"Xiao Yao, since the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences is providing technical support, relevant research must have begun. Is it convenient to go and take a look?" Vice Governor Zhang looked like he was waiting for time, and he was very anxious.

Yao Yuan was stunned, "Now?"

"Yes, is it convenient?" Vice Governor Zhang asked.

Yao Yuan subconsciously looked out the window, seeing everything was dark and sloppy. It was already outrageous to hold a symposium overnight, and now he had to visit the Academy of Sciences overnight.

"Governor Zhang, you held a symposium as soon as you arrived in Nangang today and haven't had a good rest yet. Do you think you can visit again tomorrow?" Zheng Kaijin persuaded in a low voice.

Vice Governor Zhang is over 50 years old, and he is from the same era as Yao Yuan's father. Among the provincial leaders, he is considered young at his age, and most of the leaders are very old.

Yao Yuan also persuaded, "Boss, please have a good rest tonight. I will accompany you around tomorrow to see the modern production workshop of Steering Machinery and the final assembly workshop of BMW."

"By the way, steering machinery and BMW cars are produced around the clock, right?" Vice Governor Zhang was in very good spirits and asked with interest.

Yao Yuan nodded, "Yes, eight-hour work system, three shifts, people don't take a break and the machine doesn't take a break."

"Let's go and see the Chunfeng Academy of Science first, then the steering machinery, and finally the BMW cars. I am a worker, and what I like most is the roar of factory machines." Vice Governor Zhang stood up and said.

He insisted on visiting, and everyone had no choice but to let him.

He Xueli quickly arranged a car. Vice Governor Zhang was determined to go with Yao Yuan. He would not take the city government car, nor would he sit with the city leaders.

Everyone knows that Vice Governor Zhang is giving a platform to Yao Yuan, showing the provincial government's full support for Yao Yuan. No matter what level of government, when dealing with Dongfeng Group and Southern Industries, the provincial government's attitude must be taken into consideration.

In this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire province has mobilized its efforts to support the construction of the Baojun base, and the province has done exactly this.

It would be a lie to say that they are not tired, but the generation of Vice Governor Zhang has worked hard for most of their lives in the revolution, and the economic development has just seen some light. Everyone has the thought of "Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day."

", I wish I could spend every minute on economic construction.

An automobile production base with a total investment of 5 billion can drive the development of upstream and downstream industries with a scale of 100 billion, and can activate the entire automobile production chain from beginning to end. The supporting factory alone can provide 50,000 jobs and drive surrounding areas

The industry can provide more than 100,000 jobs.

In this year when the wave of laid-off workers is coming due to the reform of state-owned enterprises, Yao Yuan's promise to prioritize the recruitment of laid-off workers can solve a huge problem for the provincial government.

Yao Yuan, who was born in a state-owned factory, has a keen sense of the current situation and future of laid-off workers. Compared with farmers, these people have no land. Compared with employees in enterprises and institutions, they have lost their only jobs, so they have become the middle class.

A group of people who have no place to go.

From an enterprise perspective, having a group of skilled workers can produce in the shortest possible time, greatly shortening the period from construction to production.

The group of people drove to the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, a separate large yard located inside the Xiangfang Machinery Factory, with a modern layout and a 500-acre vehicle testing ground.

Chunfeng Academy of Sciences is brightly lit.

Yao Yuan accompanied Vice Governor Zhang on a walking tour, pointing to the building and introducing, "Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has several research institutes, most of which are still under construction. Among them, the Automotive Technology Research Institute is developing the fastest, with currently fifty

scientists and 3,000 engineers.”

"Leader, you see, the building layout of the entire Academy of Sciences adopts a fragmented and block-based model. Each research institute has an independent office building, but most of the laboratories and test sites are shared and are managed by the administrative department.

The system is allocated and used through advance application. The Academy of Sciences has two systems. The administrative department is only responsible for daily management and logistics, while the technical committee is responsible for scientific and technological research. In fact, the president of the Academy of Sciences is responsible for logistics, the technical committee, and the chief executive.

Scientists and chief engineers are the top leaders. The technical committee meets once a week to review and approve the project applications submitted by various research institutes and research groups. After approval, the funds will be directly allocated by Dongfeng Group. Dongfeng Group organizes a scientific research and technology review meeting every month.

