Chapter 124: Lan Feng's Decision
Huaxia FAW.
When Lan Feng received the call, he was stunned.
Eat a lunch and get the gearbox?
Director Xiao Xu's work efficiency is too high, right?
"It seems that the courtesy car is worth it!"
The person in charge of the Hongqi Business Department who came to report the work nodded with great agreement, "I said before that it is definitely more effective to give him a personal gift than to give it to TEP." ”
"You know him well."
"Director Xiao Xu's personal tax is to feed the iron rice bowl of a small county."
"And this?"
"I work 28 hours a day and 36 days a month."
“……”
"The most outrageous thing is that someone reported to the TEP headquarters, and after the chairman of TEP learned about it, he felt that Director Xiao Xu worked tirelessly and gave a special reward of 1 million marks."
"10 million red bills?"
"yes."
"I suspect that their chairman is old and dizzy, and he didn't read the report letter at all." Lan Feng was amazed.
"Maybe I didn't think my brain reacted to it. Also, in order to attract investment, Gucheng gave him personal Daze motivation and approved 6,000 acres of land, which he subleased to the Iron Toy Factory, 2,000 acres, with an annual rent of 20 million. ”
“……”
"But Director Xu will do business, with the machinery of the three countries, sales in December 150 million red banknotes, a profit of 15%. In January, the sales volume was 430 million red banknotes, with a profit of 18%, and the performance increased amazingly. In addition, I contacted Modu General yesterday and heard that Director Xu helped TEP (Huaxia) reach a cooperation with Carlyle Investment to engage in a dog breeding project with a total investment of 1.8 billion US dollars. ”
Lan Feng squirted out a sip of tea, "That 1.8 billion dollar dollar project, is it to raise dogs?" ”
"Hmm."
“……”
"However, people have military dogs. A few days ago, a few young people in the courtyard of Zeshi City stole more than 20 dogs from the Tin Toy Factory, worth tens of millions, and almost became the largest eucalyptus in Ze City. ”
Small talking.
Lan Feng sent an email to Xu Fei through his laptop.
Almost the next second, a reply was received.
Dear customers, our company's main machinery products, if you purchase machinery from three countries, please contact xxx. If you want to purchase the Dynasty, please contact xxx. If you are purchasing mechanical audio, please contact xx. If OEM production, please contact xx. If you want to buy a dog, please log on to the official website of TEP (North America) and do not disturb our company.
Immediately after, another email came.
Accessories include differential, transfer case, gearbox.
The differential is used to adjust the speed of the left and right wheels, depending on the parameters, it should belong to the gear differential, compatible with four-wheel drive.
In fact, many people don't know that Audi's proudest technology is full-time four-wheel drive, also known as quattro, the logo is a crawling gecko, the first generation of four-wheel drive enthusiasts, for the sake of face, like to stick geckos, and later for some reason, it was rumored to be 'avoiding trouble'.
And this device of TEP is not inferior to Audi's latest quattro core.
Lan Feng copied the attachment to another computer and continued browsing.
The transfer case is mainly used for the power distribution of the engine, and the power output is output to the front axle, or to the front and rear axles at the same time, depending on the parameters, it is also suitable for four-wheel drive.
However, these two sets of power adjustment devices are a bit beyond the specifications used in conventional vehicles, and the whole is similar to the chariot differential and transfer case seen when visiting Huaxia weapons.
Next is the focus, the gearbox.
This should be a continuously variable gearbox, the planetary gear transmission design is extremely complex, requiring high machining accuracy, although the steel belt, hydraulic pump is removed, but the motor speed regulation is used, which may lead to high production costs.
However, it is small in size, quick in shifting response, and should be extremely comfortable to operate without the slightest interruption in power.
And, without steel belts, it can withstand more torque......
In general, it is very suitable for high-power high-end cars, which is also something that FAW urgently needs.
After all, the positioning of the red flag is the lengthening of the official business, administration, and head of state.
"As a result, the engine is falling behind."
Hongqi initially used its own V8 engine.
It was not until the introduction of the Kreisler engine in 90 that it was applied to the Audi 100 and the reproduction of the small red flag in 96 that the big red flag was truly resurrected.
Now Huaxia is about to join the WTO.
Many overseas brands have poured in, not to mention red flags, even Volkswagen and Audi will face serious challenges.
If the big red flag is not developed, Lanfeng has reason to believe that this national brand is very likely to be buried.
