Chapter 126 I want to take office quickly

In the eyes of Chinese people, Hongqi Automobile is a national brand with special meaning.

It should be high-end, atmospheric, and upscale.

But in fact, the Millennium Hongqi has no production line or even a factory area.

Because after the suspension of production in 81, Hongqi's chassis, engine, gearbox and production line were used to manufacture the CA630 station wagon (van).

The reason for the suspension of production is nothing more than backward technology, high fuel consumption, and uncomfortable driving or sitting.

There were even embarrassing scenes a few times.

For example, to welcome overseas VIPs, the other party gets in the car and leaves, but the car of the second leader of the party suddenly falls down.

For example, when driving overseas VIPs to a scenic spot, the brakes suddenly failed, and a real roller coaster came.

It was so unreliable and wasted more than 5000 million funds. The angry big leader directly signed a document of 'seal the car to save fuel'.

But in China, there cannot be no self-produced cars.

Especially in recent years, the influx of overseas brands has been frenzied, and after joining the WTO, there will be more foreign-funded cars.

Therefore, production resumed in 96.

However, Hongqi, which has been suspended for 15 years, lacks not only the gearbox, but also the engine, differential, transfer case, chassis structure, sheet metal painting, vehicle design, and CNC chips...

In other words, the new red flag needs to be re-established.

In Lanfeng's opinion.

TEP can obtain advanced diesel engine technology, advanced gearbox technology, advanced production lines, and even independently produce hot-rolled and cold-rolled sheets...

Xu Fei understands automobile manufacturing and is familiar with operation management and sales.

The most important thing is that this kid can play, he can transfer the assets of foreign companies to himself, and keep foreigners in the dark.

If he is appointed as the factory director of Hongqi, with the help of TEP resources, there will be a great chance to make a big red flag.

In this way, the people are local Chinese, the car is a national brand, and the company is a central enterprise. Is there any better result than this?
Moreover, Huaxia FAW also lost a heavy burden.

Win-win!

……

When Xu Fei received Lan Feng's invitation, he suddenly forgot what he was going to do.

It seems that they want to buy the Audi toy factory.

But why did you become the factory director of Hongqi Automobile?

Is there any connection between the two?

One is in Shancheng in the south, and the other is in Kyrgyzstan in the north.

One private, one central enterprise...

"Director Xu, where are you going?"

"My brain is a little tired, go back to sleep."

"???"

"By the way, Lan Dong, if I become the factory manager, do I have a rank?"

"There will definitely be in the future."

"Is that so?"

Xu Fei turned his eyes, "Leader, what level are you at now?"

"This... is roughly equivalent to the deputy leader of Dongshan Mansion."

"hiss……"

Huaxia FAW and Huaxia Weapons should be at the same level.

The armed old man belongs to the head of the Dongshan branch.

The level is definitely not as good as Lan Feng, the head of the FAW headquarters.

It's just that the old man with military equipment has another identity, the director of the military equipment department of Dongshan Military Department.

Positioning is a bit vague.

But it is certain that Lan Feng should be the biggest leader Xu Fei has ever met.

He is taller than Director Liang of Dongshan Development and Reform, and the old lady of Dongshan Council.

"What's the matter, Director Xu?"

"Uncle Lan, what do you think about the warming weather?"

"???"

"This winter is not as cold as in previous years, and summer will definitely be hotter. If it goes on for a long time, you may not feel anything in three to five years. The winter and summer in more than ten years will definitely be much hotter than now.

Especially with the development of science and technology, heating and electric heaters are used in winter, fans and air conditioners are used in summer, and cars are used for transportation throughout the year. The demand and production increase, and the emissions of power plants and factories will also increase.

And according to TEP (North America) research, there are so many cattle raised in North America, and the wildfires in Australia don’t know when they will burn, and there are gunfire all day long in West Asia...

The overall temperature rises, triggering climate change, when the cold and hot air flow will be opposed, and the northern hemisphere will suddenly cool...

