Wan Feng called him so something must have happened. Chen Dao washed his hands and led Wan Feng to his office, and personally poured a cup of hot water for Wan Feng.

"Uncle Chen! How long does it take to convert a 90cc upright engine to an electric starter?"

"What do you want to change it for?"

"I feel the 90cc motorcycle market is going to be chaotic next year. There will be more than a dozen manufacturers launching engines, and not a few more launching complete motorcycles."

In the past, there were few companies producing complete vehicles because engines were in short supply.

The engines of major manufacturers are kept for their own use and are not sold to the outside world. Nanwan Group does sell AX100 engines, but four-stroke engines are not sold to the outside world.

Even those who are interested in making complete vehicles can only watch.

However, if countless engines suddenly appear on the market, there will be many more companies making complete vehicles.

In this way, the sales price of the whole vehicle will inevitably fall into vicious competition.

Chen Dao was surprised: "Our engine has been hacked?"

"It's not ours, it's someone else's engine that's been hacked."

"How did you know that?"

"Premonition! My premonitions are usually very accurate. I estimate that next year there will be more than a dozen 90 engine imitations and several complete vehicle manufacturers on the market. If our 90CC motorcycles don't improve some of their skills, they will be greatly affected."

"Do you mean that next year's Feiyue 90 will have to replace all the engines with electric ones?"

Wan Feng nodded. "We must maintain our technological lead to avoid being surpassed by others. How long will it take to modify the engine?"

"Hehe! I also developed this engine while I was researching the pedal horizontal engine."

"Ah?" Wan Feng was surprised.

"What? Otherwise, why did I spend so much time researching pedal engines? Although there are differences between horizontal and vertical engines, the difference is not that big. After studying the horizontal engine, I tinkered with the vertical engine as well."

Oh my god! This is an accident!

Wan Feng never dreamed that Chen Daolian had also developed an electric starter for a vertical engine.

The scooter uses a 90CC horizontal engine, which was derived from the vertical engine used by Feiyue. Chen Dao said that he made the vertical engine as well, which seems very reasonable.

This made Wan Feng feel relieved.

"Then why didn't you report it? I don't remember this engine being available at the annual meeting."

At this year's annual meeting, Chen Dao's department reported a horizontal electric start engine and a disc brake project.

In these two projects, the engine won the first prize and the disc brake won the third prize.

Since the year before last, Nanwan Group has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in the bonus amounts for various awards, doubling the original amounts.

The first prize is 1.6 million and the third prize is 400,000.

In this way, Chen Dao's team won a prize of two million last year.

The bonus amount seems high, but there are too many wolves and too little meat. Chen Dao's engine team has more than a hundred people, and the average bonus per person is only a little over 10,000 yuan.

But Chen Dao was quite satisfied: "I think it's enough to have pedals, so I didn't apply for a vertical engine."

What made Wan Feng happy at last year's annual meeting was that the 60 million bonus he had prepared was not left over like the year before. Not only was there not any left over, it was not enough, so he gave out an additional 7 million.

The fact that the bonus was left over indicates that Nanwan Group’s R&D level had stagnated or even declined. A company without R&D results is doomed to decline.

Last year, more bonuses were paid out, which naturally proves that the group has achieved more scientific research results. With these results, the group has the motivation to move forward.

What makes Wan Feng most happy this year is that the college students who have been continuously introduced in the past two years have finally started to make efforts. These young people have the courage to explore scientific research. Although they have not made any major inventions, they have tinkered with a large number of small inventions.

At last year's annual meeting, he gave out more than 100 encouragement awards of 200,000 yuan each.

Nanwan Group now has more than 5,000 patents for various projects. If the number 5,000 is followed by 10,000, it will be no problem for Nanwan Group to do nothing and just sit back and enjoy the patents in the future.

"This motorcycle is a second-place prize. I'll give it to you later. It's almost Chinese New Year and everyone should be happy. No one's efforts will be in vain."

Chen Dao had so many people under him that he was not the only one who had the final say, so he didn't bother to be polite with Wan Feng about the bonus: "So when do you plan to power on the Leap?"

When the electric start engine was finally available, Wan Feng was no longer anxious. This is what it means to have food at home and not be anxious.

Ordinary 90CC motorcycles can still enjoy a year of profits this year, and it won’t be too late to replace the engine and launch it next year.

"We'll change the line by the end of the year, and by March of next year, we'll all be switching to electric starters, and disc brakes by the end of next year. If your electronic fuel injection engine is successful in the next two years, we'll start using it in 1997."

There is no need to rebuild the entire line for this engine, just change the location where the starter is installed.

Not all those who studied EFI with Chen Dao were from the motorcycle department. There were also some college students from small factory departments involved.

They mainly study electronic fuel injection technology to prepare for the future development of electronic fuel injection engines for cars.

Wan Feng and Lin Lairong bought two Honda electronic fuel injection motorcycles and a Toyota electronic fuel injection engine car from Japan as their learning materials.

After finalizing the motorcycle issue, Wan Feng returned to the office and called Wu Chuan.

Even if some things cannot be implemented before the New Year, you still have to give us a heads up.

After some rambling, Wan Feng stated his request.

"You want a share of the production of 2G phone base stations? Your group also produces these?"

"We don't produce, but I have a company in which I have a stake that can produce. It makes switches. In the spirit of supporting private enterprises, could you please make an exception?"

"This is a difficult matter. The Post and Telecommunications Department won't budge."

"Minister Wu! This depends on you. You will definitely find a way. If you can get it done, there will be a reward."

Wu Chuan was silent for a moment. "Okay, I'll make an exception, but I can't guarantee it will work out!"

"Thank you in advance."

If Huawei can produce high-quality products, it should not be difficult for it to become a base station product supplier under the Post and Telecommunications Corporation.

It is not difficult for Huawei to build a base station, as some principles of switches and base stations are similar.

I'm afraid Yin Zhenfei won't do it. He must be addicted to making switches now.

Of course, having base stations without mobile phones is useless. Wan Feng doesn’t know what stage Yu Zhengdong’s mobile phone research is at now, but he hopes that the progress will not be delayed.

Before the New Year, the sales of electronic products accelerated significantly, whether it was DVD players, pagers or mobile phones and learning machines, sales were higher than usual.

Even computer sales have increased somewhat.

The entrance of Huaguang Technology is full of trucks carrying goods, which are rushing to take the goods back to prepare for the last struggle before the New Year.

But it won’t last for a few days. By the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the entrance of Nanwan Group will be deserted.
