After Ye Kai sent Harry away, he stayed in Malaysia for another day, and then, accompanied by Curry and Kerr, he transferred to the country of sticks to inspect the factory established in Busan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a short stay in Busan, Ye Kai first called the contact person left by the Swiss bank to his Frankfurt branch, and then also informed Hans of his own flight, and then got on the plane to Duguo.

After more than 10 hours of flight, Ye Kai successfully arrived at the Farakfurt International Airport in the independent country, at the exit of the airport, Ye Kai met Yas, the liaison officer of the branch set up by the Swiss Bank in Frankfurt, Yas is a local, with a slightly curly short hair, and Ye Kai after a few brief greetings with Ye Kai in an old-fashioned and polite manner, he drove Ye Kai to Neckarsum City, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Frankfurt and is located in the southeast of Baden-Württemberg.

The company's headquarters and factory are located in the city of Neckarsum.

Different from the photos disclosed on the Internet in the previous life, the current headquarters building of Aodi company looks very dilapidated, and there are not many personnel, and the faces of the staff in a hurry do not look very good, after all, the company has undergone reorganization, acquisition, sale, and resale, and now it is the third time it has been acquired, and the old employees inside are a little worried about the future of their company.

And that large factory made Ye Kai, who was accustomed to seeing a clean, tidy, orderly, and automated mode in his previous life, frown.

Although the company was acquired, it is still in production because the sales of the Aodi 100 and 200 and the 500 sold to the United States are still in production due to the internal code name of the C2 platform.

Ye Kai looked at the new car that had been parked in the test site for a long time, with a rectangular front face, a rectangular rear face, and a decent body, pulled the door, looked at the decoration inside and the simple center console and instrument panel, shook his head, and closed the door. The lawyer team behind him, Hans, the person in charge of the factory, and the R&D team all looked at Ye Kai's actions inexplicably, and when they saw Ye Kai shaking his head, the hearts of the relevant personnel were raised, because Hans had told them that the Asian man in front of him was a representative of the company involved in Hans's acquisition, and in short, he would be one of their bosses.

Ye Kai checked inside from time to time along the traffic flow, and recalled the information of the Aodi C2 platform in his mind.

The second-generation Audi 100 was launched in 1976, and the most distinctive feature of this generation is that it is equipped with an advanced 2.1-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine, and the exterior styling is more up-to-date. The first touring version of the Avant was also introduced in 1977. The fastback styling Coupe S model was scrapped, and the C2 Austroi 100 retained the four-door and two-door sedans, and in 1977 a five-door touring version of the "100Avant" was added. This generation of Audi 100 was also sold in North America at the time, named Audi 5000.

At this time, Audi also launched the Audi 100's top-of-the-line model, the Audi 200, which not only has more and more luxurious cabin equipment, but also uses a 2.1L five-cylinder turbocharged engine. This model also laid the foundation for the later performance models, and from 1976 to 1982, the Audi 100C2 (including the Audi 200 and the Audi 5000 in the United States) sold more than 850,000 units, continuing the success of the first generation in the market.

But this success is only compared to the time when Aodi was under the banner of Mercedes-Benz, you must know that this model has been sold for 6 years, only 850,000 units, almost 12.5 units a year, to feed so many workers, pay for research and development expenses, relative to the development of the entire company, this number is actually not enough, only equivalent to the sales of BMW in a relatively small continent in the previous life.

Therefore, Volkswagen will be so happy to throw off the Aodi company like a burden, if the previous life Aodi began to make a name for himself in the world, do you think he will sell?

In the previous life, Aodi only began to launch the C3 platform in 82 years, and the new C3 platform Aodi 100 is a classic of this car series, this generation of models also has high visibility in China, and it is most memorable for its elegant streamlined design. In the first half of the 80s, European automakers were working on the issue of how to change the aerodynamic characteristics of vehicles. With a drag coefficient of 0.30 at the time, the main purpose of Aodit's design was to make it less resistant and more stable at high speeds.

In terms of power, this generation of models continues to use an inline five-cylinder engine, in addition, the high-end version of the Aodit 200 is equipped with a 2.2L high-power engine called T5, which has a maximum power of 163 horsepower. In the 90s, a more powerful turbocharged engine appeared on the Ausdi 200 model. At the same time, the all-wheel drive system is also added. In the same year, the 90 model year of the Aodi 100C3 was equipped with a 2.5L TDI engine for the first time. The diesel TDI engine is the most important engine technology core of Aodi in addition to TFSI.

The C3 platform Aodi 100 model sold about 1 million units worldwide that year, and this number has increased with the continuous upgrading of Aodi.

The C2 platform and the C3 platform are similar in appearance, the only difference is that there are more curved designs, so that the square car looks a little curvature, not as tough as before.

Therefore, Ye Kai decided to shorten the life cycle of the C2 platform and let the C3 come out in advance, so while gradually reducing the production of the C2 model, he began to let his automation team meet the equipment maintenance personnel of the factory to modify the mechanical equipment of the factory in batches.

This modification is estimated to take a year to complete, because it is necessary to look at the equipment that needs to be automated and then what improvements need to be made to allow the equipment to be processed and assembled more flexibly under computer control.

And Kailuo's CPU chip may take 2 months before it can be finalized and mass-produced, and then the relevant software standards can be finalized, and then Ye Kai's hardware company will start to design computer motherboards according to the chips. Therefore, before the hardware comes out, Ye Kai's automation team can only carry out preliminary preparations.

Then, after the hardware equipment comes out, write a special operating system and working software, and cooperate with automated mechanical equipment to debug and modify both aspects. As long as the work of a process is done, the subsequent modification will accumulate rich experience, and the time consumed will be greatly shortened.

After the renovation of this factory is completed, it is possible to start building a joint venture factory between Ye Kai and Hans, and at that time, the new model may have been tested, and it is waiting for the factory to be mass-produced.

Thinking of this, Ye Kai walked back to his place from the last row of traffic, and said to Hans and his party: "Let's go, let's go to the conference room, I have a new idea for the factory, and we'll have a good chat when we get there." ”

"Ye, don't you need to rest for one night first, but jet lag?" Hans saw the dust and dust, and Ye Kai, who couldn't hide his tiredness, asked with concern.

"I think I'll hold on a little longer." Ye Kai said with a smile. "I'm not going to talk to you, I'm afraid everyone has no bottom in their hearts, so let's all have a good night's sleep tonight."

Everyone smiled heartily when they heard this, and their anxious hearts seemed to have settled down a lot.
