"That's what you see too?" Huo Dongfang said in surprise.

As the director of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, the reason why he insisted on the family mini car project to the superior leaders is because in his opinion Xiangjiang Machinery Factory has solved the two most important three major parts of the vehicle: engine and gearbox, as for the chassis, there are ready-made examples to refer to, which is equivalent to solving.

Chen Geng nodded and said, "Our factory was inspired by the Fiat 126P, right?" ”

"Yes, yes," Huo Dongfang became more and more happy, and nodded again and again: "We are indeed inspired by the 126P, since the power system parameters of the 126P are similar to our XJ750 engine, why can't we move such an engine to the 126P?" ”

Fiat 126P is a model imported from Poland in the form of barter trade in China after the reform and opening up, it is a very representative model in China's automobile market in the 8890s, this car is not big, the length, width and height are not 3129mm, 1327mm and 1335mm, in layman's terms, the overall body size is a few points smaller than the old Alto and the old QQ, and is known as the harmonious name of "small potato" and "big shoes", The Fiat 126P imported to our country is equipped with a 0.6L displacement air-cooled twin-cylinder engine with a maximum power of only 24 horsepower, matched with a four-speed manual gearbox, whether it is the cooling method, power or transmission system is basically the same as the XJ750 engine assembly produced by Xiangjiang Machinery Factory.

As we said earlier, the XJ750 engine mounted on the Yangtze River 750 side three-wheeled motorcycle is different from the traditional highly integrated motorcycle powertrain, and the XJ750 powertrain is infinitely close to the powertrain of the traditional car, the engine and gearbox are separated, rather than the engine and transmission mechanism integrated together like the traditional motorcycle powertrain. If there is any difference from the engine on the Fiat 126P. Probably the engine on the Fiat 126P is an inline twin-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine, while the XJ750 engine is a horizontally opposed twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, in addition, the XJ750 engine is a little backward in technology, and its weight is a little larger, and there is no difference.

Of course, as a cheap national car. The configuration of the Fiat 126P is very low, for example, in order to reduce the cost, it is only equipped with two doors, and the design of the hatchback and three doors makes it a little inconvenient for passengers to enter and exit the second row; For example, if there is no matching air conditioning, it is okay in winter, but you have to experience the feeling of taking a sauna in summer; For example, the suspension system uses leaf spring suspension, which has the lowest cost and least comfort......

But all of this is not a problem!

For people who have just come out of poverty, the significance of having a car of their own is indescribable, and the absence of air conditioning means that a source of failure is reduced, and the comfort of leaf springs is a little worse, but it also means lower costs and the best reliability. The appearance of the inexpensive Fiat 126P solved the desire of some citizens who got rich first to own a private car...... Although the car still needs to find a unit to dock...... In short, as long as you can have a car of your own, all problems are not problems, all problems can be accepted, and the desire and bottom limit of the people are so simple.

The relatively low price of Fiat 126P meets the needs of the people to the greatest extent, so to speak. Xiangjiang Machinery Factory has accurately grasped the needs of the market and consumers, and their plans have great possibilities to be realized.

Huo Dongfang just finished speaking. Wang Damin, chief of the technical section, followed the words and said: "And we have analyzed, the price of a 126P is 5000 yuan, if we use our XJ750 engine and gearbox, and use the braking system on the Yangtze River 750, we are sure to reduce the cost to about 3000 yuan." Leaving the factory at a price of 3,600 yuan/car, the market price is set at between 4,000 yuan and 4,300 yuan, which should be able to attract many car owners who were originally going to buy 126P to buy our car. ”

"Indeed, if the products of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory can provide a price advantage of 700 to 800, the prospects are indeed quite good." Chen Geng agreed with the judgment of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, but because of this, he was a little puzzled: "Speaking of 126P after all, it is imported, our country's foreign exchange reserves are limited, and it is impossible to import these cars without restrictions, this truth is impossible for the leaders not to know, so why don't they allow Xiangjiang Machinery Factory to develop mini-cars with XJ750 engine assembly?" ”

In fact, since last year, the batch of Fiat 126P imported into the country was imported into the country in the form of a flat account of international barter trade, but it did not cost much of the country's foreign exchange, but the first batch of Fiat 126P was put on the market after the market repercussions strongly, and the relevant departments that were stimulated immediately "make persistent efforts", followed by the import of the second batch of products, just with the first batch of Fiat 126P for flat accounts, presumably, this batch is a solid use of the country's foreign exchange reserves, The price has also increased from 5,000 yuan per vehicle in the first batch to 6,000 to 7,000 yuan.

