reborn in the fiery age

Sun Zujie accepted the welcome very skillfully. When he returned to the hotel, Yang Xi said with some emotion, "The Wa people are so polite this time!"

"Hehe, if you are polite to others, you must ask for something. It's not that Wa has never seen the Nobel Prize. I guess they have something they want to talk to him about?"

Yang Xi laughed after hearing this, "I recalled the scene when we first came to Japan, and you were such a disappointment!"

"The same East Asian country has the same number of paths. If I don't understand it, of course I can guess it!"

On the second day of going to Japan, Sun Zujie delivered a speech at Wakyo University. He thanked all walks of life in Japan for their warm reception and said a lot of friendly words.

He focused on his concept of high-tech industry development, and praised the Japanese consortium model, saying that it fits the development model of East Asian countries in the catch-up stage.

It's just that Sun Zujie also criticized the Japanese country in his speech. He believed that the small and medium-sized enterprises in the Japanese country did not have much room for development, which restricted the economic innovation of the Japanese country.

In addition, Sun Zujie believes that Japanese companies are too obsessed with doing their own thing, wanting to formulate their own rules of the game, and are unwilling to share technology and patents with other countries. However, the domestic market of Wa country is not large, and doing so is very likely to be excluded by big countries.

Listening to Sun Zujie's speech, the Japanese political and business people sitting below began to discuss quietly, "Kawamoto-kun, what do you think of Sun Jun's comments?"

"Sun Jun may hope that our country will be more generous in technology transfer, but his opinion, I think there is some truth to it.

In recent years, we have rarely seen companies like Sony rising rapidly. On the contrary, there are many more companies in the United States, and even Chinese people have Tianyi Group. This is worth thinking about! "

"Kawamoto-kun, although what you said is very reasonable, the country of Wa is just a barren island country. If it wants to grow and develop, it must be united. Besides, we also have some good small companies, such as Nintendo. The development is very good."

Kawamoto nodded to express his approval, and then Mr. Watanabe asked, "Kawamoto-kun, you didn't just come here this time to listen to the speech, right?"

"Of course, I want to meet Sun Jun and persuade him to support Honda's entry into Huaguo. Mr. Watanabe, you should have the same intention."

"Huaguo people are too cunning. They have no bargaining chips and insist on creating chips. This makes us very embarrassed! We must break that damn joint venture policy!"

Chapter 593 Helplessness and Anger

Different from the previous life, after Sun Zujie's blending, Huaguo's domestic car development strategy has undergone tremendous changes.With the up-and-coming Huaxia Automobile, Huaguo executives still have a great demand for excellent joint venture cars, but they are not so impatient.

Originally, Japanese cars were not in such a hurry. After all, the two countries were too close, and Japanese cars could continue to enter China through various methods, especially illegal means such as smuggling.

But after Huaguo Customs tried to rent a few planes, they suddenly found that although the propeller plane flew very slowly, it was very effective in dealing with smuggling.

Therefore, the General Administration of Customs and the Air Force jointly formed an anti-smuggling flight brigade. The emergence of such a flying brigade affiliated to the central government has a great impact on coastal smuggling and severely suppressed the smuggling of Japanese cars. You can see the car.

Of course, the smuggling of tens of thousands of cars with a maximum of 10,000+ cars a year is blocked. In fact, the impact on the Japanese automobile industry is not great, but the thinking of the Japanese people has changed.

Some far-sighted Japanese automakers, such as Kawamoto, the president of Toyota Motor, and Watanabe, the president of Mazda, suddenly realized that after this smuggling road was cut off, wouldn’t the Chinese people not see other companies other than Toyota in the future? Japanese car?

If you can't see the advanced cars of the Japanese country for a long time, how can the people of the Chinese country buy the cars of the Japanese country?At that time, even if they can enter Huaguo, the price they need to pay to open up the market will be even greater.

This possibility alone makes them feel that it is necessary to enter Huaguo. They don't need to invest in advanced models, as long as they retain their presence.

However, Huaguo's strategy of "one strong, three big and three small" plus the fact that the automobile head office has not been vacated, has resulted in the difficulty for various automobile companies to enter Huaguo.

Huaguo only allows six car companies to have joint ventures. Now the American emperor has three companies, and the U.S. government has one each. This does not represent the automobile landscape of the world at all. The U.S. auto companies are much better than the U.S. imperial cars, okay?

The people of the Wa Kingdom have studied the Hua Kingdom very deeply. They know very well that if they cannot make a breakthrough from the center, they can also make a breakthrough from the local area, but they soon found that they hit a wall.

Although the local government is very willing to make joint ventures with Japanese auto companies, the central government also has very strict control over local car joint ventures, and will not approve them as long as they are close to cars.

For example, Suzuki cooperated with Great Wall Motors of Huaguo very early on in microcars, but when Great Wall Suzuki wanted to launch a hatchback car in the name of microcars, it did not get the approval of the central government.

With the completion of the joint venture between Ford of the United States and Guangzhou Automobile, the attitudes of the remaining major automobile factories in Japan are different, and the prophetic Honda and Mazda are finally anxious.

But Mitsubishi is different, they are old gods, after all, their trucks and engines are selling well in China; Suzuki doesn't care too much, their mini cars are also very profitable; as for Nissan, let's wait for them to sort out their own Let's talk about internal issues.

Since the place can’t be opened, we have to find a way to open up the relationship between people, so Mr. Kawamoto and Mr. Watanabe came to participate in Sun Zujie’s speech. They planned to meet with Sun Zujie and have a detailed chat, trying to persuade Sun Zujie to push Huaguo people to change the joint venture policy.

