Volume 2 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 1607 The Americans' Lewd Temptations and National Cars

PS: I accompanied my girlfriend to the grave today. After running several mountains, friends who have stayed in Sichuan know that the mountains of Sichuan, that is really called more than one, when the brothers use their legs to measure it, you will know what Tongtong feels like today...... My back hurts and my legs hurt

――――――――――――――――

That's right, the first foreign military to come to the door was Israel.

The whole world knows that Israel is the son of the Americans, and the Americans' preferential treatment of Israel in various policies is not comparable to that of an American like Japan.

"It's Israel," Zhang Lan frowned, and gently tapped on the table, which was the kid's habitual action when thinking about the problem, "Well, it's Israel, but the smell of the Americans behind it is very strong, if there is no shadow of the Americans behind Israel's actions this time, I'm afraid ...... This is a temptation of the Americans. ”

"Well, that's right." Elaine nodded, "I was a little strange when I just received the cooperation inquiry letter from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, but thinking about the United States behind Israel, there is nothing strange to make people feel strange, but, it's ...... It's just ......," Elaine organized the wording, "it just makes people feel both reasonable and a little unexpected." ”

That's right, even if it makes sense, it's a bit unexpected.

It is reasonable to say that it is because the whole world knows that because of the special national conditions inherited from the history of Israel, they are surrounded by the Arab world, which has extremely strong hostile feelings towards Israel, and if it were not for the support of the Americans all along, I am afraid that Israel, which has not been established for decades, would have perished long ago by the time of the first Middle East war.

Because they are surrounded by the Arab world and the disparity in human resources is extremely large, the Israelis have a strong sense of crisis and attach great importance to the personal safety of their own people, even in high-risk occupations.

When it comes to the importance of the personal safety of their soldiers, and especially how to ensure that soldiers can survive as much as possible in the heat of the battlefield environment, even if they are hit hard, the Israelis have spared no effort!

Under the watchful eye of a powerful enemy, Israel attaches absolutely the highest importance to the defense capability of tanks in the world, and even the Americans cannot compare with them, because the Israelis know very well that Israel, with a population of only 7 million, is too scarce in human resources compared to the hundreds of millions of people in the surrounding Arab world. Therefore, after the Israelis developed their first-generation main battle tank, Merkava-1, the main battle tank developed by the Israelis has always been known for its huge tonnage and heavy defense capability in the sequence of the world's main battle tanks!

Israel's tank, I dare not say that it is the heaviest tonnage among the world's tanks, but it must be one of the heaviest tonnage tanks, in terms of tonnage, and the Americans' M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tanks are on par with the Americans' M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tanks, but in terms of defensive capabilities, compared with the Americans' M1A2 "Abrams" and the British's "Challenger" main battle tanks, the Israeli Merkava 4 is more "resistant to beating".

And the fundamental reason for the weight is: the rain resistance of these tanks is too perverted, and the three technical performance indicators of the tank: firepower, mobility and defense ability, pay attention to a relative balance, but the tanks developed by Israel put defense capability in the first place!

Carrying heavy armor and being able to move freely, and being able to quickly escape for life when necessary, naturally requires the tank to have a "strong" body;

It is said that it is unexpected, because in any case, Israel is also the younger brother of the Americans, and if there is no American Jewish consortium behind Israel's move, I am afraid that no one will believe it, but Israel's excuse is very appropriate, and it seems that no one can say anything. …,

Everyone knows that Israel is surrounded by the Arab world. Among the surrounding countries, there is no national team Israel has any good feelings, and under the huge comparison of human resources around, it is natural for everyone to pay special attention to the lives of its own people, so it is normal for Israel to strengthen its mobility capability in addition to the defensive capability of its own weapons -- although the Merkava 4 main battle tank that has just been unveiled has a maximum output of 1,500 horsepower, its 65-ton weight has also greatly offset the advantages of the Merkava-4 main battle tank.

