Chapter 409: The Law of Shell Changing (Second Update)

Liu Hai asked: "What 100 million?"

"The dealer has a design drawing of 100 million pounds. Let us first come up with the renderings. As long as one design is adopted, the design fee will be 100 million pounds." Sun Aiguo said.

When Liu Hai heard this, he became more energetic, so he tried to get more of them. Anyway, he copied the classics first, and then he could do whatever he liked.

Then I carefully looked at the requirements put forward by the dealer. Sure enough, it was a low-end car, and the cost to Hong Kong Island was required to be controlled at US$1000.

Liu Hai thought to himself that this cost is not low. After all, the labor wages in China are only so low now. As for why our cars were so expensive in the 90s... ahem, there are many reasons for this.

But now all the technology is our own, and a thousand dollars is enough. After all, the current car in the United States is $3000... It seems that the cars in the United States have always been cheaper than ours. There are many reasons for this, and it is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

Liu Hai calculated in his mind: Chery QQ will be the lowest-end model, then there will be POIO, and finally there will be Mazda sports car with pop-up lights, and it is a two-door convertible with a soft top on top. Who said sports cars are all luxury cars.

Let’s take another Wuling Hongguang MPV, let’s just call it this.

Liu Hai's idea is very simple. To destroy the market, destroy the market first and seize the market first.

Thinking of the MPV, Liu Hai felt that a high-end commercial vehicle should be produced, but we will talk about this later. People in China cannot always use vans.

"Are you sure?" Sun Aiguo looked at Liu Hai and asked after reading the dealer's request.

"It's just to make four wheels and a body. This is not very troublesome. I have spent a lot of time thinking about it in the early stage. I will give you the results in a month, but other research will probably be delayed." Liu Hai said to himself A time was set.

"No problem. The dealer's side is more important. I'll give you the renderings first." Sun Aiguo nodded immediately and said.

Sun Aiguo thought that Bangs was preparing a picture, but he didn't know that Bangs was preparing a stack.

"How about I go back to my hometown? Is it just for drawing?" Liu Hai wondered in his mind, if he had to go to the aircraft carrier space frequently, would it be better to go back to his hometown?

"It's up to you. Why don't you go to the south for a walk? The climate there is better than ours?" Sun Aiguo thought of those literati who went on outings to find inspiration, so he asked.

Liu Hai shook his head. It would be hard to go to the south in winter. There is heating in the north. However, after saying this, Liu Hai was moved. Should he buy a piece of land in Hainan, and then cultivate the durians in the space himself, so as to realize the freedom of durians first? .

"Director, at my level, can I buy a piece of land to build a house in the southern tropics? It would be better if I have some more land. I can go and recuperate for a few days if I have nothing to do. In fact, I still yearn for the dazzling array of fruits in the tropics. ." Liu Hai can do whatever he wants. When he gets older, let the netizens take a look at our old durian trees. There are durian fruits in the space. You can plant one yourself sometime.

"This is all mine." Sun Aiguo agreed without hesitation. At the level of bangs, he can enjoy many benefits, but he doesn't have bangs.

Isn't it just a piece of land?Even if you want an island, your superiors will give it to you.

"Thank you, director." Liu Hai felt very happy. He would go there for vacation when he has time. Well, he had to get the business jet out first. Otherwise, how long would it take to fly a piston plane? Although he couldn't get it under his own name, but A motorcycle factory can have one, and there should be nothing wrong with aircraft test flights.

Liu Hai went back to his hometown with some things the next day. Sun Aiguo didn't mention Liu Hai's desire to buy land. When Liu Hai designed it this time, the dealer in Hong Kong adopted it, and he took advantage of the situation and asked for it. It's reasonable to be confident. Of course I won't say that I want bangs, but I want to care about bangs from the perspective of the factory director. After all, veteran cadres can recuperate, but we, Xiao Liu, don't deserve it?

Liu Hai felt comfortable when he returned to his hometown, and the people in the village felt comfortable too, because not only did Liu Hai bring many guns, but they were also good, but the prey around him suffered.

Although the township government has a militia, bullets cost money. It does not mean that you can shoot wild boars if you want to. It needs to be coordinated. Historically, when we fought with the south, 40 guns could not be used openly, because at that time, the cost of a 40 gun was More than 120 yuan, which caused the grassroots to be helpless. It is said that the Type 53 heavy machine gun we supported was seized, but no one knew how to use it.

Of course, the 40-fire at that time did have a lot of problems. First of all, the missile would not open its tail until it was 15 meters away. The flames behind it would ignite the trees and expose itself. The sight was too high, the trigger was too sensitive, etc., etc., etc. Operated by professionals.

