Chapter 381: Acquisition
Gu Fan talked to his wife, and then tried his last effort to introduce the engine turbocharging system that he and Xu Aihua had newly designed and was testing when Cao Mo first arrived at the factory.
Domestic modification rarely involves the engine structure, and foreign countries want to improve the performance of old cars, there are many modification factories will add their own design of turbocharging system, but the supercharging ratio can be three, it is already quite a professional modification factory.
The newly designed system designed by Gu Fan and Xu Aihua can theoretically reach a boost ratio of five, which is also the technology they are preparing to apply for a patent in the near future;
"How can it be reflected?" Qian Wenhan usually doesn't drive himself, but today he saw the situation in the garage and the assembled cars that were not very complete, and he was also very curious about how Gu Fan and them usually worked.
Gu Fan brought a few pairs of noise-canceling earmuffs over, put them on for everyone, and then took out a notebook, connected it with several parts of the front and rear of the engine with a data cable, and opened the software to introduce the graphic display of several key data such as the boost ratio, but turned on the machine to demonstrate to everyone - the specific test instrument, only Huang Yijiang and his professionals know the principle.
Huang Yijiang and Xu Bin didn't expect that Gu Fan's newly designed system could achieve such a high boost ratio, and they had never heard Gu Fan mention it before, so they sat down with interest.
Turbocharging is the most common means of increasing engine output, and it has been common in the field of automobile engines for a long time, but it is not without precedent in motorcycle engines.
Huang Yijiang presided over the Tianyue Industrial Product Design and Development and Testing Center, and even though the work carried out at the same time was very limited, different technical routes were tracked.
In order to solve the problem of insufficient power, Huang Yijiang thought of a plan to combine the engine technology that can be purchased directly to design a unique turbo engine of Tianyue.
However, the traditional turbine structure relies on the exhaust gas of the engine to drive the turbine blades, and then compresses more fresh air into the cylinder, thereby greatly improving the combustion efficiency in the cylinder and increasing the output power.
One of the problems here is that on the turbo engine of the motorcycle, the supercharging effect at low revs is very poor, and the rider hardly feels it, which seriously affects the stability.
In particular, stability is very important to the comfort and safety of driving, and if you can't break through this, the technology is far from mature, not that you can achieve supercharging and power enhancement.
This situation almost exists in ordinary car modification factories, and only regular large factories have mastered the real core technology.
Seeing that Gu Fan was quite confident, Huang Yijiang also wanted to know what method he used to improve this instability, and he couldn't plagiarize the existing patents.
Gu Fan has not yet applied for a patent, so of course he will not reveal the core data, and will directly demonstrate it to Cao Mo and Huang Yijiang at the moment.
Cao Mo is a layman watching the excitement, there is a graphic display on the computer screen, and they can't understand it, but Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang look very serious, and they can see that Gu Fan has indeed mastered the relevant technology, and they are a little shocked.
"Smack!"
Huang Yijiang was about to explain in detail to Cao Mo, Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji what the apparent geometric curves on the screen represented, at this time, the boost ratio of the graphic display engine was about to be close to four, and the engine on the workbench "crackled", and a string of electric lone flames jumped, startling everyone, and then the test engine went out.
Cao Mo walked over and saw that it was [fo] ignition coil burned black.
"The boost ratio can reach four, and the graphic display is so stable, it's really good, is there a new ignition coil to be replaced, let's see if it can reach the boost ratio you said......" Xu Bin looked at Gu Fan and asked.
"The ignition coil happened to be out of stock, and there were not many accessories prepared. Gu Fan said very frustratedly.
He knows that the carmaker is stronger than the general professional modification factory in this regard, but it is not as good as the core technology mastered by the regular car factory, and it is impossible to expect Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan to make a special trip to see them demonstrate this little thing today.
Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang were silent, although it was a pity, but they also had to consider helping Gu Fan again, did they make Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan misunderstand what interests they had in it?
The atmosphere was embarrassing for a while, but Gu Fan was open-minded, and seemed to quickly put the failure behind him, and asked Cao Mo instead of the topic:
"Here in Tianwan Village, there are not many tall hotels, and it is good to cook small seafood - Xiao Changmin, do you remember, he is a native of Tianwan Village, and in recent years, he has opened a small seafood restaurant in the south of the industrial park, and the business is very good. After a while we went to his place for a drink, but the place was a little more basic. β
Of the same group of people who entered the Songting Detention Center, Cao Mo was almost the longest detainees.