Compared with the German Leopard 2A6 main battle tank, the two tanks are also 1500 horsepower, the Leopard 2A6 main battle tank has a total combat weight of only 55.15 tons, and the weight of the Merkava 4 has reached 65 tons, 10 tons of weight, the offset of maneuverability is very fatal, but if the 2000 horsepower power system of the Alice Group is adopted, the maneuverability of the Merkava 4 will far exceed the king of tanks: Leopard 2A6!

"So Israel is still not satisfied with the power of the Merkava-4 main battle tank that they just unveiled?" Zhang Lan was a little strange, "What did they say?" Do you want that 1,600 hp fuel cell stack, or do you want a 2,000 hp? ”

"It's a little dissatisfied," Elaine is already a little superstitious and almost worshipful of Zhang Lan's "divine calculation", seeing Zhang Lan say the Israelis again, a trace of inexplicability flashed in the little girl's eyes, "They want to get that 2000 horsepower, 5500 Ox. m of fuel cell power systems. ”

"2000 horsepower?" Tapping lightly on the tabletop, Zhang Lan showed a sneering smile on his face, "Even the 1600 horsepower power of this Israeli is not satisfied?" Hey, Israeli...... Oh no, it's the Americans, the Americans are really ambitious. ”

"The Americans have long since begun to test the electrification propulsion of armored vehicles," Elaine nodded, "and they are well aware of all-electric tanks." In terms of various indicators of power performance, they are not only much better than diesel engines, but also much better than the gas turbines they use today. ”

The M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank currently in service in the United States is equipped with a gas turbine with a power of 1500 horsepower, but the gas turbine of the M1A2 main battle tank is a jujube core power system, and the disadvantages and advantages are equally prominent: the advantages are excellent power response, strong acceleration ability, and light weight; The shortcomings are also terrible: the fuel consumption is outrageous, the cost is more than 1.5 times greater than the fuel consumption of the MB873Ka-501 diesel engine of the same power used in the German Leopard 2A6 main battle tank, and the maintenance cost and average maintenance time are also extremely bad!

Zhang Lan pondered, thinking about how this matter should be decided: there is no doubt that it is certain to cooperate with the Americans and the Israelis, but do you want the 2,000-horsepower power system? Forget it? A lot of words, Zhang Lan didn't want to establish too much technical advantage for them. On the contrary, if the tanks used by Israel, the United States and China are all powered by the same, the mobility of the lighter Chinese Type 99 main battle tank will naturally be more advantageous: the total combat weight of the Type 99 main battle tank is only 55.15 tons, and the dead weight of the Merkava 4 is 67 tons. The total combat weight of the A2 also reached 67 tons, and the difference in weight of 17 tons is no joke.

"Well, reply to them, just say that we can provide them with the maximum output of 1600 hp and the maximum output of 5230 Nm. m. The fuel cell power system with an off-road driving distance of 2,300 kilometers and a set of 2,000 horsepower does not plan to cooperate with foreign countries for the time being in order to protect the interests of our partners. After a while, Zhang Lan finally made a decision. Said to Elaine, "If they agree, they can send someone over to discuss the details of the cooperation, if they don't agree, then forget it." But remember to tell them that the terms of cooperation are higher than the terms of cooperation with the Chinese government, so that they can be mentally prepared and mentally prepared to be slaughtered. ”…,

In the end, Zhang Lan already had a smile on her face.

"By the way, the Israeli Ministry of Defense said in our letter of inquiry for cooperation, if possible. They want to get the technology of our third-generation composite ceramic armor. Suddenly remembering something, Elaine hurriedly said.

The so-called composite ceramic armor technology is a military product in the composite ceramic product series of Alice Group, compared with the traditional draped composite reactive armor system or explosive reactive armor, the composite ceramic armor technology developed by Alice Group is not only more advanced, but also lighter, according to the results of the actual test to conclude that the protection level of the composite ceramic armor is equivalent to the protection level of 1500mm homogeneous cold-rolled steel plate, which is extremely strong to the protection ability, At present, there is no armor-piercing bullet fired by a tank gun in the world that can penetrate through!

