City: I, A World Car Overlord

Chapter 87

Lin Fan put forward Baolong’s unique platform technology, which made the R&D team and students excited.

That is the platform technology of the tall, almost the patent of foreign car companies, and now my company is capable of doing it, which in itself is a kind of pride and pride.

While the R&D team was gearing up with the schoolmasters, waiting for Lin Fan to issue specific R&D tasks, Lin Fan poured cold water on them.

Because Lin Fan didn’t plan to participate in the research and development by himself, but let the R&D team of more than 300 people and the academic masters use their imagination and ability to complete it by themselves. Lin Fan only provides technical support.

Therefore, the R&D team and the schoolmasters were divided into three groups under Xu Lao’s arrangement.

The Zhang Kai team continues to extend upwards, and while completing the A6 R&D, it must also participate in the project.

Lao Li led another team to develop a new A-class car based on the A4, which is an integral part of the project.

Xu Lao himself led the main team, as well as the Xueba team, with the technical support of Lin Fan, to develop the Baolong platform full-time.

For Lin Fan’s decision, Mr. Xu is very supportive. According to him, Lin Fan alone will not work for the company to develop. Instead, it requires an excellent team to work together.

Lin Fan thinks so too, after all, everyone is gathering firewood with high flames.

After all, he is a multi-billion boss, so he can’t be in the R&D room every day.

The boss has the boss’s tasks to do, like Jack Ma, pretending to be forced everywhere…

The A6 developed by Zhang Kai’s team has also entered the trial stage.

It is not too far away from patent applications, vehicle catalogs, and submission by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for review.

According to past experience, as long as it is submitted for review, it means that the entire vehicle can be rolled off the assembly line.

Baolong electric cars have always started production after passing the test run and inspection, and they are so confident.

Therefore, Lin Fan is still very satisfied with his decision and highly affirmed Zhang Kai’s ability.

Now, the production line of the proud country from Zhuliya has been successfully separated by Xu Lao, and A8 has occupied the civilian version production line.

The other production line was left unused. Lin Fan did not use this production line because none of the current models are used.

As for which model to produce with this production line, Lin Fan hasn’t decided yet because the system hasn’t responded for a long time.

If the system does not respond, he has no chance to choose a model.

Without a suitable car, Lin Fan would rather leave it idle.

Of course, it is possible to develop and produce Baolong electric X4.

However, the Baolong electric X4 is too big, almost surpassing the range of off-road vehicles, and is not suitable for the Chinese off-road vehicle market.

It suits the national conditions of a free country, but Lin Fan is not yet ready to go abroad and develop overseas markets.

After Liu Hong’s transformation, Dafa Company is suitable for the mass production needs of electric vehicles, and two Mitsubishi production lines are also ready.

One of them is mass-produced A4 models, which can basically meet the needs of the current market, and another production line is free.

Lin Fan plans to use this spare production line to mass produce the upcoming Baolong electric A6.

Lin Fan thought about the current situation of the company, and couldn’t help sighing: “How do I feel that the situation is similar to that of the Guangqi Group? There are two more production lines now, and there is a kind of rush to wait for the rice to be cooked.”

Chen Hui on the side heard the words, he hehe said: “President Lin is very rich now, the assembly production lines are so many that they are not used, hehe…”

Lin Fan said, “This is only temporary. After the A6 is off the assembly line, we will start to develop new models. At that time, no amount of production lines will be enough.”

Ahuiyi looked surprised: “No way, President Lin, you are going to develop a new model again? Can you tell me what kind of car you want to develop?”

“Of course, but I haven’t figured out whether to build a sports car first, or an SUV.”

Lin Fan said, looked at Chen Huiyi, and asked, “What kind of car do you think I build next?”Chen Huiyi couldn’t help rolling his eyes when he heard Lin Fan’s tone of making a new car playful.

Are you building a car, not a toy?

To make a car so simple, how do you let others live?

However, think about it in the past six months, first developed the electric vehicle technology, and almost produced three models at lightning speed. Chen Huiyi believed Lin Fan’s words again.

Seeing Lin Fan looking at him with a questioning tone, Chen Huiyi felt his heartbeat speed up a lot, his face was flushed, and he stubbornly said: “Run…sports car…”

“Then let’s build a sports car first.”

Lin Fan nodded, and then thought: “Do you know why I haven’t provided you with a car?”

Chen Huiyi just talked casually, but Lin Fan readily agreed to build a sports car next step, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

Chen Huiyi was stunned when she heard Lin Fan ask herself why she didn’t allocate a car to herself. She never thought about letting the company or Lin Fan allocate a car to herself.

