Looking at the 1:1 full-size clay model in front of him, which looked no different from the real car, Henry Ford's eyes lit up!

"That's right, that's what I want," Henry Ford said, holding back the feeling that his saliva was about to run, and he looked at Chen Geng's work almost on the clay model in front of him, and praised it: "Perfect! Fernandez, I can't think of anything else to describe this work other than the word perfect...... It lives up to the name 'Victoria Crown', it's Ford's new crown!"

Both the shape and the name "Victoria Crown" pleased Henry Ford to the extreme, and he nodded heavily: "That's it! In my eyes, it's the Venus of Ford, and I can't find the slightest thing to change it — no! I'm not allowed anyone to alter her in the slightest." ”

Waving his arms vigorously, Henry Ford's expression was very determined.

Although this was Henry Ford's first meeting with Victoria's crown, it was at this first glance that Henry Ford felt that he had a wonderful chemistry with the car in front of him, he felt that this car was a product of Ford at some time in the future, and now, with the help of Chen Geng's magical hand, Ford traveled through time and space in history and brought this car to himself - he loved this feeling to death.

The customer was satisfied, and of course Chen Geng was also very happy, but he still smiled and said, "Why don't you look at the cockpit?"

"Ahh ”

The cockpit certainly didn't disappoint Henry Ford either.

It is said that it is a wooden 1:1 full-scale model, but in fact it is not a wooden shell as imagined, but the internal support structure of the cockpit is made of wood, but as far as the eye can see, the large parts such as the seats, center console, and steering wheel, as small as a knob, and a ceiling light are as close as possible to the appearance of a real production car.

For example, the center console in front of you is made by the designers and engineers of Ford Motor Design Institute according to the data and parameters given by Chen Geng, directly 1:1 inverted mold, the touch is extremely real, not only that, but every button on it, including the knob of the light, various levers on the steering wheel, and the gear shift lever for shifting...... and other small parts, all of which can be moved.

Although the time was in a hurry and there was no way to make the kind of damping feeling that Chen Geng wanted, but even so, it gave Henry Ford a huge surprise, through the 1:1 full-size clay model just now and the 1:1 full-size wooden cockpit model in front of him, he had clearly established the appearance of this Victoria Crown after mass production, and then gave a judgment on the sales of this car after it was launched: This car, it is unreasonable not to sell well after it is listed!

"How is it?" Looking at Henry Ford, who couldn't close his mouth with a smile, Chen Gengxiao asked, "Are you still satisfied?"

"Satisfied, so satisfied that I couldn't be more satisfied," Facing the design that Chen Geng took out that made him unable to find fault with it, Henry Ford nodded again and again, and smiled from ear to ear: "That's it, Mr. Fernandez, happy cooperation." ”

In Henry Ford's opinion, Chen Geng's design is so perfect, he can't find anything that can be modified, since it is so perfect, then what are you hesitating about?

Henry Ford Miguchi pointed out that the interior and exterior styling of the Ford Victoria Crown was completely determined, and it was completely in accordance with Chen Geng's design, without any modifications, in other words, Fernandez Company was waiting to make money.

In response to the decision of his chairman, the chief designer of Ford Motors, who accompanied Henry Ford, opened his mouth, and then honestly closed his mouth.

It's not that he doesn't want to say something, as the chief designer of Ford Motor, if he can't point out a few deficiencies in Chen Geng's design, wouldn't he seem to be very incompetent? But after taking a closer look at these two full-scale models, he was extremely depressed and found that he couldn't find anything to modify at all. Lose one point too thin, if you pick a bone in the egg, you may be scolded by Fernandez with blood on his face, don't you see that your boss doesn't like Fernandez's design much?

Chen Geng also breathed a sigh of relief, held Henry Ford's outstretched hand, nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your appreciation, happy cooperation." ”

Knowing that Henry Ford could only stay here for an hour, Chen Geng thought that Henry Ford should leave next, but to Chen Geng's surprise, Henry Ford did not mean to leave, but made a gesture to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, talk about the automatic transmission?"

