"Speaking of this laboratory...... Professor Song Jingying looked at Chen Geng expectantly: "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought of cooperating with our Huaqing to build this laboratory into a real 'automotive technology laboratory'?"

This is the real purpose of Huaqing, and it is the same thing as Chen Geng to make some money by setting up a "school-run enterprise", but the real purpose is that the Department of Thermal Engineering hopes to cooperate with Chen Geng to turn this titular automotive technology laboratory into a real automotive laboratory. It's just that Chen Geng can agree?

To be honest, Song Jingying was more apprehensive, and he didn't even have half a point of certainty in his heart: with the technical strength of Fernandez Company, what did he think of Huaqing's thermal engineering department?

"Work with me?" Chen Geng's mouth was open enough to fit a goose egg, the kind that was intact.

"Yes, yes," Seeing that Chen Geng did not refuse on the spot, Professor Song Jingying was instantly excited: It is a good thing not to refuse! He said excitedly: "The teachers of our department have carefully analyzed and judged your company's products: the modified 'big-block' 496 engine, the strong air-cooled V12 engine, the X-BO racing car and the 'beast' full-size multi-purpose car...... Oh, and that five-speed sequential racing gearbox that your company designed...... Your company has very strong strength in all aspects of car styling, power system, transmission system, suspension system, etc., otherwise Honda Motor, Ford Motor and General Motors would not be able to seek cooperation with you. ”

Chen Geng: "......"

Boss Chen is confused at the moment: This opening method is a little incomprehensible, what's the matter? Dude, I took out those things that I took out to participate in the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix and was going to be used to cheat money, which made Huaqing University's eyes glow golden and drooling? But......

That's right!

Chen Geng reacted to one thing in hindsight: he still underestimated his own energy, or rather, he underestimated the attraction of his own ability to China in this era.

Why?

Before explaining why, it is necessary to be clear: what was the overall technical level of the automobile industry of the republic at the end of the 70s?

To be fair and just, it is roughly equivalent to the level of the late thirties and early forties in Europe and the United States, and at most it is not more than the mid-forties. Maybe you have a big opinion on this, thinking that this is about the 80s, and the level of our country's automobile industry is still stuck in 40 years ago?

But this is the current situation of the automobile industry in the Republic, and several automotive products are now in production in the Republic: Dajiefang CA10 truck, 212 Jeep, Shang@hai SH760 car...... Which of these products is not the automobile technology of Europe and the United States in the 40s? To put it mildly, more than 20 years have passed since the introduction of these products in the 50s, and we have not upgraded these products once.

Of course, the high-level knows that our automobile technology is seriously backward, otherwise it would not have begun to vigorously introduce all kinds of automobile products and technologies after the reform and opening up, such as Cherokee, Sinotruk Steyr, and Poussin...... These products were vigorously promoted by the top management at the beginning of reform and opening up, and what does this mean? It shows that the top management has a clear understanding of the current situation of China's automobile industry.

As a scientific research and teaching unit of China's automobile products, the Department of Thermal Engineering of Huaqing University must have a vision, and they can easily judge the technical strength of Fernandez in the automotive industry through these exhibits, not to mention that after the X-BO won the championship of the self-made car group, Ford and GM are actively negotiating with Fernandez on the introduction of the "Beast" full-size SUV, and Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has made every effort to win the X-BO......

All of this has become the best footnote to the strength of Fernandez, and the Department of Thermal Engineering of Huaqing University is not greedy.

In other words, why did Huaqing University help Chen Geng so much? Why was Huaqing University's plan to "jointly build an automotive technology laboratory with Fernandez, which actually allows Fernandez to hold more than 50 percent of Huaxia's shares and has financial and personnel rights," been approved by Huaxia's top management in such a short period of time?

To put it bluntly, don't you just hope to be able to exchange this concession for Chen Geng's technology?

"It's my honor to cooperate with Huaqing University," Chen Geng said with a frown, "but Fernandez is not a rigorous automobile R&D and manufacturing company, this ......"

"No, no, no, Mr. Chen, you misunderstood," clarifying Chen Geng's attitude, Professor Song Jingying was completely excited: "As far as I know, there are many engineers in your company who have worked in Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, AMC and other companies for many years?"

