After a big circle, Zhou Jingming returned to the original starting point, nothing more than to take a look at the latest research and development status of VR6 engine, if you can learn even a little core technology, it is of great significance for the progress of domestic engine technology.

As we all know, not to mention in the 80s, even in the 21st century, the level of domestic engines is far behind that of Western automobile powers. If you want to really make the domestic automobile industry jump to a new level, the engine level must keep up!

As the heart of a car, if the engine technology cannot be improved, the level of the automobile industry will never be improved, which is beyond doubt.

Zhou Jingming from the determination to enter the SAIC car factory work, there is a grand blueprint on the development trajectory of China's automobile industry, accelerating the localization process of mulberry car is the first step, synchronous development of auto parts is the next thing to do.

The last time Hu Yibing wanted to expand his business, Zhou Jingming's proposal for a "special fund" was also for the simultaneous development of parts services, but at present, the conditions were not allowed, and after returning to China, Zhou Jingming still had to find a way to persuade Xu Guanglu to agree to this suggestion.

As for the VR6 engine technology that is now "requested" from Volkswagen, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain from this overseas exchange, originally Zhou Jingming didn't think that he could learn any core technology from Volkswagen, let alone Volkswagen, he changed to any company, and he would not easily share his core technology with others.

However, Zhou Jingming is not in a hurry, because he still has bargaining chips.

Christian looked embarrassed, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, the research and development of VR6 engine is a key project of our company, it's not that I don't take you to visit, first, this project has just begun, and there is no substantial progress at present, and second, can I take you to visit, it's not for me to decide, this requires the consent of the company's senior management." ”

No matter how much Christian admires Zhou Jingming, he doesn't dare to joke about the company's core interests, so he still keeps a clear head at this point.

"I can understand that. Zhou Jingming nodded, he wouldn't agree easily, "But I have a proposal here, I wonder if Dr. Christian would like to hear it?"

"Mr. Zhou, if you have any suggestions, please say. ”

Zhou Jingming smiled, without any hesitation, and immediately said, "My proposal is, can the two of us jointly develop this VR6 engine?"

Joint research and development, this is the ultimate goal of Zhou Jingming said a large circle, if you want to directly get it from the Volkswagen for free, or even spend money to buy engine technology, it should be impossible, then Zhou Jingming can only change the method and put forward such a joint research and development proposal.

Once the two sides can reach a consensus, Volkswagen agrees to jointly develop this engine with SAIC, as a partner, Zhou Jingming and they naturally have the right to request information sharing, when the time comes, the entire VR6 engine related technology, will be presented in front of Zhou Jingming, why not learn the core technology?

Of course, Zhou Jingming also knows that it is absolutely impossible for Volkswagen to easily agree to the proposal of jointly developing VR6 engines, and a series of conditions will definitely be attached, but it does not mean that it is really impossible.

It's man-made, and if you can't just rely on your mouth, then you can only do it.

Christian was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation, "With all due respect, I don't think your country has the ability to develop engines." ”

It is also possible that he is worried that his words will be misunderstood, and Christian quickly explained, "Mr. Zhou, please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to look down on you, I just think that the research and development of the engine is no more than other aspects, and there are too many technical aspects involved, and with the current situation in your country, I think it will be very difficult." ”

Zhou Jingming smiled, Christian said this, it was already very face-saving for them, not to mention the hardship, it was simply comparable to God!

Just imagine, just the localization of Santana models, it took more than five years in China to gradually get on the right track, and some of the most basic parts are localized, if you want to develop an engine from scratch, how is it possible?

Of course, all this was the situation before Zhou Jingming's rebirth, and since he was reborn, Zhou Jingming felt that it was time to make some changes.

"I understand what you mean, Doctor, but what if I am also involved in the development of the VR6 engine, does Doctor think there is still a possibility of cooperation?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile, his face full of confidence.

"Mr. Zhou still knows engine technology?" asked Christian in surprise.

There is still a big difference between the chassis of the car and the engine, whether it is in China or abroad, they are two different majors, this Zhou Jingming still understands these?

Zhou Jingming smiled, "What, the doctor doesn't believe me?"

"No, no," Christian hurriedly waved his hand, "I still have no doubt about Mr. Zhou's ability, and if this project is joined by Mr. Zhou, I believe that there will be progress soon." However, this matter still needs the consent of the company's leaders, and I have no right to decide. ”

Whether it was yesterday's performance or Zhou Jingming's insight just now, Christian didn't dare to have any reason to doubt him, but he really couldn't call the shots in this matter.

"I understand the doctor's suffering, or else, after the doctor goes back, can you mention this matter to the leaders of the public, after I go back, I will also communicate with our Director Li, and the specific matters will be further studied and judged by the leaders of both sides, what do you think?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.

To be honest, Zhou Jingming can't be the master of such a big matter. The reason why I mentioned this incident to Christian was not only to probe the public's mouth, but also to "poke it up".

"Yes, I'll tell the leader when I go back. Christian nodded.

"Then thank you, Doctor. Zhou Jingming said gratefully.

"Xiao Zhou, what did you just tell him?" After Zhou Jingming finished talking to Christian, Luo Yuzhong on the side hurriedly asked.

The rest of the people also came up one after another, and just now the two of them muttered a lot of words, and none of them could understand.

"I'm talking to them about co-developing engines. Zhou Jingming replied.

"Did they agree to develop the engine?" asked again.

Zhou Jingming shook his head, "There is no conclusion yet, and I have to go back and ask Director Li to negotiate." ”

"If we can really promote the joint research and development of Volkswagen's engine, it will be an unexpected gain for us, which is more conducive to the improvement of domestic technology than the direct introduction of Santana!" Luo Yuzhong said happily.

"I think so too, and when I go back today, I'll go and talk to Director Li about it. For now, let's go ahead and visit. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

After the end of the visit to the engine factory, in the afternoon, the group went to the transmission factory to visit and study, and after everything was over, everyone returned to the hotel by car.

After returning to the hotel, the first thing Zhou Jingming did was to find Li Mingzhe, but Li Mingzhe had not come back at this time, so he should have been busy socializing.
