Chapter 1029 Mr. Zhang is too interesting
"Mr. Zhang, congratulations..."

Seeing Zhang Qihang, Lao Wei and Ms. Wang came up to congratulate. From their point of view, Zhang Qihang's ability to become the general manager of Sinotruk Group is definitely something worthy of congratulations.

Zhang Qihang waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Don't say congratulations, I'm suffering from a headache now."

Why do you have a headache?
If you want to turn such a company from loss to profit, there are countless things that need to be done, countless joints that need to be sorted out, old relationships that need to be broken, and old interests that need to be broken. It can be said that as long as Zhang Qihang accepts this appointment , the first target he wants to operate on is the Sinotruk Group. Facing this kind of pressure, how can he not be under too much pressure?

Mr. Wei certainly understood this, and he agreed with a full face: "It is indeed difficult to deal with a large state-owned enterprise like Sinotruk Group with decades of history, but I firmly believe that Mr. Zhang will be able to handle it well."

Zhang Qihang, on the other hand, saw Mr. Wei, and his heart suddenly moved.

When it comes to Mr. Wei’s company, there are many comments from everyone, such as walking on one leg and refusing to embrace new energy, but one thing everyone has to admit is that Mr. Wei attaches great importance to anti-corruption and anti-corruption. Among the major OEMs in China, Mr. Wei's company is the most in-depth and strictest in anti-corruption and anti-corruption. This company can be well-deserved to say that they are one of the cleanest automobile manufacturers in China and even in the world today. That being the case, why didn't I learn from Boss Wei?

After all, Sinotruk Group is able to achieve today's situation. Internal corruption and entangled nepotism have made considerable "contributions". Of course, there are also skills in how to fight corruption. Anti-corruption is not doing work, it is courting death.

Silently keeping this point in mind, Zhang Qihang smiled calmly and said, "I won't talk about these, Mr. Wei, Mr. Wang, are you satisfied with the visit these days?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied," Mr. Wei couldn't help being a little excited when talking about the visit these days: "Vice President Jiang took us to visit many places in your company, including the core R&D department and design department. I know that our Huateng Industrial Group is very good at design and R&D, but after visiting, I realized that our group is so good in these two fields!"

Regarding the strength of Huateng Industrial Group in design and R&D, Mr. Wei, apart from drooling with envy, made up his mind secretly. After returning home, he will definitely increase investment in design and R&D. It will take 10 years , and preliminarily created a design and R&D team with combat effectiveness.

"President Wei, you are being polite..."

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhang Qihang took the initiative to say: "Mr. Wei, you told our Vice President Jiang earlier that you planned to purchase 5000 engines every year. Of course, this is no problem, but don't you think about our gearbox?"

Although Jiang He told Mr. Wei earlier that the specific cooperation framework can be discussed after Zhang Qihang returns, but after the visit and having personally experienced the power of Huateng Industrial Group, how could Mr. Wei have no idea?

He knew in his heart that Huateng Industrial Group was polite to him, which was enough, but his company's orders were really not enough, so he happily confessed to Jianghe: in the first year of cooperation, his The company plans to purchase a total of 5000 passenger car gasoline engines from Huateng Industrial Group every year. As for the purchase ratio of 2.0 and 2.4 engines, it is initially set at 3:1, and the annual purchase amount will be based on the feedback of the previous year. Make adjustments.

Although this purchase is not a large amount, it is still a project with a total profit of tens of millions. The most important thing is to be worry-free. Of course, Jianghe has no objection, and he readily agreed, expressing that he will feed this demand back to Zhang Qihang. .

"Gearbox?"

President Wei frowned.

Zhang Qihang nodded and said: "Mr. Wei and Mr. Wang, to tell you the truth, after your Cypher was launched, our group purchased a few cars for experience. I will let you know how the power system matches. Not to mention, just talking about this gearbox, the gears are vague, not easy to shift gears, and the gear ratio settings between the gears are not reasonable enough. In addition, our testers told me that there are occasional shifts In short, the overall performance of this gearbox is relatively average..."

