Few Chinese know the name of the German industrial giant MAN, where the world's first diesel engine was born and where the first electric bus was born.

In the 1970's, MAN produced an electric version of the MAN 750. Much like China, this electric bus appeared at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Later, hundreds of electric buses were upgraded and appeared in the major cities of West Germany until they disappeared at the end of the eighties.

Wang Weidong and Cao Kewen stood in the museum in Düsseldorf and looked at the two electric buses.

There is a small trailer behind the bus, and the trailer is equipped with a lead-acid battery, which is connected to the main body of the bus with a cable.

"At that time, the battery technology was backward, the volume was more dangerous, and the charging speed was slow, like a small water pipe filling water, so it was designed like this, and when the power ran out, it was enough to change the trailer directly, less than ten minutes." Cao Kewen explained.

"It's a pity that you can't buy these two electric buses in the museum!" Wang Weidong said regretfully.

"If it's just for the inverter, thirty years have passed, and it's long outdated." Cao Kewen said.

In the past 30 years, semiconductor technology can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

"I checked that the inverter on this bus was produced by the technical department of Siemens at that time, which is now Infineon. If you want to find it, you can find it, it's outdated. Cao Kewen said.

Wang Weidong carefully counted the seats on the Mann bus, there were ninety-nine of them, and the driver was exactly one hundred!

"The curb weight of the domestically designed bus is 14 tons, and the maximum weight is 17.8 tons, that is, the load capacity is 3.8 tons. This bus is definitely not fourteen tons, but it can hold a hundred people, and the total weight of a hundred people in the body of a German may be more than ten tons! Wang Weidong said.

Ten tons is much larger than the 3.4 tons of passenger vehicles being designed in China.

This is also understandable, the purpose of the passenger car in the Chinese design is to carry foreign guests, so it is naturally more comfortable, so it is not too crowded, and the interior decoration is more luxurious.

Therefore, the whole vehicle has a large mass, but there are fewer passengers.

"The output of this bus is 163 kilowatt hours, the speed is 60 kilometers per hour, and the technical requirements you bring are the maximum power of 185 kilowatt hours, the maximum speed of 85 kilometers, and the battery pack specification of 80ah, which is actually about the same." Cao Kewen said.

"Use our factory in Germany to see if we can produce it, and if it doesn't work, we will quietly purchase from Infineon, not afraid of spending money!" Then we'll come back and do it again! Wang Weidong said.

Although he is thick-skinned, he is still a little embarrassed to say this.

"If it is purchased from Infineon, Infineon will immediately think of the Olympic Games, and if the matter is exposed, it will be very bad for the country, and even worse for Xiangyang Group! Why don't those institutions that develop electric buses purchase from abroad, just to create the concept of national production? We can't do that either, the impact is not good! Cao Kewen said.

Wang Weidong is very satisfied, Cao Kewen is from China after all, and when considering problems, he first considers political influence, which is very right, those dead foreigners will not think about problems like this.

"Actually, I've thought about it carefully, and the main technical indicators we can achieve, but we can't meet indicators like energy recovery. In fact, the so-called energy recovery now only has a symbolic meaning, the actual effect is very small, and the technical difference between 5% and 50% energy recovery is too great! Cao Kewen said.

"Wait, it's easy to recover five percent of energy, it's very difficult to get fifty percent, we can set conditions, we can achieve higher energy recovery under harsh conditions, so we can pass the test, and if we can't reach it, we don't blame it, it's the objective conditions that don't allow it!" Wang Weidong said.

Cao Kewen was stunned when he heard what Wang Weidong said.

"It's like selling insurance, it's not that I don't pay, I'm definitely a credit-worthy person, but the stipulated conditions don't allow it." Wang Weidong explained.

"Do it right away, it's enough to do five units!" Wang Weidong said.

"However, our factory can only produce IGBTs for refrigerators and washing machines, and we have to purchase IGBTs for such electric vehicles from Infineon." Cao Kewen said.

"Shop now! However, within half a year, we must deliver with quality and quantity! Wang Weidong said.

The reason why Wang Weidong is so positive about this matter is the current atmosphere - every company wants to contribute to the Olympics, and this is also an opportunity to show his face.

Besides, it is still a difficult thing to do, and tell the people in China through this matter that only Xiangyang Group can do this!

When I look back on the past decades later, how many things make people feel infinitely emotional.

When the country bid for the Olympics for the first time, how many elementary school students put a few cents of pocket money in envelopes, wrote down their addresses, and threw them into the mailbox.

It was in the late 80s and early 90s, and almost all of the more than 30 million people were donated by ordinary people.

And now it's more up to entrepreneurs to contribute.

Entrepreneurs also have a simple and patriotic side, and of course there are also people who want to reap political benefits for themselves through this matter.

Even Huyazai, who has developed on Ao Island in recent years, has begun to do charity in his hometown in Fujian Province and throw a lot of money.

Song Yu met with Mr. Gao of Huayang Group to discuss the acquisition.

"It's really a problem for me to add the Bird's Beak Dam Hydropower Station, and it will increase by 10 billion at once!" Mr. Gao said with a smile.

In the past few years, he has conquered cities in China, and the projects he has acquired are very miscellaneous, and it is not just the beer industry.

"If you want me to say that the acquisition of the Bird's Beak Dam Hydropower Station is better than beer, and now the country is sending electricity from the west to the east, which is a high-quality asset! It hurts me just thinking about it! Song Yu said.

Mr. Gao looked at Song Yu with a smile and said: "Xiaoyu, I always feel that you don't want to hold the hydropower station in your hands for a long time, otherwise you won't be stuffed into Red Star shares!" ”

Song Yu gave a thumbs up to Mr. Gao and said, "It's still Mr. Gao's eyes like a torch!" Our Xiangyang Group is a private enterprise, the power industry is a bit special, you should also know how this hydropower station came into our hands, long-term holding is not good! But you don't want to take advantage of the fire to rob the door! A female hundred families begging, and there are people who want to buy! ”

No matter what form of power generation, there are not many cases of full load, especially when the power supply demand is small, whose electricity is purchased and whose electricity is connected to the Internet.

Of course, it is the priority to let your own son's electricity go online!

If this is the case, the Bird's Beak Dam hydropower station will be curtailed, and the electricity generated will not be sold and no money will be made.

The power grid is state, and there is no way to do it.

"I know there are several companies salivating over your Bird's Beak Dam Hydropower Station! But in this way, the entire acquisition will cost more than 10 billion, and I can't call the shots alone, so I have to ask for instructions from above. Mr. Gao said.

"It's going to take months for you to go back and forth! When the time comes, the shares of our Xiangyang Group will fly to the sky, and you won't feel distressed if you spend billions more? Song Yu asked.

Mr. Gao replied seriously: "Xiaoyu, money is not a problem, the key to the problem is responsibility!" ”
