Military? No, I'm Just A Car Company

"what's the situation?"

Coming to the laboratory of the R&D building, Ye Qiu found Qin Mengyao and asked her what she was looking for.

"Ye Qiu, I have fully mastered the technology of the engine and gearbox, and we have derived several versions of this engine."

"3.0 liters, 3.5 liters, 2.9 liters of displacement, and also made an inline four-cylinder engine, the test data is very good.

Seeing Ye Qiu coming, Qin Mengyao showed Ye Qiu the research results of this period.

After she understood all the technology, she began to build the engine prototype purely by hand, and the test data was very good.

And also derived several different displacement machines.

Wuling's in-line six-cylinder engine is internally code-named B01.

Taking B01 as the main body, Qin Mengyao made three non-displacement six-cylinder engines, b02, b02 and b04.

And also made an L4 inline four-cylinder engine code-named B05.

certainly,

The technology used by each engine has been adjusted, and the main structure is the same, but the interior is very different.

"This inline four-cylinder engine, I have sat and tested, can be adjusted to a maximum power of 300KW, a limit torque of 500 Nm, and the horsepower can easily exceed 400 hp."

"Because the motor is added to the camshaft and the traditional belt transmission is cancelled, ISG's 48V mild hybrid can bring very good fuel economy to this four-cylinder engine."

In the laboratory,

Several engines were being tested, and Ye Qiu came to the four-cylinder machine, which was much smaller than the inline six-cylinder engine.

"The data is very good, but in the future, when it is used in a new car, it does not need high data, what is needed is fuel economy and stability."

The theoretical limit data for the four-cylinder engine is very strong.

But in the future, it is not necessary to carry such powerful power and torque on new cars.

Nowadays, the mainstream displacement settings of four-cylinder machines are both 1.5 liters and 2.0 liters. With the addition of a turbocharger system, even if the power is set at about 165kw, with the addition of a turbo, a very powerful horsepower can be released. The torque is generally set at around 360 Nm, which is sufficient for use.

Volkswagen's most classic EA888 series 2.0T engine is also divided into two versions.

Low power 140kw, 320 Nm, 190 hp.

High power 165kw, 350 Nm, 224 horsepower.

The 2.0t engine of domestic mainstream manufacturers is almost the same.

Because of the more than 200 horsepower, it is enough to pull a 1.7-ton family car with a weight of about 25.

If it is a heavier SUV, the horsepower can be adjusted to more than 250 horses, which is absolutely enough.

As for larger bodies, such as D-class cars and large SUVs, a 3.0T engine is required.

"I came to you mainly to let you refer to the turbocharger of our engine, which brand we use, as well as the chassis and four-wheel drive system. We have encountered great difficulties."

Qin Mengyao had a hard time choosing a supplier.

Especially the turbo system.

An engine is an engine, and a turbo is a turbo.

It's two systems.

"The problem lies in the turbocharger, our engine cannot match the traditional turbocharger at all, because the internal structure of the engine has changed too much, so if we use it, we have to ask the supplier to target our engine. Development of a new turbo.

"This is a very expensive fee, and you need to ask for your consent. The old beauty's business has always been black."

"I contacted them, and they said that they could help us with research and development, but they needed 100 million US dollars.

One hundred million dollars.

More than 6 million RMB.

So much money, just to develop an engine-specific turbo system.

Is this black.

Yes,

And it is black from head to toe, even the soles of the feet are black.

"Which one are you looking for?"

Ye Qiu was curious as to which supplier it was, so shameless.

"Borg Warner..."

Understood.

Today, the best turbine supplier in the world is BorgWarner, which is a technical auto parts supplier.

The technology of the products has always been the most advanced in the world.

In addition, it is Honeywell, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Dr. Mahler, these few.

Turbochargers for Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and many other models are provided by BorgWarner.

Volkswagen's 1.8T and 2.0T turbos are all powered by BorgWarner.

It is a very domestic independent brand of turbines, and most of them use BorgWarner.

People with good technology will naturally ask for high prices.

Although Wuling has an engine, the turbine and the engine are two systems. The domestic turbine technology, like the engine, is very backward.

The domestic turbine invested and developed by Liji can only be used on its own Emgrand series of cheap models.

Because the turbo lag is imagined, it is very serious, and the turbo will make the engine speed reach a very high level.

BorgWarner's turbo, the reason why many brands use.

It is because the turbo intervenes quickly and the recycling efficiency is high. While increasing the horsepower of the engine, it can effectively reduce the speed and save fuel economy.

a billion dollars,

Ye Qiu naturally won't come out.

Last year, Porsche asked BorgWarner to develop a special turbo for the Porsche 3.9T engine.

Now it's Wuling's turn, and if you open your mouth, it will cost 100 million US dollars.

"He is beautiful, and in the future will kick BorgWarner out of our brand's supply chain, a bunch of shameless bastards. 95

Ye Qiu snorted coldly.

