Lin Zheng grinned, "What do you think? Even if our country wants to use it, it should be of other models, such a fully-connected thing... Do you think any country will establish a completely different logistics maintenance system from the previous logistics maintenance system for such a thing?"

This is the truth. Andre had to admit that what Lin Zheng said was indeed correct. For a country's army, maximizing and simplifying the logistics maintenance system and allowing new equipment to be used with existing logistics equipment and maintenance systems is something that must be done under modern war conditions. If the logistics maintenance of each type of equipment requires a separate system, the logistics personnel can go crazy and shoot their own heads directly.

"Well, I believe this has nothing to do with your country, but why?" Andre was still curious.

"I'm very interested in this 7907's full-fledged transmission," Lin Zheng repeated again, "I think this thing may be a bit inspiring to me, of course, if you're not happy, then forget it."

"I'll do my best," Andre hesitated for a moment and spoke carefully, "but it's probably not cheap. That car may cost $1 million."

You can get a fully electric all-terrain, all-weather heavy-duty military-wheeled off-road transport vehicle with full-electric transmission? Lin Zheng, who knew the value of this thing, immediately felt that he had made a lot of money, and the local tyrant was suddenly filled with energy, "Money is not a problem! Andre, no matter how much you can get, I will accept it all... I will give you $100,000 in hard work for each car."

$100,000? Andre's eyes were straightened. His annual salary in Terex was only $60,000. Now, Lin Zheng said that as long as he helped him get a 7907, he would have a $100,000 labor fee, which was almost his two-year income. He was immediately moved. "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm a rich man!" Lin Zheng patted his chest and glanced at Andre with contempt, "You should know how much the construction cost of my base is, right? Do you think I can't afford such a sum of money?"

Andre really knew the construction cost of this base, and he immediately felt relieved, "No problem, I will contact you now. I believe there will be results within a month."

"To celebrate our happy cooperation, we should have a drink," Lin Zheng said. He picked up the Erguotou bottle at his hand and touched Andrei. After a sip of wine, Lin Zheng patted Andrei's shoulder warmly, "Boss, what's the point of being this damn engineer? Why don't you come and continue to do your electric transmission? With your IQ, you can guess. I asked you to help me with this fully electric transmission military off-road vehicle, hoping to develop a fully electric transmission technology for commercial vehicles."

"What you are saying is Terex's maintenance engineer. To put it bluntly, it's actually a repairman... I dare to bet with you $1,000. Terex definitely didn't say that to you at the beginning. If this continues, your ability will be useless."

Lin Zheng was right. Terex did not say that to Andre at that time. At that time, Terex patted his chest and promised Andre confidently: Terex was going to develop a large mine vehicle with full electric transmission. They urgently needed experts like Andre who had extremely high attainments in electric transmission technology to join. As long as Andre agrees, Terex will provide Andre with the best research conditions...

On the one hand, there was a "huge" salary of $50,000 per year that Terex waved, and on the other hand, there was a job he liked but could not do, and the situation of a family that was almost out of food. What would Andre do with his feet? Before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, for the Soviet engineers at that time, the annual salary of $50,000 was almost a huge number that they could not imagine.

"I..." Andre was a little moved.

He could see that Lin Zheng did seem to have the intention of doing electric transmission, which was exactly what he liked. To be honest, he has been unable to do the work and research he liked in the past few years, and could only be an optional repairman. Andre was almost crazy. If he could do the electric transmission he liked, it would be great, but when he thought of the contract signed with Terex, it seemed like a basin of cold water poured down Andre's head.

"No," Andre shook his head with difficulty, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I signed a 10-year work contract with Terex. If I breach the contract, I will need to pay a huge sum of $500,000...I can't afford this money anyway."

Lin Zheng couldn't help but smack his tongue. Terex was planning to waste Andrei's death.

It’s not that Lin Zheng can’t afford the $500,000, but he must be sure whether Andre is worth it if he is worth the $500,000 he is going to pay...

"Lao An, I can help you pay this money, and you don't even have to pay it back." After thinking for a full two minutes, Lin Zheng slowly spoke.

Andre blinked, without saying a word, but stared at Lin Zheng and waited for him to continue saying: Since Lin Zheng was willing to pay the 500,000 US dollars in liquidated damages for him and he didn't even have to pay back the money himself, then he must have some extraordinary and harsh conditions...

Andre guessed right.

