Chapter 625: Two models

"Did you design it yourself?" Marcelo felt a little dizzy, looked at Chen Dahe, and then looked at the drawings in his hand, "Although this design drawing has not been verified, but after my preliminary judgment, there should be no big problem in the technical implementation, at most only a little local adjustment is needed, it is unbelievable!"

He has been involved in automobiles for more than 20 years, and knows every major model, once and now, and he is 90% sure that this design will match the chassis of the Rover car, plus a little familiarity with the symbolic features, he can be sure that this is the design of the Rover car.

As soon as Jerome on the side heard this, he immediately played a round, looked at Chen Dahe and said, "Sir, he means that your design is perfect, he is very shocked, I didn't expect your design talent to be so clever, yes, that's it." ”

Industrial design can be different from the general art and graffiti, it needs to go through strict technical demonstration and test testing, in order to finally determine the appearance of a product, to ensure that it matches the chassis architecture to the greatest extent, to determine the safety of the car, otherwise, why should those domestic manufacturers in later generations thanklessly copy the appearance of foreign products, and it is not simple to design directly into the beauty.

When he saw this design and Marcelo's reaction, Jerome was actually a little incredulous, when will the boss design the car? Or is this drawing actually designed by someone else, and then named after himself?

At this time, Marcelo also reacted and looked at the boss with a little apology, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to question it, as Mr. Jerome said, it was your design that shocked me!" In fact, there is another thing that surprises me, that is, the time of your design cycle, although our entire design team only took less than two months to come up with all the design drawings, in fact, many of them are designed by designers of these brands before, and we have only made adjustments to some of these things, especially Farasini, which is the result of my whole five years of thinking, and you, it really only took a few months, although it is just a look, but it is also very difficult!"

Jerome smiled and added, "We just liked Marcelo's understanding of the automobile industry, and he designed several Farasini models in a hopeless situation, so we specially invited him to join the company!"

It turns out that there are still these inside stories behind the scenes, no wonder this mission can be completed so quickly and so well.

Chen Dahe nodded suddenly, then smiled and waved his hand, "No need to explain, frankly speaking, for a person who has never been in contact with a car, it is really difficult to accept such a drawing, if it is replaced by me, I will inevitably doubt, but in fact, this is just a little idea of my car, it is really just a graffiti, I don't know if it can be used at all, since Marcelo said that it can be used, it is simply a surprise!

He took out the prototype of the Roewe 750 launched by the later Shang Automobile Company, frankly speaking, when he first saw that model, he thought it was the masterpiece of a British high-end car company, because the British style of this car is too strong, and the wide body also indicates its level, so I also deliberately went online to check a lot of information, only to know that it was from the domestic company's handwriting, and now to launch a new model of Rover Motors, I naturally thought of this car, so I drew it.

It's just that he is not a professional designer after all, and there are still slight differences between the design drawings drawn and the prototype, especially some specific parameters are not marked at all, coupled with the technical generation difference of nearly 30 years, the difference may be further increased after Marcelo's modification.

"No problem," Marcelo said with a smile, "it's my job!"

Chen Dahe nodded, and then asked, "Maslow, do you think that if two Rover models are launched at the same time, will there be any pressure on our manufacturing plant?"

Marcelo is very confident in his design, and Chen Dahe doesn't want to give up casually, but he doesn't want to be too involved with the original Rover, so he came up with this design drawing.

As for asking him about production, although Marcelo is the design director, he must have a deep understanding of production, otherwise, the products he designed cannot be produced, wouldn't it be meaningless, so Chen Dahe asked him correctly.

Marcelo thought for a moment and said, "If we don't consider the production capacity, with the current production capacity, it is not too big a problem to launch two Rover models at the same time, but when they are launched on the market, they must be adjusted according to the market reaction, otherwise the current Rover production line is not enough to support the production capacity of the two best-selling models." ”

He also wants to know, one pays tribute to the classics, the other is completely detached from the past, creating a new shape, which of the two will be more popular with the market, as for production capacity, this is never the key, when the market reaction is hot, the big deal is to add new capacity.

Chen Dahe nodded, the market reaction is a later story, since it can be realized at present, then launch these two models at the same time, in case they both explode, then increase the production line, maybe, the market will not accept it? !

Phew, baba, baba babes blow away!

Secretly scolding a crow's mouth, Chen Dahe continued to play several other models with Marcelo.

If Marcelo was very satisfied with the design of the medium and large sedans, then the design of the two brands of Triumph and Austin made him a little uncomfortable.

How to say it, the sense of the times is strong, in Chen Dahe's eyes, it is simply ugly, but in the eyes of Jerome and Marcelo, this is the most popular fashion element at the moment, just like toad glasses and bell bottoms, young people will definitely like it!

Well, at this time, toad mirrors and bell bottoms were also popular in Europe and the United States, well, and there were wide suits that were enough to fit two padded jackets, in this regard, Chen Dahe could only say that every era has the characteristics of each era, since they are so confident, then let's decide.

However, in the end, Chen Dahe still took the drawing board and drew a picture of the appearance of the car on the spot.

Watching the lines take shape little by little in Chen Dahe's hands, Marcelo finally began to believe that the Rover's car design drawings might really come from the boss.

When the outline of the subject under the brush gradually became clearer, Marcelo's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally his heart became more and more certain, "This is, panda?!"

"Yes, it's a panda!" Chen Dahe smiled slightly, stopped the paintbrush in his hand, and handed over the sketchpad, "I want to make this into a mini car, can you find a matching chassis?"

The Geely Panda of later generations, a very beautiful miniature car, many girls like it, but unfortunately the more it was changed, the more ugly it became, Chen Dahe painted the appearance of the first generation of cars, he was worried about whether the ugly Triumph and Austin could be sold, and wanted to use this car as a foundation.

"Of course, it's just a miniature car, and there is not much technical difficulty at all!" Marcelo took the drawing board, and handed it over to Jerome who came over a little, and then his heart moved, and he turned his head to look at Chen Dahe, "Boss, I have an idea, like a panda such a magical animal, no one in Europe will not like it, this model completely highlights the characteristics of the panda, and it will definitely be welcomed by the market, in this case, it seems a bit of a pity to make it a mini car, why don't we make this a special model?!"

Jerome, who was next to him, also looked up sharply, "It's like a beetle, and a mini!"

The appearance of these two cars has been used for decades, and with the shape of this panda, it seems that it can also be done!

"Yes, that's it!" Marcelo snapped his fingers, holding the sketchpad with some affection, and it seemed that he liked it more than the Rover he had just done.

Chen Dahe shrugged, "Technical matters, you can just decide." ”

If he could build a car that could rival the Beetle and the mini, he would be the biggest beneficiary, and he would certainly be happy to sit back and watch it happen.

After all the models, Chen Dahe had a very intuitive feeling of Marcelo's design strength, and it was rare to ask him about the interior design of the two cars he took out, so he let Marcelo go into production directly after the design was determined.
