In the minds of Chinese people, Hongqi Automobile belongs to a national brand with a special meaning.

It should be high-end, atmospheric, and classy.

But in fact, the red flag of the millennium, there is no production line, not even a factory.

Because after the production was stopped in 81, Hongqi's chassis, engine, and gearbox, together with the production line, were used to manufacture the CA630 station coach (van).

The reason for the suspension of production is nothing more than backward technology, high fuel consumption, no matter whether you drive or sit, it is uncomfortable.

There were even a few very embarrassing scenes.

For example, when greeting overseas VIPs, the other party got in the car and left, but the car of the second leader of his own party suddenly lay down.

For example, when I was carrying overseas VIPs to scenic spots, the brakes suddenly failed, and I came on a real roller coaster.

is so unreliable, and wasted more than 50 million funds, the angry leader directly signed a document of 'sealing the car and saving fuel'.

But in China, there can be no self-produced cars.

Especially in recent years, overseas brands have frantically poured in, and there will be more foreign-funded cars when they join the WTO in the future.

Therefore, production resumed again in '96.

However, Hongqi, which has interrupted production for 15 years, now lacks not only the gearbox, but also the engine, differential, transfer case, chassis architecture, sheet metal painting, vehicle design, CNC chips......

In other words, a new red flag, which needs to be reorganized.

In Lan Feng's opinion.

TEP can get advanced diesel engine technology, advanced transmission technology, advanced production lines, and can even independently produce hot-rolled sheets and cold-rolled sheets......

Xu Fei understands automobile manufacturing and is familiar with operation management and sales.

The most important thing is that this kid can play, can transfer the assets of foreign companies to himself, and keep foreigners in the dark.

If he is appointed as the director of Hongqi Factory, with the help of TEP resources, there will be a great chance to make Dahongqi work.

In this way, the people are local to China, the car is a national brand, and the company is a central enterprise, is there a better result than this?

Moreover, Huaxia FAW is also equivalent to losing a heavy burden.

Win-win!

……

Xu Fei received Lan Feng's invitation, and suddenly forgot what he was going to do.

It seems that they want to buy the Audi toy factory.

But why did he become the director of Hongqi Automobile?

Is there any connection between the two?

One in Shancheng in the south, one in Ji Province in the north,

A private enterprise, a central enterprise......

"Director Xu, where are you going?"

"My brain is a little tired, go back to sleep."

“？？？”

"By the way, Lan Dong, if I am the factory director, is there a level?"

"There will definitely be in the future."

"So?"

Xu Fei's eyes rolled, "Leader, what level are you now?" ”

"It's... It is probably equivalent to the deputy leader of Dongshan Prefecture. ”

"Hiss......"

Huaxia FAW and Huaxia Weapons should be of the same level.

The old man of the armed armament belongs to the head of the Dongshan Branch.

The level is definitely not as good as Lan Feng, the person in charge of the FAW headquarters.

It's just that the old man of the armed forces still has an identity, the head of the armament department of the Dongshan Military Department.

Positioning is a bit of a model lake.

But it is certain that Lan Feng should be the biggest leader Xu Fei has ever met.

It is taller than Director Liang of Dongshan Development and Reform and the old lady of Dongshan Council.

"What's wrong, Director Xu?"

"Uncle Lan, what do you think about the warmer weather?"

“？？？”

"This winter is not as cold as in previous years, and the summer will definitely be hotter, if it goes on for a long time, it may not feel anything in three or five years, and the winter and summer in more than ten years will definitely be much hotter than now.

In particular, with the development of science and technology, the use of heating and electric heaters in winter, fans and air conditioners in summer, and the use of cars to travel throughout the year, demand will increase, production will increase, and emissions from power plants and factories will also increase.

According to TEP (North America) research, there are still so many cattle in North America, and I don't know when the wildfires in Oberia will burn, and there will be artillery fire in West Asia all day long......

The overall temperature rises, triggering climate change, when hot and cold air currents hedge and the Northern Hemisphere cools......

