"Mr. Jiang, I still have one more question, I don't know whether to ask it or not", Kato hesitated for a moment.

"Say, if you have any questions, I will say them all today, and it is rare that I have recently had time to focus on the Guanghui car."

"In terms of capacity planning, I am very much in favor of acquiring land according to the production capacity of 500,000 yuan, so as to avoid the continuous toss in the follow-up", Kato sorted out the language and began to say: "However, I don't think we need to build four lines at once."

"We can't be regarded as all at once, and there is still a certain time lag in the construction cycle of the four lines."

"The difference in the time for each line to be completed is less than half a year, so it's almost all built together," Kato muttered.

Seeing Kato, who was in his fifties, complaining like a child, Jiang Hui also smiled.

"Kato, there is a saying that may not necessarily be very appropriate, which is called following the local customs. In the Celestial Empire, you can't always look at the development law of the island country and the American auto market," Jiang Hui said: "The current auto market in the Celestial Empire is like the Warring States Period, which belongs to the years of competing for hegemony, as long as you dare to fight, you will have a chance to break through."

"But we only have one model in development right now."

"That's another question I'm going to talk to you about today," Jiang Hui said, taking a sip of tea, "I plan to continue to accelerate the expansion of the R&D center and develop three SUVs at the same time."

"It's very difficult to develop three at the same time."

"There are definitely difficulties, but I want to take a shortcut."

"What shortcut?".

"I have already told you just now that our group is planning to acquire Jaguar Land Rover, so I want to directly ask the R&D center to buy a batch of Land Rover models and come back, and reverse develop our own models at the beginning."

The so-called reverse research and development, to put it bluntly, is to directly copy a mature model.

Buy a full-fledged model and dismantle it directly.

The development is basically completed by scanning the data of the vehicle with a three-coordinate scanner to form its own drawing data, and then modifying the particularly difficult parts and optimizing the appearance of a small part.

Reverse development, in fact, is not unique to the Celestial Empire, although it is not a glorious thing, but it is not as shameful as imagined.

In the early days, island cars and Korean cars also did this, and many Japanese and Korean car companies developed in this way.

Reverse research and development can save a lot of time, a model can be developed in about 1 year, and the vehicle can be mass-produced in two or three years.

In this way, there is a huge saving in terms of both financial resources and time.

Of course, reverse research and development saves money and time, but it is bound to bring some undesirable consequences.

For example, there are many matching problems, improper matching of the gearbox and engine, etc., which are all areas that Guanghui Auto needs to pay attention to.

The results of reverse development, judging from later generations, are generally not bad.

"Whether you can drive a luxury car or not depends on Zhong Qin!"

Netizens now often make fun of this sentence. Zhongqin has brought one "surprise" after another to the people on the cottage car, and people have also relied on this to make the company bigger.

"Mr. Jiang, this reverse development is plagiarism, right? Isn't this the work of a small manufacturer? It will get into a lawsuit and damage the company's brand image."

"After our models are developed, Jaguar Land Rover is already a company in our group, we copy ourselves, who will sue us?"

"Uh~ seems to make sense."

"Besides, let's not copy it completely, some of the Land Rover's exterior is a bit outdated, and we can optimize it to make our models look more stylish."

Jiang Hui has seen a lot of all kinds of handsome models in later generations, although it is definitely not that level to let himself design, but it is no problem to draw the general outline and design characteristics of several best-selling good-looking models.

Like SUVs, whether it is Land Rover's own Range Rover, Aurora or Discoverer launched in the future, or the "god car" Tiguan and Tourang, or Toyota's RAV4 and Highlander......

Various models, how many or how many, are enough to support the development and growth of Guanghui Automobile to form its own positive development capabilities.

"So what kind of three models does Mr. Jiang want us to develop at the same time?"

Seeing that Jiang Hui had made up his mind, Kato had no choice but to follow the big boss's train of thought to work.

"In addition to the mid-size SUV currently under development, there will be a mid-to-large SUV and a large SUV."

"Mr. Jiang, can you specifically say which brand of the model we are targeting?"

"We can benchmark the medium and large SUVs against the Highlander, with a 5-seater/7-seater model, and the large SUV can learn from Cadillac's Escalade," Jiang Hui said: "I have some ideas, you wait a while, I will probably draw a picture and communicate with you."

Jiang Hui said as he picked up a pen and paper and began to draw.

There are hills and ravines in the chest, and the pen is like a god!

Jiang Hui was thinking about Toyota's new RAV4 and Highlander and Cadillac's Escalade in 2017, while drawing out the general outline.

Although he can't draw real renderings, Jiang Hui still knows the trend of some curves and the protruding points of the lines.

As half a car fan, Jiang Hui still likes to visit Autohome when he has free time in his previous life to learn about the information of various models.

Although I finally bought a Honda Small Fit, it did not affect my understanding of SUVs.

Seeing Jiang Hui concentrating on drawing, Kato stood next to him and said nothing.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, and Jiang Hui finally drew a few pictures that he thought were a little similar.

"We reverse-engineered the rest of the parts, but I wanted to refer to this drawing as much as possible in terms of appearance," Jiang Hui said, asking Kato to come over and look at the renderings.

"If I hadn't been watching it here, I really couldn't believe that Mr. Jiang, a layman in the automobile industry, could draw such a beautiful model."

"I'm just like a kid's graffiti, it's just a schematic diagram, and you have to ask the styling department to perfect it."

"The most important part of the car styling design is this part, according to Mr. Jiang, you can basically produce renderings," Kato said while looking at the pictures.

The charm of a car is basically determined by the styling.

A model is not beautiful, and it is generally the appearance of the car.

What car a Celestial Empire consumer buys, the first consideration is often whether the car is beautiful or cool.

Only when this premise is met, people will consider whether the price of the car is suitable, what brand it is, how about the power performance, whether the equipment is high, etc.

Otherwise, even if you put a Ferrari engine and equipment in it, it won't work!
