Chapter 232 new technologies

In the study, she came in with two cups of freshly brewed tea, then turned around and walked out, while Nie Minhui took a pile of documents and said to Zhang: "Yunfeng, my people have evaluated the market value and Prospect of Waupaca in detail, and the conclusion is not very optimistic."

"What's the matter, aunt Nie?" "Where is not so optimistic?" Zhang asked curiously

Nie Minhui handed the document to Zhang Yunfeng, but relying on his previous memory, he opened his mouth and said: "in the document, there are sales reports of the whole series of Volvo models in the past two years. In the past two years, only two models of Volvo have sold more than ten thousand each year, one is S60 and the other is XC60. Most of his models began to stop production last year, and even these two models have already been sold this year After more than nine months, the sales volume has not exceeded 5000, and other models have been completely abandoned by the market. Even if you get Volvo and restart the production of previous models, I'm afraid that the market will not recognize it. In terms of the current potential estimation, Volvo has no profitability. In terms of the current industrial scale and the consumption needed by the enterprise to maintain, it must be a loss to win the Volvo It hurts. "

Zhang Yunfeng glanced at Waupaca's sales survey, nodded, and said: "Waupaca's car industry, which has been lacking in innovation in the past two years, has not kept up with the requirements of the times, and it is inevitable that it will be eliminated by the market. The consumption enthusiasm of Chinese people is only hot in the two years when it was just nationalized, and it has been consumed for a long time now, which I had expected for a long time "

Nie Minhui was even more surprised and asked, "why do you still want it? It's not worth spending money to buy a loss making enterprise. Moreover, if you want to turn a loss into a profit, I'm afraid you need a long way to go. In this period, even if you are losing money, you must keep investing in cash to keep the enterprise running. "

Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile: "aunt Nie, there is only one main reason for buying Waupaca. There are so many automobile production lines in China. The technology level of the production lines is uneven, the level is high, and the profit is high. I certainly want this kind of production line, but no one can sell it. For the low-level ones, I need to spend a lot of time to upgrade the hardware even if someone is willing to sell them. The cycle is too long. At present, it is the most suitable one for Wal Mart, which is of medium level and eager to sell. "

Nie Minhui said with a wry smile, "it seems that all you want is the production line of Waupaca."

"That's right." Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "its brand value is not worth a penny in my eyes. Moreover, after acquiring Warburg, I will completely abandon the brand and develop my own brand on the basis of its hardware."

"Where does competitiveness come from?" Nie Minhui couldn't help asking her most worried question.

Automobile industry, the problem of competitiveness is too serious! The domestic automobile market seems to have a bright future. In fact, it is the paradise of imported cars and the whirlpool of domestic cars. No matter from the technical strength, the brand value or the consumption habits of Chinese people, both imported cars and joint-venture cars have absolute advantages. Domestic cars can live in the low-end market below 100000 yuan and survive in the market between 100000 yuan and 150000 yuan More than ten thousand markets are basically blind.

Even if the market is below 100000 yuan, there are too many competitors! The car at this price is not only competitive, but also low in profit. It's hard to break through. In Nie Minhui's opinion, Zhang Yunfeng is pushing himself to the edge of the cliff.

Zhang Yunfeng is not satisfied. He knows that Nie Minhui has no confidence in himself, or not in himself, but in domestic brands, especially new ones. This market is too cruel for domestic newborns.

Zhang Yunfeng suddenly thought that Nie Minhui's Zhongyu group is engaged in the research and development of new materials and materials science. At present, he has no ability to set foot in it. Once he has acquired wolerwo, materials will become a key point. After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfeng made a decision.

He wants to give Nie Minhui hope, let her see hope, and, dispel all her doubts, let her believe in herself unconditionally.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfeng's expression suddenly became serious. Looking at Nie Minhui, he said: "aunt Nie, I have scientific research achievements of three new materials. Now it seems that if I wait for my own development, I will be very slow, but I can take out the technology, and then I can take out the funds to jointly develop and produce with Zhongyu. I will take the proportion of capital as a share instead of technology as a share The technology is the same as I brought it here in vain, but I have several conditions. First of all, once the new materials are produced, I need to get my consent to sell them to anyone, especially to any company that has business conflict with me. "

"Scientific research results of new materials!" Nie Minhui looked at Zhang Yunfeng and asked, "what new material? How can you have the research results of materials science? "

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and said, "please forgive me for the source of the achievement. I must keep it secret, but I can disclose the material to you first."