At that time, the detention center was overcrowded, and one bunk room could sleep twenty or thirty people at the same time, and some people were locked up for three or five days before leaving, and most people were detained for ten to a month.
As a result, Cao Mo also knew hundreds of various inmates.
However, the vast majority of people who enter and leave the detention center are not innocent, and Cao Mo does not want to fool around in society, so naturally he will not think of contacting or taking refuge with these so-called "fellow inmates" after leaving.
Xiao Changmin, Cao Mo also has an impression, I remember that he had just graduated from Soochow University, and his girlfriend was molested by street thugs when he was eating supper, he was angry and broke one of the thugs and was locked up, and later the family made up more than 200,000 yuan to compensate the family for reconciliation before being let out, but he didn't expect him to open a restaurant.
Gu Fan said that Xiao Changmin is a native of Tianwan Village, and Gu Fan's house is not far from here, so he has known each other for a long time, and later rented a factory in Tianwan Village Industrial Park, and the relationship is quite familiar.
"Okay, we don't have any other arrangements for the evening, we can have a meal before leaving!" Cao Mo agreed to come down and asked Qian Wenhan and Shen Ji to stay and eat together, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Bin's mobile phone rang.
Xu Bin answered the phone, talked for a while, glanced at Gu Fan with some apologies, and said to Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan: "Huachen Zhou Qizhi, I know that Mr. Qian will be the director of Tianyue Industry, and he will personally preside over the asset acquisition negotiations with Huachen on behalf of Tianyue Industry, and I want to have dinner together tonight......"
"I'll just participate, when will I become the host?" Qian Wenhan also had a headache Xu Bin's cheekiness to climb the pole, and shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Cao said, it's up to you to decide, and we will cooperate with you as a follower, but are you the one who presides over the work?"
He and Gu Fan have personal friends, but Qian Wenhan personally participated in this time, which made Hua Chen's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees, Xu Bin of course also wants to ensure that he reaches an asset acquisition cooperation with Hua Chen as soon as possible, and tonight's dinner is of course the arrangement of Hua Chen's side first.
Qian Wenhan didn't care too much about Gu Fan's feelings, and asked Cao Mo directly: "Do you want to go over and see Zhou Qizhi too?" β
"Since Zhou Qizhi didn't mention me, I won't be attending today, and I will have the opportunity to meet in the future. You ask Mr. Ge if he is free, he should be more sure to come forward to promote it - if there is any situation, we will contact us at any time. Cao Mo said.
Zhou Qizhi and Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun are people in the same circle, even if there are any conditions in private, Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun can come out for a face-to-face interview, he followed the past, but Zhou Qizhi had some scruples, and some things could not be let go to talk.
The time was not early, it was thirty or forty kilometers back to the city, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang did not delay, and directly accompanied Qian Wenhan to leave Tianwan Village Industrial Park and rush back to the city.
Cao Mo and Shen Ji stayed, followed Gu Fan, Xu Aihua, Zhao Zhi, and Wen Shengtao, the deputy general manager of the Chewler Modification Factory, who was also pulled by Gu Fan to play with the car after retiring from Huachen, and walked to the Huanghai Small Seafood Restaurant on the south side of the industrial park.
It's just that along the way, whether it was Gu Fan or Xu Aihua, they were all a little depressed.
In their opinion, if Tianyue Industry and Huachen can't cooperate, the turner still has a great possibility of being acquired, and now Huachen's attitude has changed greatly, and Zhou Qizhi has given Qian Wenhan face like this, which means that there is no drama on their side.
And Xu Bin introduced Cao Mo and Qian Wenhan, saying that they were investors in Tianyue Industry, but they would not 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 he didn't say anything before leaving, and Cao Mo "just" remembered the feelings of his fellow inmates and stayed to reminisce about the past, so in their opinion, what kind of drama could there be?
............
............
The south side of the industrial park is the living area, and in the early years, there was no planning in the industrial park, and the village committee directly enclosed the area to rent and sell it to investors to build factories for rent, and the living area is full of private houses along the street, some are tall and some are short, and there are even many old houses and bungalows, which are quite messy.
There are many restaurants along the street, especially those old houses and bungalows with many simple shops with pink and ambiguous lights, and from a distance, the storefront may be three or four square meters, with a small sofa and a small dresser.
In the evening, there are two or three fancy girls sitting on small sofas in each small shop, staring at passers-by through the glass door, knocking on the glass door from time to time to attract the attention of passers-by, leaning down to reveal their full or real or squeezed breasts.
