Chapter 716 The qualification for car production has a door

Zhang Qihang's spontaneous action had an unexpected effect.

People in this era are relatively simple, and they don’t take other people’s things not only without gratitude, but as a matter of course. On the contrary, for the workers of Chengfei Automobile Mold Center who are currently in the most difficult stage, Although the 300 yuan is not much, it will solve their food problem for more than a month in the future.

With this money, while everyone doesn’t have to worry about how to eat in the next month or so, they are also full of gratitude to Huateng Industrial Group. I mean, isn't it a bit boring?
Therefore, just after the new year, Chengfei Automobile Mold Center reached an agreement with Huateng Industrial Group on mold production, and the cooperation between the two parties has also entered into intensive negotiations.

At the end of the first month, the two parties formally reached an agreement: Huateng Industrial Group and Chengfei Automobile Mold Center jointly established an enterprise engaged in the manufacture of high-precision automotive structural molds and automotive panel molds. The shareholding ratios of the two parties are 50.1% and 49.9%, respectively. %, after completing the production of the first set of high-precision molds for body-in-white structural parts and high-precision molds for covering parts, the production business of various molds required by Huateng Industrial Group will be transferred to this soon-to-be-established enterprise, Cheng Fei The automotive mold center provides technical support in the early stage.

Both parties are very satisfied with this result. For Huateng Industrial Group, they solved the problem of mold supply in the future, and only spent a small sum of money. For Chengfei Automobile Mold Center, Huateng Industrial Group The demand for molds, even if it's just the annual dividends of this joint-stock company, is enough to ensure that I don't have to go hungry.

Everything was carried out in an orderly and orderly rhythm.

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

July 1996.

Zhang Qihang, who was working nervously, received a call: "Xiao Zhang, I'm Zhao Deqing."

Zhang Qihang was immediately shocked, and hurriedly said: "Hello, old leader!"

"Well, I'm calling you to tell you something," Zhao Deqing on the other end of the phone said in a pleasant manner: "Under the efforts and coordination of relevant provincial leaders, the Ministry of Machinery Industry, which is in charge of the development of the national automobile industry, has relaxed and said 'We will seriously consider the issue of Huateng Industrial Group's car production qualification', you know what that means?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang's breath became short of breath: he knew exactly what this sentence meant.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down his turbulent mood, Zhang Qihang hurriedly said: "I know, this means that our group's application for car production qualification is ready."

"That's right, with the efforts and coordination of the main leaders of the province, your company has started to produce cars." Zhao Deqing was also very excited: "Recently, the Ministry of Machinery Industry and the relevant competent departments and associations of the automobile industry will Organize an investigation team to come to your unit to do research, understand your company's scientific research strength, technical strength and production capacity, to determine whether your company has the ability to produce cars, don't let me lose the chain at this time!"

"Understood!" Zhang Qihang said loudly without hesitation: "The leaders of the province have gone through untold hardships and spent a lot of effort to win this opportunity for us. I promise that I will never give it to the province and the city." Shame on me!"

"Well, it's good that you understand," Zhao Deqing said, "You, Zhang Qihang, are also my comrades, so I won't say much else, just one point, you must do a good job in reception!"

In helping Huateng Industrial Group obtain the qualification for car production, Lu Province certainly made great efforts, but among them, Zhao Deqing was the most dedicated. It can even be said that if Zhao Deqing hadn't been behind the scenes to push , it is absolutely impossible for the Ministry of Machinery Industry to let go so quickly.

Zhang Qihang knew all about these situations, so when he heard the words, he immediately said solemnly: "Don't worry, old leader, I will never embarrass you... Well, the old leader is like this, how to receive such a high-level leader , we have no experience, can the province arrange for a comrade to come and guide us?"

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, a smile appeared on Zhao Deqing's face: This little Zhang is still very sober.He smiled and said: "It's easy to say, the province has also taken into account that you have no reception experience, and will arrange corresponding comrades to contact you later."

