Material Empire

Seeing Qin Hai's surprised look, Zhang Daiwei put down his chopsticks and began to calculate for Qin Hai with his fingers.

According to Zhang Daiwei, a car is actually not a complicated thing, it is nothing more than a power system, transmission system, shell and some equipment inside the car. Unlike fuel vehicles, the power system of an electric vehicle is very simple, just a set of batteries and an electric motor. It does not need a fuel tank, oil circuit, engine, cooling system, exhaust gas treatment device, etc. like a fuel vehicle. In this way, the development difficulty of the power system is not on the same order of magnitude as that of fuel vehicles.

As for the shell, the equipment in the car, etc., there is not much technical content. According to the concept of people back then, the exterior design of the car was not very important, and there were no luxury requirements such as leather interiors in the car.

"You're right." Qin Haidao, "However, in terms of targeting the international market, we also need to consider these issues. Didn't you say at the meeting today that we cannot compete with fuel vehicles?" The highest level of competition abroad. But in terms of new energy vehicles, we still have opportunities. Since we have opportunities, we must directly aim at the highest end. Not only the battery is better than others, but the appearance and interior of the car must also reach the world Top notch."

"Leaders really have the same hobbies." Zhang Daiwei said in a somewhat teasing tone. The leaders he mentioned naturally included Yang Xinyu, Wang Kaihua and others. At the meeting today, everyone talked about world-class. After the meeting, Qin Hai also talked about world-class. This pursuit of world-class is really in the blood of the Chinese people.

Qin Hai didn't care about Zhang Daiwei's jokes. He has the golden finger of time travel, and now he has relatively strong financial resources. It is really not too ambitious to surpass the world in the field of new energy vehicles. Before that, he had not considered making a new energy vehicle by himself, but after talking with Zhang Daiwei, he felt that there was something to be done about it, so he couldn't help but be eager to try it.

Afterwards, the conversation will be transferred to the technical link. Both of them are engaged in technology, and their knowledge systems are somewhat complementary, so the chat is quite speculative. They chatted until almost 2 o'clock before they got up and prepared to return to the Machinery Committee to continue the morning meeting.

"Old Zhang, don't fire any more cannons at the meeting in the afternoon. Be careful that Mr. Wang will get angry and keep your file, and you will be in trouble." Qin Hai reminded. After the chat just now, the relationship between the two has become very close, so Qin Hai also changed the name of Zhang Daiwei to "Old Zhang". Of course, this old name is only relative to Qin Hai. However, Zhang Daiwei has not made it public enough to dare to call Qin Hai Xiao Qin.

"No, I just hope that the leaders of the Machinery Committee can hear my voice. Since I have already said it, I will pretend to be dumb this afternoon." Zhang Daiwei said.

"Yeah, let's talk about the things we agreed on, and we'll make contact next time." Qin Hai said again.

"Okay, it's a deal." Zhang Daiwei happily agreed.

The two returned to the venue, and Yang Xinyu and others had just returned from the small cafeteria. Everyone had obviously drunk some wine, their faces were glowing red, and their expressions were quite relaxed. Zhang Daiwei didn't want to create trouble for the leader, so he found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, taking out his notebook to cover his face. After Wang Kaihua sat down in his seat, he really turned his head to look, but he didn't see Zhang Daiwei, so he didn't care about it any more.

There was no change in the meeting in the afternoon. To use a cliché, it was a successful conference, a victorious conference. However, due to the episode in the morning, this ambitious research and development plan proposed by various car companies was still put on hold. After Yang Xinyu gave a high evaluation of the plan, he said that the current financial resources of the country are limited, and things need to be done. Do something about it. The goal of a world-class engine is still somewhat difficult for China at present, so don't rush to do it for the time being, and it is better for various companies to focus on the localization of engines for ordinary models.

Of course, in order not to disappoint the representatives attending the meeting, Yang Xinyu still agreed to allocate some special funds to various companies for the pre-research work of high-end engines and new energy vehicles. The amount of these funds is about several hundred Ten thousand up and down, for car companies, it is better than nothing.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think of today's meeting?"

After sending away the representatives of various companies who came to the meeting, Yang Xinyu asked Qin Hai.

"I have seen the faces of these princes." Qin Hai said bluntly.

"Don't say that, these leaders are still very capable. It's impossible to manage such a large company in a hurry." Yang Xinyu corrected Qin Hai's words, "However, it is also the tradition of these companies to ask the central government for money. A leader who doesn’t ask for money is a sign of incompetence. If you’ve worked in a ministry, you know that.”