So strong? That's right, it's so strong, theoretically, even the German Leopard 2A6 main battle tank and the American M1A2 main battle tank with the strongest armor-piercing ability at present, using the tail of the depleted uranium core to stabilize the shelling armor-piercing projectile, the armor-piercing thickness of the main gun is only about 810mm, even the 125mm smoothbore gun of the Chinese Type 99 main battle tank, which claims to be able to penetrate 960mm homogeneous cold-rolled steel plate, can only cry on the side when facing this defensive capability.

At present, Alice Group has developed to three generations in the technology of composite ceramic armor, the defense capability of the first generation of composite ceramic armor is equivalent to the level of 1050mm homogeneous cold-rolled steel plate, the defense capability of the second generation has reached 1280mm, and the third generation is more perverted, reaching an astonishing 1500mm!

Unless it is the opponent who bombards with a 203mm corpsion-level heavy artillery, but this is impossible, a 203mm legion-level heavy artillery? You are someone else's artillery detection radar is sitting there and looking good? Of course, there is another way to die: it is possible to be shocked to death by the shock wave, but it is definitely not possible to die through the armor.

"Their noses are smart enough." Zhang Lan touched her nose a little depressedly, "I know what they think, but this thing is a little too advanced for them, tell them that the third and second generations should not think about it, but the first generation can be considered." Well, of course, the first generation of composite armor technology can be lifted, go out and announce it, let's just say that our first generation of composite ceramic armor systems began to be sold to the outside world. However, only the finished product is sold, and the technology is not transferred. ”

"Okay, I'll get back to them right away." Elaine nodded, her pretty little face was also full of smiles, and there was nothing more pleasant than the sad face when she watched others being slaughtered.

――――――――――――――――

Hey, Alice actually agreed to the Israelis' request, hey?! The countries that had been silently waiting to see the jokes of the Israelis were all dumbfounded when they heard that Israel would cooperate with the United States and the Alice Group on the matter of fuel cell power system systems for main battle tanks: is the rumor of feelings true? Well, I just don't know if the rumor that Alice Group will sell composite ceramic armor systems to the outside world is true.

Facts have proved that none of these rumors are false, because subsequently, Israel and the United States immediately proved this, they will purchase a certain number of Alice Group's composite ceramic armor system, to replace the possibility of the current use of explosive reactive armor, if it is confirmed that the defense capability of this composite ceramic armor system is indeed better than the currently widely used foreign monster explosive reactive armor system, the US Army does not rule out the possibility of large-scale procurement.

The militaries of the two countries have already laughed in their hearts: although it is a pity that they did not buy the third generation, but the first generation is enough, which is equivalent to the defense capability of 1050mm homogeneous cold-rolled steel plate. …,

As if to slap the hesitant countries, while they were still hesitating to test the waters behind the ass of the Americans, the Chinese were the first to react: China would also buy a batch of composite ceramic reactive armor systems for the evaluation of defense performance.

The hidden meaning behind this statement, as long as you are not a fool, everyone understands it: it seems that one of the most powerful countries in the world, one of the largest developing countries in the world, is very optimistic about this ceramic armor of Alice Group!

After a symbolic expression of dissatisfaction with the Alice Group's move to sell this power system to the U.S. military, there was no further movement.

"What are they not satisfied with?" Zhang Lan looked unhappy, "In the past, they were drooling when they looked at the Americans' technology, but there was no way to do it again, but now they can actually use the same thing as the US military in a certain link." In the case of similar strength, it is naturally the time to test the wisdom of war. I'm afraid that when they know that the Americans want to buy this technology from us, they are already smiling on their faces. ”

"But ......" Elaine looked at Zhang Lan with a worried face. ,

"Not so much," Zhang Lan interrupted Elaine's words, and sighed helplessly, "I know what you want to say, don't forget, theoretically we are still a company with roots in the United States, and there are some things that we still have to take care of." "Constrained! That's the constraint! Zhang Lan yelled in her heart unhappily!

"But speaking of which, anyway, our cooperation with the Chinese side is confidential, and what we have done in the cooperation, as long as we don't say anything, no one else wants to know, right? A lot of words" Zhang Lan squeezed her eyebrows at Elaine's girl: This method, Lao Tzu just came up with it.

