Gu Fan had a conversation with his wife, and when he came back, he tried his best to introduce the new engine turbocharging system he and Xu Aihua had designed, which Cao Mo was testing when he first arrived at the factory.
Domestic modifications rarely involve the engine structure, but in foreign countries, if they want to improve the performance of old cars, many modification factories will add their own designed turbocharging systems, but if the boost ratio can reach three, they are already quite professional.
.
The newly designed system by Gu Fan and Xu Aihua can theoretically reach a boost ratio of five. This is also a technology they are preparing to apply for a patent in the near future; this is also what carmakers are currently most capable of.
"How does it show up?" Qian Wenhan usually doesn't drive himself, but today he saw the situation in the carmaker's modification shop and the assembled cars that were not very complete, and he was also very curious about how Gu Fan and the others worked.
Gu Fan brought a few pairs of noise-cancelling earmuffs and put them on for everyone. Then he took out a laptop, connected it to several parts of the engine's front and rear ends with data cables, and opened the software to introduce graphics of several key data such as the boost ratio.
However, when it comes to turning on the computer to demonstrate the specific test equipment, only Huang Yijiang and other professionals know the principles.
Huang Yijiang and Xu Bin didn't expect that Gu Fan's newly designed system could achieve such a high boost ratio. They had never heard Gu Fan mention it before, so they sat down with interest.
Turbocharging is the most commonly used method to increase engine output. It is already common in the field of automobile engines, but it is not without precedent in motorcycle engines.
Huang Yijiang presides over Tianyue Industrial Product Design, Development and Testing Center. Even though the work carried out at the same time is very limited, different technical routes are tracked.
Tianyue cannot achieve success in one go and produce a high-level, high-power motorcycle engine in a short period of time. However, Tianyue needs to start developing its own off-road motorcycle. In order to solve the problem of insufficient power, Huang Yijiang’s idea is to combine energy
Directly purchase the engine technology to design Tianyue's unique turbine engine.
However, the traditional turbine structure relies on the engine exhaust gas to drive the turbine blades, and then compress more fresh air into the cylinder, thus greatly improving the combustion efficiency in the cylinder and increasing the output power.
There is a problem here, that is, on motorcycle turbine engines, the supercharging effect at low speeds is very poor, and the rider can hardly feel it, seriously affecting stability.
In particular, stability is very important for driving comfort and safety. If this point cannot be exceeded, the technology will be far from mature. It does not mean that supercharging and power enhancement are enough.
This situation almost always exists in ordinary car modification factories, and only regular large factories have mastered the real core technology.
Gu Fan was very confident, and Huang Yijiang also wanted to know what method he used to improve this instability without plagiarizing existing patents.
Gu Fan has not applied for a patent yet, so of course he will not disclose the core data. He will directly demonstrate it to Cao Mo and Huang Yijiang.
Cao Mo and the others were just outsiders watching the fun. There were graphics displayed on the computer screen that they couldn't understand. However, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang looked very serious. They could see that Gu Fan did master the relevant technology, which shocked them a little.
"Snapped!"
Huang Yijiang was about to explain in detail to Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji what the geometric curves displayed on the screen meant. At this time, the graphics showed that the engine's boost ratio would be close to four, and the engine on the workbench "
There was a crackling sound, and a string of electric arc lights jumped up, startling everyone, and then the test engine stalled.
Cao Mo walked over and saw that the ignition coil was completely burnt to black.
"The boost ratio can reach four, and the graphic display is so stable. It's really good. Have you replaced it with a new ignition coil? Let's see if we can reach the boost ratio you mentioned..." Xu Bin looked at Gu Fan
asked.
"The ignition coil happened to be out of stock, and we didn't prepare many accessories." Gu Fan said very frustrated.
He knew that the car builders were better than ordinary professional tuning factories in this aspect, but they were not as good as the core technologies mastered by regular car factories. If he missed today, it would be impossible to expect Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan to come over to see them just for this trivial matter.
Demonstrate it again.
Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang were silent. Although it was a pity, they still had to consider whether they would continue to help Gu Fan. Should they be called Cao Mo? Qian Wenhan misunderstood what interests they had in it?
The atmosphere was awkward for a short while, but Gu Fan was open-minded and seemed to quickly put the failure behind him. He changed the topic and asked Cao Mo:
"There are not many high-end hotels in Tianwan Village. The small seafood is good. Xiao Changmin. Do you remember? He is from Tianwan Village. In the past few years, he opened a small seafood restaurant at the south end of the industrial park. The business is very good."
We'll go to his place for a drink later, but the place is a bit rough."
Of the same group of people who entered Songting Detention Center, Cao Mo was detained for almost the longest time.
