There were fifteen or sixteen people seated in the conference room, and the first one was a middle-aged man with a haircut and half-white hair standing on the door of his head like a steel needle, he was the only ministerial-level cadre on the scene, from the newly formed Hailan Provincial Party Committee, named Liao Zhengxiong.

Presiding over the meeting was a thin young man, who still had a beard, black and thin, like an ape-man who had not yet evolved.

"Liao?"

"Let's get straight to the point. ”

As the so-called relationship is born from the heart, from a person's face, most of them can see a person's basic character, this Minister Liao obviously belongs to the kind of master who can do practical things and act resolutely.

"Then our meeting officially began, the Party Central Committee in order to support our Hailan Province, gave a lot of favorable policies, in view of our Hailan people have been yearning for the automobile industry, specially issued two automobile manufacturing licenses, a government decided to keep for its own use, personally set up an automobile manufacturing plant, and the order is ready to be awarded to people with lofty ideals in the society, intended to form a good competition between the two economic systems, mutual assistance and mutual benefit. After several months of preliminary review, three candidates were finally born, and I would like to invite these three to talk about their respective plans, as well as specific implementation steps and investment budgets. ”

After the host finished speaking, his eyes swept over Li Yadong and the others.

"Elders first. Li Yadong smiled.

"I'm okay with that. Lu Tao shrugged.

Hu Shengbiao didn't shirk either, and stood up with a big grin, "I want to build a car, and everyone knows it, so don't look at me as the oldest, but my enthusiasm and spirit are no worse than these two juniors." My advantages are also obvious, the production base of 200 acres has been prepared for a long time, I have produced motorcycles before, and I have experience in machinery manufacturing. If the government can give me this certificate, I can save a lot of time compared to the two postnators just by preparing for the preliminary work......"

I interrupted. Minister Liao raised his hand and asked, "We don't know what level your factory can reach in the field of machinery production, but the automobile process is very complex, aside from your existing foundation, how long do you think it will take to get the first mass-produced car off the assembly line?"

Hu Shengbiao raised an index finger and said, "One year." I have some channels in Japan, the engine and gearbox, the two core components, can be imported from Japan, and the domestic market of other auto parts can basically be satisfied, what we need to do is assembly and commissioning, so one year is completely enough. ”

After hearing this, Minister Liao nodded subconsciously and asked again, "Tell me about your mass production scale." ”

There is a subtext in this sentence, that is, how much money you can put into it, after all, it is to build a car a day, and to build a hundred or a hundred. But that is a world of difference for the development of the sea blue economy.

"It's a gradual process, with my current financial strength, it is not a problem to produce 100 cars a month in the early stage, and as the factory grows, this number will continue to rise, and my plan is to make the factory produce more than 3,000 units a year within three years. ”

"3,000 units a year?"

"If we can really reach this scale in three years, it is really not a small amount. ”

"Yes, it is said that the current annual output of the Hai brand car is only five or six thousand units. ”

When the leaders at the meeting heard him say this, they nodded one after another, and they did not hesitate to praise, and it is indeed commendable that a private entrepreneur can have such ambitions.

The reaction of the leaders also made Hu Shengbiao, who originally had little confidence, rekindle a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Maybe...... Is it because he thinks too darkly of the government?

After all, the newly formed Hailan government has come to a big change.

However, not long after the little hope in his heart was born, he was poured with cold water on his head.

"Annual output of 3,000 units......?"

Lu Tao stood up with a smile, "With all due respect, if the government really gave Mr. Hu the "Automobile Manufacturing License", it would be very good to be able to build 300 cars a year." ”

"You...... What do you mean?" Hu Shengbiao was furious, and the buttocks that had just sat down were raised again.

"Mr. Hu, don't be angry, I'm just telling the truth. Lu Tao said with a smile: "You can't help but imagine the automobile manufacturing industry is too simple, do you really think that if you buy all the parts and pieces together, it will be a car?"

"I ......" Hu Shengbiao was suddenly a little speechless, because he really thought so.

That's how he built motorcycles before, he can run as well.

Of course, it turns out that there are a lot of small problems.

But then he suddenly heard about the car manufacturing license, and he didn't have the heart to continue to ride on the motorcycle. He felt that if he was given a certain amount of time, he could still solve most of the problems and build a good motorcycle.

In that case, isn't it the same to build a car?

"Mr. Hu is the richest man in Hailan, I don't doubt your financial ability, and I believe that you have the strength to make 100 cars a month, but IMHO, manufacturing capacity and market sales are two concepts. ”

"You mean I can't sell the car I built?" Hu Shengbiao glared angrily.

However, Lu Tao was not afraid of him, and said: "Exactly." ”

"That's it!"

When Hu Shengbiao was about to continue fighting, Minister Liao frowned and interrupted him, "You sit down first." Lu Tao, tell me what you think. ”

"Okay, Liao. Lu Tao instantly put on a sincere smile, bowed slightly, and then continued: "As Liao Bu just said, the automobile process is very complicated, far more than just a patchwork, so even if you can build a car, it will definitely not be useful." I'll give you a very simple example, the problem of matching the engine and the gearbox is a worldwide problem. ”

He paused when he said this, turned his head to look at Hu Shengbiao, and said, "I want to ask Mr. Hu a question." ”

Say. Hu Shengbiao clasped his hands on his chest, and he couldn't see his joy and anger in reply.

