58. Huge transfer fees
Before the official mass production, the car company will produce a trial car, and conduct various data debugging and crash tests. Since the technical information given by Feng Hao is an improved model based on the mythical GS4, the changes are not big, and there are not many changes, and there is no need to redesign the trial production platform.
This is the result of Gao Weiguo's convening of all the senior and core R&D personnel of the Automotive Research Institute according to the technical data and drawings, but in practice, they found a very frustrating fact: even if it is based on the mythical GS4, there is no need to redesign the platform, and it is difficult to meet the design requirements!
It seems that there are not many changes, not many changes, but every change involves high-precision fields, according to the drawings and technical data, I know how to do it, but I just don't know where to start, or no one dares to package the ticket to ensure that the parts produced are completely consistent with the design requirements.
Hearing the news, Gao Weiguo was about to explode, but he was helpless. This is the gap, the gap in the industrialization of automobiles. Even if it is the same bearing, the bearings produced by foreign first-line car manufacturers are higher than those of domestic car companies in various data.
When the discussion was still pending after a meeting overnight, Gao Weiguo showed the quality of an excellent leader, made a decision on the spot, and made a decision.
Non-core parts and parts that do not involve technical secrecy are outsourced to first-line auto parts manufacturers, who can supply them as soon as possible at any cost. The core parts and parts involved in technical confidentiality are tackled by the Automobile Research Institute and all the brother companies of Wuyang Automobile Group.
With only one goal, the first car was trial-produced as soon as possible at any cost, and the data was verified for follow-up strategic adjustment, the group applied for more resources from the government, and negotiated a technology transfer fee that was enough to satisfy Feng Hao.
But even so, the chassis, engine, and gearbox, which are the three major parts of the car, are still three mountains, which make Gao Weiguo breathless, even with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains. Compared to the chassis and gearbox, the engine, which is the heart of the car, is even more difficult.
As a last resort, Gao Weiguo asked Feng Hao for help.
But to be honest, before making this call, Gao Weiguo made a long psychological preparation. Without him, only ashamed.
Others have given you drawings and technical data, and they will teach you by hand, but you still can't figure it out, isn't this incompetence?
What a shame!
Therefore, Gao Weiguo took the new energy production license as a stepping stone, called Feng Hao's phone, and implicitly expressed the hope that Feng Hao could come to the Automotive Research Institute, and then let Feng Hao participate in the manufacturing accidents and help R&D overcome difficulties.
But Feng Hao is too uncooperative, no matter what, he just doesn't take the bait. In the end, Gao Weiguo pulled down his face and told the truth.
"We can't build an engine. ”
When this sentence was spoken, Gao Weiguo immediately felt very relaxed, and the pressure of more than ten consecutive days was released. But the silence on the other end of the phone, which lasted for three minutes, once again made Gao Weiguo's worry hang.
People did not sign a contract to hand over the technology and drawings comparable to the first-line car companies to you, that is the absolute trust in you, as a result, you have to trouble others, inch by inch, this time, what to say also to give the other party a satisfactory technology transfer fee to make Gao Weiguo feel at ease.
Yes, that's right, people said that the price should be more and give less, you are free. But it's really casual, is that still a human being? Conscience is eaten by dogs!
"Brother Feng, don't worry, as long as you help us solve the problem, every time you sell a car in the future, we will give you a commission of 1% of the total price of the car as a technology transfer fee. Do you think it's okay?"
One percent, don't look at the proportion is small, but multiplied by the sales volume, it can be described as a sky-high price. Especially one percent of the total price of the car, not one percent of the profit. You should know that the total price includes costs and profits!
Take Wuyang Automobile Research Institute as an example, they sell 300,000 cars a year, and the average price of each car is 100,000, which is 30 billion sales. Multiply it by one percent, Feng Hao can get 300 million a year!
If we can really mass-produce the mythical series of cars with the technology and drawings provided by Feng Hao, with their performance comparable to those of millions of luxury cars, the price is 300,000 to 1 million, which is not too much at all! In other words, Feng Hao can get more than a billion or even dozens of billions a year! On average, at least a few hundred million a month!
Just when Gao Weiguo was nervous, wondering if the commission was too small, gritting his teeth and preparing to raise the 1 percent to 1.5 percent, he heard the other party say: "Oh, what are you talking about? I was busy with something just now." ”
“……”
I dare you didn't listen to me carefully just now.
Gao Weiguo's heart was broken.
But this can't be blamed on Feng Hao, when Gao Weiguo proposed that the engine could not be built, Jarvis just finished debugging the equipment of Dijun's laboratory, and needed Feng Hao's cooperation to do the verification work, so he was left to dry for about ten minutes.
After suffering for more than ten minutes, Gao Weiguo broke the jar instead, and said calmly: "We can't build a qualified engine, we need your help." In the future, for every car produced with new technology, you will be given a commission of 2% of the total price for each car sold!"
Gao Weiguo was let out.
Face is not begged, but given by others. If you don't give a 2% commission this time, Gao Weiguo's conscience will not be able to get by!
"Oh, okay, I just happened to be free, I'll go now. ”
Feng Hao didn't care too much about the commission, with his identity and status as the big boss behind the scenes, money was just a number. To paraphrase the bigwigs of another world, earning hundreds of millions a day is painful for him, because he has no interest in money, and what he misses most is the days when he sang in bars every month.
Moreover, Gao Weiguo is very sincere. It can be seen from the things that he helped him solve that this person is the same as his words and deeds.
Take the new energy production license as an example, although Feng Hao provided the production qualification, he conservatively estimated that it would take at least half a year to get it done. Unexpectedly, Gao Weiguo only took ten days to get it done. It's a very draining business.
Favors are like water in a bucket, if you use it, you will have less, and when you run out, you will lose it.
Even if the new energy production license is put aside, the fact that a reliable team recommended by Gao Weiguo allows his daughter to get what she wants is worth Feng Hao's reciprocation.
As for money, the bigwigs who are familiar with Feng Hao know that he never looks at whether the other party has money when making friends, and he doesn't have money anyway.
After making an appointment with Gao Weiguo, Feng Hao got on the mythical GS4, and Jarvis drove the car to Wuyang Automobile Research Institute.
From a certain point of view, Feng Hao's car is the world's first truly unmanned self-driving car. If Gao Weiguo or other first-line car companies know about this, they will definitely squeeze their heads and wave banknotes and scratch their heads, shouting, choose me, choose me, choose me!
As soon as the car arrived at the gate of Wuyang Automobile Research Institute, I saw a row of people standing in Wupress, and there were various slogans welcoming to visit and guide, especially Gao Weiguo, the president of the Automobile Research Institute, who was equivalent to the department level, and waited respectfully. In this meeting, those who don't know think that the central leaders came to inspect it.
Feng Hao swallowed the words "good comrades" back into his stomach, got out of the car calmly, shook hands with Gao Weiguo, who stepped forward quickly and took the initiative to stretch out his hands, and took pictures side by side as a souvenir.
Click, the flash recorded a precious moment in the history of Xia Guo's automobile!
