Domestic time, January 27.

That is, the day after Sattler and many leaders returned to Yanjing, at ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Ye was sitting in the office and reading documents, which were mainly reports of some project teams, reports of other departments, etc., explaining their recent work status and work progress, as well as some applications or requirements.

"The Shanghai-market negotiations are finally over?"

"Three storefronts, and even one on Jinling Road? Peace Hotel just around the corner? It's a good location! ”

"Not bad! Pretty good! Call! ”

After seeing the report submitted by Xu Jiaojiao's team in Shanghai, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, about the Shanghai market, Wang Ye is also uneasy in his heart, the most critical factor is that the Shanghai market as the lead, the ministry is cooperating, the Shanghai Automobile is about to be reorganized, and the German Volkswagen is in contact with the relationship, this Shanghai-Volkswagen plan is quite huge, and the influence is very far-reaching.

In the past, the cooperation between Shanghai and Volkswagen will be reached this year, that is, in 83 years.

In the past few years, foreign cars have been imported into the country, and in this project, the two sides will adopt a 50% shareholding in the form of a joint venture, and will produce Volkswagen cars in China.

Then Santana's car will enter the country, that is, the "old Poussin" often said in later generations, the first batch of only a few hundred units, through the import of all parts, the form of domestic assembly is completed, that is, often said CKD production, but the joint venture of Shanghai Volkswagen was really established, it has been 85 years, the same year Santana officially mass-produced.

In fact, this project has started the development trajectory of market-for-technology in the automotive field in China.

So to a certain extent, this is a historical landmark cooperation, and the Shanghai market has such an important cooperation in its hands, in fact, it can not give anyone face, even if you Red Star Consortium is a big foreign exchange earner, how awesome it is, but the first batch of CKD Santana cars will soon be off the assembly line, and ready to go public, in order to achieve the effect of regional protection, do not let you enter the Shanghai market, you go to Yanjing to find a ministry and commission.

And if the Shanghai market does not nod, then the cars of the Red Star Consortium can only be bought and sold in the surrounding areas, and it is impossible to set up "franchise stores" in the urban area, so to a certain extent, the sales effect will definitely be much worse.

"Sure enough, in front of foreign exchange, everyone has to bow their heads."

"Change is already happening!"

Finally, Wang Ye put down the report in his hand, and then sighed softly.

"Next, there are still more than two years before the mass production of Santana."

"If you want to take the lead in these two years and change the development trajectory of domestic automobiles, it is not easy to overall!"

Nowadays, the pickup truck of the consortium is still nominally a "passenger and cargo" car, and even in order to facilitate access to the Shanghai market, it still uses the name of "agricultural vehicle", and in fact it is true, the pickup truck can not be regarded as a real car, and its engine, chassis, and gearbox are extremely deficient.

In order to compete head-on with the future Santana, the consortium must produce real cars, otherwise when Santana is listed, pickup trucks will only be left with tool car attributes, and the market of "family cars", especially the high-end passenger car market, will be swallowed up by Santana until more and more joint venture brands appear.

Just when Wang Ye was thinking to himself.

"Bang bang bang!"

With a knock on the door, Wang Ye shouted to come in, and then Bai Tingyu rushed to open the door and said in surprise to Wang Ye inside:

"Factory director, a tank has been sent from Yanjing."

"A lot of the commissioners went to see it!"

Hearing this, a touch of joy suddenly appeared on Wang Ye's face, the tank he sent over was naturally the gift that Sattler gave him, a T-72 tank from the Soviet Union!

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Then Wang Ye stood up, put on his coat and left the office.

In fact, for Wang Ye personally, the T-72 tank is almost of little value, after all, the military industrial system of later generations has eaten up the T-72, so when Wang Ye was in the desert, the reason why he wanted to say the same thing with Sattler was mainly due to the country, as well as the engineers and technicians of the consortium.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people in the consortium who are engaged in tanks, so for the "advanced 2.5 generation" tank like the T-72, it is still quite desirable and demanding, after all, the domestic 59 and 69 can only be regarded as the first generation of tanks, and the gap between the world is relatively large, in a sense, when its own scientific research is weak, even the world development trend can not be mastered, it is difficult to make advanced things, and the significance of the T-72 lies in this.

At least, through the study of it, we can let everyone know the development trajectory and direction of the second- and third-generation tanks of the Soviet Union!

A moment later, Wang Ye arrived at a clearing.

I saw that there were more than 50 people in the open space, and the older they were, the older they were, and the most central position was the T-72 tank sent from Yanjing.

The tank was originally transported in the form of parts, and now it has been assembled, and from the appearance, the tank has almost no fatal damage, and the whole is very complete.

