Chapter 548: The Most Important Thing
Zhang Shuxian also knew that persuasion was useless, so he said: "Then so be it." But don't worry, they won't dare to do anything to you unless they're really crazy. ”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinwei found that Liao Xuemei's eyes were red, and she looked at herself gratefully, so she smiled and said, "You are a little self-inflicted, I don't say this for you." I have my bottom line as a human being. ”
Liao Xuemei choked up and said, "No matter what, I thank you." ”
As they spoke, the airport attendant came over and asked them to board the plane.
The reason why Jiang Xinwei returned to Zi'an this time was because there were three things waiting for him to make a decision, yes, there were as many as three: First, the negotiation expert group of Qualcomm on the CDMA98 standard returned here to negotiate with the technical experts of Feixun Group after Christmas and New Year's Day in the United States, and the two sides fell into the previous quarrel. Jiang Xinwei came back in order to sort out the results of their quarrel during this period of time, and to allocate their respective research areas with the US side.
The second thing is that the chip manufacturing production line mentioned by Zhang Shuxian on the phone just now, the bidding has come to an end, and the world's major lithography machine and chip manufacturing production line manufacturers have submitted bids as required. Jiang Xinwei came back to check the bidding and guide the negotiators on how to negotiate with foreign manufacturers in order to better obtain the relevant technology of these manufacturers.
The third thing is a happy and depressing thing, that is, the product battle for the Tuning Automobile Engine Research Institute. After the establishment of the Automobile Engine Research Institute, this research institute combined many engine experts from the former Soviet Union and Italy, as well as Huaxia itself. It would have been a good thing to have more experts, but there is a saying that if there are more captains, there will be more capsized. What this means is that if there are more people at the helm of a ship, not only will it not make the ship go fast, but it may cause the ship to spin around or even capsize.
Now this engine research institute is like this.
Originally, Jiang Xinwei was full of high hopes for this research institute that acquired Shuangzhou Power Machinery Factory, and also believed what Zhang Gang said, he believed that it was definitely a piece of cake for the research institute that concentrated engine experts from the three countries to develop an ordinary engine, and success was inevitable, but it was just a matter of time.
Moreover, in order to enrich the strength of this research institute, he also transferred Zhang Huan, a "parallel engineering" management expert, to manage it. Jiang Xinwei even faintly hoped that they could develop an engine that surprised the world and had excellent performance, which could not only quickly occupy the automobile engine market, but also use it to develop one or even a number of cars.
However, after spending more than 400 million yuan to acquire Shuangzhou Power Machinery Factory, and directly allocating tens of millions of yuan to the research institute, not only did not quickly develop the engine, but formed three design groups with different concepts, which did not buy each other, and each took out their own design of the engine drawings to compete for trial production, and constantly attacked others.
Zhang Huan, as the general manager, although proficient in management, if the trial production of which engine, he can arrange technical personnel to carry out trial production and testing and then improve and upgrade, but he does not have the technical ability to judge which of the three engines is good, and he does not know how to choose for a while, so he has to hand over the contradiction and let Jiang Xinwei judge and decide.
The first of the three groups with different ideas is the Soviet-style group, which is dominated by experts from the former Soviet Union, and they pursue stability, reliability, and durability. I don't pay much attention to appearance and refinement, and there are also Chinese experts inside.
The second group is led by Italian experts, who can be said to be European. They are looking for sophistication, stability and versatility, and there are also Chinese experts who follow them.
And the third group is the original Shuangzhou City Power Machinery Factory of the Chinese experts, their style is a bit chaotic, because this machinery factory has not only introduced German technology, but also introduced Eastern European Czech and Hungarian technology, but also introduced American technology, what makes Jiang Xinwei amused is that this group not only includes Chinese experts, but also former Soviet experts and Italian experts.
After listening to Zhang Huan's complaints to the experts, Jiang Xinwei felt a headache before he went to this research institute, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Jiang Xinwei studied cars because of buying a car in his previous life, and he also carefully studied the engine of his own car, but he was not an expert at all.
He can sketch the principle and explain the principle to the point, but he can't do anything about the parameters and the requirements for the material.
However, no matter how much headache he has, he has to go, who calls him the boss? Zhang Huan is a part-time worker, he can hand over the contradictions when he encounters problems, Jiang Xinwei is the last stop, and no one can take over his contradictions to solve.
