Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"It charges slowly, doesn't go far, and the power system loses control all the time. I really can't think of any advantages of this car."

Cao Tianwei held a cigarette in one hand and put his other hand on his waist, and gave a very low evaluation of the red tram in front of him.

“Just because the car is not built well doesn’t mean it is bad. As long as the problems are solved, I think the future of trams will be very bright!

When cars were first invented in the last century, didn’t they also not be able to run far or fast?

And don’t forget, the earliest cars were powered by electricity.”

Faced with Cao Tianwei's harsh comments, Ye Wengui naturally did not want to be outdone, and immediately stood up to defend his hard work.

"Okay, shut up!"

Fang Xiang's head was already buzzing from the noise.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Cao Tianwei and Ye Wengui immediately turned their heads away.

It can be seen that this kind of situation where no one is willing to give in to the other has occurred more than once.

"Lao Cao, let me talk to Comrade Ye alone."

Fang Xiang glanced at the two people who were busy with their work and waved to Cao Tianwei.

Cao Tianwei didn't waste any words, just turned around and left the workshop.

“I know this car is a bit primitive.

Many places are not perfect. The reason for building it like this is actually to find some investment.

But I can guarantee that the future of electric cars will be much better than that of gasoline cars!"

Ye Wengui looked at the workshop and saw that he and Fang Xiang were the only ones left.

He was naturally aware that the person standing in front of him was the big boss who laid the foundation of China's automobile industry. He felt that he was inferior to him and felt insecure.

Although the meaning of the words was still very stubborn, the tone of his voice no longer had the confidence he had just had.

"How long and how much money will it take you to be comparable to that car?"

Fang Xiang shook his head. In fact, he knew that what Ye Wengui said was true.

But who can afford to wait this long?

He knew very well the time period when trams would be put into use in the future. To advance it by 30 years would be as difficult as climbing to the sky!

However, if we abandon the later style of big sofas, big TVs, and big refrigerators, and just make a hybrid or extended-range car, it is actually quite easy to do.

But he has to convince Ye Wengui.

"this..."

Ye Wengui was stumped by the question.

For no other reason, because in addition to the tram he brought over and built himself, there was also an M5 in the workshop.

Yes, Cao Tianwei thinks that since you have created a sports car shape, it is not excessive for me to treat you with the standards of a sports car, right?

Of course, BMW doesn't have a sports car, so he brought over the M5, BMW's most powerful car.

When Ye Wengui first came to the factory, he was so greedy that he drove not only the M5, but also the M3, the 7 Series, and even the entire BMW series.

Therefore, the electric cars he built are not comparable at all to the models that currently represent the world's top models.

This is also the reason why he feels so powerless when facing this two-door convertible version of the M5.

Moreover, the person standing in front of him was none other than BMW’s designer, Fang Xiang.

He had no doubt that if he told a lie, others might not be able to see it, but Fang Xiang would definitely be able to see it.

"Yes, I have no doubt about what you said.

Electric cars will definitely be much better than gasoline cars in the future.

The natural acceleration and energy consumption ratio, and even because of the heavier chassis, the handling is better than that of a gasoline car from the beginning.

But this car was built by you, so you should know how big the gap is between the two.

Not to mention giving you 20 million in research funding, I already have 200 million.

If I give it to you, how long will it take you to build a car that you can sell?"

Fang Xiang turned around, pulled over two chairs for workers to rest, and placed them in front of the two of them.

After motioning Ye Wengui to sit down, he slowly spoke.

"I..."

Ye Wengui raised his head and glanced at Fang Xiang, as if he wanted to say something, but immediately lowered his head again.

Because he himself actually had no idea.

"Have you ever thought about changing direction?"

Fang Xiang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Ye Wengui.

"Change the direction?"

After Ye Wengui took the cigarette, he raised his head again, his eyes a little confused.

"Ok.

I also saw the pure electric car you built.

It’s a good idea, but it’s somewhat out of touch with reality.

The current level of science and technology is not enough to support the perfect products you and I envision.

So why don’t we try hybrid?”

Fang Xiang himself is a technician, so he knows very well that many people in the technical field devote most of their energy and brainpower to technology and ignore communication between people.

This leads to many people working in technology becoming more or less paranoid.

But if you give them enough respect and understanding, they are actually very willing to listen to you.

"Mixed?"

For example, now, Ye Wengui's thoughts were immediately led by Fang Xiang.

“Well, it’s like this…”

Fang Xiang walked to the front of the two cars, opened the hoods of both cars, and explained the concept of hybrid.

"Is this possible?"

Ye Wengui's words seemed to be asking Fang Xiang, but in fact he was also asking himself.

He is also a technical person, so he can naturally understand what Fang wants to express. In fact, he has already confirmed this idea in his heart.

But he was still a little unwilling.

Yes, I went through untold hardships, begging everyone for help and borrowing debts that I dared not even think about, before I built a tram.

But now I am told that this is just a dream and it cannot be realized.

This shows how much torment he was in.

What a huge blow this is.

"Okay, we should give it a try, right?

Before you built the tram, I'm sure there were many people who thought you would never succeed, right?

And you not only created it, but also came here.

It means that your idea is right, but it is just inappropriate at the right time.

Since we cannot realize our vision for the time being, we might as well be down-to-earth and start with the simple things.

right? "

Fang Xiang chuckled. He knew exactly what Ye Wengui was thinking at this moment.

Although the tram project has not been successfully completed yet, there is no doubt that Ye Wengui is a capable man.

Now that I've caught him, I definitely can't let him go, right?

"Then, shall I give it a try?"

Under Fang Xiang's guidance, Ye Wengui finally began to face reality.

Although Fang Xiang just shattered his dream, he also gave him an unprecedented path.

Moreover, the implication of his words just now clearly showed that he would not chase me away.

That’s right, why did he confront Cao Tianwei?

Isn't it because you are afraid that your hard work will be wasted, the project will be cancelled, and how will you repay the huge debt you are carrying?

The dream is gone, but life has to go on, right? !

“Try it.

I think there is no one more suitable than you for this matter.

First verify the feasibility, then slowly accumulate experience, and when the time is right, build a car and sell it.”

Fang Xiang nodded.

Seeing Ye Wengui coming up, he smiled again.

I have a lot of things to do, so it would be great if someone was willing to share the burden.

Although we are starting from scratch, with people who are familiar with the project and have ideals to do it, it is just a matter of spending a little more money.

Now Fang Xiang can be said to be wealthy and powerful. If he spends money, he can probably make a splash, right?

"Professor, leave it to me!

I promise to show you satisfactory results next year!"

Ye Wengui stood up, his eyes turned red instantly, and even his hands trembled uncontrollably.
