Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 209 A Bold Proposal, Cao Yang Confronts Confucians

Any engine produced by any manufacturer will not be responsible for the production of all parts by itself.

There are specialties in the technology industry, some small parts look simple, but the production process is very complicated.

Parts such as valve springs and spark plugs are not very valuable, but production is quite complicated.

If you do it all by yourself, it is obviously unrealistic.

As long as the overall layout of the engine is designed by itself, non-core parts can be purchased out completely.

Whether it is a domestic manufacturer or an international parts giant, they are still willing to provide parts in this regard.

Of course, if you have to use parts from manufacturers such as Bosch and Denso, the price will definitely be more expensive.

So in terms of large pieces, Cao Yang is planning to arrange Nanshan to produce them himself.

"Mr. Liang is right. We, Nanshan, are willing to provide engines for F6, and we will go all out to promote the engine project in the next year."

When Cao Yang said this, even if Ji Hua and Pan Jinxing had objections, they couldn't say anything.

You can't tear down the boss in front of the customer, right?
No matter how low the emotional intelligence is, it will not be so low.

"Mr. Cao, Nanshan has produced world-leading gearboxes, and I believe it can also produce world-leading engines."

"I can promise that in the future, the engine and gearbox of the F6 model will always be purchased from Nanshan."

"Of course, the price of our F6 is not comparable to that of the Accord after all, so Nanshan is also welcome to support the cost."

Seeing that Cao Yang agreed to take the order, Wang Fu was relieved.

However, he is also very ruthless and limited the cooperation of F6 models.

He doesn't want to make a commitment on whether to cooperate with other models.

After all, BYD wants to build cars, and it will definitely produce its own engines in the future.

In terms of models, there will not be only one model of F6.

In this regard, Cao Yang did not have much opinion.

However, it is impossible for any car company with a bit of pursuit to buy engines from outside all the time.

After all, in the era of traditional cars, the engine is the most important part of a car.

There is no one of that kind.

For example, Yangcheng Honda claims to buy the engine and send the car away.

It fully demonstrates the importance of the engine and the high level of the engine.

"Nanshan's products have always been competitive in terms of QCD, please rest assured Mr. Wang."

"However, what you have studied before is the 2.4L inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine used in the Accord. I have some new ideas in this regard."

When Cao Yang said this, both Wang Fu and Liang Chuanqing looked at him with great interest.

It's good to have an idea.

I'm afraid Nanshan has no idea.

"Mr. Cao, the turbocharged engine uses exhaust gas to drive the pump wheel to rotate at high speed, driving the coaxial turbine to rotate at high speed. Due to the inertia of the turbine, there is a certain hysteresis in theory. Of course, small inertia turbines are generally used now. The hysteresis is not obvious, but in terms of dynamic response, it is still half a beat slower, light pedaling is not heavy pedaling and the car is moving."

"This question seems to have no solution."

"Will it become a point of complaint for consumers and competitors in the future?"

Although his heart was already moved, Liang Chuanqing was still a little worried.

"Mr. Liang's statement is actually what many people say that the acceleration curve of a naturally aspirated engine is linear, while turbocharging is a curve, so the turbo lags at low speeds."

"In fact, naturally aspirated engines are not linear. At high speeds, the air intake effect of self-aspirated engines is poor, and the solution to the problem is to use variable valve timing and lift technology to increase the valve opening time at high speeds. , and the lift is to enlarge the opening area so as to continue to increase the intake air volume.”

"Such as Honda's VTEC, Nissan VVEL, etc.? In fact, when the engine speed is pulled above 5500 rpm and the lift is turned on, the feeling is abrupt and feels like beating chicken blood. Is this called linear and smooth?"

"Turbocharged engines are less effective at low speeds, but naturally aspirated engines are less effective at high speeds."

"At that time, everyone will be talking."

"Many times, turbo lag is because the engine and transmission are not well matched, and the start is slow and frequent setbacks are caused by transmission problems."

"This aspect is Nanshan's advantage. After all, our gearboxes are produced by ourselves."

"The concept of continuous development of internal combustion engines is smaller size, lower speed, lower displacement, smaller weight, and greater power per liter."

"I heard that Volkswagen's next-generation models will use turbocharged engines on a large scale."

"GM is also preparing to introduce more turbocharged engines in the future."

"That is, the Japanese car companies will move slower in this regard."

When Cao Yang said this, Liang Chuanqing did not refute.

After all, people stand at a higher height.

"Mr. Cao, since Nanshan has the confidence to improve the turbocharged engine, then our future F6 models will be turbocharged."

Wang Fu is also a very courageous person.

Cao Yang has already spoken so thoroughly, there is no reason for him to still insist on using a naturally aspirated engine.

He even felt that it was the right time to come to Nanshan today.

In the future, the direction of the engines researched by BYD will need to be changed.

"Mr. Cao, the 1.5T turbocharged engine can certainly meet the needs of the F6, but now there are generally two displacement engines for consumers to choose from in each model."

"This is also an important means of widening the price difference of different configurations."

"Do you have any idea in this regard?"

Now that the general direction was set, Liang Chuanqing naturally began to consider some more specific issues.

"This is easy to handle. We can launch a low-power version of the 1.5T engine and a high-power version of the 1.5T engine."

"This is the direction of the first step. If there are other models that need to be launched in the future, we can consider reviewing the 2.0T and 1.0T versions."

"As long as there is a mature and reliable 1.5T engine, it will not be so difficult to study other displacements."

Cao Yang immediately answered Liang Chuanqing's question.

There are already so many solutions used by OEMs in later generations, and he has nothing to worry about.

Of course, you can review things like the hybrid version in the future, so don't worry about it now.

After all, it was only 2003, and the hybrid market was far from exploding.

