Three-thirds of Yang Xinyu's words were ridiculed, and the other seventy-five percent were sincere. He was also a technical cadre, but in terms of sensitivity and foresight to technological development, he was far inferior to Qin Hai. As early as Pusang Automobile Co., Ltd.
During his chemical work period, Yang Xinyu often asked Qin Hai for advice. Over the years, he asked Qin Hai for advice dozens of times, and each time he was able to get some useful inspiration from Qin Hai, so his reliance on Qin Hai began.
Getting stronger and stronger.
Hearing what Yang Xinyu said, Qin Hai was slightly humble, and then went straight to the topic and asked: "Director Yang, what is it that worries you so much? Tell me and see if I can help you share some of it."
"Speaking of which, my old profession is related to cars," Yang Xinyu said.
"Cars?" Qin Hai nodded, "No wonder, the whole country is now engaged in the development of cars, and it does make you, a senior director, worried."
It is not an exaggeration to describe the Chinese automobile market in the mid-1990s as "a swarm of princes." Following the success of the Pusang automobile introduction project, several large automobile companies introduced automobile production technology from abroad through joint ventures, forming a
There are several major joint venture automobile production bases. As the market develops and w+ww. is further liberalized, all provinces and cities have taken a fancy to the broad prospects of the automobile industry and have applied to establish their own automobile companies. Thousands of troops have emerged to cross the single-plank bridge.
scene.
According to the original ideas of the Planning Commission and the Machinery Commission, the country does not need to build too many automobile companies, but should concentrate limited funds on a few companies to make them bigger and stronger. However, the determination of various provinces and cities in the automobile industry
It was irresistible. They used all their lobbying power to put pressure on the Planning Commission, forcing the Planning Commission to issue automobile production licenses one after another, starting a leap forward in the automobile industry.
China's automobile industry started not too late, but because it was isolated from foreign countries for a period of time, there was a gap in technology. The Pusang automobile introduction project is a very obvious example. Pujiang Automobile Factory has been manufacturing Pujiang brand cars for 20 years.
, when it came time to enter into a joint venture with a foreign country, I found that all my technologies were out of date, and I had to start over from a small screw nut to make up lessons.
Thanks to the foundation laid by the Pusang Automobile localization project, the domestic automobile supporting industry has begun to take shape and can provide a considerable part of automobile parts and automobile materials. This is also an important reason why various places dare to launch automobile projects. However, automobile
After all, technology is not that simple. The appearance and structural design of cars, as well as the production of core components in cars, including engines, gearboxes, etc., are still shortcomings of the domestic automobile industry. As an official of the Machinery Commission, Yang Xinyu had to work for
Anxious about these things.
"The problem of automobile engines is now the biggest difficulty before us. If we do not break through this difficulty, China's automobile industry will always be able to lag behind others." Yang Xinyu said to Qin Hai.
"I remember, didn't Pujiang Automobile Company introduce engine technology from German Wolfsburg Company and build a production base with an annual output of 100,000 engines?" Qin Hai asked.
"It has now been expanded to an annual output of 200,000 units." Yang Xinyu corrected, "In addition to Pujiang Automobile Company, two automobile companies, Beidian and Anshi, have also built their own engine production bases. Each has formed an annual output of 200,000 units.
Production capacity of more than 10,000 units.”
Beidian Automobile Company and Anshi Automobile Company are both well-established domestic automobile companies. In the past two years, they have introduced automobile technologies from the United States and Japan respectively to produce joint-brand cars. Regarding the establishment of engine bases by these two companies, Qin Hai
He had heard about it but didn't understand it very well. When Yang Xinyu said this, he responded casually: "In that case, what does Director Yang have to worry about? Let these companies increase their investment and increase production capacity. That's it.
?"
"The problem is that the engine technologies of these companies are all imported from abroad and are not independent technologies." Yang Xinyu revealed the secret.
"So that's it..." Qin Hai finally understood what Yang Xinyu meant. As a time traveler, Qin Hai should be able to think of this. It's just because his major is materials and he doesn't have much knowledge about cars.
research, so he ignored this important issue. He remembered that until the beginning of the 21st century, more than half of the cars running in China used engines with imported technology, especially in high-end cars, which were almost entirely imported from abroad.
Monopolized by branded engines.
"So, the Machinery Committee is planning to do something in the independent research and development of engines?" Qin Hai asked tentatively.
Yang Xinyu said: "There is indeed such a plan, but this matter was not initiated by the Machinery Committee, but jointly initiated by Beidian, Pujiang, Anshi and other large automobile companies. They put forward a slogan that by the end of this century
The development of self-owned brand engines that have reached world-class levels has been praised by relevant central leadership comrades."
