Chapter 834 Prototype Car
Is Zhang Qihang afraid of discussing?

Don't be afraid!
People who came from the era of traffic in later generations, who doesn't know the truth of "Don't be afraid of people scolding you, just be afraid of being scolded!"?If there is voice, there will be traffic. Zhang Qihang is too clear about this truth. In fact, even if there are no doubts in the newspapers, Zhang Qihang is going to spend money to find someone to scold him. Why hesitate?
"Dry" is just one word!

A vigorous discussion began. Faced with the media’s doubts, the Qilu Evening News, which is the headquarters and main base of this event, fired first: “A media said before that if a company’s technology is bought, then This technology is not considered the technology of this company, and it also lists one, two, three and four reasons, which seem to be the case, but this problem is simply not worth talking about. If you follow this reason:

Ordinary people go to the mall and buy a kitchen knife. Does this kitchen knife count as their own?
Ordinary people go to the home appliance store and buy a TV. Does this TV count as their own?
Everyone knows that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, our equipment was in short supply, and many weapons and equipment were bought at high prices. If it follows the logic of this media, then the weapons and equipment purchased by our army cannot be regarded as our own;
Perhaps this media will argue and argue that 'we are talking about technology, not a specific product', so that is very good. We all know that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country was poor and empty, and the 156 key construction projects during the "First Five-Year Plan" Almost all industrial projects and corresponding technologies were imported from the former Soviet Union. According to the logic of this media, these 156 key construction projects are not our own, and even these technologies imported from abroad over the years of our country’s reform and opening up , it was all brought in for nothing, and the money was wasted..."

Faced with the bombardment of the "Qilu Evening News", this media with a good relationship with FAW felt a little awkward for a while: Why did they all rise to the level of questioning the country's reform and opening up policy in the end?

This hat cannot be worn, and a response must be given!
In order to justify and argue with the other party, this media has brought in another media with which it has a good relationship with "Qilu Evening News" to start a saliva lawsuit...

For a while, the scene was so lively!
At the same time, news that Huateng Motors has introduced a brand new technology and supporting technologies from Mazda Motors, and plans to develop a brand new medium and large sedan based on this model, which is comparable to the Audi 200, is also rumored. Correspondingly, "name letters" from all over the country flew to Huateng Industrial Group like snowflakes... These people who wrote the letters had the same idea: I have no hope of the first prize of 500 million, and even I didn't think about the second prize either, but with Lao Tzu's literary talents, I can't even win the entry prize of 100 yuan, right?Even if you only win an entry prize of 100 yuan, it is enough for buddies and friends to have a delicious meal together.

As for Zhang Qihang, after provoking this public opinion war, he ignored it and plunged into the Design Research Institute. So what is he busy with?

I'm busy making prototypes.

"This is your prototype car? Boy, if you don't know that your car is developed on the basis of Mazda 929, it's really hard for people to associate this car with Mazda 929. This car doesn't look like Mazda 929 at all. what."

One day two months later, in Beijing, in the middle of the office building of the diplomatic system, several leaders of the system looked at the two prototype cars in front of them, and kept talking in amazement.

Yes, the Huateng Industrial Group has produced two prototypes, both of which are based on the Mazda 929, but with slight differences: one is a standard-wheelbase version, and the other is a That is to say, the body size of the Mazda 929 is basically maintained, while the other one is a long-wheelbase version.

A friend wants to ask, how to make a long-wheelbase version based on the Mazda 929?The method is actually very simple, cut the body behind the B-pillar, lengthen it, and then re-weld the body.

In the second-hand car industry, this is considered a car with a major accident, and it cannot even be used on the road, but since it is a prototype car used to show customers, it is another matter.

Both cars have been remodeled. The front, rear and interior have been redesigned and modified. It can be said that it is difficult to see the relationship between the two cars and the original car from the appearance alone. .

Song Yuehua, who was in charge of industry in the province who accompanied Zhang Qihang, pointed at the two cars in front of him triumphantly, and almost wrote the word "proud" on his face. He laughed and said, "That's right, Mr. How about it, Wang, is it not ashamed to drive this car out?"

Of course, Comrade Song Yuehua also has reasons for being proud. In his opinion, the two prototype cars produced by Huateng Industrial Group are much more impressive than the Audi 200. Not only will they not lose their status when used on diplomatic occasions, but they will be greatly improved. long face.

Deputy Commander Wang B nodded repeatedly, couldn't help touching the car in front of him, and his face was full of joy: "No embarrassment, no embarrassment...Xiao Zhang, are you really willing to give us such a good car for nothing?"

To be honest, the first time I saw these two cars, Vice President Wang fell in love with this car. There is no other reason. This car is really beautiful, and the whole car exudes a charming elegance. Vigorous, especially for Mr. Wang's appetite.

"Leader, you are digging a hole for me," Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "Our diplomatic system is a big car user, if so many agencies stationed abroad are all provided with free cars by us, we really can't afford it... …Even if you can afford it, you don’t dare to confess. What should the leaders of other units come to us when they see such a good thing? Will we pay it? If we don’t, it’s just not giving the leader face..."