"Anyway, it's a big thing!"

"Isn't it, the length feels at least nearly a meter longer than our 59."

"It's wide, too! At least it's wide! ”

"Hey, there's also this 125 tank gun, if it weren't for the 130 cannon we had already made, I'm afraid I'd have to look at this cannon for a long time!"

"Hahaha, isn't it? But now that I look at it, it's just so-so! ”

"The armor on the front of the turret, I knocked it just now, it should be composite, but I don't know what material is inside, when can I cut it and take a look?"

Wang Ye walked over and heard all kinds of discussions, everyone's attention was focused on this tank, no one even noticed Wang Ye's arrival, and Wang Ye didn't make a sound, just quietly watched while listening to everyone's discussions.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that a member of the committee asked the relevant staff member who was responsible for transporting the tank from Yanjing next to him:

"Can you drive it? Take a look at the two laps! ”

To this question, the staff nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course there is no problem!"

Then everyone began to disperse to prepare to make way, and only then did they notice that Wang Ye was actually standing behind everyone, and then a commotion sounded:

"Huh? The factory director is here! ”

"Hahaha! Factory director, you don't want us to celebrate the New Year, right? ”

"I think that's what it means, seeing that it's the New Year, I got this thing for us!"

"Factory director, it really has to be you! This face is too good! ”

"But I have to say, the Saudis are so generous!"

With a noisy and noisy voice, Wang Ye looked at several elderly committee members next to him, and then asked with a smile:

"How about the teachers, do you see anything?"

"Do you feel the gap between us and Big Brother?"

Faced with Wang Ye's question, several committee members in charge of different fields of tanks glanced at each other, and then after thinking about their language, they said successively:

"From the appearance alone, the most intuitive thing is that the T-72 is bigger."

"I don't feel obvious in other aspects, such as artillery, although they use 125 smoothbore guns, but we are also working on 130, in fact, it's okay!"

"I can't say that, I think there is still a gap in terms of chassis!"

"However, although they are 125 mm smoothbore guns, they still have learning value for us, and I think there is enough reference for the structure of the gun, the use of space inside the turret, and even the reduction of the caliber of our 130 cannon in the future."

"And armor! Right! And armor! Lao Maozi's rolling technology is much stronger than ours! ”

"And then there's the engine"

Just when the committee members were talking about it, the T-72 not far away finally started, with the roar of the "rumbling" engine, bursts of black smoke were exhausted from behind, and a strong smell of diesel came, and then the T-72 tank began to move slowly.

"From the sound of the engine, I guess it's a V-shaped 12-cylinder."

"Indeed, the sound is very different from the V-shaped 16-cylinder experimental machine that we are currently working on."

"I think this field can be used as a reference, at present, our 16-cylinder engine research progress is not very good, mainly because the processing and strength of the crankshaft are difficult to guarantee, and the torque output is greatly limited."

"That's right, but with the structure of our current V8 engine, if it is increased to 12 cylinders, there will be a big gap in power."

"And the gearbox, I don't know how they did it, we can refer to it!"

"Hey, I don't know how many horses Lao Maozi's engine has?"

When the tank began to move, the committee members present could not help but start talking again, and the T-72 tank also stopped again after driving around in the open space at a slow pace.

Finally, a member with glasses said eagerly:

"In fact, the most important thing is the equipment in the car!"

"Dual-stability system, infrared ranging equipment, night vision devices, these are all treasures!"

"At present, we have just started in the field of these equipment, and the domestic level is average, which is where we should learn and learn the most!"

"Guys, do you have a ballistic computer or a fire control computer in this thing?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a gasping sound at the scene, and the eyes of many committee members were excited, but in the next second, I saw a staff member from Yanjing shaking his head and saying:

"We've checked, and we haven't!"

In an instant, a sigh sounded at the scene.

Although in the field of these equipment, the consortium has begun relevant research, but because of the lack of foreign product comparison, it belongs to the way of "moving forward in the dark", and this has also led to a general anxiety mentality, because there is no reference object!

In the end, Wang Ye coughed lightly, and the surroundings gradually quieted down, Wang Ye looked at a gray-haired but extraordinarily dense committee member and said with a smile:

"Member Wu, you are the chief project committee member of our tank, and you have the important task of coordinating various project teams."

"So I gave you this T-72."

"You are responsible for testing it, then dismantling it, and finally dividing the different modules into the corresponding project teams for research, on the one hand, the comparison, on the other hand, the reference, and of course, the most important aspect, that is, confrontation, the world situation is messy, we must have the ability to fight this tank!"