One step ahead is a genius, but two steps ahead may make people think you are crazy.

"Mr. Wang, since we have already talked about the next engine research project, I will also briefly share with you some of BYD's expectations for the engine."

What Liang Chuanqing said was quite polite.

After all, it is his side who is actively seeking cooperation now.

And Nanshan also strongly agreed.

Naturally, they can't have the attitude of Party A's father.

"If Mr. Liang has any request, just mention it."

"I still say that, as long as Nanshan can do it, we will fully cooperate."

"If Nanshan can't do it now, I will try my best to create conditions to do it."

It is also a good thing for Cao Yang that the Nanshan engine project has just started and there is a model equipped with it.

After all, engine development takes time, and it also takes time for OEMs to verify whether your engine is suitable for my model.

If the simultaneous review cannot be carried out at the stage of the new model, it will take more time later.

Nanshan's current turnover has reached 100 billion. Without a large number of new parts, it will be difficult to increase quickly if it reaches 200 billion at most.

But once the engine project officially enters mass production at the end of this year, the power configuration of engine + gearbox will definitely win the favor of more independent brand car companies.

At that time, let alone 200 billion turnover, it is not impossible to double it again.

After all, Cao Yang is confident that the engine + gearbox developed by Nanshan is better than any independent brand.

Even compared with the international auto giants, there is a little gap in quality stability.

The parameters on paper are definitely not bad.

If you consider that the engines that the international auto giants are investing in China are not their most advanced products, then it is not surprising that Nanshan will overtake others.

"In fact, our requirement is also very simple, that is, the output power of Nanshan's 1.5T turbocharged engine cannot be lower than the parameters of the current Accord 2.4L naturally aspirated engine."

"In terms of fuel consumption, it is best to have an advantage of more than 10%."

"And in terms of cost, we don't compare it with the Accord, at least it can't be higher than the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine sold by Aerospace Mitsubishi."

"As for the quality, I also hope that Nanshan's engine can ensure that there will be no obvious problems during the warranty period."

Liang Chuanqing's request was not particularly exaggerated.

In addition to the fuel consumption that was raised today, the others were originally BYD's requirements for its own internal engine projects.

After all, if these requirements cannot be met, then what is the point of researching the engine by yourself?

"no problem!"

"These will be the must-achieve goals of our engine project. I will set up a special engine research and development team to make a big breakthrough in the form of special research."

Both Ji Hua and Pan Jinxing were a little surprised by Cao Yang's words.

Big attack?
This is a statement that my boss has never made before.

It seems that the next focus of my boss's work is the research and development of the engine.

However, neither of them said much at this time.

There will definitely be another meeting in Nanshan later, and we can talk freely at that meeting.

……

"Mr. Wang, do you think Nanshan can successfully develop the engine we need?"

"Is it necessary to maintain communication with Aerospace Mitsubishi at that time, just in case?"

On the way back to the company, Liang Chuanqing and Wang Fu sat in the same car and continued to discuss today's affairs.

The engine is the most important component assembly in a car, and it cannot be overemphasized.

To put it bluntly, if the engine fails, then BYD's F6 is a failure.

"Judging from Nanshan's past performance, they have never disappointed."

"Even for parts with such a high technical threshold as 6AT, they can break through. There is no reason why they can't handle the engine."

"Especially in the engine field, they have successfully researched a dozen parts including ECU."

"Now it's just a further study of the entire engine assembly, not starting from scratch."

"Personally, I am more optimistic about Nanshan, but we have to make preparations."

"We don't need to carry Aerospace Mitsubishi on mass-produced vehicles, but it can be carried out as a review plan during the promotion of new models."

Although we are strategic partners, it is obviously impossible for Wang Fu to pin all his hopes on Nanshan.

Even if he thinks that Nanshan has a relatively high possibility of successful research.

"I also think this will be safer. After all, the listing at the end of this year is already the maximum delay we can accept."

"It would be the best if Nanshan can deliver the engine smoothly."

"If it really doesn't work, it's not unacceptable to use an Aerospace Mitsubishi engine first."

Wang Fu didn't say anything more about Liang Chuanqing's statement. Instead, he said with emotion: "Before, I didn't quite understand why Mr. Cao was able to take Nanshan to take off in a short period of time."

"After chatting with him today, I discovered that he is more powerful than others."

Wang Fu came out of the system to start a business, and achieved today's achievements in less than ten years, which is considered very successful in itself.

To some extent, he can be regarded as the darling of the times.

But today he is better than himself in some areas in Cao Yang.

"Mr. Wang, are you referring to the turbocharged engine?"

Liang Chuanqing is also a smart person.

Naturally, we can find the key points from today's conversation.

"That's right, among the domestic independent brands, who is making turbocharged engines?"

"Even those Japanese and Korean companies are still working hard on the road of naturally aspirated engines, and they haven't considered switching to turbocharging at all."

"In such an advanced situation, Mr. Cao is able to make a judgment that the future market will shift to turbocharging based on the background of the rapid development of China's auto industry and the overall oil import situation. I admire it very much."

"We didn't even think about the problem before, and even the first reaction was that it was impossible."

"Analyzed from his mouth, but I think it makes a lot of sense."

"It seems that he knows the development direction of China's automobile industry in the future."

"This kind of ability is definitely not possessed by ordinary people. The key is that he still has the ability to promote the company's development in this direction according to his own prediction."

"The future of Nanshan is very worth looking forward to."

When Wang Fu said this, Liang Chuanqing also had a deep understanding.

However, he immediately realized a problem and said, "Mr. Wang, now the engine and gearbox are purchased from Nanshan. Their strength in auto parts is stronger than ours."

"If they build their own cars in the future, wouldn't it be better than ours?"

"The supply of our engines and gearboxes will be a big problem at that time, right?"