In addition, as the chairman, the revival of the Great Red Flag is far more meaningful than how many A6s are sold.
But here's the problem.
The exchange of reciprocal value is the basis of enterprise cooperation.
Since TEP does not plan to buy FAW Audi, how much money does it need to pay to acquire transmission technology and the corresponding production line?
Lan Feng casually flipped through the three attachments and fell into deep thought.
At noon, he chatted with Xu Fei for two hours, and he felt that this young man was really good.
Down-to-earth, easy-going, professional knowledge and expertise in the field of manufacturing, especially at all levels of disciplines, deeply involved.
When it comes to material forming and control, you can easily answer a variety of solutions for metal materials and heat treatment, and can also explain the thermal processing process, as well as the difficulties of current casting technology and the future trend of welding process......
And to change the topic, turn to mechatronic engineering.
Good guy, Lan Feng seems to have returned to the period of studying abroad, facing the doctor of mechanical and electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, and re-taking a world-class of cutting-edge theory.
From mechanical engineering, to electrical engineering, to computer science and control engineering......
From the structure, to the technology, to the scope of application......
There are also airbags, anti-skid brakes, servo drives and electromechanical systems......
It even includes the operation, commissioning, repair, and maintenance of CNC machine tools......
Finally, we talked about operation management and sales management.
Xu Fei's words moved him completely.
'Management is staring out, and sales are forced. ’
I joined TEP as a salesman, but I haven't sold a single product until now. ’
As a factory manager, I have never interfered in any personnel arrangements from the beginning to the present. ’
That's what I know best about operations management and sales. ’
Lan Feng thought of this and logged on to the official website of TEP (Huaxia).
After browsing for a long time, I finally made a bold decision.
first took out his mobile phone, communicated with the capital, and then notified FAW Audi, "In the name of the manufacturer, sue Audi toys, and the other party will ask for as much compensation as he has sold in recent years." ”
"Yes, leader."
After hanging up the phone, Lan Feng looked at the person in charge of the Hongqi Division, "Dispatch a group of technical personnel, and charter a direct flight to Dongshan Mansion half an hour later, to Daze Power." ”
"Are you going to sell Audi and change transmission technology?"
"No, there's a better solution."
……………
Xu Fei doesn't even want Modu GM and Daewoo General Factory, let alone buy FAW Audi.
called Lan Feng, mainly to repay the favor of giving away the 'courtesy car'.
Another is that after the repair of the laboratory module, the diesel engine technology bought by the old man has been iterated.
At that time, the parameters were 6V-92TA, 406kW, about 552 horsepower.
The current parameters: the model remains the same, electronic control is adopted, the high-voltage ratio turbocharger is replaced, and the power is increased by using ceramics and low-heat dissipation materials to reach 551kW and about 750 horsepower.
This made him realize that by selling the transmission technology, he could develop something better for himself.
In the same way, as long as the laboratory is constantly enhanced, all technologies can be sold.
In this way, the gameplay of the Three Kingdoms of Machines is formed.
Sell you ordinary technology today, and tomorrow I'll take out mid-range technology to glutive you.
When you buy the mid-range, I'll show the high-end.
If you don't buy it, I'll keep it for myself and become your competitor.
If you buy it, let's come up with a new technology that will be fully upgraded, just like using the electroplating process, adding 'technology support' to improve energy utilization by 20%.
It's a big killer.
It's just that Xu Fei discovered that the newly included technology was actually owned by his own family for a long time.
Like test product No. 1: hot-rolled sheet.
Technology: Vacuum oxygen-free heating furnace and its supporting hot stamping die technology.
Characteristics: corrosion resistance, ultra-light, high strength, uniform thickness, texture, good NVH sound insulation effect.
This is clearly the shell of a tin frog.
The so-called vacuum oxygen-free heating furnaces are those sealed electric smelting furnaces.
Like test product No. 2: cold-rolled sheet.
Technology: Made from hot-rolled steel strip, after further cold rolling, does not produce iron oxide scale.
The characteristics are stronger than that of hot-rolled sheets.
This is the 'high-quality carbon structural steel' that was later used in the toys of the Three Kingdoms of Machinery, but it covers the electroplating process in-house, and carries out standard quenching and tempering and bright processing.
The same goes for it.
Three-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled vehicles, and six-wheeled gas turbine heavy-duty transport vehicles are prototypes that were disassembled and assembled by engineers during this time.
So, have you ever seen a 750 hp farm tricycle?
