"Boss, how are you feeling?" asked Stephen with a smile.

"Hmm...... Yes, very good!" Li Yadong looked around the huge clay model carefully, his face full of smiles.

When Stephen heard this, he immediately became relieved, and as for the others next to him, they laughed happily.

After getting along for more than two months, everyone present knows very well what a person the boss is, and he can use the word "very good" to describe it, which means that he is really satisfied with the design results in front of him.

It's not in vain that they have been working with their butts cocked day and night for so long.

"It seems that there is really nothing wrong, do you see any disharmony from the three-dimensional modeling?" Li Yadong walked around, and after several circles, he stopped and looked at the designers and asked.

Everyone shook their heads, even from their professional point of view, it was a perfect work.

"Boss, I'm not going to hide it, I've doubled it hundreds of times, and every design seems to complement each other, and there really are no obvious flaws. It's a masterpiece that doesn't lend itself to a major change, even in the future. Even, I personally think ......"

Stephen wanted to speak and stopped, but Li Yadong said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"I think it's a bit of a waste to put this model under the Tiger brand, and it can be placed under the Land Rover brand as a new global model after proper sizing. ”

"yes, actually, I think that way, too. ”

"Huh...... Mr. Stephen's thoughts are the same as mine, this model is really high-grade, and it does seem a bit wasteful to sell it as a local model in China. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Stephen's words caused a lot of echoes from the designers present, and it was surprising that they all had this idea.

"Alright. Li Yadong smiled and waved his hand, and said angrily: "Don't take China as an improper market, whether you believe it or not, I can predict here that China will definitely be one of the world's top automobile consumer markets in the future in the future, if this car can really be popular in China, then my goal has been achieved, if consumers in other countries like it, it will be better, can't the Tiger brand be exported abroad?"

"This ......"

A group of British designers looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't respond much. They really can't think of any country that will import cars from China.

Of course, if you want to talk about some small countries such as old country and Myanmar next to it. Then when they don't think about anything, it is difficult to say whether the country's car consumption capacity can make up for the cost of transportation and channel expansion.

Li Yadong didn't bother to explain anything to this group of guys, in fact, China has never been a country favored by the world.

It can even be said that socialism, in the eyes of the majority of the world, is itself a false social structure.

But guess what?

China is still rich!

China is still strong!

I just jumped out of my own way!

This point, in this world, I am afraid that only Li Yadong knows it at present.

Why did he get the Tiger brand?

Yes, with the handsome fashion appearance, even if it is placed in the Land Rover brand camp, it is not inconsistent. But after all, it is Land Rover, a brand created by the British, and its roots are there.

It is not in line with his original intention of developing a national independent brand.

Again, if the big handsome is placed under the Land Rover brand, how should he build it? How much should it be sold for? Can Chinese afford it in this era?

Sell for 250,000?

The only consequence of this move is to bury Land Rover, the world's top off-road brand, and also contradict his brand positioning of Land Rover as "Rolls-Royce of SUVs".

Therefore, whether it is for the development of the national automobile industry, or based on the development prospects of the Land Rover brand, the creation of the Tiger brand is a necessary move.

In fact, he took the opposite path to the Chinese automakers that would follow. In the future, several domestic automobile giants, due to the constraints of capital, environment, technology and other factors, will develop from civilian to high-end, such as Geely to Lynk & Co, Haval to Great Wall and then to EY. But he started from a higher point and directly omitted this long history of brand evolution.

To be reasonable, the "Tiger" brand, which was born from the world's top off-road brand "Land Rover" technology, is not surprising, as long as it is launched, it will definitely be popular among the Chinese people.

Because such an independent car brand tailored for the Chinese, with first-class technology and moderate price, is unique when looking at the land of 9.6 million square kilometers.

……

Since there is no problem with the appearance of the Tiger Marshal, the rest of the things will be easy to do.

Of course, it is relatively easy to do it relative to Li Yadong, because he has nothing to meddle in next.

For structural designers, including mechanical designers, it is not easy at all.

As a very simple example, such a large thing, according to the boss's wishes, has to use a 2.3L displacement engine to pull it. This makes designers always feel like a small horse-drawn cart.

But this is the boss's hard standard, they are powerless to change, what they can change is how to make this 2.3L engine, with the gearbox and other related parts, burst out more powerful.

This is obviously not an easy task, and it takes a long time to design and adjust.

Li Yadong set a deadline for them: one and a half years. Within a year and a half, he was going to see a prototype.

It's a bit of a persecution, but they are now working in China, not in the UK, and they are also paid double wages, but they can no longer be like when they worked in the UK, and they have to do big things in a few days, the Chinese have always been hard-working, and in the base, examples abound around them.

Of course, it is also a little difficult for these British to change their comfortable working state in the past and enter the rhythm of China all at once, and it is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Li Yadong played a policy of radish and stick.

