Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 217 Difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, Great Wall Motor's test
Fang Sisi is slightly shorter than Mi Ying.

However, the height of 168cm is definitely outstanding among the girls in Yangcheng.

The unique temperament and affinity are even more impressive.

"Mr. Cao, we meet again!"

Seeing Cao Yang approaching, Fang Sisi stretched out his hand very actively.

After Cao Yang gave a shallow shake, he couldn't help asking: "Isn't Reporter Fang based in Dongying Kyoto? Are you back to China now?"

"Now I'm transferred back to China and become a resident reporter of Huaxia TV station in Lingnan."

"The news related to Nanshan will be mainly followed up by me in the future."

"Please take care of Mr. Cao in the future."

Fang Sisi obviously knew that Cao Yang would ask such a question, so she was not surprised at all.

"Over there, the appearance of Dongpu is the same ten years ago and ten years later. It is difficult to find a few outstanding news every day."

"It's not like our Lingnan Province, where there are heavy news every now and then."

"Especially Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd., I heard that you released satellites for everyone on Nanshan Science and Technology Day today?"

People who can be reporters are naturally more talkative.

After Fang Sisi met Cao Yang, she didn't feel strange at all.

"Fortunately, we just invested more manpower and material resources in research and development than others, and the natural return is [-] million points more."

"In the future, we will have to trouble reporter Fang to help us promote our products more."

Whether it's the respect for beautiful women or the special status of Huaxia TV, Cao Yang's attitude towards Fang Sisi is quite good.

"Once born and twice acquainted, Mr. Cao can just call me Sisi."

Fang Sisi smiled and showed two dimples, full of affinity.

"Before the Nanshan Science and Technology Day, all our customers were invited. After all, it was a technology recommendation meeting, so I didn't have the nerve to invite the media. I don't know why you are interested in such a boring technology exhibition, Sisi?"

As Cao Yang said, he led Fang Sisi towards various exhibition halls.

Behind Fang Sisi, there are people carrying cameras taking pictures of various scenes.

"Nanshan is the company that has won the largest number of National Science and Technology Progress Awards among domestic companies."

"I was stationed in Yangcheng, so naturally I want to focus on a powerful company like Nanshan."

"In particular, I heard that you have officially launched a 1.5T turbocharged engine today. This is the first turbocharged engine for passenger cars in China, and its technical parameters are better than those of international counterparts."

"I can't bear to miss such a good news material."

Naturally, it was impossible for Fang Sisi to interview Cao Yang there from beginning to end.

More often, two people are visiting like chatting.

It was only when she arrived at the engine exhibition hall that she began to record a few minutes of video alone, and then formally interviewed Cao Yang with a few questions.

For this kind of official interview, Cao Yang's answer is naturally quite satisfactory, there is no need to speak out.

However, even so, this scene has attracted the attention of many people.

"Xiao Lu, is the output power of Nanshan's 1.5T turbocharged engine higher than that used in our Accord?"

"Have you heard that Honda is researching turbocharged engines?"

As the deputy director of the procurement department of Yangcheng Honda, Li Huarong was naturally invited to participate in the Nanshan Science and Technology Day.

Among the various international auto giants, Honda has always been known for its engine technology.

What one day Honda, lifelong Honda.

Buy the engine and send the car.

It's all the "faith" of some Honda fans.

Seeing that Nanshan has actually developed an engine that is even better than Honda, Li Huarong naturally feels a little threatening.

Nanshan has this engine, which means that domestic independent brands may be able to use this engine.

Coupled with the 6AT automatic transmission provided by Nanshan before, the two weakest links of the self-owned brand were made up by Nanshan.

If this is superimposed with various configurations with high cost performance, will the sales of Yangcheng Honda be affected in the future?
Li Huarong expressed concern about this.

"Judging from the data currently displayed by Nanshan, this is indeed the case."

"However, turbocharging is not a new technology. Honda already equipped the ER-type 80L inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine on the CITY TURBO in the 1.2s."

