Chapter 0725 F1 Engine Supplier

After the development of Hongmeng Supercar was arranged, Zhou Jingming called the heads of several subsidiaries such as He Yingxun, Wang Yuanchao and Chen Zhenyu and announced his "group development" plan to them.

"What kind of models need to be developed, how many models to develop, you go back to study and decide, I don't make specific requirements, the general direction is to diversify the brand's marketing based on the existing models,"

Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued, "There is also a must do a good job of market research, absolutely not behind closed doors, starting from this year, the group will begin to truly implement the self-financing of each subsidiary, and the performance of you at the end of the year will be strictly assessed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the group." ”

Among the existing high-level executives of Tianming Group, most of them are veterans who have fought with Zhou Jingming, so when considering the merits, Zhou Jingming will naturally treat them preferentially, and he is not afraid of others saying that he is "nepotism", but if the management blindly pays attention to human feelings and ignores the rules, then this company will not last long.

In the strict management of this matter, Zhao Ke has also reminded Zhou Jingming many times, asking him to achieve rewards and punishments, but at that time, the group was responsible for Zhou Jingming, and Zhou Jingming didn't take it to heart, but now that he wants to delegate power, he naturally has to set up the rules.

In the face of Zhou Jingming, who suddenly became strict, He Yingxun and others did not have any dissatisfaction, they can have today's achievements and status, it can be said that Zhou Jingming gave them, they have been in management for so many years, they naturally know the difficulties of being in a high position, and the pressure on the general manager of a subsidiary is still so great, not to mention that Tianming Group is such a big group, and Zhou Jingming needs to carry it alone.

Because this time I called these people to Ali, mainly to announce this matter, and Zhou Jingming only stipulated the general direction requirements, and did not give detailed technical guidance, so in less than half an hour, the meeting ended.

"As I said at the meeting, when you go back, you can make your own arrangements within the company. In addition, Lao Chen's luxury car company can suspend the development of new cars, Yanhuang sedan has just been on the market not long ago, and now Lao Chen is still in charge of Bugatti and Lamborghini, I don't think there is so much energy to develop new cars. ”

After the meeting, Zhou Jingming did not forget to advise.

"Chairman, there is no need to postpone, now the R&D department of the luxury car company has no new development tasks, and the management of Lamborghini and Bugatti has no conflict with the development of new cars. However, Chen Zhenyu waved his hand and patted his chest and said.

"Look at Lao Chen's pride, I found that since the Yanhuang car was listed, Lao Chen's waist has been straightened, you want to compare the development of new cars with us, our car company has three car brands, how can it press you!" He Yingxun on the side laughed.

"We are comparing quality, not quantity, if you have to manage more brands, don't forget, I am now in charge of Lamborghini and Bugatti, plus Rolls-Royce, a total of four brands, and they are all luxury cars, how can you not accept it?" Chen Zhenyu responded with a smile.

Looking at Chen Zhenyu's smug expression, the rest of the people couldn't help laughing, and the entire conference room suddenly burst into joy.

"Lao Chen said that the only thing is quality. Daxun you really can't, you don't need three brands to develop new cars at the same time, Xiaofuwa can put it aside for the time being. After the laughter, Zhou Jingming continued.

"Okay, I'll add it up when I go back, and I'll do what I can. He Yingxun replied.

"Then what about our powertrain company, is it to cooperate with them?" Wang Yuanchao on the side was anxious and hurriedly asked.

The parts factory has always served the main engine factory, this time the group development, the main work in the main engine factory, the parts factory only needs to cooperate with some changes, the overall work task is not large.

"Didn't I tell you last time, you are responsible for the specific development work, but the engine of HarmonyOS and F1 cars is the top priority, and by 2000 at the latest, we must become the engine supplier of F1 events. Zhou Jingming replied very seriously.

Racing engines participating in Formula 1 races are not just what they want to use, they must use engines provided by engine suppliers specified by the FIA, and the current official engine suppliers of Formula 1 include Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, BMW, and Honda.

In terms of the distribution of the team, the Ferrari team naturally uses its own engine, and the same Ferrari engine, as well as the Alfa Romeo team, and the McLaren team, the biggest competitor of the Ferrari team, uses the Mercedes-Benz engine, but before that, the McLaren team has also used Ford and Porsche engines.

The Williams team currently uses Renault engines, but it will soon switch to BMW engines.

In general, with the exception of Scuderia Ferrari's timeless use of its own engines, the rest of the teams have changed their engines several times in their history, making Ferrari considered the most successful engine supplier in F1 history.

If you want to use your own engine during the race, you must become the official engine supplier of F1, otherwise, you can only use other engines.

"Some time ago, I systematically understood the conditions of the F1 engine supplier, and if I declare it, it should not be a big problem. During this time, I will first prepare the materials, and at most a month, I will submit the declaration to the FIA. Wang Yuanchao replied.

Regarding the declaration of F1 engine suppliers, Zhou Jingming privately told Wang Yuanchao about it, and Wang Yuanchao also remembered it.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Zhou Jingming nodded, "Let's all go back and prepare for the next work, I will inform you again if there is anything." ”

When He Yingxun and the others heard this, they did not linger in the conference room, and walked out one after another, while Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao walked at the back.

"Third brother, at present, the F1 committee requires that all engines participating in the competition must be naturally aspirated, not equipped with turbocharging, and there are also detailed regulations on displacement, so when developing engines, we must pay attention to following the requirements. Zhou Jingming said as he walked.

The use of turbocharged engines in Formula 1 first emerged in 1977, when Renault first introduced turbocharged engines at Silverstone in England, and in 1980 it proved the competitiveness of turbocharging, beating Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and other well-known manufacturers at the time.

For more than a decade, turbocharging was used in Formula 1 until 1989, when the FIA issued a ban to limit the brutal development of turbocharging and ensure the reliability and safety of the car, and Formula 1 returned to the naturally aspirated era.

The ban was not lifted until 2008.

"Don't worry, I'm guaranteed to be an F1 engine supplier this year, so just wait for the good news. Wang Yuanchao put his arm around Zhou Jingming's shoulders and said confidently.
