"Currently, the localization rate of my country's automobile industry is far from sufficient, and most of the profits are actually earned by foreign companies. Our Tiangong Technology began its independent research and development of automobile engines, transmissions, and chassis two or three years ago, and has already achieved some success… Recently, Tiangong Technology introduced advanced technology from Daimler, and all R&D personnel are working hard to learn and assimilate it… To promote the localization of automobile parts, I suggest increasing R&D investment in materials, high-end CNC machine tools, automated robotic arms, automotive software, and automotive chips… In addition, we should invest in and support domestic automobile parts manufacturing companies to build an automobile industry chain centered on Tiangong Technology…"
Zhou Huicheng was reporting his work to Zhao Ye at that moment.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Zhou Huicheng's suggestion.
After Zhou Huicheng finished his report, Zhao Ye fell into deep thought. The automotive industry chain involves steel, machinery, rubber, petrochemicals, electronics, textiles, insurance, finance, sales, repair, gas stations, catering, hotels, and other industries, which is far more extensive than what Zhou Huicheng reported.
Vigorously developing the automobile industry is highly beneficial to the state, and Wujiang Group can also make a fortune.
Wujiang Group is different from ordinary companies. In terms of the layout of the automotive industry chain, it emphasizes "large and comprehensive, small and refined". This means that the industrial layout should focus on the overall situation, support related companies in the automotive industry chain through investment, and make itself "small and refined". It selects areas that are difficult for other companies to enter, such as engines, transmissions and chassis, etc., and has core competitiveness in technology.
Zhao Ye said to Zhou Huicheng, "President Zhou, do as you say. I will have Wujiang Group support Tiangong Technology's work. You should immediately establish Tiangong Technology's automotive investment department and use this department to invest in the upstream and downstream automotive industries!"
“Yes, Chairman Zhao!!!” Zhou Huicheng nodded emphatically, his heart filled with excitement.
Zhao Ye thought for a moment and then said, "In the short term, it will be difficult for our car manufacturing technology to catch up with the top foreign car companies. Therefore, if Tiangong Technology's cars want to win favor in the consumer market, we must find a new path! At present, car companies around the world do not pay enough attention to the research of intelligent vehicles, which may be a good opportunity for us to overtake them!"
"So, intelligent cars, for example, have a navigation information database containing information on national highways, ordinary roads, urban roads, and various service facilities such as restaurants, hotels, gas stations, tourist attractions, and parking lots. Then, using a GPS positioning system, they can accurately locate the vehicle's position and compare it with the data in the road database to determine the future direction of travel..."
At this point, Zhao Ye paused slightly and stopped.
He recalled that he had once proposed the BeiDou positioning system, and thought that he should find some time to visit Galaxy Technology Company to learn more about the situation.
GPS positioning system is an American product, and ultimately we are subject to their control. What if they prevent you from using GPS service?
Therefore, China must have its own satellite positioning system.
Because GPS was deployed earlier and earlier satellite technology was not advanced enough, BeiDou was able to gain a technological advantage over GPS by coming later.
It's worth noting that Galaxy Technologies practically poached the entire Soviet space agency, a force comparable to NASA.
Zhao Ye has every reason to believe that Galaxy Technology has the capability to create a BeiDou positioning system that is even more advanced than GPS!
Zhou Huicheng was taken aback upon hearing this. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that if this function could be developed, it would enable vehicles to automatically navigate routes. This function would be amazing and would definitely be loved by many car users.
In fact, many things that were commonplace in the previous life are only just beginning to emerge in this era.
GPS vehicle navigation first appeared in the mid-1990s. At that time, the Global Positioning System was not yet widely used, and only a few scientists and technical experts were able to use the GPS system for navigation and positioning.
The first generation of electronic navigation appeared around 2000. At that time, electronic navigation maps required downloading the city map to the local device first. The GPS antenna built into the car navigation system receives GPS data information, combines it with the electronic map stored in the car navigation device, and matches the location coordinates determined by the GPS satellite signal with this data to determine the car's position on the electronic map.
However, the first generation of electronic navigation could not be updated in real time, and because it used offline maps, it did not have real-time road traffic data, so it could not take into account the actual road congestion when planning routes.
Tiangong Technology will definitely use second-generation electronic navigation and develop OTA (over-the-air) technology to remotely manage the software through mobile communication interfaces, enabling updates to electronic maps, applications, infotainment systems, and other aspects.
Users will definitely love these products.
OTA technology first appeared in 2000, and Tiangong Technology can be considered the first company to take the plunge.
Of course, we can also develop some technologies that look more high-tech, such as HUD real-view navigation, the first car connectivity system, laser adaptive cruise control, remote start, automatic parking, and so on...
These functions can be implemented as long as research and development is undertaken.
If Tiangong Technology's products had such a strong sense of technology, they would surely be popular all over the world.

One month later.