As he said, Zhang Yunfeng chose three new materials that are not available at present from materials science, saying: "first of all, it's light high temperature resistant aluminum alloy. This aluminum alloy is about 40% lighter than the aluminum alloy used in automobile engines now. It's not only light in weight, but also far superior in corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It's the most suitable material for application In the engine, in this way, the cylinder wall of the engine can be guaranteed to be the thinnest, and the engine can bear a great load, so it can easily be competent for the high temperature and high load operation of the supercharging and turbocharging, even the nitrogen acceleration system. "

Nie Minhui is shocked. Is Zhang Yunfeng joking? Nowadays, the engine materials in western countries are very high-end, which can't be made in China. The most important thing is that the cost of this kind of engine materials is extremely high. There is no high-end car in China, which also leads to the reluctance of domestic automobile manufacturers and domestic material manufacturers to spend a lot of money to develop this new material. Zhang Yunfeng said that this kind of aluminum alloy, even Bixi Is the level of fangs much higher?

Zhang Yunfeng continued: "there is also a kind of scientific research achievement, which is carbon fiber. Now carbon fiber technology is very practical. Carbon fiber is used in aerospace technology and high-end industrial manufacturing. However, the cost of carbon fiber is still very high. In the case of automobiles, more than a million cars will consider the use of carbon fiber technology, and the benefits of carbon fiber, you should also Yes, it's light, high hardness, strong strength and strong corrosion resistance. Especially, the transmission shaft made of carbon fiber can bear several times of the torsion of steel structure, but its weight is only about 15% of the steel structure. The scientific research results I provide will not be much stronger than the carbon fiber today, but the production cost can be reduced to about one tenth of the current. "

"what!" The teacups in Nie Minhui's hands almost fell, and the tea was not wiped. He exclaimed and asked in a daze, "the cost can be reduced to one tenth of what it is now!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yunfeng nodded. The best carbon fiber technology is of no practical use now, and the production is very cumbersome and costly. In this case, it's better to take out the mature common technology of later generations. Although in terms of technical parameters, it's not much better than now, but later generations have found the lowest cost production process.

It's just like penicillin. When penicillin was first discovered, this precious life-saving drug could only be cultivated in a special medium, one gram and two grams were extremely rare, and the output was extremely small. But after a few years, people found the method of cultivating penicillin with corn flour, and the production cost fell countless times, and the output fell a little The cost of penicillin production with microbial culture medium is lower and the output is larger. It is the constantly improving manufacturing process that gradually turns penicillin, which is more expensive than gold, into a cheap public medicine.

It's the same with carbon fiber. Even though there are mature carbon fiber technologies, there is no good way to reduce costs and increase production. But Zhang Yunfeng dares to pat his chest and say that he has it!

Then, Zhang Yunfeng said: "once the cost of carbon fiber production can be reduced by 90%, then the market prospect is very big, I dare say, the profit space is too big for us to measure!"

"It's immeasurable! The meaning it brings is not just profit! " Nie Minhui did not ask whether it was true or not. Instead, he asked, "you say there are three kinds of scientific research achievements, and what is another kind of scientific research achievement?"

"New alloy steel." Zhang Yunfeng said: "the crankshaft, gear and other parts that can be used in the industry have high strength and wear resistance, which can not only greatly improve the service life of the parts, but also reduce the maintenance cost in the later period. They are most suitable for the transmission field and the parts that are easy to lose."

Nie Minhui closed her eyes slightly and worked hard for a long time to calm down her mood. Then she looked at Zhang Yunfeng seriously and asked, "Yunfeng, are you really kidding me?"

Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile, "of course not." Said Zhang Yunfeng: "now we can talk about the details of cooperation between Dongchen and Zhongyu. If Zhongyu has a perfect production line and scientific research strength, we will first evaluate the current scale of Zhongyu's new material research and development field. If it is worth two billion dollars, then I will invest one billion dollars to buy 50% of the shares from you. Then I'll bring these three research results directly in. "

Nie Minhui couldn't help but exclaim: "if you're right, the potential profits of the three scientific research achievements alone will be at least tens of billions of dollars, especially carbon fiber. Now there is no advanced carbon fiber manufacturing technology in China, and there is a technical blockade on us in the world. Although there are also carbon fiber research projects in China, they haven't been able to rank in the front row all over the world The annual output is no more than 560000 tons, most of which are occupied by the two countries, i.e. dongdau and the United States. Germany and cold countries also have a small share. In this field alone, if there is a scientific research achievement that can reach their technical parameters and reduce the cost by 90%, then it is too easy to be the only one in this industry. Moreover, we can narrow this industry "To the whole society!"

As she said, Nie Minhui looked at Zhang Yunfeng and said, "if these three kinds of scientific research results are true, you can use technology to share in Zhongyu group in exchange. I own 82% of the shares of Zhongyu group, and I will give you half of them in exchange."

41% of the whole Zhongyu group? Zhang Yunfeng is surprised by Nie Minhui's generosity. In terms of market value, 41%