Review all ongoing research projects and select some as first-class key projects. Projects rated as first-class key projects can receive up to 100 million yuan in research funding."

Yao Yuan talked a lot in one breath, talked about technology in a clear and logical manner, and introduced scientific research work like a treasure. The scientific research management model adopted by Chunfeng Academy of Sciences was born out of the later National Academy of Sciences, and made extensive reference to the later scientific research management system of Huawei. Facts have proved that this

It is an effective model.

There are no high-rise buildings in the entire Chunfeng Academy of Sciences. They are all multi-story buildings. They are constructed according to the specific needs and actual conditions of different institutes. They look well-proportioned and have the feel of a large southern mansion. They are more like a huge garden than a research institute.

mechanism.

Zhou Liang said, "The city is coordinating with Minmetals to replace about 1,000 acres of land in the Minmetals compound for the Chunfeng Academy of Science."

"Does the province need to step forward?" Vice Governor Zhang asked with concern.

Zhou Liang said quickly, "Minmetals is very supportive of our work in the city and agreed to replace the land in the family compound. We allocated a piece of land elsewhere for them."

"Yeah." Vice Governor Zhang nodded slightly.

Minmetals is a provincial enterprise, and Vice Governor Zhang is the leader in charge of state-owned enterprises, the real leader.

Vice Governor Zhang asked, "The scale is very large. Scientists are the high ground and scientists are the future. Xiao Yao, you have positioned the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences as a core institution, which is very good."

"Scientific research is global, and the key lies in who has mastered the core technology. We have established research centers in Novosibirsk and Europe. In addition to inviting some scientists to China, we are also promoting research in these two places according to plans. Russian mathematics and

Physics is very powerful, and the Novosibirsk region is one of the key regions. The research center of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences in the Novosibirsk region will be a very important branch in the future. We plan to invest one trillion US dollars in various fields in the next twenty years, especially

In the field of electronic technology, we must be able to formulate technical standards." Yao Yuan spoke eloquently.

"One trillion U.S. dollars?" Vice Governor Zhang couldn't help shaking his head, with a smile on his face, "Xiao Yao, you still have to eat one bite at a time. Scientific research is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it requires long-term investment."

He expressed his doubts about Yao Yuan's trillion-dollar scientific research plan very tactfully, and at the same time, he also tactfully reminded Yao Yuan not to be too ambitious.

Yao Yuan didn't care and said with a smile, "There is a Weihua Technology Company under the Chunfeng Group. The general manager is Meng Weiguo. The research center in Novosibirsk mainly provides technical support for this company. The main areas include communications.

Electronic technology. In half a year, we invested US$50 million in research funds, and now we have mastered the second-generation communication technology, which is expected to be put into use next year."

Vice Governor Zhang said, "The top priority is the Baojun base. I promise to help you build it within a year, and you promise to produce cars with our own brand of Chinese people within a year."

"I can guarantee that."

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded.

Even without the support of the government, he would have completed the development of the first self-branded car within two years. After opening the market with the assembled Pajero, he would have gone all out to publicize and quickly capture market share, and spent ten years preparing to face the year 2000.

After the explosion of the automobile market, we started to compete with foreign brands.

The group walked into the Automotive Technology Research Institute, where Zhan Chenggui, Yuri and others, who had been notified in advance, were already waiting there.

In the dust-free laboratory, Yao Yuan pointed to a trial car and said, "Leader, in fact we have already produced a trial car. We use a production line we developed ourselves and high-precision machine tools. The error has reached international standards."

of."

"This car is positioned as a 100,000 yuan sedan, the Baojun 320. It uses a 2-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine. This engine is also developed by us. The chief engineer is Mr. Yuri.

We are also developing a turbocharged engine with the same displacement. The chassis used by Baojun 320 is also developed by us, using overall chassis design technology. Oh, this technology is the first integrated chassis design technology put into use in the world.

, we applied for a patent.”

Yao Yuan introduced it succinctly, "However, the progress of the gearbox is not as smooth as expected. It has not yet entered the engineering prototype stage. We have decided to adopt a backup plan and introduce ZF gearboxes. However, this will put our cost pressure on

It will be bigger.”

