In China, how many private entrepreneurs engaged in automobiles have entered the vehicle industry from the very beginning? Basically, they have accumulated a certain amount of funds in other industries before slowly transferring their core business to the vehicle field.

Like Zhou Jingming, because he has the aura of a "reborn" on his head and has information resources that are not available in this era, he has just worked for more than two years, and he can obtain 20 million funds by relying on a patent for direct injection in the cylinder, and at the starting point, he has actually left many people far behind.

So now it seems that whether it is Geely's Li Shufu, or BYD's Wang Chuanfu, or Zotye, who is ridiculed as a "luxury car porter", these people must have encountered many more difficulties than Zhou Jingming when they decided to enter the automotive industry.

So those who are dismissive and scoff at domestic cars, should they think differently and change their positions to themselves, can they really make domestic cars take off?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jingming felt that there was nothing to complain about.

"Then are you planning to build this wind tunnel laboratory in Shencheng?" Su Wangting then asked.

"Hmm. Zhou Jingming nodded, "After I go back this time, I will start preparing for this matter, and the construction of the laboratory and the procurement of related equipment are also planned to be in accordance with the latest European standards." ”

In the future, Zhou Jingming will use Shencheng as his R&D center in China to lay out, so at this stage, Zhou Jingming will let all important equipment settle in Shencheng.

As for the specific location of the wind tunnel laboratory, Zhou Jingming plans to put it in the future innovation studio, as long as the original production workshop and heat treatment workshop are demolished, only the dormitory and canteen are retained, and the remaining space is used to build a one-to-five scale wind tunnel laboratory, which is definitely more than enough.

After spending the night at Runzhou Institute of Technology, Zhou Jingming rushed back to Shencheng the next day.

The construction of the wind tunnel laboratory still needs to be reported to the relevant departments, and the construction can only be started after obtaining approval, but after all, this is a good project conducive to the development of the automobile industry in Shencheng, after tasting the benefits of the automobile industry to economic development, the Shencheng city government also quickly approved Zhou Jingming's application.

Now that the project has been approved, the next thing Zhou Jingming has to do is to contact the professionals in the wind tunnel laboratory and entrust them with full responsibility for the project.

Because the wind tunnel laboratory to be built this time, Zhou Jingming came completely according to European standards, so the members of the team are also from Europe, and most of them are Germans, and Zhou Jingming also uses Bosch as an intermediary to help contact these professionals.

The design team of the wind tunnel laboratory has lived in the dormitory of the innovation studio since then, and before these people arrived, Zhou Jingming had already found someone to demolish all the useless buildings in the factory area, and only after the team gave a technical plan, the construction could be officially carried out.

The wind tunnel laboratory is mainly composed of three parts: the cave, the drive system and the measurement and control system, and the construction of the cave must be responsible for the domestic construction team, but the purchase and installation of the drive system and the measurement and control system must be controlled by a professional team, otherwise, Zhou Jingming does not need to spend money to hire foreigners to be responsible for this project.

In addition to regular progress checks and acceptances, Zhou Jingming will not interfere in the rest of the laboratory construction, after all, he only knows how to use the wind tunnel laboratory, as for the construction, he knows very little, and this kind of thing cannot be left to the professional team.

According to Zhou Jingming's expectations, if the construction of the wind tunnel laboratory starts at the beginning of next year, it will not be completely completed until the end of the next year, that is, the wind tunnel laboratory will not be put into use until 1987 at the earliest.

In order to make the design team of the laboratory have a better working environment, Zhou Jingming and Wang Yuanchao simply moved out of the studio, Zhou Jingming still lives in the car factory, and Wang Yuanchao is arranged in the Xunming Gear Factory, anyway, Wang Yuanchao only temporarily lives there, because once the experimental conditions of direct injection in the cylinder at Bosch are ready, Zhou Jingming will let Wang Yuanchao stay at Bosch to follow up the test progress of direct injection in the cylinder.

After arranging the construction of the wind tunnel laboratory, during this time, Zhou Jingming concentrated on staying in the car factory, busy with the things entrusted by Chen Dongsheng, that is, the project about the replacement of Hongqi cars.

The original Hongqi sedan was modeled after Chrysler's car, by disassembling each part, and then hand-mapping and manufacturing, so whether it is the shape of the car, or the power and equipment, it is almost exactly the same as Chrysler.

From the advent of the first Hongqi car in 1958 to the present in 1984, in the past 20 years, Hongqi car has experienced changes in these models such as 2 and CA773, but because of high fuel consumption, high cost and low cost performance, Hongqi car has been discontinued as early as 1981, and in more than 20 years, the output of Hongqi car is only 1500 units.

The reason why Chen Dongsheng is in a hurry to replace the Hongqi car is that on the one hand, because of the discontinuation of the Hongqi car, FAW needs to change, and on the other hand, the Hongqi car is China's national car, and Chen Dongsheng can't bear to watch this car disappear on the stage of history.

In fact, if according to the normal historical process, Chen Dongsheng's Hongqi car replacement project led this time did not succeed, until the nineties, FAW cooperated with foreign car manufacturers, and took the Audi 100 as the prototype to create the Hongqi 98 (later called "Hongqi Mingshi") with the same appearance as the Audi 100.

Later, it successively developed models such as Dahongqi CA7460, Century Star, and HQ300. However, the most familiar Hongqi model should be the Hongqi HQE at the 60th anniversary of the National Day parade.

However, a cruel fact is that no matter how Hongqi sedan is "tossed", its sales in the market can only be described as "bleak", and consumers' brand recognition of Hongqi sedan is always not high, which is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently in front of FAW Group.

Chen Dongsheng asked Zhou Jingming to do the work this time, in fact, the identity of a technical consultant, because the main design work is still in charge of FAW engineers, Zhou Jingming is nothing more than to give suggestions on some details, but Zhou Jingming's positioning for his work this time, but he does not want to be limited to the technical consultant.

Since you want to replace the Hongqi car, it is best to solve the problem of low market recognition of the Hongqi car once and for all, so that this "national car" can show its due charm, rather than tossing until Zhou Jingming is reborn, and there is not much change.

It took nearly a week for Zhou Jingming to finally prepare materials for the replacement of Hongqi cars, and then on October 16, he got on the train to FAW.
