v2 Chapter 877： New car research and development eight

After receiving the latest instructions from Bao Zixuan, John Chambers immediately passed the meaning of Heiyun Automobile to the US Department of Defense. Ian Wright was incredulous when he learned that the Black Cloud Group did not need to lower its technical standards. Of course, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly reported to Defense Minister Caspar Weinberg.

Seeing Ian Wright, U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberg said with a smile: "What about the companies participating in the bidding? I'm mainly worried about the dark cloud. It's not easy to deal with. Bao Zixuan is still too young, he has never suffered a loss, and he doesn't know how to compromise."

It's no wonder that being the Secretary of Defense is truly remarkable in terms of analytical and predictive capabilities. It seems that I underestimated the Minister of Defense before, and there is still a lot to learn from others. Inadvertently, Ian Wright has begun to admire Kasper Weinberg; but how did he know that Bao Zixuan's decision was not expected by the Minister of Defense.

Ian Wright: "His Excellency the Secretary of Defense is as expected, and the actions of Black Cloud are indeed incomprehensible."

Kasper Weinberg was very worried when he heard that Bao Zixuan was really doing something extraordinary. After all, this young man is not only talented, but also super rich. As a lawyer, he certainly knows the truth that money can make ghosts run the mill.

If the super rich are aggressive, most people can't bear it. Moreover, the Minister of Defense can't work for a lifetime, but he dare not offend everyone to death.

In addition, Bao Zixuan has a huge influence all over the world, which can be seen from the transformation of old military vehicles. It is a household name in the United States, and a trip to Hollywood can turn the entertainment industry upside down.

No smart person would offend such a super rich man, and Caspar Weinberg is a smart man among smart people, and he will never do anything against his own interests.

Caspar-Weinberg: "What's going on with Heiyun Motors? Bao Zixuan didn't do anything wrong!"

Many of Bao Zixuan's actions caused a lot of headaches, this young man was really restless. But then again, is Anfen still a young man!

Ian Wright: "Black Cloud did not ask the Ministry of Defense to reduce the technical indicators of military vehicles. They said that they have been designed according to the existing technical parameters. It will definitely not affect the use of the military, and it will definitely maximize the performance and actual combat capabilities of the vehicle. "

There is no requirement to lower the technical indicators, although it is not a science and engineering background. But when designing the template for military vehicles, many experts of the US Department of Defense agreed. With current technology, it is difficult to do. Could it be that Heiyun has any secret means, or how dare he directly accept it.

Kasper Weinberg: "Have you confirmed it! Black Cloud really doesn't need to adjust technical indicators. What does Bao Zixuan mean?"

Ian Wright is also confused. The technical standards for military vehicles are basically formulated by his organization of experts. In order to confuse the Soviet Union, but also to make Bao Zixuan retreat. The technical difficulty was deliberately increased,

According to the existing technology, some problems cannot be solved at all. Among them, the expert group believes that the auxiliary power system should not be thought about until the battery technology has not been revolutionized.

Now that Bao Zixuan dares to take on this burden, is this kid crazy? It still needs to be investigated carefully, at least there are no mistakes.

The Defense Department is also concerned if orders for military vehicles are not handed over to Ford and GM. They are not easy to explain, after all, the benefits have been obtained, and it will become very embarrassing by then. But I was worried that Heiyun Automobile was too ahead, and it would not end well.

Ian Wright: "Black Cloud Group has sent an official document, saying that it will strictly implement the technical standards set by the Ministry of Defense. The design has been started, and the attitude is very firm."

"After receiving the official letter, I personally confirmed it with John Chambers, President of Black Cloud Motors. I came to report to you only after receiving a positive answer from the other party."

"Things are a little unusual. Bao Zixuan is a very shrewd person, and he does not fight uncertain battles. Although he has consulted many experts, he is still a little worried. In case Heiyun Group makes a technological breakthrough, we don't know. We will wait until the tender. will be very passive.”