"If you combine Toyota's state-of-the-art 4AGE four-cylinder inline engine with Aisin's newly developed world-leading five-speed automatic transmission. Mr. Hu thinks, is this combination good?"

"Isn't this nonsense, of course!" Hu Shengbiao handed him a "caring for the mentally handicapped" look.

"Really?" Lu Tao smiled, didn't speak, and waved his hand to his side.

The blonde and blue-eyed, well-looking "female secretary" understood, stood up at the right time, took out a stack of materials from the brown briefcase she was carrying, and handed out a copy to everyone present in turn, even Li Yadong had a share.

Li Yadong glanced at it a little, and knew that Lu Tao was really prepared, and the preparation was not sufficient.

This is a Chinese translation of a report from an authoritative Japanese automobile magazine, which introduces in detail a high-tech automotive technology of Japanese benzene - 5AT transmission.

As we all know, in the 100-year history of the birth of the car, the reputation of the transmission has been inferior to the engine, and most of the time, the development of the transmission is far behind the start, the automatic transmission from two to three speeds, it took more than ten years, and then from three to four speeds, also experienced more than ten years.

At the end of the 80s of the twentieth century, when the 4AT had been stagnant for a long time, the Japanese benzene car took the lead in using the 5AT gearbox.

It was not until 2002 that the subsequent 6AT technology was jointly developed by ZF and BM.

In this information, there is an introduction to the performance of this 5AT transmission, as well as the data after matching with several current hot engines.

Two of these figures illustrate the fact that, in a way, they even illustrate a philosophy that 11 does not necessarily equal 2, but may also equal 1.5.

The best engine, paired with the most advanced transmission, actually measures the torque and smoothness, but it is not as good as using the old partner in the past - the same engine, paired with a 4AT gearbox.

"This ......" After reading the information, the room full of people looked at each other.

Where can they understand the truth of this, almost all of them are the same as Hu Shengbiao, and take it for granted that two good things are put together, and they are naturally better than better.

Except for Lu Tao, only Li Yadong smiled indifferently, otherwise how can it be said that knowledge is the ladder of human progress. Although he didn't think so in his heart, sometimes looking at this era from the perspective of a future person, he did have the feeling that intellectuals were looking at illiteracy.

"I asked a professor at Sun Yat-sen University to translate this document, and I don't know Japanese. Lu Tao smiled.

The subtext is: you can't fake it.

"And the reason why I took it out is to tell you that it is not a good idea to put such a precious manufacturing license in the hands of a person who is blind to automotive technology. ”

This guy is indeed not afraid of Hu Shengbiao at all, and he can be regarded as openly tough.

And Hu Shengbiao's hand holding the paper shook slightly, knowing that he was basically out.

"Just now, Liao Bu instructed me to tell me what I think, and my thoughts are actually not complicated. Limited by the current overall industrial level in China, the core components of a car, like our private capital, can only rely on imports, and my financial strength in this area is not inferior to Mr. Hu, I recently went to the United States, raised five million US dollars from a friend, I believe it is better to use the money in Mr. Hu's hands......"

"Five million dollars?!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed shocked expressions, Rao is everyone present knows that Hu Shengbiao's net worth must exceed 10 million, but even if his net worth reaches 20 million yuan, it is still less shocking than 5 million US dollars.

After all, foreign exchange in these years is too difficult to do!

Some leaders who know a lot about his family background also showed relieved expressions. The so-called "manufacturable materials" probably refer to this kind of people.

After studying abroad, you can still accumulate such a network, which is amazing.

Even getting his father to raise five million dollars was not an easy task.

"And that's not all. ”

Lu Tao took in the expressions of the leaders present, and smiled a little proudly, the problem of funds has been used by these old guys to talk about things, now see what else do you have to say?

"In addition to abundant funds, I also invited five of my classmates, all of whom are high-achieving students majoring in mechanical engineering, to form a team to focus on the tuning of the overall process of the car, and I believe that we can build a good car with reliable quality and market recognition. ”

Lu Tao has a master's degree in mechanical engineering, and his classmates are naturally not far behind.

As soon as they heard that there were international talents about to settle in Hailan, the leaders present all felt a sense of honor, and they were not stingy with smiles on their faces.

"Liaobu, I personally think that Lu Tao is fully qualified to get this license, with both funds and talent reserves, which is very in line with our standards. ”

"Yes, the strength in all aspects is not bad, I think it is most appropriate to hand over this big business to him. ”

“……”

Even some leaders began to help him speak, including Minister Liao, who nodded with a smile, looking a little moved.

What the heck?

Li Yadong suddenly felt ignored.

This is unbearable!

"Guys, have you forgotten that there's another candidate?" he smiled as he stood up.

"You?"
