The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 285 The more old wizards, the better. We can also go to Hong Kong City.

After the official signing, Jiang Hui finally had some time to accompany Zhu Lin in Japan for a few days.

As an island country, Japan has a very rich seafood.

However, what impressed Jiang Hui the most was not the various tuna sashimi and whale sashimi, but the milt of pufferfish.

The so-called pelvic follicles of pufferfish are the testicles of pufferfish.

It is delicate, rich and smooth in taste.

The roasted white fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making you want to order another serving after eating one.

"When will the appearance of the city in the capital be the same as that in Japan?"

Zhu Lin's sigh is probably something that all Chinese people of this era can't help but express.

However, Jiang Hui's views are definitely a little different from those of ordinary people.

"The cities in Japan now look modern with tall buildings, but in a few decades, most of the buildings will still look like this."

"And everything has its limits. Japan has developed very fast in recent years, even surpassing America."

"Do you think America will allow Japan to develop so rapidly?"

"Let's not talk about other industries. Take the automobile industry for example. Because Toyota, Honda and other Japanese automakers export too many cars to the United States, General Motors and other automakers have seen their sales decline and even suffer losses."

"Then the relevant departments in the United States immediately took action, requiring Japanese automakers to set targets for themselves and limit the export of models to the American market."

"This is just the beginning. There will be more actions coming out from the United States in the future."

Jiang Hui knew about China's development in the future. Now that he had his own butterfly, at least in the automotive industry, China's development speed would definitely far exceed that of the previous life.

The automobile industry is an industry with a very long industrial chain.

From raw materials such as steel to various electronic components, they are all closely related to the automotive industry.

As long as China's own automobile sales and automobile technology can be rapidly improved, it will inevitably drive the rapid development of the entire industrial chain.

The development of other industries will indirectly promote the rapid development of other industries.

For example, if cars can be produced very well, then producing various home appliances will naturally not be that difficult for many factories in China.

Some equipment that could not be produced before will gradually be researched by factories due to market demand.

Especially with the development of the private economy, the changes in all walks of life will definitely be huge.

In the past, during the 1980s and 1990s, China’s technological accumulation was too weak, and it was mainly engaged in low-end business such as clothing and textiles.

These businesses are definitely worth continuing. After all, these industries are labor-intensive and are very beneficial for solving employment problems in China.

However, while developing labor-intensive industries, technology-intensive industries must not be missed.

Jiang Hui plans to use automobiles as a link to drive the development of a series of related industries.

Later in the process of state-owned enterprise reform, we can consider merging some factories to allow BMW AG to develop rapidly in the direction of BMW Group.

"I see a lot of different car models and brands on the streets of Japan."

"China has a larger population than Japan. If China can develop to a similar level in the future, wouldn't the annual automobile production in China really be able to reach tens of millions of vehicles?"

In 1981, Japan produced 1100 million vehicles, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest automobile producer.

Japan has poured all the resources it can mobilize into the automotive industry.

At this time, Japan's automobile industry siphoned off a considerable amount of talent and capital, making Japan the country after the United States and Germany with automobile industry as its pillar industry.

In 1980, the number of people employed in Japan related to the automobile industry reached 493 million, accounting for 10% of the country's total employed population.

The output value of automobile production also accounts for about 10% of the entire manufacturing industry.

It is obvious that Japan is deeply tied to the automotive industry.

In terms of technology, Japanese car companies have also mastered the core technologies of the three major components: engine, chassis and gearbox, and are committed to improving engine performance and continuously improving reliability.

Coupled with the help of two oil crises, Japan's automobile industry has completely stood at the forefront of the world.

It is no wonder that after Zhu Lin spent some time in Japan, he was deeply impressed by the level of development of the automobile industry there.

"You are right. In the future, China's automobile production will definitely reach a scale of 20 to 30 million vehicles."

"And this is based on internal consumption. If we can export on a large scale like Japan, then it is possible for China's automobile production to directly reach 40 to 50 million vehicles."

Only Zhu Lin would believe Jiang Hui's words.

Others probably don't believe that the Chinese automobile market will be that big in the future.

"In 1970, Japan's automobile exports were only about 100 million units, but by 1980, the number had surged to 597 million units."

"This data set a new record last year. Starting this year, it is expected to remain at a high level due to the US economy."

"It is equivalent to more than half of the cars produced in Japan being exported to all over the world."