I am very disdainful for the shameless face of these people.

"Well, you are the boss, you have the final say, if you don't use BorgWarner, then use Honeywell, the technical level of the two companies is about the same.

"However, Honeywell also wants money, they want 80 million dollars.

Yan Ran shook her head, and Ye Qiu wanted to hit someone in one sentence.

"Then don't want both of them. People from these sub-enterprises are completely black."

One is 100 million, the other is 80 million.

These two companies are American companies, and they are really ruthless.

Shameless enough.

You said that you want a few million dollars, so I will put up with it. It is very simple for you and you to develop a matching turbine. It can be done by adjusting the current turbine product structure according to the structure of the engine.

It can be done in a few days.

The sky is full of asking prices, and I am not allowed to counter-offer.

It just doesn't make sense.

"Let me just say, Ye Qiu will definitely not agree to give the money. The appearance of these two manufacturers is too ugly."

"The Great Wall also encountered extortion from BorgWarner at the beginning. For the 3.0T engine that Great Wall has never used so far, it is specially looking for a matching turbine developed by BorgWarner."

"As a result, he was extorted by the other party for 100 million US dollars. In the end, President Wei endured it, but he didn't expect that just after it was completed, a double-points policy appeared. This 3.0T engine has never been used by Great Wall in China."5

"It is said that President Wei was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

Yan Ran told Ye Qiu something he didn't know.

Ye Qiu was surprised,

It turns out that Uncle Wei has such a pitiful experience.

In vain, the other party extorted 100 million US dollars. As a result, the turbo was developed, but because of the double points, this engine was delayed in the market.

"The American system is not reliable, so we can only use the German system.

The old beauty's turbo is technically the best, no doubt about it.

But it's too expensive, Ye Qiu doesn't plan to use it.

Bosch's turbo is also good, although it is slightly worse than BorgWarner's technology, but in terms of performance, it is not much worse.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and many large-displacement models all use Bosch turbochargers.

"What if the Bosch side is also dark?"

Qin Mengyao said something that left Ye Qiu speechless.

really,

These foreign manufacturers have the same black heart.

On the surface, the honest and honest Chinese people are much darker than the old beauty in their hearts.

At this moment, the secretary suddenly called Ye Qiu.

"Boss, Mr. Simon, Audi's Asia-Pacific president, came to the company and said he was looking for you. 35

Um?

President of Audi Asia Pacific

"I see, you are welcome, I will go back immediately. 35

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu was very suspicious, why did the people from Audi come to him.

"What's the matter, who is looking for you?

Qin Mengyao and Yan Ran were very curious.

Ye Qiu told them that it was Audi's Asia-Pacific president looking for him.

Qin Mengyao was puzzled: "Simon? What is he asking you for?

Yan Ran thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I guess... the other party is here because of the plasma battery."

To be able to get Audi's Asia Pacific president, uninvited, must be for something.

At present, what Wuling can do is the plasma battery.

"Probably, let's go take a look first.

The turbo thing, put it aside for now, and wait for Ye Qiu to turn around and find an acquaintance to go to Bosch to ask.

He returned to the newly constructed office building.

Brand new office building, very cool and beautiful design.

A modern building with a total of 9 floors, a circular building.

Ye Qiu's office is just east of the top floor.

Here is his special office area as chairman.

Nearly 2,000 square meters of exclusive office area for the chairman.

Equipped with office, lounge, secretary room, fitness room, recreation room, and even a dedicated kitchen.

When Ye Qiu returned to the office, he saw a white-haired old man with a standard European face sitting on the sofa waiting.

Beside him, there were three people, two whites and one yellow.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, I'm Xu Ming, an engineer from FAW Audi. I'm sorry for the uninvited visit today. Mr. Simon, our president of Audi Asia Pacific, would like to discuss with you an important cooperation."

Xu Ming was the only yellow race, a native of Xia.

Ye Qiu was also taken aback when he heard his name.

This guy is a high-level executive of FAW Audi.

Audi is a joint venture with FAW in China.

However, the management and technical staff of FAW Audi are all dispatched by Audi headquarters.

FAW is only responsible for production and sales.

And every year, 70% of domestic Audi profits are taken away by the Chinese, while FAW can only earn 30%.

That's it,

The annual profit of FAW Audi has reached tens of billions.

As can be imagined,

How lucrative is Audi.

"Mr. Ye, please excuse my unsolicited visit, my name is Simon, haha."

Simon looked quite old, at least in his sixties.

Compared with Asians, Europeans generally age faster. At the age of more than 60, his face is already wrinkled.

But it can be seen that Simon's mentality is very good.

Seeing Ye Qiu coming in, he immediately got up and shook hands with Ye Qiu.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face, Ye Qiu also responded with a smile:

"Hello Mr. Simon, please take a seat.

