Technological Hegemony

Why Europe?

When Shen Lang saw the overwhelming coverage of the news, a huge doubt arose in his heart.

And domestic media are generally optimistic, thinking that Huaxia's electric vehicles have superior performance, and as long as they go overseas, they will certainly conquer the world. Shen Lang is very optimistic about this. He does not think that Huaxia Electric Vehicle Group has won the European market. strength.

With this confusion, Shen Lang took the high-speed rail with his classmates and returned to the capital of Shanghai. After dropping the luggage in the dormitory, he washed his face and immediately came to the teacher's office. He saw Luo Jia across the floor-to-ceiling window. Li Moran is discussing with software president.

Soon after, Li Moran left, and Shen Lang knocked on the door of Luo Jia's office.

"You are back," Luo Jia said with a smile. "There is good news. The software center has completed the bi project. Next, they will start marching toward the last bastion of general industrial software, eda."

Shen Lang was surprised for a while, and it was good news. Eda is semiconductor design software, which is used to design various chips and processors. Once the eda project is completed, Xingchen Technology will be able to enter the semiconductor field.

The five general-purpose industrial software are the basis of all industrial software. With these foundations, countless kinds of more advanced special software can be extended.

For example, the military designs missile software, which only needs to extract a part of the modules from the five basic industrial software, and then rearrange and optimize it.

In short, the five general-purpose industrial software are like the foundation of a building. When the foundation is ready, if you want to build a Chinese-style or Western-style building, or even a surrealist building, you only need to add bricks and tiles to the foundation.

Luo Jia smiled and said, "You were in a hurry to find me as soon as you came back. What's the matter?"

Shen Lang frowned. "I'm a bit confused about the entry of electric cars into the European market. It seems too risky. After all, Europe is the most competitive market in the world. Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler, Fiat, logos Citroen, Renault, Not only are these giants headquartered in Europe, but even North American car groups GM and Ford have actually shifted their focus to Europe. "

"Fox, Mondeo, Carnival, GM Yinglang, etc. that everyone is familiar with, these models are actually designed and developed in Europe. Even Japanese car giants also have large investments in Europe. The Nissan cars we are familiar with are actually all The name is Renault-Nissan Mitsubishi United Group, which belongs to a deep cooperation between France and Neon. "

Shen Lang gave a lot of reasons in one breath. Luo Jia said lightly after hearing, "Europe is indeed the most competitive auto market in the world, and we don't have a lot of hole cards. Whether Geely, BYD, or Great Wall belong to the world. Small and medium-sized automobile groups are not at the same level as those giants. "

"I am very clear about the situation, but you may have overlooked a detail. This time the European operation, the distribution and after-sales system used is Geely ’s Volvo system. That is to say, whether it is the Great Wall or BYD ’s electric vehicles, It is sold in Volvo stores and the after-sales service is also done by the Volvo Group. "

Luo Jia reminded Shen Lang a little bit, so he didn't say much any more, leaving Shen Lang himself the space for thinking.

The brain began to think quickly. Although Shen Lang knew the details of the distribution system in the news, he didn't think about it. After Luo Jia's suggestion, Shen Lang suddenly realized that this matter was not so simple.

Luo Jia glanced at the perpetual calendar on the table, sold a key, and said to Shen Lang, "The day after tomorrow will be October 1. By then, everything will be clear."

Two days later, on October 1, a series of news came out from Huaxia, shocking the whole world.

The first is Geely and BYD. Great Wall announced the merger and established a brand new company, East Asia Automobile Group.

After the reorganization, the annual production capacity of the East Asian Automobile Group will reach a staggering 10 million vehicles, covering the nine major brands of Geely, Link, Volvo, BYD, Lingyun, Great Wall, wey, Lotus, and Proton.

According to the current global rankings, the top three companies are Toyota Group, Volkswagen Group, Renault Nissan Mitsubishi United Group, and their annual production capacity is about 12 million vehicles, which is difficult to separate. And the fourth-ranked GM Group has an annual production capacity of 8.5 million vehicles, which is quite a gap from the top three.

After the establishment of the East Asian Automobile Group, it will surpass GM and become the fourth largest car manufacturer in the world.

Initially, when Luo Jia led the establishment of the Huaxia Automobile Alliance, the total production capacity of Geely, BYD, and Great Wall was only 4 million. Today, it has increased by 2.5 times in less than two years, which is a remarkable achievement. .

However, the Chinese people have not yet had time to celebrate, and a second news came.

The national team also announced plans for the restructuring of the automotive industry, Changan, Chery, GAC, SAIC, Southeast, Haima, JAC, Zotye, Dongfeng, FAW, BAIC, and they will formally merge. A new automobile group, Huaxia Automobile will also be established.

The production capacity of Huaxia Automobile Group reached 7 million units, ranking behind GM Group and Hyundai Kia Group, ranking seventh in the world, higher than the eighth-ranked Ford Group's 6.5 million units.

Many people who eat melon do not understand why the production capacity of the national team is only 7 million, which is not even as high as that of the three major private car groups. Is this impossible?

However, the facts are just so cruel. FAW Toyota, FAW Audi, FAW Volkswagen are indeed large automobile factories, but they are joint venture brands. When you buy a domestic Audi A6, you ca n’t tell others that you should buy it yourself. Got a FAW car?

The real China First Automobile is just a small car factory, with annual sales of 200,000 vehicles, which is still far behind the FAW-Volkswagen fraction.

For another example, Wuling Group, the light of the magic car Wuling, the masses have a good reputation ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ But Wuling is a joint venture brand of SAIC and GM, and it is not a real domestic product.

For the time being, the largest car factory in the national team is Changan, with an annual production capacity of 2 million vehicles.

The military is always strong. Changan Automobile is affiliated with the General Equipment Department of the military. Although they have also established joint ventures such as Changan Mazda and Changan Suzuki, they have never given up their own brand development. Otherwise, the strength of the national team will be even greater. Ugly.

Followed by Dongfeng, one million vehicles, while Chery, BAIC, JAC, SAIC, and Guangzhou Automobile all have a production capacity of about 500,000.

In short, the national team put together the cards in their hands, and finally put together a production capacity of 7 million vehicles. Although a bit pitiful, they have at least the qualification to enter the game.

In addition, Sinotruk took the lead, united Jiefang, Yutong, Jinlong, Jiangling, Foton, etc., and established Huaxia Commercial Vehicle Group, which mainly manufactures heavy trucks and commercial buses with an annual production capacity of 3 million vehicles.

In any case, under the constant lobbying and efforts of Xingchen Technology, Huaxia's large and small auto manufacturers finally joined together to form East Asia, Huaxia, Commercial, and the three major automobile groups. Based on the global annual production capacity of 100 million vehicles, Huaxia's three major factories account for one fifth of them.