"Huh?" His face was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted immediately, pursing his lips and laughing: The young master is still as bad as ever! However, just like the young master said, as long as the young master doesn't say it, they don't say it, who knows what we're doing here? Moreover, the country seems to like to make a fortune in silence.

"But, look, as long as we give the Americans a little sweetness, there will be no one chirping there anymore." Looking at the reports in the newspapers that were all praising the cooperation between the Alice Group and the U.S. government, Zhang Lan looked proud, "Seeing these damn guys holding back and eating what they pulled out, I feel much more refreshed!" ”

――――――――――――――――

"Damn! Damn it! "George W. Bush, who has been very depressed since taking office, is depressed again this time, and he is angry again in the office, and the reason for his anger is not because of anything else, but because of the Alice Group!

This is a little strange, since the Alice Group has already started to cooperate with the US military, Bush Jr., as the president of the United States, should be happy to see it, so why are you still depressed there?

Ya does have a reason to be depressed: because the Alice Group did not give George W. Bush a chance to publish at all!

Bush Jr., who had suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Alice Group for a while, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and waited for the proposal of those guys in the Department of Defense to be rejected by Alice, and then he could justifiably use the power in his hands to deliberately target the Alice Group -- the words in Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" simply spoke to Bush Jr.'s heart.

But in between, Bush Jr. has no way to vent: although the Alice Group has cooperated with the Chinese military, this does not mean anything, the two sides have begun to cooperate for a long time, and the Alice Group has not said that it will not cooperate with others, so Bush Jr. cannot vent even if he has a fire in his stomach: against the Alice Group, if you are not careful, you will lose everything! …,

Ya is waiting for an excuse, an excuse to clean up the Alice Group, with this excuse, he can follow the opinions of the big bosses behind him, ruthlessly clean up the Alice Group's actions in fuel cell vehicles, and if he can, he can even beat the Alice Group!

After a long struggle, George W. Bush finally waited for the excuse that the Alice Group refused to cooperate with the Department of Defense on the all-electric propulsion of the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank.

But what made Bush Jr. depressed was that the Alice Group didn't give him this opportunity at all, and actually replied at the first time! This reply doesn't matter, poor George W. Bush was almost played with internal injuries!

The big bosses behind Bush Jr. were also speechless, and they didn't expect that the Alice Group would be so slippery that they wouldn't leave them a chance at all!

"Someday! Someday I'll clean you up! "George W. Bush swears by the world's gambling curse! It looks like the big bad wolf in the cartoon who vowed to catch that nasty rabbit.

"I know that Bush Jr. wants to deal with us, he has no choice, who makes him the spokesperson of several major interest groups in the United States in the foreground," Zhang Lan looked very happy, crossed his legs beautifully, and asked for the next bite of the apple without regard to the image, "But as long as we don't make mistakes and don't give them a chance to grab our pigtails, even if he vomits blood angrily, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"I think if this development continues, this guy really has the possibility of being angry and vomiting blood." Alice is quite sorry for the unlucky boy Bush, who has been tossed miserably since he came to power.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, if you die, you'll die, anyway, the president of the United States will grab a lot of money in the United States, and if you die, you will choose another one, this problem is not a problem, and you don't have to worry about the Americans." Fiercely biting on the apple, Zhang Lan said fiercely.

"That's just as well!" A few girls secretly laughed, the United States is just that, the death of a president will basically not have much impact on the development of the country, according to the constitutional order of accession, the vice president can become president immediately. Some people also asked, what if the vice president also died? What can I do?

The vice president is dead? This is also easy to do, and the third successor is the Minister of Defense. So we don't have to worry about the Americans, and even the Americans themselves are already quite proud to say that with the perfect judicial system of the United States, even if a dog stays in the position of president of the United States, the dog can run the country very well -- because he doesn't have to run the country at all, everything just follows the system.

"Little master, someone from FAW Group is here, saying that he wants to see you." When the family was chatting happily, Elaine walked in and said to Zhang Lan.

