Chapter 310 The birth of Shouqi Jeep, competition in the automobile industry intensifies
“I have also communicated with some members of the academic department about this matter, and the Fifth Machinery Department and the Seventh Machinery Department also support me.”
"As long as the prototype of the intercontinental missile launch vehicle is successfully assembled this year, and if I have the opportunity to appear in the military parade next year as I told you, then I will be basically stable as a member of the academic department."< br>
"It will be confirmed by the year after next at the latest."
If anyone else discussed this topic with Zhu Jiansheng, he would definitely not say anything more and would only express modestly. You still need to work hard.
But Jiang Hui was different.
To a certain extent, Zhu Jiansheng has the title of academician of later generations, and the main contribution lies in Jiang Hui.
Otherwise, although his own level is not bad, there is still a gap between him and becoming a member of the academic department.
Now with the Hummer military vehicle project and the influence of the intercontinental missile launch vehicle, there is no expert with more influence than him in the domestic automobile industry.
“The campus-run factory of Capital University of Technology has slowly grown and developed relying on the Hummer military vehicle project.”
"During this process, I also feel that we can cooperate with FAW, Second Automobile Works, Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and other manufacturers, and even participate in the Shanghai Volkswagen Santana localization community project."
"This can Let the school-run factories develop at a much faster pace and become an influential domestic auto parts and accessories manufacturer.”
“In the future, these school-run factories will be independent and become specialized companies, and they will also be able to manufacture parts in the country. Enterprises have a place.”
“And the profits from these factories can also provide more sufficient funds and internship positions for the school, so that our professors and students can keep up with the most cutting-edge technology in the industry.”
“Whether it is publishing papers, improving industry influence, or improving students’ adaptability after work, it is very beneficial.”
"At the same time, the vehicle engineering major of our school can also consider expanding the scale of the school."
"Now there is only one class for each major, and the scale of training 30 people every year is completely unable to keep up with the market demand. ”
“I think it can be expanded to two classes next year, and further expanded to three classes, or even five or six classes in the future.”
To expand industry influence and cultivate students. The number of students must be sufficient.
When the time comes, the managers of various automobile factories and parts companies in the country will have alumni of the Department of Vehicle Engineering of Capital Institute of Technology, then the influence of both the school and Zhu Jiansheng will be greatly increased. improvement.
Currently, Capital Institute of Technology’s technology and concepts in the automotive industry are the most advanced in the country. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can become the most powerful vehicle engineering major in the country.
In the future, let alone Zhu Jiansheng, a member of the academic department, it is not impossible to have one or two more.
Besides, in addition to the vehicle engineering major, other majors such as mechanical design and automation also have the opportunity to have one or two faculty members.
The number of academicians in a school also represents, to a certain extent, the school’s scientific research capabilities and influence in the country.
“Your proposal is quite timely, to expand the scale of the vehicle engineering major. This voice has already been heard by some teachers.”
"I will formally discuss it with the school committee then, and we will gradually expand enrollment from the second half of this year."
What Jiang Hui said makes sense, and Zhu Jiansheng agreed without any hesitation. .
With more disciples and disciples, Zhu Jiansheng can go further and further on the road of "learning from the clan".
The current research gives him enough confidence.
……
Just when Jiang Hui was busy with various things in the capital and was about to return to Shenzhen to continue driving forward with BMW cars, the cooperation between the Capital Automobile Factory and AMC was officially confirmed.
The two parties established a 50:50 joint venture to build a brand new factory in the suburbs more than ten kilometers south of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant to produce AMC Jeep models.
This news naturally caused quite a stir in the domestic automobile industry.
"Xiao Jiang, some people in the ministry and the factory feel that cooperating with AMC to produce Jeep vehicles will give Shouqi Automobile a greater advantage in the field of off-road vehicles."
"By then, BJ212 and Jeep complement each other and occupy the domestic off-road vehicle market, and then simultaneously develop the sedan market, allowing Shouqi to replace FAW as the largest domestic car company.”
