It's almost Christmas, Liu Yi received a call across the ocean, Turner called, brought good news to Liu Yi, he will come to China to meet him, report on Jeep research and development, they made the first product, redesigned Compass and Freelancer, this is their first version, and for the Grand Cherokee they still need time to digest, improve the performance of the product, it is estimated that it will be launched two months later, the guide and the freelancer already have a new design language, abandoning the original generation that should exist, directly into the new generation, is the version after 2014Of course, Liu Yi's particularly annoying ass has also been redesigned, and the interior has made even greater changes, including, the sense of space is much better, Liu Yi finally doesn't have to endure its roughness, because of confidentiality, these materials can only be brought by Turner himself, and documents cannot be sent to prevent theft.

Turner came quickly, Liu Yi met him in the courtyard, watched him hold the briefcase, and explained the information inside to him in detail, this time the design was relatively successful, and finally had a little bit of modernity.

"How's the test going?" Liu Yi looked at the various designs on it, and he needed to sign it.

"The wind tunnel test is relatively successful, the drag coefficient is about 0.37, the crash test score is 4 stars, we have added some safety configurations, and at the same time the weight of the vehicle has been reduced, the weight is now two hundred kilograms lighter than our previous one, mainly the counterweight part has been canceled, the body material has also been re-selected, the safety performance has not been reduced, but the filling of each part of the door is more perfect, we plan to use an aluminum alloy engine, of course, there is a diesel engine, which will be about 100 kilograms heavier than a gasoline car, the internal sound insulation effect has been improved, the sound effect has been improved, and the interior space has been redesignedThe size of the interior space is slightly larger, the space of the trunk has been slightly reduced, the front part of the cooler is made of aluminum alloy material, which also reduces the weight, our re-developed four-wheel drive system will be installed in this car, you can freely switch the drive mode, we have also made a lot of improvements in the fuel-saving part, which should be able to meet your requirements, reduce fuel consumption to about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and the electronic configuration has also been increased, and the road test is currently successful. Turner is proud to say that they have already received a large amount of funding, they can invest more in research and development, and this global design competition has provided them with a lot of inspiration and added a lot of fresh blood.

"Very good, have you seen Topgear?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"I have watched the show of tossing cars, it is very good, and now it is very popular, and many people watch it. Turner nodded and said, Liu Yi didn't speak, this show is his money, because the funds are sufficient, their tossing of the car has reached the extreme, as long as everyone puts forward the requirements, they will generally meet, tossing the car is more energetic, but it makes people more convinced of their evaluation, ordinary people can not stand their toss.

"Are you sure to go up and give it a try? What are our competitors? Are you sure to compare with them?" Liu Yi said with a smile, if he can withstand the toss of Topgear, then absolutely not

Question, it is enough to show that it is stronger than other models.

"We compare a lot of models, Subaru Forester, RAV4, CRV, Wing Tiger and so on are all in our class, the biggest competitor is naturally the Japanese top three, their space, comfort and durability, fuel consumption are powerful. "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and I don't think the competition will have any effect." ”

"So where is our selling point, everything is better than others, that's impossible, but we always have a bright spot, and I need this highlight. "No car is perfect, a compact SUV, you can't expect it to be as sturdy as a truck, as fuel-efficient as a diesel car, as comfortable as a Japanese car, as strong off-road as an American car, it's unlikely that everything will be good.

"Our all-wheel drive technology is absolutely second to none, and we have a lot more equipment in the electronics than theirs, according to your plan, we have done research, especially the body stabilization technology, we absolutely surpass all their models, and of course our car durability, it will definitely be better than them. Of course, our fuel consumption is slightly higher than theirs, the comfort and space are only above average, the trunk size is only average, and the body architecture is probably second to none, which we have specially strengthened and designed. Turner said confidently.

"Yes, then study the style of TOPGEAR, make some improvements in the corresponding aspects, we don't have to pursue so speed, after all, it is an SUV is not a real off-road vehicle, it adapts to most of the city roads and some non-paved roads, and has a good comprehensive performance, of course, there are fewer problems. How's going with the new factory?"

