Zhongyuan Automobile Group Co., Ltd.'s previous research and development on the seat was mainly focused on ergonomics to help drivers eliminate fatigue to the greatest extent, but the health technology research and development department of Jaguar Land Rover mainly focused on motion sickness research and development technology, so Li Jianfeng was also inspired, and also hoped to expand the research and development of Jaguar Land Rover's technical department to the intelligent seat technology system, which was also incorporated into the autonomous driving technology system.

Yang Jie also agrees with Li Jianfeng's idea, strengthening the degree of technology sharing between Jaguar Land Rover's subsidiaries and the parent company is a trend, because the autonomous driving system is a very complex system, and it is also very expensive, if the parent company and the subsidiary are engaged in their own technology research and development, it will inevitably produce a waste of research and development costs.

Meixihu University under Huaxing Group and Huaxing Biomedical Company and Huaxing Communication Equipment Company are also developing wearable health monitoring systems, and Zhongyuan Automobile Group is also developing wearable devices used in car users on the basis of these technology patents, and now it is very reasonable to unify its own seat research and development technology department with the technical department of Jaguar Land Rover, and incorporate it into the two major research and development projects of autonomous driving and vehicle Internet of Things, after all, research and development is more efficient.

This Jaguar Land Rover health technology department also has a research and development project that makes Yang Jie very interested, that is, the impact of the smell in the car on motion sickness, this technical department has conducted a lot of research on the smell of leather materials and other materials of the seat, and there are some results, one of which is that the material selection of the seat is specially carefully selected to help the air quality in the car, and the leather material used is specially let the leather supplier develop a special environmentally friendly leather for himself, and the smell emitted has a certain effect on improving motion sickness。

The company that supplies Jaguar Land Rover with this special leather is Scotland's most famous and longest-standing leather producer.

Founded in 1905 and a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation, the tanner's seventh generation runs the company, which specializes in the production of leather for car seats.

Yang Jie also noticed the leather made by this company

The 2017 Lincoln seat is made of unembossed, 100% natural raw leather from Scottish Weir Bridge Company, which completely retains the natural texture of the leather, which is very comfortable to the touch and the color presented is also very beautiful.

The leather used in the luxury cars produced by Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company was mainly purchased from several well-known leather suppliers, mainly the Langde Group of Eagle Sauce and a company in Italy, but the leather purchased back was obviously not as good as the leather made by this company, and there was obviously some residual smell of chemicals, and it still needed to be processed after purchasing.

Although domestic manufacturers also produce some high-end leather, but because the raw cowhide purchased is from a variety of sources, the quality is not very stable, so Zhongyuan Automobile Group did not purchase.

The leather provided by Yanqiao Company to Jaguar Land Rover does not have this problem, which makes Yang Jie very interested in this company, so he asked Jaguar Land Rover to contact this manufacturer.

The company welcomed the company's request to visit the plant from the Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company.

The next day, Yang Jie and others flew to Glasgow's international airport by private jet, and then met with the company's seventh-generation family heirs.

Yang Jie did not reveal his identity, and the person in charge of contacting this company was the person in charge of Jaguar Land Rover and Zhongyuan Automobile Group Company, and he was more like Bai Bing and Song Manli and others who came to play.

From beginning to end, the family heir of Yanqiao Company only knew what the surnames of these Orientals were, but their identities were unknown, and the person in charge of Jaguar Land Rover had a very respectful attitude towards them, which made him also confused.

This company is on the outskirts of the city, the drive is not very far, the location of this company is between the green mountains and green waters, the factory is not very large, for more than 100 years has been here to concentrate on the production and manufacture of leather, not to seek big, only to refine, the production of leather is only for luxury cars, Jaguar Land Rover and BMW Group and some luxury cars of the Fuord Group are made of this company's leather.

There is a saying in the leather industry that "gold in the water" is very vivid, because the processing of leather production is carried out in water, a lot of leather chemical raw materials have to be added to the water, this company uses good Scottish water for the production of whisky, Yang Jie also noticed that this company has a sewage and waste gas treatment system, and even a thermal power plant, the equipment used in the factory is very advanced equipment and new technology, which makes the company's production more refined.

The family heirs of this company also generously took everyone to visit the factory polishing, fattening, dyeing, cleaning, drying, softening, anti-staining, finishing, embossing and other processes.

In the finished product workshop, the family heir Mandelson proudly shows off the leather produced: "Look, every skin we produce is numbered, because the raw skins we buy come from only the surrounding farms, and we only select bulls without stretch marks, and the whole process can be traced. ”

"And our family has been developing leather for more than 100 years, and our toning technology is the best it can be, the color is very natural, and there are no chemicals or heavy metals left in the leather. ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Mandelson, I heard that you operate your own thermal power plant, can we take a tour?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Our company's goal is to have zero carbon emissions, so we have built our own thermal power plant, where the waste generated by the factory can be converted directly into heat, which can then be used to heat the recycled water in the tanning process," says Mandelson with a smile. ”

Many people blame the leather industry for polluting the environment, and the Yanqiao Company has built its own thermal power plant to burn waste such as oily fur from purchased skins.

Yang Jie also noticed that the company processes the nearly 90 pounds of leather each, and when the tanning is completed, the finished leather weighs about 9 pounds, and the remaining 81 kilograms of grease and leftover materials are used by the thermal power plant to provide electricity and steam to the factory.

The factory is indeed very environmentally friendly, and the company is also vigorously exploring chrome-free tanning technology, which is also an important reason why the leather produced by this company has no heavy metal residue.

Yang Jie still admires such a tannery with a long history, and this attitude of constantly innovating and exploring leather craftsmanship and always sticking to this aspect and not blindly expanding is indeed quite rare.

After visiting the factory, Yang Jie also had a meeting with Mandelson.

"Mr. Mandelson, if your company can establish a production base in China, Huaxing Group will increase the purchase of high-grade leather from your company. ”

Yang Jie opened his mouth and said.

“……”

Mandelson was stunned, he naturally knew about Huaxing Group Company, but he didn't understand what the relationship between the young man in front of him and Huaxing Group Company was, but he guessed from the attitude of the Jaguar Land Rover personnel towards this young man that this must be a big man.

"Mr. Yang, do you have a good relationship with the senior management of Huaxing Group?"

Yang Jie saw the confusion in Mandelson's eyes, smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, I still count when I talk in Huaxing Group Company." ”

"I am still very satisfied with the leather made by your company, and our company still has a great demand for this kind of leather, I hope you can provide us with a stable supply, so I hope that your company can establish a production base in our country, and our Huaxing Group can provide help in this regard. ”

Mandelson's eyes showed a look of surprise: "If that's the case, that's great!"

Yanqiao tannery naturally wants to expand the market share of rabbit domestic high-end automotive leather, but it has not been in contact with rabbit domestic companies before, and now Jaguar Land Rover came to the door with Huaxing Group Company, which suddenly made Mandelson feel favored by the goddess of luck.
