Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

“No hurry, no hurry.

I don't need you to sign any military orders. Just calm down, lay a solid foundation, and take one step at a time.

We have plenty of time.

Well, I'll give you a sample first."

Seeing that Ye Wengui was so moved that he started talking nonsense, Fang wanted to persuade him to stop.

Let alone one year, if we can build a qualified hybrid car in two years, I would be so happy that I would jump for joy.

After saying that, he pointed to the office building next to him.

“For the first car, you don’t need to build it too big.

I think a length of 4.65 meters is pretty good. Basically, it can hold everything that needs to be placed.

The width is 1.8 meters, and the height... 1.5 meters is fine.

Since it’s a concept car, let’s design it beautifully...”

After returning to the office, Fang Xiang muttered to himself as he sketched out the shape of a car with just a few strokes of the pencil.

Maybe at this moment your mind is full of confusion and confusion.

Unconsciously, I drew the first generation of Lexus CT200H.

"This car...why does it feel weird?"

Ye Wengui stood aside and was initially surprised at Fang Xiang's drawing speed and the inspiration in his mind.

But when the car model was drawn, he couldn't hold it in anymore when he saw the short butt of the hatchback.

Actually, it is true. Although there are hatchbacks nowadays, they are still rare. For example, the Beetle and Mini are also considered hatchbacks.

But their styles are either cute or serious.

On the contrary, the design of the CT200H from the early th century would seem out of place to people today.

Therefore, Ye Wengui’s current expression is not surprising.

“As for concept cars, they always have to have some advanced ideas, but they are just a concept.

It may not be like this in the future.”

Fang Xiang suddenly realized this when he heard what Ye Wengui said.

However, Fang Xiang doesn’t really care whether this car is built or what it looks like.

As long as the technology is available, the car model is just a shell and anything can be done.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Ye Wengui picked his nose. He could only listen to Fang Xiang's words.

Soon after, the exterior design drawings were completed.

“Put the motor here, put the bottle here.

The other parts are still in normal condition.”

Soon, Fang Xiang drew the positions of the four small motors and batteries.

"Is the battery in the back?

The trunk is not big, will it be okay to put it in the back? "

Ye Wengui looked at the drawings in front of him and became more and more confused.

At this time, the car batteries were still placed at the front of the car, but Fang Xiang placed the battery at the back, and he was a little confused.

“Hybrids, of course, use electricity.

Since it uses electricity, batteries of ordinary capacity will definitely not be able to meet the demand, right? You must replace them with larger batteries.

I don't think the space at the front of the car is enough.

Of course, that’s just my opinion. You can try putting it in front later.

I have already contacted the manufacturer of the motor, and I think a motor that meets the requirements will be delivered for testing soon.

As for batteries, you can ask a battery manufacturer to customize a batch of large-capacity, high-load ones.

If it works well, that's the best. If it doesn't, you can figure out what to do.

If that doesn't work, you can also put it under the chassis like your car.

However, the height of the chassis needs to be raised a bit.

This car can be made into an off-road model.”

While drawing the picture, Fang Xiang talked with Ye Wengui about the ideas for car model design.

Not only did he explain why we should do this, but he also talked about many other possibilities that could be tried.

Not long after, Fang Xiang casually drew a picture of the same off-road appearance.

“In fact, I want to say that you don’t necessarily have to stick to appearance or anything like that.

I don't think the battery and motor are the biggest problems limiting this car.

It’s mainly about electronic control.

The reason why you were asked to come to Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation is because there is a research institute next to it.

It brings together elite talents from Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, Shanghai Computer Center, Fudan University, and Jiaotong University.

This year they are able to independently design, develop and manufacture chips.

As for you, after integrating the resources of the entire vehicle, communicate more with the engineers of Shanghai Auto.

Tune the car according to your ideas, and I think the biggest problem you will face is how to realize your tuning through the electronic control system.

Therefore, it is very likely that the focus you need to focus on in the future is to communicate more with the research institute and let them realize the electronic control system of this car. "

Seeing that Ye Wengui was still worried about the unimportant issue of appearance, Fang Xiang brought the topic back.

Remind him what he should really pay attention to.

"That Cao Gong..."

Ye Wengui nodded, and this time he listened.

But the first thing that came to my mind was Cao Tianwei who had caused the unpleasant incident.

In fact, he didn't want to make his relationship with Cao Tianwei so awkward, after all, he was the chief engineer of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.

But before, he thought that Cao Tianwei had belittled the car he had worked so hard to build, which made him quite uncomfortable.

American experts are interested in their products and have even invited me to visit the United States.

Why am I being ridiculed here?

Coupled with the fact that he was under too much pressure, he naturally couldn't hold it in and started quarreling.

But Fang Xiang, who now has a higher status and stronger strength, seems to be willing to hand over the project to himself.

I immediately began to worry whether I would be excluded or bullied by Cao Tianwei.

"Are you worried now?

I saw you two arguing quite fiercely earlier."

Fang Xiang was immediately amused, looking at Ye Wengui who was excited, and made a joke.

"He shouldn't have said that about my car..."

When Ye Wengui said this, he was obviously lacking in confidence.

“Whether a car is good or not, it must be judged by others.

We now have 20 to 30 models of cars, some of which sell well and some that don't.

If sales aren't good, naturally there will be a lot of people saying even harsher things.

So it's time to control your temper.

When others say your car is not good, they are actually giving you advice. If you think it is right, you can adjust and modify it to make it better.

If you think something is wrong, just listen and laugh it off.

There’s an old saying, if there’s something wrong, correct it; if there’s nothing wrong, try harder.

Be more open-minded.

As for Lao Cao, I'll go and talk to him for you.

I will count on you to help me open up a new path in the future."

Fang Xiang took out a cigarette from his pocket again and handed one to Ye Wengui.

While comforting him, I helped him light a cigarette.

"If only you were here at the time."

After Ye Wengui took a puff of cigarette, his attitude improved significantly.

At this moment, this sentence is just stubborn talk.

"Don't count on me, I'm lucky if I can stay here for one month out of the year.

I'm busy elsewhere.

If you two quarrel every day, I won't have time to be your referee.

Instead of spending your free time bickering like children, you might as well focus on your work.

Think about how to build a good car."

Fang Xiang smiled and nodded at Ye Wengui.

Fang Xiang could see clearly his little thoughts.

It’s better to point it out directly.

"Okay, you can keep this blueprint.

I'll go talk to Lao Cao."

Fang Xiang saw that Ye Wengui stopped talking and knew that he had listened.

He stood up, went out and turned into Cao Tianwei's office.