Another reason why he had to go was that this research institute and the associated power machinery factory cost him too much money, more than 400 million, and he was really reluctant to give up like this, and his heart ached: "I can't think about it, in order to realize the domestic car dream in my heart, I resolutely invested so much, and now it's a tragedy, right?"
Among the three things, the most urgent is the car engine, the other two things he only needs to read some documents, ask the person in charge, and then say his own opinions, after all, the vast majority of the results of the CDMA98 standard have been determined, and what is being done now is only some corners and corners of the competition with the Americans. As for the remaining research topics in it, Jiang Xinwei doesn't care who has more and who has less. Because Jiang Xinwei has hole cards in his heart, he can come up with scientific research results at any time when he is reborn, and no matter how many tasks he assigns, it is not difficult for him.
Seriously, he'd rather Qualcomm and Motorola split some of their company's research topics. In this way, not only can we let our technical personnel and experts receive more training, train more high-level scientific researchers, and make more talents and technical reserves for the next generation of digital mobile communication standards, but also can bargain with the two American companies with many topics and tasks, get more wireless communication technology from them, and make up for the shortcomings of Feixun Group in this regard.
It's just that he can't say to those two companies now, you give me more topics, I'm not afraid of being tired. If you say so, you are equivalent to handing over your hole cards, and the researchers on your side will definitely hate you to death.
As for the chip manufacturing production line, there is no need for Jiang Xinwei to worry too much, anyway, the bidding documents have been reviewed by themselves, and the bids of those foreign manufacturers have been submitted, and they or in person according to the suggestions of the subordinates in charge of bidding will talk to foreign manufacturers one by one, and ask them to transfer more core technologies, or let their subordinates negotiate according to the bids. Anyway, manufacturers who don't transfer technology don't let them get a share.
Feixun Group is Party A, the initiative is in its own hands, even a fool will not break the cards, he just came to encourage his subordinates and support them. When you encounter a compromise in the negotiation, you can give them an idea.
In business negotiations, there is no such thing as uncompromise, it depends on whether the compromise can be exchanged for what you need.
Now his main focus is on the research and development of automobile engines, which he thought did not need to worry about at all, and the research institute that he thought was the easiest to produce scientific and technological achievements has become a big problem in his heart.
Rushing to the research institute, Jiang Xinwei immediately called Zhang Huan to inquire about the situation.
Seeing that the boss took time out of his busy schedule to solve the problem for himself, Zhang Huan was very embarrassed and ashamed, and seriously introduced the situation of the three small groups in the current research institute, focusing on the characteristics of the engines they designed.
Zhang Huan said very distressedly: "These three engines have their own advantages, and I am really reluctant to cut which one." ”
Jiang Xinxu asked: "From what you know, how do these three engines compare with the engines on the market?"
Zhang Huan said: "There are no physical objects yet, only drawings. Judging from the drawings and technical analysis, these three engines are good, and they are definitely stronger than domestic ones. However, the engine displacement of the Soviet-style group is large, the power is large, the control is lacking, the intelligent control is almost none, the manufacturing is relatively simple, and it is very suitable for the production of this engine machinery factory that we acquired, as long as the trial production is successful, it can be transferred to mass production almost immediately, without more investment. The engine displacement of the European group is smaller, but the fuel consumption is also small, the engine is lightweight, the intelligent control is more, and the manufacturing is relatively complex, and it is necessary to invest a large amount of money to modify the existing production line, and even to purchase a better engine production line. ”
He paused and said, "As for the engine that our own experts mainly designed, the performance is somewhere in between, and as long as the production line is modified and upgraded, the engine can also be mass-produced." ”
Jiang Xinwei said very understandingly: "No wonder you don't know how to choose. However, things have to have a result, and they can't be delayed, so if I just want you to get a result now, what will you do?"
Zhang Huan smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to make up my mind, but I don't know your family background." I don't know how determined you are, that's why I invited you to come. ”
Jiang Xinwei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You have such great ambitions, but is this good?"
Zhang Huan smiled embarrassedly and said: "I think the engine on the Italian team's side represents the direction of the engine, although the engine they designed this time may not be a good engine, but small displacement, light weight, intelligent control, is definitely the mainstream of the future." So, I want to ...... If you have a lot of money, we'll focus on that. However, the Soviet-style engine is not without merit, it is reliable, durable, and relatively simple to manufacture, and it is also good to use the engine for engineering vehicles, agricultural vehicles, ships, etc. ”
