Chapter 0263 Technology Exchange
When Zhou Jingming talked about cooperation with anyone, his attitude was extremely humble, and the Volkswagen and Bosch companies he contacted, although the initial attitude was also very arrogant, but in the follow-up cooperation, the representatives of the two companies were very sincere, on the strength of the company, Volkswagen and Bosch are not inferior to General Motors, Zhou Jingming is wondering why Fleming has such a sense of superiority?
What qualifications does an automobile company that is about to go bankrupt and reorganize in 2008 be called out here?
For a moment, Zhou Jingming was even thinking about whether in 2008, he should buy the bankrupt General Motors into his own subsidiary and make it "China General Motors".
As soon as I heard that Zhou Jingming had applied for an invention patent for in-cylinder direct injection, Fleming's face immediately changed, with the invention patent in hand, if General Motors really wants to use the technology of in-cylinder direct injection, then it really has to spend a huge amount of money to buy it as Zhou Jingming said!
This is not what Fleming, or GM, wants to see.
"Mr. Zhou, I may not have made it clear just now, but the SmallBlock engine is too important for us GM, and I can't promise you the condition you just proposed, or you see how this is, you haven't reached a joint venture project with Volkswagen, and we GM are also willing to cooperate with you like this, what do you think?" Fleming also knew that he was at a disadvantage in negotiations at this time, and quickly put away his previous arrogant attitude and said.
"The joint venture project has risen to the national level, you don't have to tell me this, I'm just talking to you on my own personal behalf now. Zhou Jingming was unmoved.
Fleming was just about to say something more, but Zhou Jingming waved his hand, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fleming, a friend came to me, I have to lose company." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Jingming picked up the plate and walked straight to Ichiro Koizumi, who waved at him, leaving Fleming alone there in a daze.
Zhou Jingming left like this, which means that he completely closed the door to cooperation with General Motors, and in the future, if General Motors wants to use the technology of in-cylinder direct injection, the only way is to spend money to buy it from Zhou Jingming.
"It seems that you and that American friend are not having a good time. After Zhou Jingming sat down, Koizumi Ichiro asked with a smile.
"If it were you, I don't think I would be happy. Zhou Jingming replied.
Koizumi Ichiro looked in the direction of Fleming, "Isn't this a typical American style, just get used to it, over the years, has the United States had less technological blockade of your China?"
"Let's not talk about him, Mr. Koizumi Ichiro called me, shouldn't it be as simple as criticizing Americans together?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.
Although both sides know in their hearts what they want to discuss, only by letting Koizumi Ichiro take the initiative can Zhou Jingming take the initiative in the negotiations.
"Mr. Zhou, do you still remember what you said to me in the morning, unfortunately you said it, our Mazda company is really interested in the in-cylinder direct injection technology you reported, I don't know if there is any possibility of cooperation?" asked Ichiro Koizumi sincerely.
Compared with Fleming's arrogance just now, Koizumi Ichiro's attitude caused Zhou Jingming's extreme comfort, this is the attitude that a person who seeks cooperation should have!
"Since Mr. Koizumi Ichiro remembers what I said, he should also remember that I said something else before I said this, right?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.
"Are you talking about rotary engine technology? Could it be that Mr. Zhou wants to cooperate with us in the field of rotary engines?"
"Of course. Zhou Jingming nodded, "People all over the world know that Mazda's technical level in the field of rotary engine is the absolute first in the world, my conditions are very simple, we can exchange technology, use my in-cylinder direct injection technology, exchange your rotary engine technology." ”
No matter how big the disadvantages of the rotary engine, Zhou Jingming always feels that this kind of engine has a large market, Mazda has studied this area for so many years, if it can be exchanged for this technology, it will definitely be better than Zhou Jingming to develop it from scratch.
"Exchange your in-cylinder direct injection technology for our rotary engine technology?" Koizumi Ichiro suddenly laughed, "With all due respect, isn't Mr. Zhou a little unrealistic?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If you guess correctly, the technology of in-cylinder direct injection is still in the theoretical research stage, and there is no prototype produced, let alone loading verification, right? But our rotary engine has reached the technical level of mass production, I do not question the application value of in-cylinder direct injection, I just think that at this stage, with a technology with only theoretical value, in exchange for our almost mature rotary engine technology, is it not fair?"
Ichiro Koizumi explained with a smile.
Business cooperation is about mutual benefit, at present, in-cylinder direct injection and rotary engine, is indeed not an equal relationship.
"What Mr. Koizumi Ichiro said also makes sense, and I blame it for not making it clear just now. Zhou Jingming nodded, "At this stage, in-cylinder direct injection is indeed not enough to be qualified in exchange for your rotary engine technology, but if in the next few years, we successfully manufacture a prototype of in-cylinder direct injection, and pass the loading verification, and meet the requirements of mass production, at that time, is there any hope for cooperation?"
"If it's really like what you say, then the door of our cooperation with Mazda will always be open to you. Koizumi replied with a smile.
"Good. Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance. Zhou Jingming picked up the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.
"It was a pleasure to work with. Koizumi Ichiro also picked up his wine glass, gently touched Zhou Jingming's wine glass, and responded with the same smile.
If the technology of direct injection in the cylinder can be exchanged for the technology of the rotary engine at the same price, Zhou Jingming feels that this transaction is definitely worth it, which is a win-win cooperation for both parties.
What Zhou Jingming has to do next is to transfer the research of direct injection in the cylinder from the theoretical stage to the experimental verification and prototype manufacturing stage, but with the current domestic industrial base, it is definitely impossible to achieve this purpose, and the only way out is still to seek cooperation with relevant foreign enterprises.
In Zhou Jingming's mind, the most suitable cooperative company is Bosch. Bosch is a leader in the field of engine injection systems, and if it can reach a cooperation agreement with Bosch and with the help of Bosch's complete experimental conditions, Zhou Jingming believes that direct injection in the cylinder will soon be able to turn from theory to reality.
In view of the in-depth cooperation between the domestic side and Bosch in the development of multi-point EFI for VR6 engines, such an opportunity to strengthen the cooperative relationship, Zhou Jingming feels that Bosch has no reason to refuse.
