Chapter 562: Ambitious Goals
"Qin Hai...... Who is this? ”
"I seem to have heard that it is the chairman or general manager of a private enterprise or something."
"How can you sit next to Director Yang, it seems to be quite familiar."
"You're young...... Is there any background ......?"
Seeing that Qin Hai's position was so close to Yang Xinyu, and Qin Hai's appearance was so young, the representatives of the enterprises in the room all muttered quietly. There are not no young people in this venue, but they are either the staff of the Machinery Committee, or the secretaries and technicians brought by the heads of various enterprises, and they are not qualified to sit in the first row at all. And this Qin Hai, who most people don't know, was able to sit next to Yang Xinyu generously, and when he sat down, Yang Xinyu obviously greeted him politely, which couldn't help but make people have all kinds of speculations.
Qin Hai already has enough fame among local governments and private entrepreneurs, the former who value his investment and the latter who see him as a role model. But at this moment, in this conference room, there are all the CEOs of major state-owned automobile enterprises, and in their eyes, all private entrepreneurs are nothing more than guerrillas, and they are not qualified to talk to the regular army like them. As for the scale of Qin Hai's enterprises and how many assets Qin Hai has, they have not paid attention to it, otherwise they may look at Qin Hai differently.
"This Qin is always the chairman of Daqin Industrial Group, and their group has two things to do with materials. When we were localizing Pusang automobiles, Mr. Qin often went to our factory, and at that time, Director Yang was still the deputy director of the localization office, and Qin was always his right-hand man. ”
Yuan Longsheng, vice president of technology of Pujiang Automobile Group, made an introduction to his colleagues below, and among this cadre, he is the one who knows Qin Hai best. At that time, he was the technical director of Pujiang Automobile Company and had a lot of dealings with Qin Hai. The two have some personal relationships, and he still admires Qin Hai's own ability.
"I see." Everyone nodded slightly, since Qin Hai was once Yang Xinyu's subordinate, it was understandable to appear at the conference table at this time. Maybe Yang Xinyu used him as a secretary, but as for the greetings between the two, it can also be interpreted as Yang Xinyu is approachable.
The meeting started on time. Yang Xinyu, as the moderator, introduced the representatives who participated in the meeting. Sitting at the front were the leaders and chief engineers of several major automobile groups, as well as experts from several scientific research institutes, and officials sent by several relevant departments to attend the meeting. The director of the Machinery Committee also appeared in friendship, and after telling everyone a few clichés about no oil and no salt, he left, and then the meeting entered the main topic.
"Since the reform and opening up, under the wise leadership of the central government. China's automobile industry is determined to forge ahead, has the courage to innovate, and actively absorbs and learns from foreign advanced technology, and the car production is in a good shape, providing strong support for the development of the national economy and the improvement of people's lives......"
Wang Kaihua, vice president of Beidian Automobile Group, spoke first, and he praised the entire automobile industry with a long official article, and of course he did not forget to praise the wisdom and martial arts of the superior leaders, including Yang Xinyu, and then changed the conversation. The long-awaited "yet" sentence pattern begins:
"However, in general. Due to the limitations of various historical reasons, the level of China's automobile industry lags far behind the level of the world's automobile industry, and the level of automobile engines lags behind the level of the automobile industry. Specific to the gasoline engine for cars, although we have introduced some foreign technologies in the past ten years, these technologies are at the level of foreign countries more than ten years ago, and many technical indicators have fallen behind. Like what. In the valve system, the technologies introduced in China are single-item camshaft or overhead valve, carburetor type, and the compression ratio has also been reduced after the introduction, and these technologies have been completely eliminated in foreign countries......"
Qin Hai spread out a notebook and kept recording Wang Kaihua's speech. Due to having done enough homework beforehand. He knew that everything Wang Kaihua said was right, and although there were some habitual clichés, the questions raised were real.
Everyone present obviously agreed with Wang Kaihua's analysis, and after his half-hour speech, everyone gave him warm applause without hesitation, and more familiar people nodded and praised him:
"Lao Wang, that's a good point!"
"Mr. Wang is insightful, and he deserves to be an old autobot!"
The next speaker was a professor from the Department of Automotive Engineering at Huaqing University, named Jiang Hailin. He talked about the development trend of foreign automobile engines, and said that the development of new car engines for the 21st century should focus on solving such problems: the number and arrangement of cylinders, the mode of air exchange, structure and weight, fuel economy, emission control, reliability, and so on. When Jiang Hailin spoke, not only Qin Hai was busy recording, but the engineers and technicians sitting in the back row were also holding this rustling record, for fear of missing something important.
