Chapter 411 Intention (Second Update)

Liu Hai looked at the map and wanted to choose Yalong Bay, but that place seems to be a scenic spot in the future. I don't know if it will be comfortable to live there. Moreover, I have to plant durians and other things. The wind is too strong, and I don't know when to go and see it in person. OK.

"It doesn't look good on the map. Let's go and see it in person when we have time." Liu Hai looked at the map and said.

"No problem." Sun Aiguo nodded immediately after hearing this.

However, Liu Hai felt that it didn't matter anymore. When the land can be contracted in the future, it would be the same as contracting tens of thousands of acres of land for planting in Ledong, Wuzhishan. Now, find a place to get some mother trees for grafting later. That's it.

"Forget it, factory director, please help me choose. The locals should know very well. When I get old, there will be a beach and a small pier, and I can build my own yacht. It will be a good retirement." Liu Hai figured it out. It didn't matter, he said.

"Okay." When Sun Aiguo heard this, he knew that Liu Hai was making a request in disguise, and he thought about choosing a few good places for Liu Hai to choose.

The remaining bangs are not tangled, and it is still early to retire, at least in the new millennium.

I probably won’t have the chance to go to Hainan for ten years or so, but looking back, I realized that it was all a matter of merit. If I don’t change it, it would be nothing, right?

Sun Aiguo said: "This group of dealers are willing to spend money, so they paid 200 million pounds for the design fee. Originally, a design cost 100 million pounds. Aren't we quick? This 200 million pounds is a real extra, equivalent to We have more than 2000 million, and we can’t afford that much money for a big project.”

"Yeah." Of course Liu Hai knows that if the prototype car is released earlier, the dealer can advertise it a day earlier, which can attract as many people who are willing to buy.

Maybe hundreds of thousands more cars will be sold because of this, which is why dealers are willing to do so. Of course, Liu Hai also has to admit that classics are classics at all times, so you can make slight changes to copied things, but don't make blind changes.

Thinking of this, Liu Hai thought about it. If he wanted to work with Nanfang, could he donate five years of royalties to start a fight? Or let the motorcycle factory make flying motorcycles. When Intel chips come out, he could also make motorcycles. The car factory is starting to work on it. Believe it or not, as long as you make your own small motorcycle, the country will develop this chip like crazy?

Of course, what we have now is just inertial guidance, which is equivalent to a cannonball with wings. There is no positioning system or anything like that, but this is already amazing, isn't it? It can be launched directly from the country to someone else's capital, and that thing is a thousand kilometers away. Extremely reliable.

"You can't help it. Otherwise, what kind of designers in the world can charge you so much design fees?" Sun Aiguo felt a little uncomfortable for Liu Hai, after all, such a big reputation was gone.

"My designs are trivial. Designs that are not manufactured are failures, as long as foreigners like them." Liu Hai didn't think so. It was copied anyway. He just had a little trouble copying it, and then spent some brain cells to optimize it. Just one click is all it takes.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. I've been very busy over there recently." Sun Aiguo also went to work on his own. After all, he had a lot of things to do there.

The energy of the dealers is actually greater than Liu Hai thought. In early December, Liu Hai sent the prototype car to Hong Kong Island. While the dealers were registering the patent, they began to conduct investigations. To be precise, it was advertising plus investigation.

Every year around Christmas is the craziest time for major film companies. At this time, various film road shows are promoted, and the leading actors are on TV. Dealers seize this opportunity and start promoting dog cars.

Everywhere where popular movies are promoted, someone will hold a stack of bills, all of which are one dollar, and then ask passers-by to do a social survey, and then be paid one dollar.

One dollar was not cheap at this time, so passers-by were attracted, and then someone took a piece of paper and started asking questions.

"What was the first car you bought after graduation?"

"It's Ford."

"Is it second-hand?"

"Yes."

"How much is it worth?"

"It's about 600 US dollars, but I have no choice. Although she is very old, I need a car for work, going out with my girlfriend, and going out for fishing on Sundays."

"Okay, so there is a new car that costs about [-] US dollars. This is it. Would you buy it?" The person who asked the question turned the paper over and it turned out to be a beautiful poster.

"Oh my god, this car?" the man's companion exclaimed.

"Please, please fill out a questionnaire and leave your contact information. When we launch this first car suitable for young people in the summer, there will be a mysterious discount, and you can also get a cash reward of one dollar."

"Our Rover Motors is a long-established and aristocratic product with British roots. Our mission at Rover Motors is to allow everyone to buy a car of their own."

People around quickly gathered together. When others took a look, they thought, "Oh, what's going on?" When they saw the cute car with big eyes on the poster, many people quickly stretched out their hands and said, "Give me one."

