Chapter 192: Better Conditions (4000 Words)

Cheng Xingming's reason is very strong, but he will never tell Chen Geng, in fact, this reason is made up by them, Jialing Factory did not actually have a plan to engage in miniature cars at the beginning, but in the interval of the meeting, when everyone chatted casually, Cheng Xingming said that he and Director Sun went to Yugoslavia to inspect what they saw, and sighed that they were also socialist countries, and Yugoslavia could be regarded as truly entering socialism...... Every family in Yugoslavia has a car, although the car is indeed a little smaller, but it also has a private car, right?

This emotion naturally aroused everyone's interest, and everyone can see clearly how the situation in China is, even if it is a military enterprise like the Jialing Factory, the huge factory only has a few 212 jeeps and Yangtze River 750 side three-wheeled motorcycles, as for the car, there is not one.

Everyone thought that the socialist country was like this, but suddenly heard that Yugoslavia, which is also a socialist country, actually had a car, naturally they were very surprised, and at the same time they were very curious, and they asked Cheng Xingming, the chief engineer of Cheng Xingming, and the director of the factory, Sun Shoupeng, who "went abroad to see the market", about the situation of the family car in Yugoslavia.

It was also at this time that an engineer attending the meeting suddenly opened his mind: "Lao Cheng, if I remember correctly, Mr. Chen Geng's company designed a sports car with an inline six-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine, and I heard that it also won a trophy in the United States, right?"

"Well, that's the thing. Cheng Xingming nodded.

"That means Mr. Chen Geng can design and build a car, right?"

"Of course!" Cheng Xingming continued to nod: "I heard that a car they designed with the world's automobile giant Chrysler is now very popular in the United States. ”

"Then where are we going to introduce the 350CC engine from Chen Geng, I heard that the inline six-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine engine was cut by one-third, isn't it?"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Cheng Xingming was a little impatient.

"I mean, since Mr. Chen Geng is so powerful, not only can he design engines, but also design cars, and the 350CC engine that our Jialing factory is going to introduce is actually one-third of the inline six-cylinder air-cooled engine, then let's ask Mr. Chen Geng to use this engine to build a small car, there must be no big problem from a technical point of view, right?" The engineer didn't sell off, and directly said his reason: "It's also a car, how can you say that it's better than a motorcycle Niu X?" Even if you earn foreign exchange through exports, can you sell it for more money than a motorcycle?"

Although this is a brain-opening idea, it suddenly detonated the senior management of the Jialing factory who was in a meeting, even Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng were no exception, and everyone began to count the feasibility of this matter with their fingers:

The most important thing for a car is the engine, gearbox and chassis, the three major parts, and now the engine and gearbox have been (although they are integrated together), which means that the Jialing factory has mastered two-thirds of the core. As for the chassis, since Chen Geng was able to design a car as big as the Chrysler "family", would it be difficult to design the chassis of a miniature car that was more than three meters long? In other words, the Jialing plant actually basically has the core elements for producing a car;

The three major parts are available, and the rest are tires, chassis systems, steering systems, brake systems, and lighting and instrument systems......

The leaders counted with their fingers, although these things Jialing factory itself can not produce, but it seems that they can find parts factories in China, as for the car shell, as long as the car shell designed by Chen Geng is not too complicated, the domestic mold production enterprises are not found, that is to say, theoretically speaking, at least the Jialing factory has all the conditions for the production of a mini car.

Suddenly discovered this fact, the leaders of Jialing Factory were instantly excited!

Although the current Jialing factory is still a military industrial enterprise in transformation, and it is already something they dare not imagine to be able to produce high-tech motorcycles, if some of the core components of this motorcycle can be used with cars, why not produce more awesome cars?

The Jialing factory also knows that if the formal procedures are followed, the higher-level leaders and the competent authorities will not agree to the Jialing factory's request for the launch of mini cars, but if the Jialing factory comes to cut the first and then play, and the mini cars produced by the company can be exported to earn foreign exchange, can the above still stop this project from failing?

