Creating a brand new is not an easy task, product development is key, but there are also a lot of other trivial things.

Taking advantage of the recent free time, Li Yadong temporarily settled in Hailan, and some necessary things must be determined by his boss, and with the "future world" in his mind, he can also give some inspiration to R&D personnel, including designers.

The LOGO of the Longteng brand, Li Yadong told his own creativity, which was well received by the designers - he was inspired by several brands, such as Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, and Hongqi. It is a handsome and mighty five-clawed golden dragon perched on the hood of a vehicle in a longitudinal manner.

This is a three-dimensional figurative design, and on the two-dimensional plane, there is also a slightly abstract design: an oval border on the outside, and a giant dragon entrenched on the inside.

These two logos may be used in the future on the high- and low-end models of the Longteng brand to distinguish the grades.

At present, the design drawings have been finalized and handed over to the workshop for manufacturing, and it is believed that the "Golden Dragon Walk" and the "Dragon Entrenched" made of chrome materials will soon be seen.

Since he thinks of designing the LOGO, Li Yadong will naturally not leave the Tiger brand, this is one thing he ignored before, although the LOGO is small, but it is the face and soul of a brand, and the final finalizer must be him, and outsiders cannot replace it.

For the design of the Tiger brand LOGO, although Li Yadong had some ideas, he didn't feel very good, so he didn't reveal it in advance and handed it over to the designers. In the end, Stephen took the design of a Chinese ink painting "Tiger Roaring Mountains", which Li Yadong was very satisfied with - it is a two-dimensional plane design, with a few strokes, outlining the image of a tiger standing on the edge of a cliff, roaring and roaring.

The feeling on the drawings is really good, and it was handed over to the factory for chrome plating physical manufacturing, whether it will work or not, Li Yadong plans to wait until he has seen the real thing before making a decision.

After solving the LOGO matters of the two brands, Li Yadong held a meeting with several chief designers such as Stephen.

Two things, one is to poach people.

Although there are a lot of personnel in Longteng Design Institute, most of them are apprentices, and there are only dozens of real professional designers, and the scale is still too small. You must know that the design institute at the Solihull factory in the United Kingdom has hundreds of talents.

In fact, Li Yadong deliberately shifted the focus of the design institute from the UK to China, but let people leave their hometowns, even if he is the boss, it is not good to force it too much, the big deal is that people don't do it, where can a good designer not find a job?

Therefore, he hit the idea on Stephen's group of "pioneers", trying to get them to pour some ecstasy on his British compatriots and former colleagues, and he could fool a few. In addition, they also want to use their personal network to poach some talents from the circle.

The second thing is the design of Longteng Motors. Or to "add tasks" to them.

In fact, these two things are somewhat related, with the current talent reserve in the Longteng Design Institute, it is certainly not enough to carry out the design of the "Tiger Marshal" and the Longteng model at the same time, if they want to complete the task, they must "find helpers".

Of course, Li Yadong didn't let them work in vain.

It is pure nonsense to talk about feelings with these British guys at present, so Li Yadong is very self-aware to omit this step and only talk to them about money.

If you help me recruit a designer, I'll give you as much as you want, and it's all extra income, and it's not light. As long as the other party signs the contract, the cash will be distributed immediately, and the RMB will not be liked? It's okay, US dollars or pounds, whatever you choose.

Just ask you if you want to do it?

What else can Stephen and the others say? Fools don't do this kind of thing that can make extra money and share their pressure well.

Don't say it, these foreigners persuade foreigners, but the effect is much better than Li Yadong and others doing ideological work.

In less than two months, more than 50 automotive designers from the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, Canada and other places have arrived at the Longteng base, which has greatly expanded the Longteng Design Institute and made the design of Longteng brand cars smoothly.

……

The year 1989 is coming to an end, and a new era is about to arrive.

Calculating the time, almost two years have passed since the establishment of Hailan Province, and this originally poor and depressed island has been completely lived. The economy is taking off at a visible speed, which is a good thing, but behind this prosperity is the spread of evil.