"Someone from FAW Group? What are they coming to do? It seems that I don't need to intervene in the various matters of cooperation, right? Quite a few words" Zhang Lan is a little strange.

"It's not the part that cooperates with us, it's the people from the FAW Group Hongqi Automobile Company, and looking at what they mean, it seems to be about Hongqi cars." Elaine hesitated for a moment and said.

"Someone from the Hongqi car?" Zhang Lan was shocked, "What are they doing here?" Do you say ......"

"If you don't want to see them, do you want me to say no for you?" Zhang Lan seemed to be a little hesitant, Elaine hurriedly said.

"No," Zhang Lan shook his head and stood up, "I'm curious about what these guys want to do this time who have tossed all the things that Lao Tzu left behind, and even the old ones are about to run out of food?" ”

As a pirated "car designer" and a car enthusiast, Zhang Lan is naturally no stranger to the Hongqi brand, and it is estimated that the vast majority of people in China will not be unfamiliar with this top car brand in China. …,

Hongqi car is a well-known name in China, the word "Hongqi" has far exceeded the meaning of a car brand, too many historical events in New China are related to the "Hongqi" car, in the hearts of countless Chinese people, it has a position that other brands can not replace.

Since the 60s, the Hongqi car has been perfected day by day, and it has been prescribed as a special car for heads of state above the vice minister level and a courtesy car for foreign affairs.

That's right! Whether it is Lincoln and Cadillac, or BMW Mercedes-Benz, or Rolls-Royce, none of them can compare with it in the modern political history of China and the position in the hearts of the people.

Needless to say, the scenery and sacredness of the red flag are clear to anyone who was born before the mid-eighties, but after the reform and opening up, the red flag, which previously had a sacred status in the minds of the people, was dismounted. In 1981, with an approval document, the "national car" that had been produced for 23 years was discontinued.

Hongqi, China's first car, fell from the pinnacle of infinite glory in 1981, and the reason for the dismount is simply comical and ridiculous now: "Hongqi" was discontinued because of the so-called high fuel consumption, high cost and low production.

It's ridiculous! Such a Hongqi car, which has a solemn and sacred status and has completely elevated a car from a means of transportation to a sacred cultural symbol, can not be measured by the so-called cost, fuel consumption and output at all, and was discontinued for such a ridiculous reason!

At this point, China completely stopped the production of its own cars. Up to that time, the country has produced a total of 1,540 cars of this brand in more than 20 years, and what is even more sad is that with the disembarkation of Hongqi, a series of advanced automobile technologies developed by Hongqi cars before the reform and opening up: large-displacement engine technology, overall safety armor technology, perfect gearbox technology, chassis technology, drive axle technology, transmission system technology and even run-flat tire technology, just disappeared without a trace with the disembarkation - although the whereabouts are unknown, But who knows which loser thing was sold to a foreigner?

Hongqi sedan, the proudest car brand of the Chinese people, has been in a slump since 1981, FAW in the 90s after the Hongqi in the shape has always been able to get rid of the shadow of the old Audi model, in technology is also relying on foreign technology, Hongqi Mingshi is to change a car logo Audi 100, and then installed an engine produced with Chrysler technology; The so-called Hongqi Century Star is not something made by itself, an Audi 200 is replaced with a car logo, and a cheaper Nissan engine is replaced, which has become the pride of the so-called Chinese people: Hongqi Century Star.

The charm of the national car back then has now been tossed almost nothing by these losers who sell Ye Tian's heart, and the demeanor of the red flag has also been greatly reduced! What people miss is the "big red flag" that had Chinese characteristics and recorded the history of New China before the 80s of the 20th century.

Although the government has finally realized the importance of having its own brand in recent years, no matter what, the national car of the year is gone, and perhaps the Hongqi sedan is more of a good memory worth recalling.

Since it was the people from Hongqi Car Company who took the initiative to come to him, Zhang Lan could already roughly guess what these guys were thinking: reviving Hongqi Car, a car brand of Chinese people!

