[300] No. 56 gasoline

Xiaoqiang was very excited, shook hands with Mr. Li with a smile and said: "I have been looking up for a long time, Mr. Li, you are a legend in the domestic car industry, and it is really an honor to be able to come here in person." ”

Li Shufu smiled very plainly, you must know that Geely's profit only exceeded one billion last year, and now someone suddenly said that they want to spend money to buy pride...... The production line of this good car, it is pie in the sky!

"Everywhere, people who know me probably remember me when they heard my stupid saying, 'Building a car is a sofa with four wheels,' haha."

Xiaoqiang glanced at Li Shufu's simple office, and said with a smile: "It's better to be famous than to see, Mr. Li's office is really simple enough, and some township mayor's offices are more magnificent than yours." ”

Mr. Li smiled and fiddled with the pen in his hand and said: "We are a private enterprise, and we are doing the most thankless labor-intensive industry, every penny is earned by hard work, and diligence and thrift should be." ”

After that, Li Shufu put down the pen and said seriously: "Mr. Cao, I heard Xiaolu say, do you want to buy a full set of production equipment?" ”

As soon as Xiaoqiang heard the topic, he said seriously: "Yes, I want to copy your company's carburetor pride to Africa, and play a role in Africa for more than ten years." ”

Li Shufu's eyes lit up, the current domestic auto market in 2011 cooled down significantly, the profits of various car companies are declining, is Africa really a growth point? He simply didn't talk about the selling price, but asked: "Does Mr. Cao have channels in Africa?" Can Africa's people keep up with their spending power? The profit of this low-end model is very thin, and a production line will be put into production, and the minimum guarantee is that at least 8 to 100,000 vehicles will be produced! No matter how you say it, you have to sell 20,000 units annually to break even! For a low-end product like a carburetor carburetor car, can you sell 100,000 units? ”

Xiaoqiang has never been there, where does he know Africa, but he knows that Geely's pride was placed in 1950, and it is normal to sell millions of vehicles worldwide. So he said nonsense: "The standard of living is always gradually improving, and when people can afford to rebuild, won't the time be delayed." ”

Seeing this, Mr. Li thought to himself, it would be good to let him explore the way to open up the market, if it is really easy to sell, it will be very fast to ship it in China. However, I had heard that Africa was full of second-hand cars, and there was no market for new cars, so he was willing to be this pioneer, and his courage was indeed commendable.

"Mr. Cao, I calculated that the car factory will be built there according to the standard of completely domestic production, and if the land cost is not counted, it will cost at least 5 billion yuan in total investment! We Geely are preparing to invest in Indonesia to set up a factory, and the current total budget has reached 2 billion US dollars, which is really expensive, of course, the production is not this carburetor pride, and the production capacity is much higher. In addition, we have agreed with the Egyptian Jabbar Group to establish a joint venture assembly plant in Egypt with an annual assembly capacity of 30,000 vehicles. ”

Li Shufu is a real person, and the two meanings in this statement are very clear, that is, let me remind you first, first of all, overseas investment is very expensive. Secondly, if you have just started production there, you may have to face competition from Egypt, or a higher-end model, if you feel unsure, it is better not to blindly throw money into it.

Xiaoqiang didn't care about it, and said nervously: "Yes, so your equipment has to be sold cheaper, I am different from the kind of assembly plant that can change the production model at any time according to market changes, our target customers are different, I take the civilian route." ”

Mr. Li nodded and said: "Since Mr. Cao, you have decided, then I will give you a quotation, this engine is basically copied from the 376 engine on Tianjin FAW Xiali, and the TJ376 of FAW is also copied from the 376 engine of Japan's Daihatsu Automobile." Although this thing looks simple, I haven't seen a few countries on Shijie make it. In general, Haoqing's car is basically a copycat Xiali, so I transfer a full set of equipment plus jishu, and it is not expensive to charge you 1.2 billion. ”

Xiaoqiang was stunned, originally listening to Lu Qifu's words, he thought that it would cost 1.5 or 6 billion to get it, but now Geely's asking price is only 1.2 billion.

But when you think about it, these equipment are old, and Geely doesn't care about installation and commissioning, construction and staff training, or digestion and absorption, and it won't bear all the time and labor costs in the early stage of trial production, commissioning and production, and this price is still not low.

"Mr. Li, this price is a little higher, you can adjust it again, I think 500 million is about the same." Xiaoqiang shamelessly counteroffered.

Li Shufu glared and said, "That's impossible, you can't buy it!" Can't buy it! You're robbing money! Engine, body, chassis, instrument, bearing, carburetor, exhaust purification...... You want a full set, how can it be so cheap! ”

After a cheerful bargain, the two finally set a price of 1 billion, and Geely was responsible for providing a full set of CD-ROMs of the production process, and providing free multimedia consultation in the form of Jishu before and after production.

Xiaoqiang felt that he had earned it, and Li Shufu also felt that he had earned it, and if these old equipment were sold to second-hand industrial material recycling companies on the market, it would be a great thing to get back almost 100 million. Sure enough, what people said was right, third-rate companies sell products, second-rate companies sell services, and first-class companies sell jishu! The profit from selling jishu is about to catch up with Geely's profit for the whole of last year!

