"Dongfang Auto Repair Vocational School!"
This is the school name Xing Baohua gave to the training base. The training location is inside the old cannery, using several factory buildings and warehouses as classrooms.
The original office building was also used as a temporary teaching building and office. As for the dormitories, they are currently only for local employees.
These are all temporary. To facilitate internships at the car factory, future training schools will be built next to the car factory.
The school is also a secondary vocational school.
Xing Baohua originally wanted to upgrade to a junior college, but not only did his superiors disagree, but Wei Laisong also refused. What kind of university is a car repair industry like this?!
In their eyes, vocational schools are the best schools for learning technical skills; for advanced studies, go to a university of science and technology!
Ludong University of Science and Technology is the only university located in central Shandong Province, not in the provincial capital.
With the establishment of the automobile factory, many scientific research projects are aligned with the university, which can further strengthen cooperation.
The venue has been prepared for Overchert, and he is prepared to purchase or borrow any professional equipment he needs.
The temporary office team consisted of people seconded from various government agencies or public institutions, and they possessed exceptional work and problem-solving abilities.
With them coordinating the work, many things become much easier.
Overchter brought five engines and spare parts with him this time. This was to prepare for making a prototype as soon as possible.
But then, an engine factory would need to be built. Xing Baohua had bought all the patents for AMG engines, and he wanted to separate them out.
Establish a dedicated engine factory.
Wei Laisong approached Xing Baohua to discuss a collaboration using Zibo Diesel Engine.
Zibo Diesel is a fairly large enterprise, although it is not as famous as Weichai, Jichai, or Yuchai, but its production and management are very good.
We specialize in making diesel engines for ships and produce small batches of engines for tractors and power generation equipment.
After much deliberation, Xing Baohua decided to collaborate. Doing it alone would take too much effort and time.
With Zibo Diesel's personnel and existing equipment, the process will be much faster.
Relying on its technological and financial investment, Xing Baohua insisted on taking 70% of the profits, with Xing Baohua taking the lion's share.
With construction in full swing and countless tasks, Overchter also approached Xing Baohua, presenting him with a drawing of a supercar that Xing Baohua had created. This guy had based his design on the Trident MC12.
He had seen this car before and remembered it well.
He told Xing Baohua, "Xing, you need to figure out a way to shape the car body shell. You need to prepare a lot, as the later experiments will require a lot."
The sports car is mostly made of carbon fiber in order to reduce weight.
It's different from the alloy plates and sheet metal plates of our ordinary cars.
Xing Baohua contacted DuPont about carbon fiber, but the reason given was insufficient production capacity, making it impossible to supply.
To put it bluntly, they're not selling. Let's not go into the reasons why.
Currently, the only products in the world that can be supplied in large quantities and of good quality are Toray products from Japan.
Xing Baohua didn't know what standards the carbon fiber technology produced in our country met; he needed to ask someone.
At this time, Xing Baohua arrived at the port with the production line and several Tiger Head trucks ordered from West Germany, and sent people to bring the production line and trucks over.
The West German technicians who came with them have also been settled in; they can only wait for the factory to be built and the production line to be installed.
Xing Baohua also had to bring out a brand new car for the disassembly and tinkering tutorial.
The recruitment drive began, and even more people signed up, exceeding the capacity of the training schools.
The initial plan is to have 500 trainees, and we will recruit more after this batch graduates.
The AMG team sent two people to the school to train the trainees, and they were accompanied by two translators.
The Red Star Bread team has nothing much going on for the time being, so they're also going to the school to support the teaching staff.
Xing Baohua collected all the cars he could find, good or broken, to use as teaching tools.
The brand-new Mercedes-Benz W14 was not even driven yet, but the fact that they took out a car already shocked many faculty and staff.
They're rich, incredibly rich.
The car manufacturing in central Shandong has also attracted the attention of other domestic car manufacturers.
Currently, domestic car manufacturers are facing a bottleneck, lagging far behind other car manufacturers in the world.
There are significant differences in power, fuel efficiency, and overall quality.
Domestic car manufacturers are all looking for opportunities to collaborate with renowned car manufacturers and introduce advanced production technologies.
Other car manufacturers immediately raised objections when they learned that Luzhong Automobile was using a production line for 1940s models of the Bentley Tiger, and that its partner was a repair shop.
The funds in Lu Zhong's hands are a chaotic mess.
Why buy outdated technology? Especially from foreign repair shops, what technology is there to buy? Won't this be a waste of money and precious foreign exchange?
They still judge people with old mindsets, and there are quite a few criticisms. When they learned that the company was going to build a sports car, they basically all felt it was a joke.
Showy but impractical!
If you can't even handle a domestically made Jeep, how can you expect to handle a high-end sports car?
Want to run fast? That's hard to say. Just find a rocket engine, and you'll run faster than anyone else.
But is running fast enough to solve a problem useful?
Criticism also appeared in the newspapers, but Wei Laisong withstood the pressure and gritted his teeth to continue supporting the project.
However, when Xing Baohua saw the rocket in the newspaper, he thought of his father-in-law.
When I went to the construction site of the motorcycle factory, I saw that the buildings were almost finished. In the second half of the year, the motorcycle factory will be able to start up several workshops.
Xing Baohua's father-in-law works at the infrastructure department and spends his free time reading the newspaper.
Upon seeing Xing Baohua approach, he asked, "What do you need me for?"
"Yes, Uncle, I have a few questions to ask." Xing Baohua nodded and sat down opposite his father-in-law's desk.
The father-in-law chuckled and pointed to the newspaper, saying, "I just finished reading what's in there. I was quite surprised that you left the telecommunications industry to go into car manufacturing. And sports cars? You must have come to me about rocket engines! Are you really going to install them in cars?"
