"Salute to the successful people,

Hats off to those who have failed......"

When the Chinese "Han" advertisement was broadcast on TV, Zhang Fan, a new celebrity who joined the China Group, was staring intently at the screen on the hotel bed, and sincerely sighed that this advertisement alone could improve the image of the entire company.

Such an international advertisement should come from the hands of a master in the advertising industry, and Zhang Fan, who has always been confident in his aesthetics, is very sure of this. Sure enough, through the iphone given by Han Hao, I checked the Internet with the difficulty of using the 2G network, and learned that this advertisement was originally from a Hollywood director.

"It seems that the vane of fashion trends has always been in the West!"

Zhang Fan muttered quietly, leaned his head heavily on the pillow and stared at the ceiling motionless.

Having just returned from overseas and bearing the title of Mercedes-Benz's senior design expert, he was entrusted with the task of designing a new medium and large flagship SUV as soon as he joined the Chunghwa Group.

"I want to build a new car that makes Chinese proud!"

When accepting the task, Zhang Fan personally made a solemn promise to Han Hao, the boss of the company.

With a budget of 1.2 billion yuan and a term of 48 months, the project, which is internally known as "Plan A", was officially approved, representing another impact of Zhonghua Group in the field of high-end cars.

Whether the "Plan A" can succeed, the first key is how to shape the vehicle designed by Zhang Fan?

"It is necessary to let consumers look at the shape that can move their hearts, but also with our own national characteristics of the Chinese." ”

This is Zhang Fan's specific request for his design team.

It can be said that in the Zhonghua Group, he has obtained a hundred times more authority than in Mercedes-Benz, can rely on his own preferences to form a design team, and also has the power to finalize the design model.

Han Hao has decided that in the future, this new car will be equipped with the same power as the Land Rover SUV, as well as absorbing Land Rover's chassis technology to improve, Zhang Fan needs to be responsible for the aspect of making the exterior and interior meet the international first-class standards.

Nearly 3 months have passed, and Zhang Fan and his own design team of more than 20 people continue to collect wind on the land of China. Their footprints have spread to more than 30 provinces, from deserts to snow-capped mountains, and then from seashores to dense forests, traveling tens of thousands of kilometers, and they have personally experienced the legends of the Chinese nation.

In order for "Plan A" to succeed, this flagship SUV must satisfy Chinese consumers, and only by basing itself in China can we conquer the world, Zhang Fan has a clear understanding of this.

Along the way, he spent countless sketches, looking for sparks of inspiration everywhere he went, but unfortunately the samples did not satisfy him. In the team discussions, there was no look that was recognized by the majority of people, and there was no product that made people shine.

The design team of more than 20 people, with an average age of 25 years old, 32-year-old Zhang Fan is already an elder figure in the team, and all members are personally interviewed and recruited by him, bringing together the top young elite talents in China.

All the way, all the way to learn, the internal atmosphere of the team is free and open, and you can speak freely. It was both a journey of learning and evolution, and the design team quickly got into the role during the long journey.

Tomorrow will arrive at the last stop of the tour, which is also the culmination of traditional Chinese culture and the capital of the great motherland.

The design team is expected to spend 15 days in the capital to dig deep into the sources of inspiration that could be applied to the "Plan A" to create the prototype of the flagship SUV.

For Zhang Fan, it is impossible to say that the pressure is not too high. It has taken nearly 6 months from the entry to the post, to the recruitment of design team members, and then to the three stages of group travel, indicating that the hourglass of "Plan A" has gone one-eighth of the time.

While he was still struggling to find styling inspiration, the power of the car and the mechanical part of the chassis had already begun to advance in the early stage, and the parallel development of multiple threads was the key to the high efficiency of Zhonghua Group.

There are also internal rumors that the "Plan A" already has a backup plan, that is, if Zhang Fan can't come up with a satisfactory shape for a long time, it will be topped by Zhao Chunlei's "water drop ripples" and become the existence of the group's flagship SUV.

Such gossip is not groundless, in fact, it is not only "water droplet ripples", even the "Beacon Great Wall" may become a substitute, under Han Hao's acquiescence, the original two design teams also rely on their own design language to promote large-scale SUV projects.