Before Chen Huiyi could react, Lin Fan continued: “Because A4, A6, and A8 are not suitable for you, if you build a sports car, you can have one.”

“Ah… President Lin… I…”

……

When Baolong is busy with production and research and development.

Baolong Electric MPV continues to expand the market.

Sales of Baolong Electric A4 continue to climb.

The Baolong electric A8 cannibalized the D-class luxury car market.

A special strategy for Baolong electric vehicles is brewing.

Yiqi Group, General Manager’s Office.

Under Volkswagen, Walton, the director of Audi’s automotive marketing department, made a special trip to visit Yiqi Group General Manager Tian Guangcheng.

“Tian, ​​if this plan is successfully implemented, we at Audi will provide you with a full range of support.”

“Mr. Walton, I have to say that you are not only an excellent marketing director, you are also a veritable commercial spy.”

“No, no, Tian, ​​I’m just considering your and my own interests. Once this plan is successful, I will be promoted to the president of Audi Datianchao District, and you, Tian, ​​will also get higher benefits, including money and reputation. , Status and rights.”

After listening to Walton’s plan and persuasion, Tian Guangcheng fell into deep thought.

Audi’s current president of Tianchao District returned to his country due to illness, and Walton temporarily assumed the post of president.

But Walton is ambitious. He is unwilling to be just a marketing director. Now he has an opportunity in front of him.

Moreover, Walton has achieved the acquiescence and support of Audi headquarters, as long as his plan is successful, it will be a great achievement.

His plan is very simple. It is to secretly assist Tian Guangcheng, general manager of Yiqi Group, to replace Lu Changsheng, general manager of Hongqi Group, so that Tian Guangcheng can win the Shengshi C9 project.

Then, Audi also promised to help Tian Guangcheng to start the research and development of the Shengshi C9, to get the Shengshi C9 off the assembly line as soon as possible, and to obtain an order for the Tianchao Xingzheng car.

How much help is this?

Audi will send their design and R&D team to provide a full range of powertrain, platform chassis and gearbox technology for the Saatchi & Saatchi C9.

To put it bluntly, one of Audi’s models is put on the outerwear of the Shengshi C9, and this outerwear is personally made by Audi’s top designers.

The reason why Audi wants to do this is actually very simple.

Due to the rise of Baolong electric vehicles, Audi felt uneasy.

Baolong Electric A4 cannibalize the B-segment market share, and the biggest loss is the Audi A4.

The Baolong Electric A8 has taken the lead in the D-class luxury car market, stealing 30% of the Audi A8’s share.

Compared with the defeat of the Acura 901, it is the Audi that has suffered the most from market squeeze and sales loss.

Audi executives even believe that every model developed by Baolong is a favorite of Audi.

Because Audi A4, A6, and A8 are the kings of B-class cars, C-class cars and D-class luxury cars respectively.

But Baolong electric A4 and A8 are threatening the king status of Audi A4 and A8.

Audi executives are almost certain that Baolong’s next model must be the A6…

Judging from the market survey and the feedback received by Audi’s fourth son store.

Consumers like to compare Baolong with Audi and decide which model to buy…

Nothing else, the naming rules for both are the same: A4, A6, A8…

The ghost knows whether Baolong electric cars will come out A1, A3, Q3, Q5, or even TT…

The naming of this horse is the same as his big Audi. This is not Baolong deliberately clocking right, and what is it?

This is to catch up with the popularity of Audi!

Baolong Motors is simply shameless!

But this is not the most important.

The important thing is that Baolong has successfully developed a D-class luxury car and achieved impressive results.

Moreover, the Asian Economic Forum actually used the Baolong Electric A8, which greatly enhanced its brand status.

This has to make Audi think and vigilant.

Since all D-class luxury cars can be built.

It is not a problem to use a C-class car.

If Baolong has developed a C-class luxury car and successfully listed it.

It is undoubtedly a huge impact on the Shengshi C9 project and the current line of vehicles.

Do you think, since there are ready-made C-class luxury cars suitable for Xingzheng vehicles and Baolong is a national enterprise, will Xingzheng vehicles also fall into the hands of Baolong?

If this happens.

Is there still a need for the Shengshi C9 project?

Not to mention other joint venture or foreign brand models.

You know, in the celestial dynasty, the Audi A6 has the title of the god of official cars.

The Audi A6 occupies a large share of the Tianchao Xingzheng car purchase project.

If Baolong electric vehicles get the Xingzheng car project, the enhancement of Baolong’s brand value and influence will undoubtedly be huge, and it will also cause unimaginable disasters to Audi.

Therefore, the Audi headquarters must suppress Baolong and prevent Baolong electric vehicles from becoming official cars.

