Generally speaking, many things in the automotive industry spread much slower than those in the IT industry.

Compared with news in the entertainment industry, the spread speed is even slower.

But this is also relative.

Ordinary people do not pay special attention to information related to Xingchen Automobile.

After all, until now, we still don’t know when their products will be released.

It's just that when Xingchen Automobile was established, it attracted a slight wave of traffic.

However, people in the automobile industry pay unusual attention to Xingchen Automobile.

"Mr. Wang, it's basically confirmed that Xingchen Motors' first model is a high-end sedan developed to benchmark the BMW 730."

"The current quotation conditions given to suppliers are 10,000 units in three years, and mass production is expected by the end of next year or the first half of the next year."

"The configuration of this model is said to be very high. In addition to the 3.0t twin-turbocharged engine and 8at automatic transmission that everyone already knows, many other configurations are only used on high-end luxury cars."

"It is said that it is equipped with 6 airbags, and the entire series comes standard with a smart key entry system and one-button engine start."

"There are also some other configurations. We are also looking for some suppliers to inquire about, but I heard that Xingchen Automobile has signed confidentiality agreements with various suppliers, and there is no way to find out some specific information."

Zhu Jianbo gave Wang Ying a quick report on the situation of Xingchen Automobile, and the tension in his heart was completely relieved.

Although there were rumors on the Internet that Xingchen Automobile was taking the high-end route, Cao Yang also promised to the bosses of various independent brands that he would not compete with them.

But news is news, and promises are promises.

Before the boots hit the ground, everyone was still feeling weak.

There is no way, who makes all China's independent brands use either Nanshan's 1.5t turbocharged engine, Nanshan's gearbox, or both.

As long as Xingchen Auto enters the market and builds cars with the same positioning as everyone else, no one will be confident that they can compete with Xingchen Auto.

Everyone is even worried about whether Nanshan is willing to provide engines and gearboxes normally in the future, or will it regard these core parts as a weapon in the competition?

Various possibilities have appeared in everyone's worries.

Now it seems that these possibilities have basically become impossible.

For a model with such high configuration, even if Xingchen Auto makes no money, the price cannot be lower than 200,000.

In this way, there will be no competition with Great Wall Motors.

"Mr. Cao will never change his mind until he hits a wall."

"This is also a good thing for Great Wall Motors."

"But I'm afraid that the development of Xingchen Motors will drag down Nanshan Group and affect our parts supply."

Wang Ying is now fully committed to promoting the transformation of Great Wall Motors into SUVs.

The h6 model, which draws on Honda CRV, is already under intensive development.

According to the current progress, formal mass production will begin in the first half of next year.

By then, whether Great Wall Motors can successfully reach the level of annual output of 200,000 yuan will depend on the performance of the h6.

"It should not be the case. Nanshan Group is said to have a turnover of 50 billion yuan this year and a profit of at least 5 billion yuan."

"No matter how much money Xingchen Motors wastes, it can only waste 1 billion a year at most, which will not put Nanshan Group into a financial crisis."

When Zhu Jianbo said this, Wang Ying did not fully agree.

“Now that there is only one model, it naturally doesn’t cost much money.”

"If by then we start to develop seven or eight models of cars, SUVs, and MPVs at all levels, Nanshan Group may collapse suddenly."

Wang Ying has met many different kinds of people over the years.

Some people were very successful at the beginning, but after they got into trouble and messed around a few times, they lost all their previous success.

Just like Evergrande Motors in later generations, if they just build one or two models honestly and don't talk about "buy, buy, buy" or anything like that, if they keep tens of billions, they won't be able to outperform a few new car-making forces.

Development is poor.

The results of it?

"Mr. Cao does things in a systematic way, even though he is sometimes radical."

"Xingchen Automobile has not launched a single product, so it should not be able to launch so many models at once."

