The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 163: Hummer design finalized, a new stage begins

Jiang Hui knew that Zheng Haiming, Chen Qi and others must be waiting for Qin Hao outside.

So after communicating for about an hour, he slowly gained control of his speech.

Qin Hao was naturally not stupid, so he almost ended this private chat.

Afterwards, with the farewell of Zheng Haiming and others, Qin Hao finally left the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.

"Xiao Jiang, is everything alright?"

Seeing Qin Hao disappearing in the distance in his car, Chen Qi finally couldn't help but start asking questions.

"It's okay. Director Qin just wants to ask me about the Hummer project."

"It is estimated that Second Automobile Works really wants to seize the Hummer project, but it cannot handle the matter, so it wants the Automobile Bureau to help find a solution."

Jiang Hui briefly explained the situation to Chen Qi.

He knew that if he didn't explain the situation clearly, there would probably be a rift in his relationship with Chen Qi.

There is absolutely no need to cause problems in the relationship between myself and Chen Qi because of this kind of thing.

"Second Automobile still wants to snatch the Hummer project? They are dreaming!"

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Chen Qi immediately became unhappy.

The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant was also very jealous of the Hummer project, but the Capital Industrial Institute was prepared to hold it in its own hands. Even if it chose to cooperate with the No. 618 Factory to a certain extent, the initiative would still be in their hands.

But looking at the behavior of Second Automobile Works, it is obvious that they want to seize the initiative.

Although China has invested a lot of resources in Second Automobile Works over the past decade, it also has high hopes for it.

But you can't expect to get something for nothing.

"Yeah, so I definitely won't get involved in this matter."

"If Second Automobile Works is not satisfied with the current situation, then it can work with Shuuchi and Capital Gear Works to see if it can make a breakthrough in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks."

"This business has little to do with our factory."

Jiang Hui chatted quickly with Chen Qi for about ten minutes and explained the situation clearly.

Zheng Haiming, who was standing nearby, naturally heard it as well and felt relieved.

After returning to the office, Jiang Hui thought about it and decided that it was necessary to call his father-in-law.

"Dad, has Erqi contacted you during this period?"

It took a while to get through the phone. Jiang Hui didn't say any nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Some time ago, their deputy chief engineer Han Hao and design director Zhang Fan and others came to visit the clay model and discussed with us the various performance and design concepts of the Hummer."

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Jiang Hui rarely calls Zhu Jiansheng during working hours.

Whenever there is a fight, it means something more important must have happened.

Zhu Jiansheng could naturally understand this point.

"Just now, Director Qin Hao of the Automobile Bureau of the First Ministry of Machine Building came to our factory for an inspection. During the visit, he called me into the conference room and talked to me for an hour. He asked me a lot of questions related to Hummer. In the end, he revealed that it was Second Automobile Works that wanted to produce Hummer."

When Jiang Hui said this, Zhu Jiansheng immediately frowned.

When the people from Second Automobile Works came to inspect, they also asked about this matter in a roundabout way, but Zhu Jiansheng flatly rejected them at that time.

Unexpectedly, the other party was still not giving up and actually wanted to make a roundabout attack by going through the leader of the First Ministry of Machine Building to find Jiang Hui.

This made him very unhappy.

Capital Institute of Technology is at the same level as Second Automobile Works. Why should others take advantage of the projects they developed?

Are they easy to bully?
"I will report this matter to the school and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and emphasize our attitude."

"I believe that the school and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building do not want any accidents to happen in the Hummer project."

The more people compete for the project, the brighter the future of Hummer is.

Everyone has sharp eyes.

"I think it is necessary to further upgrade the confidentiality level of some specific information of the Hummer project."

"For example, when visiting clay models, people must be prohibited from taking photos at will, so that they don't take them home and copy them."

"There are also various technical exchanges, but I don't think it's necessary to go into detail before the Hummer prototype is produced."

"Especially in terms of the design of some key components, there is no need to say too much."

Although there was no concept of patents in that era, Jiang Hui certainly did not want the big project he helped Zhu Jiansheng to be taken advantage of by others.

