Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1239 Give Me One (4k)

Although I feel confused about the prosperity, but when I think about it carefully, what Commissioner Gao said is not wrong at all, it is the fact.

At least from a technical perspective, this is true. As for how it actually drives, it depends on how hard you work. Do you really want someone to personally do the details for you? And the four-link is actually very detailed. The specific adjustment depends on the skills of your comrades.

"Once we have this car, we will have basically no rivals, at least in the half of the market in the countries of the Economic Assistance Council. We all know that Comrade Beifang's own cars are actually average. But you have to pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights. In this regard, the 12th Ministry of Machine Building has more experience. While you can fully communicate with the Bureau of Standards and Regulations, you can also learn more from the 12th Ministry of Machine Building." Gao Zhendong said to Beijing Automobile Works. Now he is qualified to suggest who to go to "learn" from.

Intellectual property protection may not be very adequate at the current stage, which means there are situations where people do not acknowledge their rights. But that doesn’t matter. It is a bargaining chip that may only be used decades later when the reckoning comes. But having it is better than having nothing.

As for issues such as the limited protection period of intellectual property rights, in fact, as long as the original intellectual property rights are in your own hands, you can do a lot of things with it. For example, a certain mouse company is a master in this regard.

The director of Beijing Automotive Factory nodded repeatedly. They had heard that the 12th Ministry of Machinery had many unique businesses, which were closely related to the protection of intellectual property rights. They could not talk about this with domestic comrades, but they were not so polite with foreign comrades.

"You can protect the intellectual property rights of three-link and five-link on the basis of four-link, and consolidate your own technical moat." Gao Zhendong added. In fact, the first multi-link in history was five-link, but there is no other way. The car produced by Qianshan in the previous life was four-link, so it doesn't matter. The effect is similar, and the rest is up to the comrades to play.

"Chief Engineer Gao, if we have to make so many suspensions at once, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on funding, time and progress, right?" The director of the Beijing Automotive Factory felt that this matter was a bit troublesome, mainly because of limited conditions.

Gao Zhendong looked at him with a smile and almost blurted out, "Come here, there is an honest man here."

Seeing his expression, the chief engineer of the 11th Ministry of Machine Building seemed to understand and coughed: "Well, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just launch it first and then adjust it slowly. Besides, we have so many factories in our department. You can concentrate on the most mature four-link system and let the other ones be undertaken by brother units." Commissioner Gao's meaning was very clear. In fact, it was to occupy the position first.

The director of Beijing Automotive Factory also came to his senses a little bit. Hey~ ...

"No, no, our factory's technical strength is still good and we should be able to handle it." The director of Beijing Automobile Factory said with a smile.

Hehe, about this matter, there is a saying that goes, it’s your responsibility!

"You, aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed?" The chief engineer smiled at the director of the Beijing Automobile Factory. He knew very well what the other person was thinking.

"Don't worry, our comrades in the factory have a good appetite."

The chief engineer smiled and shook his head, then turned to Gao Zhendong and said, "Commissioner Gao, I understand what you mean. The general direction you mentioned is the layout of the car models. We need to develop a complete set of models from high to low to form a comprehensive product line."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. Different car models can satisfy different users. We strive to build the most suitable car for each user within the constraints of their needs."

His words are very roundabout. The slightly sensitive issue of car classification has changed completely when he said it in this way. Different cars are made based on the different needs of different users. You can tell me whether cost demand is a demand or not.

"Well, that makes sense. We can't just treat it as a one-size-fits-all. Some people really don't need a car that long and big, nor do they want it to run that fast." The chief engineer of the 11th Ministry of Machine Building was also very interesting. He only talked about long, big and fast, and nothing else.

Gao Zhendong had an expression of fellow thinkers: "That's what I mean. Look, we have this car that's going to compete with the Mercedes-Benz 220S, plus the imitation of the Volga GAZ-21 that you've already made... By the way, what's the name of this imitation of GAZ-21?" It's too long to keep saying it's an imitation of XXX.

