Chapter 375 The decisive two models
However, when the Automobile Corporation selected negotiators and cataloged the details of negotiations, everyone was busy and suddenly heard from Bincheng that even more shockingly. Dongxing's chairman Lin Johnson suddenly went to the United States, and the venue for the negotiations and negotiations was also selected in Los Angeles, USA.
Automobile Corporation had to contact Lin Johnson directly, and he said that the LS Automobile Design Institute, located near the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, is his company's automotive technology research and development base. If you want to choose a car model in China, you should learn about the latest technology and go directly here to go!
Hearing this answer, the leaders of the Automobile Corporation could not help but nodded. Indeed, domestic automobile research is still in its infancy. What can I find in China? If you want to truly understand the world's leading technology, you have to go to the home court of foreigners!
It just so happened that everyone was negotiating and observing the automotive research institute to understand how foreigners carried out automobile development. Although they may not understand the essence, it is also good to look at foreign automobile research equipment. Maybe they can also talk about the introduction of research equipment, which is also a high-tech!
Yao Bin and some people also thought that the domestic automobile industry has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the development of foreign automobile technology has also become increasingly advanced. I want to keep up with the pace of the world, but domestic automobile research units lack experimental equipment. The Automobile Corporation has also formulated some research equipment introduction projects based on this situation. This time, while visiting the ls automobile research institute, he took the opportunity to observe the situation of foreign research institutes. Through this observation, it will definitely bring many benefits to future introduction work.
The country is actively planning and selecting elites to sort out their overseas travel matters, while Lin Johnson is racing against time to create alternative models within the ls Automobile Research Institute. The two models he came out must be sampled before the domestic negotiation team comes to the United States!
There is not much time left for Lin Johnson. Li Gang of the Automobile Corporation said that several domestic factories will also send people to the headquarters. After reporting the list of personnel, the institute issued an invitation letter and the procedures for going abroad will be completed within half a month, leaving only nearly 20 days of manufacturing time for Lin Johnson!
Just as Lin Qiang-John always did, plagiarism is the kingly way, and he has never overestimated himself to surpass the classic models that have appeared in history.
With less time, Lin Johnson quickly summoned manpower. The current LS Automotive Research Institute is strong and powerful. It is no longer a small team of only seven or eight foreign technicians leading some young technicians in the past two years. Now it has become a large research institution with more than 40 engineers of various types and more than 200 technical workers. It is already a research enterprise with advanced technology and complete facilities!
It is worth noting that nearly half of this research company are real Chinese people who have been transferred from China over the past two years. These people are mainly front-line workers selected from several Lin Johnson's factories.
After a long period of observation, Lin Johnson finally found that it was the people who came out of his factory that were more reliable. These people themselves worked in his company for a long time and cared more about the collective, and felt more belonging, and more emotional!
Those who have been recruited from the United States and China are better off from China, but they do not agree with domestic companies, and loyalty still needs to be slowly cultivated. The Chinese people recruited from the United States are really rarely integrated into this group. Although everyone looks like a Chinese, they rarely communicate with people from China in Chinese after two generations, and these people also strangely show the emotions of conflict and exclusion with the people of the country. Their attitude towards the people of the country is even whiter than white!
Lin Qiangsheng found it very boring. These people have more thoughts and are also problematic in their attitude towards their compatriots in China. No matter in terms of management and loyalty, they have no advantage over those transferred from China. After knowing these people, he gave up his expectations for them and just treated them as ordinary employees.
In contrast, even if the procedures are more complicated and longer, it is more worth looking forward to training them in the long run!
The institute has been fully in charge of the automotive electronics engineer Codinan. This Italian has not only been exposed to high-end models such as Porsche and Mercedes-Benz. He has also been in the Lamborghini factory for a while. Lin Johnson believes that Italians have a kind of idea and cell that pursues excellence, so the Institute of Automotive was finally handed over to Codinan to take charge.
In the field of automotive design, Italians and Germans are both relatively famous. Lin Johnson of course hopes that the ls Automotive Research Institute can achieve its own glory. Although he does not have a master like Georgiaro, an Italian design company, it is not impossible to take a long-term development and accumulation of strength.
In order to simplify work and save time, engineers gave up using sludge molds. The appearance of the new car is directly processed with large-scale precision cutting, and directly drilled and drilled on the steel plate to cut and mill. The only time-consuming thing is the size layout design of each component of the early model.