But if you want to revive the "Red Flag" brand, how easy is it?! The things carried on the four words "Hongqi car" are too heavy, and it is difficult to satisfy the Chinese people!

"Do you want to reject them?" Xiao Chenxi, who also understands the history and status of the "Hongqi" car in the minds of the Chinese people, and also understands Zhang Lan's feelings for the "Hongqi car" brand, softly asked Zhang Lan's opinion, "This is a thankless thing, no one remembers you if you do it well, and if you mess up, you will be the scapegoat." If they really want to revive the Red Flag brand, it's fine, but these guys are just a bunch of bureaucrats engaged in political speculation, and there is no need to take that risk. ”…,

"Now I want to revive the brand, what happened?" Compared with Xiao Chenxi's peace, Alice looked a little indignant, the little girl was obviously very dissatisfied with these guys who looked more like bureaucrats than businessmen, and gritted her teeth when she spoke, "A bunch of goddamn bureaucrats who look like bureaucrats more than businessmen, and have the profession of businessmen." Retribution, back then, your Lao Tzu took your grandfather's things and tossed hard, you Lao Tzu was tossed and cool, but now it's your guys' turn to pay off the debt, the heavens are clear, and the retribution is not happy. ”

Damn, why do I sound a little "not to report, the time has not come"? Zhang Lan was a little depressed: But it is not wrong to say that these guys are more like bureaucrats than businessmen, these guys were originally a group of bureaucrats who engaged in political speculation.

"Let's see," Zhang Lan shook her head with a wry smile, "You know I can't refuse this idea, but you can rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who shouts two slogans like national righteousness, I just say, 'Okay, leave it to me, I'm willing to do anything for the country and the nation', if you see that they are really just political speculation, I will tell them what kind of result it is to use the reverse scales of the Chinese people to engage in speculation." ”

Just seeing the people in the living room, Zhang Lan was stunned, among the two people who came, one of them actually knew each other! This guy is Xu Jian, the chairman and party secretary of FAW Group, who has been serving as the executive deputy general manager of FAW Group, a member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and the vice chairman of FAW Car Co., Ltd. has dealt with this guy before, and Zhang Lan is no stranger to this guy.

The other, if I remember correctly, was his secretary. Well, it's the male secretary.

Strange, after seeing Xu Jian, the guy who came to talk to him, Zhang Lan frowned slightly: Shouldn't this guy have become a member of the party group of the provincial government and assistant to the governor in November 03? Why are you still staying in FAW now? Could it be that this guy was affected by his own butterfly wings? No, as soon as this idea came out, it was immediately suppressed by Zhang Lan: With this guy's background, this thing is impossible.

"Mr. Zhang, hello, I am glad to see you!" Seeing Zhang Lan walking out of it, Xu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Mr. Xu, I am glad to meet you." Zhang Lan also rushed forward with a smile on her face, with a smile like a spring breeze, which made people feel very happy, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Mr. Xu was ......here" Speaking of this, Zhang Lan's heart moved, and asked tentatively, "Uh, Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Xu should have his eyes raised now, right?" Quite a few words"

Well? A trace of surprise flashed in Xu Jian's eyes, he didn't expect that the news of his job transfer had reached Zhang Lan's ears, and he didn't seem to be qualified to let this "prince" remember, right? Quite a few words can be said...... Xu Jian's heart suddenly flashed with a bad feeling.

Xu Jian, who was born in a red ** family, of course knows that if your identity and status are not remembered by the people above, but unfortunately they are remembered, it usually does not mean good news.

However, this Xu Jian is obviously also very human, and after the surprise in his eyes flashed, he held Zhang Lan's hand and smiled slightly, "That's really a coincidence, I just received a notice from the provincial government about the transfer of work, and I am sorting out the work at hand." However, after the job transfer, my work here is mainly to coordinate the communication and coordination between the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government of Jilin Province and the same Automobile Group, and the focus of the work is still on the side of FAW and the provincial government, just in name. ”

This guy seems to be suspicious, and yes, children from this kind of family have basically been educated since childhood. …,

"Aren't you really cooperating with a few big brothers, a friend of your group and I have talked about Mr. Xu's job transfer." Zhang Lan explained slightly, although he is not afraid of enemies, no one wants someone to stumble behind his back, right?