"Is this a dog cart?"

"Yes, he will serve the family like a loyal dog and spend the best time with you."

"It seems that your Rover cars cannot be sold in our United States?"

"Yes, this is because some politicians don't want your young people to buy their first new car in life. They want you to buy second-hand cars. Only if you buy second-hand cars, then those who have sold second-hand cars will buy them. New car.”

“These damn politicians….”

"Yes, I believe the price of this car will surprise everyone."

Many people nodded because the last question on the poster asked what everyone expected the price of this car to be. There were several options below, ranging from US$1100 to US$1200. $1200-1300, $1300-1400, $1400-1500, and then nothing.

In other words, the final selling price of this car will not exceed US$1500. In addition, with this survey poster, you can get a discount when purchasing the car.

Rover Motors also began to advertise in newspapers. Rover Motors designs and manufactures the first car in life for young people. It doesn't sound good to say that it is cheap, but it has to play the emotional card.

Moreover, Rover also displayed its first prototype car at the busiest square in London at Christmas time, and executives confirmed that the final global selling price would not be higher than US$1500.

For a time, many media reported it, and because of Dai Ying's relationship with Lao America, many people in Lao America also saw the prototype car on Christmas TV.

Here comes the slogan, dog car, the first car for young people.

The dog car is a loyal guardian of the family. It shows a promotional image of luggage strapped to the luggage carrier and taking children and pets on the road with them.

Dog cars allow all families to have their own car.

The dog car is produced by Rover Motors, the oldest car manufacturer in England.

The dog cart is designed for you, just for you.

The global launch time is in the summer, because young people graduate and find jobs during the summer. As for the specific time, no one knows.

Of course, many experts and others say how good this car is, but at a price of less than $1500, it pales in comparison.

Moreover, Rover also released the professional test results from Daiying. Although the overall performance is not good, it is still qualified. Coupled with dual airbags, this is a second-hand car.

No matter what kind of engineer you are, if the professor comes out and beeps, you will not be convinced when the price is less than 1500.

Of course, some people say that dog cars are not good-sounding. If there are such names, they will be immediately protested by pet lovers.

For those low-end cars, second-hand car dealers started to feel cold. I originally wanted to hug them during Christmas, but now they are better. My heart is the same temperature as the outside world, so cold!

Because everyone who wants to buy a car decides to look at it again, unless you want to sell it for 1500?

But how is it possible, that is, the Beetle in Europe can be sold at this price, but the price of the Beetle has increased compared with history. First, the welfare of workers in the automobile industry has increased, and the other is the damn airbags. Two more airbags are added. This must be the cost.

The market has been smashed even before it is sold. This will have to wait until it is sold, so the car manufacturers are also preparing to start building the cheapest cars. However, the R&D department has said that this will not work for a year and a half, and we have The manufacturing cost cannot be lower than 1500, unless the allocation is reduced, crazy reduction.

Moreover, Rover Motors has also successfully attracted traffic to its mid-range cars, with many people ordering cars at once.

Many people who have seen the prototype car even want to order a car in advance, but unfortunately Rover Motors does not accept it.

On New Year's Day in 1970, Thursday, the 24th of the winter lunar month, Liu Hai went to work as usual. Recently, he had put aside other work. The heavy transport truck was not urgent anyway. As for the speedboat, it was not urgent for the time being, because it was freezing on the artificial lake, and everyone could skate. Of course, the distance there is too far, and skating is not allowed. After all, the water in the middle is too deep.

Looking at the foggy sky, it's mainly because there are too many factories here, there are no environmental protection measures or anything like that, and there are all kinds of chimneys.

When we came to the maintenance department, the desk calendar had been changed. The new year has come too fast, but the sports car has not been built yet. This is a little more troublesome. The first one is the jump light. This one has a separate switch, and there are also Linked together with the headlight switch.

Then there is the convertible soft top. This bangs is designed to be hydraulic and not electric. The main reason is to worry about the motor failure in heavy rains. It is directly hydraulic and will not hinder no matter how heavy the rain falls.

The other thing is the frameless windows, which are actually mainly in the internal structure of the door.

The reason why Liu Hai is not in a hurry is because he can't make it in time for the dealer's Christmas anyway. He will take his time and let his subordinates become familiar with these designs. This will save him a lot of work when making other convertible sports cars in the future.

Liu Hai went to the tank truck workshop and the crane workshop, and they have all been upgraded. "Get ready to celebrate the New Year after finishing the work." Liu Hai has his own plan in mind. He will celebrate the New Year after finishing the sports car.

