Chapter 1198 Hooked

After being stunned for a while, Massimiano Najork said in surprise: "This is impossible!"

Yang Zhijun didn't mean to talk to Massimiano Najork, he was not annoyed at being suspected at all, instead he said with a smile: "Well... I fully understand that the Prius is really good in terms of fuel consumption control, but in In our comparison test, the fuel consumption of this gearbox is indeed lower than that of the Prius, and on average, the fuel consumption per 0.2 kilometers is about [-] liters lower."

The fuel consumption per 0.2 kilometers is only [-] liters lower, which is really not much lower, but if it is lower, it is lower. This cannot be denied.

Of course, Yang Zhijun leaked this to Massimiano Najork on purpose.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Zhijun's words, Massimiano Najork on the other end of the phone was stunned again: Is the fuel consumption of Huateng Group's new generation hybrid system really so low? !
But right away, thinking of the data given by Yang Zhijun, he felt a little hesitant: even the specific comparison of fuel consumption has come out, so the possibility of lying should not be great, right?In other words, they are really likely to develop a hybrid system that is better than the hybrid system on the Stealing Oil Otter Prius?
If what he said is true, it means that Huateng Group has not only completed the design of the new generation hybrid system, but has even gone through product development and entered the product testing stage?

God, it's scary!
This guess frightened Massimiano Najork a little.

Of course, Massimiano Najork knew better that he could not trust Yang Zhijun's words without any doubts. With a turn of his eyes, Massimiano Najork asked Yang Zhijun: " Yang, when I visit your company this time, can I visit your hybrid system?"

"This one……"

Sure enough, as Massimiano Najork had guessed, Yang Zhijun's tone was hesitant.

Massimiano Najork did not use the aggressive method. He knew very well that at this time and the person he was facing, the aggressive method would have no effect at all, so he changed his tone and said sincerely: "Yang, I know that Huateng Group has always been a company that pays great attention to patents and abides by international business rules. I believe that if your group has developed a new generation of hybrid systems, it must have applied for corresponding patents and even established its own Patent matrix, right?"

Hearing what Massimiano Najork said, Yang Zhijun nodded slightly: "Well...that's right..."

This is what Massimiano Najorque was waiting for!

So as soon as Yang Zhijun finished speaking, he immediately said, "Yang, our two companies are partners, and we will even deepen our cooperation in the future, right?"

Of course there is no objection to this, Yang Zhijun responded: "Uh...that's of course..."

"That's right," Massimiano Najork said immediately: "Based on the relationship between our two companies, some technical things can actually be disclosed to each other in advance, such as your new hybrid system. ..."

Before Massimiano Najorque finished speaking, Yang Zhijun emphasized: "This system is the core secret of our group!"

"Of course, of course, this is the core secret of your group. We respect it very much, and we have absolutely no bad ideas," Massimiano Najork immediately expressed his position—although he himself I don't even believe it. If there is a chance to get something from the Huateng Group, will Getrag not get it?It's funny—but then, he changed his tone and said, "Since you have applied for a patent, and the product has entered the final testing stage before going on the market, why can't you allow us to visit it?

Anyway, you have patents in hand, and it is impossible for us to infringe on your patents, and understanding the technical level of our partners will also help us carry out the next stage of cooperation plans, right? "

In order to persuade Yang Zhijun to allow him to visit Huateng Group's new generation hybrid system, Massimiano Najork also worked hard.

"This is impossible!"

Even if Massimiano Nayorke said the hype, Yang Zhijun refused to let go: "Technology openness is equal..."

"Of course, of course," Massimiano Najork wanted to pretend to be confused at first, but after Yang Zhijun said this, he immediately said: "You are right, the opening of technology is equal. Yes, if you have an idea to visit our technology, you can definitely bring it up, and we can have a technical exchange between the two sides."

Massimiano Najork also understood in his heart that although Getrag is an established developer of transmission technology, it really has no advantage in hybrid technology. Judging from their experience, European and American companies do not have any "high-tech aura" in Huateng Group. When they look at European and American companies, they never "look up". It is impossible to get benefits from Huateng Automobile.

If Yang Zhijun didn't mention this and was bluffed by himself, then that's fine. It's equivalent to making money for himself, but as long as he brings it up, he'd better give a corresponding response.

"Um...that's it..."

Hearing what Massimiano Najorque said, Yang Zhijun seemed a little moved.

Massimiano Najork on the other end of the phone was not at all surprised by Yang Zhijun's reaction: After all, Getrag is a world-class transmission system supplier, with much deeper background and technical strength than Huateng Group. Now that I promise that everyone can visit each other's technology, isn't it normal for Yang Zhijun to be excited?

The bait had already been thrown out, and he waited quietly for Yang Zhijun's answer.

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Yang Zhijun said, "I don't care about this matter, but I can pass on your words to Mr. Zhang."

What Massimiano Najorque was waiting for was Yang Zhijun's words!

Didn't he know that his request was beyond Yang Zhijun's authority?Of course he knew, but as long as Yang Zhijun was willing to convey his request to Zhang Qihang, he would be satisfied.Immediately replied: "No problem, I am waiting for your good news..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then changed the subject again: "By the way, Yang, regarding the joint development of the dual-clutch gearbox between us, Mr. Zhang's idea is..."

"Mr. Zhang is a little interested, but how to put it, he is not very interested," Yang Zhijun said honestly, "Mr. Yorke, you may know, of course, you may not know, that is, our group is developing a 6-speed parallel shaft transmission box."

