Chapter 1235 The building is crooked into the Leaning Tower of Pisa
"What? Do you want to stop this project?" Qiu Yingchun thought Lin Zheng was joking and said with a smile: "There are less than 15,000 buses in the entire capital. Even if you hand over the entire modification project to you, you will have more money? Will your boss Lin take this money into consideration?"
This is not so much a joke with Lin Zheng, but rather a tactful admonition: I don’t know how many people are watching the fuel upgrade and renovation project of the entire capital bus. Although the total amount is not small, your boss Lin is not short of this kind of channel for making money. As for it?
Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Of course we don't want to take down this project. Our Lianchuang Technology began to study the engine's electronic management system a few years ago..."
"Engine management system? Are you talking about electro-injection technology?" Qiu Yingchun was quite knowledgeable. When Lin Zheng talked about the engine management system, he immediately connected it with electro-injection technology. He was surprised: "You said you started to study the electro-injection technology of the engine several years ago? Is it true or false?"
How important is electro-injection technology? Qiu Yingchun also heard from FAW, Erqi and some comrades from SAIC that this thing is very difficult and very difficult. Only the United States, Japan and Germany, which can develop electro-injection technology in the world, have the United States, Japan and Germany, with highly developed automobile industries. The countries have also asked FAW to organize scientific research forces to develop electro-injection technology, but the final result is that FAW said that the electro-injection technology is too difficult, and it is difficult to form a scale with the existing domestic automobile manufacturing level, and it ends in vain.:.
Qiu Yingchun always thought that electro-injection technology was difficult, but now, Lin Zheng actually told himself that their company has developed its own engine electro-injection technology?
Is this possible?
If someone else came to tell him, Qiu Yingchun would give this guy a "King of Talk" sign in his heart without saying anything, but since this was what Lin Zheng said, he was a little curious.
"Yes, our company started developing electronic injection technology a few years ago, and since the second half of last year, the electronic injection system we produced has been successfully installed on the Alto sedan we produced, and the market's reaction has been very good." Lin Zheng's face was full of pride, as if he saw his child having a future.
"Really?" Qiu Yingchun was moved. At the same time, he was a little confused: "But as far as I know, it seems that this thing needs a lot of data to support, and at the same time, it also needs to pay attention to the economies of scale. If it does not reach a certain scale, it will be very cost-effective."
"I really don't know that you are an expert in automobiles." Lin Zheng looked at Qiu Yingchun in surprise and flattered him a little: "Many people don't know what you said at all."
Qiu Yingchun was still very happy when he was flattered by Lin Zheng. He laughed and said, "I am doing work in the Planning Commission. How can I do it if I don't know anything? Well, tell me about your development of the electronic spray system. Well, how is the performance of fuel consumption and power?"
His interest was completely mobilized. The country spent a huge amount of money to introduce computer boards for electronic injection systems from abroad every year. If we could produce them ourselves, how much valuable foreign exchange can be saved for the country this year? With these precious foreign prices, how much further equipment and technology can the country introduce? At the same time, he also complained to Lin Zheng: Since you have all created your own electronic injection technology, why not say it earlier?
Lin Zheng didn't know the resentment in Qiu Yingchun's heart, but Qiu Yingchun was interested in Lianchuang Technology's engine management technology, which was a good thing. He cheered up his spirits, and didn't care whether he was clearly talking about the renovation of the fuel system of the capital bus, why did his company's electronic injection system suddenly turn into a pitiful look and said with a wry smile: "It's actually really difficult. We used almost 2,000 engineers and more than 3,000 staff to buy all the brands of cars on the market, drive them all year round, and run around from all over the world to collect the working status data of the engine under various working conditions, build databases, and build mathematical models."
Qiu Yingchun knew a lot about cars. When Lin Zheng said this, he sighed very much: "It's not easy, it's really not easy for you."
Although Lin Zheng just said this simply, he could still imagine how much money and effort Lin Zheng and others spent to develop this electronic spray technology. He sincerely appreciated Lin Zheng and his down-to-earth work style: "These data are the core competitiveness of electronic spray systems such as Bosch, Delphi, and Mitsubishi. They can sell them to our electronic spray products, but these data will never be sold to us. The funds spent on collecting these data, alas... are there any?"
"Yes," Lin Zheng nodded: "I don't know if you still remember? Our company previously acquired Cosworth, a British engine manufacturer, and also acquired the F1 team Minardi. These two have accumulated years of engine parameters. In addition, Cosworth is also a supplier of the world's top racing electronic injection systems. We have successfully developed an electronic injection system that can be used in ordinary civilian vehicles with their help."