In fact, the address has long been decided, as soon as Liu Yi's money arrived, the factory immediately began to build, and the money is naturally very efficient, and the construction speed of their factory is still good, and Liu Yi rarely pays attention to it. "It should be possible to catch up with the progress you require, the first production line can be put into production next year, and now we are still debugging to ensure that the quality of the cars produced now must be much stronger than before, and most of the small problems must be eliminated, we will definitely strictly grasp the quality this time, we have established the same quality inspection system as the Japanese car factory, and also adopted a more advanced automatic production line, most of the labor has been saved, and the management process has also been changed according to your requirements, and the quality must be guaranteed. ”

"Okay, I want to see the results, I don't care about the process, you have worked hard during this time, if this model is on the market normally, and can pass all kinds of toss of topgear, I will give you bonuses, you have done a good job, added a lot of patents for the company, which is very good, we also need to continue to increase our technical accumulation, so that our R&D center becomes the world's leading automotive R&D center." Liu Yi said with a smile, he has probably seen the model map, and the butt of the car after the change is much more beautiful, of course, for the reason of the wind test, a little change will be made because of the wind resistance, but this is already very good, the drag coefficient of the freelancer is higher than that of the guide.

"We are already working on the technology of variable damping and damping that you mentioned, but we need support from materials science and engineering

Success, will be used on our latest Grand Cherokee, I have written the specific plan, need your approval, not sure whether you want to buy them or invest in them. ”

"If it really has value, you have to buy it. Liu Yi said lightly, "If we want to make the best car in the world, money is not a problem." The concept of this mid-level luxury SUV can not be changed, we want to provide customers with a more user-friendly design, so that his choice becomes clear and simple, we are not to increase their driving pleasure, but to reduce their driving pleasure, they need to drive fun to our new Wrangler to find. Liu Yi felt that the design of the car should be separated first, he has given them the technology after ten years, just to be able to dominate when it is launched, and with this technology, you can really walk in front of several car companies, to achieve the first development of technology, he is still a shareholder of Apple, and naturally can transplant some better things to the car.

"Yes, I will cooperate with the investment company to do detailed research. Turner said seriously to Liu Yi.

"I pay the most attention to the customer's experience, if the experience is not good, it proves that we need to improve, I prefer to do market feedback research, which is also an important aspect of the development of our next generation of models, your design I think is very good, I agreed, you test the sample car as soon as possible, compare the relevant data with the same level of models on the market, to see if there are better advantages, we need these points, I said that the topgear thing must be taken to heart, when we put it on the market, they will be tossed, this is our best publicity, confidence？”

"Don't worry, boss, you're going to run out of the last penny and give us a bonus. Turner said confidently.

"That's great, I have a lot of money, it's up to you to take it. Liu Yi laughed, he signed most of the documents above, this research and development for him to add dozens of patents, because the need is as detailed as possible, in order not to be stolen in the future, so do it more carefully, the number of applications is a little more. Liu Yi made new suggestions in some documents, he was not too satisfied with some of the contents, and needed more work from the R&D department, Liu Yi felt that there were still four months to complete what he suggested, and it was not very complicated in itself, he just used the future design to make a little suggestion for the present, and the real professional things were handed over to the R&D personnel.

Turner locked the file box, "Boss, Christmas is our more important holiday, see if you can send us a bonus first, we have applied for a lot of patents this year." ”

Liu Zhi nodded, "You immediately contact the investment company, let their people do an evaluation as soon as possible, report the results to me, I will try to catch up before Christmas, so that the company will pay the bonus in place, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas." "Liu Yi is actually very envious of the foreigner's Christmas, you can take half a month off, this is the same as the domestic Spring Festival, but the treatment is completely different, if the Spring Festival can also be taken for such a long time, he may now be able to take a few more days off in his own company, two weeks is too long. 2k reading web
