On February 8, the sky was clear.

A convoy of six black Rolls-Royces drove into the Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park and entered the factory of Tiangong Automobile Group.

Chen Caijun, who got the news, waited there respectfully with his assistant to welcome Xia Yu and others.

"Chairman, good morning!"

"Good morning!"

After Xia Yu nodded to Chen Caijun, he introduced to Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping beside him: "Everyone, this is my right-hand man, Chen Caijun, president of Tiangong Automobile Group. ”

"Talents, these are Liu Zhihe, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office from the mainland, Guo Hong, director of China Automotive Corporation, Kong Yuming, director of the Machinery Department, and Wang Ping, president of Xiangjiang Xinhua News Agency. ”

"President Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hello, Director Liu. ”

"Hello, President Wang, welcome!"

“......”

Xia Yu smiled after watching Chen Caijun shake hands with a few people, and then instructed Chen Caijun: "Caijun, take everyone to the factory!"

"Okay, Chairman!"

"Everyone, please follow me!"

......

This time when he came to the factory, Xia Yu obviously felt that there was a significant change compared to the last time, that is, there were many more people in the No. 1 factory than last time, and many people were observing without hindering production.

There is no need for Xia Yu to ask, Chen Caijun took the initiative to explain: "Chairman, now other plants are rushing to build overnight, don't worry about the construction of hardware facilities, but there is a big gap in employees, in order to be able to put into production as soon as the new production line is assembled, so the company decided to speed up employee training with the combination of old and new, on-site observation and theory." ”

"On the premise of not affecting production, each old employee should bring 4 new employees, because the production is three shifts, so the staff training is also a combination of practice and theory to train in turn. ”

"The company has made an estimate, so that the talent can withstand it for the time being. ”

Xia Yu said with satisfaction: "This method is good, but there are many people in the factory, and we must also pay attention to production safety to avoid production accidents." ”

"Understood!" Chen Caijun replied with a serious face.

"Let's go on, start from the initial link, and introduce the complete production process to a few VIPs. ”

"Yes!"

"Then let's start this way. ”

......

Next, everything about Tiangong Automobile Group opened the eyes of Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and others.

The mechanized car-making process is much higher than the current car-making technology level of the mainland.

Liu Zhihe and Wang Ping may be in the clouds, but Guo Hong and Kong Yuming, two people in the industry, can see the essence, which is why the two of them were sent over with Liu Zhihe, that is, they want to truly understand the car-making process of Tiangong Automobile Group.

Chen Caijun was also reminded by Xia Yu before, so in the process of observation, in addition to introducing himself, he also brought in experts to introduce and show his car-making skills without reservation.

Not only that, Chen Caijun also did his homework in advance, and at the same time as he introduced Volkswagen Santana for a horizontal comparison, this comparison, Santana was defeated!

All of this content was recorded by Guo Hong and Kong Yuming in a notebook.

They are also part of the preparatory team for the Shanghai automobile project, so they have a certain understanding of Volkswagen Santana's technology, so they can tell that what Chen Caijun said is not an exaggeration.

Until the final end of the vehicle off the assembly line, Chen Caijun pointed to the two sedans of the Divine Reputation Generation and the Glory Generation, and proudly introduced: "This Divine Reputation Generation and this Glory Generation are the main models of our Tiangong Automobile!"

"At present, the Divine Reputation Generation has received orders for 14,225 units. ”

"And the Glory Generation received an order for 33,640 units. ”

"The total order for the two cars is more than $750 million!"

Hearing this series of data, Kong Yuming, Guo Hong and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their eyes full of envy.

At this time, Liu Zhihe was shocked, and asked curiously: "President Chen, I heard that your company has six cars, and the orders received before have reached two billion US dollars, right?"

Chen Caijun looked at Xia Yu, and then said with a smile: "That's the previous data, this week after I came back, there are still many dealers who took the initiative to come to the door, and now the total orders for our six cars have reached 144,360 units, and the total order has just reached 2.6 billion US dollars!"

"Another $600 million in orders in a week!!"

"So many, so shocking!"

Guo Hong, Kong Yuming and the others were shocked to the point of numbness.

The current level of Tiangong Automobile Group completely crushes the entire continent!

