238: Chapter 238 Technical Solution, Bosch's Shock

On the other end of the phone, Liu Fang did a quick calculation: 5,000 units per month, 80% performance, and full prepayment required.

No matter how you looked at it, these terms were not worth it.

Although not signing, coupled with Bosch's indefinite delay, meant Transsion Auto really couldn't launch, there was no need to be that desperate.

After Transsion offered the acquisition option, Chen Hao hung up the phone on his own initiative...

They just wanted to sell goods; how did it turn into selling themselves?

On the other side, Liu Fang went to the office for approval and explained the situation from beginning to end.

After listening, Shen Fei considered it for a few seconds.

"The team at Huachuang came from Bosch?"

As for Bosch's breach of contract, the legal department would handle it next.

Daring to provoke him—they were the first... If he didn't make them feel the pain, he wouldn't be called Shen the Dog.

He hoped the orders those companies gave them would be enough to recoup this loss.

"Yes. The core team members are all Bosch people, and most have worked there for over eight years."

"What do they lack?"

"Money, orders, and mass production experience."

"Go to Suzhou with Huang Tianya and acquire them."

Liu Fang nodded, then said with some hesitation: "I brought it up, but they hung up the phone directly."

"Reasonable. They thought a sugar daddy had arrived, but... selling oneself also requires time to consider."

Shen Fei picked up a check from the side, wrote down terms they couldn't refuse, and handed it to Liu Fang.

"Instead of buying their goods, it's better to buy their people."

"Although Huachuang's technology is a bit lacking, the foundation of the team is there."

"After the acquisition is complete, our chassis team will merge with them. Any problems raised can be solved quickly; if it really doesn't work, just throw it to the Enhancement Center, and the gap will be gone by then."

Liu Fang nodded. 80% performance was never the issue; the current problem was whether they could acquire them.

But upon seeing the check, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Moreover, she believed that as long as the acquisition was completed, the boss would definitely be able to pull out better technology.

That afternoon, Huang Tianya and Liu Fang flew to Suzhou and spent the afternoon talking with Chen Hao.

The acquisition plan was simple: Transsion would invest 120 million Chinese Yuan to acquire 100% of Huachuang's equity.

Chen Hao and the core team would remain, with no company stock options, but with project dividends.

Chen Hao considered it for a long time, even stepping out to talk to his team members several times, but in the end, he signed his name on the contract.

"Mr. Huang, there's one thing I don't understand." Chen Hao put down his pen. "You bought Huachuang for the ESP. But the launch event is in a month, and our products don't have time for tuning. What do you plan to do?"

Huang Tianya smiled: "The boss has a way."

Meanwhile, Shen Fei opened the exchange shop that he hadn't used for a long time.

The balance was still over 40,000, rewards obtained from market expansion in Africa, China, and so on, which he hadn't used.

He opened the automotive electronics category and found the ESP system.

[Bosch 12.0 equivalent product, full set of software plus standard data plus production documentation. Required points: 3000.]

3000 points—a drop in the bucket.

He thought it would be something very expensive; technology benchmarking Bosch's 12th-generation product only cost this much. Once enhanced, it would directly benchmark their 14th generation.

Those guys who were good at internal fighting thought that cutting off the ESP supply could keep Transsion in check, but in the end, the one who would suffer was Bosch.

The next morning, Liu Fang, who was still in the middle of integration, received an email.

The sender was Shen Fei, and the attachment was an encrypted compressed file.

She and Huang Tianya unzipped it, and sure enough, they revealed familiar smiles.

If she remembered correctly, this level of parameters far surpassed Bosch 9.0. Now they would have something to regret.

She didn't ask about the data, then looked at Huang Tianya next to her.

"Mr. Huang, look at how many companies you've acquired! You should have said so earlier!"

Huang Tianya smiled.

That's right. The previous Lithography Machine and the current ESP were both acquired by him. Anyway, he had already shouldered so much, one more wouldn't make a difference.

Half a month later, the first generation of ESP systems produced by Transsion technology rolled off the line.

The test data was very good, and the performance completely surpassed the Bosch ESP9.0.

Chen Hao looked at the test report, completely stunned.

"This code... this algorithm... this is simply not something we could have written."

He was practically doubting his life. He initially thought that Transsion had found some backward technology and wanted them to take the blame, and he was even a bit reluctant in his heart. But after it was produced...

"Don't worry about who wrote it." Huang Tianya stood by and patted his shoulder. "As long as it works, that's enough."

What surprised Chen Hao even more was that their original plan, after passing through Transsion, saw the performance gap instantly shrink from 20% to only 4%...

The original generational gap directly turned into a same-generation production gap. There was nowhere to reason with this; this new boss was a good find, and the technology was truly amazing.

It was more likely that the company had already set a target for him: to capture 40% of the domestic market share within three months using this set of backward technology, as long as it didn't lose money.

Chen Hao rubbed his hands together. Sell goods!

Although he was a technical person, in the face of the price difference, he could still become the top salesperson.

Meanwhile, at the Bosch China headquarters.

Muller received a call from the Sales Director.

After all, although they had agreed to the conditions of those few companies, Transsion was still a potential stock, and Bosch still wanted their money.

So he agreed to the conditions of those few companies, but the specific terms were to only block them for one month.

After all, those eight companies didn't have enough weight to warrant a permanent supply cutoff.

But he didn't expect that only 20-plus days had passed, and he received bad news, causing the coffee cup in his hand to freeze in mid-air.

"Mr. Muller, there is movement from Transsion. They didn't go to Continental, nor did they look for Denso; they managed to produce the ESP themselves."

"What? Are you kidding? How is that possible?"

Muller was doubting his life a bit at this moment. After all, ESP wasn't as simple as writing three letters.

It consists of sensors, including wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensors, yaw rate sensors, lateral acceleration sensors, longitudinal acceleration sensors, and brake pressure sensors.

This is just the hardware, then there are the control units and actuators.

Simply put, ESP equals ABS plus EBD plus TCS plus active yaw control.

It can prevent vehicle sideslip, fishtailing, and understeer; it is a device that can save lives at critical moments.

China's audit standards in this area are very strict. The fact that Transsion's equipment can be launched shows that it has already passed the assessment of relevant Chinese departments.

But how is it possible in such a short time?

"It is absolutely true. They found a small company called Huachuang. This is a company founded by some of our team members who left. Their technology is far worse than ours, but they managed to complete the adaptation within a month. According to our intelligence, the performance of their ESP is not much different from our 9.0 level."
