Chapter 717
Faced with Ji Weihong's question, Zhang Qihang said frankly: "Leader, in my opinion, active safety equipment such as the ABS anti-lock braking system is actually used to save lives, and it may even save two cars at once. the lives of people!

We don’t expect all domestic car manufacturers to install this thing on their products, but in my opinion, since the price of the car has reached the price range of 20 yuan, it should be more thoughtful for users ...In addition, Huateng Industrial Group, as an emerging brand, always needs some things that can be obtained and that no one else has as a selling point when the brand awareness is not as good as others. This ABS brake anti-lock braking system is our One of the core selling points. "

Ji Weihong nodded again and again: "I see."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Qihang's words, because from his own point of view, even if he was not driving, but just riding in a car, he still hoped that his car would be safer, and as the director of the national automobile industry Institutions, Ji Weihong is more aware of what ABS means. For the same two cars, one has an ABS brake anti-lock braking system and the other does not. When the interior space of the car is not bad, of course I will choose which one There is no doubt about the ABS anti-lock braking system.

As for what Zhang Qihang said that they would use the ABS anti-lock braking system in their cars as a promotional selling point, that's not a problem. Since it is equipped with this thing, why can't people promote it?
"Take this thing as a selling point for publicity? This is fine," Ji Weihong responded, "But how many configurations will your car have in the future? Which configuration model is equipped with this ABS anti-lock braking system?"

He never thought that Huateng Industrial Group would be able to make such an expensive configuration standard for all series. In Ji Weihong's view, Huateng Industrial Group probably only installs this ABS brake anti-lock braking system on high-end models. Above, if you are willing to install this system on the mid-range model, it will be very interesting.

"Oh, this," Zhang Qihang said, "We are standard equipment for all series."

"Standard equipment for all series?!"

This time, not only Ji Weihong, but other leaders in the same industry also widened their eyes in disbelief: Is this Zhang Qihang crazy?He actually made the ABS anti-lock braking system standard for all series?
"Yes, it is standard for all series," Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively: "Starting from the lowest configuration, even if there are no electric seats and electric rearview mirrors, we still retain the ABS brakes on this car. system."

"This... this..." A leader of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Zhang Qihang heartbroken: "Comrade Zhang Qihang, do you know that such a set of ABS anti-lock braking system How much will it cost? More than 4000 yuan!"

The other leading comrades also couldn't help nodding, thinking that Zhang Qihang was out of his mind: a set of ABS brake anti-lock braking system cost more than 4000 yuan, what's the use of installing this thing?Installing such a set is equivalent to saving 4000 yuan for a car, and the most terrible thing is to use foreign exchange...

"It's not that high," Zhang Qihang said with a smile, "In fact, the ABS anti-lock braking system installed on this car was developed and produced by our company."

"What?" Ji Weihong's eyes widened in surprise, "You said that the ABS brake system on your car was produced by yourself?"

He's a little hard to imagine.

Zhang Qihang explained to him: "Leader, although the technical content of the ABS brake anti-lock braking system is not high, at least it is much lower than the technical content of engines and gearboxes. Since our country can produce engines, transmissions, etc. With these more sophisticated things, in theory, we can definitely produce ABS anti-lock braking systems."

Ji Weihong had never considered this issue before, he only knew that the import price of ABS anti-lock braking system is very expensive, now he heard what Zhang Qihang said, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Then why does our country use it now? The ABS brake anti-lock braking system is still imported?"

"Because the country does not force automobile manufacturers to install ABS anti-lock braking systems on new cars," Zhang Qihang said, "This thing is not like car window glass. It is impossible to lose one piece. The ABS anti-lock braking system is a thing. Usually, it rarely works, and the location is not where people can see it at a glance, so unless it is mandatory by the country..."

Ji Weihong heard that Zhang Qihang was a little unsatisfied, and he also understood what Zhang Qihang did not say: just because the country did not mandate it, so the major domestic automobile manufacturers did not equip their cars with ABS brakes. The desire to lock the brake system resulted in the fact that the ABS brake anti-lock brake system is obviously a low-tech gadget, but we just couldn't make it domestically.

For the world's top auto parts and subsystem suppliers, such as Bosch and Continental, which can produce ABS brake anti-lock braking systems, this matter becomes simple: huh?You can't produce this thing yourself?Well, that's easy...$400 for a set!Love to buy or not!

Counting tariffs, the price immediately went to 500 US dollars, which is more than 4000 RMB.

Ji Weihong was also unwilling to discuss this issue in depth, so he changed the subject and asked Zhang Qihang: "Anyway, having this ABS anti-lock braking system is always a good thing... How is the performance of your system? ?”

"Very good," Zhang Qihang said immediately: "Our group's ABS brake anti-lock braking system is jointly developed by our group and Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University and other domestic universities. Our tests have basically reached and approached the level of similar international products under various road conditions."

A set of the most basic ABS anti-lock braking system, not even EBD, in Zhang Qihang's view, this thing is simply too simple.

Huateng Industrial Group's ABS anti-lock braking system was jointly developed with Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University and other universities?

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Ji Weihong's heart suddenly became clear: I heard that Harbin Institute of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Huaqing had all talked about whether to issue a car production license to Huateng Industrial Group. Strange, why are these colleges and universities so concerned about this matter?

The roots of daring love are here!
"That's it," Ji Weihong thought for a while, feeling a little excited: "Then what's the cost of your ABS braking system? Will it be sold in the future?"

"If other car manufacturers come to purchase, we will definitely sell it," Zhang Qihang said. "As for the cost of mass production, we haven't calculated it yet, but it should not exceed 1500."

