"Hey, why can't this planetary gear be installed? I didn't find any more of this thing when I dismantled it! Hurry up and play the video back for me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the laboratory of the FAW Gear Factory, a senior engineer gave such instructions.

With special funding from the treasury bond funds, the Gear Association organized eight state-owned transmission manufacturers to prepare to overcome the problem of automatic transmissions, for which they chose the mainstream AT transmission in the market as the research and development object.

Although it seems that the camp is huge, and the eight transmission factories together occupy nearly 90% of the market share of domestic independent transmissions, they are scattered and fighting separately on how to overcome technical difficulties.

The most advanced foreign AT transmissions have been imported from the treasury bond funds, ranging from 3AT to 6AT, but now the R&D process has only come to dismantling and analyzing the structure, and has not entered the actual work of R&D.

"Can we make such a delicate planetary gear with the equipment in our factory?"

A trainee engineer asked, picking up one of the gears.

"If you look at the big and coarse machine tools in our factory, the accuracy is 5 times worse, and we can't make it even if we give it to the drawings. Not to mention the material and craftsmanship used in this gear, which is a matter of secrecy. Maybe it will take us three or five years just to get through this gear!"

In front of rookies, senior engineers will always unconsciously give them lessons, so that they know how big a gap there is between actual work and classroom knowledge.

"Doesn't that mean that we can't afford to develop an AT transmission right now?"

The trainee engineer was quick to come to such a conclusion.

"Do you want to listen to the truth or lie to the truth? Of course, it is possible to report to the leader, otherwise where will the welfare of our unit come from? If the equipment is not up to standard and the parts cannot be made, it is not our fault!"

Engineers who are already old oilers instill so-called workplace experience in their new intern colleagues.

The allocation of special funds for national bonds this time has made the R&D department arrogant, and has taken this opportunity to improve the office conditions, and the employee benefits are much higher than in previous years.

"Is AT technology really that difficult? 6AT is the most cutting-edge technology, so we should be able to understand 3AT, right?"

Intern engineers do not believe in evil, 3AT is already an outdated technology in the world, and it has reached the level of foreign countries 30 years ago.

"Don't dream! Now there are MT transmissions in China, and no one dares to launch the AT project, which explains everything. I think I thought the same thing as you when I first started working. But at that time, there was only a 15-year difference between China and the country, and now it has become 30 years, and nothing has changed!"

was originally an aspiring young man, but now he has become a middle-aged uncle who is messing around, and it is really embarrassing to think of his past experiences.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, play the video back, and I'll see what went wrong. Now colleagues from other factories estimate that life is not easy, AT is really a mountain, we just can't cross it!"

What happened at the FAW Gear Plant was also seen among other members of the association, and it was only when I started to study the AT transmission that I found it more difficult than I thought. The materials can't be made, the technology is not up to standard, and the technology is not broken, especially the electronic control system of the AT transmission is beyond the cognition of the Chinese people, and overcoming the AT transmission has become a joke.

There are many people who are not aligned, and the state cannot draw out the R&D personnel of 8 factories to form a team, so they can only do their own research in their own factories first. The only thing that can be done is to hold a seminar every six months to allow all parties to exchange experiences with each other.

Progress is slow, and the country has another expert group to evaluate it, and if it is found that it has been working on useless work, it is likely that this strategic project will be stopped. After all, with nearly one billion yuan of national debt funds, we can't let it be squandered and thrown into the water.

On the contrary, in the former Huaxia Automobile R&D Center in Hushan, although it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, in the conference room of the CVT transmission R&D team, it was still brightly lit, and all the personnel gathered in front of the blackboard for a day's analysis and summary meeting.

"The pressure occlusion between the active taper disc and the planetary gear was incorrect, and although Ricardo engineers insisted there was no problem, one of our interns discovered the problem. Xiao Dong, you have done a great job, and you are very worthy of praise. I now announce that Dong Qihai has officially joined us, and he has shown with practical actions that he has the quality and ability to join our team. ”

In the applause of everyone, a big boy with glasses and a little shy touched his hair, embarrassed to thank everyone.