Therefore, Walton, who has served as the marketing director of Tianchao for many years and is very familiar with Tianchao, took the initiative to invite…

After a period of investigation and secret operation, Walton came up with a set of plans that Audi executives believed was effective.

I have to say that Walton’s eyes are very accurate, because Tian Guangcheng is also ambitious.

He also wants to go further, and also wants to do some achievements to get the above recognition and get the public praise.

“Mr. Walton, you are a brilliant speaker. Obviously, I was moved by you.”

“Happy cooperation, Tian, ​​for our various interests.”After a long while, Tian Guangcheng made up his mind and shook hands with Walton to reach a cooperation.

……

Hongqi Group, R&D Center.

Lu Changsheng came here again, looking at the busy scene and the satisfactory progress of the Shengshi C9, the joy on his face added a bit, and his attitude towards the R&D engineers was much better.

Here are five R&D engineers from Baolong. With their help, Shengshi C9 has made a test run and is testing and correcting related technologies and defects.

The completion progress of Hongqi Shengshi C9 is almost synchronized with Baolong Electric A6, because the research and development data of Zhang Kai’s team will be communicated to the engineers who assist in the research and development here in real time.

After all, at the beginning, Lin Fan took away 1 billion R&D funds from Hong Qi, taking people’s money and helping others to eliminate disasters, so he was naturally responsible for the end and completed the Shengshi C9 project as soon as possible.

The project manager reports: “Mr. Lu, according to the current progress, the Shengshi C9 can be offline within one month at the latest.”

Lv Changsheng nodded: “Very well, I had some doubts about the use of Baolong’s electric technology in the Shengshi C9, but after seeing their A8’s big sales, I was relieved.”

The project manager smiled bitterly: “Yes, Mr. Lu, but they even built D-segment cars, and we haven’t even rolled off the C-segment cars. It’s really embarrassing.”

Lu Changsheng waved his hand: “A8 is personally involved in the research and development of A8. Don’t compare with the guy who has changed too much. Just do the Shengshi C9 project in your hands.”

The project manager nodded: “Fortunately, there are R&D engineers sent by Baolong to help, otherwise we don’t have such a fast R&D progress. I want to go to the R&D department of Baolong to see who are there.”

Lu Changsheng looked around and said in doubt, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Lao Cheng in the past two days?”

The project manager shook his head and said, “He said he was ill. I thought he was fine the other day.”

“If you are sick, you should take a good rest. Lao Cheng is not here, so I will leave it to you here, and report directly to me if you have anything to do.”

“Yes, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t care either. It’s normal for anyone who doesn’t have the three plagues and six diseases. It’s normal to get sick occasionally.

Lu Changsheng walked out of the R&D center. During this time, he was in a good mood, his waist straightened a lot.

Every time I went to report on the progress of Shengshi C9, I would be praised by the old leader, and even the other leaders in the department looked at him with admiration.

Think about the start of the Shengshi C9 project, it took more than a year, more than 2 billion, and even the basic power and platform fit have not been resolved.

The electric assembly technology provided by Baolong was adopted, and the test runs were completed in just over two months. The 1 billion yuan is not too worthwhile.

The only pity is that the progress is a bit too fast.

When Shengshi C9 goes offline, the remaining billions will be handed over…

But there is no other way. The situation is pressing, and status is more important than money.

At this moment, the cell phone rang, and it was the secretary who called. After the call was connected, the secretary’s tone seemed more rapid.

Lv Changsheng walked back to the office quickly, saw the person coming, and quickly said: “Oh, Director Liu, just say hello if you have anything to do, why bother to come here by yourself…”

Before he finished speaking, Lv Changsheng felt that the atmosphere was not right when he looked at the face of the visitor, so he put away his smile, and tentatively asked: “Dr. Liu, is something wrong…”

Director Liu didn’t speak, he took out a document from his briefcase and put it in Lu Changsheng’s hands.

“Lao Lu, take a look for yourself. This is a serious matter. The comrades from the audit team will come here later. If there are any problems, you can tell me now that there may be room for recovery.”

When Lu Changsheng heard the words, he couldn’t help being shocked, and sweat came out of his back.

I opened the document, and before I read a few pages, I felt that something was wrong and my head buzzed.

This is a report document. It was Zhong’s report on the entire Shengshi C9 project. Some of the things involved are indeed true, and some of them are catching the eye.

Some of the inside stories are hearsay, but if you look closely, you can still find out some things, especially the accounts, which cannot withstand scrutiny in many places.

Lv Changsheng got more and more anxious, and soon reached the last item. When he saw that the informant was the familiar name, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Secretly cursed in my heart: Lao Cheng ah Lao Cheng, I treat you not so badly, why should I stabbing a knife in my back…
