Chapter 436: That's Not How You Make Tea
"How to say?"
As soon as Fang Xiang entered Cao Tianwei's office, he saw Cao Tianwei making tea.
"I'm going to put together a team for him."
Fang Xiang watched Cao Tianwei's increasingly skilled tea-making skills and waited quietly.
He didn't speak until the exquisite white porcelain teacup was filled with Pu'er tea.
"You really think highly of him?
Don’t you even look at what garbage he made…”
Cao Tianwei has improved now. He knows that Pu'er tea cannot be brewed in a large bowl, so he bought a set of special tea sets for brewing tea.
But how come as tea-brewing techniques have improved, people have become more extreme?
“That’s not the way it should be said.
Even if it's garbage, it's still an attempt, right?
In the past, I had no money and no energy to research electric cars, but now I have found a way to succeed through my own hard work.
We shouldn't attack others.
Besides, I’m quite optimistic about him.”
Fang Xiang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Then he noticed a strong smell and glanced at the teapot, wondering if Cao Tianwei had forgotten to wash the tea.
“Well, now that you have money, you can spend money on these new things?
In my opinion, it would be better to open two more production lines, build a few more cars, and earn some foreign exchange. . . ”
However, Cao Tianwei held the teacup and drank it happily, not feeling that the taste was wrong at all.
"If you say so, why should we get military equipment?
Why not just get rid of the army and focus on the economy? "
Fang Xiang was also helpless.
Cao Tianwei is now in his fifties and has reached the conservative age.
The ability to accept new things has decreased, and the mind is full of the little things in front of it.
“That’s different...
So, you really think he can make some noise?"
Cao Tianwei finally realized that there was something wrong with Fang Xiang's attitude at this time.
He put down the teacup and pondered for a moment, then thought about his junior brother. Half a lifetime had passed, so where had he made any mistakes?
Since Fang Xiang has decided to do this, does it mean he really thinks it is a good idea?
“Trams definitely have a future.
But not now.
Nowadays, it is still troublesome for ordinary people to use electricity, with power outages happening every other day.
At night, you have to calculate the electricity bill when you turn on a light or watch TV.
If his kind of fully rechargeable car is really to be mass-produced, I can’t say whether it will work abroad.
At least in the country, there is absolutely no market for it.
Just one point, how to solve the problem of charging, has completely blocked the road of his pure electric car. "
Fang Xiang picked up the teapot, opened the lid and took a look, and a puff of mist rose up.
I put the teapot under my nose and smelled it, and sure enough, there was a strong smell.
Just pour the tea leaves directly into the trash can.
"Hey! I just made some tea and I haven't even had the second sip yet..."
When Cao Tianwei saw it, he immediately became anxious.
"You're making a pot of shit. I'll make you a pot of it."
Fang Xiang moved very quickly and there was no way Cao Tianwei could stop him.
As he spoke, he poured out the whole piece of Pu'er tea in the teapot.
Then he grabbed the piece of Pu'er tea, glanced at it, and actually found a tea knife. He then gently pried off a piece and separated it carefully.
"Now that you've said that, why do you still support him?"
Seeing that the tea had been poured out, Cao Tianwei said nothing more.
His eyes were fixed on Fang Xiang's hands, intending to see what he would do, but his mouth was not idle.
“If the pure electric vehicle route is not feasible, then we can take another route.
It can be a hybrid or an extended-range model.
I'm not stupid. I know that building trams is a dead end, so why would I keep banging my head against the wall?"
Fang Xiang was also quick and efficient. He opened the tea in his hands and explained at the same time.
“What is a hybrid and what is an extended range?
Why do I feel so confused? "
This was the first time Cao Tianwei heard this new word, so naturally he asked about it.
"Is such that......"
Fang Xiang unpacked the teapot, then picked up the thermos and started pouring water into it.
After filling it up, he picked up the teapot, shook it, and poured out the water.
Cao Tianwei's eyelids were trembling so much that he could hardly open them.
But Fang Xiang was talking and he couldn't interrupt him, so he could only hold it in.
After washing the teapot twice, there was no water left in the kettle.
"Xiao Wu, go get another pot of water."
Fang Xiang finally explained the meaning of hybrid and extended-range to Cao Tianwei.
Only then did he realize that there was no water in the kettle. Then he held the kettle and gave an instruction to Cao Tianwei's secretary.
"What were you doing just now?"
Cao Tianwei was still feeling sorry for his tea leaves at this moment, and he didn't know whether he had listened to him or not.
“Wash the tea.
Don’t you think the tea you brew has a strange taste?”
Fang wanted to sit down again and rolled his eyes.
“I think it’s pretty good...
So, you plan to let him study hybrid and extended-range vehicles?"
Cao Tianwei rubbed his nose with his fingers.
I felt that drinking tea was a very elaborate thing, so I simply didn't mention it and got back to the main topic.
“It’s mostly hybrid.
Hybrid is relatively simple. Just add four small motors and replace the battery with a larger one.
The requirements for electronic control are also low, but it can significantly reduce fuel consumption.
If progress is fast, I estimate that we will have a finished product in two years.”
Fang Xiang picked up the cigarette box that Cao Tianwei had placed on the table, took out two cigarettes, and gave one to himself and one to Cao Tianwei.
“Can it reduce fuel consumption?
How much lower?
Cao Tianwei was also self-aware and immediately picked up a match and lit cigarettes for the two of them.
In an instant the room began to fill with smoke.
"It's hard to say if it's more, but 20 to 30 percent is still okay."
Fang Xiang took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled a long string of smoke.
Then he spoke slowly.
"Saving so much? Impossible, right?"
Cao Tianwei's face showed some surprise and some disbelief.
"Then let me ask you, under what circumstances does a car consume the most fuel?"
Fang Xiang flicked the ash from his cigarette, raised his eyelids and looked at Cao Tianwei.
“Of course it’s when starting and slowing down, right?
Then it’s time for rapid acceleration and high-speed cruising.”
Cao Tianwei raised his nose. How could this question stump him?
They are all veterans who have been working in the automotive industry for 1 years. This question is equivalent to asking them what 1+ equals.
"Professor, the water is here."
At this time, Secretary Xiao Wu came in with a kettle. After placing the kettle next to Fang Xiang, he quietly stepped aside.
"Then let me ask you, if it is at the starting stage or at a low speed.
Would it be possible to save a lot of fuel if electric motors were used to replace the engine functions?"
Fang wanted to remove the wooden cork from the thermos and start pouring water into the teapot.
After the teapot was filled with water, he put the kettle down and started to pour tea into the teacups in front of the two people.
"hiss...
You are right!
only. . . "
Cao Tianwei suddenly changed from leaning on the chair to sitting upright.
He looked at Fang Xiang with an incredible expression.
"Just what?"
Fang Xiang ignored him, but picked up the teacup again, blew away the hot steam on it, and took a small sip.
Mm, it tastes much better this time.
“That doesn’t save much fuel, does it?
unless. . . "
Cao Tianwei's eyes rolled and he immediately thought of another thing.
"Unless you accelerate suddenly, the motor will also be involved, right?"
Fang Xiang blew on the teacup again, and after the temperature dropped, he sipped the tea in small sips.
Then he looked up at Cao Tianwei and smiled.