During the original half-year internship period, because I insisted on identifying a detailed data error, I spent three days calculating in the dormitory, found the root cause and reported it, but was announced by the team leader after only a little more than a month of internship.

Dong Qihai was happy, and planned to call his parents immediately to report the good news when he returned to the dormitory, ignoring that it was already early in the morning.

The treatment of regular employees is incomparable to the existence of intern employees, and now Zhonghua Group has invested a lot of money in research and development, and it can be said that the company's research and development personnel have one of the best salaries in China. Especially if you overcome the difficulties of the project, there is also a corresponding bonus distribution, which is a fine tradition inherited from the time when Huaxia built motorcycles, and it is well preserved to this day.

As long as you are on Hushan Street, you are a R&D engineer of Zhonghua Group, and even the small street vendors on the side of the road know that you are a rich family. Of course, the price you will be quoted a little higher than others, because these engineers rarely pay for it at a counterprice.

Team leader Xia Cheng is a typical high-achieving student, all the way from the key primary school, middle school to Huaqing University, and then studied in the United States to obtain a master's degree and joined General Motors, engaged in transmission research and development.

In the American-led project, Xia Cheng felt that his contribution was too small, like screws that could only be engaged in basic work. felt that Qu Caihe could not see the prospect, and it happened that Han Hao went to the United States to recruit people, so he gave up his green card and ran back to China to "start a business".

For him, it was entrepreneurship, organizing a team to make Chinese own automatic transmissions from scratch. At GM, he was involved in the development of automatic transmissions and had no contact with CVTs. However, this does not prevent him from switching to the CVT field, after all, automatic transmissions still have a certain degree of commonality in the basic field.

Zhao Quanfu discovered Xia Cheng and felt that he was a very creative and action-oriented young man, so he asked him to be in charge of the CVT R&D team. The whole team, except for the returnee elites, is a newcomer who has just graduated from university, like a blank sheet of paper for them to unleash their imagination.

The British company Ricardo provided the technical support, Bosch provided the key steel belts and electronic control units, and a group of young people from the China Automotive Research Institute carried out the CVT-led development.

"Our whole team, everything is based on data, and we engineers should have cold emotions and a spirit of doubt. CVT may seem complicated right now, but we've at least done the groundwork and started to dive into the kernel. We are not fighting alone, and we can use the excellent resources of the world at any time, so what the Japanese can create, I believe the Chinese will be able to achieve as well. ”

The canteen staff delivered supper on time, and while everyone was eating, Xia Cheng continued to cheer for the team.

Although Han Hao and Zhao Quanfu did not give the CVT team a deadline, Xia Cheng set his own goal of solving the problem in 3 years and starting commercial mass production and loading by the fourth year.

Back in China, Xia Cheng felt that he had endless energy, and every day there were new problems waiting for him to discover and solve, and he would have great satisfaction every time he and his colleagues tackled a small problem.

At the China Automotive Research Institute, he has a new and free platform to unleash his wisdom and sweat, and unconsciously his personal ability is also growing rapidly, which is unimaginable in the United States. A newcomer like him, who has worked for 4 years, can directly supervise a project team, and he is also an international high-tech subject, which is really a hero of the times.

Zhao Quanfu did not directly rush to the front line, but changed his role to become a manager, put the most suitable people in key positions, and built a research and development system in line with international standards. In addition, he also summarized 582 key technical difficulties for the mainstream technology of automobiles in the world, which are all areas that China Automotive Research Institute needs to catch up. If these 582 technologies can be mastered thoroughly, then Zhonghua Group will become an international mainstream automobile company. Internally, he referred to the sprawling project collectively as Project 582.

Seeing Zhao Quanfu standing at the door of the conference room, Xia Cheng walked up quickly after finishing his speech and asked the dean what was the matter.

"Tiancheng, don't forget our plane at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, you have to show up and be a good example when you return to the United States this time. The strength of our research institute is still insufficient, and we must dig more talents from the United States. ”

Knowing that Xia Cheng must still be working overtime, Zhao Quanfu came over to remind him. Young people like him are the most valuable asset of the Institute and even the China Group.

