Wang Chuanfu invested 100 billion yuan, and the Western giants lost face, British media reported!
A Japanese journalist interviewed a Japanese executive and suddenly asked, "Do you have the guts to export engines to China without fear of what they will learn from you?" The Japanese sneered and said bluntly: "Do you have the guts to sell engines to China?" The Japanese sneered and said, "Even if I give them blueprints, they won't be able to make an engine as good as the Japanese!" ”
In this world, it is an indisputable fact that if you fall behind, you will be bullied. At that time, Japan also had a strong advantage in science and technology, and we could only import engines from Japan, and the Japanese could only endure it and did not dare to say anything.
China's automotive industry is the reason why"Far behind", in large part because it started too late. The United States has had production lines since 1908, and 30 years later, one in five people has their own car, and the penetration of sedans has reached alarming levels. Germany was the first country to invent the automobile, and it had a strong automobile industry before World War I. In 1937, Volkswagen was founded, and based on this, a large number of civilian vehicles were manufactured. Japan's automobile industry was only able to develop after World War II, especially after the energy crisis in the seventies, and a large number of cars could not be used in the United States**. Japanese sedans are popular all over the world due to their low cost and durability, and have become a hot topic, marking the arrival of a prosperous period.
There is no doubt that since the birth of China's own brands in 2000, China's automobile industry has developed for 20 years, but it is too difficult to catch up with European and American countries for nearly 100 years!
Perhaps it is because European and American auto companies occupy an absolute market share, which makes them despise Chinese cars and gives us the opportunity to surpass them.
Take, for example, the Japanese brand Suzuki, which was a huge success in China at that time due to its affordability, fuel efficiency, and durability. However, when the requirements of Chinese customers continue to increase, Suzuki's founder Shu said frankly: "If I can't satisfy Chinese customers, I won't be able to gain a firm foothold in China: Suzuki in order to please people, as a result, China's sales have declined year by year, and finally Suzuki gave Changan Suzuki shares to Chang'an at a price of 1 yuan, and withdrew from the Chinese market in embarrassment."
Especially in the era of new energy! Foreign car companies are so old-fashioned, let us"Changing lanes to overtake", and when I come back to the taste, it's too late! Sony Honda President Jun Kawanishi said, "China's electric vehicles don't have any technology," he continued, "China's electric cars are just a bunch of gadgets on the move, without any creativity." "Japanese automakers claim that electric vehicles are not possible, but on the other hand, they are investing heavily in research. On the one hand, Japanese automakers claim that electric vehicles are not possible, and on the other hand, they are also investing a lot of money in trying to catch up with China, which is effectively a double standard.
As the Tokyo Motor Show will be held in October next year, Japan is completely left behind in the development of new energy vehicles. At the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, BYD brought its Seal, Dolphin, Yuan Plus, Denza D9, Qoros U8, Leaf Battery, E30 platform, in front of BYD's booth, crowded, crowded. Unlike Japan's own car companies, there are very few customers here. The Japanese media have gone a bit too far on this point. This is all about an auto show: the Japanese hold a car show in Japan, but in fact they advertise a car company in China!
Not just Japan? China's own brands are becoming the focus of global attention. For example, The Economist once warned Western car companies that "China's electric vehicles are threatening Western car companies".
Even European and American countries are lamenting China's pure electric vehicles, and in China, people's perception of it is still the era of taxis, believing that the reason why it can rise is because of the first subsidies and tax breaks. But in fact, the 1 million units of BYD U8 luxury sedans have reduced the price of Mercedes-Benz G500, Land Rover Defender and other models. Therefore, the development of China's new energy vehicles does not lie in its cost performance, but in its huge influence in the market, as well as more accumulation!
Take BYD as an example, as we all know, BYD is very strong in batteries, motors and electronic control, but Wang Chuanfu is not satisfied with this status quo. Prior to this, there were rumors that "BYD is stronger than the three electrics, and weak is less than wisdom", and on January 16 this year, BYD's "Dream Factory", BYD showed its wisdom. Wang Chuanfu feels that "intelligent cockpit" and "intelligent driving" cannot correspond to a "smart", only "fully intelligent", "fully intelligent", "intelligent", "intelligent"!
BYD's layout in the field of intelligence is obviously more in-depth than other car companies. Now, Wang Chuanfu's ambition has surfaced, and BYD will take full control of its core technology, independent research and development and vertical integration. ""One core, two ends, three networks, four chains", with Xuangui intelligent structure as the core, organically combines electrification and intelligence.
Just like a person, as long as the head is long, the limbs are long, the eyes are long, and the nose is long, you can move freely. It can be seen that BYD attaches great importance to the intelligent control of vehicles!
In addition, BYD's ability in the field of intelligence is also increasing, some time ago, the author went to Shenzhen, personally felt the actual performance of BYD Denza N7 in the urban NOA, after about 30 minutes of testing, Denza N7 without any obstacles, automatically avoided an experienced driver! Love. BYD has invested in a team of more than 4,000 automotive technicians, so BYD's development in the automotive field will be further accelerated.
In the experience of BYD's smart community, BYD exhibited a large number of smart products. In the case of four-way parking, as long as the vehicle locks the vehicle first and then turns the wheels into the appropriate position. In addition, many of its intelligent technologies, such as harbor-style parking, narrow passage assistance in narrow spaces, four-dimensional convenience + intelligence, make BYD's parking performance satisfied and recognized by many senior car owners.
As Academician Ni Guangnan said: "We must get the core things ourselves!" As an entrepreneur, Wang Chuanfu naturally saw it, Wang Chuanfu once said that BYD will invest 10 billion yuan in the field of artificial intelligence, and Wang Chuanfu wants to use his own technology to conquer the other half of the world!
Personally, I believe that pragmatic entrepreneurs such as Ren Zhengfei and Wang Chuanfu are the main forces to promote China's modernization! We used to be a great manufacturing country, a manufacturing base of a western country, and we made eight billion shirts for Western countries in exchange for an airplane; China, represented by high-tech companies such as Huawei and BYD, aims to eliminate backward productive forces and provide a decent job opportunity for thousands of its citizens.
