Chapter 257 Others save fuel while you waste your life
In addition, turbocharged engines have disadvantages such as high maintenance costs.
But even though it has its shortcomings, overall, the advantages of a turbocharged engine are quite obvious.
In particular, turbocharged engines have better handling and more power than naturally aspirated engines.
For example, a 1.4T engine can be comparable to the power of a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine.
The 2.0T engine is definitely much more powerful than the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine.
In addition to the turbocharged engine, Wang Haoran also led the team to develop a dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Although dual-clutch transmissions have been criticized, one thing must be said: the handling of dual-clutch transmissions is indeed impeccable, the response speed is very fast, and overtaking a car on the road is like a piece of cake.
A 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, no matter how well you tune it, it will take more than ten seconds for it to accelerate from to km/h.
The 2.0T engine can accelerate from 7 to km/h in more than seconds.
It's not just a little bit off.
Of course, if a naturally aspirated engine is tuned well, it can indeed save a little more fuel than a turbocharged engine.
However, when driving on the highway, a turbocharged engine can also be as fuel-efficient as a naturally aspirated engine.
In this era, passenger cars are still mainly manual transmission.
Automatic transmissions have certainly appeared, but they are rarely seen in passenger cars.
Automatic transmission is mostly used in racing cars.
However, the automatic transmission on a racing car cannot be considered a fully automatic transmission, but rather a semi-automatic transmission.
The combination of a turbocharged engine and a dual-clutch transmission has a pretty good effect.
Since the people in the foot basin want to challenge themselves, they might as well combine turbocharging and dual-clutch transmission to assemble a new car.
When Wang Jianguo heard that Wang Haoran was going to use a brand new engine and gearbox, he found it a little unbelievable.
Because now we are facing a powerful enemy, and the other party has already come to your door. Do you want to use new technology engines and gearboxes?
Isn't this inappropriate?
Isn't it better to have it run in before?
At least it's stable.
Wang Jianguo said, "Comrade Haoran, if we accept the challenge, then according to the other party's proposal, we will start the competition in three days."
"Isn't it too late to tune and assemble a new car now?"
"I think if there is nothing fishy about the Hongqi H1 we had before, it is already pretty good."
“Why not just keep using that car?”
Wang Haoran smiled calmly and said, "Because the other party must have assembled a special Lexus to outdo us!"
"When people from the foot basin play tricks, they can be very cruel."
"If we use the previous car, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss."
Wang Jianguo sighed and said, "It seems like you are very confident."
"Then, the new technology products you have developed should be very stable."
Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Yes, our new engine and gearbox have actually been tested hundreds of times in the laboratory."
“Overall, I think the training is pretty good.”
"As long as there is a need, a new car can be produced today."
Wang Jianguo nodded and said, "So, should I respond directly to Fengtian, or should you two talk directly?"
Wang Haoran said: "Why don't you tell them something? Tell them we accept their challenge!"
"We can discuss the time and place!"
After Wang Jianguo left Wang Haoran, he immediately went to the office of the joint venture between Fengtian and Beijing Auto to inform them that China Passenger Vehicle Group Corporation accepted the challenge from Fengtian.
After listening to the retelling, Koizumi Toshisuke wanted to find out something from Wang Jianguo.
Of course, Wang Jianguo would definitely not tell the other party anything.
Koizumi Toshisuke didn't expect that Wang Haoran would agree so readily.
He also asked to meet immediately to discuss the specific details of the game.
This made him feel a little timid.
People with foot basins are very good at bluffing.
They announced loudly that they would compete with China Passenger Vehicle Group in all aspects. In fact, they wanted to put pressure on the other party so that it would not be able to figure out their ways and become timid.
If Wang Haoran could take the initiative to request negotiations and everyone could see how to reconcile, that would naturally be the best outcome.
Feng Tian is actually quite afraid of Wang Haoran now.
After Koizumi Toshisho sent Wang Jianguo away, he immediately called Feng Tianjing to report the relevant situation.
Feng Tianjing also listened and pondered for a long time.
Feng Tianjing also thought that the other party agreed so readily and seemed to be fearless.
However, Feng Tian now has no way out.
Because they had already held a press conference with great fanfare and openly challenged China Passenger Vehicle Corporation!
They are now ready to fight.
Retreating is absolutely impossible!
Then do it!
Damn it, I just don’t believe that our Fengtian company’s decades of technological accumulation can’t compare to a new company like you!