"Anyway, I don't have to sleep on a long-haul plane tomorrow, so I'm in a hurry to arrange all the recent work before I leave. ”

Xia Cheng patted his chest and laughed.

Stepping on the land of Detroit again and feeling the different cultural atmosphere from China, Han Hao felt that the aura of the United States in his eyes had faded a lot.

The United States is the most powerful country in the world, but it is also not a paradise, and there is an unknown side. As soon as he got off the plane, he learned from the driver that the security environment in Detroit is very bad now, and if he is fine, he should not go to the city at night to wander around. A visiting business delegation was robbed only two days ago, and some were seriously injured and are still being treated in hospitals.

"I'm used to the sweet air of China, but I'm not used to it when I return to the United States!"

Xia Cheng slept beautifully on the plane, stomped his feet and took a deep breath and said.

Still cooperating with the "North American Chinese Automotive Engineers Association", Han Hao specially organized an event called "China Night" to preach and invite Chinese engineers in Detroit and foreign technicians who are interested in developing in China.

"Now I work until 12 a.m. every day before I can get back to my dorm!"

Xia Cheng's first words on stage caused a burst of exclamation from the audience, which is a violation of labor law in the United States.

"Chairman Han Hao, you don't have to wipe your sweat and worry, this is all my voluntary overtime, and I don't mean to accuse you of exploiting employees in public! lest everyone think that Zhonghua Group is a black store, although I think he is, because it is completely dark every day after work!"

"Haha-"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd below, and Han Hao also stood up with a smile in greetings.

"Why do I take the initiative to work overtime every day?

Because I found that I found joy in life after returning to China, and it was very pleasant to be able to lead the team at a higher level and lead the discovery and problem solving. A platform that I can't provide in the U.S., I can have it when I return home, and it's something I can't achieve in my lifetime in Detroit.

Since in addition to a group of overseas elites who have returned from the United States, they are college students who have just graduated from school, so they are very American in the management of company culture, and they can directly enter the job without transition!

In terms of life, in less than a year, I found that I earned no less than the salary in the United States, and I was the first to enter a moderately prosperous society in China. The quality of life is even more comfortable than in the United States, where prices are low.

In China, I don't have to worry about being robbed at gunpoint when I drive out, I don't have to worry about my children going to school, and I don't have to worry about not being able to integrate into the local mainstream culture, because everyone is a descendant of Yan and Huang.

Now that other international auto giants have entered China, I believe that China will be the next automobile power, and sooner or later it will burst out of its own international enterprises!

If you're like me and want to make a change in your job or experience a new way of life, then going to China is the right choice for you.

Oh, and I almost forgot the most important thing!

Now our CVT team is in dire need of talents, who is interested in joining our team can give me a resume, and the interview will start on the spot. My boss gave me a dozen blank checks and signed them for my salary!"

Before stepping down, Xia Cheng didn't forget to tease Han Hao.

"Last year, I stood on the podium and said that within three years I would get a car license recognized by the Chinese government. Unexpectedly, it took less than one year, and now Zhonghua Group has officially obtained the car catalog, and has also reached an agreement with BMW to establish a joint venture in China. If nothing else, by the end of this year, you will be able to see a domestically produced BMW sedan with the 'China BMW' logo in China.

What does this mean?

It shows that China's auto market is in a state of rapid development, and many things planned today will be found to have exceeded your expectations tomorrow.

I don't know what new surprises I will bring to you when I stand here this time next year!

Therefore, China, as the next paradise for adventurers all over the world, will definitely give anyone who goes there a super reward.

Now Zhonghua Group has become the largest private automobile company in China, and our motorcycles and micro-cars have achieved the first place in the market!

But my ambition is not to be the king in China, but to look at the world and become one of the best car companies.

In order to achieve this goal, we need a lot of people to move forward with me, and everyone will work together for a goal!

That's why I'm standing here today.

I sincerely call on those outstanding talents who are interested in realizing their ambitions, giving full play to their potential, and constantly pursuing excellence, to return to China with me and create an industrial miracle in the new century together!"

Han Hao stepped onto the podium and issued a summoning order in front of many Detroit elites.
