Chapter 1345: The Mouse is Going to Be the Cat's Bridesmaid

It must be said that although the oil thief had his own little ideas, in the information provided to Yifeng, they still clearly stated that the hybrid system they were going to provide to Yifeng was the 02 model, which is the THS hybrid system installed on the first generation Prius.

As for why the first-generation THS hybrid system is provided instead of the second generation, Otter stated in the document that this was "based on cost considerations" and even gave the cost difference between the two hybrid systems.

In the conference room, Gu Mingjun looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, have you all read the documents provided by Touyouta before? Tell us your opinions. What do you think of Touyouta's suggestions?"

Bao Feng, director of the Technology Research and Development Department, was the most sensitive about technology. Upon hearing this, he was the first to express his attitude: "I don't think it's very good."

Gu Mingjun was not surprised by Bao Feng's fierce attitude, but nodded: "Old Bao, tell me your reasons."

"I think the most important point is that the performance of the first-generation THS hybrid system of the Otter is too weak," Bao Feng sighed. "The maximum power of the No. 29 motor, which is the main drive motor, is only 29 kilowatts. What can this power do?"

"Hey, Lao Bao, let me interrupt for a moment," said Director Li of the Production Technology Department, who was a little impatient. "Although the performance of the THS hybrid system of the Otter is good, the maximum output power is not only 29 kilowatts, but also part of the power of the gasoline engine..."

"I know, but the maximum output power is only 68 horsepower," Bao Feng retorted, "but what about the drive motor on the Huateng Excelle? It's 70 kilowatts! Whether it's the acceleration capability in various speed ranges or the top speed, can the performance of the first-generation THS system of the Otter be compared with the system of the Huateng Group?"

"This..." Director Li grunted for a long time, and finally said, "But the system of the Otter is more fuel-efficient."

Bao Feng sneered: "Yes, you are right, this system is indeed fuel-efficient. The actual fuel consumption per 3.5 kilometers is only 3.6 to liters, but how did you get this low fuel consumption? Don't you know?

Changan's old Alto Happy Prince has similar acceleration performance and fuel consumption to this Prius, but the Happy Prince is much cheaper than the 03 Prius. Why don't we talk to Changan and just use the old Alto's equipment?"

Director Li's face turned red with anger: "You...you...you are simply unreasonable!"

A low laugh suddenly rang out in the conference room - what Lao Bao said was really hurtful, but then again, the old Alto was really fuel-efficient, and the Oil Thief Otter was indeed lacking in sincerity in using this hybrid system to cooperate with us.

Gu Mingjun couldn't help laughing.

Before, when Satoshi Nakata talked to him about this matter and repeatedly assured him that the first-generation THS hybrid system of the Oil-Thief was the most suitable for Yifeng at the moment, he always felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while. But now after hearing what Bao Feng said, Gu Mingjun finally realized: it turned out that the Oil-Thief had dug a trap here and was waiting for him!

就偷油獭第一代Ths混动系统那孱弱到几乎可以与奥拓都市贝贝、奥拓快乐王子们相提并论的动力表现，凭什么与号称“0-50是3.0，50-80是2.5”的混动华腾凯越相提并论？

If you really want to introduce this THS hybrid system, you might as well listen to Lao Bao, say hello to Changan, and directly get the powertrain of the old Alto.

Bao Feng simply ignored him and turned to look at Gu Mingjun, saying seriously: "Boss Gu, the conversation between Director Li and I just now was somewhat teasing. Let's be realistic. The first-generation THS hybrid system of the Otter can drive such a heavy car body while still having such fuel consumption performance. It is indeed very good.

But there is a big premise, that is, 'if the hybrid Excelle with the same price as gasoline and electricity does not exist'. If this big premise is met, we can introduce their first-generation THS hybrid system from Touyouao, which is a very good choice, but the problem is that there is already a hybrid Excelle on the market.

Although the Sail Hybrid uses an extended-range hybrid system, which consumes more fuel than the Otter's THS system, other than this one shortcoming, I think the Sail Hybrid almost completely crushes the Otter's THS system in terms of other user dimensions.

When I say crushing, I mean not only the first generation THS, but also the second generation THS!"

Bao Feng said it with absolute certainty!

  Gu Mingjun subconsciously wanted to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't know how to refute, because he suddenly realized that Bao Feng was right:

In terms of smoothness, the E-CVT of the Otter THS is indeed very smooth, but the hybrid Excelle is just a drive motor with a reducer and has no gears!

