The domestic automatic transmission will not be able to be produced after ten years. On the surface, it is due to factors restricted by three aspects.

The most often mentioned one is patents!

You should know that those European, American and Japanese ghost animals are not ordinary bad. An automatic hydraulic transmission often requires hundreds of parts, and they can apply for patents for all of these hundreds of parts.

When you produce, you often cannot avoid the patents of some parts. After all, many parts are conclusions drawn after repeated tempering.

If you produce a copy of one, you will be sued for their patent.

The other two factors are the material and the other is the processing accuracy.

In terms of materials, the main reason is that the gears, bearings, and other components in the transmission often need to work continuously in high temperature and high corrosion environments, so special steel must be used.

In this regard, it has always been a shortcoming in China. After all, materials science is the basis of all scientific research, and in this regard, we have never done it properly.

Large state-owned enterprises have money, talents, and conditions, but they just don’t invest. After all, the investment in research and development materials is large and the cycle is long. The leaders in charge are all political personnel, not scientific researchers.

They pay more attention to their political achievements during their tenure than their scientific research achievements.

So they prefer to purchase with short cycles, and when purchasing, they can also get kickbacks...

Processing accuracy has always troubled us. If you want to ensure the working life and stability of the gearbox, you cannot avoid this problem.

Not to mention, the hydraulic oil circuit on the hydraulic valve of a transmission and the twists and turns of the ravines are particularly difficult to process, and the accuracy must be ensured. Without a qualified processing machine tool, this alone will be difficult for you.

So even after more than ten years, the production and processing of this automatic transmission has always been the main problem that has plagued many domestic automobile companies.

But if you say it is difficult, it is not really difficult. It mainly depends on whether you have perseverance and whether you are willing to devote yourself to it.

This can be seen from later BYD that as a private automobile manufacturer, in order not to be choked by foreign parts suppliers and to challenge the domineering foreign automobile companies in the domestic market, they gritted their teeth and increased their investment and focused on research and development.

People don’t care about any patent, difficulty, or investment. They are willing to do so.

What was the result? In just a few years, people created their own dual-clutch transmission.

After a survey, Volkswagen came to the conclusion that this transmission is actually a counterfeit dual-clutch transmission, and it has only been adjusted in some microstructures.

But so what? Have you seen the public sue BYD?

FAW, which cooperated with Volkswagen, secretly used the 1.6-displacement engine used by Volkswagen's Santana twenty years ago, Volkswagen snatched FAW's face without hesitation.

But when it comes to BYD's reverse development of their dual-clutch transmission, they can only choose to act deaf and be dumb.

Because they know that when they sue BYD, they will not win at all. They are willing to sue you. In China, you will fight such a lawsuit, just like abroad. If there is no administrative interference from superiors, they can fight you for ten or eight years. Even for more than ten or twenty years, they may not necessarily have a result.

So what about this trick? BYD is not FAW. It has no cooperation with you Volkswagen and is completely out of line.

How do you get stuck? They built their engines themselves, developed the chassis by Japanese auto dealers, and even created automatic transmissions. How do you get stuck? Where can you get stuck?

So the public can only accept it!

This is a typical example of the success of reverse counterfeiting. As long as you truly master the core technology, he will have no choice but to do anything to you!

There is another typical example of the failure of the reverse copycat, that is, the Great Wall.

In order to squeeze out the mid-to-high-end market, Great Wall reversely developed the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz M series and then launched its own mid-to-high-end SUV model H8. At the beginning, the Germans didn't take it seriously.

However, after the launch of H8, it became very popular. As soon as it was launched, it received thousands of orders and was about to gain a foothold in the mid-to-high-end market.

When the Germans saw it, this is amazing? You should know that the mid-to-high-end market is their usual monopoly on the chassis!

They can see the power of Great Wall in the low-end market, so they will never allow Great Wall to come to this market to disrupt the situation.

What to do? You are stuck in your neck and you are stuck in death!

The gearbox of Great Wall's H8 came from ZF. Then the Mercedes-Benz people called a few times, and ZF immediately notified Great Wall, sorry, our gearbox production capacity is limited, your order will be waiting, maybe it will take one year or two, or two years, or two years before the goods will arrive.

If you don't want to, then we will give you a refund.