After the two sides sat down, they chatted for a while and complimented each other in business.

Although Simon speaks German, Ye Qiu can communicate without barriers.

As an automotive engineer, the most basic thing is to be proficient in English and German, because many automotive documents and books are written in both English and German.

"Mr. Ye's German is really good. Of course, what I personally admire most is Mr. Ye's ability to save Wuling, a car company from the brink of bankruptcy, to the current popularity of Wuling and Chitu models. It's really great."

It's okay for Ye Qiu to listen to each other's praise.

"It's a prize, I think Mr. Simon came to me, not to praise me.

"Haha... Indeed, indeed."

Simon laughed happily, the old man seemed to be a person who likes to laugh very much, and the smile on his face has not stopped since Ye Qiu came in.

"To be honest, I came to Mr. Ye to cooperate with you."

Speaking of business, Simon's expression became serious.

Ye Qiu looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitched, a little playful: "Cooperation? Is it for the plasma battery...

"That's right." Simon nodded and praised: "Mr. Ye's guess is very accurate. I really received a request from the headquarters that I want to discuss cooperation with Mr. Ye about the plasma battery. ."

Since the appearance of Wuling's plasma battery, Tesla's stock price has collapsed.

He even asked the Black Palace to issue a special ban to control Wuling's chips in order to prevent the Chitu brand from being listed.

All car companies in the world understand that the plasma battery will definitely enable Chitu to rise and become the dominant position of pure electric vehicles in the future.

It is only a matter of time before Tesla is pulled down from the altar.

Simon, who is at home, is very clear.

The order volume of plasma batteries in the last two months has exceeded 150,000.

Within two months of listing, the order volume exceeded 150,000.

What is this concept.

When Tesla was at its most brilliant, the global sales volume in a month was only 120,000 units.

This is global sales.

In the Xia Kingdom, when Tesla was at its peak, there were only about 49.2 million units a month.

But Chitu, Xia Guo alone, has an order of 150,000 units in two months.

Counting down to 75,000 units sold in a month.

You must know that this is a new car brand. It has just been launched. With the passage of time, when the Chitu brand is deployed all over the world, the sales will be absolutely terrible.

What is the most fundamental reason.

It's a plasma battery.

Car companies all over the world understand how terrifying this technology is.

In the future direction of new energy, most car companies are now developing towards pure electric vehicles.

Audi is no exception.

There are already policies in place in Europe.

After 2040, the production and sales of fuel vehicles will be completely stopped, which means that after 20 years, fuel vehicles will withdraw from the stage of history.

"Mr. Ye, to be honest, there are actually very different views within the entire European car companies about the future development direction of new energy. 35

"Mercedes-Benz and BMW, one advocates the use of water energy, and Mercedes-Benz is already developing an in-house water energy powertrain.

"BMW is leaning towards the research and development of hydrogen power, and cooperates with Toyota to develop a hydrogen power system together."

"But we, Audi and parent company Volkswagen, are more inclined to electric power."

"Because electric energy is infinite and will not be exhausted, and in a short period of time, charging stations will be popularized all over the world, we concluded that electric energy is the most stable development direction for automobiles in the next few decades.

Simon told Ye Qiu about the future development direction of automotive energy.

Exactly as he said.

There are great differences between domestic and foreign auto companies regarding the future direction of auto energy.

Toyota, addicted to hydrogen power can not extricate themselves.

So Toyota doesn't make pure electric cars.

Mercedes-Benz doesn't like pure electric either. Ye Qiu has also heard of it. It is said that Mercedes-Benz has developed a complete hydrodynamic system internally.

That's right.

It's water energy.

However, this water is different from ordinary drinking water.

Ye Qiu didn't know what kind of water it was, but the technology must have been developed, and the experimental stage worked well.

In one is electricity.

"So Mr. Simon came to me because he wanted our Wuling's plasma battery technology?"

Ye Qiu asked without a smile.

Where do you know, Simon waved his hand and said: "It's not technology, to be honest, Audi headquarters has already bought several new Chitu cars back and dismantled the plasma battery research component structure. 35

Speaking of this, he shrugged and said with self-deprecating: "But unfortunately, our engineers simply don't have the ability to manufacture, and even they don't understand how you convert solid-state battery materials into pure liquid.

"Don't be afraid to tell a joke, our battery expert from Audi has been mentally ill because of thinking about this problem and is now receiving treatment."

good guy.

This is really a joke.

However, Ye Qiu can also understand that the people of the country are the most rigorous, especially in terms of technology, their persistence is really terrible.

I couldn't figure it out, I kept thinking about it, thinking I was mentally ill, but I didn't even think about it.

Strange to understand.

The principle of the plasma converter is beyond the times.

"So what we mean is that if we want to cooperate with Wuling, as long as Wuling supplies us with plasma batteries, the price is whatever you want.
