Chapter 858
After chatting for a while, Professor He asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your group is developing an ESP system?"

Hearing this, several professors of the research group who came to Huateng Industrial Group with Professor He under the name of "visiting visit" all looked at Zhang Qihang.

"Yes." Faced with this question, Zhang Qihang did not hesitate, and nodded with a smile: "It has entered the final stage of system calibration."

"Wow..."

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, Professor He and the others immediately widened their eyes, a little in disbelief.

Different from the relatively simple automotive electronic system such as the ABS brake anti-lock braking system, in the automotive electronic technology, if the difficulty of the ABS system is "1", then the difficulty of developing a complete and easy-to-use ABS+EBD system It is "5", and the difficulty of a complete ESP system is "10" or even "20". : In the absence of ABS+EBD systems, how to develop more difficult ESP products?
Professor He couldn't help it, and asked Zhang Qihang tactfully: "Xiao Zhang, the research and development difficulty of the ESP system should be higher than that of the ABS+EBD system?"

Of course Zhang Qihang understood what Professor He meant: You don’t even have a system like ABS+EBD, so how did you develop the ESP system?
Seeing everyone's reactions, Professor Xu Qingwu knew what Lao He and the others were thinking, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart: his students, but these "old guys" were overwhelmed.Hearing Lao He's doubts about his students at this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile: "Old He, you, you just don't understand the situation, so let me explain to you..."

Seeing Professor He's attitude of "I'm all ears", Professor Xu Qingwu was very happy, and then said: "We didn't stop after developing the ABS system, but immediately started the development of the ABS+EBD system. It has been developed, and all the development and testing work has been completed last fall, and the finalization has been officially completed..."

Before Professor He finished speaking, a Professor Zheng from the research group couldn't help asking: "But as far as I know, it seems that among the several cars that Huateng Group has put on the market, none of them are equipped with ABS+. EBD model?"

The implication is that you said that you have successfully developed it, but why are there no models equipped with this car safety system?
Regarding Professor Zheng's doubts, Professor Xu Qingwu didn't mean to panic at all. He said with a smile: "Old Zheng, you are a good hand in technology and research and development, but when it comes to running a company, you are almost meaningless. Management and technology research and development are two different things. It doesn't mean that I have to install this technology on my products immediately after I have developed it. Have you heard the word "technical reserve"?
The technology has been developed, but when will it be installed on specific models, which models will be equipped, and which models will not be equipped, these are all issues related to the business strategy of the enterprise, and you should understand the reasoning behind it. "

"..."

Professor Zheng blushed instantly!
Only then did he realize that his own thinking was wrong: Xu Qingwu was right, just because a certain technology has been developed does not mean it will be put into use immediately. of.

After all, he is engaged in research and education. There are not so many tricks and twists and turns. Although he made a big blush, Professor Zheng did not get angry because of it. Instead, he looked at Zhang Qihang with bright eyes: " Mr. Zhang, so you have really integrated the ABS+EBD system?"

"It's mainly due to the hard work of comrades." Knowing that this is not the time to be humble, on the contrary, a proper display of strength can persuade these top experts in the domestic automobile field to stay, Zhang Qihang said with a smile: "How about this, teachers and professors , everyone may wish to go to our research center to guide the work?"

Professor He, Professor Zheng and the others were thinking about how to talk to Zhang Qihang. Now they heard what Zhang Qihang said, and they immediately laughed...

"I won't be polite to Xiao Zhang," Professor Zheng said with a smile immediately: "To be honest, I'm really curious about your R&D center."

"It's not just you, Old Zheng," Professor He said with a smile, "I've wanted to come to Huateng Group for a long time...Xiao Zhang, how much does your group invest in research and development a year? Is it 10 billion or not? ?”

