Fortunately, Cheng Gang doesn't play Weibo and doesn't go to Station B, otherwise he would point at Li Fanyu's nose and say: "I have never seen such a shameless person!"
But even though he didn't say it, he already thought so in his heart; fortunately, it sounded reasonable to him just now, and it turned out to be this kid's routine.
Li Fanyu is really unjust; you asked me to come yourself, and it was you who asked me to come up with the idea. You don’t care for yourself... It’s like a thunderbolt.
Seeing that Cheng Gang's expression was not good, he expressed his thoughts.
When he heard that Zhengxin was interested in investing in the experimental center and in-depth cooperation with industrial universities across the country, Cheng Gang finally became interested.
No matter what, he is still very optimistic about the industrial ecology described by Li Fanyu. Now that he had Li Fanyu's promise, he relaxed and said that he would consider this proposal carefully and make a reply later.
The two of them realized that more than two hours had passed before they knew it.
Li Fanyu stood up to say goodbye. When he returned to the company, the first thing he did was to find An Ning and tell her the conversation he had just had.
An Ning was also amazed by Li Fanyu's bold idea.
"If Mayor Cheng really approves your proposal, it will be a great help to the company's development. When will the industrial park project start?"
Li Fanyu waved his hand, "Those are all uncertain things. It could happen in a year or in three years."
The Tiancheng City Government's work efficiency is considered fast, but even so, the approval of the project has been delayed for half a year. Once the park address is actually selected and how long it will take to complete the infrastructure work, it all depends on Cheng Gang's courage and skill.
An Ning nodded, knowing that this would not be implemented in a short time. But since Li Fanyu has the idea of taking up this project to develop Zhengxin, it is very necessary to make arrangements in advance.
Since Li Fanyu had promised Cheng Gang to expand the laboratory and invest additional investment in research and development, she believed that she could take the first step and use this to promote the project to be implemented as soon as possible to a certain extent and gain the right to speak for Zhengxin.
And even if it is not for the sake of the industrial park, the upgrade of the laboratory is urgent.
After the A6 came off the production line, several R&D teams picked up the projects they had previously held.
The ECU project of Sanxueba has made great progress and has now completed both hardware and software development parts. However, the biggest difficulty in ECU technology lies in control strategy and matching calibration, which require a large amount of data accumulation.
This data accumulation includes support from professional theories such as automotive dynamics, automotive experimental science, combustion, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. With the current laboratory conditions and knowledge base, it will definitely be very difficult to continue the research.
No way, the scale of the laboratory is there. No matter how advanced the equipment is, it is just a powertrain laboratory.
The experimental equipment and talents are not suitable, so it is naturally difficult to achieve results.
The EUC is equivalent to the brain of the car. Controls the car's throttle response, engine speed, intake pressure and other major sensors. To a large extent, it determines the handling and driving feel of a car.
When the top three students took ECU as a subject, Li Fanyu felt that it was destined to be a long and difficult battle.
The development of ECU is not difficult, but its development is a system writing project, which can only be completed through close cooperation between automobile manufacturers and university research institutions.
This field is still blank in China.
The current global ECU market is basically monopolized by several German manufacturers. Among them, Bosch occupies the vast majority of the market share. Zhengxin A4 and A6 are equipped with Bosch products.
As a person who has experienced both time and space, Li Fanyu knows that the ECU supplied to him by Bosch is not necessarily the best, it can only be said that it looks pretty good.
Why? Because the current ECU technology autonomy is completely in the hands of some suppliers in Europe and the United States, that is, manufacturers like Bosch. Most of the products they sell for the Chinese market are old technologies that have already made a lot of money in the local market.
To put it bluntly, these technologies will expire in ten or eight years, and their marginal costs will be almost zero. However, with these technologies, these manufacturers bring them to the Chinese market and sell them at a price that is absolutely unachievable in China.
As a result, domestic manufacturers that do not have mature technologies have no way to compete with them, which leads to a gap in the field.
This approach is despicable, but it is undeniably effective.
There is no way, for the Chinese automobile industry, this is the price that must be paid for falling behind.
So, when he first learned that the three top students wanted to take this as a subject, Li Fanyu supported it with both hands. Not to mention that Zhengxin's current environment is suitable for such a subject. Even if there is no environment, Li Fanyu will find ways to create an environment for his brothers.
This project of Three Scholars has been completed for nearly four months now. Including Lao Zhang, the total team size is less than twenty people.
But Li Fanyu has allocated funds to them three times, with a total investment of nearly 7 million yuan. It is with this kind of strong support that we were able to complete the development of the software and hardware parts in such a short period of time.
Now that he learned from An Ning that the laboratory could no longer meet the team's progress, Li Fanyu didn't hesitate at all.
In this case, upgrade the laboratory!
If you are not willing to invest in technology when making a car, why bother doing it? Even with Xapp's black technology, he still has to accumulate normal technology.
Lady, after all, you can’t eat it for a lifetime.
You can cheat once or twice on an exam, but if you want to always get good grades, study hard and study hard is the way to go.
The same goes for the automobile industry. Technology and production cannot keep up. No matter how good the design creativity is, it is just a flash in the pan.
Li Fanyu made up his mind to do whatever he said, and immediately came to the laboratory with An Ning and found Lao Zhang.
When Lao Zhang heard that the laboratory was going to be upgraded, he was as excited as anything.
He has actually felt the constraints of the laboratory's scale for a long time, but he also knows that Zhengxin has spent too much money during this period.
Li Fanyu sees every investment in R&D, one after another. Except for the first investment of 10 million after the establishment of the laboratory, he has been unable to catch up with the subsequent project support funds. Twenty million.
Just the ECU of the three top students and the new suspension system project of Wang Rui's team cost more than 10 million. Although the projects in the hands of other teams are not as big, they still make money at a fast pace.
Investment in R&D is different from business investment.
Business investment, if you invest one million, you may get back one million and a half million in the blink of an eye. But if you invest 1 million in R&D, you may get back 10 million, or you may not get back even a cent.
Even if profits can be recovered ten times or a hundred times, the cycle may be quite long.
So even as Li Fanyu's teacher, he was too embarrassed to talk about his involvement.
Now that Li Fanyu is taking the initiative to increase investment in research and development, how can Lao Zhang not be excited?
He patted Li Fanyu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Fan, you are great. I have to thank you on behalf of your brothers and sisters."
Li Fanyu looked at the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face and the larger bald area than before, and sighed with emotion, "Professor Zhang, don't thank me. I have to rely on you to upgrade the laboratory this time." ”
Lao Zhang was suspicious, "Me? I can take care of the students, but I can't do the project operation."
Li Fanyu chuckled and said, "Don't be humble this time. Whether the next plan can come true depends on whether your face is big enough!" (To be continued.)
