Chapter 371 Little Splash

The engine cooperation between Shenhang Mitsubishi is relatively important to Carbon Silicon Group, but what is more important is the accumulation and research and development of three-electric technology.

However, Shenhang Mitsubishi is indeed the first project among the suppliers of Carbon Silicon Group to receive national policy support, so it naturally receives different treatment.

Yu Xing originally thought that perhaps it was the core concept of "engine" in fuel vehicles that attracted the city leaders to attend the event, but Director Zhu Zehui gave a very clear idea - since the range extender can be selected as a project supported by the National Science and Technology Support Plan, why can't the three electrics with a higher priority be included?

In addition, can't we also apply for projects in the field of domestic breakthroughs such as millimeter-wave radar and air suspension?

"Mr. Yu, the eight-year industrial plan has just come out. We must actively respond to the policy and strive to come up with a number of demonstration projects. In this way, we will have both money and honor, right?" Zhu Zehui said earnestly, fearing that Mr. Yu would not take it seriously.

How could Yu Xing not take it seriously? Not only did he take it seriously, he also responded positively: "Director, is it possible to do this in batches? Can we apply in batches? How much funding can be approved for the laser radar project that I just discussed and will be returning from the United States?"

The cooperation between Shenhang and Mitsubishi was originally at a stalemate, but it was finally achieved because Beijing revealed a funding support of around 1000 million that the company was able to make concessions and land in Lingang.

If we can carry out a batch of such projects, just count them, motors, batteries, electronic controls, millimeter-wave radars, and suspensions are the five real ones. There are sufficient reasons to apply for upstream ones like super-large die-casting machines, aluminum alloy materials, etc.

"Lidar?" Zhu Zehui looked at Yu Xing who was eager to try. Thinking that Yu Xing was young after all, he had to say seriously, "Mr. Yu, you have to be reliable in doing things. Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"This is too cutting-edge. Three talented people who studied abroad contacted me recently. Because it is too cutting-edge, there is no funding in China, so I can only invest myself," Yu Xing explained.

Zhu Zehui only captures the information of concepts that he understands, unpopular frontiers, his own investments, and the funding he wants...

There was a strange flash in his eyes: "Boss Yu, you...you have to be careful, don't let the rat shit spoil the whole pot of soup!"

Yu Xing: “???”

He had no idea how the communication had suddenly turned into this.

Zhu Zehui and Yu Xing stared at each other for a few seconds before they suddenly realized that they might have misunderstood each other. "I mean this, this... we need to apply in an orderly manner, step by step, so that a batch of demonstration projects can be built. This will benefit both Carbon Silicon Group and Lingang. Also, there are leaders from Beijing coming this time. Mr. Yu, you should be prepared to talk about the transformation of automobile electrification."

Yu Xing was a little surprised: "Do I need to explain this? Don't many experts know more about this than me?"

Zhu Zehui shook his head. "It's different. I just asked you to speak. You are an entrepreneur, so your emphasis is different. Experts' words are theories. Can practice fully conform to theories? If experts' words are all right, why don't they start businesses and make a fortune? Mr. Yu, I still say that you have to pay attention to it."

Yu Xing agreed. This was a simple matter. He just needed to ask Zhuang Guanlin, who was researching electrification, to write a manuscript.

In fact, if no one is mentioned by name, it would be enough to let Zhuang Guanlin speak.

The cooperation project between Shenhang Mitsubishi is located next to the Carbon Silicon Group. It was originally planned to be listed in the factory area, but this time the momentum was so large that it could only be placed independently next to it, waiting for the leaders to cut the ribbon.

On Monday, August 8, not only Yu Xing from Carbon Silicon Group, but also senior executives such as Chen Maoyong, chairman of Shenhang Mitsubishi, came to Lingang to welcome the leaders from Beijing.

Yu Xing was indeed surprised by the visitor from the department and committee, but thinking about Director Zhu's full attention, he also felt that Lingang had made a lot of efforts.

There were naturally no problems with the ribbon-cutting and everything went smoothly.

