CHAPTER IX

"Three years, no - two years is enough, I am confident that I can get the hydraulic 3AT out......!

From a state-owned enterprise to a member of a private enterprise, Xu Hongbing, the former chief engineer of Tianjin Automobile Gear Factory, was a little unable to adapt to his new role for a while.

When he came to Zhonghua Group, his salary tripled, but the title was only the leader of a project team, which made him a little disappointed for a while. Although he usually complains about his old club, he can't really leave and can't let go of the concern for the place where he has dedicated his passion and youth.

The title of Chief Engineer Xu has also become the title of Xu Gong, but Xu Hongbing has done a good job of building a psychological gap for himself since he decided to continue his AT career.

But in the face of the leader of the Zhonghua Group, the young man in front of him, who is worth more than 100 million, still feels unnatural when he is over fifty years old.

Although Han Hao's attitude is very kind, his sharp eyes have a silent coercion, which may be the nobility cultivated by those who have been in the top position for a long time.

"I hope to have enough support from people and money, and although the AT project team was disbanded and made a joke, some basic data was retained enough to form the cornerstone of the road to success. ”

Xu Hongbing looked forward to proving himself this time, so he tried his best to fight for the treatment he deserved in front of Han Hao. This is not for selfish interests, but a necessary bag for walking on the road of Huashan. In the foreseeable future, he will either succeed in fame or fail and retire.

"Lao Ling told me, don't worry, you have entered the gate of our China, and we will be a family from now on. Your AT project can be reported to me directly in the future, and the necessary personnel and materials will be met as much as possible. At present, our national automatic transmission is still in the blank stage, even the hydraulic 3AT is a big progress, and there is a market demand for it. ”

Seeing that Xu Hongbing's eyes revealed a stubborn charm, Han Hao knew that he had found the right person.

Being able to report directly to the boss of the company is enough to show the importance of the AT project, and Han Hao attaches great importance to talents like Xu Hongbing.

When Zhonghua Group's Pangu series engines flourished in the domestic market, the old domestic power enterprises represented by Dong'an tasted the bitter taste of falling out of favor on the cold bench.

However, the hard times will soon pass, as the 1.3-liter engine with Mitsubishi 4G1 technology has been successfully mass-produced. Judging from the comparison of various data, Dongan Mitsubishi's 1.3L engine is comparable to Zhonghua Group's Pangu 1.2L competitors.

What's more, Mitsubishi also provided the Chinese side with the F5M supporting transmission technology, which is equipped with a 1.3L engine power system, which has the super strength to be mounted on the new generation of micro cars.

"Finally, when the bitter day comes, we Dong'an will prove to the nouveau riche in the south who is the ruler of the domestic power kingdom!"

Stroking the new 1.3L powertrain that had just rolled off the assembly line, a leader of the Dongan plant couldn't help but speak.

The main reason why Huaxia Light can kill all sides in the micro-surface market is that it has a relatively excellent power system. If you consider that everyone is equipped with the same powertrain, Huaxia Light is not so good that it is invincible.

When it was learned that Dongan Mitsubishi's 1.3L engine was successfully rolled off the assembly line, domestic micro-car giants Changan, Changhe, and Hafei expressed a strong willingness to purchase.

Since the dust settled on the joint venture between Changan Automobile and Ford, their relationship with Suzuki has fallen to a freezing point. The engine required for the Changan Star, which was developed with the support of Suzuki, was retaliated by the Japanese side and ran out of stock, resulting in a rapid decline in the market share of the Changan Star, which had been pinned on high hopes.

After Yin Qiuhui, the CEO of Changan Automobile, made up his mind to no longer rely on Suzuki Motors to walk on one leg, in addition to marrying Ford Motor to find another thigh, attaching importance to building independent research and development capabilities is another major focus of his efforts.

"We must localize Chang'an Star as soon as possible, adopt localized parts, and reduce costs in order to compete with Huaxia Light, so that we can survive in the fierce market competition!"

Yin Qiuxi's words can be described as very strategic, relying on heaven and earth is better than relying on yourself, Changan Automobile has tasted the bitter fruit of pinning its hopes on others. If you don't work hard and rely on yourself, you will be eliminated from the market sooner or later in the future.

Therefore, when Dongan introduced Mitsubishi's 1.3L power system into mass production, Changan was the most active customer. They plan to install this 1.3-liter engine on the Changan Star to reduce their dependence on Suzuki engines. According to their estimates, the cost of the powertrain alone can reduce the price by more than 30%.

While Chang'an is gearing up, micro-car giants Changhe and Hafei are also unwilling to be lonely. The two companies also plan to use the new 1.3L engine to match the new production model next year, so as to fight against the powerful domestic enemy - Huaxia Light.

"Changhe Dolphin" and "Hafei Horse Racing" are the secret weapons of the two companies, but they are still in the secret laboratory, but the power system has been determined to use the new generation of products from the same group of Dong'an plants.

Having a common enemy has forced the domestic micro-car giants to tacitly unite to collectively encircle and suppress the boss in the current market - Huaxia Automobile.

In addition to them, there is another figure lurking, and Chery Automobile is also eyeing this set of small-displacement power systems that are at the international leading level.

Seeing that Huaxia QQ is hot in the subdivided micro-car market, Chery Automobile has created its own similar model "Rarity" according to the gourd painting.

