Text Chapter 4042 Transformation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Huaxia Automobile took over Saab, it immediately transformed Saab.  This kind of transformation does not mean hardware. It does not mean that we immediately start modifying the production line and immediately start producing completely different products. It does not mean that we immediately carry out various decorations and modifications to Saab's Swedish headquarters.  After all, really speaking, we have taken over Saab now, but we only took over it when everyone turned a blind eye. In theory, the property rights of Saab are not in our hands yet.  It's like buying a second-hand house. Even though the agreement has been signed and most of the payment has been paid, the owner is more forthcoming and handed over the keys to us. But we can move in and start decorating it right away.  It's best not to do anything like that. After all, the ownership hasn't been transferred yet, and it won't be easy to explain to the property management later, right?  Isn't it troublesome that the property management company still has to deal with construction waste, and when I go back and find out that the owner is not the one responsible for the decoration?

    So what kind of transformation did China Automobile carry out after taking over Saab?  That is the software transformation that Jia Hongjian promised before, and certain changes in Saab's internal staffing.  how to change?  This change does not mean firing a group of people or hastily recruiting a group of people. Such a modification is actually quite breaking the rules. After all, the property rights of this company have not been handed over to us, right?  So what kind of changes did Jia Hongjian make?  In fact, it is very simple, just to change some departments within Saab!

    For example, the R&D department in Saab Company used to conduct technical research and development for Saab itself.  Then, such an R&D department is really in a state of being small and well-equipped. A R&D team of only a hundred people in total is actually divided into a powertrain technology R&D department, an architecture safety R&D department, and a driving safety R&D department.  Departments and other departments, it can be said that everything from the engine to the gearbox, to the vehicle dynamic stability system, and the safety architecture of the body itself are studied.  To be honest, seeing this kind of task distribution of the R&D team, Jia Hongjian felt that it was simply unacceptable for such a company to be at a loss!

    Why do you say that?  Because even though a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.  Although it usually sounds like a compliment, in fact, when it comes to companies, it is really not a compliment!  Why?  Because of the size and scale of an enterprise.  Then it depends on how many things you have to do. There is a close relationship between size and what you can do.  If we want to use an analogy, this is like the industrial category in a country. With the size and basic structure of superpowers like China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, there is the potential to develop the most comprehensive industrial system.  These three countries have the ability to operate the most comprehensive industrial system, that is, everything can be manufactured domestically without having to deal with other countries!

    But small countries are different, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Even though they were once extremely powerful, if they are allowed to develop a comprehensive industrial system with complete independent funding like China, the United States, and the Soviet Union, they really can't afford it!  Even if France, under the leadership of de Gaulle, decided to fully revive their glory as a great power, they would separate themselves from NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and maintain their independent status between the United States and the Soviet Union.  At the same time, there was no quarrel with either family.  Under such a situation, France wants to develop a variety of military equipment of its own, instead of relying on buying it from other countries such as the United States.  Therefore, the French have to invest in the development of their own tanks, they have to invest in the development of their own fighter jets, and they even have to invest in the development of nuclear bombs!  Then when the United States and the Soviet Union both had super large strategic bombers that could deliver nuclear bombs at long distances, France really couldn't develop a strategic bomber. They could only develop their own fighter-bombers, and then install nuclear bombs on the fighter-bombers and drop them!  This is an eye-opener for France, and it is smarter, if the French guy can't change his mind.  Just to develop its own strategic bomber, let alone whether it can be developed, how much pressure will it put on the French economy just by investing in research and development funds?

    ¡°At the same time, there are also things like aerospace and rockets, which are really up to now.  The only countries in the world that are capable of commercial rocket launches are Europe, China, Russia and the United States!  No other country has this ability!  Even Japan and South Korea do not have this kind of strength, and even the United Kingdom must rely on Europe and the United States!  If these countries that are not big enough insist on developing their own rockets, then they will have to spend an unknown amount of money on it, which will have an immeasurable impact on their economy!

    ? Same.  Various large car companies can set up R&D departments for various equipment, and they can research and develop the technology of every part of the car. Then they can afford it!  But if a small company like Saab, with a historical peak production and sales of only 150,000 vehicles, really wants to develop all technologies, it will really increase their R&D costs and greatly increase their costs.  Corporate pressure!  To put it bluntly, just to develop these technologies, their companies assume they can make money.Otherwise, half of the annual profit might be spent on it!  What's more, this company can't make any money!  This kind of technology research and development has always cost money, and it has never been said that you can do more with less!