On the night of the signing of the contract between Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and AMC, both parties held a large-scale celebration dinner at the Capital Hotel.
Jiang Hui was naturally invited to participate.
After Chen Qi saw Jiang Hui, he couldn't help but tell him the background of establishing Shouqi Jeep.
After all, he took the initiative to talk to Jiang Hui about this topic some time ago. He had a formal conclusion so quickly, so it would be better to explain it.
“Congratulations to Director Chen. By then, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant will be able to walk on two legs, with joint ventures and independent efforts at the same time, and will become the king of the domestic automobile industry.”
Although Jiang Hui does not support the development and expansion of joint venture car companies, Shouqi Jeep has already been established, and it is meaningless for him to say anything else.
The rolling trend of history is not something he can stop.
After all, introducing foreign investment is a top priority now, and many factories are very active in this kind of joint venture.
Objectively speaking, the cooperation plan between Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and AMC is fairly fair.
It’s hard to say what technology the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant will ultimately learn from this cooperation.
But at least it is possible to learn some management things, which is somewhat meaningful.
"Then let me lend you your good words. I hope that our Shouqi Jeep can also develop and grow rapidly."
Chen Qi is very busy today, and after a few simple greetings with Jiang Hui, he wants to Go greet other guests.
On the contrary, Jiang Hui came here today to have a good chat with other guests.
"Director Jiang, I heard that you have encountered some problems in the development of your 1.5L engine. There is a significant gap between the assembled prototype and the design specifications."
"How about you consider using our mass-produced mature products?"
At the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory, Cheng Tao, the chief engineer who used to deal with Jiang Hui often, has now become the factory director.
Of course he hopes that the factory's business will prosper.
With the gasoline engine previously developed for the BJ212 and the diesel engine for the Hummer military vehicle, the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory is now the largest engine company in the country.
This is why Cheng Tao had the confidence to come over and discuss this topic with Jiang Hui.
"I thought, that would save trouble, but the BMW Light is just a van, and your 2.5L gasoline engine can't fit in the engine compartment."
Whether they have good intentions or ulterior motives, Jiang Hui has no idea. Why do you need to argue with Cheng Tao?
Although their engines have undergone their own improvements before and have been greatly improved compared to domestic products of the same era, there is still a certain gap between them and the international advanced level.
Besides, as a car company, if it can't even produce its own engines, it's unreasonable and it will definitely not be able to go far in the long run.
So BMW will definitely produce its own engines in the future and has no plans to purchase them from outside. Even the gearbox, only the 4MT manual gearbox will be purchased from the Capital Gear Factory, and other more advanced products will be developed by ourselves in the future.
Nanshan Technology will set up a Nanshan gearbox specifically to develop and produce various types of gearbox products.
In the future, it can not only be supplied to BMW cars, but also sold externally.
Based on domestic gearbox technology, the future of BMW gearboxes is definitely worth looking forward to.
“As long as certain adjustments are made to the engine compartment, there is still a chance to fit it in.”
Cheng Tao didn't want to give up so easily.
If other car manufacturers are not interested, forget it. Their current production capacity is quite tight anyway and they don’t have to worry about sales.
But Jiang Hui is in charge of BMW, and Cheng Tao is very aware of Jiang Hui's strength.
He has a hunch that BMW may bring huge changes to China's automobile industry.
If the Capital Internal Combustion Engine General Plant does not seize this opportunity, it will definitely regret it in the future.
But for such an important part as the engine, BMW chose to develop and produce it on its own, which put Cheng Tao in a relatively passive situation.
Both factories in the Automobile Industry Street, Capital Gear Factory and Capital Auto Accessories Factory are cooperating with BMW, but only Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory does not cooperate.
Not to mention other things, this alone is hard to accept.