Since Chery only has a 1.6-liter engine production line, this engine cannot be installed in the new model "Rarity", so they also need to purchase small displacement engines. According to the original plan, the Rarity will be equipped with an improved 1.0L engine from the 465 series EFI from the Dongan plant.

However, during the trial sale in the market, consumers were seriously suspicious of this car that was 2000 yuan cheaper than Huaxia QQ, especially after learning the engine data, they showed that it was not as good as Huaxia QQ, and the cost performance was not high enough.

This made Chery's senior management, who consciously defeated China's "Qin" with "Fengyun" in the field of sedans, very unhappy, and immediately decided to replace the obsolete 1.0L products with a new 1.3L engine.

In addition to pulling down the Zhonghua "Qin" in the field of sedans, it is also necessary to continue to maintain a good momentum of offensive in the field of micro cars and defeat the market leader Huaxia QQ.

According to Chery's internal forecast, the Rarity, which is equipped with a new 1.3-liter powertrain, is not inferior to the QQ in terms of product power.

Feng Shui will come to my house next year, and for the young team of Chery Automobile, Zhonghua Group is not an invincible opponent.

In the field of subdivided models that Zhonghua Group is proud of, many domestic competitors are preparing for big moves, striving to defeat the Zhonghua Group, which is the target of the public.

"Lingxi, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have become too much for my aunt to recognize! I have always hoped to have a beautiful and smart daughter like you. Ascend, what about the gift you prepared, why don't you take it out quickly?"

Chen Qizhao's family came to the capital before the start of school, and the family of three, an old classmate Wei Mingjian, was received as the host, and the two families met in a restaurant box in the capital.

Wei Mingjian's wife Huang Qiufeng learned the news of Chen Lingxi from her husband, and as soon as she saw the other party's real person, she secretly said that what her husband said was too conservative.

Huang Qiufeng also took a fancy to this girl from Yuzhou at a glance, Chen Lingxi was better than she imagined, so she hurriedly let her son come to the stage to perform.

"You...... Hello, this is a manuscript that I asked a friend to help me find. It records the strategies for studying and living in Huaqing University, which are all summaries of the experience of previous students, and is known as a must-have red book for freshmen. Hope you enjoy this gift!"

Wei Denggao has been studying in the capital's famous middle school and has seen a lot of beautiful girls, but Chen Lingxi's appearance still made him feel amazing.

He took out a manuscript wrapped in fine gift paper and said as he nervously held on to the frame of his glasses.

"Thank you, I loved the gift, it was very practical. ”

Chen Lingxi took the manuscript and said generously.

Hearing the heavenly thank you of the girl in front of him, Wei Denggao couldn't help blushing and said politely.

Before going to the banquet, his parents hinted at him looking for a girlfriend or something like that, and Wei Denggao certainly understood the mystery. However, he was quite disgusted that his parents had arranged everything for him, and now that he had finally gone to college, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and he resisted his parents' hints. In his impression, this girl named Lingxi had seen nothing special when she was a child.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Chen Lingxi today, the eighteenth change of the female college student, the original resistance immediately disappeared, and a positive attitude of thanking his parents for their help surged in his heart.

"This is our native product of Yuzhou, give it to you to taste. ”

Coming and not being rude, Chen Lingxi prepared a return gift of hometown snacks such as twist flowers, peach slices and beef jerky.

Seeing that the two young people met for the first time seemed quite compatible, the adults of the two families, especially the mothers of both sides, were secretly satisfied. It is estimated that if a young person proposes an engagement on the spot, both parents will not hesitate to settle down.

Wei Denggao's impression of Chen Lingxi soon coincided with the impression he had when he was a child, a quiet boy who liked to stay in his own world. She doesn't have very special feelings, and only treats the other party as an ordinary friend.

Although he wanted to express himself very much, Wei Denggao found himself stuttering and exhausted his words for the first time, and his conversations with Chen Lingxi ended in a few sentences in a hurry, and he could not continue to go deeper on a topic. You can feel that the girl on the other side is trying to cooperate with her chat, otherwise the topic would have ended long ago.

Fortunately, the waiter served the food in time to save him from his predicament, thinking that he could talk for a long time, but he didn't expect to achieve nothing in front of Chen Lingxi.

During the meal, Wei Denggao felt remorseful and kept thinking about how to save his image.

"Lingxi, you are really destined to study at the same university as Denggao. When you were kids, the two of you played family together, and now you're alumni classmates. When you go to university, you should have more contact with each other and communicate more. In study and life, if you encounter any difficulties, you can find Denggao to help solve them. What he can't do, and the aunt is out of the horse, he guarantees that you won't be bullied in any way. ”

Huang Qiufeng took advantage of such a good opportunity to try to match the two young people in front of him. When the son grows up, he should have his own life. As a mother, she also saw that her son seemed to have a good impression of Chen Lingxi.

"I thank you in advance for Lingxi, our Lingxi has been relatively independent since childhood, and sometimes he suffers a dumb loss with a good face. I really won't tell you anything, Lingxi is studying alone in the capital, and I really can't rest assured, I'm worried that she will be bullied. Now that you are taking care of her in the capital, Lao Chen and I will be much more relieved after returning to Yuzhou!"

Chen Lingxi's mother, Yan Xiaochen, quickly followed the topic, and she was very satisfied with Wei Denggao's child today.

"I'll contact you when school starts!"

When leaving, Wei Denggao finally mustered up the courage to say to Chen Lingxi.

After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, he felt that he had finally moved back to a city and had not missed the good opportunity given to him by God.