"What's the final price?" Vice Governor Zhang was very happy. He didn't expect that other engineering prototype cars had been built. "Santana sells for 200,000 yuan, and the supply exceeds demand. If your car only sells for 100,000 yuan, it can be said to be a revolution for the market.

.”

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Three configurations will be launched in the early stage, and the price range should be between 120,000 and 150,000."

"However, Santana is a German car with good quality and good workmanship. They have an advantage after all." Zheng Kaijin said in a deep voice.

Chinese people have been superstitious about German and Japanese products since the 1980s. Of course, their products are commendable, but they have been deified by some people. By 2020, domestic cars have surpassed foreign brands by several blocks.

.

Yao Yuan smiled and shook his head and said, "Volkswagen is a cheap car in Europe, including their Audi. To be honest, the quality of Volkswagen is good, and it is even better in China because there are no similar products to compare with. However,

I believe Baojun 320 far surpasses Santana in terms of quality and cost performance."

Yuri couldn't help but interjected, "We have used more than a hundred new technologies on the Baojun 320, one-third of which are new technologies used in automobile manufacturing for the first time in the world. For example, the variable valve, the engine can adjust the throttle according to the throttle

The size is automatically adjusted, which improves efficiency and reduces energy consumption."

The translator quickly translated his words.

Vice Governor Zhang was stunned, "World-leading technology? New technology used in automobile manufacturing for the first time in the world? Is it true?"

"It's true, this is the research result of Chunfeng Academy of Sciences, and has been patented in more than a dozen countries and regions." Yao Yuan nodded.

Vice Governor Zhang said with emotion, "Xiao Yao, you have launched another satellite, which has filled several gaps in the country. Do you think this will work? The province will organize a group of experts to come over for technical exchanges.

Your new technology will also be verified, and we will vigorously promote it."

"Inappropriate." Yao Yuan shook his head and refused, "The new technology is still in the confidentiality stage. It is a business secret and it is not yet time for publicity."

Vice Governor Zhang hesitated for a moment, but was still unwilling to let go of this excellent publicity opportunity, "How about general publicity?"

Yao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's issue a press release and follow our standards. As for technical verification, it is not necessary, but technical exchanges are no problem. We warmly welcome it."

Technical verification definitely involves core data. Yao Yuan has no way to control external experts, so he can only strictly control the scope of core data internally.

As for technical exchanges, Yao Yuan actually wants them. There are a large number of technical experts in the country who are very good, they just lack Bole.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Vice Governor Zhang looked around the engineering trial vehicle with great interest and learned about its various functions in detail.

Zhan Chenggui said, "Baojun 320 sedan is positioned as a compact sedan. It is 4.6 meters long, has a wheelbase of 2.7 meters, weighs 1.5 tons, and can carry 5 people. It uses a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine.

The maximum power is 115 kilowatts, which is 155 horsepower, and the maximum torque is 195 Nm. Its power parameters exceed Santana in all aspects."

"The gearbox is from ZF. The low-end version uses a 5-speed manual gearbox, and the mid-range and high-end versions use a 5-speed AT gearbox, which is a hydraulic automatic gearbox. What we are about to conduct is the three-high test.

, it is a very severe test for the engine, chassis and gearbox."

"What is the three-high test?" Vice Governor Zhang asked.

Zhan Chenggui said, "Plateau, alpine, and high temperature tests. Mr. Yao put forward the requirement that Baojun 320 must be able to operate normally in the plateau area at an altitude of 4,000 meters and in a temperature environment of plus or minus 41 degrees. This has a great impact on the manufacturing process of the entire vehicle.

It presents a very severe test.”

When Yao Yuan proposed these indicators, everyone, including Zhan Chenggui, opposed them. The reason is very simple. They want to build civilian vehicles, not military vehicles. Even from the perspective of military vehicles, these indicators are very high.

Yes.

No matter how ignorant you are of technology, you can still see the determination of Baojun Motors from these strict indicators.

Vice Governor Zhang gasped slightly and said, "Xiao Yao, you are going to build a tank."

Yao Yuan smiled, "Baojun Automobile, military quality, this is our slogan."
Chapter completed!
