In just one morning, Qingyan and his team's visit to the FAW Zero Factory was over.
Although the Level 8 Town Factory was used because of Factory Zero, Qingyan and his team still gained a lot.
"The craftsmen of a great country are nothing more than this..."
In the afternoon, it was still free time, but just after the lunch break, Chu Xinyang took Xu Chongsheng and found Zhou Yan who ran to the lake to fish.
"Mr. Zhou, why do I feel that something is not quite right at Factory Zero this morning..."
Listening to Chu Xinyang's feelings, Zhou Yan and Xu Chongsheng looked at each other and smiled.
"Lao Chu, although what I say next may be a bit hurtful, do you know why you lost to your opponent when you competed for the position of manager?"
"this……"
"You are too honest and don't know how to use tricks. Naturally, you don't know how to use leadership..." Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "Factory zero in the morning should be all employees of FAW Xidu who are on duty or retired."
All the eighth-level workers have been brought back..."
"Just to give us a showdown?"
"You think too simply," Zhou Yan glanced at Xu Chongsheng, whose eyes were rolling around, "This is a matter of attitude."
Chu Xinyang was a little confused.
"There are also factions within FAW, the local faction, the joint venture faction, and the neutral faction," Xu Chongsheng explained thoughtfully, "This time, besides us, there should be others who are concerned about the engine or powertrain of the Hongqi project...
…”
"Circle, circle, circle?" Chu Xinyang finally reacted, "Mr. Zhou, you are saying that so many eighth-level workers were hired in Factory Zero, not only to give us a show of authority, but also to attract internal executives who are inclined to circle.
Show your attitude?"
"There is another meaning," Zhou Yan sighed slightly, "To set the stage, I mentioned that your circle faction has achieved this level, and you still allow outsiders to succeed, then you can only blame yourself..."
At this time, Chu Xinyang realized that Quanquanquanquan, who did not appear at the drive assembly opinion solicitation meeting, was actually among the shortlisted contestants.
Think about it, Quanquan started from domestic official cars, promoted mid-range and low-end with high-end, and fed Hans domestically. It is nonsense to say that they have no idea about Hongqi's powertrain...
However, the problem now returns to Zhengxin: how to deal with the circle?
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xu, let's..."
"Lao Chu," Xu Chongsheng smiled, "Anxin, Anxin, I will analyze it for you.
First of all, with Quanquan as a finalist, why does FAW still solicit external powertrains? This means that they also have opinions about Quanquan internally?
In recent years, it is said that the market has changed technology, but many of FAW's high-end products still use imported engines.
This is a game, and it is also a circle.
Secondly, there shouldn’t be much interest in the Hongqi project within the industry, but they don’t want domestic engine manufacturers to be shortlisted.”
"If you want to be shortlisted, you must first produce many high-end engines in China?" Chu Xinyang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, one more thing is that our Qingyan also produces aero engines..." Xu Chongsheng said with a wicked smile, "Let's change the factory that produces engines for FAW to Qingyan Power and see if they are tempted!"
There is another point that Xu Chongsheng did not mention, because this is his trump card: Zhengxin and Qingyan companies rarely purchase luxury cars, and it seems that this vacancy has always been unresolved.
"Then let me add something more," Zhou Yan curled his lips, "If Quanquan dares to compete with us, we will do as Lao Xu said and separate from the external engine company, and then use a trumpet to publicize that the engines they use are similar to
Our Zhengxin cars are of the same model..."
Zhou Yan's "high-end" business war model shocked Chu Xinyang: "So dirty?"
"What is dirty?" Xu Chongsheng smiled and patted Chu Xinyang on the shoulder, "High-end business wars are so simple and unpretentious..."
While Zhou Yan, Xu Chongsheng and Chu Xinyang were discussing how to build a circle, a group of yellow-haired executives from the circle in China also received a copy of the test report on Zhengxin's batch of engines from FAW Power Company.
.
There were a lot of messy data in the report that many executives with administrative backgrounds couldn't understand at all, but the conclusion was that it was comparable to the quality of BBA high-end car engines, which made everyone present break into a cold sweat.
"Now, how do we deal with the threat that Zhengxin Automobile will pose to our circle?"
"Let them fail this selection!"
"Then, let them install this batch of engines in their mid-to-high-end cars, posing a more serious threat to our already precarious market?"
"Then let them be selected, but the condition is that these powers must not appear on other models except Hongqi?"
A certain "phoenix chick"'s proposal quickly gained everyone's approval.
As for accusing Zhengxin of "plagiarism", executives in the circle have never thought about it, because that would only arouse the curiosity of some curious people: What is the difference between "the same engine" installed in different cars?
Then, people will find that "always imitated, never surpassed" is just a joke.
The senior executives of the circle would never do anything like making wedding dresses for others.
Of course, if Zhou Yan knew that Quanquan actually thought that Zhengxin would enter the luxury car market, he would definitely laugh until his stomach hurts.
Zhou Yan’s imaginary enemy has never been BBA, nor Double R or similar luxury brands, but TT.
Zhou Yan's purpose in making cars has always been to bring down the price of cars or electric cars. Of course, it would be better if he could make a small profit while achieving his goal.
After fishing at the lake for a while, Zhou Yan finally caught the first fish of the new year, and it was a fat one.
"good sign!"
In the evening, a department executive from Hongqi invited Zhou Yan, Xu Chongsheng and Chu Xinyang to dinner.
During the dinner, this person "accidentally" revealed a piece of news, "As long as Zhengshin promises not to use the same engine in other models, the probability of being shortlisted is very high."
Although Zhou Yan was a little happy, he still reluctantly said: "Developing an engine is not easy, we have to go back and discuss it..."
Even though he said this, Zhou Yan still planned to give up other plans for several types of engines.
When he returned to his residence, Chu Xinyang found Zhou Yan: "Mr. Zhou, it would be a bit of a loss to replace these engines with a batch of luxury cars that we don't know how many orders we can have..."
"What's the loss?" Zhou Yan glared at Chu Xinyang, "How much research and development funds did you spend on the development of these engines?"
"This..." Chu Xinyang was a little embarrassed, "It's only a few million..."
"That's it, let's talk about it," Zhou Yan continued with a smile, "These engines are all Hans series engines with average fuel economy. If it weren't for the EA-888, which is the same model we have been using, it has been deeply modified.
, I don’t know how much the fuel consumption will be. Our domestic oil prices are high, and fuel-saving small-life engines are the key direction of innovation..."
When Zhou Yan said this, Xu Chongsheng and Chu Xinyang knew that this guy must have the powertrain technology of Hongda, Niutou, Pangci or Fangchi series.
"It's just that the low fuel consumption of cars these days is gained at the expense of self-respect. We..."
"Have you forgotten about the integral pressure-cast car body I asked you to publicize a while ago?"
Although the integrally cast aviation aluminum alloy body is more suitable for electric vehicles, it is also an excellent combination with a fuel-efficient engine...
