Because the air ticket to return to China needs to be ordered uniformly, if Zhou Jingming needs to delay his return to China, Li Mingzhe also needs to make a written explanation to the Ministry of Machinery and the Economic Commission, otherwise it is not allowed to easily let the technical personnel stay abroad.

Therefore, if Zhou Jingming wants to delay his return to China, Li Mingzhe must ask clearly.

"Bosch is Germany's largest supplier of automotive technology, covering large and small technologies in automobiles, such as chassis control systems, gasoline and diesel systems, and automotive electronic drives. Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued:

"After the introduction of the Santana model into China, the first thing is naturally localization, but after the localization, it is necessary to consider the replacement of the Santana and improve the various performance of the Santana, which is very helpful if it can reach a cooperation with Bosch, which is very helpful for the improvement of the performance of the car later. ”

"So, you want to go to Stuttgart this time, mainly to negotiate cooperation with Bosch?" asked Lee Ming-che.

"It's a bit too early to talk about cooperation, after all, Santana has not yet been officially introduced into China, and the localization process cannot be completed by relying on foreign suppliers, but also by our own local parts suppliers. I went to Bosch this time to see what new technologies their company can use in the future, and if we can, we can also co-develop certain cutting-edge technologies in automobiles, just as we cooperate with Volkswagen to develop engines. ”

Zhou Jingming Xiong Zhe replied.

Among all the technologies of Bosch, Zhou Jingming is most concerned about gasoline/diesel injection system technology and automotive electronics technology, one is related to the engine, and the other is related to the passive safety of the car, these two technologies will occupy a pivotal position in the development of future automobiles.

In particular, the ESP (Electronic Body Stability System), which was mass-produced in the 90s, pushed the passive safety of the car to a new level and became the standard configuration of almost every car in the future.

Zhou Jingming doesn't want much of it, and since he wants to try his best to promote the joint development of the VR6 engine with Volkswagen, it is only natural that the technology of the gasoline injection system should be learned from Bosch.

As for the more high-end automotive electronics technology, Zhou Jingming thought that it would not be too late to discuss cooperation with Bosch after the development of the VR6 engine was completed.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the development of the automobile industry must be taken step by step.

Li Mingzhe thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll stay with you." When the time comes, I will visit Bosch with you in Stuttgart. ”

Zhou Jingming immediately felt a little embarrassed, "Director Li, you don't have to stay with me, I'll stay alone for two more days at most, and then I......'ll go back."

Li Mingzhe waved his hand and signaled Zhou Jingming not to say anything more, "I naturally have my own considerations when I stay, you go to Stuttgart alone, you are not familiar with the place, and you have no identity, why is the Bosch company willing to meet you? If you are just an ordinary citizen, then I think you can't even see the core technology of Bosch." ”

Zhou Jingming scratched his head embarrassedly, what Li Mingzhe said was still very reasonable, if he just went to Stuttgart alone, he might not be able to enter the headquarters building of Bosch Company.

"But if I go with you, no matter what, my identity is here, I don't believe it, we have such a big market in China, and Bosch doesn't want to come in and get a piece of the pie? Lee Ming-che continued.

"I understand what Director Li means, but I feel that I can't go away, and I have to trouble you to stay in Germany with me for a few more days. Zhou Jingming said apologetically.

Even you can sacrifice your time for the development of China's automobile industry, and I, as the person in charge of the competent department, should be all the more devoted to this. What are you saying sorry to me? I should say I'm sorry!" Lee Ming-che said with a smile.

Zhou Jingming scratched his head and did not answer.

"Alright, that's it. Tomorrow I will contact the comrades at the consulate in Stuttgart, and it will be more convenient for them to match us up when the time comes. ”

Since Li Mingzhe said so, Zhou Jingming didn't say much, and having him with him would indeed save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Zhou Jingming told Luo Yuzhong about his decision to delay his return to China, and Luo Yuzhong immediately asked with some surprise, "If you don't return to China, is there anything else to do here?"

Zhou Jingming nodded, "Hmm." I would like to visit Bosch, and Mr. Li will come with me then. ”

"Are you going to Bosch?" Luo Yuzhong's eyes flashed, "Can I go with you?" I have long heard that Bosch's automotive service technology is world-class, and I want to feel it. ”

Obviously, Luo Yuzhong knew about Bosch.

"Yes, but you have to talk to Director Li, and he has to agree. Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll tell him tomorrow morning. Luo Yuzhong said with some excitement.

The next morning, Luo Yuzhong went to explain to Li Mingzhe that he also wanted to stay and visit Bosch, Li Mingzhe didn't think about it, so he directly agreed, and at the same time explained the matter to several other people, but the remaining eight people were anxious to return to China and were not willing to continue to stay.

In this way, tomorrow, Zhou Jingming, Luo Yuzhong and Li Mingzhe, as well as the translator Ni Zhihao, will continue to stay and go to Stuttgart, and the remaining eight people will return to China by plane.

After saying this, the group all took the car prepared for them by the consulate to visit the city of Wolfsburg and famous scenic spots, and many people also bought a lot of gifts in the shops in the city, and prepared to bring a little for their relatives and friends when they returned home.

Zhou Jingming is no exception, Xu Guanglu, Zhao Ke and He Yingqing, these people all want to give some gifts when they go back, but fortunately, these people are all cultural people, just buy some pens or something, you don't have to bother to choose.

It wasn't until late afternoon that everyone returned with a full load. After returning to the hotel for a short rest, they went to the farewell dinner prepared by Volkswagen.

The next day, several other people went directly to the airport by car, ready to take a plane back to China, while Zhou Jingming, Li Mingzhe, Luo Yuzhong and others got on the train to Stuttgart, ready to visit Bosch again.