Great Wall was stunned for a moment, but he could only swallow the one and cried by himself. The listing of H8 was unlimitedly postponed.

This is a typical example of not mastering core technologies.

Li Yifan has taken over Chenhua Auto now, so he will never allow it. If his car company encounters such a situation, it is not his style of being stuck.

If you want to copy it, then just copy it directly. As long as you master the three major items of cars, you will not be afraid of suppression by foreign car dealers.

To be a disruptor, you must be fully prepared.

Now that I have time to start research and development from scratch, I have made up my mind. It would be fine if I don’t do it, but if I want to do it, I will make a bigger deal.

Anyway, I have money now and I am willing to give up money, so I don’t believe it. If the money is spent, I can’t even hear a splash.

When doing scientific research abroad, it is often more than one billion US dollars, especially for large projects like gearboxes. When foreigners generally promote externally, they will say that we invest billions of US dollars when we are working on XXX projects...

This number alone shocked the people who didn't know the truth later, especially the Chinese who just joined the WTO. Many people regard foreigners as golden rules.

Damn, look, they are really willing to invest more than one billion to build a gearbox. At our level, how can this little money be a waste?

Forget it, when I go back, I send two boxes of apples and two boxes of oranges to take a shower and go to bed!

In fact, this is not the case. You should know that there is actually a lot of water in the data of foreigners.

For example, if he invests 800 million, he dares to brag about 1.8 billion for you. Otherwise, how can consumers pay for it?

So you have to make your investment bigger and make consumers believe it. Damn, the investment is so big, it is really high-end!

In this way, when you launch a new product, they will pay the price by 10,000 or 20,000 yuan each.

Moreover, if you boast about the higher the funds invested in R&D, you can also reasonably avoid taxes. The Taxation Bureau will investigate the accounts and report this to the top. Anyway, there are many accounts and scientific research is a consumption project. The people in the Taxation Bureau do not understand scientific research, so they cannot find it clearly.

In this way, the company can quietly make some of its revenue profits, and use the name of R&D without paying taxes.

On the other hand, even if they invested 800 million, how many of them were used for research and development?

You should know that the salary of foreign scientific researchers is not low. Ordinary scientific researchers, even if they do odd jobs in the laboratory, have to start with an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars this year. The annual salary of those who are no longer named can be 70,000 to 80,000, or even more than 100,000. Therefore, foreigners are actually investing in research and development.

In fact, it is good to have half of the materials and mechanical equipment that are actually used in research and development.

At this time, you don’t have to worry about such problems at all. The salary of domestic scientific researchers these days is very low.

A scientific research graduate from a first-class university in China has a salary of only 100,000 yuan, which is only a little more than 10,000 US dollars.

This is also the main reason why foreign scientific research companies have opened laboratories in China in recent years. The salary of scientific researchers is low, so that a large amount of basic and tedious scientific research work can be handed over to Chinese people.

If you do scientific research and don’t use such a large talent market, you can simply be struck by lightning.

The foreigners' scientific research investment of billions of dollars can scare many domestic leaders and scientific researchers who don't know the truth, but they can't scare Li Yifan.

I am rich, and the domestic scientific researchers are not expensive, so I can afford it.

Your decades of accumulation and research, right? You have studied more than 100 R&D personnel, right?

I can also use the tactics of the sea of ​​people to flatten you. If you use more than 100 people, I will use more than 1,000 people. The salary of these more than 1,000 people may be less than that of the staff in your research institute in a year.

Besides, my buddy is not short of money now.

What a bullshit patent? I don’t care. I just reversely develop it. If you have a genital, you can sue it. It depends on whether you can sue it or not. If you have a lawsuit, I will accompany you.

If I don’t have this kind of spirit of being generous, I might as well play tricks.

Do you think you can scare me away by setting patent thresholds? Stop dreaming!

Li Yifan's unswerving aura really shocked Zhou Yuanchao. He was indeed a little worried about patents, but now looking at the boss in front of him, he completely treats patents as nothing!

In the long run, this attitude is very unfavorable to the development of science and technology. After all, without patent protection, everyone is waiting to copy others. Who is still working hard to do research and development?

But in terms of the current environment and the industry they are in, Zhou Yuanchao likes Li Yifan's attitude very much. He even feels that these words are domineering!
