Who can help introduce the brief history of Chery Automobile?

Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. originated from the automobile project of Wuhu Municipal Government in Anhui Province. Wuhu local government has wanted to do automobile projects for a long time. 1992 to 1993 during the period of overheating, a village-run factory in Wuhu knocked hundreds of cars a year, which was the output value of more than one billion. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of the leaders of economically backward local governments, and the idea of drying cars has emerged. The original plan was to cooperate with FAW, but I found that the other party didn't put themselves in the eye at all, and finally decided to do it myself. Looking back at history, the biggest driving force for Wuhu automobile project to evolve into an independent development enterprise comes from ignorance (simply considering the difficulty of making a car) and profit-driven (the car was a high-profit industry at that time). But the ignorant are fearless. Today's Chery leaders are no longer ignorant, but the spirit of daring to think and do has penetrated into the organizational genes of this enterprise and continues to carry forward.

The leaders of Wuhu, Anhui Province, who wanted to go to the automobile project, learned that an engine production line of Ford in England was to be sold during the inspection of European automobile industry in May 438+0995+10, so they seized the opportunity to start the project. Due to the restrictions of national policies on automobile projects, it can only be carried out in secret. So when this project started, it took the internal code 95 1 project (the number one project in Anhui during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period) and publicly called' Anhui Auto Parts Industry Company (preparatory office), which kept a low profile. It can be seen from this mysterious code name that Anhui Province must have secretly given support to this project.

In an economically backward area like Wuhu, it is not easy to find people who can make cars. 1995, when the Wuhu delegation visited FAW, they found Yin, a fellow villager. Yin 1983 graduated from Hefei University of Technology, majoring in automobile engineering, and then worked in FAW 12.5 years. He used to be the workshop director of FAW-Volkswagen, and was elected as "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" of FAW, which made him famous in FAW. Wuhu "stalked" after discovering this geographically related talent, and strongly invited Yin to come back to Wuhu to preside over the automobile project.

Moved by each other's sincerity, I finally accepted Yin's invitation. When Yin went to Wuhu to form a team, there were eight people in the whole project, which was later listed as "Eight donkey kong" by Chery history. The core team after the Eighth donkey kong was more than 50 people gathered at 1997. Among them, Lu Fujun, the car body minister, and Gao Lixin (Da Gao), the project manager of the son of the Orient, were Yin's classmates at the Polytechnic University and were "cheated" by Yin. Minister Lu was originally in Anhui An Kai Bus Company, and Yin was the first to find him. They broke their fingers and "counted" which of the classmates was still doing technical work, so they remembered the high school who had worked in Shijiazhuang Automobile Factory. They still remember that Yin stood in an open field full of weeds and excitedly told them where the engine factory, the center and the assembly factory were ... although these were pies drawn out of thin air.

As Da Gao said, Chery's biggest attraction is to drive its own car. What impressed him was not the pie Yin painted on the wasteland, but the Chery prototype he was led into the shed to see. At that time, he only felt that his eyes were shining and the meaning of life was just that, so he joined this team with only 50 people at that time. Gao Xinghua (Gao Xiao), qq Project Manager, 1997, graduated from Hefei University of Technology, majoring in automobile. He was attracted by Yin at the job fair and joined Chery after persuasion. Taking advantage of his relationship in FAW, Yin also invited some people from FAW to help. It is said that FAW still has 100 people working in Chery.
