Chapter 965
Lin Zheng nodded and said, "I can understand.∽↗"
This is not Lin Zheng’s nonsense, he really understands it. Seeing that the restrictions on pickup trucks such as pickup trucks that can carry both manned and cargo are becoming more and more serious, Lao Wei must understand in his heart that if Great Wall wants to grow and grow bigger and stronger in the future, it is definitely not possible to rely on pickup trucks. It must be expanded and filled in the product line. However, the product line cannot be expanded just by expanding it. If you want to fill it, you must be able to fill it. You must be able to spend it in the field you are best at. For Great Wall, there is nothing more suitable than upgrading to make SUV products based on pickup trucks, and it is a hard-core SUV product with a big beam.
But even this idea was not smooth sailing. It took Lao Wei several years from having an idea to truly implementing this idea. It was not until 2000 that he truly put the development of SUV products on the agenda. It was not until 2002 that he actually produced the first SUV product. With Great Wall's technology accumulation in pickup trucks, it also took a span of 4 years.
Lin Zheng could have been quietly a quiet handsome man on the side, but now it is not possible. He has to push Great Wall Motors behind - otherwise who would sell so many engines?
Comrade Lao Wei smiled bitterly and nodded: Lin Zheng has said this to this point, he can't say that he doesn't understand? "Then Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Zheng did not answer, but asked: "Mr. Wei, Tesla's smartcity is selling well in the United States now. Do you know this?"
"I heard something." Comrade Lao Wei nodded, but was a little confused. Lin Zheng suddenly said what he did?
"Maybe Mr. Wei doesn't know that the appearance and interior of the smartcity's forfour version and fortwo version were designed by me personally. I had nothing to do a while ago, so I drew a few exterior and interior pictures of the SUV product. Mr. Wei helped me give me some advice?"
As soon as Lin Zheng said something, Comrade Lao Wei was stunned for a moment!
If he still doesn't understand what Lin Zheng means, he can hit him and die!
The biggest problem of Comrade Lao Wei did not launch the SUV product immediately was not the technical problem, but the design problem. To put it bluntly, how to design a product that looks like a SUV, rather than making people think that this car is a pickup truck with a lid on the car.
But for Great Wall, designing this kind of work is too high. The two pickup trucks sold by Great Wall now are actually learned in reverse based on a Toyota pickup truck. Except for the engine and gearbox that use domestic cheap goods, the chassis structure and body structure have not changed at all. It’s not that Great Wall doesn’t want to change, but that Great Wall does not have the ability.
As the first product of Great Wall Motors entering the SUV, Laowei does not require this car to be so grand, but it must not give people the feeling of an "upgraded" pickup truck. At least it must make people feel: Well. This is a SUV, this is an off-road vehicle!
Where is the most difficult part to do this? There is no doubt that it is the design of exterior and interior! But now Lin Zheng actually told himself that he helped him design the appearance and interior?
Although Lao Wei is a very atheist, he now had a very strong look in his heart: Could it be that some invisible, high-ranking existence threw a piece of pie for himself?
Although he knew that he was not promising to do this, Comrade Lao Wei still said to Lin Zheng shyly: "Mr. Lin. Can I take a look?"
"Of course." Lin Zheng agreed very happily.
Xiaoma quickly handed over Lin Zheng's briefcase and opened it. Lin Zheng took out a few pieces of paper from it and handed it to Lao Wei.
After taking these pieces of paper, Comrade Lao Wei immediately looked greedy.
The first picture is a 45-degree side view on the right side, which can clearly see the front and side structure of the car and the overall feeling of the car. The body of the car in the picture is very tall, with the usual wheels of the stout off-road vehicle and the high flat tires, the thick wheel arches and the thick bumper on the front silently conveying the same message to everyone who sees this car: I am an off-road vehicle!
There are only a few pictures, namely the tail view, interior view, interior and interior structure. The drawings on these sheets of paper are not so much a design drawing, but this is actually more of a taste for Lao Wei. The design drawings mean that you and Great Wall Motors must do it according to this design, but the renderings are different. The renderings give people a feeling. If you think this is good, then do it according to the renderings and strive to achieve the same effect as the renderings.
After reading these pictures almost greedily, Lao Wei couldn't help but sigh: It's really a death-taking person!
To be honest, the cars in these pictures are not perfect enough. Compared with the imported off-road vehicles that can be seen on the market, Lao Wei can find many problems, but for some reason, Lao Wei felt a very magical feeling when he saw these renderings: this is the car he wanted, and this is what the first SUV product in Great Wall should look like.
