In Yang Xinyu's remarks, three points were ridiculed, and the other seven points came from the heart. He was also a technical cadre, but in terms of sensitivity and vision for technological development, he is far less than Qin Hai. As early as during the localization of Pusang Automobile, Yang Xinyu often sought advice from Qin Hai. In these years, he has asked Qin Hai for dozens of times. Each time he can get some useful inspiration from Qin Hai. Reliance on Qin Hai has grown stronger.

I heard Yang Xinyu say this, Qin Hai was slightly humble, and then went straight to the topic and asked: "Director Yang, what makes you worry about it, say it and see if I can help you share a little."

"Speaking of which is my old business, it is still a car thing." Yang Xinyu said.

"A car?" Qin Hai nodded. "No wonder, now all over the country are working on cars, but it really makes you a big director."

The Chinese automobile market in the mid-1990s was not excessively described as "princes and princes." Following the success of the Pusang automobile introduction project, several large automobile companies have introduced automobile production technology from abroad through joint venture methods, forming several major joint venture automobile production bases. As the market advances, w + ww. Is released one step at a time, and all provinces and cities are optimistic about the broad prospects of the automotive industry, and have applied for the establishment of their own automobile enterprises.

According to the original plan of the Planning Commission and the Machinery Commission, China does not need to build too many auto companies. Instead, it should concentrate limited funds on a few companies to become bigger and stronger. However, the determination of provinces and cities in the automotive industry is difficult to resist. They used all their lobbying abilities to put pressure on the Planning Commission, forcing the Planning Commission to issue one car license after another, and started a leap forward in the auto industry.

It is not too late for China's auto industry to start, but because of a period of isolation from foreign countries, technical faults have occurred. The Pusang automobile introduction project is a very obvious example. Pujiang Automobile Factory built a Pujiang brand car for 20 years. When it came to a joint venture with foreign countries, it was found that all its technologies were outdated, and it was necessary to restart the make-up class from a place like a small screw cap.

Thanks to the foundation laid by the Pusang automobile localization project, the domestic automobile supporting industry has begun to take shape today, and it can provide a considerable part of auto parts and materials. This is also an important reason why localities dare to launch automobile projects. However, car technology is not so simple after all, the appearance and structural design of the car. And the production of core components in automobiles, including engines and transmissions, is still the shortcoming of the domestic automotive industry. As an official of the Machinery Committee, Yang Xinyu had to worry about these things.

"The problem of automobile engines is now the biggest obstacle facing us. Without breaking through this obstacle, China's automobile industry will always be able to follow others." Yang Xinyu told Qin Hai.

"I remember that Pujiang Automobile Company did not introduce the engine technology of German Wolfsburg and built a production base with an annual output of 100,000 engines?" Qin Hai asked.

"Now it has been expanded to 200,000 units per year," Yang Xinyu corrected. "Besides Pujiang Automobile Company, Beidian and Anshi have also established their own engine production bases. Each has formed an annual output of 20 Production capacity of more than 10,000 units. "

Beidian Automobile Company and Anshi Automobile Company are both domestic auto brands. In the past two years, American and Japanese automobile technologies have been introduced. Production of joint venture brand cars. Qin Hai only heard about these two companies' establishment of the engine base and did not know much about it. Hearing this from Yang Xinyu, he responded casually: "So, what else does Director Yang care about? Let these companies increase some more investment and increase production capacity. Isn't it OK?"

"The problem is that the engine technologies of these companies are all imported from abroad, not independent technologies." Yang Xinyu said in a word.

"It was like this ..." Qin Hai understood the meaning of Yang Xinyu. As a traversal, Qin Hai should be able to think of this. It is only because his own specialty is materials that there is not much research on cars, so this important issue is ignored. He remembered that until the beginning of the 21st century, most of the small cars running on the Chinese land used engines with imported technology, especially in high-end cars, which were almost completely monopolized by foreign brand engines.

"So, is the Machinery Commission planning to do something in the independent research and development of the engine?" Qin Hai asked tentatively.

Yang Xinyu said: "It is indeed the intention, but this matter was not initiated by the Machinery Commission, but was jointly initiated by several large automobile companies such as Beidian, Pujiang, Anshi. They put forward a slogan to the end of this century The development of an independent brand engine that has achieved world-class standards has been appreciated by the relevant leading comrades of the central government. "

Qin Haidao: "This is a good thing. Isn't the country always advocating independent innovation? These big car companies can spontaneously propose innovation, and the state should give them strong support."

