Chapter 0729: Time flies
After understanding the research progress of the entire F1 engine, Zhou Jingming felt relieved in his heart.
After dinner, Zhou Jingming stayed here for one night in Wang Yuanchao, and the next morning he was ready to take the car back to Shencheng.
"You can arrange the research on the new energy generation surface that I told you in advance, because this is the key direction of our group's development in the future. Although the research on batteries is not related to the engine, after all, this is also a powertrain aspect, and the main work must be in charge of you. ”
Before leaving, Zhou Jingming did not forget to advise.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it, but the knowledge of batteries is really beyond the scope of our engine engineers' research, and in terms of knowledge training, you have to give us a lot of money." Wang Yuanchao said with a smile.
"I've already made arrangements for this. However, you powertrain here, do not need to be too proficient in research, battery research, I will hire special talents to engage in development, you only need to master the principle, when the time comes, from the ordinary engine to new energy, you have to provide reference advice. ”
No matter how new energy vehicles are, they are also developed on the basis of traditional cars, if you do not have the knowledge of traditional cars, it is difficult to do a good job of cars, which is why many Internet companies are not successful in making cars, cars do not mean that you have money to invest, this is a high-end industry that really tests technology.
After explaining some key points, Zhou Jingming sat in the car.
"Slow down on the road. Wang Yuanchao told the driver, and then waved his hand at Zhou Jingming.
After finishing the engine matter, Zhou Jingming returned to his previous life again, except for holding a group project meeting every two weeks, usually attending important occasions, and the rest of the time was spent staying at home, reading books, taking children, and accompanying his wife, as if he had lived a retirement life in advance.
And just like that, time passed day by day. Winter has gone to spring, although Zhou Jingming's living conditions have not changed much, Tianming Group has been thriving, and the sales of the group's major models have reached new highs.
In June, Zhou Jingming went to South America to attend the commissioning ceremony of the Brazilian factory and the establishment ceremony of the South American branch of Tianming Group.
The commissioning of the South American production base has also expanded the global footprint of Tianming Group, and the production that had previously been reduced due to the crisis in Southeast Asia has also been supplemented by the successful entry into the South American market.
In addition, in Southeast Asia, after entering 1998, the financial crisis intensified, and now has entered the second round of climax, after more than half a year of evacuation, Toyota's business in Southeast Asia has been completely suspended, and the resulting losses to Toyota have not recovered until now.
In terms of island countries, the operation of the joint venture established by Tianming Group and Mazda is also gradually improving, and the Phoenix car and Kirin car that were introduced into the island market in the early stage are particularly popular with consumers in the island country, and the half-year sales of a single model, the Phoenix car ranks third in the island market, second only to Accord and Camry.
In addition, after Mazda's unremitting efforts, Zhou Jingming finally agreed to introduce the Yixuan SUV into the island market, originally this car Zhou Jingming planned to invest in the way of building a factory as a sole proprietorship, but out of consideration of the group's global strategy, Zhou Jingming finally gave up such an idea, and instead adopted the joint venture proposed by Mazda.
Thanks to the prosperity of the joint venture, Mazda finally has enough funds to reverse the company's current decline, and step by step out of the crisis, and it will not be long before it can return to the peak state of the year.
In this context, Mazda has become more and more trusting of Tianming Group, and the cooperation between the two companies has also transitioned from the production side to the technical field, and the exchanges between the top executives have become more and more intensive.
After the things in South America were over, Zhou Jingming returned to China again and returned to his previous life, but Zhou Jingming also knew that such days would end in half a year at most, because in the future, the group still has a lot of things to plan for him.
The time suddenly entered December, and the weather in Shencheng gradually became colder, and there was only less than a month left before the end of 1998.
1998 was an extraordinary year for both Tianming Group and the whole world.
The Southeast Asian financial crisis evolved into the Asian financial crisis, the US-British coalition air raid on Iraq, "Titanic" won 11 Academy Awards, and Microsoft officially released the Windows 98 operating system......
On the domestic side, the 20th anniversary of reform and opening up, the successful first flight of China's self-developed J-10 fighter, and the first part of "Huanzhu Gege", which is popular throughout Asia, was officially broadcast.
This flood was the most serious flood that occurred since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which lasted more than three months and caused countless losses, but in the end, with the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, it finally survived this difficulty.
In order to assist the disaster-stricken areas, Tianming Group actively responded to the call and successively donated a total of 1 billion yuan in cash, and the value of various disaster relief materials also exceeded 100 million yuan, becoming the private enterprise with the largest donation in China at that time, which was widely recognized and highly praised by the society.
In general, this year has sorrows and joys, gains and losses, whether it is Tianming Group or Yang Zhonghua, they have gained strength and touched in the year of 1998.
Zhou Jingming's home, Zhou Jingming, who knew that he didn't have much leisure time, didn't even read books during this time, and concentrated on accompanying his family, Zhou Yixue, who was almost two years old, could already call his parents, more than half a year earlier than when Zhou Yixuan spoke, which made Zhou Jingming very surprised.
As Zhou Yixuan grows older, the little guy has become restless, usually when he is at home, he will inevitably take his sister to run around the house, very naughty, fortunately, Zhou Jingming's family is big enough, otherwise there is really no way to lock this little guy in the house.
"Wife, when Da Xun was a child, did he run all over the world like Xuan'er, and he didn't stop?" Zhou Jingming looked at Zhou Yixuan, who was running upstairs and downstairs, and asked with his head tilted.
It is said that nephews are like uncles, Zhou Jingming remembered that he was quite quiet when he was a child, and Zhou Yixuan's personality was mostly with He Yingxun.
"It seems to be true, Daxun was beaten by his parents a lot because he was naughty when he was a child. He Yingqing thought about it seriously and smiled all of a sudden.
When I think of the past, I always smile unconsciously.
"I think Xuan'er will definitely be restless when he grows up, and I don't know which girl can lower him, it's really sad. ”
"How can anyone say this about your own son like you? He Yingqing glanced at him, "I think Xuan'er is very well-behaved, if anyone can marry our Xuan'er, it will be her blessing." ”
"Wife, I feel like I'm really old. ”
"The two children are so old, can they not be old, if we are not old, how can the children grow up. ”
