Chapter 239: Something Happened to SAIC
"Sun Da and you have a good relationship......" Looking at Sun Dacheng's back, Old Man Xie Minsheng was a little puzzled.
"Private friendship is private friendship, since the discussion is a public matter, you can't mix too much personal friendship, don't you think Sun Dacheng is the same? Knowing that we were making an atypical jeep, he immediately didn't say anything about what he had said, he just came to work for his family under the guise of personal friendship. Chen Geng said with a smile.
"That's the case," Old Man Xie nodded, and then asked curiously, "But are you really so optimistic about this jeep?" ”
Chen Geng smiled: "Even if this car is only two-wheel drive, it is no problem to climb a road tooth, take a rural dirt road or something, and even some light off-road on non-paved roads can also be dealt with, for a car, 212 Jeep's strong off-road ability has been wasted in most of the time, but it has brought an increase in fuel consumption, so even if this car is only two-wheel drive, it is enough for the vast majority of people to meet their use intensity."
Even Fiat 126P such a small car that is not as big as leather shoes can be accepted, I can't think of a reason why everyone can't accept this car, not to mention that according to my observation, with our planned production capacity, this car will basically be sold in coastal provinces within 2 years, as for the central and western regions of these areas with relatively high requirements for off-road performance of vehicles? That's early! ”
Xie Minsheng nodded: "What you said also makes sense...... You're the head of the company, and as long as you think it's okay, it's okay. ”
"Don't say that," Chen Geng didn't expect Old Man Xie Minsheng to say that, and hurriedly said, "I'm still young." There are so many things I don't understand. We need you to help us steer and check the gates. Old man, it's still the same sentence, as long as you look at what I'm doing wrong, and you think there's something wrong, you can just bring it up. ”
What Old Man Xie Minsheng likes is Chen Geng, no matter what time it is, he is not impatient, sometimes he himself is strange, at Chen Geng's age, he has a successful career at this age. It is the era of high spirits, but why can't you see a little young people jumping off Chen Geng? However, most of the time, he still likes Chen Geng's character.
Speaking of Chen Geng's temperament, he suddenly remembered something and asked casually: "Did your German friends at SAIC tell you that Wolfsburg plans to build an engine assembly plant in the magic capital?" ”
"I heard." Chen Geng nodded.
He really heard about this matter, and the imported parts of the Poussin car assembled by the SAIC Pusang project team accounted for more than 93%, but there is a problem, among these imported CKD parts, the engine and gearbox are complete. It can be used as soon as it is loaded, which of course is no problem. The only problem is that the tax rate for a complete engine and gearbox is not the same as the tax rate for the engine and gearbox in the state of parts, the latter is lower, and on the premise of not sacrificing performance, SAIC took the initiative to build an engine assembly plant in Wolfsburg to assemble the 1.8L engine on Poussin, and the gearbox will be assembled later.
Speaking of the 1.8L displacement engine equipped on Poussin, although it is still backward overhead camshaft, two-valve structure per cylinder, that is, SOHC, what VVT, VVT-i, D-VVT and other Niu X technology is completely absent, but in terms of overall performance, it is definitely the best engine that can be found in China at present, the reliability is extremely good, and what is even more rare is that the low torque of this engine is greatIt's not that those domestically produced engines that don't respond when they step on a third of the throttle, and then step on a little bit and suddenly shudder.
But he just heard about it, and he didn't take it to heart at all, and now that Old Man Xie Minsheng suddenly mentioned it, Chen Geng was curious: "......What do you mean?"
"Isn't your relationship with those Germans? Can you tell them that if this engine is produced in China, can you let them supply some to us? ”
Only then did Chen Geng understand what he meant by coming over to thank the old man, and he smiled bitterly: "I don't have such a big face." ”
Of course, the old man's idea was very good, but it was a pity that the Germans refused to do it.
Chen Geng remembers very clearly, even in the 90s, the domestic 1.8L engine department on Poussin is not one or two, but in order to maintain the so-called "technological advancement", Wolfsburg is unwilling to provide other domestic units with bare engines or engine gearbox assemblies, this does not provide technology, but directly does not sell you the engine and engine gearbox assembly, you don't care how much money you pay Wolfsburg is not sold, people are also ox X: Anyway, Lao Tzu has money, not bad for your money!
