In the conference room, Mao Zhichun was smiling and introducing the situation of the delegation of Volkswagen Latin America to Zhao Guoyang.

"Brother Guoyang, there is something that you may have guessed. The design of the 'new Santana' model that we have cooperated with Volkswagen Latin America has been completed and has entered the trial production stage. ”

"It should be said that this time our new model can be launched so quickly, in addition to thanking Mr. Ayton of Volkswagen Latin America, you are also indispensable!"

When Mao Zhichun said this, Chen Bin, Minister of Technology, nodded again and again: "Yes, Researcher Zhao." The chairman's words are really to the point. ”

"This time, with the launch of our 'New Santana', many of the design ideas are copied from the structural sketch you drew for us at that time. ”

Chen Bin said with a sigh: "Although it is a structural sketch, Researcher Zhao, your design ideas are definitely of great help, so that we can save at least two months." ”

When Chen Bin said this, Mao Zhichun felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

In Chairman Mao's mind, he was so lucky to know Zhao Guoyang, a young man, and he and Songqi Group.

Not only the launch of the "new Santana" model, but also the young researcher Zhao has played a key role in many other aspects for the Songqi Group.

If Zhao Guoyang was willing to come to work in Songqi Group, Mao Zhichun would have even thought about it a long time ago, and it would be no problem to directly give him the title of vice president of technology.

It's a pity that Zhao Guoyang has already expressed his attitude towards this matter.

He will definitely not leave the Hongda Machinery Factory and come to work here of Songqi Group.

Just when Chairman Mao secretly regretted Zhao Guoyang's decision, on the other hand, Zhao Guoyang's gratitude to Chen Bin was, of course, a few words of humility.

Speaking of which, he didn't put much effort into the design of this "new Santana" model, it was just a momentary burst of inspiration.

As for the products cooperated by Songqi Group and Volkswagen Latin America, what the trial production looks like, Zhao Guoyang is also a little curious.

After Chen Bin opened his mouth and gave Zhao Guoyang a brief introduction to the cooperation with Volkswagen Latin America, he closed his voice.

Sitting across from him was Ayton, who was in charge of product development at Volkswagen Latin America.

After Chen Bin finished speaking, Ayton instructed a deputy director of the product development department to show everyone the concept map of the "new Santana" that has been finalized with pictures, so that everyone can have an understanding.

Of course, Ayton's main focus is still on Zhao Guo.

After hearing too many compliments, he would like to see if this surprisingly high-tech researcher Zhao has any different opinions on the product designed by his team.

Just when everyone was carefully watching these pictures typed out on the projector, Ayton didn't forget to introduce them on the side.

He confidently introduced: "Chairman Mao, Mr. Zhao, this new Santana designed by Volkswagen Latin America is 70mm shorter than the old model, but the wheelbase has been increased by 55mm. ”

"In this way, there is a good margin above the heads of the front and rear passengers, and the rear window glass is larger than the average car, providing a good view. ”

"In addition, although the interior parts of the new model are made of low-cost hard plastic, they are neatly trimmed and have tight gaps, so there is no odor. ”

"In terms of space utilization, it is also well done, and a large number of storage compartments are scattered in all corners, which is very convenient and convenient. ”

After a pause, Ayton introduced: "In addition, our new Santana does not use our TSI+DSG, the star assembly of Volkswagen, but uses the new EA108 series all-aluminum engine, which has a big change in terms of power." ”

"This engine has two displacements, 1.4L and 1.6L, with a maximum power of 66k and 81k respectively, and the emission standard and fuel economy have been comprehensively improved. ”

"The engine returns to the timing belt design, and the timing belt life is twice as long as that of the previous model, reducing the maintenance cost in the later stage. ”

"The 6-speed automatic transmission shifts aggressively and has little frustration, making it difficult for passengers in the car to perceive the ...... of gear shifting."

Listening to this boastful narration of Ayton, Zhao Guoyang was secretly funny in his heart.

After just a short while, he basically understood the core purpose of the other party's design of this "new Santana".

Needless to say, this Ayton is building momentum for their new Volkswagen engine.

Speaking of which, in Zhao Guoyang's memory before his rebirth, the EA108 series all-aluminum engine is still very famous.

This series of engines is the first to feature a cylinder shut-off system on a four-cylinder engine, which has obvious advantages in improving fuel economy.

However, in the early nineties, this EA108 series all-aluminum engine had just been developed, and it had not yet reached the ideal state in terms of stability and reliability.