Uncle Lan, we have to prepare early! "

Lan Feng looked at the serious person and couldn't help lighting a cigarette, "Director Xu's plan?"

"Store oil, stockpile cotton, stockpile food, and stock up some rare earth mines... Our company has invested 10 billion dollars."

"How many?!"

"Only in oil, invest 10 billion US dollars. Another 3 million US dollars will be spent to acquire a large number of rare earth mines. Of course, more will be invested in the future."

"..."

"Uncle Lan, I will convince Chief Sun of Huaxia Armament later on, do you want to do it together?"

"This……"

"Think about it carefully, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people."

"Ah."

Lan Feng's fingers trembling slightly.

For a moment, global warming wasn't on his mind.

It is a collaboration between TEP and Carlyle.

Raising dogs with a $18 billion knife must be to deceive people.

The real purpose should be to fry crude oil.

Recalling the cooperation between General Motors and Huaxia Weapons, 900 tanks...

North America looks like it's going to punch someone.

Once beaten up, the price of crude oil will skyrocket in all likelihood.

TEP and Carlyle Investments store crude oil in Huaxia, and wait for the overseas price to soar before selling it, making a sure profit without losing money.

As for who to sell to...

According to the shipping cost, it should be sold to Washima and Nanbangzi.

That is to say, the route to Maliu may be suspended.

Otherwise, how can the fuel prices of Wajima and Nanbangzi skyrocket again?

As for how to stop...

What does Carlyle Investments do?

There is no need to use weapons, just find a heavy oil tanker, and it can be done across the channel.

In this way, domestic fuel prices may also increase.

But the 93 of 2.32 gasoline is already very high...

After smoking a cigarette, Lan Feng pondered for a long time.

Decided to stock up a little quietly first and see the situation.

Also buy some futures...

Immediately remembered the original topic.

"Director Xu, what about Hongqi Automobile?"

"Leader, don't say anything, I am willing to dedicate my youth to Hongqi and fight for China until I grow old!"

"Well said!" Lan Feng gave a thumbs up.

Secretary: "???"

at the same time.

Amidst the exclamation of the exchange group, the three sightseeing cars came to the mechanical testing area.

After working overtime all afternoon, the first set of 'Gas Turbine Generator + Super Capacitor + DC Motor + Gearbox' has been produced.

A 1200-horsepower gas turbine is smaller than a 750-horsepower diesel engine, or even less than a third of the latter.

However, due to the different structure, its length is as high as 1 meter. In order to prevent earthquakes and sand, and also to facilitate remote control and automation, the whole set of devices is sealed into a "box-packed body", which looks like a TV cabinet.

Fortunately, if you use it to generate electricity, you don’t need to add a gearbox with a large reduction ratio at the front end, and you only need to integrate the wind power tower technology to generate electricity.

It is matched with an 800kW generator and consumes 322 liters of diesel and 430 liters of gasoline per hour.

Supercapacitors use three parallel connections and three series connections, and then set up circuit boards, integrating ammeters, inductors, potentiometers, etc., to form a "voltage and current compensation" system to avoid "splashing" discharge.

In this way, the high-power DC motor is activated, and the four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive is realized through the gearbox, and the whole vehicle will run.

However, at present, it is only testing "whether the scheme is reasonable", and the follow-up will be miniaturization, miniaturization, and the development of many automotive-grade chips.

Step into the lab.

Numerous devices are fixed on the workbench, through numerical control operation, to test how to make the layout more reasonable, so as to construct the car chassis.

There are also several computers that come with the laboratory to read out a series of data, which is convenient for researchers to refer to...

After negotiating the matter of Hongqi Automobile, although Xu Fei did not take up the post, he was already drifting away.

Forget even the gearbox.

"Uncle Lan, what do you think of this plan, which can be used as a high-end Hongqi car?"