Later, it was not until after 2000 that the Mitsubishi 4G6X series engine of Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was put into production, and the domestic engine was considered to have advanced performance and reliable operation - but even at this time, Wolfsburg still refused to sell their engines, even if Dongan Mitsubishi was put into production later, Wolfsburg still raised his head proudly: Lao Tzu said that if you don't sell it, you won't sell it!
There is no way, people in Wolf Castle have money, and if they are rich, they can naturally be willful.
But Old Man Xie Minsheng obviously didn't think so, in his opinion, since Chen Geng could get the shock absorber from Wolf Castle, he would naturally be able to find a way to get the engine and gearbox.
Although it is only a 1.8L displacement engine, but the overall performance is much better than the 2.2L displacement Jinfeng 680Q engine produced by SAIC Engine Factory.
Unable to resist the old man Xie, Chen Geng had no choice but to call another German engineer in the SAIC Poussin project department, but when he hung up the phone, Chen Geng's expression was extremely heavy.
"What's wrong? The Germans refused to sell engines to us? Seeing that Chen Geng's expression was not very good, Old Man Xie's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked.
"I expected the Germans to refuse to sell us engines......"
Chen Geng smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to say this to Old Man Xie Minsheng next, he was afraid that Old Man Xie would not be able to withstand such a serious blow.
"Then what are you......" Xie Minsheng frowned, although he and Chen Geng have not known each other for a long time, only about half a year, but probably because the two of them are more compatible in terms of personality, the two have cultivated a good tacit understanding in many things, although Chen Geng has been trying his best to cover it up, but Xie Minsheng is still keenly aware of something, and his face suddenly changed: "What's the matter?" Is something wrong? ”
Chen Geng hesitated, unsure whether he should tell Old Man Xie the news.
Sure enough, something happened!
"It's okay, just say, is there a problem with our shock supply? Which car of ours needs to be re-matched with the suspension? Old Man Xie's face was very calm: "It's okay, it's a big deal, let's do it again, it's just a waste of time......"
"It's not a shock absorber problem," it's not good to hide it from this venerable old man anymore, Chen Geng bit his lip, and finally decided to tell him what he had just heard: "Wolfsburg agreed to SAIC's request for the two sides to publicly establish an engine and gearbox assembly plant, but Wolfsburg proposed to set up this engine and gearbox assembly plant on the basis of SAIC's engine plant, and to use the workers of SAIC Engine Factory......"
Xie Minsheng's face suddenly turned white!
Chen Geng hurriedly held his mouth and sat down with him: "Old man, are you okay...... I shouldn't have said ......"
"It's okay...... It's okay......" Old Man Xie waved his hand, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Chen Gengdao: "Say!" What else? ”
"You ......"
"I said I'm fine! What else are the Germans going to do? Tell me everything you just heard! ”
Xie Minsheng, who had always been gentle in front of Chen Geng, suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum, so that Chen Geng couldn't refuse at all.
He wasn't about to say no.
The old man has worked in the SAIC Engine Factory all his life, he knows everything there, for Xie Minsheng, the SAIC Engine Factory is his child, even if this is now independent and separated, he is still concerned and concerned, and now I heard that Wolfsburg plans to do something to the SAIC Engine Factory, in the heart of the old man Xie, this is no different from someone planning to rob his own child, where can he bear it?
Chen Gengneng understood Xie Minsheng's mood, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Okay, don't worry, don't get excited, I'll tell you, you adjust your mood first, let's talk slowly." ”
"Okay, you can say it," took a few deep breaths, Old Man Xie nodded slowly: "Don't worry about me, old man, I've come over with many strong winds and waves, and this little gutter can't capsize the boat!" ”
"Wolfsburg's requirements are that the equipment of SAIC's engine plant is too old and backward to meet the minimum requirements for assembling engines, so Wolfsburg is now asking SAIC to sell all the equipment of the current engine plant, and the two sides will invest in the introduction of equipment in proportion to jointly build an engine assembly plant......
In addition, Wolfsburg promised that the engine plant would mainly assemble formulas in the early stage, and that the engine production would also be placed here in the future......"
Old Man Xie interrupted Chen Geng's words in a rough manner: "Those eight princes agreed? ”
Eight Lambs? It seems that the old man is really angry, otherwise it would be impossible to use this word to scold the leadership of SAIC.
Chen Geng said silently: "I haven't agreed all yet, but the problem shouldn't be big, and the tone of the Germans sounds very optimistic." ”
"Damn! A bunch of bastards! ”