Xu Fei said that he had never seen anything with 0,75 horsepower.
Therefore, the four-wheeled vehicle also uses the 750 new diesel engine.
The six-wheeled heavy-duty transporter, which uses a new gas turbine from the Rhino Heavy Tank, has now risen to 1,200 horsepower.
So here's the problem.
The gearbox is slow, and it is definitely used by diesel engines.
The gearbox is fast, it must be ......
"It's blown up, it's not a gasoline engine gearbox, it's a superfast gearbox used in gas turbines."
Xu Fei found the engineer who analyzed the Hongqi gasoline engine, "How long does it take to get the gasoline engine gearbox done?" ”
"Factory director, even if the analysis is successful, we have no need to produce, because it is too backward and involves relevant patents, which is equivalent to a waste of effort."
"How about making a new gasoline transmission?"
"If you want to break through the technical barriers, 1 laboratory, 20 years of research. 1 research institute, 2 years of research. 1. Do research for 2 months. If we have an academic alliance, we will be able to monopolize the entire gearbox field tomorrow. ”
"In other words, we don't have a gasoline engine gearbox."
"So to speak."
"I just blew a cowhide, you can help me round it."
Mechanical Engineer: "......"
Half an hour later.
The 10 engineers in the No. 1 mechanical laboratory concluded their discussion and came up with a plan.
"Factory director, it stands to reason that gas turbines are not suitable for ordinary cars, even luxury cars, because the fuel consumption is too high in the starting and idling stages, and the process from start to transmission is also a little slow."
"Aang."
"However, we have supercapacitor technology, mature power generation technology, and more mature DC motor technology."
Xu Fei is no longer a mechanical novice, and instantly understood what he meant, "Use gas turbines to generate electricity, supercapacitors to store electricity, and electric motors to drive?" ”
"Yes, but the gas turbine has to be miniaturized, the supercapacitor has to be miniaturized, and it has to be able to store more power. You know, with a super electrician as a battery, there is also a problem of 'self-discharge' too fast, which must be improved. ”
"Yes."
Separating supercapacitors from power plants, although he does not have an electrical engineer at home, Xu Fei understands electricity and understands the value of supercapacitors.
In the past two months, I have studied circuit boards, small speakers, recording and broadcasting equipment, and have also deeply imitated supercapacitors, and even considered making capacitor batteries.
As the mechanical engineer said, the disadvantage: with the same volume, the storage capacity is far less than that of a battery. Fully charged, it will run out in a week. The speed of discharge is like splashing water.
For example, battery discharge: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.
And the capacitor battery discharges: 3, 2, 1.
In other words, the energy released at the beginning is very high, and then it will quickly decay significantly.
However, capacitive batteries also have obvious advantages.
The cost is low, the charging cycle can reach millions of times, if high-tech materials are used, and then add 'high-tech support - energy utilization rate increased by 20%', the charging cycle may reach tens of millions of times, or even break 100 million times.
And, charging is super fast.
If the rechargeable battery takes 1 hour to fully charge.
Capacitive batteries only take 1 minute, or even a few seconds.
In addition, it is very safe, does not catch fire, does not overcharge, and has a very high discharge power......
Xu Fei summoned out the translucent page, flipped through the electrical laboratory, and then looked at the electronic laboratory.
"It seems that it is imperative to recruit electrical researchers."
But here comes the problem again.
Gas turbines are used to generate electricity, capacitor batteries are used as energy sources, and DC motors are used as driving ......
What more gearbox?
Xu Fei found the mechanical engineer again.
The latter denied: "Factory director, electric drive, it is true that it can be directly driven, but just like the role of the pulley, if you add a gearbox, or integrate the transmission system into the motor, it can be more energy-saving and play a better driving experience." ”
"When will this set of technologies be completed?"
"I'll take the two of us to dismantle a wind turbine tower, and when I get a small capacitor, I should be able to make a prototype for experiments in the evening."
"Get it done as soon as possible."
After Xu Fei finished instructing, he was just about to leave, and the 10 engineers of the newly established No. 2 Mechanical Laboratory formed a group to report.
"Factory director, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, we can make the diesel engine high speed."
"Oh?"
Xu Fei fantasized.
The high-end and high-grade luxury car, after starting, made a spitting sound and ran away with black smoke......
"Nope."
"Factory director, in fact, high-end diesel engine technology is the future development direction, and gasoline engines will eventually be eliminated."
"How?"
