Chapter 053: Experiment

Skoda was bought by Volkswagen and became a family.

However, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, are all the same, and the bought Skoda has never been able to fully integrate into the Volkswagen Group, but is like an outsider.

Skoda was able to use Volkswagen's technology, such as Volkswagen's body laser welding, hot-stamping steel, one-piece stamp-formed door technology, etc., and even Volkswagen's newly developed platform technology was first used by Skoda.

However, it is not the public who looks at Skoda, but purely treats it as an experiment.

The new technology must be used for a long time to ensure stability, if you want to find a guinea pig to do experiments, take Skoda to test the waters, in case something goes wrong, there is no impact on the Volkswagen brand, even if Skoda is killed by an immature technology, the Volkswagen Group will not break the bones.

For example, the Skoda Supai launched in 2015 is Volkswagen's first mid-level car based on the latest MQB platform in China, especially the EA888 third-generation engine used in the top model of Skoda Supai, with a lot of improvement in power, fuel consumption and emissions.

At that time, Volkswagen's own sons Magotan and Passat did not have this treatment, and they still used the old second-generation EA888 engine and the previous generation B7 platform.

The reason why Volkswagen uses the new technology on the outsider Skoda, rather than its own sons Magotan and Passat, is because Volkswagen needs to verify the reliability of the new technology and uses Skoda as an experimental product.

The owners of the Skoda Express, while experiencing a high-tech and new technology, also became a guinea pig without knowing it.

"So, Skoda's car can't be bought?" Liu Liang was frightened by Fang Yuan's words, and asked with palpitations.

"It can't be said that there is not much difference between the actual quality control of Skoda and Volkswagen. Fang Yuan explained that although Skoda is a test field for Volkswagen, after all, it was also bought by Volkswagen with real money.

We can't be like the serfs in ancient Europe, who said they would be killed, and if they said they didn't want to, they wouldn't.

Before using Skoda as a guinea pig, Volkswagen will also verify the reliability of new technologies and new equipment, otherwise Skoda will not be alive until now.

As for Fang Yuan, the actual quality control gap between Skoda and Volkswagen is not large, because the production lines used by Skoda and Volkswagen, and even the front-line workers and inspectors are the same people.

For example, Skoda Octavia and SAIC Volkswagen's Lingdu and Tourang models are all produced and assembled on the same production line at Volkswagen's Ningbo plant.

The same platform, the same production equipment, the same three major parts of the car, seventy or eighty percent of the spare parts are universal, and the front-line production workers and inspection technicians are also the same people.

Spare parts and Volkswagen are universal, and the supply of supporting manufacturers is large, and Volkswagen can control costs fiercely.

Volkswagen's cost control is good, and Skoda follows the light, also because Skoda's sales are not as good as Volkswagen's, and its reputation is not as popular as Volkswagen's, and the price of its original parts is cheaper than Volkswagen's.

For example, the lower swing arm assembly of Sutar and Octavia is exactly the same assembly, the price of Volkswagen's original parts is less than 2,000, and Skoda's 4S store only needs less than 700, and the difference is not half a point.

Therefore, in addition to the interior materials and workmanship of Skoda is not as good as Volkswagen, the product quality is similar to Volkswagen, the configuration is higher than Volkswagen, and the maintenance is more advantageous.

"Yes, Fang Yuan is right. Sun Yanming nodded in agreement with Fang Yuan's opinion, and added, "Skoda's models, although they are not popular in the market, but the price is low, and some people still deliberately come to find them, not like Luxgen Big 7, car dealers dare not accept it, and customers dare not buy it." ”

......

Sun Yanming sent the three of them home, and specially instructed Fang Yuan not to go to work at the car dealership tomorrow, just go directly to the headquarters of Zhenghong Group at nine o'clock.

Fang Yuan returned home and lay on the bed after washing, his stomach was a little uncomfortable, but he was still awake.

Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, what Manager Sun said kept flipping in his mind, and he felt that what Manager Sun said was very right.