If Lin Zheng knew Lao Wei’s voice, he would definitely laugh: Can it not be worthy of Lao Wei’s appetite? Doesn’t this look like the first SUV of Great Wall? This is the first SUV of Great Wall after a minor facelift: Safe!
"How is it?" Lin Zheng asked Comrade Lao Wei with a smile.
"I'm convinced, really," Comrade Lao Wei bowed to Lin Zheng. At this time, it was useless to say that everything else was useless. Since his thoughts had been guessed clearly by others, what else can I say? Just admit it honestly. With this idea in my mind, Comrade Lao Wei let it go and said to Lin Zheng: "To be honest, Mr. Lin said that these renderings are really worth my appetite. I wonder if Mr. Lin has the intention to sell this rendering to us?"
After saying that, before Lin Zheng could speak, Comrade Lao Wei said embarrassedly: "I know Mr. Lin, you are not short of money, but this rendering is of great significance to Great Wall Motors. Money is just an attitude, and it really has no other meaning. Please give up your love by Mr. Lin."
Lin Zheng waved his hand. Since Comrade Wei is ready to surrender, when will he wait until he doesn't say it? Lin Zheng said: "I can show these pictures to President Wei. I was originally planning to give these pictures to President Wei. To be honest, these pictures are a stepping stone. I am going to use this stepping stone to cooperate with President Wei."
Lin Zheng said this to this point. Comrade Lao Wei was so envious of the renderings Lin Zheng took out. What else could he say? He could only nod at the moment: "Mr. Lin, you are too polite, please say it."
"That's right, after Great Wall produces SUV products in the future, I hope both of us can cooperate to carry the 2.0l inline four-cylinder gasoline engine we produce..." Seeing that Lao Wei was about to speak, Lin Zheng waved his hand to signal Comrade Lao Wei to listen to himself: "I know Mr. Wei's concern, Shen & Yang Aerospace Tesla has never proved itself in the engine field before, and Dong'an Mitsubishi is about to start production again. Great Wall Motors only needs to wait for two years to have mature and reliable Japanese Mitsubishi power available. In this way, there seems to be no need to take such a big risk to use Shen & Yang Aerospace Tesla's engine, right?"
"Haha..." Comrade Lao Wei smiled awkwardly, as he agreed. He didn't expect Lin Zheng to be so direct.
"I don't tell lies in front of a real person, and I'm dissatisfied with Mr. Wei. The engine of our Shenyang Aerospace Tesla is actually a reverse Mitsubishi 4g63 product. Of course, the reverse level is good and bad. For the same product, the reverse output is more than the original, and there are even worse than the original. In terms of our actual situation in China, it is probably much more likely that it is not as good as the original, right?"
Lin Zheng's words were too direct. Comrade Lao Wei didn't know how to answer for a moment. The worst thing was that he really thought so, so he had to continue laughing awkwardly.
Lin Zheng was not concerned about it. This is the case in China. What can he do? "I can understand Mr. Wei's worries. I'm afraid that even if I tell you that this engine has been retuned and modified by Mr. Jon Waldgard and Mr. Barkas, you will have a question mark in your mind. In order to eliminate Mr. Wei's concerns, I brought Mr. Wei a batch of 10 engines to test the long-lined car. 10 of these 20 engines are original SoHC version of 4g63 from Mitsubishi, and 10 of them are improved 4g63s that we produce ourselves. Mr. Wei has two years to conduct comparison and test. If Mr. Wei thinks that Mitsubishi's ones are more reliable and better than ours, I will say nothing, just pretend that I have never mentioned this proposal. How about it?"
First, the design drawings, and then the words, what else can Comrade Lao Wei say? What else can he say? Lao Wei, who was a little embarrassed on his face, suddenly stood up, his face turned red: "Mr. Lin, it's not that I'm not worried about your products, it's really... Alas! In this way, my old Wei also put the words here today. You Shenyang Aerospace Tesla's engine does not need to be better than Mitsubishi's sohc version 4g63. As long as the performance indicators are not too bad, the reliability is also similar. In the future, you will use your engines for Great Wall!"
As for the price issue, he didn't even mention it!
Well, there is no need to mention it. Unless Lin Zheng is stupid, he will never be able to sell his reverse 4g63 more expensive than Mitsubishi's original 4g63.
"Then you will definitely lose," Lin Zheng smiled happily. "We are seeking to acquire the F1 racing engine supplier Cosworth with the Minardi team. After the acquisition is successful, Cosworth will be allowed to re-tune our self-produced 4g63. Mr. Wei, please wait to use our engine."