"Hahaha……"

Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Vice Chief Wang burst out laughing.

While laughing, Vice Chief Wang couldn't help but look at Zhang Qihang in surprise: This little comrade is very courageous.

With his own status and level, few people dare to talk to him like this. This Zhang Qihang is just a small deputy director-level cadre, and he is an inconspicuous role in this building, but such a small The character, how dare you talk to yourself like that?
This surprised Vice Chief Wang.

However, apart from being surprised, he also had to admit in his heart that Zhang Qihang's honest words were indeed the best answer: If you can afford it, you don't dare to give it. If you give it to the diplomatic system, other units will also come to your door what to do
However, despite what he said, Deputy Chief Wang B was not so easy to let go. He raised his eyebrows immediately: "Oh? Is that so? But if I remember correctly, you said before arrogantly that you want to give our country Donate a batch of vehicles to the embassies and consulates abroad and the representative office to the United Nations? Are you planning to keep your word?"

"..."

Zhang Qihang hesitated for a while, thinking about how to answer these words.

But before Zhang Qihang could speak, Comrade Song Yuehua spoke first: "Okay, old Wang, is it interesting to bully the little comrade?"

Zhang Qihang couldn't say some things well, but Song Yuehua would be fine if he said them, because his level is high enough.

After a pause, Song Yuehua went on to say: "I know what your old boy's plan is. Let's put it this way, we will definitely donate what should be donated, but the amount is not much. I will give you 100 cars in total. Isn't that interesting?"

100 cars?
Vice President Wang immediately began to calculate in his heart.

In fact, after learning that Huateng Motors was going to donate a batch of luxury cars to the diplomatic system, the main leaders of the major embassies and consulates began to ask themselves for the news: How much Huateng Motors can donate to our system? car?The conditions in our unit are very difficult, can the organization consider us for a while...

Even some embassies and consulates abroad that have not requested to change their cars for the time being have called one after another, asking the organization to consider them when they can change their cars-everyone is asking for benefits, why should I not?
Therefore, 100 vehicles sounds like a lot, but it is impossible to satisfy all embassies and consulates abroad. Most importantly, it is impossible to allocate all these vehicles to embassies and consulates abroad, right?Should the diplomatic system headquarters also keep a batch for use?After all, there are many domestic reception tasks, right?

So, in this calculation, 100 cars, about 10 cars are left in the country, and the remaining 90 cars are all allocated to foreign countries...

Huh?
At this point in the calculation, Deputy Chief Wang finally understood that the final quantity given by Huateng Automobile was 100 vehicles: after leaving 10 vehicles in China, the remaining 90 vehicles can basically meet the needs of our country's missions in advanced countries such as Europe, America and Japan. The consular vehicle needs to be replaced...

Good guy!How dare this kid have such a small calculation?

Thinking of this, Vice President Wang's heart was already secretly happy: he never expected that Huateng Automobile's handwriting and courage would be so great!
Yes, the diplomacy system really didn't expect Huateng Motors to have such boldness!

In fact, before this, after it was confirmed that Huateng Industrial Group would donate a batch of cars to the unit, the leaders of the diplomatic system held a meeting specifically for this purpose. At the meeting, everyone also discussed that Huateng Industrial Group could How many cars to donate to myself? The result of the discussion is not very optimistic. Take the only domestically produced C-class mid-to-large sedan on the market: the Audi 200 as an example. How much money, the leaders discussed and discussed, thinking that even if Huateng Automobile is rich, it is considered courageous if they can produce 40 or 100 vehicles. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qihang directly produced [-] vehicles!
At this moment, Vice Chief Wang couldn't care less about being reserved, he stared at Song Yuehua with wide eyes, and said excitedly: "Old Song, aren't you joking with us?"

Comrade Song Yuehua stared: "Can I joke with you about this kind of thing?"

Hearing what Song Yuehua said, Deputy Chief Wang laughed: "Hehe... That's true..."

"But having said that, Lao Wang, this is 100 cars. You know the value of this batch of cars. It would be too stressful to deliver them all at once," Song Yuehua said, "So I discussed it with Xiao Zhang, and we are going to After the official mass production, it will be handed over to you in four or five batches within a year, is this okay?"

"No problem, no problem, of course no problem." Hearing Song Yuehua say that the delivery can be made within one year, Vice President Wang smiled and said that he couldn't close his mouth. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Lao Song, we understand your concern Difficulties will never make things difficult for you.”

The pie fell from the sky, and there were 100 free cars. For this sake, what can Deputy Chief B Wang say?
As for the fact that the diplomatic system cooperates with Huateng Motors to carry out publicity after accepting the 100 cars, even though Song Yuehua did not say anything, Deputy Chief Wang B and even the entire diplomatic system knew it well: if it wasn't for this, why would they send it to Huateng? So many cars for yourself?