Of course, it was also because I was really poor at that time. After all, the behemoth in the north was still in a state of disloyalty at that time.

In the aircraft carrier space, Liu Hai ate a durian, and then planted the seeds in several large plastic buckets. The soil was also dug from the vegetable cellar behind the house. There are also vegetable cellars in the countryside, some in the ground, and some in the house. Some even just dig holes in the ground and bury them.

Of course, bangs must be cultivated in dwarf sizes, mainly to see which fruit tastes good. The stability of seedlings is not as good as grafting.

However, once the seedlings are successfully mutated and their traits are stable, they will win the prize. As farmers, they still like grafting, but there is a trouble with long-term grafting, that is, there is no way to improve disease resistance.

The seedlings will gradually form their own anti-virus system from generation to generation, but there is no way to graft them. This has led to many orchards becoming useless once they are infected with certain viruses, such as citrus greening disease, kiwi canker, etc. Once the virus is carried in the grafting strips, it will spread quickly.

This is why we need to protect wild populations, because wild populations will produce something resistant to these viruses as they reproduce from generation to generation.

Of course, it is unrealistic to rely on one generation or two to produce antibodies, so individual farmers have to control management, especially when introducing new varieties. Of course, the most important thing to pay attention to is pinkeye, otherwise you will not be able to make a living, and some people just watch others make money. , just get some diseased leaves or something, there are so many disgusting things.

As long as the fresh materials in the aircraft carrier space are not contaminated with outside water and the bangs are not moved, they will remain in that state. Once they are moved, they are finished.

"Maybe there is some energy protection or something." Liu Hai muttered in his heart, and installed automatic irrigation equipment on the bucket to see if there are any delicious fruits. If not, continue to replace them. One year is a century-old tree.

Liu Hai doesn't go out hunting every day. Animals are also smart. After two or three days of hunting, the smart animals will know and run away.

Liu Hai settled down to draw pictures at home. There were a lot of dried radishes dried in the village, washed directly, cut into strips and hung up. These were dried radishes that were not very good, and all the good radishes were sold.

Then the better radish leaves are dried and eaten collectively next spring. The bad ones are mixed with straw and fed to the livestock. There are carrots, white radish and the like. Liu Hai doesn’t think they are very delicious, but there is no way. People in the village are willing to If you eat dried vegetables, you should also sell all the good ones for money.

Liu Hai has only been at home for half a month, mainly because it has been a long time. Some people in the team muttered: Liu Hai must have made a mistake and went home to reflect on it.

Then Wang Hongmei also urged herself to leave. Her relatives were coming too, and Liu Hai had almost copied the renderings.

So half a month later, Liu Hai returned to the city again, and bought a lot of eggs and other gifts as gifts. He had told people to stay in advance, and he also bought some dried vegetables and other gifts.

In fact, dried vegetables are not delicious at this time because there is not enough oil and water. Modern dried vegetables are delicious because there is enough oil for cooking meat and so on.

When I came to the factory, I first reported to Sun Aiguo, then went for a stroll to other project teams to deal with some problems, and then continued back to the maintenance department.

In mid-November of 69, Liu Hai showed the renderings of his painting to Sun Aiguo in an office filled with the smell of barbecue.

Sun Aiguo looked at the thick stack of drawings and was dumbfounded... there were so many.

The bangs copied Chery QQ, Wuling Hongguang, POLO, and Mazda MX5 sports car with jumping lights. Of course, the lights look more rounded than the original version, and the overall body is much more pleasing to the eye than the first generation Mazda.

There are several renderings of each type of car, including the front, side, etc., as well as approximate parameters.

The first thing Sun Aiguo saw was the round Chery QQ. The two headlights were beveled, which gave people an inexplicable sense of joy.

The second Wuling Hongguang looks better to Sun Aiguo than the first one. In fact, Sun Aiguo only cares about practicality. The Chery QQ just now is a bit small.

The POLO at the back is larger than the first one, as if it is a larger one. Sun Aiguo doesn't quite understand the last convertible. Isn't this car meant to provide shelter from wind and rain?
“Is this cost accurate?”

"It's not accurate. It depends on the sample car. Anyway, I showed it to them first. If they like it, they will increase the price." Liu Hai estimated that the dealer wanted to benchmark the Beetle. The Beetle seems to be US$1490 in the United States. These prices The dealer just wants to give 1000 US dollars and make a few hundred dollars himself. How can this be done? The cost must be reported more.

Liu Hai figured out the dealer's strategy, and of course he had to raise the price as much as possible. After all, those guys eat both sides. They sell cars here, and they make money when we sell various imported things. But there is no way, without these guys. It's stuck outside and nothing can be sold.