"Cosworth, I know them," Qiu Yingchun suddenly realized when he talked about Cosworth. He really knew that he loved the company very much: "They are also the engine suppliers of the F1 race, very powerful, and the Minardi team is also amazing. With Cosworth, Minardi completely provides you with technical and data support. It is not surprising that you can develop electronic injection technology... Well, you took a good move back then, but others couldn't learn from you."
"This thing is a bottomless pit for burning money. You don't know that if you spend a lot of money every day, you can't see when the result will come out. That feeling..." With a wry smile, Lin Zheng said: "It's hard to look back, but we finally succeeded. It took more than four years. The electric injection system we used on Alto is comparable to the latest Changan Alto using Mitsubishi electric injection technology. In fact, it is slightly more than that of Changan Alto. The only regret is that it is slightly less ideal in terms of fuel consumption, about 5% to 8% higher than Changan Alto."
"It's only 5% to 8% higher, and it can keep the power slightly higher? Not bad, very good," Qiu Yingchun nodded repeatedly, with a look of joy: "This is your company's first electronic injection system. What else do you want to achieve such achievements? It will definitely get better and better in the future... Well, what does your electronic injection system have to do with the fuel system transformation of the capital buses you mentioned?"
Lin Zheng felt relieved: It's not easy. The building, which I don't know where this wail has finally come back. He hurriedly said: "That's right, the hardware cost of the electronic injection system is mainly on various industrial control chips on the motherboard. It must reach a certain scale to achieve break-even."
"Yeah, I know this," Qiu Yingchun, who had no conscious awareness of interrupting others' words, nodded repeatedly: "What is the profit and loss point of your company?" He was a little worried again: "At least it will have to be millions, right? Can you do this at such a large scale?"
"This is where we ask for help from you," Lin Zheng smiled bitterly: "The breakeven point we calculated is 800,000..."
"So little?" Qiu Yingchun interrupted Lin Zheng and asked in surprise: "The data submitted by FAW back then was at least 1.5 million."
1.5 million?!FAW really dares to release satellites! Lin Zheng grinned secretly, but it was a bit unwise to say bad things about FAW at this time. Lin Zheng just smiled and said, "We are an electronics company. Although we can produce some of them ourselves, the chips purchased and handed over to OEM manufacturers still account for the majority, and some of the costs can be diluted here;
Our company will install part of it ourselves. We also provide the electronic injection system used by Geely Auto now. Next, we are still providing electronic injection equipment for the two cars, Carnival and Focus. In addition, Capital Hyundai Motor also agreed to install some in small batches to see the market reaction. If we can win the market for the modification of the bus fuel supply system, the gap will be only 300,000, and we can still bear this loss."
The brain circuit of the leader is indeed different from that of ordinary people. Normal people should ask Lin Zheng, "Does the electronic injection system still need to be used for bus modification?", but Qiu Yingchun is more concerned about another question: "Are you willing to bear this loss? Also, why didn't you go to FAW, Erqi and SAIC? If your price has an advantage, they have no reason not to purchase your electronic control system, right?"
Lin Zheng didn't expect that Qiu Yingchun's brain structure was so different from that of himself. He was slightly stunned and said helplessly: "Of course we have looked for it, but they don't look down on small businesses like us at all, so..."
"..." Qiu Yingchun was also speechless. As soon as he said that, he knew how stupid he had asked, so he had to signal Lin Zheng to continue talking.
"In addition to ourselves and Geely Automobile and the capital Hyundai, we will visit Changan Automobile separately next time, and strive to establish a strategic cooperation relationship with them. In addition, based on the country's economic development and the central government's loose and policy to encourage the development of the automobile industry, it is optimistic that our country will reach an annual output of more than 5 million cars in 10 years, and ours will almost come by then, so we are willing to grit our teeth and hold on to some of the losses now."
He did not dare to say that the annual sales of passenger cars in the Republic in 10 years have exceeded 12 million units, for fear of scaring Qiu Yingchun: the number of 5 million was obtained by the country.
Sure enough, when he heard Lin Zheng's words, Qiu Yingchun nodded: "So you would rather bear the losses in the next few years than occupy the future market? This is a good idea... Let's talk about the fuel modification of this bus?"
Finally it's back! (To be continued.)