The price will not exceed 1500?

A smile suddenly appeared on Ji Weihong's face: If the price of this set of ABS brake anti-lock braking system of Huateng Industrial Group does not exceed 1500 yuan, it will be a good thing. Next, some domestic automobile manufacturers will install ABS brake anti-lock braking system for their own cars?

………………

After experiencing the front row and the rear row respectively, Ji Weihong gave a very high evaluation of this car of Huateng Industrial Group: "But in terms of comfort and space, your car is indeed Very good...Mr. Zhang, when do you expect it to go on sale?"

Zhang Qihang said confidently: "If it is faster, it will be the beginning of next year, if it is slower, it should be almost the end of next year. We have reached cooperation agreements with many auto parts companies at home and abroad, especially in the engine area. All the technical information of the F18A engine has been handed over to us, and it is expected that by the second half of the year, our engine will be able to successfully ignite."

Ji Weihong slapped his head: I almost forgot that Huateng Industrial Group also exchanged the F-series engine technology from Honda...

Thinking of this, he suddenly moved in his heart, and asked Zhang Qihang: "Xiao Zhang, since your ABS brake anti-lock braking system will be sold outside, then your engine and gearbox will also be sold outside?"

"Yes," Zhang Qihang said cheerfully, even though he didn't know what Ji Weihong was thinking, "Considering that we are getting more and more involved in auto parts and subsystems, we have decided to establish a Huateng auto parts company. , is responsible for the sales of engines, gearboxes and some electronic systems, and provides high-quality products for other domestic automobile manufacturers."

"You're right to think so," Ji Weihong said with a smile: "If you really decide to set up such a company, there is a company under the Ministry of Machinery Industry that has more experience in this field, why don't you cooperate with us?"

The so-called standing high and seeing far, as the competent authorities of the domestic auto industry, they see and know much farther than ordinary people. It is very clear that with the further development of the domestic economy, the domestic auto market will soon There will be a blowout wave of development. If you can take a stake in the automobile engine business of Huateng Industrial Group at this time, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

And this kind of opportunity can be said to be fleeting. Even if he hadn't received instructions from the leader before, Ji Weihong couldn't control so much, so he cut it first and played later.

Ok? !

Hearing Ji Weihong's words, Zhang Qihang was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized what Ji Weihong meant: the higher-ups also wanted a share of the action.

It is also understandable. Seeing that the Aviation Industry Corporation is cooperating with Mitsubishi Motors to produce 4G63 engines, it is expected to make a lot of money. In this era when everyone's life is not easy, how can the Ministry of Machinery Industry not be jealous? ?
It's just jealousy. The country really has no money to import the second advanced engine technology and supporting production from Europe and the United States. The Ministry of Machinery Industry originally had nothing to do, but at this time Huateng Industrial Group exchanged from Dongying Honda. The full set of technology of Honda's most advanced F-series engine, and Zhang Qihang also stated that the finished product of this engine can be sold to the outside world...

Pie in the sky!

Moreover, as the competent department of the domestic automobile industry, the Ministry of Machinery Industry has inherent advantages!
Ji Weihong didn't even need to say some things, and Zhang Qihang knew it himself: as long as Ji Weihong agreed to this condition, there would be no problem at all with the production license of this "7" car.

But Zhang Qihang also has some worries of his own...

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Qihang said: "Of course it is a good thing, but the company we are going to set up is just a sales company. You can think of it as our Huateng Industrial Group selling engines, gearboxes, and other spare parts and components on cars. The national general agent of the system is also fine..."

How could Ji Weihong not understand what Zhang Qihang meant?He was clearly worried about the meddling of the Ministry of Machinery Industry. Looking at the young and exaggerated face in front of him, Ji Weihong thought for a while, and didn't make any detours at all, and said directly: "Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean. For you I also admire the talent in business operation and management. The unit I am talking about not only does not interfere with your normal production and operation activities, but only reserves the right to financial supervision and dividends, and will even take the initiative to bring some business to you. .”

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

And hearing what Ji Weihong said, the other people around looked at Zhang Qihang enviously: How come this kid is so lucky?
Ji Weihong has already talked about this, if Zhang Qihang still refuses, then he really has to think about when he will be able to get the production license for this car, so after hearing what Ji Weihong said, Zhang Qihang Qiqi made a decisive decision: "You are too polite, leader. We can't ask for someone to guide our business development."

Seeing that Zhang Qihang agreed, Ji Weihong was very happy, and nodded with a smile: "Then it's settled!"

----------

Two days later, the inspection activity was successfully concluded. The entire research team gave a very high evaluation of Huateng Industrial Group's technical research and development strength and production strength, especially Comrade Ji Weihong, at the dinner party to see them off. In front of the relevant leaders of Langya City and Lu Province, they said that "Lu Province is a major province in the production of trucks, and it should and must be a major province in the production of cars, so as to become a strong province in the country's automobile industry."

No one is a fool, who doesn't understand the meaning of Ji Weihong's words?
The relevant leaders of Langya City and Lu Province finally let go of the last worry in their hearts, and all of them smiled happily.

Only at this time, a very real problem was placed in front of the relevant leaders of Lu Province and Langya City: since Huateng Industrial Group obtained a "license" for car production, there is no problem, then the subsidiary of Huateng Industrial Group Shouldn't we have a good talk?
Faced with such a golden baby that even the Ministry of Machinery Industry is jealous of, how can the leaders of the province be willing to not even have a mouthful of soup?Therefore, on the second day after the research team was sent away, some leaders from the province and Langya City sat together again under the guidance of the relevant leaders: Everyone must have a good chat...
