Chapter 258: Two cars are being developed
This recruitment work can be said to be going very smoothly, after all, Huayang Power is a well-known enterprise in the country, and the salary is good, and the research environment is naturally more needless to mention.
Therefore, it only took a dozen days of hard work for Huayang Power to find an electronic automation engineer composed of about 100 people, as well as a special team for lithium battery research and development.
Originally, Jin Xiaoqiang wanted them to directly start this project, but considering that at present, there is still a blank in China in the area of hybrid vehicles, lithium batteries, and electric vehicle body electrical automation.
Therefore, he had to invite Li Qiming, who was studying the miniaturization of ECOBOOST on the other side, and Peter, who had been in contact with hybrid vehicles in Europe and was currently concentrating on the K series, to invite them to explain the current research trend of hybrid vehicles to these new engineers, as well as the "movement" principle of hybrid vehicles.
Fortunately, these two people also gladly agreed, and when Li Qiming learned that this team of engineers was specially prepared for the development of hybrid vehicles, he was even more excited.
After all, when it was in the United States, it was engaged in new energy vehicles, but at that time, the Americans chose many solutions, but in the end, GM insisted on liquid hydrogen fuel cell technology.
As a result, after more than 20 years of research, Huā spent billions of dollars, but there was still no result, but the hybrid car on his side stood out and performed well in the market.
In the end, Li Qiming, who was treated by Tianhuā and felt hopeless about research, chose to resign from GM and returned to China to work.
He has been working in Huayang Power for more than two years, but he has been arranged to engage in the research and development of various engines.
Now Jin Xiaoqiang began to work on the research of hybrid vehicles, which made Li Qiming feel that he had hope, and now his main task is to miniaturize the ECOBOOST engine as soon as possible, and then turn to this group to lead these new engineers to engage in hybrid vehicle research.
And Peter is also very satisfied with Jin Xiaoqiang's initiative, although he is not like Jin Xiaoqiang, he has such a deep understanding of future generations, but as a person engaged in the automotive industry, that does not want to be able to make new breakthroughs in the field of new energy?
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't pay attention to it so much, and now among these engineers, he is most interested in this Bin Xinwei, and he is very interested in this person's background.
I have worked in the United States, and I have worked in the battery research institute in Tianjin, you must know that the conditions in Tianjin are much better than on their side, although Huayang Power is also wealthy, but now compared with the Tianjin Battery Research Institute, they can be said to be still poor and white, and they don't even have a decent battery laboratory!
And after all, it is a national-level research unit, and the welfare of the employees in it can be said to be quite good, but this person actually gave up such a good job to come to Nanyang, and his age is not young, but he must be dragging his family, at this age, dare to make such a decision, of course Jin Xiaoqiang is interested in him!
"Engineer Bin, I really want to know, why would you give up such good conditions to come to our Huayang Power?" At lunchtime, Jin Xiaoqiang and Bin Xinwei met by chance in the cafeteria, but Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help it and finally asked this question.
"Huh. …,
Bin Xinwei's smile was very bitter, and he sat down opposite Jin Xiaoqiang with a plate.
"Hey! To tell you the truth, Mr. Jin, I have been working in Tianjin for several years, and the welfare benefits there are really good, and the work is also very stable. When I was in the Oak Ridge Laboratory in the United States, because I was from the Celestial Empire, I was not allowed to interfere in many core projects, and only let me do some leftover work, and finally I resigned in anger and returned to China. But after returning to our domestic laboratory, I found that the reality is completely different from what I imagined, the big leader in the scientific research institute is a political official, he doesn't know much about technology, he doesn't know what is the positive and negative electrodes of lithium batteries, but he knows that he must not make mistakes, because that will affect his future. Therefore, a group of laboratory staff have had a lot of assumptions and conjectures, and even done a lot of computer simulation experiments, but they have not been able to apply for funds to set up a project to do experiments, why? Just because the leader is afraid that if the experiment is not successful, he will be said to be a waste of funds and unable to produce results, which will affect his future! In the past three years, I have done no more than 20 experiments with my own hands, and the opinion of the leader, that is, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, each of our experiments is to follow the ass of foreigners, what results they have found, our job is to follow them, to do these experiments from scratch, and then verify, this is our job! ”…,
Bin Xin said to Jin Xiaoqiang with a wry smile, his smile was unusually bitter at this time, and Jin Xiaoqiang also understood a lot.