Well then, let's work on the racing car!
Feng Tianjing also thought so, so he said: "Xiaoquan, have a good talk with him!"
"Talk about the content and rules of the competition!"
"Determine the time!"
"I'm wasting no time in requesting a custom-made car specifically for the race."
"We have to surpass them in many major projects!"
Koizumi Toshisuke quickly said, "Okay! President, I'll go talk to them right away."
"Excuse me, how many days later would it be appropriate to schedule the competition?"
Feng Tianjing also thought about it and said, "Let's set it for a week later!"
"We have to hurry up and build the car for the competition, then break it down into parts and ship it to Longguo to be assembled locally."
After finishing the call, Koizumi Toshisho thought that the president didn't seem to have much confidence.
If you were confident, you wouldn't be so hesitant in speaking.
Koizumi Toshisuke called Wang Haoran.
He hoped to visit Wang Haoran at 4 p.m. that day to discuss the details of the match between the two sides.
By the way, Koizumi Toshisho also hopes to find out the other party's background.
After receiving the call, Wang Haoran readily agreed.
However, Wang Haoran would not discuss this matter with Koizumi Toshisuke.
Instead, he sent Qiu Bojun to negotiate with Koizumi Toshisho on his behalf.
Toshisuke Koizumi arrived at Pangu Technology Company on time that afternoon.
By the way, this is not the first time that Koizumi Toshisho has met Qiu Bojun.
He thought the young man was probably under 20 years old.
I guess the young man can’t resist his tricks, right?
After sitting down, Koizumi Toshisho began to arrogantly tell Qiu Bojun how advanced and advanced Fengtian Automobile was and how its craftsmanship was in its manufacturing.
"Mr. Qiu, you are no match for us."
"Do you agree with this?"
Koizumi Toshisho said slowly while crossing his legs.
Qiu Bojun laughed and said, "We have an old saying in Long Country: Wang Po sells melons and brags about them herself."
"I feel like Mr. Koizumi is a bit like a tyrant. After you sit down, you just brag about yourself. What's the point?"
"In fact, the reason why your cars are able to popularize the concept of fuel efficiency is that you don't have any idea about it?"
"Besides the fact that your engine is really good, you actually achieve fuel efficiency by making the car light!"
"Other people build cars with real materials, and the materials they use are very solid."
"You guys make all the parts as light as possible. Others' cars weigh more than a ton, but yours only weighs a few hundred kilograms. Your car is fuel-efficient, but it's also life-consuming!"
Qiu Bojun's words were very sharp. Koizumi Toshisho was a little dumbfounded. He thought that his negotiating opponent would be easier to deal with.
I didn't expect the words to be so sharp.
It is generally recognized that the foot basin car is of thin skin, and many people criticize its cutting corners.
It gives you a very grand appearance.
However, it uses various tricks to fool around in places that are not visible, and even uses foam as an anti-collision beam.
"Mr. Qiu, I think you are prejudiced!"
"Our cars are lighter because our manufacturing process is more advanced! We also use a lot of sober synthetic materials."
“Although our cars are lightweight, their safety is recognized worldwide as second to none.”
"So, I hope you can face up to the huge gap between you and us."
"In fact, there is absolutely no need for us to be as tense as we are now."
"We should reconcile with each other."
“And we should also cooperate more deeply.”
"You do have some unique technologies, and we acknowledge that."
"We will have in-depth cooperation in car manufacturing, and together we will occupy the Western market, so that we can lead the world's automobile market system."
Koizumi Shunsho was talking in a crooked tone.
Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "Mr. Koizumi, it seems that you have become timid. You also know that you are just a silver-plated spear head, which looks good but is useless!"
"If you feel that you are not capable of this, my advice is: surrender as soon as possible!"
Koizumi Toshisho: “…”
The other party obviously has no intention of negotiating in a friendly manner!
Moreover, what he said was really not polite at all.
Koizumi Shunsho laughed, "I can't understand why Mr. Qiu is so hostile to us."
"Aren't you afraid that if you really go head-to-head with us, you will be completely defeated and abandoned by the market?"
Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "Isn't this probably what you are worried about?"
"I think, let's stop talking nonsense."
"Let's hurry up and decide when to have the game."
"Let's have a competition that will decide the winner and the loser, and let consumers around the world see whose car products are more powerful!"
Koizumi Toshisho shook his head a little depressed.
