"Well said!"

Qin Hai clenched his fists tightly and cheered with a voice that was just enough for Yang Xinyu to hear.

The development of a world-class engine with its own technology sounds like a wonderful goal, but if you evaluate it carefully, as Zhang Daiwei said, it is a goal that has no value and is difficult to achieve.

It is said that it is difficult to achieve because the development of engines is not only a technical issue, but also involves a large number of patent barriers. Since China is a latecomer in the automotive industry, the roads that can be taken in front of you have been labeled by others, and if you want to go over, you have to pay for the road to others. If others feel that you may threaten their interests, they will not even accept the money to buy the road, and will simply refuse to let you go through the road.

If you want to completely bypass other people's patents, you can only find a unique way and come up with a new set of design concepts. But is it so easy to generate entirely new ideas? Foreign auto giants have technology, experience, and capital, and they can't come up with ideas, so why can Chinese car companies put forward them with a pat on their heads? Investing huge sums of money in something that is completely uncertain is simply a senseless risk.

If it is only difficult to save the situation, then it is also advisable to concentrate resources on breakthroughs for the purpose of mastering technology. As an industrial power, you can't always be a follower in a field like automobiles, and you have to strive to compete with international peers. The problem is that the fuel car itself is already a sunset industry, the earth's oil will soon run out of chimes, and new energy technology is facing a blowout, and it is completely unnecessary to put a lot of resources into it at this time.

Think about it, if you concentrate the best talent, it costs tens of billions of dollars. In the end, the best gasoline engine was developed, but the mainstream of car power became new energy.

The car industry is not involved in military purposes, so there is no need to be at the forefront of the world. China is still a poor country, and there is little demand for premium cars. What the national economy and people's lives need is an ordinary car of the affordable type. Equipped with the engine of this kind of car, the current technology is very mature, through the introduction of the method to achieve localization, can be described as beneficial but not cost, why not?

The market for premium engines is inherently small, and even if you don't talk about patent barriers and brand loyalty barriers, can you get the world's wealthy to abandon Ferrari in favor of an obscure luxury car brand? Can you get Ferrari to ditch its own engine and embrace your new home-branded engine?

All of these factors have nothing to do with technology at all. It was decided that the independent development of a first-class engine had completely become a political achievement project, and it was economically infeasible except to satisfy people's illusory "national self-esteem".

From Yang Xinyu's point of view, it is understandable that he can't see the relationship clearly for a while. But to say that the CEOs of all car companies don't know this, I'm afraid I can't say it. Half of them are doing it to meet the needs of the government, and the other half is just the idea of arbitraging state funds. If you can fool the country to come up with 2 billion yuan to tackle key problems. Then each company can get 350 million yuan, as for what can be produced in the end. Then it doesn't matter.

If it takes ten or twenty years to take effect, you don't have to worry about what you have to be responsible for. Think about it, will Yang Xinyu still be in the position of the Machinery Committee in 10 years? Yuan Longsheng, Wang Kaihua, etc., will they still be vice presidents in their respective companies? By then, the parties have all changed, who will pursue the success or failure of the project?

Everyone came to this venue pretending to be confused, but there was such a Zhang Daiwei. Unwilling to let everyone be confused, he resolutely lifted the lid and exposed all his calculations to the sun. It is not wronged to say that he is a traitor to various car companies, but this "traitor" is intended. But it is the healthy growth of China's automobile industry.

In daily life, we often hear people in certain industries talking to the media, saying how much there is a gap between themselves and the international advanced level, and if they do not catch up, the Chinese nation will be in a place of no return. For such words, everyone just listens, the subtext is nothing more than to policy, investment, as for how far away this industry is from others, and whether there is really a desire to catch up in the industry, only God knows.

Some people think that leaders like to brag, but in fact this is a misunderstanding, or at least an incomplete understanding. When the leader wants to be promoted, he will blow 100 into 1000; But when they want to get benefits from the state, they will do the other way around, saying 1000 as 100. The kind of person who doesn't brag about how successful the industry is on every occasion is either lacking in heart, or he is planning to make a final vote and then change jobs.