"And I believe that in the future, the T-72 tank will definitely become the number one opponent of our products!"

For Wang Ye's statement, everyone present nodded one after another, after all, about the conflict between Pakistan and India, everyone knows very well that India is now equipped with a lot of T-72 tanks from the Soviet Union, and the products of the future consortium will definitely become opponents with the T-72 in the hands of Pakistan.

"Understood!"

In the end, accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, although the committee members present were all old, they still shouted with full of energy, and Wang Ye smiled and said:

"Also, if you're going to conduct a destructive experiment, remember to report it to me!"

"After all, in a short period of time, we only have such a sample."

The dismantling and research of the tank must be gradual, but in the end, some destructive means are inevitable, such as the composite armor on the front of the tank turret, what kind of composite materials are used in it, and how to carry out the compound, if you want to conduct research, there is only one way, that is, to cut the turret, otherwise no one will be able to see through!

Subsequently, the tank was driven to the workshop, and then the relevant research began.

It is conceivable that for a long time to come, this tank will be disassembled, installed, disassembled, and installed over and over again, until every screw inside is polished clearly and clearly by these committee members present, without the slightest problem.

Even, with Wang Ye's understanding of the military industrial system, the team on Yanjing's side has the same research process for this T-72, but in the end, they will definitely do such a thing, that is, to copy this tank almost one-to-one, and then try to produce an almost identical product!

Unless there are some parts and mechanisms in it, it really can't be done!

However, Wang Ye is not ready to do this, although the T-72 is an excellent tank, but it is not good enough for Wang Ye to make it worth copying and copying, after all, in Wang Ye's opinion, if there is time to do this, the consortium's own tractor can also be produced, and the design concept is more advanced.

All in all, this tank is a channel, a channel for the scientists of the consortium to understand the "advanced level" of the world, instead of relying on their own points and guidance as in the past, which is not intuitive enough, and at the same time, because there is not enough reference object, the research and development progress is slow, and with this reference object, it will be much smoother.

Not to mention, this thing is essentially a teaching aid, which can greatly improve the level of scientific research in related fields.

After working in the workshop with a group of committee members for most of the day, Wang Ye did not return to his office until more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as I poured some hot water, washed the oil stains on my hands seriously, and sat down to pick up the tea jar, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello? Who is it? I'm Wang Ye. ”

Picking up the phone, Wang Ye said, and then he heard Director Liang's voice ringing:

"Wang Ye, it's me, Lao Liang."

"Let me pass you a message, just say 'yes', nothing else."

"In addition, I asked you if you want to go to Yanjing tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow, your friend Satler will be leaving by plane, do you want to send it off?"

Hearing Director Liang say this, Wang Ye smiled without thinking and said:

"Go! Of course I'll have to send him off. ”

Then the two of them chatted for a few more words and hung up the phone, and Director Liang was not curious and asked at all, what exactly is 'okay', after all, he knows very well that since he didn't tell himself, it means that this matter must be kept secret, and the less you know about this kind of confidential thing, the better!

After hanging up the phone, Wang Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea.

The so-called yes, naturally it is the cooperation with Mitsui, it happened that I went to Yanjing tomorrow, sent Sattaler the day after tomorrow, and then went to see Megumi Mitsui to finalize the plan.

Early the next morning.

Wang Ye sat in the car and dozed off, the pickup truck set off towards Quancheng, and then arrived at the Quancheng Railway Station, Wang Ye, accompanied by four inch-headed young men, got on the train to Yanjing again.

Domestic time, January 29, 10 o'clock in the morning.

Yenching International Airport.

"Goodbye! My brother. ”

"Hopefully we can meet again in the spring."

"And that time, our relationship and cooperation will also move towards a new stage, and I am very much looking forward to that day, hahaha!"

Next to the tarmac, Sattler hugged Wang Ye hard, and then said.

And Wang Ye shook his hand vigorously, and then said with a smile:

"I'm looking forward to it too."

Then, Sattler shook hands with the other farewell leaders, and finally waved his hand, turned and boarded his Boeing 747 business jet, which slid to the runway a moment later, and with a shrill engine roar, the 747 flew straight into the sky, heading for Saudi Arabia.

Wang Ye and the leaders didn't talk too much, and dispersed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ye took four young people with inches to the foreign-related hotel where Mitsui Hui lived before, and after identifying himself as a visitor, under the leadership of the staff, he came all the way to the door of the upstairs suite, and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

With Megumi Mitsui's voice sounding, the door was opened by a staff member from the inside, and I saw Megumi Mitsui sitting on the sofa not far away, looking at herself with Jiro's legs crossed at the moment.