The motorcycle factory has begun assembling dog carts. The number of employees in other workshops of the motorcycle factory has been reduced, and they are all here for the final assembly workshop.

The superiors are planning to find another place to build an automobile industrial zone in Shandong. It is not located in Huangdao because the industries are not put together. In addition, there is no space there. How many materials and workers are needed to produce more than 2500 cars a day? , ports, railways, etc. are still being expanded.

Add another industrial park with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of dog carts, and the local area will probably come to a halt.

So I had no choice but to choose another place. As for where to choose, Liu Hai didn’t know because the leaders’ current thinking was very different from what Liu Hai thought at that time.

Take Huangdao as an example. The area around the industrial zone is like an iron barrel. We are afraid of problems, but it is not the hen that lays golden eggs.

Sun Aiguo has not appeared in the maintenance department for a while. Liu Hai knew that the factory director was very busy.

"Come on Intel, you will release chips next year, and we can join the industry." Liu Hai changed his work clothes and started to work. The 4004 chip will be released next year.

Liu Hai heard on the radio recently that a ceasefire seemed to be coming in the south. Liu Hai remembered that historically, it seemed that consensus would only be reached during the presidential election in the United States, because it was related to the issue of re-election.

In fact, these politicians have a good grasp of the timing. Once it is advanced, various problems will arise for the soldiers returning from the battlefield.

Moreover, since the soldiers are in the south, their families in the United States definitely want their families to come back as soon as possible, so this time point must be grasped before the election.

Liu Hai came to the workshop and started to be busy in the workshop.

The new grilled fish launched by the motorcycle factory this year was also praised by everyone, especially because it was so oily that the oil wrapped in the kraft paper was soaked through the paper.

When people buy things at this time, it depends on whether there is a lot of oil. The oil on the grilled fish is soaked in cooking oil for a while before grilling. This soaking is also an automatic device, that is, the grilled fish will enter the workshop after it is dried outside and reaches the standard. , first soak the spice brine in a large stainless steel pool, then pass through a blower to dry the water vapor, and then enter the oil equipment for soaking. After the oil equipment is soaked, it goes into the oven.

All automation, in fact, is related to the running speed of the production line. Different fish have different batch sizes, because the baking time of small fish is shorter, and the production line runs faster.

Serve the guests on a plate and serve it with wine and rice. There are three flavors: five-spice, barbecue, and spicy.

There is no need for spicy food, because not many people can eat Sichuan peppercorns now, so there is no problem with spicy food.

Of course, Liu Hai has already eaten it, and the first batch is supplied internally, so everyone can give their opinions.

So this winter, fish in lakes in the south have suffered. Of course, the motorcycle factory has certain specifications, and small ones are not allowed.

There are more fish in the south at this time, which can be regarded as increasing the income of the fishermen there. Although it is a collective, as long as there are tasks, there will be income.

After the local fishermen catch the fish, they kill the fish and send it away when it reaches a certain level. They are continuously sent to Kyoto.

There are also people from other big cities who have gone to investigate, especially those in the Yangtze River Basin. People already like to eat fish. After doing so, it tastes better, but of course the price is also expensive.

At noon, Liu Hai was about to take a break when he accidentally saw the car renderings on his desk.

"How long ago did the Transformers Autobots cartoon come out? Can I make one myself?" Liu Hai muttered in his heart.

Liu Hai knew that the Autobots were created by toy manufacturers and comic companies, but he forgot the specific year. Just like Superman and the like, they were also comics in the early days and were later modified.

And it was changed to a big IP, because people who read comics have grown up.

"But at this time, the domestic cultural industry..." Liu Hai thought of the domestic cultural industry, and he didn't want to engage in it. The art that was done in the country in the early days was real art. What was it when Liu Hai traveled through time.

No way, I can get into it after paying money, just like that music school in the southwest. Of course Liu Hai is not surprised. Some of Liu Hai's classmates took the art exam. In some art schools, you can be admitted as long as you go out with certain professors to collect music. Of course Everyone knows what the price is.

Can such a person do well in art?As a result, when people later heard about art students, they said, "This kid is not good at studying and cannot get into a serious university."

This has led to many people who really want to study art, or who are already capable in it, to be prejudiced.

When the 72-year-old Ni comes to our country, we should be able to start working on it. I thought about it and put it aside for now. The most important thing now is to build a prototype car, and then celebrate the New Year.

Small sports cars are also secret and cannot be seen by outsiders. These cars will not be sold in the country and will not be seen at all. Just like there are so many Bumblebee cars, motorcycles and sports cars produced in China, there is no trace at all in the country.

