Chapter 441 Art School
Lin Xiangrong was in the office and met with several department heads in the factory. Since Lin Johnson handed him two new models to the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover at the end of last year, Lin Xiangrong began to lead all the technicians and workers in the factory to brainstorm. They increased the number of mechanical equipment and adjusted the production line. In four months, Binqi Second Branch produced and purchased thousands of processing equipment.
During the Spring Festival, Lin Xiangrong was still busy on the production line. He mobilized dozens of the most experienced and smart engineering and technicians and front-line workers who were familiar with processing technology and assembly technology, and in a very short time, he manually produced and assembled ten new cars, five Land Rover Defenders and five Land Rover Range Rover!
The new car was built on February 5th, and many of the more than 700 employees in the factory who were still on holiday came from home to watch. The employees on all lines came, and the factory was crowded with people and gongs and drums and colorful flags. It reached an unprecedented grand occasion. This was the most lively time since the establishment of Binqi Second Branch!
The new car parked at the entrance of the factory office and tried to drive several times on the widest venue between the factory gates. The employees looked at the two models strangely, and everyone commented that the two cars looked tall and domineering and heroic. When they stood in front of them, they felt that the body was huge, and even the tall man did not feel relaxed when climbing up!
Previous people also felt majestic when they looked at the Wrangler Jeep, but compared with the Land Rover Defender and Land Rover Range Rover, the Wrangler suddenly seemed to be much shorter. The Wrangler became even more delicate, and the tall appearance and tough lines of the new car made the whole car look domineering!
In particular, the front face of the Land Rover Defender adopts a rectangular design, which looks more masculine and more popular than the Wrangler's round light curved front face!
The appearance of the Land Rover Range Rover makes people feel bright, and everyone is wondering. It is obviously an off-road vehicle that is installed in a sedan, but it is definitely not like a sedan. But its front face looks very similar to the product of Jetta widening and enlarging. Although it is weird, in short, this square and handsome large-body model is like it!
The two cars that Lin Johnson chose are the most classic designs in the British automotive industry. The Land Rover Defender has been passed down from the 1950s to the present, and the Range Rover has not changed much from the first classic appearance to the third generation. The British do not need the Range Rover to change the appearance, but it just makes it more and more luxurious!
Wearing a suit and a bow tie. With an equally elegant female companion, British gentlemen can drive a Land Rover Range Rover to attend the famous New Year symphony concert. Range Rover is perfectly competent and is not inferior to luxury cars such as the Rolls-Royce Bentley next to it. It is known as one of the most classic designs in British automotive craftsmanship and is also a model in the world's automotive industry!
Lin Johnson pirated the second generation of Range Rover, which was simple and simple, but this Range Rover has got rid of the simple thinking of the first generation and began to wear a gorgeous dress.
Lin Johnson has made it gain a lot in terms of craftsmanship. The manufacturing standards have been greatly improved, so the paint uniformity and neatness of the seams between the covers have basically met the standards of luxury cars, and the sense of grade is clearly visible!
The styling is not too ostentatious, the lines are simple and pleasing, and the neat front face is very charming. The agility of the suspended roof bids farewell to the era when off-road vehicles were too practical and lack of imagination. This car even designed a, b, and c pillars as black or the roof and body are different colors to enhance the visual effect of this suspension.
The larger windows and low waistline make the whole vehicle look classy, and the overlapping engine cover design makes the front more square and wide. The unique e-pillar gives a lot of space to the rear, and the separate tailgate makes the trunk very convenient and not easy to bump. The numerous innovative designs of this car have made the off-road vehicle taste!
In order to avoid off-road performance, both cars adopt front and rear hard shaft non-load-bearing body designs. They have strong off-road body panels, and off-road capabilities are self-evident!
Because the non-load-bearing body has a complete set of steel pipe beams, when it resists the impact of the front, rear and side, whether on the road or off-road section, its passive safety will be higher than that of the load-bearing body with only one iron sheet when fighting against the impact of the front, rear and side.
Among the many urban SUVs 30 years later, the majority of them adopt the same load-bearing body structure as the sedan. However, there are still many off-road enthusiasts who have always followed off-road vehicles that use non-load-bearing bodies. The non-load-bearing body structure has the advantages of high frame strength, good body resistance and good comfort.
In terms of power, Lin Johnson has equipped these two cars with three engines, 25lv6 turbocharged diesel engine and two upgraded v8 gasoline engines, with displacements of 39l and 46l respectively. Among them, the Range Rover equipped with a 46ll v8 engine can reach a maximum speed of 200km/h, and it only takes 93 seconds to accelerate from 100km/h. The transmission has five-speed manual and automatic options.
