"What do you think a car is? Do children play at home? Seeing Chen Geng, Zhuang Qun came up and reprimanded: "Put the engine of a motorcycle into a car and act as a car engine?" It's just a mess! You've counted the world, has there been a car manufacturer that has done this? ”

This reprimand was merciless, of course, with Zhuang Qun's status in the domestic automobile industry, there is no need for him to save face for Chen Geng, to put it mildly, in the automobile industry of the Republic, it is bigger than Chen Geng to carry a single Wang Ba out.

But Chen Geng was disappointed, he came in a hurry, originally thought that his cooperation with Xiangjiang Machinery Factory attracted Zhuang Qun's attention, he wanted to contribute some strength to the development of the automobile industry of the Republic, even if it was the worst, but also to be able to provide himself with some useful opinions and references, no matter how Chen Geng thought, he did not expect that Zhuang Qun called himself to the purpose of scolding himself - what is this?

Zhuang Qun thought that with his status in the automobile industry of the Republic and his influence in the automobile industry of the Republic, Chen Geng should wake up after being scolded by himself, after all, he was also out of a good heart, he really couldn't bear to see such a good seedling go astray, but he was disappointed, in the face of his own questioning, Chen Geng's answer was extremely firm: "Yes!" ”

Yes?!

You even said there was?!

Zhuang Qun was so stunned by Chen Geng's answer that he almost didn't come up: I asked you if you ever used a motorcycle engine to build a car, and you actually told me that there was?

"Who is it?" Zhuang Qun, who was suffocated by Chen Geng's answer, held back for more than ten seconds before he asked a little angrily.

"Morgan," Chen Geng said, "the Morgan of the United Kingdom." A manufacturing company known for its handmade custom cars. Its popularity in European and American countries is no less than that of Rolls-Royce. It is one of the representative enterprises of British classical handmade cars. ”

"Morgan ......" Zhuang Qun opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer, he really hadn't heard of Morgan Motors.

As the birthplace of modern industry and the industrial revolution, before World War II, Britain's automobile industry was the most developed in the world, and under the incubation of developed industry, Britain gave birth to a large number of world-famous car brands such as Rolls-Royce, bentley, MGrover, Land Rover, Jaguar, etc., but Zhuang Qun really didn't know that there was a Morgan car in Britain. Is this kid lying? It doesn't seem like that, he can answer his question in the first place, which is enough to show that he knows the answer to this question, and it shows that there really seems to be a Morgan car in Britain that makes cars with motorcycle engines -- if Zhuang Qun knew that Morgan cars made three-wheeled cars with motorcycle engines, and the price was still expensive, it was estimated that he would go crazy directly.

Seeing Zhuang Qun's reaction, Chen Geng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Morgan Automobile used motorcycle engines to produce three-wheeled vehicles, but as early as 1951, Morgan stopped the production of three-wheeled vehicles, and it was not until 2011 that 50 limited edition Morgan 3Wheeler three-wheeled vehicles were launched again. If someone punctures the cowhide, this face will be lost.

But Zhuang Qun is still Zhuang Qun in the end. After so many years of work, although he is a technical cadre, he has not done much work as a political cadre, and after taking a deep breath, he quickly adjusted: "Okay, in addition to this Morgan car, can you find another one for me?" ”

"Yes," Chen Geng said without hesitation: "The British car manufacturing company RelianantMotors also has a car, the model is Reliantrobin. ”

And also?

Are you still finished?!

Zhuang Qun was suffocated by Chen Geng's suffocation: he really didn't know, how did Chen Geng know about so many out-of-the-way cars, listen, Reliant Company's Reliantrobin car, what kind of stuff is this?!

In fact, there is a big difference between strictly reliantrobin and Morgan 3Wheeler, reliantrobin is a regular three-wheeled car, with one wheel in front and two wheels in the back, while Morgan 3Wheeler is an inverted three-wheeled car, with two wheels in front and one wheel in the back;

Morgan 3Wheeler directly moved the V-twin air-cooled engine used in a large-displacement American cruiser to his own car, while reliantrobin used a 750ML displacement "general machine", reliantrobin, a three-wheeled car in use, but there are also Triumph motorcycles have also moved this engine to their own motorcycles;

Of course, the biggest difference between the two is that the reliantrobin is a low-priced outrageous cheap car, thanks to Mr. Bean, everyone knows that the British automobile industry has such a "three jumpers" to represent the grassroots of British society, as for the Morgan 3Wheeler, it is a toy for the rich and rich in their spare time.