However, Yu Xing chatted with the director's secretary before his speech and learned a new piece of information. The director spared no effort this time to come in person to talk and encourage project applications. He might be hoping that an overall new energy industry zone that is recognized and supported will emerge in Lingang.

"Mr. Yu, this is a systematic project, but in the end it all depends on whether Carbon Silicon Group's cars can get a good response from the market." The secretary talked a lot, and his tone was not quite like his own. Yu Xing couldn't help but want to jump over the mountain when he heard the word "systematic". This was a conventional promise. As the founder, he certainly hoped to see a good result.

Near noon, the founder of Carbon Silicon Group held a small seminar in the company's conference room with the theme of "The Electrification Transformation of Automobiles" and the content came from Zhuang Guanlin's dedicated supply.

This falls within Zhuang Guanlin's business scope, so his manuscripts are naturally very elegant.

However, Yu Xing was interrupted by the leader of the department halfway through his speech.

"Mr. Yu, what you talked about, commercial verification, accumulation of three-electric technology, technology iteration and market expansion, sounds very logical, but I still have no idea whether it can be carried out in practice," asked the leader of the company.

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Whether it can be done or not depends on the market. No matter how fantastic I talk, we have to wait until our car is released to see the feedback."

The leader changed his perspective: "Then do you think that if Tesla enters China, you can compete with Tesla by making extended-range electric vehicles and using the engines of fuel vehicles to make things like this?"

This tone doesn't seem so friendly.

"Technological accumulation is very important." Yu Xing noticed something wrong and said carefully, "Tesla has been developing for many years, but it is not necessarily true that latecomers cannot compare with pioneers. I just talked about the transformation of electrification. Next, I want to talk about its specific progress in automobiles. A good example here is the wire control brake technology, which is commonly known as brakes."

"Our current fuel vehicles all have hydraulic brakes, which transmit pressure through hydraulic oil, and the brake pedal and brake master cylinder are directly connected through a mechanical linkage."

"Brake-by-wire responds via electronic signals, which is faster and more precise, and also has the potential to receive signals from the driver assistance system to achieve active braking."

"Traditional hydraulic brakes rely on the vacuum boost when the engine is running. Once the engine is turned off, this reserve will be quickly consumed, which may cause the brake boost to weaken. However, wire control brakes are independent of the engine and can provide stable..."

The leader frowned and interrupted again: "What does this have to do with what I asked you? What does this have to do with the competition between your extended-range vehicles and Tesla?"

"Yes, sir. The brake-by-wire I'm talking about is the latest achievement. Tesla doesn't use it either. Its Model S this year still uses traditional hydraulic brakes." Yu Xing said seriously, "What I want to say is that our technical accumulation and research on extended-range vehicles can be quickly transferred to pure electric vehicles. This brake-by-wire is a cutting-edge technology that we learned from our contact with the Bosch Group."

"Tesla is indeed ahead, but the development and maturity of cutting-edge technology is something that latecomers like us can also approach and cooperate with, which means we have the possibility of competing with them in the electric vehicle field."

"The iBooster system that Bosch Group is still researching is a typical example."

The department leader was about to speak, but the committee leader who had been listening nearby interrupted with a smile, "Come on, stop making things difficult for Mr. Yu. Is this Bosch thing so good? Can we find a replacement domestically?"

"The Bosch system is very technologically forward-looking. It has not yet been mass-produced and is still being improved. It will take at least two years." Yu Xing said objectively, "It will take a long time from mass production to large-scale use. It will take more time for China to do this. In addition, Bosch may have many patent barriers."

The leader of the committee nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he praised: "It makes sense that Mr. Yu can make the situation of Carbon Silicon Group so good. This is the first time I have heard of such research by Bosch Group."

"As a car company, the contact with suppliers is more direct. We put the safety of the car first. Bosch believes that the iBooster system is very compatible with electric vehicles." Yu Xing glanced at the leaders present and said simply, "For example, it can improve the ability to prevent skidding on slippery roads to a certain extent. This kind of progress is very good."

This makes perfect sense.

The leaders in the conference room nodded one after another. They had a good impression of the young man who founded Carbon Silicon Group. At least, he was very solid.
