Chapter 718 Exhibition
How the leaders talk is the business of the leaders. Zhang Qihang put all his energy into the Capital International Auto Show in June. He knows very well that he does not have much say in this kind of matter. Good is your foothold capital.

And the development of things is indeed like this. When the provincial and municipal leaders looked at Zhang Qihang and the management team of the entire Huateng Industrial Group he led, it seemed that they were not affected by this incident. He gave a very high evaluation, thinking that Comrade Zhang Qihang is an outstanding comrade who can devote all his energy to work without being affected by the company's changes at this time.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was June.

As the top domestic auto show event that Huateng Industrial Group participated in, Zhang Qihang attached great importance to this auto show and personally led a team to the capital to participate in the exhibition.

As newbies participating in the exhibition for the first time, facing these domestic and foreign automakers and agents, the employees of Huateng Industrial Group were still a little apprehensive at first: Do you dare to believe it?Not to mention luxury cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln and Cadillac, even sports car brands such as Ferrari, which is beyond our common people's reach, have come to participate in the exhibition. Competing with these top foreign car manufacturers on the same stage is very stressful!

But when the exhibition was halfway through, everyone gradually felt the difference between our company and other exhibitors: Our booth seems to be more foreign and high-end than other booths?
At first, everyone thought it was their own illusion, but when the booths were arranged one after another, looking at the employees of other exhibitors who came to their booths one after another, everyone felt that their previous feelings seemed to be correct: our booth is More Western than other booths...

why?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, a thought gradually arises in everyone's hearts, and everyone can't help discussing it in a low voice...

"Look at those people wearing SAIC uniforms. They seem to be really envious of our designs. I remember our booth was designed by Mr. Zhang himself?"

"Well, that's right, Mr. Zhang designed it."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang is so good. Not only can we design such a beautiful car, but we can also design such a beautiful booth."

"This is called one method, ten thousand methods..."

…………

The envious eyes of colleagues are the best affirmation for themselves. At this moment, the uneasiness in the hearts of employees disappeared, replaced by strong pride: Our design is even envied by these domestic colleagues. What else can we do? worried?
Finally, someone couldn't bear it any longer and came over to say hello to the comrades of Huateng Industrial Group: "Hi comrades, we are from Changan Automobile, and your booth is well arranged."

"Thank you," the other party is also an old state-owned enterprise, and he is still his senior. Huateng Industrial Group naturally wants to give the other party face. The comrade with the highest level on the scene immediately stepped forward and chatted with the other party: "Just now I went out to transfer After walking around, your booth in Chang'an is well arranged."

"So I thought it was okay, but when I compared it with you, I felt that our booth was far behind yours," said the man from Chang'an, and handed him a business card at the same time: "Get to know each other, my name is Huang Ke, it looks like I should be a little older than you brother, just call me Brother Huang."

Looking at the business card that said "Deputy General Manager of Chang'an Automobile Sales Corporation", the comrade in charge of the reception at Huateng Industrial Group also quickly took out his business card and handed it to the other party: "Hello, Mr. Huang, I am our Huateng The on-site person in charge of Tencent Group."

Looking at the business card with the name "Tian Hui, Deputy Manager of the Administration Department of Huateng Industrial Group" in his hand, Huang Ke couldn't help curling his lips secretly: the deputy director of the office is the deputy director of the office, what "deputy manager of the administration department"?
The slander is all the slander, after knowing that the other party is also a middle-level and high-level executive in Huateng Industrial Group, the smile on Huang Ke's face became wider. He nodded repeatedly, and at the same time put the business card carefully and straight into the pocket of the half-sleeved shirt : "Brother Tian, ​​let me take the liberty to ask, which company did you hire to design this booth for you? Compared with your booth, our booth in Chang'an is simply unreadable."

"Hehe... The overall design of our booth was done by Mr. Zhang himself,"

Hearing what Huang Ke said, Tian Hui's face almost burst into laughter: How proud are you!

"So it was Mr. Zhang who did it himself? It's... really amazing," Huang Ke was a little surprised, shaking his head while saying: "No, it's not amazing anymore, it's amazing!"

Zhang Qihang is very good at design, which has been spread in the domestic automobile field, and Huang Ke has heard of it, but what Huang Ke didn't expect is that Zhang Qihang not only has a good design in rigorous engineering design, but also This kind of design that is more inclined to art and aesthetics is quite good.

No, it's not quite a set problem anymore, but Zhang Qihang's performance is simply amazing!
The kind that is so amazing that the eyeballs of the whole place can be shocked. Although it is still time to set up the exhibition, and there are still three days before the exhibition starts, Huang Ke is sure that when the exhibition officially starts, this booth of Huateng Industrial Group must be the best. An eye-catching booth...

At least one of them.

It's just a pity. Huang Ke originally thought that if an advertising company in Beijing helped Huateng Industrial Group design the booth, Chang'an could also go to this company to cooperate with it next year, even if the design fee is higher, it doesn't matter. It's just that I didn't expect that it was designed by Zhang Qihang, so there's nothing I can do about it.

Fortunately, apart from this matter, Huang Ke came here, there are actually other things...

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Huang Ke asked Tian Hui: "Brother Tian, ​​I would like to ask, everyone has been rumoring that your group bought some engine technology from Honda, is this true? "

"..."

Hearing Huang Ke's words, Tian Hui frowned immediately. He looked at Huang Ke and said seriously: "Manager Huang, our group has indeed obtained their F-series engine technology from Honda Motor, but this We didn’t buy the technology with money, but Mr. Zhang exchanged his design with Honda’s.”

"Change it?! What did you use to change it?"

Huang Ke exclaimed: He is not stupid, so he naturally knows the difference between buying and changing.

