"I seem to have heard that he is the chairman or general manager of a private enterprise or something."
"Why are you sitting next to Director Yang? He seems to be quite familiar with me."
"You are very young...do you have any background..."
Seeing that Qin Hai was so close to Yang Xinyu and that Qin Hai looked so young, the representatives of the companies in the room murmured quietly. It was not that there were no young people in the venue, but they might be from the Mechanical Committee.
The staff, or the secretaries and technicians brought by the heads of various companies, were not qualified to sit in the first row. But Qin Hai, whom most people didn't know, was able to sit comfortably in Yang Xinyu's seat.
Next to him, Yang Xinyu obviously greeted him politely when he sat down, which inevitably led to various speculations.
Qin Hai already has enough fame among local governments and private entrepreneurs. The former value his investment, while the latter regard him as a role model. But at this moment, everyone sitting in this conference room is
CEOs of major state-owned automobile companies, in their eyes, all private entrepreneurs are just guerrillas, and they are not qualified to talk to regular armies like them. As for the scale of Qin Hai's enterprises, Qin Hai personally has
There are many assets that they have not paid attention to, otherwise they might look at Qin Hai differently.
"Mr. Qin is the chairman of the Daqin Industrial Group. Their 5∵, w⊕ww. group has been engaged in material development for a while. When we were localizing Pusang Automobile, Mr. Qin often came to our factory. At that time, Director Yang was still there.
As the deputy director of the Localization Office, Mr. Qin is his right-hand man."
Yuan Longsheng, the technical vice president of Pujiang Automobile Group, made an introduction to his colleagues below. Among this group of people, he is the one who knows Qin Hai best. At that time, he was the technical director of Pujiang Automobile Company, and he had a bad relationship with Qin Hai.
They rarely interacted with each other. The two had some personal relationships, and he quite admired Qin Hai's abilities.
"I see." Everyone nodded slightly. Since Qin Hai was once Yang Xinyu's subordinate, it is understandable that he appeared at the conference table at this time. Maybe Yang Xinyu used him as a secretary.
The pleasantries between the two can also be interpreted as Yang Xinyu being approachable.
The meeting started on time. Yang Xinyu, as the host, introduced the representatives attending the meeting. Sitting at the front were leaders at the vice president level and chief engineers of several major automobile groups, as well as several scientific research institutes.
There were academic experts at the level, as well as officials sent by several relevant departments to attend the meeting. The chief director of the Mechanical Committee also made a friendly appearance, and after telling everyone a few useless clichés, he left, and then
The meeting then got down to business.
“Since the reform and opening up, under the wise leadership of the central government, our country’s automobile industry has been determined to forge ahead, be brave in innovation, and actively absorb and learn from foreign advanced technologies. The car production situation is excellent, providing strong support for the development of the national economy and the improvement of people’s lives...
"
Wang Kaihua, vice president of Beidian Automobile Group, spoke first. He used a long paragraph of official articles to praise the entire automobile industry. Of course, he also did not forget to praise the wisdom and prowess of superior leaders, including Yang Xinyu, before changing the subject.
The long-awaited "however" sentence pattern begins:
"However, on the whole, due to various historical reasons, the level of my country's automobile industry lags far behind the level of the world's automobile industry, and the level of automobile engines lags behind the level of the automobile industry. Specific to gasoline engines for cars , although we have introduced some foreign technologies in the past ten years, these technologies are at the level of foreign countries more than ten years ago, and many technical indicators have fallen behind. For example, in the gas distribution system, the technologies introduced in China are all single-position camshafts. Or overhead valve, carburetor type, and the compression ratio has also been reduced after the introduction, and these technologies have been completely eliminated abroad..."
Qin Hai opened a notebook and kept recording Wang Kaihua's speech. Because he had done enough homework in advance, he knew that everything Wang Kaihua said was correct. Although there were some habitual clichés, the questions he raised were practical.
Really.
Everyone present obviously agreed with Wang Kaihua's analysis. After his half-hour speech, everyone gave him warm applause without hesitation, and even more familiar people nodded and praised him:
"Old Wang, that's a good point!"
"Mr. Wang is insightful and worthy of being an experienced Autobot man!"
The next person to speak was a professor from the Automotive Department of Huaqing University named Jiang Hailin. He started with the development trends of foreign automobile engines and said that the development of new car engines for the 21st century should focus on solving the following problems: Number of cylinders
And arrangement, ventilation method, structure and weight, fuel economy, emission control, reliability, etc. Experts speak at a higher level than corporate leaders. When Jiang Hailin spoke, not only Qin Hai was busy recording, but also sat down
The engineers and technicians in the back row were also holding notebooks and taking notes, for fear of missing something important.
