Start from 1980

Chapter 991 Overseas Plan
Get in the car and experience it for yourself.

The measurements of this car are 4220*1790*1645, and the wheelbase is 2576mm. This size is roughly equivalent to the later small SUV, but it is already the mainstream of the industry at this time.

The appearance adopts a square box design, and the actual internal use space is very generous, which is enough to meet the needs of the current public.

But in all fairness, Su Chen still felt that the wheelbase of this car was relatively short, which made him feel that the rear space of this car was useless.

In terms of power, the powerful 4.0-liter straight-six engine developed by Jeep is used, and the power is increased to 177 horsepower. This power system enables the Cherokee to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 9 seconds, which is very fast among SUVs. Record.

It also gets a new four-speed automatic transmission that replaces the original three-speed automatic.

It's a pity that because the product positioning is very unique, the price is high, and the fuel consumption is relatively gratifying, the competitiveness is not outstanding enough.

The launch of joint-venture sedans such as Santana, Guangzhou Peugeot, and Jetta pushed it to the ground.

Feel it carefully, and get out of the car without starting the car.

The riding experience is naturally not as good as that of Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz. Of course, the driving experience of this kind of car is far inferior to that of luxury cars.

And it doesn't matter if the price can't be lowered, even if he concentrates all the technology of the prosperous age on it, not only can't the price be lowered, but it will increase the price.

After carefully looking around the car, Wu Zhongliang, Zhao Nailin and the others were very upset, and the big guys exchanged glances with each other.

I don't know what this young man really thinks.

Su Chen thought while watching, the current Cherokee mainly serves the government departments, and has not really entered the home.

And with the continuous improvement of localization, there are more and more minor faults.

It's a headache.

For example, there are such things as changing the size without permission.

Moreover, there are almost no domestic products with similar materials and processes, such as high-pressure foaming machines for production and peripheral equipment that need to be imported.

Anyway too many questions.

Su Chen couldn't help but think of Big Brother again. Seeing that Big Brother was going to fail, the Autobot himself had to grab his hand no matter what.

Otherwise, it can only be cheaper for people from other countries.

"Mr. Wu, I have something to say, so I have to say it." Su Chen looked at several people and said seriously: "Although we are speeding up the progress of localization, we still cannot relax the quality standards we should have."

Wu Zhongliang nodded again and again: "Of course, we have been focusing on quality, and we are very strict in the testing and identification of Cherokee's domestically produced parts."

Su Chen nodded to express his understanding, and did not speak any more, and everyone visited the workshop together again.

Su Chen doesn't know much about building cars, but he just needs to keep a straight face.

He didn't say a word the whole time, his expression was tense, and his brows were furrowed from time to time.

After visiting for about half an hour, everyone went to rest in the office.

Zhao Nailin asked: "Boss Su, do you have anything to say to us during the visit just now?"

The reason why he asked so openly was that he didn't want this person to come up with something after he went back. If he had anything to say, it would be better to have a face-to-face conversation on the spot.

In the first few years, this project has been running in for several years, and later Dean Zhu personally asked to realize the plan to produce more than 1 units by CKD this year.

Su Chen nodded and said: "In order to ensure the quality of localization of Cherokee vehicles, the technology and quality of the whole vehicle will not decline due to the increase in the localization rate.

And it's better to maintain the synchronous development with our company. You need to formulate and implement a set of strict localized parts identification and approval procedures.

And the final result needs to be confirmed by us. The main basis for this determination is the "Outsourcing Quality Assurance Manual" formulated by us. If the parts do not meet the assembly process standards, they must not be assembled on the car. "

"We have been strictly following this standard, but because there are many blank areas in our automobile production process, the progress is naturally not so fast." Wu Zhongliang said, "I believe that the progress will be caught up soon and the imported parts will be reduced."