I can't fully believe the words of experts, although they are leaders in their respective fields. But sometimes being too arrogant and looking down on others will delay things.

Caspar-Weinberg: "Inquire from various parties to learn about the latest technological developments. At the same time, send someone to investigate. The situation of Heiyun Automobile must be clear."

"Bao Zixuan, this young man, is not easy and cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, he is very willing to invest in technology research and development. Ford and GM are hard to count on, otherwise they would not have been beaten so badly in the civilian car market."

"What is the purpose of changing the military vehicle? Never make a wedding dress for Heiyun."

"At the same time, you go to GM and Ford in person and tell them about the situation of the dark cloud. Don't always think about getting benefits. The Department of Defense is under a lot of pressure."

"At the same time, let them work harder on technology, at least not much worse than Heiyun. Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone to explain, and the officers and soldiers of the army will also be dissatisfied with the decision of the Ministry of Defense."

Ian Wright knows that Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg has shown his dissatisfaction with GM and Ford. It seems that it is really necessary to beat the two companies, it is not the moment when everything is going to be all right, and you need to show some real skills.

The task assigned by the Minister of Defense personally must not be slack. Ian Wright came to Detroit with a strong purpose.

For Ian Wright's arrival, General Motors and Ford gave a high-profile reception. Henry - Ford II and Mac - Donald personally greeted at the airport to show their attention.

After coming to the hospitality department under the U.S. Department of Defense, Ian Wright looked at Ford II and Mac Donald and said: "You two should guess why I came here, Secretary Weinberg is very concerned about the previous research and development progress of the two companies. I’m not satisfied, I hope the two of you will pay attention to it, after all, anything can happen before the prototype passes.”

With Henry Ford II present, it was not easy for ordinary people to speak first. The status of the old guy in the American auto industry is really unparalleled.

Unsatisfactory progress is just an excuse, there may be other issues. Otherwise, as Ian Wright, it would be impossible to make a trip in person for such a trivial matter.

Henry Ford II: "Regarding the progress of the research and development, please rest assured that General Ian Wright, Ford has organized elite troops to attack the difficulties with all their strength, and will not delay the replacement of the new military vehicles."

"It's just that many technologies are not very mature, and I don't know what the Ministry of Defense has to say."

It was the people below who communicated before, and Henry Ford II could not easily come forward. Now that Ian Wright is here in person, there is no need to hide it.

Hearing that Henry Ford II wanted to lower the technical standards, Ian Wright felt that the old man was going back more and more. It seemed that Ford no longer had the spirit of exploration when it started its business. They are all managed by a group of children, and they don’t know how to study technology assiduously.

But having said that, many design concepts and technical indicators are indeed too advanced. But these words should not come out of Henry Ford II's mouth, it would be a disgrace to the entire Ford family.

Ford, as a flag of American industry, can never aim to lower technical standards.

It can't be all Henry Ford II's fault, but he's just annoyed by his engineers. And it happened that his youngest son was in charge of R&D; he decided to wait for Ian Wright to come over and ask what the situation was.

Ian Wright didn't answer directly, but looked at Mac Donald and said, "Is there any disagreement in GM!"

What does this kid mean? At this time, Mac Donald was very suspicious of Ian Lai's special intentions. Is it because GM doesn't want to be involved in the transition, or it's a platform for Ford.

But no matter what, it is still consistent with Henry Ford II. See if Ian Wright has been bought by Ford and wants to cheat GM at this time.

MacDonald: "The same is true in general. Many design indicators are too advanced. Even if the cost is increased, it is difficult to solve the problem. It is difficult to meet the requirements of the Department of Defense before the relevant technology is broken through."

The words are very subtle, but the meaning is very clear. GM and Ford have the same interests and have comparable technologies. If the Department of Defense does not agree, there is nothing they can do.

Although it is suspected that there is a tricky relationship between Henry Ford II and Ian Wright; no evidence has been found, or the general interest has not been harmed; it is good for everyone to assume that nothing has happened.
