Chapter 409 Only sell products, don't think about technology
Following the frame, the assembly began. The advanced engine and transmission system were first installed on the chassis, and the chassis of a heavy truck was first in its shape.
"Our heavy trucks use the OM402 power system and ZF's transmission system. The engine is divided into several different displacements, with full power ranging from 200 horsepower to 400 horsepower. As for the supporting gearbox, it is the largest and famous transmission system in Europe. From a 9-speed gearbox to 12-speed gearbox, it is enough to fully match the engine."
At this time, domestic trucks and gearbox gears are still in the field of 5 forward gears. The power chain used by Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks is already quite mature, and the gears of 9 transmissions sound incredible.
To measure a country's basic industry, it depends on its automobile production.
At that time, when World War II just ended, Germany was already ruined. As a country with rich industrial heritage, the Germans achieved a miracle of 1 million vehicles per year within ten years after the war. As for now, Germany has become the world's second largest automobile producer.
The annual production of domestic cars has only exceeded 100,000.
Those who came to inspect were all elites in the domestic automobile industry, including FAW, Second Automobile, Yellow River Factory, etc. The leaders in these factories were also deeply moved when they looked at the modern automobile production line.
"The shaft head of the rear axle looks very thick." Nie Yunkai suddenly said.
The three major parts of the heavy truck power chain are: the engine, transmission and rear axle. When the rear axle is installed, you can see that the entire chassis is almost intact. This rear axle is very different from the domestic rear axle. Cast steel manufacturing is second-hand. Look at the shaft head, it is even thicker.
"Yes, there is a set of planetary gears in this shaft head, which is a special wheel-side reducer. In the field of heavy-duty transportation, wheel-side reducer is the most suitable way." Manager Schultz said.
A small shaft head contains knowledge. The structure of the entire vehicle is very different from that of domestic cars. Then, looking at the cab in front, it is even more modern. The military-green cabs are directly hung over the top of the head, and then they are installed on the chassis as a whole. When installed, this is not an empty shell in the cab, but a direct entire cab, called the cab assembly, the steering wheel, instrument, and various wiring harnesses inside have been installed.
Squatting below, Nie Yunkai watched the installation process seriously and nodded constantly. The cab was not directly screwed and fixed with the frame. Between the cab and the frame, an airbag shock absorption is connected. In this way, when sitting inside, the vibration from the ground can be effectively filtered.
Comfort and reliability have been greatly improved. Moreover, there is a rotating shaft in the front, and the entire cab can be flipped forward, so that the engine maintenance is more convenient and quick.
The overall design is reasonable and advanced, and the production line reflects the highest level of a modern large factory. The ground is clean and tidy and spotless, and everyone who sees it has a pleasing feeling.
"We are ready to come to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures this time." After watching the production line, in the afternoon, the leader of the team leader Yang spoke in the conference room.
Schultz had a smile on his face. After introducing their Mercedes-Benz production line, we can see that these customers from major Eastern countries were very interested. Therefore, Schultz was also looking forward to a big deal and was listening to Mr. Yang's speech seriously.
"In our country, we have decided to officially establish a third automobile factory, specifically introducing foreign technology to produce first-class heavy trucks. This NG80 heavy truck is the most advanced technology during our inspection. Therefore, we want to introduce the entire heavy truck production technology from Mercedes-Benz and produce it in our country." Mr. Yang finally said everyone's purpose.
When you come to the West to obtain scriptures, you have to take back the scriptures. This is not military technology, but civilian technology. If you want to introduce technology, there will be no obstacles.
Before leaving, the superiors had already made an instruction. This is a key project that the whole country attaches great importance to after the national economic development path was determined.
After all, the development of the economy is inseparable from transportation. The domestic transport vehicles cannot meet the growing demand and must take the path of introduction.
Everyone was looking at Schultz with anticipation, and at this time, Schultz's face had changed: "Aren't you here to buy a car?"
Schultz was very satisfied with the other party's investigation. He thought he could sell a large number of them this time. After all, he also knew how big the market of the Eastern power was, including military and civilian. There were probably tens of thousands of vehicles. He was very confident in his NG80 heavy trucks.
First-class quality, Mercedes-Benz quality, especially military use, is definitely an irreplaceable product. He is happy to feel that he can open up a new market and occupy a place in the board of directors.
Now, the other party is not here to buy a car, but to buy technology?
No, of course we can't export the technology to them.
Is it worth mentioning whether it is selling eggs or selling hens that can lay eggs? Mercedes-Benz only wants to sell eggs.
However, such words cannot be said directly.
So, Schultz's mind turned around and said, "I understand your feelings, but as I saw on the production line, our production line is first-class, and the technology inside is the most advanced in the world. Even if you introduce the production line, you will not have qualified industrial workers. Therefore, this is impossible. If you can't get fat in one bite, I would rather suggest that you buy our heavy truck first. You can talk about the introduction of the production line later."
This is for your consideration, at the level of your country, is it OK?
"For example, take our cab production as an example. I heard that you used hammers to produce cabs." Schultz continued to give an example. As a sales manager climbing up from a salesperson at the bottom, Schultz immediately conducted an investigation into the Eastern Power after receiving the other party's request for an inspection.
How can a country that relies on a hammer to knock on the cab, produce our heavy trucks?
"Next, I can also take you to see the production line of our cab. We use advanced molds to stamp it out directly and form it in one piece. Then, we have to go through various electrophoresis and spraying processes to ensure that the cab does not change color for decades. In terms of these processes and technologies, it is something that you oriental countries do not have, and it is also impossible to master in the short term. For you, it is urgently needed to develop the economy and require a large number of transportation vehicles. Import is the best choice. In terms of price, we can discuss it in detail."