"It's best like this, otherwise I'm worried that the situation in the past few years will happen again. At that time, the tariffs were [-]%, and this project was regarded as a monk's meat." When this project was mentioned, Su Chen was also powerless to complain.

Wu Zhongliang smiled: "Of course there will be no such situation again, because this is our first time, and many links have not been straightened out. I believe our cooperation will be smoother in the future."

In fact, Su Chen really wanted to hold a rally, or a national self-driving tour, so as to open up a bigger market for Cherokee.

Rally is fine, but don’t think about self-driving tours. It is estimated that cars and people will disappear by then.

Roadhog wasn't kidding.

Another point is that even if the advertisements are hyped up, as long as the price does not come down, those who cannot afford it will still not be able to afford it.

"You continue to control the production process. Regarding the marketing of the car, I will talk to our staff." Su Chen said.

This time, Mimi came quietly, and didn't disturb the staff of her company, mainly because she didn't want to hear their complaints.

He never had a good idea for the Cherokee project.

If it still follows the historical track, it is estimated that this project will be the same, don't expect to bear any flowers.

After drinking tea, Wu Zhongliang uttered an idea that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"President Su, this Cherokee can be regarded as a mid-to-high-end model in China, and it is not an item that ordinary people can afford. The market is very limited."

While talking, he looked at Su Chen's face, looking cautious, "We think it's best to put the Cherokee on the overseas market."

Fearing the development potential of my country's auto industry, the Americans tightened their guard against China from the very beginning of cooperation.

This overseas expansion proposal was originally a very constructive proposal, but they were afraid of the rapid expansion of BJ Jeep, so they did not adopt it.

Wu Zhongliang and the person in charge of the United States mentioned it several times, but were rejected. This time when he saw the new president, he proposed it again with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Zhao Nailin raised her heart, fearing that she would hear a refusal again.

Su Chen thought for a while, he is not a Yankee, and it will be a matter of time to turn against the Yankee, so it is naturally impossible to think from the standpoint of the Yankee.

"Okay, I think this plan is very constructive. You can make a plan as soon as possible. Whether it is Southeast Asian or European countries, you can try it. I will let people fully cooperate with you."

He looked at Wu Zhongliang and the others, and said, "And we can also try to develop a right-hand drive Cherokee model and sell it to Britain and its colonies. I believe we have talents in this area."

"it is good!"

After getting his answer, Wu Zhongliang and the others were overjoyed. Finally, a great savior came. If they were still Americans, they would definitely be cold.

Su Chen continued: "Of course we will pass the overseas plan, and I also hope that you will come up with the charter as soon as possible. I will let Mr. Yu inform our staff, and at the same time I will form a document and issue it."

"Thank you, Mr. Su." Wu Zhongliang and others were almost overjoyed. As long as the overseas plan can be developed, they can get rid of the current predicament.

After a brief chat, Su Chen offered to leave.

Although Wu Zhongliang and others expressed their wish to have a meal with him, Su Chen declined their proposal.

After sending this group of people outside, he watched Su Chen and others leave.

Wu Zhongliang asked Zhao Nailin beside him: "What do you mean they came this time?"

"How can I know that?" Zhao Nailin shook his head, "I can't figure it out, and it's been so long since the acquisition of AMC, it seems that there has been no change in this project."

"It's not that there are no changes, it's that there are no changes at all." Wu Zhongliang sighed softly, "To be honest, we still have a long way to go if we want to truly realize localization."

"Let's wait and see the follow-up." Zhao Nailin was uncertain, "If the overseas plan is successful, we can speed up the production."

Everyone doesn't know what the new boss of AMC is thinking.

After the car drove out for a while, Yu Xia took the initiative to ask: "Boss, what should we do with this project?"

"I can't think of any good solution for the time being, let's see first." Su Chen was also at a loss about this one, without the slightest clue.

"Then shall we meet the person in charge of our project?"

"See, I'm very interested in overseas plans." Su Chen said, "I'm going to find someone now, there is one more thing..."
