Zhou Jingming's original idea was to still place Bugatti's production and R&D center in Europe in Morssem, France, which was the headquarters of Bugatti before it was acquired by Artioli, but now listening to Chen Zhenyu's words, Zhou Jingming feels that it may be a better choice to put Bugatti in Italy.

At present, Tianming Group's production bases are almost all over the world, in Europe, mainly in Detroit in the United States and Munich, Germany, and in China, Shencheng is the center, including Yanjing, Chuncheng, Gusu, Yangcheng, Shiyan, including the production circle, and then counting the two new production bases in Argentina and Brazil in South America, Tianming Group's business management is indeed too scattered.

This is not counting the future Southeast Asian market, if a brand like Bugatti, which does not have a high annual output, is located in France, it is indeed not conducive to the intensification of the group.

"Okay, then according to what you said, put Bugatti in Modena, Italy, and I will hand over the project to you, and then you prepare a project investment plan, which will be approved at the group meeting, and then your luxury car company will be responsible for the implementation. After some thought, Zhou Jingming said to Chen Zhenyu.

"Okay chairman. Chen Zhenyu nodded hurriedly.

"In addition, since Lamborghini and Bugatti are currently under the umbrella of luxury car companies, the operation of the next two brands will be handed over to you for the time being, how to plan and revive these two brands, or you are fully responsible, if there is anything I need to do, just tell me. ”

Zhou Jingming paused and continued.

When the major subsidiaries were just established, in order to facilitate the management of the group, Zhou Jingming basically had the final say, and there was very little decentralization, and now these companies are already on the right track, and the management of each company will naturally be delegated to the hands of the relevant person in charge to achieve real self-financing.

With so much work at once, Chen Zhenyu not only did not feel resentful, but was very happy, among the several subsidiaries of Tianming Group, the luxury car company was the most idle, and now it is okay, the luxury car company has joined so many models, Chen Zhenyu is too late to be happy.

After arranging the affairs of Bugatti and Lamborghini, Zhou Jingming was not idle, but called Zhao Ke to inform him and asked him to gather the main members of the Hongmeng project team in the afternoon, ready to push the development of Hongmeng's supercar forward.

Although there are only two years left before 2000, but fortunately, during this time, only the development of the body is in a state of stagnation, and the development of other assemblies is still going according to plan.

Coupled with the technical departments of Bugatti and Lamborghini, there is a complete set of mature supercar development and testing processes, and the overall development progress of Hongmeng will not be greatly affected.

In the afternoon, Hongmeng's project will be held as scheduled, in view of the various problems encountered in the early development process, Zhou Jingming has made corresponding deployments, especially the development of the body assembly, which is the focus of Zhou Jingming's attention, after the overall meeting, Zhou Jingming even left a few people in charge of body development, and made a separate advice.

"Senior brother, the next development of Hongmeng, I have to trouble you to pay more attention. But technically, there is no problem, as long as the deadline can be followed, everything is OK. After the meeting, Zhou Jingming said to Zhao Ke while packing up his things.

"What, do you have anything else to do?" Zhao Ke asked curiously. Generally speaking, Zhou Jingming is responsible for the development of new cars of Tianming Group, and this time he handed over the development project of the supercar to Zhao Ke.

"There are other projects that I need to organize. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile, "Next, I want to organize the R&D departments of the current sedan, off-road vehicle and luxury car companies to develop one or two new models for the group's existing car brands, and develop them in a group." ”

Tianming Group's single model, Zhou Jingming has talked about this problem more than once, but in order to quickly develop the market, the group's funds and scientific research strength are limited, and it can only support the development of one model at a time, so so far, Tianming Group has only five models on sale.

Even if you count all the models of Rolls-Royce, Bugatti and Lamborghini that have been acquired, all the models of Tianming Group are much worse than those of Volkswagen, Toyota and other companies.

If the problem of a single model is not solved, not only will the sales volume not be able to continue to increase, but the current hot sales of Tianming Group will not last too long, and it will soon be eliminated by the market.

Anyway, now that Tianming Group has the ability to develop multiple models at the same time, Zhou Jingming wants to start this big project now.

"Group development, are you planning to expand and develop on the basis of existing car brands?" Zhao Ke asked thoughtfully, Zhou Jingming had mentioned this matter to him many times.

"That's right. Zhou Jingming nodded, "In addition to Xiaofuwa, Phoenix, Kirin, Yixuan, Yanhuang, these car brands can develop new models according to their needs, such as Yixuan SUV, which can be developed in the direction of large luxury SUVs, and Kirin sedans can also have their own convertibles, and even SUVs and even sports cars." ”

Whether it is Phoenix or Kirin, it is just a car brand, and as for how many models are under this car brand, it all depends on the market's recognition of this brand.

"Do you want to treat every car brand in our group as a brand like Hongqi?" Zhao Ke asked.

"There is such an idea, but you can't copy all the practices of others, like the Yixuan brand, his positioning is SUV, and will not involve the rest of the models, and there is the Yanhuang car, he will only develop in the direction of luxury cars, and will not be as low, medium and high-end as the Hongqi car. ”

Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued, "As for the development method, it is definitely necessary to adopt the platform development method, which can save time and money." ”

After so many years of development, Tianming Group has formed TMV, TMU two major automotive design platforms, these two platforms according to the different engine layout, basically including all the mainstream engine layout methods in the world, not only that, Tianming Group is currently developing the group's third design platform TMX.

At that time, relying on these three major automobile design platforms, Tianming Group's automobile development capabilities will be greatly improved.
