#189 - The Strange Poor Series (Part 1)

When Li Li heard that Lu Haifeng had begun developing modular platform technology, he immediately flattered him, saying, "President Lu, if you develop it in the future, you must help our Liji build a modular platform as well. Money is not a problem."

Li Li gave Lu Haifeng a heads-up in advance. It wasn't that he was short of money, but that he wanted to buy something that no one was selling. Now that he heard that Lu Haifeng had begun development, he believed that with Audi's strength, they would definitely be able to develop it.

Liji can be considered one of the best-performing domestic car companies, along with others like Great Wall, Landwind, and Tai Shan.

Therefore, the CEOs of these companies also gave Lu Haifeng a heads-up, saying that once Audi had developed its own platform, they would definitely want him to help them build one as well.

As for the remaining car companies, they were all drooling with envy. They weren't as rich as Liji and the others, and they couldn't afford such a brand-new platform.

Hearing this, Lu Haifeng immediately agreed, saying, "Okay, once we develop it, we will definitely help you build your own modular platform."

After touring the Audi assembly workshop, Lu Haifeng then took them to visit the Audi engine production line.

Compared to the car production line, they were obviously more interested in the engine production line.

Because they didn't have this thing, a group of engineers looked like curious babies, carefully observing every process.

Even the CEOs, like curious babies, followed behind the engineers, studying the engine's production technology.

However, just looking at the production process couldn't reveal any core technology, so after watching for a while, these people all sighed, filled with envy and jealousy.

They envied Audi's engineers for being able to design their own engines.

After the group came out of the workshop, Lu Haifeng saw that it was almost 12 noon, so he directly took everyone to the employee cafeteria for a meal.

It's not that Lu Haifeng was bragging, but the food in Huaxing Technology's employee cafeteria could definitely beat any five-star hotel.

Lobster, abalone, pheasant, duck, rabbit, seasonal seafood, and other delicacies were all available.

The car company CEOs looked at the food in the employee cafeteria in shock, jokingly saying, "President Lu, what are we going to do when we go back? Look at the envious eyes of our engineers."

"President Lu, tell us the truth, were you running a restaurant before, and then started making cars when the restaurant couldn't continue?"

"I've learned something this time. After I go back, I'm going to make my company's cafeteria just like yours!"

"President Lu, this trick is really amazing, using food to increase employees' sense of belonging and honor to the company."

These domestic car company CEOs were extremely envious of Lu Haifeng's crazy cafeteria strategy.

They also expressed that they would immediately learn from Lu Haifeng's model after returning, and improve their own employee cafeterias to a higher level.

Lu Haifeng smiled without saying a word. If you knew the scale of Huaxing Technology's cafeteria, you would probably be scared to death.

After lunch and a short rest, Lu Haifeng led these car company CEOs and their engineers to the Audi Automobile Laboratory Building.

Tang San had already made preparations there to welcome the arrival of these generous clients.

In the exhibition hall on the first floor of the laboratory, the employees of Audi's technical department had already prepared samples of various engine models and transmissions to be sold to domestic car companies, and displayed them there.

Lu Haifeng led a large group of people into the laboratory building.

Immediately, all the car company engineers were attracted by the various engine models displayed in the exhibition hall.

"So many different models, different displacements, and different technologies of engines and transmissions?"

"Oh my god, Audi has actually developed so many engines!"

"Is this a 1.5T turbocharged engine?"

"Qiqiong series turbocharged engine, direct injection in the cylinder, variable timing chain, turbocharging, maximum power of 132KW, maximum torque of 220N.m, maximum horsepower of 185 horsepower, is this the value of a turbocharged engine?"

"Really? Let me see!"

"Damn, this performance is too powerful! 1.5T maximum horsepower of 185 horsepower, this can be called the strongest 1.5T engine on earth!"

"Look, this is the most beautiful work of art!"

The engineers of each car company looked at the introduction materials next to each engine, their eyes filled with envy.

Especially the 1.5T four-cylinder engine named Qiqiong series by Lu Haifeng, the data on the report could simply kill any civilian car engine of the same displacement in the world.

This small engine uses direct injection in the cylinder, a variable timing chain, and a 4-2 exhaust manifold technology.

In addition, Tang San specially improved the high-efficiency oblique flow low-inertia turbocharger, which is to redesign the angle of the turbine blades.

The cross-sectional area of the force-bearing area is increased, so that the turbine can reach a higher speed, intervene faster, and respond more directly.

Overall, this Qiqiong 1.5T engine takes into account strong power while effectively ensuring fuel economy.

This is a monster-level engine that Lu Haifeng prepared for these car companies, and he believed that these CEOs would definitely like it.

Now, not only the engineers were attracted by this engine, but even the car company CEOs were all gathered in front of the Qiqiong 1.5T engine, each one looking at the small engine and drooling.

Currently, domestic cars use the most 1.5L engines, because the small displacement is relatively fuel-efficient, and the price is also cheap, so it is very suitable for low-end models.

As for 2.0L engines, they are mostly used in SUVs, while sedans are basically dominated by small displacements.

And just like this 1.5T Qiqiong engine, while the displacement is small, it also takes into account strong power and fuel economy. This is definitely the heart of the car that domestic car companies dream of.

Lu Haifeng asked Tang San to develop and modify this small Qiqiong series 1.5T turbocharged engine on the basis of the system purchase, specifically for the current needs of domestic car companies.

The entire Qiqiong series of turbocharged engines includes three different displacement engines.

1. 5T / 1.8T / 2.0T

Each displacement engine is designed and developed with the goal of pursuing strong power and fuel economy.

However, the Qiqiong series engines are what Lu Haifeng wants those car companies to configure for performance cars and relatively high-priced models.

As for those models with prices below 80,000, they will not be allowed to use this engine, after all, the cost of this engine is too high.
