"Lin, I've almost found you manpower, now you tell me, what are we going to do next?" Plum. While inviting Lin Hongfei to visit his office, Iacocca said to Lin Hongfei, "Come, come and visit my office and the office I have prepared for you, I believe you will be satisfied." ”

Plum. Iacocca Lin Hongfei did not hesitate at all, he had already thought about what this company was going to do. "The next step is to launch our own ESP system, start developing our own EFI system and microcomputer automatic transmission, and then work on other electronic systems. ”

"EFI system and microcomputer-controlled automatic transmission?" Plum. Ikeka was stunned for a moment, ESP is a thing that can be installed or not, as for the microcomputer-controlled automatic gearbox Lin Hongfei has said before, but the EFI system?

The United States, Japan and Europe, the world's three most important automobile production areas began as early as the 80s gasoline EFI system promotion work, the United States and more environmentally friendly Europe has even begun to enforce the EFI system on the car, although there are also carburetor models on sale in the world, but in the American market, unless it is an old car, it is basically all EFI cars.

The core component of the EFI car is the EFI system, now the world's largest two EFI systems are the United States Delphi and Germany Bosch, of which Delphi is basically a general "queen" manufacturer, the product is basically only supplied to the general use, the EFI system used by other manufacturers is basically produced by Bosch company, Bosch and Delphi The EFI system of the two companies basically occupies more than 95% of the total market share, but now, what Lin just said. He plans to develop his own EFI system? Is this an attempt to snatch meat from Bosch's mouth?

"Yes, EFI technology is definitely the mainstream of the development of automotive technology in the future, I know that the market is basically monopolized by Bosch and Delphi, it is difficult to enter this market, but it doesn't matter, this core technology must be in our own hands, Iacoca, I don't like to be controlled by others, I believe you won't like it."

"Of course I don't like it, but ......"

Plum. Iacocca opened her mouth. I don't know what to say: the microcomputer-controlled automatic transmission system is just that, and now it is only beginning to develop, and we still have time to catch up, but the engine EFI technology has been developed for so many years, and the technology and theory are relatively mature. Are the technical and patent barriers so avoidable?

But Lin Hongfei seems to be like Li. The roundworm in Iacoca's stomach is like a roundworm, even if Lee. What Iacocca didn't finish. He also already understood Lee. What exactly did Icocca mean by that? smiled nonchalantly, "By the way, I probably forgot to tell you something, I have been engaged in the pre-research of EFI systems before, and I have written a lot of code." ”

Plum. Iacocca was completely stunned, with his knowledge of Lin Hongfei. Since Lin Hongfei said that he has been doing pre-research work on EFI systems before, and has even written a lot of code, with this guy's usual modest style, it means that he has at least made a considerable breakthrough in engine EFI technology. If that's the case...... Plum. Iacoca's heart suddenly began to beat "bang bang ~~", and he suddenly found that if this was the case, then his company was not without opportunities.

But he was still a little uneasy, "That's what I said, but, Lin, you know, whether it's Delphi or Bosch, they must have applied for countless patents for their own technology, forming a solid patent barrier in front of us, how to break through this patent barrier......"

For these large international conglomerates that have long been accustomed to using heavy patent barriers to protect their interests, how can Lin Hongfei not know the way? But when he decided to develop the EFI system, Lin Hongfei already had an idea, "Iacoca, aren't you already planning to run for the Senate next year?" I think that's a good slogan. ”

"What slogan?" For Lin Hongfei's large-span approach, Li. Iacocca was a little dazed.

"Monopoly! Don't you notice, Delphi and Bosch have monopolized the market, if the two companies reach a tacit understanding, it will be extremely detrimental to the development and progress of engine EFI technology, as an ideal and ambitious Senate, you have the obligation and responsibility to take the initiative to stand up and denounce them...... I think that car manufacturers will also support you, after all, everyone wants more competitors in the market. ”

Plum. Iacoca's eyes lit up!