So that's it! Xu Jian nodded, and the doubts in his heart were gone: this makes sense, although his job transfer is not a secret, but before he leaves, no one is qualified to know, but it is not surprising that those guys who came to negotiate with Alice Group knew about this matter and mentioned it in passing.

"Mr. Xu, can you tell me how FAW Group has developed the Hongqi car brand over the years," Zhang Lan's heart moved, pretending to be curious and asked, "I'm personally interested in this." ”

"Of course," Xu Jian was also happy in his heart, thinking about moving the topic here, this opportunity came, if he could leave a good impression on this kid at this time, the possibility of success in this matter would be much greater. Thinking of this, Xu Jian shook his spirit, "When it comes to revitalizing the brand of Hongqi car, we must start from the historical origin of why we want to revitalize the brand of Hongqi car." ”

Hongqi has always existed as a "national car", and these two words have gone far beyond the meaning of a car brand, which contains the expectations of Chinese for national self-improvement and the rise of China's automobile industry. We will not mention the mistakes we have made for the time being, but we will only say that since the mid-90s, we at FAW Group have made countless tremendous efforts to revitalize Hongqi Car, the pride of the Chinese people. ”

However, it is precisely because of this that Hongqi has carried too many political factors in its development, resulting in the listing for many years, the brand positioning has always been hovering between "national car" and "national car", and it has been evenly used in the taxi market, high-end official car market, and family car market. The final result is that Hongqi is not regarded as a "national car", and it is far from the image of "national car" in the minds of the Chinese people. In recent years, sales have been declining until they have fallen silent, almost forgetting that they exist. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jian secretly observed Zhang Lan's expression, and saw that Zhang Lan seemed to be listening very attentively, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: It seems that this kid is not very good, it seems to be very easy to fool.

Although he has highly estimated Zhang Lan's ability, Xu Jian, who was born in a red family, actually doesn't look down on the Zhang family, a peasant family equivalent to the nouveau riche...... In fact, all along, the Zhang family has given the impression that it is basically the same, just a lucky farmer who has been stained with Alice's light.

The trace of disdain in Xu Jian's eyes was not hidden from Zhang Lan, who seemed to be listening very carefully, and snorted coldly in his heart: This kid, the purpose of coming this time seems to be really to conduct a political speculation, and I want to step on my shoulder, I hope you won't fall down and fall half to death.

"We admit that we have taken some detours and wrong roads on the road of reviving Hongqi cars, but we believe that this is a valuable lesson for us in the road of revitalizing Hongqi cars. Hongqi car is the most valuable property of our FAW Group, and the Party Central Committee and our FAW Party Committee are highly concerned about Hongqi car! To this end, we at FAW Group have made many efforts to revive the Hongqi brand. Including buying out the intellectual property rights of Audi 100 and developing various products of "Little Red Flag"; In cooperation with Ford, the 'Big Red Flag' project was launched, and in cooperation with Toyota, we are preparing to launch a new model that is technically competitive with the Alice 6 Series sedan and FAW Toyota Crown. ”

However, what FAW never expected, the revival efforts that took a lot of money not only did not open up the situation for Hongqi, but instead made its R&D system and design concept disappear along with the dream of joint venture cooperation. The ability of independent development has not improved with the progress of the times, which is the sadness of China's automobile industry. ”

"What's more fatal is that the lack of core technology makes Hongqi at this time an assembly of foreign-funded technology. Due to the lack of talents, funds, R&D capabilities and equipment, Hongqi, which is too dependent on foreign parties, has fallen into the dilemma of unsustainable follow-up products. It can be used as a footnote that the Mingshi and Century Star series sedans that have been launched represent a development direction of Hongqi, while the big Hongqi produced in cooperation with Ford Motor represents another direction. The contradiction between the two has become a chasm in front of the red flag. Technological deficiencies have widened the gap. ”……,
