Chapter 114 Another Order

Until the third day of the Yanjing International Auto Show, the enthusiasm about the EA888 engine has not dissipated, and this time the article, from the initial media report, has now become a variety of professional evaluations.

"The performance measurement of EA888", "Is EA888 really worthy of the title of magic machine?", "Take you into the world of internal structure of EA888"...

There are really a lot of evaluation articles like this on the Internet. Some articles are indeed very professional, but some articles are purely for hype.

Chinese people's pursuit of the EA888 engine is very similar to the "Nobel Prize complex" in the previous life. The more you don't have it, the less it can compare to the western field. Once a breakthrough achievement is achieved, the country will naturally publicize it.

Zhou Fei still remembers that the year when Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, all the major media in China were all about this matter and Mo Yan's reports, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

The birth of the EA888 engine this time has filled a gap in China's automobile industry. Although its achievements are not comparable to Mo Yan's Nobel Prize, in terms of its significance, it is also comparable to the Nobel Prize.

During the time I came back, several media pairs had come to the factory and interviewed Zhou Fei, and the county TV station even reported the incident for three consecutive days.

To be honest, Zhou Fei has never been very interested in news interviews, but the media environment of the company is also very important. Feichi needs such exposure now, so even though he is not happy, all the interviews these days, Zhou Fei agreed to everything.

And this afternoon, Zhou Fei had to prepare for an interview with CCTV.However, the interview this time is not mainly aimed at Zhou Fei himself, but CCTV. If he wants to go deep into the workshop for some screen shooting, Zhou Fei needs to be accompanied all the way.

Zhou Fei would naturally not refuse Feichi Company to appear on CCTV. This is already equivalent to a soft advertisement. Zhou Fei wished to come to such an opportunity a few more times.

For this interview, there were a total of two people from CCTV, a reporter and a photographer.After having dinner with the two of them at noon, and taking a short rest, Zhou Fei took them to the factory.

From entering the gate of the development zone, the photographer has turned on the camera and photographed the gate of the factory all the way.

In order to cooperate with this shooting, Zhou Fei has ordered the three major workshops in the factory area in advance, and all employees are wearing labor protection equipment to operate on the production line.

From the injector workshop to the end of the engine assembly workshop, the photographer recorded the whole process of an EA888 engine rolling off the production line from multiple angles. Of course, the photographer did not conduct any key processes Shooting, even if Zhou Fei didn't say it, they would all understand it.

It took more than an hour for this shoot to be considered complete.

"Counting the post-production, today's shooting content is expected to be broadcast on our news channel in three days later, that is, on Saturday. Thank you Mr. Zhou for your cooperation this time."

After the shooting, the reporter said to Zhou Fei with a smile.

"It's our honor to be on CCTV, and it's been a hard work for you two. These are some special products we prepared for you. I hope you don't dislike them." Zhou Fei handed over the two gift boxes that he had prepared a long time ago. past.

Fengge and Doudan, these two are the most famous specialties in my hometown.

The two of them were also not polite. It is not uncommon to give gifts after the interview like this. After thanking them, they accepted them calmly.

Three days later, Zhou Fei saw the news on CCTV's news channel. This time, CCTV used the word "artisan spirit" to describe the whole production process of the EA888 engine, and highly praised Feichi. praise.

After the news was broadcast this time, more people became aware of such a young company as Mercedes-Benz, and it also made the EA888 engine more famous. , EA888 engine is also entering the vision of more automakers.

Shencheng.

As the three major state-owned automakers alongside Chunqi and Dongfeng, although Shenqi was established earlier than Chunqi, its counterattack road is enough to write a book. Backed by an international giant like Shencheng In urban areas, Shenqi quickly grew from a small local car company to the largest car company in China today.

Of course, the history of Shenqi's fortune is still based on the dividends of joint venture cars. On the road of research on domestically produced cars, Shenqi is not even as good as Chunqi.

As the big brother of domestic car companies, the appearance of Chunqi Feiteng Motors greatly stimulated the leadership of Shenqi, making Shenqi have to speed up the research and development of its own brand vehicles.

Of course, the most important thing is the choice of engine.

Different from Chunqi, when Shenqi decided to develop a new car, it had already decided to use the existing engine instead of relying on its own research and development, because this would greatly prolong the development cycle of the vehicle.

Therefore, since December last year, Shenqi has been in communication with Dafeng and Benma, and the negotiations with Dafeng are currently the smoothest. There is a high probability that Dafeng's CTM engine will be used.

But just when the two companies were close to reaching an agreement, a Yanjing Auto Show exploded Zhou Fei and the EA888 engine designed by him!
To be honest, after seeing the report about this engine, Shenqi was moved.

The EA888 is superior to the CTM engine in terms of price and performance, so Shenqi decided to hold a meeting to discuss whether to use the Mercedes-Benz EA888 or Dafeng's CTM.

The meeting was presided over by Zhang Xingchen, the general manager of Shenqi, and the people in charge of the product engineering department, project department, procurement and finance departments participated in the meeting.

"The theme of the meeting is already obvious. The domestically produced EA888 engine and Dafeng's CTM engine, which one should we choose as the engine for our new car Rongjue?" Zhang Xingchen looked at everyone and asked.

"No matter from which point of view, EA888 is our first choice, but if we choose this engine, we will also face two problems. The first is that we have almost reached an agreement with Dafeng, so we have to give up this negotiation rashly. It will definitely cause dissatisfaction from Dafeng, and the other thing is, are we sure we want to use the same engine as Chunqi's Feiteng?"

The person in charge of the project department spoke first.

"I don't think these two items are the reason for us to give up using EA888. Since we haven't signed a contract with Dafeng, which engine we choose to use is our freedom. If you can’t accept it, then don’t talk about cooperation in the future, as for the collision with Chunqi, do you expect us to rely on CTM to defeat the opponent’s EA888?”

"At present, Mercedes-Benz's EA888 is the only EFI engine in the world, and other companies are still in the research and development stage. If we want our Rongjue to be competitive, EA888 is our only choice."

"From the perspective of financial budget, EA888 is also our best choice."

Immediately afterwards, the heads of several other departments expressed their opinions one after another. Except for the project department, they all agreed to use the EA888 engine!
However, the final decision is still in the hands of Zhang Xingchen.

"Then choose the EA888 engine. The project department will come up with a plan as soon as possible, and prepare to negotiate with Mercedes-Benz in the next two days." After some thinking, Zhang Xingchen made such a decision.

　Let me tell you something, this book will be officially on the shelves tomorrow at twelve o'clock tonight.

　　I won't write any testimonials specifically, just say a few words here.

　　Thank you for your support along the way, and thank you editor Fei Ge for giving me the opportunity to put it on the shelves this time.

　　Anyway, I just want to get a full attendance for this book, so if you are willing to subscribe and support it, I am very grateful, and if you are not willing to spend money, I understand.

　　In fact, if it weren't for preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, I would have given up on this book.

　　If it weren't for a few friends who have been voting for it, I would have given up a long time ago. After thinking about it, I felt that I was a eunuch. I am sorry for these friends, so I have persisted until now.

　　Anyway, thank you very much.

　　That's all for now, I wish you all the best, hahaha.