Qin Haidao: "This is a good thing. Hasn't the country always advocated independent innovation? These large car companies can spontaneously propose innovation, and the country should strongly support it."
Yang Xinyu nodded, but his expression was not relaxed. He said: "Independent innovation is a good thing, but there are also many difficulties before us. The technologies involved in engines are myriad, and our country lacks the foundation in many aspects. We must
It is not easy to build a world-class engine in a few years."
Qin Hai said disdainfully: "Whether it can be done is another matter. If car companies have this determination, they should still support it. We can also do what foreigners can do, it's just a matter of investing enough funds.
.”
Yang Xinyu smiled bitterly and said: "Chairman Qin's words are really grand, nothing more than... do you know how much money needs to be invested in this?"
"How much?" Qin Hai asked.
"The initial investment is no less than 2 billion." Yang Xinyu stretched out his hand and turned it back and forth four times to express the number "20".
"Hiss..." Qin Hai took a breath of cold air. He really didn't expect to invest so much money in developing an engine technology. Speaking of which, Daqin Group can be regarded as a company that is willing to invest heavily in scientific research.
Well, for several key technologies in the 800,000-ton ethylene project, Daqin Group has invested one to two hundred million yuan. What he did not expect was that the technology of automobile engines would actually be more expensive than the core technology of the 800,000-ton ethylene project.
Difficulty, Yang Xinyu said that the investment of 2 billion was only an initial investment.
"Why do you need to invest so much money?" Qin Hai had to ask.
Yang Xinyu got up and went to his desk to get a document and handed it to Qin Hai. Qin Hai took it and looked at it, and saw on the cover: "Request for Instruction Report on Research on Technology for Advanced Car Engines with Independent Intellectual Property Rights".
Looking at the signature below, there are the names of several large automobile companies such as Beidian, Pujiang, and Anshi that Yang Xinyu just mentioned. In addition, there are also the Automobile Industry Association and several other smaller automobile companies.
's signature.
"This kind of collective spirit of tackling key problems is worth promoting." Qin Hai said as he opened the report and began to read it line by line.
At the beginning of the report, as usual, there are some bureaucratic clichés. It is nothing more than praising the good situation of the domestic automobile industry and the great achievements of various automobile companies, and then changing the topic and pointing out that the level of China's automobile industry is still different from that of foreign countries.
There is a huge gap between China and China, a country with a large population and a large industrial country. It is extremely disproportionate to its status. Then it quoted the spirit of important documents of the central government and the speeches of different central leaders to prove the necessity of independent innovation. Finally, it got to the point and proposed the need to unite
Many domestic enterprises and scientific research institutes have begun research on domestically produced engines.
The second part of the report is a detailed description of the engine research work. It lists the ten major difficulties in engine technology, including theory, materials, processes, equipment, etc. It is well written and also lists some research ideas.
Qin Hai didn't know much about engine technology, and some of the contents couldn't be authenticated, but he knew a little bit about the engine materials. After reading it carefully, he found that the technical issues involved were indeed complicated.
Looking at his knowledge system that is 20 years ahead of his time, I feel that he is quite scratching his head.
"Do all these technologies need to be broken through?" Qin Hai asked Yang Xinyu, pointing to the report.
"Yes." Yang Xinyu said, "This is a list compiled after several major car companies organized hundreds of experts to conduct research. Some of these technical difficulties can be solved by introducing technology, but most of them need to be based on
Autonomy.”
"To break through these technologies, an investment of 2 billion can only be regarded as an initial investment." Qin Hai reluctantly admitted that he could use cheats to help with material problems, which might save some R&D investment, but in other aspects
If the difficulty is the same as the difficulty of the material, then the funds required will be inestimable, unless Yang Xinyu has the ability to find several time travelers from different fields and everyone can cheat together.
"You are here at the right time. We are going to hold a seminar in two days to discuss this matter. The participants will include leaders and technical executives from various car companies, as well as authorities from several scientific research institutes. When you arrive
Come join us as a material expert and help me check." Yang Xinyu said to Qin Hai.
Qin Haidao: "Okay, but what I know is limited to the field of materials. I am an outsider in other aspects. I'm afraid I can't help you much."
Yang Xinyu shook his head and said: "No, I believe in your technical vision, Xiao Qin. Even in areas you are not familiar with, you can still hear some problems and provide us with some enlightenment."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Qin Hai smiled and agreed to Yang Xinyu's invitation. He actually wanted to hear the relevant situation and gain some understanding of this field.
