Chapter 36 Anti-lock braking system
Luo Yuanmin and the others were naturally very interested in dealing with the newly mentioned anti-lock braking system, but Fu Xin didn't have time to explain, because Andreas and Ram and others had already come to the front.
Next, Luo Yuanmin and others were invited by Ram to the conference room of the Si Bandu factory, and the two sides had a fierce confrontation over the introduction of a motorcycle production line by the Chinese side.
Ram obviously received instructions from Raysef, and in terms of price, he did not give in at all, biting the amount of 11 million US dollars, and refused to let go at all, as if he had settled Luo Yuanmin and others.
In fact, Ram on the side of the Si Pandu factory really settled on Luo Yuanmin and others, as if they had already inquired clearly, what was the bottom line of Luo Yuanmin and others.
11 million US dollars, this price, Luo Yuanmin and others can naturally accept it, but accept it is acceptable, but it can be a little less, who would not want to?
"Mr. Ram, the opinion on our side is to accept your price of 11 million dollars, but you have to transfer your anti-lock braking system to us." Fu Xin said very firmly.
"Anti-lock braking braking system? That's the technology on the car, what are you going to do? Do you still want to introduce a car production line? I can explain this in advance, the introduction of automobile production lines, you have to go to our company's board of directors to negotiate, I can't make the decision. Ram said suspiciously.
"It seems that BMW has not yet installed the anti-lock braking system on the motorcycle, but it just so happens that you don't have this idea, so naturally you don't know his benefits." Fu Xin thought in his heart.
The so-called anti-lock braking system, the English abbreviation is ABS, the full name is anti-lock_braking_system, a anti-lock braking system can be installed on any car with hydraulic brakes.
It is the use of a rubber airbag in the valve body, when the brake is pressed, the brake oil pressure is given, which is filled into the valve body of ABS, and the airbag uses the air compartment in the middle to return the pressure to make the wheel avoid the locking point.
Its advantage is that when the wheel is about to reach the next locking point, the pressure of the brake oil makes the airbag repeat the action, so that it can act 60~120 times in one second, which is equivalent to non-stop braking and relaxation, that is, similar to the mechanical "point brake".
Therefore, the ABS anti-lock braking system can avoid the loss of direction and wheel slippage during emergency braking, so that the wheels are not locked when braking, and the tires are not rubbed against the ground at a point, so as to increase the friction and make the braking efficiency reach more than 90%, and at the same time can reduce brake consumption and extend the service life of brake drums, discs and tires twice.
Among them, vehicles equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system can reach 80 to 90 percent on dry asphalt roads, 10 to 30 percent on rainy roads, and 15 to 20 percent on snowy roads.
The anti-lock braking system has this excellent surname, and BMW's technicians will naturally not ignore their motorcycle products, and in 1988, BMW used this technology for the first time in the world to install it on motorcycles.
In Fu Xin's previous life, I knew that before he crossed over, BMW was still the motorcycle manufacturer with the most extensive application of this technology. Among all motorcycle manufacturers in the world, only all models under the name of BMW are equipped with this ABS anti-lock braking system.
Fu Xin translated Ram's words to Luo Yuanmin and others, and after Luo Yuanmin heard it, he immediately showed joy, and thought to himself: "This Fu Xin, if you really have the ability, can find an entry point from here and let the other party's car product join in." ”
Immediately, Luo Yuanmin said: "Yes, Mr. Ram, we are very interested in your automobile production line, I don't know if you can give us this opportunity." ”
After listening to Luo Yuanmin's words, Fu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this was Luo Yuanmin and others who made up their own brains, but Luo Yuanmin said it, and there was also a translator on Ram's side, so Fu Xin had no choice but to make mistakes and truthfully translate Luo Yuanmin's words.
Luo Yuanmin's meaning, Fu Xin naturally understands that if BMW's automobile production line can be introduced into China, it will definitely be a great achievement, and if it can be successful, there is no possibility that the province will not agree.
Moreover, Xijiang Province is not without automobile production enterprises, Xijiang Automobile Factory, currently able to produce Jinggangshan brand automobile factory, since 1968 the first batch of 12 Jinggangshan brand cars off the assembly line, has been established for more than 10 years.
Perhaps Xijiang Automobile Factory makes you unfamiliar, but in March next year, that is, in March 1985, a formal contract was signed between Xiqi Jiangqi Automobile Factory and Isuzu Automobile Co., Ltd.: to introduce the NHR542 double-row seat 1.25-ton light vehicle of Isuzu Company by means of technology introduction and combination of technology and trade.
Then, in April 1993, Xijiang Automobile Factory held 75% of the shares, and Isuzu Company and Itochu Trading Co., Ltd. each held 12.5% of the shares and changed their names to Jiangling Group Group. The pickup trucks produced by Jiangling Group, although they are not much better, are at least well-known in the domestic market.
Therefore, for Tay Giang Province, it is not that there are no workers who produce automobiles, but that there is a lack of technology to produce automobiles! If BMW's car production technology can be introduced, it will definitely be a great thing!