In the end, the result of the secret discussion was that this time I came to the capital to negotiate with Mr. Chen Geng, and the cooperation of motorcycles is of course one of the main projects, but as long as we seize the opportunity, we must talk about the cooperation of mini-cars.

…………

Chen Gengke didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, and after the initial surprise, he was relieved: Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng saw the Fiat 126P in Yugoslavia, and after knowing the power configuration of the Fiat 126P, they found that the maximum power of the 350CC engine they were going to introduce from themselves was actually more powerful than the 594CC engine on the old Fiat 500 mounted on the current Fiat 126P, and it was understandable that they had some ideas. Completely normal, after all, the B grid of a car is inherently taller than a motorcycle.

However, Chen Geng had to pour cold water on the heads of the two: "Although our 350cc motorcycle engine has a greater output than the 594cc engine on the Fiat 126P, to be honest, the durability of this 350cc engine is not as good as the 594CC engine." ”

Are motorcycles less durable than car engines?

Of course.

Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming are really people who are coming up step by step from the grassroots, how can they not know the difference between gasoline engines for motorcycles and gasoline engines for automobiles?

The simplest point is that the requirements for the intensity of use are completely different between the two. Even if it is based on the current technical standards of Western countries, the automobile engine is at least designed in accordance with the life of more than 1 million kilometers, in actual use, if an engine is maintained and replaced in strict accordance with the maintenance procedures given by the manufacturer, and the use intensity is medium, it is normal for an engine to use a mileage of more than 2 million kilometers, even if it is Huaxia, the requirements for automobile engines are "service life of 100,000 kilometers, and the overhaul period shall not be less than 20,000 kilometers".

However, the use requirements of motorcycle engines are completely different from those of automobile gasoline engines, as a small, highly integrated lightweight, high-speed engine, the motorcycle engine itself is to sacrifice the life of the engine in exchange for performance performance, and the requirements for miniaturization have exacerbated this sacrifice: according to the current international standards, the usual design life of a motorcycle engine is only 100,000 kilometers - Otherwise, why is the maximum output and maximum output torque of a twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 350cc greater than that of a 594cc twin-cylinder gasoline engine?

But knowing that since they have decided to try their best to fight for this project, how could Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng give up so easily?

Sun Shoupeng said: "We all know this, but Mr. Chen, isn't the design life of your 350CC motorcycle engine 100,000 kilometers?"

"That's right. ”

"That's enough. ”

"100,000 kilometers of life is enough?!" Chen Geng's eyes were about to pop out.

"It's definitely enough," Sun Shoupeng said: "The design life of the engine of the SH760 sedan is only 100,000 kilometers, and the design life of the engine of the 212 Jeep is even lower, only 80,000 kilometers. ”

Having said that, Chen Gengna still doesn't understand that Sun Shoupeng and Jialing Factory are prepared?

Although this came in a bit hasty, it was not expected by me at all, but it would be too much to underestimate Chen Geng to expect such a trivial matter to make Chen Geng busy: buddy is used to such things as three ups and downs, what else is there that buddy can't accept?

After a little hesitation, Chen Geng asked directly: "Let's not talk about these first, as far as I know, if Zaihuaxia wants to engage in automobile production, it needs to be approved, right?

The implication is that if you can't even get the approval thing done, there is no need for us to continue this topic.

Sun Shoupeng and Cheng Xingming really came prepared.

Hearing Chen Geng's words, the two of them were suddenly overjoyed, and Cheng Xingming hurriedly asked: "Do you think this car can be exported to earn foreign exchange? As long as it can be exported, our Jialing factory guarantees that it can pass the examination and approval and get the qualification." ”

Well?

Chen Gengke didn't know that these two honest and honest men in the mountain city were fooling themselves, and when he heard this, he was a little shocked for a while: Could it be that the country's plan to launch the "three big and three small" six automobile manufacturing bases has been advanced?

