Chapter 84: Subversion, Successive Subversion: Down
You said that the V12 engine that you developed in cooperation with Honda was designed by Chen Geng?
Ding Haijun's heart was not shocked, not shocked, but disbelieving and ...... There was a strong suspicion: How old was Chen Gengcai? How could he have designed such a complex engine.
In Ding Haijun's understanding, the engine is a highly complex, highly sophisticated machine, and the difficulty of designing such a machine is almost to break through the sky.
Those who are qualified to independently and complex the chief engineer of an engine research and development project, at least 40 or even 50 years old, not only must have rich experience, but also must have a team of less than dozens of people, more than hundreds of people behind the support, Chen Geng is a young man in his 20s, even if he starts to learn these things from his mother's womb, it is impossible to develop an engine alone, let alone the most complex structure of the engine, the most technical V-12 cylinder engine.
Well, even if you can actually develop a V12 engine, what the hell is it that you can attract Honda to work with you?
Even with it, Ding Haijun even began to doubt Rosemary's identity: Are you really the former deputy general manager of a bank?
As the former deputy general manager of a bank with total assets of nearly $2 billion, Ding Haijun's subtle change could not be concealed from Rosemary's eyes at all, but she did not forcibly explain Ding Haijun's suspicions, but said: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”
At all times, facts speak louder than words.
Ding Haijun, who came in with a critical gaze, was surprised to find that after seeing himself and others come in, the Americans and Dongying people who were busy in this specially separated room (if those Asians with typical Dongying people were really Dongying people) just looked up at himself and the others, but they didn't even come up to say hello, everyone was busy with their own business, and directly regarded themselves and others as nothing.
Ding Haijun, who had never encountered such a situation in China, was surprised: When he saw that the general manager of his company was coming, no one came up to greet him? What is the situation?
But a scene that surprised Ding Haijun even more appeared, in the face of these employees' "not taking themselves seriously", Rosemary did not look angry at all, as if she had long been accustomed to this situation, and said to him while accompanying Ding Haijun to go inside: "Do you see that engine? This is the V12 engine that our company cooperated with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. to develop together, that is Mr. Murai, the project leader of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. CBX motorcycle engine, that is us." Mr. Anderson, the head of the Devil's Tuning Division, has worked for Ford Motors, General Motors, and Chrysler Motors, and was a senior engineer at Chrysler Motors before coming to our company. ”
Ding Haijun just nodded, but he was already suspicious, and put a question mark on Rosemary's words.
Rosemary didn't think much of it, and continued, "I don't know much about the technical stuff, so you can ask Mr. Anderson any questions you have next...... Mr. Anderson, Mr. Anderson, please come here, this is Mr. Ding, who is here today. ”
Anderson, who was busy with his work, walked over with a reluctant face, but fortunately, he finally got Chen Geng's orders, although he was reluctant, he didn't say anything, just nodded to Ding Haijun: "What do you want to know?"
It's so direct, without a kind word.
After saying this, Anderson probably also felt that his attitude was not suitable, the other party was the boss's VIP after all, and after thinking about it, this guy added: "If you have any questions, you can ask me." ”
Ding Haijun, who had never visited factories in developed countries in Europe and the United States, was completely confused: What is the situation?
"Don't mind, it's their habit, or rather tradition. Chen Geng's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Ding Haijun hurriedly turned around, it was really Chen Geng who was here, and there was a circle of members of the "family visit group" standing behind him.
Seeing Comrade Lao Ding's inquiring gaze, Chen Geng apologized to Comrade Lao Ding and other members of the "family visiting group": "I don't know what the situation is on the mainland, but looking at your appearance, it seems that the atmosphere of the mainland's R&D units is not the same as that of the R&D units in the United States."
After speaking, meeting Rosemary's gaze, Chen Geng nodded lightly.
"Uh...... ......Comrade Lao Ding opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he didn't know what to say or what to say.
He had long been accustomed to this approach and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it, but now it seems that the situation on the side of Europe and the United States, at least the United States, is completely different from the situation at home?
