Spring Breeze 1991

"Xiao Yao, since the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences provides technical support, the relevant research must have already started. Is it convenient to take a look?" Vice Governor Zhang looked anxious and anxious.

Yao Yuan was taken aback, "Now?"

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

Yao Yuan looked out of the window subconsciously, the darkness was sloppy.It is outrageous to have a symposium overnight, and now I have to visit the Academy of Sciences overnight.

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

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

Yao Yuan also persuaded, "Leader, let's have a good rest tonight. I will accompany you around tomorrow to see Xiangfang Machinery's modern production workshop and BMW's assembly workshop."

"By the way, Xiangfang Machinery and BMW cars are produced 24 hours a day, right?" Vice Governor Zhang asked with great interest in a very good spirit.

Yao Yuan nodded, "Yes, the eight-hour working system, three shifts, people and machines never stop."

"Let's go, let's look at the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences first, then the steering machinery, and finally the BMW. I'm a worker, and what I like the most is the roar of the factory machinery." Vice Governor Zhang got up and said.

He insisted on visiting, and everyone could only follow him.

He Xueli hurriedly arranged a car. Vice Governor Zhang was determined to go with Yao Yuan. He didn't take the city government car, nor did he sit with the city leaders.

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

In this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole province supports the construction of the Baojun base, and the province is doing just that.

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 his life in the revolution, and the economic development has just seen some dawn. "I can't wait to spend every minute on economic construction.

An automobile production base with a total investment of 50 billion can drive the development of upstream and downstream industries with a scale of 5 billion, and can activate the entire automobile production chain from beginning to end.The supporting factories alone can provide 10 jobs, and the driven surrounding industries can provide more than [-] jobs.

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

Yao Yuan, who was born in a state-owned factory, has a painful feeling about the current situation and future of laid-off workers.Compared with farmers, these people have no land, and compared with personnel in enterprises and institutions, they have lost their only job, so they have become a group of people in the middle who have nowhere to go.

From the perspective of the enterprise, there are a group of skilled workers who can produce in the shortest time, greatly shortening the period from construction to production.

A group of people drove to Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences, a separate large yard located in Fangfang Machinery Factory, with a modern layout and a [-]-acre vehicle testing ground.

Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences is brightly lit.

Accompanied by Vice Governor Zhang on a walking tour, Yao Yuan pointed to the building and introduced, "There are several research institutes under the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences, most of which are still under construction. scientists and three thousand engineers."

"Leader, look, the building layout of the entire Academy of Sciences adopts a block-by-block model. Each research institute has an independent office building, but most of the laboratories and test sites are shared and managed by the administrative department. The most important thing is to apply in advance to allocate and use. The Academy of Sciences has two systems. The administrative department is only responsible for daily management and logistics, and the technical committee is responsible for scientific and technological research. In fact, the dean of the Academy of Sciences is responsible for logistics. The technical committee, the chief Scientists and chief engineers are the top leaders. The technical committee meets once a week to review the project applications submitted by various research institutes and research groups. After approval, Chunfeng Group will directly allocate funds. Chunfeng Group organizes a scientific research and technology review committee meeting every month. Review all the ongoing research projects, select some as a first-class key, and the projects rated as a first-class key can receive up to 1 million yuan in research funding."

Yao Yuan talked a lot in one breath, talking about technology in a clear way, and introducing scientific research work like a treasure.The scientific research management model adopted by Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences was born out of the later National Academy of Sciences, and a lot of reference was made to the scientific research management system of the later Huawei Company. Facts have proved that this is an effective model.

There are no high-rise buildings in the entire Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences, all of which are multi-storey buildings. The construction is carried out according to the specific needs and actual conditions of different research institutes. It looks patchy and has the feeling of a southern mansion. It is more like a huge garden than a research institute mechanism.

Zhou Liang said, "The city is coordinating with Minmetals to replace about [-] mu of land in the Minmetals compound for use by the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences."

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

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

"Yes." Vice Governor Zhang nodded slightly.

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

Vice Governor Zhang asked, "The scale is not small. Scientists are the high ground and scientists are the future. Xiao Yao, it is very good that you have positioned the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences as the core institution."

"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 as planned. Russian mathematics and Physics is very powerful, and the Novosibirsk region is one of the key areas. The research center of the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences in the Novosibirsk region is a very important branch in the future. We plan to invest one trillion U.S. dollars in various fields within 20 years, especially electronics. In the field of technology, we must be able to formulate technical standards." Yao Yuan talked eloquently.

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

Very tactfully expressed his doubts about Yao Yuan's trillion-dollar scientific research plan, and at the same time tactfully reminded Yao Yuan not to aim too high.

