Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Beginning of the Core
When Chung Hwa Group announced another good result in its annual report, people were amazed and immediately attracted by another major news.
The curse of the rich list was fulfilled again before the Lunar New Year in 2008, when Huang Pengrun, the CEO of Pengrun Group, who once ranked only behind Han Hao, was taken away from the company by the relevant departments on suspicion of economic crimes, shocking the entire Chinese economic circle. This cross-river dragon, who was born in South China and made his fortune in North China, fell on China's economic runway when he was about to be forty years old, and he no longer had the opportunity to compete with the outstanding figures at the top of the pyramid of his peers.
The wind started at the end of Qingping, and the issue of the source of funds related to Pengrun Group has been repeatedly mentioned, but Huang Pengrun claimed that he was investigated all the way and made a fortune all the way, and he had a close relationship with the powerful people in the capital with his outstanding means. It's a pity that this time the horse finally stumbled and failed to usher in the help of nobles, and the end of a generation of heroes has become a hot topic of conversation among people across the country after dinner.
Whether it is the rich list or the pig killing list, this dazzling list not only makes many people unscrupulous to dig out their minds to be proud of being on the list, but also makes others retreat when they hear it. The two extremes of being on the list and not being on the list are a fantasy drama staged in the magical land of China.
As for Han Hao, his influence is here, whether he wants it or not, he will be a frequent visitor to the list.
"In the end, do Chinese entrepreneurs carry original sin, and are there any modern entrepreneurs in the true sense?"
The rich people who were packaged as business idols by the media had accidents one after another, and the strong contrast made ordinary people question the truth of the list.
"As long as Han's richest man doesn't have an accident, then I still believe in the authority of the rich list. ”
At this time, Han Hao, the leader of the list of veterans of the Three Dynasties, has become the anchor of the sea in the hearts of many people. Since he was a child, he has heard the entrepreneurial story of the richest man in South Korea, and everyone cares about his every move, as long as he is still on the list, it means that there are still outstanding entrepreneurs in China.
In the past, Chen Lingxi would still worry about her husband's safety, and this worry came from political considerations, but after nearly two years of hearing and seeing, she understood that her worries were superfluous, because Han Hao and even Zhonghua Group have been walking under the sun.
"It seems that we have settled in Jiangzhou, and we have another big advantage invisibly, that is, we are far away from the rights and wrongs of those powerful people. If you get too close to power, it's easy to think you have it, and end up finding yourself a victim of a power struggle. ”
Chen Lingxi looked at the news on TV that was reporting the news of Pengrun Group's involvement in the case, and said to her husband who was eating breakfast at the same table.
"It's impossible to stay out of politics completely, but you can keep a strong enough distance from power. Anyway, for me, the biggest politics is to do a good job of the China Group and win glory for the country in the business field. ”
Han Hao ate the steamed bun in his hand in one bite, wiped his mouth with a tissue and replied.
He was not surprised by the accident of Pengrun Group, he knew that Huang Pengrun was bold and bold, and he would eventually fall into the pit if he walked too much at night. The closer you get to a center of power like the capital, the more characters like Huang Pengrun have, who are swimming around like sharks smelling blood, looking for the right prey to attack. Sooner or later, however, the hunter will become prey and be eaten by other hunters who are more ferocious. Once Huang Pengrun's identity changes, the foundation he has laid will naturally attract competition from many parties.
The more things he experienced, the more Han Hao understood the meaning of the words written on the Zhengda Guangming plaque, it is far more difficult to engage in yang conspiracy than conspiracy, and the temptation test of human nature is more complicated, but the effect can be one against ten.
"I don't come back for dinner in the evening because there is a major project to test today. If it succeeds, I'll have to be a treat to reward the staff. ”
Before Han Hao went out, he broke the news that Zhonghua Group would have a big operation.
To be able to make him so deliberate and present in person is, of course, a big and strategic project.
During working hours, many new faces appeared in the test site of Zhonghua Group, and their energetic faces bloomed with confidence, and it can be seen from the temporary access control card on their chests that this is a group of staff members of friendly companies.
Two Chunghwa Qins sit side by side at the edge of the site, and Chunghwa engineers are replacing some parts into the cars, seemingly in preparation for new tests.
In the open space next to the runway, a small workstation suddenly appeared, and the large and small screens were combined to resemble a small control room.
"The front wheel sensor signal is transmitting normally—"
The engineer holding the walkie-talkie looked at the computer screen and gave feedback to his busy colleague in the passenger seat of the vehicle.
"The steering wheel sensor signal is normal—"
......
Just from the gathering of more than 100 engineers on the site, you can know that the project tested today belongs to a big battle.
When Han Hao, the CEO of Zhonghua Group, appeared, the atmosphere of the entire test site reached its peak, and everyone knew that today's test may leave a heavy mark in the history of China's automobile development.
