Chapter 152: Is the Flower Worth It?

Lee Iacoca's brow furrowed.

Chen Geng's proposal to include the 1.8 and 2.0 engines they developed into the installed ranks of the "family" model did not surprise Lee Iacocca, otherwise Rosemary had previously asked himself to do this, which has fully demonstrated Fernandez's intention to mass-produce and bring these two engines to the market.

Previously, at Chrysler's previous internal discussions, Chrysler had already thought of this possibility and made a targeted plan: if it could use this way to persuade Fernandez to give up its own production of these two engines, and include these two engines in the "family" power system solution, it can also be considered, although there is no displacement tax in the United States, but the engines of 1.8 and 2.0 are indeed better than those of 2.2, The 3.6 displacement engine is a bit cheaper, and the use of these two engines helps to lower the entry barrier and price of the "Family" series of models, which is also in the interest of Chrysler Motors.

However, only three years of OEM?

This is certainly not what Lee Iacocca wants.

As the "father of the Mustang", Lee Iacocca knew how good Fernandez's two engines were: even the 1.8-liter engine surpassed the 2.2-liter 488 that Chrysler was going to install on the "family" in terms of power, torque, smoothness and fuel economy. Chrysler wants to tie the two engines of Fernandez to Chrysler, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, it may not be an option to consider if there is a suitable opportunity to be included in Chrysler's command or even forcibly seized.

But now......

"Three years is too short," Lee Iacocca thinks for a moment, "and if we were to contract these two engines, Chrysler would need to add some new equipment, custom fixtures and gauges, which would be a lot of money...... Five years, how?"

"Five years?"

"That's right, five years," Lee Iacocca said, "I think five years is a good deadline." ”

Chen Geng smiled, and his tone was extremely firm: "No, it's just three years!"

————————————

"This is the United States?" Looking at the bustling streets and high-rise buildings, Chen Xiaoshan was in a trance: "It turns out that the United States is so developed?"

The prosperity in front of him was beyond his imagination.

Chen Xiaoshan can still speak, and the two who came with him at the same time were simply shocked and speechless, compared with the prosperous United States, the current China is simply sad.

In their eyes, Yugoslavia went to Yugoslavia a few days ago to be prosperous enough, and it really deserves to be a socialist industrial power, but the United States in front of them is just an ordinary reception, and it is not known how many times more magnificent than Belgrade...... It is no wonder that the United States has been able to confront the Soviet Union for decades and still has the upper hand.

The reaction of Chen Xiaoshan, Sun Shoupeng and others did not surprise Chen Geng, but the next moment, Sun Shoupeng's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Chen Geng, he turned his head to look at Chen Geng, his expression was a little tragic, as if he was looking for some kind of confidence: "Mr. Chen, sooner or later, we can reach this level in Huaxia, right?"

Chen Geng was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that in the face of such a big impact, Sun Shoupeng actually had the New Year to catch up, saying that it was with the confidence of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, or saying anything, but under this impact, Sun Shoupeng still had the fighting spirit and did not raise his hand to surrender, which has made Chen Geng's heart full of respect: "Of course, sooner or later, one day we can catch up, and I believe that this will not be too far away, we can all see it......"

"Boss, do you really think Huaxia can catch up with Mi Guo?" Sun Xiaoshan said in surprise.

Although the other two deputy directors of the dismantling plant who came with Chen Xiaoshan did not speak, they had expressions on their faces, "Are you kidding me?!The gap between us and the Americans is so big, how can we catch up with them?" or "I guess there will be a day, but I'm afraid I won't see it" -- they took Chen Geng's words as Chen Geng's comforting gesture.

"In fact, our generation should feel honored," Chen Geng's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely affirmative and firm: "Because the current China is at the most important historical turning point, and we are the pioneers and witnesses of this era." ”

Chen Xiaoshan, Sun Shoupeng, and Cheng Xingming, the chief engineer of the Jialing Factory, secretly clenched their fists: Even our overseas travelers in China are so confident in the country, why don't we work hard?

The car sped all the way, and soon came to Chen Geng's company, accustomed to the large factories that often cover an area of thousands of acres in China, everyone was not very surprised by the factory of Fernandez, but the lively scene inside was a little curious, and when Chen Geng told them that more than two-thirds of these people were people who came to buy cars, the group was shocked.

Chen Xiaoshan stumbled and asked, "Boss, how many cars can our company sell in a year?"

Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "A year...... Our company has only been established for a year, which is of little significance, but last month, our company, including our partners, sold more than 2,500 cars, and in 1979, I estimate that it is not a big problem to sell 30,000 vehicles. ”

Chen Xiaoshan exclaimed: "Thirty thousand?!"

Selling 30,000 cars a year, how much money does this have to make?!

Although the sale of a second-hand car, the price is much lower than that of a new car, according to the boss, sometimes a car is only sold for one or two thousand dollars, excluding the commission to personnel, the company's operating costs, the actual profit of a car priced at two thousand dollars may be less than 100 dollars, but even so, there must be a net profit of tens of millions of dollars a year.

Tens of millions of dollars a year, it's really scary to death!

Chen Geng doesn't care: "No matter how many cars I sell, I'm just a second-hand car dealer, and I actually pay more attention to technology and research and development than sales...... Director Sun and Chief Engineer Cheng, this is the prototype of the engine we are going to transfer technology to the Jialing plant: Honda CBX1000 motorcycle. ”

This is the Honda CBX1000?

Looking at the big red motorcycle in front of him, Sun Shoupeng's first feeling was: Big!

It's huge!

Compared with those motorcycles that can be seen in China, such as the CJ15 of light riding, such as the happiness 250, and the two-wheeled Yangtze River 750, the size and momentum of the Honda in front of CBX1000 are much larger than the motorcycles that can be produced in China now, especially the magnificent in-line six-cylinder gasoline engine that is almost impossible to see on the motorcycle, so that Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming, who understand technology, are dizzy: really advanced.

As old men in the machinery industry, Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming know very well what such a six-cylinder motorcycle engine means: this is synonymous with advancement.

Chen Geng smiled: "Do you want to try?"

Sun Shoupeng was a little moved, but after hesitating, he still waved his hand: "Forget it, this car is too big, I'm worried that I can't control it." ”

Chen Geng nodded, too, the most powerful motorcycle in China is the police version of the Yangtze River 750, which can reach a maximum of 32 horsepower, but the maximum power of the CBX1000 in front of him has reached 95 horsepower, which is almost three times that of the police version of the Yangtze River 750, and the power of the @ Hai brand car is about the same, imagine how strong it will be to let an engine that can push a car to push such a light body, how strong the feeling of pushing the back and tearing will be?

It's just that although he refused Chen Geng's kindness, Sun Shoupeng's eyes still couldn't help showing envy: When will our Jialing factory also be able to produce such advanced motorcycles.

Sun Shoupeng was embarrassed, and Chen Geng was not reluctant.

Taking Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming, the chief engineer of the Jialing factory, to continue to walk forward, came to the technical laboratory inside, pointed to the two engines placed on the display stand, Chen Geng said to Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming: "Director Sun, Chief Engineer Cheng, this is the two engines of single-cylinder 175cc and 350cc developed by us based on the CBX1000 engine. ”

"These are the two engines you are going to transfer to us?" Looking at the two engines in front of him that were wiped spotlessly clean, and the surface of the engines was treated extremely beautifully, Sun Shoupeng's eyes suddenly lit up: these two engines are really beautiful, compared with their engines when I went to Yugoslavia some time ago to investigate, it is simply the gap between East Shi and West Shih!

And the chief engineer Cheng Xingming simply lay down in front of the two engines in front of him, and his eyes were almost attached to this engine.

"Mr. Chen," Cheng Xingming raised his head abruptly and asked excitedly and eagerly, "We already know the data of these two engines, do you have any motorcycles with these two engines installed?"

"You're going to give it a try?"

"Yes," Cheng Xingming nodded heavily: "I want to try how this engine is." ”

"Old Cheng ......"

Sun Shoupeng's face was a little embarrassed, he felt that Lao Cheng's request was a bit abrupt, but then again, why didn't he want to try the depth of these two engines in person?

Chen Geng nodded happily: "Of course there is no problem, since we are cooperating, we must let you know whether your money is worth it." ”

PS: Brothers, wait three minutes before refreshing.

"Mr. Chen," Cheng Xingming raised his head abruptly and asked excitedly and eagerly, "We already know the data of these two engines, do you have any motorcycles with these two engines installed?"

"You're going to give it a try?"

"Yes," Cheng Xingming nodded heavily: "I want to try how this engine is." ”

"Old Cheng ......"

Sun Shoupeng's face was a little embarrassed, he felt that Lao Cheng's request was a bit abrupt, but then again, why didn't he want to try the depth of these two engines in person?
