Rebirth 05 Be a car tycoon

Chapter 1 We build whatever car the people need
"There is no need to install this ESP!"

In the R&D center of Nanshan Automobile, the young general manager Xiao Hui constantly expresses his opinions on the configuration table of new models.

"Ah? ESP is now a standard configuration of all models. If there is no such thing, would anyone still buy our car?"

The dean of the R&D center, Xiang Changle, looked at Xiao Hui with a troubled expression.

He is very clear about the current situation of the company.In order to develop a new model to save the situation, he has made a lot of preparations.

He has a good idea of ​​what are the best-selling models on the market, what kind of equipment, and how much the price is.

But Xiao Hui doesn't follow the routine.

"No more ABS!"

"Huh? Mr. Xiao, there isn't any car on the market that doesn't have ABS installed."

"The airbags are all cancelled!"

"Cars on the market are equipped with six airbags as standard, and our configuration is already very low."

"All the aluminum wheels were replaced with steel rims, and the rear windows were also changed to manual."

Xiao Hui didn't care about Xiang Changle's opinion at all, and directly put forward his request.

You know, in China in this world, all car companies have high car configurations, as if low configuration is a shameful thing.

The car you make is 10,000+ at every turn, and 10,000+ for one.

However, the development of the appearance of the model is still at the level of the previous 90s.

Moreover, the mainstream cars on the market are all foreign brands. Those brands are earning money from Huaxia people, but they still look down on Huaxia in their hearts.

Even in order to suppress the development of Huaxia's own brands, many tricks have been used.

Relying on their mastery of various technologies such as advanced parts manufacturing, there are various methods of "stuck neck".

Nanshan Automobile will fall into the current situation, which is directly related to the suppression of Benben Automobile and other Toyo and Citigroup companies.

Xiao Hui was very uncomfortable with this situation.

He shut himself up at home for a week, and frantically learned about the situation of this era on the Internet, before he got used to it.

However, he got used to it, and the others didn't get used to it.

"If that's the case, then our cars are not even as good as trucks."

"The reversing radar, sunroof, and navigation are all cancelled."

"Also, don't make this seat too fancy. I changed everything about seat heating, eight-way electric adjustment, and leather. It only needs ordinary velvet seats and manual front and rear adjustment of the driver's seat. "

Listening to Xiao Hui giving orders there, Xiang Changle stopped talking.

In his opinion, Xiao Hui is only 22 years old this year. Although he majored in vehicle engineering at university, he had to come back to inherit the family business after only entering his junior year last year. .

What does he know?
Isn't it a blind command now?

A few days ago, a headhunter came to dig him out. Thinking that Lao Xiao treated him well back then, he didn't immediately agree.

Looking at it now, fortunately, I didn't directly reject it.

"All the configurations that are useless, all don't want! We want to make a car that everyone can afford."

Xiao Hui obviously wasn't out of his mind.

As a necessary golden finger for the reborn, he also has a "car empire system".

Although it takes a month to redeem one item, it is still a big deal.

Last week, he retreated at home for a week, and finally chose to exchange the technology of the sacred car "Light of Domestic Products" to realize the battle of Nanshan Automobile's turnaround.

Regardless of what this car wants, it doesn't matter, but sales can explain everything.

Some people buy it, indicating that there is demand in the market.

For example, none of the mainstream models on the market is less than 10 yuan.

This is completely different from the previous life.

I don't know what the heads of those car companies are thinking.

Now that Xiao Hui is here, of course he wants everyone to see how the Huaxia people got the nickname "Price Butcher".

"These body materials, don't use any thermoforming materials, this technology is not particularly mature, and it is extremely expensive."

"Remember, our car is not going to be compared with some niche cars or Tongtong cars, let alone be compared with Benben and Baobao. We just want to make a car that everyone can afford."

"Mr. Xiao, is there any safety in such a car?"

Xiang Changle endured it for a long time, but he still couldn't hold back.