Old Wei's expression was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Qihang’s remarks are actually very embarrassing to Lao Wei. In fact, it’s not just the gearbox. The engine on the Cypher is in even worse condition. This Great Wall’s own production is based on the oil-stealing 4Y engine technology. Although the output engine has a displacement of 2.2 liters, its maximum power is only 75 kilowatts, and its liter power is only 34 kilowatts, which is not only far lower than the 20 kilowatts of Huateng HT24 and HT56, but even higher than those produced by Fengtian Aerospace Mitsubishi, The 45G4 with a liter power of only 63 kilowatts is also far inferior.

It is precisely because the maximum power is only 75 kilowatts, and Cypher is so big and heavy that the maximum speed of this car is only 130 kilometers per hour, and is limited by the accumulation of car-making technology, but Cypher ran to When the speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour, even two people sitting on the front and the co-pilot can only communicate by shouting. This is why Lao Wei is eager to find an engine for Cypher: 491QE engine It’s okay to use it on a pickup truck, but it’s really inappropriate to use it on a car that is positioned as a passenger like Saifu—this is why Lao Wei and Ms. Wang came to Huateng Industrial Group for cooperation. The self-produced power system is really too hip.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed expression of Old Wei, Zhang Qihang waved his hand: "Wei Dong, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to laugh at you, your company is different from ours, and the resources and support from the country are not comparable to ours. Compared with Huateng Group, we Huateng Group should be able to achieve the current level.

As for you, when the national automobile industry in our country is still at a very backward stage, you can come up with such an original SUV product with a starting price of less than 8. All the shortcomings and problems are not shortcomings and problems. "

Zhang Qihang's words were telling the truth, but when he heard them in Lao Wei's ears, he was more than moved.

To be honest, since the Cypher was launched, although the sales have been increasing, there have been many criticisms, such as "pickup SUV", "pickup truck", rough workmanship, and poor power system matching. ... In short, all kinds of yin and yang strange words came.

Although none of these voices came from the official, but hearing these voices, Lao Wei felt somewhat wronged: Is it because I don’t want to make the car better?But our strength and technology are only at this level, and we have shown our greatest sincerity. If you go to buy a joint venture car at a price of less than 10, you can’t even buy a small Sail. But now, buy ours Isn't it normal that you can buy an SUV this big and give up a few things for it?
But now hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Lao Wei felt really comfortable.

But comfort is comfortable. As the leader of a company, he must consider various possibilities. If the engine is purchased from Huateng Industrial Group, and the gearbox is used from Huateng Industrial Group, then...

However, even though he had various worries in his heart, it was difficult for him to speak out directly.

Seeing the entanglement on Old Wei's face, Zhang Qihang smiled: "Is Director Wei worried?"

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Old Wei smiled a little embarrassedly: "This...hehe..."

"It's normal to have concerns in your heart. If I were in your position, Chairman Wei, I would have similar concerns." Zhang Qihang nodded understandingly and said, "But don't worry, Mr. Wei, I'm just making such a suggestion. , if you think it is beneficial to you, you can adopt it, if you think it will not bring you many benefits, then you can’t adopt it... But I have a suggestion for your product line layout. "

Hearing Zhang Qihang say that this is not mandatory, Lao Wei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "You tell me."

"The 491QE powertrain, as the existence of lowering the threshold of car purchase, you can continue to use, but our HT20 and HT24, you can use it as a breakthrough in price, such as the 2004 four-wheel drive super luxury you just launched model, the price is only 89800, but if you choose our HT20 plus automatic transmission powertrain, can the price break through to 11? If there are consumers who are looking for better power performance and more convenient driving experience, then Can the power combination of HT24 and automatic transmission also satisfy them?"

"Is that so..."

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Lao Wei thought about it, and was really moved: Yes, because the engine and gearbox are not good, the price of Cypher is very conservative. Of course, this conservative price is also a hot seller for this car. The reason, but if it is equipped with a better powertrain, can the price of its own products break through the ceiling?
Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Ms. Wang, wanting to see his old partner's opinion.

