002: Creative divergence
After the Universe Electric Company moved into Huishi, the funds for the new plant production line must be paid by the Universe Head Office.
Because this decision was proposed by Zhao Tian, although Huang Houcai has a certain share, he has almost no right to speak.
But Zhao Tian considered that now is the time to employ people, if because of his own decision, let Huang Houcai re-invest 30% of the reconstruction funds, he may not be willing. It was decided to let the head office wholly own and rebuild the electric company.
After this investment, 500 million of the remaining 900 million were spent.
As for the operating funds, Huang Houcai has already seen the courage and potential of the Universe Company, if he continues to do such a small citizen habit, I don't know if Zhao Tian will kick himself out one day. With this fear in his heart, he painfully took out 100 million yuan as the operating capital of the new electric company, so as to confirm his identity as a shareholder.
Zhao Tianzi didn't say much.
With the full support of all aspects, the planning time only takes three months to re-put into production, which makes the big stone in Zhao Tian's heart fall to the ground.
After all, the electrical company is now the main source of income for the entire company, and without financial support, no matter how good the technology is, it is in vain.
After arranging the electric company, Zhao Tian's main focus was on the automobile business.
After a discussion, the new model has been trial-produced by Wei Jianping's technical team after several months of hard work by Wei Jianping's technical team.
An empty shell prototype, of course.
As soon as the overall shape of the prototype was born, almost all the R&D members of the Cosmos Company had reservations.
There is no other reason, it is that the shape is too weird.
The first is the position of the mirrors on both sides, which are raised by at least 10 centimeters and angled to the driver's seat compared to the normal model.
In doing so, you must want to see the situation on both sides of the model more comprehensively. The goal was achieved, but the appearance was strange.
In addition, the driver's seat is very different from the other passenger seat. The height of the driver's seat is also about 15 centimeters higher than that of the passenger seat.
However, in this design, Lu Xiangfei added his own creativity and designed the driver's seat into a mode that can be raised and lowered, which is probably also to meet the old drivers who have driving habits.
With these seemingly minor changes, the new model has reduced a lot of blind spots in the driver's view.
But one thing is deadliest.
Habit issues.
It's like sleeping with your daughter-in-law all day long, and suddenly one day is gone, and when you are alone, you can't grasp the fleshy parts in your hands, which must be extremely uncomfortable and difficult to sleep.
The same is true for drivers who usually look at the position of the mirrors on both sides when driving, and have almost developed a fixed field of vision, and suddenly changing places will definitely bring some trouble to many people.
This is also the reason why most of the R&D personnel of the Cosmos Company have reservations about the new model.
According to Zhao Tianzhi's opinion, bad habits need to be broken, and bad habitual thinking also needs to be changed.
In terms of the concept of building a car, Zhao Tian found for the first time that he and all the technicians in the company began to have differences.
This time, the situation was the same as when Zhao Tian and Wei Jianping checked the first clay model together.
However, because this time it was a prototype, almost all the executives in the company appeared in the test room with Zhao Tian.
At the scene, a group of people was divided into three waves.
A group of technicians are each with their arms on their chests, and their eyes are full of strange eyes for the prototype car they have built, as if they are looking at a freak again.
Wei Jianping and Lu Xiangfei were like the commentators at the scene, introducing every data and design concept of the new model one by one.
Behind Zhao Tian, there were seven or eight executives standing together with Lao Chang, who were also full of curiosity and incomprehension about the new model.
It's just that about the position of the mirrors on the new model and the driver's seat, this group of technicians seems to be very dissatisfied with Zhao Tian's novel creativity.
Someone even pointed out on the spot: The car is caused by this appearance, I am afraid that no one will buy it.
Zhao Tian's face was dark, and the atmosphere was a little cold.
It's the same thing, seeing that the atmosphere is not right, he hurriedly walked out of the group of executives and whispered to Zhao Tian: "Zhao Dong borrowed a step to speak." ”
Zhao Tian walked out of the testing room with him and went to an open place outside the field.
As soon as he came out, Lao Chang took out a beautiful cigarette case, skillfully took out two cigarettes decorated with dragon statues on the cigarette butts, and handed one to Zhao Tian.
Well, Zhao Tian learned to smoke.
People will always learn to smoke when things are not going well.
As the smoke rose, Lao Chang opened the conversation and said: "Zhao Dong, regarding the change of some parts on the new model, I think this matter really needs to be discussed!"
Zhao Tianjian's eyebrows condensed: "What do you mean?"
Lao Chang answered: "Look, starting from the creativity of automotive technology, you must be much more professional than me, after all, Zhao Dong, your technical ability is beyond doubt." The old words made Zhao Tianru's eyebrows a little slackened.
"But what is the current situation of our company, you must know better than anyone else. I mean, our company's first car into the market, and even the first few cars, are all for the purpose of profit, after all, the company's capital is still not very sufficient. ”
"If you rashly use this kind of model with new ideas and new habits to put on the market now, and the consumer acceptance is relatively high, it is the best, but what if the consumer does not accept it?
The old words are sincere.
Zhao Tian also listened to it.
The market is the touchstone of the eternal creativity.
It's just that the Cosmos Company is not afraid to bet now, but it can't bet.
According to the investment of a car, the minimum amount of hundreds of millions of funds is also something that cannot be ignored by the Cosmos Company at present.
Zhao Tian took a deep puff of his cigarette, and a dazzling red light emitted from the cigarette butt.
He was moved by the old talk.
If it fails, with Zhao Tian's idea, it's a big deal to sell a few more engines.
But what he wants more now is the market's recognition of him.
Seeing that Zhao Tian was silent for a long time, Lao Chang persuaded: "If it really doesn't work, can you think of a compromise method?"
Zhao Tiantou raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lao Chang said: "Although I don't know too much about technology, but from the shape of the new model just now, it can be seen that the biggest problem now is the problem of reflectors and seats. ”
Grabbing a long hair that had not been repaired for a long time, Zhao Tian decided to adopt the old saying.
The most important thing now is to develop the Cosmos Corporation first, and let's talk about the rest later.
Otherwise, the humiliation of the bereaved dog that he once suffered can only be humiliation.