The reason for asking this question is that in the field of the domestic automobile industry, Huateng Industrial Group’s investment in R&D is notoriously high. It is said that Zhang Qihang attaches great importance to technology and is very willing to spend money on R&D investment. How much, everyone is still not very clear, but in any case, 10 billion a year is already a very scary figure.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Professor Xu Qingwu falsely nodded Professor He twice, and laughed loudly: "10 billion? Hahaha... who do you look down on, old He?"

Professor He didn't even realize it at the beginning—it's not that he didn't react, but he couldn't believe his first reaction—after carefully smacking the meaning of Xu Qingwu's words and making sure that he didn't have any misunderstanding, he finally Unbelievably asked Xu Qingwu: "What do you mean? Old Xu, you said that Huateng Group invests more than 10 billion a year in research and development?"

The R&D investment of more than 10 billion yuan a year is a bit scary. You must know that the three major domestic automobile manufacturing enterprise groups: FAW, Second Automobile and SAIC Motor, any of these three companies, which annual R&D investment reaches and Exceeded this number?

Originally, when everyone heard that Zhang Qihang attached great importance to technology research and development, they thought that with the annual sales revenue of Huateng Industrial Group, 10 billion was very impressive, but what did Xu mean by more than 10 billion?

"Hahaha……"

Seeing a group of old classmates and old friends who were deflated, Professor Xu Qingwu laughed heartily, and his heart was extremely cheerful: You guys, do you still have today? !

After laughing, he said to Zhang Qihang with a smile: "I won't play tricks with the big guys... Well, Xiao Zhang, tell everyone."

At this time, Zhang Qihang naturally wanted to save face for his teacher, he nodded slightly and said: "Actually, it's not much, probably a little over 8% of the annual sales income."

8% of annual sales revenue?

Professor He's eyelids twitched, and his mouth was extremely dry: "Mr. Zhang, if I remember correctly, your group's sales revenue last year seemed to be about 300 billion yuan?"

Calculated at 300 billion yuan, 8% of the sales revenue is 24 billion yuan. That is to say, Huateng Industrial Group's research and development investment last year was at least 24 billion yuan, and even 25 billion yuan is not impossible!
Realizing this, everyone felt a little uncomfortable: when they were still regretting the loss of the 150 million yuan, those bastards at Harbin Institute of Technology actually had more than 20 billion yuan in research and development funds a year... ...It's really unreasonable!
At this time, the teachers of the EFI research group have forgotten that the universities and scientific research institutes cooperating with Huateng Industrial Group are not only Harbin Institute of Technology, but also Xigong University, Xijiao University, and Huaqing. They also have a good cooperative relationship with Huateng Industrial Group. .

Now is not the time to be humble, on the contrary, the more this is the time to show your strength.Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "It needs a little more... Our group's total operating income last year was about 410 billion yuan, and there were many research and development projects, and the research and development investment accounted for about 8.47%."

410 billion!

The ratio of R&D investment to sales revenue is 8.47%...

The answer is easy to come out: Huateng Industrial Group's research and development expenditure last year was 34.727 billion...

Everyone felt more and more uncomfortable, and for a while they didn't know what to say.

It was Sun Yaohua, the chief engineer of the EFI research group, who suddenly asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that your group has developed a V8 engine two years ago, and it is based on this V8 engine. A V6, where is the development of this engine now? Is it adapted to the EFI system?"

Ok?
What Sun Yaohua said made the non-human being startled first, and then looked at Zhang Qihang with inquiring eyes.

Two years ago, when Huateng Industrial Group announced the development of the V8 engine, it caused quite a stir in the field of domestic automobile engineering. Of course, this sensation was mostly ridiculed and ridiculed: How long has your Huateng Industrial Group been established?The inline four-cylinder engine has not yet been fully understood, but dare to clamor for a V8? !
These mocking voices are also justified: Even the big brothers of the "long-history" state-owned enterprises such as FAW, Second Automobile, SAIC, and Beijing Automobile cannot produce high-performance and high-reliability L4. Why do you Huateng Industrial Group engage in V8? ? !
Don't say that FAW was able to manufacture V60 as early as the 8s. FAW's V8 and large-scale industrial mass-produced V8 are not the same thing at all. It can be said that FAW's V8 is a purely handmade laboratory product. The high is simply unbearable.