The healthy competition within is Han Hao's "yang strategy" to stimulate the creativity of his subordinates, giving you resources and authority, but you also have to face competition from equally excellent colleagues.

"Innovation inevitably fails, and my greatest strength is that I can tolerate and tolerate failure. ”

The full-fledged Han Hao now has strong strength to resist risks, even if one project fails, there will be other projects on top.

Whether it is "Water Droplet Ripples" or "Beacon Great Wall", the two design languages are very successful for Chunghwa Group.

However, Han Hao hopes that the new flagship SUV can create a new language façade like the Land Cruiser in addition to the design language of the Corolla and Camry, like Toyota.

The introduction of a new design language can eliminate consumers' boredom with Zhonghua Group's nesting doll and bring something different.

In winter, the morning in the capital was very cold, but in the early morning of the next day after arriving in the capital, Zhang Fan took all the members to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

Zhang Fan had a similar experience when he was in college before, and he vividly remembers tears in his eyes when he saw the national flag slowly raised and the national anthem sang loudly with the crowd around him.

This is an indescribable emotion, which makes him feel as clear as new after many years, and it is also the source of motivation that supports his insistence on returning to China despite Mercedes-Benz to retain.

Dressed in a military coat, the most fashionable national coat in China for decades, Zhang Fan stomped his feet to drive away the cold on his body.

In the early morning when there was no sun, the wind was blowing in Tiananmen Square, but fortunately, countless people gathered to form an airtight wall, huddling together to warm up and wait for the dawn to come.

With the growth of experience, the inner valve has become more and more firm, and Zhang Fan no longer easily expresses his true emotions.

But when the surrounding crowd sang the national anthem in unison, and once again looked at the five-star red flag slowly rising under the sun, Zhang Fan found that his tears filled his eyes again.

With the lyrics of the last national anthem sung, the five-star red flag rose to the top and fluttered high in the air, Zhang Fan looked away, and happened to see the Huabiao also standing in the distance, as if it was spreading its wings in the sky under the colorful sunlight, which was very beautiful.

This momentary scene gave Zhang Fan a great impact, he didn't care about the calls of others, and quickly took out a pen from his pocket and drew a pattern in the palm of his hand.

Like a dam that has opened a floodgate, countless inspirations poured out, and the materials accumulated from traveling through China's rivers and mountains were gathered, and a sketch of "Lingyun Wings" was born.

When the other spectators dispersed one by one, they saw more than 20 young people in military coats standing together, happily discussing something, and expressing their opinions to add various details to the newly released "Lingyun Wings".

"I think we Chinese belong to the role of being soft on the inside and strong on the outside, although on the outside we look strong and not good at expressing emotions, but on the inside we are rich in feelings and pay attention to details.

Among the many ancient civilizations, only we Chinese have maintained the inheritance of culture, and have not yielded to all kinds of hardships and hardships to this day. But this kind of national temperament is not the most rigid and easy to fold one side, but added moisturizing things silently like flowing water around the fingers, the inner soft and the outer just pay attention to the balance to form the golden mean. ”

A young designer who majored in the history of ancient Chinese architecture at university shared his opinion during the discussion.

"This is a very good proposal. Since we want to create a national car for the Chinese, we must implement the design concept of soft inside and strong outside, so that everyone can resonate as soon as they see the work. ”

Another designer said.

In the open space of the Capital Square, the young design team finally reaped the results after a long journey, and everyone worked together to set the design gene of "soft inside and rigid outside" for the new flagship SUV of Zhonghua Group, as well as the design language of "Lingyun Wings".

Luckily, at the last and most important stop of the collection, Zhang Fan and the entire designer team completed the goal set at the time of departure.

Han Hao didn't pay too much attention to the movements of Zhang Fan's team, as long as he had the final result, he didn't care about the process.

At the time of the birth of another new car design language of Zhonghua Group, Han Hao was busy preparing a banquet at home that day to entertain two special guests.

The family banquet that can be arranged by the richest man in Han is naturally expensive.

