"Brother Fan, are you looking for me?"

Wang Yu has been very busy recently, as the scale of the R&D center is getting bigger and bigger, several R&D parts of Zhengxin are independent and form separate departments, and the responsibilities between each part are clear, but because the direction is determined, the R&D tasks are also more.

At present, the projects in the hands of Wang Yu's team include Zhengxin's new generation ECU, two adaptive suspension based on in-wheel motors, and solar panels that will be used on Zhengxin's BMW's electric vehicle models.

In addition, there are a large number of assembly upgrade projects that will be used for the replacement of Zhengxin's models.

So when Li Fanyu came to Wang Yu's office, this taciturn but already able to handle a large department of technology was not there.

It wasn't until his assistant went to look for him that he trotted back from the R&D department.

Li Fanyu on the sofa got up, walked to Wang Yu's side and patted him on the shoulder: "That's right, there is a job for you to do." ”

"What?" Wang Yuqi said.

Li Fanyu stuffed the hard drive in his hand in front of Wang Yu, "Oh, that's it." ”

Seeing the "recognition mode (image)" marked on the hard disk, Wang Yu scratched the back of his head: "Brother Fan, what is this thing?"

"Autonomous driving. Li Fanyu couldn't explain the ins and outs of this pattern recognition technology to Wang Yu in detail, so he chose to go straight to the point: "In this hard drive, there is a set of technology that I obtained through other channels. It can realize the anthropomorphic visual analysis of equipment and programs, and I want to use this thing to make a set of automated driving systems that can be applied to our Zhengxin electric vehicle line. Do you have time now?"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Yu's eyes lit up instantly.

Autonomous driving technology is currently a relatively hot direction of automobile development, and many domestic and foreign car companies have extended their tentacles here. However, Zhengxin does not have this technical reserve so far, and before that, Zhengxin's R&D concept has been based on reliability and safety, which is too dependent on electronic equipment, which is really contrary to Zhengxin's R&D concept.

However, as a developer, it is impossible not to be interested in any new technology that can be used in your field. In particular, autonomous driving is a technology that is likely to change the way cars are used by turning ideas from science fiction movies into reality!

It can be said that Wang Yu has long been itchy and has been making an Italian cannon in automatic driving technology.

In fact, when Li Fanyu launched the concept of car sharing, he discussed with Xu Fufang and Liu Qing whether he should start to develop autonomous driving technology to solve the seemingly impossible problem of car recycling and parking difficulties at that time.

But at that time, Li Fanyu launched a shared parking space, which solved the problem of shared car parking in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in a short period of time. lost the market pain point, and Zhengxin's autonomous driving plan was also aborted.

Now that Li Fanyu suddenly appeared in front of him without a hint of warning or a hint of defense, and directly threw over the self-driving technology he dreamed of, how could Wang Yu not be excited?

"Of course!" Wang Yu replied directly and firmly, "You have to squeeze time out of the matter handed over by Dong Li, even if you don't have time." ”

"Hahaha," Li Fanyu smiled heartily, "Well, that's good." Brother Yu, my vision for this autonomous driving is like this......"

Seeing that Wang Yu was full of answers, Li Fanyu immediately moved Wang Yu's notebook to the coffee table and connected it to the hard disk, and began to tell Wang Yu in detail about his ideas and the R&D model that was connected to Benben.

……

On the other hand.

Shanghai, TSL's China headquarters.

At this time, in the general manager's office, several bigwigs from the head office were gathered. and,Furui Ken, who is falling into impatience because he is chasing after Toyota Chixia.

The two parties did not come together for a cup of tea, but for the sake of TSL's new model project for the global market amid the uncertain future of the EP model.

It is thought that Panasonic's interest in TSL's cooperation is gradually fading, and there are still "scandals" with Toyota, and there are even rumors that Panasonic will reach a strategic partnership with Toyota and will strengthen this cooperative relationship by marriage.

At such a pace, TSL certainly can't hold up. You must know that among TSL's core technologies, Panasonic's power solutions are the most important one in addition to Silicon Valley's electronic black technology.

"Mr. Furuii, I heard that your Panasonic wants to invest in building a factory in China to set up a production part of super batteries and charging base stations, I wonder if this rumor is true?"

Faced with TSL's vice president Andorra's inquiry, Furui Ken nodded, "That's right. In line with the Group's strategy for the Chinese market in the new battery layout plan, we have indeed launched the China production base project. "Any questions?"

Andorra spread his hands, "You see, it's a coincidence. Our next model is also aimed at the Chinese market. In the face of the increasingly important Chinese market, we also intend to invest in the establishment of a final assembly line in China. In this way, the power solution of the new model still needs a lot of support from your company. ”

"Of course. Furui nodded.

Andorra hesitated slightly and asked, "But I heard that your company is in contact with Toyota and is interested in putting the latest battery technology into cooperation." I wonder if there's such a thing?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when I mention it, Furui Yan is full of anger.

Sooner or later, let her kneel on the bed and beg me!

Thinking of Toyota Chixia, and then thinking of repeatedly hitting the wall, he is an evil fire in his belly.

Seeing that Furui Yan did not speak, Andorra continued: "Mr. Furui, the cooperation between you and me has always been quite pleasant. And for now, TSL is Panasonic's largest demander in the automotive field, and I hope that your company's battery technology will only appear in our TSL models in a short time to maintain the high-end and advanced positioning of TSL models. ”

Originally, Panasonic was the only supplier of TSL's powertrain, and it is not too much for TSL to make such a request.

However, according to the current trend, it is most advantageous for Panasonic to jump out of this shackle.

As soon as Ken Furui wanted to refuse, he heard Andorra say: "As you know, the competition between our TSL and Zhengxin is at the most critical moment. On the new model, we have applied our most advanced driving system to date. Corresponding to the implementation, we also hope that Panasonic, as an important supplier of TSL, can support TSL during this critical period. ”

As soon as he heard the positive letter, Furui Yan's expression instantly became serious.

Thinking of Toyota Chixia's attitude towards himself during this period of time, as well as his "speculation" that he felt the improper relationship between Toyota Chixia and Li Fanyu, he felt that it was necessary to knock and knock.

So, he nodded slightly, "No problem." If it is a positive letter, then I can provide you with the most powerful support on behalf of Panasonic Automobile and Power Department!"
