Of course they remembered that Qin Shaoyou had mentioned the matter of the R&D center. However, when developing a vehicle, the shell was the first to be developed, and the engine was the last to be tinkered with, because the technology of the engine was very difficult.

Qin Shaoyou came up and said that he would develop an engine, which made them unbelievable.

"Qin, you said you want to develop four models?" Rick finally spoke.

Therefore, Qin Shaoyou explained the engine research and development plan.

"The 2.0t high-performance engine can be used in Buick New Century and become its most reliable power." Qin Shaoyou said: "Other engines can also be used in our follow-up cooperation projects. After all, Buick New Century It’s just the beginning, and in the future, we will have more models, ranging from high-end to mid-range, and finally to low-end.”

"Moreover, this R&D center is the one that impresses the leaders of our superior departments the most. You know that we don't lack joint venture cars now. What we lack is the ability to independently develop." Qin Shaoyou said: "Moreover, in the research and development, there are also Our advanced technology can be used, and such an engine will reach a world-class level. It needs power and fuel consumption. Maybe you will introduce these engines in your country.”

The current 1.6t engine is just a transition. When these new engines are developed in the future and the GM joint venture factory is also profitable, it will be logical to expand the production line to produce such advanced engines.

Rick's mood was very conflicted. They knew that they would encounter a lot of resistance when they came here, but they didn't expect that such a huge disagreement would appear just after the negotiations on the joint venture project began.

However, Qin Shaoyou's argument is also reasonable. After all, if you want your superiors to agree to this joint venture project, you have to have something to impress them!

"You said, if these four engines are developed, there will be other models?" Schultz asked.

"Of course, according to our research and development history, it will take at least five years for a brand new high-performance engine to reach the level of full maturity that can be loaded into a car." Qin Shaoyou said: "Five years later, our country will have more As more people get richer, we can build a family car worth 10 yuan, and we can use 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engines as the main engine.”

The 10 yuan family car, of course, is the Sail. When it first came out, the Sail was so popular that there were already a large number of orders before the car was launched. The GM that was cheated by the three-cylinder in the future, looking back Looking at the scenery back then, I don't know how I would feel.

A family car worth 10 yuan is very fragrant. In that era, Santana Jetta was still superior, and Xiali became a taxi, so it lost its style. Therefore, the Sail with the GM standard became the first choice for family cars.

"Our nationals also need to have special sports cars, the price should not be too expensive, around 15 to 20, we can assemble a 1.5t engine. In this way, we can form a series of medium, high and low grades. Of course, These engines were jointly developed by us, and we will also use them on our Qin SUV, the current 1.6t engine is just a transition."

The cards have already been played, it depends on what the other party thinks, Qin Shaoyou's mouth was dry, he picked up the fruit on the table, and gnawed it.

The last car, of course, is the Cruze. It was also a magic car back then. Unfortunately, GM didn’t understand Chinese people.

For Qin Shaoyou, it would be icing on the cake if the engine research and development center could be established. If not, as long as the Phoenix car was put into production and made a large profit, he could still conduct research and development by himself.

It's just that 1 years is too long, so seize the day.He alone is not enough. If GM's people come over and follow along with R&D, the progress of R&D will be greatly improved. Moreover, as long as his technologies are used, GM will have to pay patent fees.

It depends on whether the other party has the courage.

The fuel consumption of American cars is high, and I am right. Anyway, the fuel price of American emperors is low, and people have never cared about fuel consumption, but Chinese people are different. Chinese people value this most.

If you want low fuel consumption, you have to use a small-displacement turbocharger.

After eating an apple, the person on the other side still hasn't made up his mind: "We need to think carefully about this matter. Can we hold today's meeting here?"

This is going to go back to discuss, maybe we have to call to the United States to discuss together.

Everyone sent off the guests politely, and waited for the evening banquet.

"Qin Gong, do you think they will agree?" Li Ming asked impatiently.Although he was a little aggrieved, he had to say that Qin Shaoyou took the initiative in the whole negotiation, and the other party could only accept the move, and had no room to fight back.

This feeling is still relatively refreshing.

"How do I know." Qin Shaoyou said: "I'm not a roundworm in their stomachs. Now, they are anxious, not us."

Li Ming nodded, that's right, the other party rushed over now, so the other party may still make it happen.

"Okay, I'm going back, the banquet tonight..."

"Qin Gong, you must come. At the banquet, maybe they will agree." Wang Jianguo said quickly, he was afraid that Qin Shaoyou would not go to the banquet.

"Yes, anyway, you can bring your partner along for dinner."

Qin Shaoyou has a beautiful girlfriend, Xia Miaomiao, and the whole factory knows about it. However, hearing this now, Qin Shaoyou shook his head helplessly: "Forget it."

Xia Miaomiao seemed to be possessed, spending all day with Huya girl, Qin Shaoyou was going to be jealous, because Huya girl snatched away the other half of her life!The night is long, I don't want to sleep, I have become an overtime maniac.

"I can't count, I have to go."

"Good, good, good."

In Huating Hotel, President Rick stomped back and forth, thinking about the whole project.

too big!

He came here just to finalize the production of the New Century sedan, and to discuss the R&D center by the way. As for the R&D project, he can think about it later. Unexpectedly, the engine will be developed.

For any car company, the engine is the most important thing for them. GM still has automatic transmission technology on hand, so they were not in a hurry to develop it.

How much does it cost to spend four engines together?This is not within the scope of the company's plan at all!The focus of their company is electric vehicles. According to their speculation, electric vehicles may be the future in the future, and internal combustion engines no longer need to invest in it.

