As early as when he was still in Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory, Qin Hai had been in contact with the research and production of automotive materials, and had an understanding of the current situation of domestic automotive materials. In the past few days, with the task assigned by Yang Xinyu, he asked people to collect some information about automobile engine materials for research, and did some analysis work according to the reports submitted by several major car companies to the Machinery Committee.

As the core component of the car, the automobile engine can be said to be small and complete, and the technology involved is very comprehensive. In terms of materials, foreign advanced engines can be described as the integration of various new material technologies, such as the engine cylinder adopts high-strength thin-walled casting technology, the thinnest point is only 3 mm, and the strength requirements for cast iron materials are very high; Engine oil seals are made of fluoroelastomers and other composite materials; The valve needs to be made of new materials that are resistant to high temperature and wear; There are also piston rings, bearings, etc., all corresponding to some of the most advanced material technologies.

Qin Hai is well-informed, knows the essence of these technologies and the difficulty of development, and also knows how big a gap there is between domestic material technology and these material requirements. There are some technologies that rely on Qin Hai's foresight and foresight, and may be able to avoid detours and complete development at a relatively small cost. But there are some technologies that Qin Hai is not familiar with, and they are still the secret core technologies of major car companies even after 30 years.

Material technology alone is so difficult. Other aspects, such as electronic control, structure, processing technology, etc., are also difficult. With so many technologies, it is far from enough to solve it with 2 billion yuan. Previously, Jiang Hailin claimed that he had received millions of yuan in funding from Beidian, Pujiang and other enterprises, which was enough to make Qin Hai feel cold, and Yang Xinyu also felt helpless about it.

Hear Qin Hai's question. Wang Kaihua was a little dazed for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then he turned his head and shouted to a man with glasses sitting in the back row: "Old Dong, you can answer Mr. Qin's question." ”

Dong Lin, director of the technical department of Beidian Automobile Group, stood up stiffly, and he hesitated to say to Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, your problem. I don't quite understand, can you say it all over again? ”

I don't understand, it's a lie. The report to the Machinery Committee was jointly drafted by several car companies, and Dong Linsheng was also one of the important participants. Everyone has calculated and even quarreled about the amount of investment in various technologies in the report, how can Dong Linsheng not know the mystery?

It is a beautiful story to develop a world-class engine with 2 billion yuan. But that's just a story. 2 billion yuan is a huge amount of money for Chinese companies, but for those international auto giants, it is not the same thing at all.

The output value of a car is calculated at 30,000 US dollars, and the annual output value of an enterprise with an annual output of 1 million cars is 30 billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 150 billion yuan. In fact. Many car companies spend more than US$1 billion a year on R&D, and 2 billion yuan is not a large amount.

The industrial base abroad is much better than in China. These old car companies also have mature engine research and development experience, plus money is not a problem, but why is first-class engines still a scarce thing?

Or to put it another way, if the Chinese can develop a world-class engine with an investment of 2 billion yuan, then foreign car companies with stronger technical strength, better foundation, more experience, and an investment of 20 billion yuan can not come up with an engine that can reach the first class in the universe?

How bold man is and how prolific is the land. Such a slogan is just a blind official, and who at the grassroots level does not know the fragility of this slogan?

Dong Linsheng's current state is to pretend to be confused, and he hopes that Qin Hai can change to a simpler question and let him prevaricate. That's it. In fact, he never thought that there would be such a freak as Qin Hai in this venue today, if it weren't for Qin Hai, others would not have asked such tricky questions. Isn't China's affairs always carried by everyone in a sedan chair? Who would ask such a fatal question to his face.

Qin Hai seemed to be ignorant of Dong Linsheng's resentment, he smiled and said, "Director Dong, I mean that in your report, the proportion of fees given to material research seems to be too low. For example, you mentioned in the report the development of thin-walled materials for cylinders, and plan to use 1 million yuan to complete this development, do you think it can be done? ”

"Cylinder thin-walled material ......" Dong Linsheng muttered in a low voice, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to a young man sitting in the back row and said: "Xiao Zhang, Zhang Daiwei, this question is up to you to answer Mr. Qin, you can explain why we can solve the problem of cylinder thin-walled materials with an investment of 1 million yuan." ”

This young man named Zhang Daiwei is an engineer in the Beidian Automobile Technology Department, and he is usually quite clever, and he can often solve some technical problems creatively, but he often creates some embarrassment for the leaders. This time, Dong Linsheng originally didn't plan to bring him to this meeting, but unexpectedly, he had never been too keen on meetings, but he took the initiative to come to the capital to attend the meeting, and Dong Linsheng brought him with him.

