    The assembly shop was bustling with activity. These workers were all former Volga factory workers and had rich experience in vehicle assembly.

    The development model of Russia¡¯s domestic automobile industry is basically similar to that of China. Before the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, their automobile industry also implemented a rationing system for a long time. Later, a considerable amount of it was produced for civilian use.

    But when it comes to the research and development of car models, they are basically the same as domestic ones. They have been standing still for decades with little development.

    Later, after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Russia went through ten years of chaos. During these ten years, Russia's domestic political and economic structure was chaotic, let alone automobile research and development.

    After Putin came to power in 1998, he began to vigorously sort out the domestic economic context. Even so, the Russian automobile industry did not breathe a sigh of relief until around 2002.

    But at that time, some brands from Europe and the United States, such as General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Citroen, as well as Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and other car companies from Japan and South Korea, had begun to enter Russia and start to seize the market.

    In terms of design and R&D of the automobile industry, Russia is just like China at that time. It can be said that it is almost in a state of poverty. Facing the invasion of foreign automobile brands, they have almost no power to fight back and can only watch these things.  Foreign car companies are taking a huge share of their market.

    Volga and GAZ, the two prides of the Russian automobile industry, have also been awakened from their original dream of dominating the Russian market. However, they are also facing the siege of foreign car companies. They are powerless and can only watch the market share.  shrink.

    However, the situation in the Russian automobile market is better than that in China. That is, the national pride of the Russian people is very strong. Although the glory of the world's second most powerful country in the past is no longer there, people who hated the Russians have inherited the former Soviet Union.  The mentality of a natural world power.

    In terms of purchasing cars, although they know their own country¡¯s car products.  Both in terms of performance and quality, they are not as good as those foreign products, but they still insist on supporting their own products.

    This has resulted in a strange phenomenon, that is, although the models made by Volga are still ugly, their performance is still extremely poor.  However, they are still able to maintain their position as the market leader in Russia.

    "But the lives of the workers in Volga were not easy at that time. A large part of the workers were facing the same situation of being laid off as domestic workers.

    Fortunately, this cooperation with Huayang Power has saved a considerable number of Russian automobile manufacturing workers. A considerable number of these people have very good qualities, and their skills and experience are not bad in all aspects.  This cooperation with Huayang Power has created at least nearly 10,000 jobs for them.

    Seeing those skilled workers working on one model after another at a cycle of several minutes, Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh at the treasures left by the former Soviet Union to Russia. These well-trained workers are huge  Such wealth, it is precisely because of the pure presence of these skilled workers that Russia can ensure the industrial heritage of their nation.

    "By the way, Mr. Mohaylov. Can our production line currently meet the needs of the Russian market?"

    Jin Xiaoqiang asked casually. At this time, the assistant sent by the Volga Headquarters, Palyukin, who was standing next to the factory director Mohaylov, kept winking at Mohaylov. Of course, the Volga Headquarters  I communicated with Mohaylov.

    "Mistkin. You may not know how popular the joint venture brands we produce are selling in Russia. When we first cooperated, the maximum annual output set was 150,000 vehicles, but now we have received orders  It has been dispatched three months later. This is only an order for the European region of Russia. In the Far East, it is too far away and we can no longer cover it, so the higher-ups hope that we can talk about it when we meet this time. See  Let¡¯s see if we can expand some of our production capacity¡±

    Mohaylov smiles like an old fox, and the expression on his face can be said to be extremely flattering. After all, this person in front of him is a big financial backer. It is with his full support that Volga can achieve such results today.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, Volga's sales have always occupied the top spot in Russia's domestic car sales champion, but everyone knows it.  Volga is relying on a few old models to support itself. If this continues, sooner or later it will be hit by those foreign companies and go bankrupt.

    They also want to cooperate with companies like Volkswagen or General Motors, but the conditions set by these guys are very harsh, and??They also face the same dilemma as the Chinese joint ventures, that is, these foreign companies are unwilling to introduce world-class technologies to Russia. They are only willing to introduce some second-hand technologies, which makes the Russian people with a big country mentality  Feeling very unsatisfied.

