十年前,在我国大客车制造行业还名不见经传的江苏扬州客车总厂,现在,不仅是国内同行的龙头老大,而且已跻身世界大客车制造企业前列。以该厂为核心组建的江苏亚星集团,像其商标“亚星”那样,已成为亚洲乃至世界大客车制造行业一颗正在升腾的明星。亚星集团升腾发迹,主要依赖持续不断的技术改造。对于“不搞技改等死、搞技改找死”的悲观论者,亚星集团提出了一个响亮的回答:技改始终是企业立命强身之本。亚星集团在“七五”、“八五”期间,先后利用贷款和自筹资金2.4亿多元进行技改。最近,由国家有关部委和江苏省有关部门17位专家组成的扬州客车总厂“八五”技改项目验收委员会一致认为,这项技改使企业达到了年产6000辆客车(其中高档车1000辆)和8000辆底盘生产能力,客车制造工艺总体上达到了国际先进水平。与该厂进行合资谈判的德国梅赛德斯—奔驰公司专家在对该厂进行考察时惊异地评价:想不到中国竟有如此先进的大客车生产企业！在合资谈判中,亚星集团不仅占有50％的对等股份,而且其厂名、商标和专有技术三项无形资产与奔驰公司厂名、商标和专有技术以相同作价进行投入。他们之 Ten years ago, the Yangzhou Passenger Bus Plant in Jiangsu Province, which is still unknown in China’s coach manufacturing industry, is now not only the leading leader in the domestic industry, but also ranks among the top companies in the world. The Jiangsu Yaxing Group, formed with this factory as its core, has become a rising star in the bus manufacturing industry in Asia and even the world, just like its trademark “Ya Xing.” The rise of Yaxing Group’s fortune mainly depends on continuous technological transformation. For the pessimists who “do not engage in technological reforms and die, and engage in technical reforms to seek death”, the Yaxing Group put forward a resounding answer: Technical innovation has always been the foundation for companies to live their lives. Yaxing Group has made use of loans and self-raised funds of more than 240 million yuan to carry out technical reforms during the “Seventh Five-Year” and “Eighth Five-Year Plan” periods. Recently, the “8th Five-Year” Technical Transformation Project Acceptance Committee of the Yangzhou Bus General Factory, which consists of 17 national experts from relevant ministries and commissions and relevant departments of Jiangsu Province, unanimously held that this technological transformation has enabled the company to achieve an annual output of 6,000 passenger cars (of which 1000 are high-end cars. With the production capacity of 8,000 chassis, the passenger car manufacturing process has reached the international advanced level on the whole. Experts from the German Mercedes-Benz company who had a joint venture with the factory during the inspection tour of the plant were surprised to comment: I can’t think that China has such an advanced bus manufacturer! In the joint-venture negotiations, Yaxing Group not only holds 50% of the equivalent shares, but also the three intangible assets of its plant name, trademark and proprietary technology are invested at the same price as Mercedes-Benz’s factory name, trademark and proprietary technology.
