Chapter 92 Zhu Zhijun in Dilemma
The meeting continues.

It is still Zhu Zhijun who is speaking, "At present, we mainly have two plans. The first is to directly purchase the already formed engine from abroad and assemble it on our Feiteng. There are also two options for this plan. One is Continue to negotiate with our joint venture partner Dafeng Motor to purchase their CTM inline four-cylinder engine."

"The other is to choose to cooperate with Ford Motor in the United States to purchase their RX engine and assemble it on our Feiteng car. What do you think about this plan?"

After speaking, Zhu Zhijun looked at the people present at the meeting.

"If you buy the engine directly from the West, the biggest advantage is that it can greatly shorten the development cycle of Feiteng Automobile, and it will be launched in the second half of next year at the earliest, but the problem is that if we have been relying on foreign technology, let alone paying high fees , this also runs counter to our original intention of developing the Feiteng car, right?"

The first person to speak was a man sitting on Zhu Zhijun's left. He was Liu Neng, the chief technical officer of Chunqi Engine. Obviously, he did not approve of direct import from abroad.

"I don't quite agree with Liu Gong's words. If we don't import engines from abroad, we don't know when we will be able to develop engines based on our own research and development level. Isn't this equivalent to making the Feiteng project go bankrupt in disguise? "

"I don't agree with Liu Gong's opinion. In terms of spending money, the independent research and development funds may need more. Besides, we rely on joint ventures to grow slowly. What is the point of joint ventures? Technology! We..."

"The market has indeed been taken away by Dafeng Automobile, but as for the technology, have we really exchanged it?"

Before that person finished speaking, Liu Neng questioned like this.

"This... technology can be learned slowly. If we buy the CTM engine of Dafeng Motor, we can not only make Feiteng Motor go on the market earlier, but also slowly digest and absorb the technology of this engine. This is better than our own It’s much faster to pull the cart with your head down, and if you don’t take the shortcut, why do you have to start research and development from scratch?”

Liu Neng was not persuaded so quickly by the other party. After sighing, he continued to refute,
"Mr. Zhu, colleagues, I admit that the joint venture has indeed made a great contribution to the development of Chunqi, but the situation is different now. The market we let go is completely disproportionate to the technology we exchanged. , The technologies we have obtained are all eliminated by others..."

Zhu Zhijun, who was sitting in the middle, frowned more and more deeply. He naturally knew what Liu Neng said. As the chief engineer of Chunqi, he knew better than anyone present what Chunqi's research and development capabilities were. level.

Liu Neng is right. The technologies that Chunqi learned from Dafeng were all eliminated by others. Dafeng will not show the real core technology!
But what the other two people said is correct. If you want to rely on your own technology accumulation to develop a brand new engine, the price you pay is really too high. All in vain!

Therefore, even Zhu Zhijun himself is more inclined to choose the first set of solutions rather than independent research and development.

In the conference room, the two sides are still arguing with reason, and more and more people agree to direct purchase. Only Liu Neng insists on starting from scratch, and can no longer blindly rely on the introduction of technology...

After listening outside the door for about 10 minutes, Zhou Fei left here. Judging from the current situation, the meeting would not end in two hours, let alone one hour.

Regarding the matter of EFI technology, Zhou Fei can come back at another day, and now he suddenly has a very strong idea in his heart, and he wants to go back and think it over.

As for Chunqi's engine project, Zhou Fei agrees 100% with Liu Neng's statement. Those who support the direct introduction of engine technology from abroad and "exchanging the market for technology" one by one are either lazy or bad!
Zhou Fei could even pat his chest and say that "joint venture" is the biggest obstacle to the development and progress of Huaxia Automobile!
You only need to import a car from abroad, and you can make money lying down. Is there any state-owned automaker willing to develop its own brand without much effort?
***
The meeting has been going on for an hour and a half, but there is still no unified opinion. From the beginning to the end, only Liu Neng insisted on independent research and development.

With a snap, Liu Neng slammed the documents on the table, pointed at everyone and cursed, "If you do this, you will ruin the future of our Huaxia Automobile. You are our biggest Huaxia Automobile!" sinner!"

When Liu Neng said this, he was trembling with anger, and tears were coming out of his eyes. He didn't want to be the person who "everyone is drunk and I am alone", but as he said, if this continues, Huaxia's automobile industry will There is no future!
After saying this, Liu Neng didn't care what other people's reactions were, and slammed the door out. Since he couldn't wake up those pretending to be asleep, Liu Neng didn't want to continue entanglement with them.

"This Liu Gong, why are you so angry, Mr. Zhu is still here!"

"That is, he is the general manager of the engine. The company has given him three years, but he has not made any progress. Are we to blame?"

"I think this is typical incompetent rage."

…………

"That's enough, shut up!" Zhu Zhijun couldn't help but angrily scolded, "Today's meeting is here first, let's go back first."

Zhu Zhijun is also very distraught now, because Liu Neng's words really touched his sore spot, good advice hurts the ear, and good medicine tastes bitter, this sentence is absolutely true.

After sitting alone in the conference room for more than five minutes, Zhu Zhijun came to Liu Neng's office.

In the office, Liu Neng was smoking a stuffy cigarette, and the whole room was filled with smoke.

Zhu Zhijun opened the window, then sat in front of Liu Neng, and asked with a smile, "Are you still angry? You can negotiate things if you don't agree with each other about work. Why are you so angry? What about this smoke? Didn't the doctor tell you to smoke less..."

As he said that, Zhu Zhijun was about to take the remaining half of the cigarette from Liu Neng's mouth, but Liu Neng dodged it all at once.

"Old Zhu, tell me the truth, do you want to directly import existing engines from abroad like them?" Liu Neng asked in a muffled voice, exhaling a smoke ring.

Zhu Zhijun lowered his head, "To be honest, I do have such intentions..."

"They are pretending to be stupid and confused. Don't you know that this method is drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Liu Neng stood up abruptly, his mood calmed down a moment ago, and then he rose up again.
"Do you know what I heard in the workshop two days ago? Two foreigner technicians said that we in Huaxia are stupid people and rich in money! They said that we are their cash machine!"

"You can bear it, but I can't bear it! I don't believe it. We Huaxia can even produce an atomic bomb, but a decent car engine can't be produced?"