Under such circumstances, Ayton tried its best to launch this engine in the domestically produced "New Santana" model, and naturally also had the purpose of using Songqi Group as an experimental product.

Seeing that Mao Zhichun, Chen Bin and others looked ignorant and still applauding, Zhao Guoyang coughed and said: "Mr. Ayton, I still know something about this EA108 series all-aluminum engine, I'm afraid, it's not as amazing as you say, right?"

Zhao Guoyang said this sentence in Germanic language, and when the beautiful translator translated Zhao Guoyang's words, the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.

Ayton obviously didn't expect that Zhao Guoyang also knew about his Volkswagen Group's engines, and the smile on his face was a little stiff at the moment.

On the other side, the other two high-level executives of Volkswagen Latin America, Federis and Derek, also looked surprised.

Ayton smiled and reluctantly said: "Mr. Zhao, our EA108 series all-aluminum engine is a new product developed by the engine division of the headquarters last year, I don't know if you really know about it?"

Since he decided to open his voice, of course Zhao Guoyang couldn't stop there.

He nodded calmly and said unhurriedly: "Volkswagen Group's engine technology is very well-known in the world. ”

"Many car companies' engines have traces of imitating your products. As an industrial technician, I naturally have a certain understanding of this......"

Because he had dealt with Zhao Guoyang before, he was very clear about his own character and ability.

Therefore, after he said this, Ayton's heart was sudden, and he knew that the other party was definitely not talking.

However, things have come to this point, and he can only hold on.

Thinking of this, Ayton squeezed out a smile and said: "Then, please ask Researcher Zhao to give a pertinent evaluation of our Volkswagen Group's EA108 series all-aluminum engine!"

Zhao Guoyang sighed, nodded and said calmly: "In fact, compared with the engine used on the old Santana, this EA208 engine still has certain advantages. ”

"This is the first engine in the series to feature a cylinder shut-off system on a four-cylinder engine, which offers a clear advantage in terms of improved fuel economy. ”

"One is EFI and the other is direct injection, and the difference is really big. ”

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's eloquent talk, the faces of the three senior executives of Volkswagen Latin America Company all changed slightly.

As for the middle-level cadres who sat down at their heads, they were even more shocked at Zhao Guoyang.

Compared with the staggering Germans, the people on the side of the Songqi Group are pleasantly surprised.

What is surprising is that there are still some unknown things in the new engine technology proposed by the Germans; happily, researcher Zhao, who has been helping the company a lot, once again stood up and spoke up.

Everyone had all kinds of ideas, but the conference room seemed extremely quiet.

Everyone was holding their breath, ready to listen to Zhao Guoyang's next story.

Looking at the gazes of everyone calmly, Zhao Guoyang raised his hand and said: "Mr. Ayton, for the production platform of this EA108 series all-aluminum engine at your company's headquarters, if I am not mistaken, it should be a transverse engine modular MQB platform, right?"

Ayton was stunned when he heard this, and his gaze at Zhao Guoyang was extremely complicated.

Seeing that he acquiesced to his statement, Zhao Guoyang continued to speak to himself: "As far as I know, the MQB platform uses a large number of lightweight technologies, so that the series of vehicles it supports can greatly reduce the weight of the vehicle under the premise of ensuring comfort and safety, and also save fuel consumption costs for consumers." ”

After Zhao Guoyang's remarks, Ayton was completely dead.

Needless to say, the other party can say the name of its own Volkswagen company's "MQB platform", which must be a very in-depth study of its own engine.

Thinking about this, Ayton also had to pretend to open his voice: "Admire, admire, Mr. Zhao has a deep understanding of the engine technology of our Volkswagen Group, and even I, the technical manager in charge of product development, am a little ashamed......

Speaking of this, Ayton changed his words and said: "It's just that what Mr. Zhao just said is the advantages of our EA108 series all-aluminum engine." ”

"Since they are all advantages, then why did Mr. Zhao question our engine before?"

When Ayton said this, the people from the Songqi Group in the conference room looked at Zhao Guoyang with expectant eyes, hoping to get a detailed explanation from him.

Faced with Ayton's sharp question, Zhao Guoyang didn't care at all.

He said "Hmm" and said, "Mr. Ayton, don't be impatient, listen to me and you slowly!"

"Actually, as far as this engine itself is concerned, it must have been improved in terms of basic technical structure compared to your old Volkswagen EFI engine, which I certainly will not deny. ”

"However, some of its potential flaws have to attract our attention!"

"Flawed?" Hearing these two words, Ayton's face turned pale, obviously thinking of something.

And the nerves of Frederick and Derek beside him were also tense......