"There is nothing we can't say," Huang Ke said proudly: "Our boss Zhang designed a new automatic transmission, which was chosen by Honda, and Honda had to use their most advanced F series engine. Come and exchange the design of this automatic transmission with us, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Qihang has never asked everyone to keep this matter secret, but in Huang Ke's view, we can use our own technology to exchange the technology of Dongying people. This kind of thing should be more proud and proud, and we should publicize it more. No need to hide it.

Huang Ke was taken aback!
He was really surprised. Before that, he had indeed heard similar rumors, saying that Huateng Industrial Group used a design patent to exchange engine technology from Honda Motor, but Huang Ke had always been concerned about these rumors. Sneering, as for the reason, it is also very simple: Honda Motor is a world-class civilian car manufacturer, what kind of technology does it have, and you want to exchange technology with your Huateng Industrial Group?
But now, the deputy director of the office of the Huateng Industrial Group in front of me... oh, no, the deputy manager of the administration department actually told himself that they didn't humbly beg Honda or buy any outdated technology from Honda. Instead, he directly exchanged his own design for the full set of technology of the engine that Honda is using!
As the vice president of sales of Changan Automobile, Huang Ke still has some understanding of Honda's F series engine. He knows that it is an in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine with an all-aluminum structure. The engine displacement is 1.8 liters, 2.0 liters, and 2.2 liters. The four models with 2.3 liters are the most powerful engines of Honda cars today. The Accord sedans imported to China by Honda are equipped with F20 and F23 engines.

Thinking of this, Huang Ke took a deep breath and asked Tian Hui: "Brother Tian, ​​I would like to ask, since your Huateng Group has obtained the engine technology from Honda, you will definitely mass-produce it, right?" ?”

Tian Hui nodded affirmatively: "Of course."

"Since this is the case, then I don't ask when you will be able to mass-produce it. Can I ask if you have any external plans for your engine?"

"Ok?"

Tian Hui looked at Huang Ke with some surprise, and said, "Boss Huang, your Changan is either a van or an Alto now, you can't use such a large-displacement engine, right?"

This is also the place where Tian Hui is puzzled. The current Changan Automobile, whether it is a Changan van or a Changan Alto, is equipped with a 0.8-liter in-line three-cylinder gasoline engine. They asked whether this engine from Huateng Industrial Group is for sale. What is the use?Could it be that they plan to install a 2.0 displacement engine on the van or Alto?

Huang Ke smiled slightly, and didn't hide it: "Our main products are vans and small Altos right now, but even brother companies like yours that haven't developed for a long time have started to make cars. As a veteran military enterprise in Chang'an , can’t just produce vans and small Altos?”

It's the same thing...

Tian Hui didn't expect his plan to produce cars to be able to hide from established car manufacturers such as Chang'an Automobile. You have gone to the Ministry of Machinery Industry to apply for a car production qualification, so who else can you hide?Not to mention that the comrades of the Ministry of Machinery Industry have been full of praise for the car designed by Zhang Qihang since they came back from the visit of Huateng Industrial Group. From this perspective, Changan Automobile was stimulated by this news and wanted to make a car. , is also perfectly reasonable.

Nodding his head, Tian Hui said: "Mr. Zhang never said whether these engines are purely for our own use or sold to others at the same time, but our Huateng Industrial Group has always had a tradition of selling engines to others. I personally think that in the future After this engine is produced, in addition to satisfying our own use, if there is sufficient production capacity, it should also be provided to various brother units.”

Huang Ke was not surprised by Tian Hui's statement, and he didn't even doubt it at all.

Huateng Industrial Group not only has a tradition of selling engines, but the most fundamental reason why they can develop to the current scale in such a short period of time is that when various motorcycle manufacturers are still cherishing their own engines , they took the lead in becoming a motorcycle powertrain supplier, and supported a large number of motorcycle manufacturers, so that relying on these to provide motorcycle manufacturers with engines, Huateng Industrial Group sells [-]% of motorcycle powertrains every year The number is in the millions!

In addition to the powertrain of motorcycles, they have also established an engine and gearbox production company with Dongying Kawasaki Motorcycles, specializing in the sale of small-displacement engines and gearboxes for vans, and now even provide rear wheels for vans Drive axle assembly, so that many automobile manufacturers from all over the country now come to Huateng Industrial Group to purchase engines, gearboxes and drive axle assemblies-after solving the engine, gearbox and drive axle, the van will only have A case, wiring harness and lamp set, for these car manufacturers, it is not difficult to buy these things.

Now, Tian Hui said that they will also provide this Honda engine in the future, Huang Ke thinks that this is almost a sure thing... In fact, if he hadn't guessed Tian Hui's answer, Huang Ke would not have come to talk to Tian Hui chat.

But before Huang Ke could speak, Tian Hui continued, "But Mr. Huang, there is something I must tell you first."

Huang Ke nodded and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"According to the previous agreement between our group and Honda Motor, the Honda F-series engine produced by our Huateng Industrial Group cannot have the logo of Honda Motor or any logo or logo related to Honda Motor, so..."

"I understand what you mean," Huang Ke nodded, "It's okay, and that's not what we value."

Tian Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you can understand."

........................

After Zhang Qihang came back, Tian Hui immediately reported the situation to Zhang Qihang.

After Tian Hui finished speaking, Zhang Qihang smiled: "It seems that we have put a lot of pressure on the big brother Chang'an."

Tian Hui also laughed: "I think it's the same, Mr. Zhang, look at this..."

Knowing what Tian Hui wanted to ask, Zhang Qihang waved his hand: "Well, if there are people who come to ask about this these days, you can answer them all. All of our engines can be sold, but we only sell engines and transmissions. However, if everyone cooperates happily, we may consider separating the engine part in the future, setting up a separate powertrain production company, and selling certain shares depending on the situation.”