"So, you already knew that their plan was just to cheat money from the central government?" Qin Hai asked angrily.

Yang Xinyu nodded and said, "Based on what I know about these leaders, I can make a good guess. They are now living a very good life through the production of joint venture brand cars. Products, especially new products that have reached the world-class level, are not very interested. Their motivation for proposing such a plan is nothing more than two aspects. One is to find a project and let the country invest in them; The banner of independent research and development can meet the requirements of superiors. As for catching up with the world's advanced level, there may be a little motivation, but it is definitely not the main thing."

"Then you're still asking them to have a meeting to discuss it, isn't that a waste of time?" Qin Hai said.

Yang Xinyu said: "How can it be said that it is a waste of time? The Machinery Committee also needs to understand the following situation. Since they have proposed such a plan, they will have corresponding reasons. Through this meeting, we can grasp their actual technical status. Judging whether the company has reached the level of impact to the world's first-class level. Also, isn't what the young engineer Zhang said at the meeting today is also very inspiring? If there is no such meeting, how can we hear such opinions? ?”

Qin Haidao: "That's right. I also think that the biggest gain today is getting to know someone like Zhang Daiwei. At noon, I had a private chat with him, and I feel that he is very insightful about the development of the automobile industry. "

"Really?" Yang Xinyu smiled, "You don't want to keep him in your pocket again, do you?"

"I really thought about it that way." Qin Hai also replied with a smile, "However, he already has a place to go. Hongyuan Province wants to start its own automobile industry and is looking for talents everywhere. Zhang Daiwei is also their favorite One of the talents. The temple of our Daqin Group is still too small to accommodate such a big god."

"Are you also planning to build a car?" Yang Xinyu asked a little strangely. Just now he asked Qin Hai if he planned to pry Zhang Daiwei away, it was more of a joke, but from the meaning of Qin Hai's words now, it seems that Qin Hai really wanted to build a car, from Yang Xinyu's heart Said that Qin Hai's plan is really not very optimistic.

"I didn't have this idea before, but after chatting with Zhang Daiwei, I now have a little desire to make new energy vehicles. This is indeed a very promising direction." Qin Hai explained.

"New energy vehicles?" Yang Xinyu frowned, and said, "In terms of development direction, new energy vehicles do have a promising future. But, have you considered the difficulty? Your Daqin Group has done a lot in terms of material technology. Well done, and I very much hope that you can stick to your own direction. If you spend your energy on the car, you might lose sight of the other and lose your footing instead.”

Qin Haidao: "Director Yang reminded me correctly, but we want to develop new energy vehicles because the key technology of new energy vehicles lies in new materials. I chatted with Zhang Daiwei, and he told me that at present, there are The main obstacle to the development of new energy vehicles is the lithium battery technology, and the obstacle to solving the lithium battery technology lies in the positive and negative materials of the battery. In this regard, our School of Materials Science and Engineering has an advantage.

In view of this, I discussed with Zhang Daiwei, we are responsible for solving the material problem of the battery, and he is responsible for solving the technical problem of the whole vehicle. Once we have a breakthrough in battery materials, we will establish a joint venture with Hongyuan Province to jointly produce new energy vehicles. At that time, this enterprise will be dominated by us, and Hongyuan Automobile Factory will only provide cooperation. "

"If this is the case, that would be great." Yang Xinyu said happily, "New energy vehicles are also a technology that the Machinery Committee has been paying attention to, but they can't find a suitable company to undertake the development of this technology. If you can cooperate with Hong It is good news that the original automobile factory cooperates to jointly develop new energy vehicles."

"Since it is a technology that the Machinery Committee has been paying attention to, can Director Yang give us some policy support?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.

"Of course there will be policy support." Yang Xinyu said without hesitation: "We will prepare the car production license for you in advance, and you don't need to bother to apply for it. Also, in the first three years, we will coordinate The financial department will give you tax-free benefits. In addition, in terms of technology, if you need support, we will also arrange for our subordinate enterprises to cooperate with you. In short, new energy vehicles are the direction of the state's key support, and the state will give you a green light all the way to protect you work smoothly.”

"Haha, then my confidence will be even stronger." Qin Hai smiled, "I will go back to Anhe to arrange this matter, and strive to develop a new energy vehicle that reaches the world's advanced level within five years."
