Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1840 Professional Team
That night, Duan Yun warmly entertained these car safety experts from Sweden, and then inquired about related matters.

Faced with Duan Yun's consultation, these Swedish experts really showed their professionalism. This time they came to China, they brought more than 200 pages of English materials about the parameters and data of the Volvo 940 safety test, and Some suggestions for real crash tests are also given.

In fact, among these Swedish car safety experts, two older safety experts had already done similar real-life crash experiments when they were young. From the 60s to the mid-70s, many car crash experiments were personally operated by engineers. Among them, an engineer named Jon Fielding lived opposite Duan Yun. He participated in a total of 27 real-life collisions. The most serious At that time, he broke a rib and was hospitalized three times.

According to his experience, the real-life car crash test is indeed very dangerous, but the safety of the current Volvo cars is beyond doubt. As long as the relevant safety measures are in place for the actual 55-kilometer car crash test, there is basically no fatal danger. The damage to the main driver is very small, at most some minor injuries.

And considering that Duan Yun is shooting an advertisement to promote the brand of the car this time, it is entirely possible to "cheat" during the test process, such as making the car collide with an iron block into a brick wall, so that after the wall is broken, It can reduce part of the impact, and the other is to strengthen the safety of the seat to reduce the force on the cervical spine and back, but from the appearance, it is absolutely the same as an ordinary Volvo, just like a car.

In fact, this is not in line with the rigorous test attitude, but this matter itself is a big show, and it is also related to the popularity and favorability of the Volvo car brand in China, so from the very beginning, Volvo headquarters has already paid attention to these cars. The security engineer gave the order that it must succeed.

Duan Yun also listened carefully to the various suggestions put forward by these Swedish experts, and said that he would hand over all the safety preparations for the crash test live broadcast to them.

In addition, at this dinner, Duan Yun also discussed with Volvo's safety experts the establishment of a car crash laboratory in China.

In fact, as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, the automobile crash laboratory is quite avant-garde. Changchun FAW was the first to establish automobile collision in China. They only built the laboratory in 1999. The internal equipment Quite simple, the laboratory traction system uses rubber ropes, the load is 1.5t, the track length is 80 meters, the maximum test speed is only 50 km/h, and there are only less than 5 collision tests per year.

The main reason why there are so few crash tests is that there are not many self-owned brands of cars in China, and the country has not issued strict regulations on car safety. Domestic companies do not pay too much attention to car safety. At that time, the best-selling models in China were basically joint ventures and imported brands. These foreign brands had already conducted relevant tests in foreign manufacturers, so domestic joint ventures did not need to set up their own laboratories at all. After various factors were combined, this happened. This situation is also conceivable.

But Duan Yun is different. He wants to take car safety as a selling point, so he must come up with such a set of things, which will also help to promote the company and new models in the future, and the ultimate goal is to let the Chinese people talk about it. Volvo cars can be immediately associated with safety.

That night, Duan Yun talked a lot with these security experts from Sweden, and in the next few days, these Swedish engineers devoted themselves to work and prepared for this test.

The arrival of these safety experts undoubtedly gave Duan Yun a little more confidence in the live broadcast of the test car collision, but what happened in the next few days made him both funny and moved.

It turned out that after the domestic media reported that Duan Yun was about to personally drive a car to conduct a collision test, and the whole incident was broadcast live on TV, many of Duan Yun's relatives and friends called him one after another to ask whether the incident was true or not, and then advised him not to take such a big risk. risk.

Duan Yun began to feel that these people were making a fuss, but he could also understand some of their thoughts.

After all, as the richest man in his early thirties, mature and in the prime of life, there is really no need to do such risky things, and even if he wants to shoot real-life collision advertisements, as long as the price is higher, there will definitely be countless Many people volunteered to do this for him, which can also have a certain advertising effect, and they don't have to joke about their own lives.

In addition, the current Tianyin Group is the largest private enterprise in China, and it is also half of Shenzhen's electronics industry. There are many people who rely on Duan Yun's company for a living. If something happens to Duan Yun, it is likely to hurt the interests of these people. , it is precisely because of this that so many people take the initiative to care about Duan Yun's security issues.

But for Duan Yun, there is no turning back. If he wants the most sensational advertising effect, he has to go all out. If he can really pass these tests and let his Volvo sedan gain a firm foothold in the Chinese auto market, So even if he was injured and hospitalized, it was worth it for Duan Yun.

In addition to the phone calls from friends from the local business circles in Shenzhen, as well as younger sisters Duan Fang and Li Yun, Duan Yun even received a call from Ruiyang from BJ. During the phone call, Ruiyang asked Duan Yun why he did this, And after learning that Swedish experts had come to China to assist, and the security was very high, he was relieved to hang up his phone.

After all, the live TV broadcast that Duan Yun wants to do this time has indeed caused quite a stir in the country, and the result that Duan Yun wants, and the TV stations in various places that are planning to broadcast this live broadcast, have also received a lot of relevant information locally. It can be seen that Duan Yun's popularity in China is still very high, and his every move will attract many people's attention.

After more than a week of preparation, Duan Yun finally asked the company's advertising department and related TV media to send a notice, informing them that he would conduct a collision test at a selected site in the suburbs of Shenzhen before May 5. Tianyin Group will send out invitation letters in advance for all TV media willing to live broadcast, and give them a week to prepare to go to Shenzhen, and then there will be a special person to contact and receive them.