It stands to reason that Han Hao can also be regarded as a figure who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he rarely attends the road tests of new models. But today, for the first time, he appeared on the sidelines, indicating that there are unknown secrets on the two common Chinese "Qin" in front of him.
It is clear that today the Chinese "Qin" is just an accessory, and the protagonist is a certain part installed on it.
Han Hao first greeted the staff of the friendly businessmen and thanked them for their hard work in recent days to complete this major project before the Chinese New Year.
Dozens of red buckets have been placed on the track, accompanied by the test drivers to fasten their seat belts, indicating that the main event of the day will soon begin.
"Boom-"
The professional test driver stepped on the accelerator vigorously and used the sound wave to tell everyone present that the show was about to begin!
In full view of everyone, the two "Qin" started in turn, and began to gallop on the runway at an interval of 200 meters between the front and back.
After most of the half-lap was completed, "Qin" began to approach the red pile barrel area of the matrix interval and began the real testing process.
"Squeak—"
With a long braking sound, the "Qin" plummeted from 100 km/h to 60 km/h, the test driver swung the steering wheel, and the car began to drive around the red drum in a serpentine shape.
"Boom-boom-"
In the high-speed cornering state, the tail lights of the "Qin" are constantly flashing, indicating that the vehicle's ESP system has begun to intervene.
The data on the computer screen of the workstation not far away is constantly refreshed in real time, recording the whole process word for word.
The refresh rate of 25 times per second shows that the ESP system is constantly monitoring the driving intention of the test driver and the actual road conditions, so as to control the wheels, engine and automatic transmission through a microprocessor to keep the vehicle stable.
In less than a minute of circumference, the "Qin" made a continuous gurgling sound, indicating that the ESP system was trying to keep the vehicle moving forward normally in the limit state.
The two "Qin" passed the last pile barrel at high speed, did not rush out of the runway under the extreme operation of the test driver, and slowly stopped at the finish line, indicating the end of the test.
Whether it was successful or not, everyone on the scene turned their eyes to the workstation and waited for the announcement of the final results.
I saw that the engineer who was monitoring in front of the computer screen gave a thumbs up to the boss Han Hao, and announced the news as soon as possible with actual actions.
The audience immediately cheered, and today's test lived up to expectations and was a success.
If you don't know the inside story, you will feel strange when you see this scene, isn't it just that the ESP system has been successfully verified, what's the fuss?
Three years ago, Chunghwa Group conquered ESP technology, which attracted Bosch to cut prices on a large scale in order to cut off the road of independent production.
So far, the two-year protection period negotiated at that time has passed, and although the Chunghwa Group is still using Bosch ESP products, it has tried to produce its own new ESP products on a small scale.
Even if it is an independent ESP product, it has long been commercialized in the market, and it is not worth such a stir.
What is it that excites everyone in the room?
Today's protagonist, soon under the operation of an engineer, was carefully removed from the body of "Qin", which appeared to be a small electronic control assembly.
But that's not what it really is, and it wasn't until engineers dismantled the multi-layered shell to reveal the core of the circuit inside, that two fingernail-sized chips were revealed.
The ESP system requires two chips to run the same control software at the same time to process the signal data, and only after comparing and verifying the consistency with each other will the final control adjustment command be issued to the vehicle.
The company logo with the word "H" printed on the chip indicates that it is a product designed and manufactured by HiSilicon Semiconductor.
Forty months after Han Hao and Huawei jointly established HiSilicon Semiconductor, the company launched its first chip product, internally codenamed H1V2, specifically designed for automotive applications.
Compared with communication chips, automotive chips are relatively less technically difficult, so HiSilicon took the lead in designing and producing them for use in Zhonghua Group's own ESP system.
Before today's road test, in fact, the product equipped with this chip has undergone many durability tests on the bench and achieved very good results.
In the past, Zhonghua Group produced its own ESP system, mainly for hardware integration and software development, and accumulated a lot of data on the software, but the hardware such as chips and sensors had to purchase foreign products.
The mid-to-high-end market of on-board chips is completely controlled by foreign manufacturers, and the global market size is tens of billions of yuan. In the future, with the popularization of automotive multimedia technology and new energy technology, the cost of chips on each car body will be at least 2,000 yuan, and this market will usher in explosive growth.
For example, in the pure electric new energy car launched by Zhonghua Group, the battery cost ranks first, and the second place is a variety of chip electronic control systems, which is enough to prove the important position of chips in future cars.
The success of HiSilicon's H1V2 indicates that China's automotive industry has once again ushered in a historical turning point, and it may realize localization in the high-end chip field in the future.
This also gave Han Hao great confidence to start the next stage of big investment.
