Chapter 46 Sunflower Technology Research
"Cut, the Fuso people are very bad, what is there to worship. ”
Qi Guoqing pursed his lips, obviously disagreeing with Gu Ming's assertion.
"No, that's called the spirit of craftsmanship! Fusang still has a lot to learn from.
Honda is one of them!
Xiao Qi, it is a good thing to have national integrity, but you can't blindly excite,
If others are ahead of us, we will learn and catch up with them.
That's the right thing to do."
Luo Li said to Qi Guoqing earnestly.
In his mind, Toyota's car-making concept that was praised by the world in the automotive field in his previous life, came to mind.
Honda's engine technology and Mazda's persistence and dedication to rotary engines.
"Well, the word craftsman spirit is well used!"
Gu Ming suddenly echoed Luo Li's words and smiled at him.
"Boss Gu, I want to set up a scientific research center in Bayu.
I want you to help me recruit some people and see if I can develop a good engine. ”
Luo Li suddenly asked Gu Ming, who was concentrating on bowing his head.
He thought that Gu Ming would be taken aback when he heard his words.
Then I will take the opportunity to solicit them, and I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
But unexpectedly, Gu Ming only shook slightly, and then he didn't react.
Luo Li was slightly stunned, he glanced at Qi Guoqing, who was also a little overwhelmed, and said tentatively again:
"Boss Gu, I know that you have lost confidence in the research and development of motorcycle engines.
I also know that you are very disgusted by the utilitarian behavior of selling out technology.
But this is the business community,
There's nothing wrong with those factories and institutes that sell engines under the sign of scientific research centers.
Of course, you're not wrong. ”
"It's not that I don't have confidence in developing engines. Gu Ming suddenly said,
Then he stood up and walked to the basin next to him and washed his hands.
Luo Li and the others looked at the oil-stained engine just now, only to see that the shell of the engine had been reinstalled.
"Repaired?" Qi Guoqing was stunned, he didn't expect Gu Ming to find out the fault so quickly and complete the repair.
"Well, just two gaskets are aging, just replace them with new ones!" Gu Ming replied while washing his hands.
"You're disappointed in my country's motorcycle culture, aren't you?"
Suddenly, Luo Li interrupted the conversation between the two.
But Gu Ming remained silent, slowly grabbed the soap and applied it to his arm.
"Boss Gu, tell you the truth.
Actually, I'm not optimistic about the future of motorcycles either.
In another 10 years, China will enter the era of automobile popularization.
Motorcycles will eventually come to an end. ”
Gu Ming slowly stood up, his eyes were red and he looked at Luo Li with anger on his face.
"I know you don't like to hear that. But that's the truth, like it or not!"
"Bang dang!"
Gu Ming kicked the water basin on the ground.
"Da Ming, don't do this!" Qi Guoqing saw that the situation was not good and was about to go up to stop him, but as soon as he got up, he was blocked by Luo Li's hand.
"You want to play with motorcycles, you want to work on engines, you want your motorcycles to fly on the international stage.
It's a dream, but it's a dream that can be realized. ”
With that, Luo Li walked to the table, opened a wallet that he had taken out of his trouser pocket when he was doing laundry, and took out a passbook from it.
"Here is half a million, and I want to develop an EFI, water-cooled, multi-valve, 100cc, four-stroke, electric-start engine.
Can you help me make it happen?"
The air freezes suddenly.
When Luo Li said this string of professional numbers and nouns, Gu Ming and Qi Guoqing were a little stunned.
After a long time, Gu Ming's expression gradually softened,
whispered to Luo Li:
"I don't need so much, 10,000 yuan! Give me a machine tool, a few turners, I can try." ”
"But I developed this engine to sell it!" Luo Li confessed.
After Gu Ming heard this, the glimmer of light in his eyes that were originally full of hope dimmed again.
"A raccoon dog!" Gu Ming shook his head and smiled.
"This engine is actually a technology that others have designated to buy, and they invested 15 million!"
"Huh?" Qi Guoqing's jaw couldn't close.
He looked at Gu Ming, and saw that Gu Ming was also full of shock.
"If you are an entrepreneur and have 15 million, will you continue to develop new engines?
If you are a buyer, the engine technology you bought for 15 million yuan will be thrown away after a year or two?
This is business behavior, you know technology, I understand marketing, each takes what he needs. ”
"Okay. ”
Gu Ming suddenly smiled helplessly, then walked into the back room, and walked out in a shirt after a while.
"You don't want to ask, what am I going to do with this 15 million?"
Luo Li asked Gu Ming, who had a new look.
Gu Ming shook his head and laughed.
"What do you want to do that has something to do with me?"
"Of course, there is! Establish a scientific research center, set up a factory, and build a track comparable to Suzuka.
Set up a team, go to the international motorcycle GP, and let the red flag plant on the highest podium. ”
"Smack!"
Gu Ming looked at Luo Li, who was only wearing a pair of underwear and smiling at the light at the door, and was stunned.
In a trance, he stepped on the enamel basin that he had kicked over, and he staggered to the ground.
"What you say is true?
But you just said that you are not optimistic about the future of motorcycles.
Why ......"
Luo Li stretched out his hand, pulled him up, and asked seriously:
"This is my business, your business is to help me open a company in Bayu with Qi Guoqing, build a factory, set up a research and development center, and build the best engine in my country. ”
"You still want to sell motorcycles!"
"No, it's called capital accumulation, it's technology accumulation! It's reputation accumulation!
When our racing cars appear on the international stage,
The brand we create will be seen by the world.
In the future, when we go to acquire foreign motorcycle and automobile technology, we will get twice the result with half the effort.
It's much better than doing it behind closed doors!
That's my purpose,
Of course, it doesn't conflict with your purpose and complements each other!
You need grades to chase your dreams, and I need grades to achieve my dreams!"
Luo Li smiled and explained to Gu Ming, who was covered in a mixture of engine oil and mud.
In my eyes, I seemed to see the appearance of a racing driver covered in mud whistling and speeding!
This was the first step in Luo Li's desire to start an automobile company.
Use motorcycles with lower technical thresholds as stepping stones, the first step into the automobile manufacturing industry!
This journey is somewhat similar to the Lifan cars in the previous life.
But Luo Li's template is Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
When I decided to do something in the automotive industry,
He is well aware of the constraints that will exist in the development of the private automobile industry in China.
So he wanted to use a roundabout strategy to go abroad where car culture is prevalent.
Even, he has already chosen a name for the motorcycle company,
Sunflower Engine Technology R&D Center!
He fantasizes that in a year's time, the motorcycle GP will have the participation of the Xia Guosunhua team.
At that time, the locomotive enterprises from the Xia Kingdom will appear in front of the world for the first time.
This plan, Luo Lichu set it as the Sunflower Project!