In the inner part of Central, these humble shops have almost been cleared.
The "Yellow Sea Small Seafood" restaurant is rented as a three-story house, and the tiles on the faΓ§ade are a little peeling off - if it weren't for the shopkeeper Xiao Changmin who is also a "cellmate" who shares the suffering, Gu Fan would not have been able to invite Cao Mo over.
The restaurant does not sell well, but the business in the store is excellent.
When he was in the detention center, Xiao Changmin was a thin young man, but at this time, he had developed horizontally several times, and only the shape of his face could be vaguely distinguished-the guests entered the store and directly looked at the dishes displayed in the freezer and ordered, Xiao Changmin did not hire an orderer, so he stood directly in front of the freezer in the hall and was busy greeting the guests.
In addition to having an unforgettable memory of each other, it would be self-deception to say that there is really any friendship.
Xiao Changmin rushed over to accompany him to drink two beers after serving the food, and then he was busy greeting other regular customers - Cao Mo was not particularly impressed by Xiao Changmin, and he could see that his attitude towards Gu Fan was slightly colder than expected, it should be because Gu Fan is now broken, right?
But that's normal.
And Gu Fan said that Cao Mo is mainly doing investment now, Xiao Changmin just thought that he and Shen Ji were fooled by Gu Fan to smash hundreds of thousands or millions of tickets;
Cao Mo and Shen Ji both like cars, although they are not obsessed with Gu Fan to the extent that they are not obsessed with it, but listening to Gu Fan and Xu Aihua talk about playing with cars, they are also very fond of it.
β...... Gu Fan, you are also here to entertain friends!" was drinking and chatting with the car, the box door was pushed open, and Xiao Changmin walked in with three men with wine glasses, one of them greeted Gu Fan with a big grin, and his eyes swept over to everyone on the wine table.
This person's face looks quite lean, and his cheeks are a little sunken, but the suit is open, and the Hermes belt protrudes from the round belly, giving people a very strange feeling.
Cao Mo looked at him, he should have known from Xiao Changmin's mouth that Gu Fan was feasting here, and he deliberately took a wine glass and pulled other friends over to toast, but his intuition told Cao Mo that Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi didn't like this person, and this person didn't come here to please Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi and his wife, or to give them face.
And Xiao Changmin also knew that this person was not on good terms with Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi, and he still talked a lot when he encountered him, which showed that his intuition just now was as sharp as ever.
"Zhou Jian, my brother-in-law," Gu Fan didn't like the round-bellied man coming, but it was inconvenient for him to have a seizure, so he could only stand up hard, and squeezed his mouth without hiding his disgust to introduce Cao Mo and Shen Ji, "I also rented a factory in the industrial park and did a home textile business - these two are ......"
Cao Mo saw that Zhao Zhi, Xu Aihua, and Wen Shengtao all had cold faces and did not move, and he and Shen Ji also sat and listened to Gu Fan's introduction.
Gu Fan had already decided in his heart that the carsmith had no hope of being acquired by Tianyue Industry, and at this time, he was deliberately vague when he introduced the identities of Cao Mo and Shen Ji to Zhou Jian, thinking that they had toasted and left quickly, so as not to make everyone uncomfortable by chattering here.
"I know, these two are the investors you found - Xiao Changmin didn't figure out what was going on, I knew it as soon as I heard it," the round-bellied man said loudly while holding a wine glass and standing in front of the wine table, "I heard from Gu Yuan a few days ago that the carsmith finally found a buyer." I advise you to let go of the arrogance that you have insisted on all these years, and now that there is a buyer to take over the carpenter, you can hurry up - pay off all the debts, maybe there is still a few money left for Xiaoya as a dowry......"
Gu Fan can smash all his net worth into it to play modification, and he will not be the master of being manipulated by others.
When he heard 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, whether the carmaker sells it or not, you don't have to worry about it." β
"I don't want to worry about it, but Zhao Zhi asked Gu Yuan for 20,000 yuan at noon, if I don't worry about it, no matter how much hard money I make, I won't be able to fill the bottomless pit of your family!" Zhou Jian said with a smile on his face.
"Zhou Jian, you open a textile factory, my Gu Fan borrowed the capital to you, you can't get the payment back, Gu Fan pulled someone to help you block someone's office, you said such things today, is it too much to dismantle Gu Fan's platform...... Zhao Zhi couldn't hold it back, and said angrily.