At that time, the leaders of the First Machinery Department may still think that there is something wrong with the attitude of their Capital Internal Combustion Engine Plant, which is why BMW does not cooperate with them.
“Replacing the engine is not just about plugging the engine in. All parts of our exhaust system also need to be redesigned.”
"And due to the different weight of the engine, the structure of our vehicle and the tuning of the chassis need to be significantly changed."
"I also want to mass-produce the BMW Light within this year. Well, if the engine is replaced, it feels like there will be no chance this year."
When Jiang Hui said this, it was difficult for Cheng Tao to refute.
After all, what Jiang Hui said is true.
The engine is very important, which means that after the engine is changed, many related parts need to be changed simultaneously.
This requires quite a bit of time.
"Director Jiang, I heard that you are also developing a car. This car should not use a 1.5L engine, right?"
"Look at what we are doing on this project Is there any possibility of cooperation? ”
Since there is no possibility of cooperation on BMW Light, let’s see if there are any opportunities in other projects.
Cheng Tao will definitely not give up so easily.
"BMW is indeed developing a second model. If there is demand later, we will definitely contact your factory."
"By the way, Director Cheng, you are a domestic internal combustion engine technology expert. Everyone The monthly salary is more than 300 yuan, which is not low.”
“But if you are interested in taking charge of engine research and development at BMW, then I can help communicate and let them work directly. Add a zero to the end of your current salary."
Cheng Tao was shocked as soon as Jiang Hui said this.
He just wanted to open up new customers for the factory, so why did Jiang Hui put the idea of poaching people on himself?
But adding a zero after the salary...
The impact is still very big.
As a factory director, Cheng Tao is definitely not short of money, and he doesn't even have many opportunities to spend money in his daily life.
The house allocated by the factory, the car provided by the factory, the secretary provided by the factory, even the clothes are work clothes, and all kinds of daily necessities are also issued by the factory.
Coupled with other incomes, he is definitely one of the people with the highest living standards in this era.
But even so, his annual income is definitely not as much as 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Unless he is evil, he will take any money.
But if that's true, it won't take long for him to go in and work.
"Director Jiang, you are really good at joking."
Cheng Tao didn't know how to answer Jiang Hui's words, so he responded a little awkwardly.
"I'm not kidding. BMW can really offer you such a high salary. We think you are worth the price."
In the past year, BMW has also made a lot of money from the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Plant. Even Hu Shuiwen, the director of their original design department, was poached by Jiang Hui.
It’s just that BMW has many engine models to develop, and the technical difficulty is relatively high. It’s still not enough to rely on a technical expert like Hu Shuiwen alone.
If more top experts in the country could be invited, and Jiang Hui could be there to encourage others, the effect would be worth looking forward to.
Otherwise, if we wait until the polar bear collapses to introduce international talents on a large scale, it will still delay the development of BMW to some extent.
Jiang Hui didn't want to wait that long.
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of leaving the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory for the time being."
"Shouqi Jeep was established today. I will recommend our engines to Director Chen and take a look. I’m sorry to say whether Jeep will use our engine products in the future.”
After Cheng Tao finished speaking, he left in a panic.
He was worried that if he continued to chat with Jiang Hui, he might not want to work at the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory.
But after finally reaching the position of factory director, it is really difficult for him to give up easily.
"Xiao Jiang, you are too ruthless. Do you want to poach the elites from all the factories of our First Machinery Department?"
The conversation between Jiang Hui and Cheng Tao happened to be Qin Hao next to him heard part of it, and he knew what happened after a little analysis.
"Leader, under your leadership of the Automobile Bureau, the entire industry has undergone earth-shaking changes. This year's domestic automobile production will definitely reach a new high."
Jiang Hui did not talk to Qin Hao about the topic just now. The content was a bit inappropriate no matter how he said it.
In this case, let's move the topic to the area that Qin Hao likes to listen to.
“Output has increased, but the competitive landscape has also changed, and the pressure on each factory is considerable.”