"Beijing 520, yes, it was you who proposed it, and we also think it's a good idea." The director of Beijing Automobile Factory said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right. The one that's going to compete with Mercedes-Benz is Jingcheng 720. In this way, 720, 520, and Jingcheng 63, which was renamed Jingcheng 315, are all here!" Gao Zhendong clapped his hands and laughed.

"Yes, in this way, a comprehensive product line is formed from high to low. We can also appropriately choose to delegate technology from Line 7, and form certain technological advantages on Line 5 and Line 3!" The chief engineer of the th Ministry of Machine Building applauded.

Hearing this, the director of Beijing Automotive Factory remembered something: "Chief Engineer Gao, didn't you just say that there is another low-end car that has nothing to do with 315..."

Gao Zhendong nodded and shook his head: "This car does exist. It is indeed unrelated to the 315, but it also has nothing to do with the product line under the brand name 'Jingcheng'. This car is a truly popular car that ordinary people can afford."

Although our ordinary people cannot afford it for the time being, foreigners can afford it. If foreigners who can afford it buy more of ours, then our ordinary people will gradually be able to afford it.

"Ah? There's more?"

Gao Dong nodded: "Yes! And! For this car, I suggest not to use Jingcheng as the brand name, but to form a brand line with the microvan that is already ready for production, to separate the quality cars from the popular cars."

Although the chief engineer of the 11th Ministry of Machinery was not in marketing, he knew what Gao Zhendong was thinking after hearing what he said: "You mean to separate Gao... No, you mean to separate official cars and popular cars into two brands?"

"Well, this way they can go their separate ways. Once the brand reputation and tone are decided, it will be very difficult to change them. So use the brand to separate the two product lines so that they will not affect each other." Gao Zhendong had never studied marketing in his previous life, but he had more or less seen news about this. He knew very well that it is easy for a brand to go from high to low, but it is very difficult to climb from low to high.

"Well, building a brand image... Well said! Well said!" The chief engineer of the 11th Ministry of Machinery said, then turned to the director of the Beijing Automobile Factory and said, "I think you guys should not think of taking over everything. The three lines of the Beijing brand are yours, no problem. You can take out the microvans and hand them over to the comrades in other automobile factories together with the popular sedan that Commissioner Gao mentioned."

The director of the Beijing Automobile Factory had a painful look on his face, he was reluctant to give them up, he really wanted them all.

But he knew very well that this was impossible. First, eggs cannot be put in one basket. If they want to incubate the automobile factory, they can't just incubate their family. They can't afford to eat such a big bun. To put it bluntly, if all the products were put in their Beijing Automobile Factory, even if the whole factory worked themselves to death, they wouldn't be able to produce much.

"Well... Boss, the X63 series engines are still produced here." He compromised and said it was okay to distribute them, but the engines had to be kept here.

The chief engineer was a little amused: "If it really develops rapidly, how much can you take? How about this? Before the production capacity is sufficient, we will not consider the issue of switching to the production of the X63 series engines. Are you satisfied with this?"

The director of Beijing Automobile Factory said with satisfaction: "No problem, no problem. This series of engines is a good thing. Boss, don't forget that the military off-road vehicles we are developing are all based on this engine. It's confidential, confidential, hehe~~~~~~"

The chief engineer almost couldn't catch his breath when he heard this: "You..."

Gao Zhendong said nothing and had a blank expression on his face, but he was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.

The factory director is really talented! He can even relate to this.

The military off-road vehicle he mentioned is most likely the later famous Beijing Erdan, a nickname earned because of the two "zeros" in the model number of its later models.

When it comes to this car, all off-road enthusiasts have mixed feelings. If you like it, you really like it. Even if you don't like it, the sentiment is there. But if you say you like it, you really like it. It's said that the first thing you do after buying it is to tighten the screws.

But no matter what you say about this car, it looks really good! Gao Zhendong's favorite old-school hardcore off-road vehicle, no doubt about it. When he was in college, he wanted to buy one to play with after graduation, but unfortunately he didn't do so.

Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong asked with interest: "The off-road vehicle also uses 463? Is it ready now?"