No way?

Could it be......

Chen Geng raised his head abruptly and stared at the two: "So...... Your plan is to start the project first to create a fait accompli, and then use this project to export foreign exchange and force the higher-level authorities and leaders to pass your project?"

Sun Shoupeng is okay, although it is strange how Chen Geng is so familiar with the operation mode of this kind of thing in China, but after all, he can still hold back the shock in his heart, Cheng Xingming is not good, he is not good at hiding his emotions, and looked at Chen Geng with a shocked face: "Mr. Chen, you ...... How do you know?"

Sure enough, that's the case.

Chen Geng sighed: "It doesn't matter how I know, it doesn't matter if I guess it, what I want to say is that Chief Engineer Cheng and Director Sun are a little unkind, you don't care, and you may even be commended as a typical case, but haven't you ever thought that once this project is really operated like this, how will the senior leaders of Huaxia treat me? Will you think that I am behind my back and making suggestions?"

As soon as Chen Geng's words came out, Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng were a little embarrassed on their faces.

The embarrassment is because what Chen Geng said is right, if this matter is really operated like this, Jialing Factory will certainly make a lot of money, but Chen Geng may leave an impression of exploiting loopholes and speculation at the top nine times out of ten, which is equivalent to Chen Geng and Jialing Factory going to steal chickens together, and as a result, Jialing Factory eats meat and eats a mouth full of oil, but Chen Geng, not only did he not eat the unlucky meat, but he also fell into a commotion.

Of course Chen Geng didn't do it!

If it's me, I won't do it myself!

Why, when I contributed, not only did I not lose my strength, but I even contributed more than you, and when it came time to eat meat, I didn't have my share? Could it be that I was born with an angry face? Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng knew very well that this matter fell on them, and they didn't do it themselves.

But in the plan of the Jialing factory, this miniature car project is of great significance to the Jialing factory, far more significant than the motorcycle project, and it is unceremonious to say that once the project can be successfully launched, the status of the Jialing factory in the system is jumping up.

The most important thing is that Chen Geng's refusal is also intriguing, he did not say that he couldn't do it, but was very dissatisfied with the consequences caused by this, which is interesting.

The two hurriedly explained at the same time: "Mr. Chen, we didn't mean that......"

"It doesn't matter what you mean, the important thing is that this incident has had a serious impact on me," Chen Geng seemed to be very unhappy, and directly waved his hand: "You two, I'm a little uncomfortable, let's get here first today?"

Chen Gengdu used his physical discomfort as an excuse to provoke people, what else could Cheng Xingming and Sun Shoupeng do?

Coming out of Chen Geng, Sun Shoupeng frowned: "Old Cheng, I always feel that we seem to have forgotten something. ”

"Really?" Cheng Xingming also frowned and thought for a moment when he heard this: "It seems to be really ......"

But what is going on?

The two looked at each other and slapped their thighs at the same time......

"it!"

"The leader of the ministry asked us to inquire about it!"

Thinking that the things that the ministry repeatedly told them to figure out were forgotten by themselves, the two of them suddenly felt a little annoyed.

........................

At the same time, Mirren was also curiously asking Chen Geng: "Boss, I think this miniature car project is good, you really don't plan to do it?"

Chen Geng, who showed no signs of discomfort at all, asked rhetorically: "Who said I wasn't ready to do it?"

"Huh?" Mirren was stunned for a moment: "You obviously refused just now......"

"I refused because I needed the Jialing factory to give us better cooperation conditions," Chen Geng said with a smile, in a good mood: "If you want to cooperate with us in the car? ”

An entry-level, lowest-tech family miniature car, for Chen Geng, this thing is not a matter at all, all the technology is ready-made, but since he underestimated the ambition of the Jialing factory, how can he make good use of it?

Mirren looked at his boss with an ignorant expression, always feeling that his boss's words were so mysterious, but why was such a boss so handsome?
