Chapter 567 What to do? (Part 1)
"That tricycle... is so crazy..."
Wright Gudong took two sips of water, and then said to Lin Zheng with an excited look: "Boss, have you seen it? These people are all for our car. God, I have never seen a car that is so popular... Even the latest car launched by Harley will not attract so much attention."
"It seems that I'm right to take this car here," Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, and then asked the two of them: "Waldegard, Wright, how much do you think the upgrade potential of that engine is?"
"this……"
Waldgard and Wright looked at each other and nodded slowly, then said: "Boss, in our opinion, the design idea of this engine is simply the design idea of World War II. If it is improved, the difficulty is not much easier than redesigning an engine."
The two thought the boss might retreat, but to the surprise of Waldgard and Wright, facing this answer, their boss died, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, and he nodded: "Then it's settled, and you will continue to change after you go back."
"Continue to change?" Wright was stunned for a moment, carefully reminding his boss: "But Boss, if we really do this, it may cause some trouble. BMW will not watch us do this without being indifferent."
Wright's words surprised Lin Zheng a little: "Oh? Do you know the relationship between this car and BMW?"
"I asked someone to check the relationship between this car and the BMWR71," Lait nodded: "This car is sold in your country. But if it is sold internationally, I bet BMW will not let us go."
"Don't worry about them," Lin Zheng waved his hand with a smile: "Have you forgotten the patent validity period? Think about how many years have the r71 been now? Think about how many years have our country produced this engine?"
Wright was stunned for a moment. Then he realized that the patent was usually valid for 20 years. BMW company produced the R71 side tricycle during World War II. Now World War II has ended for half a century. No matter how much technology there is on this Yangtze River 750 side tricycle is related to R71, BMW company can no longer talk about this. Realizing this, Waldgard and Wright were both embarrassed: "Sorry, boss, we forgot..."
"It's okay." Lin Zheng said indifferently. But he sighed deeply in his heart: This is the poison of capitalism. Look at these poor children, what are they scared to each other?
However, after realizing that BMW company could no longer do anything to do with itself, Wright immediately became excited: "Boss, don't worry, at most a year..."
"No, you only have half a year." Before Wright finished speaking, Lin Zheng interrupted him without hesitation. "In half a year, I will see a mature and reliable improved engine powertrain appear in front of me."
"God, half a year?!" As for his boss's request, Wright almost bit his tongue. After a while, he said, "Boss, this is impossible..."
"I don't look at the difficulties, I just want the results," Lin Zheng's gaze, which seemed to be a falcon, fixed on Wright again: "Wright, if you can succeed, you will get the sales share of this engine. It doesn't matter if you feel that you are not qualified for this job. I believe that the after-tax share of more than $500,000 per year will allow engine experts to come forward and take on this job."
Although the job of throwing money into people is quite technical, it is undeniable that the effect of throwing money into people is also quite good. When he heard that he could get a share of more than 500,000 US dollars after tax every year, Wright instantly threw what he had just said, and his mouth was trembling as if he was taking off the waist of a dancer in the cafe: "5...500,000 US dollars..."
"If you think this number is relatively large, we can discuss it." Lin Zheng quipped with a smile: "Of course, if you are willing to accept this job, the company can prepare two bmwr80gs and bmwr100gs for you as reference."
Exciting! It's so exciting! What does 500,000 US dollars after tax mean? This is almost equivalent to an annual salary of one million before tax. In the United States, what kind of people are those who can get an annual salary of one million? They are all senior managers of famous large companies, such as CEOs, chief financial officers, chief officials, and other big names. And myself, a car modder, has an annual salary of only about 70,000 US dollars, and there is also a chance to earn one million yuan in annual salary?
It must be admitted that capitalism is still very good at educating the people, that is: as long as there is enough profit, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated!
"No, no! I think this number is very good... very good..." Wright's mind was already a little unable to think normally. Lin Zheng's annual sales commission of $500,000 after tax made all of this guy's mind full of Franklin's flying. In front of these Franklins flying all over the sky, he's going to hell!
Fortunately, this guy still remembers where he was. He resisted the urge to hold his wife's hand and kiss her hard, and patted his chest hard: "Boss, don't worry! I promise you that you will definitely take out the engine that satisfies you within half a year!"
After saying that, he seemed to feel that these words could not express his respect for the boss so much, so he patted his chest hard: "In addition to this, I will continue to develop this engine in depth, from 750cc to 1000cc, from two cylinders to four cylinders... to form a complete sequence!"
Is it necessary to develop a four-cylinder engine with a level opposite? Lin Zheng expressed some doubts about Wright's words, but this is not a problem. The point is that it cannot damage Wright's morale at this moment. He patted Wright's shoulder with relief: "Very good, good, Wright, remember, this engine will be used in our smartcity in the future, so..."
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!" Wright, who was originally a little worried about the market prospects of this engine, suddenly turned red as if he had drunk too much: Since he would install it on smartcity in the future, do you still have to worry about your share?
………………………………………
Looking at Wright, who was already impatiently preparing to do something big, Waldgard was a little envious in his eyes. An annual salary of one million US dollars is a number that can make them crazy for more than 99% of Americans. Even Waldgard, the former WRC world champion, is no exception. As an American, he knows the meaning of this money in the United States.
Looking at Waldegard's reaction, Lin Zheng smiled in his heart: What he wants is your envy and jealousy!
After pondering for a moment, Lin Zheng asked Waldegard directly: "Wardegard, can you do the engine?"
"Engine?" Waldgard was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the boss had just assigned Wright the task of improving the Yangtze River 750 engine, and he actually had to get the engine. But he quickly reacted. As a world-class racer, it would be a big joke if he could not get the engine. He had a vague premonition in his heart and nodded quickly: "Boss, no problem!"
"It's fine," said Lin Zheng very satisfied with Waldgard's answer. What he wants is Waldgard's confidence: "I need to look at the gasoline engine. It doesn't require much power and torque. It's better to be able to reach the average level of performance of the same displacement engine in the world. It doesn't matter if it's even slightly inferior. This engine doesn't need much advanced technology, such as variable valve lift technology, double overhead camshaft technology, variable intake and exhaust technology... It doesn't need it, it's just a simple gasoline engine. The only requirement is that the engine has a simple structure and reliable performance. The simpler the technical requirements for production and processing, the better."
After a slight pause, Lin Zheng simply gave an example, "If you can do it like the 4g63 single overhead camshaft engine used on Mitsubishi lancer, it would be fine."
As a top automotive expert, there is no advanced technology on that engine. It not only uses single overhead camshaft technology, but also uses timing belts when maintenance-free timing chains have begun to be widely used internationally. Even the torque and power of the engine are not medium. But it is undeniable that the 4g63 is a very reliable and durable engine, which even Americans who have always been above the top in automotive technology have to admit.
"I want to reach the level of 4g63..." Waldgard smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Boss, that is impossible. In my opinion, 4g63 has reached the limit of gasoline engine reliability. It may be difficult to surpass 4g63 in terms of reliability and durability."
"That's it..." Lin Zheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked up and stared at Waldgard: "What if we develop an almost identical engine based on 4g63."
Lin Zheng was bitten very hard by the three words "almost".
Waldegard, who had been cooperating with Lin Zheng for a while, naturally understood what his boss meant. His face suddenly turned pale and he said cowardly: "Boss, this is infringement..." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
