The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 309: Father-in-law and son-in-law talk at night, the academic committee member is waving
"Xiao Jiang, I heard that the foreign affairs department and related departments are actively inviting the Arabs to watch our missile launch. Does this have something to do with you?"

As BMW X received a super large order, Jiang Hui returned to the capital to attend some meetings.

After Jiang Hui mentioned the export of military products to Zheng Haiming, the other party obviously took action quickly.

Before Jiang Hui left the capital, the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building had already taken action.

Zhu Jiansheng is now in charge of intercontinental missile launchers, and he cooperates very closely with various military industrial departments.

In addition, Capital University of Technology itself is a national defense-related university, so it is normal for Zhu Jiansheng, as the vice president, to be well-informed.

"I mentioned this to Minister Zheng, and I guess he has discussed this topic with relevant leaders."

"But missiles are high-end military products. It would be a shame if we didn't export them to earn foreign exchange."

"Of course, which missiles can be sold and which ones should remain secret is definitely something that needs to be carefully considered."

In Jiang Hui's view, in order to maintain the healthy development of the military industry, especially in the next decade or so when the focus is on economic construction and military-industrial enterprises receive relatively less funding, the significance of arms trade will be even greater.

A missile that costs one million RMB is sold for several million US dollars.

A missile that costs 10 million RMB can be sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

The world is so big, we can definitely find some buyers.

As long as a few orders can be completed in a year, it will bring huge benefits to the relevant companies.

There is no way. China's military-industrial enterprises are having a difficult time during this period.

"You're taking a risk."

"When things succeed, your contribution will be very limited."

"If anything goes wrong, someone will definitely say it was you who suggested it."

Zhu Jiansheng is a person who has lived through a special era, so he thinks a lot when thinking about problems.

He was worried that Jiang Hui would accidentally fall into a pit in the future, which was definitely not what he wanted to see.

"The situation has changed now, and I think the risk is still controllable."

"Besides, if they really want to sell missiles, especially sensitive medium-range missiles, the relevant departments will definitely conduct various assessments and reports."

"By then there will be higher-level leaders who will make the judgment, and nothing will go wrong."

Since Jiang Hui said so, Zhu Jiansheng didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

After all, if the missiles can be exported on a large scale, it will be good news to Zhu Jiansheng's intercontinental missile launcher project to a certain extent.

Only when China has more funds will it be able to research and produce more advanced missiles and need more missile launchers.

Otherwise, intercontinental missiles would be so expensive, and China currently does not have the strength to produce them on a large scale.

"During this period, we have overcome several technical problems of the ICBM launcher, and the production of prototypes is almost complete."

"There will definitely be no problem producing the first prototype within this year."

"When there are intercontinental missile launchers carrying missiles for strategic duty, the risk of selling medium-range missiles will be greatly reduced."

When the father-in-law and son-in-law talk about each other, they will inevitably talk about the project that Zhu Jiansheng is working on.

Although the confidentiality level of this project is still relatively high, Jiang Hui is the actual designer and solver of many technical problems, so there is naturally no need to keep the relevant progress secret from him.

"Compared with ordinary military vehicles, missile launchers have higher requirements for performance stability. Even if one of the 12 axles has a problem, we must ensure that the missile launcher can run normally."

"In terms of chassis transmission design, there really can't be any problems at all."

"As for the durability of parts, it is closely related to the performance of special steel and the heat treatment process."

“This aspect may require long-term and continuous improvement to achieve the goal.”

In the world, only the Polar Bear and China can produce intercontinental missile launchers in the future. There must be many reasons for this.

However, the difficulty in designing and producing this type of special vehicle is definitely a very important reason.

Otherwise, who wouldn’t want their intercontinental missiles to be carried on such a vehicle that can be moved anywhere?
No matter which country it is, as long as it has intercontinental missiles, it basically has nuclear weapons or other special weapons as support.

Otherwise, the deterrent effect of intercontinental missiles will be greatly reduced.

In order to maintain this deterrent force, it is particularly important to ensure that one's own missiles are capable of being launched at any time and at unpredictable times.

Otherwise, just like the first generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles of the Polar Bear, if it needs to be launched from a designated launch pad, the deterrent significance will be greatly reduced.

"That's true. The transmission system may seem insignificant, but it has to meet the needs of an intercontinental missile launcher, especially a twelve-axle launcher. The requirements are still very high."

"Even if you provided us with some design plans before, not everyone can perfect them."

"Fortunately, our department head of mechanical design and automation, Xiang Changle, is an expert in special vehicle chassis transmission systems. He is responsible for leading everyone to perfect your plans."

"Even so, we encountered quite a few problems with some of our parts during the production process."

"During this period, many professors in our school have been traveling around the world with their teams to solve various problems encountered in the production process of samples as quickly as possible."

You don’t know until you try it. Only after you try it will you realize how difficult it is.

Fortunately, when we were working on the Hummer military vehicle before, we encountered many problems and accumulated various experiences, which were all put to use this time.

This is very rare.

"It is indeed like this now, but after a dozen years or so, when we have accumulated production experience in various industries, the pressure will not be so great."

"The top leaders are giving priority to economic development, which is actually right."

"As the economy develops, all industries will develop accordingly, and relevant departments will also allocate more funds to military research institutes for research."

"And during this process, China will definitely introduce a variety of advanced equipment and processes. Although they may be used in civilian products at the beginning, they will definitely be used in military products in the end."

"For example, the development of our BMW Automobile and Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory will drive the development of the entire motorcycle and automobile parts supply chain."

