That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1214 He Needs an Excuse
“Maybe there was a misunderstanding in our prior communication! In fact, engine electronic fuel injection technology is also a new technology in our lighthouse, and it has no advantages in terms of performance or cost.
In addition, this system is very difficult to manufacture. Even in lighthouses, not just any company can produce it independently. Even if we give you the technical solution, it will be difficult for you to produce it.
We can provide you with the most mature, reliable and cost-effective solution. I don’t understand why you are so persistent.”

"Mr. Weiran, we came here only after we were sure that you were able to help us. We flew across half the world to get what we need, not to listen to you tell us about various difficulties."

"Let's take a break before we talk! You can go to the lounge and have a cup of coffee and take a break."

Faced with the aggressive Elena and Gary, Weiran, who was a technical man, quickly frowned and simply announced "half-time break".

This is not a good sign, but Li Ye and others are also helpless.

Just two years ago, a branch factory also had a debate on whether to independently develop an electronic fuel injection engine. In the end, Li Ye insisted and everyone chose the electronic fuel injection system with which they had no experience.

There are so many people in the factory now, and the electronic technicians from Mr. Ni have been busy for a year or two. If we go back to the carburetor route, then what is the point of our original persistence?

At present, the Santana in the mainland still uses carburetor engines, which are more popular with drivers than some electronic fuel injection engines. Some old drivers even say that "Electric fuel injection is not something that dogs will drive".
However, Li Ye is very clear that in a few years, all passenger car engines in the mainland will be electronically fueled. If they still stick to the carburetor route at this time, they will only fall behind others.

The people from the first branch arrived at the lounge of Weilan Company. No one spoke a word, and no one was willing to taste the coffee served by the other party's secretary.

But after taking a sip of coffee, Elena looked around like a clever hound.
She looked carefully at the coffee machine, desserts, even the decorations on the wall and the seats under everyone's butts.

Wu Yan asked in a low voice: "What is she doing?"

Li Ye whispered, "She is analyzing the hidden situation of Weilan Company through details. For example, coffee is one of the most important items in the Lighthouse Company. From the taste and brand, we may be able to tell whether the company is short of money or whether the employees are impetuous."

"Oh~"

Wu Yan suddenly realized, "If our factory uses high-quality liquor to entertain guests, will they think we are about to go bankrupt?"

"That's about right! But we have a saying that we should not show off our wealth and live a simple and frugal life, but it's hard to say that here."

Li Ye couldn't say for sure, after all, this was just a rumor he had heard in his previous life.

In these Western companies, many employees cannot live without coffee at work. They drink tons of coffee as if it were water. They look as energetic as cows, but in fact they have developed a serious psychological dependence. Therefore, if the quality of the coffee is too poor, it will be difficult for employees to tolerate it.

Sure enough, after a careful investigation, Elena said to Li Ye with certainty: "They will give in. The only difference is how much they give in."

However, Elena then continued, "According to my investigation and analysis, what Weiran said just now is still very sincere, because the electronic injection technology is indeed a new technology in the lighthouse.
Even if Weiran is willing to help you, he may still face some unpredictable risks."

Li Ye looked at Elena: "Unpredictable risks? What do you mean?"

But Elena spread her hands and made a helpless gesture: "Mr. Li, you should understand that this country has export controls. Weilan can provide solutions, but it may not be able to provide manufacturing equipment."

"."

Li Ye knew that what Elena said was true.

Even decades later, a large portion of the processing equipment in Chery's engine production line was imported.

Why do we say "even if I give you the blueprint, you still can't make it"? Actually, it's because there are too many factors involved.

I have calculated a suitable parameter that can solve the problem of power thermal attenuation, but your machine tool cannot achieve the processing accuracy on the drawing, so isn't it just a piece of waste paper?

However, Li Ye was not desperate, but said calmly: "If they restrict the technology of Japan nearly ten years ago as the latest technology, I can understand why Detroit has gradually declined."

"Oh, Mr. Li, you must not say such things in front of Mr. Weiran. His father lost an eye in the Pacific War, so..."

"So what? So he's not convinced that the Japanese fool is better than him, right?"

Li Ye looked at Elena and said, "My grandfather was also a veteran of that war. Besides, the Japanese now want us to accept their technology route, but you should know that the Japanese are not so kind."

Elena's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, the Japanese are very cunning. Maybe I can talk to Mr. Weiran alone."

Elena walked away in her high heels. Wu Yan asked Li Ye in a low voice, "Do you think that Weieran will make concessions to us because of personal feelings?"

"will not."