    Coupled with the special nature of a large enterprise like Volga and the intervention of the Putin government, several joint venture plans between Volga and Western enterprises fell apart.

    In the end, Volga had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and find Citro?n, the world's second-class car manufacturer. But even so, the Russians felt very unhappy, because everyone knew that Citro?n's car manufacturing technology was not as good as the world's.  It can only be said to be second-rate.

    And what the French are best at is actually loan sharking!

    What they never expected was that at this moment, through the help of the president, Huayang Power, a suddenly rising Chinese automobile manufacturing company, actually came to their door.

    And after some assessment, everyone came to the conclusion that Huayang Power¡¯s technology is no worse than those of world-class car companies.

    ¡°Obviously the Russian people are also very aware of this, which can be seen from the popularity of Huayang Dynamics¡¯ models in the market.

    The originally designed production line with an annual output of 150,000 vehicles is completely unable to meet the needs of the Russian market.

    At this moment, Senior Vice President Palyukin, who came over from Volga Headquarters, also told Jin Xiaoqiang from the side.

    "Yes, Misterkin, you are not in Russia often, so it is difficult for you to imagine how much the Russian people love Huayang Power's products. Now due to insufficient market supply, many people often have to wait three months to place an order.  It took even five months to get the car, so many people have expressed dissatisfaction. We at Volga are very sincere and hope to expand the production line and produce more models to satisfy consumers."

    Palyujin and Mohaylov sang in harmony, and Jin Xiaoqiang vigorously promoted their ideas, but Jin Xiaoqiang was constantly calculating in his heart.

    Normally, in this first phase of the branch factory, Huayang Power did not invest much, but in some production lines, they provided part of the funds, and Volga took care of the rest.

    ¡°And after the factory was built, they just transported some core components such as engines and transmissions from China and handed them over here for the Russians to assemble.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? did not pay a lot, but this factory has been in operation for more than a year now, but it has brought me no less than 300 million US dollars in dividends. It seems that the Russian car market is really hot enough.

    It's just that Palyugin and Mohaylov are working so hard to promote themselves. To put it bluntly, they just want to increase the supply of core components to them. They want to increase production, but things are really going wrong.  Is it that simple?

    Jin Xiaoqiang did not rush to agree to the two of them, but took the lead back to the company's office. This is the management center of the factory. The environment is certainly much better than the noisy factory. There are people wearing suits and leather shoes everywhere.  White-collar men and women wearing skirts.

    Having entered the company's conference room, clerks soon brought fragrant coffee and tea. Mohaylov, Palyugin, and other senior managers from the factory took their seats one after another.

    "Tell me, what is the situation? The current domestic automobile market share in Russia is only more than three million vehicles per year. Although it has grown rapidly in recent years, it is not so popular?"

    Jin Xiaoqiang asked in a very indifferent manner, as if it was true that Russia's current annual car production is only this many, and it seems that it is not comparable to China. But remember, they only have a population of just over 100 million.

    ??It is simply impossible to build a large factory with an annual output of hundreds of thousands or even millions like China, unless you are a dominant company and monopolize the market.

    Although the Russian automobile market also grew rapidly in later generations, it was actually not as large as the Brazilian automobile market. By 2012, Brazil had actually grown into the fourth largest automobile market in the world, ranking only behind China, the United States, and  After Germany.

    Now the joint venture between Huayang Power and Volga has an annual output of 150,000 vehicles. Even if it is expanding production capacity, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that expanding to 200,000 vehicles is enough. If it is more, it is likely to cause  Mechanical idleness.

    So he believed that there might be something fishy going on in these two people¡¯s persistent advocacy to expand their production capacity and factories.

    Because if you expand a new factory, maybe like this time, you don¡¯t need to provide it yourself at all.There is too much money, but in the supply of engines, they must increase their efforts. In the manufacturing of automobile engines, Russia, like China, is also a lame player.  .  .
