“boss......”

Anderson muttered, "If you want to make such a car, the chassis is the foundation of the foundation, but ...... We don't have experience with that......"

Also, for a group of engineers who specialize in car modification, let them develop a chassis for ordinary family cars, as long as the time and funds are in place, maybe it is not a big problem, but it is indeed difficult for them to develop a chassis with such strong performance.

"It's really difficult, very difficult," Chen Geng nodded, and did not deny it: "And as the first car launched by 'Devil's Claw', it is still unknown whether this car can be recognized by consumers, and we make money on this car...... No, not only this car, but also the next few cars we will launch, it is unlikely that they will be able to make money. ”

Anderson's expression became even more bitter, and of course he knew that his boss was right.

As a professional manager, a basic condition to measure whether his ability is excellent is to see how much money he has made for the company, if the company has lost money for several years in a row because of this project...... This is not good news.

But Anderson thought about the situation too well, and Chen Geng's blow to him was not over: "In addition, the engine also needs to be redeveloped. ”

"Do you want to develop a new engine?"

As soon as these words came out, the other management instantly calmed down: just now, they thought that the source of the engine for this car was still directly purchased from Ford, GM and even AMC as before, but the boss meant that he wanted to develop a new engine?!

That's a lot of money!

It's just that the cost is high, so you can grit your teeth and hold on, after all, this is a project that the boss wants to do, and if you really don't have money, you can reach out and ask the boss for money, but ...... Oh time!

The most important thing is time!

If you add in the time to develop such an engine, what year will this sports car be officially launched?

The modification department is different from Chen Geng's other industries, this place is more free, and too rigid regulations are easy to limit the imagination of designers, and because of this, after Chen Geng's words came out, everyone immediately exploded......

"Sir, why don't you just buy the engine? You know, we can only upgrade and modify the engine now, and we don't have the ability to produce our own engine, and if we want to produce a high-performance engine that can be adapted to a supercar, it will cost astronomical money to add equipment alone......

"Sir, let's buy the engine, if you are worried that the supplier will get stuck in our neck when we get bigger, we can purchase the engine from AMC......"

"If you're trying to lose weight, we can customize a ...... from AMC"

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

Everyone's attitude was unprecedentedly unanimous, that is, they opposed Chen Geng's doing.

No wonder their reaction was so fierce, it really took too much time, energy and money to develop an engine, not to mention high-performance sports car engines, even those ordinary engines for the family car market, their research and development process took at least six or seven years, as a car tuning factory, they really don't think it is necessary to develop a new engine.

It's a pity that as the big boss, Chen Geng slapped everyone to death with one sentence: "When I talk to you about this, I don't discuss it with you, but tell everyone that this must be done." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, I don't know what to say: how else can I say it, all the good things have been said, and the boss just can't listen to it.

Chen Geng suddenly smiled: "Please, everyone has a little confidence in me, okay? Why do you think I can't come up with an excellent engine?"

“......”

No one spoke, everyone didn't know what to say, and in the end, everyone's eyes fell on Anderson: Anderson, you are a veteran who started with the boss, you come!

Anderson gritted his teeth: "Uh...... Boss, yes, we all believe in your talent for design, but the engine is ......"

"So that's it," Anderson's words weren't finished, Chen Geng smiled: "It's really hard to make a good engine, but have you forgotten how long it took me to design the engine for the Miata?"

"I ...... I ......"

Anderson suddenly felt the urge to slap himself twice: Why did I forget this?!

Yes, the Miata is only equipped with a 1.8-liter displacement inline four-cylinder engine, but it is such an engine that is more entry-level than the entry-level displacement in the eyes of the Americans, which can push the Miata into 9 seconds and scare off the eyeballs, and how long did it take the boss to come up with this engine?

To the tears of all engine designers and R&D engineers: less than six months from the time the design was presented to the final calibration.

Less than six months!

If the engine engineers of GM, Ford, and Chrysler knew this number, they would probably go crazy!

"So...... Chen Geng spread his hands and said to Anderson: "Since I can successfully develop an engine from scratch in 172 days, why can't I make a better engine in the same time?"

“......”

Anderson was dumbfounded, but he couldn't say a word.

He wants to say that a 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine is not the same thing as a large-displacement V8 engine used in a sports car, but it doesn't need those engine engineers, even a car enthusiast knows that from the structural point of view, in fact, it is completely possible to call the V8 two in-line four-cylinder engines together (in fact, someone really did this, using two Suzuki GSX-1300 engines to spell out a V8), a genius who can make an inline four-cylinder, will not be able to make a V8?!