Although some people wanted to get one for fun, a certain boss's son wanted one after hearing about it. Sun Aiguo went directly to the boss's office and asked if he would approve it?

As a result, the boss's son was sent to the army the next day, and soon after his superiors found out about it, the boss took a back seat.

Do you know how much a sports car costs in a foreign country?Sun Aiguo is not afraid of anyone at all. He has a lot of mother-in-law behind him and a lot of credit. The motorcycle factory is also the benchmark set by his superiors. If Sun Aiguo gives in at this time, he will be in big trouble.

After hearing this, Liu Hai didn't think there was anything wrong. If it were him, he would have asked it himself. If this was opened, Sun Aiguo would be finished. Let's not talk about the value of the car. Then everyone wants it. What do you do? manage?

On Sunday, Liu Hai came to the teacher's house for dinner again. The junior brother saw Liu Hai come in on the sofa and grinned. The junior brother had crawled all over the house and could run around holding things. The teacher used soft materials for the wall bases and so on. Wrap it up.

"Big Brother." The little guy originally called him Big Brother, but the call was incomplete.

"Junior brother." Liu Hai took off his coat and put it on the coat rack, then came to the sofa.

The junior brother reached out for Liu Hai to hug him, and Liu Hai hugged her. The junior junior sister opened her room and poked her head in to say hello: "Senior brother."

"Yes." After Liu Hai agreed, the junior sister closed the door. Because the door was not closed, the junior junior sister often crawled to find his sister.

"Sit down." The teacher brought fruits to Liu Hai. These things were placed high, because when the younger brother gets anything now, his first reaction is to taste it first. Of course, it is also smart to put it on the table. , the ones on the ground won’t try the taste.

"There is a fruit here. A friend brought it back from Hong Kong Island, but we are not used to eating it." The teacher took Liu Hai to the balcony and opened the partition. Liu Hai asked about the smell and smell.

"This thing was brought back from Hong Kong Island. It is said to be not cheap. The smell almost made us vomit. We opened the two and threw them away. The more we put this thing away, the smellier it became." Liu Hai saw that it was indeed durian.

"This is called durian or something. It's said to be a tropical fruit. My friend thought it was strange when he bought it. I didn't notice it when I bought it. After I got on the train and got to Kyoto, I felt it smelled more and more."

"You can take it away later. My friend's family has some eating habits and some are not used to eating." The teacher added.

"Is this like stinky tofu?" Liu Hai actually doesn't care whether he likes it or not. He can eat it or not eat it, but he can't reach the crazy level like other people.

The durian trees in Liu Hai's aircraft carrier space have already produced fruit. Liu Hai waited for time for artificial pollination, but the first batch of trees were not ideal.

"Yeah, let's go in. Fortunately, no one lives next door to us, otherwise we wouldn't stun people." The teacher said with disgust.

Liu Hai nodded. The temperature on the balcony was low, and the junior brother was already rubbing his nose. It seemed that he was also very smelly.

The smell of durian is not easy to dissipate, and the smell lasted for a while after entering the door.

After dinner, we went to the teacher's study, and the younger brother was handed over to his wife. She usually had a nanny, but she had a holiday on Sunday.

"I'm planning to start the test after the Chinese New Year. There were problems with the test a year ago and I was busy. Everyone has families and children, so it's not easy." Zhu Haiyang said while holding the tea made by his bangs.

Liu Hai also made a drink himself and said: "I'm ready to finish the project at hand. There is no need to start a new project. It's easy for me to talk about it, and everyone else has a family."

"The car you designed is very beautiful, high quality and cheap, that's the name." Zhu Haiyang still didn't understand why the car was called a dog car. Shouldn't it be called something like construction?

Liu Hai shook his head and said: "Actually, the little turtle motorcycle and T-Rex sports car I designed earlier have different cultural differences between the East and the West, but the final decision is not in my hands."

"You have created a miracle. I went to a meeting in the ministry, built a car in 22 days, and got an order for 22 units, but I didn't name you." Zhu Haiyang's level is high enough, and there is a high-level meeting in the ministry. It will be announced at the time, but it did not say who took the lead in designing it. It just said that a large enterprise built a car in [-] days, and the other departments should learn from it.

"This is not just my credit. I am just the leader. It is also everyone's hard work." Liu Hai shook his head and took a sip of tea.

"When I start testing this project, you have to come and help me keep an eye on it. You young people have quick brains." The teacher said again.

"Teacher, don't worry."

"I heard from the factory director that you have already made a decision at the shipyard. What kind of ship are you going to build in the next year?"

"Passenger ships, we still have a lot of demand for this." Liu Hai explained.

　Two changes completed
