City: I, A World Car Overlord

Chapter 72

Although Lin Fan said that these two renderings are very similar to the Baolong electric A4, but in terms of design language, they are quite different.

Take A6 as an example. It is longer than A4, and the body is taller than A4. The style is also quite different.

The style of A4 is mainly sporty and practical, which is more suitable for the personality of young people and demonstrates the pursuit of personality.

What A6 shows is an indescribable atmosphere and calmness, with a strong business atmosphere.

It can be said that the adjustment of the details of the A4 has made the whole car less of the frivolity of a sports model, and a bit more inexplicable tension.

The appearance of the A8 combines all the features of the A4 and A6 models.

At first glance, it is a fusion of the style and soul of the two design languages ​​A4 and A6.

In addition, that kind of noble temperament and strong domineering from the inside out are also revealed, which is awe-inspiring.

The nearly 300 R&D personnel present included three generations of old, middle and young people.

Like the older Xu Lao, he is over 60 years old.

The nearly two hundred people he brought over were between 40 and 50 years old.

Those recruited by the company are very young, around 30 years old.

But when everyone sees the A8, they will be attracted and even shocked by it.

This is the importance of the appearance of a car model.

It takes a long time to know the performance of the car.

But the appearance of the car directly determines the intuitive impression of consumers.

Just like looking for a girlfriend, personality takes a long time to get along with you.

The appearance and figure determine whether you will chase her or even consider marrying her and having children.

“Mr. Lin, these two models… are you designing them?” Seventy-three

After a long while, Xu Lao was relieved from the deep shock, and asked with doubts.

This cannot be blamed on Xu Lao for doubting the origin of the design of these two models. He has been involved in the development and manufacturing of automobiles for a lifetime, and has a thorough knowledge of the design process of the new models.

From the beginning of the design of a car model, dozens of designers are required to give dozens of design ideas according to the brand’s positioning, and then strictly summarize and summarize.

Then, based on these design ideas, thousands of design sketches were extended, and then the design sketches were presented, selected, and finally the most successful one was determined.

This is a very complicated process. Didn’t you see those professional design teams with dozens of hundreds of people at every turn, and the design costs range from several million to hundreds of millions?

But here, Lin Fan directly came up with two nearly perfect design sketches, only need to follow these two design sketches as the basis for refinement and technical realization.

Except for Mr. Xu, the others were equally shocked. They also looked at Lin Fan with disbelief.

Even if I know that this is what Lin Fan designed, I still want to hear Lin Fan speak it out himself.

Of course Lin Fan doesn’t have such defying design ability, but he has a system.

Every time you select a car model in the system, you have to search for it.

Naturally, there is a steady stream of design inspiration in my mind.

“It took Mr. Lin for a long time to design this…” Chen Huiyi said.

Yesterday, Chen Huiyi was working at Lin Fan’s home. She watched Lin Fan draw these two models with her own eyes.

Although she didn’t understand car design too much, she still knew something. At that time, Chen Huiyi was completely stunned by Lin Fan.

“Hi! Mr. Lin is awesome!”

“Mr. Lin is simply a car genius!”

“It’s incredible, it took only half a day to design it…”

Lin Fan pressed his hand, didn’t want to explain too much, it didn’t make sense to pretend to be forceful with these people.

Start assigning tasks: “The A6 should be built according to the design concept of a C-class luxury car, using the chassis technology, suspension and central control technology of the A4, and the rear drive should be changed to four-wheel drive…”

Lin Fan gave a detailed explanation of the corresponding data he compiled, then looked at Zhang Kai, smiled and said: “A6 model will be handed over to your team to complete it. Are there any problems?”

Suddenly named by Lin Fan, Zhang Kai’s figure was shocked. He is a designer and developer, but he is still very young. Although he has a research and development team, he has not independently developed a new model…

“Mr. Lin, the development of new models is too important to the company’s strategy, I…”

Zhang Kai trembled slightly, worried that things would be messed up, and his eyes were full of infinite desire.

That is a brand new model, even if it is an extension of the A4, it is also a brand new C-class luxury model.

If your own team independently developed this C-class car, it would be a proper high-level design and development team.

