Spring City, the conference room of the headquarters of Ming Luxury Car Co., Ltd.

Since Zhou Jingming consciously wants to develop Chuncheng into the luxury car production base of Ming Group, Zhou Jingming also deliberately chose Chuncheng to enter the school for the research and development of luxury car brands this time

At present, the business scope of Ming Group in Chuncheng is limited to the annual output of 200,000 Fuwa car production workshop, but fortunately, the office location should have, the new investment project has been negotiated with the Chuncheng City Government, at the latest in October, the office building of the luxury car Co., Ltd. and the construction land of the supporting facilities such as the factory will be approved, and at that time, the business scope of the Ming Group in Chuncheng will be further improved.

Among the six subsidiaries of Ming Group, Power Transmission Co., Ltd. and several subordinate research institutes, Zongmen cadres were placed in Gusu City, the headquarters of Luxury Car Co., Ltd. was placed in Chuncheng, and the remaining four subsidiaries and the group headquarters were left in Shencheng by Zhou Jingming. After all, Shencheng is the place where Ming Group started, and with the development of the past few years, the supporting facilities of Shencheng automobile industry are becoming more and more perfect, and it is also convenient for Ming Group to carry out business by keeping these companies in Shencheng.

In addition to the above three cities, Yanjing, Yangcheng and Jinling are purely the production base and sales center of Ming Group, Zhou Jingming did not put any subsidiary headquarters in these three cities, but with the further expansion of Ming Group's business, these three cities will also assume more responsibilities.

At this time, in the conference room, led by Zhou Jingming, engineers from the three subsidiaries of off-road vehicles, luxury cars, powertrains and cars, plus engineers from the product engineering department of the group headquarters, are sitting quietly in the conference room at the moment, waiting for Zhou Jingming to give the next instructions.

This time, the members of the luxury car R&D team, all of them are senior engineers or above, each of them is enough to take on the position of chief engineer of automobile assembly design, the lineup can be called luxury, Ming Group has launched four car research and development so far, no car research and development lineup can compare with the current preparation of the development of this car.

In addition to the Chinese engineers within the Ming Group, Dybala, the current general arrangement of Rolls-Royce Company, was also called by Zhou Jingming, of course, there is no Rolls-Royce Motor Car Company anymore, and the Rolls-Royce brand has been divided into Luxury Car Co., Ltd. by Zhou Jingming, so strictly speaking, Dybala is currently a member of Luxury Car Co., Ltd.

Although the Chinese engineers have rich experience in research and development, after all, they have no experience in developing luxury cars, Dybala has worked in Audi and BMW before serving as the general arrangement of Rolls-Royce, and has participated in the development of many luxury cars.

Of course, the general arrangement of luxury car development this time is still Zhou Jingming, who will become the chief designer of the luxury car brand of Ming Group.

"Everyone, I guess you all know what the situation is. After the time was up, Zhou Jingming took the lead in standing up, and then said to everyone.

"From the first beginning of the establishment of the Ming Group, I have been looking forward to the arrival of this, our Chinese automobile industry, from the scale of ten years ago, to now gradually become one of the largest automobile markets in the world, can have undergone radical changes, but our automobile industry, is still stuck in the production of low-end models, even if we just launched this year Yixuan SUV, it is just a mid-range model. ”

"I once said to Minister Li of the Ministry of Mechanics, Volkswagen Group has Audi, Toyota has Lexus, General Motors has Lincoln, and what about our Ming Group? Or the entire automobile industry in our country, is there a luxury car brand comparable to it?"

"The answer is no!"

Before every new car development, Zhou Jingming will give the members of the entire project team a mobilization meeting, this time is no exception, and Zhou Jingming's words are also successful to resonate with the Chinese engineers present, the scale of China's automobile industry is there, but not high-end enough!

"Therefore, after the development and accumulation of the first four cars, I decided that the next car of the Ming Group will be positioned as a luxury car, and the benchmark car series of this car is the car brands such as Audi, Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz that I mentioned above, so the next new car research and development will be very different from the previous one. Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued.

After all, it is the research and development of luxury cars, so it is impossible for Zhou Jingming to treat the research and development of this car like he did with the research and development of the previous cars.

"Chairman, has the internal R&D code and model name of this car been decided?" an engineer soon asked.

With the above two names and numbers, the following names will also be much more convenient.

"The internal R&D code is set to TM1995L001, and as for the model name, the Chinese name is Yanhuang, and the English name is Grace!" Zhou Jingming looked at everyone and replied with a smile.

Yan!

This is the name that Zhou Jingming got for the luxury car brand of the Ming Group, and the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor themselves are the emperors in Chinese mythology, and the naming of this name directly reflects the nobility and extraordinaryness of this car.

The English name "Grace" itself has the meaning of "elegant and noble", not to mention the meaning of "YourGrace" and "Your Majesty", which is similar to the Chinese name of Yanhuang.

After listening to the name introduced by Zhou Jingming, the people in the conference room also nodded frequently, Ming Company is currently selling several cars, whether it is Phoenix, Kirin, or Fuwa, are very Chinese in naming, this time Yanhuang, but also to continue this tradition.

After these, next, Zhou Jingming gave a detailed introduction to the specific development requirements of Yanhuang's car, which is equivalent to giving the preliminary technical plan.

"In view of the fact that our group has been implementing the platform strategy, the development of Yanhuang sedan this time is still based on the TMV platform, and the assembly design of the chassis is to retain the foundation of Yixuan SUV as much as possible, and the universal parts that can be realized do not need to be redeveloped. In addition, the Yanhuang series of models will uniformly use a load-bearing all-aluminum body, and all future new car developments will also use a load-bearing body to replace the original non-load-bearing body. ”

"Chairman, if Yanhuang's car will also use the TMV platform, does it mean that the engine can still use the Yixuan engine, and there is no need to develop it again?"

"The main part remains the same, but this time, I want to use the DVVT function on this engine. Zhou Jingming looked at the engineer and replied with a smile.