"At present, the loading rate of electronic control fuel injection systems in the United States has reached 100%, more than 70% in Germany, and more than 60% in Japan, while our country is just starting. To solve the problem of electronic fuel injection technology, involving electronics, materials, processing technology and other aspects, it is impossible to rely on a single enterprise to complete, must be led by the state, enterprises and colleges and universities full cooperation, in order to make effective progress. Jiang Hailin said in a straight voice.
"Let me interrupt Professor Jiang, may I ask if our Huaqing Automobile Department has any research on EFI technology?" Yang Xinyu interjected.
"Of course, we have been tracking international advanced technology." Jiang Hailin replied.
"What does it take to turn this research into a technology that can actually be applied?" Yang Xinyu asked again.
"Funds!" Jiang Hailin replied without hesitation, "Our current research is still only in theoretical research, and we hope to establish a practical room for EFI technology, but when the report was sent to the school, it was rejected, saying that there was not enough funding." Mr. Wang and Mr. Yuan expressed their willingness to provide some funds to support our research, but they were far from meeting the needs. ”
Speaking of this, he nodded slightly to Wang Kaihua, Yuan Longsheng and others, indicating that what he was talking about was just a few of them. Yang Xinyu followed Jiang Hailin's gaze to a few people, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Yuan, how much money have you provided to Professor Jiang and them?" ”
"We offered it three times, whether it was 350,000 or 450,000, I don't remember exactly."
"We are 720,000, and it is also provided in three projects, not entirely for EFI technology."
The two replied separately.
Hearing the number of answers from the two people, Qin Hai frowned slightly, and the other people in the conference room didn't pay attention to Qin Hai's small action, but Yang Xinyu had a good heart, cast a knowing look at Qin Hai, and then said to Jiang Hailin quietly: "Professor Jiang, you go on." ”
Jiang Hailin was not affected by this episode, he continued to introduce the frontier of foreign engine technology, and put forward all kinds of beautiful prospects for domestic engine research work. Qin Hai didn't feel much at first, but as he listened, he slowly felt that something was wrong: the goal proposed by this old man was too high, and he basically planned to catch up with the United States before 2010.
With the memory of later generations, Qin Hai knew that even in the new century, China's car engines were still at a relatively backward level in the world, and he didn't know much about the specific reasons, but compared with Jiang Hailin's goal, the gap was really a bit big. He doesn't know if it was because China's auto industry chose the wrong way to lead to such a result, or if it was indeed so difficult to catch up with the world's advanced level, all in all, he was a little skeptical that this goal was realistic.
After Jiang Hailin, several business leaders and scholars spoke one after another, some of them expounded on a specific technology, and some put forward ideas from the height of national macro management, summing up the views of everyone, nothing more than that China's car engine is too far behind foreign countries, and must catch up. And to catch up with the footsteps of foreign countries, we can only rely on the support of the state. As for what is meant by support, everyone knows it, that is, funds.
"In the report jointly submitted by several of your automobile companies and industry associations, the state is required to allocate 2 billion yuan to carry out the research and development of advanced car engines, and the leaders of the Machinery Committee met and entrusted me to ask you, if you are provided with an allocation of 2 billion yuan, when can you come up with what level of engine?" Yang Xinyu put a report on the table, then looked at everyone and asked calmly.
Several leaders of car companies exchanged glances with each other, and Wang Kaihua said on behalf of everyone: "In 2005, no later than 2010, we will be able to come up with world-class engines." ”
"How sure are you?" Yang Xinyu asked.
"Eighty percent." Wang Kaihua replied categorically.
"Mr. Wang, I am engaged in materials, and I am a layman to cars. I'd like to ask you a question about the material, I don't know if it's okay? Qin Hai spoke, he was not dominant, but saw Yang Xinyu's hint to him. Yang Xinyu invited him to participate in the meeting, just to let him be the wicked person who provoked the thorn, anyway, he didn't care about offending this group of leaders, he really said something wrong, Yang Xinyu could give him a round.
Wang Kaihua was a little surprised by Qin Hai's sudden words, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If Mr. Qin has any questions, just ask them, but I'm a layman, and some questions may not be able to be answered." ”
"Mr. Wang is polite." Qin Hai also smiled and said: "I have also read this report in the hand of Director Yang, and I have a question: whether the R&D investment in engine-related materials in the report can ensure that these materials are developed." (To be continued......)
