All round car designer

Chapter 95
After two rounds of negotiations, Chunqi and Dafeng Motor finally failed to reach an agreement on the introduction of the CTM engine, and Chunqi voluntarily gave up and declared a breakdown.

Zhu Zhijun had no choice but to put the engine project of Feiteng Motors on the engine development project team led by Liu Neng, hoping to complete the development of his own engine within three years.

Although Chunqi has terminated the negotiations, Dafeng Motor has no worries at all. Dafeng headquarters even told Jonathan that it will not be long before Chunqi will find that it is fundamental to rely on its own strength to develop engines. Impossible to accomplish, so I will finally turn to Dafeng Automobile for help.

All they have to do is wait.Having cooperated with Chunqi for so many years, Dafeng Motor knows the level of Chunqi's research and development capabilities best.

A week later, Zhou Fei appeared in Zhu Zhijun's office again.

"Xiao Zhou, if you still come here for what happened last time, then follow my method and sell the EFI technology to Chunqi, at most a discount on the price, which happens to be under development by us. My own engine, just in time."

Zhu Zhijun looked at Zhou Fei and said.

"What does Mr. Zhu mean is that you and Dafeng Automobile haven't negotiated an engine import project?" Zhou Fei was overjoyed and asked hastily.

He came to Zhu Zhijun today mainly for this matter, and was worried about how to inquire about the progress of the negotiation, but Zhu Zhijun himself said it first.

"How did you know we were talking to Dafeng about this project?"

"Oh...that's how it is. I just passed by your meeting room that day and heard you discussing this matter." Zhou Fei quickly explained.

"That's right." Zhu Zhijun nodded, "Since you heard it, I won't hide it from you. Our negotiation with Dafeng has broken down. Now Chunqi is going to focus on developing its own engine."

"So what's the progress of your engine development project so far?"

"It would be great if there is progress. We have spent three years on the engine project, but due to our lack of core technology, we have not yet determined a specific technical plan. Although Lao Liu promised to be able to Finish the development work, but I also know that this project is not that easy to complete."

Zhu Zhijun sighed and said with a sad face.

Ever since the negotiation with Dafeng Motor broke down, Zhu Zhijun hadn't had a good night's sleep. He would usually wake up in the middle of the night and smoke a cigarette alone.

"Forget it, why tell you these things..." Zhu Zhijun smiled, "What do you think of the suggestion I just mentioned? Selling the EFI technology to Chunqi is considered a repayment for me."

"Old Zhu, I want to ask one last question."

"Tell me, what's the problem."

"The engine you are going to develop, what is the specific structural form, and how many cylinders are expected?"

This point is very important to Zhou Fei, because there are too many structural forms of engines, including in-line, V-type, and W-type, four-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, and ten-cylinder, since he accepts The next entrepreneurial project will target Chunqi’s Feiteng automobile, so it should choose a suitable engine for design and production according to their needs.

"Inline four-cylinder. When the Feiteng Motors project was first approved, we designed it in the form of an inline four-cylinder engine."

Although I don't know why Zhou Fei asked this, but it's not a secret, so Zhu Zhijun told the truth.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although the inline four-cylinder is the most basic engine structure, it is not so easy to develop an engine with performance comparable to Dafeng CTM and Futong RX. If you want to revitalize Huaxia's automobile industry It is impossible for the industry to rely on us, so your generation must fight hard and stop letting foreign automakers ride on our necks."

Zhu Zhijun suddenly laughed at himself, with a bit of sadness in his tone.As the second generation of autobots in China, they still failed to complete the tasks assigned by their predecessors in the end, and instead caused chaos in the domestic auto market.

Although the Chinese automobile industry in the 80s was not developed, at least the national automobiles were booming. At that time, the autobots had technology and fighting spirit. On the contrary, they entered the 90s. After the introduction of joint venture cars, those familiar nationalities Brands are dying out at an accelerated rate. Up to now, the country has completely become a stage for carnivals of joint venture cars.

Zhu Zhijun has to admit that the joint venture car has contributed a lot to Huaxia's ability to become the world's largest auto market, and the joint venture car has indeed made its own historical contribution.

But as Liu Neng said, the times have changed now, and joint venture cars are already the biggest obstacle hindering the development of Huaxia Automobile, and it is indeed time to break and stand.

Zhu Zhijun hopes that Zhou Fei's generation of Autobots can do what he has not done.

"Mr. Zhu, don't worry, our Huaxia cars will definitely get better and better." Zhou Fei comforted with a smile.

"I hope so." Zhu Zhijun smiled relievedly, "Tell me, how much do you want to sell us Chunqi for the patent right of EFI technology?"

However, Zhou Fei shook his head, "I don't plan to sell this technology to Chunqi anymore, I'm going to give another big gift to Mr. Zhu, a big gift even bigger than EFI technology."

"Xiao Zhou, don't be a fool, but I have to declare in advance that if this gift of yours is not what we want, then I will not accept it." Zhu Zhijun suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

"I guarantee that Mr. Zhu will like it." Zhou Fei smiled, and then continued, "Isn't Chunqi developing a new engine? If so, I can be your engine supplier."

Hearing these words, Zhu Zhijun's first reaction was to think that Zhou Fei was joking, but thinking of what Zhou Fei had done before, Zhu Zhijun felt that he didn't seem to be joking.

Although Zhou Fei has such high-quality products as QQ, the design of the engine is different from that of the whole vehicle. After encountering Waterloo, he was helpless and unable to move an inch for three years.

Taking a step back, even if Zhou Fei really designed an engine independently, it is unknown whether this engine can be mass-produced and what its specific performance will be after mass production. It is not like drawing an engine on the computer model, that is, the development of the engine has been completed, otherwise it would be too childish.

In the automotive industry, the final focus is on mass production, not competition.

"Xiao Zhou, this is not a trivial matter. I believe you are very capable, but you must know that the engine is the most critical assembly of a car. It is useless to rely on talking and drawing. I cannot Let me assume that what you say is true."

Zhu Zhijun stared at Zhou Fei and said seriously.

"Well, tomorrow afternoon, I will bring all the drawings and design instructions of this engine. Mr. Zhu can let your experts review it. If you think the technical solution is feasible, I will arrange the trial production and testing of the engine later. Work, do you think it's okay?"

Zhou Fei smiled, with his usual confidence in his tone.