Because there are various indications that Sun Zujie formulated and promoted Huaguo's current automobile strategy, and Huaguo's automobile industry has achieved quite good development in the past ten years.

Now that Sun Zujie has become a Nobel Prize scholar again, it is conceivable that he will have a higher and higher status in the industry and academia in Huaguo, so as long as he is persuaded, it is very likely that Huaguo will change its policy.

However, the two also knew very well that Sun Zujie could be said to be a master if he could turn a bad song into what it is now. It is very likely that he deliberately suppressed the advanced Japanese cars in order to force the Japanese to transfer more technology.

Therefore, the attitudes of Mr. Kawamoto and Mr. Watanabe are a bit complicated. There is an urgent need and they are very unwilling. The people of Huaguo can use this method to force them to transfer technology. It is really angry and helpless!

In fact, a vice president of Toyota was also listening to Sun Zujie's speech at this time, which was different from other Japanese people who were somewhat disapproving of Sun Zujie's award.

Vice President Jin Tian admired Sun Zujie’s foresight and insight. It is not surprising that such a person won the Nobel Prize. The reason is very simple. Recently, Toyota’s researchers accidentally discovered that the Chinese people have taken the lead in the development of the next generation of cars. A first move, it's incredible!

The matter starts with Toyota's G21 project. Although environmental problems such as resource scarcity, greenhouse effect, and air pollution did not seem serious in the early 90s, Toyota found through research that after entering the 21st century, these problems will cause many problems. social issues and have an impact on the automobile manufacturing industry.

So not long ago, Kanehara Shuro, who was the vice president of Toyota at the time, launched the G21 project and began to explore the development of automobiles in the 21st century. The goal was to design a new model with fuel economy 1.5 times higher than the average performance of traditional cars at that time. Come.

After screening, the G21 project team headed by Uchiyamada and Toyota's top management finally established a solution centered on hybrid power after a period of discussion. The hybrid power system was named Toyota Hybrid System (THS), which means It is necessary to subvert the previous form and carry out innovative development!

However, compared with other solutions such as EV, the biggest advantage of hybrid power is that it does not require the support of external facilities, but it can greatly increase fuel economy to twice;

It converts the energy of vehicle braking, deceleration and low-speed operation into electric energy and stores it in the battery; when the vehicle accelerates at full speed, the electric energy drives the motor to provide additional power for the vehicle to achieve stronger power performance.

For customers, this means that they can enjoy a different driving experience than before without changing their existing vehicle usage habits.

However, when the G21 project team searched for international patents, the researchers were surprised to find that the concepts related to THS had already been pre-registered for patents.They are not surprised if the relevant concepts come from developed countries in Europe and the United States. They are surprised that these patents come from China.

Shocked, Toyota Motor immediately conducted a major investigation of Huatou's patents in the automotive field. Soon Toyota found out that it was in big trouble. Huaguo people actually built a series of patents around THS. Can't get around.

At the same time, Huaguo people are also making unremitting efforts in the field of traditional internal combustion vehicles, and have applied for many patents around next-generation vehicle technologies, including turbocharging, including dual-clutch and so on.

Through the application time of these patents, Toyota found that most of these projects should have started in the late 80s, but until now the Chinese people have not actually applied these technologies.

On the one hand, this shows that the Huaguo people have a poor foundation, so they have a lot of problems to solve; but at the same time, it shows that the Huaguo people are on the right path. Once these technologies are broken through, the Huaguo people will be like the modern cars of the Southern Dynasties. rise rapidly.

Therefore, President Jintian admires Sun Zujie very much. Huaguo people have such a strong foresight on the future trend of the car industry, and have made a lot of progress. There is no doubt that this is the same as the personal talent of Sun Zujie, chairman of Huatou. Inseparable.

Of course, President Jintian came to listen to the speech not only to express his admiration, but also to negotiate with Sun Zujie for a patent exchange. He believed that the bargaining chips offered by Toyota, which has a deep foundation, would be enough to satisfy the Chinese people.

President Jintian believes that with Sun Zujie's excellent leadership, Huaxia Motor will surely rise, but President Jintian also believes that Huaxia Motor will need a long time to accumulate if it wants to reach Toyota's level.

Therefore, before the Huaguo people complete this accumulation, they are far from Toyota's opponents. In this case, there is nothing wrong with transferring and exchanging some technologies now.

Of course, President Jintian is very clear that his idea is helpless. If possible, he is absolutely unwilling to exchange patents with the Huaguo people. No one is willing to cultivate a new competitor, even if it is as powerful as Toyota. Not to mention that the opponent is still a Chinese!

Chapter 594

Although these three top people in the Japanese auto industry wanted to meet Sun Zujie, they were not the first to talk to Sun Zujie, because Sun Zujie needed to meet the former Japanese Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party Noboru Takeshita who came to listen to the lecture in person.

After Kakuei Tanaka suffered a stroke in 1985, Noboru Takeshita was the successor of the Tanaka faction, the largest faction in the Liberal Democratic Party. Therefore, Noboru Takeshita's status in the political circles of Japan at this time was very important, and for a while he could even be described as the Supreme Emperor.

Of course, the Japanese political arena at this time is very interesting, because the Liberal Democratic Party, which has been in power for decades, has lost power.

But at this moment, Takeshita Nobo was not so confident, and Wa country was in the biggest trouble since World War II.Internationally, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Russia, the US imperialists plundered the Japanese economy more and more.

After the Japanese bubble crisis was burst, the major banks suffered heavy losses. Even so, the US emperor continued to demand that the Japanese currency be appreciated. In addition, it continued to rectify the Japanese electronics companies. The result of this tossing was that the Japanese manufacturing industry suffered a serious blow.
