Chapter 101 Chinese Hummer
Speaking of red leaves, many people’s first reaction is maple leaves.
In fact, this may not be the case!
The red leaves in Xiangshan are actually cotinus leaves.
Cotinus cogitata is an important ornamental tree species in China. Not only the red leaves in Xiangshan, the capital, but also the red leaves in Jinan Hongye Valley and Shanting Baodugu are all of this tree species.
The pedicels of the sterile flowers that linger long after the cotinus blooms are pink and feathery, forming a cloud-like and mist-like landscape on the branches. From a distance, it looks like thousands of strands of yarn winding among the trees.
It has always been compared by literati and poets to "looking for old dreams with green smoke" and "flowers in the fog", so Cotinus cotinus is also known as the "smoke tree".
Appreciate the "purple smoke" in summer and the red leaves in autumn.
This is what Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin learned when they climbed Xiangshan for the first time during National Day last year.
“I asked Chen Chenxing yesterday to help me keep an eye on it to see if there is a suitable courtyard house.”
No matter when it is, buying a house is definitely a big deal.
There is no harm in telling Zhu Lin and the two elderly people in advance.
"People living in courtyards are desperately trying to move into units. Are you two still considering buying a courtyard?"
Fang Zhen also knows that Jiang Hui is cooperating with General Motors. After receiving $100,000, it was not surprising to hear that the young couple wanted to buy a house.
It’s just that like most people of this era, she thinks that courtyard houses are not suitable for living.
If possible, I would definitely live in a unit. It would have a separate kitchen and bathroom. How nice it would be.
“You can renovate a courtyard house if you buy it. As long as you are willing to spend the money, you will definitely live more comfortably than a unit.”
Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin had already discussed this before. After discussing it, Zhu Lin now naturally speaks with confidence.
What about septic tanks, bathrooms, wine, radiators...
Anyway, it was an explanation that made her mother change her inherent understanding of courtyard houses.
"After all your troubles, I guess you will be able to buy another house with the money you spent to renovate the house in the end, right?"
Fang Zhen finally understood. The young couple must have discussed this.
You don’t have to worry so much.
A few people chatted all the way towards the top of the mountain.
Fortunately, the altitude of Xiangshan is not high, so it is not particularly tiring to climb up.
"Dad, now that the college has asked you to act as an agent for the Department of Vehicle Engineering, I think we can take this opportunity to launch a brand new project."
"The off-road vehicles used by relevant departments were basically all BJ212, but in fact its performance on the battlefield still has a lot of room for improvement.”
“This time the new BJ212 of the Capital Automobile Factory is actually more concerned with urban road conditions rather than military needs. "
"In terms of military vehicles, a multi-functional, all-terrain wheeled vehicle is actually needed for transportation, reconnaissance, command, communication, support and weapons platforms."
Halfway through, several people found a stone slab on the roadside to rest for a while. Jiang Hui was going to find some projects for Zhu Jiansheng to work on.
It's just that Jiang Hui came up with such a plan out of nowhere, which confused Zhu Jiansheng.
“Didn’t you always think that civilian vehicles are the major trend in future development?”
“Now this project looks like it is for military use.”
If ordinary people follow If he proposed a new project, Zhu Jiansheng would probably be too lazy to take care of it.
But Jiang Hui is naturally different.
"There is no doubt that the development focus of the automobile industry in the future will be on civilian vehicles." "However, it is difficult to obtain financial support for the research and development of civilian vehicles, and there are also some teachers in the department who specialize in military vehicles."
“In this case, if you become the acting department head and fully turn to the research and development of civilian vehicles, you will probably encounter funding problems, and the Fifth Machinery Department will also have opinions.”
"So I thought of a multifunctional off-road vehicle that is currently used by the military and can also be used by civilians in the future."
Jiang Hui is going to take out the American Hummer and give it a good try.
Although some parameters may not be possible now, as soon as the plan comes out, it will definitely attract the attention of the Fifth Machinery Department and allow Zhu Jiansheng to gain a foothold in Capital Institute of Technology.
“What do you want to design this multi-functional off-road vehicle like?”
Feeling that what Jiang Hui said made some sense, Zhu Jiansheng straightened his waist and his expression changed. A little more seriously.
“In my imagination, this car uses both a steel body and a removable roof, and can carry many types of weapons, including machine guns, rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles.”
“It must also have sufficient armor protection to withstand attacks from small-caliber weapons and artillery shells.”
"These characteristics enable this car to not only operate in various harsh environments, but also provide reliable protection and support..."
"It may also be able to earn a large amount of foreign exchange from exports in the future."
Jiang Hui spent more than ten minutes seriously explaining his understanding of the "Hummer" to Zhu Jiansheng.
Zhu Jiansheng is also a person who knows the goods. After listening to Jiang Hui's words, he naturally knew that such a model should be very popular.
However, he asked again and said: "You just said that this car can be used for both military and civilian purposes in the future. It is unlikely, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. The civilian version can adopt a design similar to the military version, but have more luxurious interiors and comfort configurations."
"Those who like off-roading in the future should be very interested. Especially in foreign countries, the market is not small at all.”
“Of course, we must also consider the civilian version and make the model smaller and have lower fuel consumption...”
Jiang Hui continued to explain his thoughts on this multi-functional off-road vehicle.
Can be used for military or civilian purposes.
The key is that many design ideas are very different from the previous BJ212. It integrates the use requirements of some tanks, armored vehicles and other military vehicles, and has other comprehensive performance advantages.
Zhu Jiansheng feels that this project is indeed very suitable to be launched during this period.
“I’ll think about it carefully when I get back today, and I’ll go to the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant to talk to you in detail tomorrow.”
Public and private, Zhu Jiansheng feels that this project is his own Get it up.
As one of the Seven Sons of National Defense, the Capital Institute of Technology’s research and development of this multi-functional off-road vehicle with strong military attributes is definitely in line with their positioning.
As long as it is done well, no matter whether it is cooperated with FAW, Second Automobile Works or Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant for production, the credit will not be small.
“The main focus of this car is off-road capability and maneuverability. It needs to have excellent passability and adaptability, and can easily handle it whether it is in rugged mountains, muddy jungles or desert areas.”
“This requires a reliable chassis, powerful power system and first-class suspension system to maintain stable and flexible driving performance in various complex terrains.”
“Inside Many ideas really need to be discussed carefully."
"I think Dad, you can bring up the topic in the department next week, and then we can improve it together."
Since the "Hummer" project is to be brought out to pave the way for Zhu Jiansheng, the momentum must be built first.
If the two of them had settled on the plan without saying anything, how would that show Zhu Jiansheng's power?
