Zhang Leping was told not to get too excited. Han Songlin's gaze rested on everyone, and he could clearly feel a change in their spirits.
This sent Han Songlin into deep thought. It seemed that he had done a lot of this kind of 'boosting morale' stuff.
Han Songlin didn't just talk about it, he also gave everyone a boost, and the treatment followed suit.
At this time, if he were to say that the future car market belongs to a large blue ocean, with great potential and big profits, would that seem out of place?
Han Songlin pondered for a moment, then his eyes twinkled as he thought of how to put it: 'The domestic car market is now dominated by joint venture and foreign cars! This is an abnormal situation. Although foreigners have brought some technology to China, the technology they have given us is all outdated. They use their outdated technology to make money recklessly in our country.'
Han Songlin was a little angry when he talked about this, and he was also indignant that they were not fighting for it.
'Instead of letting outsiders make money, we at Fuxing Industry should be making it. Only by making more profits can we continue to invest more in research and development and one day surpass foreign countries!'
In terms of automotive technology, there is still no saying that there is no chance of surpassing them.
Many future technologies are just getting started now.
For example, the electrification of automobiles is just getting started. Fuxing Industry has invested heavily in this area.
As for intelligent cars, the concept is naturally not yet available, but Fuxing Industry is already researching in this direction.
Han Songlin really doesn't understand technology, but he can describe to the R&D staff the effect he wants to achieve with the technology.
Very often, technology is just a bubble that can be punctured with one stab.
However, due to people's thinking habits and misunderstandings, many bubbles are not punctured.
Then, many technologies seem to be particularly difficult to achieve, but in reality they are just so-so.
Zhang Leping quickly agreed: 'Yes, I think the boss is right. We mustn't let foreigners make all the money. We must build vans and sedans that the people can afford!'
Yang Zixing found it amusing that Han Songlin and Zhang Leping were really singing from the same hymn sheet.
'Boss, we have no experience of researching vans and sedans. First of all, we lack the technology for the chassis. It would take a lot of time to do research and development.'
Fuxing Industrial has a lot of experience in chassis development! But they are all non-load-bearing chassis used on trucks.
There has never been any formal development of load-bearing chassis.
It would be very difficult to develop it completely on our own! It would take at least a year, and don't even think about being able to come up with something.
Han Songlin pondered slightly: 'In other words, technically speaking, the chassis is the most difficult for us?'
Yang Zixing: 'Yes, as long as the chassis problem is solved, the other problems will not be a problem.'
Yang Zixing still had some confidence in himself.
Was it really the case that all the research and development costs at Fuxing Industry had been wasted? Obviously not. With research and development investment, there would naturally be a build-up of technology.
Truck technology was very different from that of cars, but there were also many common technologies.
With a little modification, they could be used in cars.
'What do you need?' Han Songlin didn't waste any words. Since he knew where the problem lay, he just needed to solve it.
In any case, a car chassis is a must.
'If time is tight, I suggest we purchase chassis technology outright and then carry out secondary development based on it. If there's no rush, we can start from scratch, which is not impossible.'
Han Songlin tapped the conference table lightly, torn between the two options.
Naturally, he would prefer to develop the technology completely in-house, but doing so would be time-consuming and labour-intensive, with many uncertainties. A delay could mean years before any results were seen.
If we wait a few years, will it be too late for Fuxing Industry to enter the field of civilian passenger cars?
He looked at Zhang Leping, who also looked at Han Songlin. They looked at each other, speechless.
Zhang Leping felt that he had to say something: 'Boss, I think we can start at the same time. First, we should set up the team and do some preparatory work, such as reverse engineering the chassis of cars from foreign car manufacturers.'
Reverse research is not just about copying. In this world, many countries are not even capable of copying homework, let alone being qualified to do so.
Han Songlin had never really thought about reverse research before.
Looking at Yang Zixing, he thought that copying others is a bit harsh, but in the world of late industrial countries, who didn't start with a copy?
There is nothing wrong with being a copycat, but the problem is that if you keep copying, you will never be able to surpass the original.
Hans country copied Britain and France back then, and eventually became famous for its industrial quality.
The island country also copied, and became famous for its industrial sophistication.
As for the United States, the same applies. If it weren't for the fact that after World War I and World War II, it gained a large number of European, especially Hans country, scientists, the industrial products of the United States would not be so good.
From this perspective, Fuxing Industry must take the road of being a copycat!
Of course, while making money by copying, one must not neglect self-developed technology research and development, and it must be continuously strengthened.
'Cough, cough, there is no problem with reverse research. In the past, we have conducted reverse research on some models.' Yang Zixing did not think there was anything wrong with reverse research. A scholar would never steal!
Research, this is called research, in order to promote technological progress.
Zhang Leping was a little surprised: 'We have conducted reverse research?'
Why did he have no recollection of this?
"Just some young people, using their spare time to do research for fun.'
As Yang Zixing spoke, apart from Han Songlin and Zhang Leping, everyone else looked a little strange.
This was hardly research for fun. They had bought back a number of cars, dismantled them all, and then slowly put them back together again.
Han Songlin's mouth curled up slightly. He guessed.
Fuxing Industries is very flexible when it comes to managing the R&D department. As long as you complete your own R&D tasks and use your personal time to research something else, the company doesn't care and is even very supportive.
As for the technology researched, the company is also very generous, directly buying it with cash or the developer getting a technology bonus.
Because the resources used in the research process belong to the company, the company and the developer split the profits 50-50.
Do you think the developer gets too much?
Han Songlin doesn't think so, because the acquisition of this technology was an unexpected bonus for the company.
Han Songlin has never felt that the results achieved by employees in their personal time also belong to the company.
Moreover, because the company is so generous, many people will think of ways to develop new technologies to see if they can be used.
