"You think about it too much, there's nothing to be reluctant to give up, as long as the price is right, it's not bad to sell it for money," Chen Geng frowned, a little incomprehensible: "But what does Toyota do when it buys our design?" Is it going to be used on their Toyota Century? ”

In Chen Geng's impression, Toyota's only D-class car is Toyota's self-styled luxury D-class sedan: Toyota Century, raised his hand to be chosen by their royal family as the royal car, I don't know if it's true, anyway, it's a mess in the world, and Toyota itself put gold on its face and said, "We don't sell to regions outside Japan" - who is fooling? In addition, if I remember correctly, this generation of Toyota Century has not yet reached the time of elimination?

"Toyota Century? Is it the one with the car logo of a pheasant? Old Man Xie asked.

Chen Geng was a little speechless: "Uh...... That's a phoenix, not a pheasant...... I look a little like a pheasant, but the Japanese themselves say it's a phoenix......"

"Our one is called Phoenix, and the little Japanese one is only worthy of a pheasant!" Old Man Xie waved his hand and directly gave the sex: "But the car with a pheasant logo does look a little old and stingy." ”

"It's a little stingy...... Wrong! Thinking of the time of the next renewal of the Toyota Century, Chen Geng's head suddenly flashed with inspiration: "If I guess correctly, Toyota wants our design, they don't plan to give Toyota pheasants...... The century should be intended for another car. ”

"Another car? What car? Old Man Xie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.

β€œlexus! The car logo is an English letter L," the more Chen Geng thought about it, the more sure he became: "It must be prepared for that car, haven't you noticed, that car is a bit similar to our No. 1 car, but the overall temperament is a little worse, and the aura is not as strong as the aura of our No. 1 car." ”

lexus?

Mr. Xie recalled hard that a car logo at Toyota's booth was the English letter L, with a very distinctive two-tone body, and a sedan that looked wide and magnificent.

Without Chen Geng's reminder, Mr. Xie didn't expect it, but now when he heard Chen Geng say this, Mr. Xie immediately made a comparison between the two cars, and he had to admit that yes, the aura of the car was indeed very good, but in terms of aura alone, Toyota's Lexus was indeed not as strong as the aura of the No. 1 car designed by Chen Geng.

Chen Geng continued: "Toyota Century is Toyota's daily self-entertaining luxury car in Japan, different from Toyota Century, this Lexus is Toyota's former president, the current chairman of Toyota's director Eiji Toyoda personally decided to launch, and fully promoted the luxury car project, from the beginning of the determination of high technical indicators, the purpose is to seize the Mercedes-Benz S-class luxury D-class caravan market.

Based on what I've learned, it seems that Toyota intends to use a 'misplaced competition' approach to promote this car around the world, and the general idea is that the Lexus can offer the same equipment and enjoyment as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but at a slightly lower price than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, so as to gain market competitiveness......"

"Wait a minute, how do you know?" Old Man Xie was frightened by Chen Geng's words: "What you said should be Toyota's top secret, right?" ”

If Chen Geng could even know this kind of thing, it would be too terrifying, could it be that Chen Geng still had any sources that he didn't know? Well, it must be like that.

Chen Geng smiled and didn't speak: Can I say that this is what Toyota did after the Lexus LS400 went on the market?

But Old Man Xie immediately reacted: No matter how Chen Geng knew this, and no matter whether Chen Geng had an intelligence source that he didn't know, in short, it was best not to ask about these things.

Old Man Xie immediately said: "I don't ask, and you must not say it...... But hearing you say that, I'm a little sure. Do you mean that the Japanese think that our car is inferior to their Lexus, and they want to buy our design for fear that our car will threaten their car? ”

"The Japanese have great ambitions and expectations for Lexus, and I guess they are not only buying it, but also planning to use it for Lexus."

