Chapter 108 Engine Planning

At the headquarters of Kaida Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., in the president's office, Ge Dajun was lying comfortably in the boss's chair, listening to the report of Vice President Fang Jing.

"Since the beginning of this month, Xinsheng has cut almost one-third of its parts business. Now they only make camshafts and crankshafts. By the way, recently they are preparing for the production of engine blocks. ”

"Hmm. Ge Dajun closed his eyes and snorted, "That young man still wants to fight with me, it's too tender!"

"Now we're cutting off his right-hand man and shrinking their business. Then mention cooperation and see if he agrees!"

"We have to let out the news that the market price of relevant engine parts may also fall, and put some pressure on them. ”

"Okay, I'll let someone do it right away. Fang nodded and said.

A week later, in Xinsheng Machinery Industry Laboratory, Du Mingxuan was discussing the research and development direction of economic automobile engines with a group of R&D personnel.

"1.3 to 1.5L engines, this is a little easier to develop. Moreover, it is more in line with the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission for environmental protection and energy saving of automobiles. Zhu Zhixin suggested, "As our first engine product, I think it is best to use this displacement as the standard for research and development." ”

"The 1.6L standard is better! It's better to add turbocharging technology to make a 1.6T engine. Du Mingxuan said, "I read the engine market report, and this standard engine market is relatively broad. ”

Zhu Zhixin's 1.3L refers to the natural aspiration of the engine, while the 1.6T mentioned by Du Mingxuan is a turbocharged engine with a turbocharger installed on the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, which is more powerful.

There are many important parameters of the engine, such as maximum power, maximum torque, maximum torque speed, and so on.

But these are all afterthoughts, to develop a product, the first thing to look at is the sales market.

The golden displacement of engine sales is 1.6L displacement, because it is in the "watershed" of economy cars and intermediate cars, and the two largest market categories need it!

The 1.6L engine has too many competitors, and the various types of technologies are almost the same. At this time, it is more difficult to enter the game, so Du Mingxuan proposed to increase turbocharging technology, turbocharging, many manufacturers have not yet matured technology, just take the opportunity to open the market.

As for engines with larger displacement and higher power, Du Mingxuan doesn't need to come up with them for the time being, after all, who can make such a good engine? Only supercars can afford to use them, but those companies that can produce supercars have their own engine technology, and they will not come to buy engines from a small factory. Unless they can build their own cars, Du Mingxuan may let this product be born.

"What Mr. Du said is also reasonable, but considering the R&D conditions and market competition, I think it is still 1.3L. Low displacement engines with low fuel consumption are best suited for us. Other researchers agree with Zhu.

"And Mr. Du, I want to explain one point. Zhu Zhixin reminded, "The main product of Kaida Automobile Manufacturing Company is the 1.6L automobile engine, and several automobile brands have purchased their engines. They have also researched the 1.6T turbocharged engine, and have launched a more popular product, if we compete with them in this position, it is inevitable that we will be at a disadvantage. ”

When Du Mingxuan heard this reason, he smiled and said nothing. That's what he wants, he wants to compete with Al Qaeda, and it's within the other party's largest market.

"I support Mr. Du's decision. Du Que spoke, although he didn't talk much, but there was no one in the laboratory who didn't admire him. Without him, Du Que's professional knowledge impressed these people, and they are usually called chief engineers.

Naturally, there were no objections to the next, the boss and the chief engineer had decided, and the others just followed the plan.

The automobile engine to be developed by Xinsheng Machinery Industry Laboratory is an engine with a golden displacement of 1.6L as the standard, and a 1.6T turbocharged engine has also been developed.

What they want to achieve is to get the best performance of the engine at the same displacement. Lower fuel consumption, stronger power, better safety, lower failure rates, and lower costs.

After arranging these things, Du Mingxuan received a call from Ge Dajun again.

"Brother Du, it's been a few days since I said goodbye last time. Ge Dajun said something that seemed to be close, "Brother Du is doing lately?"

"Okay, Mr. Ge is so busy, there should be something wrong with calling me, right?" Du Mingxuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and asked directly.

"Haha, Brother Du's temper is still so straight. Ge Dajun laughed twice and said, "I don't have anything else to do. It's the last time I ate, and I feel like I'm still unsatisfied. Why don't we find a time to make another appointment? Or will I do the east, and this time I will change places!"

"No, I've been busy lately. Now that he has found out Ge Dajun's intentions, he will not waste any more time on dinner.

"It's good to be busy, busy means good business!" Congratulations to Brother Du!" Ge Dajun said hypocritically, "Brother hasn't had a good time recently! The price of this auto parts has been falling, and the profits from the decline are gone! The market is not good! We can still top it up, and your small factory will be in difficulty." I heard that your business has shrunk a lot, can you help?"

Du Mingxuan heard it, this is a cat crying mouse - fake compassion!

Ge Dajun continued: "How about it? What I said last time, have you thought about it? My plan has been made, let's cooperate to fight the world and definitely make money!"

"If you're worried about risk. Brother will suffer a little bit more, at a fixed price, you can say as much as you want! Just those few technologies, 300 million, 500 million, you can drive!"

"I'll start by saying good, if you miss this village, you won't have this store. In the future, it will be difficult to sell these technologies for money!"

"It's really worrying to you!" Du Mingxuan chuckled, "But I have no plans to sell." I'd like to buy something, and we want to make car engines, so if you'd like to, why don't you send a few technicians to guide you?"

On the other end of the phone, Ge Dajun showed a sneering expression, this kid is still so hard, he still wants to make an engine? Do they have that strength?

"Haha, it's easy to say. After Ge Dajun finished speaking, he casually found an excuse and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Ge, how is it?" next to Ge Dajun, Vice President Fang Jing asked.

"This kid has a hard mouth! he still wants to grab the market with us!" Ge Dajun showed a trace of ruthlessness in the corner of his eyes, "I could make Xinsheng bankrupt back then, and I still can!"

"Is it all arranged?" he asked Fang Jing.

"It's arranged. Rest assured, the results should be coming soon. Fang Jing replied.
