Chapter 824 Got the order

New York, Huaxia Representative Office to the United Nations.

"Your car looks very good." Comrade Qiu Guofeng looked at the coloring page of the Sylphy sedan and nodded repeatedly: "Our country can produce such a good car."

Zhang Qihang took out a VCD disc from his bag and said, "Leader, we should have a VCD player here, right? We also made a special evaluation video. Through this video, you can learn more about our car, including The size of the space inside and so on.”

Looking at the VCD disc in Zhang Qihang's hand, and listening to the evaluation content in the VCD disc that Zhang Qihang said, Qiu Guofeng was a little surprised, and also a little surprised: "You really have intentions."

Before this, Qiu Guofeng was actually somewhat worried. After all, the promotional materials were all for the better, but what was the actual situation?Seeing that Zhang Qihang had prepared so well, and even made a VCD video disc, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart for a while: No wonder this little comrade Zhang was able to succeed, he was really well prepared.

Zhang Qihang said modestly: "This is what it should be."

Of course, the huge representative office has a VCD player. Qiu Guofeng brought Zhang Qihang to the small conference room, turned on the TV and VCD, and put the VCD disc in. After a while, a refreshing evaluation video appeared on the In front of Qiu Guofeng's eyes...

When making this evaluation video, Zhang Qihang borrowed a lot from the production methods of the evaluation videos of major automobile websites in later generations, and listed the body data on it, and because it is a self-made video, there is no need to consider so many legal issues. So this video is not so much a review video of Sylphy sedan, but a comparative evaluation video of Sylphy sedan with Santana, Santana 2000 and Fukang sedan.

Through this video, Qiu Guofeng can clearly see that Huateng Sylphy is ahead of competitors in almost all dimensions such as design concept, space, modernization, power, configuration level, and electronic and electrical level.

And in order to let the users watching this video understand the space of this car more intuitively, Zhang Qihang also specially invited a male host with a height of 172 and a female host with a height of 160 from the city TV station to do this program at the same time—— The male is 172 cm tall and the female is 160 cm tall. Among the adult men of this era, it can be said to be above average.

Seeing the two hosts sitting in the car one behind the other, the car still looked extraordinarily spacious, Qiu Guofeng nodded repeatedly: "The space in this car is still quite sufficient."

"Yes," Zhang Qihang said: "Our Sylphy sedan has advantages over competitors in terms of both horizontal and vertical space. Not only that, we have not cut corners in some places that are not easy to be noticed, such as seat cushions. Length and thickness...Leader you see, this will be discussed soon..."

Ok?
When Qiu Guofeng heard this, he immediately read it carefully. Sure enough, through the comparison test by the same host, it can be seen that the length and angle of the seat cushion of the Sylphy sedan can have a good effect on the thighs regardless of whether it is the front seat or the rear seat. In contrast, Santana, Santana 2000 and Beverly, either the cushion is short, or the inclination angle of the cushion is not enough, which leads to poor support, or the cushion is not only short but also not supportive enough...

"That's really the case." Seeing such an intuitive comparison, Qiu Guofeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If you didn't watch this review video yourself, who would have thought that these good cars sold in China would actually cut corners? ?”

What Qiu Guofeng didn't expect was that Zhang Qihang actually refuted his words and helped the public talk to Citroen...

"It can't be said that they are cutting corners," Zhang Qihang said, facing Qiu Guofeng's eyes that suddenly became astonished, Zhang Qihang explained: "For example, the Santana car that is still sold in our country is very good. When was this car sold?" Designed?

late 70s.

It's been almost 20 years since it was designed.

And these 20 years have happened to be the 20 years of rapid development of the world's automobile technology and concepts. I believe that Volkswagen Group put all its energy and ideas into the design of the Santana, but there is no way, limited by the research and development at that time. Ideas, many things they can't think of, and they don't have that consciousness.