"Steel, metallurgy, glass, tires, equipment and other industries will also develop together."

"Most of the supporting factories here are state-owned enterprises, and some are even military enterprises."

"In this process, it can ultimately feed back into the development of military products."

Jiang Hui inadvertently changed the topic to BMW and Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory, which were the companies he would focus on developing in the next few years.

In the past two years, Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Plant has contributed a lot of profits to BMW Technology.

It would certainly not be easy to convert this money into US dollars and bring it to the port city, and the First Ministry of Machine Building and other departments would definitely be unhappy.

Jiang Hui directly asked Fang Huihui to invest the profits in BMW cars.

Therefore, the planning of the BMW car in Shenzhen is very grand.

If the house is demolished in the future, that piece of land alone will be very valuable.

"Your BMW Light prototype has rolled off the production line. Can it really be put on the market for sale this year?"

Although he is very busy at work, Zhu Jiansheng is still very concerned about the situation of his son-in-law's company.

The most important thing is that the field that BMW is engaged in is Zhu Jiansheng’s old profession, and there is also some cooperation between the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering of Capital University of Technology and BMW.

In the field where he has been deeply involved, Zhu Jiansheng is still very influential and has a say.

"There shouldn't be any problem. As the first product of BMW, the BMW Light is designed to be relatively simple."

"We omit various configurations as much as possible to reduce the difficulty of development and parts preparation, while also lowering the price of the vehicle and making full use of the production capacity of our factory."

"Only when the output is increased can we better drive the development of other projects in the future."

Jiang Hui briefly explained the situation of BMW Light.

Including Hou Guoming, at the beginning, no one could quite understand why Jiang Hui chose the BMW Sunshine as his first car.

This path is somewhat different from that of any other automobile manufacturer, and is even more inconsistent with the Ministry of First Machine Industry's major policy of encouraging the development of the passenger car industry.

"Production is indeed a very critical factor. Some international vehicles have very rich configurations, such as ABS, airbags and various advanced equipment. The engine has directly entered the era of electronic fuel injection engines."

"But for the current domestic automobile industry, it still takes some time to successfully produce these things."

Fortunately, Zhu Jiansheng is not the kind of person who knows nothing.

It is precisely because he understands the current situation of the domestic automobile industry that he can better understand some of Jiang Hui's ideas.

"Yes, I have also learned about the situation of international auto parts giants during this period. I think that if BMW wants to grow and develop, it still needs the support of supporting parts giants."

"Although we may be able to solve some problems by looking for parts manufacturers such as Bosch, Continental, Denso, and Hitachi, we will suffer losses sooner or later if our core technologies are held by them."

"Besides, the price they are offering us is very high, and it requires the consumption of foreign exchange."

"So I asked someone to acquire a piece of land in Nanshan, Shenzhen, to build an auto parts base in the future."

"We also established Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. directly in Shenzhen, which is engaged in various research on automotive parts and equipment."

"In the future, Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. will become a global auto parts giant like Denso and Bosch."

Jiang Hui knows all too well the importance of the automotive parts industry.

There is still a huge gap between China's technical level in this area and that of the international level.

This gap cannot be made up in a day or two.

According to historical development, even in 2010, the gap is still huge.

The domestic situation in which vehicle manufacturers are valued and parts manufacturers are neglected is not so easy to change.

That is, in the era of electric vehicles, because China's electric vehicle industry is at the forefront of the world, domestic related parts companies have finally come to the fore and are able to show their strength.

If BMW wants to become a global automotive giant, it must have its own supply chain.

It is not necessary for 100% of the companies in the supply chain to have a shareholding relationship with Jiang Hui, nor do they necessarily need to be 100% Chinese companies, but at least the core component technology must be in their own hands, so that they can take the initiative.

Otherwise, talking about development is meaningless.

"The Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is developing some new engines and products, and BMW has set up a large booth over here."

"Now you are also starting to enter the auto parts industry on a large scale. Can you handle it?"

Zhu Jiansheng couldn't help but reveal a worried expression.

It is naturally a good thing that my son-in-law is very capable.

But Zhu Jiansheng was still quite worried about launching so many projects at once.

"We need to build the structure first. We can't do everything at once or start doing it on a large scale."

"Besides, given the current domestic situation, even if I want to do it quickly, there are still many difficulties."

"Not to mention other things, just recruiting can be fatal."

Jiang Hui thought about how much effort it took to poach a chief engineer from BMW Motors. It would definitely be a hassle if there were many more technicians to be poached in the future.

Having just emerged from the planned economy era, many people still have many concerns about jumping out of the system to work.

It will take time to resolve these issues.

"First, produce BMW's products, and then we can do other things step by step."

"As long as BMW's influence increases, the situations faced by other companies that develop around BMW will naturally change greatly."

I have to say that Zhu Jiansheng's judgment is very reasonable.

Whether it is prosperity for everyone or overflowing influence.

As long as BMW cars do well, Nanshan Technology and related companies such as BMW Motor and Peking Battery Factory will all be well.

"Dad, the intercontinental missile launcher issue has already been resolved. I think you should also take some actions to win the Chinese Academy of Sciences' academic and ministerial affairs."

"Only by standing on a higher platform can you better exert your influence and contribute to the development of China's military and automobile industries."

Jiang Hui has always been very active in pushing his father-in-law to move forward.

The higher the position of the father-in-law, the more likely it is that the operation of his related enterprises will become stable.

Otherwise, there will be a bunch of monsters and demons that will make it difficult for you to deal with them.