Because of the limited quantity of imports, this batch of cars quickly gave birth to a group of scalpers: as soon as it changed hands, the car could be sold at an increase of 1,000 to 2,000 yuan, and Chen Geng even heard that a car strip was worth 1,500 yuan some time ago.

Because of this, Chen Geng had some malicious speculation in his heart, and the superior leaders did not agree to the mini-car project of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, could it be because of ...... Ha ha......

"What else can it be, money!" As soon as Chen Geng's question came out, Huo Dongfang, whose interest in chatting was seduced, was immediately like a small rape beaten by frost. Taking a hard puff of his cigarette, Huo Dongfang said with a wry smile: "Our Xiangjiang Machinery Factory does not have relevant production equipment, if you want to go on this project, you need to purchase production equipment and organize personnel to survey and map 126P...... The leaders were not optimistic about the project, and the Planning Commission did not agree to give us a production license......"

To put it bluntly, it's all money!

Speaking of this, Huo Dongfang realized that Chen Geng came to him for this project of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, and a look of hope immediately flashed in his eyes: "Manager Chen, you ......"

"Yes, our unit has the production qualification of automobiles," understanding what Huo Dongfang's eyes meant, Chen Geng nodded: "Our unit obtained a full set of 212 jeep drawings from BAIC last year, and also produced a batch of 212 jeeps, which is an enterprise with off-road vehicle production qualifications approved by the state; In addition, the situation of our Runhua Industrial Development Co., Ltd. is somewhat different from the nature of other military-affiliated enterprises, and our Runhua Industrial is a joint-stock enterprise, so we can completely make our own decisions in terms of production autonomy, and we do not have to worry about indiscriminate interference from higher departments. ”

Although the production qualification is not that of Runhua Industrial, but of the Third Ordnance Maintenance Factory, there is nothing wrong with saying that the off-road vehicle production qualification of the Third Ordnance Maintenance Factory is that of Runhua Industrial, based on the relationship between Runhua Industrial and the Third Ordnance Maintenance Factory.

Of course, Huo Dongfang, Wang Damin and Feng Hua didn't know this, so they were excited all of a sudden! Wang Damin and Feng Hua's voices trembled a little: "You ...... Does your unit really have production qualifications? ”

When they came to the capital this time, there were two most important problems that needed to be solved, one was the problem of production qualification, and if this problem was not solved, the cars produced by the Xiangjiang Machinery Factory would not be able to sell in the future; The second, there is the issue of funding, but compared to the second issue.

Compared with the problem of funds, the problem of qualification is the most tricky, there is no production qualification, even if there is a lot of money in hand, Xiangjiang Machinery Factory still has a dry stare at it, but this Runhua Industrial Development Co., Ltd. actually has the production qualification of jeeps? That's great!

Chen Geng said with a smile: "We not only have production qualifications, but also can help solve it in terms of funds." ”

"Can you solve the funding problem?" As the chief engineer, Feng Hua didn't think much, he only knew that as long as the financial problems and production qualification problems were solved, the rest would be all technical problems, and for an engineer, after already having an engine and gearbox, it would not be a problem at all to solve the technical problems of a family minicar with a self-weight of only 600 kg and almost no electronic system.

"That's right," Chen Geng nodded: "And we also have overseas channels, which can import a batch of production equipment with relatively high precision from overseas." ”

"Great! That's great! Feng Hua was overjoyed and said excitedly: "The problem that plagued us now has finally been solved." ”

Huo Dongfang and Wang Damin glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little dignified: a company that can produce motorcycle engines, they have the production qualifications of the whole vehicle, there is no shortage of funds, and they are also optimistic about the market of family mini-cars. Taking a step back, even if they can't solve the problem of the power system, if they offer to purchase XJ750 engines from Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, with the current situation of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, can they still sell it to them?

After thinking about it, the two of them couldn't understand why Chen Geng did this, but the more they couldn't figure it out, the more worried they became. As the director of the factory, Huo Dongfang raised his own questions.