    Therefore, no matter who becomes Saab's biological father, no matter who buys a company like Saab, as long as Saab is allowed to do such comprehensive research and development after buying it, Saab will definitely continue to lose money!  As for a company like Saab, it is very rigid and pays attention to its own company's traditions. The Swedish R&D personnel in each company are as hard as the permafrost under the Swedish road. They don't care about it at all.  Stop the General Group¡¯s order to stop research and development!  So how does Jia Hongjian solve the problem on Saab's side?  In the previous communication process with Saab white-collar workers, Jia Hongjian had promised not to weaken Saab's self-research and development capabilities, nor to weaken Saab's R&D investment.  Although Jia Hongjian did not agree to turn Saab into an independently operated sub-brand, a sub-brand that had nothing to do with Huaxia Automobile except that the boss was Huaxia Automobile, Jia Hongjian persuaded him with the following design  Such a group of picky Swedish designers and engineers turned Saab's R&D center into the R&D center of the entire Chinese automobile!

    That¡¯s right, since Saab¡¯s R&D center does not match the size of their own company, there are naturally two solutions. One is to simply close or weaken Saab¡¯s R&D center, and the other is to simply strengthen it!  After strengthening Saab's R&D center, decoupling the Saab brand from the R&D center, and turning the R&D center into the European R&D base of China Automobile, wouldn't it be great?  In this way, the funds needed for this R&D center are directly allocated by the head office, that is, China Automobile, and there is no problem at all for China Automobile to be responsible for such an R&D center!  At the same time, after the Saab brand is decoupled from such an R&D center, it can concentrate on manufacturing and sales without having to invest in R&D. At least this way, the books will look much better, right?  It is even possible that after such a separation, the company can turn losses into profits in the first quarter. Even if it cannot turn losses into profits, the amount of losses will be greatly reduced!

    At the same time, of course, the various achievements developed by this European R&D center are not related to Saab. Of course, Saab has priority in using various developed technologies. After all, Saab will be a high-end sedan brand under China Automobile.  Of course, it has the priority to adopt various high technologies!  Just like Tesla, as the electric high-end car brand of China Automobile, it is naturally qualified to obtain priority use rights of various high technologies!  In this way, Saab itself will not be affected. Isn't this a change that is good for everyone?

    In fact, this is because Saab and Huaxia Automobile complement each other exactly, so that they can achieve the effect that a slight change can benefit both parties.  But GM cannot achieve this effect. GM itself is the world's automobile giant, and its own R&D capabilities are very strong. Why does it need Saab to develop it?  It may even seem to others that over the past few decades, Saab's R&D results may only be a few that GM finds interesting and can learn from, while most other technologies are not as good as GM.  On such a basis, they would definitely not be happy if GM accepted Saab's own investment in research and development every year, resulting in various losses!  This is like a small noble declining and then marrying a big noble.  The daughter of a small aristocratic family married into a large aristocratic family. Then the daughter of the small aristocrat felt that her mother's family was a noble, so every year she had to get some money from her husband's family to subsidize her mother's family, so that her mother's family could maintain their aristocratic status.  But in the eyes of your husband's family, you may not necessarily think highly of it. They may also think that you, a small noble, have settled down and lived an honest life.  Even if you are a noble, you should stop it a little bit. Spending money every year to show off is not the level of a small noble at all. What does this mean?

    ¡°But Saab and Huaxia Automobile are completely different together. Huaxia Automobile is equivalent to a rising star capitalist family. It has made a lot of money but has no foundation.  Marrying a girl from such a small aristocratic family, I am willing to make arrangements for the other party's family, so that I can bring myself into the aristocratic circle, and also improve my background, so that my side can  Wouldn't it be nice to no longer look like a nouveau riche?

    Originally, Huaxia Automobile became big in the Chinese market because of its marketing. Huaxia Automobile originally had no technical reserves. It mainly relied on the fact that foreign car companies did not pay attention to the Chinese market and seized the opportunity to soar.  .  Now, foreign car companies are paying more and more attention to the Chinese market and will compete more and more with Huaxia Automobile. It is also time for Huaxia Automobile to set its sights overseas and explore overseas markets.  Under such a situation, although Saab's sparrow has a complete R&D system, isn't it just right for China Automobile's appetite?  (~^~)