Lin Hongfei has already said it so clearly, if he still doesn't understand what Lin Hongfei means, he has really lived in vain for so many years, of course he knows that it is impossible to bring down behemoths like Delphi and Bosch with such campaign slogans, but break the monopoly, who doesn't like such campaign slogans? How many eyeballs can it attract? Compared with the campaign slogan put forward by Lin Hongfei, the campaign slogans he thought of before can be thrown into the trash.

It is true that Delphi and Bosch will certainly not give in because of their campaign slogan, but there is no doubt that as long as they run for the Senate, the slogan they shout will not only win them countless votes, but most importantly, they can put pressure on Delphi and Bosch in this way, and then they can use the technology mastered by Lin Hongfei to exchange technology and patents with Bosch and Delphi to avoid the entire patent barrier. And then make yourself one of the beneficiaries of this patent barrier...... It's amazing!

The only question now is, how many patents does Lin Hongfei have in terms of EFI technology?

"Don't worry," Lin Hongfei's smile was extremely confident, which also made Li. Iacocca was much more relieved, "As long as Delphi and Bosch want to develop in the future, he can't avoid these skills of mine, unless they cooperate with us, they can only let their skills stay at the current level forever." ”

I see! Li, who had doubts about Lin Hongfei's mastery of the technique. Iacocca immediately put his mind at ease, and his heart was a little more sure of his successful election to the Senate. Iacocca asked Lin Hongfei, "Lin, have you applied for a patent for those techniques?" I can help you if necessary...... Well, I know a few friends at the U.S. National Patent Office, and if you don't file, I can guarantee that your patent application must be the fastest. ”

"Iacoca, have you forgotten? I have always believed in the principle of inventing and developing something myself, and the first thing I need to do is to apply for a patent, otherwise God will not forgive the mistake. Lin Hongfei said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, if you can't apply for a patent in the first place, even God won't forgive this mistake!" Plum. Akoka laughed loudly, completely relieved.

In the United States, no one wants to offend a respectable Senator lightly unless there is really no way to do so, and the Senators are not only better "hidden" than Mr. President, who is in the spotlight and whose every move is observed under a magnifying glass...... Their right to question is such that no one will question a respected Senator unless it is your life or death.

Even Mr. President is reluctant to offend a respected Senator in a private matter, because it not only means that you have offended a large group of people, but also that you are in great trouble at all times...... To some extent, the senators and the Qingliu at the end of the Ming Dynasty have many similarities, the biggest of which is that they have the same love of money, and they bite whomever they want.

Chrysler Motors is one of the most extravagant and wasteful companies in the United States. As you can see from Iacoca's office, there are nearly 200 square meters of office space alone, not counting the three cubicles on the side: the lounge, the gym and a "small" living room of no less than 40 square meters, as well as a bathroom and a kitchen.

This area is already comparable to the area of villas in China that are known as single-family villas more than ten or twenty years later. Iacocca felt very dissatisfied, and shook his head vigorously and said that the house was small, "It's too small, but who made our current economy tight, let's use it first, and then change to a larger office when our conditions improve." ”

It's such a big office, it's still small? Lin Hongfei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, although the land in the United States is cheap, but it is not so cheap that it is worthless, in his previous life, he was also a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, but his office is only more than 100 square meters, and he is not extravagant enough to use a "small" office with a total of almost 300 square meters...... Chrysler Motors, who are such a loser, are really sorry for themselves if they don't almost go bankrupt.

"What about my office?" Since Lee. Iacocca has such a large office area, so it is not far from wanting to come to your own office, right?

Plum. Iacocca smiled mysteriously, "Lin, trust me, you'll be happy with your office." ”

"Really?"

Lin Hongfei vs. Li. Iacocca was a little skeptical, but when he saw the cluster of new servers in a certain room, he was completely stunned: this was actually a server room with constant temperature and humidity, and there was a state-of-the-art IBM minicomputer and two clusters of new blade servers in it!

Using a medium-sized computer and blade server for your own office is no longer a luxury and waste. (To be continued.) )