“I believe you can do it!”

Lin Fan interrupted Zhang Kai, and he could see the fanaticism in Zhang Kai’s eyes.

The kind of young people who are full of energy, the kind of eager pursuit to become famous in one fell swoop.

This is what Lin Fan wants, and he needs to train a group of such design and R&D teams.

The company needs to grow.

There will be more and more new models.

More and more old models will be updated.

More and more R&D personnel and teams are needed.

Looking at the A6 design artwork, Mr. Xu and several old guys all smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

Of course Lin Fan looked in his eyes and smiled faintly.

Because he knew that most of the people like Mr. Xu came from several major domestic car companies.

Among them, several R&D engineers who had left Hongqi Group were summoned by Xu Lao.

They have all witnessed the difficult and fruitless R&D process of the original car company.

For example, Hongqi Group’s Shengshi C9 is a luxury model at the same level as the A6.

However, Hong Qi took 10 billion, and it has been more than a year, and even the engine technology innovation has not been completed.

It took Lin Fan only one day to design a new model, interior configuration, powertrain structure…

When everyone was still in shock, Lin Fan clapped his hands and asked Chen Huiyi to show the A8’s conceptual design.

More than 50 drawings, including brand new shapes, interiors, power, and transmission that are completely different from A4 and A6, all were bewildered.

A4 is powered by graphene batteries and super-magnet motors.

A6 is powered by graphene batteries and super magnetic hub motors.

The A8 seems to have returned to the design of the graphene battery and super-magnet motor as the power structure.

It is said that the A8 is a D-class luxury car.

Why do you go back as you play?

Is the so-called A8 an extension of A4?

What the hell is the CVT permanent magnet continuously variable transmission structure?

In addition, the entire body is made of Grade 2 X aluminum alloy.

Is it necessary to use a high-precision 3D printer to make A8?

The most important thing is, how much do you plan to control the cost of this car?

Looking at these design drawings and listening to Lin Fan’s design direction, the scene was silent.

After a while, Mr. Xu asked, “Mr. Lin, why haven’t I seen your power structure? That is different from A4 and even more different from A6…”

Lin Fan nodded and smiled: “This is a brand-new battery-powered method. It was developed during my visit to erection. I call it supermagnetic plasma technology.”

“This plasma technology allows the current input into the super-magnet motor to generate a high-speed electron flow, which bursts out more powerful power, and can exert power energy more efficiently…”

Lin Fan explained the level 1 plasma drive technology obtained from the system, and everyone was drooling.

You should know that the Baolong electric X4 that Lin Fan took out of the system, equipped with a level 1 plasma engine, can run at a maximum speed of 240KM/H with a maximum horsepower of 560hp and a maximum power of 480KW.

Such a powerful plasma engine, if it is mounted on a medium-sized luxury car, how terrible the power can be exerted, and how powerful its performance is, it is simply unimaginable.

In the opinion of these R&D engineers, the powerful performance of the first-class plasma engine is more than one grade stronger than the multi-cylinder fuel engines such as V10 and W12 on the market.

Moreover, can the permanent magnet CVT continuously variable transmission structure, which is very different from the traditional CVT continuously variable transmission structure, be made based on their current knowledge?

Since it is a mass-produced model, it is impossible to complete it with a high-precision 3D printer.

According to the grade 2 aluminum alloy body marked on the drawings, the almost abnormal interior manufacturing standards and electrical equipment requirements, can those domestic suppliers find it?

After another while, a middle-aged engineer stood up tremblingly and asked: “Mr. Lin…this car…is there a rough R&D budget and market price positioning…”

Lin Fan understood the engineer’s meaning and concern, and said loudly: “Don’t think too much, although let go of it, my budget cost is less than 1.5 million…”

hiss!

1.5 million!

Grumbling…

The handwriting is a bit big…

There was another sound of swallowing saliva at the scene.

Lin Fan looked at everyone’s reaction with a solemn expression: “There is no need to consider the cost. I just want to establish the Baolong brand’s position in the celestial market through the Baolong electric A8.””The goal of our research and development this time is to go high-end. Correspondingly, its price will break the ceiling of domestic cars. We want the Baolong electric A8 to stand at the top of the domestic car industry… …..”