In order to seize the time, Lin Johnson began to draw various views of the appearance of the two cars according to his memory. He switched around in Beijing and then took another 15-hour passenger plane to the United States. After he arrived in the United States, the appearance accessories of the two cars were almost the same.
Afterwards, he handed over the design to the graphic design team of the Automobile Research Institute, and fine-tuned the length, width and wheelbase of the car's appearance in the computer. Then the project was divided into several small project teams to promote it together. The spare parts layout group, electronics group, chassis group, power system group, and interior design group.
The two cars that Lin Johnson took out use the same chassis platform, which are the two famous models derived from the Volkswagen PQ45 platform, Audi A6 and Passat B5!
The a6 and Passat belong to the same B5 model. Except for the different torque, drill rods, ingot beams, steel ring sizes, interior and appearance, the engine, support arms, three-way catalysis, and chassis structure are exactly the same. Park the two engines of the same level together and after opening the hood, you will see that everything is the same. There is no distinction. Because the two cars belong to the b5-pq45 platform, they have the same chassis, and many spare parts are universal.
That’s right, what Lin Johnson wants to copy is these two models that are called magic cars in the domestic market. At the same time, they are two decisive works that established Audi and Volkswagen’s dominance in the Chinese automobile market!
With these two uncrowned king-level magic cars, Lin Johnson believes that the negotiation team from China will be satisfied. No matter how advanced the test model they have seen before, as long as they see these two magic cars, Lin Johnson believes that they will definitely be interested in the unique appearance of the a6 and b5.
Although these two cars are early models, the trunk of the old A6 version is similar to that of the Passat, its sleek front cover and ceiling are absolutely classic designs, while the old B5 has a more atmospheric appearance. Although the 1983-year process technology does not reach the level of 2000, for example, the headlights of the two cars are ordinary combination headlights like Audi 100, which cost them a lot of points, but these two models can be said to be absolutely in line with the Chinese appreciation standards and tastes of cars!
The development time limit is very tight, so many components of the car body are "borrowed" from other existing models. After designing and formulating the spare parts layout, the engineers immediately used ug software to cooperate with the cad plan for processing and preparation, and the plan was entered into the program. The initial appearance work was completed in four days under the urging of Lin Johnson.
The UG software is just a prototype. It is a product sold by Unitechscad/cae/cam system developer - Unitedputer. In use, ug engineers will build a system platform according to the unique requirements of customers. Of course, as long as you have money, ug people can be stationed in the research institute.
There is a set of small automobile processing equipment in the research institute. Each automobile design company has its own factory. After inputting data to match the working environment, a large galvanized soft steel plate was stamped and the car shell blank was transmitted from the other end. This is the A6 model, and the engineer immediately selected another model model, and the other b5 shell blank was quickly stamped out.
The engineers directly carried the car shell and put the welding line on it and began to make the white body.
Codinan is no longer surprised by such high-yield high-speed design models as Lin Johnson. He just feels a little regretful that Lin Johnson's talented car designer is from China, which has no industrial design background. If Lin Johnson was an Italian, he would have been famous in the automotive industry for a long time. What every car designer dreams of is that only in this way can he receive invitations from famous car manufacturers to participate in the design of new cars. Lin Johnson's low-key behavior after designing a car made Codinan puzzled.
Just like now, two epoch-making models have been designed and manufactured in less than ten days, but Lin Johnson said that these two cars were prepared for the Chinese inspection team and were produced in cooperation with China!
"Why?" Codinan shouted, staring at Lin Johnson's office with deep eyes unique to Italians. The two had a dispute over whether to attend the Geneva Motor Show in March to exhibit the two cars.
"There is no reason why Kodinan is for joint ventures with Chinese auto companies. I don't think their appearance can be loved by the European and American auto markets. Their Chinese style is too strong! Moreover, these two cars are too sleek compared to the current models. I think it is difficult for the market to accept such changes. Moreover, we are an unfamous car company and do not have the conditions to be accepted by car consumers! The launch of new models by large auto manufacturers is leading the times, while small manufacturers are trying to overestimate their ability to launch models with different design styles in the market!" Lin Johnson said with his hands spreading. (To be continued.)
