Of course, this idea and proposal were mentioned by Li Yifan to him...

However, Zhou Yuanchao is a good person. In his previous life, he was also like this. He was recruited by Chery and also poached many people from D private.

In the end, he became the highest commander of the power transmission department under Chery. He was able to reach such a high position in a state-owned enterprise and left a strong mark in the field of automatic transmission research in China, which shows his ability.

But he was not as bold as he is now, because Chery didn't have such courage at that time. After all, they didn't know that D-private would go bankrupt in two years, so they did not dare to directly take D-private's transmission for reverse research and development, and then change the face.

After all, they had to worry about patent issues, so they turned their heads and focused on the research and development of cvt transmissions. After six years, they finally made their own cvt transmissions.

It can be regarded as a breakthrough in the field of domestic automatic transmissions, but the efficiency of their CVT transmission is not as good as that of Nissan's Jetco, and there are many small flaws.

After Li Yifan called Zhou Yuanchao, he explained to him that his company would have to fight on multiple fronts in the future, and the requirement would be to bloom more points.

As a veteran, Li Yifan is well aware of the future development trends of the automotive industry, and will become the leader in the field of automotive automatic transmissions in the future.

However, other automatic transmissions are not afraid to be weak. For example, the CVT transmission represented by Jetco, and the dual-clutch transmission represented by Volkswagen have a considerable market share in the field of automatic transmissions.

And these transmissions have their own advantages.

In terms of gear shifting smoothness and fuel-saving performance, the best performance is the CVT transmission. Unfortunately, this transmission always has an inevitable disadvantage in terms of reliability and intense driving.

Although the dual-clutch transmission is not as good as the CVT transmission in terms of gear shifting and fuel saving, it can perform much more reliable than the CVT and At transmissions in dealing with intense driving.

The six-speed hydraulic automatic transmission with the largest market share is the six-speed hydraulic transmission. Although his performance is not as good as the first two in terms of gear smoothness and fuel saving, he has an incomparable advantage in reliability, so this is also the main reason why he can occupy the largest share in this market.

Li Yifan insists on blooming more points, which means that he will not bet on all the treasures on the six-speed automatic transmission.

Because he knew that with the current R&D capabilities of Chinese personnel, if you want to continue to move forward at a higher level, there must be little hope. After all, if the six-speed automatic transmission is expanded to eight-speed automatic transmission, there will be many patent obstacles.

Moreover, it is impossible to keep up so quickly in terms of design and research and development, so the six-speed automatic transmission, for Li Yifan, already means a limit in the field of hydraulic automatic transmissions.

But in contrast, with the improvement of materials science and the changes in design ideas of dual-clutch transmissions and CVT transmissions, Li Yifan knew that there is actually a lot of potential in these two transmissions.

So he plans to make efforts in the research and development of these two transmissions.

So he gave Zhou Yuanchao a task, which was to bring as many people as possible to Australia for training, so that these domestic designers could get in touch with how modern design studios operate as soon as possible.

Then bring these people back and form their own design studio. Those Australian designers who are willing to work in China at that time will certainly not mind giving them a high salary and high position opportunity. If they are not willing, of course they can get out after completing the work in front of them.

Zhou Yuanchao did not object to Li Yifan's plan, but in fact he was still a little repulsive.

However, when he thought about the guarantee that Li Yifan could give him, especially the investment in R&D and the plan to blossom more in the future, he was still moved and finally agreed.

As a scientific researcher in transmissions, Zhou Yuanchao certainly knows the current scientific research trends in the field of automatic transmissions in the world.

The automatic transmission that represented the highest-end was the six-speed automatic transmission led by Toyota. Toyota used this transmission on its own Lexus model, and then Mercedes-Benz and BMW couldn't sit still, so ZF also developed a six-speed automatic transmission, and its performance was better than Aixin's.

But their six-speed automatic transmission, Mercedes-Benz and BMW can afford it, but Volkswagen cannot.

So Volkswagen had to turn around and ask Toyota for it, and finally bought a six-speed automatic transmission from Aisin Seiko.

After the result was packed on their midsize car, their midsize car entered the market at a low price, which caused panic among the Japanese.