"Even for Honda, turbocharged engines have long been their specialty. In the field of F80 racing in the 1s, Honda's turbocharged engines were invincible all over the world and dominated the entire F1 arena. In the end, they had to force The FIA ​​amended the rules of the game to completely ban the application of turbocharged engines in F1 cars."

"Even apart from Honda, Nissan had its own turbocharged engine earlier."

"It's just that the early turbocharged engines had various problems of one kind or another, and they had no overall advantage over naturally aspirated engines, so they didn't get popular on a large scale."

"With the advancement of technology, some problems with turbocharged engines have been slowly solved, so now Europe has started to pick up turbocharged engines again."

"Of course, the driving force behind the policy is also very important."

Lu Xiangyang didn't deliberately belittle Nanshan's turbocharged engine there, but he really didn't think it was so great.

At least he didn't think it was a big deal before the actual car sales.

"The last time I communicated with the people at the Honda Research Institute about future new models, none of the new models launched before 2008 used turbocharged engines."

"But I heard that Volkswagen's next-generation engine platform is a turbocharged engine, and Ford and GM also have meanings in this regard."

"Wouldn't it be bad for us if the wind direction of the market in the future is turbocharged engines?"

Li Huarong thought more.

It's just that this answer is destined not to be given by Lu Xiangyang.

……

"Golmo, I just got the news that Nanshan has launched a 1.5T turbocharged engine, and it is now being promoted to various independent brands in China."

"Didn't the engine manufacturers like Dong'an Power and Aerospace Mitsubishi want to switch our camshaft bearings and other bearings to Nanshan's bearings?"

"I think we can take the initiative to report the situation of Nanshan Engine to them, so that they can realize the harm that Nanshan has brought to the industry."

Xue Wenqiang is very concerned about Nanshan Science and Technology Day.

Although he has no way to go to the scene himself, he has already found out about the relevant exhibition technology of the Science and Technology Day through acquaintances.

In addition to various bearings, the engine is undoubtedly a key product that attracts SKF.

After all, there are many places on the engine that need to use bearings.

However, Nanshan made relatively few achievements in this area before.

Now that Nanshan has taken the initiative to enter the engine industry, it can be regarded as a competitor with those engine manufacturers.

As long as SKF pushes behind the scenes, these engine manufacturers will definitely not use Nanshan's products again.

Even some of the bearing items that are now identified for replacement, have the potential to turn yellow.

Undoubtedly, this is in the interests of SKF and the interests of engine manufacturers.

Xue Wenqiang was aware of this, so he took the initiative to communicate with Golmer.

"It's not enough for Nanshan to make a gearbox, but to make an engine?"

"Can they work it out?"

Holm maintained a certain degree of skepticism towards the news reported by Xue Wenqiang.

There is no way, Huaxia's engine manufacturers are too weak.

Except for some heavy-duty diesel engines that are independently produced in China, other gasoline engines are generally unavailable.

"Although I also feel very puzzled, but the engine has indeed been produced, and I heard that it will be mass-produced by the end of this year."

"In this case, other engine manufacturers will definitely feel the crisis."

"Especially companies like Aerospace Mitsubishi and Dongan Power that specialize in the production of engines."

"We can take advantage of that."

When Xue Wenqiang said this, Golmer did not hesitate any longer, and said: "Tomorrow we will go to Aerospace Mitsubishi in person, and then we will also visit Dongan Power, exaggerate the threat of Nanshan Engine, and let them continue to cooperate with us and NTN , don’t consider Nanshan Bearing.”

Suppressing Nanshan is in line with SKF's major policies.

Even this has become one of the topics discussed by the SKF board of directors.

Due to the emergence of Nanshan, SKF's turnover in 2002 showed negative growth for the first time in many years.

Among them, the negative growth in Huaxia District is the most glaring.

If the headquarters didn't feel that another person would not be able to do a better job, Holm's position would have been lost.