Zhang Qihang was overjoyed immediately, and quickly said, "Thank you leaders for your concern."

………………

Huateng Industrial Group didn't let Huateng Industrial Group wait for too long. Half a month later, a research team headed by a deputy director of the Ministry of Machinery Industry quietly arrived at Huateng Industrial Group.

Without facing the tedious but absolutely indispensable reception process in advance, when the inspection activities officially started, Vice Chief S Ji Weihong suggested: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, I heard that the leading comrades in your province are all appreciative of the car you designed. Can't stop talking, can we go and have a look first?"

In fact, before this, Ji Weihong had seen the photo of the 1:1 scale clay model of the car of Huateng Industrial Group, which was still 12 inches. When seeing this photo, the relevant leaders of the Ministry of Machinery Industry thought The car designed by Zhang Qihang was full of praise. Many old leaders said at the time: "Over the years, we have introduced many models, but we have always produced models that others are producing. Now, it is finally You can see the cars designed by us Chinese ourselves."

Ji Weihong was also there at the time. Seeing those photos, Ji Weihong was shocked: Comrade Zhang Qihang is so good at designing such a beautiful car?
So this time when he came to Huateng Industrial Group, he took the initiative to ask the leader to take a look at it first—it’s true that he has seen the photos, but how can the photos be as enjoyable as looking at the models?
Zhang Qihang is not stupid, how could he refuse?He said without hesitation: "Of course no problem, leaders please follow me."

A group of people came to the design and development center and looked at the models in the center of the project team. Not only Ji Weihong, but also other comrades were dumbfounded: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, why are there so many?"

In the open space in the center, there are 4 scale models neatly placed, which are two hatchback safari versions and two sedan versions, which makes everyone a little surprised: Huateng Industrial Group is in What are you doing?
Yan Baoping, who accompanied him, said with a smile: "All the leaders have been deceived by Comrade Zhang Qihang. Huateng Industrial Group not only made a 1:1 clay model, but also made a solid sample car. What you have seen Among the four cars, two are prototypes."

Ji Weihong was shocked when he heard the words. He looked at the four cars in front of him and couldn't tell which one was a clay model and which one was a prototype car that could be a human, and said in surprise: "You even made a test sample car. ?”

"Deputy Chief Ji, and all the leaders, strictly speaking, it cannot be called a test sample car, but can only be regarded as a demonstration car for showing the exterior and interior to everyone," Zhang Qihang explained: "This car is the fastest It can only walk at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, so there is no way to do a test, mainly to prepare for the Capital Auto Show in June."

All the leaders nodded one after another: it turned out to be a demonstration car.

There is a big difference between the demo car and the test car. The demo car can be said to be just a "appearance". It can only let people know the shape and interior of the car, and let people experience the seat after sitting in it. It doesn’t matter if you say it is a more expensive 1:1 scale model, but when it comes to the stage of showing the prototype, it is usually thought that the progress of the whole project has reached about 30%;

The appearance of the test prototype means that the project has progressed to at least [-] to [-]%. As long as the problems found during the test are corrected, it can be launched for sale after retesting and confirming that there are no problems.

But even so, the appearance of this demonstration car has greatly aroused the interest of the leaders, especially Comrade Ji Weihong, who nodded repeatedly and said with a look of relief: "When you were about to celebrate the New Year a few years ago, Did you just decide to do this project, and it’s only been 5 months, and even the demo car has been built? It’s amazing, it’s amazing.”

Hearing Ji Weihong's words, the accompanying leaders of Langya City looked at each other, and their eyes were full of joy: the leaders of the Ministry of Machinery Industry who made a special trip to inspect this project gave a "remarkable" evaluation, This shows what?It shows that this project of Huateng Industrial Group has taken another step towards success.

Zhang Qihang immediately said: "Leader, would you like to get in the car for a test and give us some advice?"