Therefore, even if there is no way to protect from a patent perspective, we can still start from a confidentiality perspective.

It just so happened that the Capital Institute of Technology itself had many confidential projects, and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, to which it was affiliated, was also a military-related department.

As long as a document is issued internally, the confidentiality level can be easily upgraded. By then, it will be much more difficult for others to understand the Hummer military vehicle project.

It would be even more difficult to steal the fruits of the Capital Institute of Technology's labor.

Even higher-level car manufacturers such as FAW and Second FAW can't do anything about it.

"I understand. I will go to the vice president in charge of our department and report this arrangement to him.

"It just so happens that our Hummer model is about to be officially designed and finalized, and is ready to enter the sample production preparation stage."

"It is normal to raise the confidentiality requirements for drawings and other aspects at this time."

After a design time twice as long as that of the new BJ212, the main design tasks of the first phase of Hummer are almost completed.

This is obviously a very meaningful thing for Zhu Jiansheng.

The school has allocated so many resources for his use. His influence is now greater than that of the vice-presidents who are ranked lower. He is already a rising star in the school.

Many people think that he will most likely become a school leader in the future.

"We also need to emphasize the confidentiality requirements with the supporting factory, letting everyone know that this is a military vehicle and a lot of information is kept confidential."

Although workers of this era generally have a strong sense of confidentiality, that is confidentiality kept to the outside world.

If someone within the system were to inquire about the news, it would be much easier.

Of course, the situation will definitely be a little different after the emphasis on confidentiality.

This is also the reason why Jiang Hui specifically raised this point.

"Well, we now have a military representative who is specifically following up on our project. When the time comes, I will ask the military representative to explain the situation to the main supporting factories."

Zhu Jiansheng immediately found a very good person to ensure confidentiality.

The military representatives don’t usually have anything special to do, so now we ask them to make good use of their special influence.

"This is a good idea. If we let the military representatives come forward, the effect will be much better."

His father-in-law already fully understood what he meant, so Jiang Hui didn't want to say any more.

Phone calls are also very expensive. The two chatted for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone. "Master, this Hummer project seems to be more attractive than the new BJ212."

Jiang Hui did not hide the fact that he was calling from Chen Chenxing. After he heard it, he naturally couldn't help but chat a few words.

"The positioning is different. The new BJ212 will mainly be used in the civilian market, but the main market for Hummer in the next ten years will be the military."

"In the past few years, the demand in the civilian market has been very small, but the demand for military vehicles has been relatively strong."

"That's why the Hummer project is more attractive than the new BJ212."

Jiang Hui briefly explained his understanding.

Chen Chenxing is his little follower and knows a lot of information.

With proper training, it may bring considerable help to your career development in the future.

"Assistant Jiang, our new BJ212 will soon be put into mass production. By then, the factory may consider asking the design department to develop some new projects."

“You may need to think about how to deal with this aspect in advance.”

Hou Guoming believes that once the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant waits for the new BJ212 to go into mass production, it will definitely have some new ideas.

Especially knowing that Jiang Hui is helping Capital Institute of Technology with the Hummer project, it would be even more important to come up with some new projects for Jiang Hui to play his part.

"Even if the factory has this idea, it is estimated that it will not have the production capacity in the short term."

"After the new BJ212 is launched and becomes a hot seller, the main task of the factory in the next one or two years will be to expand production."

Jiang Hui is absolutely confident in the new BJ212.

With the current production capacity, it will not be enough by then.

Especially after the reform and opening up, all industries will usher in rapid development, and the demand for automobiles will become even more exaggerated.

By then, patching up the existing production lines can only solve part of the problem, and eventually we will definitely have to consider building a new factory.

The Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has a large enough plant area, so there is room for expansion.

But for factories of this era, what they lack is not land. Land is not valuable at all. Even if they really lack land, they can easily find a large piece of land with a good geographical location.

The most troublesome thing is the import of equipment. Especially once it involves imported equipment, it involves the use of foreign exchange, which is quite troublesome.

