Chapter 934 The two heavens of ice and fire, reap the consequences

"Mr. Cao, Xifeng Automobile Group should be more experienced in missile launch vehicles. Can we also consider cooperating with them?"

Although Zhao Siyu is also very confident in Nanshan Automobile Group, after all, it is something that has not been produced before, so it is normal to find an experienced manufacturer to cooperate.

Anyway, they are all developed for use by relevant domestic departments. Some things do not necessarily require you to do them all yourself.

"We don't need it for the time being. We already make hard-core off-road vehicles. We already have the technology for all kinds of parts. Now we just need to integrate them into the missile launch vehicle."

"Especially high-power diesel engines, this is our advantage project."

"Maybe the aerospace science and technology company will also purchase missile launch vehicles from us in the future."

Although the sales volume of special vehicles such as missile launch vehicles will not be very high, it is still very meaningful for improving the technological content and brand image of Nanshan Automobile Group.

It's not a loss-making business anyway, so Cao Yang thinks it can still be done well.

Seeing that Cao Yang had already made a decision, Zhao Siyu did not dwell on the issue anymore.

After everyone discussed other arrangements, the project named "Red Flag-20" air defense missile system by Cao Yang was officially launched within Venus Technology.

The time set by Cao Yang for everyone is very tight, requiring the first test launch to be completed before the end of next year, and the installation of relevant departments to begin the year after that.

This speed is definitely very challenging.

Of course, as long as the money is in place, engineers can be very productive.

Working day and night, the workload in a week is equivalent to that of an American engineer in a month, which is normal.

After thinking about it this way, this development time does not seem so unreasonable.

……

Cao Yang has been busy at Daystar Technology during this time.

However, there are so many companies in the Nanshan Group, so it is naturally impossible to really ignore the affairs of other companies.

Zeng Tingting seized the opportunity and reported to Cao Yang the latest situation of the automobile market.

"Mr. Cao, in the past August, the share of independent brands has declined for three consecutive months."

"Except for a few companies such as Nanshan Hongqi whose market share is increasing, the sales of Chery, Great Wall and BYD are all declining."

"On the contrary, the sales of Spring City Volkswagen, Modou Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are increasing, and even the sales of Shenlong Automobile are also increasing."

Obviously, the information reported by Zeng Tingting was not normal in her opinion.

Due to the frequent use of various means to suppress joint venture car companies, the share of joint venture car companies has continued to decline in recent years.

Not to mention the abandoned GM and Changan Ford, the sales of Hyundai and Yueda Kia have continued to be sluggish, and the sales of several Japanese car companies have also not increased.

Under such circumstances, the market share of several independent brands actually declined.

Although this may be because the previous base was relatively high, so the decline occurred, Zeng Tingting still felt that it was a bit abnormal.

In particular, she knew very well that Cao Yang attached great importance to the development of his own brand.

So even though Cao Yang was busy, she asked Mi Ying to make an appointment for an hour to report on the changes in the automobile market.

"To what extent have Nanshan Hongqi's sales reached now?"

No matter how close relatives are, they will definitely not be close to one's own children.

Nanshan Hongqi owns 40% of the shares of Nanshan Automobile Group, so Cao Yang is naturally very concerned.

"Sales in August have exceeded 8 vehicles and have been growing steadily."

"This performance means that Changan Automobile can compare with it. Even if other independent brands have higher sales than it, the trend is incomparable."

Zeng Tingting was naturally very concerned about Nanshan Hongqi.

She knew that Cao Yang hoped to build Nanshan Hongqi into the highest-selling car company in China in the future.

If we simply rely on Spring City Automobile Group, this matter will definitely be futile.

But if Nanshan Automobile Group is willing to give full support, the situation will be difficult to say.

"Things must go to extremes. Independent brands have developed rapidly in recent years, but this has also enriched the ideas of some car companies."

"No one wants to see a situation where most of the profits are taken away by Nanshan Engine, Nanshan Transmission and Nanshan Auto Parts Group."

"But even after so many years, the engine technology they produce is still not very good."

"The reputation among consumers that we have finally managed to operate has declined sharply in the past two years."

Cao Yang was not surprised by what Zeng Tingting reported.

After all, many independent brands now have very radical ideas. They have launched many models at once, and then they want to break away from the influence of Nanshan Automobile Group and start to use more and more parts from their own or other suppliers.

This will definitely affect the quality.

Ultimately, it will affect consumers’ reputation.

Although Chinese consumers have always had a relatively poor understanding of automobile knowledge, information about poor quality is exposed every now and then.

This may be fueled by international automobile giants such as Volkswagen and Toyota, but most of them are still unsatisfied.

"Yes, I also think this should be the main reason."

"But there is another reason that cannot be ignored, and that is the reform of official vehicles."

Zeng Tingting came up with a new point of view.

"Official car reform?"

"Yes, in July this year, relevant departments announced a reform plan for official vehicles. In the future, many official vehicles will be canceled and replaced by subsidies and other methods."

After Zeng Tingting said this, she immediately added: "After this reform, there will be many more people in relevant departments who buy cars by themselves, but when these people choose between independent brands and joint venture brands, they will often consider buying joint venture brand models. "

"Especially the models of Modu Volkswagen and Spring City Volkswagen are very popular among these people."

"After all, the influence of Santana, Jetta and Audi A6 in the system in the early years was really too great."

"Now it's their turn to buy a car, and many people choose Volkswagen."

"So the sales growth of Volkswagen in the north and south was the fastest in August."

I have to say that Zeng Tingting's explanation still makes sense.

Volkswagen still has a very high status in the hearts of many people in relevant departments.

This concept cannot be changed in a day or two.

Even if independent brands have performed well in the official vehicle market in recent years, there is no way to change some deep-rooted ideas in a short time.

"The sales of most joint venture car companies are declining, but Volkswagen is rising against the trend. We cannot let them make a bad start and ruin the entire situation."

Although Volkswagen has also been easing relations with Nanshan Automobile Group in the past year, the two parties have begun to carry out more in-depth cooperation on electric vehicles.