"The compression ignition work of the diesel engine has a larger compression ratio and an efficiency of 30%~45%. The gasoline engine is ignited by spark plugs, with a small compression ratio and an efficiency of 20%~30%.
Therefore, the diesel engine is more fuel-efficient and burns more fully.
The solution to the high noise is very simple, we can adopt the way of oil injection and spray, improve the compression ignition mode of the diesel engine, reduce the sound, speed up the work process, and then use the materials with good sound insulation effect to manufacture the diesel engine cylinder block......
In this way, pickup trucks, off-road, and high-end cars must use diesel engines, and only low-end cars will use gasoline engines.
In addition, you have always said that the price of crude oil will rise sharply, and we can export to Europe and the United States to make a series of diesel engine cars.
You think, high torque, high horsepower, fast speed, and fuel efficient......"
"Makes sense!"
"The most important thing is that diesel is a strategic material, gasoline is not, burn overseas diesel in this way, let's vigorously promote gasoline-burning gas turbines in China, and wait for more than ten years, the opponent's warships and combat vehicles can still run?"
"You're talking nonsense on this topic, the M1 uses a gas turbine...... The overall idea is good, though. ”
Xu Fei beckoned to Malaysia, "Allocate 2,000 tons of rare earth ore." ”
"Thank you for your support!" The engineers of Mechanical Lab 2 shouted in unison.
The laboratory is indeed a bull, but to engage in mechanical experiments, a large amount of rare earth minerals need to be consumed.
Of course, after consumption, you will get the test product, even if you fail, you will get the failed test product, and the rare earth elements extracted from the rare earth ore will not disappear out of thin air.
But go on like this.
Buy crude oil, buy rare earths, buy grain, buy cotton, plus your own consumption......
The $1.3 billion dollar given by Raymond is not enough to spend.
"I'm already rich, but life is getting harder and harder."
Xu Fei looked at the seventeen or eighteen wind turbine towers in the north of Daze, and was particularly melancholy.
Suddenly, the big secretary called.
"Crooked?"
"The factory director, the Huaxia FAW delegation, arrived at Daze Power at eight o'clock in the evening."
"Is it so urgent?"
"Boarding the plane."
"You arrange the dormitory, this time with windows, doors, bedding, washing utensils, and a few electric heaters."
"Don't worry, it's not an Audi toy factory."
…………
Magic City.
The old man knew who was behind the Audi Toy Factory, but he couldn't move.
Moreover, his old comrades-in-arms passed away one after another, and he was only responsible for the equipment in the Dongshan area, and his influence was far less than that of those who had been camping in the interior for a long time.
"I finally realized Xu Dayou's powerlessness."
"Chief, the matter is finally settled."
"But it's time for me to retire too......"
"You've not been in good health, so let's go out for a walk and take care of yourself."
"The matter of M8 is too complicated, and I am afraid that the new person in charge will not understand the relationship between each other and disrupt the whole plan."
"We don't understand."
"Bullshit, although Lao Tzu can't figure it out, he can make a targeted plan to maximize benefits and help Xu Fei strive for the best result."
"What if TEP doesn't want the American knife, but wants 50% of the shares of Modu General Motors, and Daewoo General Factory?"
"No, that kid arranged for someone to buy crude oil, 1 billion US dollars, TEP should be in urgent need of funds, and plans to carry out the next round of new business, such as Daze Power, building cars."
The old man sighed, "It's just that kid doesn't want to think about it, there is no background, no way, how can the oil country sell it to him, if we don't come forward, maybe Zhang Shiren has fallen into the sea." ”
There are North American GIs around them, and the oil countries offer higher prices at best. ’
The guard thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and was just about to divert the topic, when the special communicator on his waist suddenly sounded.
"Chief, the capital office."
The old man in the armed unit took the communicator, got up and stood up straight, "Leader!" ”
"Xiaobing, that's the case, Strauss, chairman of the German TEP, made a secret visit and said that he wanted to cooperate in a 'radar communication integration project', and the person in charge of the research institute heard about it, and decided to cooperate on the spot without hesitation. However, the TEP does not seem to trust us, and asks Huaxia Weapons, which has a basis for cooperation, to come forward, and after I understand it, I think you are the most suitable to contact them. ”
"Report to the leader, I am already going through the retirement procedures."
"Retirement? Who decides? How did I not know? ”
"I used to fall into an old problem on the battlefield, and I was tortured every night, and I couldn't hold on......
