"Good morning, boss. ”

The morning sun shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and pours into the neat and exquisite living room, Huang Deping gets up from the sofa and greets Li Yadong, who has just come downstairs.

This small villa was rented by Li Yadong for him, and it is not large, covering an area of about 90 square meters, but it has two floors, and the advantage is that it is close to the Solihull factory. So Jack and the others could only stay in the hotel.

The reason for this is that Li Yadong has rearranged Huang Deping's work, and until a more suitable person is found, he will temporarily serve as the general director of the Solihull factory.

If he wants, he can also take his wife and two daughters over to live, and Li Yadong can arrange it, but he said he didn't have to, so he went with him.

He has always been mature and steady, and has his own opinions, which is deeply valued by Li Yadong, thinking about it, there is indeed no more suitable person than him at present.

As for Hong Kong's Dongfanghong Real Estate Company, it can only be temporarily handed over to Jack to manage.

"Early. Have you eaten it?" Li Yadong nodded and asked with a smile.

"Not yet. ”

The maid had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the table, and Huang Deping was obviously waiting for him.

"Let's eat together, just to tell you something. ”

"Good. ”

While the two of them were enjoying a hearty breakfast, Li Yadong said: "Your current priorities are two. First, find out the equipment in the factory and the suppliers behind it. For the same equipment, I need to buy a complete set and send it to the manufacturing base of Hailan, which I want to build into the Asian factory of the Land Rover brand. Second, the issue of talent. You need to try to draw some people from various positions without affecting the normal operation of the factory here, so that they can go to work in Hailan in the future. The issue of treatment can be increased, and you will talk about the specific details. ”

"Okay, boss. Is there a time limit?" asked Huang Deping, who always had this habit of asking for time every time he got a new task.

Although this is only a small detail, it can also show that he takes his work seriously.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yadong replied: "It's not an overnight thing, so much equipment needs to be transported, and it can't be completed in one trip, you try to arrange it, but I hope that before the Lunar New Year, the first batch of equipment and the first batch of foreign employees can settle in Hailan." ”

"Clear, I'll take care of it. ”

After breakfast, Huang Deping led the pioneer car to the factory.

Don't ask where the car came from.

Li Yadong stayed at home and made a few phone calls.

His current industry is very scattered, and it is impossible to do everything by himself, and he can't use the doppelganger technique, but it is still necessary to pay attention to it every once in a while.

Everything is normal in Hong Kong, that is his base camp, there are many talents, and there will be no chaos under normal circumstances.

The construction of Dongfanghong Square in the capital was a little behind, which made him have to call the China Construction Bureau after contacting Jiang Tengfei, urging them to speed up the progress.

The last call reached Hailan, and Zhu Yunfu waited for him for some time, and his voice was very excited: "Brother, I heard that you won the two major brands of Land Rover and Jaguar in the United Kingdom?"

"Oh, it's very well-informed, how do you know?" asked Li Yadong curiously.

After he acquired Land Rover and Jaguar, the news at home and abroad paid a little attention, knowing that the spread of this news in China is not wide, and the Chinese people will not care too much even if they know. And Zhu Yunfu only knew that he went abroad to "hunt", and he didn't know much about the details.

"Of course, I listened to the people in the Hailan leadership team, they can pay attention to our company now, and they will send people to take a look every once in a while. Zhu Yunfu replied with a smile.

"I see. Li Yadong understood, suddenly thought of the purpose of his call, and said: "That's the best, Brother Zhu, you find a time to contact the Hailan government as soon as possible, and let them allocate all the vacant land around our base to us, it doesn't matter if it's a small hill, and it will all be pushed in the future." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yunfu was surprised and asked busily, "Why do you still need land, our current 200 acres of factory buildings are all empty here, is it not enough?"

"Not enough, far from enough. Li Yadong said with a smile, "Brother Zhu, you didn't come to the UK to see, you know people...... Oh, it's time to say me. Do you know how big my factory is here? It's 150 hectares, that's 2,250 acres, and 200 acres over there is nothing, and it's not worth one-tenth of the scale here. In the past, I also imagined that car manufacturing was too simple, this thing occupies an area, very occupied, so our stall is still too small, and we have to take advantage of the cheap land price now and expand it on a large scale, otherwise it will not be able to meet our needs in the future. ”

"Two thousand two hundred and fifty acres?" Zhu Yunfu screamed, obviously frightened.

"yes. The area of the Hailan base is not enough for a vehicle assembly plant here, so it must be expanded. If you go to negotiate with the Hailan government, that is, to demolish the nearby residents, and to demolish at least 200 hectares of land for me, you tell them that I want to introduce the Land Rover brand to China and build Hailan into a Land Rover production base in Asia, and they will not disagree. ”

"Asian production base?!" Zhu Yunfu only felt that he had been frightened in his life as much as he had been today.

"What's wrong, isn't it good? Sea Blue is surrounded by water, just near the South China Sea, connecting to the Pacific Ocean, with Sea Blue as the center, transported by sea, enough to radiate the whole of Southeast Asia. ”

"Good...... It's good, it's just ...... The more we study, the more we feel the technical difficulty of building a car, with such basic conditions, is it appropriate for you to play so big at once?" Zhu Yunfu asked weakly.

"Haha......" Li Yadong laughed and said, "Brother Zhu, are you cowardly?"