"But you prove your level of electric transmission technology to me," Lin Zheng looked at Andre honestly, "If you can prove your ability, I can help you build a special electric transmission research laboratory. You can even re-convene your old colleagues and subordinates. I can help you pay your liquidated damages, and I can also ensure that your salary will not be lower than the previous level... You have been living in our country for a while, and you should be very clear about what kind of purchasing power such a salary level represents... You and your family can move here, and each family can receive a gift of a car. What is the condition?"

"Are you telling the truth?" Andrei raised his head and looked at Lin Zheng tightly, "Lin, this joke is not funny."

"Do you think I'm going to joke about this kind of thing? Andre, you are an electric transmission engineer and you should be very clear that replacing internal combustion engines by electric motors is an inevitable trend in the future development of transmission technology, just like internal combustion engines replacing steam engines."

Andrei remained silent, but not saying anything does not mean that he disagrees with Lin Zheng's words. He did agree with Lin Zheng's words. In fact, all those who study electric transmission are almost all firm believers of "electric power will inevitably replace internal combustion engines". Just as internal combustion engines replace steam engines, electric motors will also replace internal combustion engines sooner or later.

Andre didn't speak, Lin Zheng didn't care, and continued, "Look, we have reached an agreement on this point. Since we have the same view, the matter is simple: electric transmission technology is just starting now, and we don't have to face the encirclement of so many giants like we are using internal combustion engines. This is a good business opportunity. I am not short of money. Our ancestors also said that industries related to food, clothing, housing and transportation are always needed by society. Since that is the case, why don't we start preparing now?"

"Are you going to make an electric car?" Andre finally spoke.

"Electric vehicles?" Lin Zheng shook his head, "It's not possible now. If you join, what we are going to do is the electric drive of commercial vehicles."

"But please be honest, you seem to have only one car modification factory under your command." Andre was obviously a little moved, but obviously he was still a little worried.

If possible, Andre certainly hoped that this kind of thing would happen in the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union collapsed. This is a fact that has happened and cannot be changed. However, for those bastards who cheated the Soviet Union and himself, Andre had no good feelings at all. Cooperating with Lin Zheng seemed to be a good choice. At least he had no good feelings for the Chinese. But in the same way, he also had concerns about Lin Zheng. Is this guy not even a car factory?

"It is precisely because I don't have a car factory, and the cost of obtaining related technologies is unimaginable, that's why I can work hard to develop electric transmission technology. Andre, do you think those traditional automobile manufacturing giants will have me working so hard to do electric transmission?" Lin Zheng asked back.

The old man has to admit that what Lin Zheng said is indeed a bit reasonable. Now the automobile giants around the world are putting all their efforts to improve the internal combustion engine in their hands. The internal combustion engine technology has only been developed for less than 100 years. With the emergence of various new technologies such as booster technology, variable valve technology intake and exhaust gas, new atomization combustion technology, and other new technologies, traditional internal combustion engines still have great potential for improvement and improvement. Everyone can rely on the internal combustion engine for at least 50 years.

Although everyone knows that the future will be the world of electric motors, since we have 50 years to make buffering, why should we be anxious? We can slowly improve the internal combustion engine while slowly making electric motors.

Lin Zheng doesn't think so. Whoever dares to think so will definitely die miserably. Look at the embarrassment of those auto giants after 2013. There are no automobile manufacturers now? It doesn't matter. There are always more solutions to problems than problems. If it really doesn't work, go abroad to get a "turtle" and come back, and it will immediately become a hot item.

"I need to think about it." Andrei pondered for a long time, finally raised his head, "But regardless of whether I agree or not, I will try my best to get you a 7907."

"It would be even better if you could take the colleagues who worked with electric transmission technology lighter," Lin Zheng said with a thick face.

………………………………………

"Are you so optimistic about the prospect of electric power?" Andre left, Tan Na's ghost came out of nowhere and stood behind Lin Zheng.

Lin Zheng did not look back and looked at Terex not far ahead and said quietly, "Didn't you hear Andre say that because high-power diesel engines are so powerful that they burn oil. Those super heavy mining vehicles have begun to use full-electric transmission. Even those rich bosses think that using oil is not as good as using electricity. They have resources, but the more they use it, they are less and less. Do you think in more than ten or twenty years, will this situation be the turn of ordinary people?... The vision of doing a business must be long-term."

ps: I updated 4 days a day for 6 consecutive days. Today I was really tired and exhausted. I sat in front of the computer in the morning and had no idea at all. I knew this was brain fatigue caused by continuous outbreaks and I had to rest. So, brothers, sorry, Rong Qiannian rested for two or three days, and updated 3 days a day for these two or three days (to be continued...)
Chapter completed!
