Chapter 354 Sheep entering tiger’s mouth
"Automatic transmission is definitely the future development direction. The gap between our domestic technology and foreign technology is too big."

"When it comes to gearboxes, the relevant textbooks of various universities hardly contain any introduction to automatic gearboxes."

"Both the teachers and the factory are relatively unfamiliar with automatic transmissions."

"This situation is definitely not acceptable. It will be difficult to expect other factories to change in a short period of time. We will have to rely on Nanshan Transmission in the future."

"I originally wanted him to go to the Capital Gear Factory, but I don't mind if you laugh at me. I don't think the Capital Gear Factory can produce an automatic transmission."

Ji Hua fully agreed with Jiang Hui's statement.

As the chief engineer of the Capital Gear Factory, he is very clear about the situation of the domestic gearbox industry.

The level of their factory is already considered first-class in the country, but that's all.

His technical skills are quite solid, but he has never had much experience with automatic transmissions, so he has no confidence in doing innovative research and development.

To put it bluntly, he is not suitable for doing particularly innovative work, but is more suitable for performing some development tasks.

He had done a good job in advancing the 4MT manual transmission from drawings to reality.

"Chief Engineer Ji, Nanshan Transmission has just been separated from Nanshan Technology and is now leaderless."

"You have more than 4 years of work experience at the Capital Gear Factory, and you have presided over the production preparations for the MT manual transmission."

"Are you interested in coming to Nanshan Transmission to serve as the general manager? I will personally serve as the chief engineer to assist you in your work."

Now that the person has come to his doorstep, Jiang Hui definitely cannot miss the opportunity to poach him.

As far as the domestic situation is concerned, Ji Hua's gearbox level is already the highest among the people Jiang Hui knows.

In this situation, Jiang Hui had no better choice.

After Nanshan Transmission started to produce its own gearboxes, it was bound to be in competition with the Capital Gear Factory, and there were bound to be dirty things happening between the two parties in the future.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about when poaching people.

If Ji Hua hadn't sent his son over, Jiang Hui wouldn't have had much confidence in recruiting him.

After all, he was doing well in the Capital Gear Factory and his administrative level was not low, so there was no need for him to jump out.

But since he can accept that his son does not work within the system, the meaning is different.

"Director Jiang, although I have worked hard in the transmission industry for my entire life, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my understanding of automatic transmissions is still relatively low."

"Even if I come to Nanshan Transmission, the areas where I can help are limited."

Ji Hua did not refuse directly, but expressed his concerns.

The wages and benefits in Shenzhen are relatively high. Previously, many people from the capital came to Shenzhen to work in factories such as the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Ji Hua has heard about various wage and welfare situations.

Now Jiang Hui has personally invited him to be the factory director of Nanshan Transmission, so he is not really worried about the related material benefits.

"In the automatic transmission industry, no one in China has a very deep understanding of it."

"But once you understand the principle, it's actually not that complicated."

“I will personally participate in the development of 4AT and subsequent gearbox development.”

"But you also know that I need to be responsible for many factories including BMW. In particular, BMW is developing some new models, and I am simply too busy to handle it."

“So we really need someone to help manage Nanshan Transmission.”

"Especially the subsequent factory management and various tasks in the gearbox from drawings to mass production, we need people like you who have work experience."

Feeling the hope of poaching people, Jiang Hui's enthusiasm suddenly increased.

These days, it is really not easy to recruit someone.

Even though the salary offered by Nanshan Transmission is five or six times the original salary, many people are still unwilling to come.

Not to mention that Ji Hua is already in a high position, so one can imagine how difficult it would be to poach him.

In later times, let alone a five- or six-fold increase in salary, even if it only doubled, there would be a lot of people willing to change jobs.

"Director Jiang, have you made plans for the subsequent gearbox designs?"

"The development of a new gearbox is very costly and requires trying various solutions. The investment in various tooling and fixtures alone is very daunting."

"Not to mention the need to import advanced equipment to produce specialized gears, bearings and other parts, otherwise the performance of the gearbox will not be very good."

Ji Hua was still very interested in the topic raised by Jiang Hui.

At the Capital Gear Factory, he couldn't find anyone to discuss specific views on the development of the gearbox industry.

There is no technician who has better vision than me and dares to talk freely in front of me.

Now that he is in front of Jiang Hui, the situation is naturally completely different.

"The 5MT manual transmission must be put into mass production next year, and the 4AT automatic transmission must be successfully developed the year after."

"Later, the company will officially start the development of 5AT and 6AT automatic transmissions, allowing us to quickly catch up with ZF and Aisin in the field of transmission technology."

There are quite a few manufacturers of automobile gearboxes in the world, but not many of them are good at it.

ZF and Aisin are considered to be leading companies in the transmission industry, and many automakers in the world use their transmissions.

Especially for ZF, which has basically secured its position as the world's number one at this stage, and it is not easy to catch up.

Ji Hua, who was aware of the situation, became excited after hearing Jiang Hui's words.

If someone else said this to him, Ji Hua would definitely think that the other person was just bragging and would not listen at all.

But Jiang Hui is different. He designed China's first 4MT manual transmission during his college years. Now he is personally designing the 5MT manual transmission, and it seems that he is about to succeed.

It seems normal that they will achieve success in the field of automatic transmissions next.

Especially in the factories along the capital's automobile industry street, many technicians have witnessed Jiang Hui's professional level.

It can be said that Jiang Hui knows more about things related to the automotive industry, whether it is parts or equipment, than everyone imagines.

"If Nanshan Transmission can successfully develop 4AT, the First Ministry of Machine Building will definitely help you apply for a national award."

"If there are further breakthroughs in 5AT and 6AT automatic transmissions, Nanshan Transmission will have the potential to become a world-renowned transmission company."

