Before Chen Geng could speak, Chen Hongjun and Yuan Jia were unhappy, Chen Hongjun's face instantly turned pale, but before Comrade Chen could speak, Yuan Jia slapped his son's head: "What do you want? You don't have anything, all pointing at your brother to give you the bottom?"

"Who said I don't have anything?" Comrade Xiao Chen stiffened his neck: "I'm ready......"

"Ready?" Yuan Jia snorted twice and glanced at his son obliquely: "Let's not talk about the fact that you asked your brother to help you find a way to support your automobile design center first, I'll ask you, since you plan to start a business, you must already have a small team, right? How many people are there in your small team now? What is the division of labor?"

Chen Geng was also a little curious, and turned his head to look at his little cousin: That's right, since you plan to start a business, how many people are interested in starting a business with you?

"There are more than 20 bars...... "The little cousin's tone was a little vague.

How else can it be said that the son is better than the mother, as soon as he heard the tone of this kid's voice, Yuan Jia knew a little bit in his heart, and immediately asked: "There are really more than 20?"

"It's really ......"

"Cheng," Yuan Jia nodded: "Even if there are more than 20, I don't ask you if you can pull in enough business, I just ask you, do you think this person can support an automobile design center?

This question was also what Chen Geng wanted to ask, but he wasn't too embarrassed.

Taking AMC's automobile design center as an example, in addition to the familiar design departments such as exterior and interior, there are also color designers (such as the famous Mazda hybrid red is the credit of color designers), texture designers, material designers, model structure designers, chassis development and commissioning engineers, and exterior designers...... And so on and so forth.

But you think that's the end of it?

In addition to these, a standard automotive design center also has a vehicle safety laboratory, a vehicle and subsystem NVH laboratory, a vehicle fatigue and durability laboratory, an environmental simulation laboratory, a vehicle thermodynamic wind tunnel, a scaled model wind tunnel and a vehicle test site and a series of supporting settings......

And all of this, heaped with money.

In 1997, when Pan Asia was established, the registered capital was 69 million yuan, unit: US dollars, 69 million US dollars in 1997, how much do you say it costs to build an automobile design center?

As soon as he talked about this, the little cousin became more and more unconfident: "I...... I have a few million ...... It's all the ...... I've saved in the past few years" Speaking of this, seeing the unkind eyes of his mother and father, the little cousin hurriedly added: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, the source of this money is absolutely fine, it is all I have saved over the years, and there are some extra money that I have earned hard in my spare time......"

Speaking from the heart, in the current economic environment that has not been opened up in a few years, a young man working in a state-owned unit can earn millions of dollars in just a few years by relying on his own skills, and the personal ability of the little cousin is indeed very good, but obviously, this money is not even a drop in the bucket for an automobile design center.

But in this way, Chen Geng can also figure out the reason why his little cousin came to him: it is indeed very expensive to build such an automobile industry design center, so I can only ask my cousin for help.

Nice, no problem, no problem.

Seeing that Chen Hongjun and Yuan Jia were about to speak, Chen Geng stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, don't be angry, let's be honest, my brother can think of me when he needs help, I'm very happy, really, this is the origin of the family." ”

Yuan Jia is not unreasonable, hearing Chen Geng say this, she is not happy: "Chen Geng, you can think like this, my aunt is very happy, but you can't say that, if this kid really plans to start a business after careful consideration, and everything is prepared to be the same, your uncle and I will definitely support, and it is the support of smashing pots and selling iron, but you listen to what this kid said, do you think this kid has been carefully considered? I think he is just hot-headed, what results can this kind of entrepreneurship have in addition to losing money?"

"Mom, you can't look down on people so much," Chen Geng didn't speak, the object of criticism was unhappy, and the little cousin immediately shouted: "Anyway, I am also the main person in charge of SAIC's design department, and I have studied with AMC Automobile, Broadcom, and Giugiaro, two design masters." ”

"......Shh

Just as all fathers in the world feel that their sons are immature and far behind, Chen Hongjun is no exception, hearing his son say this, Comrade Chen laughed, and said honestly and politely: "If you want to talk about automobile industrial design, can you compare with your cousin?"

“……”

The little cousin was stunned and honestly didn't speak.

