The sales of Fiat 600 are very hot, and even some people who have no contact with me want to come over and buy some new cars.

San Jose seemed to have entered a new world.

He worked in the smuggling industry.

In the original import and export smuggling trade, he still had many channels and made his first pot of gold.

When the United States first blocked Argentina, he imported canning production lines.

Later, the smuggling and export of arms turned Rennes Military Industry into a money bag. No one except himself knew how much money Saint-Jese made from arms smuggling.

Later, it was discovered that tobacco was highly profitable, and most of it was "exported" to foreign countries through Argentina's northwest border. It is still providing a steady stream of profits to St. Jose.

Later, San Jose gradually formalized and legalized, and cleaned itself up. Now all factories have evolved into complete parts. Prali International, which is responsible for the formal trade part, is still Argentina’s third largest import and export association after the official import and export association. The second largest import and export trading company.

Prali International is very professional in the import and export of bulk goods, and can achieve efficiency and maximize profits. For example, the import of oil, coal, iron ore, and cotton is basically through Prali International, and the export of bulk goods is also So, export steel.

But he has never smuggled cars for the following reasons. First, it is too troublesome and unnecessary. Not only does he have to develop car factory channels, but he also has to open up sales channels, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the end, he faces risks and the goal is huge. Second, it is too troublesome and unnecessary. The Argentine car market is actually not big. It is a deformed market created by Bilon. It does not help much in increasing its strength. If you have the energy, you might as well sell more guns. Third, this needs to be combined with a strong Civil-official cooperation must at least reach the level of the presidential palace, and must be maintained by the family.

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't care about the profit. Even if he smuggles 10,000 vehicles a year, it is really worthless. Moreover, once he is settled by his wife or exposed, it will be a devastating blow to his political career.

The development of the small arms industry can be said to be for national defense. Exporting tobacco can also support a large number of tobacco farmers. The development of illegal immigration can increase the country's strength. However, being a comprador-style automobile import and export businessman and attacking the country's automobile industry is something Saint Jose really doesn't bother to do. This kind of thing.

There are currently only two automobile factories in Argentina. One is Steam Auto in Buenos Aires, which imports auto parts for assembly and also engages in research and development. The second is Thunder Shield Auto, which has begun to break through the limitations of Fiat Auto. Started imitating and developing a more Argentinian car.

The Fiat 600 made by Fiat Automobile can indeed sell well and make enough money.

Thunder Shield Motors' Thor car-making plan has begun to falter.

The automobile engine is the most difficult part. Fortunately, the Argentinian diesel engine factory also has many engine engineers with a lot of experience in engine design, which can help Thunder Shield realize it. Fiat also supports the engine engineers.

San Jose once again put forward some requirements for the research and development of automobile engines, and tried to save fuel as much as possible when the engine horsepower is basically sufficient.

He found a stupid way to reverse engineer the engine, found some of the best car engines in the world, and directly dismantled them for reverse development. Moreover, San Jose now has another advantage, that is, he has a mature engine engineering team.

The car shell has also been optimized again by San Jose, and it has ambitious plans to launch at least two models, namely a practical van, an A-class sedan and an A-class compact car.

If you want to sell your car well, you must not miss the largest car market at present - the United States.

There are also relatively large car markets such as Brazil, Western Europe, and Mexico, which cannot be missed.

The German Automobile Alliance, that is, Audi, has development potential, and there are many automotive talents in Germany. The premise is that the Argentine Thunder Shield parent company can develop and provide assistance.

Later generations of Audi developed with the backing of Volkswagen, and Volkswagen slowly grew stronger with the help of several super popular models, such as the Beetle, the first popular model, the Golf, the second popular model, and the Passat, the third popular model.

The Beetle cannot be imitated, but it has the rights to produce and sell the Fiat 600 in South America, and a modified and upgraded version of the Fiat 600, the Thunderbolt 800 with a different appearance and the same price may be launched next year.

Passat will not go into details. After all, it is a B-class car, a mid-sized sedan, and it cannot reach the technical level of Thunder Shield.

But the Golf model is different. It is an A-class car. Like the Fiat 600, it is a compact model. It must be unique to become a sales classic.

And the technical requirements will be lower.

San Jose doesn't want to run before he learns to walk. Civilian models are the most important and guarantee sales.

The third model is a heavyweight, compact sedan with a semi-streamlined design and lots of curves.

The design goals of compact cars are actually very simple, which are the appearance of luxury cars, the quality of high-end cars, and the price and cost of compact cars.

This is how many automobile factories in New China started in later generations, or at least this is how they were promoted. Land Rover, Land Rover, and Porsche just simply imitated the appearance and there was basically no way out. These factories had no core technology and poor quality, and they basically went bankrupt.

And some of them gradually formed a design style after getting rid of the initial traces of imitation, and basically survived well.