Li Ye smiled and said, "But he will use feelings as an excuse to cover up their current predicament. They need money, new markets, and us. They just can't let go of the airs of the world's largest country." During the meeting just now, Weiran showed an unconcealable fatigue, which did not escape Li Ye's eyes at all.

Being a head of a family is very tiring. His sons and grandsons are all arrogant and proud, and their stomachs are growling with hunger. They are unwilling to give in to their opponents on the other side of the wall. However, the head of the family has to consider what the dozen or so people in the house are going to eat tomorrow.

Once there is no food, the sons and grandsons are young and have no worries, and they can escape the famine to other places if they are agile, but the head of the family cannot bear to leave the bottles and jars at home.

So Weltan needed a reason to convince his team to lower their noble heads.

Sure enough, when the talks resumed after the break, Weiran and his colleagues' attitude towards Li Ye and others became much better.

"You also made enemies with the Japanese in that war, right? The Japanese will never be tamed. They have been very arrogant in recent years. We really should teach them a lesson again."

In the 1990s, Japan was at its peak of clamoring to "buy America". Although the stock market had begun to turn downward, housing prices still rose.
Therefore, the Japanese now still act like "I am rich" in front of the Americans, which makes people like Weian very unhappy.

Someone once said that the people who most wish the lighthouse owner to die must be the Japanese.

And the lighthouse keeper is not a fool, how could he not feel it?
Therefore, the contradiction between the two sides is irreconcilable. If Li Ye could choose Lighthouse's technology instead of Riben's, Weiran and others would feel much more comfortable.

But in the end, they only came up with a compromise that was not satisfactory.

"In fact, in terms of electronic fuel injection technology, our Lighthouse is stronger than Japan. The engine of Japan's Toyota Hiace car uses the electronic fuel injection system of our Lighthouse Delphi company.

Therefore, we believe that you should adopt mature technical solutions, which can not only significantly shorten the R&D cycle, but also ensure stable and reliable supply."

Li Ye frowned and said unwillingly: "What we need is an unrestricted technical solution, not one that depends on other people's wishes."

“It’s really difficult,”

Weieran said frankly: "If I want to make money, I can put together a set of technical solutions for you, but please believe me, the subsequent adjustment and compatibility will drive you crazy."

Li Ye understood.

I don't want an expensive and stereotyped brand computer, I just want to build a machine with targeted performance enhancements.
But now is not the era where you can buy high-quality accessories with unified standards by clicking on a certain website decades later.

Computers these days have only just begun to unify various protocol standards! Do you expect the various electronic components you put together to work perfectly together?
The sensors from this company and the fuel injectors from that company are pieced together. Once they can't be adapted, no one will admit it is their responsibility and a rollover is likely to occur.

This is just like the air battle in which Prime Minister Modi killed the Rafale thirty-five years later.

The early warning aircraft, ground control system, and air combat aircraft belong to three different countries, and their communication protocols and codes are incompatible.
Unless the three countries all disclose their respective protocols and codes to you, the conversion can be barely successful. But why would they disclose these military protocols and codes to an outsider like you?

During normal training, it seems that shouting through a loudspeaker can help connect the troops together, but when the fight really starts, will it be in time to shout?

You are playing games with foreigners on a foreign server. Because you cannot speak the same language, you ask your girlfriend to help you translate.

Doesn't this sound pretty cool? See what level my girlfriend is?
But reporting positions, setting up guns, throwing grenades, and so many other tactical coordinations change rapidly. By the time your girlfriend has finished explaining things to the foreign teammates on the opposite side, you would have already died eight hundred times.

So the ignorant Modi has no reason to blame for his messed up performance, he just killed the Rafale which was not that bad.

It is just a node in the air combat system, but it has to bear all the blame for the failure. Wouldn't it be better not to take the blame like this?
When Modi bought the Rafale, someone pointed out that the Rafale could not form 100% combat effectiveness in the hands of White Elephant.

Because when the Rafale was brushing up its battle records, it was the Lighthouse that provided it with electronic support. Without the Lighthouse, its own country's system would be incomplete.

So it is a bit unfair. If the lighthouse is destroyed, if we can give it 100% support,

Even if it can't defeat Tokyo University's J-10, it shouldn't be as embarrassing as it is now!
You've been knocked to the ground by someone, at least kick your legs! How can you just pretend to be dead?
Can you please not let me be the only one who can defeat the enemy? I want to develop and surpass myself.

Not exciting at all.
I'm too embarrassed to see anyone!

While Li Ye was in a trance, Wu Yan, Lao Jie and others had already discussed several issues with Wei'an. Li Ye clearly felt the joy of Lao Jie and Wu Yan.
