|||->->After driving the "Yanhuang" sedan project kick-off meeting, Zhou Jingming did not rush back to Shencheng, but stayed here for one night. The Hongqi R50, jointly designed by FAW Hongqi and Rolls-Royce, has also kicked off at the Hongqi R&D Center in Spring City, and Zhou Jingming plans to learn about the specific situation.

Hongqi's R&D center is not far from the production base of Xiaofuwa sedan, and Zhou Jingming walked for about five minutes to arrive. Because no one here was notified in advance, the security guard did not let Zhou Jingming in, so there was no way, Zhou Jingming could only call the person in charge of the Hongqi R&D Center.

Soon, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked out.

"I'm really sorry, Chairman Zhou, I didn't know you were here today, I was sluggish. Song Yingnan, director of the Hongqi R&D Center, said apologetically.

After finishing speaking, Song Yingnan looked at the security guard at the door again, and his face became stern, "Don't you know Chairman Zhou of Tianming Group? Who asked you to stop him outside!"

Nowadays, the design of the Hongqi R50 sedan and the later publicity and sales all rely on the platform of Rolls-Royce of Tianming Group, Chen Dongsheng of the Ministry of Mechanics and the old leaders of FAW specially instructed all the management of FAW not to slack off on Zhou Jingming, and Song Yingnan naturally dared not offend Zhou Jingming.

"Director Song, I don't blame him for this, it's my problem. Zhou Jingming hurriedly said with a smile.

Under the leadership of Song Yingnan, Zhou Jingming soon came to the R&D laboratory of Hongqi R50, and the engineers of both sides were discussing the specific technical solutions at this time, Zhou Jingming just stood at the door and watched in order not to disturb them.

"Director Song, hasn't the technical plan of Hongqi R50 been decided yet?" Zhou Jingming turned his head and asked softly. The joint project team has been established for more than half a month, and it stands to reason that the preliminary technical plan should be finalized.

"It is still being optimized, in fact, it is mainly the design scheme of the body shape, which needs to be discussed slowly, and the rest of the parts and components are basically the same as the original old Hongqi, or the Rolls-Royce car. Song Yingnan replied with a smile.

This Hongqi R50 sedan, listened to Zhou Jingming's opinions on the engine, directly using the Rolls-Royce V12 engine, and the gearbox uses the original Hongqi car's six-speed automatic transmission, that is to say, the two most important and complex powertrain systems of the whole car do not need to be redesigned, and the rest is just polishing the details.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jingming asked Song Yingnan a few more questions, and then at the invitation of Song Yingnan, he made a speech to the members of the joint project team, especially telling several Rolls-Royce engineers that they must focus on the overall situation and not delay the development progress of Hongqi R50.

"Director Song, if the hardware facilities here can't keep up and you need any help, you can come to me, and I will help you solve these problems. Before leaving, Zhou Jingming said to Song Yingnan with a smile.

Hongqi R&D center is already the most advanced research institute of FAW Group, but compared with Rolls-Royce's R&D base in the UK, it is still much worse, Tianming Group is ready to set up a luxury car R&D center in Spring City, which is to be built in accordance with the first-class standards in Europe, but this R&D center is estimated to wait until the research and development of the "Yanhuang" car is over, before it can be officially put into use.

"Okay, then I'll thank Dong Chou first. Song Yingnan hurriedly replied.

After coming out of the Hongqi R&D Center, Zhou Jingming saw the words "FAW-Volkswagen" across the street from a distance, and couldn't help but stop.

"According to the time calculation, in less than three months, FAW-Volkswagen should be about to introduce the Audi 200 car!" Zhou Jingming touched his chin and muttered quietly.

As the first luxury car introduced in China, the popularity of the Audi 200 in China at that time can be imagined, and the government's official car was almost contracted by Audi.

"But this Volkswagen has enough ideas to memorize. When the introduction of the golf sedan, it came across the release of the Yixuan SUV of Tianming Company, and now the Audi 200 car is about to be negotiated, and it has caught up with the development of Yanhuang luxury car by Tianming Group, which is really a bit out of time!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but smile. The sales of Yixuan SUV can surpass that of the Golf sedan in a short period of time, and Zhou Jingming is confident that the sales of the "Yanhuang" car will definitely surpass the Audi 200 in one fell swoop in the future.

Thinking about it at this time, it really feels like "both Shengyu and He Shengliang"!

At this time, FAW-Volkswagen, general manager Xu Bohua also held an emergency internal meeting, yesterday afternoon Tianming Group suddenly issued a statement, announcing that it is about to develop a luxury car, officially entering the luxury car market, this news, for Xu Bohua, can be described as a bolt from the blue, the golf sedan was pressed by the Yixuan SUV to the death of the scene, Xu Bohua still vividly remembers.

Now when FAW-Volkswagen is about to introduce the Audi 200 car, Tianming Group suddenly announced that it will enter the luxury car market, Xu Bohua always feels that Tianming Group seems to be on the same bar as FAW-Volkswagen!

"Everyone, the statement issued by Tianming Group yesterday must be known to everyone, I am not growing the morale of others and destroying my own prestige, but I always feel that if the Audi 200 car is in a head-on confrontation with the luxury cars of Tianming Group, it will definitely be our FAW-Volkswagen who is at a disadvantage. ”

In the conference room, Xu Bohua stood at the front with a solemn face and said to everyone.

And the rest of the people in the conference room, after listening to Xu Bohua's words, also showed a wry smile, Tianming Group can now be said to have become a nightmare for all domestic car manufacturers, since the release of Xiaofuwa car, Tianming Group has already established its own domestic "first brother" status.

Not to mention that the current SUV wind has swept the world, SUV this model, stunned in the hands of Tianming Group, from the previous unpopular, has become the most popular model among consumers in the international automobile market, you can imagine how painful Xu Bohua should be in the face of such a competitor.

"However, at this stage, the development of Tianming Group's luxury car has just been approved, and it should be about two years away from the official release, and we must use this time to seize the market, so the introduction of Audi 200 this car must be accelerated, and at the same time, the domestic side must also be ready for sales as soon as possible, and strive to have enough market share before the release of this luxury car of Tianming Group, to consume with Tianming Group!" Xu Bohua paused, and then continued.

Not only FAW-Volkswagen, but even foreign car manufacturers, for the statement that Tianming Group is about to enter the luxury car market, also expressed great concern, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other traditional luxury car manufacturers, is even more vigilant, for their business in the global market, carried out the corresponding strategic deployment, the purpose is only one, that is, to "block" Tianming Group's action!

Overnight, Tianming Group seemed to have become an "enemy of the whole people".