"Besides, a large number of their parts are now produced by Nanshan Auto Parts. As long as these parts technologies are successfully mastered, even if the car-building project fails, the parts project alone should be able to survive."

Zhu Jianbo can't say how much he likes Nanshan Group, but he definitely doesn't want to see Nanshan Group fall.

Otherwise, for the research and development of many parts, they would have to go to European and American giants such as Bosch and Continental.

Not talking about the price, just communicating is sometimes very tiring.

Especially when it comes to research and development work, it is often necessary to contact the headquarters of these suppliers.

Originally, there was a time difference and language differences between the two places.

In addition, foreigners often take vacations and disappear.

That communication could make engineers at the Great Wall Motor Research Institute vomit three liters of blood.

"Didn't our h6 prototypes start rolling off the assembly line this month?"

"Let's go to Nanshan Group to visit some time. By the way, we can visit the various factories where they provide parts for h6 to see if they are all really that powerful."

"In addition, the progress of our self-development of engines and gearboxes will also be appropriately accelerated."

In Wang Ying's heart, it is obvious that he still feels that a plan like Xingchen Automobile, which makes most of its parts by itself, is worthy of envy.

She is now also promoting Great Wall Motors to develop along this line of thinking.

Of course, the process was definitely not that smooth.

"We are already working hard, but even if we can get rid of the fate of purchasing our engines and gearboxes from the Nanshan Group as a whole, it is very difficult to completely get rid of their parts supply."

"For example, bearings, there is no product in China with better QCD comprehensive performance than Nanshan Bearings."

"As long as the turbocharger of the turbocharged engine is used, it goes without saying."

"In the whole of China, only Nanshan can currently produce. If we don't buy from Nanshan, we need to buy from BorgWarner's American factory or Eaton's American factory."

"The cost may be more than double that of Nanshan."

When Zhu Jianbo said this, Wang Ying's mood suddenly became a little lower.

However, she felt a little better when she thought that Nanshan Group did not plan to make a car worth more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan.

It is impossible for Great Wall Motors to make all its parts in-house.

In this case, whether it is given to Bosch, Continental or Nanshan Group, it seems to be the same?

After thinking about it this way, she no longer hesitated.

…

"Mr. Wang, the battery production line of Nanshan Auto Parts makes lithium-ion button batteries. It is said to be used for smart keys and will not produce mobile phone batteries or laptop batteries."

"But they haven't denied the idea of ​​producing car batteries in the future."

Some time ago, Lu Faxiang was nervous for a while because Nanshan was going to build batteries.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Cao is really generous this time. I heard that they entrusted Warwick to help develop several special-purpose chips. Even BYD Nanshan Semiconductor, which we cooperate with, has also received some entrusted development business."

"These parts are generally related to various advanced electronic and electrical components."

"If it is developed according to their requirements, then Xingchen Automobile's first product will really be the most high-end product produced in China."

Liang Chuanqing, who was next to him, also chimed in.

Every company has its own circle.

Even if you eat in the cafeteria, it's the same.

Sitting next to Wang Fu are always the company's various ministers and vice presidents.

Ordinary employees would not be so ignorant sitting nearby.

"Autohome will reveal some news about Xingchen Auto every now and then, which always whets everyone's appetite."

"But I have to say that every time the news is revealed, it is still consistent with the positioning of high-end models."

"For example, double-wishbone front independent suspension and five-link rear independent suspension. This configuration is definitely not available for ordinary cars."

"Not to mention the rumored air spring."

Zhong Qiang also expressed his views beside him.

I don’t know since when, when BYD’s internal executives talk about the domestic automobile industry, they always mention Xingchen Motors or Nanshan Group.

"The way Xingchen Auto is doing this, I don't feel like the supplier or R&D personnel are leaking secrets. Instead, it feels a bit like they are deliberately doing marketing."

"Continuously keep the name Xingchen Automobile popular and let more and more people know that there is a brand like Xingchen Automobile in China."

When Liang Chuanqing said this, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