If a year ago, Hailan real estate was just emerging, then at this time, it has reached a climax. The whole island is bustling, full of construction sites, and housing prices are almost daily under the gourd of builders. Before Hailan was established as a province, the price of land was only a few dozen yuan per square meter, but now, it has soared by more than 1,000, and the price has increased tenfold?

And the crazy momentum continues, with no intention of ending.

Don't brag about it, as long as you have the ability to get a piece of land on this island, you can make money lying down.

Driven by such interests, the wind of corruption in officialdom is becoming stronger and stronger.

People only use cash when they trade – no one is stupid enough to put a large amount of wealth in a national bank in this day and age, and Rao is Li Yadong. In order to make a lot of money, real estate investors often buy in rows, and millions or even tens of millions of cash need to be carried with them.

Bosses are not short of bodyguards, and firearms have become the standard for bodyguards, since there have been several incidents of malicious injuries and robberies, this behavior has even been tacitly acquiesced by the government - if the personal safety of investors is not guaranteed, large sums of money will naturally not be able to settle in Hailan.

The proliferation of guns, coupled with the fact that people who have become rich and have enjoyed themselves so much that they dare to touch even drugs and other things, have led to extremely chaotic social order.

Li Yadong saw it in his eyes and was worried in his heart. One of his huge automobile manufacturing bases is built on the island, and the safety of every employee in it is closely related to him. Let's just say that the hundreds of foreigners in the base, if they don't pay attention to burping, then the matter will be a big deal.

Although he has established a security team, the things in his hands are all batons, how can he beat other people's firearms?

This matter has to be prevented, the country is weak at this time, and it is not trivial for any foreigner to have an accident in China.

"What's wrong? It seems that there is something on your mind, doesn't it mean that the matter here has been dealt with for the time being?" Outside the Wanghai Hotel, on a recliner on the beach, Yan Weixian appeared behind Li Yadong at some point.

"The matter in the base has indeed been dealt with for the time being, but there is one more thing that must be resolved. After Li Yadong turned his head to look at her, he pointed to a couple of men and women playing in the water on the beach.

Yan Weixian looked in the direction of his finger, and soon understood what was going on—the focus was not on the man and woman, but on the two bodyguards behind them, wearing big pants and close-fitting vests, and a pistol at their waists.

"This person's surname is Wang, Pengcheng came to engage in real estate, carried a lot of cash, I heard that our hotel is safe, I have been living here, I should have brought four bodyguards, it is estimated that there are two more in the room. ”

Li Yadong sighed: "Now it's because there are too many guys like this, so the security of Hailan is very turbulent." ”

"Are you worried about the Longteng base? Why don't you go and find Boss Hu?"

Li Yadong waved his hand and said: "I'm not worried about the base, but I'm worried about the people in the base, it's okay to say that they want to stay in the base and not come out, but how is that possible? Especially those foreigners, if they come out and wander around, get into some trouble, and are shot and destroyed, it is not a trivial matter." I will definitely go for a trip to Hu Shengbiao's side, but it's not enough, Hailan has a lot of cross-river dragons now, and not necessarily everyone will sell his account. This matter has to start with the Hailan government, I want to give them a wake-up call, if something happens to my people, they don't think about it!"

Yan Weixian nodded subconsciously, she didn't feel that her words were very arrogant, and she knew that with the energy of the man in front of her, as long as it was his words, even if it was the Hailan government, she had to take it seriously.

"It's a good idea, whether it's a local snake like Boss Hu or a foreign dragon crossing the river, they don't dare to do anything against the government, as long as the government comes forward to explain this matter to them, no one should feel uncomfortable with themselves. Do you need me to arrange that?"

"It's fine. Li Yadong nodded and said, "It's in our hotel, and ask those guys to come over for dinner." ”

"Good. After Yan Weixian responded, she went to arrange.

It seems that it is a normal thing to call the provincial leaders to come over for dinner, and it seems that they must also be there, and there is no reason to refuse.

Even Li Yadong didn't realize that before he knew it, he already had the right to have a relaxed dialogue with the leaders of a province.

The point is, the word "easy".
