Chapter 760: What Do I Want You to Do (Monthly Pass Plus 35/41)
"Can we build this?" Chen Xiaoman pointed to something.
"This is a motor controller, what are you doing with this?" The engineer couldn't figure it out.
"I'm going to build a car, a sports car with self-driving." Chen Xiaoman pointed outside: "It's exactly the same as my car." ”
The engineers almost fell to their knees.
We were wrong, you are not only a fool, but also a brute.
"That's called illegal assembly, whether it's illegal modification, illegal assembly, illegal manufacturing, there is no way to get on the road. Moreover, building a car is not such a simple thing. Liu Xia, the interim leader of the project team, explained helplessly.
"What a pity." Chen Xiaoman looked at this group of engineers, and felt a sense of loss about what I want you to do.
It may be that this emotion is too strong, which makes Liu Xia suddenly have a bad feeling in his heart.
Unlike his technical nerdy friends, Liu Xia grew up in a very complex family and is very good at observing words and feelings.
He immediately asked cautiously: "Mr. Chen, why do you want to build a car?" ”
Chen Xiaoman stomped his feet that stood a little numb, and sighed: "I've only been driving for a year, and I've already sent the car for repair more than 20 times, on average, more than once a month, and it takes at least half a month to repair it, which means that half of my car has been spent in the fourth son's shop." ”
Liu Xia wanted to say: "It's all like this, you just give up, let go of the poor car, let go of the fourth son shop who is about to die of exhaustion, and the insurance company that is on the verge of bankruptcy." ”
But he can't say.
Although the person in front of him is the executive vice president, it is true that the direct boss of their project team really has the power of life and death.
"That's why Mr. Chen, you're planning to develop an autonomous driving system, right?"
"Yes, when I make a mistake, you can take over at any time and help me avoid some dangers." Chen Xiaoman was very serious.
Looking at her serious little face, Liu Xia suspected that the autopilot system would choose to eject her.
You get out of the car, it's safest for the car, it's for you.
"There will definitely be similar technologies in the future, and the same is true for our R&D direction, as long as there are results, we can sell our systems to car manufacturers." Liu Xia was faintly aware of a danger, so he worked hard to emphasize the necessity of the project.
Whether it is to install a separate system for Mr. Man, or to build a car alone, these are unrealistic.
This unreality disappointed Mr. Man.
In all likelihood, she will lose her enthusiasm for the project.
One supervisor loses enthusiasm for your project, and the rest of the tech nerds don't mean what it is.
Some even gloat at the disappointment of the brute general.
I feel that such a broken leader who doesn't understand anything is really not qualified to command them, and he is not worthy of it at all.
And Liu Xia, the person in charge, has keenly felt the huge crisis.
If your direct management is not enthusiastic about your project, then you don't expect any resources to support it, and it may even cut your project.
Even if none of this happened.
When you make achievements, there is no direct management of the project that is enthusiastic, and it will not ask you for credit.
"Oh." Chen Xiaoman couldn't bring it up very much.
She doesn't want to care about this anymore, it's not interesting, she wants to return this department to the technical research institute and let them manage it themselves, anyway, she doesn't understand anything.
Self-knowledge is a bit of hers, and she, as an executive vice president, may not be very capable. Huaxia Library
But she just needs to choose the right people and then give them enough power, and her role is to co-ordinate.
There's really nothing she can't figure out, she still has a cousin.
"Mr. Chen, in fact, it's not impossible to build a car." On a cold day, Liu Xia almost sweated, he racked his brains, and finally he held back some ideas.
"Really?" Chen Xiaoman's eyes lit up.
At this moment, she was a bit like a dying patient, hearing the doctor say that she could still be treated.
"Otherwise, let's go to the conference room and talk, there's heating over there." Liu Xia was not too embarrassed to fool a little budding in front of his knowledgeable colleagues.
That's unkind.
But for the sake of the project team, he had to do it.
The two came to the conference room, Chen Xiaoman sat unceremoniously on the main seat, the conference room here is a long table, not a round table at the headquarters.
She is the vice president of the group, and Liu Xia is not even the director.
Excessive courtesy of Corporal Virtuous will make people feel hypocritical, and it is far less affordable than a little salary and a bonus.
"Mr. Chen, cars are currently divided into four types according to energy, which can generally be divided into four types: diesel-gas-electric hybrid...... You know, right? "Not quite sure asked.
"Of course, you have to know." Can't be cowardly.
"Whether it is from the perspective of environmental protection, or from the perspective of energy regeneration, or from the perspective of manufacturing costs, in fact, new energy is the only way to go, and it is also the only opportunity for our Chinese car companies to achieve corner overtaking." Liu Xia began to give Chen Xiaoman some knowledge about the automotive industry.
In 2009, Huaxia surpassed Migo for the first time to become the world's largest automobile producer and seller.
Don't rush to be proud and excited.
Foreign brands occupy at least 60% of the domestic market, which means that we can only get a small part of the profits, and most of the money actually falls into the "pockets" of other Guo Jia.
So, can't we really build top-notch cars?
The word made in China is old.
However, the truth is really slap in the face, even if Wuling Hongguang has begun to build supercars, we are actually just a newcomer in the field of car manufacturing.
Take the hottest BBA, for example.
Mercedes-Benz was founded in 1883 and has a history of 137 years. Audi was founded in 1909 and has a history of 111 years, and even the "youngest" BMW is over 100 years old!
Most of the foreign brands are quite mature in technology, and it is really difficult to surpass them.
Many people think that building a car is simple, but in fact, there has never been an industry that can run through multiple fields like automobiles. From steel, metallurgy, rubber, petrochemical, plastics, machinery, electronics, chips, textiles and other industries, all of them have to provide services to the automotive industry.
It even involves insurance, loans and other financial services!
"Ahem, I was abrupt." Chen Xiaoman thought that this was explaining to himself that he couldn't build a car.
"No, no, Mr. Chen, I didn't mean that." Liu Xia hurriedly explained: "What I want to say is that the traditional automotive industry is not suitable for us to enter, and it is too difficult to catch up with our predecessors, but now new energy vehicles are opening their doors to us." ”
"New energy?" Chen Xiaoman remembered that there seemed to be a senior executive in the company who drove that thing.
That thing really doesn't compare to its own sports car.
"Mr. Chen, I think new energy can be engaged, there are two main considerations, one is the technology accumulation just mentioned, new energy vehicles are a subversive thing for the traditional automobile industry with a history of 100 years, and the other is that we Guo Jia has huge industry support in this area." Liu Xia finally said his purpose.
In other words, he indirectly satisfies the purpose of the man who always wants to build a car.
If you want to build a car, you can't expand the autonomous driving project into a new energy vehicle project with automatic driving function.
