One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Nine 1 Wolf Off

Mr. Yu, who is an in-depth cooperation unit, called and invited them to come. BYD still attaches great importance to it.

Mr. Wang and He Xiaojun have met before in some business forums. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they know each other well.

Now listening to Mr. Yu saying that he is now promoting an electronics company, Mr. Wang can't help being very interested.

You must know that BYD started out as a battery manufacturer. In fact, its earliest predecessor should be regarded as an electronics company.

At the beginning, they were supporting mobile phone batteries for major mobile phone manufacturers, and later upgraded to making various electronic products.

For example, the early car navigation all-in-one machine, etc., until they acquired Qinchuan Automobile more than ten years ago, and then began to enter the automotive field.

As a company from an electronics company, they naturally understand the status quo of the domestic industry very well.

In the current situation, many of their products also need to be used in large quantities, so they also import a large amount from Wanwan and Japan every year.

Previously, Warwick was stuck in the United States, and then Japan and Wanwan manufacturers joined hands to increase the price of Warwick, which also deeply stimulated Mr. Wang.

What made Mr. Wang even more angry was what the boss of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. said.

"In mainland China, you can just design and produce chips. You can't produce them. Let us do it in Wanwan!"

The contempt in these words made Old Wang very angry.

So he publicly replied: "The chip is man-made? It's not made by God!"

So he turned around and announced his entry into the chip industry, and Lao Wang immediately won the attention of many domestic entrepreneurs and capital parties with such a high-level call.

Some capital parties have even started to contact Lao Wang, ready to read his feasible report, and then invest in him.

Because everyone in the industry knew that this Old Wang was the out-and-out ruthless person.

He is different from those bosses who can only talk big and cheat subsidies, this one is a fierce wolf.

But if he said something, it will be fulfilled in all likelihood.

Otherwise, he would not have become the first person in China to be favored by Buffett and invest.

Back then, BYD had just entered the automobile industry. From 2004 to 2010, it happened to be the stage of rapid growth of domestic independent automobile brands.

But at that time, most domestic independent car brands were just starting out, and their technology was very weak.

The engines are generally purchased from Mitsubishi's domestic 4G series engines. Even if they are not sold, they are all reverse-developed engines.

As for transmissions, they are basically manual, and the country does not have the ability to produce automatic transmissions at all.

Later, domestic automobile manufacturers wanted to upgrade their products and install automatic transmissions on their cars.

But at that time, only Toyota's younger brother Aisin was willing to buy automatic transmissions for Huaguo car companies.

As for what ZF, Jetco, I don't even pay attention to you.

And Aisin's request is also very simple, that is, it is okay to sell you an automatic transmission, but you have to use Mitsubishi's 4G series engines.

In other people's words, our Japanese-made transmissions are most suitable for matching Japanese engines, but it is easy to go wrong when matching your Chinese-made engines.

These words are simply an insult to the intelligence of Chinese people.

But who told us that we don't have the ability to produce automatic transmissions, so even many people are very dissatisfied with the Japanese style.

But I can only hold my nose and bear it, and what is even more hateful is that the mainstream car transmissions in the world at that time have been upgraded to six-speed automatics.

But the automatic transmission sold to us by the Japanese is a four-speed automatic transmission that is an era behind.

In this way, many domestic car companies have used it for several years.

At that time, BYD's wolf destroying Laowang was very uncomfortable with such a situation. BYD had already entered the automobile industry for several years at that time.

Relying on the Toyota Corolla, the Lexus RX has produced two successful models, the F3 and the S6.

If this is other domestic car companies,

I must stick to my roots and eat to the end. After all, although there are many scoldings, the money is actually earned. Although the profit of each single product is a little lower, it is still profitable.

But Pharaoh couldn't swallow this breath. He first contacted Volkswagen and wanted to cooperate with Volkswagen, because Volkswagen had just launched the power combination of DSI+DSG at that time.

The dual-clutch transmission back then was hyped up by the public and German fans.

It's a pity that, no accident, Lao Wang's application for cooperation with the public was directly ignored, and they didn't take him seriously at all.

So Lao Wang gritted his teeth and specially recruited a large number of doctoral students to reverse the Volkswagen dual-clutch transmission and create a dual-clutch transmission himself.

This is also the first domestically-made automatic transmission, and it is all self-produced from research and development to completion.

Even in the process of production and development, they directly avoided the pit that the DSG transmission fell through.

Although this transmission has a lot of quality problems later, it is mainly caused by the congenital defects of the dual-clutch transmission.