Yao Yuan didn't care, and said with a smile, "There is a Weihua technology company under Chunfeng Group, and the general manager is Meng Weiguo. The research center in Novosibirsk mainly provides technical support for this company, and its main fields include communications. Electronic technology. We have invested 5000 million US dollars in research funds in half a year, and now we have mastered the second-generation communication technology, which is expected to be put into application 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 a car with our own brand of Huaxia people within a year."

"I can promise."

Yao Yuan smiled and nodded.

Even without the support of the government, he will complete the development of the first self-owned brand car within two years. After opening the market with the assembled and produced Pajero, he will do his best to promote and quickly occupy the market share. It will take ten years to prepare for the year 2000. After the explosion of the auto market, it fought with foreign brands.

A group of people walked into the Automotive Technology Research Institute, and 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 prototype car and said, "Leader, in fact, we have already produced a trial car. We use a production line developed by ourselves and use high-precision machine tools. The error has reached the international standard. of."

"This car is positioned as a 10 yuan sedan, Baojun 320, which uses a 2-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engine. This engine is also developed by ourselves. The chief engineer is Mr. Yuri, At the same time, we are also developing a turbocharged engine with the same displacement. The chassis used in Baojun 320 is also developed by ourselves, using the overall design technology of the chassis, oh, this technology is the first overall design technology of the chassis put into use in the world , we applied for a patent.”

Yao Yuan introduced straightforwardly, "However, the progress of the gearbox is not as smooth as expected, and it has not yet entered the engineering prototype stage. It has been decided to adopt a backup plan and introduce ZF's gearbox, but in this way, our cost pressure will be bigger."

"What's the final price?" Vice Governor Zhang was very happy. He didn't expect that all the trial-produced cars had been manufactured, "Santana sells for 20 yuan, and the supply exceeds demand. If your car only sells for [-] 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 12 and 15."

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

Chinese people have been superstitious about German and Japanese products since the 80s. Of course their products are commendable, but they have been deified by some people.By 2020, domestically-produced cars have already 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 looks even better in China because there are no similar products to compare with. However, I believe Baojun 320 is far superior to Santana in terms of quality and cost performance."

Yuri couldn't help but interjected, "We have used more than 320 new technologies on the Baojun 100, one-third of which are new technologies that are first applied to automobile manufacturing in the world. For example, the variable valve, the engine can adjust according to the throttle The size is automatically adjusted, which improves the efficacy and reduces energy consumption."

The translator quickly translated his words.

Vice Governor Zhang was taken aback, "The world's advanced technology? The world's first new technology used in automobile manufacturing? Is it true?"

"It's true. This is the research result of Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences, and it has applied for patents 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. See if this works. The province organizes a group of experts to come over for technical exchanges. Yes. Your new technology should also be verified, and we must vigorously publicize it.”

"Inappropriate." Yao Yuan shook his head and refused, "The new technology is still in the confidentiality stage, it is a commercial secret, and it's not yet ready for publicity."

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

Yao Yuan thought for a moment, and said, "Let's issue a press release, according to our caliber. As for technical verification, there is no need, but technical exchange is no problem, we warmly welcome it."

Technical verification must involve core data. Yao Yuan has no way to control outside experts, so he can only strictly control the scope of core data internally.

As for the technical exchange, Yao Yuan actually couldn't wish for it.There are a large number of technical experts in China 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 performance in detail.

Zhan Chenggui introduced, "The Baojun 320 sedan is positioned as a compact car, with a total length of 4 meters, a wheelbase of 6 meters, a weight of 2 tons, and a capacity of 7 people. It uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine. The maximum power is 5 kilowatts, that is, 2.0 horsepower, and the maximum torque is 115 Nm, and the power parameters comprehensively exceed those of Santana.”

"The gearbox equipped is from ZF. The low-end version uses a 5-speed manual gearbox, and the mid-range and high-end version uses a 5-speed AT gearbox, that is, a hydraulic automatic gearbox. We are going to conduct a three-high test soon. , 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, high cold, and high temperature tests. Mr. Yao made a request that Baojun 320 must be able to operate normally in a plateau area at an altitude of 4000 meters, and be able to operate normally in a temperature environment of plus or minus 41 degrees. This has a great impact on the manufacturing process of the vehicle. presents a very serious test."

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

No matter how ignorant of technology, Baojun Automobile's determination can be seen from these strict indicators.

Vice Governor Zhang gasped slightly, and said, "Xiao Yao, you want to build tanks."

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

Therefore, "Baojun Automobile, Military Quality" has become the slogan of Baojun Automobile.
