Chapter 341

When it comes to quality issues, everyone has a headache, and the quality of the cars produced by the Detroit factory is very questionable, especially after they use a new platform for production, which is much more efficient than the old platform, and the ability to modularize is stronger, if it is Tennessee, there is no problem, but Detroit is not. All four of them were a little silent, this is the real problem, and sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to get it.

"Boss, there are several car companies in Europe, I think we can talk about it, such as the current Volkswagen Saab and Skoda, especially the Skoda factory, although they use Volkswagen's platform, but if their production is not satisfied, the platform can meet the requirements, we can let them help with production, the quality of the Czech product is still very guaranteed. Grace hurriedly said that he had been in Europe for a short time, and he still knew each other well.

"Grace, you can go and talk, Cage and Turner will accompany you on a trip, as long as the technology allows, they are willing to help us produce, we can make less profits, meet the requirements of the market first, our production line will be built slowly, and there will be five continents. Liu Zhi nodded.

"Okay boss, I'll talk to them as soon as possible and make this happen as soon as possible. Grace nodded.

"Boss, now we are improving the production line, in order to produce more models on a unified platform, but our Wrangler is relatively special, and we may have to increase investment in the production process to ensure that the new Wrangler we developed in the later stage can be produced on the same production line. ”

"Of course, this should be, the speed should be fast, and we also need to increase the research on the platform, and I hope that the improved platform in the future can provide higher quality products. "Liu Yi is a great trust in automated production, both efficiency and quality will be higher than manual production.

"There is no problem in other aspects for the time being, our construction speed is already very fast, and it is not a big problem for all five production lines to be put into production this year. "Cage's news is definitely good news, and it's definitely good news for Liu, which means that he doesn't have to worry about late delivery anymore.

"Where's Turner? ”

"The development of the Wrangler is almost finished, and I think the new generation of Wrangler can be marketed, and now we are testing it, and I asked the owner to move to Nevada and participate in our testing. At the moment the problem we have is in the production of the Grand Cherokee, as per your request, we suspended the production of the Commander, this car and Lincoln's model overlapped, and the sales were not good, so we increased the research and development of the Grand Cherokee, we felt that to redefine the luxury SUV, there was a bit of internal discussion, one was in the large displacement, the other was in the interior, although the design is in progress, but it has not been finalized. ”

"Then is your design based on the buyer's own driving, or is it mostly used for business?" Liu Yi said with a smile, "The interior is just to give the driver and passengers a better experience, in this regard, how do you think about it?"

There is no problem, as long as the concept is right, there is no car that they can't make.

"We think it still depends on the driver's feelings, after all, no matter how high-end we do, the driver may still be a business person, and the possibility of being a business reception is not very large. Turner thought for a moment.

"I think it would be better to use a displacement to do the demarcation point, usually used to go out, the displacement is set at 4.7 or less displacement, this type of people must be driving by themselves, their own feelings must be good, of course, the comfort of the passengers should also be good, but also have a good passability, we can learn from Lexus LX series, for the comfort of the ride, I think it is better to choose the load-bearing body, using the way to strengthen the rigidity of the body, after all, it is still facing more business people, off-road or handed over to the Wrangler, do not overlap. The displacement above 4.7, such as 5.7 and 6.3 large displacement, needs to be more business, such as adding luxurious rear seat playback display, etc., to improve the stability of the body, give drivers and passengers more convenient facilities, so that they can feel the business sense in the car will be better. ”

