Chapter 196: To Spain? (Today's 10,000-word update, that, first ask the big guys for a monthly pass, okay?) )

But no matter what, with the arrival of such a future big man, Zhang Lan must see the demeanor of this pivotal figure in the future Chinese motorcycle field, and see what extraordinary insights Yin Mingshan has on the Chinese market.

Although he was very puzzled by his son's request to meet the half-hundred-year-old man named Yin Mingshan, Zhang Zongjun still didn't want to agree, didn't he just meet him, and I heard Captain Wang say that it seems that the old man is very good? It's okay to just be bored and chat with a guy who is interested in you, it's not a big deal.

The meeting with Yin Mingshan is still held in the company's small living room, which is almost a customary practice, and almost every time Zhang Zongjun personally receives a visitor, it is in this small living room. Outsiders don't know, but the company's reception staff knows that every time the boss receives people in this small living room, many of them are local prominent figures, and this thin-looking half-hundred-year-old man is also a celebrity? The beautiful little girl in charge of the reception stuck out her tongue, she couldn't believe it, and quietly closed the door and went out.

Zhang Zongjun looked at the guy that his son strongly recommended that he must meet, and his hair was meticulously combed neatly, making the whole person look very energetic. Although he is a half-hundred old man, he is in good spirits, his expression is very calm, his eyes are bright, his eyes are very sharp, his forehead is slightly wrinkled, and his expression is very firm. Such a gaze and firm personality are not common to appear in people of this age, generally people of this age, the character of the body has already been polished by the years and is very sleek, but the half-hundred-year-old man in front of him is still as firm as a stubborn stone.

At the same time that Zhang Zongjun was looking at Yin Mingshan, Yin Mingshan was also looking at the entrepreneur in front of him, who was rumored to be a god in the domestic business world, as if he had a pair of wonderful hands that could turn stones into gold, and he was indeed a person who could make such great achievements, Yin Mingshan sighed secretly in his heart, just from the face of the person in front of him, he could see that this person was a person with a frank heart and great wisdom, and he was able to achieve such a degree of his company. Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame! It seems that I have come to the right place this time.

Zhang Lan was not interested in knowing what his father and Yin Mingshan talked about, but he only knew that Yin Mingshan was smiling when he left in the end, and seemed to be very satisfied with the result of this trip, but looked at his father. It seems that he is also very proud of the meeting between the two people, and he can't help but thank Zhang Lan, praise his son for his foresight, and many of his problems in the company's operation have been inspired by the conversation with Mr. Yin.

"Dad, you just said what you gained from talking to Yin Mingshan, right?" Zhang Lan listened for a long time. I still didn't hear my father talk about the results of this meeting between the two, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "And what did Yin Mingshan get from our company?" ”

Xiao Chenxi nodded frequently, obviously very interested in this question.

"Actually, I didn't talk about anything," Zhang Zongjun thought for a while, "The main thing is to talk about some of the life experiences over the years, because the talk is more speculative, so then I told him that if he really wants to develop in the motorcycle industry, if he is limited by funds." It is best not to come up first to engage in the whole vehicle, not only greatly increases the risk, but also now the state does not have a license for private enterprises to open up the production of motorcycles, which may be very troublesome at that time. Although Chongqing now has a lot of private motorcycle manufacturers who secretly produce without production licenses, it is best not to do that, one is too risky, and the other is to leave a very bad impression on the local government, once it leaves a bad impression on the government, it will be very unfavorable to the company's future development. If you can, start with the motorcycle engine first. It is better to set up a company engaged in the production and research of motorcycle engines in the name of the research institute, and then gradually develop into the production of complete vehicles after achieving some results. ”

Zhang Zongjun was talking endlessly, but Zhang Lan was dumbfounded: Didn't Yin Mingshan do this in history perfectly?! First of all, with a capital of 200,000 yuan, a company in the name of the research institute was established to develop and produce engines, and after achieving very significant results. Later, it gradually developed to vehicle manufacturing.

Could it be that someone in history has also said these things to Yin Mingshan? Zhang Lan began to wonder if history had played a little joke with herself, how could the trajectory of history magically coincide again here?

In October last year, Alice Motorcycle Company signed a cooperation agreement with the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Metals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences helped Alice Motorcycle Company develop an aluminum alloy material that can be used as an engine cylinder and cylinder head, with sufficient strength and high temperature resistance. At that time, Deng Chao, director of the Metal Research Institute, promised Alice Motorcycle Company that the materials that met the requirements would be produced within half a year.

Now that half a year has passed, Director Deng Chao really didn't say anything big. Just yesterday, Director Deng Chao called and told Alice Motorcycle Company that the aluminum alloy material that met the requirements of the original contract had been studied, and in order to reduce friction, the technology of inlaying a steel cylinder liner in the aluminum alloy cylinder mentioned by Zhang Lan had also been successfully solved, and the related production process had been solved; In addition, more advanced FRM technology is also in full swing and could be successful by the end of this year, if nothing else.

Since the relevant technology and materials have been developed, then the next step is naturally to carry out the actual engine trial production, and then the trial production of the engine for all aspects of detailed testing, if the trial production of the engine can meet the actual requirements, then the company's motorcycle material will enter a comprehensive upgrading, will be far ahead of the domestic motorcycle manufacturers in technology.