In the end, the Japanese simply cut off the supply to the public, which made the public angry and began to turn to develop the dual clutch.

The dual clutch is actually not a new thing. It was played by someone as early as the last century, but due to the disadvantages that cannot be solved such as overheating in the gearbox, it became useless later.

Now the public has picked it up again and claims to have made breakthrough progress, which has attracted the interest of many people who are studying transmissions.

After all, in terms of mechanical structure, the dual clutch has an advantage over the hydraulic automatic transmission in terms of gear shifting smoothness and fuel saving performance.

When he was in private, he had long wanted to do research on this aspect, but because the company had been in poor business conditions and did not give them research funds for project establishment, he could only seal the plan.

Now Li Yifan promised to give him funds and also promised to give him the best conditions. How could Zhou Yuanchao still reject Li Yifan's request?

So although some of Li Yifan's requests seemed a bit too much in his opinion, which was the manifestation of the thoughts of some nouveau riche and small farmers, he finally compromised.

After resigning from Australia, he initially followed Lee Annie's people and searched for suitable places as a studio.

Then he brought someone to work, but fortunately Li Yifan asked Annie's people to prepare legal affairs and all management regulations for the studio. Otherwise, he would be really unsuccessful if he was a pure technician like him to build a studio.

The major shareholder behind this studio is of course Li Yifan’s vest company, and everyone is also very satisfied with such a working environment.

After explaining the new work tasks, no one opposed it. After the company gradually got on track, Zhou Yuanchao returned to China without stopping.

He started to set up a power transmission R&D department on Chenhua Automobile again. Fortunately, Chenhua Automobile left him a good foundation. When Yang Rong was at Chenhua Automobile, he attached great importance to the company's technical reserves, and he also knew that automatic transmissions are a shortcoming in the domestic automobile industry.

So he also specially reserved a lot of technical talents in this area. Some of these people were newly graduated college students recruited from universities, and some were professional talents poached from other automobile companies. There were more than 200 people inside and out.

He even specially introduced a set of 4at patents from Mitsubishi, which are just old technology and do not have the function of manual self-organization, and are just the simplest 4at.

In the original world, this transmission was once used on Zunchi models.

However, because the sales status of Zunchi Cars is not ideal, and the manufacturing cost of this equipment is problematic, this technology gradually declined.

After all, in another year, the five-speed manual-automatic transmission will be popularized on the market, while the four-speed automatic does not have the manual-automatic function. You don’t want to sell it at a low price, which makes the positioning of this transmission very embarrassing.

Later, six-speed manual-automatic transmissions became popular, and this automatic transmission was even more silent.

But the key is the people he found, which is very important for Zhou Yuanchao to organize his own team.

Before Li Yifan took over this Chenhua Automobile, some people in this department felt that their future was hopeless, and some people chose to resign and retire, and those who chose to retire were left. By the time Zhou Yuanchao took over this department, there were only more than 100 people left.

Zhou Yuanchao held meetings for these people several times, and then he felt that these people were pretty good. Although his character was not clear, his technical ability was not bad.

So he doesn't plan to recruit new people recently. After all, he doesn't have that energy. He just wants to keep these people first and then train them well. As the main force of the company's power transmission department in the future, he is also his foundation.

Just then, Li Yifan got a lot of technical information from Saab. Saab's automatic transmission technology may not be the best in the world, but it is also very unique.

In particular, their automatic transmissions can work with turbocharged engines, which makes their automatic transmissions famous for being responsive and able to withstand high torque.

The most important thing is that these automatic transmissions from Saab are also the most mainstream five-speed manual-automatic transmissions on the market. You should know that such transmissions can be used in the domestic market even in a few years.

This made Zhou Yuanchao very happy, so he divided the people in the power transmission department into several groups, some young and promising young people, who were taken to Australia for training, while others left behind should digest and absorb these technologies from Saab as quickly as possible.

Of course, there will be a year here, and then everyone will organize a rotation. Then, based on the working status of these two groups of people in their respective places, they will select some excellent people to continue training, while those who perform poorly will be eliminated.