At that time, the detention center was overcrowded, and one bunk room could accommodate twenty or thirty people at the same time. Some people were detained for three to five days before leaving, and most people were detained for ten days to one month. Of course, there were some who were detained for longer than Cao Mo.
It is true that he has committed a major case and is in the detention center waiting for the final judgment of the court.
As a result, Cao Mo got to know hundreds of inmates of all kinds.
However, the vast majority of people entering and leaving the detention center are not innocent, and Cao Mo does not want to hang around in society, so he will naturally not think about contacting or seeking refuge with these so-called "inmates" after leaving.
Cao Mo also has an impression of Xiao Changmin. He remembers that he had just graduated from Soochow University and his girlfriend was molested by a street gangster while they were having supper. He was so angry that he beat one of the gangsters to fractures and was imprisoned. Later, the family gathered together
He was released after paying more than 200,000 yuan in compensation to others. Unexpectedly, he opened a restaurant.
Gu Fan mentioned that Xiao Changmin was from Tianwan Village, and Gu Fan’s home was not far from here. They had known each other for a long time, and later rented a factory in Tianwan Village Industrial Park.
Fang, the relationship is quite familiar.
"Okay, we don't have any other arrangements for the evening. We can just have a meal before leaving!" Cao Mo agreed and asked Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji to stay and have dinner together. But before he finished speaking, Xu Bin's cell phone rang.
Got up.
Xu Bin answered the phone, talked for a while, looked at Gu Fan apologetically, and said to Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan: "Hua Chen and Zhou Qizhi know that Mr. Qian will serve as the director of Tianyue Industry and will also represent Tianyue Industry."
I personally presided over the asset acquisition negotiations with Hua Chen, and I would like to have a dinner together tonight..."
"I'm just going to participate. When will I become the host?" Qian Wenhan also had a headache and Xu Binshun was too shameless to do so, and he shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Cao said that everything is decided by you. We will cooperate with you as followers, but you will be the one in charge of the work?" Xu Bin said with a smile.
He and Gu Fan were personal friends, but Qian Wenhan personally participated this time, which caused a sudden 180-degree change in Hua Chen's attitude. Of course, Xu Bin also wanted to ensure that he and Hua Chen reached an asset acquisition cooperation as soon as possible.
Of course, for tonight's dinner, we must first make arrangements with Hua Chen.
However, Qian Wenhan didn't care too much about Gu Fan's feelings and asked Cao Mo directly: "Would you like to go over and see Zhou Qizhi as well? If his attitude is relaxed, everything will be easier to discuss."
"Since Zhou Qizhi didn't mention me, I won't be attending today. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future. You can ask Mr. Ge if he is free. If he steps forward to promote it, he should be more sure. If there is any situation, we can contact you at any time." Cao Mo said.
Zhou Qizhi, Qian Wenhan, and Ge Jun were in the same circle. Even if there were any conditions in private, Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun could just come forward to talk. He followed him, but Zhou Qizhi was worried and couldn't let go of some things. Come and talk.
It was late, and it was thirty or forty kilometers back to the city. Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang did not delay, and accompanied Qian Wenhan directly from the Tianwan Village Industrial Park and rushed back to the city.
Cao Mo and Shen Ji stayed behind, and went to the industry with Gu Fan, Xu Aihua, Zhao Zhi, and the deputy general manager of the car builder's modification factory, Wen Shengtao, who was also brought over by Gu Fan to play with cars after retiring from Huachen. Walk to the Huanghai Seafood Restaurant on the south side of the park.
However, both Gu Fan and Xu Aihua were a little frustrated along the way.
In their view, if Tianyue Industrial and Hua Chen fail to negotiate a cooperation, there is a high possibility that the carmaker will be acquired. Now that Hua Chen's attitude has changed drastically, and Zhou Qizhi is giving Qian Wenhan such face, it means that they are There is no drama left.
Xu Bin introduced Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan as investors of Tianyue Industry, but he didn't go into too much detail. Gu Fan, Zhao Zhi, and Xu Aihua all subconsciously thought that Qian Wenhan was the major shareholder.
Qian Wenhan left without hesitation and didn't say anything before leaving, while Cao Mo "only" stayed to reminisce about the past out of consideration for his fellow inmates. In their opinion, what else could happen?
…………
…………
The south side of the industrial park is the living area. Like the industrial park in the early years when there was no planning, the village committee directly enclosed the area and sold it to investors to build factories. The living area is lined with private houses, some high and some low. There are even many old houses and bungalows, which are quite messy.
There are many restaurants and restaurants along the street, especially those in old houses and bungalows. There are many simple shops with pink and ambiguous lights. From a distance, the store is probably only three or four square meters, with a small sofa and a small dressing table.
