As for the joint development of a modular series of engines with itself, the board of directors of AMC quickly made a decision: in principle, it is possible, but it is necessary to discuss some specific cooperation details with Chen Geng.

After receiving this call from Jack Welch, Chen Geng had some surprises, he thought that this matter would drag on a little longer, and there were some small shareholders who were making trouble and secretly doing something wrong, but ...... No! Not at all!

If you think about it carefully, this point is actually very easy to understand, no one is a fool, and without infringing on their core interests, who would offend the major shareholder who holds the absolute controlling stake in their company for such a trivial matter? Isn't this the brain kicked by a donkey? There really is that kind of guy who can't figure it out, and he can't get into the position of a shareholder of such a large company as AMC.

Thinking about it and naturally refreshed, Chen Geng asked Jack Welch: "Of course it's no problem, then...... What do you want to discuss?"

"First, since this project is a joint project between you and AMC, AMC will share the corresponding intellectual property ...... with you in proportion to its investment."

Jack Welch was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Chen Geng: "This is impossible!"

“......”

Jack Welch didn't speak, but he wasn't in a hurry, he just looked at his boss and waited for Chen Geng to give him an explanation - today, he came to discuss cooperation with Mr. Fernández Chen as the chairman and CEO of AMC, instead of reporting to the major shareholders of the company he worked for as the chairman and CEO of AMC, which is a big difference.

Looking at Jack Welch, Chen Geng said slowly, "Are you deliberately ignoring the intellectual resources I have invested?"

"In terms of R&D and engineering personnel, AMC can also provide ......"

"To develop a series of modular engines from 2.0 to 5.6, from the decision to establish the project, the prediction to the completion of the final engine calibration work, any automobile manufacturing company needs at least 6 years and more than 600 million US dollars even if it does not include inflation," Chen Gengyi waved his hand, interrupting Jack Welch's words: "But in my case, the same product, I only need 2 years and 200 million US dollars, how can I calculate the 400 million US dollars I saved?" What about the four years saved?"

"This ...... It can't be ......"

It's just that after all, Jack Welch's words are extremely unconfident, he doesn't believe that his boss can use 2 years and 200 million US dollars to do what others can do in at least 6 years and invest at least 600 million US dollars, which is not in line with the law of development of things at all, but these words come from his own boss, and Jack Welch is a little unbelievable: Chen Geng has done too many things that do not conform to everyone's perception in the past.

"But what if I can do it?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically: "If I can do it, how can I calculate the value of this part of my payment? Well, these can be written into our cooperation agreement." ”

“......”

Jack Welch stopped talking, because after Chen Geng promised to write this article into the cooperation agreement, he had to carefully consider this: if the boss really used 2 years and 200 million US dollars to do what other companies may not be able to do in 6 years or 600 million US dollars, what price should AMC pay? Or how much does AMC need to pay in order to get the part of the benefits it wants?

It's hard to say, but if it's simple, it's actually simple......

Pushing 625, Jack Welch simply threw the problem to Chen Geng (this is also a decision made by the other shareholders of AMC when Chen Geng avoided participating in the discussion), he pursed his lips and said to Chen Geng: "boss, you are the controlling major shareholder of AMC, AMC is also yours, and you have to take more than half of the money that AMC has earned, so ...... Or do you say it yourself, how much do you think AMC will cost you, and what will you get?"

This is a scoundrel: anyway, the company is yours, the company pays more and earns less, which means that you earn less, how to choose, you can do it yourself.

But can this stump Chen Geng?

He smiled: "In this case, I will take a step back: the R&D funds are shared equally between the two sides, and AMC can obtain the patent authorization of this series of engines for free, but the patent belongs to me." ”

Jack Welch thought carefully for a moment before he said cautiously: "In principle, it's not impossible, but are you sure that the engines of this series can really achieve the performance you said before?"

It is reasonable to say that the basic performance of this engine, such as power, torque, fuel consumption, thermal efficiency zone distribution, power and torque curve setting...... And so on, all of which should be planned at the beginning of the research and development of this project, because this is the ultimate goal of the project you want to do, and the final goal can be allowed to have a certain difference from the original goal, but it must be within a reasonable deviation range, such as fuel consumption, you can't say at the beginning that I expect the fuel consumption of this engine to be 200 g/kW/h, and the fuel consumption of the final engine is 230 g/kW/h, which is too exaggerated.