"I'll report this right away. Regarding the land thing you mentioned last time, I have a solution." Sun Aiguo immediately took the renderings and prepared to send them up.

Liu Hai nodded. His factory director now has a lot of influence, and he is considered a confidant of his superiors. No one dares to compete for his position. Moreover, there are many mothers-in-law at the top, so the position at the bottom is secure.

Sun Aiguo immediately asked someone to drive him to the superior department to report his work. The superior department paid great attention to the dealer's request and called Sun Aiguo every now and then.

After all, we have already reaped the dividends from exports. The simplest calculation is how much grain a car can exchange for.

A simple algorithm is equivalent to continuously producing grain in a factory, and importing and domestically produced materials are circulated in the factory. Even if it does not make money, the workers in the upstream and downstream industrial chains are supported, which is a big deal.

You must know that the older generation came out of poverty and know what it is like to be hungry. Now the granaries are full, and tanks and other things are coming one after another. This is the confidence.

"I didn't expect Comrade Xiao Liu to come up with so many plans so quickly. I didn't expect that this car looks comfortable." A department manager sitting opposite Sun Aiguo praised the 19-model POLO renderings. .

"Xiao Liu stepped forward. Needless to say, I think that large van is good, and Comrade Xiao Liu probably has preparations for this. After all, we will also get involved in low-end cars sooner or later." Sun Aiguo likes large vans, that is, the Wuling Hongguang.

"Well, we can produce this domestically. It can pull more people, and it looks more upscale than the current vans." The leader also nodded.

"Boss, our factory wants to build a sanatorium base in the south. What do you think?" Sun Aiguo started talking. "How come you have this idea?"

"There are some old comrades in the factory who have been injured in the past. It will be very difficult in winter. There is also a testing ground set up there. Comrade Xiao Liu said that if we rebuild the aircraft in the future, we will have to conduct multiple tests. What else should we put there? ..., some long-term tests need to be carried out, and some vehicles and other things need to be tested in high-temperature and humid environments." Sun Aiguo is right.

"Well, I will consider this. I will send these things away on a special plane immediately. You must be prepared for design and production." The leader did not care to say anything more to Sun Aiguo. The motorcycle factory needs the land, as long as it is not in In other countries, if leadership offices are required, they will probably be handed over to motorcycle factories.

The special plane departed at [-] noon, and in the evening dealers on Hong Kong Island saw the first draft of Liu Hai's renderings.

"Tsk tsk."

"Tsk tsk!"

A group of dealers were holding the drawings one after another and were already in awe.

"This one is in pink. I don't think any woman will refuse it."

"I think emerald green looks good too."

"Do you think this two-door sports car can sell well if calculated according to the highest cost?"

"I think this designer knows very well that we want to occupy the market. This small convertible sports car will definitely beat other convertibles to the point where their mothers will not even recognize them."

"Gentlemen, I don't think it is necessary to bring out so many at once. It is best next summer. We will see at least [-] such cars." A dealer held up a rendering of the Chery QQ Which one.

And this one can be used as an upgrade model later. I think this one can definitely be used as the main model, and the price is no less than two thousand US dollars.

"Of course it's best to have four cars. We all need to see prototypes and then see the cost."

"We will use this sports car as the main model for next Christmas."

"As for this family station wagon, I think it's very good. It's enough for a family to go fishing and have a picnic. We do this so that everyone can buy a car. We are the most conscientious capitalists."

"I agree, with six months until next summer, I think we need to get the first car as soon as possible and then get into the bargain market and hit the market."

"What about the design fee?"

"Of course you have to see a prototype first. Business is business after all."

"Yes, if we can see this prototype car within a month, I think we can give more. After all, once the prototype car is produced, we can make plans early. There are still six months until the summer vacation. But it needs transportation and publicity, so we will see the first batch of production cars at the end of April next year.”

"Yes."

"So it's decided, all of these will be adopted?"

"Yes."

"In addition, the damn upstarts in North America, this time we must open up their market and let those damn profiteers go to hell."

"Haha, our Congress will soon pass a new round of autoworker welfare programs."

“Do we still have auto workers?”

"Yes, but they will go bankrupt sooner or later. It is better to go bankrupt sooner."

"Yes."

To be honest, the actions of a group of dealers in Hong Kong have dragged down the whole of Europe and North America. Laos and the United States are under great pressure at this time. On the one hand, workers have high welfare, and on the other hand, they are defeated in Southeast Asia. Double pressure.

This was actually the direct cause of the great stagflation in the 70s, and also why the United States wanted to financialize, because it could not maintain high welfare policies for workers, but the votes had to promise high welfare.

