My 1979

After Niu Ju comforted the passengers, he came over to Yangyong and said, "You BMW Group can come to us because we can't let you be wronged. We also closely focus on the work arrangements of the municipal party committee and government and actively contribute to the city's key projects. We will protect the construction and at the same time expand channels to fully promote investment promotion and contribute to the city’s economic construction.”

"Thank you, Niu Ju. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time." Bai He pretended to be grateful, then pointed at Zhang Bing and said, "This is a friend of mine, Zhang Bing."

"Hello, friend." Niu Ju took the initiative to shake hands.

"Hello, Zhang Bing." Zhang Bing also responded cheerfully.

Niu Ju looked at Zhang Bing casually and said with a smile, "Brother, are you from the army?"

Bai He praised, "Niu Ju has good eyesight, can you see this?"

Niu Ju pointed at Yang Yong's arm and said, "Why can't you tell? Look at his elbows. They are covered with calluses, and they are darker than his arms. He must have practiced fighting in the pit. If he studied Sanda or routines in a martial arts school, at most It’s just some nice-looking tendon meat, and one person is definitely no match for three of them.”

Taking notes among the passengers, he was surprised that the skinny Zhang Bing could knock down three tall men.

Zhang Bing said, "Niu Ju has good eyesight. You also retired from the army."

"Yes, yes." Niu Ju laughed loudly, "But without your ability, you won't be able to do it if your training is wasted. You will be out of breath even if you run."

The three of them chatted for a while. Bai He saw that Li He had no intention of meeting, so he said goodbye to Niu Ju without any unnecessary introduction.

Everyone set off on the road again. Although it was still raining, it no longer hindered the view. Driving could avoid potholes in advance.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at BMW Motor Company.

Bai He wanted to open a hotel room for Li He in the city, but Li He refused. For the sake of convenience, it was better to stay in a hotel near the factory. As for the accommodation environment, he actually doesn't have many requirements. The only requirement is that it is clean. If he is forced to pay, he is willing to live in poor conditions.

I took a shower in the hotel, changed my clothes, shirt, tie, and leather shoes, all looking brand new. He probably accepted He Fang's opinion now. He rarely looked sloppy in the workplace.

Because He Fang told him that he was so casual, he was convinced that his subordinates would imitate him.

But under normal circumstances, he still does what he should do.

As soon as he left the room, Bai He said, "Dinner has been arranged, let's eat some first."

"Definitely." Li He touched his stomach, which felt very empty.

Entering the restaurant, I found that there were suddenly many people.

Seeing Li He come in, everyone stood up one after another.

Bai He began to introduce one by one, first pointing to an old man with white hair and said, "Mr. Li, this is Mr. Chen Zutao. He once participated in the Soviet Union's design and construction of FAW. Later, the country decided to form the Second Automobile Works Group. He served as a member of the five-person preparatory team. Chief Automobile Engineer, and successively participated in the planning and design of large-scale projects such as Sichuan Automobile, BAIC, Nanjing Automobile, Jiqi Automobile, Shenyang Automobile, Bei Nei Automobile, Changtuo and other large-scale projects. Later, he participated in the preparation of the China Automobile Industry Corporation and served successively as chief engineer and vice president. Manager, general manager. He retired from the position of chairman of the China Federation of Automobile Manufacturers. Now he is a full-time member of the National Science and Technology Commission. Mr. Chen has always paid attention to the development of China's automobile industry. As soon as we hired him, Mr. Chen did not care about his health. , willing to serve as the chief engineer of BMW."

The polite words were correct after all. In fact, he had put in a lot of effort to hire this old gentleman.

Why?

It’s because they are private companies. Isn’t it a joke for private companies to run car companies?

It was not until later that BMW moved the equipment, R\u0026D materials, and technical drawings from Arrow Auto and Dartz Auto that the old gentleman was willing to come and take a look.

As soon as the results came, it couldn't move forward. This private company needed technology, equipment, and capital. I don't know how it was better than other manufacturers!

"Teacher Chen, please sit down. Thank you for your hard work." Li He was rarely polite. He bent over and helped the old gentleman to the chair.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Chen Zutao is not tall, has white hair, and is in his seventies, but he seems to be in good spirits.

He was very satisfied to receive such respect.

Bai He pointed to a foreigner with a high nose and said in English, "This is Mr. Ludovic, the former chief engineer of Arrow Motors, and the current director of BMW Engineering Research Institute."

"Hello, Mr. Ludovic." Li He smiled and shook hands with the old man. He admired Yang Yong's management style of using one against another. Most of BMW's R\u0026D and engineers came from the former Soviet Union. It was a good idea for Ludovic to manage it. Couldn't be more appropriate.

"Hello, I met you when I was in Ukraine." Ludovic is very tall, but because of his age, his waist is no longer so straight.

"It's an honor to see you again." Li Hezhen couldn't remember. He was somewhat face-blind to foreigners.

"This is Mr. Paul, the former director of the Gorky Dynamics Institute and a scientist at the Soviet Academy of Sciences. He is now the general manager of the Technology Management Department." Yang Yong pointed to a middle-aged man and continued to introduce.

Li He shook hands with everyone introduced by Bai He politely.

At the dinner table, Li He held a beer and said in English, "Thank you all for joining us and for your contribution to BMW. I'll drink this first."

In order to accommodate a few foreigners, he had to use English. Anyway, everyone sitting here can speak English, and some of them are even fluent in Russian.

"Mr. Chen, I would like to ask, how is our current car production progress?" After drinking for three rounds, Li He finally asked the real question.

Chen Zu said, "You also saw our previous trial car, and Mr. Yang said you were not too satisfied?"

Li He smiled and said, "It's just nitpicking, please don't mind."

Although BMW is not poor and has nothing, all the teams formed are brand new and do not have their own development platform. It is conceivable that it is difficult to develop new cars.

This stage is a process of continuous iteration, that is, the process of doing the same thing several times, but this is not a simple repetition, but new ideas are constantly added, new markets, R\u0026D, and manufacturing inputs come in, and then In the process of blending together, each iteration is a challenge to the previous work, or even a subversion. An iterative process is also called a learning cycle.

Different parts have different development times according to their own characteristics in this iterative work. This is mainly to match the time of part verification work, and also to gradually reduce the variables of system development. If the development work is understood as building a building, , some parts are equivalent to the foundation, some are equivalent to the first layer, and some are the roof. If when building the first floor, the foundation has not been laid or has been laid in the wrong place and needs to be modified, the floors above will be considered in vain and will have to be torn down and started all over again.

This is not a simple assembly and stacking of parts.

Chen Zu said, "First of all, we have to make sure that this is a successful truck style. Thanks to the deep technical reserves of Arrow Motors and dartz, it only took us three years from styling development to product development, which also gave us It gives the entire team the opportunity to adjust the course. Of course, as time goes by, the adjustable range becomes narrower and narrower, and now this product is basically finalized.”

He cleared his throat and continued, "What we are currently doing is product verification work. There are probably three rounds of integrated verification work at the vehicle level. The rest of the verification work at the component and subsystem level also follows these three rounds. Run The verification test specifications for the entire vehicle, the test content is different in each round, and the problems discovered are different. After these problems are solved, they will be tested in the next round of verification."

"Thank you for your hard work." Li He was quite satisfied.

Everyone drank and chatted together until ninety o'clock in the evening.
