It's okay not to mention the car wind tunnel. After a detailed investigation report was made, Cao Yang felt that this project was really worth promoting.

After all, there are many tests to be done during the development of new models.

Even if you don't build sports cars, car wind tunnels still have great value.

Naturally, it is necessary for friends and businessmen to understand this truth.

"Mr. Wang, I would like to push the relevant departments of Lingnan Province to set up an automotive wind tunnel laboratory to provide various tests for the development of new models in the future."

"Is BYD interested in this project?"

Action is worse than a heartbeat.

After realizing the importance of this matter, Cao Yang directly called Wang Fu from BYD.

This kind of investment involves four to five billion yuan. Even if each family shares it together, it may still cost about 100 million yuan.

In order to finalize this project as soon as possible, it will naturally be promoted from top to bottom, and the difficulty will be much lower.

Otherwise, there will be reports and reviews at all levels, and we don’t know when the results will be final.

"Automotive wind tunnel laboratory?"

Although Wang Fu does not have a background in automobiles, as the general manager of BYD Auto, he has naturally learned a lot about the automobile industry in the past few years.

Naturally, he had heard of such a thing as a wind tunnel.

International automobile giants basically have their own wind tunnel laboratories.

"Mr. Cao, there seems to be no domestic OEM that does this stuff. It seems very expensive, right?"

Although BYD Auto's sales are very good, its profits are actually not very high.

After all, we are taking a low-end route. If a car can have a net profit of one or two thousand, that's about it.

In this case, investment in research and development is naturally more prudent.

Especially if it is a relatively indirect and dispensable investment, you should be even more cautious.

“It would indeed be quite expensive for a single manufacturer to build it, but if the relevant departments of Lingnan Province come forward and involve several of our OEMs and universities, and everyone contributes part of the funds and personnel, the final cost should not be very high.

"

"If you can get the relevant institutions in Shenzhen City to participate, the funds we need by then may only be tens of millions."

"Though tens of millions seem to be quite a lot, with the establishment of this laboratory, many of the future high-temperature and low-temperature experiments can be done in the wind tunnel laboratory."

"And sooner or later in the future, BYD will take the road of independent innovation. At that time, the design of the car's appearance and the verification of the drag coefficient will all require this laboratory."

Cao Yang quickly told Wang Fu the benefits of the car wind tunnel.

Others Wang Fu may not care so much, but he is really interested in independent research and development in the future.

After imitating and developing the three models of f6/s6/f3, they have accumulated some experience.

In the future, we will definitely have to slowly transition to the path of independent development.

In addition, he was more aware of some of the influences behind this joint project, so he gave his reply without much hesitation.

"Mr. Cao, the construction of this automotive wind tunnel laboratory is very beneficial to the development of the automobile industry in Lingnan Province, and it is also very beneficial to the development of our two companies."

"Of course I support it, and I will arrange for people to connect with Xingchen Automobile later to promote the development of this project in both places."

One phone call settled the deal with BYD, and Cao Yang made a special trip to Lingnan University of Technology.

As Xiang Changle's student, Cao Yang could theoretically consider graduating as a graduate student.

However, both Lingnan University of Technology and Xiang Changle himself want to continue to tie Cao Yang together.

Therefore, studying for a master’s degree and a Ph.D. has become a natural thing.

There was no need for Cao Yang to refuse this kind of thing, which was not harmful to him.

Of course, this time I came here to definitely not talk about reading-related matters.

"Teacher, I think this is a good opportunity for the Automotive School of Lingnan University of Technology. The automotive wind tunnel laboratory is currently the only one in Jilin University that is very simple."

"Strictly speaking, there is no real automotive wind tunnel laboratory in China."

"If Lingnan University of Technology can strive to build this laboratory on the new campus, it will be very beneficial to the development of the automotive engineering major."

“It can even attract a group of teachers from other universities to switch jobs and take up positions.”

Cao Yang came here today to talk to Xiang Changle about the automotive wind tunnel laboratory.

Although Liu Tianwu was also pushing, he naturally couldn't let it go.

Yangcheng Automobile is a state-owned enterprise, so it was left to Liu Tianwu to communicate.

Some transportation departments and scientific research institutes, which Nanshan Group had not dealt with before, were also handed over to Liu Tianwu.

But for BYD and Lingnan University of Technology, he must be prepared to come forward on his own.

From a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a small team.

There are three gangs of heroes. When the laboratory is built, if there is no one inside to speak for you, there will be a lot of constraints in its use.

"Your reminder is so timely. Now the school has built a new campus in University Town, which happens to be in the same area as your company."

"In this case, it means that Leader Liu will definitely support our proposal."

"Lest this name be taken away by the Transportation Bureau or other agencies."

"However, our school may not be able to spend much money."

Xiang Changle would naturally not mince words when talking to Cao Yang.

It’s not that he really wants to save money for the school, but that scientific research funding in this era is indeed relatively limited.

Tens or hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on building a joint laboratory, and it was very difficult to get approval.

In this regard, Cao Yang did have some foresight.

"This is quite simple. Lingnan University of Technology can provide the technology, personnel and space, and the funds for the purchase of other equipment will be provided by BYD, Xingchen Automobile and related institutions."

"Leader Liu is helping to promote this project, and the district will definitely come up with a fund when the time comes."

"If we apply for a fee from Yangcheng City and Lingnan Province, we should be able to build the laboratory."

As long as the laboratory is run by Lingnan University of Technology, this matter is within Cao Yang's control.

Anyway, he didn’t expect Lingnan University of Technology to pay from the beginning.

He even thought about donating a sum of money himself to pay for Lingnan Polytechnic University.

But think about it, in this case, Lingnan Polytechnic University will basically not feel the benefits of donating money.

So forget it.

Since you want to collect wool, you should collect some from your friends.

He felt that Yangcheng Automobile Group would be very interested.

"If that's the case, then of course it's for the best."

"It just so happened that during this period, several teachers from our college were poached by the Yangcheng Automobile Research Institute. I was also worried about how to introduce several experts from other schools to strengthen the scientific research capabilities of the college."

"With this automotive wind tunnel laboratory, at least two or three professors can be placed there to conduct research."

"This is really beneficial to the development of the automotive engineering major in our college."

Xiang Changle often deals with Nanshan Group, and his thinking is more active now.

The automotive wind tunnel laboratory is definitely very beneficial to Lingnan University of Technology.

"Then let's work hard in this direction?"

Cao Yang was not surprised that Xiang Changle would agree with his point of view.

This can be done even with a phone call.

But coming here in person seems more respectful.

"No problem, I will report it to the school immediately, and then the school and college will come forward together to try to finalize this project as soon as possible."

If something is beneficial, everyone will naturally be highly motivated.

Soon, Xiang Changle made several phone calls in front of Cao Yang and began to arrange personnel to advance the matter.

"Ayang, Nanshan Group has made a lot of achievements during this period, especially Xingchen Automobile, which really gave everyone a lot of surprises."

"I heard that your Ziweixing will be officially unveiled at the Yangcheng Auto Show?"

After getting down to business, Cao Yang naturally felt bad and immediately left.

So we had a brief chat in Xiang Changle's office.

"Yes, this has been confirmed."

"Now the sales department has started to contact advertisers to design the booth, and the exhibition will officially start setting up next week."

"Teacher, you are welcome to come and visit us then."

A lot of news has been released one after another, and Xingchen Automobile's products are finally officially available to everyone.
