Chapter 326: Take a long-term view
Lin Zheng grinned, "What do you think?" Even if our country wants to use it, it should be other models, this kind of all-telex thing...... Do you think any country would establish a logistics maintenance system that is completely different from the previous logistics maintenance system for such a thing? ”
This is the truth, Andrei has to admit that what Lin Zheng said is indeed right, for a country's army, to maximize the simplification of the logistics maintenance system, so that the new equipment and the existing logistics equipment and maintenance system are common is what must be done under the conditions of modern warfare, if the logistics maintenance of each equipment needs a separate system, the logistics officer can go crazy and shoot himself in the head.
"Well, I'm sure it has nothing to do with your country, but why?" Andrei was still curious.
"I'm very interested in this 79o7 all-telex," Lin Zheng repeated again, "I think this thing may inspire me a little, of course, if you don't like it, forget it." ”
"I'll do my best," Andre said cautiously, after a moment's hesitation, "but I'm afraid it's not cheap, and that car might cost $1oo dollars." ”
$1oo dollars to get an all-terrain all-terrain all-weather heavy military wheeled off-road transporter? Lin Zheng, who knew the value of this thing very well, immediately felt that he seemed to have made a lot of money, and the spirit of the local tyrant suddenly overflowed, "Money is not a problem!" Andrey, no matter how much you can get, I'll take it all...... I'll give you $1o million for each one. ”
$1o million? Andre's eyes were straight, and his annual salary at Terex was only $60,000. Now I heard Lin Zheng say that as long as he helps him get a 79o7, he will have a hard fee of 1o US dollars, which is almost his income for two years, and he is suddenly very moved. "Seriously?"
"Of course, I'm a rich man!" Lin Zheng patted his chest and glanced at Andre with disdain, "You should always know how much the construction cost of my base is, right?" Do you think I won't be able to come up with that amount of money? ”
Andrei really knew the cost of the construction of this base, and he immediately put his mind at ease, "No problem, I'll help you get in touch." I believe that there will be results within a month. ”
"To celebrate our happy cooperation, we should have a drink," Lin said. Picked up the two-pot bottle in his hand and touched Andre, and after a sip of wine, Lin Zheng patted Andre on the shoulder enthusiastically, "Boss." What's the point of doing this damn engineer. Why don't you come over and continue to do your electric drive? With your IQ, you must be able to guess, I asked you to help me with this all-electric drive military off-road vehicle, just hoping to be able to drive an all-electric drive technology for commercial vehicles. ”
"You're talking about Terex as a maintenance engineer now, but you're actually a repairman...... I dare to bet 1ooo dollars with you, Terex definitely didn't say that to you in the first place, and if you continue like this, your ability will be useless. ”
Lin Zheng was not wrong, Terex really didn't say this to Andre at that time. At that time, Terex patted his chest and swore to Andre that Terex would make every effort to develop a large mining vehicle with all-electric transmission, and they urgently needed an expert like Andre with high attainments in electric transmission technology to join. As long as Andre agrees, Terex will provide Andre with the best conditions for his research......
With the "huge" salary of $50,000 a year that Terex wields, and the embarrassing family situation of a job he likes but can't do and is almost out of food, Andre can almost think of anything with the soles of his feet...... Before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, for Soviet engineers at the time, the annual salary of $50,000 was almost unimaginable.
"I ......" Andrei was a little moved.
He can see that Lin Zheng does seem to have the intention of doing electric transmission, which is his appetite, to tell the truth, in the past few years, he can't do the work and research he likes, he can only be a dispensable repairman, Andre is almost crazy, if he can do his favorite electric transmission, of course it would be good, but when he thought of the contract signed with Terex, it was like a basin of cold water poured on Andre's head.
"No," Andre shook his head with difficulty, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I signed a 1o year work contract with Terex, and if I break the contract, I need to pay a huge sum of 5o dollars...... I can't come up with the money anyway. ”
$5o liquidated damages? Lin Zheng couldn't help but smack his tongue, Terex is planning to kill Andre alive.
It's not that Lin Zheng can't take out the $5o, but he has to determine whether Andre is worth the $5o himself......
"Lao An, I can help you with this money, and you don't even have to pay it back." After thinking for a full two minutes, Lin Zheng slowly spoke.
Andre blinked, did not speak, but stared at Lin Zheng and waited for him to continue: Since Lin Zheng is willing to help himself pay the liquidated damages of 5o US dollars, and this money does not even have to be paid back by himself, then he must have some extraordinarily harsh conditions......