"Of course. The original engine had a displacement of 2.5 and a power of only 75 horsepower, which is not as good as 363. Since it is for military use, we have to change to this engine even if it affects the progress. However, we changed it to two models, one with 463 for military use, and the other with 363 for civilian use. The troops are using it on a large scale and have generally praised it." The factory director was very excited when talking about this.

Gao Zhendong laughed and said, "Well, give me a purchase quota. I want to buy a 2.0. I've seen your car before. It's pretty nice." Actually, he had never seen it in this life, but he had seen it in his previous life. Gao Zhendong didn't think of getting it for free. He could just buy one himself. It's not like he couldn't afford it. Everyone knew that Commissioner Gao was really rich.

The chief engineer of the 11th Ministry of Machinery laughed and said, "What are you buying? Commissioner Gao, you personally helped us do the driving test and explore the direction of improvement. How can we ask you to buy it? You are really embarrassing our ministry. I have decided on this matter. Beijing Automobile Factory will send you one later!"

Although all industries in the country are one family, the 11th Ministry of Machine Building knows very well that it owes Gao Zhendong a lot. Although he doesn't care, they cannot help but care. Unfortunately, this Commissioner Gao has nothing to lack and his conditions are too good, so they really can't find an opportunity to express their gratitude.

I finally got this opportunity, buy it? What a joke. If you can spend this money, my 11th Ministry of Machinery will never produce cars again.

Gao Zhendong hastily refused, but the chief engineer rejected his refusal even more firmly.

Okay, just make sure they get value for money, Gao Zhendong thought.

This car has integral bridges at the front and rear, a large suspension travel, and strong ability to get out of trouble. To say it's comfortable, it's really not comfortable. But when would a man drive this car for comfort?

"Okay then, I'll give it a try for you." Gao Zhendong said with a smile. There was something else behind his words, but there was no need to rush to make it clear now: "As for the most basic small car, my idea is to make one that is just over 3 meters long. It is the simplest, but it must be reliable, durable and easy to maintain. I think this..."

Before he finished speaking, the chief engineer of the 11th Ministry of Machinery said with a smile: "Commissioner Gao, I know you already have a plan in mind, but there is no rush. Let's go back and pick out the factory that will take over the popular car brand line, and then trouble you again."

Gao Zhendong was a little puzzled. Can't it be cooked with just one spoon? Why make so much trouble?

But turning around and looking at the comrades from the Beijing Automobile Factory who were staring at him with fierce eyes, Gao Zhendong couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the chief engineer was "guarding against" this side. If he said it now, this side might turn around and make trouble. Regardless of whether they get elected or not, at least they have occupied the hilltop first.

"Okay..." Facing the disappointed eyes of the Beijing Automobile Factory, Gao Zhendong ended the topic.

If I had known, I would not have brought this old man here, the comrades from the Beijing Automobile Factory thought to themselves.

"What you just said were the big aspects, what about the small aspects? Are they technical suggestions?" The chief engineer had forgotten the saying "only bring ears" at this time and was very interested.

"Yes, I have some ideas about the technical details. At least in some directions, we should maintain a certain degree of advancement, which will be beneficial to the development of our automobile industry." Gao Zhendong didn't know much, but his vision and insights twenty years later were a dimensionality reduction attack even if he knew less.

"Okay, we're all ears." The chief engineer showed an attitude of humility and willingness to learn.

"I think we need to improve the engine!" Gao Zhendong's words startled the other comrades. Improve it? Now the X63 series engine is already in the first echelon in the world.

"Yes, mainly because there are some technologies now that will bring various benefits such as increased engine power and reduced fuel consumption, and the technical difficulty is not too high. Although they have not been widely used before, they will occupy an important position in automobile engines as time goes by. We don't necessarily have to use them now, but we must plan ahead and be able to use them when necessary. And, more importantly, our current engines are lame."

Gao Zhendong didn't want to change the generation as soon as it was born, that would be too ridiculous. However, as a technical pre-research, it was necessary to remind the 11th Ministry of Machine Building as soon as possible.