If necessary, Chen Geng can also list a large number of three-wheeled cars and cars using motorcycle engines to Zhuang Qun, but Zhuang Qun is a little afraid to ask, of course it is not a problem to continue to ask, but if his own question is difficult Chen Geng, it is equivalent to slapping himself in the face.

Does he know what kind of answer Zhuang Qun wants from his mouth? Of course he knows, but in Chen Geng's opinion, knowing is knowing, but why should I give you face? Just because you have a lot of influence in the automotive industry of the Republic? Just because you're the former deputy chief designer of FAW?

Are you kidding?!

"Teacher Zhuang," Chen Geng's expression was very calm: "I know that you are for my good, but our country's automobile industry and other industries are not developed enough, and there is a big gap between the United States and Germany, which are developed countries with the highest industrial level in the world, but I don't think that just because there is a gap between us and foreigners, we will not develop our automobile industry flow, just the opposite, so in this way, the more we should be ashamed and brave, and catch up, and now we are not afraid of backwardness, we go a little more than them every day, Sooner or later, it will catch up with them.

You have been engaged in a lifetime of automobiles, you should know that the automobile is a collection of a country's industrial products, the development of the automobile industry to our country's industrial development can play a great role in stimulating and promoting, in turn, our industrial level has improved, the development of industrial capacity, can also promote the development of our country's automobile industry.

Our country is at a rare crossroads, our automobile industry is also, foreign automobile giants have not yet entered in a big way, once foreign automobile companies our automobile market, our country's automobile industry will be ......"

"That's it!"

Zhuang Qun interrupted Chen Geng's words almost rudely: "You think you know cars? Do you think you can see it? FAW has been engaged in automobiles for so many years, and I understand these truths better than you......"

Hearing this, Chen Geng was completely uninterested in what Zhuang Qun wanted to say next: the old era left too many imprints on him, and he saw the huge gap between our country and foreign countries, so that he completely lost the confidence to catch up in the automobile industry.

You are scared out of your guts, but that doesn't stop me from doing something for my beloved car. Chen Geng secretly made up his mind in his heart.

――――――――――――――――

Also at the same time, there were also two people chatting about Chen Geng and his car dream.

"Comrade Jianguo, sit down," an old man with silver hair but good spirits stretched out his hand to signal to Li Jianguo in the building of the Central Y Military Commission.

"Thank you, chief, I'll just stand." Li Jianguo's legs were tightly clasped together, and he said loudly, and it could be seen that he was a little nervous.

The old man nodded, and he didn't force it: "I came here today to learn from you about the situation of a little comrade, I heard that Chen Geng, a little comrade, has stayed in your department?" What do you think of this little comrade? ”

"Chief, do you know Chen Geng?" Li Jianguo was surprised, he didn't expect that today's chief specially called himself over and asked how much he knew about Chen Geng -- this is completely out of the cracks, right?

"This kid has been very active lately," the old man said with a smile, seeing that Li Jianguo suddenly became nervous, the old man smiled and waved his hand: "Don't think too much, the old man emphasizes the emancipation of the mind, in my opinion, this kid's idea of moving the engine of the Yangtze River 750 to the car is very in line with the emancipation of the mind." ”

Li Jianguo's heart immediately relaxed: It's not a bad thing. He hurriedly said: "Report chief, Comrade Chen Geng has not worked with me for a long time, but from my observation of him, I think Comrade Chen Geng is a very thoughtful young man with a very flexible mind and can realize his ideas. ”

At the same time, his heart was immediately filled with curiosity, Chen Geng was recently tinkering with Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, preparing to develop a family miniature car based on the XJ750 engine with reference to the Fiat 126P, but how could this matter alarm the chief? The chief is so busy with his work, how many major national events are waiting for him to make decisions every day, and such small things can also alarm him?

The old man nodded: "That's why you helped him many times?" ”

Li Jianguo instantly broke out in a cold sweat: The chief knows what he has done?

Chen Geng has never known how much Li Jianguo has helped him behind his back, from the previous military reform to the later Chengfa, if it weren't for Li Jianguo to help behind his back, how could Chen Geng ask Chengfa's comrades to help so easily, I really think that Chengfa's engineers and designers are so worthless?

"I ...... Chief"

He was just about to explain, but the old man waved his hand: "Comrade Jianguo, don't be nervous, you have done a good job, for such capable, thoughtful, and flexible children, we should escort them more." ”

PS: The third update arrived, in addition, the results of looking for Zhuang Qun, everyone didn't expect it, right? (To be continued.) )