However, this move by BYD undoubtedly taught many domestic independent car companies a lesson and opened a window for them.

It turns out that automatic transmission is not as difficult as everyone thinks. It turns out that as long as there is perseverance, everyone can do it?

Since then, all domestic independent car machine manufacturers have begun to try to develop their own automatic transmissions.

Since then, those foreign automatic transmission manufacturers have never dared to compete with domestic car dealers.

Even Aisin and ZF obediently chose to cooperate with domestic independent manufacturers.

As for Jetco, huh, this is the most shameless, and they all invested and built factories in China.

Another major contribution of Lao Wang to Huaguo's automobile industry is that he directly conquered the ESP system.

To put it bluntly, it is the body stabilization system. This electronic system can intervene when the car suddenly loses control at high speed, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by the car accident and ensure the safety of the driver and passengers.

This set of electronic equipment was already a standard configuration in foreign countries as early as thirty years ago.

In fact, Japanese car manufacturers have their own system for this set of electronic equipment.

The German side is mainly provided by Bosch, and Bosch sold this system to Germany, Europe, and even American car companies for basically 800 yuan a set.

And if Huaguo car companies want to install it, they won't sell it to you at all.

So at that time, domestic cars, including high-end models of the United States, Japan and Germany, and even mid-level models, they did not equip you with an ESP system.

One is that the country did not require the compulsory installation of this system at that time, and the other is that in order to save costs, the lives of Chinese people were not taken seriously at all.

Also about 10 years ago, Mr. Wang contacted Bosch, hoping to purchase this system and install it on BYD vehicles.

But at that time Bosch gave an almost humiliating offer, 4000 yuan for a set!

Lao Wang was furious when he heard it, silly? 4,000 yuan for a set? How much money do I make for a car?

And you only sell 400 sets to the public, and only 800 sets to American cars. Why do you sell 4,000 sets to our Huaguo car companies.

As a result, Bosch didn't like him at all, whether he wanted to buy it or not.

Lao Wang was angry at the time, so he formed a public relations team, and it took a year to finally overcome this so-called ESP system.

As soon as they made a breakthrough on their side, Bosch on the other side panicked.

While sending people to the door to negotiate and expressing their willingness to supply, they began to extensively contact automakers in Huaguo, expressing their willingness to sell ESP to everyone.

And the price is negotiable!

That is to say, since that time, the ESP system has been basically used in domestic cars.

That's why Xiao Feng said that this Old Wang is the real wolf destroyer.

In fact, he wished that such wolves would be wiped out, and there would be more of them in China.

Of course, there are still many classic cases of Lao Wang in the business world. For example, after the financial crisis in 2008, he took advantage of the heavy damage to the Japanese economy.

Leading a team to Japan to buy bottoms and acquire the Japanese mold company Ogiwara Mold Factory.

It was this operation that raised the mold section of domestically-produced cars to a whole new level and took it to a big level.

These are things that other domestic car manufacturers have not done.

And last year, after Huawei was sanctioned by the United States, Foxconn in Wanwan and another American-funded OEM company refused to manufacture products for Huawei.

It was BYD who stood up at a critical moment and helped Warwick produce mobile phones.

It was this kind of behavior that made Xiao Feng appreciate this President Wang even more.

Of course, BYD also has a lot of negative news. For example, the concept of family business is heavy, the procurement has always been controlled by the family, there are serious corruption problems, and even the quality of procurement is not up to standard.

In addition, their OEM factory has a bad reputation, and there are serious problems of squeezing employees and so on.

But every company has black and white sides. Xiao Feng is not a Mr. Morality, and he cannot make judgments on these.

Some time ago, Huawei announced its cooperation with BYD to enter the field of autonomous driving.

As for BYD, it has been plagued by the inability to produce key components by itself.

For example, their most direct competitor, Tesla, has been hyping the gimmick of autonomous driving.

Tesla's autonomous driving is actually a set of core technologies that combine software and hardware.

There are more than 20 sensors assembled in the whole vehicle, of which more than a dozen are radar and sonar sensors.

As for the visual sensor, there are as many as eight.

And these eight sensors will take pictures of the front, rear, left, and right situations during the driving process of the vehicle, and transmit them to the main chip HW for processing.

In the main engine, there is also Tesla's unique Autopilot system. This system will summarize various data, and then analyze and judge how the vehicle should drive with the shortest event.

And this is the core meaning of Tesla's autonomous driving, and it is also one of the biggest gaps between us and Tesla.