……

Great Wall Motors moved quickly.

In the afternoon of the same day, after Wang Ying reported to the big boss, he took the initiative to ask Cao Yang to discuss the cooperation of the 1.5T turbocharged engine.

"Mr. Cao, the engine durability test report and various parameters provided by your company are all reproducible, right?"

Before the formal negotiation, Wang Ying reconfirmed the situation of the Nanshan engine.

After all, they haven't got a formal prototype for testing yet, they just read Nanshan's test report.

Although judging from the report, the performance of this engine is absolutely excellent.

The quality also seems to be very good, after the durability test, there is no problem at all.

However, these are based on the fact that the report materials provided by Nanshan are true and reliable, and are not made under special circumstances.

"Mr. Wang, when you leave Yangcheng tomorrow, the five engine prototypes we provided to Great Wall Motors can be formally loaded and transported to your company."

"If there is any falsification in our parameters, if your company has any questions, you can raise them."

"We promise to provide an answer that satisfies your company."

Cao Yang is obviously very confident about the level of his own engine.

He also noticed that Great Wall Motors is the manufacturer most interested in 1.5T engines after BYD.

No matter from which point of view, Cao Yang definitely hopes to promote Great Wall Motors to use Nanshan's engine.

Even if it's just for a few years.

After all, in the engine business, he had no intention of earning a lifetime of money.

It is enough to make a good fortune within ten years.

"Mr. Cao, we fully believe in your character."

"We have all seen Nanshan's technical level."

"Currently, half of Great Wall Motor's models are equipped with Nanshan's gearboxes. We are very willing to cooperate with your company on engines, but I don't know if Mr. Cao has any rigid requirements for the cooperation method?"

Wang Ying did not directly propose to buy other people's engine technology as soon as he came up.

It's easy to talk things over like this.

"We at Nanshan are open to all kinds of cooperation, and we can talk about anything."

Cao Yang will definitely not make a statement before Great Wall Motors has a license.

So I just gave a relatively ambiguous answer.

"I heard that the models that BYD will launch this year will use this engine?"

The circle of the auto industry is very small.

When will anyone get a new car? It's no secret at all.

After all, there must be overlap in the supply chain between any two auto companies.

As for cars, it will take one or two years at the fastest from research and development to launch.

Even for Japanese car companies such as Toyota and Honda, it is necessary to start research and development four or five years in advance.

During such a long R&D cycle, it is impossible for relevant news not to spread at all.

So it is normal for Wang Ying to know the situation of BYD.

They don't even need to arrange any commercial espionage to inquire about this information.

"That's right, to be honest, our engine came out ahead of schedule because of the needs of BYD's models."

Everyone knew the news, so naturally Cao Yang didn't need to hide it.

Anyway, BYD will soon start the next model promotion.

At that time, some information will officially appear in the media.

"If Great Wall Motor also purchases this engine, can it be better than BYD in terms of business conditions?"

The current size of Great Wall Motor is definitely larger than that of BYD Auto.

Everyone's position in the automotive industry is also different.

It is no wonder that Wang Ying has such a problem.

"It depends on how many Nanshan engines your company plans to buy. If the number is much larger than that of BYD, then the business conditions are naturally negotiable."

In Shangyanshang, Cao Yang would not be angry even if Great Wall's demands were a little too much.

It's nothing to be mad about.

Who doesn't want their conditions to be better?

"I heard that when China was discussing the purchase of aircraft with Airbus, a plan was mentioned, that is, the first few aircraft were directly imported from Airbus, but the remaining batch of aircraft orders needed to be built in China for final assembly. "

"I think this approach is very instructive."

"If Great Wall uses Nanshan's engine, can the first batch be purchased directly from Nanshan, and the latter batch of technology will be transferred from Nanshan and assembled and produced inside Great Wall Motor?"

Wang Ying found a cover at random, and formally threw out her proposal.

She really wanted to know how Cao Yang would catch the ball like this.