Chen Caijun smiled and said confidently: "This is just the beginning, it has only been less than half a month since I participated in the Geneva International Motor Show. ”

"Although our Tiangong Automobile is a new brand, the market's recognition and acceptance of our Tiangong Automobile are very high. ”

"The level of technology is one thing, but on the other hand, our models are very new and highly sought after by dealers and consumers. ”

"When you look at our models and compare them with the sedan models of other automobile companies in your impression, do you feel that our models are more atmospheric and more aesthetically pleasing?"

Everyone's eyes converged on the car in front of them again.

Wang Ping said with emotion: "When I saw the car assembly just now, I wanted to say, your car is indeed very beautiful and fashionable, what word can be used to describe it......"

"Curvy!"

Seeing Wang Ping frowning and thinking, Xia Yu reminded with a light smile.

"That's right, curvy!"

Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said.

"Mr. Xia, you are still more level, I'm a layman who is ugly, haha. ”

Xia Yu chuckled and shook his head, and said modestly: "I don't know much either, that is, I have heard other people's introductions before." ”

"Guys, would you like to get in the car and experience it for yourself?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all ready to move.

"Mr. Xia, is this convenient?"

Although Guo Hong was looking forward to it, he asked a little embarrassedly.

"How can it be inconvenient, let's go, let's go to the test site outside, which is more wide, whether it is for your own test drive or ride experience. ”

After speaking, Xia Yu directly asked Chen Caijun to lead the way to the test site, and at the same time asked him to call the accompanying driver.

Soon, the group came to the test site, and under Chen Caijun's arrangement, Guo Hong, Wang Ping and others went to experience it for themselves.

Those who can drive can take a test drive, and those who can't drive can take a ride.

Xia Yu and Chen Caijun sat in the lounge chatting, occasionally watching them have fun at the test site through the window. Bibi eBook

After a long time, seeing Guo Hong and others finish their test drive, Xia Yu and Chen Caijun came out and got back together with Guo Hong and others.

"Guys, how was the experience?"

Xia Yu asked with a light smile.

Guo Hong said with emotion: "Although the direction of the cab is different, it does not affect the driving experience, which is great!"

"Moreover, what touched me the most was the technical content!"

"Just now, the staff who bothered you showed me a reputation that the first generation of cars is equipped with a navigation system, as well as automatic body height adjustment, power steering, cruise control and other functions, which opened my eyes!"

"Santana can't compare to it!"

Kong Yuming sighed with emotion, but also couldn't help but smile wryly: "We have been sitting in the well and watching the sky, the mainland makes cars by ourselves, and when I see the technology of Volkswagen Santana, I think it is top-notch." ”

"It is not until now that I have seen the technology of your Tiangong automobile with my own eyes, and I know what the most advanced car-making technology is!"

"The continent has been separated from the world for too long......"

"Hey......"

In the end, Kong Yuming couldn't help but sigh.

When Guo Hong, Wang Ping and others heard this, they were immediately silent, and their faces were bitter.

In particular, Wang Ping, who was sent to Xiangjiang for a few years, was most deeply touched by Kong Yuming's words, and he had seen a lot, so he naturally knew the gap between the mainland and the outside world.

But he can't help it, and there is no need to mention the past.

Fortunately, in 1978, the mainland changed its strategy, and everything was developing in a good direction, and that was enough.

Kong Yuming and the others have a heavy heart, plus they have understood everything they want to know, how to decide the specific matter, it is the above matter, and they have no right.

Therefore, after staying in Tiangong Automobile Group for a while, they offered their farewell.

Xia Yu also knew that they were in a hurry to go back, so he only invited them to lunch at noon and parted ways with them.

In the afternoon of the same day, Guo Hong, Kong Yuming, and others rushed back to the mainland without stopping, and then flew back to the capital by plane from the nearest airport.

......

In a conference room in the mechanics department.

Minister Sun Xin and a group of deputies, Wang Zijing, president of China Automobile Corporation, and Zhang Hongchuan, head of the preparatory group for the Shanghai car project, gathered together, all of whom listened attentively to Guo Hong's introduction of what he had seen and heard in Tiangong Automobile Group.

Later, Kong Yuming also made additions from his point of view.

After listening to the two of them, the whole conference room was dull.

It was really Guo Hong's mouth that shocked them with information about Tiangong Automobile Group.

Whether it is the modern factory of Tiangong Automobile Group, or the technical content of their current six cars, or the order volume of Tiangong Automobile Group, each of them has had a huge impact.

