Chapter 136: Crash Test

Huaxia Automobile was the first in the national automobile industry, and for the first time, it conducted a live broadcast of the crash test of an unlisted new car, and at the same time opened the scene to the national media. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In fact, the first crash test of domestic automobiles was commissioned by Jeep Cherokee to Huaqing University in 1995, but the crash laboratory conditions were insufficient at that time, and the crash test did not achieve ideal results. The collision was carried out in secrecy and was not known to the public.

After three years of upgrading, the automotive laboratory of Huaqing University has made great progress, and has also spent a lot of money to introduce collision dummies, high-speed cameras and computer data systems, which can derive more scientific data from collisions.

All of a sudden, many media gathered at Huaqing University, and everyone wanted to see with their own eyes what happened to the car collision that was rumored to be miraculous abroad.

The domestic FAW, FAW, SAIC, these major factories have not carried out collision tests, but now Huaxia Automobile took the initiative to jump out, and openly invited reporters to broadcast the whole process. Reporters with a little knowledge of automobiles feel that Huaxia is a little self-conscious, and once the collision fails, it will be exposed by the media immediately, and the new cars that are not on the market should not be sold.

Tao Fuzhi, editor-in-chief of China Economic News, specially appeared at the scene, he was in good spirits and frequently greeted acquaintances. This time, he reminded Han Hao to honor the original bet, as we all know, the sales volume of the Huaxia factory was far lower than expected, and he won the victory. The second is to see what kind of reputation the restless Han Hao has made, car collisions are not a trick, and there must be a strict scientific basis. When he came this time, he also wanted to see what kind of foreign appearance Huaxia Automobile was going to make in public.

Han Hao's old friend, Li Guoan, a senior reporter of Xinhua News Agency who has watched the growth of Huaxia Factory all the way, was also invited to the venue. The light of China generation failed to go public, and he also wrote an article calling for giving national independent brands the opportunity to try and make mistakes. Now that the second generation has not been listed, it will directly broadcast the collision to the media, whether Huaxia Automobile's pace is too big.

"If something goes wrong, it won't end well, and it won't work for so many reporters on the scene to try to gag their mouths. ”

Li Guoan said to Han Hao with concern.

"Rest assured, I don't fight unprepared battles......"

As soon as Han Hao wanted to explain further, he saw Tao Fuzhi striding towards him, and he had no choice but to deal with this difficult editor-in-chief.

"Mr. Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, it looks like you look pretty good. I booked the pages of our newspaper for you a year in advance, so I guess you won't forget too much, right?"

There is both the boast of the victor and the pride of foreseeing the future, the editor-in-chief Tao spread his hands and smiled.

"A gentleman is hard to chase, and I admit to losing this gamble. I have already instructed that soon someone will go to your newspaper office to place an advertisement, and the front page will not be discounted for a week. ”

Although there are thousands of reasons, if you lose, you lose, and Han Hao didn't cheat.

"Children don't listen to the elderly, suffer in front of them, sometimes experience is very important, not just a passion can defeat the laws of science. Automobiles are a combination of high-tech and sophisticated in the industry, and if you rush in, you will suffer a big loss. Even the large enterprises that have been doing automobiles for decades have sought joint venture production, and your private enterprises should be down-to-earth and don't engage in so many gimmicks to attract people's attention, and it is a good strategy to start with auto parts. Frankly speaking, I am still not optimistic about your second-generation products, and I have to toss around blindly before I regret it. ”

The first generation of Huaxia light failed to go public, and the people of the country still remember the major quality problems of the first generation of products, and now the second generation of the name is not changed on the market, which is really young and vigorous, and I am afraid that no one will dare to buy it in the future. Han Hao refused to change his name, and Tao Fuzhi knew that the other party was going to get up from where he fell. He and Han Hao have no personal enmity, they are completely different in terms of views and cognition, and they are in different worldviews.

Huaxia factory is just engaged in motorcycles, without any technical accumulation on the rush to jump into the automotive industry, especially many Chinese state-owned enterprises have proved that cars need to invest heavily in high-tech, the international spread of 150,000 red line said, that is, an automobile factory to survive must have an annual sales of 150,000 scale. Less than this scale will definitely lose money and can't do it, so the domestic investment in automobile state-owned enterprises represented by the "three big and three small" is more than 150,000 vehicles. According to the scale of Huaxia Automobile, the annual output is in the early 10,000s, and the sales volume is impossible to count, which is very different from the red line of 150,000 vehicles.

State-owned enterprises are seeking joint ventures with foreign auto giants, proving that the road of independent research and development is temporarily impassable in China. Your Huaxia factory still dares to use the brand of self-made cars, isn't it too much to mess around?

Tao Fuzhi's point of view is very clear, that is, Huaxia Automobile will definitely not be able to do well under the current situation.

Of course, Han Hao disagrees with this point of view, why can't private automobile enterprises do it well, although the car is very complex, it can still be assembled and produced. Especially in today's economic globalization, many technologies can be purchased and imported from all over the world, and learning to make up for the gaps in China. Temporary backwardness is an objective phenomenon, but we must not lag behind and fail to develop, and we will always be subject to foreign blockades.

150,000 vehicles is the conclusion given by those foreign giants, which may not be suitable for China's national conditions, according to Han Hao's algorithm, as long as 30,000 vehicles can live well in China. Because in terms of model technology, we can implement the "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine, and there is no need for more than one billion new model research and development costs.