"I remember, so Gu Yuan gave you a small 300,000 yuan a few times before and after, and I didn't say anything, but I can't say that I don't keep quiet, you just treat my family as a bank!" Zhou Jianpi looked at Zhao Zhi with a smile and said, "Besides, I came over to persuade Gu Fan not to insist on those who don't have it, and it is only right to sell the carpenter quickly, where is the demolition of your platform?" Last time, I introduced a friend, paid 2 million to buy a car owner, and also hired 200,000 servants Gu Fan as the factory director every year, Gu Fan didn't say a word, he blew people away, and his attitude was bad, so he almost let the dog bite people, which caused me to lose so much face, and now I want to see what price Gu Fan can offer with his new buyer......"
"Mr. Gu and this brother-in-law, the relationship seems to be a bit bad?" Cao Mo couldn't help but ask Xu Aihua in a low voice when she saw this scene.
"Draining money but handing over wine and meat, Gu Fan's vision of people is a little worse......" Xu Aihua shook helplessly, and whispered to Cao Mo and Shen Ji about the Gu family.
This round-bellied man Zhou Jian and Gu Fan have been friends for a long time, Zhou Jian also married Gu Fan's sister Gu Yuan, and even relied on the resources of the Gu family and Gu Fan to develop, and even his home textile factory Gu Fan helped to contribute money and efforts.
Gu Fan is fun, righteous, and didn't think about taking a stake in Zhou Jian's home textile factory when he helped to contribute money and efforts, and this person did everything possible to please Gu Fan earlier, and followed Gu Fan to saddle up before and after the horse, like a fart, Xu Aihua knew it very early.
However, when Gu Fan smashed his family into it by playing with a car, it was broken, and it was difficult to maintain the modification factory, Zhou Jian's attitude changed abruptly.
Gu Fan asked his sister to borrow money to treat Zhao Zhi's father, and Zhou Jian came to the door to collect the debt twice.
In order to urge Gu Fan to repay his debts, Zhou Jian found a buyer for Gu Fan without authorization;
Zhou Jian probably felt that he had torn his face, so he forced himself to come over and dismantle the stage this time.
"Mengjie Home Textiles Zhou Jian, Gu Fan has this temper, I'm used to it, and please take care of Gu Fan more," Gu Fan and Zhao Zhi were about to turn their faces in half a step, but Zhou Jian was still cheeky enough to take out his business card and send it to Cao Mo and Shen Ji, "Gu Fan treats his modification factory as a treasure, you can't lower the price too much-don't let him return the money he has invested in all these years, he has to pay off all the foreign debts he owes!"
"I don't know how much money Mr. Gu spent playing with the car, and I didn't want to make such a quick offer, but since Mr. Zhou cares about Mr. Gu so much, it's not impossible to give an offer now, I'm afraid that Mr. Gu will not agree too hastily," Cao Mo picked up the wine glass and said with a smile at Gu Fan, "If Mr. Gu ties up with the carmaker, I can buy the carwright for 50 million: 20 million of them are the purchase money of the carmaker's existing assets and technology, which will be paid when the contract is signed, and the other 30 million is Mr. Gu's salary for the next ten years, which will be paid in ten years." Of course, Mr. Gu can also keep a certain amount of shares in the car, and the specific details are still talked about according to this framework! I make an offer, is it a little more generous than the friend that Mr. Zhou found, and please consider it seriously!"
Gu Fan was stunned, he and Xu Bin had initially negotiated the price, the existing assets and technology of the car maker, the price was 10 million, and he continued to stay in the car maker as the technical leader, and he was more optimistic in his heart, he expected the car maker to sell five or six million.
However, Xu Bin and Huang Yijiang accompanied Qian Wenhan to meet Huang Qizhi of Huachen, and the acquisition of Huachen's pickup production line was expected, and he thought that the carmaker had no value in the eyes of Tianyue Industry, so why didn't he expect Cao Mo to offer him a much higher price than estimated?
"......" Gu Fan turned his mind and wondered if Cao Mo was joking, maybe it was purely to help him stimulate Zhou Jian, but he didn't know how to respond.
"Mr. Gu, I'm not joking," Cao Mo said, "The current Turnwright doesn't have much value to Tianyue Industry, so I plan to develop it as an independent modification laboratory after acquiring Turnwright, and not merge with Tianyue Industry." I also know very well that if you want to build a car, even if you initially find out the whole vehicle technology, one or two million is far from enough - I also like cars, and in the next two years, I plan to throw 200 million into it first, and see if I can come up with some blisters before talking about other ......"
