City: I, A World Car Overlord

Chapter 212

Baolong has never lacked attention, and the offline of each model can cause a sensation in the industry.

For Baolong’s senior management, the media interviews and the shock of riders, their mentality is very calm.

This wave of attention and traffic struck, and Powerlong Group was happy.

From the CEO Pan Qiang to the group’s grassroots managers.

As long as it is a media interview, everyone will come.

And those car owners who belong to the Longqi branch of Baolong Group, the cameras and voice recorders of the reporters on the opposite side, also talked a lot, so that no one will let the opportunity to advertise for free.

For a while, the media, large and small, and online platforms were all flooded with Baolong’s mergers and acquisitions of 28 auto companies, research and development of A-class cars, and the Sun State-owned car company that has dominated the huge market of A-class cars for nearly 30 years. .

At this time, Lin Fan has gathered all the R&D engineers of the Baolong Banner Group, as well as the relevant personnel of 28 auto companies, and he is going to have an unprecedented model development campaign.

In the R&D center, looking at the huge lineup of more than 2,000 R&D engineers, Lin Fan is full of cherishment and emotions.

This is the R&D strength of Baolong Group after two years of development. Any car company is proud of it.

Lin Fan holding a thick stack of drawings, facing the main person in charge of the R&D team, said in a righteous voice: “Everyone, look at the drawings in my hand. After thinking about it, you will also know that our R&D direction this time is the clock. In the low-end market.

How big this market is, I don’t need to say more here. Before, our Baolong Group wanted to do it, but limited by the size of the group and the layout of the site, we didn’t get involved.

Now that the 28 auto companies of the Chinese empire have formed an alliance, and everyone is gathering firewood and devoting themselves to the development and manufacture of vehicles that benefit the public, we have the confidence…”

Lin Fan attaches great importance to this research and development task, so he must emphasize and encourage everyone.

For this R&D task, all R&D engineers of the whole group have been gathered, and 28 companies have been cited.

Even Xu Lao, who was responsible for the development of the super production line, applied to join.

Mr. Xu approves of Lin Fan’s move. In his opinion, the models developed this time are truly benefiting the public. They do not lose their part in the auto industry and live up to the sense of mission of a leader in the industry.

Seeing Xu Lao’s expression of relief, Lin Fan’s heart twitched. In Xu Lao’s eyes, the mid-to-high-end models that the group had previously worked on were not doing business properly…

However, after looking at the R&D drawings in Lin Fan’s hands, the young engineers headed by Zhang Kai looked down one by one.

There is no other reason. They are accustomed to mid-to-high-end models, and then to develop low-end cars, they always feel a big loss in their hearts.

“No, boss, you give us this, can you change one, this is too…”

“Too what too?”

Before Zhang Kai could finish, Xu Lao directly slapped Zhang Kai’s head with a slap, “I think this is the right way. What do we build cars for? Isn’t it to benefit the people and let the people of the celestial dynasty drive their own homes? Made a car?

Take a look at the cars you built before. Except for MPVs, one is more expensive than one high-end, and one is more expensive than another. The group is making money, and the cars built are benefiting the wealthy. What is this called? This is the separation from the masses.

I can tell you that for this R&D work, the old man, I will follow up throughout the whole process. Don’t resist any emotions of you people. You should cheer me up and come up with something broken. Don’t blame me for screaming at you. ”

Strictly speaking, juniors like Zhang Kai were once students of Mr. Xu, and they dared not refute the reprimands of Mr. Xu, one after another: “Be guided by the teacher’s teaching…”

Seeing this situation, people like Lao Li and Wu Xinnian laughed. Xu Lao knew everything well, but this time it was really moving. None of these young boys dared to resist anymore.

When everyone’s emotions eased, Lin Fan said: “I carefully studied the engines of this wave of A-class cars in Sun Country, and I found that they really have a lot of conscience this time.

Take a look at the Honda Civic series, the Earth Dream Engine, which is known as the strongest engine on the surface, is divided into three basic versions, covering 1.5t, 1.8t, and 2.0t.

Take 1.5t as an example, it uses in-cylinder direct injection and turbocharging technology to achieve a maximum power of 150 kilowatts, 270 Nm, and 200 horsepower, ensuring that it can accelerate from 100 kilometers to within 7 seconds.

Let’s take a look at Toyota’s Corolla. This car’s previous performance was very strong, and it has been the sales champion in the A-class car market for many years.

Now, the engine technology that DVVT intake and exhaust valves are adjusted at the same time has been added to realize dual continuously variable valves, which makes fuel-saving a little bit stronger.. ………

Toyota Corolla’s hybrid technology is also remarkable, but the application cost of this technology is too high, and the price of the applied model has exceeded the price of the A-class car…”

After listening to Lin Fan’s explanation and analysis, Zhang Kai raised his hand and asked to speak in order to show his extreme proactiveness.

After receiving Lin Fan’s response, Zhang Kai said: “Boss, you tell us this. Doesn’t it mean that we want to make a car that surpasses the Honda Civic in terms of performance, but also surpasses the Toyota Corolla in terms of energy consumption.

This is simple. We have built cars in the past. Which one does not outperform similar models in terms of performance and energy consumption? Boss, you give me the SUV series, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied…”

Lin Fan rolled his eyes to Zhang Kai: “I know your idea. The A-class SUV is considered to be the more high-end car management this time, with a price ranging from 100,000 to 13 points.

But I do not intend to give you this project, because you have a more important R&D task, which is to transplant the Baolong V-series pickup truck developed in the Free Country…”

Hearing that a V-series pickup truck is going to be made again, Zhang Kai looked speechless: “Boss, can you give me some challenging R&D tasks? I can make a V-series pickup truck for you with my eyes closed.”

Lin Fan knew that this guy would have this expression, and threw the drawing of the pickup truck to Zhang Kai, and said angrily, “Look at it first. If it’s a simple transplant, you still need to research and develop it?”

Zhang Kai seemed to have realized something, and quickly picked up the drawing and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed: “No way, I sell more than 200,000 pickup trucks in the free country, but about 100,000 in the country, how can the cost be controlled?”

Lin Fan chuckled: “Didn’t you say that pickup trucks don’t have any challenges? I told you that the cost of this series of pickup trucks should be controlled at 60,000 to 80,000, and the performance cannot be lost to the V series pickup trucks…”

“puff…”

Zhang Kai almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, just about to say that his concubine couldn’t do it, and his eyes caught the old Xu who was staring at him. He touched the back of his head and said quickly: “Boss rest assured, promise to complete the task.”

Seeing Zhang Kai fleeing away holding the R&D blueprint, everyone couldn’t help laughing.

Old Li smiled and said, “This kid doesn’t put him under pressure, he hangs all day long…”.
