With a partner like Audi, Zhou Jingming can better make Tianming Automobile Company based on the European and American markets, and from the current situation, Zhou Jingming's purpose has indeed been achieved.

However, joint ventures are not the right way to become bigger and stronger, and if you want to achieve the scale of Volkswagen and General Motors, in addition to accumulating strength in the domestic market, in overseas markets, independent construction of production bases is also the only way to expand the scale of production.

With these foundations laid by the Phoenix car, Zhou Jingming is confident that he will embark on an independent development path through the Kirin car.

And no matter how difficult it is, this is the stage that Tianming Automobile Company will go through, and after the wind and rain, it will be a rainbow!

"Okay, I got it. Zhou Jingming said so, and Brant also knew what he wanted to express, so he didn't continue to ask.

"In the future, we will definitely have opportunities for in-depth cooperation, not necessarily in the field of commodities and technologies. Zhou Jingming smiled, Audi still has many unique technologies in the automotive field, such as full-time four-wheel drive, and it is still necessary for Tianming Automobile Company to cooperate with Audi in the field of technology.

After arranging things here, Zhou Jingming returned to China the next day.

Tianming Automobile Company.

Although he has been staying abroad during this time, Zhou Jingming has always been clear about the research and development progress of the Kirin car, before he went to Germany, the entire new car development project, the remaining rotary engine has not been completely completed, and all the rest of the development sub-projects have been completed.

Through the efforts of Luo Yuzhong and others, coupled with the assistance of Mazda's technical personnel, the rotary engine independently developed by Tianming Automobile Company has also been successfully launched.

In this way, the entire development project of the Kirin car has come to an end, and after the trial installation and road test, the Kirin car has fully met the conditions for official road driving.

In the test workshop of Nuoda, the Kirin sedan that has just passed the road running experiment is placed in the middle of the workshop, in order to prevent it from being leaked out before the release, the outside of the body is wrapped with a layer of black and white striped tape, and all the important places on the body are covered.

Although the whole body is wrapped, but if you look closely, you can still feel the beautiful lines and sharp front face of this car, strictly speaking, this car is the first car with complete intellectual property rights of Tianming Automobile Company, the last Phoenix brand car, is still designed with the help of Shencheng brand car.

However, compared with the Phoenix brand car, the development cycle of the Kirin car is much shorter, from the initial project to the official release soon, in fact, it is not even a year. Despite this, this Kirin sedan is definitely not inferior to the Phoenix sedan in terms of configuration and manufacturing process, and even in terms of specific configuration, the Kirin sedan is far superior to the Phoenix car.

Of course, the biggest selling point of this car, of course, is the rotary engine, as the first domestic car driven by a rotary engine, the Kirin sedan in the power performance is perfect, the maximum speed of 292 kilometers per hour, 100 kilometers of acceleration time is only 8.8 seconds, the same level of B-class cars, even Audi A4 is not comparable to this Kirin sedan.

Although the technology of the rotary engine is inherited from Mazda, compared with all models of rotary engines currently mass-produced by Mazda, the rotary engine independently developed by Tianming Automobile solves the inherent defects of high fuel consumption and high pollution of the rotary engine to a large extent, so that the fuel economy of this engine has also been improved to a new level.

Of course, more importantly, the current price of this car is only 100,000 yuan, no more, no less, 100,000 yuan!

The top power configuration of the rotary engine plus the automatic manual gearbox, the price is only 100,000 yuan, although I dare not say that it is the price of cabbage, but in the world market, among the cars of the same level, the cost performance of the Kirin sedan must be the best one!

"Senior brother, how are the preparations for the press conference?" Zhou Jingming asked while standing in front of the car.

"It's all ready, the venue has already been arranged, and the relevant news media, I have also invited it, and Dragon TV will also be there to shoot when the time comes. Zhao Ke on the side replied with a smile.

"Dragon TV?" Zhou Jingming looked at Zhao Ke with some surprise, "Senior brother, you can actually invite Dragon TV to participate in our new car launch conference?"

This is what Director Li meant, he said that this is our company's first truly self-developed car, and we want the people of the whole country to know about the sale of this car, so on the day of the press conference, Dragon TV will broadcast the whole process. Zhao Ke replied with a smile.

can let Dragon TV broadcast the whole new car press conference, Zhao Ke himself does not have such a big energy.

"Then we have to be ready, otherwise I'm sorry for Director Li's intentions. ”

With the passage of time, the day of the Kirin car press conference is getting closer and closer, and Zhou Jingming also took advantage of the past few days to inspect the on-site layout of the press conference to ensure that everything can go smoothly on the day of the press conference.

The time soon came on June 10, 1989, and the new car launch of the second model of Tianming Automobile Company, the Kirin car, officially kicked off at the Shencheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Mainstream media outlets from major cities across the country, including official media such as People's Daily and Xinhua Daily, have all sent reporters to witness this historic moment.

In the ups and downs of the development of China's automobile industry for more than 30 years, there are only two national cars of their own brands, a Hongqi car and a Phoenix (Shencheng brand) car, and the upcoming Kirin car will be the third independent brand car in the history of our country!

From the emergence of the first self-owned brand car (Hongqi car, born in 1958) to the second self-owned brand car (Phoenix brand car, born in 1963), China only took five years, but from the second self-owned brand car to the third self-owned brand car, China has gone through 26 years of time!

From "five years" to "twenty-six years", China's automobile industry has completed a gorgeous turn, so far, the Oriental lion that has been sleeping for decades will reign in the world with an unstoppable trend!

In addition to media reporters, celebrities from all walks of life in Shencheng were also invited to attend, and the deputy mayor in charge of economic development also attended the press conference for the Kirin car.

And Lee Ming-che is on behalf of the Ministry of Mechanics to cheer for this car.

The time soon came to nine o'clock, and the new car press conference of the Kirin car also officially began, after the deputy mayor of Shencheng and Li Mingzhe delivered speeches respectively, Zhou Jingming, as the chief designer of the Kirin car, stood in the middle of the booth.

"If I'm not mistaken, our Tianming Automobile officially launched the Phoenix sedan last year, and after a year, we brought another car, the Kirin sedan, to meet you again, along the way, I have always been very grateful to the leaders, family and friends who supported me and helped me, this car is a gift to all of you. ”

…………

"When I first went abroad, I went to German Volkswagen, at that time there was a technician in German Volkswagen who looked down on our Chinese automobile industry, I did not say anything to him, but convinced him with practical actions, and later, I met a General Motors manager, when talking about American cars, his arrogance and pride were written on his face, I was thinking, one day, we Chinese self-designed cars, also on your American soil, full of streets!"

"And this Kirin sedan is the beginning of the dream, I want every Chinese family to be able to afford to drive the car we produce, and let every foreigner be proud to drive the car we produce!"
