We all know when the car was invented, but when did the car enter China?

The one that the foreign devils dedicated to Lafayette was definitely not the first one.

It is generally believed that by 2031, domestically produced cars had appeared in China.

Note, we are talking about domestically produced cars here.

However, it was not until 1956 that China's automobile industry truly became a large-scale industry.

The shabby motorcycle factories and various automobile factories that the Red Star Factory passively took over from Jingcheng Industry were products of that period.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Beijing's industry. The development of the times has inevitable trial and error characteristics. If we are so cautious, society will not need to develop and change.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China until this year, our demand for automobiles was mainly for military use and industrial and agricultural transportation.

Therefore, the national automobile industry that emerged during the Great Leap Period was mainly based on trucks.

This is also an important reason why No. 17 Factory worked hard to win Jiefang brand cars.

Including No. 17 Factory, domestic automobile manufacturers have adopted or imitated or borrowed methods in different load levels to launch domestic trucks.

Li Xuewu learned this very thoroughly when he proposed the Antelope car.

The Antelope was born out of the Willys field jeep. It has excellent off-road performance, but some of its technologies are too old.

So after replacing and updating some technologies, Willis immediately glowed with a different youthful vitality.

It's just like a woman using hyaluronic acid. She's still the same person, but she feels fresh when she uses it.

Why is the Red Star Antelope so popular? Even though it is an imitation with hyaluronic acid, it has still become a car product that many units are flocking to.

In addition to the low price, the most important reason is the serious lack of Jeep brands in China.

Let's put it this way, you go on a blind date, and there are two girls. One is 18 years old, but weighs about 200 pounds, and is so ugly that she could kill you on her butt. The other is 38 years old, with high technology on her face and a slim body.

Looking beautiful, which one do you choose?

The reason for this embarrassment is that the great strides period focused on productivity tools and ignored the functional needs of other cars.

Of course, there were also a small number of passenger cars and off-road vehicles produced during this period, and sedans were mainly used as official vehicles, so the output was relatively small.

At that time, the most imitated cars of all types were Maozi products, but there were also many models that were imitated from countries such as China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, etc., from a wide range of sources.

When Li Xuewu first came back, he didn't pay much attention. He only thought that the cars on the road were very flashy.

After the Security Department began to cooperate with the Technical Department in the car maintenance business, he studied it carefully and also learned from Xia Zhongquan.

The more you study and observe, the happier you are.

You see, the front of the car is from China, the roof is from France, the butt is from Italy, and the engine is smashed by a ghost...

Let's put it this way, even if the designers of these cars come here, they will have to doubt their lives when they see these put together cars.

IWC cars are no joke, this brand really exists, but they are from Chou Country, International Harvester (let’s see, I remember it’s spelled this way).

Li Xuewu explained to Gu Weijie, what era was it before the Hongxing Factory held a supply chain conference?

Yes, everyone still remembers that it was the Spring and Autumn Period.

So are there any subdivisions going forward?

Li Xuewu believes that the period of great strides that began in 1956 was also a watershed for the domestic automobile industry.

The end of the great strides was what he called the barbaric era of the automobile industry 60 years ago, and the Spring and Autumn Period after 60 years.

In the context of the barbaric era, every province, important city, and even districts and counties with strong industrial capabilities established their own automobile manufacturing plants.

If you do the math on your fingers, we are still talking about a car manufacturer, not an auto parts factory or repair shop.

There are so many! So many that when Li Xuewu looked at the list of automobile industry industries in the material, he felt that China's automobile industry had surpassed China's.

However, without Shaqi's explanation, he himself knew that a large part of the companies on these lists had ceased to exist in name only.

Among the business and industry representatives invited this time, there are many former automobile industry managers or engineers.

Why do you say it was once?

Quite simply, the Great Leap has been determined to be a failed attempt in the course of history.

It rises due to policies and falls with policies.

After the great waves wash away the sand, what remains is the backbone of the automobile industry.

It's very simple to say, just four words, big waves wash away the sand, but this process is very painful and painful.

Just like the transition from the barbaric era to the Spring and Autumn Period in historical times, many companies fell and never stood up again.

They are also imitating excellent foreign car brands, but domestic technical reserves and automotive engineers are uneven.

The capital and the capital city have absolute technical strength, and the preserved automobile industry is also complete.

On the list in Li Xuewu's hand, the largest number of vehicle factories were in Beijing and Shanghai.

The more famous ones include Fengtai Auto Repair Factory, Jing Automobile Factory, Jingcheng Second Automobile Factory, Jingke Factory, Jingmo Factory, Fourth Auto Repair Factory, etc.