In Jack Welch's view, Mr. Fernandez, as his boss, does not need to ask too carefully about some specific data, but he still has to ask clearly about some things that are determined before the project starts.

"Of course, um, then, if the other shareholders of AMC are sure to be interested in participating in this project, when you go back, you bring back the projected performance planning that I did for this series of engines. ”

"You mean you're done? Can I take a look at it now?" Jack Welch immediately became excited.

Although I know that the performance plan given by my boss is just a "grand blueprint" with relatively large flexibility, it is of reference significance after all, isn't it?

"Of course," Chen Geng finished speaking, got up and took out a document from the filing cabinet behind him and handed it to Jack Welch: "It's here." ”

This is really a very brief planning diagram, so brief that there is no description of this project at all in front, only a simple table, which is the corresponding target performance parameters of this series of engines, such as the 2.0 displacement engine at the front, after seeing the boss marked "V6 or L4?" The number of engine cylinders and structural form of the engine have not yet been determined, the parameters given are: maximum power 93 kW / 6400 rpm, maximum torque 168 Nm / 4000rpm。

This is against the sky!

Chrysler's 2.2-liter inline four-cylinder engine has a displacement of 0.2 liters larger than this engine, but the maximum power is only 87 kilowatts, and the maximum torque is only 156 Nm - but compared to the 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder gasoline engine used in AMC's own small car, the performance of Chrysler's engine is actually good, AMC's own engine has a maximum power of only 78 kilowatts, and the maximum torque is only 144 Nm· M, if Chrysler's 2.2-liter engine is still compared with this engine, then the 2.0-liter engine that AMC now uses is simply miserable.

But when it comes to fuel consumption, whether it is Chrysler's 2.2 engine or AMC's own 2.0 engine, it is miserable: the target fuel consumption given by this engine is 212~218 g/kW/h, what is Chrysler's 2.2? 236 g/kW/h, AMC's is even worse, up to 245 g/kW/h, typical low power and high fuel consumption.

Because of this, Jack Welch couldn't believe this data: "Boss, such high power, such low fuel consumption...... Is this possible?"

Also!

No wonder Jack Welch raised such a question, after all, in Lao Mei's heart, fuel consumption and performance are directly equated, if you want high performance, you have to pay high fuel consumption, so those displacement of 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock large displacement V8 engines have more than 30 or 40 fuel consumption is really nothing, and now, according to the fuel consumption data given by the boss, under the same power output, the fuel consumption of this engine has been reduced too much.

"Think you can't believe it?" Chen Geng smiled and asked.

"Yes. Jack Welch didn't deny it.

"What do you think of that engine on the Honda Civic?"

“......”

Jack Welchne's, unable to answer, Honda's civic sold in the North American market is simply a subversion of the logic of the American car market, although the basic data such as power and body size are not outstanding, but there is a feature that no one can ignore, that is, low fuel consumption!

The fuel consumption of that engine is so low that in order to save money, many American families with a large-displacement American car at home will buy a Honda Civic for daily commuting and transportation...... Anyway, with the congestion of the city, not to mention that your car is equipped with a large V8 with a displacement of more than 6 o'clock, even if you install a fighter jet engine in your car, as long as you are still a car, you have to obediently block me on the road.

"What Dongying people can do, I can also do," looking at Jack Welch, Chen Geng said slowly: "And it must be done!" Jack, haven't you noticed, under the influence of this energy crisis, more and more Americans are beginning to choose fuel-efficient small-displacement models, and there are fewer and fewer Americans who choose cars with large-displacement engines of more than 5 liters, but the small cars from Dongying are selling more and more, and the best Chrysler family sells is not the one they are equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine, we must make a fuss about low fuel consumption, which is the choice of the times. ”

This is very easy to understand, even if the income of Americans is high, the price of oil is cheap, but gasoline also has to spend money to buy, every month is the same driving 3000 kilometers, choose a low fuel consumption Dongying car, only need to burn 300 liters of gasoline every month, choose the American muscle car, you need to burn at least 700 liters of gasoline, what is the 400 liters of gasoline money saved?

The American people didn't have a choice, but when they had a choice, why should I contribute to the damn oil giants?

“......”

After a long time, Jack Welch exhaled: "Sir, you are right, in the future, fuel-efficient small displacement models will inevitably become the hottest choice in the market." ”

Chen Geng corrected: "There is no need to wait for the future, now, the American people have already made a choice. ”