"It depends on what you compare it with. If you have to compare it with someone else's car worth hundreds of thousands, then there is no way to compare it."

Xiao Hui didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"We are a car company, and our products should be responsible for the safety of ordinary people."

As a subordinate, Xiang Changle's words were very serious.

"Dean Xiang, let me ask you a question. If such a car is produced, how is its safety compared to that of a motorcycle?"

"This... there is no way to compare. Cars are covered with iron, and motorcycles are covered with iron. No matter how bad a car is, it must be safer than a motorcycle."

"It's good if you know! There are hundreds of millions of farmers in Huaxia who live on the vast land. How many of them can afford hundreds of thousands of cars?

How many people are involved in motorcycle accidents each year?
Doesn't anyone need to care about their safety? "

"This is two different things!"

Xiang Changle suddenly felt a little hot all over, how could he be sweating so easily?
"No, in my opinion, it's actually the same thing."

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit depressing.

Everyone felt that Xiao Hui today was different from before.

Before that, it can be said that he didn't have any opinions. Most of the time, he just did what the following proposed.

But today the situation is completely different.

"The models produced by the company before were all sedans. This time you have come up with an MPV. Overall, it is worth encouraging. But this model obviously has not found its own positioning."

Xiao Hui also knew that he was too strong just now, and repeatedly refuted Xiang Changle's opinion.

Next, everyone needs to work, so of course it is a stick to give a red date.

"I have a design plan for a model here, you can combine it with the parts we are using now, and invest as little as possible.

Parts that can be retained will be retained, and domestic suppliers will be used if domestic suppliers can be used.

I have a goal, the starting price of this car must be 29999 yuan. "

"Huh? 29999 yuan?"

Xiang Changle's eyeballs were about to fall out.

Let alone 29999 yuan, even if it is 39999, 49999, or even 59999, 69999, there are no models produced by regular car companies on the market today.

The auto market in this world is such a wonderful thing.

If Nanshan Auto produced such a car, it would be like dropping an atomic bomb on the Chinese auto industry.

"That's right, it's the price, you heard me right!"

After Xiao Hui finished speaking, Xiang Changle was silent again.

After a full 3 minutes, he spoke again: "Mr. Xiao, are you sure this is serious?"

"Uncle Xiang, you are an old man who followed my father to start a business, and our Xiao family has noticed your hard work these years.

This Nanshan Automobile embodies your painstaking efforts, and it is also the treasure of our Xiao family.

I don't want it to end up in bankruptcy or being acquired. "

"Think about it, if we make such a car, can we win the turnaround?
Don't you want those colleagues to look up at us?
Don't you want our China's auto industry to really grow and develop? "

"China is a big car country, but [-]% of domestic car sales are contributed by those foreign brands.

The remaining less than [-]% of the sales volume is due to domestic enterprises relying on the support of the local government to barely maintain a small market.

This is obviously not the scene you want to see, right? "

Xiao Hui changed his words, obviously he wanted to talk about his feelings with Xiang Changle.

His ability to control the entire Nanshan Automobile is not very high now, and these old people are still valuable.

"Mr. Xiao, I understand what you said, but even if we cut corners and made such a cheap car, someone must buy it?"

Xiang Changle's attitude has obviously changed.

"We will produce whatever car the people need. As long as you grasp the market demand well, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. Uncle Xiang, I will arrange for someone to send you the technical information of this model later.

Ministers from various departments will hold a meeting tonight, and this project will be officially launched today. "

After Xiao Hui finished speaking, he didn't bother Xiang Changle any more.

Anyway, whether you can figure it out or not, it must be done.

　ESP: Body electronic stability system, a simple understanding is that under special working conditions, the car can turn normally with this thing, and it will rush out of the curve without this thing.

　　ABS: Anti-lock braking system, a simple understanding is that with this thing, the wheels will not be braked. If not, the car may lose control after braking; because the brakes are not as dead as possible, especially when the ground is slippery. , it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of wheel rotation to ensure the existence of friction.