The first car that later generations completed this plan was the Toyota Corolla, which was called Corolla in New China. This is a matter of translation, just like Lexus was once called Lexus. There are various reasons. Gu Mu

New China also has companies such as Geely, Great Wall, Changan and BYD, which eventually gradually grew into independent brand car manufacturers with a certain weight.

With ready-made homework to copy, all the next development plans for Saint Jose are in place.

After comparing a large number of existing American car styles, including Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler and other models, as well as a car with a MacPherson suspension system developed by Ford of the United Kingdom, San Jose chose to introduce various mature technologies.

Fiat alone is not good enough. Apart from the United States, the British automobile industry is the most developed. Now the threshold is slowly being opened, so just buy, buy, buy.

The top car manufacturers now include the United States and the United Kingdom.

Italy's Fiat, France's Renault Peugeot Citroën, Germany's Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Japan's Toyota and Nissan, and Honda are still struggling in the motorcycle industry. Sweden's rich people now basically belong to the level of second- and third-tier car manufacturers.

Of course, the biggest change in the auto industry after the war has begun. German and Japanese cars will become the most powerful competitors for American cars, while British cars will slowly begin to decline and eventually withdraw from the stage of history.

Japanese and German cars have basically completed their transformation in the largest US market. Japan-US relations and German-US relations are very important to the development of automobiles in the two countries.

As for the outbreak of New China, the largest car market in later generations, that is another matter. After French cars lost their presence in the New China market, they basically lost their status as a world-class car manufacturer. Later, Peugeot and Citroën merged and acquired a number of cars. Only after the factory did it manage to maintain first-line standards.

Renault's current development is slightly better. After all, it is a purely state-owned company and the largest industrial group in France. It is involved in tractors, agricultural machinery, machine tools, small military engines, bearings, bicycles, industrial rubber and many other industries. , and also contract projects, its status is similar to that of Italian Fiat, and the European market it is backed by is also one of the three largest automobile markets in the world.

When Leidun Automobile reaches a production capacity of 10,000 vehicles per month, it will be able to achieve the status of a fourth-tier automobile factory.

Now the city of Blanca is slowly starting to develop its automobile industry. Cultivate talents and related industries.

As long as Leidun Auto develops well, it can at least affect the employment of millions of people. It's such an exaggeration.

All it takes is for Thunder Shield Auto to develop into a second-tier manufacturer.

Of course, this premise is to survive in the fiercely competitive South American market in the future. The South American market is now dominated by American cars, but it is still in the preliminary development stage. After all, in order to buy a car, in addition to having a large enough population, you also need to have a large number of people. Just a little money.

After all, the Leidun Automobile brand is just a new brand. If it wants to develop well, it must rely on excellent product quality.

Therefore, quality is as important as appearance and performance.

And the automobile industry can affect the development of many industries.

Blanca City has issued a five-year automobile industry plan and made a direct bet, announcing that it will invest 10 million US dollars in the next five years to support the development of the automobile industry and related industries.

This is a more perfect industry than steel, shipbuilding, food, textiles, chemicals, and petroleum, and can also promote the development of other industries.

If the steel and oil industries can complete the industrialization foundation of Blanca City, then the development of the automobile industry will complete the industrial transformation of Blanca City.

It can also drive the development of other industries.

At present, the two cities with the best development of the automobile industry are Cordoba and Buenos Aires. Cordoba was once the site of an automobile factory owned by the Argentine Military Aircraft Factory, and is negotiating to introduce American automobile factories.

According to Buenos Aires, Ford once established a factory in the 1930s and 1940s to produce Model T cars, and it is still in operation now, but this model has now been discontinued.

San Jose proposed in the municipal meeting to comprehensively cultivate the technical talents needed by the automobile industry, establish an automobile industry department in consultation with the National University of the South, and supervise the Blanca High School and the Blanca Industrial High School under the jurisdiction of the Blanca Education Department. The school has established an automotive major.

The City Hall of Blanca City will also provide 500,000 US dollars each year for the next five years for talent training in the automotive industry, and attract investment from powerful auto parts factories from all over the country and the world to set up factories in Blanca City, etc., which will be tax-free for more than 5 years. Preferential measures will be taken to develop industries related to auto parts, rubber tires, and mechanical equipment processing.

Based on the Leidun Automobile Industrial Park, Blanca City has divided the 200 square kilometers surrounding the industrial park into an automobile industry zone, and implemented a large number of preferential policies and financial subsidies such as tax exemptions and exemptions for factories entering the zone, factory construction subsidies, etc., to rapidly develop the automobile industry.

In addition, San Jose has also stepped up the introduction of automotive talents with relatively large efforts, such as providing financial subsidies to the National University of the South and introducing outstanding talents from universities such as Buenos Aires.

The demand for talents in the automobile industry is very large.

In addition, Blanca City Hall provides fast customs clearance and other conveniences for the import and export of bulk goods such as automobile tires, rubber, etc.
