023: Countdown to build a car
For the first time in Zhao Tian's life, he played against a woman, and finally ended up desolate with nowhere to say.
Besides, Wei Junjun, when he was remitting money in the afternoon, he made another call to Zhao Tian.
It is mainly related to the new Weipai model launched by Great Wall Motors.
For Weipai models, the power problem is a big problem.
Not only did the engine need to be improved, but also the gearbox that was equipped with it.
A good gearbox, matched with the engine, is more like Guan Gong with a big knife, Lu Bu with Diao Chan, complementing each other.
As the maiden car of Great Wall Motors to the mid-to-high-end SUV, the Weipai model naturally has nothing to speak of in terms of experience. It can only be slowly groped in practice.
In the small batch of vehicles that are limited to distribution, the market feedback that the problem of the whole vehicle is the power problem.
Now that we have signed a contract with Zhao Tian to provide the engine, it is better to take this opportunity to see if we can win a gearbox.
Even Wei Junjun didn't wait for Zhao Tian to speak, and directly quoted 100 million.
After all, with Zhao Tian's current lack of money, it is more convincing to talk about money.
Zhao Tian is now a lice and is not afraid of biting, and now he owes no less than 20 engines before and after the three major domestic car companies, and he doesn't care about one more gearbox.
Besides, there is still 100 million in the account, no matter how you calculate it, it will not be a loss.
In this way, in the anger with Leng Meiren, Zhao Tian raised enough funds of as much as 1.1 billion.
When Zhao Tian informed Zhuang Yilan that another 100 million funds had been credited to the account, Rao is heart was like Zhuang Yilan, who had not made waves for many years, and was full of surprise in his heart as a new boss.
Even in the financing circles of some financial predators, it is rare to raise billions of funds with just a few words.
Moreover, with Zhuang Yilan's understanding of his new boss, he seems to have no other assets except for this ZT company, and in addition, there is no trace of 'red' or 'green' in his identity.
It's really puzzling.
However, there is one thing Zhuang Yilan's heart that has been put down, that is, he doesn't have to think about the next family for the time being.
The second phase of ZT's automotive production base has already started.
Recently, Lao Chang and Li Minghao have almost returned to the years when Li Minghao purchased machines for the modification factory.
With a large amount of money, the two of them are often responsible for the screening of machinery and equipment, while Li Minghao paves the way for these purchased and will be purchased equipment to ensure that it can be safely transported to ZT's automobile production base.
When the equipment was transported into the production workshop according to the number, Zhao Tian held a list and was extremely excited.
Look at the 3D U-shaped groove beam CNC three-sided punching, robotic plasma splitting machine, shot blasting machine, medium and heavy truck riveting wire, ABB hemming robot and so on.
Zhao Tian instantly closed the list in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help sighing: "Damn, I can't understand any of them, let's make money honestly." ”
The second phase of the process was nearly a month faster than the originally planned deadline.
This is good news, after all, in engineering projects, time means money, and every day you spend is the cost of one more day.
But at the same time, it's not good news. For Zhao Tian, the improvement of the project progress means that the capital investment that was originally planned should be invested in advance now.
However, thanks to Zhao Tian being forced by Leng Meiren once, ZT's abundant liquidity has exceeded the one billion required funds of the automobile production base at this stage, and some problems have been solved.
As the old saying goes, if a daughter-in-law runs away, it's not necessarily a bad thing, and if a daughter-in-law comes back, it's not necessarily a good thing.
What a blessing or a curse!
Once all the machinery and equipment are in place, ZT will enter the pace of automobile project development.
Regarding the later process, Lao Chang mentioned it to Zhao Tian before going abroad.
Once all the equipment is in place, it is time to start developing ZT's own car.
The most critical issue of ZT's application for automobile production qualification should also be formally incorporated into the company's articles of association.
At that time, it will be the power technology team led by Zhao Tian and Wei Jianping who will make a big effort.
After all, in the application for automobile production qualification, a very important condition is the company's core technology of automobiles.
At that time, no matter how strong the business ability of the old man was and how thick the network was, he still needed the strong technical strength of his own company to support it, otherwise everything was empty talk.
For this reason, Zhao Tian also adjusted the focus of his work slightly from selling fart stocks, and the number of meetings with Wei Jianping's technical team increased.
At the beginning, Zhao Tian gave the 'past-present-future' model, Wei Jianping led the team, and after refining the data, he actually grinded the handmade clay model of the model by hand under limited hardware conditions.
I have to say that people can't live if they don't go crazy.
After Wei Jianping took down an automobile company, he came to the new owner with his team, and he showed a strong attitude, and he was bound to make some achievements.
In the era when automobile car companies have already popularized machine-made models, Wei Jianping has rubbed out a new car model when ZT company's hardware is not available.
After the clay model of the new car came out, Wei Jianping invited Zhao Tian to go and review it.
After all, Zhao Tian is the chief designer of this car, and he is expected to personally handle the core components of the follow-up car.
In front of Zhao Tian, Wei Jianping has not dared to appear too much as a technical expert since he first came to see the engine he designed.
Zhao Tian casually made an engine, which was an existence that killed people every minute and seconds.
Seeing the clay surface shape of the new car, although it was not a metal frame, Zhao Tian still used the detector to scan it.
In the end, it was concluded that the total air resistance index of the car barely reached 5.
If you calculate it harshly, it's like 4.
This is the model that Zhao Tian used to assemble and patchwork with the front of the car with an air resistance index of 7 in the small C database.
But I didn't expect the final result to be so bad.
It is not the first time for Zhao Tian to build a car, but it is the first time.
Faced with unsatisfactory parameters, Zhao Tian was in a dilemma.
If this model is completely overturned and redone, Zhao Tian will not have too many entanglements in his heart, and he will not have any burden because he is a designer or something.
But considering that the team led by Wei Jianping has spent a month or two on this model, if they do so, I am afraid it will affect their morale.
How can I say that this is also the first car of ZT company, and before it can run, it will be stillborn, which will be a little embarrassing.
But this car really made Zhao Tian a little dissatisfied.
However, when Wei Jianping led the team to inspect with Zhao Tian, they all looked elated, and everyone had smiles on their faces, as if they were admiring a work of art, and they were judging the clay model of the new car.
