BAIC Plant No. 2 had more than 6,000 employees at its peak. In 1988, BAIC No. 2 Plant jointly invested with CITIC Investment Company and Xiangjiang Shortage Company to establish a Sino-foreign joint venture Jingcheng Light Vehicle Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 200 million yuan. BAIC No. 2 Plant held 70% of the shares and CITIC Investment Company held 5% of the shares. %, Schottage Company holds 25% of the shares, and the joint venture period is 15 years.
In 1985, when the joint venture was first prepared, the annual output was 19,000 vehicles, ranking second in the industry. In 1988, the annual output reached 29,100 vehicles, an increase of 53.2%.
Since 1991, based on the imported Isuzu N series light vehicle technology, Jingcheng Light Vehicle has successively completed the design work of three models of the bJ1045 series and six models of the bJ1061 series of three-ton popular and high-end models. However, these 9 vehicles were not until 1995 It passed technical appraisal and was put into production in 1996. At this time, ten years had passed since the country introduced Isuzu technology.
While developing new products, during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, Jingcheng Light Vehicle also invested 799 million yuan in technological transformation, including 523 million yuan in the construction project of the new factory in Shunyi, 6.63 million yuan in the renovation project of the old factory in Shunyi, and 153 million yuan in the old factory in Jingcheng. Yuan.
BAIC Plant No. 2 has produced a total of various types of trucks and vehicles, sold 320,000 vehicles, generated sales revenue of 10.486 billion yuan, and realized profits and taxes of 676 million yuan.
When the joint venture was established in 1988, BAIC No. 2 Plant injected high-quality assets, but not all of them were included, with some remaining. In 1990, BAIC No. 2 Plant moved out of the city to Xiaokou Town, Changping, and began producing special vehicles. Specially modified car.
Beginning in 1992, BAIC Plant No. 2 has suffered losses year after year. Today, BAIC Plant No. 2 still has more than 1,000 cadres and employees, with total assets of only more than 85.49 million yuan, liabilities of 140 million yuan, and an asset-liability ratio of 172.79%. It can no longer pay off its due debts. , meeting the statutory bankruptcy conditions.
"Why did Mr. Chen ask me to buy BAIC Plant No. 2?" Sun Jian put down the information in his hand and asked curiously?
In 1995, by chance, he acquired the Chaoyang Battery Factory to lay out the new energy industry, and the idea of entering the new energy automobile industry emerged in his mind.
In 1834, the battery car invented by British Thomas Davenport was the world's first electric car.
At the beginning of the 20th century, electric vehicles, internal combustion engine vehicles, and steam engine vehicles each accounted for one-third of the U.S. automobile market. As internal combustion engine vehicles began to adopt large-scale assembly line production, the cost was greatly reduced, while electric vehicles had short cruising range and limited charging stations. Inadequate infrastructure, etc., caused electric vehicles to withdraw from the market for a time.
In the 1960s, the U.S. government paid new attention to electric vehicles due to the serious pollution of urban air caused by tens of millions of cars.
In the early 1970s, after the OPEC oil embargo crisis, gasoline prices soared and Western interest in electric vehicles grew.
The government has increased funding for electric vehicle R&D, and R&D bases have been established in various places, leading to the arrival of the second round of electric vehicle R&D climax.
As people's awareness of sustainable development increases, more and more well-known companies are investing in the research and development of hybrid and pure electric vehicles.
As the number of hybrid vehicle models continues to increase and the scale of production and sales gradually increases, many models have shown good energy-saving and environmental protection performance, which indicates that the hybrid vehicle market has matured.
Foreign automobile manufacturers designed the world's first hydrogen car in 1965, and China successfully built its first hydrogen car in 1980.
In January 1994, the Toyota Prius, the best electric car in the world at the time, entered the testing stage. Four years later, the technically mature electric car entered the trial operation stage.
In 1996, the United States began manufacturing and selling electric vehicles. In 1967, Japan established the Japan Electric Vehicle Association to promote the development of the electric vehicle industry.
In 1971, Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry formulated the "Electric Vehicle Development Plan." In 1991, Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry formulated the "Third Electric Vehicle Popularization Plan", which proposed that by 2000, the annual output of Japanese electric vehicles should reach 100,000 units, and the number of electric vehicles in stock should reach the goal of 200,000 units.
Due to Nissan's advantages in lithium-ion battery technology, its main research and development direction focuses on pure electric vehicles.
In 1997, Nissan launched the Prairie Joy electric car, which was the world's first electric car equipped with a lithium-ion battery.
In August 1992, 81-year-old Qian Lao wrote a letter to the leaders of the State Council, suggesting that the country skip the development of gasoline and diesel conventional power vehicles and directly develop new energy vehicles. The state takes the lead in implementation.
"New Energy Vehicle Plan". The proposal received the attention of the leadership, and the Science and Education Department of the Planning Commission was instructed to organize an investigation and study. On this basis, combined with the national conditions, a
"Electric Vehicle Research Program" and in
The “Eighth Five-Year Plan” National Science and Technology Key Research Plan has arranged
The "Research on Key Technologies for Electric Vehicles" research project is planned to be launched in
During the "Eighth Five-Year Plan" period, 15 million yuan was invested, focusing on the research and development of electric vehicles. The project is managed by China National Automobile Corporation.
"Mr. Sun acquired Chaoyang Battery Factory in 1995, established Chaoyang New Energy Company in Chaoyang Development Zone, established Chaoyang New Energy Research Institute, successfully developed patented technologies for rechargeable lithium manganese oxide batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries, and laid out the new energy industry , I heard that the Motor Research Institute of Chaoyang New Energy Research Institute is applying for the company's invention patent for new energy motors, and Mr. Sun plans to deploy new energy vehicles." Liang Yeping smiled, since Taobao Holdings became the second largest shareholder of Yinghaiwei After that, she searched online for the industries that Sun Jian had deployed over the years. The more she studied, the more she admired it. It seemed that Sun Jian had entered a new industry rashly, but in fact, he had already laid out the layout.
Her husband, Chen Jianming, was promoted from the position of director of BAIC Plant 2 and has deep feelings for BAIC Plant 2. He has been worried about BAIC Plant 2 in the past few years, but BAIC Plant 2 is like a man who cannot be helped. After being appointed as the second leader, things are still getting worse day by day. Now he is on the verge of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is easy, but the disengagement of more than 1,000 employees will become a problem. I heard that my wife will meet with Sun Jian in New York and hand over the information of BAIC No. 2 Plant. Wife, take the opportunity to explore Sun Jian's tone?
Although Chen Jianming was a bureau-level cadre, he did not have the opportunity to meet Sun Jian.
"Mr. Ye, the relevant domestic departments have not yet formulated a "New Energy Vehicle Development Plan" and a "New Energy Vehicle Industry Policy". There are no financial subsidies and there is no domestic market. Chaoyang New Energy Company does not dare to rush into the business and burn money like water. In the electric vehicle industry, the core technology patents of gasoline and diesel vehicles are in the hands of European and American automobile companies. I have no interest in investing in the production of gasoline and diesel vehicles. I can help Jingcheng Light Vehicle Company introduce South Korea's Hyundai sedan production line."