As for the question of whether a V8 can be made in such a short time...... Developing an in-line four-cylinder engine from scratch in 172 days is itself an extremely unscientific thing.

It's just that when Chen Geng's words came out, the engineer on the side exploded instantly: the big boss said that he had developed the engine on the miata in just 172 days?

It took only 172 days, that is, less than half a year, to develop a reliable and smooth engine from scratch...... Right?

As engineers and technicians recruited by the "devil's claw" later, no one believed that there was such an outrageous thing.

But when they set their eyes on the engineers and senior technicians who had entered the "claw" at the beginning of the "claw", they were stunned to find that these veterans were not disdainful and contemptuous of Mr. Fernandez's bragging, pouting, and pouting, but all of them had a little fanatical light on their faces.

No way?

Is it true?!

As soon as this idea came to their minds, they instantly became calm in their hearts, and felt that their world outlook was about to collapse: This is not scientific! This does not conform to the objective law of the development of affairs!

"Dude, I know this kind of thing is very incomprehensible, in fact, I still don't know how the boss did it, but he just did it, it's so magical," facing the stunned, surprised, and incredulous eyes of the latecomers, the elders patted them on the shoulder, with an expression of "our reaction was as unbelievable as yours at that time": "But you must know that there are always some geniuses in this world who are particularly favored by God, and our boss is obviously the one who is most favored by God." ”

"But...... Isn't the boss a wizard from the East, he doesn't believe in God at all......" The man thought for a long time, and finally said with a snort.

"This ......" Faced with this question, the patriarch had nothing to say, he smiled bitterly and made an excuse for himself: "Hmm...... Maybe God is using this to convert the boss back to his arms......"

Aside from this reason, he really couldn't figure out why God favored the boss so much.

“......”

I still don't believe it!

The engineer who asked the question looked left and right, and was stunned to find that all the patriarchs actually had such expressions, that is, this extremely unbelievable and extremely unsuitable thing for the development of things was actually true?

He had nothing more to say.

Although it is still unbelievable, one truth is obvious: even if someone doesn't even want to slap the boss's ass, it is impossible for everyone to lose face in order to slap the boss's ass.

Chen Geng clapped his hands: "Okay, it's decided, I hope this car can be launched to the market in two to three years." Well...... I'm going to give you a little motivation and passion to work, and I'll show you the renderings. ”

Even the renderings?

I heard that there are renderings, everyone's spirits instantly lifted, although the renderings are like that, there is still a distance of 108,000 miles from the cost, but at least after having the renderings, I know what I finally made, as long as it is beautiful enough, my heart is still comfortable.

Even Anderson, who had just objected vigorously, was full of expectations for this rendering: he had never doubted his boss's talent for car design.

When the rendering was hung on the mobile whiteboard that was urgently pulled over, everyone held their breath: it was so beautiful!

It's so beautiful!

Compared to the sports cars on the market today, the sports car in the renderings is like a precious work of art in a museum, flawless, and it looks so mesmerizing from any angle, more than Ferrari, which claims to be a work of art in cars......

No more!

No more!

It's also high @ tide!

As automotive engineers, they could tell at a glance that the car had the mid-rear-wheel drive layout, which is the favorite of high-performance sports cars in Europe and the United States, oh...... Forget, just now the boss also said to use four-wheel drive, that is, the structure of the mid-mounted four-wheel drive, not only can achieve the front and rear axles 50:50 perfect axle-to-load ratio......

But that's not the point!

The point is that after seeing such a perfect rendering, they who were still trying their best to oppose it before had a completely uncontrollable idea and a strong desire for possessiveness to come up in their hearts: to produce it! It is necessary to produce this car by all means, at all costs and at all costs, and then ...... Lao Tzu must buy one!

This kind of thought is so strong and enthusiastic, it is almost like a man being fed ten or eight powerful aphrodisiac pills, and then after the medicine has taken effect, he puts a peerless beauty in front of him, scratching his head and making gestures as strong and enthusiastic as it, completely from instinct and uncontrollable.

Anderson is no exception!

Looking at the car on the renderings blankly, he suddenly jumped up: "Boss, this car must be made! It must be made! God! This is the most precious gift God has given to the world......

He was even a little incoherent with excitement.