Liu Yi directly put forward the concept of the later Grand Cherokee and Big Cut Logic SRT, specific things need to be added a little bit, luxury is not only in the interior, the interior is only the part that you see, the biggest advantage they have is the ability of four-wheel drive, in some aspects to make some compromises right, after all, this kind of car can not really be an outdoor off-road vehicle, professional models do professional things, Americans do not only have one car, and American cars are cheap, play with the natural choice of Wrangler, driving must choose Cherokee, this is the purpose of Liu Yi, "The top-of-the-line luxury version is not only larger in size than the general displacement, but also pursues performance, acceleration is also one of the important parameters, you can refer to Mercedes-Benz's GL series. "Liu Yi thought a lot, a lot of things can be used for reference, with their own characteristics on the line, in the suspension must work harder, with the current strength of Jeep is simply impossible and Mercedes-Benz moves, technology accumulation is a lot worse, want to beat the German car is very difficult, even Japan's two fields can not do, although the two fields often occupy the forefront of car companies, but there is a real sense to beat Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Audi.

"Yes, boss, let's think again. Turner nodded.

"Otherwise, the marketing department will do a targeted market survey of people who can afford to buy our high-end models to see what they really need, and we will use this as a reference to make our own high-end models. Liu Yi thought for a while, "Segmenting our users, different types of people buy different models, we can do a small survey to enhance our market adaptability." ”

"Okay, boss" Grace likes this kind of survey the most, as long as the technical department of the technical department adopts it, the vitality in the market will be much stronger, the boss of this way of making decisions by the market is what they prefer, based on the real needs of the market, adding their own characteristics, in order to make the product better adapt to the changes in the market, "Boss, I personally think that the Europeans and Americans have completely different ideas on this level of models, I."

I agree with what you just said, the large displacement is the most luxurious, and the slightly smaller displacement is actually more acceptable in the market, especially the Europeans, the Americans are not as particular as the Europeans, and they are not as particular as they are. Grace's words are only understood by Liu, Europeans pay attention to etiquette, while Americans live rougher, which is determined by regional culture.

"Okay, then cooperate with the technical department to classify the models, and the sales of models that are too high-end will not be too high, but since we want to do it, we must do it well, and do it according to the needs of the market." Liu Yi said with a smile, but unfortunately China's sales are not too good, although new models have been launched, but because of the cooperation with BAIC, sales are not too good, one is that the domestic market has not yet risen, the other is that BAIC is not a good partner, Liu Yi has plans to build a factory in China, establish their own sales company, according to national requirements, these automobile companies to enter the country must be joint ventures with domestic enterprises, he has a company, just set up a new company can operate this thing.

Turner felt very depressed, in the past, they were how to design, how the sales department sold, now the market is upside down, according to the needs of the market to do research and development, but it seems that the effect is not bad, because of the patent, their bonus is still good, higher than the marketing department, as long as the sales increase, the income of the marketing department will also increase, but it is a good thing.

Three people discuss all kinds of existing problems, Liu Yi is often used more than ten years later to solve the current problem, sometimes just to provide a new way of thinking, and judgment of the future, and can not really solve all the problems, the three of them to be more experienced, to provide solutions better than Liu Yi, Liu Yi likes this atmosphere, he does not like to make decisions completely by himself, if others have a better solution, he is more willing to adopt, as if the demand for research and development is the same to the market, with demand to increase patents, as a driving force for innovation。

The meeting ended in the evening, Liu Yi can take a good rest, after eating outside, live in the dormitory of the factory, there is no very good hotel nearby, looking at the factory that is still under construction, Liu Yi secretly sighed, when did he become so powerful, he actually had such a large car production plant, all this is true, he really did a career, when can he enjoy these successes, maybe ten years later, he will develop rapidly without himself, he can make money for himself.

Turner is also resting in the factory, the safety of the factory is higher than outside, Liu Yi does not dare to go out casually at night, one is far away from the bustling area, the other is not very safe here, there are good streets nearby, and it is still more lively at night, after all, this is a place where the French used to stay. Liu Yi is actually quite strange, why is it that the places where the French have stayed are more xenophobic, and the security is relatively poor, while the places where the Germans and the British have stayed are better? The Americans are actually quite strange, they rarely go out at night, most of them are young people, and those who have families generally choose to spend time with their families at home, and they are not as open as everyone thinks.