"But having said that, Old Zheng," Deputy Chief B Wang continued, "It's one thing for our department to cooperate with you, but for CCTV and the propaganda department, you still have to do the work that needs to be done."

Deputy Director B Wang is actually kindly reminding Song Yuehua: Old Song, your Province of Lu wants to build a C-class car that can compete with Audi. This is a good thing. Our diplomatic system is also willing to support your work, but only the diplomatic system It is not enough to support you, and you need the acquiescence and a certain degree of cooperation from the publicity system. Otherwise, if the publicity system is unhappy and a certain leader of the publicity system is dissatisfied with Huateng Automobile in private, who would dare? Do you want to report more news about Huateng Automobile?
At the same time, CCTV also needs to cooperate. CCTV is the first-line executive unit. When reporting the same foreign affairs event, the reporter of CCTV slightly tilted the camera to the side, and in a hurry gave the car logo a two-second close-up, what would this look like?Conversely, you Huateng Motors obviously spent money, but CCTV did not cooperate, and the effect of publicity will be greatly reduced.

Why didn't Song Yuehua understand Deputy Chief B's ​​hint?He nodded repeatedly to thank Vice Chief Wang.

"Thank you, no need," Deputy Chief Wang said with a smile: "I'll try this car first, how comfortable it is to sit...Xiao Zhang, are the engine and gearbox of this car produced by yourself? "

"Yes, leader," Zhang Qihang quickly responded, "Our car is equipped with a Honda F23A engine authorized by Honda technology. In addition, our car can be equipped with a manual transmission or an automatic transmission..."

Song Yuehua interjected at the right time and said, "The automatic transmission is the design patent that Xiao Zhang bought before Honda."

"I know about this," Deputy Chief B Wang nodded immediately after hearing this, and looked at Zhang Qihang with a look of relief: "When I heard that Honda wanted to buy Xiao Zhang's gearbox patent, many of our comrades did not dare to buy it. Believe it, everyone said that this news must be fake news. How could a company as powerful as Honda sell patents from our country? I didn’t expect that it would be true after the matter was finally revealed...Xiao Zhang, you gave us a big face what."

Zhang Qihang looked embarrassed: "Actually, I'm also lucky."

Deputy Chief B Wang shook his head: "Xiao Zhang, don't be humble. This is not a matter of luck or bad luck. How did your Huateng Group develop over the years? You Zhang Qihang played a role in this. What kind of role and what kind of role has been played? There are dedicated people in China who are studying it. Now there is a saying in the industry called "Huateng Miracle". In fact, many people say that this is not a "Huateng Miracle". It should be called 'Zhang Qihang Miracle'."

Zhang Qihang was naturally humble again.

………………

Although there are only two prototype cars, after some experience, not only Deputy Chief Wang, but also other leaders of the diplomatic system are very satisfied with this "Huateng 929". Everyone thinks that this car is used as a high-end reception in diplomatic places. The car, as well as the cars of the consuls and ambassadors of the embassies and consulates abroad are also fully qualified. As for why there are two versions, the long-axis version and the standard-axis version, although Zhang Qihang didn’t say anything, the leaders have already figured it out, and Zhang Qihang was praised for this approach: ambassadors and ambassador-level personnel stationed abroad can use long-wheelbase models, while consuls can use standard-wheelbase models.

During the experience, everyone inevitably mentioned the Huateng Group's new brand naming activity that has been raging in the media during this period. Some leaders jokingly told Zhang Qihang that their certification activity was very good. I also contributed, which made Zhang Qihang very embarrassed...

Next, after visiting the diplomatic system, Song Yuehua took Zhang Qihang to visit the leader of the propaganda department, expressing his intention to seek support.

The comrades in Shandong Province are so kind, and the leaders in charge of industrial development in the province, headed by the leaders of the province, came to seek support in person. It can be said that they have given the propaganda department super-standard respect. How can the leaders of the propaganda system not care? What does this mean?After personally experiencing these two prototype cars, they also expressed their opinions that they would strongly support the work of comrades in Lu Province.

As for CCTV, Song Yuehua naturally didn't need to accompany her, and CCTV couldn't afford it either.

CCTV is better to say that Huateng Industrial Group has always been a big advertiser of CCTV. Where do the relevant leaders still not understand what Zhang Qihang means?
Director Tan Xiaosong smiled and patted Zhang Qihang's shoulder vigorously: "Brother, the leaders and I understand what you mean, don't worry, unless you have made irreparable mistakes on your side, or you have been named by the higher authorities, Otherwise, we CCTV will absolutely stand by your side, and if someone dares to pour dirty water on you, it will be against us."

"Sister Tan, thank you so much," Zhang Qihang shook Tan Xiaosong's hand violently, "I won't say anything if you are being polite, but anyway, Sister Tan must give me a chance to express my heart."

"Hehe...You are still so polite, brother, but there is really no need for us to be like this," Tan Xiaosong slightly lowered his tone and said, "As long as you support my sister's work more."