"But to develop so many new products, we need a lot of technical personnel. It's definitely not possible for just the two of us." Ji Hua said this, and it was obvious that he was moved.

You don't have to worry about the salary, and you can participate in the development of automatic transmissions. You will definitely gain both fame and fortune in the future.

If I continue to stay at the Capital Gear Factory, it will be difficult to get better in the future except maintaining my current treatment and status.

Even when Nanshan Transmission starts selling the 5MT manual transmission to the outside world, it is estimated that the Capital Gear Factory will have hard times.

Considering that if he came to Nanshan Transmission, Ji Xia’s future development would definitely be more worth looking forward to.

No wonder Ji Hua was moved.

"In terms of developer recruitment, we are currently pursuing three main paths."

"One is to recruit some retired people from Japan and other places to work in Hong Kong or Shenzhen, learn some professional knowledge from them, and let them help train our technical talents."

"The second is to recruit people from various domestic manufacturing plants. Although the overall technical level of many plants is not very good, it does not mean that the technical personnel are incompetent. They just lack a platform to display their talents."

"So in the past few years we have been trying our best to recruit people, whether they are technicians or high-level workers, we want them all."

"For workers above level 4, no matter what job they are doing now, as long as they are willing to come, we will accept them."

"There is always a suitable position for him in one of the factories, including BMW Automobile, BMW Motor, Nanshan Technology, Nanshan Equipment, and Nanshan Transmission."

"It would be best if we could train our own talent. Even if they are just junior high school graduates, as long as they are willing to learn, we have night schools in each of our factories to provide learning opportunities for them."

"After learning, you can pass some internal examinations in the factory and have the opportunity to increase your salary or change your position."

"It happens every now and then that some workers are directly transferred from the production line to the technical department."

Since Ji Hua is worried about the lack of talent, Jiang Hui must give a detailed introduction to the BMW Group's talent policy.

The company is not wealthy now, but it is definitely very wealthy in China, so Jiang Hui is willing to spend money whether it is poaching or training employees.

"Director, I would very much like to have the opportunity to learn advanced gearbox design technology from you."

"I will submit my resignation letter when I return this time, and try to officially start work as soon as possible."

Since he was already interested, Ji Hua no longer hesitated and agreed to join Nanshan Transmission.

If I come here now to be a veteran, and when Nanshan Transmission grows stronger, I, as the first factory director, will definitely leave a significant mark in the history of Chinese automobiles.

This is something he values ​​very much.

The most important thing is that he hopes to make Nanshan Transmission bigger and stronger through the efforts in the next ten years, and also let his son Ji Xia get sufficient training, and then in the future his son may even surpass his father.

This is something Ji Hua cares about particularly.

"Welcome to join us, Mr. Ji. I'll have the HR department contact you about the specific benefits and arrangements."

There is no need for Jiang Hui to say anything more to Ji Hua about the treatment.

Given the current domestic salary level, Jiang Hui doesn't need to be stingy with anything.

……

"Dad, you sent me here for an internship, but I ended up quitting my job. Isn't it a bit risky for both of us to leave the system?"

When resting that night, Ji Xia spoke out everything he had been holding back all day.

He himself is a person who likes adventure and is more innovative.

In addition, his family conditions were good and he didn't need to work routinely, so he was willing to come to Shenzhen to join Nanshan Transmission.

But my father’s situation is different.

"Given the current momentum of BMW, there is no need to worry that Nanshan Transmission will not be able to develop."

"Besides, BMW Technology also has a joint venture factory in China, the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory. It is now the largest motorcycle factory in the country. Last month, its production exceeded 50,000 units, making a lot of money."

"The most important thing is that Jiang Hui's technical ability is very strong. So far, I have not seen anyone with better skills than him, and there is no one who can even compare with him."

"In the field of gearboxes, your father and I have also studied it for a lifetime, but compared to Jiang Hui, there is no way we can compare."

"He is responsible for many factories and does not have enough time to focus on the gearbox. If I go over to help manage it, it will definitely bring me both fame and fortune."

"When 4AT and 5AT are developed, I, as the general manager, will definitely take credit for the contribution."

"Not to mention that during this process, our understanding of automatic transmissions will be greatly improved, and our professional level will rise significantly."

Ji Hua naturally had nothing to hide in front of his son, so he just expressed his thoughts directly.

"You're right. I heard countless stories about Director Jiang when I was in school."

"Principal Zhu Jiansheng is said to be Director Jiang's father-in-law."

Ji Xia obviously has some understanding of his senior brother Jiang Hui.

"It's not just said, it's the truth!"

"Even the new BJ212 and Hummer military vehicles that President Zhu helped design at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant were actually led by Jiang Hui, but the honor was given to President Zhu."

As an insider in the industry, Ji Hua has been dealing with Jiang Hui for a long time.

Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant is the Capital Gear Factory's main customer, so Ji Hua can find out all kinds of information.

"Principal Zhu's current achievements are so outstanding that he will probably be promoted to work in a ministry in the future. Jiang Hui also has a very good relationship with the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building. The future development of the factories he is in charge of is still worth looking forward to."

Ji Xia is now more confident about joining Nanshan Transmission.

"BMW Technology is a Hong Kong-funded company that has invested in a series of enterprises in China, including Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing, BMW Automobile, BMW Motor, and Nanshan Transmission. It is considered the largest foreign-invested enterprise in the industrial field."

"And Zhu Lin, the general manager of BMW Technology, is the daughter of your principal Zhu Jiansheng."

Since his son was about to start working, Ji Hua naturally had to tell him all kinds of information.

This also has an impact on Ji Xia's attitude and confidence in daily work.

"So BMW Technology is actually Director Jiang's industry?"

This was obviously the first time Ji Xia had heard of this situation and he was really shocked!