For so many years, the country's scientific research has come to a standstill, and it cannot but be said that it has a lot to do with the management of these political officials, and in all walks of life, it is always a layman who is a leader and an insider.
What years have you been doing, and you are still in charge of politics, so that you can achieve fart scientific research results? Ay! It is no wonder that now, with a population of more than one billion in the Celestial Empire, there is still no winner of the Nobel Prize in Science.
"I have done many simulation experiments on the anode material of silicon oxide batteries, but the above has not given me the approval of experimental funds, so I felt that I could not wait, so I decided to come out and look for opportunities. Even if this experiment does not succeed in the end, I will still persevere for my dream. Bin Xinwei said to Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite, with a little bit of sadness.
"Haha, don't worry, as long as you get here, there's nothing to worry about, Engineer Bin, the engineer I invited in the past few days, you have heard the lecture for you very clearly! The reason why we Huayang Power invited so many talents this time is to be able to achieve results on hybrid electric vehicles, this time I plan to set up a lithium battery research laboratory, how much money I have to invest, will definitely provide you engineers with the best experimental environment, how about? Do you have the confidence to help me win this lithium battery project. ”
In the past few days in Huayang Power, the completely different working atmosphere I heard and felt, as well as Jin Xiaoqiang's bold words, made the opposite Bin Xinwei also moved.
"Yes! I am very confident, Mr. Jin, you can rest assured, as long as you can give me a good scientific research environment, I will definitely help you get lithium batteries out. "Haha, that's good, it's up to you then!"
The annual two sessions are going to be held again, and after the two sessions, the General Office of the Central Committee will introduce a new standard for the procurement of official vehicles.
This is a major event that almost every automobile company has to pay attention to every year in recent years, in fact, there are no special regulations on the procurement of official cars, but it has become formal in recent years.
Every year, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will review and publish the draft, give the opinions to the ministries and commissions under the so-called solicitation, and then integrate them, and then send them to the hands of the top leaders for approval.
And at this time of the year, it is also the time for major automobile companies to start to carry out activities in Beijing.
And Huayang Power is no exception, this time after recruiting electronic engineers, Jin Xiaoqiang asked Wang Jiao to start preparing a team of public relations personnel, ready to go to the capital, start activities, and strive to make his Qoros car series appear in this year's government procurement car catalog.
Before going this time, Jin Xiaoqiang still has two things to do, that is, to develop two other car series as soon as possible to improve the product line of Qoros car series.
One of these two cars is the latest 2010 Buick Boulevard, and the other is the new small fresh pickup truck AMAROK launched by Volkswagen in 2011!
The reason why these two models are completed is that Jin Xiaoqiang is not very satisfied with the Qoros car series!
Now named Qoros 8, the length of the original Buick new LaCrosse series is only 5 meters, which is not small compared with Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, but it is still 15 cm shorter than the new Audi A6L.
Audi's new A6L series is currently the exclusive car for domestic provincial and ministerial officials.
Qoros is not worse than this Audi in terms of powertrain and appearance, and even compared to Mercedes-Benz, BMW is not far behind, but in terms of size, the arm Audi A6L is shorter, which may be a little difficult for many officials to accept.
Don't look at the average size of our Celestial Empire people, it is not high, but we must drive the world's largest and most luxurious car, which can be seen from the hot sale of large-size SUVs in the Celestial Empire in the future.
This is also the habitual consumption psychology of our Celestial Empire people, so if you want to be recognized by the officials, you must come up with a model that can make them sit comfortably and enjoyably.
Qoros 8 is 15 centimeters shorter than Audi, but this Qoros 9 (2010 Boulevard) is much longer than Audi, his car is 5.175 meters long, more than ten centimeters longer than Audi, and the model is much more atmospheric.
With this car, Jin Xiaoqiang believes that it should be able to touch the hearts of those officials, and the rest depends on their activity energy in the capital.
Regarding this point, Jin Xiaoqiang was very relieved, he had already contacted Du Liqiang, as well as Ouyang Fenqiang, and asked them to help prepare.