Andrei guessed right.
"But yours prove to me your level in electric drive technology," Lin Zheng looked at Andre solemnly, "If you can prove your ability, I can help you set up a special electric drive research room, and you can even go and reconvene your old colleagues and subordinates, and I can help you pay your and their liquidated damages, and I can also guarantee that your salary will not be lower than the previous level...... You have also lived in our country for some time and should be well aware of what kind of purchasing power such a salary level represents...... You and your family can move over, and each family will get a car, how about that? ”
"You mean really?" Andre raised his head and looked at Lin Zheng with dead eyes, "Lin, this joke is not funny. ”
"You think I'm going to joke about this kind of thing? Andrey, you are an electric drive engineer, and you should know very well that the replacement of the internal combustion engine by the electric motor is an inevitable trend in the future development of transmission technology, just as the internal combustion engine replaces the steam engine. ”
Andre was silent, but not making a noise does not mean that he disagrees with Lin Zheng's words, he does agree with Lin Zheng's words, in fact, almost all people who study electric transmission are firm believers in "electric power will inevitably replace the internal combustion engine", just as the internal combustion engine replaces the steam engine, the electric motor will replace the internal combustion engine sooner or later.
Andre didn't speak, Lin Zheng didn't care, and continued, "You see, we have reached a consensus on this point, since we have the same opinion, then the matter is simple: electric drive technology is just starting now, we don't have to face the encirclement and suppression of so many giants like engaging in internal combustion engines, this is a good business opportunity, I am not short of money, our ancestors also said that industries related to clothing, food, housing and transportation will always be needed by society, in this case, why don't we start preparing now?" ”
"You're going to make an electric car?" Andrei finally spoke.
"Electric cars?" Lin Zheng shook his head, "Not yet, if you join, what we are going to do is the electric drive of commercial vehicles." ”
"But with all due respect, it seems that you only have one car tuning shop under your command." Andrei was visibly moved, but apparently he still had some concerns.
If possible, Andrei certainly hopes that this kind of thing was born in the USSR, but the USSR collapsed, this is a fact that has been born, it is impossible to change, but for those bastards who pit the USSR and pit themselves, Andrei does not have a good feeling, and cooperation with Lin Zheng seems to be a good choice, at least he has no good feelings for the Chinese, but again, for Lin Zheng, he also has concerns, this guy is not even a car factory at all, right?
"It is precisely because I don't have an automobile factory that the cost of obtaining relevant technology is unimaginable, so I can desperately develop electric transmission technology, Andre, do you think those traditional automobile manufacturing giants will work so hard to make electric transmission?" Lin Zheng asked rhetorically.
The old man has to admit that what Lin Zheng said is indeed a bit reasonable, now the world's automobile giants are making full efforts to improve the internal combustion engine in their hands, the internal combustion engine technology has only been on display for less than 1oo years, with the emergence of a variety of new technologies such as supercharging technology, intake and exhaust variable valve technology, and a new atomization combustion technology, the traditional internal combustion engine still has great potential for improvement and promotion, and we can also rely on the internal combustion engine to eat at least 5o years.
Although we all know that the future is the world of electric motors, since we have 5o years to do buffering, why should we be in a hurry? We can slowly improve the internal combustion engine and slowly build the electric motor at the same time.
Lin Zheng doesn't think so, who dares to think like this, who will definitely die miserably, look at the wolves of those automobile giants after 2o13, there are no automobile manufacturing companies now? It doesn't matter, there are always more solutions to the problem than the problem, and it really can't go abroad to mix a "turtle" back, and it immediately becomes a hot item.
"I need to think about it." Andre pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head, "But whether I agree or not, I'll try to get you a 79o7." ”
"It would be nice if you could lighten up your colleagues who were working on electric drive technology back then." Lin Zheng said cheekily.
……………………
"You're so optimistic about the future of electric?" Andre left, and Tanna's ghost came out of nowhere, standing behind Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng didn't look back, looking at Terex not far in front of him and said faintly, "Didn't you listen to Andre, because the high-power diesel engine burns oil is too powerful, those heavy-duty mining vehicles have begun to use all-electric transmission, and even those rich big bosses feel that using oil is not as good as electricity, there are resources but the more they use it, the less they use, do you think that in another ten or twenty years, will this situation be the turn of ordinary people?" …… To be a business, the vision must be long-term enough. ”