That's exactly what happened in the automotive industry. The major car companies rely on the introduction of technology to earn a lot of brains, but they still have to complain, still hold high the banner of nationalism, fooling the state to give them tax cuts and investment, as for what to catch up with the world's advanced level, even they don't believe it, otherwise, with the strength of these car companies, can they really not make up the 2 billion yuan of scientific research funds?

Zhang Daiwei, like an honest child, suddenly said that the emperor was not actually wearing any clothes. For the leaders and technical executives of various car companies, his words are to puncture a lie that they know well; For outsiders such as Yang Xinyu and Qin Hai, it was to open a layer of window paper, which made them suddenly enlightened.

"Xiao Zhang, you're going a little too far." Yang Xinyu spoke, he pretended to be strict and reprimanded Zhang Daiwei, but the happy expression in his eyes was clearly telling everyone: I think this young man is right, you want to lie to me, now it's exposed, right?

"According to scientists' calculations, the world's oil reserves can be used for at least 50 years, and new oil fields will continue to be discovered during this period, so it is optimistic that in the next 70 to 80 years, fuel vehicles will continue to exist. 70 to 80 years is enough for us to cultivate an industry, so we should still consider the issue of advanced engines and not give up. ”

Yang Xinyu gave everyone a reassurance. He himself is a technical cadre, and he has paid attention to the issues discussed in advance, so some of them can be blurted out, which can be regarded as correcting Zhang Daiwei's statement. However, Qin Hai, who was sitting next to Yang Xinyu, knew that Yang Xinyu's assertion was actually not valid.

As oil reserves decrease, oil prices will certainly rise gradually, making the economy of fuel cars continue to decline. The development of new energy technology will provide another reason to replace fuel cars. In addition, the concern for the environment is also the reason for the gradual withdrawal of fuel cars from the market, which has begun to emerge in foreign countries, and people in China are not aware of this, but technicians with a broad vision like Zhang Daiwei can definitely see this.

As for when new energy vehicles will fully replace fuel cars, a large part depends on the development of new energy technology, in this regard, Qin Hai has more to say, because in Anhe Institute of Materials, there is already more than one new energy project in full swing.

Seeing that the faces of the leaders of various car companies were slightly relaxed, Yang Xinyu continued: "However, the question raised by Xiao Zhang is also worthy of our attention. In terms of fuel vehicles, we are decades behind foreign countries, and now to catch up, it is very costly, and there are many obstacles.

In terms of new energy vehicles, Western countries are also just starting, compared with our leading level within 10 years. In this field, there are still a lot of technological gaps to be filled, and it is a good opportunity for a rising country like ours to catch up with and surpass the world's advanced. Therefore, taking advantage of today's meeting, can we also discuss what China's automobile industry can do in terms of new energy vehicles? ”

"New energy vehicles?"

The leaders of car companies looked at each other, not because they didn't understand the concept, but because they didn't think about entering this field at all. Foreigners are just starting out, so how can we do better than others? Shouldn't the reasonable rhythm be that foreigners open up the road first, and then we follow others step by step?

"New Energy...... Well, this thing is very good, I heard that people abroad are now engaged in electric vehicles, but the technology here seems to be very complicated, what lithium batteries, hydrogen batteries...... Why don't we go back and organize technicians to study it? Yuan Longsheng said in a whisper, and when he heard it, he felt insincere.

"Yes, Lao Dong, after you go back to the technical department, study this problem carefully, doesn't that Zhang Daiwei like this thing very much, let him engage in this technology, and give full play to his expertise." Wang Kaihua also turned back to Dong Linsheng and instructed, and expressed his opinions on Zhang Daiwei's handling at the same time.

Boy, aren't you a cow, dare to slap Lao Tzu in the face at the conference, then give you an unpopular project to toss. No money, no equipment, no accumulation, I want to see what you can toss out of the name.

When Wang Kaihua spoke like this, Qin Hai paid attention to Zhang Daiwei's expression, and he saw a trace of disdain on the other party's face, as if he had been mentally prepared for this ending, and at the same time, he was already determined to sacrifice his life for benevolence. Qin Hai's heart moved, he suddenly felt that this Zhang Daiwei might be a useful talent, rather than letting him stay in the Beidian Group and wear the small shoes given to him by Wang Kaihua, it was better to pull him out and do something interesting.

Thinking of this, a relaxed smile appeared on Qin Hai's face. (To be continued......)