Now that I have a car dealer system, I don't have to worry about my grades, but if I have good grades, I can be promoted and raised smoothly, and I can buy a house in Haihai City?

A society that follows the law of the jungle is not a simple school, as long as the students have good grades, everything is OK, and flowers and praise will automatically follow.

There are too many constraints in a cruel society, and Manager Sun is the best example.

He is a veteran employee of Zhenghong Group, and because he can't express himself, he ends up spending a lifetime in a second-hand car dealership.

No one appreciates it, no one is his own Bole, even if it is a thousand miles of horses, he will die in the stable.

If you want to get in and out, all you need is an opportunity.

But the opportunity is to be won by yourself, and pie will not fall from the sky, and pie will not fall into your mouth.

So in the face of tomorrow's opportunity for Manager Sun to fight for himself, Fang Yuan wants to work hard to seize it, and he has to fight hard no matter what.

In order to fight for a future for himself, Fang Yuan was ruthless, wouldn't he just drink tomorrow? Either drink himself to death, or drink others down.

I fell asleep like this in a groggy state, but the long-term biological clock made Fang Yuan wake up automatically at six o'clock in the morning.

In the public bathroom, Liu Liang, who was brushing his teeth, saw Fang Yuan, who walked in with a basin, and his eyes widened in surprise: "You don't have to go to work today, why do you get up so early?"

"I was a little nervous, I couldn't sleep. Fang Yuan told the truth, lazily put down the basin, took out toothpaste and toothbrush, and prepared to brush his teeth.

Liu Liang, who was foaming at the mouth, stopped brushing his teeth, turned around and stared at Fang Yuan, and said softly: "Brother, today is your best chance, as long as you can make Mr. Zhao remember you, with your performance, there will always be a day when you will get ahead." ”

Looking at Liu Liang's solemn face, which was diametrically opposed to the previous appearance of giggling and not having a proper shape, Fang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Well, I know, I will seize the opportunity." ”

"Come on bro. Liu Liang hit his shoulder with his arm and smiled, "As long as you can make a good impression in front of Mr. Zhao today, the Long March will be regarded as the most important step." ”

Unlike Fang Yuan, who didn't have to go to work today, Liu Liang still had to take the bus to the car dealership, he hurriedly washed up, said hello to Fang Yuan, and ran away in a hurry.

After Fang Yuan finished washing, he took a bath in the public bathhouse again, and then returned to his cabin.

Sun Yanming told Fang Yuan to pay attention to his clothes, Fang Yuan didn't even have a meal some time ago, how could he have the money to buy new clothes?

found a relatively new set of overalls from the cardboard box and put them on, looking at his face in the small mirror, Fang Yuan secretly swore that he would not take the initiative to hurt others, but if anyone wanted to stand in his way, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Fang Yuan calculated that it would be an hour's journey from his home to the headquarters of Zhenghong Group by bus.

The meeting started at nine o'clock, and Fang Yuan went out at seven o'clock wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

It took fifteen minutes to eat breakfast, and it took half past seven to get on the bus, and when I arrived at the gate of Zhenghong Group for more than an hour, it was exactly eight thirty-five.

"The timing was just right. Fang Yuan looked at the parking lot at the entrance of Zhenghong Group, and all kinds of vehicles kept coming quickly, and many men dressed the same as himself walked towards the gate of Zhenghong Group.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his nervous mood, and was about to walk over with the flow of people, when he suddenly heard a happy voice, as if he was shouting to himself.

"Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan. ”

Fang Yuan turned his head to see that it was Sun Yanming standing next to his Octavia station wagon, waving to him.

Fang Yuan walked over quickly and said enthusiastically, "Manager Sun, you came so early?"

"I'm here early, waiting for you. Sun Yanming mysteriously hooked his hand at Fang Yuan and asked him to look at the passenger seat in the car.

On the floor in front of the passenger seat was a silver insulated bucket, as well as a tote bag, which also seemed to have something inside.

"I'll give you beef stew, two bags of glucose to buy. Sun Yanming said to Fang Yuan, "Before going to the hotel for dinner, come to the parking lot and eat before leaving." ”
