Chapter 2205 R&D Rhythm
According to the task assigned by Duan Yun at the meeting, the Shenyang Automobile Development Center must develop an extended version of the Shenxing Samsung sedan before the end of the year, which will have a wheelbase 15cm longer than the benchmark Tianjin Xiali, and the interior space will also be improved. Integrated, the rear seats can all be folded flat.

Although the extension of 15cm does not seem to be an improvement, it is a very good data for the advertisement of the car.

Because for a long time, Chinese people need a comparison when buying a car. In the case of the same domestic price, even if there is an extra 5cm in the advertising parameters, it will have an impact on the psychology of consumers, and Duan Yun’s arrangement this time Technicians redesigned the trunk so that there is more storage space after the seats are folded, which greatly enhances the practicability of the car. After all, in the current domestic market, in addition to carrying passengers, many consumers also need to use It is used to pull goods and things, and the large space will be much more attractive to consumers who focus on this aspect of demand.

In fact, many of the current domestically-produced cars mainly consider the comfort of the rear seats, and do not focus on pulling goods. Although there are also folding seats, in general, the design in this regard is poor.

This time, Duan Yun's improvement of Shen Xing's hatchback and sedan is actually to increase the practicability of the vehicle.

However, Duan Yun and his design team are very cautious even if it is a small improvement, because no matter how it is improved, the performance, durability and safety of the vehicle cannot be compromised at all, because once a major accident occurs, The reputation of the entire brand will be severely damaged, which is absolutely unacceptable to Tianyin Group.

In fact, it is normal for cars in this era to occasionally have some minor problems, but as long as the after-sales service is done well, especially the maintenance is convenient, it can not only make up for some minor problems existing in the vehicle, but also bring some goodwill and reputation to users , In this regard, Tianyin Group has a strong advantage.

"I'm very relieved to hand over the Shenyang R&D Center to you. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. I hope to see the mass production of new extended models before the end of the year. You must complete this task." Leaving the conference room at night At that time, Duan Yun and the person in charge Chen Qiao were walking in the aisle, and Duan Yun said to Chen Qiao seriously.

"Mr. Duan, don't worry, I promise to complete the task. We have such strength. As long as the research and development funds are in place, the product upgrade will definitely be fast." Chen Qiao said confidently.

Chen Qiao is currently managing the R&D center more and more smoothly, and for now, the Shenyang Automobile R&D Center has formed a work inertia, almost every 2~3 months, the relevant models are almost upgraded and improved , This update speed has far exceeded other domestic car companies.

In fact, apart from Tianyin Group, other domestic auto companies are quite slow in the development of product models. Joint ventures such as FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen rely heavily on the technology of the original German factory. The introduction of new models After that, most of their work was to localize the technologies imported from Germany. This alone has already consumed most of their manpower and funds. It cannot be said that they have no ability to independently develop new cars, but in fact they are relatively weak. of.

In addition, other domestic auto companies, except Tianyin Group, are basically state-owned enterprises, so their technology upgrades are also very slow. This has something to do with the state-owned enterprise system. New project approval is complicated and the cycle is long. R&D funds are allocated slowly or are often misappropriated. Many reasons combine to cause many state-owned auto companies to still eat their laurels until now. The gap between them and international advanced models is more than ten or even twenty years. Elimination seems to have become an inevitable fate for these established car companies.

Therefore, compared with other domestic companies, Tianyin Group is more flexible in this regard. The 2-3 month product technology improvement and upgrade cycle setting exceeds that of many foreign car companies. Although they are all small technology upgrades and improvements, Shenyang Every technical improvement of the automobile research and development center is carried out in a targeted manner through the feedback information provided by domestic 4S stores, so every upgrade has more or less improved the market competitiveness of automobile products, and even some small improvements have brought Here comes a very big competitive advantage.

Relatively speaking, Duan Yunzai’s investment in automobile research and development in the past few years is also very large. The R&D center in Shenyang alone invests about 3 million to 5 million yuan a year. This kind of investment scale is comparable to other domestic companies. It is beyond reach, and it may even sound a little exaggerated, but for Duan Yun, who is determined to catch up with the advanced technology of international automobiles, the money spent is very necessary.

Moreover, compared with other domestic car companies, Duan Yun has a very big advantage, that is, Tianyin Group can self-develop and produce all electronic components and chips in the car. Even at the beginning of this year, Tianyin Group Taking advantage of the opportunity of participating in the Beidou satellite communication project, the group has developed the first domestic automobile satellite positioning system, and the related electronic navigation and map software systems are also being developed. It is estimated that by the middle of next year, the first domestic vehicle will be produced. A family car that supports a satellite positioning system.

In fact, Duan Yun has been imitating foreign products and technologies for a long time since he first came to Shenzhen to start a business more than ten years ago, such as walkmans, video recorders, etc., but in recent years, his Tianyin Group has gradually become an international The leader of advanced electronic products, such as VCD, DVD and MP3, etc. The research and development of these products has benefited from the investment in product technology research and development in the past ten years on the one hand, including technical cooperation with foreign multinational manufacturers. On the other hand, it is very important It is also because Duan Yun has the foresight of his previous life, which enables him to have a very precise product positioning, and also avoids major mistakes that may be made when many car models are approved.

"The more cars we sell, the higher the funds and bonuses you will get. Sometimes you don't need to start your own business, you just need to work hard to get the wealth and reputation you want." Duan looked at Chen. Qiao glanced at him, and then said: "Actually, you are not very old now, and you can still fight for another ten or eight years. For the rest of your life, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and the happiness of your family and children, so it is worthwhile to fight with your life." , you have to understand this, men, career is always the most important..."

"Understood." Chen Qiao nodded, and then said: "Mr. Duan, don't worry, with me here, our Shenyang Automobile R&D Center will never let you down. I don't have any other ideas in the future, and I will work here wholeheartedly. , this is my second home, Mr. Duan is the only boss in my life!"
