China's car companies can take appropriate "hills" to take wisdom shortcuts

Recently read the history of the American Civil War and found an interesting phenomenon. When the northern capitalist economy was in its early stages of development, it was actually quite a "shanzhai." At that time, a large number of British technical workers were lured into North America by the temptation of interest. Most chose to engage in manufacturing in the north. The main industry at that time, the textile industry, began to develop rapidly in the United States. The United States, which was poor and poor, was actually Through "infringement of intellectual property rights" and catching the last train of the first industrial revolution, the North began to rise, laying an important hurdle for the intensification of conflicts between the South and the North and the outbreak of civil war in the future.

There is also no shortage of “shanzhai” phenomenon in Chinese auto companies’ R&D and production, or more precisely, “reverse development”. However, how to look at the "shanzhai" and how to treat the "cattle car to the development of the Chinese automobile industry" is actually a topic that makes me feel very entangled.

It is an indisputable fact that some private auto companies in China and independent brands are good at reverse development, and that they are accelerating and benefiting greatly. They imitated a model that had been proven successful in foreign countries, and by comparison or even plagiarism, they eventually produced a model that had won a lot in the market.

What is reverse development? The R&D person in charge of a car group once said that such a paragraph is well understood: The so-called reverse, on the whole, is that you have discovered the advantages of people, and found that people's good things on the body, you refer to people's, according to others, It is always slower than others.

Reverse development will inevitably lead to the appearance of similar “similarities” and similarly configured “cottage cars” and “chariots”. Too many have proved that it is a continuous intellectual property case and appearance infringement case between Chinese and foreign car companies in recent years.

Needless to say, if China’s auto industry really wants to build something, it must do it in the right direction to innovate, that is, insist on “positive development” instead of blindly “reverse development” and upgrade “made in China” to “created in China”. However, it is always safe to say that when it comes to the actual market environment, when a dozen new cars are listed on the market for a month, when the competitive situation in the market becomes increasingly cruel, when the large auto companies in the plate face urgent cash flow and survival. Pressure, do you want it to return year after year without seeking profit?

In other words, which company's factory did not split more than a dozen competitors’ models one by one, studied or imitated? Take Toyota Motor as an example. Toyota Motorsport founder Toyoda Kiichiro's classmate Hideyuki Kazuhiro bought a German DKW brand front-wheel drive vehicle from Germany. After two years of disassembly research, he finally made it in August 1935. A GI car.

So, I think that today, in the wave of globalization, learning and imitating properly, and pondering the most effective method in the process of not breaking away from the market, accumulate and innovate bit by bit, take some shortcuts of wisdom, not not can. Shun and reverse engineering can be combined with each other to achieve the goal of optimizing the design process and shortening the product development cycle. To put it bluntly, there are millions of car-related parts, and some jobs actually do not have the value of doing it right. It is a good idea to seek cooperative R&D, overseas support, and academic alliances.

As stated at the beginning of the text, the Northern United States has accumulated a great deal of strength in the process of "imitation and learning," even over the Southern School, and in 1854 established the present US Republican Party. In this process, the "cottage "The spirit has played a great role. What is wrong with this?