In Shanghai, there are SAIC, Shangke, Shanghai Electric, automobile decoration factories, agricultural machinery manufacturing companies, truck manufacturers, etc.

Do you think that Beijing Automobile, Beijing Automobile and SAIC are more famous, and the others are just boring, right?

Yes and no, the difference is not in the size of the factory and manufacturing capacity, but in the R&D capabilities.

Why is Jingcheng Automobile Factory so awesome?

Because it can produce cars, trucks, jeeps, and even support the construction of automobile manufacturing plants in other cities.

Just for the 212 car, many small factories are copying it.

This kind of ambition and strength cannot be matched by Red Star Factory.

Of course, the Hongxing Factory's automobile manufacturing plant is a tertiary industry and is responsible for its own profits and losses, which is not the same as the Beijing Automobile Factory.

They really want to stop supporting us, but what they get is the policy, so they have to do this.

Because companies are currently not allowed to go bankrupt in China, industry will intervene and assets must be protected.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, the barbaric era was still able to move towards the Spring and Autumn Period in a very stable state.

In the process of resource integration, that is, the process of transition from the barbaric era to the Spring and Autumn Period, it gradually went through elimination, mergers, and acquisitions, forming a situation of one large, four small, and one large group.

Needless to say, the first one must be the No. 17 Factory. This is the birthplace of the domestic automobile industry and the foundation of the national industry.

The No. 17 Factory was established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, mainly to produce the Jiefang CA10 medium-sized truck and the Hongqi CA72 large luxury sedan, which were imitated from the Maozi Zis150.

In the early days of its establishment, No. 17 Factory mainly focused on technical cooperation and imitation with Maozi. Later, it formed a relatively strong independent research and development capability.

It must be mentioned here that many automobile industries, including the Second Automobile Industry Corporation, were actually built with the support of the No. 17 Factory.

Its R&D and production capabilities are terrifying, and it is also the company that Red Star Factory hopes to cooperate with most at this supply chain conference.

Because Factory No. 17 is located in the northeast, Hongxing Factory is also preparing to build a warehouse-style supply chain in Steel City or Fengcheng.

The main service target of the machining enterprise cluster headed by Fengcheng No. 1 Machinery Factory is the industrial supply chain of Hongxing Factory.

If he could get orders or parts support from Factory No. 17, Lao Li would immediately call Jing Yunong in Fengcheng and ask her to acquire land to build a warehouse and start the project.

But both Lao Li and Xiao Li know that this goal is difficult to achieve.

Think about it, it is so cautious and difficult for Beijing Automobile Factory to turn around, let alone an important weapon of the country.

However, it is difficult to sign a large project, and there should be no problem in testing the water on small projects.

In yesterday's exhibition, Li Xuewu could clearly see that the leaders from the No. 17 Factory stayed at the booth for a relatively long time.

Listening to the feedback from the instructors, the leaders and technical engineers of the No. 17 Factory asked the most careful questions and received the most comprehensive materials.

He even compared materials and stood next to the Red Star Antelope car to discuss the feasibility of supplying parts one by one.

Therefore, Li Xuewu focused on them on the morning of the next day, when the results of supply chain companies were displayed.

Let’s talk about a big pile of one large, four small ones.

After the first one has finished talking, it is not difficult for everyone to guess the four small ones, which are Nanjing Automobile, Beijing Automobile, Jiqi Automobile and SAIC.

The strongest among the four small companies is SAIC, which was established based on the automobile decoration factory left over from the old city and merged the internal combustion engine parts factory, the automobile chassis factory, the truck repair shop, and some other small factories.

The main products are the Modu brand SH760 sedan, Fengsheng brand tractors and industrial and agricultural walking tractors.

It’s funny, actually SAIC also produces tractors, just like Ferrari.

So don’t think it’s too retro and cool when you see those idiots on a certain channel driving a Ferrari tractor to a 4S shop for maintenance.

If you drive a Fengsheng brand tractor or a worker-peasant walking tractor to a SAIC 4S shop for maintenance, then I will say you are impressive!

Because you can buy a Ferrari if you have money abroad, but at this time in China, even your ancestors can't buy it!

Hehe, when you think about it, do you think that the identity verification that Rolls-Royce used to do and not sell cars to non-kind people is no longer interesting?

In fact, just like the girl, after the window paper (membrane) is punctured, it is worthless.

Look at those big Internet celebrities who have become famous. Is it difficult to buy pants after making money?

The reason is as simple as this. It was hard to get a penny out of my pocket before, but now I want what I want!

It plays on the purchasing psychology of the poor who are eager to express themselves after becoming rich. It can be regarded as a sense of satisfaction with emotional value.