"Depending on your reactions, it's really different. Without waiting for Comrade Lao Ding to speak, Chen Geng nodded and said-what is the situation of domestic scientific research units and R&D departments in enterprises, can he not know?
"Mr. Chen Geng," someone in the family visiting group finally couldn't help it: "They didn't come up to say hello to you, don't you think they don't respect you enough?"
"Respect?"
Chen Geng immediately smiled, he pointed to the engineers present, and said: "What am I inviting them to do? Is it to create benefits for me, you said, from my point of view, after seeing me appear, do they put down their work and come to greet me more happily, or continue the work in their hands to make me happier? Anyway, in my opinion, they are sorry for the salary I paid them when they left the work in their hands." ”
"This ......"
"This ......"
The members of the "family visiting group", who have long been accustomed to the traditional domestic family, were dumbfounded: can this question be understood in this way?
They felt that it was disrespectful to the boss to come and the employees make up for it and say hello respectfully, but they didn't expect that people looked at this problem from the opposite angle. But is Chen Geng's words reasonable? It is indeed reasonable, but this truth is completely different from the education he has received over the years, and the world outlook, outlook on life, and values he has formed.
However, some people feel in their hearts that capitalists are really black-hearted thieves, and they do everything to make the exploited workers create more value for themselves.
However, some people also feel that these advantages of capitalism are still worth learning, and even think that Chen Geng's truth is very correct: scientific researchers should do scientific research well, and the best scientific research is to build socialism, which is much stronger than those vain things......
Chen Geng also did not mean to argue with everyone on this issue: "Of course, no matter which way of expressing respect, existence is reasonable...... Mr. Ding, do you say?"
Why did it come back to me inexplicably? Ding Haijun, who was very uncomfortable with Chen Geng's divine transfer, couldn't say no, so he had to nod his head with a hum: "Well, it makes sense." ”
"Mr. Chen, is this really a V12 engine?" someone in the family group asked, "Why do I think this V12 engine is so much smaller than the V8 we just saw?"
Now it's okay, this smart guy took the initiative to divert the topic, everyone is finally not so awkward, not only the "family visiting group" breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Geng also breathed a sigh of relief, explained: "Because of the small displacement of this engine, although this engine is a V12 structure, but the displacement is only 2.3 liters, and the 'big-block' 496 engine is a V8 structure, but the displacement is 9.2 liters, so it's ......."
"Why?" the person who spoke was obviously a bit technically savvy, and immediately asked: "Since the displacement of this V12 engine is only 2.3 liters, it is easy for an inline four-cylinder or in-line six-cylinder engine to achieve this displacement, why do you have to make it a V12 structure?
That's right!
The same question angered the members of the "family visiting group", and even Ding Haijun was no exception: Since the displacement of this engine is only 2.3 liters, why do you have to make it a V12?
"Because it's a racing engine," says Chen, "and through our joint efforts with Honda Motor Co., Ltd.'s engineers, the engine has a maximum continuous operating speed of 9,600 rpm......
The members of the "......" and "family visiting group" were at a loss, they were not industrial majors, and they did not understand what this speed meant.
Chen Geng sighed secretly, and then said: " I don't know what the current technical strength of the domestic engine industry is, but I have seen it from a book before, it seems that the maximum speed of the V8 engine carried by the Hongqi sedan is only more than 3000 rpm, and the maximum speed of the engine mounted on the SHSH760 sedan is only more than 4000 rpm, at 9500 rpm, the maximum output of this engine can already exceed 245 horsepower, and our goal is to make the maximum output of this engine reach and exceed 300 horsepower. ”
The person who had just taken the initiative to divert the topic and knew a little bit about technology changed his face all of a sudden.
"What's wrong?" saw the change in this person's face, and the colleague next to him asked in a low voice.
"One of their 2.3-liter engines can achieve an output of 300 horsepower," the one who spoke took a deep breath and asked his colleague with a pale face: "Our SH sedan is equipped with a 2.2-liter engine, do you know what the output of this engine is?"
"How much?"
"90 horsepower. ”
"What?!" The questioner was stunned for a moment: there was only a difference of 0.1 liters in displacement, but the maximum output of someone's engine was more than three times that of ours?!