The entry of joint venture brands into China has cultivated a number of modern automotive suppliers for China, and independent brands can achieve rapid development on these basis. Many of the suppliers of the Huaxia plant are manufacturers of the joint venture brand system, and the rest are also dominated by the Huaxia factory, which can be said to have taken the free ride of the joint venture brand into China.

Private enterprises are more flexible than state-owned enterprises, and state-owned enterprises can do things for a dollar, and private enterprises may be able to do things for five cents and have a surplus. Like refrigerators, washing machines and color TVs, imported brands used to cost tens of thousands of yuan, but now domestic brands are emerging, and the price will soon reach thousands, and the ultimate benefit is still ordinary Chinese consumers. A Santana, SAIC sells for 180,000 yuan, and if the Huaxia factory comes to do it, it may only sell for 80,000 yuan, and it can still survive.

"Editor-in-Chief Tao, it turns out that you and I have different views on the automotive industry, and no one can convince anyone. However, I hope you can pay more attention to the development of independent car brands, and don't ignore the efforts of people who really do practical things. ”

I wanted to take advantage of the gambling to win a few words of persuasion, but I didn't expect to be led by Han Hao's army, which made Tao Fuzhi a little angry, and he couldn't help sneering.

"It seems that Mr. Han still hasn't learned the lesson of losing the bet, why don't we gamble again and see if your second generation of Huaxia Light has really done something practical?"

I thought that the bet was over, but I didn't expect Tao Fuzhi to repeat the old words, and his expression was still a winning feeling.

"Then let's ask Mr. Li to witness, continue to bet on the sales of the second generation of Huaxia Light, last time it was 6,000 units, this time I took the initiative to double to 12,000 units, and the bet of those who lost doubled?"

Pulling Li Guoan's hand with his hand, Han Hao planned to take the other party's move.

Li Guoan was a little helpless, obviously one of the two people is a well-known editor-in-chief in the industry, and the other is an entrepreneur worth hundreds of millions, but in private they are as naΓ―ve as a child.

"Yes, Lao Li, it is most suitable for you to be a witness, and I agree to accept this new gamble. ”

Under the witness of Li Guoan, a new gamble was established.

β€œ3、2、1!”

"Bang-"

A five-seater minivan of the second generation of Huaxia Light slammed head-on into the concrete barrier wall at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, making a screeching sound before bouncing off.

Due to the high speed, many reporters did not have time to see clearly, only to see a puff of smoke coming out, and the vehicle ended the crash test.

The results have come out: I saw that the front of the vehicle with a pig nose collapsed and absorbed energy, the front wheels also collapsed backwards appropriately, the airbag popped out in time, the dummy did not suffer important injuries under the protection of the seat belt, and the A-pillar was slightly deformed, but it did not affect the opening of the door.

"Oh, I can't imagine that Huaxia Automobile is okay, this collision result is about to catch up with the level of foreign brands. ”

"This kind of small and micro surface safety is much safer than that of flat-top cars, no wonder Huaxia Factory dares to test in front of us. ”

......

Soon, another seven-seater version of the extended model also underwent crash tests, and the results were largely consistent and withstood the test in the field.

"Now I announce that the collision result of the Huaxia H2 model is qualified, which is one of the safest micro-surfaces in China. ”

Director Qi of the Huaqing University Laboratory announced the conclusion of the crash test, and the second generation of Huaxia Light lived up to its own safety slogan.

Originally, I watched with the mentality of looking at foreign appearances, but I didn't expect the second generation of Huaxia Light to perform so well, the micro-design of the new model has changed people's perception of its thin skin and meat filling, and the protection of the driver is extremely thoughtful. From the static feeling, this time the new second generation of Huaxia Light looks to be an era ahead of the existing micro-face, Tao Fuzhi can't help but regret that he rashly agreed to Han Hao's gamble before the collision.

Safety does not mean that there is market competitiveness, maybe there will be problems in power or other aspects, the stability and durability of domestic cars is not a common problem, Tao editor-in-chief can't help but comfort himself in his heart.

After the crash test, Han Hao met with Director Qi, who presided over the automobile laboratory of Huaqing University.

"Mr. Han, I have admired the name for a long time, and your award-winning undergraduate thesis last year can amaze us old scholars and be terrible!"

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the excellent paper review, Director Qi was also among the judges.

"It's too famous, I just have a little more innate advantage than others, and I rely on the resources of Huaxia Factory before the water. In terms of intelligence and talent, I am just an ordinary person, and I am just lucky to win this award. ”

Director Qi had been busy making various preparations for the crash test before, so he didn't have time to greet Han Hao. Now that the experiment is successful, he will have the opportunity to meet the rumored young brilliant entrepreneur.

He promised to welcome teachers and students from Huaqing University to visit the Huaxia factory and explore the establishment of a cooperation mechanism integrating production and research.

"The first micro-plane crash test in China was a great success, and Huaqing University announced the safest model!"

"The second generation of the light of China collided for the first time, announcing his strong return!"

"To live or to perish, what did the Huaxia Light Collision Test reveal?"

......

The majority of media then reported on the second-generation collision test of Huaxia Light, so that many consumers knew that Huaxia Light is back and was judged by Huaqing University as one of the safest models. This scene is the official launch of the second generation of Huaxia Light, which has created enough momentum, and many consumers are looking forward to its final listing.

When he was in the capital, Han Hao suddenly received a call from an acquaintance.
