In fact, Zhou Jingming's Yixuan SUV launched this year is to pave the way for entering the luxury car market, the price is as high as 250,000 yuan L series Yixuan SUV, which has been defined as a C-class car, with this car in the European and American markets to play the front, when Tianming Company launches a more high-end luxury car, it will not be so abrupt.

Prior to this, Tianming Group relied on B-class cars and compact cars to win the world in the European and American markets, and in the next step, Zhou Jingming was ready to wrestle with luxury car manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the luxury car market.

"If Tianming Group can put the luxury car Co., Ltd. in Spring City, it will also be of great help to consolidate the position of Spring City Auto City, and I will definitely support you in this matter. Hearing this, Lee Ming-che said with a smile.

"If you need help with any formalities, you can come to me, or Minister Li, and we will help you solve the procedural matters. Chen Dongsheng on the side also said.

"Then I would like to thank the two leaders for their concern. Zhou Jingming smiled, and then continued, "Rolls-Royce automotive engineers, I will arrange for them to come to China in the next few days, as for Hongqi, I still need Minister Li and Director Chen to help arrange it." ”

After all, Hongqi is a brand belonging to FAW Group, and it is inconvenient for Zhou Jingming to point fingers in this matter.

"I'll go to FAW in two days, and I'll arrange it. Chen Dongsheng nodded and said, as early as a few years ago, Chen Dongsheng had already greeted FAW Hongqi, since it has been decided to develop the Hongqi R50 car, then Chen Dongsheng will arrange this matter properly.

"Good. I'll also go to Spring City when the time comes. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile, in addition to arranging the engineers on both sides to do the handover work, Zhou Jingming is also ready to prepare for the production of luxury cars in Spring City.

If nothing else, next month, Tianming Group will start the development of luxury cars. Before that, Zhou Jingming had to do all the preparations.

After the three of them talked for more than half an hour, the relevant details of the Hongqi R50 car have been determined, and the next step is to convene engineers on both sides of FAW Hongqi and Rolls-Royce to form a joint development team to discuss the research and development of the Hongqi R50 car and determine the final technical plan.

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, I almost forgot to tell you, on the 21st of this month, this year's International Automobile Development Summit will be held in Yanjing, if you have time, you can come and participate. Zhou Jingming was about to leave the office, Li Mingzhe suddenly stopped him and said.

"...... No. 21" Zhou Jingming pondered in his heart, then looked at Li Mingzhe and asked, "What is the theme of this development summit?"

Every year, Zhou Jingming almost will go to the automobile development summit, because the theme of each summit will become the trend of the development of the international automobile industry in the second year and in the future, Zhou Jingming needs to understand these, and then formulate the most appropriate development strategy for Tianming Group.

Since this development summit is being held in China, Zhou Jingming has no reason not to attend.

It seems to be lightweight. Chen Dongsheng on the side replied.

"Lightweight...... That's an interesting subject. Zhou Jingming smiled and nodded.

The concept of lightweight is actually with the outbreak of the oil crisis in the international automobile industry, the skyrocketing oil prices, so that the world's major automobile manufacturers are looking for all ways to reduce the fuel consumption of vehicles, and lightweight is one of the directions.

With the advent of the nineties, the further rise in oil prices has made lightweight once again get the attention of the entire international automobile industry, this time it has become the theme of the annual international automobile summit, it is foreseeable that after the end of this summit, lightweight will become the main direction for all automobile manufacturers to overcome.

"Looking at your appearance, is it possible that you have any special ideas for lightweight? It just so happens that there are no reporting materials in China, or this time you Tianming Group will make a report?" Li Mingzhe asked with a smile.

As the host country of the Automotive Development Summit this time, China is indeed unjustifiable if it does not even have a decent report material.

"I don't make any promises, at this stage we do not have lightweight as the main research direction within the company, and in the remaining days, I dare not guarantee that we will be able to prepare a high-quality report material. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

There is only about a week left before the 21st, and during this time, Zhou Jingming is still busy with the internal affairs of the group, so it is not so easy to prepare a report on lightweight.

"Okay, try to prepare as much as you can, and don't forget to come and participate when the time comes. Lee Ming-che nodded, but did not force it. If it weren't for Zhou Jingming coming to Yanjing this time, Li Mingzhe would have forgotten to inform Zhou Jingming.

After talking about the Hongqi car, considering that the group was in a period of change, there were a lot of things that Zhou Jingming needed to preside over the overall situation, so on the morning of the next day, Zhou Jingming returned to Shencheng.

Zhou Jingming is not there, all the affairs of the group, Zhao Ke is temporarily in charge, and after learning about the specific situation with Zhao Ke, Zhou Jingming will continue to hand over these things to Zhao Ke to be responsible, and he can just take time out to prepare materials about lightweight.

The concept of strong weight was originally originated in motorsports, and later with the outbreak of the oil crisis, the concept of light weight was transplanted from motorsports to the design of ordinary cars.

The advantages of lightweight are actually not difficult to understand, because once the weight of the vehicle becomes lighter, not only the fuel consumption of the vehicle can be controlled, but also the power and handling of the car can be greatly improved.

Of course, the most important goal of lightweight is to "save energy and protect the environment" and reduce the fuel consumption of automobiles. According to the car rotation can be known, the fuel consumption of the vehicle, mainly depends on the displacement of the engine and the total mass of the car, under the premise of maintaining the overall performance, quality and cost of the car unchanged or even optimized, reducing the mass of the vehicle itself can improve the output power of the engine, reduce noise, improve handling, reduce fuel consumption and even improve safety.

It is precisely because of so many advantages that lightweighting will receive more and more attention.

Studies have shown that if the mass of the vehicle is reduced by 10%, the fuel efficiency can be increased by 6% to 8%, and under the same circumstances, when the rolling resistance is reduced by 10%, the fuel efficiency can only be increased by 3%, even if the transmission efficiency of the power transmission is increased by 10%, the fuel efficiency can only be increased by about 7%.

Compared with the latter two cases, it is obviously easier to reduce the mass of the car, and the fuel efficiency can be improved, so from this point of view, the lightweight of the car must be the trend of future car design.
