Chapter 287: Chapter 281

“Really? Is it much different from existing car engines?”

“The fuel injection method and piston structure are different.”

Kuroda explained the principle of that very briefly.

Most new engines developed today used direct fuel injection. In the past, the port injection method simply sucked the fuel by the suction force generated during the piston movement without deliberately applying pressure.

This reduced the power because the fuel had to be trapped in the engine and compressed by the force of the piston.

Direct fuel injection directly injected fuel without compression, eliminating that factor.

But the important thing was timing. Fuel efficiency and explosion time should be as short as possible to increase efficiency. It was also important to mix the fuel with oxygen well.

Kuroda said, “To minimize this time, I have developed a four-channel direct injection engine. It is a method of injecting fuel from all four places simultaneously with three channels around the sides and one channel in the ceiling of the chamber.”

Come to think of it, Hyunwoo felt it could be really effective because, at the time of spraying, fuel can spread as much as possible and mix easily with air.

Kuroda continued, “How much explosion energy you can concentrate on the piston is also an important factor. If fuel is sprayed on a wall needlessly, it would take lots of energy away. After various experiments, I have developed a more efficient piston structure.”

“Wow, that's great!”

Duyoung and Hyunwoo exclaimed with delight.

But Kuroda waved both hands in a show of humility.

“Oh, it's just a slight difference from existing engines. Don't expect too much.”

While listening to Kuroda's explanation, Hyunwoo recalled what he heard before.

Hyunwoo experienced lots of stuff while working at various companies including Aurum. And he was very much impressed with one phrase.

At a glance, it didn't make any sense. But it really made sense with a little more thinking.

It meant that drastic improvements were possible when there was a change in the paradigm.

In other words, it was not to make innovation by improving existing things, but to make innovation by developing new things.

If one could make innovation like that, even 5000% improvement in efficiency was possible.

It looked as if Hyunwoo could shock the auto market using Samryong Motors.

Nodding his head, Hyunwoo said, “Got it. Let me try to save Samryong Motors.”

Hyunwoo immediately translated what he said into action. He sent a letter of intent to takeover of Samryong Motors to Shanghai Motors.

When Hyunwoo took the initiative, Shanghai Motors suddenly changed its att.i.tude, and that through the media.

<samryong motors=”” is=”” the=”” signature=”” brand=”” of=”” korean=”” cars.=”” we=”” won't=”” sell=”” it=”” at=”” a=”” bargain.=””>

When he read it, Hyunwoo laughed sardonically.

It was only 600 billion won that Shanghai Motors paid for the takeover of Samryong Motors. After its takeover, Shanghai Motors didn't make any investment, let alone develop any technology. Rather it concentrated on taking Samryong's technology.

Hyunwoo refuted Shanghai's argument through the media, too.

Hyunwoo's announcement was not in words alone. He stopped any discussion related to the takeover.

Shanghai Motors also continued to dig its heels. It seemed to think there were lots of other companies than KOVE DREAM that could take over Samryong Motors.

Time pa.s.sed, and Hyunwoo completely lost interest in the takeover.

In the meantime, Suji's wedding ceremony was set to take place.

Hyunwoo agonized a bit.

‘Should I attend?'

He had to, given his long ties with her, but he could not attend.

It was not because he once loved her. Not only Hyunwoo but also Suji and Jungsu, her bridegroom, would not be conscious of that.

The reason he couldn't attend her wedding ceremony was that he was now a famous businessman. If Hyunwoo attended it, lots of reporters would also come to cover it, which could produce gossip stories about their past romantic relations.h.i.+p.

Hyunwoo wouldn't care about it as he used to be the talk of the town, but Suji and Jungsu might feel very embarra.s.sed about it. It might even disturb their marriage life.

Hyunwoo sent a congratulatory wreath to her, along with a long text message congratulating her marriage. In the message, he explained why he couldn't attend.

She replied with a short message.

<thanks for=”” your=”” consideration.=””>

A considerable period of time has pa.s.sed since Suji's wedding.

No other company was willing to take over Samryong Motors. In the meantime, it continued to lose money.

Shanghai Motors urgently appealed to the Korean government to help it sell Samryong Motors.

Naturally, KOVE DREAM was back in the media limelight.

Sometime later a ruling party member called Hyunwoo directly.

“Nice to talk to you. I'm Jungmin Hw.a.n.g.”