Yang Xinyu nodded, but his expression was not easy. He said: "Independent innovation is a good thing, but there are many difficulties before us. The technology involved in engines is so diverse that our country lacks the foundation in many aspects. It's not easy to make a world-class engine in a few years. "

Qin Hai said disdainfully: "Can you come up with it? It's another matter. Car companies have this determination and they should support it. What foreigners can do, we can also do it, it's nothing more than putting in sufficient funds. . "

Yang Xinyu smiled bitterly: "Chairman Qin spoke really loudly, but nothing more than ... do you know how much money needs to be invested in it?"

"How much?" Qin Hai asked.

"In the initial investment, no less than 2 billion." Yang Xinyu stretched out a slap, flipped it back and forth, indicating a "20" number.

"His ..." Qin Hai took a cool breath, he didn't expect that it would take so much money to develop an engine technology. To put it in perspective, Daqin Group is also a company willing to invest heavily in scientific research. For several key technologies in the 800,000-ton ethylene project, Daqin Group has invested one or two billion yuan. What he didn't expect is that the technology of the car engine will be more difficult than the core technology of 800,000 tons of ethylene. The investment of 2 billion in Yang Xinyu's mouth is just the initial investment.

"Why do you need to invest so much money?" Qin Hai had to ask.

Yang Xinyu got up and took a document on his desk and handed it to Qin Hai. Qin Hai took it and saw that the cover reads: "Inquiry Report on Technical Research on Advanced Car Engines with Independent Intellectual Property Rights", and then look at the following paragraphs. There are impressively the Beidian, Pujiang, Anshi, etc. mentioned by Yang Xinyu just now. In addition to the names of several large automobile companies, there are also the signatures of the Automobile Industry Association and other smaller automobile companies.

"This spirit of collective research is worth advocating." Qin Hai opened the report while reading, and began to read at a glance.

At the beginning of the report, as usual, there are some routines of official articles, which are nothing more than acclaiming the good situation of the domestic automobile industry and the achievements of various car companies. A big gap, very disproportionate to China's status as a country with a large population and a large industrial country, followed by citing the spirit of important documents of the central government and the speeches of different central leaders to prove the need for independent innovation. Finally, it entered the topic and proposed to join forces. Many domestic companies and scientific research institutes have launched research on domestic engines.

The second part of the report is a detailed description of the key tasks of the engine. It lists the ten major obstacles in engine technology, including theory, materials, processes, equipment, etc. . Qin Hai did not know much about engine technology, and some of the contents could not be discriminated against. However, he knew a little about the material of the engine. After careful reading, he found that the technical issues involved were indeed complicated and complicated. Looking at the knowledge system 20 years ahead, I feel that I have some scratches.

"Do all these technologies need to break through?" Qin Hai asked Yang Xinyu pointing to the report.

"Yes." Yang Xinyu said, "This is a list made by several major car companies after hundreds of experts have conducted research. Some of these technical difficulties can be solved by introducing technology, but most need to be based on Autonomy. "

"To break through these technologies, the 2 billion investment can only be regarded as the initial investment." Qin Hai admits helplessly. He can use golden fingers to help cheat, and may save some R & D investment ~ www.mtlnovel .com ~ But if the difficulty in other aspects is the same as the difficulty of the materials, the required funds will be incalculable, unless Yang Xinyu has the ability to find several traversers in different fields and everyone cheats together.

"You are coming at the right time. We are planning to hold a seminar in two days to discuss this matter. There are leaders and technical executives from various car companies, as well as the authority of several scientific research institutes. When you arrive Join as a material expert and help me check. "Yang Xinyu told Qin Hai.

Qin Haidao: "Okay, but what I know is limited to the field of materials. I am a layman in other aspects, I'm afraid I can't help you much."

Yang Xinyu shook his head and said, "No, I believe that your Xiao Qin's technical vision, even if you are not familiar with the field, you can hear some problems, and then we can give us some inspiration."

"Then I'd better respect him then." Qin Hai agreed to Yang Xinyu's invitation with a smile. In fact, he also wanted to hear about the situation and increase some understanding of the field.