After a long time, Minister Sun looked at Zhang Hongchuan and then at the others, and said in a deep voice: "The state has investigated Volkswagen Santana through various channels, and it can be determined that what Mr. Xia of Xiangjiang said is very objective, and Santana is indeed a failed product launched by Volkswagen. ”

"Although it is a failure for Volkswagen, it is undeniable that it is still very advanced for our country's car manufacturing technology. ”

"If before, the car companies in the United States, island countries and other countries rejected us, and we didn't have a choice, then it would be fine. ”

"The most important thing now is that the more technologically advanced Tiangong Automobile Group is willing to open all technologies to us, let us choose, and build as many factories as we want!"

"And one more important thing!"

"Tiangong Automobile Group belongs to Mr. Xia, a patriotic compatriot, and Mr. Xia's patriotic heart has been unanimously recognized by the above, and we don't have to have other doubts. ”

How could Wang Zijing, president of China Automobile Corporation, not understand Minister Sun's attitude.

Whether it is reasonable or reasonable, it is indeed more appropriate to choose the sudden appearance of Tiangong Automobile Group, and he himself prefers this choice.

He immediately chimed in: "Minister Sun, I completely agree with your point of view, and it is a better choice to cooperate with Tiangong Automobile Group. ”

"We've been talking to Volkswagen for years, but there are still a lot of differences. ”

"On the contrary, Mr. Xia is very generous, and if we cooperate with him, the progress will definitely be very fast. ”

Zhang Hongchuan took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said: "From the overall situation, I agree to cooperate with Tiangong Automobile Group. ”

"But I still have one more concern. ”

"After all, we have been talking with Volkswagen for so long, and Volkswagen is also one of the few people willing to talk to us, and there must be people abroad watching, if we suddenly give up negotiations with Volkswagen, will it have any bad impact on the country's image?"

As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent.

This is indeed a matter of concern.

Rao is Minister Sun can't make up his mind, after all, this is a matter involving the country's image.

Fortunately, Minister Sun is also a person who came from the war-torn era, has experienced strong winds and waves, has rich experience, and quickly thought of a solution.

He said to Zhang Hongchuan: "In this way, Team Leader Zhang, you can tell Volkswagen that we still welcome cooperation with Volkswagen, but we need them to show sincerity and come up with car-making technology comparable to Tiangong Automobile Group." ”

'The ball is played at them, it's normal competition and if they don't want it, it's their own choice and we can stand up. ”

"If they don't agree to give the latest technology, then we give them another option, we can also cooperate with the Santana, but the Shanghai Tuo Automobile Company can't cooperate with it again, and Volkswagen has to build a new factory from scratch. ”

"This is a good solution, we can stand it!"

"That's right, the public is playing tricks with us, we still have a lot of face in doing this, I support it!"

......

Several other deputy ministers expressed their opinions.

Of course, Zhang Hongchuan has no opinion.

"Minister, then I will do what you instruct!"

"Don't worry, you go back to Shanghai first, and then call me when you arrive, and if there is any other new situation, I will tell you." ”

"Understood!" Zhang Hongchuan understood in seconds and nodded in response.

After that, the meeting ended and the crowd dispersed.

Minister Sun took Guo Hong and Kong Yuming to visit their superiors and report on relevant work, and finally received support.

After Zhang Hongchuan, who returned to Shanghai, received a clear order again, he was very settled, and after following the ventilation in Shanghai, he found the general representative of Volkswagen in Shanghai, Werner · Dr. P. Schmidt.

"Zhang, are you sure you're not kidding?"

After listening to Zhang Hongchuan's words, Werner · Dr. P. Schmidt stood up abruptly and said with an angry expression.

Zhang Hongchuan was already ready when he came, so he said with an unchanged face: "Dr. Schmidt, we are also old friends, but from the level of national interests, I can only say that the sincerity of Tiangong Automobile Group is greater and more attractive!"

Werner S. Dr. P. Schmidt was very angry and slammed: "Tiangong Automobile is just a new company, it cannot be compared with our great Volkswagen company, their technology is definitely inferior to ours, you must have been deceived by him!"

PS: I'm sorry, the census is done overtime, and it's a little more than a little bit when I come back to write, and I haven't washed the shower yet, o(╥_╥)o