"......" Old Man Xie was speechless, although Chen Geng said that it was his "guess", but listening to his tone, he knew that he was extremely sure of this. After turning around, things went back to the beginning, and Old Man Xie asked, "Then what do you mean?" Do we sell this design? ”

"Why don't you sell it?" Chen Geng didn't hesitate, and didn't feel distressed at all: "Anyway, we haven't yet launched a luxury D-class car, so we can use this design to exchange something, why don't we change it?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Old Man Xie was speechless again: Although it was designed by you, can you not sell it so neatly?

Forget it, anyway, you designed it, and when it comes to how can it be suitable for making a luxury car, you can take out another set, the old man comforted himself in his heart, but he never had any doubts about Chen Geng's design skills, and now all he cares about is a question: "Cheng, as long as you think it's suitable, then we'll sell it, but how much do you think it's more appropriate?" ”

"We don't want money."

"Huh?"

"We want things that we can't buy with money, like what do you think of a five-axis CNC machining center?"

"Scared!"

Old Man Xie was scared firmly: "Xiao Chen, don't make such a joke, it's a five-axis CNC machining center, our country doesn't know if there is one, this is a national weapon, and the Japanese can't agree to it......"

That's a five-axis linkage CNC machining center, which is known as the jewel in the crown of industry, the price is high to death, the whole republic doesn't know if there is, anyway, I don't know which unit has, but this kind of thing can't be said, maybe which unit is hidden in the depths of the mountains, but who knows this kind of thing? But now Chen Geng actually dares to fight the idea of this five-axis linkage CNC machining center, and Old Man Xie really thinks that Chen Geng is simply crazy.

Chen Geng didn't see it that way, he asked very seriously: "Since the Japanese even dare to sell the nine-axis and five-linkage large-scale gantry bridge CNC turning and milling compound machining center to the Soviets, what do we want a few small and medium-sized CNC machining centers for precision parts processing of engines and gearboxes?" ”

"That's different, the Japanese don't dare," Old Man Xie shook his head vigorously: "Toshiba secretly sold the nine-axis five-linkage CNC machining center to the Soviet Union because of exports, but it was cleaned up by the Americans, with this example, how could the Japanese dare to continue to do this......

Interrupting his words, Chen Geng asked rhetorically: "Old man, let's not say that the relationship between our country and the United States and Japan is different from the relationship between them and the Soviet Union, who did you hear that Toshiba was picked up by the Americans because it secretly sold the five-axis linkage CNC machining center to the Soviet Union?" ”

Chen Geng's rhetorical question made Old Man Xie stunned: "It was reported in the newspapers, and the Americans poked it out themselves last year, and they gave it a name." The Toshiba incident', saying that this Toshiba incident was the most dangerous military sensitive high-tech smuggling case to the security of Western countries during the Cold War, the nine-axis five-linkage CNC machining center that Toshiba secretly sold to the Soviets made the Soviet nuclear submarines control the noise level a lot higher, causing a lot of passivity to NATO and the United States, the underwater listening network of the Americans can no longer listen to the voice of the Soviet nuclear submarine, according to the US government, if you want to recover the losses, you need at least $30 billion to rebuild 30 submarines to re-establish your advantage... …”

"These are the words of the Americans themselves, right?"

"Yes, it was the Americans who said it, is there something wrong?" Old Man Xie asked strangely. Now when it comes to five-axis linkage machining centers, almost this case will be taken as an example, everyone uses this to illustrate how the blockade of technology by the West and the West is, is there anything wrong with this?

"It's a little wrong, because according to a senior official of the U.S. Department of Defense when interviewed by a senior Pentagon official in a U.S. military magazine, the quietness of Soviet submarines was greatly improved in 1979, that is, before Toshiba's nine-axis five-linkage large CNC machining center was smuggled into the Soviet Union."

"Uh......" Old Man Xie was stupid: "What else do you say?" ”

"Well, also, officials of the US Department of Defense mentioned in their report to the House Armed Services Committee that the quietness of Soviet submarines had been greatly improved in the three years before Toshiba sold a nine-axis five-linkage large CNC machining center to the Soviet Union."

"So what?" Old Man Xie felt that his understanding had been subverted: he didn't think that Chen Geng would talk nonsense about this kind of thing, so the question is, what is going on? Did the Americans lie or did the Japanese lie?