"If we extrapolate based on this ratio, if China's auto industry can achieve a similar level in the future, it will be a very exaggerated number."

Zhu Lin quickly imagined the scene in his mind, and he dared not think about it any further. It was too exaggerated.

However, after seeing the speed at which factories were being built in Shenzhen, she felt that what Jiang Hui said was not impossible to happen in the future.

For example, in Japan, Zhu Lin and Jiang Hui also saw some construction site scenes when they were shopping.

To build a simple residential building, there are a bunch of workers directing traffic, washing the land and doing other tasks. The speed of construction cannot be compared with that in Shenzhen, and the cost is definitely much higher.

As time goes by, the gap in urban development between the two sides will surely continue to narrow, and the difference in overall economic development will also continue to narrow.

"That's right, so BMW Technology established BMW Automobile in Shenzhen and will develop automobiles as its core industry in the future."

"Through the development of the automobile industry, we can drive the development of the parts industry, the equipment industry, and even the raw materials industry."

“Eventually, we will further expand into other related industries, so that BMW Automobile can become BMW Automobile Group and become BMW Group.”

"The products we will produce by then will definitely not be as simple as the BMW Sunshine, and our competitors will not be domestic factories such as FAW and Second FAW, but international auto giants such as General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen."

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Hui also discussed with Zhu Lin his future plans and development ideas.

……

When Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin were traveling in Japan, Fang Huihui and the others were not idle either.

Although Austin flew back to America on the third day after signing the contract, he privately introduced the director of Suzuki Motor Production Headquarters to Jiang Hui and others.

Regarding BMW Technology's desire to invite some Suzuki engineers to provide guidance and training on assembly and maintenance of the production line, the other party also provided a very constructive plan.

"Director Jiang, although these Japanese engineers have retired, they are generally in very good health."

"By inviting these people to work at BMW Technology or serve as consultants, it will be more valuable than directly hiring young engineers."

While Jiang Hui was still here, Fang Huihui specifically reported to him about BMW Technology's next move.

That is the training and recruitment of professional talents in the automotive industry.

Naturally, the easiest way is to poach people from various auto giants.

But among the real talents, I guess few would be willing to come to an unknown car company.

On the contrary, if retired engineers are willing to give it another try, the threshold for poaching them will be much lower.

"Are you planning to hire a large number of retired Japanese engineers?"

Although Jiang Hui doesn't like Japanese people, he will not hesitate to take advantage of them when it comes time to do so.

If these retirees are valuable, he certainly won't refuse them.

However, according to his understanding, few foreigners are willing to work in China now.

Everyone's impression of China is still at a relatively bad stage.

Even in the 1990s, some foreign companies’ personnel who were sent to China received some special subsidies in addition to the normal subsidies.

This is similar to the way in later generations when Chinese people were arranged to go to Africa and other places with additional subsidies.

Of course, once everyone gradually discovers the benefits of China, the situation will be completely different.

Some people from Japanese companies were assigned to China, and after their term of office was over, they didn't want to go back.

"Yes, I think we can hire a large number of engineers responsible for production line process design and quality management from Japan."

Fang Huihui gave her reply very affirmatively.

“Are they willing to work in Shenzhen?”

Jiang Hui was relatively familiar with the Japanese. He knew that even though these people appeared to have a relatively friendly relationship with China on the surface, they actually still looked down on China in their hearts.

“I think many people would not want to live in Shenzhen directly; but if they live in Hong Kong and go to Shenzhen for work a few days a week, there are still many people who can accept it.”

"We can even open some training courses in Gangcheng so that people from Shenzhen factories can come and learn."

Since Fang Huihui came to report this plan to Jiang Hui, it was obvious that she had a clear plan.

Jiang Hui naturally fully supported her plan.

"Okay, let's arrange it according to your idea."

"As long as their requests are not unreasonable, they can be met."

"We can take this opportunity to expand the office scale of BMW Technology in Hong Kong, which may be of some additional use when expanding overseas markets in the future."

There is definitely a lot worth learning from the old masters of Suzuki Motor as long as they are willing to use their skills.

While they are working, people are worried that they will teach their apprentices too much and starve themselves to death, so they may not be so attentive.

After retirement, there are no such concerns, and perhaps better results can be achieved.

By then, BMW's on-site management, quality management, production process management and other things can be aligned with Japanese car companies, and then some adjustments can be made in the future based on China's own situation.

In this day and age, having a foreigner teach domestic workers can sometimes produce better results.