"Well, there are quite a few," Chen Geng nodded: "There are seventy or eighty people now." ”

Seventy or eighty engineers and designers from Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, and AMC? Professor Song Jingying was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What we mean is, can you have your engineers come to give lectures to our students on a regular basis?" However, our financial resources are limited, and we may not have sufficient funds......

"I probably understand what you mean," Chen Geng raised his hand to interrupt Professor Song Jingying's words, and said with a smile: "These are not problems, you don't need to talk about money, after the establishment of our laboratory, our company will have a large number of engineers come here every year to give them a chance to give lectures at the university, I'm afraid those guys can grab their heads, in the United States, this is the treatment of university professors, this opportunity is enough for them to blow the ...... for several years after returning to the United States."

I didn't expect Chen Geng to agree so happily!

Professor Song, who has countless experience in dealing with foreigners, thought that he could use three or five months to persuade Chen Geng, even if it was fast, but he didn't expect that the goal would be achieved in the first conversation, Professor Song was not to mention how excited he was, and said to Chen Geng gratefully: "Mr. Chen, thank you for your support of our education work......

"You're so polite, although I'm an American citizen, I've always considered myself an Chinese, and I'm proud to be able to do something for this country, this nation...... Professor Song, I have an idea, how about you listen to it?"

You say. Professor Song Jingying, who was excited, hurriedly said that before, he scoffed at many people saying that Chen Geng was "the most patriotic patriotic Chinese", but now, he began to agree with this sentence in his heart.

"That's right, since we plan to build an automotive technology laboratory, let's make this laboratory worthy of its name, you should know that in addition to setting up a large-scale recycling enterprise in China, we are also preparing to produce auto parts in China and export them to the United States, right?"

"Yes, I know. Professor Song Jingying nodded again and again.

He not only knows this, but also knows that for this project, the Automobile Bureau and the Agricultural Machinery Bureau under the First Machinery Department are about to hit the brains: the Automobile Bureau thinks that this is an auto parts, and this business should be attributed to the Automobile Bureau, and the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of course does not do it: what can you do with the production capacity of your Automobile Bureau? At the lesser level, it is to delay the country's foreign exchange earnings, and to the larger extent, it is to directly delay the country's reform and opening up, and your Automobile Bureau can afford this responsibility?

Chen Geng: "My idea is, can our laboratory unite Harbin Institute of Technology and Xi'an Jiaotong University, two universities with strong automotive technology, to play a role in assisting enterprises to solve problems and digest and absorb in this process? ”

Professor Song Jingying's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice trembled a little because of excitement: "You mean...... Are we universities directly involved in this project?"

He couldn't believe that such a good thing could fall on Hua Qing's head!

To tell the truth, although Huaqing University is the top institution of higher learning in China, but when it comes to the teaching and research level of thermal energy and vehicles, there is still a big gap between Harbin Institute of Technology and Xi'an Jiaotong University.

"What else can I do?" Chen Geng sighed and said helplessly: "With my understanding of the current situation of the domestic machining industry, I am afraid that even if I hand over to domestic enterprises for processing are some relatively simple accessories, I am afraid that the requirements of accuracy, tolerance and process will also make domestic enterprises have a headache. ”

Professor Song Jingying empathized with Chen Geng's words: "Yes, the accuracy of processing equipment in these domestic enterprises is indeed a little worse......"

There are some things that he can't say in front of Chen Geng, an outsider, but it doesn't prevent him from sighing with emotion: the processing equipment of some factories is ...... What the hell is that?!

"This is the way of taking the combination of 'production, learning and research', of course, our school can not contribute in vain, since the effort has been made, we must have something to gain, I suggest that we go back to our laboratory and Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University to discuss it, to see how the profits should be distributed, but the early stage with Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University side of the negotiation, you will have to trouble Professor Song......

"No trouble, no trouble," Professor Song Jingying's smile was crooked, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, Harbin Institute of Technology and Xi'an Jiaotong University, you can rest assured to me, I guarantee that they will come to report to you in a week at most." ”

Although it is a bit embarrassing to ask for money, it does not match everyone's understanding for so many years, but now money is needed everywhere, money is needed to purchase teaching equipment, money is needed to solve the work for the families and children of faculty and staff, and money is needed everywhere, and money is needed everywhere, since money is needed so much, then ...... The teacher's Qinggao should be put aside for the time being.