Let’s take this seat as an example. Although there was a term of ergonomics in the 70s, major car manufacturers did not pay much attention to ergonomics at that time, nor did they introduce the concept of ergonomics into car seats. The consciousness developed is to develop the seat based on past experience and make the seat more comfortable.

But it is different now. For example, when our group developed the Sylphy sedan, it was a very popular and cutting-edge development concept to introduce ergonomics into the car development process. Our group introduced this concept, and the result is that our Sylphy sedan The comfort of the vehicle and the comfort of the seats are all ahead of competitors.

In fact, it cannot be said that we are better than our competitors. It can only be said that our competitors have not used their best products to compete with us... Look at the Audi 200 that is currently on sale in China. Its The seats are definitely more comfortable than those of our Sylphy sedan. "

"Hehe..." Qiu Guofeng laughed in satisfaction when he heard Zhang Qihang's words. He repeatedly waved his hands and said, "You can't say that. How much is an Audi 200? How much is your car? You can buy an Audi 200." You have two Sylphys, and you have to send another small Alto."

Qiu Guofeng was really satisfied. During the process of introducing himself, Zhang Qihang was neither humble nor overbearing. He did not deliberately avoid the shortcomings of his own products, nor did he deliberately belittle his competitors. The whole process was very confident.

Of course, from Qiu Guofeng's point of view, Zhang Qihang did have a reason to be confident. Their Sylphy sedan was at least half a level ahead of its competitors in almost every aspect, and it would be hell if it didn't sell well.

In terms of the engine, gearbox and chassis, the chassis is hard to say, but the engine and gearbox are absolutely fine: the engine is the F-series engine of Honda without the Honda logo, and the automatic transmission is also the same as Honda. Model, a car, engine and transmission are all fine, so what else could be the problem?
At this moment, Qiu Guofeng was deeply moved: After working abroad for so many years, he saw that the embassies and consulates in the United States and the representative offices in the United Nations in industrially developed countries in Europe all used their own cars, while Huaxia only We can only use the "Wanguo brand", because of this, Huaxia's representatives and staff have been ridiculed openly and secretly by their peers for many times, but now, we staff stationed abroad can finally drive a car made in our own country. , Self-owned brand cars.

Zhang Qihang followed Qiu Guofeng's words and immediately said: "Actually, we also have Audi 200 class cars."

Ok?
Hearing what Zhang Qihang said, Qiu Guofeng was taken aback for a moment, and then asked quickly, "Do you also have an Audi 200 class car?"

The Audi 200 is the latest model of the domestic FAW Audi Company to replace the Audi 100. After the Audi 200 was put into production, the Audi 100 was discontinued. Compared with the Audi 100, the Audi 200 has a higher configuration and is more luxurious. Natural price It is also higher, the Audi 100 is only 34, but the price of the Audi 200 is just over 40.

In this era, there is no doubt that the Audi 200 is the pinnacle of the domestic automobile industry's manufacturing capabilities, but now, Zhang Qihang actually said that they can also manufacture Audi 200-level cars?

How can this be?

For a moment, Qiu Guofeng was both shocked and unbelievable.

Zhang Qihang naturally understood why Qiu Guofeng had such an expression, and he quickly explained: "Leader, do you know the Mazda 929?"

"Mazda 929?" Qiu Guofeng, who was puzzled in his heart, heard the words, thought for a while, nodded and shook his head: "I have a little impression, I've heard people mention this car, but I haven't seen it before."

Zhang Qihang was not at all surprised by Qiu Guofeng's answer. After all, although the configuration of Mazda 929 is very good, its popularity in China is still much lower than that of Duke Wang and Lexus, even worse than Toyota Crown and Toyota Camry. A section, a niche car belonging to this era, he nodded and said: "Have you heard of the Nissan Duke and Toyota Lexus?"

Qiu Guofeng nodded immediately: "The Duke and Ling Zhi? I have an impression of this."

After confirming that Qiu Guofeng knew about these two cars, Zhang Qihang explained to him: "In Mazda's product lineup, the positioning of Mazda 929 is similar to that of Toyota Lexus LS400, and even slightly higher than Nissan Duke King. The price in our country is roughly 45, while the price of Mazda 929 is 47.