Ms. Wang was obviously a little moved, but after pondering for a while, Ms. Wang asked Zhang Qihang carefully: "Mr. Zhang, your proposal is indeed very constructive, but this matter is not small after all, we still have to discuss it internally. , I hope you can understand."

"Of course, that's what it should be," Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded, "By the way, I would venture to ask, our company should already be developing a replacement model for Cypher, right? I made an SUV when I was free. The renderings are given to you, it is considered as a meeting gift for the cooperation between our two companies."

After speaking, Zhang Qihang took out a document bag from his bag and handed it to Wei.

Old Wei and Ms. Wang were a little confused.

When Zhang Qihang asked whether they were developing a replacement model of Cypher, the two of them trembled in their hearts: How did Zhang Qihang know that he was already quietly developing a replacement model of Cypher?Could it be that their Huateng Industrial Group planted spies inside their company?
But after listening to Zhang Qihang's next words and seeing the document bag Zhang Qihang handed over, Lao Wei and Ms. Wang were dumbfounded: What do you mean?Zhang Qihang designed an SUV, and then used this car as a meeting gift to celebrate the cooperation between the two companies?
Zhang Qihang's level and ability in car design are not only recognized domestically, but also internationally recognized with the endorsement of Mercedes-Benz. How could you give yourself a rendering worth at least tens of millions?
For a while, both Old Wei and Ms. Wang felt like they were hit by a pie falling from the sky, but they couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to them.

But Old Wei is Old Wei. After subconsciously taking the file bag, he hesitated and asked tentatively, "Then...Mr. Zhang, can I just open it?"

"Open it," Zhang Qihang said, "This book is for you."

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Old Wei hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, opened the file bag, and pulled out the few pages inside. The next moment, seeing the rendering on the top, Old Wei and Ms. Qiqi was stunned: This car...

Yes, after the Cypher was launched and achieved hot sales, combined with the market performance of the Mitsubishi Outlander produced by Shouqi and the first SUV of Huateng Industrial Group, Lao Wei and Ms. Wang made a judgment: Compared with The fiercely competitive sedan products and cross-border products such as SUVs are currently a blue ocean, and it is officially a time when the world is vast and promising.

And Cypher can help us open up the SUV market, but if we want to survive better in the SUV market, the "rough" Cypher is not enough, and we need to come up with a higher-quality SUV product .

So starting last month, under the leadership of Lao Wei, a project team temporarily named "Second Generation Cypher" was established. It was said to be the second generation of Cypher, but in fact, Lao Wei proposed a proposal for this product. The extremely high requirements not only require all the problems found on Cypher to be improved, but also put forward new requirements for the ride experience and comfort. During the internal meeting, Lao Wei even described this product as "breaking the Great Wall". It is a key product for domestic first-tier auto brands."

What Lao Wei and Ms. Wang didn't expect was that Zhang Qihang gave himself a rendering of the SVU while he was shouting slogans, and this rendering fit his heart so well...

Can it not fit the wishes of Lao Wei and Ms. Wang? This is the rendering of Haval CUV.

Speaking of Haval CUV, there are few car fans who don’t know the significance of the Haval CUV to Lao Wei’s company: If Saifu made Great Wall famous in the SUV market, then the CUV is the Let Great Wall gain a firm foothold in the SUV market!It can be said that the future Great Wall dares to claim to be the "China SUV market leader", and the CUV product accounts for at least half of the credit.

Now that Zhang Qihang directly revealed this car, it is no wonder that Lao Wei is not dumbfounded or stunned: Why does this car suit his heart so much?
　It should be positive, but it’s strange. I haven’t had a high fever. I’ve always had a low-grade fever, cough, and fear of cold. I usually turn on the air conditioner at 20 degrees at home, but it’s 26 degrees these two days. I have to add a quilt to sleep. Twelve or thirteen hours have passed since I woke up. By the way, I haven’t had a good appetite for the past two days. I only have less than half of my usual appetite. I curiously asked my brothers, what strain is this?
　　In addition, the daughter-in-law should also have a positive cough, but what is different from the millennium is that the daughter-in-law has a high fever. strain?