“This car is going to compete with Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Honda Acura. We want foreign car companies to see that our Tianchao national brands also have D-class luxury cars that they can only look up to.”

Listening to Lin Fan’s impassioned speech, the emotions of the R&D engineers present were all aroused, and they were extremely excited. As long as Lin Fan gave an order, he would immediately lift up his sleeves and open the frame.

At this time, the middle-aged R&D engineer just opened his mouth and said, “General Manager Lin, the Baolong electric A8 project will not only test the R&D capabilities of our Baolong company, but all the parts on the body must be of the highest specifications. standard.”

“Therefore, the R&D capabilities and manufacturing processes of all component suppliers are also an important challenge. We need them to participate, and it is best to have a dedicated person in the center to coordinate and coordinate…”

This person has been a poor uncle in his middle age. He has left a deep impression on Lin Fan during the previous R&D process, and his work attitude is very similar to that of Xu Lao.

Lin Fan nodded: “Lao Li is right. Users who buy D-class luxury cars are either rich or expensive. What they care about is the ultimate driving experience, the noble status symbol, and the pursuit of perfection in any subtleties.”

“I have already considered this point. I have asked the purchasing department and the quality inspection department to contact all the suppliers, so that every manufacturing link can participate in the entire project, and I have arranged special personnel to coordinate to ensure the smooth and smooth production. Controllability…”

After Lin Fan dropped the relevant data, he left the R&D room.

The scalp-numbing plasma engine technical data alone will be enough for them to study for a long time.

The large conference room of Baolong Company.

Hundreds of corporate CEOs and scientific researchers have gathered here.

Even Comrade Hu Zhipeng was called by Lin Fan, because half of the companies here belong to the Guangqi Group.

Lin Fan didn’t have any courtesy, boarded the podium in full view, picked up the microphone and directly started to announce his decision.

“In the past few months, with the full support of all business owners, Baolong’s two electric vehicles have been able to achieve very good market sales in the micro-face and B-level markets.”

“But the next Baolong electric A8 project is different from the past. It is of great significance for both the Baolong company and the entire national automobile industry of the celestial dynasty.”

“Therefore, I only have one requirement here. All the parts in the order of A8 must be produced in full accordance with the required research and development standards. It is not nearly the same, and it can be said that there is no.”

“In the A8 project, there will be no special procurement parts within the acceptable range. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can do it, we will continue to do it. If you can’t do it, we will choose another one without hesitation…”

Lin Fan looked solemn, without a trace of joking.

Everyone can see how much Lin Fan attaches importance to the A8 project.

In the past few months, Baolong electric MPV and Baolong electric A4 swept the micro-face and B-segment car market.

Baolong makes a lot of money with these two models, and these parts suppliers also make a lot of money.

Baolong is the biggest funder of these parts suppliers. How dare they question Lin Fan’s words?

Hearing that Lin Fan wanted to build a D-class luxury car, Hu Zhipeng flew from Guangcheng to Shacheng in the first place and put forward his own ideas.

Now that the domestic A-class car market is being suppressed by the Sun State car companies, Baolong should give full play to the spirit of the industry leader and enter the A-class car market strongly.

But you are so abrupt, you have to use the power of the entire company, and also pull in all the spare parts suppliers to challenge the D-class car market. To put it nicely is to be courageous, and to put it badly is to do nothing.. .

Lin Fan immediately went back. Baolong is going to build a real luxury car, enhance the compulsiveness of domestic cars, and increase the beer and premium capabilities of the Baolong brand.

Powerlong will rely on this project to achieve a real breakthrough and make Powerlong’s brand value, design philosophy, and rock-solid quality pursuit a resounding name.

Lin Fan has shown his will to fight back, expressing to Baolong itself and all the spare parts suppliers that he must do his best and achieve the ultimate strong demand.

Hu Zhipeng was speechless and had to make a promise to fully cooperate with the research and development of Baolong’s Baolong A8 project.

If you don’t cooperate, Lin Fan will kill someone and disqualify the supplier. Baolong’s father can’t afford to offend…