"At present, the installation rate of electronically controlled fuel injection systems in the United States has reached 100%, Germany has exceeded 70%, and Japan has exceeded 60%, while our country has just started. To solve the problem of electronic fuel injection technology, it involves electronics, materials,
In various aspects such as processing technology, it is impossible for one company to work alone. It must be led by the state and full cooperation between enterprises and institutions can achieve effective progress." Jiang Hailin said eloquently.
"I'll interrupt Professor Jiang and ask, does our Huaqing Automobile Department have any research on EFI technology?" Yang Xinyu interjected.
"Of course, we have been tracking international advanced technology." Jiang Hailin replied.
"If we want to transform these research into technologies that can actually be applied, what conditions are needed?" Yang Xinyu asked again.
"Funds!" Jiang Hailin replied without hesitation, "Our current research is still in the theoretical field. We hope to establish an EFI technology laboratory. When the report was sent to the school, it was rejected, saying that there was not enough money.
Funding. Mr. Wang, Mr. Yuan and others have expressed their willingness to provide some funds to support our research, but it is a drop in the bucket and far from meeting the needs."
Having said this, he nodded slightly to Wang Kaihua, Yuan Longsheng and others, indicating that they were the ones he was talking about. Yang Xinyu followed Jiang Hailin's gaze and looked at a few people, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang,
Mr. Yuan, how much funding have you provided to Professor Jiang and others?"
"We offered it three times. The total was 350,000 or 450,000. I can't remember clearly."
"Ours is 720,000 yuan, and it is also provided in three projects, not entirely for EFI technology."
They both answered separately.
Qin Hai frowned slightly when he heard the numbers answered by the two people. No one else in the conference room paid attention to Qin Hai's little move. On the contrary, Yang Xinyu had a clear understanding and cast a knowing look at Qin Hai, then didn't move.
He said to Jiang Hailin calmly: "Professor Jiang, please continue talking."
Jiang Hailin was not affected by this episode. He continued to introduce the cutting-edge of foreign engine technology and put forward various good prospects for domestic engine research. Qin Hai didn't feel much at first, but as he listened, he gradually understood
I feel something is wrong: the goal proposed by this old man is too lofty. Basically, he plans to surpass the United Kingdom and catch up with the United States before 2010.
Based on the memory of later generations, Qin Hai knew that even in the new century, China's car engines were still relatively backward in the world. He didn't know the specific reasons, but compared with Jiang Hailin's goal, the gap was really big. He didn't
He doesn't know whether it is because the Chinese automobile industry has chosen the wrong approach that has led to such a result, or whether it is really so difficult to catch up with the world's advanced level. In short, he has some doubts about whether this goal is realistic.
After Jiang Hailin, several business leaders and scholars spoke successively. Some of them elaborated on a specific technology, while others put forward ideas from the perspective of national macro-management and summarized everyone's opinions. They all thought that China
There is a big gap between China's car engines and foreign countries, and we must catch up. To catch up with foreign countries, we can only rely on the support of the state. As for what support means, everyone tacitly understands that it is funds.
"In the report jointly submitted by several automobile companies and industry associations, you requested that the state allocate 2 billion yuan to carry out the research and development of advanced car engines. The leader of the Machinery Committee shook his head and asked me to ask you if I can provide you with
With an allocation of 2 billion yuan, when can you come up with an engine that reaches what level?" Yang Xinyu put a report on the table, then looked at everyone and asked calmly.
Several car company leaders exchanged glances with each other, and Wang Kaihua expressed his position on behalf of everyone: "In 2005, no later than 2010, we will be able to produce an engine that reaches the world-class level."
"How sure are you?" Yang Xinyu asked.
"Eighty percent." Wang Kaihua replied decisively.
"Mr. Wang, I work in materials, but I am a layman on automobiles. I would like to ask you a question about materials. Is it possible?" Qin Hai spoke. He was not overshadowing the guest, but saw Yang Xinyu talking to him.
Yang Xinyu invited him to the meeting just to be the villain. Anyway, he didn't care about offending this group of leaders. If he really said something wrong, Yang Xinyu could smooth things over for him.
Wang Kaihua was a little surprised by Qin Hai's sudden words. He was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If Mr. Qin has any questions, just ask him, but I am a layman, so I may not be able to answer some questions."
"Mr. Wang is very polite." Qin Hai also smiled and said: "I have also read the report in Director Yang's hand. I have a question: Can the R&D investment in engine-related materials in the report guarantee these materials?