Everyone knows that Detroit is bankrupt, but they don’t know that the local mayor has been in office for decades, and his campaign plan is very simple: to give money to his compatriots.

Of course, later on, the old American thought of debt. Anyway, I borrowed money one after another. As for whether I can pay it back, I have worked hard in the past few years, and it has nothing to do with me if I still don't pay it back later. Is it? It's not a life-long system. Even if something happens midway, the worst possible outcome is just to resign. Do you still have to go to jail?

Now, it’s good. It’s already impossible to lead the British auto industry, but if you give people a raise in wages, do you think the auto industry workers in the United States and Europe will be willing to do so?It’s not going to go up, right? That boss bear... ahem.

Moreover, politicians in the United States and Europe have not yet been able to criticize Dai Ying. Once they do, their political careers will be over. They will be attacked wildly by their opponents and have glass windows and eggs smashed by unknown workers.

In fact, Liu Hai in Kyoto has already begun to manufacture a dog car, namely the QQ car, because this car is the cheapest. Although it is too hip in every aspect, it is better than the Beetle we will encounter.

Liu Hai gathered the people from the maintenance department and prepared to start production. First, he directly took out the data on tires, glass, water tanks, lights, etc., and let each factory produce it on its own.

The chassis of the car was handed over to the maintenance department for drawing, and the engine and transmission system were directly adopted from a van engine.

In fact, this is just like some cars in later generations. You will find that in cars of different price levels, the three major parts inside... Yes, the bangs are replaced by shells.

This is for the sake of our customers, and after-sales maintenance is not troublesome.

Sun Aiguo was called to the superior department the next morning and heard the dealer's request to mass produce [-] by the end of April next year. This...

I hurriedly ran back, and when I came back, I saw Liu Hai and his team making sheet metal. Liu Hai's idea was very simple. He would knock out the prototype car by himself first, then make the stamping mold later, and then throw the cover parts out of the sheet metal to the stamping workshop. I can draw it by myself, and I can type it out when I have time to draw it.

"Director?" Liu Hai watched Sun Aiguo come in.

"You are this?"

"Prototype car, I guess the dealer will choose the cheapest one." Liu Hai said.

"You guessed it right, and the other party said that the prototype car will be ready within a month, and the design fee is easy to negotiate. In addition, if it is suitable, at least [-] mass-produced cars will be produced in April next year, ready to hit the summer vacation market." Sun Aiguo said Liu Hai He brought it to the office and spoke.

"This is not a big problem. The engine uses the van's engine, mainly the body panels and the like." Liu Hai said simply, but the chassis design is based on a supercomputer and is not just welded out casually.

"That's good, that's good. Our factory will establish a test base in Hainan. If there is news, you can choose a place. Then it will be safer for us to go through internal procedures. It is not safe to go through local procedures. At least I dare to say, Who dares to deny my signature?" Sun Aiguo whispered again.

"Thank you, leader." Liu Hai thinks this method is good. Documents issued within the factory will be recognized by the local government in the future. And for people like Sun Aiguo and himself, if anyone says he doesn't recognize it, stand up and take a look. It's that green onion. ?
"You moved quickly enough."

"Anyway, as long as it's cheap enough and not ugly, I don't think it's hard to sell."

"That's true. The dealer over there spoke highly of these cars. The convertible is going to be sold next Christmas, the large minivan is going to be sold the year after next, and as for the last one, they are going to sell this one, the cheapest one, for two It will be sold again in the next year, but everyone wants to see the prototype, and they have to publicize it in advance." Sun Aiguo said again.

Liu Hai nodded: "After this prototype is finished, I will make a convertible. The prototype should be unveiled at the dealer event next summer to see the market feedback."

"Well, then you get busy." Sun Aiguo nodded and did not disturb Liu Hai, because Sun Aiguo felt that he also had to take action and mobilize his capable forces.

Not to mention, Liu Hai feels that he is very suitable for working on machinery, and making sheet metal is faster than drawing.

The people in the maintenance department worked overtime for a week to knock out the covering parts. Once they were knocked out, they took them to the stamping mold shop for measurement and asked them to draw drawings.

It took another half a month, mainly the lights and plastic parts. With the cooperation of various supporting factories, the motorcycle factory took 22 days to build a car...and then an apple green dog car. That’s it.

Manual windows, manual seats, a sponge sofa in the back, linen seats, of course everything can be optional, such as electric seats, electric windows, leather seats, etc.

The air outlets of the heating and cooling air conditioners are all round. After the car was painted, Sun Aiguo found someone to take pictures, and then sent it to Hong Kong Island by special train.

"The speed of these people is too fast!" The dealer felt incredible when he saw the car with two headlights getting off the flatbed trailer.

　Two updates and [-] words are in place.
