Chapter 160 When you become stronger, good things will come to your door

Nanshan has made such a big splash in the automotive industry, and at first it only attracted the attention of various automotive OEMs.

But soon, as Nanshan provided physical samples of 6AT to various potential customers, the influence of this matter immediately reached a higher level.

"Mr. Wang, judging from our preliminary confirmation so far, the situation of Nanshan 6AT is consistent with the information in their introduction materials."

At Great Wall Motors, Zhu Jianbo went to report to Wang Ying on the gearbox.

For a long time, self-owned brand car companies have generally used manual transmissions in various models.

It's not because everyone thinks the driving experience of a manual transmission is good, so they should use it.

It's because you can't buy a suitable automatic transmission, or the price of the available automatic transmission is too high.

Normally, a manual transmission can be purchased for three to four thousand yuan.

But if it is replaced by an automatic transmission, even Aisin's 4AT will cost up to 12,000 yuan.

As for this, people may not be willing to sell it.

As for 6AT…

Even if you pay 20,000 yuan for one, neither Aisin nor ZF will sell it to you.

Of course, this situation changes every year.

As competition in China's auto parts industry gradually becomes fierce, as long as you are willing to spend money, whether it is ZF or Aisin, they will gradually sell various types of gearboxes.

"Then according to your statement, isn't Nanshan 6AT better than Aisin 6AT?"

"Isn't this unlikely?"

"How can you copy someone else's gearbox and make it better than the original one?"

Wang Ying is not that easy to fool.

What Zhu Jianbo said goes against common sense.

"Mr. Wang, judging from the current situation, Nanshan has indeed not copied Aisin's 6AT. This is consistent with some of the information they said during their previous introduction."

"Even judging from the current situation, Nanshan's 6AT technology is more advanced than Aisin's 6AT, but it will take time to confirm the stability."

Zhu Jianbo said with a wry smile.

This situation even seemed a bit surprising to him.

When did such a powerful gearbox manufacturer appear in China?

It can actually suppress Aisin's most advanced 6AT gearbox currently in mass production.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No!"

Seeing Zhu Jianbo's sure look, Wang Ying quickly made a decision and said: "Then don't hesitate. Next year our new models will all use Nanshan 6AT for mid-range and high-end models, and MT for low-end models."

"In addition, it is best to contact the other party to see if we can jointly develop some other styles of gearboxes."

Obviously, taking this opportunity, Wang Ying also wants to cultivate Great Wall Motors' own transmission design capabilities.

Originally, everyone told her that gearbox design was difficult and could not be solved by the current Great Wall Motors.

Therefore, she did not assign development tasks to researchers.

But now Nanshan can handle 6AT, why can’t Great Wall Motors?

Not believing in evil, she began to arrange tasks for Zhu Jianbo.

Zhu Jianbo, who felt bitter in his heart, could not refuse this task.

Fortunately, I didn’t give myself a specific time requirement. I will definitely continue to use Nanshan’s 6AT in the short term.

His pressure is not particularly great.

…

"Mr. Cao, the land acquisition work for the second phase of Nanshan Industrial Park has been completed, and the three links and one leveling district are also fully assisting."

"If you still have any difficulties, and if any department is uncooperative during the construction process, you can come to me directly."

"As long as the district can solve the problem, we will do our best to help solve it."

"If the district cannot solve the problem, the city will do its best to solve it."

There was such a big commotion in Nanshan, so it was impossible for there to be no movement at all in the area.

No, Cao Yang was accompanying Liu Tianwu to inspect the construction progress of the first phase of Nanshan Industrial Park.

In two days, leaders from Yangcheng will come to inspect, and Liu Tianwu is taking the lead now.

Cao Yang even heard that Liu Tianwu would go one step further in the future and take full responsibility for the economic construction work in the district.

This is also a good thing for Nanshan.

Of course, given Nanshan's current development speed and scale, no matter who comes here, they will choose to support Nanshan's development.

So Cao Yang is not very worried about changes in this aspect.

"The number of employees in Nanshan is constantly increasing, and it has almost exceeded 1,500 recently."

"The location of this factory is a bit remote now, and life around it is not that convenient."

"Can you help arrange a few more bus lines to make it easier for employees to travel?"

Cao Yang did not open his mouth like a lion and make any unreasonable demands.

For Nanshan, who has mastered the core technology, what he lacks most is actually time.

In other respects, as long as no one comes to cause trouble, everything will be fine.

And those who can enter the body are not stupid.

I would not choose a star company like Nanshan to reach out.

"No problem, new bus lines will be opened within this month. Even the subway lines currently planned in the city can also consider setting up stations near Nanshan Industrial Park in the future."

Liu Tianwu now hopes that Nanshan can develop rapidly more than anyone else, and he has begun to enjoy the benefits that Nanshan's development has brought to him.

If Nanshan can become a tens-billion-scale enterprise in the future, he will wake up laughing while sleeping.

"Thank you, leader."

"It would be best if there was a subway."

"Many customers have come to visit during this period, and we have received several cooperation intentions from Great Wall Motors, Changan Automobile and Spring City Motor."

"It is expected that the 6AT automatic transmission will be installed on the models of these customers such as Ford Motor, General Motors and Great Wall Motor starting next year."

"If everything goes well, large-scale volume expansion can begin in the second half of next year."

"By then, all the factories in the first phase of our industrial park will be able to operate at close to full capacity."

"The second-phase factory will also have some related businesses to connect."

Cao Yang knew very well what Liu Tianwu cared about most, so the information he introduced was also closer to this aspect.

"I heard that you are cooperating with Shaogang to build a special steel plant. Has this matter been confirmed?"

It is impossible for such a big thing as building a steel plant to go without any movement.

Obviously, Liu Tianwu has heard the news in this regard.

"It has been confirmed, and now we have entrusted Shaogang as a whole to help us with the construction and initial operations. We are also recruiting some technical and managerial personnel in special steel."

"Nowadays, Nanshan's gearboxes and bearings use a large amount of special steel. If they are purchased from outside, the quality is difficult to control and the cost is not advantageous."

Cao Yang was not surprised that Liu Tianwu knew about the special steel factory.

There is no completely airtight wall in this world.

"Is it possible to locate this special steel plant in Yangcheng?"

"Even if our district is not big, other districts can do it."

Sure enough, Liu Tianwu was acting as a lobbyist for others.

Although a 300,000-ton special steel plant does not involve crude steel smelting, the investment is not very large.

But it is definitely a big project worth hundreds of millions.

No matter which district you are in, everyone is interested.

"In fact, no matter where the leader is placed, it is acceptable to Nanshan."

"But because we entrusted Shaogang to help us build it, the personnel were all transferred from Shaogang."

"That's why the address was chosen in Shaozhou, close to Yangcheng, so as to facilitate the movement of personnel from the special steel plant."

"Originally, we considered cooperating with Guangzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., but they didn't seem to be very interested in our cooperation."