The trial production of the new engine is naturally impossible to carry out on the production line, not only is there no suitable supplier of aluminum alloy motorcycle parts, but even if there is a supplier with the ability to produce this kind of accessories, the company cannot directly hand over the technology that it has spent a lot of effort and money to develop so stupidly to them.

As early as the successful negotiation with the Institute of Metal Research, the company has registered a new type of motorcycle parts production company, the main task of the new parts production company is to specialize in the production of motorcycle engine aluminum alloy cylinders, cylinder heads and pistons, the whole set of production equipment imported from Italy has been installed and debugged last month, just waiting for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Metal to come to the pot.

Alice Motorcycle Design's laboratory has begun to take shape, and the design of the all-aluminum engine has been handed over to Alice Motorcycle Design while the research on aluminum alloy materials has been carried out, and now, the drawing design of the all-aluminum engine has been completed, and there is no problem at all in producing several engines for performance testing in the laboratory.

The task of producing several all-aluminum engines for testing was entrusted to the production department of the design company. In order to be insured, Zhang Lan also specially instructed the designers of the racing department to do this, and now it is a test, and there is no need to think too much about the cost. Cost considerations need to be made after the end of the test, after a thorough understanding of the performance of the product, after the rigorous test, according to the cost consideration, and then the appropriate modification of the engine design. In order to find a balance between performance and cost, it is only at this time that the design of an engine can be finalized, which is a long process.

The test of the engine is not a matter of one or two days, it needs to carry out a long series of comprehensive tests of stability, heat dissipation and aging resistance, etc., and the whole test process is completely completed, and there is no more than half a year to get it done. This is a small internal combustion engine such as a motorcycle engine, and if it is a large internal combustion engine used in a car, it may take several years to test.

Zhang Lan has little interest in this kind of boring and boring thing that repeats the same thing every day, and has always stayed away. Hide as far as you can. Every day, you have to do the same thing with the same machine: record all the operating data of the engine, and it makes people crazy to think about it.

In order to retaliate against these guys, Zhang Lan found them another job, and asked the company's Alice Engine Research Institute in Shenyang, which was established in cooperation with the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to develop a new type of aluminum alloy material again.

Aluminum-magnesium alloy has more outstanding advantages than aluminum alloy, first of all. Because the specific gravity of magnesium is extremely light, the weight of the aluminum-magnesium alloy produced is much lighter than that of aluminum alloy, and secondly, the strength of aluminum-magnesium alloy is slightly higher than that of the aluminum alloy material used in the all-aluminum engine. If a material is lighter in weight and strong enough. So why don't you do it?

Of course, there will definitely be disadvantages if there are advantages, and the disadvantages of aluminum-magnesium alloy are also obvious, the first disadvantage is that the oxidation resistance of aluminum-magnesium alloy is still worse than that of aluminum alloy, and the other disadvantage is that the cost of this thing is higher than the cost of aluminum alloy, so the use of aluminum-magnesium alloy is such a lighter weight and relatively higher efficiency engine. From the day it was born, it was destined not to be a motorcycle for the general public. It is more likely to be applied to the company's high-end motorcycle field and special-purpose vehicles.

The researchers of the engine research institute do not care, on the contrary, they wish that there is more such work, because Alice's company's 10 million commission money has been transferred to the account of the metal research institute, according to the provisions of the contract signed at the beginning, as long as there is no problem in the three-month test, another 4 million will be played, and when the entire engine testing process is completed, if everything meets the requirements, then the remaining 3 million will be called immediately.

Although the arrival is only three million, it is enough to make the leaders of the metal research institute excited, the difficulty of researching this material is much smaller than the task assigned by many countries, but the benefits are greater than everyone imagined, and the research funds of the entire institute are only a few dollars a year? So this time, under the new commission of Alice Motorcycle Company, the Metal Research Institute is even more energetic, ready to make a lot of money from him.

Just when Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi were bored, Alice invited the two guys to Spain to watch her company's team race in Catalonia, Spain on April 23.

Alice, this girl is also idle and boring, and more importantly, she hasn't seen Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi for so long, and she really misses them in her heart.

Last year, the World Superbike Championship was held at the famous Jerez circuit, but this year it has been held at the Circuit de Catalonia. Circuit de Catalunya is not one of the best international A-class circuits in Spain, but it is one of the few tracks that can combine straights and corners with near-perfect results, especially the real 2nd and 3rd gears before the straight and the 3rd gear after the straight, which is the key to running a good result.

The Circuit de Catalunya is one of the most difficult and demanding of almost any A-class race in the world, with almost any challenge in modern modern racing, with three halfpipes and a few fast corners, as well as a corner before the sprint straight, making this corner famous for being difficult and suspenseful.

One thing Zhang Lan also knows is that the Catalan circuit has made Michael. Schumacher, this guy has won five times on this circuit, and what is even more perverted is that this guy has won three races at Circuit de Catalunya on this track, so it can be said that this guy has become the master of the Catalan circuit in Spain.

Three boring guys met together, and naturally found what they wanted, Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi didn't say a word, and directly asked Alice to help them go through the formalities, what kind of performance their team can have in replacing the new braking system, Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi are also full of expectations, as for going to Spain to delay the school course? Sweat, Zhang Lan really didn't take this seriously, it's uncomfortable enough to go to school and endure a group of little kids every day, can't you give yourself a vacation? Do you want me to suffer there every day?
