Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

"Mr. Cao, in response to Ford and General Motors jointly launching 9AT and 10AT, we are going to arrange a series of tests."

"This includes in-car VOC testing, crash testing, fuel consumption testing and durability testing."

"In addition, we are planning to do a special disassembly and comparative analysis of the gearbox series."

"The models tested will focus on the best-selling models from Changan Ford and Modu GM."

"We will also announce this news in advance before testing."

Yu Yu is very clear about the impact that GM and Ford will have on Nanshan Transmission by producing their own high-end gearboxes.

In this case, how to make Ford and General Motors scruple is a very important issue.

In the American market, Autohome can do very little.

But in the Chinese market, Autohome can do a lot.

As long as they are not stupid, GM and Changan Ford will be able to read something from Autohome's advance announcement of car test projects and target models.

Normally, unless it is a project that they are good at, the OEM will definitely not want their models to be tested and compared.

In particular, this kind of test is conducted without any participation, and no one knows what the final result will be.

Even in these tests, it is difficult to say clearly whether Autohome has done anything.

In short, everyone in the automotive industry knows that when it comes to testing and comparison, the pit is quite deep.

If you are not careful, some car companies will fall into the pit.

"There are actually many quality problems with the models of GM and Changan Ford, and there should be a lot of complaints from consumers."

"We can also collect and prepare relevant information in advance, and even disclose part of the content to them."

Cao Yang is not a good man or woman.

He definitely hopes to at least keep orders from GM and Changan Ford. After all, the sales of these two car companies are still considerable, and they have made some contributions to Nanshan Automobile Group.

Whether you use coercion or inducement, or show off your muscles, don't switch out my parts easily, otherwise I will be rude.

Use the sword when it's time to show it. The Sword of Damoris hanging over Shanghai General Motors and Chang'an Ford will definitely be effective.

Cao Yang believes that Modu GM and Changan Ford should also be able to get this signal.

"Well, we have already started preparations for this and it should be completed soon."

"Changan Ford also has two new SUV models on the market this year. They definitely don't want to have any problems."

Both GM and Changan Ford have relatively high expectations for the Chinese automobile market.

But the actual market competition is very fierce, so even these automobile giants are extremely careful and try their best.

"I hope they can understand us, otherwise we will be rude!"

When Cao Yang said this, he was also thinking that Nanshan Hongqi needed to increase the progress of research and development of new models.

The sales volume of Nanshan Hongqi this year is very good, and it has successfully entered the first-tier independent brand.

Now it is fully capable of continuing to rush upward, and let everyone see the effect of the combination of Spring City Automobile Group, a giant with policy advantages, and Nanshan Automobile Group, a giant with technological and marketing advantages.

That lethality is definitely enough for everyone to drink a pot.

Not to mention other things, just the fact that Nanshan Hongqi is now taking the initiative to attack the official car market has hurt many car companies.

After all, the market in this area is really too big.

No matter which car company it is, it is a big piece of fat.

……

"Austin, I heard that the purchasing center at the headquarters held a video conference with our purchasing department yesterday and are considering using the 10AT produced in the Detroit factory for our domestic Cadillac and Excelle models in the future?"

As the deputy director of the sales department of Modu General Motors, Su Huasheng is actually in charge of the sales business of Modu General Motors.

He is definitely very concerned about the changes in public opinion on the Chinese Internet.

After the series of actions taken by Autohome, the marketing staff of GM were naturally quickly aware of the crisis.

Whose car doesn’t have any problems?

Anyway, the people in Modu General do not have this confidence.

If you are subject to some targeted tests, or even deliberately compare a model that is relatively strong in a certain aspect with your best-selling model, the results will definitely make you uncomfortable.

Similar things have actually happened in the past.

Su Huasheng didn't want to see it again.

"Although 10AT has been successfully developed, it will still take some time to mass produce it on a large scale."

"Of course, it will take a certain amount of time to match the applicability of each model."

"In the early days, the priority was to meet the needs of the Detroit factory."

"But it will definitely be gradually extended to Magic City Universal in the future."

There was nothing to hide from this information, and Austin shared it directly with Su Huasheng.

However, Su Huasheng obviously had more things to consider.

"Our current 10AT is purchased from Nanshan Transmission. If we switch to a self-developed transmission, it will either be imported from the United States or a factory will be built to produce it in China."

"But no matter which option is used, the final cost is likely to be higher than it is now."

"Is it possible to consider not changing the gearbox at Modu General Motors?"

If Austin can be convinced from a cost perspective, that would be the best thing.

After all, from other perspectives, it is actually more difficult to quantify, and it contains a lot of personal speculation.

"We can produce gearboxes ourselves, but we continue to purchase them from outside. I guess the headquarters will not easily agree to this plan."

Austin was the head of General Motors' purchasing center before, and he has a good understanding of General Motors' work style.

Even after bankruptcy and reorganization, many things within General Motors have not changed.

"The situation in China is quite special. Many things have Chinese characteristics and need to be specially considered."

"As the world's largest automobile market, the level of competition in the Chinese market is actually very high."

"Nanshan Automobile Group is a completely unavoidable presence in China's automobile industry."

"Almost all China's independent brand car companies purchase major components such as engines, gearboxes, and ESP from Nanshan Automobile Group."

"And Autohome, China's largest professional automotive media, and Weibo, the largest social media, are both affiliated companies of their group."

"Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for companies that are at odds with Nanshan Automobile Group to develop well in China."