His cousin is not only the richest man in the world, but also a recognized top automotive design master in the field of automotive industrial design. Mr. Giugiaro and other world-recognized automobile design masters have publicly admitted in media interviews that their cousin is higher than them in the field of automotive industrial design and modern industrial aesthetics.

"Uncle, listen to me," Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Geng stretched out his hand to stop the angry old Comrade Chen, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about what my brother thinks, in fact, in the past two years, I have also been thinking, whether to build an automobile industry design center in China?"

"Oh?

As soon as they heard Chen Geng say that he was going to build an automobile industry design center in China, Chen Hongjun and Yuan Jia's family of three all pricked up their ears.

Chen Geng did not hide it, said: "In the first half of this year, the total sales of domestic passenger cars have exceeded 600,000, and the total sales of the whole year are expected to exceed 1.2 million, which means that the scale of the Huaxia passenger car market has reached and exceeded 1.2 million, and under normal circumstances, as long as the scale of a market can reach the scale of 800,000 annual sales of various types of vehicles, you can support an automobile industry design center." ”

The little cousin nodded again and again: "That's right, that's it, when I was studying at Broadcom, Mr. Broadcom said the same." ”

"Shut up for me!" Comrade Chen glared at his son angrily, and then turned his head to look at Chen Geng: "Well, Chen Geng, you go on." ”

He can see that his nephew does seem to want to help his son, which is of course a good thing, he has repeatedly stopped this matter, not that he really thinks that his son's ability is not good, but more or not optimistic: if there is no one to support, let alone the problem that your automobile industry design center can't do, even if you really work hard to get up, can you survive in the end?

But now listening to Chen Geng's meaning, it seems that he has already begun to think about this problem, Chen Hongjun began to think, if he, his own cousin and nephew, began to think about this matter, then ...... Maybe this can really be done?

Chen Geng nodded, and then said: "According to the general law, when a country's passenger car market reaches a certain scale, it is necessary to design some localized models that adapt to local consumers according to the country's consumption habits, traffic conditions, laws and regulations, etc., and this requires an automotive industry design center with complete and perfect design and testing methods......

Chen Hongjun was surprised, and he said in disbelief: "You mean, our automobile market in China has reached the point where you big enterprises must design some models for us to meet our special requirements?"

Chen Hongjun can't adapt to such changes: It's only been a few years, not much, just more than ten years ago, the regiment commander can have a 212 jeep that leaks wind and rain everywhere and doesn't even bring a single heating, it's only been more than ten years...... After twelve or thirteen years of hard work, even foreigners have to bend their waists for our five buckets of rice?

As soon as he said this, the little cousin suddenly became proud, with a deterrent expression of "old man, you are old, you can't keep up with the times": "Dad, you have been in the army all the year round, and you don't know how fast our country's economic development is now, now is not a few years ago, or can I think of starting a business?"

Speaking of this, the kid turned his head to look at Chen Geng, asking for support: "Brother, our automobile market will continue to maintain this growth momentum, right?"

"Well," Chen Geng nodded: "I think in 10 years, the scale of the domestic passenger car market can reach about 3 million units." ”

In 10 years, will China be able to sell 3 million cars a year?

Chen Hongjun couldn't believe it, even if it was said by Chen Geng, he couldn't believe it: It's too exaggerated, isn't it? 3 million a year, so many cars, how can it be sold?

Looking at his cousin's appearance, Chen Geng smiled and didn't explain to him, how to explain, tell him that in 20 years, the annual sales of passenger cars in Huaxia can exceed 10 million, and it is even expected to exceed 20 million in the future, becoming the world's largest passenger car consumer market?

If you really say that, then it's not a question of believing it or not, I'm afraid that my cousin will feel that he has lost his mind and gone crazy.

At this time, Chen Geng's effect of not explaining was better, seeing that Chen Geng just smiled and didn't speak, Chen Hongjun himself was weak-hearted: Could it be that the question he asked was so stupid that his cousin simply didn't say it in order to take care of his own face? Well, he is the most professional expert in the industry, it must be like this.

But in this way, Chen Hongjun's train of thought was naturally opened: if this is the case...... Well, the annual sales of 1 million cars can feed an automobile industry design center, and those 3 million vehicles are enough for this automobile design center to eat a mouthful of oil, right?