"Yang, what do you think?" Rick asked. "In the United States, the world of electric vehicles will be in the future, but in other places, it is still the era of internal combustion engines. If we consider it from a global perspective, it is worthwhile to invest in small-displacement engines." Yang Lan Said, as the global vice president, Yang Lan sees the problem more comprehensively.

"Global? Will electric vehicles be popularized globally?"

"How is that possible? In many countries, they don't pay much attention to environmental protection, or even if they do, they don't have the ability to do so. Petroleum fuel will still be the main source of energy for human beings for a long time."

Rick nodded.

"So, will small-displacement engines become a trend in the future? On our list of the top ten engines, we have never seen an engine with a displacement smaller than 2.0."

Americans like large displacement, so this kind of small displacement engine will not be liked by Americans. It can only be exported to foreign countries. Will there be a market?

Yang Lan shook her head: "I don't know, but if the fuel consumption of the engine of the car we are riding today is only half of our fuel consumption in the new century, I think it will also play a big role in reducing emissions. The word "environmental protection" will be used in the future It will be brought up more and more often.”

They couldn't easily decide on such a major research and development project. During the discussion, it was already night outside.

The accommodation conditions in Huating International Hotel are very good. Take the elevator upstairs and you can go directly to the restaurant. Among them, the European theater-style luxurious banquet hall is where the dinner is held today.

There are not only people from the automobile factory, but also people from the government's foreign affairs department, and it is still very lively inside.

The horizontal banner has been hung up, with the words welcome to the VIPs of General Motors written on it, and it is even mixed in Chinese and English, which looks quite special.

When Qin Shaoyou walked in, he had already seen the communication between men in tuxedos and women in high-end evening gowns in twos and threes. Qin Shaoyou looked down at the suit he wore when he returned to Xia Miaomiao's house last year. He straightened his chest and walked away. went in.

"Qin, you are finally here." Schultz greeted him first.

Qin Shaoyou picked up a goblet from the plate on the side. He could handle such a scene with ease, but Xia Miaomiao didn't come with him, which made him feel a little regretful. If Xia Miaomiao could come , can definitely become the most beautiful woman in the entire banquet hall.

Forget it, there is no need to show the beauty of my wife to outsiders, just stay at home.

Qin Shaoyou found a reason for himself, and then raised his glass.

"My friends, you don't seem to be bothered by jet lag."

"Yes, we often go to various parts of the world, and we are used to it." Schultz said, "However, the rapid development of this ancient East surprised us."

"Yes, in another ten years, here will be a modern metropolis." Qin Shaoyou said: "It is not inferior to the big cities in the West. It has the most extensive automobile market here."

While the two were talking, Yang Lan had already walked over.

"Mr. Qin, you have given us a big problem. This is simply a blow to the head." Yang Lan said with a smile.

"We must face up to difficulties." Qin Shaoyou said: "I am optimistic about the cooperation with GM. As long as you show enough sincerity, it will definitely be possible. After all, you should know that the most important thing here is the way of checks and balances."

Yang Lan nodded knowingly. She knew that Qin Shaoyou was telling him that GM had a chance, because Volkswagen was the only one big company, which was not in line with the development of S City. GM could be used to check and balance Volkswagen.

When talking with the city leaders, you can also talk about this benefit in a circumstantial way.

"Thank you." Yang Lan raised her glass.

"You should also know that in our place, we often pay attention to interpersonal relationships. There must be many Chinese in your GM, and they can all do their jobs." Qin Shaoyou continued: "When the relationship between the two parties is good, everything can be done. It will happen."

Yang Lan continued to nod.

"Also, there are many disadvantages here. The layman leads the expert, which is one of them. At present, in our factory, the deputy director in charge of production is vacant. In the city, a layman named Pan Lian has been active. If her event is successful, there may be twists and turns in our cooperation." Qin Shaoyou continued.

Yang Lan frowned: "A layman wants to be transferred to your factory to supervise production?"

"Yes, you are meeting with the city leaders this time, and this layman is likely to attend the meeting, when the time comes..."

Qin Shaoyou has many ways. In short, it is absolutely impossible for that Pan Lian to come to the automobile factory. Since these Americans are here, it is just a good time to use them to let the superiors know that the supervisor of the automobile factory produces What an important role the deputy factory director is, and what a devastating blow it would be to the automobile factory if a layman occupied this position.

This is the only way to help the master. If Liu Shengli becomes the deputy factory director, then Qin Shaoyou will be able to perform better in the future.

Although Li Ming, Zhao Guodong, and Qin Shaoyou are usually very polite, they are not direct descendants after all, and Qin Shaoyou is more at ease with Liu Shengli. In state-owned enterprises, these relationships are still very important.

Yang Lan listened very carefully. For them, it was a matter of little effort, but for the automobile factory, it was very important. In the future, the relationship with the automobile factory can be closer, and preparations for future joint ventures will be made.

President Rick is here.

This kind of banquet is where people come and go, say a few words, get closer, or make a deal. Now, Rick raised his glass and said to Qin Shaoyou: "Qin, you are an ambitious person."

"President Rick, there is something wrong with your sentence. You should praise me as a person with lofty ideals." Qin Shaoyou said boldly.

"Okay, you have lofty ideals." Rick said: "So, you have to pull us in General Motors to realize this ideal."

"No, this is also realizing your ideals for General Motors. Our country will become the largest automobile consumer market in the world. If General Motors cooperates with us, it will be able to occupy this market." Qin Shaoyou said: "Many car companies are Look, Ford, Chrysler, but we chose GM, this is fate, as long as you can show your sincerity, then this cooperation will definitely be a success."

"must?"

"Yes, for sure. This is an important step for GM, President Rick, and you will go down in history for this step."

There was a strange look in Rick's eyes.

Qin Shaoyou was right, Rick wanted to do great things, and wanted to be famous in history.If the public can succeed, he must succeed too!
