Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

meeting room.

"Adopting a 12-volt hybrid power system is very simple to modify. The cost of a 10-kilowatt generator is around 2,000 yuan, the cost of the electronic control system is 1,000 yuan, and the cost of the two additional sets of batteries is 2,000 yuan. Such a system would cost 5,000 yuan. I'm talking about RMB."

Ma Ming's presentation was very thorough.

"In summary, it can save about two liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. If you drive 20,000 kilometers a year, that's 400 liters. At a price of three yuan per liter, that's about a thousand yuan. You can recoup the cost in four or five years."

Hearing Ma Ming say this, Qin Chuan frowned. "Brother, that's not how you do it. It takes five years to recoup the cost. After five years, the system will probably be broken. Wouldn't that be a waste of time?"

"Besides saving fuel, the most important thing is protecting the environment. After all, we only have one Earth," Qin Chuan added. "For the sake of the environment, it's only right that we spend more money, not to mention now, as long as we use a hybrid system, we can save both money and fuel. Volkswagen, as the largest car manufacturer in Europe, spends..."

How many tens of thousands of vehicles were there? I don't know myself!

"Even if only one million cars are equipped with this hybrid system each year, it can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels by 400 million tons. This is a huge contribution to environmental protection! Volkswagen will also become the most influential car company in Europe!"

Huang Wenlan frowned. Which company doesn't value profits, especially Western companies! What's the point of you talking about environmental protection here?

"That's right, President Qin is right!"

Piëch actually nodded!

Huang Wenlan was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out: These profit-driven capitalists actually talk about protecting the earth?

"Mr. Qin, how much do you plan to sell this technology for?"

"Ahem, well, when Mr. Karl came last time, I already mentioned that the technology is not yet perfect. Volkswagen is still our best friend in the East, so we'll just symbolically accept a technology transfer fee of thirty million US dollars!"

thirty million!

Since Volkswagen entered the East, only Easterners have been paying Volkswagen patent fees. Even now that the Santana has achieved 100% localization, Volkswagen still has to pay a sum of money for every car sold.

Now, they can actually make money off the masses?

This...how is this possible!

Huang Wenlan was utterly shocked; she couldn't understand it. However… if this succeeded, it would definitely be a turning point in the history of the Eastern Automobile Industry, and she, as a leader of the Eastern Automobile Industry who personally participated in this matter, would have a significant mark on her resume!

Thinking of this, Huang Wenlan smiled. "Not bad, not bad. We must give Laiyang Group our full support in the future!"

“President Qin, the price of 30 million is a bit too much. After all, your design is very primitive, especially the control system, which directly installs the motor switch on the accelerator pedal. This is far from being practical…” Piëch immediately shook his head.

Next comes the bargaining stage!

"That's because we don't have the source code for the electronic fuel injection engine, so we can't integrate it. We can only try it with a carburetor engine, and it's still a manual transmission. If you give us a high-end vehicle and the source code, and let us integrate it, we can perfectly integrate the hybrid system!" Ma Ming said.

Only electronic fuel injection engines have electronic throttle and can monitor electrical signals to integrate hybrid power. The current simple operation is only because we are too pressed for time to decipher the control code of electronic fuel injection engines!

When it comes to technology, Ma Ming never admits that he is inferior to anyone!

"That's right, that's exactly it. If you want to integrate it into high-end cars, we can help you with that too, just add another 20 million US dollars for tuning!"

“President Qin, this fee is too high. We can only offer a maximum of ten million US dollars!” Piëch said.

"If you think it's too expensive, then we'll change it to a per-vehicle fee. We'll give you one hundred dollars for each vehicle equipped with our system, a steady stream of revenue. How about that?"

Of course not, not even ten dollars a car would be enough. But if we sold a million hybrid cars a year, that would be ten million dollars!

"No, no, we want to pay in one lump sum. We can add another two million, up to twelve million US dollars!"

"Twenty-eight million US dollars, that's the lowest we can go! This is the most sincere price we can offer!"

At this point, Huang Wenlan became somewhat curious. It's just adding a motor, isn't it? Why would the Germans come here to buy the technology? Couldn't they just go back and research it themselves?

"The most important part of this system is the control unit. We've used state-of-the-art electronic equipment in the controller; these technologies are priceless!"

Adding a drive motor is easy, but controlling its operation is very difficult! Currently, apart from Laiyang Group, only General Motors' electric vehicle project has this technology.

Lopez, who came from General Motors, knew very well that if Western engineers were to conduct the research, it would definitely not be possible to produce it for 30 million US dollars; it would have to cost several times more!

The two sides argued fiercely for a full twenty minutes before finally settling on a price.

"Then it's twenty million US dollars! Mr. Qin, after this system is sold to Volkswagen, it's not allowed to be sold to other car companies, and you can't even use it yourselves!"

"Yes, that's fine! You now own all the intellectual property rights to this 12-volt BSG motor system!"

Qin Chuan was well aware of how weak this technology was. Even if they used BSG in the future, it would still be 48 volts, requiring a 12-to-48 volt DC-DC converter, which would necessitate the use of gallium nitride (GaN) components! Their relevant companies were working on it, and more time would come…

Companies all over the world have to come to us to buy our technology!

"Everyone, to celebrate our successful transaction, we're heading to the cafeteria now. We've prepared some delicious food for you!"

Huang Wenlan was in a daze. It really worked! Volkswagen, this world-class automotive giant, bought a set of technologies from our East and spent a staggering 20 million US dollars!

Ma Ming was also very happy. Although President Qin had previously said he was willing to provide funding for the electromagnetic catapult project, Ma Ming felt embarrassed to take money from Laiyang Group for nothing. Now that he could earn money on his own, it felt really good!

At noon, after a round of drinks, the Germans all got quite drunk. As they got into their cars and drove away, a gust of cold wind sobered them up, and they realized they had forgotten something: they still hadn't gone inside the other side's car factory to take a look!

What's the internal workings of this Chung Hwa Motor factory really like? Are the production lines advanced or outdated? What about the engines? What kind of engines are they planning to develop? We have no idea about any of these things!

Forget it, let's talk about it next time. Anyway, once the agreement officially takes effect, Volkswagen will send someone here to coordinate, and then we'll be able to find out what's going on!