In addition to this, there is also a reward system: if they can complete the project on time and there are no major problems with the prototype. Each designer involved in the design will be promised a generous bonus, plus two months of paid vacation.

In this way, it can be regarded as balancing the dissatisfaction in their hearts to a large extent.

The reason why they came to China is nothing more than to make more money, and in this case, it seems reasonable to spend more time on work.

Besides, they don't have any friends or relatives here, and they don't really have much need for leisure and entertainment.

Staying on Hailan's side until the end of June, the third batch of Land Rover manufacturing equipment shipped from Britain has also been in place, Li Yadong urged the workers to install and debug for a while, the work that should be done is basically done, and they are ready to leave the island.

He had to rush to the capital, where he had three things that he needed to deal with urgently. First, Dongfanghong Square has been completed, waiting for him to come over for acceptance. Second, news came from Kong Siqing's side a week ago that it was the matter of the land of the automobile factory, and that he had already helped him find it, and he was waiting for him to inspect it. Third, Jiang Tengfei is getting married, and the invitation has been sent, and the date is set for July 9th.

Of course, before going to the capital, he must first go back to Hong Kong.

I left my mother and sister there for more than two months, and I didn't have time to go back to see it during that time.

Regarding Zhang Chunxi's work, Li Yadong has also made arrangements. He was interested in making cars, and originally intended to stay at the Hailan Longteng base, but Li Yadong still took him away and planned to throw him to the capital, where if the construction site started, there was a lack of a supervisor.

He now has a lot of employees under his hands, but there are not many people who know the roots, and everyone who can be fully trusted, he wants to use it on the blade.

……

When he returned to the Li family's villa on Taiping Mountain again, Li Yadong suddenly felt like he was back at home - home here does not refer to the country, but to the remote mountain village thousands of kilometers away.

It's the first time I've had this feeling, and sure enough, his mother is there, and that's home.

"Kiki, come, come to my uncle. As soon as Li Yadong got out of the car, he saw a small trot out of the villa, and when he saw it, it was his niece Qiqi, who hadn't seen her for two months, and the little girl could already walk, and she walked quite steadily.

"Uncle ......"

Even spoke a lot, which made Li Yadong very happy, trotted over to pick her up, and kissed her a few times.

Everyone in the family is there, because it is a weekend, and the little scalper and Li Tingting are also there, so it is not lively.

It is worth mentioning that the little scalper has officially graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and he wants to go to work in Dongfanghong Group and intends to engage in the financial industry.

After Hu Xiuying and Li Dongmei stayed in Hong Kong for half a year, the changes are not small, Li Dongmei is already dressed as a rich young grandmother, Hu Xiuying does not dare to dress up like her, and the hard-working temperament cultivated for decades is not that it can be changed.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as his mother is happy, he should exercise.

Li Yadong can obviously feel that his mother's complexion has improved a lot, and her face has become a little rounder, it seems that this kind of dual recuperation of medicine and ingredients has indeed achieved results.

"Xiaodong, I'm thinking...... I've been here for a long time, so it's time to go back. At the dinner table, Hu Xiuying said with some hesitation.

She naturally knew that her son and granddaughter didn't want her to go, including her daughter, who didn't seem to be in a hurry to go back, but she was really homesick. I miss the cats and dogs at home, the kitchen and fields at home, and the neighbors at home......

It's good to live in Hong Kong, you don't have to worry about anything, you have to open your mouth and clothes to stretch out your hands, but life is too comfortable, which always makes her feel unreal. After thinking about it, I still feel that the poor nest at home is more realistic, and I can live at ease.

"Mother, why do you suddenly mention this, didn't the seeds in your backyard vegetable garden just be sown, you have to wait for the vegetables to grow, if you are gone, who will take care of it?" Li Yadong can guess some of his mother's psychology, but even if his mother is homesick, he can't let her go back for the time being. Because there is no one to take care of you when you go back, it is not easy to regulate your body.

"It's okay in the vegetable garden, I looked, the soil is quite fat, just water it every once in a while. ”

When Li Yadong was about to say something, Li Tingting had already interjected: "No." Grandma, if you say that you will go back together for the New Year, you can't talk and don't count. ”

"Oh, silly girl, grandma's ...... It's not that you can't get used to it, wait for grandma to come home and pick up, raise some chickens and ducks in the second half of the year, plant some vegetables or something, and you will have to eat when you go home for the New Year. Hu Xiuying smiled bitterly.

"No, you'd rather not eat it, just want grandma to be here with me. ”

Li Tingting is much more effective than Li Yadong, hanging her grandmother's hand to death, playing a scoundrel. But guess what, Hu Xiuying still eats this set.

"Alas...... Okay, okay, then stay for another two months, stay for another two months......"

I really didn't withdraw this eldest granddaughter. Hu Xiuying touched her skull lovingly.