"If we can get ahead of Isuzu and introduce BMW cars as soon as possible, then in the future, the domestic auto market will not be dominated by those surnamed Neng Dad!" Fu Xinmei thought with a smile.
Although Fu Xin and others thought so, Ram did not cooperate, because he couldn't say anything at all on the BMW car. "I'm sorry, Mr. Roh, but I'm not in charge of the production of cars at Bavarian Maschinenfabrik AG, I can't say anything about it, but if you want to introduce our car production line, I can introduce you to the top of our company," said Ram. ”
After seeing Fu Xin translate his words to Luo Yuanmin with some embarrassment, Ram continued: "Mr. Luo, I still don't understand why you fancy our company's anti-lock braking system. You're here to buy a motorcycle line from us, not a car line. ”
Seeing the burning eyes of Luo Yuanmin and others, Ram had no choice but to admit, "Okay, I admit that you are interested in our automobile production line, but you can't bring the technology on the car to the negotiation, which makes it difficult for me to do, really." ”
Ram's tone of voice was obviously quite helpless and disappointed. He really can't say anything about BMW's car production, and now the other party has introduced the anti-lock braking system on the car into the negotiations, doesn't this add trouble to him?
"If you want to introduce our company's automobile production line, you can tell me directly, I can introduce you to our company's senior management, but adding this anti-lock braking system, isn't it embarrassing for me? Something that I could have called the shots of, now having a third party join in adds to the variables! Ram may have felt that it was not convincing enough, and added.
"Listening to Ram's tone, I should have received instructions from Raysef that as long as we can pay enough money, the motorcycle production line can be obtained." Fu Xin had a number in his heart.
Luo Yuanmin and others are still making up in their minds, thinking that Fu Xin is going to bring up the topic of automobile production lines, but now that the other party is obviously unwilling to do so, Luo Yuanmin is naturally ready to give up, automobile production lines, you can talk about it separately!
Luo Yuanmin was about to speak, but Fu Xin was the first to speak, and said to Ram in German: "Mr. Ram, I think you misunderstood. Don't you think that installing an anti-lock braking system on a motorcycle can greatly increase the surname of the motorcycle? ”
Ram shook his head and said, "Fu, you're smart, really. But this idea of yours was put forward before our company, but, in the end, it failed! Because motorcycles are different from automobiles, the front wheels of motorcycles need to maintain steering and ensure that the vehicle remains in an upright position. Therefore, it is not realistic to directly introduce the anti-lock braking system on the car. ”
Fu Xin smiled when he heard Ram's words, "Mr. Ram, I have a way to solve this problem." ”
"Fu, if you can help us solve this problem, then I can promise you on behalf of our company that you can use the anti-lock braking system installed on the motorcycle for free."
Fu Xin euphemistically conveyed Ram's words and how he knew how to solve the problems encountered by BMW, but did not master the technology of BMW's anti-lock braking system, and then asked for their opinions.
Immediately, Luo Yuanmin and the others had a headache in an instant, because the technology was in Fu Xin, and Fu Xin was a supernumerary! It's a bit too much for you to ask him to hand over the technology for free.
Luo Yuanmin thought about it for a while, and whispered in Fu Xin's ear: "Fu Xin, you can make your own decision on this matter!" If you're willing to break it, that's good, because we can not only get an advanced technology, but also get the favor of BMW. If you don't want to break it, we have nothing to lose, this trip out, we have already overfulfilled the task! ”
"This Governor Luo should want me to break it, from his point of view, if I break it, he can get a lot of benefits. In addition, this bit of trouble can't trap BMW for many years! Thinking of this, Fu Xin made a decision in his heart.
"Mr. Ram, I thought about it for a while, and I would like to tell you that you should also know about my situation, so you should treat it as a free gift between friends!"
Fu Xin continued: "Mr. Ram, in fact, I think the reason why your BMW company did not succeed is because you took into account the center of mass of the motorcycle. ”
"Centroid?" Ram was a little surprised, but more often thoughtful. He's also a tech-savvy person!
"Have you considered the CBS front and rear braking system?" Seeing that Ram was thoughtful, but still confused, Fu Xin asked.
Ram nodded.
Fu Xin said: "Then I can make it clear." A motorcycle is different from a car in that it has a short wheelbase, so the center of mass is positioned higher than a car. Therefore, when braking, the position of the center of mass drifts forward greatly. As a result, the front wheels require more braking force to brake the motorcycle smoothly. So you just need to consider the center of the motorcycle, separate the brakes between the front and rear wheels of the motorcycle, and install the anti-lock braking system on the motorcycle. ”
Hearing Fu Xin's explanation, Ram showed excitement, then bowed deeply to Fu Xin, and said excitedly: "Fu, thank you so much." Mr. Reseff was right, I had a windfall. ”
PS: I broke my promise, sorry! No. 23 owes 7 chapters, triple is 21 chapters, 24 owes 2 chapters, triple is 6 chapters, adding up to 27 chapters, to apologize, let's make it whole, now I owe 30 chapters. I'll try to be clear in 2013. If you owe one to pay three updates, stop it temporarily, otherwise the book won't be finished until the finale! (To be continued.) )