"The reason is actually quite simple," Chen Geng said: "Although you are not engaged in nuclear submarines, but you have been engaged in engines all your life, the principle is the same, you should know that the quietness of nuclear submarines is not only improved after the improvement of the propulsion propeller, the quietness of the submarine is a complex system engineering, the improvement of the mechanical structure and accuracy of the atomic furnace, deceleration mechanism, and transmission mechanism is much more important than the improvement of the processing accuracy of the propulsion propeller. I believe that the processing of blades by advanced processing equipment can greatly reduce the noise of submarines, but the silence performance of Soviet submarines is greatly due to Toshiba's four five-axis CNC machining centers, and I think this matter is still a bit verified.

The U.S. government punished Toshiba harshly for this, and I personally prefer it because of Japan's huge trade surplus with the U.S. at the time. ”

"Trade surplus?"

"Yes, after the United States forced Japan to sign the Plaza Accord in 85, the U.S. government was holding back enough energy to shear the sheep on Japan, and was worried that it could not find a suitable excuse and opportunity, but Toshiba stupidly crashed in, and the Americans looked at it: Huh? Toshiba is quite suitable for being a baby.

Then Toshiba and the Japanese were miserable. Speaking of which, Americans are simply drunkards who don't want to drink, and there is no excuse for the crime they want to add. ”

After saying this, Chen Geng on the other end of the phone couldn't help but smack his lips: the Americans cleaned up the Toshiba company, many details actually can't stand scrutiny, Toshiba is a bit of a "trumped-up" grievance, after the Toshiba incident, the United States has a lot of benefits for part-time jobs, not only finally found an excuse to shear the Japanese wool, but also belittled the industrial technology level of the Soviet Union: look at the Soviet Union, the industrial level is actually just like that, and you still have a treasure for my little brother's things......

Is that really the case? Come and think about it, if the Soviet Union's industrial processing capacity was really so unbearable, how could it be able to compete with the Americans in the bipolar struggle from the end of World War II to the present?

So it doesn't make sense.

"......" Old Man Xie was shocked by what Chen Geng said: Nima's original matter can still be interpreted from this perspective?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it makes perfect sense, as for those Soviet officials secretly meeting Toshiba's top officials and the like, aren't they also from the American media?

In this way, what Chen Geng said is really very likely to be true? Is Runhua really sure to get a five-axis machining center from Japan?

Old man Xie, who originally thought that this matter was impossible, instantly became hot in his heart: if Runhua Industry can really have a few five-axis CNC machining centers, the processing level of the engine and gearbox will immediately go up a lot! Coupled with several sets of three-axis and four-axis processing equipment, Runhua Industry's level of finishing is invincible in China, and even in the world, it is considered to be the mainstream level!

"Do you think it's really possible?" Taking a deep breath, Old Man Xie confirmed to Chen Geng again.

Chen Geng: "I don't dare to say that it will work, but I think it is very certain, and I think it is best to finalize it quickly, and the Japanese side must deliver the machine tools and CNC software to us at the end of this year." ”

Hearing Chen Geng's words, Old Man Xie's heart suddenly burst out, he endured it, but he still couldn't stop it, and asked in a low voice: "Why does it have to be delivered at the end of this year?" Could it be that something will happen in the first half of next year? ”

"Well, it's nothing, but this kind of thing is always a long night dream, tell Toyota people, want our design information and authorization, simple, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver."

Hung up the phone, Old Man Xie felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart, although Chen Geng didn't say anything, but the two have been working together for so long, can this kid hide himself?

What the hell will happen? Old Man Xie couldn't find a reason why the relationship between the two sides would suddenly deteriorate: there was no warning, alas...... Forget it, Chen Geng is right, there are many dreams at night, and it is not a bad thing to be fast.

Thinking of the rumor that happened between the Lexusls400 and the Mercedes-Benz W140, Chen Geng couldn't help but have another plan in his heart: "In addition, we have to push Toyota, you ...... it like this" (to be continued.) )