However, Li Shufu was still afraid that the broken car made by Xiaoqiang would smash Geely's signboard in Africa, and he did not agree with Xiaoqiang to borrow Geely's brand and car logo to deceive in Africa. Xiaoqiang pretended to be helpless, so he had to agree and customize the car logo by himself. For this reason, Li Shufu said that he would rather agree to give Xiaoqiang 1,000 cars for free.

Where is Xiaoqiang willing to let go, take Li Shufu's slip of the tongue, and insist that Li Shufu give him an additional 1,000 cars. Seeing that so much money was earned in his hands, Mr. Li readily agreed.

Xiaoqiang defrauded 1,000 lottery heads, came out of Geely Company with great interest, called Zhou Lan to send someone to take over the follow-up of the contract, and he got on the plane to catch up with the north, on the plane, Xiaoqiang couldn't help humming a small tune "We, the people, really happy......"

Compared with 1986, when the first Xiali rolled off the assembly line in China in the form of CKD (Whole Component Assembly Factory), and in 1992, all cottage localization was completed, and 1950 was able to produce such a cattle national car 42 years ahead of schedule, which should be so happy! The Beetle can sell 21 million units worldwide, Xiaoqiang believes that although the appearance of Haoqing is not very artistic, but with the performance that swept everything in the 1950s, it can sell five or six million vehicles, right? Once this car is mass-produced, according to the ex-factory cost in 2011, the cost control is no problem at 22,000, plus the layers of transportation and middlemen, it is normal to sell below 30,000 yuan. By 1950, when labor was cheap, the cost would be even lower, and it would definitely not exceed the Beetle's more than 10,000 marks - equivalent to three or four thousand dollars. Of course, if the raw materials for car manufacturing cannot be turned into cabbage, then the cost will not come down.

Xiaoqiang remembered the bitter history of the development of the car industry in New China, and really felt miserable, although the first Hongqi car off the assembly line in 1958 was exciting, but who knows how much the new China's automakers suffered in order to cast a qualified V8 engine for Hongqi.

The Soviet expert said very frankly at the time: "Don't do it, we can't even build a V8 engine in the Soviet Union." "But in the end, after casting 100 cylinder blocks, FAW got 3 qualified products! The remaining 97 are all quality defects and unqualified! On the basis of these three qualified blanks, the new Chinese automakers carefully polished them by hand and finally made a perfect V8 engine! This is truly a work of art that is truly one in a hundred! The first Hongqi car rolled off the assembly line, and finally allowed New China to manufacture a V8 engine ahead of the Soviet Union and the whole of Asia!

The automotive industry, like all other industries, has to go from easy to difficult. Looking at the current level of Toyota and Honda, which made agricultural vehicles, you will know that the road has to be taken step by step, and the improvement of Jishu needs to continue to throw money, where does the money come from? This is not a matter of urgency only by continuous capital accumulation. Now that 1950 has pride, it is equivalent to having a steady stream of capital accumulation required for the development of the automobile industry, which makes Xiaoqiang unhappy.

Xiaoqiang is now only worried about one problem, the quality of the oil in the 1950's!

New China can only supply No. 56 gasoline, which is the compression ratio between 6 and 7 for the cars of the 50s on the Shijie.

This gasoline label is actually very simple, the higher the compression ratio of the engine, the higher the gasoline grade required.

Because when the oil and gas are mixed in the engine cylinder, the piston compresses the mixed oil and gas, and the spark plug ignition causes the mixed oil and gas to be burned and emits energy to push the piston to return to produce mechanical power. Low-grade gasoline contains a large amount of unstable n-heptane, which causes the piston to be in the compression stroke, and before it is compressed in place for ignition, the mixed oil and gas will deflagrate in advance, the more powerful the engine, the lower the compression ratio, and the low-grade gasoline often becomes the killer of these advanced engines, frequently causing detonation! Commonly known as 'knocking cylinder'. Cause the engine to stall, and in the long run, the engine life will be greatly reduced!

No. 56 gasoline means that the content of n-heptane is less than 44%, and isooctane, which is highly resistant to knocking, accounts for 56%. In 2011, No. 93 gasoline guaranteed 93% n-heptane content, and only 7% of the mishandling isooctane.

New China's current self-produced gasoline has two grades, 56, 66, after the 60s began to produce 70, 75, the production of the Red Flag and the import of the Soviet Union's Volga car, in order to get rid of imports, China in the 70s supporting the production of 80, 85 high-grade gasoline, the 80 gasoline for Geely Pride three-cylinder 376 engine has been dodged. Later, our country began to produce gasoline No. 90 and 93, until today's gasoline No. 95 and 97.

New China's method of improving the quality of oil products is the same as that of Shijie at that time, that is, adding the antiknock agent of tetraethyl lead gasoline discovered by American scientist Thomas Mikili in 1921, adding one gram to 1.5 grams of tetraethyl lead per liter of No. 70 oil, you can initially reach the anti-knock level of No. 80 gasoline, but what can be done about lead poisoning in automobile exhaust? This lead pollution is so big that even the exhaust three-way catalytic purifier installed in the car in 2011 can only eliminate carbon monoxide and alkyl poisons, and cannot eliminate the lead in the exhaust gas at all!

The thought of car exhaust poisoning gave Xiaoqiang a headache.
