The development of passenger cars is still inseparable from competition. Therefore, departments at all levels cannot directly apply for vehicles by making reports. Instead, they need financial expenditure to buy in the market and take the road of market economy.
At the same time, with the domestic people getting richer, those who get rich first must have the demand for cars. In this case, how to develop passenger cars is a top priority.
If we look at the later history, it has probably gone through three stages of development, the first is the incubation stage.
From 1978 to 1984. With the reform of urban economic system, the mandatory plan of automobile products has decreased from 92.7% in 1980 to 58.3%. Automobile circulation has changed from strict plan control to local loosening, but it still has a strong color of "plan".
In the birth stage, from 1985 to 1993, the role of automobile product circulation market mechanism was expanding day by day, and gradually replaced the traditional planned circulation system. The market mechanism began to dominate the automobile market, and the automobile market was fully formed.
The rapid growth stage is marked by the full entry into the construction of market economy in 1994 and continues until 2010 or later. The automobile industry has become a pillar industry of the national economy.
Now, it is still the most difficult stage of development. In this stage, commercial vehicles have come out, but passenger cars are still struggling.
"After many negotiations, we feel that the cooperation with Hans is the most secure." just after Qin Guan joined in, a man under the seat opened his mouth.
"Western technology is very advanced, but not many companies are willing to hand over these advanced technologies to us. For example, island countries only sell products and absolutely do not provide technology to us." the man continued: "Moreover, we also lack funds. We have talked about the Volkswagen Company in Hans. They are willing to provide the latest technology and invest money to establish a joint venture with us to jointly produce the latest cars."
Hearing this, Qin Guan knew who this man was.
The father of Santana, director Jiang of Huating first electromechanical Bureau.
Director Jiang has always worked hard. At the end of 1978, the prelude to the reform and opening up of the Han country was officially opened. In November of that year, the first head agreed to implement the automobile project in Huating in the form of Sino foreign joint venture.
In the past two years, they have been negotiating all over the world, hoping to introduce world advanced automobile technology and produce first-class cars.
However, this process is doomed to be difficult.
The island country's automobile technology is advanced. Many of the cars they produce are sold to Eagle country. However, the island country automobile company pursues "only selling goods, not technology", which is obviously out of agreement.
Looking around the world, they finally found Volkswagen. Only Volkswagen can meet their needs.
Now, it is a seminar. These imported projects must be approved by the superior. I don't know how many meetings it will take.
"We have had several rounds of negotiations with Volkswagen, and now Volkswagen is willing to export their most advanced B2 version of car technology to us for assembly in China," Jiang continued.
Volkswagen is sincere. It is not only willing to provide funds and technology, but also directly export the most advanced version without stinginess.
In November 1980, the second generation Passat B2 was launched. In the eagle market, the original name of dasher is now changed to quantum / Santana. VW did not officially use the name Passat in the global market until the late 1980s.
The interior number of this generation of car factory is typ32b. The body size of Passat B2 has become larger and the technology is more advanced. Until September 1981, Passat series launched the standard four door five seat three compartment sedan version, which is called Santana.
That's how the name of Santana comes from.
Volkswagen is sincere because they have seen the huge market in China and set up a joint venture. Volkswagen will invest half of its capital and share half of its profits.
"Now, due to the backward technology of our factory, we initially decided to introduce it in the form of CDK."
At present, domestic cars are still in the undeveloped stage, and many of them rely on manual beating to produce a new car. Therefore, if you want to produce a world-class Santana car, you can only import parts and then assemble them, which is CKD.
Even so, when the Han state began to assemble, it took a week. At that time, they were all surprised.
Hearing the report from Chiang Kai Shek's Bureau, Qin Guan was there and began to shake his head helplessly.
How's Volkswagen?
Of course, in future generations, many people are firm Volkswagen fans, which came from the original Santana. At that time, Chery, which could not be repaired at that time, made them realize the power of Volkswagen brand and feel that self-produced cars are synonymous with backwardness. People who drive 50000 or 60000 people without ESP feel that they have more face than those who drive more than 100000 domestic cars.
Even with the reduction of distribution and shaft breakage, the belief remains unchanged.
These are secondary, because Santana has made an impression on the Chinese people. More importantly, what benefits does the domestic automobile industry get from Volkswagen's joint venture?
Nothing there?
If it has to be, it is to train a large number of skilled workers. No matter how many Volkswagen cars are produced, they are in the form of joint venture. Without the consent of Volkswagen, even a backward engine can not be used.
Volkswagen is constantly making money, but it will not export any automobile technology to the Han country. This abacus is very smart.
If Han can make cars independently, their profits will be less! They continue to export new models, making the Volkswagen factory in Han country become a foundry. All the domestic automobile market is monopolized by the public.
Volkswagen made money, and the domestic automobile factories also made money, but they didn't touch the technical wool.
If some private automobile factories had not developed, the automobile industry in Han Dynasty would have completely become a processing factory. On the contrary, later, the island country was more open. The cars originally produced by private enterprises in Han country were all Mitsubishi engines, which passed the initial difficult stage.
Who has ever seen a domestic car equipped with any Volkswagen engine? Hans is smart.
The Pentium car produced by FAW itself comes from Mazda in the island country, which has nothing to do with Volkswagen. The Roewe produced by Huating Volkswagen comes from rover, which still has nothing to do with Volkswagen.
Considering that the market has changed technology, but the technology has not changed, the market has been occupied by others. Qin Guan's heart is incomparably dissatisfied.
Seeing Qin Guan shaking his head, Minister Rao said, "President Qin, do you have any views on this project?"
At this time, director Jiang's report had just ended.
"I want to know, what happened after the introduction of the Volkswagen car?" Qin Guan asked.