Uncle Lan, we have to prepare early! ”

Lan Feng looked at someone who was serious, and couldn't help but light a cigarette, "Director Xu's plan?" ”

"Hoard oil, hoard cotton, hoard grain, and hoard some rare earth minerals...... Our company has invested 1 billion US dollars. ”

"How much?!"

"In oil alone, 1 billion US dollars were invested. In addition, another 300 million US dollars will be spent to acquire a large number of rare earth mines. Of course, more will be invested in the future. ”

“……”

"Uncle Lan, when I go back, I will persuade Chief Sun of Huaxia Weapons, do you want to do it together?"

"This ......"

"Think about it, this is a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people."

"Hmm."

Lan Feng's fingers trembled slightly.

At this moment, he was not thinking about global warming.

It's a collaboration between TEP and Carlyle.

Raising a dog with 1.8 billion US dollars must be to hide people's eyes.

The real purpose should be to speculate on crude oil.

Recall the cooperation between General Motors and Huaxia Weapons, 900 combat vehicles......

North America seems to be going to beat people.

Once beaten, the price of crude oil will skyrocket nine times out of ten.

TEP and Carlyle Investments have deposited crude oil in China, waiting for overseas prices to soar before making a profit.

As for who to sell to......

According to the cost of sea freight, it should be sold to Wajima and Minami Bangzi.

In this way, the route on the side of Ma Liu may be suspended.

Otherwise, how will the fuel prices of Wajima and Minami Bangzi skyrocket again?

As for how to pause......

What does Carlyle Invest do?

There is no need to use weapons, find a heavy oil tanker, and you can do it in the channel.

In this way, domestic fuel prices are also likely to rise.

But the 93 gasoline is 2.32, which is already very high......

Lan Feng finished smoking a cigarette and pondered for a long time.

I decided to quietly stock up a little bit and see how it went.

Also buy some futures......

I immediately remembered the original topic.

"Director Xu, what about Hongqi Motors?"

"Leader, don't say anything, I am willing to dedicate my youth to the Red Flag and fight for the domestic production until I grow old!"

"Well said!" Lan Feng gave a thumbs up.

Grand Secretary: "??? ”

Meanwhile.

In the exclamation of the exchange group, the three sightseeing cars came to the mechanical test area.

After an afternoon of overtime, the first set of 'gas turbine generator + supercapacitor + DC motor + gearbox' has been produced.

A 1200-horsepower gas turbine is smaller than a 750-horsepower diesel engine, and even less than a third of the latter.

However, due to the different structures, its length is as high as 1 meter, and in order to prevent shock and sand, as well as to facilitate remote control and automation, the whole set of equipment is sealed into a 'boxed body', which looks like a TV cabinet.

Fortunately, it can be used to generate electricity at home, and there is no need to add a gearbox with a large reduction ratio at the front end, and it can be generated by simply integrating wind turbine tower technology.

It is mated to an 800kW generator that consumes 322 litres of diesel and 430 litres of petrol per hour.

The supercapacitor adopts three parallel connections, three series connections, and then sets up a circuit board, integrates an ammeter, an inductor, a potentiometer, etc., to form a 'voltage and current compensation' system to avoid 'water-splashing' discharge.

In this way, the high-power DC motor is stimulated, and the four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive is realized through the gearbox, and the whole vehicle will run.

However, at present, it is only to test whether the solution is reasonable, and the follow-up will be miniaturization, miniaturization, and the development of many automotive-grade chips.

Step into the lab.

A large number of units are fixed on the work table and are operated by numerical control to test how to lay them out more rationally in order to construct the chassis of the car.

In addition, there are several computers that come with the laboratory, which can read out a series of data for researchers to refer to......

After negotiating the matter of Hongqi Automobile, although Xu Fei did not take office, he had already floated.

Even forget about the gearbox.

"Uncle Lan, how about you look at this plan and use it as a high-end car for Hongqi?"