Towards evening, in every small shop, there are two or three pretty girls sitting on small sofas, staring at the passers-by through the glass door, and knocking on the glass door from time to time to attract the attention of passers-by. , leaning down to reveal her full or squeezed breasts.
In urban areas within Central, such simple shops have almost been cleared away.
The "Huanghai Seafood" restaurant is a three-story private house for rent, and the tiles on the facade are peeling off. If the owner, Xiao Changmin, was not a "prisoner" who shared the same hardships, Gu Fan would not have invited Cao Mo over.
The restaurant is not looking good, but the business in the store is very good.
When he was in the detention center, Xiao Changmin was a thin young man, but now he has developed several circles. Only his face can be vaguely distinguished. When customers enter the store, they directly look at the dishes displayed in the freezer to order. Xiao Changmin does not hire an orderer. Now Er stood directly in front of the freezer in the hall and was busy greeting the guests. Cao Mo followed Gu Fan and exchanged a few brief greetings before going into the private room.
Apart from having an unforgettable memory of each other, to say that there is any true friendship is to deceive oneself and others.
After Xiao Changmin served the food, he rushed over and drank two beers with him, then he was busy greeting other regular customers. Cao Mo didn't have a particularly deep impression of Xiao Changmin, and he could also see that his attitude towards Gu Fan was a little colder than expected. It must be because of Gu Fan's current decline, right?
But this is normal.
Gu Fan said that Cao Mo was mainly engaged in investment now, but Xiao Changmin just thought that he and Shen Ji were tricked by Gu Fan into spending hundreds of thousands or millions of tickets for fun; at the wine table, Gu Fan mostly talked about playing with cars. .
Cao Mo and Shen Ji both liked cars. Although they were not as obsessed as Gu Fan, they still enjoyed hearing Gu Fan and Xu Aihua talk about playing with cars.
"...Gu Fan, you are entertaining friends here too!" While he was drinking and chatting about the car, the box door was pushed open and he saw Xiao Changmin walking in with three men carrying wine glasses. One of them greeted Gu Fan carelessly. , his eyes swept over the people at the wine table.
This man's face looks quite lean, with his cheeks somewhat sunken, but his suit is open and the Hermès belt stretches out his rounded belly, which gives people a very strange feeling.
From the way Cao Mo looked at him, he probably knew from Xiao Changmin that Gu Fan was hosting a banquet here, so he took the wine glass and pulled other friends over to toast him, but his intuition told Cao Mo that Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi didn't like this. However, this person came here not to please Gu Fan, Zhao Zhi and his wife, or to give them face.
And Xiao Changmin also knew that this man was not on good terms with Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi, and he was still talkative when they met him. This shows that he
My intuition just now was as sharp as ever.
"Zhou Jian, my brother-in-law," Gu Fan didn't like the round-bellied man coming over, but it was inconvenient for him to get angry, so he could only stand up and give Cao Mo a mouthful of disgust. Shen Ji introduced him, "I'm also in the industry. Park rented a factory building and started the home textile business. These two are..."
Cao Mo looked at Zhao Zhi, Xu Aihua, and Wen Shengtao, all of them had cold expressions and remained silent. He and Shen Ji just sat and listened to Gu Fan's introduction.
Gu Fan had already decided in his heart that the carmaker had no hope of being acquired by Tianyue Industrial. At this time, he introduced Cao Mo to Zhou Jian who had forced himself to do it. Shen Ji's identity was intentionally vague, thinking that they would toast and leave quickly to avoid having to worry about it. The chatter here makes everyone uncomfortable.
"I know, these two are the investors you found. Xiao Changmin didn't even figure out what was going on. I knew it as soon as I heard it," the round-belly man said loudly, standing in front of the wine table holding a wine glass, "The first few I just heard Gu Yuan say that the carmaker finally found a buyer. I advise you to put down the arrogance you have persisted in all these years. Now that a buyer can take over the carmaker, you should quickly pay off all the debts. Maybe you can still The remaining money will be used as a dowry for Xiaoya..."
If Gu Fan can invest all his wealth into modifying, he will not be at the mercy of others.
Hearing Zhou Jian's words, his face suddenly turned cold, he sat down, put the wine glass on the table, and said: "These two are my friends, I will invite them over for a meal. It doesn't matter whether the carmaker sells them or not. You worry."
"I don't want to worry, but Zhao Zhi asked Gu Yuan for another 20,000 yuan at noon. If I don't worry, no matter how much hard-earned money I earn, I can't fill your family's bottomless hole!" Zhou Jian's face was full of shame. said with a smile.
"Zhou Jian, you opened a home textile factory. My Gu Fan lent you the capital and you couldn't get the money back. Gu Fan got people to help you block their office. If you say something like this today, you are tearing down Gu Fan's desk. Isn't it too much..." Zhao Zhi couldn't hold back and said angrily.