"Okay," Ji Weihong nodded again and again without refusing. After Zhang Qihang opened the driver's door and sat in, he saw the electric window control button on the door panel at a glance, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Huh? The windows of your car are actually electrically adjustable?"

These days, even Santana's windows are hand-cranked, and electric lift windows are synonymous with high-end.

"Yes, leader," Zhang Qihang nodded and said, "In our car, in addition to the electric windows, the seats are also electric adjustable, and in addition to the traditional front and rear adjustment of the seat and backrest, There is also a seat height adjustment function, which can meet the driving needs of comrades of different heights through the precise adjustment of the motor... Well, in our car, even the steering wheel can be adjusted up and down, allowing the driver to find the most comfortable driving. The posture can minimize the driver's fatigue while driving."

While talking, Zhang Qihang pointed out to Ji Weihong the button for seat adjustment and the "wrench" for adjusting the steering wheel up and down.

Feeling the feeling of front, back, up and down brought by the electric adjustment, Ji Weihong nodded with satisfaction: "It's really... This is really convenient."

Seeing Ji Weihong's appearance, Zhang Qihang felt better. He pointed to the area in front of the window lift assembly and said, "Our car is equipped with very high-end equipment. Not only the seats but also the windows are electrically adjustable. Yes, even the rearview mirror is electrically adjustable, and there is also an electrically opened and closed sunroof..."

I have never seen Ji Weihong with so many advanced configurations on a domestic car, and he had a great time playing like a child: "Indeed, the configuration of your car is too advanced. I went to the devil last spring. I have inspected them, tried their Santana 2000, and I feel that even the configuration of Santana 2000 is not as advanced as your car... Well, it seems that the space of your car seems to be similar to that of Santana 2000?"

"Leader, you are really astute," Zhang Qihang immediately expressed admiration: "Our car, like the Santana, is aimed at the 20-yuan domestic mid-to-high-end official and commercial car market, so the car body Size, wheelbase and Santana 2000 are almost the same.

The advantage of Santana 2000 is that it has a higher brand awareness and belongs to a joint venture brand, while our advantage is that it has higher configuration. In addition to various electric configurations, we are also the first among these domestic automakers to install ABS anti-lock braking system. In case of an emergency on the road, the driver can step on the brake with one foot, and no longer have to worry about the car locking up if the step is heavy, and the situation that the step is light will not help to solve the problem. "

"What?" Ji Weihong was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly asked, "Is your car equipped with an ABS anti-lock braking system?"

As the middle-level leader of the domestic auto industry authority, Ji Weihong is certainly no stranger to the ABS anti-lock braking system. The anti-lock braking system is a national mandatory standard.

However, with the increasing number of domestic automobiles and agricultural vehicles, from the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Machinery Industry has also begun to pay attention to the active and passive safety of automobiles. During the discussion, whether it is mandatory to install ABS brakes The system is one of the key points of repeated discussions among experts. Although no result has been discussed yet, Ji Weihong is very clear that the conclusion of the experts is that "the time is not yet ripe", and as it is temporarily impossible to force the installation of ABS brake anti-lock As an alternative to the dead system, experts have given a solution: all models that leave the factory in the future must be equipped with LED high-mounted brake lights, and the cars that have already left the factory must be equipped with LED high-mounted brake lights.

The reason why LED high-mounted brake lights are required is that compared with traditional halogen bulbs, red LEDs have higher brightness and stronger penetrating power, and can be seen by rear vehicles at a longer distance. It is an ABS brake anti-lock braking system. A short-term cheap alternative.

But what Ji Weihong didn't expect was that Huateng Industrial Group took the initiative to prepare ABS anti-lock braking system for its new cars when the country did not mandate the installation of ABS anti-lock braking system for vehicles...

What do they think?

Do you know how much a set of ABS brake anti-lock braking system will increase the cost of their vehicle?