'Do you want your own chairman to fly directly?' ’

Lan Feng didn't answer, and after careful observation, he instantly figured out the principle and purpose, "How much power do you plan to shrink to?" ”

"About 500 horsepower, and then reduce fuel consumption, and strive to achieve 200 liters of fuel, 500 kilometers of range." The mechanical engineer responded.

Lan Feng picked up a pen and paper from the sign-in desk at the door and calculated, "Great idea, but the capacitor is a bit big, and the motor is also added, and the overall layout is very troublesome." ”

"At present, there are two schemes, one is to put the gas turbine at the rear of the car, the motor and supercapacitor at the front of the car, and in case of emergency, you can also use the gas turbine to drive directly, so an adaptive transmission is added."

"The technical requirements are very high, especially in the production process."

"In the second solution, the gas turbine is placed at the front of the car, and the exhaust emissions are carried out throughout the car, and then the sound is muffled, and at the same time, the electrical energy is transmitted to the motor and supercapacitor at the rear of the car."

"This is relatively stable, but the gas turbine will consume a lot of fuel when it starts, and the consumption of idling can also reach eighty percent of the full power output, how to solve it?"

"I'm sorry, but this involves the 'cold start-stop' of the gas turbine, which is a corporate secret."

“……”

Lan Feng was silent for a long time, and found Xu Fei, who was communicating with FAW electrical engineers.

"Director Xu, I wonder if you have any good ideas for the operation of Hongqi Automobile?"

"Oh?"

Xu Fei thought for a moment, and directly put the idea of making his own car on Hongqi, "I have three strategies, which one do you want?" ”

Lan Feng squinted slightly, "The best strategy!" ”

"I introduced a few ordinary production lines, made Hongqi an ordinary brand, and let it enter thousands of households, accounting for half of the automobile market, but since then it has fallen to the altar."

"Where's the middle strategy?"

"Make Hongqi ultra-high-end, focusing on quality and image, launch official cars, executive cars, and head-level extended cars, and then I use my personal connections, such as to the chairman of TEP (North America), to the founder of TEP, to the chairman of Carlyle Investment, to the founder of Bain Capital, and if possible, to the chairman of North America.

In this way, to create the image of a luxury car, just wait for the buyer to come to the door.

However, high-end cars need cutting-edge technology, and it is estimated that Hongqi Automobile cannot afford to buy technology and production lines, so it can only find Daze Power OEM. ”

"OEM? Is this still domestic? ”

Lan Feng shook his head in denial, "What's the next step?" ”

"In the future, Hongqi Automobile will only be responsible for supplying review cars and courtesy cars, and nothing else."

"This one is even worse. In fact, we tried to make Hongqi into an ordinary brand, such as applying the production line of Audi 100 to reproduce the small Hongqi, but it is a pity that we can't do high-end...... Director Xu, if you introduce a high-end production line from TEP, how much investment is needed? ”

"It's hard to say, in addition to the three most expensive parts of the car, the engine, gearbox, chassis architecture, as well as the vehicle design, vehicle-grade chips, power windows, automatic door stoppers, various lights, various horns, and various on-board players...... It's too much, and if you want a completely localized 'Hongqi factory', you can't get it if you sell FAW. ”

"What about the introduction of only the 'three major pieces' technology and production line?"

"It is estimated that TEP will not be sold."

“……”

Xu Fei saw that Lan Feng fell into contemplation again, and hurriedly pulled away the FAW electrical engineer next to him, "Brother, we are treated very well, especially in research, with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, including food and housing." ”

The latter glanced back at Lan Feng, "Then let's just say it." ”

"Yes, I'll be on the job tonight. However, what is that messy uncle doing? ”

"He? CNC programming. ”

"Can you help me with an introduction?"

"Harm, you are about to become the director of Hongqi Factory, and everyone will be colleagues in the future, so you must know each other in advance."

"Where's the uncle at the door?"

"Automation."

"In other words, is Hongqi headquartered in FAW General Factory? I want to hurry up and get on board. ”