However, since both cars have all steel bodies, this makes both cars exceed their weight of 2 tons, reaching or approaching a weight of 3 tons. Such a heavy body makes the driver and passenger feel a sense of power slow when driving, especially when cornering, it seems that the entire body is thrown out!
This may be the only thing that makes Lin Johnson unsatisfied. This is a luxurious version similar to his previous life that has been modified and upgraded according to his vision. It is naturally much heavier than the original British car! Moreover, the domestic design and manufacturing level is not as good as that of the British, and the structural redundancy is also higher, which adds weight to the body!
But no matter what, although the employees of Bin Auto Factory No. 2 do not understand what SUV is and what sport utility vehicle is, they and the factory leaders understood after seeing the two real cars that these two new cars can definitely be welcomed by the Chinese automobile market with such a good-looking appearance. Even they liked the two new cars, and it was not long since they sold them!
Recently, Lin Xiangrong has been busy preparing for the production of new models. Contacting and mobilizing parts factories and cooperative manufacturers under Binqi Group has become the most important task now.
Their second automobile branch is somewhat different from the general factory. The total factory has a huge production base with more than 60,000 employees! It has a large-scale and complete system automobile industry base, and can almost produce a complete set of spare parts products for the entire vehicle.
Moreover, these manufacturers are almost all companies established jointly with Dongxing Company. Some are Binqi Group and Dongxing account for 50% of the shares, some are new factories established by other enterprises in the city, and Dongxing still accounts for 50% of the shares. The administration of these companies belongs to state-owned enterprises, and most of the products quality production and operation are responsible for Dongxing.
The second automobile branch factory has a small number of people, and the factory is not large in scale. It has a production workshop with an annual output of 5,000 engines; a production line with an annual output of 6,000 vehicles, including stamping workshops, welding workshops, coating workshops, and assembly workshops; there are also several other spare parts production factories, and a large special vehicle modification factory. In fact, this is a car assembly factory that is very common in the past life. The spare parts factory produces accessories and transports them here for assembly inspection to complete the assembly of the vehicle.
The door was open. After Lin Johnson knocked on the door, he walked into his father's office and happened to see Chen Yao standing aside and sticking out his tongue at him, while his father was still listening to his subordinates' reports.
Lin Johnson waited for a while, and saw that his father had finished his work and waved his hands, everyone came out, and some even greeted Lin Johnson and returned the gift with a smile. He was very polite to his colleagues and subordinates in his father's unit, which also gave Lin Johnson a good reputation in Binqi Group!
"Dad, the two models are about to be produced?" Lin Johnson asked his father with a smile.
Lin Xiangrong closed the notes and said happily: "Yes, the accessories factories under the group have started processing according to the new requirements. The spare parts of the new model can be supplied in a week. Our factory soon has two new models!"
Lin Johnson shook his head and said, "It's not two new models, but one more brand called Land Rover!"
"Yes, it's Land Rover!" Lin Xiangrong nodded happily and said. Lin Johnson had told him this before, and Lao Lin and others were not used to the name of this brand.
He looked at Lin Johnson and Chen Yao and asked, "What's wrong with you two? We're here together!"
"Dad Lin, I think." Chen Yao said to Lin Xiangrong carefully. She looked at Lin Johnson beside her and hid behind him. She grabbed his arm and shook it, and said in a low voice: "Johnson, please tell me, I dare not!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said to his father: "Dad, I want Chen Yao to run an art school or something, teach dance and music. Do you want her to have a job off salary, right?"
Lin Xiangrong suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Lin Johnson, then looked at Chen Yao, who was hiding behind Lin Johnson, and asked: "Xiao Yao is doing well here, why do you think about letting her run a school? Besides, can the school be done just by saying that it can be done? What should I do if I can't recruit people?"
Lin Qiangsheng pulled Chen Yao up and said to his father, "Dad, Chen Yao always talks a little bit about her when working in the factory, so just let her come out and do what she likes happily!"
Lin Xiangrong looked at Chen Yao, and he sighed and advised: "Oh, there are inevitably conflicts in the factory, so there is no need to stop paying and staying at work!"
Chen Yao said to Lin Xiangrong: "Dad Lin, I want to dance. I have always dreamed of being a dancer! Although dancers can't be done now, Johnson and Johnson gave me a chance. I can run a school and teach others how to dance. I feel that this is great, so let me go!"
Looking at Chen Yao's extremely firm eyes, Lin Xiangrong finally smiled. He nodded slowly and said, "Oh, girl, I promise you! But you have to tell your parents about it. I have a position for you here. If you want to come back in the future, you will come back!"
Chen Yao smiled big, she glanced at Lin Johnson and turned to Lin Xiangrong and said, "That's great, thank you! I'll go back and tell my parents that they will agree!" (To be continued.)