Let's talk about automatic transmission......

I thought that before this, Rosemary had sent an official letter to Ford Motor on behalf of Fernandez Company to purchase automatic transmission technology and obtain patent authorization, but Ford Motor has not given a clear reply, only saying that it needs to be carefully considered, and now Henry Ford suddenly heard about it, could it be ......

Chen Geng's heart thumped, but he nodded and said, "Okay, so Mr. Ford agrees that the technology and patent of the automatic transmission will be sold to us?"

Henry Fudt nodded and asked, "Which structure are you going to introduce?"

AT automatic transmission is also known as planetary gear gearbox, since it is called planetary gear gearbox, as the name suggests, its core hardware structure is a set of planetary gear set similar to the solar system structure, with a central sun wheel and star wheel, the planetary gear set of this gearbox has two most typical structures, namely Ford's transmission engineer Mr. Howard Simpson proposed the "Simpson planetary gear system" and Mr. Lavennell proposed the "Ravenel planetary gear system", these two planetary gear set structures are the most typical, The most classic AT automatic transmission planetary gear set structure, later 4AT, 5AT, 6AT, 7AT...... Even 11AT was developed based on these two basic structures.

Chen Geng knew the advantages and disadvantages of these two structures clearly, and when he heard this, he did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Just the Simpson structure." ”

"Okay, how about the Simpson structure, all the technology and patent licensing, a total of $6 million?" Henry Ford asked Chen Geng.

"$6 million?" Chen Geng was surprised.

He was not surprised that the price was too high, but that it was too low, even lower than the price at the time of Ford's transfer of automatic transmission technology and patents to Toyota, and that Henry Ford did not seem to have any intention of putting any other strings attached, not even a restriction such as "no competition with Ford."

Henry Ford enjoyed Chen Geng's surprise and said with a smile: "We are friends, and I also hope that in the years to come, we can have more cooperation." ”

I see!

Henry Ford has already made it so clear, Chen Geng still doesn't understand why Ford Motor would offer himself such a preferential price without any strings attached, because this is simply a super friendly price.

As for why Henry Ford offered Chen Geng a super friendship price, Henry Ford also made it very clear: he values Chen Geng's talent in car design very much, and hopes to continue to maintain this cooperative relationship with Chen Geng in the future.

Will Chen Geng refuse?

Of course not.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Geng immediately smiled: "It seems that I am very lucky to have found a big thick leg." ”

Henry Ford also smiled very happily: with the joining of Chen Geng, a powerful designer, Ford finally has the opportunity to get rid of the embarrassing situation of being the second millennium.

........................

The two chatted very well, including allowing Giugiaro to take a look at the two models, and Henry Ford agreed, but when he was about to get into the car, Henry Ford suddenly talked to Chen Geng about something......

"Fernandez, I heard you're having some trouble with your business in Indiana?"

Chen Geng narrowed his eyes, a little surprised how Henry Ford would know about this.

Of course, if Ford had a heart, it would certainly be impossible to hide this from them, but for a behemoth like Ford, the fact that Fernandez's business expansion in Indiana was blocked was really a small thing, and it was impossible to attract their interest, right?

Surprise to surprise, Chen Geng still nodded: "Well, it's a little troublesome." ”

"As far as I know, it seems to have something to do with Chrysler. With that, Henry Ford turned around and got into the car.

Seeing the back of Henry Ford's team, Chen Geng's eyes narrowed: I really didn't expect it, it was Chrysler who was making trouble behind his back?

Surprised?

At first glance, I was a little surprised, but when I think about it, it makes sense, if it is Chrysler...... Or simply say that Lee Iacocca is behind the ghost, then everything can be explained, except that a behemoth of Chrysler's level is secretly stumbling on himself, so he can explain why it has been so long, and he can't even investigate who is behind the scenes, for an existence of Chrysler's level, as long as they don't want to know that they are hiding behind the scenes to manipulate all this, they must be sure that they don't know.
