Chapter 0458 Agree to negotiate
The document is written in German, and in addition to a large paragraph of text, you can see several illustrations on the sides of the text.
Brant took the document curiously, looked at Zhou Jingming, and then looked at it seriously, at first, Brant didn't pay much attention to it, but as he looked down, the whole person also became slightly trembling, and the expression on his face suddenly became shocked.
"How is that possible?" Brandt said with a look of disbelief as he held the document in his hand, "Why do you know the core technology of our Audi Quattro full-time four-wheel drive system?"
The document that Zhou Jingming gave to Brandt is a brief introduction to the core technology of the Quattro system, although Zhou Jingming did not describe the principle of the core technology in detail in the document, but this has shocked Brandt, because Audi has never announced these contents, how did Zhou Jingming know?
"Mr. Brandt, rest assured, what I wrote in the document, the source is absolutely legitimate, I disassembled an Audi with the Quattro system and then groped it out. Zhou Jingming saw Brandt's doubts, so he explained with a smile.
Of course, this is just a reason that Zhou Jingming made up casually, he didn't have time to disassemble the internal structure of the Quattro system, which he wrote down with his previous memory.
The so-called core technology of the Quattro system actually refers to the torsen differential specially designed by Audi for this system, which is what we call the Torsen differential.
The use of this Torsen differential makes the entire Quattro full-time four-wheel drive system do not require any electronic system intervention, and completely relies on pure mechanical methods to work, so the response time is extremely fast, which greatly improves the safety and passability of the vehicle.
When the car accelerates, the rear wheels of the vehicle are stressed more, and the Torsen differential will automatically allocate more power to the rear wheels to obtain greater traction, and when the vehicle accelerates and turns, and when the wheel slips, the Torsen differential will allocate more power to the wheels without slippage, so that the car can get out of trouble faster.
It is thanks to the Torsen differential that Audi's Quattro system stands out from the crowd of all-wheel drive systems.
However, Zhou Jingming also has to admit that Audi can achieve so many performance requirements without relying on any electronic system, but through exquisite pure mechanical design, which is indeed to bring the mechanical art to the extreme.
"Mr. Zhou really obtained so much useful information just by disassembling our company's cars?" Brant still couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Could it be that Mr. Brant suspects that I have obtained these materials through illegal means?" Zhou Jingming smiled, "If this is the case, why should I bother so much to talk to you about technology exchange? Wouldn't it be better to directly use these technologies for research and development?"
As soon as Zhou Jingming said this, Brant also realized his language mistakes, and hurriedly waved his hand apologetically, "Mr. Zhou, please don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else, I just think all this is too unbelievable." ”
Since the Torsen differential can become a core technology of Audi company, then Audi company must be strictly confidential, saying that Zhou Jingming obtained this technology through other means, it is indeed a bit far-fetched, but if Zhou Jingming can really learn about this information on the document just by dismantling, to be honest, it makes Brant even more surprised!
What kind of fairy mind does this have to be able to come up with this information?
Although this information does not touch the real core principle of the Torsen differential, it does not rule out the possibility that Zhou Jingming deliberately concealed it, and with Zhou Jingming's ability, coupled with this information, if Tianming wants to develop a full-time four-wheel drive similar to the Quattro system, it is not impossible!
"Mr. Brandt, I show you this information, and I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell Mr. Brandt that the Quattro four-wheel drive system is not irreplaceable, I still say that, relying on our own ability, I can independently develop a replacement that is not inferior to or even surpasses your company's Quattro system in terms of performance, and I can complete this development in two years at most. ”
Zhou Jingming said this, not to say a big thing, with his understanding of various technologies, as long as he is willing to invest energy in development, it is not a problem, after all, his technical awareness, at least 20 years ahead of these people!
"Of course, if Audi is still unwilling to reach such a cooperation agreement with me, there is nothing, I can talk to other companies about cooperation, but the use of ESP system, will definitely be affected, next year our company's Kirin car, will be fully equipped with ESP system, full-time four-wheel drive technology is not so urgent for us, but ESP system ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Jingming deliberately paused and did not continue. There are some words that work best halfway through.
Sure enough, after listening to Zhou Jingming's words, Brant immediately fell into deep thought, the paragraph Zhou Jingming just said was quite informative.
Since next year Tianming company will be equipped with ESP system on all Kirin cars, so in order to cope with this trend, the rest of the car manufacturers will inevitably follow for their models equipped with ESP system, if Audi company because of the breakdown of this negotiation and did not obtain the right to use the ESP system, then before Audi developed its own ESP system, will not fall into passivity?
And Zhou Jingming himself said that Tianming Automobile Company is not in a hurry to use Quattro technology, once they develop their own full-time four-wheel drive system within two years, then it is Audi that suffers.
"Mr. Zhou, let me report this matter to the company, I can't make a decision alone. Thinking of this, Brant did not hesitate, and immediately said so.
After all, it involves the core technology of Audi, and Brant really can't be the master alone, and it must be discussed and decided by the company's senior management.
"Well, then I'll wait for Mr. Brandt's good news. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile.
As long as Brandt's side is willing to let go, then there is room for negotiation in the next matter, whether it is to use the ESP system to add money, or to add other conditions, Zhou Jingming can negotiate with them.
On Brant's side, after going back, he also contacted the relevant leaders of Audi for the first time, and truthfully reported the information that Zhou Jingming has so far.
After receiving the feedback from Brandt, Audi also urgently convened a discussion meeting, and after a heated discussion, the CEO of Audi made a final decision: technology exchange can be carried out, but the ESP system alone is definitely not enough, and Tianming needs to pay the rest of the price.
After getting the company's instructions, Brandt also found Zhou Jingming the next day, showed him the attitude of Audi, and expressed his willingness to negotiate.