"Don't say it, come to the capital, live next door to me, and treat it for a while."
"The leaders can rest assured that the introduction of the 'radar communication integration project' will be completed!"
When the guard saw that the old man had finished calling, he packed up his things, "Chief, it's overturned." ”
"But the problem is even more serious, the leader does not know about my retirement decision and confidentiality commitment letter, and may not even have seen it."
"Then do you know about Xu Dayou's transfer?"
“……”
"By the way, Chief, shall we clean up the house?"
"It must be cleaned up, Xu Fei wants to buy it for 2 million, and I will help him take it for 200,000!"
"Hey, hey."
"Look, you're happy? Don't think I didn't know that your sister joined TEP and worked as a clerk in a design company. ”
"I didn't say anything."
………………
……
The Huaxia FAW exchange group came quickly.
Said to arrive at eight o'clock in the evening, and enter Huangnigang at six o'clock in the evening.
This made Xu Fei couldn't help but wonder if Lan Feng would be able to fly a fighter.
At this reception, no welcome ceremony was held, but 13 special combat personnel were arranged to drive six M8s equipped with rubber tracks to fire several rounds of empty ammunition in the square in front of the door.
Captain Zhou Dong quietly reported again, but unfortunately, the signal was still not good.
(The special operations team has a direct legion, which is not under the control of the old man in the armed forces, but is only seconded to carry out tasks.) )
Someone has watched too many expansion films, leaving sequelae, and always feels that Daze's power is not advanced enough.
But in the eyes of FAW management, this behemoth, which is still under construction, is far more domineering than the FAW General Plant.
The vast square in front of the door, the majestic boulders, the tall and spectacular two... Blockhouse?!
Entering the factory, there is a 20-meter-wide broad avenue in front of you, flanked by flower beds and street lamps.
Take a sightseeing car with a modified chariot chassis and come to the office building facing the main gate.
At the foot is a square made of mechanical gears, topped by a layer of transparent glass, and the bottom gear turns, and the fountain rises into the sky, around which a series of projection headlights are turned on.
The site of up to 1,000 square meters shows the style of mechatronics.
And the office building in front.
From the front, it looks like it is slightly tilted back, and although it is not high, it looks extraordinarily imposing, and it is reminiscent of the courthouse......
Instead of going to the office, they went straight to the back of the factory.
Along the way, there are huge square box-shaped factories, neat but staggered, which has opened the eyes of FAW management.
It deserves to be a foreign company!
After Xu Fei finished blowing the cowhide, he found that he did not have a gasoline engine gearbox, and he was already a little weak-hearted.
Open the translucent panel, bring up the introduction of the laboratory, and try to pull up as much expertise as possible along the way.
Lan Feng had a 'bold decision' and was also approved by the capital, but he didn't care much about the gearbox.
Now he was just curious about why Xu Fei was so young and dabbled in so much of it, and he knew every subject well.
So much so that when he is over half a hundred years old, he can't help but use honorific titles.
"Director Xiao Xu, people's energy is limited, how did you master so much knowledge?"
"I don't forget it, it's pure nonsense, I just study hard every day, practice hard, and spend every minute and every second on the production line."
"What about management?"
"An excellent operating system, with its own set of independent management methods, and I, as the leader, only play a role in adjustment."
"Director Xiao Xu, I have a suggestion, I hope you can seriously consider it."
"How?"
"Served as the director of the Hongqi Automobile Factory."
“???”
"Beijing has approved it, and I will persuade the FAW board of directors."
"No need, I'm fine here."
"I mean, it's not a conflict that you can continue to serve at TEP and at the same time be the director of Hongqi Automobile Factory."
"Can it still be like this?"
"Aren't you the director of the Tin Toy Factory and the director of Daze Power?"
"But you're FAW."
"No, Hongqi Automobile will soon become independent and reorganized into Huaxia Hongqi."
"I'm underage."
"Reform, crossing the river by feeling the stones, everything is possible, besides, you are known as the strongest manager, as the director of Hongqi Automobile Factory, enough to convince the public."
“……”
Lan Feng saw his hesitation, and whispered in his ear: "You don't need to worry too much, the capital said that the founder of your company, Strauss, made a secret visit, and the capital will take this decision as an additional condition at that time." Of course, there will be no joint ventures, just you will manage and operate, there will be salaries, and there will be benefits. ”
“……”
"Director Xu, Hongqi Automobile, I'll leave it to you!"
“……”
