Chapter 0276: Revisiting Bosch
After two days and two nights on the train, Zhou Jingming arrived in Shencheng.
Despite the fatigue, Zhou Jingming still did not go back to the car factory to rest, but came to the Future Innovation Studio with his tired body, ready to follow up the construction progress of the wind tunnel laboratory.
The professional team responsible for the design and construction of the wind tunnel laboratory had already moved in here a week ago and started work, and when Zhou Jingming arrived, a group of people were standing in the open space of the original workshop and gesturing something.
After Zhou Jingming's inquiry, Zhou Jingming also roughly understood the current progress of the project, the preliminary construction plan has been decided, according to Zhou Jingming's requirements, this time the wind tunnel laboratory is a one-to-five specification, just those people are making preliminary plans for the equipment arrangement inside the laboratory.
If nothing else, in a week's time, the lab will be ready to start working.
After mastering the progress here, Zhou Jingming returned to the car factory, and he didn't even have time to go to the gear factory, he was carrying too many projects now, and next time, no matter who assigned him a new task, Zhou Jingming had to learn to say no.
The next morning, October 29th.
Because it happened to be Monday, Zhou Jingming attended the weekly meeting of the car factory as usual. After the meeting, Xu Guanglu stopped Zhou Jingming, who was about to go out.
"What did you gain from going to FAW this time?" Xu Guanglu motioned for Zhou Jingming to sit down while packing up his things.
"I didn't get any results, but I came back with another task. Zhou Jingming said with a wry smile. Since he came back yesterday, he hasn't reported this matter to Xu Guanglu.
"Oh, why did FAW ask you to help you with anything? Xu Guanglu asked curiously.
Chen Dongsheng asked Zhou Jingming to give his opinion on the replacement of the Hongqi car, and Xu Guanglu knew about it.
"I put forward the proposal of creating a Hongqi sub-brand with FAW, and then they thought it was a good suggestion, so Director Chen handed over the design of Hongqi sub-brand models to me. Zhou Jingming said calmly.
"You mean, Lao Chen handed over the design project of a new car to you?" Xu Guanglu stopped what he was doing and asked with a surprised expression.
The design of a new car is not a simple project!
How many engineers have been engaged in a lifetime and are not qualified for the position of head of a new car design!
What's more, the new car that Chen Dongsheng handed over to Zhou Jingming is still affiliated to the Hongqi brand, and once it is not done well, it will be necessary to apologize to the people of the whole country!
"Yes, how can you listen to your tone from the factory director, do you believe me?" Looking at Xu Guanglu's surprised expression, Zhou Jingming laughed.
"It's not that I don't believe you. Xu Guanglu hurriedly waved his hand, he has known Zhou Jingming for more than two years, and the experience of working with Zhou Jingming over the years has made him clear, don't question Zhou Jingming's ability, only you can't think of it, there is nothing he can't do!
"I just think that the brand of Hongqi is too special, not only the sub-brand, but also the replacement of the old Hongqi, it is a hot potato, if it is not good, it will leave you a stain. ”
"I know what the factory director said, but being able to personally take charge of the design of a car will be a rare opportunity for me, and the factory director Chen also agreed to give me technical support. Xu Guanglu can think about himself like this, Zhou Jingming is naturally moved in his heart.
"If you can think like this, I must also support you, anyway, the car factory has no other things to do at the moment, you can concentrate on other things, if there is any work that needs to be arranged for you, I will inform you." Xu Guanglu also knew that Zhou Jingming now had many projects, so the car factory had not assigned him new tasks for a long time.
After returning home, He Yingqing was sitting in front of the window looking at something, Zhou Jingming quietly walked behind her, hugged her waist from behind, and pillowed his head on He Yingqing's shoulder, "What are you looking at, so engrossed, I don't even know if I came in." ”
"Magazines!" He Yingqing raised the magazine in her hand and said sweetly.
Zhou Jingming took a closer look, it was actually a foreign magazine about racing, which introduced some of the world's main automobile events and classic racing models, which can be regarded as a popular reading.
"Do you like racing so much?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile. He remembered that after meeting He Yingqing in the library for the first time, He Yingqing told him that he was very fond of racing.
"Uh-huh! It feels cool. He Yingqing nodded.
"Then I'll design a special car for you later, and then build a team, what do you think?"
"Are you going to be a race car driver?"
"Yes, I'll drive a car of my own design and bring you a Grand Slam trophy back!"
…………
What posterity doesn't know is that the Grand Slam teams, which quietly rose to prominence at the end of the 20th century and dominated the four major FIA races, were established in this context.
Of course, these are all later words.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was November, and the temperature in Shencheng gradually dropped. During this period of time, Zhou Jingming didn't mention how fulfilling his life was, he was completely in the state of a working machine, and various projects were bombarded in turn, which was simply not too fulfilling.
On this day, Zhou Jingming, as usual, after having breakfast at home, was ready to go to the library, Hongqi Dongfeng's preliminary plan had not yet been completed, Zhou Jingming thought that before the end of this year, how to give the preliminary plan.
It's just that as soon as he was about to go out, the phone at home rang, and when Zhou Jingming heard it, it was He Yingxun calling.
"Brother-in-law, I just called us from across the ocean, it seems to be from Bosch, so that if you have time, you can go to Germany. He Yingxun said on the phone.
Bosch?
Then it must be related to the experiment of direct injection in the cylinder!
Zhou Jingming did not have any delay, and immediately came to Xunming Gear Factory, and the phone he left for Royce was indeed from Xunming Gear Factory.
In order to avoid running in vain, Zhou Jingming made a special call to Bosch to confirm, and as he guessed, Bosch has produced high-pressure pumps, fuel injectors and other parts according to the drawings provided by Zhou Jingming, and the next step is to prepare a series of performance tests and improvements for the engine.
They called Zhou Jingming this time, and they also wanted Zhou Jingming to participate in the experiment, and it was best to provide ideas for the next step of improvement.
"Third brother, pack your things, let's get ready to fly to Germany." After confirming, Zhou Jingming immediately said to Wang Yuanchao.
At present, direct injection in the cylinder is the project that Zhou Jingming is most concerned about, because it is directly related to how many resources he can have after starting his own business independently in the future.
With the help of Lee Ming-che, the two people's application to go abroad was quickly approved, and after getting the visa and buying the air ticket, Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao took a plane to the Bosch headquarters in Stuttgart on November 20.
This is also Zhou Jingming's second visit to Bosch.