They are all smart people, there is no need for Yang Zhijun to go on, Massimiano Nayorke immediately understood the future development plan of Huateng Group: there are three parallel shafts with 4-speed, 5-speed and 6-speed For automatic transmissions, Huateng Group has achieved complete coverage of automatic transmissions for different positioning models, coupled with their current pure extended-range hybrid solution and a new generation of hybrid technology solution that is being tested, dual-clutch gearbox For Huateng Group, it is really dispensable. It is probably only the cost advantage that can attract Huateng Group to develop dual-clutch gearboxes: unless compared with parallel shaft gearboxes, dual-clutch gearboxes have obvious and huge advantages. Cost advantage, otherwise, why would Huateng Group give up the parallel-shaft gearbox that it has produced for many years and has rich experience, and turn to the embrace of dual-clutch gearbox.

But it was because he understood this point, and thinking of the news that Huateng Group was willing to transfer the technology of parallel-shaft gearboxes to other Huaxia automobile manufacturers, that Massimiano Najork found it difficult: If GETRAG's dual-clutch gearbox does not have cost and price advantages, it will not be able to attract Huaxia automobile manufacturers represented by Huateng Group, but the problem is that this is exactly the opposite of Getrag's original intention. It is planned to make the dual-clutch transmission a "nobility" in the field of automatic transmissions, but who would have thought that the plan would not be as fast as the change, and I have just started to act on my side, and the dual-clutch can only take the low-end route?
What the hell is this called?
Thinking of this level, Massimiano Najork was extremely annoyed.

But if you are annoyed, Massimiano Najork knows better in his heart that he must suppress his unhappiness at the moment, and he replied with a smile: "Hehe... I heard about it, but I am still determined I believe that the dual-clutch gearbox is the development direction of the automatic transmission system, and I will convince him in the next interview with Mr. Zhang.”

Yang Zhijun was not surprised by Massimiano Najorque's response. To put it mildly, what this guy said was "maintaining the consistent self-confidence of European and American companies, and firmly believing that the path he is taking must be correct. ", to be straightforward, the eyes grew on the top of the head, and he smiled and said a piece of nonsense: "I also hope that the two sides can reach a cooperation in a wider range."

........................

After hanging up the phone, Massimiano Najork looked at the time. At this moment, Getrag's headquarters had just started work. He organized his words in his mind, and then called John McDonald. , After a few simple greetings, Massimiano Najork took the initiative to introduce the situation to John McDonald: "Sir, I just communicated with Yang, the CEO of Huateng Group. That being said, there are good sides and there are bad sides.”

Hearing what Massimiano Najork said, John McDonald raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Tell me carefully."

"Okay," Massimiano Najork responded, and said, "The good thing is that Huateng Group has agreed to my request for a visit..."

John Macdonald responded, and was not at all surprised by this result: Huateng Group and Getrag are in a cooperative relationship, not to mention that the two parties want to cooperate, even if it is just a courtesy visit, the other party will not refuse. Watch what Massimiano Najorque has to say next.

"There are several bad aspects," Massimiano Najork continued: "The first one is that Huateng Group wants to develop a 6-speed parallel shaft gearbox, so they are very interested in cooperating with us to develop a dual-shaft gearbox. There is interest in the matter of the clutch gearbox, but not much interest."

"Is that so..."

John McDonald frowned immediately when he heard this.

This kind of situation of "partners are interested, but not very interested, because we have similar technologies in our hands" is the last thing any company wants to encounter, because it means that there is not much room for bargaining on their side. It is impossible to sell the dual-clutch technology in hand at a high price.

Massimiano Najork replied: "Yes."

"Well," John MacDonald frowned and continued, "Is there anything else, let's talk about it together."

"Okay," Massimiano Najork replied, "The second is that Huateng Group is already developing their second-generation hybrid technology. Yang Zhijun revealed to me that it is their first hybrid technology. The second-generation hybrid technology has completely solved the problem of high fuel consumption of the first-generation extended-range hybrid at high speeds, and the high-speed fuel consumption is 0.2 liters lower than that of the Prius."

John MacDonald frowned again when he heard this.

Compared with what Massimiano Nayork just said about taking you first, this makes him feel more anxious: If Huateng Group is really already developing the second-generation hybrid technology, then Getrag It is really difficult to sell the dual-clutch technology in my hand at a good price...

Of course, he must treat such a big matter with caution, and immediately asked Massimiano Najork in a deep voice: "Maxi, are you sure the other party didn't lie to you?"

Massimiano Najork responded: "I also considered this possibility, so I raised a little doubt at the time, but Yang Zhijun said that their second-generation hybrid system has entered the testing stage. This fuel consumption situation was completed in the comparison test, and then I asked if I could visit their hybrid system. Yang Zhijun disagreed at first, but after my repeated persuasion, he agreed to convey this request to Zhang Qihang ..."

Speaking of this, Massimiano Nayorke emphasized his tone: "So, I think it is quite possible that they have developed a second-generation hybrid system."

"..."

John MacDonald stopped talking. Massimiano Najork's message made him hesitate, and made him even more anxious.

If Huateng Group's second-generation hybrid system has really entered the testing stage, and the test results are still so good, coupled with the ongoing 6-speed parallel shaft gearbox project in their hands, then there is no doubt that Getrag The attractiveness of dual-clutch technology will inevitably plummet. The most terrible thing is that the damn Huateng Group will also spread their parallel axis technology to the entire Huaxia automobile enterprise group, which once again reduces the dual-clutch technology. The attractiveness of manufacturing companies...

Damn, how can there be such an unlikable business?

For a moment, John McDonald was extremely annoyed, his teeth itching with hatred.
