The lab has been developing a number of gadgets recently, including a wireless smart voice control module that is currently being tested. In order to program more languages into it, Xing Baohua had to increase the memory capacity to 512k, which can only support four languages.
The four languages are all except Chinese. It's not that they can't add it. They were originally created to fool foreigners and make some money. There's no need to use it in China, and it's not cheap either.
The cost of the optical module assembly itself is around thirty US dollars, and that needs to be added to the cost of televisions, future air conditioners, lighting, and mobile phone motherboards. This increases the overall cost of the export version.
In any case, the cost is ultimately borne by the consumer; it's perfectly normal for something with high-tech features to command a high price.
This is a toy that adults like, but they are only interested in it for a short time and then lose interest after using it for a while.
But there are always some people who can't resist their curiosity and jump into the trap to buy and experience it.
So if you want to test your intelligence, you need to pay taxes.
Zhang Fengrui has returned from Northeast China, bringing with him a group of FAW technicians.
Make a phone call and ask Xing Baohua to come out of the lab.
Xing Baohua took a car to Luzhong Automobile Factory, where he had a dedicated office.
Zhang Fengrui accompanied the experts from FAW's power division as they waited for Xing Baohua to arrive.
After Xing Baohua arrived, he exchanged pleasantries with the other party for a while, and then sat down to discuss the CA10A and CA10B chassis.
Although the CA10 chassis was imported, FAW has been using it for so many years that they have thoroughly studied it.
Xing Baohua didn't mind the outdated chassis technology, and FAW felt it was worthwhile to exchange it for some advanced technology.
It's not that he doesn't mind, it's that he really dislikes it. If he could find a better chassis, he wouldn't be using something from the 1950s or 60s.
Buying things globally and running around is too troublesome, so he had to modify it, turn it into his own technology, and then promote it.
Therefore, an agreement was reached with Qin Bin, a power expert from FAW, that technical personnel from both Luzhong and FAW would jointly develop a new CA10 chassis technology.
Xing Baohua provided the funding, and the results were split equally between the two companies. Of course, the results couldn't be divided so easily; FAW provided the finished chassis for Hongqi's high-end passenger vehicles.
Xing Baohua will build an urban SUV based on the Hongqi chassis.
The car model has already been decided: it will be built in the style of the Lincoln Navigator of later generations, with a rugged and imposing design.
It also comes in two types, two models, and four versions.
Domestic version and overseas version.
There are two models for the domestic version and four models for the overseas version, all equipped with high-power engines.
We're just brainstorming ideas now; it's still a long way from starting the mold.
Let's get the pickup truck and RV sorted out first.
Xing Baohua asked Qin Bin, "Which diesel engine manufacturer is currently the best?"
Qin Bin said, "FAW has always used Xichai engines, but Yuchai's are also good. You can talk to the two diesel engine manufacturers and have them specially design an engine that suits your vehicle model."
Xing Baohua thought for a moment and then asked Zhang Fengrui to handle the engine procurement. He added Jichai and Weichai to the existing two companies.
If neither of the two manufacturers has a suitable engine, you can ask them to customize one according to your needs.
Both Jichai and Weichai are very close to central Shandong.
In the following days, with the assistance of the FAW team, they began to transform the production line to specialize in manufacturing chassis. Meanwhile, the final assembly line plant was also under construction.
Logistics Minister Shen Jie also frequently went out to help Xing Baohua recruit people, and recently he has recruited quite a few retired veterans. Some of these people worked at the Luqing Refrigerator Factory until their retirement, and others were recruited from Xiaoya Restaurant in the provincial capital.
The Little Duck Group was transformed from a tractor factory in the provincial capital. In 1984, it introduced drum washing machine technology from China and produced Asia's first drum washing machine, "Little Duck Sangio".
The brand logo features two ducks resembling Donald Duck, with their arms around each other's necks.
It's estimated that the designer, to save time, slightly altered Donald Duck's appearance and incorporated the gesture of Lu Qing's two brothers with their arms around each other's shoulders to create the logo.
But it's good, because Xing Baohua is in short supply, whether he's a veteran technician or a young technician.
With experienced technicians mentoring newcomers, and with so many students at the technical school, Xing Baohua didn't believe he couldn't train them successfully.
With the support of these talented individuals, the rice appliance factory was finally established.
Since there was no compressor production line, they created their own. They had brought in quite a few people from the machine factory anyway, just waiting to build their own production and assembly lines.
The R&D project department for fully automatic washing machines was also officially established. In addition to washing machines, compressors for refrigerators and air conditioners are also being researched.
Although both refrigerators and air conditioners use compressors, there are still differences.
Moreover, the air conditioner compressor is a bit more troublesome.
With so many projects, there's a severe shortage of management talent, especially middle and senior management.
Such talent cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. It's not that we can't bring in outsiders, but the current situation is different.
After thinking for a long time, I decided to transfer my chief secretary over first.
This is a forced promotion! Fortunately, my chief secretary hasn't made any major mistakes in the past few years. As long as it's not a big mistake, I treat most mistakes as opportunities for my chief secretary to learn and grow.
Everyone makes mistakes; that's the price of nurturing talent.
Ten days or so later, Xing Baohua remembered something and called Zhao Shanhai, who was far away in Noodle Country, to ask him to do something.
So, that guy, who was neither a stepson nor an uncle, personally went back to Japan to find incriminating evidence against certain senior technical staff at Sony.
After all, the Japanese had just gone through a financial crisis, and many of them were short of money or in debt.
Xing Baohua believes that a company as large as Sony must have senior technical staff who have such financial loopholes.