"Okay! Since you like to fail so much, then this time, our Fengtian Company will definitely help you!"
Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "That's a very powerful statement."
"But you sounded a little limp. Is it because you haven't eaten yet and you have no strength?"
"Let's have a good talk about how to have a real decisive battle!"
"Yeah! It would be great if people all over the world could pay attention to it."
"This is also a good publicity opportunity for you, isn't it?"
Koizumi Toshisuke shook his finger and said with contempt, "You are not well-known in the world."
"There is no need to let other countries know about this."
"To be honest, we Fengtian are lowering our status by taking the initiative to have such a competition with you."
Koizumi Toshisho is beginning to react.
He thought, maybe it was a mistake for us to make such a big show of competing with the unknown China Passenger Vehicle Group, holding a press conference and conducting comprehensive tests with them to determine our strengths and weaknesses?
In fact, perhaps the best way to deal with this matter is to just ignore it?
However, if we treat it coldly, it will still have a huge negative impact on us.
Because the other party’s comparative test advertisement was too damaging to us.
If we don’t respond, consumers in Longguo will think that our cars are indeed completely crushed by their Hongqi H1, and we will lose the Longguo market.
Anyway, this matter is really too damn uncomfortable.
No matter what I do, it seems to be wrong.
Qiu Bojun smiled and said, "You guys shouldn't think too highly of yourselves, right?"
"I think, in fact, your Fengtian's car is not as good as you think, haha!"
"Let's see who's better on the test field!"
Then, the two sides began to discuss when, where and what items to test and compare.
Qiu Bojun was quite casual. Koizumi Toshisho said that the competition would be held a week later on the morning of August 8th, and the venue would be at the test track of Beijing Automobile.
Qiu Bojun agreed readily.
Koizumi Toshisho also said that the competition items include zero-to-hundred acceleration time, fuel consumption, power comparison, safety comparison, and luxury function comparison, among which safety includes collision tests, and Qiu Bojun agreed to all of them.
Koizumi Toshisho felt a little bit uneasy.
Because the other party seemed a little too relaxed.
This special brew is abnormal.
After finalizing everything, Koizumi Toshisho said goodbye and left.
When he left, he was obviously a little confused because he had no idea what to do!
After Koizumi Toshisho returned, he also called Feng Tianjing.
He also reported the results of the discussion with China Passenger Vehicle Group to Feng Tianjing.
"President, I always feel like we've been fooled."
"What we are doing now is almost the same as cooperating with them in hyping things up."
"Even if they lost to us, it seemed like they didn't lose anything."
"They will actually get a big boost in popularity for daring to challenge us."
Koizumi Toshisho couldn't help but express his feelings.
Feng Tianjing actually began to come to his senses at this moment.
But now we are in a difficult situation!
He pretended to be tough and scolded: "Asshole! I have no idea, why are you panicking!?"
"Perhaps, China Passenger Vehicle Group has no reputation, but Pangu Technology Group is famous all over the world!"
"And Wang Haoran, who is also very famous!"
"Did we defeat China Passenger Vehicle Group? We defeated Pangu Technology and Wang Haoran!"
"If we win, then we can promote it as above!"
“This can be considered a huge success for us!”
"Your vision is too short! You don't see the essence of the matter at all!"
"In recent years, our domestic industries, from home appliances to electronic products, have almost all suffered heavy losses without exception!"
"In the past, our home appliances swept the world, but now, we have been beaten back by Pangu Technology!"
"Our electronic technology industry was once the world's leading one. From chips to various electronic products, we were the leader in everything. But because of Wang Haoran and Pangu Technology, which he built, our electronic industry is almost on the verge of collapse!"
"We must defeat them in the automotive field! Give our foot basin industry a shot in the arm!"
“Isn’t this significant enough?”
"Calm down!"
"We have no retreat!"
"We must face the challenge head-on!"
Feng Tianjing was also roaring. He was actually very manic at the moment.
Koizumi Toshisuke quickly smiled and said, "President, you are right."
Feng Tianjing also sighed and said, "We have to prepare for this matter seriously."
"This time, we can only win, we can never lose!"
"Koizumi, go and use your connections to find out what's going on at the China Passenger Vehicle Group."
"See what they rely on."
Koizumi Toshisuke agreed and said, "I will do my best."
In fact, he was completely confused at this moment.
He thought to himself, where can I get information about the other party?