"That's true. If the new BJ212 is really doing very well, then the factory may not be willing to start a new project. It will be fine as long as the new BJ212 is well developed."

Hou Guomin thought about it for a moment and realized that what Jiang Hui said made sense.

Even though Capital Automobile Manufacturing has already started reforms to expand its power, it will not aggressively launch a large number of projects.

Especially when there is a choice, people are less willing to take big risks.

Whether a new product can be successful is still full of uncertainties.

In those days, the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant also built cars for military parades, but ultimately failed to compete with FAW, and all its early investments were wasted.

Although the losses are all in the factory, they will definitely affect the promotion of the factory leaders.

A new BJ212 is enough for Zheng Haiming, Chen Qi and others to get promoted, there is no need to add anything else.

"So you two should learn all the technical information of the new BJ212 thoroughly. It will definitely be of great use in the future."

"Especially Chenxing, although you are interested in repairing cars, even if you repair cars in the future, I guess you will often repair the new BJ212."

"If all the faults of the new BJ212 can be easily solved in your hands, it will also be a great thing to build its reputation."

After Jiang Hui said this, Chen Chenxing immediately became interested.

He was still willing to believe what his master said.

The number of BJ212 in stock is not low, and the new BJ212 has made so many improvements, so the number of BJ in stock will only be more, not less.

Therefore, it is indeed very important to have a deep understanding of the maintenance technology of the new BJ212.

"The most common problems with cars are engine and chassis problems, so I will go to the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory and the Capital Automobile Accessories Factory to learn more this year."

Chen Chenxing felt that if he continued to study with Jiang Hui for another year or two, he would be able to become a master.

At that time, whether you continue to work in the technical department or consider other arrangements, you will have more options.

No matter how bad the situation is, you can still take on some work to improve your life.

……

FAW has been paying close attention to the affairs of the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant during this period.

Naturally, they soon learned about the inspection by Qin Hao, director of the Automobile Bureau of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Even the Capital Office found out that Qin Hao had a private conversation with Jiang Hui. What's more amazing is that they even knew that Second Automobile Works wanted to snatch the Hummer project from the Capital Institute of Technology.

"Old Yu, you also visited this clay model of the Hummer military vehicle. Now Second Automobile Works has jumped out to grab it. It seems that its appeal is greater than I thought. Can we consider giving it another try?"

Geng Weidong had heard about the Hummer project before and knew that it was a major project that was highly valued by the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and related departments.

He also thought about whether it was possible to cooperate with the Capital Institute of Technology and have FAW produce the products.

But after trying it a little and seeing no results, he gave up.

Now that he saw that Second Automobile Works was so active in asking the leaders of the Automobile Bureau to coordinate, he was a little tempted again.

FAW cannot fall behind.

It wouldn't matter if the Hummer project remained in the hands of Capital Polytechnic Institute.

It would be embarrassing if it was really snatched away by Second Automobile Works.

Not only is it possible that FAW's scale will be surpassed by Second FAW in the future, but its position in the industry will also face great challenges.

This was something Geng Weidong could not accept.

"We can try, but I feel that Capital Institute of Technology and the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building will not let go easily."

“The importance of this project may be greater than we thought.”

Yu Jiang didn't want to hit a wall again, at least he didn't want Geng Weidong to think that there was still hope for this matter.

Otherwise, he will be under a lot of pressure.

"As long as Second Automobile Works doesn't give up, we can't give up!"

After Geng Weidong said this, Yu Jiang had nothing more to say.

After all, the leaders' concerns are reasonable.

As the industry's big brother, my superiors are a little dissatisfied with the current situation. If my enthusiasm for work still makes my superiors feel that it is not high enough, that would not be good.

"Next time we go to the capital for a meeting, we can arrange to meet with Director Zhou and Director Qin of the First Ministry of Machine Building to have another chat and see if they can help."

Yu Jiang could only use a delaying tactic and drag Geng Weidong to do things together.

Otherwise, if he messes up, his boss will think he didn't work hard enough.
