. This engine can be regarded as purely handmade by Xiaoer himself. There are no molds and every part is customized. This is
The engine will be sent to the military. After it is approved by the military, Zhang Wenhao will prepare for mass production. It won't be long before the production line will have the capability of mass production. The annual output is not high, but it can reach at least 5,000 units.
, at full power, it can reach 10,000 units. Within one year, it can ensure that all military high-power diesel combat vehicles in the country complete the upgrade of their power units.
The engine model that rolled off the production line is defined as dcc1800a. The beginning of dcc means the abbreviation of Dongchen Diesel, and 1800 represents the highest mileage of this engine, 1800 horsepower. A represents the version, which is the first-generation version.
In the world, the weight of a 1,500-horsepower diesel engine is generally about 1.251.5 tons. For engines with more than 1,500 horsepower, only Germany, the United States and Russia have the manufacturing capabilities, and the maximum power is only 1,700 horses and weighs more than 1.5 tons.
, and the technology is not completely mature and has not been officially installed on main battle tanks in various countries. It is still in the testing and improvement stage.
The total weight of this dcc1800a is less than 1.1 tons, and the specific weight data is only 1060 kilograms. Both in weight and volume, it is similar to a 1200-horsepower diesel engine. The engine compartment space of the active main battle tank is slightly larger than that of the dcc1800a.
For some, if you want to replace it with DCC1800a, it is not troublesome. You only need to install a set of slightly larger special molds around the engine to complete the installation and fixation directly. The additional cost will not exceed 5,000 yuan.
Small size, light weight, and high horsepower are the goals and directions for the development of all engines. Whether it is for civilian or military use, or in the aviation field, this is a law of physics, and the dcc1800a technology proposed by Zhang Wenhao is nothing more than ten years of development in Western countries.
It is only a later technology. However, Western countries can reach this standard in ten years. However, after continuous testing and improvement, it will take at least fifteen years to achieve field installation. Now, Zhang Wenhao relies on the technology in the super learning system to achieve this standard in a short time.
Within a short period of time, domestic high-power diesel engine technology has gone from being ten to fifteen years behind to being at least fifteen years ahead.
This is the huge benefit of mastering future technology. The technology contained in the super learning system is at least hundreds of years beyond the current era.
China's industrial development has been suffering from huge engine pains. It is a recognized fact that our basic civil industry is limited by engine technology. Otherwise, there would not be so many foreign-funded enterprises making money crazily in the Chinese market, and we
The military industry in China is subject to many hidden restrictions. If it is a civilian engine defect, we can also spend more money to buy it directly from advanced countries. However, the military industry cannot be bought back with money.
China's export-oriented main battle tank MBT2000 was originally a cost-effective main battle tank that could be exported to earn foreign exchange. However, because we do not have sufficient engine production capabilities, this main battle tank is equipped with high-power engines produced in Ukraine.
Diesel engines, when we wanted to export this tank abroad, Ukraine blocked it and prevented China from reselling their diesel engines to third parties. Just because Ukraine blocked the engine, it completely ruined the situation.
The whole export project, this is the pain of being controlled by others.
The emergence of this dcc1800a will completely reverse this situation of being controlled by others. At that time, I am afraid that other countries will continue to beg China to export their technology, rather than China constantly looking for better technology providers.
After receiving the notice from Zhang Wenhao, Officer Liu was so shocked that he thought he was dreaming. Only five days after the production line was launched, Zhang Wenhao claimed that the first engine had rolled off the production line, and asked Officer Liu to contact military experts to go to Zhangjiakou for inspection and acceptance.
The test took five days. Who could build a high-power diesel engine that meets military requirements in such a short period of time?!
Officer Liu asked on the phone: "Does it meet all the requirements of the military? Has the power reached 1,500 horsepower?"
Zhang Wenhao said lightly: "The team behind me believes that it is a waste of emotion to produce an engine that meets today's mainstream requirements, so the power of this engine is 20% higher than what the military requires." (To be continued.)
