Chapter 86 Special Invitation
Whether a person has something in his belly can be roughly judged by a little communication.
If the content of the exchange is professional knowledge, the conclusion can basically be given quickly.
Obviously, Jiang Hui’s wonderful bilingual explanations in Chinese and English completely conquered everyone.
Edward eagerly extended the invitation in front of everyone and said, "Jiang, are you interested in coming to GM to exchange and study?"
"Now we are closely negotiating cooperation on some projects, and it is completely natural to invite some technical talents from China to exchange and learn at GMC." Jiang Hui extended the invitation to build momentum for Jiang Hui.
Of course, this is not because General Motors has a sense of superiority when looking at the Chinese automobile industry, and it can do whatever it wants.
After hearing this, Jiang Hui immediately glanced at the two big guys, Zheng Haiming and Qin Hao.
However, as a leader, the expression management is very good, and there is no special expression on the face.
"Mr. Edward, I am an employee of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Everything is subject to the arrangements of the factory."
After entering the communication session, Jiang Hui did not continue to speak English and gave the other person the opportunity to translate.
This change also made the leaders of the First Machinery Department take a good look at Jiang Huigao.
“Do you think it is difficult to design the appearance of a new model?”
Edward knew that at this time, he and Jiang Hui would continue to struggle with the topic of whether to go to General Motors for exchange and study. , throw out the bait first and talk about it later.
Now he is ready to continue to explore and see if Jiang Hui's design is a flash of inspiration in addition to the appearance of the new BJ212, or if this is the beginning of a genius.
Judging from the situation of international design masters, they often have a series of classic works.
If Jiang Hui is really a genius designer, then General Motors will definitely not give up easily.
“We in China have a saying that says, ‘Those who are difficult can’t master it, but those who can master it are not difficult’. I think it should be very appropriate when it comes to car exterior design.”
“Capital Automobile What the manufacturer currently needs most is a modified version of the BJ212, so I designed the new BJ212. ”
"If our factory needs to produce cars, pickup trucks or other models in the future, then I will naturally design the models needed in the factory."
Jiang Hui vaguely felt that an opportunity seemed to be in front of him.
This opportunity is not to study at General Motors, but other opportunities.
So he doesn’t intend to hide his clumsiness.
“Xiao Jiang is not only the appearance designer of our new BJ212, he is actually the chief designer of this car.”
"His university graduation project was to design a brand new 4MT manual transmission."
"Recently, he has guided our engine supporting manufacturers to increase engine power and reduce engine fuel consumption."
"At the same time, he also guided the design of various parts such as chassis, interior and exterior decoration, and body."
Zheng Haiming was naturally very happy that the people in his factory had gained such a big limelight.
No matter how dazzling Jiang Hui is, it can only be good for him, not bad.
At this time, he naturally had to help Jiang Hui promote it.
To a certain extent, promoting Jiang Hui is promoting the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
“Jiang, is this true?”
“You not only understand the exterior design of cars, but also the design of gearboxes, engines and other components?”
AO Sting was a little stimulated at this time.
He also stepped from an automotive engineer to the position of General Motors Design Director.
But he is mainly responsible for engine-related design work, and he only has a partial understanding of many other things.
But looking at Jiang Hui, it seemed that was not the case at all.
This is an all-rounder. China, which is so backward in the automobile industry, actually has such a powerful person.
If General Motors poached people there, wouldn't they be able to shine brilliantly on the new platform?
"One method can solve all problems."
"As long as you learn the mechanical principles well, the design logic of many things will be the same."
'Engines also Well, as for the gearbox, I think it’s not that difficult to design. ’
Now that the situation has developed, Jiang Hui must not be vain.
Even if some people in the First Machinery Department and the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant did not agree with what he said, they had to continue.
Of course, he really has the confidence to speak like this.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to be roasted on the fire.
"Jiang, do you have time these days?"
"I would like to invite you to the Capital Hotel so that we can have a good communication together."
"This time we have brought a lot of relevant information about the global automobile industry, which I think you will be interested in."
Austin also knows that there are some words that cannot be communicated in depth in public.
And today we are here for inspection, we cannot just communicate with Jiang Hui and let a bunch of people watch.
That’s why a special invitation was sent.
After hearing what Austin said, Jiang Hui did not answer directly, but turned to look at Zheng Haiming.
In this day and age, it is easy to cause trouble if you have casual contact with foreigners.
In particular, General Motors is currently negotiating with the First Machinery Department. If there is any "leakage" or the like, it may be mud that falls into the crotch, which is either shit or shit.
In later generations, this worry may be completely unnecessary.
But now it is October 1978, and even the important meeting has not been held yet.
Jiang Hui thinks there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
There is also a beautiful and beautiful wife waiting for him at home.
"Xiao Jiang, since Mr. Austin wants to have a good exchange with you about the global automotive industry and discuss various technical issues, then you can go."
Zheng Haiming slightly After thinking about it, I thought there would be no harm in letting Jiang Hui get in touch with people from General Motors.
Anyway, he is from the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant. As long as no one is released from the factory, Jiang Hui will not be able to do anything special in this era.
Qin Hao and Zheng Zhengqing from the First Machine Department next to them looked at each other and said nothing.
However, they knew that if Jiang Hui had such contact with General Motors, then inviting him to join the negotiation team would definitely be inappropriate.
Of course, after Jiang Hui has finished communicating with the people at General Motors, it is still necessary to ask him to understand the situation and see if he can figure out General Motors' thoughts.
"Jiang, your leader has approved it. Let's meet in the lobby on the first floor of the Capital Hotel at six o'clock tonight?"
After hearing the translator finish reading Zheng Haiming's words, Austin said The time for the first communication was immediately decided.
In response, Jiang Hui nodded and did not object again.
"Chairman Murphy, we have almost visited the clay model of the new BJ212. Do you want to visit the production workshop of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant next?"
At this time, Qin Hao, director of the Automobile Bureau, began to discuss the topic Pulled back to normal track.
Jiang Hui’s mission today is almost completed.
After all, if you visit the factory, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has professional explainers, and their explanations will definitely be better than Jiang Hui's.