In terms of body size, the Mazda 929 is comparable to the Lexus LS400. The length of the Lexus LS400 is 4995 mm, and that of the Mazda 929 is 4925 mm. In terms of performance, the Mazda 929 can be said to be at the same level as the Lexus LS400.

However, no matter from which point of view, Mazda 929 is also a standard C-class or even C+ class mid-to-large sedan, which is on the same level as Audi A6, Duke King, Crown, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and BMW 5 Series. "

Qiu Guofeng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The price is the most intuitive thing, one is 45, the other is 47, which is more advanced is naturally clear at a glance-Although Zhang Qihang has not yet said why he mentioned the Mazda 929, what does this car have to do with them, but Qiu Guo Feng believes that Zhang Qihang should give himself an answer soon.

Zhang Qihang did not keep Qiu Guofeng waiting too long, and he continued: "It's a coincidence that in the early 90s, Mazda had a high-end brand development plan similar to Toyota Lexus, but this was not the case in Japan in 92. Did the economic bubble burst? Mazda encountered a very serious financial crisis, not only had to give up the development plan of the high-end brand: amati, but even had to sell part of its own shares to Ford again.

In this way, Mazda still couldn't bear it, and had to sell the factory in Los Angeles and the technology of Mazda 929. As for our Huateng Industrial Group, this time we came to the United States, not only bought Mazda Motors, the factory in Los Angeles, but also Also bought a Mazda 929. "

Qiu Guofeng's eyes widened!

Huateng Industrial Group bought Mazda's factory in Los Angeles. Of course he knows about this. After all, this is the biggest move of a domestic company in the United States in the near future. I made a good greeting and asked them to cooperate and support the acquisition of Huateng Industrial Group, but what Qiu Guofeng didn't expect was that Huateng Industrial Group even bought the most luxurious model of Mazda - listen to Zhang Qihang After beeping for so long, he also knows the status of Mazda 929 in Mazda: this car is equivalent to Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-Benz!

Fearing that he might get the wrong meaning, Qiu Guofeng confirmed to Zhang Qihang: "Comrade Qihang, you said that your unit bought the Mazda 929, which means..."

Qiu Guofeng's name for Zhang Qihang has changed.

Zhang Qihang understood very well why Qiu Guofeng asked such a question, and if he was standing in Qiu Guofeng's position, the shock would not be much better.Facing Qiu Guofeng's inquiring gaze, Zhang Qihang nodded affirmatively and said: "It means that Mazda has sold us all the data of the 929 car, and our group can freely produce this car, and can also edit the data of this car. The car can be modified, but they can't hang their Mazda logo..."

"..."

Qiu Guofeng was so shocked that he couldn't speak!
Now, he finally understands why Zhang Qihang said that they can also produce cars of the Audi 200 level. After having the Mazda 929, they can indeed produce cars of this level!
if it is like this……

Realizing this, Qiu Guofeng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly asked Zhang Qihang, "When will your group be able to produce this car?"

Zhang Qihang said confidently: "We have already shipped the molds for the body structural parts and covering parts back to China, and we have started the localization project of Mazda 929. Because there is a complete vehicle data package, the next work is nothing more than our own The adaptation and debugging of the engine, gearbox and the whole vehicle, because they are all mature shelf products, this work is expected to be completed in about half a year. By this time, we can start small batches on the existing production line The production, this process will take about a year.

As for large-scale mass production, we are now contacting and confirming with major supporting companies, and the new factory is also under construction. As long as the production line in Los Angeles is shipped back, installed and debugged, and then recruit workers for training... Overall For example, in about a year and a half, we will be able to mass-produce this car in a year and a half. "

In just one and a half years, Huateng Industrial Group will be able to mass-produce C-class cars?And it's our Huaxia's own brand C machine car?
At this moment, Qiu Guofeng felt that his eye sockets were getting hot.