"Who...... Who...... Well, I'll admit I'm a bit cowardly. Zhu Yunfu sighed and said: "I don't know if I don't study it, I was shocked when I studied it, the structure inside the two Daben is completely different from the liberation cars I repaired in the past, I haven't seen many things, and I don't know what to do with them, especially electronic equipment, I don't know anything." I can't figure it out, so how can I make it?"

"Brother Zhu, don't be cowardly, don't you still have me?" Li Yadong said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have already thought of these troubles you encountered." To tell you the good news, the first batch of Land Rover car manufacturing equipment will be shipped to Hailan before the end of the year at the earliest. In addition, I will also send some professional technicians from this factory. So, there's nothing you can't play with, just follow along and learn when the time comes. ”

"Really?!" Zhu Yunfu was overjoyed.

"Then there is a fake? You just wait to accept the equipment and personnel, the factory and dormitory that should be arranged, arrange it in advance, these foreigners have requirements for the quality of life, you discuss with Sister Yan, decorate their residence, and then equip some living facilities or something, it is not easy for people to give up the superior life in China and run to our poor countryside. There is also the matter of expanding the scale of the base, don't forget, the next land of Hailan will definitely become more and more expensive. ”

"I said, brother, you can put a hundred hearts, you are working the battlefield ahead, I can still do a good job of logistics support, I will get you properly. ”

"That's good. ”

After making the call, Li Yadong grabbed a car key from the wooden coffee table, said goodbye to the maid and went out.

Outside the door is a big silver-grey guy – Land Rover's latest Range Rover model. But to be honest, from the perspective of Li Yadong, a future person, not to mention ugly, it always feels a little old-fashioned, and it is not worthy of the title of the world's top off-road brand.

The car is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 alloy engine, which is really powerful, and when you press the accelerator, you have a strong push back feeling. However, the fuel consumption is also really high.

Li Yadong sighed and roared all the way to the Solihull factory, two kilometers away.

Huang Deping has his own things to do, and he also has his own things to do.

Jack and the others have already come from the hotel, wandering around the factories one by one, not knowing what to do, and Li Yadong also plans to let them go back to Hong Kong in the near future.

"Jack, come with me to the design institute. "Anyway, he was fine, so he was arrested by Li Yadong to be a strong man, because he needed a translator.

"Oh, good. ”

The two of them drove to the design institute, a five-story streamlined building, unique in the whole factory, you can see from afar, there are more than 600 professional designers in it, which is a valuable asset in his hands.

However, the inspiration and creativity of these talents are still too old-fashioned and need a little bit of dialing.

And that person, naturally, is him.

The boss personally visited, so that the staff in the design institute immediately entered the state of full attention, and the senior leaders came to the door to greet them.

The two people led by Li Yadong have already met yesterday, one is called Davis and the other is Stephen, who are the first and second leaders of the design institute.

Accompanied by them, Li Yadong inspected the entire design institute and learned about the future model trend of the Land Rover brand.

"Boss, what do you think?" Davis asked with a smug expression, pointing to a one-to-one clay model of the Land Rover Defender placed in the center.

This is a full-region hard-core off-road vehicle that they are designing and developing, which is expected to be released in two years, not bragging, can be directly put on the battlefield for military vehicle use, standard tough guy configuration, mainly in the European and American markets.

"Do you want me to tell the truth?" Li Yadong looked at him with a light smile.

This made Davis couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Stephen beside him.

This is their most proud work in recent years, and the British government likes it very much, and has been urging them to speed up the progress.

Could it be that Orientals don't like this hard-core tone?

This is the only explanation.

"Boss, of course, we are happy to accept your guidance. Davis squeezed a smile on his face and said something insincere.

In fact, what I thought in my heart was: you say, even if you say something rotten, I won't change it much, I'm sorry to change a light bulb for you, I'm a principled designer!

"The idea is good, and the car is a good car, but if I know the situation well, you want to make it the main model of the Land Rover in the future, right?"

"Of course, such a perfect car, like a star in the night sky, as the main model, is not too much, it has the ability to challenge all off-road vehicles in its class. Davis looked at the huge clay model in front of him, and a reveled car returned.

"That's the problem. There was a mistake in the direction, and as I said earlier, I do not deny that it is a very good car, masculine and domineering, suitable for galloping all over the region, and at the first sight of it, a scene comes to my mind: a muscular tough guy driving it through the desolate Gobi, as if walking on flat ground. But I would venture to ask, how many people in this world like to explore the wilderness, is it because of them, or is there more people in the city who live by the rules? Can you imagine that the streets of London are all Land Rover Defenders? I can't imagine it. The reason is simple: because that scenario is impossible. Therefore, this car can only become a benchmark and a sharp weapon under the company, but it is destined to become the main sales model, and the market will not pay for its large-scale sales. ”

After Li Yadong's words were finished, everyone at the scene had different expressions, Jack deeply agreed, Stephen was thoughtful, Davis looked a little hesitant, and after a little silence, he said a little unconvinced: "Boss, with all due respect, if you don't take it as the next flagship model, can you still find a more suitable new model?"

"What do you say?" Li Yadong smiled and said, "Bring the plan you are designing and go to the office for a meeting." ”

It's time for you to get a taste of the Land Rover of the 21st century.