When it comes to power performance, why can a 29-kilowatt motor be compared with a 70-kilowatt motor?

Smoothness, power performance and fuel consumption, aren't these three what ordinary people look for in their daily car use? Now, Huateng's hybrid Excelle has a slightly worse fuel consumption performance, but in daily city use it is only more than 4 liters per kilometers, which is very good. What else do you want?

  The most important thing is that the hybrid Excelle is cheap!

Cheap……

  When he thought of this, Gu Mingjun felt depressed: Damn Zhang Qihang, you have no martial ethics!

Seeing Gu Mingjun wanting to refute but being speechless, the other people in the meeting room sighed secretly: You oil thief, you oil thief, why did you fail at the critical moment this time?

Rubbing his temple, Gu Mingjun looked at Bao Feng helplessly: "Old Bao, I admit that what you said makes sense, but the problem is that we have no choice but to cooperate with the oil-stealing otter - we can't go to Huateng Group to discuss and buy their hybrid system from Huateng Group, right?

Regardless of whether Huateng Group is willing or not, even if they are willing, the oil-stealing otter will not agree to install Huateng Group's hybrid system on Corolla. " Gu Mingjun's meaning is very clear: Comrade Bao Feng, you are right, but the matter is still a dead end here.

Bao Feng pursed his lips and finally said what he had thought before: "You are right, the oil-stealing otter will definitely not agree to install Huateng's hybrid system on Corolla, but what if it is installed on the Pentium B70?"

Pentium B70?

Everyone was stunned by Bao Feng's words.

But the next moment, everyone's eyes lit up: Yes, Bestune B70!

Speaking of which, although Big Brother is often criticized for lying down, it is not without any pursuit. After the revitalization of the Hongqi brand came to a temporary end, Big Brother made some money and created a new sub-brand: Pentium.

The first car of the Bestune brand is the B70.

  How to describe this car?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a Mazda 6 with a different shell.

The engine, gearbox, suspension...almost all are the same as those on the Mazda 6.

The Mazda 6 is known as the "Japanese front-wheel drive cornering king", and its sports performance is evident. With such a foundation, the mechanical quality and level of the Bestune B70 are naturally evident. Coupled with the price advantage of the Bestune B70, since its launch, the Bestune B70 has been competing with compact joint venture cars for the market with its mid-size car size and compact joint venture car price, and its life can be said to be prosperous.

It is precisely because the life of the Bestune B70 is so comfortable that even though everyone has heard that the Huateng Group is willing to sell their first-generation extended-range hybrid system, no one has thought of buying this hybrid system and installing it on their own Bestune B70.

But now that Bao Feng reminded them, everyone suddenly realized: Yes, we still have the Bestune B70!

Most importantly, the success of Bestune B70 has given its big brother great confidence, and the big brother is now ready to enrich the product line of the Bestune brand.

  Bestune's first compact car: Bestune B50 has completed development and is undergoing final debugging. It will be launched soon.

Bestune's first mid-to-large sedan: Bestune B90 has also entered the development stage and is expected to be launched in the market around mid-2010.

If we can buy the hybrid system from Huateng Group, it can be used for B70, B50, or the future B90. As long as we make some minor improvements to the hybrid system, we can say in future publicity that this hybrid system was developed by ourselves. As the big brother, it is indeed a bit embarrassing that we can't even come up with a hybrid system. Now we can save face.

Thinking of this, someone immediately expressed his opinion...

"I think what Lao Bao said makes sense. It's worth considering."

"Bestune B70 is still somewhat restricted by others in terms of power system. If we can introduce Huateng's hybrid system and produce it ourselves, we may be able to reduce costs."

"I think that introducing Huateng's hybrid system does not conflict with installing this system on Corolla. We just subconsciously think that the oil thief may not agree. But this kind of thing can be negotiated. If there are any differences, we can discuss them and the problem can always be solved. Maybe the oil thief will agree?"

"Yes, that's right. It's always a good idea to communicate..."

…………

Everyone was discussing the matter at once, and even Gu Mingjun was somewhat persuaded, and began to waver in his heart: What everyone said made sense, "Thief Oil Otter does not agree to install Huateng's hybrid system on Yifeng Corolla" was just our own guess. As long as we discuss it carefully with Thief Oil Otter, maybe they will agree?

Only Bao Feng, listening to everyone's naive assumptions, couldn't help but twitch his mouth twice: How can you guys still be so naive at such an age? That's an oil-stealing otter!

But in the end he said nothing.
