Chapter 0298 - Preparing the Exhibits

Li Mingzhe expressed his very much agreement with Zhou Jingming's proposal to organize the auto show, immediately agreed to Zhou Jingming's proposal, and promised to strive for all the resources he needed to promote the success of the auto show.

Director Li agreed. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingming said happily to Xu Guanglu.

"And when are you going to hold this auto show?"

"In July. Zhou Jingming replied, "Leave four months for us to prepare for the things we need before the auto show, it should be enough." ”

If you want to successfully hold an auto show, the Shencheng city government must get through the relationship, the layout of the exhibition hall, the invitation of exhibitors, and the publicity of the auto show, all of which need to be carefully prepared.

Especially the exhibitors, the number and quality of exhibitors will determine whether the auto show can attract the masses to visit.

"Then what preparations do we need to make on our side? Or can we just send a few Santana off the assembly line to participate in the exhibition when the time comes?" asked Xu Guanglu. Auto shows are a new thing for him after all, and he doesn't understand the relevant rules.

"The show car must be specially prepared, whether it is the appearance or performance to be as perfect as possible, the car produced by the large line, more or less there will be flaws, the show car, I will make specific arrangements at that time. Zhou Jingming paused and continued, "In addition to the current production configuration, I also want to take this opportunity to launch a new Santana at this auto show!"

"Do you want to replace Santana?" Xu Guanglu was shocked and hurriedly asked. Santana has just been put into production for a few months, and Zhou Jingming wants to make such a big change?

"Of course not. Zhou Jingming shook his head with a smile, "Four months, where is the time to replace the mulberry car, I just want to add a configuration to the Santana engine, Lao Luo is responsible for the engine localization project team, didn't develop two engines, one is in the form of carburetor injection, the other is in the form of single-point EFI, I want to show a single-point EFI engine in the auto show." ”

Although the carburetor still occupies a dominant position, Zhou Jingming still wants to gradually replace the carburetor injection with electronic injection, and then slowly transition from electronic injection to direct injection in the cylinder. In addition, different consumer groups also have different needs for the configuration of vehicles, and adding a single-point EFI engine configuration is also conducive to opening up a larger market.

"It turned out that it was just a change of engine!" Xu Guanglu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Zhou Jingming wanted to replace Santana now.

"But even if it's a different engine, it's not that easy, right?" Xu Guanglu then asked.

Zhou Jingming nodded, "Compared with carburetor injection, there is still a big difference in structure between single-point EFI, and the pipeline specifications in the engine compartment need to be readjusted, and the front condenser and air conditioning compressor should also be improved accordingly." But that's enough time for four months. ”

"Okay, what do you need the factory to cooperate with you, even if you mention it, I believe that SAIC will definitely support you." Xu Guanglu replied.

After finalizing these things, Zhou Jingming found Luo Yuzhong, who was still in Shencheng that afternoon, although the localization of the engine of the mulberry car was over, but the development of VR6 had not been completed, so Luo Yuzhong had also stayed in Shencheng.

After explaining the reason for the matter to Luo Yuzhong, Luo Yuzhong was not ambiguous, and immediately agreed to help Zhou Jingming handle the engine, although there is no mass production level in China, but there is no problem in assembling one or two engines.

The next afternoon, he came to Shencheng, and then took Zhou Jingming to take down all the approval documents, after all, it is conducive to economic development, and the Shencheng government has no reason not to agree to the bid for this auto show.

After getting all the administrative permits, Zhou Jingming also prepared for the planning of the auto show for the first time. Although he has participated in many international auto shows, Zhou Jingming is honestly planning a complete auto show for the first time, so it is not easy.

The planning of the first draft, Zhou Jingming didn't even send it to Li Mingzhe, so he vetoed it himself. Then came the second draft, the third draft......

It took a week for Zhou Jingming to write a satisfactory auto show planning plan, and after handing over the plan to Li Mingzhe, Li Mingzhe arranged personnel to arrange it. And Zhou Jingming also reinvested in the approval of the exhibits of this auto show.

In addition to trying out a new engine for Santana, Zhou Jingming also plans to take the opportunity of this auto show to increase the exposure of Hongqi Dongfeng, a car that has not yet come out, so that when the car is officially released in the later stage, it will be easier to be recognized by the public.

In the early stage, Zhou Jingming had basically completed the body design of Hongqi Dongfeng, and during that time in Germany, with the help of Bosch's equipment, the computer drawing of the body was printed.

It is definitely too late to design a complete car, so Zhou Jingming wants to use a form similar to the "concept car" to show this Hongqi Dongfeng car, as long as the FAW can produce the overall architecture of the car, the specific configuration of the interior, you can ignore it for the time being, anyway, this time is only the debut of Hongqi Dongfeng, Zhou Jingming wants the focus of the spotlight, and there will be more opportunities to show the specific performance of this car in the future.

After making up his mind for such an idea, Zhou Jingming also immediately contacted Chen Dongsheng and explained his idea to him, anyway, FAW is going to participate in this auto show as an exhibitor this time, and Chen Dongsheng also fully agrees with the idea put forward by Zhou Jingming.

In this way, the automobile exhibits that Zhou Jingming is responsible for have been determined, and as for the exhibits of other domestic automobile manufacturers, Zhou Jingming has no right to intervene.

In the following time, Zhou Jingming was busy trying to install a single-point EFI engine for Santana in the workshop, and at the same time making final modifications to the shape of Hongqi Dongfeng, and marking the relevant technical requirements to facilitate the production of prototypes by FAW.

At the same time, the preparatory team of the auto show is also in full swing to arrange the exhibition area, Zhou Jingming will also go there for on-site guidance if he has time, and the municipal government is also ready to publicize at all times.

The time soon entered May, and there were less than two months left before the first Shencheng Auto Show. And Zhou Jingming finally completed the final design of the Hongqi Dongfeng sedan, and sent the technical drawings to FAW, urging Chen Dongsheng to seize the time to install the body of the car and the necessary interior parts in accordance with the requirements on the drawings, so that he could participate in the Shencheng Auto Show normally in July.

In addition, after this period of restructuring and trial installation, the assembly bottleneck of the single-point EFI engine has been slowly solved, and everything is just waiting for the official arrival of the auto show.