In a word, almost no one is optimistic about the success of Huateng Industrial Group. At that time, it was almost one-sided cynicism, so that when Huateng Industrial Group produced the first batch of engineering prototypes for testing a year later, the entire domestic automobile The industrial world was silent, and everyone was shocked by the Huateng Industrial Group—the little-known Huateng Industrial Group actually produced the V8?

For a while, many people felt like they were being slapped in the face.

And how will those people who think they are awesome react after being slapped in the face?Of course, it is not to admit that Huateng Industrial Group is a bull X, but to look down on this V8 of Huateng Industrial Group even more.

After a while, this person said that the Huateng Industrial Group has gathered the strength of the entire group to build a V8 at any cost, but this V8 engine does not have the conditions and capabilities for mass production at all;

Some people said that there is no need for the V8 engine in the domestic automobile industry, as long as the inline four-cylinder engine is good enough, the practice of Huateng Industrial Group is purely a waste of people and money, and a waste of national wealth—coincidentally, the person who said this This person was bragging about the development of the Western auto industry and Niu X, saying that V8, V10 and V12 engines represent the advanced level of today's auto industry;
After a while, another person said with empty teeth that the V8 of Huateng Industrial Group is actually the same...

Anyway, among these voices, no one is optimistic about the V8 engine of Huateng Industrial Group, and even these voices have affected many people in the EFI research group, thinking that Huateng Industrial Group is indeed sensationalizing.Now Sun Yaohua and Sun Gong suddenly mentioned this engine, and for a while, everyone's expressions were a little strange: "Old Sun, Old Sun, is it somewhat inappropriate for you to mention this matter at this time, and you mean to hit someone in the face ah?If I remember correctly, it seems that the Huateng Industrial Group has no grudge against you?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qihang nodded with a smile under the gaze of everyone: "Everything is going well, the test work has been completed, and now the revision and correction work after the test is in progress, and it will take about a year or so to complete." Can be finalized.

As for the adaptation of the EFI system, it must be adapted to the EFI system, but since our group is preparing to develop the EFI system by itself, the adaptation work will naturally have to wait until our EFI system is developed. In the short term It is not suitable for third-party EFI systems. "

what? !

As soon as Zhang Qihang said this, everyone was stunned: In another year or so, will it be completely finalized? !

How can this be? !
Sun Yaohua and Sun Gong didn't pay attention to everyone's reaction, he said happily: "Really? That's great... I also said that if there is anything that needs my help, you can just ask. I didn't expect your work to go so far." It went so well."

There was some regret on his face, but he was more happy for the success of this project of Huateng Industrial Group.

As for the matching of the EFI system, although he did not say anything, he also expressed his understanding of Zhang Qihang's answer: Since Huateng Industrial Group has already prepared to develop the EFI system by itself, naturally there is no need to adapt it to a third party. electric injection system.

In fact, just now, Zhang Qihang was somewhat unhappy in his heart. He also felt that Sun Yaohua and Sun Gong were deliberately embarrassing Huateng Industrial Group and himself. Little man, I feel a little bit sorry for a while.After thinking for a while, Zhang Qihang said: "Thank you, thank you...Gong Sun, to tell you the truth, we have developed 4 engines on the basis of the prototype, namely two V8s and two V6s. I don't know if you have Interested in going to have a look?"

"You developed two V8s and two V6s?"

As soon as Zhang Qihang's voice fell, not only Sun Yaohua and Sun Gong, but everyone else's eyes widened in shock.

The news disclosed by Zhang Qihang was beyond their imagination: Huateng Industrial Group can produce a V8 is scary enough, so they are not satisfied, they actually produced 4 engines? !