Going to the capital for a meeting is a benefit in the technical department, except for some important people who must attend the meeting, other people also have the opportunity to take turns to participate. In Dong Linsheng's view, Zhang Daiwei should want to take the opportunity to travel to the capital and buy some cheap goods and the like, which is purely a soy sauce role. Unexpectedly, now Qin Hai raised a specific technical problem, and this problem happened to be what Zhang Daiwei had been involved in, so he took advantage of the situation to push Zhang Daiwei out. Regardless of whether Qin Hai's question can be answered or not, at least there is an explanation. With Zhang Daiwei's identity, even if he didn't answer well, how could Qin Hai or Yang Xinyu embarrass him?

Hearing Dong Linsheng's greeting, Zhang Daiwei stood up, he looked at Qin Hai, and replied in a clear tone: "Mr. Qin, our technical department has studied the problem of cylinder thin-wall, and our idea is to prepare to develop a new thin-walled material based on HT25-47 cast iron. ”

"Do you know anything about this cast iron material?" Qin Hai asked lightly.

Zhang Daiwei said that this kind of cast iron, Qin Hai also once studied, that is, when he was a consultant to the Ministry of Agriculture, he once discussed with the technicians of a diesel engine factory the feasibility of using this kind of cast iron as a diesel engine cylinder material. He knew that the development of thin-walled gasoline engine cylinder materials based on this cast iron material was the right idea and could effectively save input. But even so, the funding of 1 million is still far from enough.

"I've done research on this material." Zhang Daiwei replied that unlike Dong Linsheng, he did not have a trace of cowardice towards Qin Hai, and he spoke more simply.

Qin Haidao: "Since you have done research, then you sue me if you can develop thin-walled materials that have reached the advanced level of foreign countries with an investment of 1 million." ”

"Of course not." Zhang Daiwei didn't think about it, and gave a negative answer bluntly.

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar. Especially Wang Kaihua and Dong Linsheng, they turned their heads in unison, glared at Zhang Daiwei angrily, and a murderous aura rose into the air.

Nima! Have you demolished yourself like this? What kind of occasion is this, even if you are telling the truth, can you say it here? Although Qin Hai only asked a question about thin-walled materials, a glimpse of the whole leopard, a flaw in a detail can reflect the laxity of the entire report, isn't this directly handing the handle to someone else's hands?

"So, you think this report is flawed?" Of course, Yang Xinyu will not miss such an opportunity to attack the other party with the opponent's artillery fire, what a good opportunity this is. Strictly speaking, he didn't completely disagree with this report, but just hoped that Guò would find out what was wrong with it. Now it is better for the internal personnel of Beidian Group to take the initiative to point out the faults in the report, which is of course better than he, the deputy director of the Mechanical Committee, speaking directly.

Zhang Daiwei glanced at Wang Kaihua and Dong Linsheng, then raised his head to face Yang Xinyu, and said solemnly: "I don't just think that this report is flawed, I am fundamentally opposed to the goals proposed in this report. In my opinion, the goal of developing a world-class gasoline engine is completely unhelpful and unrealistic. ”

This time, the field was far from an uproar, it was like pouring a scoop of water into a pan of oil, and it was all fried at once. Even Yang Xinyu and Qin Hai, all of them couldn't believe their ears for a while. Wang Kaihua's face suddenly turned black, and if he pasted a crescent, he could directly make a cameo appearance in Bao Qingtian.

"Zhang Daiwei! You bastard! Wang Kaihua scolded loudly, in a hurry, he couldn't take care of Sven. You know, this is also in the Machinery Committee, he also paid a little attention to the proportion, back to the Beidian Automobile Group, in addition to the general manager, who else was he afraid of? When is it not like this to export into dirty.

"Get the hell out of here now! Buy a ticket to go back to the North Store now, ready to accept the punishment! Wang Kaihua spat and shouted.

"Since I'm here, I don't plan to go back to the North Store!"

In the midst of the surging tide of anger, Zhang Daiwei was surprisingly calm, and only the most attentive person could find that the muscles on his face were twitching gently, obviously under great psychological pressure.

"Dear Director Yang, I hope to give me a chance to state that as an automaker, I can't watch the country's automobile industry go astray, nor can I watch the country miss the next opportunity for development. My personal honor and disgrace are nothing, I just hope that the leaders of the Mechanical Committee can listen to my opinions. Zhang Daiwei said to Yang Xinyu with a firm expression.