"I remember, so Gu Yuan gave you a small three hundred thousand several times, and I didn't say a word. But you can't say that because I didn't say anything, you just thought my house was a bank!" Zhou Jian said with a smile. Looking at Zhao Zhi, he said, "Besides, I'm here to advise Gu Fan not to hold on to what he has and what he doesn't have. It's more serious to sell the carmaker as soon as possible. How can you dismantle your platform? Last time I introduced a friend and offered two million. He bought a carmaker and hired Gu Fan as a factory director with a salary of 200,000 yuan a year. Gu Fan drove people away without saying a word. He had a bad attitude and even let a dog bite people. It caused me such a huge loss of face. I am now I would like to see what price Gu Fan can offer to his new buyer..."
"The relationship between Mr. Gu and this brother-in-law seems a bit bad?" When Cao Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask Xu Aihua in a low voice.
"It's just a waste of money, but it's just a drunkard. Gu Fan's judgment of people is a bit poor..." Xu Aihua shook his head helplessly, and whispered about the Gu family to Cao Mo. Shen Ji knew.
This round-bellied man, Zhou Jian, has been friends with Gu Fan for a long time. Zhou Jian even married Gu Fan's sister Gu Yuan. He even relied on the resources of the Gu family and Gu Fan to become prosperous. Even his home textile factory, Gu Fan, successively Help with money and efforts.
Gu Fan is a fun-loving and loyal person. He helps with money and effort without even thinking about taking a share in Zhou Jian's home textile factory. However, this person had previously tried every means to please Gu Fan and followed Gu Fan around like a follower. Xu Aihua was early Just know.
However, when Gu Fan's car-playing car destroyed his family's fortune and ruined it, and the modification factory could no longer sustain itself, Zhou Jian's attitude suddenly changed.
Gu Fan asked his sister to borrow money to treat Zhao Zhi's father, and Zhou Jian came to collect the debt twice.
In order to urge Gu Fan to repay his debt, Zhou Jian found a buyer for Gu Fan without authorization; at that time, Gu Fan was so angry that he drove the buyer away.
Zhou Jian probably felt that he was already at odds with each other, so he forced himself to break up the trouble this time.
"Mengjie Home Textiles, Zhou Jian, I'm used to Gu Fan's temper, please take more care of Gu Fan," Gu Fan, Zhao Zhi was about to fall out half a step, but Zhou Jian still had the shamelessness to take out his business card and give it to Cao Mo, Shen Ji, "Gu Fan treats his modification factory like a treasure. You can't lower the price too much. Don't ask him to repay the money he has invested in these years. You have to let him repay all the foreign debts he owes." Pay it back!"
"I don't know how much money Mr. Gu spent on the car. I didn't want to make a quote in such a hurry. But since Mr. Zhou cares about Mr. Gu so much, it's not impossible to make an offer now. I'm afraid it's too hasty and Mr. Gu won't agree." Cao Mo picked up the wine glass, smiled at Gu Fan and said, "If Mr. Gu ties up with the carmaker, I can offer 50 million to buy the carmaker: 20 million of which is the purchase price of the carmaker's existing assets and technology. After signing the contract Just pay it; the other 30 million is Mr. Gu's salary for the next ten years, and it will be paid in ten years. Of course, Mr. Gu can also retain a certain share of the carmaker, but the details will be discussed according to this framework! I make a bid, is it better than The friend Mr. Zhou has found should be a little more generous, so Mr. Gu please give it serious consideration!"
Gu Fan was stunned. He had initially discussed the price with Xu Bin. The carmaker's existing assets and technology were priced at 10 million. He continued to stay at the carmaker as the technical director; but he had previously been optimistic about his expectations. , just hope that the carmaker can sell it for five or six million.
However, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang accompanied Qian Wenhan to meet Huang Qizhi from Huachen, and there was hope for the acquisition of Huachen's pickup truck production line. He thought that the carmaker had no value in the eyes of Tianyue Industrial, so he never thought that Cao Mo would drive out instead. Offer him a much higher price than expected?
"..." Gu Fan then thought about whether Cao Mo was joking, or maybe he was just trying to stimulate Zhou Jian for him, but he didn't know how to respond.
"Mr. Gu, I'm not kidding," Cao Mo said, "The current carmakers don't have much value to Tianyue Industry, so I plan to develop it as an independent modification laboratory after acquiring the carmakers.
, not to merge with Tianyue Industrial. I also know very well that if you want to build a car, even if you have to initially figure out the vehicle technology, 10 to 20 million is not enough. I also like cars. In the next two years, I
The plan is to spend 200 million on it first and see if some blisters can come out before we talk about other things..."