Xiong Fanxing was a little confused, why the boss Han Hao gave him a death order and asked him to come to dinner.

Of course, nominally it is a great contributor to the company, you must know that with the vehicle design scheme of the future version of the pure electric car of Zhonghua "Han", Zhonghua Group once again won the highest award of China's automobile industry technology, and successfully achieved the first prize for four consecutive championships.

The vehicle "Tang" SUV, independent CVT, Kunpeng pure electric bus, and then the "Han" pure electric car have won awards one after another, and Zhonghua Group has firmly occupied the first position among domestic car companies with its outstanding R&D strength.

As the person in charge of new energy technology, Xiong Fanxing has become the first person in China to win the first prize in a row, and is an unparalleled candidate for technical experts.

If it weren't for his American status, he would have received more domestic honors, and some people even said that if new energy vehicles become mainstream in the future, then he would be eligible to participate in the selection of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

As an ABC American banana man, Xiong Fanxing increasingly found himself more willing to be a Chinese because he found his career platform in Jiangzhou.

Usually, you can dress casually at work, but when you go to Han Hao's house for dinner, Xiong Fanxing still dresses up a little and looks more solemn.

Driving the electric version of "Han", Xiong Fanxing finally came to the door of Han Hao's house and found that it was not Han Hao's family who greeted him, but a girl named Fang Yiyi.

From the other party's introduction, Xiong Fanxing learned that she was the manager of the Boss Foundation and a college classmate of the boss's wife.

Usually too immersed in the field of technology, Xiong Fanxing found that his communication with girls was much clumsy, and the scene was once embarrassing to find and could only turn around in the automotive field, but fortunately, Fang Yiyi asked many questions about electric vehicles in an empathetic manner, so that the two did not communicate coldly.

The generous, active and erudite Fang Yiyi left a deep impression on Xiong Fanxing. He regretted that he didn't pay too much attention to current affairs, and he seemed a little out of step with the times in front of this girl who graduated from Huaqing University.

Xiong Fanxing saw Han Hao in the vegetable field greenhouse in front of the villa, this super-rich man was picking vegetable melons with his wife and children, saying that it was to prepare for the next family banquet.

Because he couldn't pull away, Han Hao asked Xiong Fanxing to stay in the living room and instructed Fang Yiyi to accompany him. The boss spoke, Xiong Fanxing could only comply, and had to continue to chat with Fang Yiyi alone with a headache.

"Do you think the two of them can make a spark?"

Looking at the two people in the living room, Chen Lingxi asked Han Hao quietly.

"Men chase women across mountains, women chase men across the veil. Fang Yiyi is a spirit, don't you see how happy she laughs?"

Han Hao picked up a tomato and put it in the basket and replied.

As Chen Lingxi's best friend and classmate, Fang Yiyi's lifelong events are naturally her worries. In particular, the parents of the Fang family specially called over to ask Chen Lingxi to take care of their daughter, and hoped that she would help check the major events in their lives, which made them unforgettable.

After knocking on the side a few times, Chen Lingxi didn't find that Fang Yiyi had a favorite object, so he relaxed his attention.

Unexpectedly, one day Fang Yiyi specially brought a newspaper with a portrait of Xiong Fanxing printed on it, and the title was the news report that he won the first prize for a second time.

In the context of the other party's inching about Xiong Fanxing's various information, Chen Lingxi forced Fang Yiyi to ask and discovered her interest in this older unmarried technical expert.

"When I was a child, I had a good impression of this kind of boy who wore glasses and did well in his studies. It's a pity that I didn't find a suitable partner in college, but now that you have a desirable goal, you can help. ”

When he learned that Xiong Fanxing didn't have a girlfriend, Fang Yiyi planned to take the initiative.

Poor Xiong Fanxing fell into a trap that had been planned for a long time, and he didn't know that the girl who looked at him with admiration in front of him and kept asking about various details of the new car technology was the initiator.

He has already stepped on the big ship of China, and under all kinds of fetters, I am afraid it will be too late to turn back.

The matchmaker was just a handyman, but there was another thing that had to be taken seriously by Han Hao.
