Chapter 1388 Using Economic Means to Solve the Problem

The CEOs of various car companies looked at the 48V mild hybrid system and liked it very much. Then they looked at the 52V mild hybrid system and also liked it very much. In addition, the cost difference between the two is not big, so they couldn't make up their minds which one to choose for a while.

Facing the hesitant CEOs, Mr. Feng said with a smile: "Since you are not sure which one to choose, why not take both sets back? Anyway, it's just a test, not a formal production, so this cost should not matter to everyone."

Right!

After thinking about it, everyone felt that what Secretary Lao Feng said made sense: since they were planning to do the test anyway, they could do both the 48V and 52V systems together, and by the way, they could also carefully calculate the costs of the two hybrid systems to see which one was more suitable.

Mr. Li is the most shrewd. He knows that his technical level is average. In addition, his company's R&D department has never played with hybrid vehicles, so it is definitely not as good as Huateng Group in calibration and testing. In this case, it is better to hand over the matter to Huateng Group, and he can also learn from them.

Having made up his mind, Mr. Li said to Zhang Qihang sincerely, "Mr. Zhang, you should also know that our company has no experience in testing and calibrating hybrid systems. Do you think you can help us do this work? Don't worry, I will definitely pay you every penny, and I will also arrange personnel and a team to come to your side."

Without thinking too much, Zhang Qihang knew what Mr. Li was planning. He smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to help you with the test, but in addition to the test fee, Mr. Li, can you pay a little more?"

You have already started thinking about stealing my skills. I allow you to steal some skills, but if you are not even willing to pay the tuition, that would be a bit too much.

Of course, Mr. Li could hear Zhang Qihang's hint, and his old face suddenly turned red.

However, even though he was blushing, he also understood what Zhang Qihang meant. He didn't mind learning from him through this process. In other words, Zhang Qihang was actually willing to take this opportunity to win over more allies.

  This is a good thing!

Compared to stealing knowledge, how can it be as comfortable as learning openly after paying the tuition?

  As for being gently touched by Zhang Qihang, what does face mean in the face of interests?

Mr. Li, who understood this, did not hesitate and immediately responded: "No problem, it should be. Mr. Zhang, please name a price, and I promise not to bargain."

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "Just have Mr. Li say this, I'll have someone contact your company later."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li could no longer suppress the smile on his face, and his mouth corners stretched to his ears with joy.

Mr. Li is smart, and the CEOs of other car companies are not stupid either. They have also made up their minds: regardless of whether the 48V/52V hybrid system will be used in the future, it is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to learn more about the hybrid system. They have also put forward similar requests to Mr. Li.

In this regard, Zhang Qihang readily agreed without exception, and the matter was settled.

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

After seeing off the CEOs of various car companies, Zhang Qihang finally had time to sit down and talk with Mr. Feng about whether it is possible to force the installation of 48V hybrid systems in vehicles at the national level.

After listening to Zhang Qihang, Mr. Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You just said that from the perspective of energy saving, after installing the 48V mild hybrid system, even if 1.5 liters of fuel are saved per 15000 kilometers, based on the annual mileage of 225 kilometers for an average family, 1000 liters of fuel can be saved each year. If it is a company car or a unit car, the savings are even greater, even thousands of liters of fuel each year. Considering that the sales of new cars in our country have exceeded million, and there will be more in the future, the fuel saved each year is indeed a very large number, which is of great significance to the country's energy strategic security."

"Ah."

Zhang Qihang responded and waited for Mr. Feng to continue.

After another moment of silence, Mr. Feng said, "It is not impossible to force the promotion of 48V or 52V hybrid systems at the national level. For example, from the perspective of environmental protection, car manufacturers were forced to use electronic injection systems to replace carburetors. For example, for safety reasons, car manufacturers were forced to equip vehicles with ABS. From the perspective of national rights, there is no problem with doing so. It can definitely be done, but I am worried about something else."

Zhang Qihang frowned: "You mean..."

"Yes," Mr. Feng nodded and said, "The international situation our country faces is different from when we forced the promotion of the electronic fuel injection system. At that time, we had not yet joined the WTO. Now, although our country has joined the WTO, it has only been a short time, only a few years. Once the country forcibly promotes this matter through its own rights, it is inevitable that some countries will make irresponsible remarks, which is not very beneficial to the image of our country.

Another thing is that consumers may care more about the price than the hybrid system. I think that for most consumers who are planning to buy a car, if there are two cars, one equipped with a mild hybrid system and the other with a pure fuel system, and the car with a mild hybrid system is 5000 yuan more expensive than the pure fuel version, most consumers may still choose the cheaper one, even if they know that the car equipped with a hybrid system can make their car use cost lower. "

"..."

Zhang Qihang stopped talking. He had to admit that Mr. Feng was right.

"But this is not impossible," said Mr. Feng, changing his tone. "Since the higher-ups have begun to pay attention to the development of new energy vehicles and are even preparing to launch the 'Ten Cities, Thousands of Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicles Demonstration and Promotion Project', we can completely change our thinking to promote this matter:

Although we don't have enough energy to push the country to require automakers to compulsorily install mild hybrid systems, the fuel-saving effect of mild hybrid systems is real. We can definitely ask the country to give more subsidies to vehicles that install mild hybrid systems.

If the price of a car equipped with a 48V or 52V mild hybrid system is only slightly higher than that of a regular fuel-powered car, such as 1000 yuan or 2000 yuan, I guess consumers may consider mild hybrid cars more.

Consumers are not stupid. After all, mild hybrid cars are not only more fuel-efficient, but also provide a better driving experience. For these, spending an extra $1,000 or $2,000 should be within their tolerance range. "

"That's the truth!"

Zhang Qihang, who originally thought about whether this matter could be pushed forward from the national level, was persuaded by Mr. Feng: "Mr. Feng, you are right. Now is different from the past. It is not good to always force these things by command. If it can be solved by economic means, it is better to solve it by economic means."

Mr. Feng smiled and nodded: "I'm glad you can figure it out."

Zhang Qihang was still able to listen to other people's advice and correct himself immediately, which made the old man feel extremely relieved.
