Liang Hongying's new hotel is much more spacious and brighter than before, and the decoration is also of a higher grade.
Hongying Hotel once again stands at the forefront of all hotels in Jiangwei area.
For Wan Feng, it made no difference, it was just a place to eat and spend the night.
No matter how good it is, it’s not as good as home.
"Yeah, of course home is better if you have two wives, you hooligan!" This was how Liang Hongying retorted when Wan Feng poured cold water on her head on the day the hotel opened.
"Are you jealous? If you have the ability, find two men too and see how your Guang family will deal with you."
"Bah! We are honest people, who are like you."
This seems to be Wan Feng's second or third visit since Liang Hongying's new hotel opened. I guarantee it's not more than three times.
Although he came less often, Liang Hongying still reserved a private room for him on the second floor, but the name of the room was...
chrysanthemum?
It seemed like it didn’t have a name when I came here the first two times.
Wan Feng turned his head and looked around: plum blossoms, orchids, lotus flowers, water lilies, roses, lilies...
Why put a chrysanthemum in his room?
Damn Liang Hongying finally knew what chrysanthemum meant.
At the beginning, he praised Liang Hongying countless times for her beautiful face when she smiled.
This time Liang Hongying left Juhua's room to him.
He sat in Juhua's room drinking and eating...What a beautiful world!
Wan Feng pulled down the chrysanthemum and replaced it with the orchid in the next room. This time he felt balanced.
Peng Guangming and Gu Mengliang looked at Wan Feng in confusion. What was this guy doing? Why was he messing around with this when he had nothing better to do?
The three of them ordered six dishes, but Peng Guangming and Gu Mengliang only ordered two, both of which were ordinary dishes.
The remaining four are from Wanfeng, so of course they have to be solid stuff.
Does anyone serve tofu skin and shredded potatoes when entertaining guests?
Although he loves to eat these two things.
Once you get to the beach, you can eat as much seafood as you want. Wan Feng ordered all big fish and shrimps, even though he got a headache just looking at these things swimming in the water.
Peng Guangming and Gu Mengliang made it clear that they didn't drink white wine, so it was all beer. According to local customs, they had a drink first.
After going through the drinking and eating process twice, Wan Feng put down his glass and offered Peng Guangming and Gu Mengliang a Yunnan Yunnan cigarette each.
"Mr. Peng, now tell me what you want me to do?"
"We want to make a car and show it to the group." Peng Guangming replied after taking a deep puff of cigarette.
"Just to prove yourself? How many of you are there?"
"Forty or fifty people."
"Only one million? That's not even enough to cover your salaries."
“The salary is managed by the government.”
"There's nothing you can do with that million! Forget about developing a car, even developing a three-wheeled vehicle wouldn't be practical with that million."
How can you develop a car without tens of millions of dollars? And then there's the number of people... if you're just doing R&D and not doing any hands-on work, you'd have more than enough.
Nanwan Group has everything ready-made, including tools, materials, car samples, and even engines, gearboxes, and chassis. However, it still costs tens of millions to develop a car from research and development to production.
"If we don't have enough funds, we can still apply to the group."
"So, tell me about your plan?"
"Because our funds are really limited, it is not enough to research the engine. We want to buy an engine from Nanwan Group and take it back for research and development."
"Don't ask me for that. Our engines are available to the public. You can go to the sales department at the factory's bay entrance or to our store at the Wahou Industrial Market. We have four or five models for sale, ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 to 7,000 to 8,000."
Nanwan Group’s new production base with an annual output of 600,000 engines of various types has been started at the pickup truck site, so engines are not a problem at all.
"We have too little money. Even if we have the engine, it's not enough to develop the transmission chassis and housing. We hope Nanwan can provide us with some technical assistance to help us avoid some detours."
"Haha! Mr. Peng! Your request is truly unexpected. Although you're a state-owned enterprise and we're privately owned, we're competitors despite our different natures. Do you think I'd do something like this to train talent for my competitor?"
"We also have no other options to try it. Mr. Wan feels that if it really doesn't work, we have no complaints."
Wan Feng sighed, "Alas! Let's not talk about that for now. Let's just say we're willing to do something as foolish as this. But even if this research and development is successful, can it be considered your own independent research and development?"
"Alas! Changqi has been doing joint ventures in recent years, and the Chinese have kept the technology secret. We have now lost our own R&D capabilities. If this continues, in a few years, Changqi will become a complete OEM in the sedan field. This is not what we want to see. We are the children of the Republic, but we have become an OEM. Isn't this a great irony? So we want to start by adapting to the technology of domestic manufacturers and learning as we go. We have talented people and as long as there is support, we will slowly create our own products."
Although Wan Feng knew that the joint venture could not learn any technology at all, had Changqi reached the point where it had to start from scratch in car research and development?
"Brother Peng! Let me be frank. Your team has been marginalized in your company since we gave you one million to develop a new car. Not to mention that you can't do it with one million, even if you did, what would happen? Will the people in high positions at Changqi allow you to take over?"
Peng Guangming did not answer this question, and he had no way to answer it.
"How about this, I'd like to make a suggestion for you to consider: come to Nanwan. Bring your team and you'll form an independent department to develop cars. I'll give you ample support in every aspect and see what you can come up with. I'll also pay you a salary far higher than what you'd get at Changan Auto."
Wan Feng's suggestion left Peng Guangming and Gu Mengliang silent for a long time.
After a while, Peng Guangming sighed, "Boss Wan! To be honest, your suggestion is very tempting to me, and it's equally tempting to our group. But I can't come. I'm almost fifty. I've been working in Changqi since I was eighteen, and I've never moved. Changqi is like my home."
When you meet the sentimental Wan Feng, there is nothing more to say.
"Since Mr. Peng is reluctant to leave Changqi, I won't say anything. Since you're determined to pursue independent research and development, I can offer some assistance. I can share some of our engine and transmission chassis technologies with you, and I can also allow your people to intern in our research workshop."
Peng Guangming was overjoyed: "Really!"
Although his team usually comes into contact with Deguo's technology, those technologies are fixed. They just deliver finished parts and ask you to assemble them like robots. Even after you disassemble many core components, you still can't understand the principles and how they are manufactured.