'Do you want your chairman to fly directly? '

Lan Feng didn't answer the question. After careful observation, he instantly understood the principle and purpose, "How much power do you plan to reduce to?"

"About 500 horsepower, and then reduce fuel consumption, and strive to achieve 200 liters of fuel and a battery life of 500 kilometers." The mechanical engineer responded.

From the sign-in counter at the entrance, Lan Feng picked up a pen and paper to calculate, "It's a great idea, but the capacitor is a bit big, and the motor is added, the overall layout is very troublesome."

"There are currently two solutions. One is to put the gas turbine at the rear of the car, and the motor and supercapacitor at the front. If there is an emergency, the gas turbine can be directly driven, so an adaptive gearbox is added."

"The technical requirements are very high, especially the production process."

"The second solution is to put the gas turbine at the front of the car, and the exhaust gas will run through the entire car, and then perform noise reduction treatment, and at the same time, the electric energy will be sent to the motor and supercapacitor at the rear of the car."

"This is relatively stable. However, the start-up of a gas turbine consumes a lot of fuel, and the consumption of idling can reach [-]% of the full power output. How to solve it?"

"Sorry, this involves the 'cold start and stop' of gas turbines, which is a corporate secret."

"..."

Lan Feng was silent for a long time, and found Xu Fei who was communicating with FAW's electrical engineer.

"Director Xu, I wonder if you have any good ideas for the operation of Hongqi Automobile?"

"Oh?"

Xu Fei thought for a while, and directly applied his own idea of ​​making cars to Hongqi, "I have three strategies: top, middle and bottom, which one do you want?"

Lan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "The best policy!"

"I introduced several ordinary production lines, made Hongqi an ordinary brand, let it enter thousands of households, and occupied half of the automobile market, but it has since fallen from the altar."

"What about Zhongce?"

"Make the Hongqi ultra-high-end, focusing on quality and image, and launch official cars, executive cars, and extended cars for heads of state. Then I will use my personal connections, such as giving it to the chairman of TEP (North America) and the founder of TEP. Give it to Raymond of Carlyle Investment, to the founder of Bain Capital, and if possible, to the chairman of North America.

In this way, you can shape the image of a luxury car and wait for buyers to come to your door.

However, high-end cars require cutting-edge technology. It is estimated that Hongqi Motors cannot afford technology and production lines, so it can only find Daze Power as an OEM. "

"OEM? Is this still domestic?"

Lan Feng shook his head and denied, "What's the worst policy?"

"From now on, Hongqi Automobile will only be responsible for supplying inspection cars and courtesy cars, and leave the rest alone."

"This is even worse. In fact, we tried to make Hongqi an ordinary brand, such as applying the production line of Audi 100 to reproduce the small Hongqi, but we can't make high-end products. It is a pity after all... Director Xu, if we introduce a high-end production line from TEP, How much do you need to invest?"

"It's hard to say, in addition to the three most expensive parts of a car, the engine, gearbox, and chassis structure, there are also vehicle design, car-level chips, electric windows, automatic door stoppers, various lights, various speakers, various There are too many car players, if you want a fully localized 'Hongqi Factory', you can't get it if you sell FAW."

"How about only introducing the 'three big pieces' technologies and production lines?"

"It is estimated that TEP will not be sold."

"..."

Seeing that Lan Feng was lost in thought again, Xu Fei hurriedly pulled away the FAW electrical engineer next to him, "Brother, our salary is very good, especially for research, with a monthly salary of more than [-], including food and housing."

The latter glanced back at Lan Feng, "Then let's make a deal."

"Necessary, I will join the job tonight. But, what does that uncle with messy hair do?"

"He? CNC programming."

"Can you give me a recommendation?"

"Hey, you are going to be the director of Hongqi factory soon. From now on, everyone will be colleagues, so we must get to know each other in advance."

"Where's the uncle at the door?"

"Automated."

"By the way, is Hongqi's headquarters in the FAW General Plant? I want to take up the post soon."
